Chapter 44 Arrangement
"Battalion Commander Sun, after my people take over the defense of the county seat, the people who trouble you will guard the county seat for us after the national army leaves" Zhao Zhi raised his hand to stop Sun Jin's resignation, and then said, "Your Eighth Route Army has sent another battalion over, according to the time, it should be able to reach Zhangwu County this afternoon, and when the time comes, I will trouble you to recruit the people in the county town to build fortifications, and it must be built according to my drawings, which is the key to our victory over the Japanese army here." Zhao Zhi took a map of the garrison fortifications from the table and handed it to Sun Jin.
The drawings that Zhao Zhi gave to Sun Jin were drawn based on the terrain of the guards in Zhangwu County, and if Sun Jin built the fortifications according to the drawings, the heavy weapons in Zhao Zhi's hands would be able to exert super firepower with the mountain fortifications. "My people don't have time at all, I'm so anxious to get rid of Xu Yunzhao, it's because my people are going to set off for the stone beach in Banqiao in the afternoon, and the ambush battlefield over there still needs to be rearranged, otherwise a wing of Japanese troops is not something we can fiddle with" Seeing that Sun Jin still wanted to shirk and take over the defense of the county, Zhao Zhi had no choice but to tell the truth.
When he got up early, Zhao Zhi had already sent Yan Wudao and Ye Kong to Banqiao with some of the mercenaries, the corpses of the Japanese puppet army on the stone beach needed to be cleaned up, and the battlefield traces left over from the last ambush also needed to be covered up, and the large-caliber shells that Yan Wudao brought with them also needed Zhao Zhi to personally transform them into fixed explosive points, so Zhao Zhi couldn't spare his hands to rectify the defense of the county at all. Compared with the National Army and the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Zhi was more willing to believe Sun Jin, who had dealt with him, which was the main reason why he was so eager to force Xu Yunzhao to leave Zhangwu County.
Xu Yunzhao, who was born in Huangpu, is a high-minded and arrogant person at first glance, this is something that Zhao Zhi has discovered since he entered the city, if Zhao Zhi leaves the county, Sun Jin will not be able to fight Xu Yunzhao, once Zhao Zhi's back road has a problem, after ambushing the Japanese army at Stone Beach, Zhao Zhi and the mercenaries are likely to not even have a place to stay. Zhao Zhi is a person who never suffers, he will never allow problems in his back road, so after testing Xu Yunzhao to no avail, he simply drove Xu Yunzhao and his people out of Zhangwu County, and only in this way can Zhao Zhi rest assured that he can take the mercenaries out of the stone beach to ambush the Japanese army.
It was not a smooth thing to take over the defense, pulling Xu Yunzhao who was unconscious, and Yu Dazhi and them directly loaded the hard top, which drove the scolding and chirping soldiers out of Zhangwu County. After Yu Dazhi and them completely took over the county seat, Sun Jin commanded his people to go to the city gate and replaced Yu Dazhi and them. Sun Jin didn't have many people in his hands, and it was just enough to guard the city wall, but as long as he held out until the afternoon, the infantry battalion of the Eighth Route Army that came later came.
After lunch, the scouts sent by Zhao Zhi reported that the scouts had been following Xu Yunzhao and them for dozens of miles, saying that Xu Yunzhao and they had left the boundary of Zhangwu County and walked in the direction of Xi'an. Sun Jin, who had been worried, put his mind at ease and guarded the city gate steadily, and was laughed at by Yu Dazhi for a while, saying that Sun Jin did not have the responsibility of being a battalion commander. After settling Sun Jin and them, Zhao Zhi took the truck and the mercenaries straight to the stone beach, although Yan Wudao rushed to Banqiao with the mercenaries and money to recruit the people to clean up the stone beach, but Zhao Zhi was still worried that they would delay the implementation of the entire plan.
Banqiao is only more than 50 miles away from Zhangwu County, and by the time Zhao Zhi and his team arrived, the people hired by Yan Wudao and them with money had already cleaned up the corpses of the Japanese puppet soldiers on the stone beach, and they were pulling dry soil and fresh shrubs to cover up the traces left by the battlefield. "How? You alright? As long as you give money, there are more people working in Banqiao" Yan Wudao held a cigarette in his mouth, and squeezed his eyes towards Yu Dazhi with some smugness, the stone beach was full of people who were buried in work, no wonder Yan Wudao looked like this.
"Don't be too happy, call someone over later, dig a trench here that is 2 meters wide and 2 meters 5 meters deep, and the length should go all the way from the bushes on the bank of the river to the grave over there" Zhao Zhi drew a direction on the ground with his feet, and Yan Wudao glanced at it with a big eye, the length of this trench is probably more than 500 meters. "Dazhi, you take our people to cut some wooden stakes of more than 2 meters back, they dig the trench with the sword, you take people to cover the top with wooden stakes, close the trench into a tunnel, and use floating soil to cover it up" Zhao Zhi pointed to the bushes in the distance, and gave Yu Dazhi a job.
"Sir, what are we digging a trench for? Isn't it just like last time? Transferred our tanks and armored vehicles to hide in the woods, and when I saw the little devils or the three-plate axe, I didn't believe they could withstand it" Luo Ying, who was a big ghost, chattered non-stop, he didn't catch up with the last stone beach ambush, and he always heard Yu Dazhi say it, Luo Ying wanted to see the power of tanks and armored vehicles. In his mind, those iron guys who rumbled and moved were powerful, and the iron guys were also equipped with cannons and machine guns, and if they started fighting, there was no safer place than squatting inside the iron guys.
Luo Ying's words made Yu Dazhi and Yan Wudao laugh in unison, and Yu Dazhi rubbed Luo Ying's head a little dotingly, "Say you're stupid, you're really a little fool, you think the Japanese are so stupid." We ambushed them here the day before yesterday, so can the Japanese soldiers who fled back not tell their superiors? Mr. arranged it like this, naturally he has his intentions, you kid will follow me to cut down the tree" Yu Dazhi grabbed Luo Ying with both hands, put it on his shoulders, and carried him away with a smile.
In fact, not only Luo Ying didn't know Zhao Zhi's intention to dig a trench here, but Yu Dazhi didn't know either, and what Zhao Zhi wanted to dig was not a horizontal defensive trench, according to the traces he drew on the ground with his feet, this trench was dug out of a longitudinal one. In addition, Zhao Zhi wanted to cover the trench with wooden stakes and floating soil, Yu Dazhi and the others thought that their husband was going to hide all the mercenaries in the trench, and the 500-meter-long trench was just enough to hide all the mercenaries under Zhao Zhi who rushed to Stone Beach.
"Add three oceans to each of the people, and ask them to dig a trench before dawn tomorrow, in order to avoid the Japanese army being annoyed and angry after being ambushed by us, you bring some people to help them move, and they all withdraw into Zhangwu County, lest we withdraw, and the Japanese army will take them out of anger" Looking at the busy people, Zhao Zhi could only give more oceans to thank them, before defeating the invading Japanese army, these people living in Banqiao would become the object of the Japanese army's anger at any time, compared to the danger, Zhangwu County should be safer.
