It is still uncertain whether Jinyang is the main direction of the Japanese army's attack, and Zhao Zhiguo is far away in Pingcheng, so he can only leave it to Matthew Wen in Jinyang for deployment.

"The second brigade is on the outermost perimeter. Lao Qin is worried that if there is a war near Jinyang, he will not be able to help." Yao Pengju said.

"There are two regiments of troops defending near Jinyang City. As long as the bridge on the Longyan River is guarded, the Japanese army will be unable to move forward. When the time comes, Qin Dongsheng can launch an attack from the flank." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"What if the Japanese army targets the Second Brigade?" Yao Pengju was worried.

With so many troops prepared in Gangcun, the Japanese army must have no less than 20,000 troops attacking Jinyang City.

Not much troops can be deployed near the Longyan River bridge. One regiment is enough for the little Japanese.

If the Second Brigade is found on the flank of the Japanese army, the Japanese army will concentrate the remaining forces on Qin Dongsheng's Second Brigade.

There are not many reinforcements around the Second Brigade, and it will fall into a passive situation at any time.

The Second Brigade, which cannot receive effective support, will probably be crippled even if it survives.

If one of the three main brigades under Zhao Zhiguo is disabled, it will damage the morale of the entire First Army Division, and it is likely to affect their offensive combat effectiveness.

Qin Dongsheng's second brigade could not suffer too many losses before they launched a counterattack.

"We must have a force stay on the east bank of the Longyan River!" Zhao Zhiguo said firmly.

If the Japanese army controlled the area east of the Longyan River, they would have a more comfortable crossing on the other side of the Longyan River.

One unit stayed on the other side and frequently harassed the Japanese, which was able to contain the Japanese army's energy.

It not only has military significance, but also political significance.

The remaining troops were telling the people on the east bank of the Longyan River that their troops had not withdrawn and were still fighting against the Japanese invaders, and that they still had the possibility of retaking this land.

"As for how many troops the political commissar will leave on the east coast, it depends on how the political commissar deploys them," Zhao Zhiguo said.

The deployment of troops in the Jinyang area is in the hands of Ma Xiuwen, and Zhao Zhiguo does not want to interfere too much.

Matthew Wen is not a person who cannot listen to opinions. If Qin Dongsheng really feels that the situation is critical and very unfavorable to them, he will definitely put forward his opinions to Matthew Wen.

If Matthew Wen and Qin Dongsheng have any differences in opinions, they will definitely report it to Zhao Zhiguo.

"Otherwise, I can't be the commander. The thought of coordinating so many troops and so many departments makes my head grow bigger. I still like to go straight, target the little devil's vital points, and dig hard." Yao Pengju said.

"It's not that you can't do it, it's just that you don't want to do it. If you are forced to do this, you will do it," Zhao Zhiguo said.

It's not that Yao Pengju is mentally weak, it's just that he doesn't like to think about these things.

"These days, the special operations team has no mission, so you will stay in the headquarters as a staff officer. When a fight breaks out, if necessary, I will let you go," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"I don't know how to be a staff officer," Yao Pengju said.

"Then you will be the mascot and run errands in the headquarters!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Commander Xu, Yao Pengju will be under your control."

"Ah? Commander, are you kidding me? How can I care about Captain Yao?"

Tian Kezhi had already begun to deploy explosives and detonators in the village. He transferred a large amount of explosives from the arsenal, enough to blow the entire village to the ground.

The machine gun brigade is stationed on the east side of the village, the cavalry regiment is stationed far away from the village, and the air defense force is stationed near the entrance of the village.

Next, they just have to wait for the little devil to take the bait.

But a few days passed, and after waiting and waiting, the main force from Gangcun arrived, but no reconnaissance plane from the Japs came.

"I worry when I come, but when I don't come, I still miss him!" Tian Kezhi said.

When the Japs' reconnaissance planes were flying around Pingcheng every day, Tian Kezhi and the others dreamed of shooting down the Japs' planes every day.

But now he is looking forward to the appearance of Japanese reconnaissance planes.

As long as the Japanese reconnaissance plane appeared, it was confirmed that the Japanese army was suspicious of the village where they were located, and it also showed that his plan worked.

If the Japanese army failed to detect the village until the end of the battle, they would declare that the plan had failed. After a lot of work, Tian Kezhi did not help in any way, and even left the troops in his hands staring blankly.

"Report to the Chief of Staff that Japanese reconnaissance planes have been spotted again over Pingcheng, but they have no plans to move westward."

There are troops in Pingcheng who are always paying attention to the movements of Japanese reconnaissance planes.

Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared near Pingcheng almost every day, but they had no plans to go west from Pingcheng.

"Have our trucks been dispatched?" Tian Kezhi asked.

"The trucks were dispatched, but the Japanese reconnaissance planes did not follow."

Tian Kezhi was informed of the situation in Pingcheng at any time. Tian Kezhi was a little discouraged when he heard the news.

"Inform them to increase the number of trucks, five more. As long as the Japanese aircraft appear, they will pass under the Japanese reconnaissance planes. I still don't believe it. The little Japanese reconnaissance plane pilots are not interested in our trucks."

Tian Kezhi decided to increase the number of baits and lure Japanese aircraft to the village.

"Commander, this little devil's plane isn't flying west either. Why is it always wandering around Pingcheng? They have been scouting Pingcheng for so long, haven't they seen enough?"

"The Japanese army conducted frequent reconnaissance because they felt guilty and lacked the confidence to completely kill us," Zhao Zhiguo said.

Frequent reconnaissance but delay in taking action can only mean that the opponent is not completely sure.

If Gangcun was absolutely sure of crushing Zhao Zhiguo, he would never expend so much effort on reconnaissance.

"Well... that's the truth, but if the Japanese planes don't go west, our plan will come to nothing." Yao Pengju said.

The Japanese planes only scouted Pingcheng, as if Pingcheng had what they wanted.

"What do you want to see in Pingcheng?"

Zhao Zhiguo was also confused. Logically speaking, the Japanese army's frequent reconnaissance of Pingcheng must have a purpose.

"Your headquarters?" Yao Pengju asked.

"What are you asking me? I'm not a little devil!"

"Aren't you a roundworm in the kid's stomach? You know what they think."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. Be obedient and be your mascot."

Zhao Zhiguo was also wondering whether their disguise was too much and allowed the Japanese army to see their flaws?

Or was it the fake target they made last time that made the Japanese army suspicious? Gangcun, the old fox, didn't believe in all the military targets in Zhao Zhiguo's defense zone?

The reconnaissance plane was just used by the Japanese army to confuse Zhao Zhiguo?

"Impossible! The little devil is very smart and Gangcun is also very cunning, but they will definitely not put so much effort into useless things." Zhao Zhiguo reasoned.
