"This is not fear of war, it is avoiding its edge. Knowing that the Kwantung Army is difficult to deal with but still pushing forward, it will only lead to death in vain." Faced with the accusations from the special officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Zhao Zhi rarely
He didn't get angry, "I only have in my hand now
With more than 10,000 Burmese people, it might be possible to deal with the local Japanese and puppet garrison with this small force, but if we pull them against the Kwantung Army, they will only be defeated by the other side at once. Not only that, we fought hard
The good situation that we have come down may also be lost because of this. Do you think this is a good deal?"
I haven’t received a penny of military pay from your Military and Political Department. The Burmese mercenaries who came to Shandong to help in the war received military pay from me. It’s up to me whether to fight or not. You guys are here to complain.
What a crooked thing. Looking at the fat officials, Zhao Zhi was furious from the bottom of his heart. He didn't even think about asking the Military and Political Department for some reinforcements. But when he came to fight against the autumn wind, he was...
Faster than a runner.
The officials sent by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had obviously reached some kind of agreement when they arrived. They turned a deaf ear to Zhao Zhi's accusations and explanations, and just kept emphasizing that Hengshui could not be given away. A group of people like this naturally have a singing voice.
There are fair-faced people and red-faced people. Whenever Zhao Zhi wants to
When he gets angry, there will always be peacemakers who appear at the right time to comfort Zhao Zhi, which makes Zhao Zhi dumbfounded. "The troops stationed in Hengshui belong to me now. Since you want to fight the Kwantung Army, well, I can hand over Hengshui to you."
, whether you can keep it or not depends on your luck."
Zhao Zhi, who had already made a decision, left with his escort mercenaries without looking back, leaving a group of government officials dumbfounded. They all knew that Zhao Zhi was a difficult person to deal with, so they had already discussed it when they came.
Well done, but they all forgot about it
It seems that Zhao Zhi is not under the control of the national government. Lei Lei, who turned Hebei into a pot of porridge and now comes to Shandong, is just a guest army, helping the National Government to fight the war. They, the so-called government officials, are not qualified to come to Zhao Zhi
There are three things to talk about here,
"What should we do?" Several senior members of the He Department came up with countermeasures in low voices. Only then did they finally understand what it meant that Nan'an Villa did not respond to the orders of the Military and Political Department. The old man had already known that these people would be there.
Zhao Zhi hit a snag here. Co-opting and suppressing are common methods used by various forces in the Military and Political Department to eliminate dissidents, but Zhao Zhi is basically a hedgehog-like figure. He simply ignores the olive branches extended by various forces in the Military and Political Department because he has the capital to do so.
.
"Sir, we've all been kicked out." Luo Ying, with a dark face, frowned and entered Zhao Zhi's room. The latter was drinking coffee and discussing things with Ye Kong. From the beginning of the Taiyuan offensive and defensive battle, Luo Ying
The other anti-Japanese armed forces were dismissive. In Luo Ying's view, the other anti-Japanese armed forces regarded Lei Lei as a big piece of fat, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
"Let's just go. What do you think is going on with you frowning all day long at such a young age?" Seeing Luo Ying in a bad mood, Zhao Zhi joked with a smile, along with Yan Wudao, Yu Dazhi and the others.
In comparison, Luo Ying is the one who has been with him the longest, so Zhao Zhi naturally takes care of him like a brother.
Fu. "Go and call those people from the US military coordination group, and tell them that I have something to discuss with them." After Luo Ying was sent away, Zhao Zhi took out a piece of information and threw it to Ye Kong, Yan Wudao
He has secretly gone to Weifang with several mercenary teams. The only person Zhao Zhi can trust besides Luo Ying is Ye Kong.
"Let's take a look. This is our next action plan. After I get out of Hengshui, I plan to gather all the troops at hand to capture Jiaodong." What Zhao Zhi threw to Ye Kong was the action plan to attack the Jiaodong Peninsula. Here
In this action plan, Zhao Zhi will mobilize more than 100,000 Myanmar mercenaries
A large-scale attack on Jinan and Binzhou, the remaining more than 100,000 Burmese mercenaries will attack Weifang and Zhucheng with the cooperation of Jewish airborne troops and mercenary troops, and then leave 50,000 troops stationed in Weifang and Zhucheng to block the Jiaodong Peninsula.
We will take advantage of the situation to wipe out the remaining Japanese and puppet forces in Jiaodong.
Zhao Zhi's battle plan frightened Ye Kong. The scale of the plan was much larger than Thunder's previous battle plans. It is not difficult to imagine that once this battle plan is implemented,
Facing the mercenaries, Do Wan will face the crazy attacks and sieges of the Japanese and puppet troops. Like Zhao Zhi, Ye Kong never took the Burmese mercenaries seriously. On the contrary, Ye Kong also believed that the Burmese mercenaries
Their combat effectiveness was too poor. If it weren't for their large numbers and the help of mercenary troops, these Burmese people might have been defeated countless times by the Japanese army in Henan.
It is a miracle that the Burmese mercenaries can persist until now with nearly 80% of their strength remaining. However, Zhao Zhi placed such a large combat plan on the Burmese mercenaries, and Ye Kong really had no idea. "Mr.
