"Oh, Okamura Neji, an old boy who has been tortured so miserably by us, can actually be promoted." Looking at the new information just sent by the military commander, Ye Kong smiled a little and grinned a little. He didn't understand the information sent by the military commander. It is about Okamura Neiji. Hebei was continuously harassed by Zhao Zhi. The Japanese and puppet troops in North China suffered heavy losses. The westward movement personally commanded by Okamura Neiji ultimately failed. He should have been punished from home. That's right, but for some reason, Okamura Neiji was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army that invaded China.
Zhao Zhi did not know that Okamura Neiji did serve as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invaders in history, but that was supposed to happen in November 1944. Due to Zhao Zhi's unexpected emergence, Okamura Neiji The first time he served as the commander-in-chief of the invasion of China was brought forward to May 1943, which was one and a half years earlier than the original time in history. Okamura Neiji was a China expert, and he was the first commander-in-chief of the Japanese army in North China after he took office. The thing is to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to implement the "Three Guangs Policy". He believes that occupying China is not to kill all the Chinese people, but to find ways to enslave them and make them willingly create value for Japan.
It's a pity that the appearance of Zhao Zhi made Okamura Neiji's "Three Nos" policy become empty talk. Okamura Neiji's Japanese troops and traitor maintenance committees finished distributing flour and things to the people, and the Spark Force's guerrillas used it as the back foot. Money bought these things. Not only did the Spark Force receive material supplies, but the people who accepted the gifts from the Japanese army no longer loved the Japanese. Instead, they regarded it as a means of supporting their families. Anyway, the Japanese brought these Things were also robbed from the Chinese, and it was the guerrillas who really provided money and benefits.
Okamura Neiji also arranged for the detective team to disguise themselves as guerrillas and carry out sabotage everywhere to discredit the guerrillas. Unfortunately, the defense and activity areas of the Spark Force are strictly divided, and almost every village has insiders who have been persuaded by them. , those who come to cause destruction are guerrillas, those insiders know best. In the battle with the guerrillas, Okamura Neji is like an indomitable fighter, but he always wins less and loses more, otherwise Sparks The army will not expand so fast.
"Ignore him. With the Japanese troops supporting us, we should concentrate on dealing with the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiaodong. If we take this place down as soon as possible, the rest of the matter will be much easier." He crumpled the telegram in his hand into a paper bomb and threw it into the trash can. , Zhao Zhi didn't care. Even if Okamura Neji was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Japanese invaders, it was a pity that Zhao Zhi, who had captured Weifang and Zhucheng, had sealed the gate of the Jiaodong Peninsula. If Okamura Neji wanted to re-enter To take it back, we have to pay for it with human lives. After the landing troops come ashore and the airport is built, Jiaodong will be the bridgehead for counterattack against the Japanese invaders.
"Keep moving forward, don't stop. Leave these small fish and shrimps to the infantry behind to deal with them. Our mission is Qingdao." Eisenberg, who commanded the car, had a calm face. Compared with Joey, who commanded the 1st Armored Division, Eisenberg, the new commander of the Second Armored Division, seems a bit dull, but people who are familiar with him know that this is just an illusion. Once the Second Armored Division encounters the enemy, Eisenberg, the commander of the Second Armored Division, will always I like to drive a Sherman tank and fight the enemy in close combat.
Eisenberg's 2nd Armored Division had already separated from the Texas tanks and sneaked into the Jiaodong area. With the timely supply of air-dropped fuel, Eisenberg's 2nd Armored Division was unstoppable along the way. Eric's rapid artillery troops helped Myanmar The troops had just taken Zhucheng, and the Second Armored Division that had crossed Anqiu had already reached Gaomi. The long-distance attack and the high-speed driving of the tanks caused at least 20% of the tanks and armored vehicles commanded by Eisenberg to break down halfway. Fortunately, the armor The Second Division also has an infantry covering force of about 1,500 people. Otherwise, the armored vehicles would not be able to reach the high density with just one tank commanded by Eisenberg.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese also had tank troops and armored vehicles. However, the Japanese armored tactics were rigid and rigid. Compared with the Japanese tank troops, the Japanese tanks were not only incomparable in terms of tactics, but also in number. , but Thunder's tanks are different. They were all raided by Zhao Zhi from Europe. Although they were all restored by Jewish technicians, the armor of European tanks is much stronger than that of Japanese tanks, let alone It was a one-on-one fight, or a one-on-two-on-three fight. Eisenberg's 2nd Armored Division was not afraid of the Japanese, not to mention that the Japanese in Jiaodong did not have that many tanks.
"The plane is a Japanese fighter plane." Eisenberg's observation sentry shouted loudly. After entering Shandong, the 2nd Armored Division found Japanese fighter planes along the way. However, Eisenberg had a solution. He had already After finding a way to deal with it, the long-formed Second Armored Division stopped. Many people jumped out of the tanks, armored vehicles and trucks. The vehicles produced by Kunming Arsenal were very convenient to carry in disguise, but after a minute or two, Eisenberg's 2nd Armored Division disappeared from the road.
