Strength is capital, but a dominant family is a threat!

Although Zhao Zhiguo does not have many troops, his combat effectiveness is obvious to all.

The 30,000 troops in his hands can equal the 200,000 Jin-Sui army.

If you want territory, you must have territory, if you want arsenal, you must have arsenal. It has a high prestige and has the strength of a warlord.

If Zhao Zhiguo breaks away from the Eighth Route Army at this time, he will still have a group of loyal followers.

Then if he wins a few more battles with the Japs, more and more people will support Zhao Zhiguo.

When Zhao Zhiguo has 100,000 troops in his hands, I am afraid that the Central Army will be afraid of him.

That’s why the words “bold and loyal” appeared.

No matter where the deputy commander-in-chief went, Zhao Zhiguo followed closely.

The headquarters, the training ground, the breeding grounds in the town, and the homes of ordinary people...

What Zhao Zhiguo's troops did was impeccable, even better than what other Eighth Route Army troops did.

"When do you plan to attack Jinyang?"

In front of a fence, the deputy commander stopped.

There is nothing wrong with the troops, the only thing left is to worry about the war.

Jinyang is now an important material station for the Japanese army's westward march. After the loss in the last attack on Heping City, the Little Devils have increased the number of troops in Jinyang City to a brigade.

"I'm waiting for Pingcheng to settle down!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

They have been occupying Pingcheng for some time, but many people are still homeless.

"If you need support, you can send a telegram directly to the headquarters." The deputy commander said, "Perhaps our troops behind enemy lines can help you contain some Japanese reinforcements."

"That's great, but...the time to attack Jinyang is really far away."

It's not that Zhao Zhiguo doesn't want to fight Jinyang, Jinyang is not as easy to fight as Pingcheng.

If Pingcheng is lost, the Japs will definitely pay more and more attention to Jinyang City.

If Jinyang is lost, a Japanese division will become Zhao Zhiguo's bag.

Zhao Zhiguo did not want to lose too many troops when attacking Jinyang.

If more than half were lost, and the Japanese reinforcements cooperated with the Japanese troops in Bingzhou, they might be able to recapture Jinyang and even storm Pingcheng.

A war on multiple fronts would be the most unfavorable to Zhao Zhiguo.

When he first captured Pingcheng, Zhao Zhiguo used it to distract the little Japs.

Masao Murano didn't know what Zhao Zhiguo's real purpose was, and with the help of manpower already deployed in the city, Pingcheng was captured before the Japanese army could react.

After Pingcheng is captured, Jinyang is the next target, as any soldier who has fought for two years knows.

Can't the little devil still see it?

Once Zhao Zhiguo's troops are assembled and mobilized, the Japanese army will inevitably strengthen Jinyang's defense.

It is really impossible to hide this from the outside world.

"If you need military support, you can send me a telegram. Although the support is not much, one or two regiments can still help you defend Pingcheng."

"Chief, if there are really unresolved difficulties, I will definitely send you a telegram." Zhao Zhiguo said, "But I still have one thing to worry about."

"Tell me about it!"

"I'm afraid that the Jinsui Army will ask for joint operations."

Zhao Zhiguo was worried that Qiu Zian would not be able to play such a big role.

If Mr. Yan insists on having his own way, no one can control him.

"You mean Lao Yan will disrupt your plan?" the deputy commander asked.

"After all, Bingzhou is his former home base. If we seize the opportunity and occupy Bingzhou, how can Mr. Yan give up?"

Once Zhao Zhiguo turns his goal to Bingzhou, the conflict between him and the Jinsui Army will be irreconcilable.

"This is indeed a big problem. In the three states of Jin, the Japs account for two of them, and you occupy one. According to your plan, you will occupy the third at any time. The person who can't sit still the most is not the Japs, but him.

Where is Lao Yan?"

Only then did the deputy commander realize that the issue raised by Zhao Zhiguo was no small matter.

"Mr. Yan came over and made a suggestion. If Bingzhou is captured, it should be divided into two, with each party occupying half!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"You agreed?"

"How could I agree to it? My brothers fought bloody battles and risked their lives against the Japs, and then surrendered Bingzhou to me?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Even if I agree to give each other half, Mr. Yan won't be greedy for the half in our hands?"

A person like Mr. Yan will not be satisfied for a long time. If he has half of it, he will still want the other half.

If one person occupies half, the conflicts will be greater in the future.

"Obviously Lao Yan is not a good neighbor!" the deputy commander also thought so.

When the time comes, one person will be half of them. If Zhao Zhiguo and the others don't cause trouble, the Jinsui Army will take the initiative to cause trouble.

"Can Bingzhou not be attacked?"

"It's possible, but... we need to use more troops to guard against the little Japs in Bingzhou," Zhao Zhiguo said.

After capturing Bingzhou, we can defend the Jin-Sui army with only one regiment.

But if the Japanese army were to occupy Bingzhou, Zhao Zhiguo and the others would have to guard against the Japanese army in Bingzhou from two directions, which would require at least 6,000 troops.

Moreover, they can only defend and cannot take the initiative on the battlefield, which is equivalent to giving up all possibilities of victory.

"Do you have any ideas?" the deputy commander asked.

"Yes, the powerful strength is enough to deter all powerful enemies!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

As long as a thin man has a sharp sword in his hand, he can scare the gangsters on the street.

Zhao Zhiguo continued: "If we can show that we can destroy the Jinsui Army without any effort, Mr. Yan will naturally not dare to say anything."

Just like a person can easily crush an ant, the ant doesn't even have a chance to protest.

"Your idea is a bit dangerous!" said the deputy commander.

"All the beatings we received and all the hardships we suffered were because we were not strong enough."

When you are strong, even rough and arrogant people will have to hold their throats when speaking in front of you.

If you are weak, even the beggars on the roadside will spit on you.

"This matter involves too much, so we need to consider it carefully." The deputy commander was really shocked by Zhao Zhiguo's idea, "I will report it immediately after I get back."

"Also, when you have plans to attack Bingzhou City, you must first send a telegram to the headquarters."

"I've written it down." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Today's conversation must not be told to a third person!"

"My subordinates understand!"

In fact, Zhao Zhiguo knew very well that as the Eighth Route Army became stronger and stronger, many things were inevitable.

It's like you suddenly become famous and your relatives and neighbors are jealous.

"Your army will be reorganized, either to form a military division or to form a column. When you are appointed, you must be mentally prepared and don't be too proud."

"Yeah!" Zhao Zhiguo nodded.

"You don't seem happy with the result."

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I just feel that the responsibilities on my shoulders are getting heavier and heavier."
