According to Zhao Zhi's arrangement, after the troops of the 74th Army carried out several feints on Dezhou and Binzhou, they stopped moving, and only put on a momentum of fighting a protracted war with the defenders of Dezhou and Binzhou. The Japanese puppet army strongholds outside the city were uprooted one after another, but the defenders of the two places who had received Okamura Ninji's secret order didn't care, all the people who were now stationed in those strongholds were the Imperial Army, and there were many people who were willing to serve the Imperial Army, and it was a big deal to reorganize the Imperial Army.

"Hmph, it's this set again, it seems that Zhao Zhi is already exhausted in donkey skills, so he will only hide in the dark and sneak attack." Ignoring the doctor's advice, Okamura Ningji, who had been forcibly discharged from the hospital, sneered again and again. The flames of war in Dezhou and Binzhou have not yet dissipated, and the Tubalu armed forces in Hebei have once again gone crazy and started a new round of large-scale raids and harassment operations, but Okamura Ningji, who has already received the war report, does not plan to take it as seriously as the previous two times, because he knows that the people of China will come to such raids and harassment operations a few more times, and there will be no big change in the current situation in Hebei.

When Zhao Zhi organized the first two raids in Hebei, Okamura Ningji was like a pot tinkering craftsman, and where there was an omission, he would send troops to rush over to rescue, but the result was either a premeditated ambush by Zhao Zhi or he did not rush. Okamura Ninji, who had already experienced two raids and harassment battles, planned to change the way he faced the battle this time, "Inform all our troops in Hebei that they must stick to the defense area and not fight at will, and dispatch elite troops to attack and harass the Shina people in the form of squads." ”

Okamura Ninji seems to have understood Zhao Zhi's way of using troops in the hospital these days, which is nothing more than using the advantage of small forces to move quickly to play running and ambushing, this set is very similar to the hit-and-run tactics of the Dirt Eight Road, but the combat effectiveness of the Thunder Mercenaries is stronger, and the firepower is more fierce. Okamura Ninji has hundreds of thousands of mobile troops under his command, and he doesn't believe that he can't find an imperial soldier with the same combat power as the Thunder mercenaries.

The reason why the Japanese army drove into China so smoothly was that in addition to the super combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops, there was another factor, that is, they had a large number of traitors to help. I believe that with the help of those traitors, the Tubalu armed forces active in Hebei will fall into their control one by one, until they trample Zhao Zhi under their feet. "Order the troops to secretly march towards Xingtai" Okamura Ningji unexpectedly did not send troops along the line of Qinghe and Ningjin, but directly planned to go to Cangyan Mountain between Yangquan and Shijiazhuang to prepare for battle.

In order to detect more information about the black-clothed army, the Shijiazhuang Special High Division Branch sent a large number of intelligence officers to various villages and towns between Yangquan and Shijiazhuang. Cangyan Mountain is about 50 kilometers southwest of Shijiazhuang, more than 70 kilometers away from Yangquan, and is located in Jingcheng County.

From Cangyan Mountain to Jingcheng County, he has to pass through Nanjiao Town and Xiulin Town in the middle, as long as Okamura Ningci's troops can rush to Cangyan Mountain without leaking a rumor, he can mobilize troops to Jingcheng County at any time. Okamura Ningji guessed that if the black-clad army was targeting Shijiazhuang, then they would definitely go to capture Jingcheng County, and he was going to set a trap in Jingcheng County.

How Okamura Ningji fights, Zhao Zhi doesn't care at all, there are people in Jinan who are watching, as long as the old boy of Okamura Ningji mobilizes the troops, he will be able to receive the news here immediately. Compared with the busy Okamura Ningji, Zhao Zhi, who rushed to the periphery of Zhangqiu, was extremely leisurely at the moment, and when Ye Kong, who was sleeping lazily, found Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi was squatting on the fork of a small river with a few guards fishing.

"Sir, when are we going to fight the Japanese army? I slept like this every day, I couldn't stand it. Ye Kong sat down beside Zhao Zhi with a bitter face, not caring at all that the fish that might have been hooked would be scared away by him, and just complained to Zhao Zhi with all his own strength. Yan Wudao went to Jinan, even Luo Ying, a little thing, was sent out by Zhao Zhi, but his own sharpshooter was left by Zhao Zhi alone, Ye Kong was angry when he thought of Luo Ying's smug face.

"Don't worry, wait." Old God Zhao Zhi fiddled with his fishing rod with a cigar in his mouth, "This battle is like fishing, you have to be patient." Okamura Ninji is not a fool, and it is more prudent to fight with a guy like him, don't look at us now, it seems that we are not bad now, but once we are caught by Okamura Ninji, the situation that we have worked so hard to fight may collapse immediately. ”

It's strange to believe you, Ye Kong rolled his eyes to Zhao Zhi, and then watched Zhao Zhi fishing listlessly. The snipers under Ye Kong have long been released by him to carry out raids and harassment operations, and now Ye Kong is simply a lonely person, and if he is not here to watch Zhao Zhi fishing, he really has nowhere to go. "Sir, a telegram from Yangquan that the Burmese troops are ready to fight at any time." Zhao Zhi's intelligence staff trotted to find Zhao Zhi and handed him the telegram in his hand.

