As soon as Zhao Zhiguo returned to Pingcheng, he received news about Cao Jiyu.

"Hey, brother, I'm sorry for you." Zhao Zhiguo sighed.

Zhao Zhiguo became suspicious when he thought about Mr. Yan, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"What kind of magic did you cast on Mr. Yan? Such a good leader, why would he not use it if he said he didn't need it?" Matthew Wen felt sorry for Cao Jiyu.

"If we want to recruit Cao Jiyu into our army, we have to make Cao Jiyu suffer a little first, otherwise he will not be disappointed with Mr. Yan."

As long as Cao Jiyu has some illusions about Mr. Yan, it will be difficult for Zhao Zhiguo to poach Cao Jiyu.

"This Cao Jiyu is in trouble. If he is capable, are you planning to make him the brigade commander?" Matthew asked.

Ma Xiuwen rarely heard Zhao Zhiguo praise others, especially as a military commander, there were not many junior officers who could be recognized and highly praised by Zhao Zhiguo, and Cao Jiyu was one of them.

"Don't think about it, has it been booked by the head of the headquarters?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

Before he could get the man, the head of the headquarters attacked Zhao Zhiguo first.

"Ah? Then we have been busy for so long and can't get any benefit at all. The head of the headquarters is also serious. We are also short of manpower here."

"Look, I said our political commissars are becoming more and more like our own people, right? Now we dare to argue with the head of the headquarters." Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

"Old Zhao, what are you thinking? In the future, we will expand our troops to conquer Bingzhou. We are short of brigade commanders and regimental commanders!"

It's not the fault of Matthew's impatience, but the development speed of the First Military Division has exceeded his expectations.

As Zhao Zhiguo said, after the recapture of Bingzhou, the number of troops in the First Military Division was at least 100,000 troops.

One hundred thousand troops, one regiment of 3,000 men, that’s thirty regiments!

The leader must have combat experience, and officers like Cao Jiyu can use it.

"The head of the headquarters is also short of people, so we need an instructor and an instructor to replace them," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"This business is a huge loss, and it is very likely that Liu Qingsheng will be involved. With Liu Qingsheng's combat experience, he is enough to be a battalion commander."

Matthew felt his heart was filled with panic.

"Lao Ma, I didn't feel sorry for you this time, why are you feeling so distressed? They are all from the Eighth Route Army. It's the same everywhere." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Besides, if the head of the headquarters wants someone, can I not agree?"

"Okay, but you don't dare to argue with the chief?"

"Hey? Shouldn't this be my line?" Zhao Zhiguo was confused, "When did my political commissar become so tough?"

"Always very tough!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely not be short of supplies for officers when the time comes."

"Report to the commander, the battle plan sent by Deputy Commander Gao." A communications soldier reported.

"Put it on your desk!"

Zhao Zhiguo didn't even bother to take a look.

"Gao Cang has a battle plan?"

"Lao Gao hasn't fought in a long time, and the battle formation has been sparse for a long time. Gao Cang lost a little confidence. I asked him to command a battle by himself. Firstly, Gao Cang was familiar with the rhythm of the attack, and secondly, he trained the troops." Zhao Zhiguo said.

As deputy commander, Gao Cang had a brigade of troops under his command in addition to the militia. He had the power to mobilize troops and launch a surprise attack.

"It seems that we will take action against Bingzhou soon." Matthew asked.

"Political Commissar, I don't plan to take action against Bingzhou for the time being."

When walking back from Mr. Zhang's place in Le County, Zhao Zhiguo changed his mind about directly attacking Bingzhou.

Everyone thought that when they were going to attack Bingzhou, Zhao Zhiguo refused to attack Bingzhou. He wanted to use Bingzhou to consume more of the Japanese army's effective forces.

"What does this mean?" Matthew was confused.

"Everyone knows that we are going to attack Bingzhou, so why can't we confuse Gangcun by attacking Bingzhou?"

The Japanese troops in Bingzhou City also believed that Zhao Zhiguo's troops would attack Bingzhou next, and Gangcun also believed so.

Since they all thought so, they used the plan to attack Bingzhou as bait to consume the Japanese troops in other directions.

"We do the opposite, but the most difficult pass to attack around us is the highway position. There are not many Japanese troops there, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even a sneak attack is difficult," Matthew said.

No one understands how difficult the road position is to fight better than Zhao Zhiguo, and he certainly knows the situation there better than Matthew Wen.

The rocks on the mountain can be made into semi-permanent bunkers for fortifications. If the Japanese army carries out further modifications, only the little devils will know how complicated the situation inside will be.

"I want to try calling for reinforcements first!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

When they attack Bingzhou, Gangcun will definitely not sit idly by and ignore them.

Zhao Zhiguo could have set up ambushes along the way, with the main goal of attacking the Japanese reinforcements.

"It's a good idea to surround the spot and call for reinforcements!" Matthew Wen said.

"When attacking the Japanese reinforcements, we cannot eliminate them all. We must send some of the defeated troops back and let our people blend in. It is best to do so at night so that the Japanese troops can be routed back." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The defeated Japanese army rushed to the road position, and their men could take the opportunity to sneak into the position.

Then the troops immediately launched an attack on the road position, cooperating internally and externally, and were able to explain the losses of their own troops.

"Yeah, this method is very feasible." Matthew nodded.

"Also, to attack Bingzhou, I think we should capture Bingzhou Airport first and let the Jinsui Army stationed at Bingzhou Airport." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"What do you mean?"

"I haven't thought about this plan yet. After all, it's not realistic to bypass Bingzhou and directly attack Bingzhou Airport. It would be great if there was a good way to bypass Bingzhou and directly capture Bingzhou Airport."

If Bingzhou Airport was not taken down, when they attacked Bingzhou, the Japanese commander could have taken advantage of the battle between the two armies to run to the airport in a car and then escape by plane.

Since we are going to fight against Bingzhou, we must fight a beautiful battle of siege and annihilation, and don’t let a little Japanese from Bingzhou go!

"Bypassing Bingzhou City and attacking Bingzhou Airport? This is a bit fanciful! Besides, Bingzhou is so close to the airport. If there is any trouble at the airport, the Japanese troops in the city will definitely be supported."

It only takes about ten minutes for the Japanese troops to rush to the airport to provide support. It is impossible for them to capture an airport where a Japanese regiment is stationed in just ten minutes.

What's more, they still have to deploy to prepare for the Japanese counterattack, otherwise it will be in vain to capture it!

"Yes, directly attacking the airport is a bit like a daydream!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "We will not know whether it is possible until Yao Pengju and Lu Zheng return from reconnaissance."

Zhao Zhiguo really hoped that Yao Pengju could bring him some useful information about the airport when he returned from reconnaissance this time.

On the boundary of Bingzhou, only the Japanese army's airport was the most mysterious to Zhao Zhiguo. They did not have much valuable intelligence, let alone how the Japanese army deployed firepower at and around the airport.

"I think first considering the aid of the siege, and the thoughts of Gangcun sent the reinforcements first, regain the road position, as long as we keep the road position, and then fight the state, how many aids in Gangcun sent us to restrain us are useless, it is useless
