Because Huixian and Xingxian are now Kuomintang-controlled areas, Shi Kaicheng and Chi Zishen will definitely not let Zhao Zhiguo's troops pass through their defense areas easily.

Therefore, when the troops of the First Military Division advance eastward, Heyun County is an important link.

If the Japanese army captured Heyun County when Zhao Zhiguo's troops were advancing eastward, they would be able to cut off the retreat of the eastward advancing troops, and then attack Zhao Zhiguo's troops with superior force, which would inevitably defeat Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

The Japanese army hid its troops in Huixian and Xing counties, which definitely exceeded Zhao Zhiguo's expectations.

The troops of the First Military Division certainly did not expect that the Japanese troops would come from Huixian and Xingxian counties.

"Although this plan is good, Zhao Zhiguo's troops never appear in scale."

If Zhao Zhiguo's troops marched on a large scale, Gangcun would not have a headache.

The troops dispatched by the First Military Division were sent out in scattered pieces, with the largest size being a company.

A company or a platoon has a small number of troops and flexible actions. When the Japanese army wants to pursue and intercept them, they rely on their small number of troops and flexible tactics to appear in unexpected places.

Although they were in the Japanese war zone, Zhao Zhiguo's troops were able to confuse the little Japanese.

This kind of fighting method used by regular troops cannot be learned in military schools.

The key point is that Zhao Zhiguo's troops dispersed and were able to assemble even if they were said to be assembled. They could fight when they were separated, and they could fight when they were combined.

Gangcun sent fewer troops to pursue these troops. If they were unlucky and happened to encounter a group of troops, the Japanese troops would be eaten by Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

If heavy troops are sent out, the troops of the first military division will be organized into platoons, and they will not be able to move anywhere.

Small groups can take untrodden paths and even use ropes to cross cliffs.

But thousands of people used ropes to cross the cliff one by one, and it would take years and months to catch up to the Chinese army.

Zhao Zhiguo continued to cause trouble to Gangcun using methods that Gangcun had never seen before and that the Japanese army could not learn.

With the Hutuo River as the dividing line, although Japanese troops were stationed on both sides of the river, the west bank seemed to have little to do with the Japanese troops.

Gangcun could only keep emphasizing the importance of the Hutuo River to his subordinates, hoping that he would be more vigilant at all levels to prevent infiltration by the First Military Division.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the map in Zhao Zhiguo's hand became more and more detailed.

"Commander, west of the Hutuo River, except for a few county towns that are still in the hands of the Japanese army, there is no Japanese army left outside the city now." Tian Kezhi told Zhao Zhiguo, "Should we send troops to the townships?"

"No! It's not time yet, let the local guerrillas handle it," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The Hutuo River is Zhao Zhiguo's target. Now Gangcun has been stimulated. If Zhao Zhiguo sends troops nearby again, it will only make the Japanese troops on the Hutuo River line more vigilant.

Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to irritate Gangcun now. What was going on on the east bank of the Hutuo River? Their eyes darkened.

It seemed to relax the tense nerves of the Japanese army, and they had a chance to cross the river.

"With victory in sight, more and more people are joining the guerrillas in this area, and the personnel are becoming more and more complex." Tian Kezhi told Zhao Zhiguo.

The Japanese and puppet troops left, and some people believed that this area would sooner or later belong to the First Military Division.

As a result, opportunistic people are like joining the guerrillas in order to gild themselves and become one of their own.

When the guerrillas are full, some simply form a team of their own and act in the name of guerrillas.

As the personnel became more and more complex, in order to solve the ration problem, these temporarily formed guerrillas began to collect grain in the name of the First Military Division.

The troops of the First Military Division have not yet settled in this area, and their reputation will be ruined by these people who make up the numbers.

"If you don't get used to it, tell Cao Xinghua that anyone who harms the people, no matter what their status was before or what they are now, can be executed on the spot."

At this time, in the name of the First Military Division, he extended his hands to ordinary people. Zhao Zhiguo did not want their hands, but their lives.

Only by killing one can we serve as a warning to hundreds!

If the evil trend is not suppressed, sooner or later the First Military Division will be counterattacked by this evil trend.

"Also, the First Military Division will not recruit troops from this area for the time being. Anyone who is under the banner of chaos will be treated as a bandit."

"In troubled times, use heavy codes! I support Lao Zhao's decision!" Matthew Wen said.

In fact, it is hard to say who will control this map in the future.

It is inevitable that the Japanese army will launch a counterattack against the First Army Division. It depends on how long the Japanese army needs to prepare.

As long as Gangcun is ready, he will definitely attack the troops of the First Military Division in an attempt to drive Zhao Zhiguo back to the mountains.

"Commander, there is something going on in Xingxian County. The people we arranged in Xingxian County sent back the news that Japanese troops entered the brigade headquarters of the Xingxian Security Brigade and stayed there for about three hours."

Chi Zishen didn't want to be involved in the fight between the Japanese army and Zhao Zhiguo. He just wanted to stay in Xing County peacefully and ignore what was going on outside the window.

However, things were not as simple as Chi Zishen expected.

"The pond is deep and you want to surrender to the enemy?" Matthew asked.

"If they really surrender to the enemy, our First Military Division will not have any burden to take action. They will not surrender to the enemy blatantly."

It is now obvious that the Japanese army will not send large-scale troops to assist Huixian and Xingxian.

At this time, Zhao Zhiguo openly surrendered to the enemy and had a reason to send troops.

With the strength of the Huixian and Xingxian security brigades, the two regiments of the First Military Division are enough to deal with them.

"Secretly surrendering to the enemy? It's hard to get evidence."

If they are secretly colluding with the Japanese army, they are still the Chinese army on the surface. As long as they don't have sufficient evidence, Zhao Zhiguo will have nothing to do with them.

"We have to send security troops to the direction of Xingxian. If the Xingxian security brigade surrenders to the enemy, the Japanese army may enter our military defense area from the direction of Xingxian." Zhao Zhiguo said.

In fact, Chizi Shen did not surrender to the enemy.

The Japanese army really wanted to take control of the Xingxian Garrison Brigade when they went to Xingxian County, but Chi Zishen did not agree to the Japanese army's conditions.

Chi Zishen told the Japanese army that if the Japanese army wanted to borrow a road from Xingxian to launch an attack on the First Military Division, the Xingxian garrison brigade would definitely stand still and clear a way out.

In fact, Chizi Shen did not dare to move. If he dared to move, he would be eaten by the Japanese army.

The Japanese army can do whatever they want, but Chi Zishen cannot lose control of the garrison brigade like Shi Kaicheng did.

Although Chi Zishen did not surrender to the enemy, his behavior was similar to that of surrendering to the enemy. However, in Chi Zishen's view, he had interests with the Japanese army rather than directly recognizing the Japanese army as his godfather.

But Chi Zi Shen's behavior is no longer substantially different from that of a lackey.

"Shi Kaicheng has been quite honest recently and has not found out that they have any dealings with the Japanese army. Could it be that after returning from our place, he decided to work hard and work hard to improve himself?"