, should we dispatch a Jewish army to Shandong? Those Burmese people are unreliable." Ye Kong is a straight-tempered person. Since his husband has shown him the plan, there is no need to worry about anything anymore.
Hidden and tucked away.
"You haven't finished reading this plan yet. Keep reading. After reading it, you will understand." Zhao Zhi did not directly answer Ye Kong's concerns, but simply hinted lightly that Ye Kong would ask questions after reading the entire battle plan. What is the plan?
The second half is about the troops heading north and landing in Jiaodong.
In order to make this plan, Zhao Zhi had already handed over the information about the two divisions of the Kwantung Army to the south to the people of the US military coordination group. In exchange, or in exchange for the thunder to contain the Japanese army, the US Navy would deploy
A fleet escorted the troops heading north to land in Shandong.
12 days, this is the time set aside by Zhao Zhi. Counting from the time when the US fleet arrives at the coast of Thailand, Zhao Zhi has 12 days to prepare for the troops heading north to land in Shandong. In the current situation, Zhao Zhi
Wanting to seize Jiaodong is like taking chestnuts from the fire. Once they start to implement this combat plan and stabilize their defense lines and prepare to welcome the landing troops in Jiaodong, they will become a thorn in the side of all the Japanese and puppet troops in North China, East China, and Central China.
"Mr. gave up Hengshui because he wanted us to avoid a direct battle with the Kwantung Army. But once we start attacking Jiaodong, the Kwantung Army going south will definitely not stand idly by. Then won't we lose more than the gain?" Ye Kong meant that after giving up Hengshui to the Japanese army,
, what should I do if the Kwantung Army troops who went south also came to Jiaodong to help in the battle? It is obviously a bit unfair to face the attack of more than 100,000 Japanese troops with the few troops on hand.
"Giving up Hengshui does not mean we lose. The Kwantung Army went south to support their South Asian battlefield. I am just gambling with them. Maybe they will not turn a blind eye to Jinan. I bet the Kwantung Army will not pay attention to the besieged Binzhou.
After all, there are a lot of Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong. Their destination is South Asia and they will not stay in Shandong for too long. If necessary, we can abandon Binzhou."
"Then what if the Kwantung Army continues to dispatch troops south and these two divisions participate in the attack on us?"
"That would be easier." There was also a map hanging on the wall of Zhao Zhi's room. "Weifang and Zhucheng are the key to blocking Jiaodong. If they want Binzhou, we will give it to them, and then gather heavy troops to build a line between Weifang and Zhucheng."
The defense line confronted them. The 300,000 Japanese reserve troops stranded in Shanxi have already
Secretly march into Henan. If the Kwantung Army marches eastward to join the siege against us, these 300,000 Japanese troops will take advantage of the opportunity to retake Hengshui, and then head north to Baoding, Langfang, and Cangzhou. We will give them a closed-door attack.
Dog, don’t forget that we have the backing of the 74th Army that is about to land in Jiaodong.”
Beating the dogs behind closed doors was only Zhao Zhi's optimistic judgment. Zhao Zhi could not determine the final outcome before actually fighting the Kwantung Army. However, with nearly 600,000 troops surrounding more than 100,000 Japanese troops, Zhao Zhi was still sure of victory. After all,
The 74th Army and 60,000 reserve troops are already in the United States
The key to supporting the smooth implementation of this plan is not the 74th Army, but the attitude and determination of the U.S. Navy. This is why Zhao Zhihui suddenly summoned those members of the U.S. military coordination group. He wanted to confirm whether the U.S. fleet had set off for the
Thailand.
"Okay, let's fight. If we lose, we will lose those Burmese people at most." Ye Kong's mind is very simple. It seems that his husband is already irreversible in this battle plan.
Yes, since this is the case, it is better to have a good fight with the Japanese army. What is the real situation in Shandong?
The only ones that can be considered as thunder troops are the Second Armored Division outside Texas, the nearly a thousand mercenaries sent out and the 3,000 Jewish airborne troops stationed in Linyi. Even the hundreds of thousands of Burmese mercenaries have been wiped out. As long as Zhao Zhi returns
Now, without any injuries, Thunder still has the possibility to continue to mobilize troops northward.
After easily convincing Ye Kong, Zhao Zhi was in a good mood. Although Ye Kong did not like to lead troops, Ye Kong was the only one of the few trusted people around Zhao Zhi who had attended a regular military academy. Regardless of whether Ye Kong could
After making good suggestions, Zhao Zhi felt that the pressure on his body was much lighter.
Even Zhao Zhi himself had no idea about the upcoming battle plan. The Burmese mercenaries were still useful. Zhao Zhi did not want to consume them all in Shandong at once. After all, they were weapons for hundreds of thousands of people.
It is a pity to leave the equipment in Shandong like this.
But the current situation no longer allowed Zhao Zhi to delay. The large-scale landing of the US military in South Asia heralded the countdown to Japan's defeat and surrender. The war in Europe had been reignited by the US military's landing in France. The tenacious Slavs also began a massive counterattack against the German army.
If Zhao
Zhao Zhi cannot seize the opportunity to play the Thunder's name now. When the profits are divided after the war, Zhao Zhi and his Thunder will also lose the qualification to participate. Therefore, Zhao Zhi will bite the bullet and fight on in the Jiaodong battle.
The Thunder need a springboard close to the Japanese mainland --- Jeju Island.
