Sun Zhi thought well. The Thunder mercenaries did come back, but their number was not very large, because Okamura Neji mobilized an army to block almost all the passages from Jiaodong to the interior. These Thunder mercenaries who sneaked into Hebei were all
It was Luo Lin who was sent from Burma. Okamura Neiji had been driven crazy by Zhao Zhi. After four consecutive Kwantung Army divisions went south to assist in the battle, Okamura Neiji deployed a large number of troops to besiege Hengshui, Xingtai and Handan.
Facing the menacing and powerful enemy, under the instruction of Zhao Zhi, Lei Lei and the Japanese troops who had already taken over the defense of these places began to deliberately shrink the defense line. Okamura Neji, who had taken back these places almost effortlessly, still wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
They won the pursuit, but the Kwantung Army divisions heading south were ordered to rush to the Nanyang battlefield to assist in the battle. They could not help Okamura Neji endlessly to deal with Zhao Zhi. In desperation, Okamura Neji had no choice but to mobilize heavy troops and stationed in Deyang.
Binzhou, Jinan and Linyi, and commanded the Japanese and puppet troops in these places to slowly move eastward, in an attempt to completely block Zhao Zhi on the Jiaodong Peninsula.
How could Zhao Zhi, who had not yet become obsessed with Jiaodong, give up here? After successfully landing the 74th Army, Zhao Zhian uncharacteristically stayed on the Jiaodong Peninsula and stood still. Jiaodong is a big place, and the Eighth Route Army guerrillas did a good job in anti-Japanese propaganda.
The people here hate the Japanese, and the Thunder brand is still very effective. Zhao Zhi plans to recruit troops here. "Conscription of 100,000 soldiers? Boyuan, are you going to kill all the young men in Jiaodong?" Wang Yaowu originally thought that Zhao
It was enough for Zhi Zhi to recruit tens of thousands of soldiers, but Zhao Zhi did not expect that the number of soldiers recruited by Zhao Zhi was 100,000.
"Chairman Chiang Kai-shek once said that once the war breaks out, no matter who is in the country, north or south, old or young, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war." Zhao Zhi quoted Chiang Kai-shek's "Solid Statement on the Marco Polo Bridge Incident"
"Wang Yaowu is a staunch supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, so he naturally knows the source of this passage, but now the number of soldiers recruited by Zhao Zhi is 100,000. If it is the whole of Shandong, it is easy to say, this is Jiaodong, if you want to recruit 100,000 soldiers
I'm afraid it's not easy.
"General Wang, don't worry, my people will handle these matters. You only need to transfer some experienced officers and veterans from the 74th Army to prepare for the training of new recruits." Faced with Wang Yaowu's confusion, Zhao Zhi seemed to
Already confident. Most of the time, the army's recruitment is actually to recruit strong men. They usually pull people into the army by force, and the people will naturally be resistant. But this is not the case with Thunder's recruitment. The new recruits recruited by Thunder will first go through at least three
Months of targeted training, so that they won't even know how to defend against artillery when they go into battle against the enemy.
Secondly, Thunder is a well-known brand name. Thunder is the most capable of fighting. Following Thunder can kill the Japanese and avenge the Japanese. This is the consensus of many Chinese people. Moreover, Thunder is well-equipped and usually provides military pay and pensions for dead and injured.
Besides, the guerrillas developed by the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong have not left yet. Zhao Zhi believes that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army will definitely provide help for his recruitment. "Well, then I will wait for your good news, Boyuan." For Zhao Zhi
Wang Yaowu was quite unconvinced that Zhao Zhineng could recruit 100,000 new soldiers in Jiaodong.
Zhao Zhi dared to assure Wang Yaowu that he was well-founded. The military commanders had secretly started relevant missions in Jiaodong before Zhao Zhidong entered Jiaodong. Zhao Zhi had already known the population of Jiaodong, its distribution, and the ratio of young to strong.
"Tell Xie Hua and the others to start taking action. The training camp will first use the military camps left by the Japanese army to bring in those Imperial Army soldiers who surrendered to us. There are tens of thousands of them anyway." Zhao Zhi captured Jiaodong and not only annihilated this place
The Japanese army also received a large number of Imperial Army troops who surrendered on their own initiative. The Imperial Army troops who surrendered to Lei Lei alone numbered more than 30,000. Zhao Zhi would not feed them with food in vain.
It seems that Okamura Neiji has blocked Zhao Zhi in the Jiaodong Peninsula, but in fact Zhao Zhi is taking the opportunity to lie dormant. As soon as the time comes, the 74th Army will attack the Jiaodong Peninsula with force. Zhao Zhi is trapped in the Jiaodong Peninsula.
Jiaodong was temporarily unable to continue to implement the plan. Luo Lin, who had received the order, sent nearly a thousand mercenaries from Burma to quietly sneak into Hebei to prepare for the third large-scale raid. Zhao Zhiyou thought of contacting Chiang Kai-shek and inviting the top leaders of North and Central China.
The troops cooperated in fighting to attract the attention of Okamura Neiji, but the good and bad among the soldiers were mixed, and Zhao Zhi was afraid that Okamura Neiji would know his combat intentions, so he had to rely on mercenary troops and guerrillas.
Okamura Ningji mobilized heavy troops to besiege the Jiaodong Peninsula, so the troops he deployed in North and Central China were bound to be insufficient. The 300,000 Japanese reserve troops who became Chiang Kai-shek's new direct troops had also sneaked to the junction of Henan and Hebei. Once Zhao
Okamura Neiji was unmoved by Zhi's third harassment operation. The 300,000 Japanese reserve army, which had already prepared for the attack, would take advantage of their speed to occupy and take over Hebei, which had been disrupted by the harassment operation. I believe that Okamura
Neiji Murura will definitely have a big head.
