    "We have been ready for battle for a long time. In the five or six counties next to our base area, the combined strength of the Japs is less than 3,000. I have wanted to eat them for a long time."

    An Eighth Route Army division commander said eagerly.

    The other teachers and commanders also had smiles on their faces.

    In the past six months, they have kept a low profile and never had a large-scale battle with the Japanese army.  The purpose was to make the Japanese army think that their strength in the Hebei area was very weak and they only had some guerrillas.

    Now that the boss has personally given the order, they can fight freely. The division commanders of the Eighth Route Army are naturally happy.

    "What's the hurry! We can't take action first, we have to wait for the signal." Boss Peng said.

    "Signal? What signal?" asked a division commander next to him.

    Boss Peng said calmly: "Wait until there is a gunshot all over the city!!"

    After saying that, he showed a meaningful smile.

    In Mancheng, many of Zhang Huaili¡¯s shops have recruited many new clerks in the past few months.

    It is a new guy, in fact, it is the elite soldiers of the Guard Corps, and the camouflage identity lurking after the city.

    However, their number is only a small number, and their main purpose is to find out the Japanese defense deployment in the city.

    The Japanese army also knew that the geographical location of Mancheng was very important.  If the troops of the Fourth Army set out from Laiyuan County to regain the Hebei area, then Mancheng will be the county seat they must attack.

    Similarly, if they want to capture the important town of Baoding in Hebei, they have to capture the entire city.

    So the Japanese army stationed a full brigade of troops here.

    Outside Baoding City, a large number of defensive positions were built to deal with possible attacks from the Fourth Army at any time.

    Even if the Pingjin area was in crisis, Okamura Neiji would not easily mobilize the strength of this brigade.

    A battalion of the guard regiment, as the elite among the elite, has been hiding in the jungle outside the city.

    They had just arrived here not long ago, and the mission they received was very simple. They were to pass through the tunnels they had dug before and sneak into the city quietly after the battle started.

    Then, they were able to use their excellent street fighting capabilities to stab the Japanese army in the back.

    When the time comes, the whole city will be captured by Xia Yang's troops at a very fast speed.

    During this time, Zhang Huaili seemed to feel that the battle was approaching.

    Because of that secret underground passage, more and more supplies have been transported back and forth recently.

    He does not have the authority to view those materials.

    Zhang Huaili was only responsible for providing some warehouses to store these materials.

    The supplies inside are nothing else, they are all kinds of weapons used in combat.

    This includes a large number of rocket nest systems, mortars, anti-tank rocket launchers, a large number of light and heavy machine guns, and various accompanying ammunition.

    In the upcoming offensive and defensive battle across the city, these weapons and equipment that have been transported into the city in advance will become a nightmare that the Japanese troops stationed here do not want to recall.

    The person in charge here is Chang Huaiyuan, commander of the first battalion of the security regiment.

    In Zhang Huaili¡¯s eyes, Chang Huaiyuan was an out-and-out weirdo.

    This man had a stern face and looked like a wanted criminal who had escaped from prison.

    There is a shocking scar between his neck.

    It is said that the shrapnel cut through his neck and damaged his vocal cords. Although he saved his life, his speech was very low and hoarse, like the sound made by sandpaper rubbing against an iron plate.

    If it is not necessary, Zhang Huaili refuses to communicate with this person.

    Because he always felt that if he said something wrong in front of him, this usually unsmiling weirdo would give him a knife.

    On this day, this weirdo in Zhang Huaili's eyes suddenly came to him.

    This surprised him very much, because except for exercising in the yard in the morning, Chang Huaiyuan seldom left the house and would not talk to him.

    "What's the matter, Mr. Chang?" Zhang Huaili said with an apologetic smile, "Look, is there something improperly arranged?"

    Chang Huaiyuan smiled, but in Zhang Huaili's eyes, the smile looked so charming that he subconsciously took two steps back.

    "Shopkeeper Zhang has worked hard these days. I'm just here to tell you?If it is not necessary these two days, just stay at home with your family and don't go out and run around.  "

    Chang Huaiyuan¡¯s hoarse voice made Zhang Huaili feel like goosebumps were rising on his body.

    "This is¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"

    Zhang Huaili seemed to realize something. As soon as he said the words, he regretted a little and thought about how he could ask about things he shouldn't ask about.

    Chang Huaiyuan bowed slightly to him and said: "Shopkeeper Zhang, thank you very much for your help during this time. But there are some things that it is better not to know."

    After saying that, he turned around and returned to his room.

    Zhang Huaili suddenly woke up the moment the door to his room closed.

    He had already vaguely guessed that if Chang Huaiyuan said these words to him at this time, it meant that the Fourth Army was about to recover Mancheng.

    At this time, his heart was full of mixed emotions, and the expression on his face didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

    In the end, there was a smile on his face, and the tears kept flowing down.

    Zhang Huaili, the traitor who has been scolded by the people all over the city for so many years, can finally be redressed.

    Thinking of this, Zhang Huaili, who had always been very reserved and intangible of emotions and anger, could no longer control the expression on his face.

    He cried sometimes and laughed sometimes, which seemed strange to the soldiers in the guard group nearby.

    "What happened to Shopkeeper Zhang?"

    "It's probably hysteria!"

    "Oh, it's so pitiful. I've been called a traitor for so many years. It's time to rehabilitate me, but in the end I went crazy."

    As the two soldiers from the guard group spoke, they all sighed and expressed their sympathy for Zhang Huaili.

    In several small towns in Pingjin, at noon on the second day after the Kagel Combat Division stormed Zhangjiakou, a large number of Japanese troops arrived one after another.

    After these Japanese troops arrived here, they immediately blocked the highway and at the same time forced the local people to provide at least one strong laborer from each household to dig trenches and build defensive positions for them.

    This time, the Japanese troops supporting Pingjin included two integrated brigades.

    They are spread over a large area in the northwest of Beiping, turning every road, every bridge, and every small town there into their stronghold and defensive position.

    It has to be said that the Japanese army mobilized its troops in this area very quickly.

    Through the railway, it only takes them half a day to deliver the troops from the central and northern areas of Hebei to the Pingjin area.

    Huaze Qingshan in Zhangjiakou has heard the news of the arrival of reinforcements.

    But there was no expression of excitement on his face.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
