After reporting on the movements of Zhao Zhiguo's troops, Murano Masao thought that Bingzhou was going to take action against Zhao Zhiguo.

In fact, the Japanese army in the direction of Bingzhou mainly wanted to confirm that Zhao Zhiguo's main force stayed where it was and would not threaten their transportation line to the south.

"Captain, there is news from Bingzhou that the Japanese army will most likely load the equipment and transport it out of the city in three days."

"After three days, can you confirm the specific time?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"This is the limit of the intelligence personnel. Although the little devils did not take these mechanical equipment very seriously, they also sent troops to protect them!"

Their intelligence officers are not immortals and can penetrate into the little devils.

Underground intelligence personnel in Bingzhou can only judge the recent situation of the Japanese army through the trucks, manpower mobilized by the Japanese army and the equipment they dismantled.

"In this case, our troops can only enter the ambush site in advance." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Did the intelligence say how many troops the Japanese army will have?"

"The Japanese army transported this batch of equipment in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. There were not many people protecting it, only about a squadron."

The little devils have a precedent of sending troops to protect their chambers of commerce to ensure normal trade and not be robbed by armed forces along the way.

Moreover, transporting equipment in the name of the Chamber of Commerce can avoid local attention.

After all, the chamber of commerce transports goods, such as tea, soap or stockings.

Generally no one will rob these goods, including bandits!

After all, even if the bandits robbed more than a dozen trucks of silk stockings, they couldn't afford to wear one stocking for everyone, from the boss to the subordinates.

The purpose of the little devil is to deceive others.

But the disguise of the Japanese army was too poor, and it felt like there was no silver in this place.

The Japanese Military Chamber of Commerce has never done anything good in China. They are just a spy organization in disguise. They just don't wear wolf's clothing.

Using the Chamber of Commerce to transport supplies is just a kid deceiving himself.

"Captain, how many people do you want Lao Qin to send? With the strength of the Japanese army, plus possible reinforcements nearby, six companies will be enough."

Tian Kezhi carefully calculated the strength of his troops. Three companies were responsible for destroying the Japanese army, and the remaining three companies were responsible for blocking Japanese reinforcements.

"No, if we only eliminate the enemy's effective forces, six companies are indeed more than enough, but this time we not only cost the little Japanese's life, but also compete with the Japanese army for time."

Zhao Zhiguo is not afraid of the Japanese troops on the ground!

What Zhao Zhiguo fears most is the Japanese aircraft. Once the Japanese aircraft arrive on the battlefield, they will have a clear view of what is happening on the ground.

Even if they grabbed the mechanical equipment by then, they would not be able to transport it away under the surveillance of Japanese aircraft.

Therefore, we must pay attention to efficiency in this battle. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed.

As long as they can get all the equipment away before the little devils do, the little devils can't do anything to them.

"Ask Zhu Hao, the guard company and the reconnaissance company to report to Qin Dongsheng and let them take action tonight," Zhao Zhiguo ordered, "tell Qin Dongsheng that before launching an attack, he must keep his whereabouts secret and never expose his target."

"Should we take the first and third battalions out for training tomorrow night?" Tian Kezhi asked.

As long as the little devil is sure that Zhao Zhiguo's main force has not moved away, the little devil can safely and boldly transport supplies.

"No, set the first and third battalions' operations time for the day after tomorrow."

They must do their best to ensure the safety of Qin Dongsheng and others.

"I'll give the order right away!"

"Wait a minute, give Qin Dongsheng another order. If the operation does not go smoothly, all the Japanese transport trucks can be blown up at the last moment."

Zhao Zhiguo thought for a while and added another order.

Whether that batch of machinery and equipment can fall into their hands depends on fate.

Tian Kezhi nodded and then issued orders to each battalion.

After receiving the order, Qin Dongsheng led his troops to march at night and rest during the day, all the way to the final route of the Japanese convoy.

In addition to the ambush troops, Qin Dongsheng also sent two companies of troops to move in the two flanks, and then lurked in case the Japanese army would send additional reinforcements.

At this time, Qin Dongsheng did not know whether the Japanese army would enter their ambush circle at night or during the day.

"Old Qin, the surrounding people have been mobilized. As soon as the gunshots are fired, they will come to support us and help us carry the supplies on the truck."

Zhu Hao had already greeted the nearby militiamen a few days ago.

"I asked Zhu Hao, can the local people be trusted? If any one of them has a problem, we will be in danger."

The news of their actions was leaked, so not only could they not ambush the Japs' convoy, they might also have attracted the Japs from around them.

"Don't worry, I have already given instructions to the militiamen, and the people they have contacted are all reliable people. I am very familiar with the confidentiality discipline of our army."

"You are so capable, how about I find an opportunity to talk to the regiment leader and transfer you to our camp." Qin Dongsheng said.

"Battle Commander Qin, we are not poaching like this. Aren't you afraid that our battalion commander will settle the score with you after you return?"

Zhu Haoke is the only battalion-level instructor among the three battalions, and he is the political commissar in one step.

"That's right, our regiment lacks cadres like you. Even if you are transferred in the future, it won't be a horizontal transfer, but a promotion!"

Officers like Zhu Hao are very popular among Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

His role in the army is obviously greater than that of an instructor. Once the position of political commissar becomes available in the army, Zhu Hao will definitely become the political commissar.

"We are just a brick in the revolution. We can move it wherever it is needed. I have never thought about getting promoted."

If Zhu Hao wanted to get promoted and make a fortune, he would not have come to a remote place like Anyang Town by himself.

He is a man of faith, and his faith will not change due to anything outside.

"Report to the battalion commander, the surrounding area has been scouted and no trace of the Japs was found." The scout returned.

"Send a report to the group leader and tell him that we have arrived at the designated location."

When Qin Dongsheng and others arrived at the designated location, Gao Cang, Zhao Ziming and others also took action with their troops.

When both the first and third battalions launched an attack on the Japanese army, the Japanese soldiers in Bingzhou felt relieved.

Because judging from the reaction of Zhao Zhiguo and his troops, Zhao Zhiguo did not know that they were transporting this batch of machinery.

However, the little devils never imagined that there was a big surprise waiting for them on their transportation route.

"Captain, the latest information from Bingzhou City is that the Japanese convoy set off last night. There are thirty-seven trucks in total, ten trucks are full of soldiers, and the remaining trucks are filled with machines disassembled from the Bingzhou Arsenal."
