When the troops of the First Army Division began to mobilize to the front, Japanese reconnaissance planes also began to visit frequently.

Forward air observation posts could often observe Japanese aircraft flying overhead.

"The little devils really spent a lot of money. In one morning, each unit reported five Japanese reconnaissance aircraft sorties. These were just observations. I don't know how many there were that were not observed." Matthew said.

Although they took the initiative to disclose the information to the Japanese army, the First Army Division still strictly enforced the marching methods of their troops.

Hiding during the day, troops marching at night, and logistics transporting supplies to the front line.

"We have to properly reveal some real information to the Japs. Only in this way will Gangcun believe more and more in the information Sun Youcai provided them." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The current intelligence Zhao Zhiguo revealed to Gangcun is that they will attack Heyun County next.

In fact, from the very beginning of their planning, they had no intention of attacking Heyun County first.

"Unfortunately, we have no movement of the Japanese rear troops now!"

Zhao Zhiguo and the others lacked a pair of eyes that could keep an eye on every move of the Japanese army behind enemy lines.

"Anyone who can get the right time, place, and people together will fight," Matthew said.

War is due to many uncertainties, which makes it impossible to control the success or failure of the war.

"That's what you say, but we must do everything we can to get the right time, place, and people together." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Inform the reconnaissance battalion and ask them to leave one company on standby, and send the rest of the troops behind enemy lines for reconnaissance.

Movements of Japanese rear troops."

If they could figure out the movement of Japanese reinforcements, why didn't they do so?

Scouts are the eyes of their troops. Although each regiment has its own scouts, the more manpower there is behind enemy lines, the more capable it is of finding the lifeblood of the Japanese army for each unit.

"Qin Weitong, are you still adapting to the headquarters?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

Zhao Zhiguo is not too busy now, but when the fight starts, he has no time to care about anyone in the headquarters.

"Fortunately, I just can't help in many places, I can only watch."

Qin Weitong did not do any staff work. He just helped Yao Pengju to provide as much detail as possible about the streets and houses in Heyun County.

"Our main force may need guides when entering the city to fight." Zhao Zhiguo said, "Can your people help?"

The soldiers were not familiar with every street and house in the city.

"Maybe after the fighting starts, they will find a way to get closer to our troops." Qin Weitong said.

"Are there any reliable puppet troops in the city?" Zhao Zhiguo asked.

"There are probably two battalions of Japanese troops who want to move closer to us, but after our troops enter Heyun County, I have to contact them personally."

The puppet army's sense of trust is already very weak.

In Heyun County, they only believed in Qin Weitong.

If someone else tried to persuade them to lay down their arms and surrender, the puppet troops would probably think that they were deliberately deceiving them.

"After our troops take control of the Japanese military camp and arsenal, I will send you back to Heyun County," Zhao Zhiguo said.

There are still many deployments in Heyun County, and Qin Weitong needs to go back and take command in person.

In two days, Zhao Zhiguo's troops completed their assembly and moved to the front line.

On the third night, two regiments were transferred from the third and fifth brigades and strengthened to the first brigade. They were both the absolute main force and were responsible for the final siege of Heyun County.

Qin Dongsheng's second brigade and Zhu Hao's third brigade each detached two battalions of troops and moved back.

The cavalry and armored units also began to move east of Heyun County to prepare for the retreat of interspersed troops.

Zhao Zhiguo released the bait, but he would not let the Japanese eat the bait. The cavalry and armored units had high mobility and could provide support as much as possible on the way back.

Even if they do not provide support, once the Japanese army is surrounded, they can still join the battlefield and win a quick victory.

The heavy artillery regiment was also deployed on the front, aiming at the city wall fortifications of Heyun County.

The city wall of Heyun County is incomplete and has holes everywhere.

In order to better control Heyun County, the Japanese army built bunkers and artillery towers at various openings. One was to strengthen the sealing ability of Heyun County, and the other was to provide more firepower output points for the walls of Heyun County.

Although Zhao Zhiguo's first round target was not Heyun County, they had to launch an attack on Heyun County.

Underground, the engineering troops were digging toward Heyun County according to the route planned by Yao Pengju and Qin Weitong.

On the ground, at dawn, the battle begins!

The rumble of artillery shells woke up the sleeping people in Heyun County, the puppet troops, the Japanese army, and the innocent people. When they heard the sound of the cannons, they all knew that Zhao Zhiguo's troops were coming.

The Japanese soldiers are looking forward to it, the puppet soldiers are nervous, the Chinese people are making wishes, and the people who have become the lackeys of the Japanese army are trembling.

Some people who were the lackeys of the Japanese army were already collecting gold and silver, and were ready to flee Heyun County in the chaos.

Cannon, a weapon for attacking fortified areas.

Especially heavy artillery. When the shells explode, everything around them is destroyed.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the bunkers and gun towers were afraid because these shells were aimed at them.

The Japanese soldiers moved to the underground level. If the artillery shells directly hit their fortifications, the buildings on the surface would be wiped out.

The little devil didn't want to become a wisp of smoke on the battlefield before he saw China.

However, Zhu Hongsi's heavy artillery was specially prepared for the little devils.

The artillery of the heavy artillery regiment is not used for fire coverage, they carry out precise strikes.

The shells landed in the same place again and again, and the bunkers and gun towers built by the Japs soon turned into ruins.

"It's been fifteen minutes, it's time to retreat!"

Zhu Hongsi is holding on to time!

The artillery regiment was exposed in the wild, and Japanese bombers would soon attack them.

There is only one heavy artillery regiment in the First Army Division. They cannot be lost on the battlefield like this, so they must evacuate the battlefield in time, move to the rear, and then hide.

After the bombardment ended, various troops began to launch a tentative attack in the direction of Heyun County.

The firepower deployed by the Japanese army was to kill more Chinese soldiers, and the Japs began to fight back.

Bullets, countless bullets, like rapid summer raindrops.

After the heavy artillery regiment attacked the gap in the city wall, there was no longer such fierce firepower, and the Japanese army even began to fill the gap in the city wall with sandbags, hoping to use the sandbags as bunkers.

"Mortar, blow up the little devils in the gaps in the city wall for me!"

Each company has its own machine gun platoon, which can call in mortars at any time to provide fire support, and can even carry out precise strikes against the Japanese army.

The sandbags at the gap were killed in the artillery fire together with the Japanese troops.

The soldiers immediately charged against the city wall.

The city wall of Heyun County was originally incomplete. After losing some firepower points in the gaps in the city wall, the firepower deployed by the Japanese army at the city wall was weakened a lot.
Chapter completed!
