Zhao Zhiguo and Chu Jie learned from the Japanese prisoners that the Japanese army's rear area was empty of troops. They both thought of a surprise attack on the Japanese army's rear area. Masao Murano would definitely lead his troops back to support and then ambush the Japanese army halfway.

An ambush can cause fewer casualties than a siege, and it is also easier to fight.

Of course, if the strategy is changed, Zhao Zhiguo and the others will take even greater risks! First of all, the time they have to hold on to Pingcheng will increase. Without a day or two, the troops they support cannot complete the task, so Zhao Zhiguo and the others must hold on to Pingcheng for an extra day or two.

Days of time, not to mention the casualties incurred, might fall at any time.

Secondly, if Masao Murano is stubborn, even if his rear is attacked by a sneak attack, he will still be stubborn and will pay no matter the price to take down Pingcheng. Then the method that Zhao Zhiguo and Chu Jie came up with is to dig their own graves with their own hands.

Risks and opportunities coexist, but when it comes to taking this risk with the lives of yourself and your brothers, no one will hesitate.

Zhao Zhiguo understood this truth, and Chu Jie, as one of the most capable division commanders of the Jinsui Army, also understood this truth.

"Division Commander, after tonight, reinforcements will arrive in two days. There are only two ways in front of us. One is to besiege Murano Masao, and the other is to attack the rear of the Japanese army, and then ambush the Japanese army while the Japanese army comes back for reinforcements.

"

Directly besieging Masao Murano would be more beneficial to Zhao Zhiguo and others, allowing the soldiers who guarded Pingcheng and fought bloody battles with the Japanese army to survive for seven days and nights.

If they attack the rear of the Japanese army, they will achieve more results and the supporting troops will suffer fewer casualties.

Two plans were placed in front of the division commander Chu Jie, and it was difficult for him to make a choice for a while.

"You are really not a good boy. You gave me a multiple-choice question. If I choose the wrong one, the remaining two thousand soldiers in Pingcheng will die."

Chu Jie was also anxious. As a division commander, he naturally wanted greater results, so that the troops could achieve greater results and the little Japanese would suffer greater losses.

But as a person, he also has selfish motives. Let alone guarding for two more days, Pingcheng may be lost for one more day, and he, the division commander, may also die in the melee.

Zhao Zhiguo slowly sat in front of Chu Jie, looked at the map spread on the table, as if he had not heard the teacher's words, then picked up a pen and drew a few lines on the map, and finally circled a circle.

Looking at the lines on the map, Chu Jie also knew that this was the best route for reinforcements to attack the Japanese rear and the best place to ambush the retreating Japanese troops.

"You're really crazy! Are you really not afraid of death?"

Chu Jie knew that Zhao Zhiguo had already made a choice by drawing these on the map.

"How could I not be afraid of death? Everyone is afraid of death. Isn't this the life of a soldier?"

"If two more days are added, there are still four days left. What do you want me to do to defend these four days? Do you know how many people are left after two divisions fought against the Japanese army? Don't I, Chu Jie, feel sorry for my brothers?

life?"

Is it worth it to exchange for a greater victory at the cost of nearly annihilating the entire army?

"Teacher, the scale is in your heart. You must know which one is more important." Zhao Zhiguo said calmly.

"I don't know!" Chu Jie roared, "I don't know anything. By leaving such an important choice to me, don't you just want to alleviate the guilt in your heart?"

Chu Jie was not really angry, he was struggling. He had never done such a difficult multiple-choice question. The lives of his brothers were all in his hands. His one choice could determine the life or death of thousands of people.

"We are an agricultural country and the Japs are an industrial country. This is an unequal war. If we want to win an industrial country, is there any better way besides using life pads? To fight this kind of war with the Japs, we

I've already taken advantage."

Every inch of mountains and rivers means every inch of blood. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This principle has not changed since ancient times.

Chu Jie's hands were trembling a little. Can he hold on for four days, four whole days?

Chu Jie didn't know how he walked to the phone by accident. When he picked up the phone, he put it down again.

"Commander, those two little Japanese prisoners of war are still alive. When the battle is over, you can bring this gift to the commander-in-chief." Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

When Chu Jie turned his head and looked at Zhao Zhiguo's smile, there were already tears in his eyes: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have incorporated your boy into our division. I regret it!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Jie picked up the phone and called Yan Laoxi's office directly: "Take the call from the Commander-in-Chief's office."

"Commander-in-Chief? I have prepared two gifts for you. What gifts? Three of the living little devils were originally captured. In order to interrogate the information, one was driven crazy. However, we got an important piece of information. The Japanese army

The back is empty.”

Chu Jie reported his and Zhao Zhiguo's ideas to Yan Laoxi little by little.

"We will defend Pingcheng as long as the commander-in-chief asks us to, and we will never give up Pingcheng!" Chu Jie replied.

Soon the call was hung up, and Chu Jie refused to put down the phone in his hand.

Zhao Zhiguo looked at Chu Jie expectantly: "What did the commander-in-chief say?"

"He will convene senior staff to discuss our plan. Once a decision is made, the troops supporting us will immediately change the direction of march." Chu Jie sighed, "Are you satisfied this time?"

"I am not satisfied or dissatisfied. In fact, I am still looking forward to the commander-in-chief promising you on the phone that he will send us more troops, even a regiment."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll ask him for it now!"

Chu Jie was so confused just now that he didn't think about this at all, and immediately wanted to call back.

Zhao Zhiguo came over and pressed the phone gently: "Teacher, there are some things that you personally want to give to him are two different things."

"Then I can't risk the whole army being annihilated, right?" Chu Jie took Zhao Zhiguo's hand away anxiously.

Then Zhao Zhiguo grabbed the phone tightly: "He is the commander-in-chief. Some things are more detailed than we thought. If he really cares about the troops in Pingcheng, do you think he will not consider whether Pingcheng can hold on for two more days?"

?”

After hearing Zhao Zhiguo's words, Chu Jie slowly put down the phone.

"Damn it, you kid even pretended to be me, causing me to waste so much emotion that I almost cried."

Chu Jie just remembered that she almost didn’t know what to do.

"It's hard to say whether there will be reinforcements, but we still have to be prepared for the absence of reinforcements. After all, the battlefield situation is changeable." Zhao Zhiguo said with a smile.

"You are really capable. You performed a cruel trick on me. But with those two Japanese prisoners of war, the probability of us getting reinforcements is at least 80%." Chu Jie said, "Send one more regiment of reinforcements, and the remaining two

God, we can keep it no matter what."
