This is not only true for the special service regiment, but also for other units directly under the headquarters.

The largest force is Ding Yucheng's reconnaissance group, which currently has more than 2,000 troops!

It was precisely because the army suddenly expanded a lot and there were too many new soldiers that Zhao Zhiguo arranged this plan to train the new soldiers in preparation for the next big battle.

"The 1,200 people in the secret service team are enough. If there are too many people, I won't be able to part with them," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Zhao Zhiguo's goal was actually very clear. The Japanese army came with 30,000 people, and it would be best if they could wipe them all out.

Annihilating 20,000 enemies was also a complete victory!

It is impossible for their troops to fight two decisive battles with the Japanese army in Pingcheng and Jinyang City at the same time.

A decisive battle began at the same time, and Zhao Zhiguo was unable to concentrate his superior forces.

Therefore, Zhao Zhiguo must deal with one side first, and then the other.

There is a Longyan River in the Jinyang area. As long as the bridge on the Longyan River is recaptured from the Japanese army, the escape route of these ten thousand little Japanese will be blocked.

But Pingcheng is different, there is no such perfect terrain around it.

Moreover, if we choose to eliminate the Japanese troops in the Jinyang direction first, Miura may be shaken and take the initiative to retreat.

Zhao Zhiguo would not do the same thing as picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

Moreover, Zhao Zhiguo did not know whether the Japanese army would have other troops in the rear ready to provide support at any time.

Once these ten thousand Japanese troops are blocked in the direction of Jinyang City, and the Pingcheng side cannot fight for a long time due to reinforcements sent from the rear of the Japanese army, the result may evolve in a worse direction.

Zhao Zhiguo was unable to mobilize troops to support the Jinyang direction at that time, and the troops responsible for guarding the bridge would face a crazy Japanese attack.

After three days, all the troops blocking the bridge might be wiped out, but Zhao Zhiguo was unable to mobilize a single soldier from the vicinity of Pingcheng to support them.

When Zhao Zhiguo said these words, Ma Xiuwen and Tian Kezhi were stunned.

At this time, the two men understood that although this battle was set up by them, their defense area was facing huge risks before the result came out.

Once a deployment error occurs on the battlefield, their goal of annihilating the Japanese army may not be achieved.

"The two of us thought this battle was too simple." Matthew admitted that he underestimated the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army launched the attack without sufficient preparation, their strength should not be underestimated.

On the battlefield, whoever despises the enemy will definitely lose.

Matthew Wen and Tian Kezhi felt that this battle would be easy, and they did psychologically despise the Japanese army.

"The total strength of the Japanese army is more than 30,000." Zhao Zhiguo said, "This is not a small battle."

If there were several thousand Japanese troops, Zhao Zhiguo wouldn't even have to rush back to Pingcheng, Tian Kezhi and the others would be able to handle them.

"I'd better go to Lu Zheng's side in person." Zhao Zhiguo thought for a while, "Tian Kezhi, in my name, send a telegram to all the troops, except the troops defending Jinyang, bring all weapons and equipment, and immediately report to Pingcheng

Assemble.”

"Commander, where are Brother Zhao's troops?" Tian Kezhi asked.

If Zhao Ziming's troops are transferred, Jinyang will only have 5,000 troops!

With ten thousand troops, the Japs were so aggressive that they were under too much pressure to attack Jinyang City, which was defended by only five thousand troops.

"The little devils' ammunition and supplies can only be used up in three days." Zhao Zhiguo said, "They have already consumed more than half of the supplies they carried on the road, and Lu Zheng leads the troops there, which will definitely contain more Japanese troops."

The little devils also knew that the bridge over the Longyan River was a top priority. If something went wrong, not only would supplies not be delivered to them, but their retreat would also be cut off.

As long as Lu Zheng successfully captures the bridge over the Longyan River, he will surely be able to contain several times the number of Japanese troops.

When the time comes, the Japanese army still wants to attack Jinyang? I'm afraid they just want to seize control of the Longyan River.

"I will now draft a telegram in your name and order all troops to gather at Pingcheng."

Only then did Tian Kezhi and Mao Wen realize that as long as fighting broke out near the Longyan River bridge, the Japanese army had no intention of attacking Jinyang.

Jinyang City, which seems dangerous, is actually the safest.

On the contrary, the 20,000 Japanese troops led by Miura, with cavalry and tanks, were so aggressive that they killed people.

"Political Commissar, I'll leave this to you. I have to go to the secret service group." Zhao Zhiguo turned around and shouted, "Guard, prepare your horses!"

Lu Zheng had never been a regiment commander, so even if he was asked to serve as a battalion commander, he felt that his abilities were somewhat lacking.

As Zhao Zhiguo said, if the secret service team is defeated, they can rebuild it.

It was this battle that put a lot of pressure on Lu Zheng.

"Hey... I hope Lu Zheng can withstand the pressure this time. The future is limitless. If he can't withstand it..." Matthew Wen sighed.

On the battlefield, if you can't resist, there is only one result, death!

Lu Zheng has indeed fought in Zhao Zhiguo's army since he came to it, but he has never led his troops to fight alone, nor has he fought hard or fierce battles!

In other words, after Lu Zheng became a cadre, the army was at its most smooth sailing.

When Zhao Zhiguo came to the secret service group, Lu Zheng looked at Zhao Zhiguo with a confused look on his face.

He had heard more or less about the news from the outside world. When he saw Zhao Zhiguo, he was surprised and happy: "Commander, is your soul back?"

"I'm not dead, I have an urgent order!"

Zhao Zhiguo had no time to greet Lu Zheng.

"Order?" Lu Zhengzheng hadn't received an order alone for a long time, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Do you know about the Japanese attack?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"We already know that there are more than 30,000 Japanese troops attacking our defense area. I heard that the Japanese cavalry has broken through our defense line."

After Lu Zheng became the commander of the regiment, he paid a lot of attention to things in the defense area.

"I'm giving you an important task now!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Go and support the Jinyang direction."

"Support the direction of Jinyang?" Lu Zheng hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, "Of course it's no problem, there are so many defenders in Jinyang City, we can be their reserve team."

"No! You are not a reserve team. The mission of your special agent group is to cross the Longyan River, then seize control of the Longyan River from behind the Japanese army, and hold on to the Longyan River for three days. Within three days, no orders were received.

You have to lead the soldiers of the special agent group to defend until the last soldier. After three days, no matter how many people are left, your special agent group will be the hero of this battle." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Attack the Japanese army and then defend the bridge? Commander, I'm afraid of such an important task..."

Lu Zheng was performing such an important defensive task for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Since the establishment of the secret service battalion, it has never fought a tough battle, but this time it has undertaken such an important task.

"Lao Lu, let me ask you a question, are you determined to complete this task?" Zhao Zhiguo asked seriously.

"Report to the commander, the special agent team will resolutely complete the mission."
Chapter completed!