"Eugene, this guy is an impatient, don't you want him to stay in Mandalay and rest for a few more days? What are you going to Yangquan to do? After reading the message, Zhao Zhi's eyes had a smile. After Eugene and his mercenaries came back from the Soviet Union, they were packed and thrown by Zhao Zhi to the Kunming base to recuperate, and later Yu Dazhi took them to Mandalay to help train those reserve mercenaries, Zhao Zhi didn't expect that Eugene had now gone to Yangquan.

"Yo, Eugene went to Yangquan, but I haven't seen him in a few days." Eugene and Ye Kong are both old mercenaries who follow Zhao Zhi, and they have a good relationship with each other, especially Ye Kong has lived in Western countries, and he can talk to Eugene and several of them in Belarus. "Brother Dazhi will say that Eugene found a Jewish girl in Kunming, but the parents of that family are a little unhappy that Eugene is a mercenary, so Brother Dazhi also made a special trip back to Kunming for this matter, and I don't know what happened now."

"Well, you can find a time to ask Dazhi to see if the matter between Eugene and the Jewish woman has been resolved." Finding a woman is a private matter for the mercenaries, as long as it is not forced, Zhao Zhi has always cared about these things, he just didn't expect Yu Dazhi to go back to Kunming for Eugene's affairs, it seems that he doesn't care enough about these old mercenaries around him, if this matter is himself or Rowling's departure, maybe the family will rush to marry the woman to Eugene.

"The vanguard of the Burmese army has rushed to Longquangou, right here." Zhao Zhi's operational staff officer marked a location on the map, and Zhao Zhi, who had already rushed back to the temporary headquarters, leaned over and looked over. "Sir, Okamura Ningji mobilized heavy troops to go north to besiege the Burmese army, do you think he will put the battlefield in this Niangzi Pass, the national army and the Eighth Route Army have both inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army here, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Okamura Ningji should not put such a good terrain and not use it."

"You're only half right, the terrain of Niangzi Pass is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack." Zhao Zhi turned his head and smiled at the staff officers under him, Niangziguan is so famous, how could Zhao Zhi not know. "But you have all forgotten the distance from Yangquan to Niangzi Pass, the only 40 Highway can block our heavy artillery, but it can't stop our planes, Okamura Ningji knows that we have an airport and fighter troops in Yangquan to help in the war, if I were him, I would never put the battlefield here, although the terrain of Niangzi Pass is very good."

"But didn't you say that sir, the one who leads the war still has to rely on the infantry? The Japanese also have planes, what if they bomb our airfields with planes before they go to war? "There is a staff officer who does not admit defeat to continue to ask, before the war first rely on air superiority to hit the key targets of the Japanese puppet army, this is the usual tactic of Thunder, but Okamura Ningji has fought with Thunder many times, it is impossible that he has not learned anything, so his question also has some basis.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops in Yangquan can't find our airport, do you think Okamura Ninji can find it with just a few reconnaissance planes? Besides, we have built more than one airport in Yangquan, and Okamura Ninji is not so godly. Zhao Zhi's answer calmed the minds of the staff officers. How many airports Thunder has built in the country, I'm afraid only the people close to Mo Lun and Zhao Zhi, who are in charge of this matter, know, and in addition to that, the big-nosed commanders who command the Thunder fighter unit know.

The secrecy work has been done to this extent, and Zhao Zhi is not afraid that Okamura Ningji will send fighters to bomb the airport in Yangquan, because as long as there is an airfield that can be used normally, those big noses will have a way to get all the Thunder fighters stationed in Shanxi to take to the air to fight. "Inform the Burmese army to send 5,000 people to carry out a feint attack on Niangzi Pass, first test the layout of the Japanese army, if the Japanese army is empty, take advantage of the situation to take Niangzi Pass, if it encounters a strong attack, turn around and go to Saimaling to standby, but make preparations for a large-scale attack on Jingcheng County."

Zhao Zhi's combat intentions have been undoubtedly demonstrated to this extent, and the staff officers under him are not wine bags and rice bags for nothing, and from Zhao Zhi's arrangement of the feint attack on Niangzi Pass, it has been guessed that the focus is not Niangzi Pass, I am afraid it will be Jingcheng County. The intelligence officer of the military commander said that Okamura Ningji had already dispatched troops to the north, but the people who were deployed in Qinghe and Ningjin said that they did not find a large number of Japanese puppet troops passing there, and Zhao Zhi had to turn his attention to Jingcheng County, and he thought that Okamura Ningji's troops would definitely lurk somewhere around Jingcheng County to set a trap.
