"Captain, are you kidding me? You are unhappy and cannot punish me."

Yao Pengju felt miserable. If he had known this result, he would not have said much.

"Captain, you must not physically punish soldiers, let alone officers. Otherwise, you will lose the officer's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers." Matthew said.

"Yes, what our instructor said makes sense."

"Hey hey hey, this is not called corporal punishment, this is called running with me. I will run with you in a while. Lao Yao, as a good brother, you are not allowed to accompany me?"

Does Zhao Zhiguo have a way to deal with Yao Pengju?

"Then...that doesn't count as corporal punishment!" Matthew said.

"Instructor, save me!"

"You'd better wish for yourself."

On the training ground, Zhao Zhiguo and Yao Pengju were running side by side, but Yao Pengju was carrying weapons and equipment, while Zhao Zhiguo was walking lightly.

Gao Cang and Qin Dongsheng looked at Yao Pengju and gloated outside the training ground.

"Captain, Gao Cang is not on your side either. Why don't you let him run with you?"

"This is a test for you. As a special operations captain, your physical fitness must be better than that of your soldiers. Otherwise, how will you convince the crowd? Hurry up and run."

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo also wanted to take a breather. Yao Pengju was just an unlucky man who was temporarily captured.

In the hot summer, the Japanese army in Pingcheng spent several months renovating the train station.

The train station had just been repaired, but the Japanese army could no longer sit still and sent more troops toward Pingcheng.

Everyone knows that when the Japanese army increases troops in Pingcheng, these troops will eventually be sent to the front line.

But what Zhao Zhiguo and the others didn't expect was that the Japanese army actually sent additional troops to Wang County.

A Japanese army entered Wangxian County, and the number of Japanese troops in Wangxian County reached more than 500.

Zhao Zhiguo, who originally wanted to take action against Wangxian, felt his head was pounding when he learned that the Japanese troops in Wangxian had increased.

"The battle plan hasn't been finalized yet, but the little devil here made the first move."

Zhao Zhiguo grabbed his hair, feeling a little distressed.

Five hundred Japanese troops, even if Zhao Zhiguo and his troops could sneak into Jinwang County, facing so many Japanese troops, they were not absolutely sure of victory.

"Why did the little Japanese suddenly increase their troops? Could it be that they are coming for us? Although there have been small fights in the Bingzhou direction, the Japanese army has not expanded the scale of the war."

Tian Kezhi asked the doubts in his heart.

After the Pingcheng Railway Station was repaired, did the Japanese army first want to deal with them instead of the Jinsui Army?

"If the Japanese army wants to deal with us, it must be more than just sending a squadron. From the looks of it, it should prevent us from continuing to grow," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The Japanese army's control over Wangxian County was limited to the county seat. Zhao Zhiguo and others could come and leave as they pleased in the township areas.

Recruiting new soldiers under the nose of the Japanese army is a great shame and humiliation for the little devil.

The northern part of Wang County is a vast mountainous area. How easy is it to find Zhao Zhiguo and his troops?

Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo's troops would not take the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not intend to cede the Wangxian area to Zhao Zhiguo and allowed Zhao Zhiguo and others to grow stronger.

Therefore, the Japanese army simply sent more troops to strengthen their control over the Wangxian area to prevent Zhao Zhiguo's troops from taking advantage of their loopholes again.

According to the intelligence returned by the scouts, the Japanese army also set up checkpoints on the way into the mountains, and the Japanese army and puppet troops cooperated in inspections.

The scouts arranged by Zhao Zhiguo and others had no choice but to retreat into the mountains and returned to Anyang Town.

After learning that their scouts had retreated, Zhao Zhiguo finally understood that the Japs were planning to completely block them in the mountains.

"The Japanese army has recently not only deployed troops at the mountain pass, but also built artillery towers and strongholds near the mountain pass. If there is any trouble at the mountain pass, their reinforcements can arrive at any time."

There are not many roads into the mountains, and the Japanese army has sent additional troops, obviously targeting Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

"It seems that we should arrange a guerrilla force on the border of Wang County, but the risk is too high."

If Zhao Zhiguo wanted to get enough food and cotton to survive the winter, they had to stop the Japanese army's plan.

"Inform Yao Pengju and ask him to lead his troops to cause some trouble for the Japs. I would like to know how many troops the Japanese army will be able to deploy in Wang County."

Zhao Zhiguo must not let their road to Wang County be blocked by the Japanese army.

He also wanted to know how many troops the Japanese army was willing to devote to Wang County, which had little military value.

In fact, the Japs had another idea for sending more troops to Wang County. They didn't know that the troops in the northern mountainous area of ​​Wang County were Zhao Zhiguo.

Based on Zhao Zhiguo’s previous experience of destroying one of their squadrons, the Chinese army’s strength was at least one regiment.

And preliminary judgment shows that this regiment is still an elite regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.

The ultimate goal of the Japanese army was to march into Bingzhou and eliminate the main force of the Jinsui Army.

Before the little Japanese troops advance, they cannot let the Chinese army threaten the safety of their rear transport troops.

If Zhao Zhiguo takes control of Wang County and then uses small forces to continuously harass the Japanese logistics supply lines, it will seriously slow down their advance.

The Japanese commander simply sent troops to watch Wang County to death, blocking Zhao Zhiguo's troops from their supply lines.

After arranging these, the Japanese army could march with confidence and boldness.

The Japanese commander's judgment was also wrong.

In the past, Zhao Zhiguo's army did not have the strength of a regiment, but this time the expanded strength has indeed reached about 1,500 men.

Although there is a gap in strength between the regular main regiments of the Jinsui Army, the strength and combat effectiveness of Zhao Zhiguo's regiment are much stronger than those of the elite regiments of the Jinsui Army.

Fortunately, the Japanese army only regarded Zhao Zhiguo and others as a regiment of the ordinary Chinese army.

When the Japanese army began to build strongholds and artillery towers near the mountainous area in northern Wang County, a Japanese brigade in Pingcheng marched toward Bingzhou in a mighty manner.

Since they were beaten so badly last time, the Jinsui Army has been vigilant and has long been prepared for a bloody battle with the Japanese army.

"It seems that the Japanese army did not regard us as opponents at all!"

Zhao Zhiguo felt as if he had been despised by the little devil, and he felt a little unhappy.

"The more the Japanese army is prepared for us, the more necessary it is for us to take action," Matthew said.

"But we can't rush to capture Wang County. We must first destroy the little devil's plan to block the mountain, otherwise we will be controlled by others no matter what."

This operation of the Japanese army wanted to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to block Zhao Zhiguo and others in the mountains, and to achieve a military victory in the direction of Bingzhou.

But since ancient times, greedy people often end up with a bad death.

Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo has been coveting the kid's weapons, equipment, food and clothing for a long time. Since the kid doesn't take him seriously, he will let the kid improve his memory.

"Captain, please tell me how to arrange it. I will make sure that everyone in Anyang Town cooperates with you to fight this battle successfully."
