Chapter 757: If we don’t fight now, it will be more difficult to fight in the future
It's not that he is difficult to deal with, but that this person is very cunning.
"So, Your Excellency, Captain, do we need to be on guard to prevent any unexpected events?"
Kuroki pondered the map for a moment, then pointed to the eight kilometers where the Gui army's first and second lines of defense lay. "Arrange personnel to go in and secure this area. Draw a squadron from the Second Battalion to the front line. Deploy the infantry artillery there, move four machine guns there, and the armored vehicles as well. Also, deploy the Third Battalion in the rear to prevent a surprise attack."
The Japanese troop deployment was quickly delivered to Zhou Weiguo.
Zhang Ren stretched his neck to read the telegram, and his eyes fell on Zhou Weiguo.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhou Weiguo asked when he noticed his gaze.
Zhang Ren pulled over a stool and sat down nearby. "I never thought that a small deployment of my entire brigade would be enough to redeploy them. Both the frontline and second-line troops are on alert. I don't think they're coming for me."
His brigade had fought with the Japanese army before. The enemy would not dare to fight with him even with a battalion, let alone a regiment. But now, they are on alert.
I'm afraid that all of this was caused by Zhou Weiguo.
Hey……
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his head with a bitter look on his face; "This is too much of a military expedition, and it's not a good thing."
The case was solved. It turned out that they were targeting this person. Zhang Ren thought that the 27th Brigade valued someone important, but now it seems that the other party valued Zhou Weiguo.
"Then should we continue fighting?" Zhang Ren asked.
Before Zhou Weiguo could answer, a voice came from outside the door; "If we don't fight now, it will be even more difficult to fight after the follow-up troops arrive."
It was a very unfamiliar voice. Several people turned their heads and saw a group of people walking in. They were all officers. The leader was a colonel, and the rest had the lowest rank of captain.
"You're back." Zhou Weiguo smiled at Takeshita Shun who came in.
Takeshita Shun nodded. "As soon as I received the news from Xiao Ya, I immediately led the team here. It seems that it is not too late."
Takeshita Shun had been following the Marines to rob and kill in Annan. When he received a message from Xiao Ya asking him to rush to the Ninth War Zone, he immediately led his men to loot a town and then quickly evacuated. With the assistance of Hase Kiyoshi, he arrived at the edge of Guangxi, and from there he crossed the control areas of both sides and rushed to Hengyang.
He had just arrived in Hengyang the afternoon before yesterday, and Commander Bai asked him to bring people over to help immediately.
"Let me introduce you to Takeshita Shun, the deputy commander of the independent regiment and the captain of the squad. These are all members of the squad."
"Nice to meet you." Zhang Ren extended his hand. Takeshita Shun smiled and shook his hand before looking at the map. "It's eight kilometers away. I'm afraid there are spies inside. I've arranged for someone to remove them."
Zhou Weiguo knocked on the table and shook his head. "Not yet. By the way, where are the Independent Regiment and the 102nd Division?"
Chao Xiang Xiuling beside her said, "The Independent Regiment is almost entering the Sixth War Zone. The 102nd Division set out from Tongren and is now nearly five days away from here."
"What's the situation with the Imperial Guards Division? Have they set out yet?"
"A brigade of the Imperial Guards Division has already set out. With the assistance of army transport ships, it is estimated that it will land in Shanghai in seven days." Asaka Hiderei told Zhou Weiguo the situation she had.
Zhou Weiguo stood up and walked over to the map. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let the first and second lines of defense relax their vigilance a bit and let their scouts in."
"Let...let them in?" Zhang Ren glanced at Zhou Weiguo. "Why?"
"They're on guard. A sudden attack would easily give them the advantage. Send their scouts in to check and confirm that we are indeed building a defensive position. Also, arrange for someone to place explosives on the stone bridge. Let them know that if we are defeated, they will blow up the bridge."
Takeshita Shun took a sip of her cold tea and said, "Let's just blow it up. If the engineers are quick, they can build a pontoon bridge in an hour."
The river was not big, and as long as the engineering company prepared sufficient supplies, it could be set up in less than an hour, and then the troops would quickly pass through and reach the front line.
The bridge was blown up, and the engineering company was dispatched to build a simple pontoon bridge next to it. This pontoon bridge was only suitable for infantry and horses, not trucks.
At the same time, the scouts also infiltrated the second-line defense position. After careful observation, they withdrew and reported to the company.
The enemy was digging trenches and even building bunkers. They were even digging artillery defense positions. All the results proved it.
The other side is not trying to attack but is really trying to build a defensive position.
"It was a false alarm." Kuroki smiled and said to Ono beside him, "It seems that he is not omnipotent. Without sufficient troops, he dare not act rashly."
Ono also felt that they were being too cautious. The two days of vigilance had made the soldiers a little tired. He nodded and said, "It can't be helped. This man's record is too dazzling. It's normal for us to be cautious."
"As I said, no matter how powerful he is, he still needs a strong enough force to support him. Now that his independent regiment hasn't arrived, we don't need to worry. Let the troops withdraw. If we tell others about this, our colleagues will probably laugh at us."
It is already unreasonable to be afraid of the Central Army. If our side is afraid of the Gui Army again, then the face of our regiment will be gone.
That guy is still the most ruthless one.
At the Ninth War Zone Command Headquarters, Commander Bai read through the information he received and then sat down in his chair. "I knew he wasn't a conventional person. Look at this guy, he's got so many tricks up his sleeve."
Chief of Staff Wu, who was sitting next to him, fiddling with his nails, looked up. "It's not a gimmick, is it? The defensive position he's building can indeed be used later. It's just that he's taking it too seriously, so the other side doesn't care that much."
"Yes, if they don't pay attention, they will let their guard down. Once they let their guard down, the entire wing will fall into his trap."
Commander Bai said this, and after coming to the map, he asked, "Where is the 102nd Division?"
"Sir, they are marching rapidly and are about three days away from here."
Commander Bai raised his lips slightly. Chief of Staff Wu saw his actions and stood up and walked over to him. "What do you want to do?"
They were old partners. He still understood what this person's actions meant.
Commander Bai returned to his seat, took a pen from the side, signed his name on a document, and said with a smile, "Nothing, I just wanted to help that kid."