The large-caliber Browning heavy machine gun equipped with a high and low gun mount has raised its muzzle and is ready to fire at any time. The khaki camouflage of the Second Armored Division cannot erase these tanks, armored vehicles and trucks from the horizon, as long as Japanese fighter planes flying at low altitudes would be sure to spot the Second Armored Division on the road, so at this time, Eisenberg would always order his heavy machine guns to be ready for air-to-air shooting.
Eisenberg, who was holding a telescope, looked at his watch anxiously. This was the third time today that he encountered Japanese fighter planes. If Japanese fighter planes continued to appear so frequently, the moving speed of the Second Armored Division would inevitably increase. Affected, after half an hour of intense preparations, the Japanese fighter planes hovering in the sky were gradually transported away. Fortunately, the Japanese fighter planes did not fly at low altitude, otherwise they would definitely find the Second Armored Division on the road. "It seems that they need to ask the boss for help." "Eisenberg sighed and called his radio soldiers.
Shooting in the air with heavy machine guns equipped with high and low gun mounts is not the best way to deal with Japanese fighter planes. The best way to deal with Japanese fighter planes is to fight against fighter planes. Thunder also has a fighter force, and now the Thunder fighter force has almost It has become synonymous with the Thunder's powerful combat power. With more than 300 fighter planes of various types, the Japanese army cannot underestimate it. "Commander, the headquarters called back and asked us to stop marching to Jiaozhou and immediately turn north to Pingdu. There will be fighters after Pingdu changes hands." Troops move to help fight!"
Eisenberg's original direction was Jiaozhou, and then Qingdao, but not only were Japanese fighter jets stationed in Qingdao, but Japanese warships were also moored in Qingdao Port. Facing a salvo of large-caliber naval guns, Eisenberg was still No matter how powerful the armor of the tanks was, it was of no use, so Zhao Zhi ordered the Second Armored Division to go north to Pingdu to avoid the strong firepower of the Japanese army. After reading the map, Eisenberg could only look in the direction of Qingdao and sigh, standing on the battlefield. It is every soldier's dream to achieve great military exploits, and Eisenberg is certainly no exception.
After capturing Qingdao, Eisenberg can go straight to Weihai along Jimo, Haiyang, and Rushan. By the time the infantry troops that follow up arrive at Weihai, Eisenberg has already reached Yantai and can capture it in one go. Most of all the targets in Jiaodong, what a great achievement, not to mention within the Thunder, even in the entire Chinese theater, he Eisenberg was also the first to do it. Unfortunately, the damn Japanese fighter force destroyed his own This dream, "Order the troops to go north to Pingdu and set off immediately." The order to turn to Pingdu came almost word by word from Eisenberg's gritted teeth.
Tactical adjustments often occur in actual combat, especially the combat plans formulated by Zhao Zhi. Eisenberg and other Thunder officers have long been accustomed to tactical adjustments, and facts have proven that it is precisely because of Zhao Zhi. Zhi's tactical adjustments allowed Thunder to avoid many unnecessary casualties. If Eisenberg still attacked Qingdao according to the original battle plan, he would definitely be bombarded by Japanese fighter jets and naval guns, even if If he can capture Qingdao, I am afraid that the Second Armored Division will also be crippled by the Japanese army.
Eisenberg was ordered to go north to Pingdu, the Burmese troops from Zhucheng had also moved south to Jiaonan, and the troops from Weifang had mobilized troops to go north to Changyi. Zhao Zhi's arrangement was very simple. Regardless of whether Okamura Neiji mobilized troops to invade, he had to do it in the shortest possible time. Within a short period of time, the gate of the Jiaodong Peninsula was sealed, so that the Japanese and puppet troops in Jiaodong and the Japanese and puppet troops in North and Central China lost land contact. The ** in Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi prepared a posture to attack Hebei under Chiang Kai-shek's instructions. I believe Okamura When Ningci dealt with Zhao Zhi, he must also consider the threat of the enemy.
The current situation has gradually become clearer. The feeling of dire straits that Zhao Zhi had when he was in Shanxi is gone forever. "Notify Yu Dazhi that the tens of thousands of Burmese mercenaries who have rushed to Sichuan are diverted to Shaanxi and into Henan." Zhao Zhi put the table on the table. The map he read was almost ruined, and finally he ordered the 10,000 Burmese reserve troops led by Yu Dazhi to enter Henan in advance. With the prosthetic limbs customized from the United States, Yu Dazhi can now stand up and walk freely. After being able to walk and jump, he left Myanmar's defense to Mo Lun and Luo Lin, and secretly took hundreds of mercenaries to sneak into the Myanmar mercenaries. By the time Zhao Zhi learned about this, Yu Dazhi had already brought The Myanmar reserve army has entered Sichuan.
Henan is the key to whether we can hold the Jiaodong Peninsula. The Japanese troops in Henan are scattered. Zhao Zhi wants Yu Dazhi to bring the 10,000 Burmese reserve army into Henan. He is planning to build a control area in Henan and open up Shandong. With the land connection between Henan and Shaanxi, Zhao Zhi controlled the entire Central China region and set up his headquarters in Peiping. Even though Okamura Neiji was a shitty commander-in-chief of the Japanese invaders, he probably had to take a plane if he wanted to go to South China. He also prayed to God to protect his landline from being shot down by thunder.
