Chi Zishen was not happy because of his achievements, because there were also two Japanese liaison personnel in Xingxian County.

If Yao Pengju had caught these two Japanese soldiers, it is estimated that the Xing County Security Brigade would end up like the Hui County Security Brigade.

However, Chizi Shen is indeed smarter than Shi Kaicheng in some aspects. He can adapt to the changing circumstances better than Shi Kaicheng.

"Chief of Staff Yao, we will arrange the food for you and your soldiers. I wonder if you can rest assured." Chi Zishen said.

"I'm not afraid of you poisoning me. Brigadier Chi must be most afraid of problems with me and my subordinates now, right?"

Yao Pengju was not worried at all that he would be poisoned by Chi Zishen. Once Yao Pengju was killed, Chi Zishen would die without a burial place.

"I'll let someone make arrangements right now."

Chi Zishen found an excuse to leave, and then he immediately arranged for his subordinates to kill the liaison personnel of the two little devils and destroy the corpses and traces.

The Xingxian Security Brigade agreed to provide access to the First Military Division and disposed of the Japanese corpses in Xingxian.

Zhao Zhiguo's deployment then began to unfold on the west bank of the Yuntuo River.

Commander Qi's troops took over the territory of Huixian County, and Qin Dongsheng led the Second Brigade to borrow the road from Xingxian County and penetrate directly into the Yuntuo River, cutting off all roads west of the Yuntuo River.

At the same time, the troops of the other four main brigades advanced steadily, cutting off all connections between the county town and outside the county town.

While the troops of the First Military Division were making detours, Gangcun also learned that Huixian County had been completely taken over by Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

Gangcun immediately ordered the plane to take off to detect the movements of Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

Two hours later, the reconnaissance plane returned the news that Zhao Zhiguo's troops were mobilizing on a large scale, and there was another troop crossing the Yuntuo River line.

Gangcun was shocked when he received the news.

He knew very well that once Zhao Zhiguo's troops successfully penetrated and cut off the road on the Yuntuo River, the Japanese troops west of the Yuntuo River would be unable to receive any supplies.

"Immediately send a telegram to the troops west of the Yuntuo River. The troops must abandon all county towns and fully retreat. They must withdraw to the east of the Yuntuo River within five hours."

Before this, Gangcun was still hesitating whether to use various counties as strongholds to consume the main force of the First Military Division.

When the main force of the First Army Division was exhausted, the last mobile force in Zaigangcun's hands launched a counterattack against Zhao Zhiguo.

However, Zhao Zhiguo did not go as Gangcun expected at all.

Zhao Zhiguo was making a detour, outflanking, and besieging.

As long as the Japanese army is trapped and unable to obtain supplies, they will find a way to break out. At that time, the Japanese army on the west bank of the Yuntuo River will fall into a completely passive situation.

As Zhao Zhiguo's intentions were revealed, Gangcun realized that he had made the wrong decision.

"Where did Zhao Zhiguo learn this style of fighting? Why have we never seen the current offensive tactics on the battlefield before?" Gangcun was very shocked.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Zhao Zhiguo's roundabout force is the key. We should send troops to directly block or ambush this roundabout force."

Japanese reconnaissance planes were still monitoring the march route of the Second Brigade at all times.

At this time, the Japanese army only needed to set up an ambush on the Second Brigade's circuitous route to thwart Zhao Zhiguo's plan.

Troops that are weaving in a roundabout way are indeed easily blocked when discovered.

Gangcun immediately ordered to mobilize a regiment of mobile troops to set up an ambush on the road to the Second Brigade to buy time for the Japanese troops west of the Yuntuo River to retreat.

Qin Dongsheng and the others also discovered that Japanese reconnaissance planes were constantly circling above their heads.

He also did not expect that Japanese reconnaissance opportunities would discover their actions so quickly.

If the troops continue to march, there will probably be Japanese troops waiting for them ahead.

Once they break into the Japanese ambush, the troops will not only be unable to complete the mission of insertion, but may also suffer heavy losses.

"Brigadier, what should we do now?"

"Send power to the headquarters and tell the commander that our troops have been discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes. I'm afraid the purpose of the interlude has been exposed. Ask if we want to continue the operation."

It was also the first time that Qin Dongsheng led his troops to march to the rear of the Japanese army. The unexpected situation made him hesitate.

Zhao Zhiguo was waiting for news from various units in the headquarters. Unexpectedly, the second brigade was the first to receive news.

"The Second Brigade encountered trouble. Japanese reconnaissance planes discovered their traces. The little devils were so lucky. I didn't expect that we could be detected by the Japanese even from Xingxian County," Tian Kezhi said.

"Tell Qin Dongsheng to send a force directly across the Yuntuo River and march along the east bank of the Yuntuo River. If they encounter Japanese troops, the troops marching on the east bank will cross the river again, go around behind the ambush team, and attack the Japanese ambush team."

This time, Zhao Zhiguo and the others carried out the operation at dawn.

The Japanese reconnaissance planes were lucky and it was not surprising that they discovered their crossing.

However, the Japanese army certainly did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo's troops would dare to cross the Yuntuo River boldly.

After receiving the order, Qin Dongsheng immediately sent people to reconnoitre the Yuntuo River, arranged a battalion of troops to forcefully cross the Yuntuo River, and arranged a company's vanguard troops to explore the road ahead.

At this time, after receiving the order from Gangcun, the Japanese troops west of the Yuntuo River gathered their troops like crazy and swarmed onto the road.

Cao Xinghua led the special agent battalion to attack everywhere. However, the special agent battalion had too few troops and could only attack the Japanese army and slow down the retreat of the Japanese army, but could not completely stop the Japanese army.

"Report, news from the special agent camp, the Japanese army west of the Yuntuo River has abandoned a large amount of combat materials and is retreating at full speed." The signal corps reported.

In order to speed up their retreat, the Japanese army only carried necessary combat supplies and abandoned all other supplies.

If Zhao Zhiguo and the others had planes at this time and dropped bombs on the retreating Japanese troops, they would definitely cause heavy losses to the Japanese troops.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zhiguo and the others only had infantry advancing forward. After learning that the Japanese army had retreated, the brigades also accelerated their pursuit eastward.

However, no matter how fast the little devil ran, even though the main troops of each brigade had speeded up, when they arrived near the county seat, they only saw the mess on the ground.

"Second order, all troops are not allowed to rest and continue to pursue eastward. No troops are allowed to stop until they reach the Yuntuo River." Gao Cang gave the order directly.

The troops pursued him from dawn to sunset, but no one stopped. Even if there was an ambush ahead, they would continue to pursue him.

As long as some Japanese troops are entangled, some more Japanese troops can be eliminated.

As expected, the leading troops of the Second Brigade encountered an ambush by the Japanese army. Qin Dongsheng ordered one regiment to attack the Japanese army, while the other regiment directly bypassed the fighting area and continued its rapid march.

Hearing the sound of gunfire, a battalion marching east of the Yuntuo River forcibly swam across the river in the dark and launched an attack directly on the Japanese army from behind.