Tang Lei was entrusted with the important task of leading the mercenary commander into Hebei by Luo Lin. This time he was fighting in his own country. Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops did not follow. Tang Lei was urgently transferred back from the Vietnam battlefield by Luo Lin.
He only brought along the 700 mercenaries that Yu Dazhi had left in Qinglongping and three military command action teams. The mission of the military command action team was to guide Tang Lei and others on their route and to connect with the guerrillas. Dai Li naturally wanted him to send them.
The three action teams can learn more from the Thunder Mercenary Force.
"The situation is not optimistic." Looking through the feedback from each team, the expressionless Tang Lei secretly muttered in his heart that Okamura Neji, a shameless Japanese devil, took advantage of the opportunity of the Kwantung Army troops to move south through Hebei.
, carried out continuous encirclement and suppression operations against the anti-Japanese armed forces in Hebei. Some of the guerrillas who carried out dispersed and lurking missions under Zhao Zhi's orders were encircled and suppressed by the Japanese army before they had time to evacuate. The four guerrilla groups around Dust Ji Mountain were all disabled. Sun Zhi
He was a sniper in one of the guerrilla groups.
The only thing that is indispensable for fighting behind enemy lines is the mass base. This is something Lei Lei has figured out after dealing with the Eighth Route Army. Without the local guerrillas, Tang Lei and the others will become outsiders. It is always Lei Lei's mercenaries who can fight again
, it is impossible for them to go without food or sleep, without supplies or intelligence support, and besides, they only have less than a thousand people. It is obviously impossible for them to turn Hebei upside down with just these few people.
The urgent need to delay was to find the guerrillas who had been dispersed and hidden. The three action teams assigned to Tang Lei by the military commander had all gone out to look for their respective contacts. Tang Lei also sent out mercenary teams to search everywhere, and the rescued
Sun Zhi was lucky enough to bump into one of the mercenary teams, and Tang Lei's temporary headquarters was temporarily placed in Huangzhuang. The Huangzhuang stronghold that Huang Yuquan believed to be captured by the main force of the Eighth Route Army also returned.
It’s Tang Lei.
Wang Hai, who was dubious, came anyway, and brought his Dashi Village guerrillas to Huangzhuang. Looking at the Huangzhuang stronghold with the Japanese plaster flag still hanging, and the "Japanese and puppet troops" disappearing and appearing inside and outside the stronghold, he still knew
The truth is that Wang Hai still couldn't help but tightly clutch the gun handle at his waist. This is probably the weirdest thing that Wang Hai and the guerrillas under him have ever experienced in their lives. The Dashi Village guerrillas carrying weapons were actually arrogant.
They were walking in front of the Huangzhuang stronghold where "Japanese and puppet troops" were scattered, and the "Japanese soldier" on the top of the gun tower frequently waved to Wang Hai and the others. If someone had seen this without knowing it, he would have thought that Huangzhuang had already completed the task.
True Sino-Japanese friendship.
"My mother, these people from Thunderbolt are so courageous. They didn't withdraw even after they defeated the Huangzhuang stronghold. They even dared to pretend to be Japanese soldiers and live here." I saw with my own eyes that the Huangzhuang stronghold intercepted three waves of incoming waves in one afternoon.
Regarding the grain transportation team in the county, Wang Hai, who was confused, now finally understood why this group of Thunder people occupied the Huangzhuang stronghold and refused to leave. It didn't matter whether they could intercept the grain. What was important was that the three waves of grain transportation teams contributed more than
50 rifles and 3 light machine guns, as well as the head of a Japanese major.
"Send someone to take the head of Major Onii, which was sent to the Japanese army in the county, and throw it far away at the city gate. But if you want to bring the message, tell them that Lei Lei invites them to fight. They can choose the place and time.
"Tang Lei's next order gave Wang Hai, who was immersed in joy, a cold war. He had heard of mobile warfare and ambush warfare with the Japanese army, but he had never heard of anyone taking the initiative to invite the Japanese army to fight, but Wang Hai
It's hard to stop him, because until now, Wang Hai, who entered Huangzhuang, hasn't figured out how many of this group of Thunder mercenaries are here.
"Idiot, that's a trick. Have you ever seen anyone who would be so stupid as to go to the place designated by the enemy to fight?" Huang Yuquan dragged Wang Hai to his home, asked his woman to boil the wine, and they got on the kang cross-legged.
Drinking and chatting with a plate of peanuts. "I think this commander of Thunder is very impressive. He has such a murderous spirit. I think even the Eighth Route Army Battalion Commander Zhu who stayed in Huangzhuang to recuperate last time can't compare with him."
"
Wang Hai was amused by Huang Yuquan's pretense of mystery, "But Battalion Commander Zhu is also a battalion commander after all, and he has hundreds of people in charge. The current one in Huangzhuang is far behind. I'm just looking at one.
It's afternoon, and I don't see how many people he has under his command. I think he's great, he's just a company commander or something."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Yuquan almost spit out the wine in his mouth. It was his turn to laugh at Wang Hai for his lack of eyesight, "I don't know how you became a guerrilla leader. I was there when he entered Zhuangzi yesterday.
, the battle just started at the stronghold gun tower, and a large number of people here suddenly surrounded our Huangzhuang. Do you think they had only one company of people, how could they have surrounded our Huangzhuang?
