"Sir, my brothers and I don't want to run away anymore. If Pingcheng is really a tomb, I hope there will be a place for me here."

Zhao Zhiguo is not afraid of the threat from the chief of staff at all.

"Zhao Zhiguo, I also tell you clearly that the purpose of bringing my troops here is for Pingcheng. If I really didn't care about anything, I would have withdrawn with my troops the moment Pingcheng fell."

Chu Jie is also a dignified Chinese seven-foot man. He also has self-respect in his heart and knows what humiliation is. The little devil has ridden on their heads for many years and he also wants to lead the army to kill the thieves.

"If I didn't want to defend Pingcheng, you, Zhao Zhiguo, wouldn't be in my headquarters now."

Chu Jie brought the justice of the family and the country back to the most practical issue, that is, he was really thinking about a solution to the problem.

There is something wrong with China. If there had been no problem, they would not have been bullied by a small island country for so many years, from the humiliation of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to now.

"The city wall can be defended, but it is not the focus of defense! If the Japanese army breaks through the city wall, they will inevitably break into the city and tremble with our troops. At this time, the Japanese artillery will not dare to fire anymore because they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people."

"You mean, we are fighting in the street with the little devils?" Chu Jie also understood what Zhao Zhiguo meant.

"Every house and every street is guarded. The doors of adjacent houses are blocked, and the walls are opened for one person to pass through! Shooting holes are drilled in the walls. In this way, the distance between the Japanese army and us is only one wall, and the Japanese cannons can

I don’t have enough strength.”

In the absence of permanent and semi-permanent fortifications, the best way to avoid damage from the Japanese artillery fire is to bring the Japanese troops in so that the little devils have something to fear when they fire.

"What if the Japanese army wants to retreat and then launch an artillery strike?"

"The Japanese army retreated one step, and we took another step forward. If they wanted to take back the streets or houses again, they would have to pay a heavier price, so that they would not retreat easily, and then we would stick to them."

Only in this way can the troops guarding Pingcheng reduce casualties, block the Japanese army as much as possible, and delay time.

"If we really have reinforcements, even two divisions of reinforcements, when they arrive on the battlefield, we will be like a magnet, firmly attracting the main force of the Japanese army in the city, and the reinforcements can circle back and cut off the retreat of the little devils.

and supply lines.”

As long as the Japanese army's retreat is cut off, the Japanese army will retreat without a fight.

"Chief of Staff, re-formulate the battle plan and use one battalion and one company to guard the east wall of the city. The rest of the troops will do as Zhao Zhiguo said and be deployed in the city. All the residents in the east of the city will be moved to the west of the city."

Chu Jie began to order adjustments to combat deployment.

"To tell you the truth, within five days, our reinforcements will not arrive, and the troops in Jinyang area cannot move. What do you mean, we can only mobilize troops from the rear." Chu Jie explained to Zhao Zhiguo.

Chu Jie and the others have received an order from the Commander-in-Chief, and Pingcheng must hold on for seven days.

The troops outside the city can buy them three days at most, but they have to hold on for at least four days inside the city. According to Zhao Zhiguo, it is too difficult for two divisions that have lost more than half to hold on to the city wall for four days. Even if they can hold on, these two

How many men are left in a division? A company?

The general's mercy is to bring more soldiers back to his hometown after surviving the battlefield. When he saw the soldiers falling one by one, Chu Jie also knew that they were not cold numbers and symbols, they were flesh and blood.

Although the Jinyang area is very close to Pingcheng, the number of troops that can be mobilized is limited, which is a drop in the bucket! If too many troops are mobilized, once the Japanese army raids Jinyang, Pingcheng will not be lost, but Jinyang will be lost, and the Jinsui Army will be captured by the little devils.

His hometown has been stolen, and Yan Laoxi will have to run away by then.

"Hand grenades are the only weapon that can bridge the gap between us and the Japanese army!" Zhao Zhiguo reminded.

If there is a rocket launcher, Zhao Zhiguo certainly recommends that each squad be equipped with a rocket launcher. This is a sharp weapon in urban street fighting and is easier to use than any other cannon. But it is not available now.

"Each soldier should have at least two grenades." Chu Jie listened to Zhao Zhiguo's words, issued the order, and then said to Zhao Zhiguo, "Until new orders are issued, you will stay in my headquarters."

"Ah? Division commander, isn't this bad? I am the leader of a main force group, not a staff officer."

"From now on, you will be the staff officer. I have many rooms here. You can choose any one. You will be on call 24 hours a day. You must be on call at any time."

Under Chu Jie's order, Zhao Zhiguo had no choice but to live in prison again, as if he had a special fate with this prison.

Of course, he also has a special fate with another person, and this person is Sun Siying.

"Uncle Chu!"

Zhao Zhiguo was just about to choose a suitable "room". When he walked to the door, a girl came towards him and bumped into Zhao Zhiguo's arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Zhao Zhiguo did not see the person coming clearly and apologized quickly.

"Is it you?"

Sun Siying rubbed her painful forehead. When she saw Zhao Zhiguo, she didn't feel the pain anymore and everything was fine.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Zhiguo was also curious as to how a female student could come to the division headquarters.

"Hey hey hey, are we particularly destined?" Sun Siying tilted her head and looked at Zhao Zhiguo, her ponytails still trembling.

"Um...I still have something to do!" Zhao Zhiguo made an excuse to leave.

"Wait, you don't want to talk to me that much?" Sun Siying bulged her mouth and her eyes were as wide as bells, "Are you Uncle Chu's subordinate?"

"Uncle Chu? Who is Uncle Chu?"

"Siying is here? Come in!" Chu Jie saw Sun Siying at the door confronting Zhao Zhiguo.

However, Sun Siying seemed not to have heard Chu Jie's words, and still stood in front of Zhao Zhiguo, blocking Zhao Zhiguo's way: "Let me ask you a question, do you really not want to talk to me?"

"Miss Sun, you are beautiful, generous, lively and cute. Everyone likes to talk to you, but there is always an exception, right? Just like some people like to eat grapes, and some people like to eat apples. You can't force everyone to like to eat grapes.

Or should we all like to eat apples?"

Sun Siying was quite happy to hear the previous words. Zhao Zhiguo actually praised her, and she was a little embarrassed. But the more she listened to it, the more something was wrong.

"You don't like me?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just like to be quiet."

The war has already surrounded Zhao Zhiguo, who is extremely troubled. Although he is only in his twenties, he now wants to find a secluded hilltop where the war is over, where he can go to a monk, eat fast and chant Buddha's name without being disturbed, and live in peace for the rest of his life.
