"Can't you just pretend to be confused for a while? Let me show off?" Gao Cang didn't expect that Zhao Zhiguo guessed what he was drawing right away.

In fact, Gao Cang thought very simply. Since Zhao Zhiguo took over the command, Zhao Zhiguo has done everything himself. He also saw how tired Zhao Zhiguo was, so he has been thinking of sharing some work for Zhao Zhiguo.

But Zhao Zhiguo always wanted to be ahead of him in everything. Whenever he wanted to help, Zhao Zhiguo had already completed all the work that needed to be done.

This time, he finally had the opportunity. While Zhao Zhiguo was asleep, he accomplished such an important thing by himself. Naturally, he needed a little praise to satisfy his tiny vanity.

"Okay, okay, let's do it again!" Zhao Zhiguo saw Gao Cang's little thoughts.

"Tch, I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't do the exercises here to coax me to play. Let's see if it works." Gao Cang smiled disdainfully at Zhao Zhiguo.

Zhao Zhiguo also shook his head speechlessly: "You haven't said where the map came from."

"While you were sleeping, I went out to do some reconnaissance on your behalf. You were unlucky and met the Japs. I seemed to be lucky. I met the common people who were driven out of Gao Town by the Japs." Gao Cang said.

"The drawings are good, even better than those drawn by some staff members at the division headquarters." Zhao Zhiguo still thought of a way to praise Gao Cang.

"Of course, after all, I am also a member of the divisional security company, one who follows the division commander." Hearing Zhao Zhiguo's praise, Gao Cang became less modest. "Look, this is the Gao Family Courtyard. It was built to guard against bandits.

, the courtyard wall is built like a city wall."

After showing off himself, Gao Cang seriously introduced the map to Zhao Zhiguo.

"There is a cliff on the back of the Gao Family Courtyard? How high is the cliff? What is under the cliff?" Zhao Zhiguo asked continuously.

Gao Cang was suddenly at a loss for words and couldn't answer any questions.

"It's okay. This information is pretty good. We'll do some reconnaissance on the rest." Zhao Zhiguo comforted Gao Cang.

"No, the old man hasn't left, he's still here."

Gao Cang was glad that he left the old man behind.

In fact, this cannot be blamed on Gao Cang. After all, the tactics and tactics of the special forces possessed by Zhao Zhiguo are rarely seen in this era.

Without the same ideas and tactics as Zhao Zhiguo, it would be impossible to achieve what Zhao Zhiguo wants in great detail.

The old man was quickly invited over by Gao Cang.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again, old man." Zhao Zhiguo said politely.

"No trouble...no trouble...it is our duty as Chinese people to resist the Japanese and fight the Japanese."

As the old man gets older, he sees his country destroyed and his family destroyed, and a group of robbers break into his home. This is his greatest misfortune.

"Old man, let me ask you, is there a cliff behind the Gao Family Courtyard? What is under the cliff?"

The old man nodded: "Behind the Gao Family Courtyard is a cliff. There used to be a crop field under the cliff. In recent years, there has been a war and chaos, and no one is planting crops anymore. It is all deserted."

"A bare patch?"

If the bottom of the cliff is bare, that's not good news.

The old man shook his head: "After no one planted crops on that land, no one took care of it. It all grew into grass. In the summer, the grass was taller than people. Even if the grass withered, it was still a thick patch."

"How high is the cliff?" Zhao Zhiguo continued to ask.

"It's four to five feet tall."

"Is there a path or something else on the cliff, such as a ladder, that can be used to climb up the cliff?"

Zhao Zhiguo's affairs are very detailed. If there is a road on the cliff and the little devil finds it, he will definitely send troops to guard it.

"There is indeed a road. I climbed on it when I was a child," the old man recalled carefully. "But after the trade road was destroyed, the Gao family compound was also idle. No one repaired the road. The road was eroded by wind and rain. I'm afraid part of it

It’s no longer possible to pass others.”

The old man recalled it carefully and then told Zhao Zhiguo the location of the road.

According to the old man, the road was very hidden and they discovered it accidentally when they were playing in the wild when they were children.

"Thank you, old man. I'll ask you again if you remember anything."

After Zhao Zhiguo expressed his gratitude, he was sent to send the old man to rest.

"How do you know there must be a road on the cliff?" Gao Cang asked Zhao Zhiguo quickly after seeing the old man leaving.

"It's very simple. The Gao Family Courtyard is used by merchants to guard against bandits and rebels." Zhao Zhiguo didn't take his eyes off the map.

"What's the connection?"

"You also said that there is only one main road leading to the Gao family compound."

"Yes, this is absolutely certain." Gao Cang was full of confidence.

"Then there is a question. If you are a businessman, are you willing to be blocked?"

"Of course I don't want to..."

Not wanting to say it just now, Gao Cang immediately figured it out.

Zhao Zhiguo looked at Gao Cang and smiled: "Businessmen are very smart, no one would have thought that they would have a secret passage on the cliff."

"This way, even if the way ahead is blocked, they can still leave through the secret passage." Gao Cang suddenly realized, "You are too smart, why didn't I think of it."

"It's very simple, think of yourself as the other person, and then think from the other person's perspective."

"Then what should we do next?" Gao Cang asked.

"No matter how detailed this map is, as commanders, we still have to go to the scene."

No matter how precise the map is, it will definitely be different from reality.

In fact, what Zhao Zhiguo is more worried about is the wasteland below the cliff. If the little Japanese commander is a suspicious person and orders a fire to burn the wasteland, then there will be nothing to provide cover for Zhao Zhiguo and the others.

"How about you take a good rest tonight and I'll take people to conduct reconnaissance." Gao Cang suggested.

"All of us are going to Gao Town tonight. If the operation goes well, we will take action tonight."

Zhao Zhiguo and the others did not have much time. If they were delayed for one more day, the Chinese troops would suffer more casualties.

"I'll make arrangements now." Gao Cang said.

"Wait a minute, there are things to do before departure. You ask the soldiers to find some rope nearby. The longer the better, the more the better."

Since the Japanese army has set up its headquarters in Gaozhen, it will naturally have heavy defense. If they attack from the front, Zhao Zhiguo's number of people will not be enough for the Japs to kill him.

In a place like Gaozhen, it is impossible to launch a strong attack from the front without heavy artillery.

After preparing everything, Zhao Zhiguo and the others set out for Gao Town under the cover of moonlight.

Along the way they avoided several Japanese patrols.

Under the guidance of the old man, they soon arrived at the cliff below the Gao family compound.

The grass was thicker than Zhao Zhiguo imagined. It seemed that the land had been barren for a long time, all caused by war and banditry.

"It seems that the little devil doesn't have much defense against this direction." Gao Cang said.

They, a small group of only a hundred people, were lying in the wasteland to hide themselves, and they could not be noticed even in the daytime when the sun was shining brightly.
