Half the Japanese army turned around and entered the mountains again!

If there is no precaution, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this time, Zhao Zhiguo had completed replacing Gao Cang with new recruits.

Gao Cang's troops fought against the Japs for two days. Although they were in a defensive position, the troops still needed to rest.

As long as conditions permit, Zhao Zhiguo will ask the cooking team to cook a hot meal for the troops.

Being able to eat hot meals on the battlefield is a very luxurious thing, but this also proves that Zhao Zhiguo and his troops can still provide adequate logistical supplies.

While Gaocang and the others were resting, Qin Dongsheng and the others received intelligence from Pingcheng.

"A brigade of Japanese troops and a brigade of puppet troops are heading in their direction along the highway."

The person who sent the information was brought directly to Qin Dongsheng by the intelligence officers of Wangxian County, because the intelligence officers of Wangxian County could not judge the authenticity of the other party's identity.

He was also worried that his troops would miss important information, so the intelligence personnel brought it directly without any delay and let Qin Dongsheng make his own judgment.

In the past, Qin Dongsheng stuttered and did not even dare to give orders loudly in front of his subordinates.

But who would have thought that now he could lead an army alone and take charge of his own affairs.

"Whose person are you?"

Regarding the source of the intelligence, Qin Dongsheng looked calm on the surface, but he had more doubts in his heart.

One wrong piece of information could kill all the soldiers under his command, so he must be cautious.

The clothes the visitor was wearing could hardly cover his body, there were no shoes on his feet, and his hair was dirty and piled randomly on his head.

If a person like this comes to deliver information, anyone will be suspicious.

"I..." The visitor was a little nervous.

He had indeed seen armed Japs passing by him in the city.

But I have been an honest person all my life. When I saw a mighty army for the first time, I was filled with a sense of awe and it was inevitable that I would be a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, speak slowly."

Qin Dongsheng frowned. The other party's nervousness made his suspicions aggravate.

"I...I want to see Liu Guozhi!"

Liu Guozhi is Zhao Zhiguo’s pseudonym. Only Li Jingming from Zuixianglou knows Zhao Zhiguo’s true identity.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, when contacting Zhao Zhiguo, use the pseudonym Zhao Zhiguo.

"Liu Zhiguo?"

When they heard this name, the officers beside Qin Dongsheng looked at each other. They did not know who his name was Liu Zhiguo.

But when Qin Dongsheng heard this name, he knew that he could completely trust him.

Because very few people know the name Liu Zhiguo.

"Let me ask you, how far away are the Japanese troops from here?"

"When we arrived, the Japanese troops were still driving on the road, but they were marching very fast."

The person who came was not a professional intelligence officer, but a messenger. He could not judge the speed of the Japanese army based on his own ability.

"Okay, thank you. You did a good job, guard. Take him to have something to eat and then send him to a safe place."

"Squadron leader, who is Liu Zhiguo?"

After sending the visitor away, several company commanders under Qin Dongsheng asked curiously. They had never heard of this name.

"It's the captain's alias. You don't know it's normal. We immediately sent out scouts to fight against the Japanese troops. We're here to do the work."

It is still unknown from which direction the Japanese army will enter the mountain. They must be one step faster than the Japanese army.

"If it is true as that person said, there are quite a few Japs. The strength of one brigade plus two regiments of puppet troops is seven to eight times our strength!"

"Even if it's seventy or eighty times, we can't let a little Jaap pass without receiving the order from the captain."

Everyone knows that this battle is not easy to win.

If you want to eat up the strength of a Japanese regiment, this battle must be difficult.

The Japanese and puppet troops coming from the direction of Pingcheng were mainly composed of puppet troops, and the Japanese troops were under the protection of layers of puppet troops.

Guang Gusi had fought against Zhao Zhiguo and knew that Zhao Zhiguo had many tricks.

That's why he allocated his troops like this for this battle.

There were puppet troops at the front and rear, and the Japanese troops were protected in the middle. Even if Zhao Zhiguo wanted to attack them, the puppet troops would definitely suffer the most losses.

However, precisely because of the large number of puppet troops, the entire march was not very fast.

In the front are puppet troops marching on foot, and in the middle are Japanese trucks carrying Japanese soldiers.

Since the Japanese army ordered that the troops should not exceed the pseudo-legion in front, the little Japanese truck moved at a snail's pace.

Only a little devil can think of this weird way of marching.

"The cannons towed behind the trucks are all 92nd Infantry Cannons, twelve in total. They are an artifact of infantry support in mountain warfare."

The 92-step gun has a simple structure and is easy to disassemble and carry.

Even in mountainous areas with complex terrain, the Little Devil can be deployed quickly.

"The little devils seem to have no intention of stopping and have been marching westward. Are they coming towards us?"

After discovering the Japanese troops, the Chinese soldiers who were conducting reconnaissance immediately found out the equipment of the Japanese troops.

But this Japanese and puppet army was still marching and did not penetrate directly into the mountain from this direction.

"It's hard to tell in this situation. Look at the Japs. There are many soldiers marching on foot. That means something. There are a lot of provisions for the Japs in the car."

It's impossible for the Japanese army to bring trucks full of supplies to the battle, right?

"They're looking for a place to unload supplies from trucks? But where will they choose?"

“Villages or towns near highways are the best choice!”

If you have a house, you can avoid leaving your supplies outdoors. If it rains on a cloudy day and food and ammunition get damp, the supplies may be scrapped at any time.

Moreover, villages and towns often have water sources, which can solve the water problem of the troops at any time.

"You keep staring, I'll go back and report."

Qin Dongsheng quickly learned about the Japanese army's movements from the scouts.

After opening the map, Qin Dongsheng marked a village near the highway.

Because it is close to the highway and has convenient transportation, the village is much larger than other mountain villages.

"Here...Wangu Village! There are enough Japanese troops stationed in the village."

The little Japanese will definitely not consider the living environment of the puppet troops. As for where the puppet troops are stationed, the Japanese army will not care at all.

So the place of Eternal Village is enough for little devils.

"The Japanese army will definitely arrest a guide in Wangu Village. I guess this road is the best choice." said a company commander.

"The little devil will definitely send puppet troops into the mountains to explore the road first. Should we let the puppet troops go and ambush the Japanese army?"

"No, there are too many puppet troops. It is impossible to send out all the puppet troops to explore the road. Moreover, we cannot let the puppet troops pass easily. Even if the puppet troops are not effective in combat, they will still pose a threat."
