"Call back to Yan'an, the 225th Infantry Wing of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army is coming south, Boyuan already knows, although Zhangwu is not impregnable, but not everyone can come, please see Boyuan in Zhangwu to open a big array to kill" Zhao Zhi's word was taken by Chiang Kai-shek himself, and he intended to sign it as Boyuan's name in the telegram sent to Yan'an, that is, to nip Yan'an's careful thinking in the bud in advance, Zhao Zhi's plan also needs the cooperation of the Nationalist Government, so now is not the time to turn his face with Chiang Kai-shek.

The Japanese army came from Yuncheng with an infantry wing and a search group, with a total number of more than 3,000 people, and the combined strength of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army was almost 1,500 people, plus the mercenaries in Zhao Zhi's hands, almost 2,000 people. The telegram sent by Yan'an obviously did not count the strength of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, but Zhao Zhi didn't think so, since they wanted to come to Zhangwu County to take advantage, they had to make some efforts, and they couldn't always take advantage of themselves in vain.

"Go and invite the commander of the national army and the commander of the Eighth Route Army to come to the barracks, and say that I will invite them to drink" Zhao Zhi thought for a while in the room alone, and sent Luo Ying and Yan Wudao to summon Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin to come to the barracks to discuss the enemy's strategy. At present, the anti-Japanese forces in Zhangwu County are not much less than the 225th Wing of the Japanese Army, coupled with the huge number of heavy weapons and tanks and armored vehicles in Zhao Zhi's hands, it is not impossible to fight with the Japanese army in Zhangwu County, and what Zhao Zhi needs to consider now is how to deploy troops from the National Army and the Eighth Route Army to meet the battle.

There are more than 600 mercenaries brought by Zhao Zhi into Shanxi, after experiencing Zhangwu County, Madian Railway Station, and Banqiao Stone Beach, the mercenaries in Zhao Zhi's hands are also suffering a lot of casualties, and the temporarily reconstructed wards in the barracks are full of injured mercenaries, Ye Kong's book that records the mercenaries killed in battle already has 34 names, which means that Zhao Zhi's current number of mercenaries is only more than 400 people, and the battle damage ratio has reached more than 2 percent. Before the injured mercenary recovered, Zhao Zhi also needed to rely on the strength of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, otherwise it would be a fool's dream to meet the Japanese army in Zhangwu County.

"Commander Xu, Battalion Commander Sun, please take a seat" Zhao Zhi stood at the door of the barracks and greeted him with a smile, and welcomed Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin into a large room that served as the headquarters. This large room with Zhao Zhi as the headquarters let Yu Dazhi take people to dig out two big windows, the light in the room was very good, and the sunlight that came in obliquely fell on the big sand table in the middle of the headquarters. This sand table was made by Zhao Zhi with Mo Lun and Kessler for a night, as soon as Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin entered the room, they were attracted by this big sand table, and these two guys couldn't wait to lie down and take a closer look.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, there are a lot of masters under you" Sun Jin, who had long been familiar with Zhao Zhi, glanced at Xu Yunzhao with a smile, the last time Xu Yunzhao refused them to enter the city, the relationship between Sun Jin and Xu Yunzhao was very delicate. As long as there is a chance, the two of them will stab back and forth, and they will be two hedgehogs, but they don't know that this practice will cause them both to be covered in bruises.

The white eyes that Sun Jin rolled had already been seen by Xu Yunzhao, if he didn't fight back, it wouldn't be Xu Yunzhao, so Xu Yunzhao also threw back with a white eyeball, then got up and pointed to the big sand table and asked with a smile, "Chief Zhao, I think this sand table should be the terrain around our Zhangwu County, my troops came to Zhangwu County from here, you even got this path out, brother really admires" The path Xu Yunzhao said was indeed the route they took to Zhangwu County after entering Shanxi. But he didn't know that the path was made by Zhao Zhi when he first attacked Zhangwu County, and led the mercenaries to split the mountains and open the way.

"Don't talk about this yet, I asked you to come here to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy, I believe you have all received information that the 37th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Yuncheng has sent its subordinate 225 Infantry Wing and a search team to us. According to my calculations, they should be able to meet my scout team at this time tomorrow, and when the time comes, we will know their numbers and weapon configuration, but what we have to do now is to prepare countermeasures in advance before the Japanese army arrives here" Zhao Zhi smiled and poured tea for Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin, and he took a cup of coffee and sat down.

Zhao Zhi's coffee was brought by Hunter from Shanghai, and when he left Chongqing, Song Meiling also gave Zhao Zhi some, I don't know why, Zhao Zhi has always been unaccustomed to drinking tea, as long as he has time, he will always make a pot of coffee with his own hands, and gather Kessler and a few of them to sit around drinking coffee and smoking cigars, which can be regarded as a disguised reward for a few of their foreign mercenaries. Zhao Zhi is not a person who retreats easily, Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin naturally know something about Zhao Zhi, and it is not difficult to see from Zhao Zhi's previous battle columns that Zhao Zhi invited them over to prepare for a fight with the Japanese army.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhi drank a cup of coffee, and beckoned the two of them to the edge of the sand table, "This is Banqiao, that is, the place where my people ambushed the Japanese puppet army in Maliang River the day before yesterday, and if the Japanese army in Yuncheng wants to come to Zhangwu County, Banqiao will be the only way, so I have sent someone to Banqiao early this morning to clean up the corpses of those Japanese puppet soldiers." As the saying goes, defeating the enemy once is not a skill, defeating the enemy in the same place in a row, that is the real ability, I am ready to meet the 225th Wing on the stone beach of Banqiao" The baton in Zhao Zhi's hand was heavily pointed on the stone beach on the north side of Banqiao.

The large-caliber artillery shells captured by Zhao Zhi at the railway station were not used up, and in the battle at Stone Beach the day before yesterday, the power of large-caliber artillery shells converted into fixed-point blasting made Zhao Zhi particularly admired, so Zhao Zhi wanted to use the same trick against the 225th Wing of the Japanese army coming from Yuncheng again, even if he couldn't take advantage of the situation to defeat this group of Japanese troops, he had to peel off a layer of his skin. "Mr. Zhao, can you do this?" Sun Jin admired Zhao Zhi's battle at Stone Beach very much, but this time it was an infantry wing of the Japanese army, not comparable to the Japanese puppet coalition army in Maliang River.

"Don't forget, I still have tanks and armored vehicles in my hands, but I still need your help" Zhao Zhi took out a piece of paper from a stack of documents and put it next to the sand table, signaling Xu Yunzhao and Sun Jin to read the contents on it themselves, "This is part of the weapons and ammunition captured by my people in the Madian Railway Station, the weapons and ammunition recorded on this are all provided to you, after defeating the Japanese army coming from Yuncheng, each of your families will take thirty percent of the loot captured on the battlefield, including heavy weapons."
