"The first and fourth brigades are responsible for the safety of Qin Dongsheng's two wings of their second brigade?" Qin Dongsheng asked, "The Third Brigade serves as a reserve team, and then each of their four brigades will strengthen the strength of another regiment."

"The artillery position should also be stationed around one or two regiments to be responsible for assisting the artillery regiment's defense."

The combat effectiveness of the artillery regiment is far less powerful than that of the four field brigades of Zhao Zhiguo. Moreover, when attacked, the artillery regiment must find ways to protect the artillery.

After all, these cannons were exchanged for their lives, and more warriors must be protected in the future.

"Then send two regiments. Although I am incorrect in saying this as a political commissar, cannons are sometimes more valuable than my life." said Matthewwen.

A cannon may save the lives of hundreds or even thousands of warriors.

Once the artillery position is threatened, the soldiers of the artillery regiment will surely protect the artillery as soon as possible.

"Send a cavalry regiment and an infantry regiment." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"If there were two regiments of escort artillery regiments, could our defense zone be bigger?" said Matthewwen.

"I don't worry about how big the defense area is. With such arranging troops, I have much less mobile troops available. What if the Japanese army sends an elite force to Pingcheng and Jinyang?"

Zhao Zhiguo deployed all the elites in his hands to the front line, and the rear would inevitably be empty.

The troops in the second line of defense have come out in full swing, leaving behind an empty city.

If Gang Village can be counted as empty behind Zhao Zhiguo and sending an elite cavalry, it will be possible to arrive day and night, and Zhao Zhiguo didn't even have time to dispatch reinforcements to return to support.

"We can deploy the remaining troops outside Pingcheng and Jinyang City, and be on guard!"

Although the remaining regiments are not strong in combat, they will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive by relying on solid fortifications.

"Once the war starts, we cannot retreat just by wanting to retreat," said Zhao Zhiguo.

Zhao Zhiguo's troops were all deployed, and Gangcun could also arrange their two-wing troops to wait for an opportunity to move without attacking. As long as they were restrained, the front-line troops could not be withdrawn for three or four days.

Even if they can retreat successfully, the Japanese troops that follow will force them step by step.

At that time, when time is tight, Zhao Zhiguo and the others cannot arrange close deployments on the second line of defense to block the Japanese army, and the second line of defense will lose its function.

"Old Zhao, I'm a little scared when you said it. The Japanese retreat this time will not be a retreat to advance, right?"

When Matthewwen heard Zhao Zhiguo's analysis, he felt a cold sweat coming out on his back.

Gangcun deliberately retreated, attracting Zhao Zhiguo's main force to come out, and taking advantage of the empty defense in the rear of Zhao Zhiguo, another elite force was sent to fight back.

At that time, the Japanese army in front would be responsible for restraining the main force of the First Military Sub-district. The Japanese army directly approached Pingcheng and directly took out Zhao Zhiguo's nest.

If Pingcheng and Jinyang City are lost, Zhao Zhiguo's main force will lose his way of retreat and will face strangulation from the Japanese army. If the main force is lost, the defense of the First Military Sub-district will be ineffective.

"Is it possible that Gangcun was deliberately showing it to us when he fell ill?" Matthewwen continued.

The more Matthewwen thought about it, the more he felt that this was a terrible trap. If this was the case, the probability of success was high, and he would probably put the First Military Sub-district into the pocket of Gang Village all at once.

"It should be true that Gangcun fell ill. After all, our special forces attacked the Japanese front-line command. If he wanted to pretend to be sick, it would be better to directly claim to be dead to the outside world, which would make us relax our vigilance." Zhao Zhiguo said, "But the analysis just now may have been born in Gangcun's mind."

Zhao Zhiguo also doubted whether Gangcun had thought so deeply about this deployment before he fell ill.

"Old Zhao, I'm so timid. You were scared to me. If this is true, the old Japanese devil in Gangcun is too scheming."

Matthewwen felt that his military thoughts and followers were not on the same level at all, just like General Xing Daorong of Lingling met Zhao Yun.

Zhao Zhiguo touched his chin: "It is better to set up an ambush instead of passive defense! Even if Gangcun did not expect this, we must be prepared in advance."

Hiding in Pingcheng and waiting for the Japanese army to fight was not Zhao Zhiguo's style of fighting.

"Set an ambush? Where to set up an ambush? Which army to set up an ambush? The elite troops are on the front line, and the remaining regiments have weak combat power and their firepower is not as good as other troops." Matthewwen said.

"Firepower is easy to solve. We also have anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, but where to set up an ambush is a problem," said Zhao Zhiguo.

Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are used to shoot flat, and the Japanese tanks can be penetrated. If they hit people, they will be even worse than dismembering five horses.

"There is Longyan River outside Jinyang City. If you defend the bridge, you can block the Japanese army. Moreover, if the Japanese army wants to dispatch large-scale troops, they must enter our military defense zone from Area 5." Matthewwen said, "When entering Area 5, it is close to Pingcheng, the Japanese army should not look far away."

If it is really based on Zhao Zhiguo's analysis, Gangcun will send an elite force to raid, and the primary target he chose is Pingcheng.

On the way from Area 5 to Pingcheng, you will pass through several mountains and rivers, which are all good places to set up ambushes.

"Political Commissar, if the Japanese army really made plans for this raid, they would definitely not bring the baggage troops, and they must act quickly, because they did not have supplies and would take down Pingcheng before we could react."

"If it were me, I would send cavalry. The cavalry was fast and could pass quickly when encountering a blockade." Matthewwen said.

"Yes, but how many cavalry can the Japanese army send? Five thousand cavalry?"

"Five thousand cavalry is not a small number. The Japanese cavalry brigade does not have so many cavalry, right?"

The Japanese cavalry brigade is not only composed of cavalry, but also troops such as infantry and artillery, and they will cooperate with the cavalry to fight.

"Just counting as a complete Japanese cavalry brigade, we must use at least four regiments to set up an ambush to reduce our casualties." Zhao Zhiguo said, "But where can the troops of our four regiments be hidden along the way?"

It’s easy to say at night, the night is dark and the wind is high, and there is no moonlight, and there is no sign of anyone a few meters away.

However, Zhao Zhiguo could calculate that the Japanese devils would engage in conspiracies, but they could not calculate when the Japanese devils would send troops.

If the Japanese army arrived at the place where they set up an ambush during the day and saw tens of thousands of people waiting for them in a dense place, the Japanese were not fools and would definitely not have been hiking into the ambush circle.

"Can we ambush in segments, let a group of Japanese troops go and cut off some of the Japanese troops?" Matthewwen suggested.

"This idea is pretty good, but it's suitable for ambushing troops with different maneuver speeds."
