"This seems to be better than the fortifications we dug before." Zhou Zhizhong pointed his finger and asked for the opinions of his officers, "What do you think?"

The Northwest Army is also good at fortifications. If you strictly follow the requirements, all bunkers must be dug underground, one to two meters each, and can be built with a small upper and a large lower lower, making it very convenient to cover.

"I think each has its own merits!" A battalion commander said tactfully: "From the project quantity, it seems to be less."

"If the project volume is small and the defense effect is good, it's good for us to learn it!" Zhou Zhizhong nodded and said, "The Japanese's artillery fire is powerful, and we have experienced it. If there are no solid fortifications, this battle cannot be fought!"

"Room, is the Third Column going to take the Japanese side?" The battalion commander of the Second Battalion frowned in confusion, "Or should we take the Japanese side's attack?"

Zhou Zhizhong glanced at the battalion commander of the second battalion with some displeasure and said, "Japanese, Japanese, you always talk about it. Are you scared? But one squadron, more than 200 Japanese, and more than a dozen artillery pieces, one regiment can't stand it? As for the puppet army, a group of wine bags, we can fight two at one. Who else can bear it? You have the attitude to let the Third Column stand in front, and our regular army hide behind to watch the fun?"

"I don't mean that," the battalion commander of the second battalion blushed and quickly explained: "I think the Third Ranger is also very capable and there are many tricks. Maybe they have made arrangements long ago?"

Zhou Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief and stopped engaging in this issue because he saw Yang Tianfeng and several guards strode towards him.

"Captain Zhou, you are here at the right time." Yang Tianfeng approached and saluted Zhou Zhizhong, without making any polite controversy, and then spoke: "This is the third line of defense, and there are two more roads ahead. According to the plan, we are preparing to fight step by step and consume the enemy's delayed enemy. But now, I am going to lead an elite force to penetrate the enemy's back, destroy the enemy's material storage station set up behind, and cut off the enemy's retreat. The defense here is to be handed over to your troops, and a regiment from the third column."

"There is no problem with defense operations." Zhou Zhizhong agreed quickly and said with some concern: "General Yang led his troops to intersect behind enemy lines. This is a great risk. Is it safer to gather troops to repel the enemy here?"

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, the most famous one is the sixteen-character mantra: "The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase." But if these sixteen-character principle are regarded as the golden rule, the essence of guerrilla warfare itself will be lost.

Zhou Zhizhong was worried about the risk of interspersing behind enemy lines, but Yang Tianfeng believed that this was also the principle of guerrilla warfare and a kind of flexibility. If it was put into the middle and late stages of the War of Resistance, this tactic would become famous, called "flipped".

"If you are safe, you will lose the results of the battle." Yang Tianfeng smiled gratefully and said, "Don't worry, Captain Zhou, I am all elite and familiar with the geographical environment. It's not that easy for the enemy to catch me. In addition--"

Yang Tianfeng made an invitation gesture, and when Zhou Zhizhong came to his side, he pointed and said, "These trench fortifications do not seem strange at first glance, but there are some tricks. I won't explain them one by one. The first line of defense is also the officers and soldiers of the third column. Commander Zhou can lead the officers to observe them later. It's also easy to criticize and correct me, so give me some advice!"

"I dare not take the advice, but I have to learn a little bit." Zhou Zhizhong waved his hand to express his humility.

Yang Tianfeng reached out and called Chen Dalong, and said with a smile: "I am the most at ease with you here. Let's keep in touch. When the final counterattack is over, we will drink wine and never return without getting drunk."

"Okay!" Zhou Zhizhong smiled cheerfully and said, "I dare not boast about anything else. If it comes to drinking, Zhou has never lost to others."

"When you drink, it's still satisfying to burn a knife." Chen Dalong also mentioned that his eyes shimmered when he drinks, and he was even more confident about his alcohol tolerance.

"We're going to have a drink for this celebration wine." Yang Tianfeng raised his hand to salute, shook hands with Zhou Zhizhong and Chen Dalong, and hurried away with the guards.

Seeing Yang Tianfeng's back moving away, Chen Dalong hurriedly reached out to invite him, "Captain Zhou, please inspect the fortifications with your brothers. Some tricks must be known."

"Please, Team Chen." Zhou Zhizhong was very polite. The two met each other and were still fellow villagers. You could tell from their accents that their generous personality was also very tempted. He and Chen Dalong felt this way, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled.

…………….

The moon travels through the clouds, appearing and disappearing. The more than 400 troops disguised as Japanese and puppet troops formed a long line and advanced rapidly under the sometimes-disappearing moonlight.

Intrusion behind enemy lines is a dangerous thing to anyone. If you don’t do it well, you will find it for the enemy and fall into a siege.

But under the guidance of the guide, there were scouts spying on the front. This interspersed force sometimes walked on the winding path in the mountains and forests, sometimes blatantly walking on the main road, sometimes passing through dead grass and wild fields with no road at all, circled around, and successfully avoided the sweeping enemy. He had already traveled more than 30 miles before dawn and approached the target Caozhuang.

After capturing Caozhuang, he would rest and rectify. Yang Tianfeng felt that the dozens of puppet troops in Caozhuang were like native chickens and tiles, and even if it was a strong attack, it would not take much effort. Of course, he had a better way to solve these puppet troops more easily.

Scientists have done research and found that whenever people are very happy and feel very good for a period of time, something will always come with it, which will make you fall into a low point, as if there is a curse.

To put it more simply, it is somewhat similar to the idiom "The ultimate joy leads to sadness". That is, people cannot be so happy every day, and there will be a little raindrops at any time. The whole process is a bit like a wave, with peaks and valleys, ups and downs.

The personal feelings of the puppet army team leader Zhang Shunchang illustrate this. Originally, he was left in Caozhuang to establish a material transfer station to receive the Japanese cavalry that he would support later. It was a very beautiful thing for him and his men. There was no need to worry about being hurt by landmines or cold guns, nor did he have to fight and die with the enemy. But the good mood didn't last for two days, and he was still immersed in his dreams early in the morning, and was interrupted by a group of Japanese soldiers who suddenly appeared.

"Taijun, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." Zhang Shunchang's head looked sweaty and nodded and said, "There are wine and food here, Taijun's, Miximisi."
