Yao Pengju completed their mission as scheduled, but this does not mean that they are very safe. It will not be long before the Japs will catch up with them. Before they can completely get rid of the Japanese pursuers, they will face danger at any time.

"Battalion Commander, our ammunition is almost used up and we can no longer maintain our combat effectiveness." A team leader said.

What gave Yao Pengju an even bigger headache was not the pursuit of the Japanese troops, but the fact that they had exhausted all their ammunition. If they encountered the Japanese troops again, they would have no choice but to fight in close combat with the Japs.

"Let me think about it!" Yao Pengju frowned and tried hard to think of a solution, "By the way, there is also a batch of weapons and ammunition in the blacksmith shop."

Yao Pengju suddenly remembered that he and Zhao Zhiguo had seized a batch of equipment from the puppet army when they sneaked into Heyun County. At that time, he thought it was a pity that these equipment could not be taken away, but Zhao Zhiguo reminded him to hide them in the blacksmith shop. Sooner or later, he would be able to use them.

.

"Let's go back to the blacksmith shop in Heyun County. There are weapons and ammunition there." Yao Pengju made a prompt decision.

For Yao Pengju and the others, sneaking back to Heyun County was already a familiar route, and the little devil never imagined that they would return to Heyun County again.

The special forces team just disappeared. The Japanese army turned over every inch of the surrounding land, but they couldn't even find the ghost.

On the battlefield, Zhao Zhiguo was slowly planning the day. He was not worried that his troops would not be able to break through the Japanese encirclement, but was worried about Yao Pengju.

"Batalion Commander, today is already the eleventh day. Should we launch a counterattack against the little devil?" Qin Dongsheng suggested.

They held the position for eleven days. Although the Japanese army did not launch an attack for half of these eleven days, they strangled the little Japanese by the neck.

"It's not the right time yet, but we really should find out about the little devil."

They have been cut off from the outside world for eleven days and have no idea what happened to the division and regiment headquarters.

"It stands to reason that eleven days have passed, so the division commander should take the initiative to send someone to contact us." Qin Dongsheng said, grabbing his hair that had turned into a chicken coop.

They have blocked the Japanese attack here for such a long time. If it is really effective, at least the division headquarters will be safe.

Since the Japanese army did not attack or capture Pingcheng for such a long time, the division commander should have understood that something must have gone wrong with the Japanese army, which was why he did not order a strong attack. He would have sent soldiers to find out the situation.

And Zhao Zhiguo and his battalion were hearing the sound of gunfire and artillery fire from their position, so they could definitely know that Zhao Zhiguo and his battalion were still holding on to their position.

In fact, the division commander discovered an abnormality after Zhao Zhiguo and the others were surrounded for a week. If the Japanese army attacked with all their strength, Lu Ziming and Hu Xian opened two regiments and after the defense line collapsed, it would be the limit for them to be able to survive for five days. However, the Japanese army never reached Pingcheng City.

.

Commander Zhang naturally had to contact the troops below to understand the situation, and the first person he contacted would definitely not be Zhao Zhiguo. After all, Zhao Zhiguo and his team did not have a radio or telephone on their position, and it would take a day to send communications troops back and forth.

So Commander Zhang called Lu Ziming's headquarters.

Of course, Lu Ziming knew that the position of Zhao Zhiguo's battalion played a role. Although he didn't know how Zhao Zhiguo managed to hold on with his troops for so long, one thing he knew very well was that he was able to block the Japanese attack this time and prevent the Japanese from taking Pingcheng.

A great achievement.

If this credit is taken into his own hands, Lu Ziming believes that he will definitely be able to achieve a qualitative leap in his military rank. If it works well, he is likely to leave the Northwest Army and become a member of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and will no longer have to serve in the army.

The front line has become cannon fodder.

After thinking about this, Lu Ziming decisively told Commander Zhang on the phone that it was he who led the troops to defend the county and blocked the Japanese attack. As long as he, Lu Ziming, was here, he would never let a little Japs pass.

Of course, what Lu Ziming said was correct. They did block the attack of a Japanese brigade, but this Japanese brigade launched a total of three decent attacks in these eleven days. Most of the rest of the time, the little devils were

Thinking about how to sneak attack.

If Zhao Zhiguo hadn't cut off the Japanese army's transportation and supply lines, and the Japanese army's artillery couldn't be transported, the Japs would have captured the county seat the next day.

The Japanese army without supplies didn't even dare to squander bullets, so how could they launch an attack on Lu Ziming and the others?

Lu Ziming avoided the important and took the easy. On the phone, he described himself as the biggest contributor. When Mr. Zhang asked if there was any news about Zhao Zhiguo, Lu Ziming decisively replied that there was no news about Zhao Zhiguo.

Anyway, Zhao Zhiguo was surrounded by Japs. Commander Zhang sent soldiers to contact him, but there was a high possibility that he would not be able to contact Zhao Zhiguo.

Even if the Japs retreat in the future and Zhao Zhiguo can survive, who would believe that Zhao Zhiguo can block the attack of thousands of Japanese troops with the strength of a battalion?

Whether it is the Jinsui Army, the Central Army or the Northwest Army, they have all seen the ferocity of the Japanese army. The strength of their two regiments cannot withstand the Japanese army's attack for three to five days. Zhao Zhiguo relied on one battalion to block the Japanese army's attack for more than ten days. Everyone

Everyone will think that Zhao Zhiguo is lying to gain credit.

Although Commander Zhang was happy that his troops had blocked the Japanese attack, he was still a little disappointed not to hear any news about Zhao Zhiguo.

Zhao Zhiguo had no time to think about credit, and he did not expect that Lu Ziming had already put all the credit that belonged to them into his own pocket.

In the next three days, Zhao Zhiguo arranged for soldiers to take the initiative to contact the division headquarters, but they were blocked by the Japanese army.

But these three days were not without good news, because during these three days, the Japanese army only launched an attack once a day on average, and the time of each attack was very short. It seemed that they were just to see if Zhao Zhiguo was still in the position, and then attack

Say hello and go back.

During these three days, the Japanese brigade commander also received frequent telegrams from the frontline troops. They had only one request, and that was that they needed supplies, not just ammunition, but also food. Their frontline troops had begun to run out of food.

The Japanese brigade commander admitted that their action plan failed simply because Zhao Zhiguo had firmly maintained control of the highway in their hands.

However, the Japanese brigade commanders were not depressed or decadent. At least they knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Chinese army during this attack.

If they want to capture Pingcheng, they can no longer blindly attack Zhao Zhiguo's defense area. They need another method, and this method must be fast, accurate and ruthless to capture Pingcheng before the Chinese army can react.

Once Pingcheng is lost, Zhao Zhiguo can defend the position for a year, but it will not be effective.
Chapter completed!
