The little devil also learned in battle, especially after suffering so much at the hands of Zhao Zhiguo.

Masao Murano also knew that trapping Zhao Zhiguo's troops with strongholds, trenches and barbed wire was simply not feasible.

Their best way is to control the traffic arteries and prevent the infiltration of Zhao Zhiguo's troops.

Masao Murano also understood that if Zhao Zhiguo's army wanted to develop and grow, it could not do without expanding its territory.

So the little Japanese made a clear goal, which was to confine Zhao Zhiguo's troops to a certain space.

Given Wang County's economic situation, it is impossible to support tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, the little devil didn't know that Zhao Zhiguo was not just relying on Wang County to support his troops!

In addition to Wangxian and Anyang Town, Zhao Zhiguo also had contacts with Commander Zhang's troops. Especially after the coal mines developed, some of the supplies they needed did not only rely on Wangxian.

However, in terms of military resources, it does depend on Wang County.

But as Zhao Zhiguo's independent regiment became famous in this area, many people came here to join Zhao Zhiguo's army.

However, the little devil's actions were not without effect. At least Zhao Zhiguo's eastward development was temporarily curbed by the little devil.

If Zhao Zhiguo continues to develop towards the Pingcheng area, he will have to face the puppet troops of the Guanggu Division Regiment and a brigade.

In other words, Masao Murano is forcing Zhao Zhiguo to fight them head-on.

In the past, on Zhao Zhiguo's territory, Zhao Zhiguo's troops were everywhere, and the little devils could never find Zhao Zhiguo's main force and engage in a decisive battle with them.

Now the situation is reversed. If Zhao Zhiguo wants to find a way to develop in Pingcheng, he must fight the Japanese army head-on.

Guerrilla warfare can no longer exert any advantage in offensive battles, and must be fought head-on with large-scale forces.

What the little Japanese longed for most was for Zhao Zhiguo's troops to have a decisive battle with them.

Moreover, there is a railway between Pingcheng and the rear, making it extremely convenient to transport troops.

The Japs can quickly transport a large number of troops to Pingcheng via railways, and Pingcheng's troops can join the frontline battle in less than half a day.

Zhao Zhiguo also knew that to drive away the Japanese army, guerrilla tactics alone could not be achieved.

Large-scale corps operations are the most effective method.

Now the problem of frontal combat has been placed in front of him.

To capture Pingcheng, the most critical step is to cut off Pingcheng's railway lines and highways leading to the rear. Otherwise, a steady stream of Japanese troops and supplies can be transported into the city at any time.

But before cutting off Wupingcheng's communication lines, they had to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army outside Pingcheng.

In other words, this decisive battle must wipe out all the Japanese troops outside the city.

By compressing Murano Masao's main force inside the city, they were able to have a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Pingcheng.

"Old Zhao, what are you thinking about?"

Zhao Zhiguo was thinking a lot. Seeing Zhao Zhiguo sitting there quietly without saying anything, Matthew Wen came over.

"I didn't think anything of it!"

Regarding Pingcheng's plan, which was not yet mature, Zhao Zhiguo shook his head helplessly.

"The division commander sent us a telegram to thank us!" Matthew said.

"Thank us? We didn't do anything, right?"

"I say thank you to us, but in fact, I mainly want to thank you. First, thank you for the data you provided about the Japanese artillery towers and strongholds. They have arrived behind enemy lines. These data can help our troops solve a lot of troubles. The second is the flying thunder cannons.

Manufacturing, now our army can be considered to have heavy artillery."

The data and weapons support provided by Zhao Zhiguo indeed solved a lot of troubles for the division commanders and reduced the loss of troops.

"These are nothing!"

If it weren't for the restrictions of national conditions, Zhao Zhiguo would like to list the data of AK and rocket launchers now.

Therefore, the data on the turrets mentioned by Zhao Zhiguo are nothing, and they are not bragging at all.

"The division commander and others have safely arrived behind enemy lines and have stabilized. The order he gave us is that you have the final decision-making power on all plans of the army."

Commander Liu gave Zhao Zhiguo great power, which fully reflected the division's trust in Zhao Zhiguo.

"If we can capture Pingcheng, we will not be far from the division commander and the others." Zhao Zhiguo said.

After taking Pingcheng, they will definitely develop to the east, and the division commander and others will definitely develop to the west.

At that time, the troops will be able to cooperate with each other to fight, and the operation of large corps will be fully realized.

"Don't look so gloomy. Seeing you like this makes me feel unsure." Matthew said, "I will send a telegram back to the division headquarters soon. Is there anything you want to say to the division commander?"

"Well... I don't have anything to say, so I just asked!"

"The division commander sent this telegram for more than just asking you to say hello," Matthew said.

Zhao Zhiguo was stunned when he heard Matthew Wen's words, and then smiled with relief: "Master, you want to know what good things I have hidden here, right?"

"Our division commander is solemn sometimes, but he is no worse than you in loving soldiers as sons. If there is a good way to reduce casualties, he will naturally be more interested than anyone else."

Obviously, the data from the turrets and the flying thunder cannons gave the division commander and others a taste of the sweetness.

"Well... Then tell the teacher, I, Zhao Zhiguo, have good things and I will definitely not hide them secretly."

Zhao Zhiguo does have good things, but these good things are still data and cannot be turned into reality.

For example, Zhao Zhiguo knew the data of 40 Fire by heart, but the grenades they made themselves only exploded in half, so there was no way to turn the data of 40 Fire into a real weapon.

There is a huge gap between theory and reality, and Zhao Zhiguo needs factories and machinery.

"With your words, I guess the teacher will give up the idea!" Matthew said with a smile.

Zhao Zhiguo shook his head helplessly, smiled and said to himself: "I wish I were Jingle Cat!"

"Four Zero Fire... We don't have qualified steel, but the little devil's rails are made of good steel."

Suddenly Zhao Zhiguo thought of something.

Zhao Zhiguo and the others don't have a steelmaking plant, but the tracks made by Little Devil are the best steel.

If they refine the little devil's rails and make them into launchers, and then use mortar shells to modify them, they might actually be able to develop a rocket launcher.

However, the railway tracks are heavy and heavy, and the railway lines are all east of Pingcheng. It is not an easy task to get this thing back.

Zhao Zhiguo made a decision. Before attacking the Japanese army in Pingcheng, he must build a rocket launcher.

Otherwise, the armored vehicles and tanks owned by the Japanese army in Pingcheng would be enough to give Zhao Zhiguo and his troops a drink.

After making this decision, the first thing Zhao Zhiguo thought about was to draw a drawing and mark out all the data in his memory in detail.

"Captain, what is this? It looks like a gun but not a gun, and looks like a cannon but not a cannon. Why is it so strange?"
