In the headquarters of the First Army Division, Zhao Zhiguo, who had been depressed for more than two days, wanted to cheer.

Although Heyun County has not yet been recaptured, we finally see the light of day.

The big stone weighing on Zhao Zhiguo's heart was finally lifted at this moment.

When he received the telegram and learned that Gao Cang had divided and surrounded the Japanese troops in Heyun County, Zhao Zhiguo already knew that the Japanese rule in Heyun County was gradually coming to an end.

As long as the troops of the First Military Division gain a firm foothold in Heyun County, they can lead the battle to enemy-occupied areas.

When the fighting broke out in the Japanese war zone, the defense zone of the First Military Division could concentrate on producing military supplies and provide a steady stream of follow-up force for the troops of the First Military Division.

"Commander, the outcome of the battle in Heyun County will be decided soon. Why haven't you slept for two days and two nights? You'd better go and get some sleep."

The war on the front line was intense, and Zhao Zhiguo was more anxious than anyone else.

"No, I can still hold on. Now is the time when our troops are encircling and annihilating the little devils. How can I sleep at this time?"

The Japanese troops in Heyun County were at the end of their rope.

Even though the Japanese army has aircraft to provide supplies to the Japanese army, as the troops of the First Military Division control more areas in Heyun County, most of the airdrops will fall into the hands of the Chinese army.

The Japanese radio stations were concentrated in Naoya Ezaka's headquarters, and the scattered Japanese units were no longer able to provide ground guidance to Japanese transport aircraft.

"Report, Brigadier Zhu telegraphed that the Japanese troops from the periphery have returned for reinforcements, there are Japanese troops stationed on the east bank of the Hutuo River, and they are retreating!" the signal corps reported.

The goal of the Fourth Brigade was to lure away the two Japanese regiments outside Heyun County in order to reduce the pressure on the troops besieging Heyun County.

"All the mobile forces in Gangcun's hands have been transferred away from Heyun County by us. It is definitely a foolproof thing for us to capture Heyun County this time." Yao Pengju said.

Gangcun no longer has any extra troops to support Heyun County, and the Japanese army in the city has become a dead end.

"Don't forget, air control has always been in the hands of the Japanese army." Zhao Zhiguo said.

The First Military Division, and even China, lacked weapons to counter Japanese air power.

"Is it possible that Gangcun will really order all the Japs in Heyun County to be blown up together?" Yao Peng asked.

"It's not like the little Japanese have never done this kind of thing before!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "We can't bet our lives on whether Gangcun will be bombed."

Leave your destiny to the enemy to decide, and ensure that your head will move at any time.

"What should we do? Our army is still concentrating on fighting the Japanese army for the houses and streets in the city. If Gangcun orders indiscriminate bombing, won't our soldiers be buried with the Japanese army?"

In Heyun County, the number of Chinese soldiers has exceeded that of the Japanese army.

If Gangcun insists on turning Heyun County into ruins and using countless tons of bombs to wipe Heyun County off the map, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will not be able to stop him.

"First find a way to transfer the people in Heyun County!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "Slow down the final encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army. We have to let Gangcun know that we cannot eat up Heyun County in one bite in a short time."

The slower the battle in Heyun County progresses, the more Gangcun will believe that there is still hope of saving Heyun County.

As long as there is hope for Heyun County, Gangcun will not destroy Heyun County.

After settling all the worries in Heyun County, we will eat up all the remaining little devils in Heyun County.

"I'm going to send a telegram to Lao Gao right now."

Yao Pengju also realized that if the problems in Heyun County were solved too quickly, the little Japanese would jump over the wall.

Gangcun, an old Japanese soldier, never felt sorry for Japanese soldiers. As a commander, his subordinates were all tools of war and could be sacrificed at will.

Gao Cang originally wanted to eat up all the Japanese troops in Heyun County in one go. He hoped that tomorrow morning, the troops of the First Brigade would be able to march neatly and enter Heyun County in a dignified manner.

But after receiving Zhao Zhiguo's telegram, Gao Cang began to hesitate.

Many poor people in Heyun County have died in this battle.

Although they came into contact with most of the weapons deployed by the Japanese army in Heyun County, Gangcun always had an air force in his hands that was unmatched by the First Army Division.

"What happened to the brigade commander? Why did he suddenly give the order to stop the attack?"

The Chinese soldiers, who had been holding back their anger for two or three days, now had strong morale and were extremely brave in the street fighting. They defeated the Japanese army in succession.

At this moment, Gao Cang suddenly ordered all troops to stop attacking and garrison in place.

The two main regiment commanders of the first brigade did not understand why they did this and ran to the headquarters to ask Gao Cang.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Just ask what's wrong and you won't use your brains. Have you forgotten how the Japanese planes bombed our troops in the past two days?"

In order to attack the effective forces of the First Army Division, the Japanese army used aerial bombs and white phosphorus bombs to attack.

If Gangcun ordered a large number of white phosphorus bombs to be used in Heyun County, Heyun County would turn into a sea of ​​fire and become a real hell on earth.

The Japanese and puppet troops in the city, as well as the troops of the First Brigade and countless civilians, will all be killed in this fire.

A county town is likely to exist only in the local county annals or word of mouth among local people because of this attack.

"Brigadier, if we don't fight, the Japs will throw bombs at us, right?" the regiment leader said.

Gangcun insisted on bombing, he didn't care how many little Japs were alive in Heyun County.

What the Japanese army wanted was death, not survival.

What the Chinese army wants is survival, not death.

What the Japanese army didn't care about was exactly what the First Army Division cared about.

Therefore, the troops in the First Military Division cannot use barefoot tactics to deal with the little devils.

"Commander's order!" Gao Cang shouted.

Upon hearing the order from Zhao Zhiguo, the two regiment leaders immediately stood at attention.

"The commander ordered us to first move the people and property in the city, and then use the tunnels dug in Heyun County as air defense facilities."

Although part of the tunnels has been destroyed in the explosion, there are still many tunnels available.

If bombed by Japanese aircraft, these tunnels will provide good bunkers for soldiers to avoid more casualties.

"Brigadier, we'll do it right away!"

"Wait, why are you so anxious? Is there still a threat from the Japanese troops in the direction of the arsenal?" Gao Cang asked.

"The Japanese troops have retreated, and there are no large-scale Japanese troops in the direction of the arsenal."

After the attacking troops opened the road to the arsenal, the Japanese troops retreated on their own initiative, and the arsenal became very safe.

"Transport the weapons and equipment, ammunition, clothing, equipment, etc. in the arsenal out of the city. Don't wait to be bombed by Japanese planes and then feel pity."

There was a large amount of Japanese military supplies in the arsenal, which was destroyed by the Japanese bombing, which was a huge loss.
