Zhao Zhiguo did not expect that the local people were so enthusiastic, and almost every household supported Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

"Then we will keep the explosives for making 500 landmines. Divide the remaining explosives into four parts. Can it fill half a water tank?" Zhao Zhiguo asked Gao Cang.

"I don't think it will work for a large water tank. A water tank that is about two inches thicker than my waist can hold four servings!" Gao Cang gestured with his hand.

"Then get four water tanks like that, half water tank with explosives, half water tank with broken porcelain pieces and broken nails! If it's not enough, use rocks. The harder the rocks, the better! I'll tell you when I go to the forward position.

Buried somewhere!"

"Half-water tank of explosives? How loud is the explosion? Can it overturn the little devil's armored vehicle?"

When Yao Pengju heard Zhao Zhiguo's thoughts, he was shocked and speechless. The explosion of so many explosives was more powerful than the Japs' aerial bombs.

"What we want is power. The greater the power, the more scared they will be when the little devils attack!"

According to Zhao Zhiguo's idea, it doesn't matter if no one is blown up. Even if a big crater of 300 square meters is blown up, anyone who sees it will feel terrified.

"Batalion Commander, where did you learn these methods? I'm a little scared! Will this hurt one of our own?" Yao Peng asked.

"Don't worry, how could I blow up one of my own people!" Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

Did Zhao Zhiguo know the power of the explosion of a half-tank of explosives? Fortunately, the terrain of their position was steep, so as long as the soldiers hid in the trenches, there would definitely be no danger.

"Then this is really enough for a kid to drink. I guess an explosion will be remembered in the kid's heart for the rest of his life!" Gao Cang said.

"Gao Cang, when the battle begins, I need to hide some of our strength on our positions, especially the position where your company is located!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "As long as your position's firepower is too weak, the Japs will definitely attack you with all their strength.

When the little Japs are about to approach your position, hit me hard and I'll leave it to you to reduce the firepower."

The Japs are attacking in a big way, and this time it is no small matter. The area is hundreds of miles away, but the road guarded by Zhao Zhiguo and the others is the most convenient and best place to travel.

The Japanese army relied heavily on automobiles for material transportation, so Zhao Zhiguo's defense zone became the only way for the Japanese to march westward.

"One more thing, the work of recruiting new soldiers cannot stop. After this battle, we may be exhausted!"

In Zhao Zhiguo's mind, their troops have not yet reached their peak combat effectiveness, but the Japs will never give them such a long time to train their troops to their peak combat effectiveness.

Zhao Zhiguo and the others were busy preparing, and the Little Devils were not idle either. Starting yesterday, trucks of Little Devils drove into Heyun County and left Heyun County one after another.

The supplies in Heyun County are becoming more and more abundant, and the little devils are even more strict about the people entering and leaving the city. From 6 o'clock in the evening, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city anymore, and there are patrols under the city wall.

Yao Pengju contacted Wu Gaoshi many times and learned that the trucks were basically loaded with grain and only a small amount of weapons and ammunition.

Based on this situation, Zhao Zhiguo calculated that the Japanese attack would take at least ten days.

"Ten days are enough for us to make all preparations, and we still have the opportunity to take the initiative!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Battal Commander, shall our special forces team go out?"

"That's what I mean! Although we can't stop the Japs from transporting supplies, we can't make them too comfortable. The troops should not enter Heyun County and just harass the Japanese transport convoy along the highway outside the city!"

"I know how to do this, and I will never be greedy for merit. Fight if you can, and run away if you can't!" Yao Pengju said.

"Okay, since you have thought about it, I will only give you six days. No matter what happens in these six days, you must bring everyone back to me after six days."

"Battal Commander, can I bring some of our homemade mines? I want to test their power!"

"Okay, it should be no problem to bring a dozen of them! Be careful when using them, homemade mines are unstable! Bring more grenades, you will need them."

After approving the special operations team's actions, Zhao Zhiguo and Gao Cang came to the roadside of the forward position.

Zhao Zhiguo has seen this road countless times. He knows how to go with his eyes closed. This time he is here to choose the location for their mine array.

"A water tank is buried here. All the water tanks are buried without any trace. There is no need to lay mines near here."

Zhao Zhiguo arranged the locations of water tanks and minefields in detail. These locations may be where the Little Japanese tanks stayed.

"Battal Commander, do we still need to lay mines in the direction of positions 3 and 4?" Gao Cang asked.

"No, we will just plant fifty trip mines near the mountain pass. Once the fight breaks out, only one platoon of troops will be sent to Position 3 to attack the vanguard of the Japs. We cannot lose too much in Position 3 this time.

troops."

This time the Japanese attack is different from the past. The scale of the troops is very large. It will inevitably carry a large number of artillery, and there will definitely be support from tanks and aircraft. There are only positions 3 and 4 of the surface fortifications. If too many troops are deployed, it will take too long to block the Japanese army.

If it is too long, it will inevitably be covered by Japanese artillery fire, and there will definitely be a large number of casualties.

Before the Japanese army attacked their main position, Zhao Zhiguo must first dampen the Japanese army's morale, so position No. 3 had to be defended and could not be defended for too long.

"Battal Commander, how many troops do you think the Japs will send to attack us this time?" Gao Cang asked.

"Our regiment will not face less than one Japanese regiment. If the Japanese artillery and aviation units cooperate, it means that our regiment will face at least about 4,000 Japanese troops. If the main attack direction is in our position, we will face

Against more than two brigades of Japanese troops, the strength is more than 2,000!"

Zhao Zhiguo was not worried about how many infantry the Japanese army would have. Their position guarded the road, and the Japanese army could not spread out much force in front of their position.

What worries Zhao Zhiguo most is the threat coming from above his head.

"With more than 2,000 people, the pressure is not very great!" Gao Cang said.

"You are quite optimistic! We are facing two thousand, and the troops in other directions will also face two thousand Japanese troops. Can we block the attack of two thousand Japanese troops, can other troops block the attack of two thousand Japanese troops?"

"That's right! It seems the situation is quite critical!"

"I hope the division commander can get us reinforcements as soon as possible. Once our two wings are breached, we will most likely be surrounded by the Japanese army. If we are surrounded by the Japanese army, the wounded cannot be evacuated, and the support cannot come in, the little devils will be able to kill us alive.

So sleepy!"
