Chapter 664: Send Zhu Hongsi To Go
The more difficult the time, the more you must have the spirit of struggle. As long as you survive this most difficult period, there will be brighter days ahead.
"We definitely can't help much with the Jinsui Army. As for us, if we can eliminate one more enemy and start a full-scale war with the Japs in the future, we will be less stressed."
In a war, it is not always the case that one loses the other. When the veterans on both sides are fighting equally well, and when the rest are recruits, it depends on which side has more endurance.
After all, no matter how bad China is today, it will never be worse than it is now.,
"I'm afraid that the little devils will find out that we are in Anyang Town and send heavy troops to encircle and suppress us!"
With a single round of infantry, Zhao Zhiguo and the others could completely defend Anyang Town.
But the little devil's plane is really not a decoration.
Anyang Town is originally located in a mountainous area, with a small population and narrow terrain.
A Japanese bomber squadron can plow the town of Anyang.
Although there are tunnels in Anyang Town for troops to avoid Japanese bombing, what about the people of Anyang Town?
Just four simple words of "relief" can lead to hundreds of thousands of people abandoning their homes and careers or losing their wives and children.
"I usually see you being silent, but I didn't expect you have a lot on your mind." Zhao Zhiguo smiled happily.
If everyone in their group could be like Tian Kezhi, there would be no need for Zhao Zhiguo.
"After all, he is your adviser, and Anyang Town is also our only place to stay."
"The mountains are our rear area. As long as our sentries don't let the little devils in intentionally, we will have enough time to retreat into the mountains."
Zhao Zhiguo never thought of defending Anyang Town.
"After withdrawing into the mountains, will the people also withdraw with us? With so many people entering the mountains, the grass roots will be eaten up."
If the troops are ready to withdraw, they will be able to withdraw as soon as they are told to withdraw.
But what about the people in Anyang Town? If they don't withdraw, will the little Japanese let them go?
The Japanese army’s bestial behavior on the land of China is too numerous to describe.
"How many troops do you think the Japanese army will station in Anyang Town when they attack? A regiment or a brigade? If we weren't here, they would even only want to station a small group of troops in Wang County."
The Wangxian area was very poor. If it weren't for the presence of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, the Japs would only arrange for a small team to be stationed in Wangxian, and cooperate with the local puppet troops to ensure that Wangxian had no worries.
However, there happened to be a restless Zhao Zhiguo nearby, which caused the Japanese army to fight on the front line and had to separate two squadrons of troops in Wang County.
Anyang Town is poorer than Wang County. Of course, Zhao Zhiguo did not discover that Anyang Town has rich coal resources.
Therefore, Zhao Zhiguo felt that even if the Japanese army could occupy Anyang Town, they would not station more than one squadron of troops in Anyang Town.
"There are also tunnels dug by the Pang family in Anyang Town. If the Japanese army is not stationed with many troops, we can arrange an ambush in the tunnel in advance and cooperate inside and outside to eliminate the Japanese army!"
There are no roads in Anyang Town, and it is impossible for Japanese trucks to drive in.
If the Japanese army stationed too many troops in Anyang Town and the people of Anyang Town were transferred away by Zhao Zhiguo, how would the little Japanese rely on supplies?
The advantage of being poor is that if the enemy comes in, he will probably leave hungry.
"It seems that Captain, you have already dug a hole for the Japanese army and are you just waiting for them to get in?"
"I'm not worried about anything else. What I'm most worried about is our ammunition problem!"
Although the food is not enough to eat, we can still persist, and even if the land is barren, as long as there is no drought, we can still produce some every year.
But bullets cannot be grown in the ground.
Don't underestimate a small cartridge case. Only a few arsenals in China can make it.
At present, Zhao Zhiguo and the others can only create earth mines, which means hollowing out a complete stone, filling it with gunpowder, and then sealing it with mud to leave a lead!
As the frequency of battles with the Japanese army became higher and higher, their limited ammunition was consumed faster and faster.
If this problem is not solved, it won't be long before they run out of bullets.
"Captain, part of the money you got from Pingcheng has already arrived in Anyang Town. Should we use part of it?"
In Pingcheng, Zhao Zhiguo handed over this batch of money to Li Jingming. Li Jingming did not dare to transport all the money out of Pingcheng, so he could only send it to Anyang Town in batches.
"Most of our guns are Japanese-style weapons. We can't do business directly with the Japanese army. We have to find a way from the puppet army."
The little Japs have strict military discipline. If it was the Osaka Fourth Division, Zhao Zhiguo felt that the sale would definitely be possible. But for other little Japs, no matter how much money Zhao Zhiguo offered, they would not sell bullets to Zhao Zhiguo.
"The puppet troops in Wang County are unreliable, why don't we buy them from the Pingcheng area?"
There are a large number of puppet troops in the Pingcheng area. Many puppet troops were equipped with some Japanese weapons after defecting to the Japanese army.
Moreover, the puppet troops are greedy for money and it is common for them to lie about supplies.
"Who do you think is the most appropriate person to send to take care of this matter?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.
If the transaction is completed, it will definitely be more than just this one, and we will definitely need to contact you in the future to do more business in this area.
"Only Yao Pengju and Qin Dongsheng are most familiar with Pingcheng."
Yao Pengju and Qin Dongsheng are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates, but the battle in Wangxian County starts as soon as it starts, and two important commanders cannot leave just now.
"No, the situation in Wang County is getting more and more complicated. Neither of them can leave."
Zhao Zhiguo frowned and paced inside the headquarters.
"How is Zhu Hongsi?"
Until now, Zhao Zhiguo has not figured out Zhu Hongsi's identity.
According to Zhao Zhiguo's guess, Zhu Hongsi was imprisoned in Pingcheng Prison at that time and was shackled. He should have an underground identity.
To go to Pingcheng to buy weapons and ammunition, all you need is a false identity. Perhaps Zhu Hongsi has an unexpected method for Zhao Zhiguo.
"Is it appropriate to send him?"
Tian Kezhi also knew that Zhu Hongsi's identity was somewhat special, and Zhao Zhiguo did not hide this from him.
If Zhu Hongsi's identity is beyond their control, allowing him to go to Pingcheng may be letting the tiger go back to the mountains, and may also expose Li Jingming and Zuixianglou.
"Don't be suspicious of people, but don't be suspicious of people you employ! If something happens, I'll take the responsibility! Let him figure it out on his own for the time being. If he can't do it, I'll ask Li Jingming to help him."
Having made up his mind, Zhao Zhiguo ordered Zhu Hongsi to be called to the headquarters.
When Zhu Hongsi learned that Zhao Zhiguo was going to send him to Pingcheng, he was very surprised.
After he came to Zhao Zhiguo's army, he has always been conscientious, doing more things and talking less.
Although Zhu Hongsi is very familiar with Pingcheng, on the surface, he is not the most suitable candidate in this regard.
But Zhao Zhiguo chose him.
"Captain, why me?" Zhu Hongsi asked the question in his heart.
