Chapter 777: The Root of the Army

The total strength of Zhao Zhiguo's troops was only 2,000. They used a regiment of troops, infantry and artillery, and now they also needed to use reconnaissance aircraft and transport aircraft.

If the Japanese Army Staff received this request from Tsutani Kazuo, the first thing they would think of would not be the tragic battle situation on the front line, but the commander's poor command, which would lead to an increase in their needs.

The top brass of the Japanese army would definitely not help, but would remove Tsutani Kazuo.

The little devils don't care that changing generals on the battlefield is a taboo for military strategists. They only think that the commander is incompetent.

Tsutani Kazuo is well versed in the internal affairs of the Japanese army. The Japanese army is sometimes more harsh on their own people than on their enemies. If he asks transport planes to airdrop supplies to them, what awaits him will definitely not be an order to supply, but the next captain to take office.

The order came to Anyang Town.

Kawazuki Chi doesn't understand Tsutani Kazuo's little thoughts, and now he can only follow Tsutani Kazuo's arrangements.

"Let the artillery troops take up arms and be responsible for guarding the town to prevent the Chinese army from counterattacking nearby. Two squadrons of troops will protect our logistics troops, and the rest of the troops will be ready to enter the mountains."

Tsutani Kazuo couldn't care so much anymore. He couldn't ask for support, otherwise his black hat would be at stake.

In fact, Tsugu Kazuo just wanted to take a gamble that Zhao Zhiguo no longer had the ability to take back Anyang Town from them unless they voluntarily gave up Anyang Town.

Before Zhao Zhiguo was wiped out, the Japanese army would not easily give up Anyang Town, which they had worked so hard to capture.

Therefore, there is not much risk in using a small number of soldiers, even artillery with incompetent combat capabilities, to defend Anyang Town.

After Zhao Zhiguo and the others evacuated, they almost rested every five steps and stopped every ten steps.

There was nothing they could do about it. More than half of their wounded were injured, and there were two seriously injured people on the road who had not made it through. The soldiers had to bury them on the spot.

"Captain, it's already noon, let's have something to eat."

Qin Dongsheng took out a steamed bun from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zhiguo. In the cold weather, the steamed bun had cracked and was so hard that it was bulletproof.

They can only take a small bite and chew it slowly in their mouths.

"Have people been sent out?"

"We have been dispatched. If Gao Cang has some conscience and speeds up, he will be able to meet us this evening."

As long as their wounded are settled, everything else will be fine.

"I don't know if Yao Pengju and the others suffered any losses, hey..." Zhao Zhiguo let out a long sigh.

"Old Yao is a loach. The Japanese army can't even catch us, let alone him."

Qin Dongsheng admired Yao Pengju and the others' ability to hit them whenever they wanted and to leave whenever they wanted.

The kid tried to find Yao Pengju to fight with the bayonet but couldn't find him. I'm afraid the Japanese army wouldn't take any advantage in Yao Pengju's hands.

"The Japanese army is full of tricks. They are alone behind enemy lines. If the Japanese army asks for support and encircles them with all their strength, the consequences will be bad."

If there were only Jingu Kazuo and others in Anyang Town, Zhao Zhiguo wouldn't have anything to worry about.

I was afraid that the Japanese army would continue to increase their troops in order to wipe out all of them.

When the Japanese troops in the Anyang Town area reached saturation, Yao Pengju could not escape the Japanese fortress-like pursuit even if he made all kinds of changes.

"In a poor place like ours, the Japanese army already thinks highly of us if they send a regiment to encircle and suppress us. If they send more troops, are we worth it?"

Qin Dongsheng smiled bitterly.

This battle was already quite serious. The combined strength of both sides was five to six thousand, and the fight lasted for two days and was not over yet.

If the Japanese army sends more troops, the battle may escalate into a small battle.

To launch a small battle in a small mountain town for the strength of a regiment of Zhao Zhiguo? Unless the Japanese army went crazy.

The Japs have limited troops, and they will not waste too many troops in Anyang Town.

And as long as they capture the Bingzhou area, Anyang Town will be isolated from the outside world behind enemy lines.

A lone army that cannot communicate with the outside world and has no support can be wiped out by the little devils whenever they want.

"That's right. Maybe I'm thinking too much. I hope Yao Pengju and the others can kill more Japanese soldiers. If one more Japanese veteran dies, the battle will be much easier if the Japanese army tries to attack us in the future."

Zhao Zhiguo hoped that those who came to encircle and suppress them would be new Japanese soldiers.

In the early stages of the war, the Japanese army was depleted very little, and they could still recruit new soldiers who had undergone three years of training.

However, as the effective strength of the Japanese army continues to be depleted, the new recruits that come in will become uneven, and there are even those who are sent to the battlefield after three weeks of training.

"Captain, after this battle is over, will we still be stationed in Anyang Town?"

The Japanese army already knew that Anyang Town was Zhao Zhiguo's base camp. Even if the Japanese army withdrew, they would definitely send troops to check the situation from time to time.

If Anyang Town never has peace, they will have no intention of developing and expanding themselves.

"An army must have its own roots. Without roots, it is just a mercenary army. The people of Anyang Town support us in fighting the invaders, and we must be worthy of their support. Maybe one day we will leave Anyang Town, but it will never be like this.

The most difficult time.”

Zhao Zhiguo and the others do need to grow stronger, but they are by no means abandoning the people of Anyang Town.

"I'm afraid that before our troops can recover, the little Japs will come and cause us trouble again."

Anyang Town is not that big to begin with. Even if the Japs don't send troops, they will send reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter. If they find traces of Chinese military activities, they will send bombers to blow it up again.

At that time, the Japanese army even spared ground troops.

After being bombed for a long time, both the people and the soldiers will be in panic all day long and endure huge psychological pressure.

This high pressure will not only be detrimental to the development of the army, but will also stagnate production in Anyang Town.

Originally, the people in Anyang Town did not have much food left over at the end of the year. If the Japanese army bombed again, more than half of the people would definitely be displaced.

If Anyang Town becomes an empty city, what is the point of Zhao Zhiguo and the others continuing to be stationed in Anyang Town?

"This is indeed a problem. On the eve of the battle, I discussed it with the instructor and Tian Kezhi. We may move our base to the mountains by then."

Although the transportation is inconvenient, the troops are already accustomed to the troops stationed in the mountains. In terms of concealment and the confidentiality of the troops, it is not bad.

"Okay, don't think so much. We have about the same time to rest. We have to hurry up and hurry up, and we can't be caught up by the little devils."

Zhao Zhiguo still had the strength to fight, but he could not abandon the wounded, and the seriously injured were unable to retreat on their own. They were overtaken by the Japanese army and could only be massacred by the Japanese army.

However, not long after Zhao Zhiguo and the others left, the roar of aircraft engines sounded in the sky.

"Quick, hide!"
