"Sir" Zhang Jinquan, who was standing straight in front of Zhao Zhi, had tears in his eyes, and behind him there were 400 straight sniper recruits who were also standing, Zhao Zhi's appearance at Qinglongping Airport was too sudden, making Zhang Jinquan a little unbelievable that this was true. After the encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese Sixth Division in Burma, Zhang Jinquan and Ye Kong met Qinglongping to train reserve snipers, Ye Kong was injured and returned to Mandalay to recuperate, so only Zhang Jinquan trained snipers alone, and most of the actual combat training made Zhang Jinquan, who was full of green face in the past, grow up rapidly, but this guy with a strong appearance misses his husband very much.

"Okay, our little Jinquan has grown up and can command 400 people to fight." Looking at Zhang Jinquan with tears in his eyes, Zhao Zhi stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Jinquan's shoulder vigorously, this little guy finally grew up. Zhang Zhi's praise made Zhang Jinquan return to his original youthful appearance, and the female soldiers brought by Rowling pointed at the side, which made Zhang Jinquan's dark face rise two suspicious reds.

"Sir, it's not 400, these 400 people are withdrawn to rest, and there are 400 people who are going north to cooperate in the battle." As soon as he talked about the snipers he commanded, Zhang Jinquan lost his youthfulness and spoke much more fluently. "Ye Zi and I recruited a total of 3,000 people, but after selection and training, only 1,200 people persisted in actual combat training. When Ye Zi returned to Myanmar, he took 400 people with him, and the remaining 800 people were on my side. ”

"Yes, one of the purposes of this time is to change your equipment, the new sniper rifle has a longer range and is more powerful than our previous one." Zhao Zhi called a female guard under Rowling, and handed the sniper rifle that the female soldier was carrying diagonally to Zhang Jinquan. There are more than 30 female guards under Rowling, and Zhao Zhi transferred 8 sniper rifles to form a sniper team for them, and the female soldier called by Zhao Zhi is the captain of their sniper team.

Zhang Jinquan, who took over the new sniper rifle, still cared about talking to Zhao Zhi, but just fiddled with the sniper rifle in his hand, if the range and bullet power were really increased as his husband said, then wouldn't the 800 snipers under his command be much stronger in combat effectiveness. "This gun is good, it works." After firing two magazines in a row, Zhao Zhi, who had been waiting for Zhang Jinquan to speak, only waited for six words, and it seems that Zhang Jinquan's habit of not liking to deal with people has not changed.

"Jin Quan, leave the matter of issuing guns to the people under your command to do, and you tell me about the battle on the front line." The crates unloaded from the transport plane were soon stacked up in a large area, and looking at Zhang Jinquan, who was busy before and after, Zhao Zhiqiang couldn't help but smile and called Zhang Jinquan to the jeep. Zhao Zhi's trip to Qinglongping was not just for the snipers under Zhang Jinquan to change their clothes, the real reason was that Chiang Kai-shek had already adopted Zhao Zhi's suggestion and was preparing to organize a large-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army in North China at the beginning of next month.

The abundance of troops made Zhao Zhi not worry about the Japanese army's counterattack on Burma, and the troops that had entered Thailand became the main force of the Thunder Campaign, but Zhao Zhi did not want to stimulate the Japanese army too much now, and in the southward plan he formulated, the forward troops of the Thunder would stop when they advanced to the line of Satun and Tao Gongfu. After occupying the entire territory of Thailand, sealing the border between Thailand and Malaysia became Thunder's top priority, and then he waved his troops eastward into Cambodia and Vietnam, and Zhao Zhi wanted to control the entire Gulf of Thailand in Thunder's hands.

Thunder's victory in Thailand stimulated more Jews, and in order to return to Jerusalem for a comfortable life, more and more Jewish patriarchs began to send their children to training camps, and the Jews needed their own arms, and Zhao Zhi was also given 300,000 Jewish reserves. If nothing else, the war in Thailand will come to an end this month, and Zhao Zhi does not have to worry about dealing with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia at all, and only the dozen or so operational staff officers who remain in Thailand can solve it, and in the next few months, Zhao Zhi's focus will be shifted to the domestic battlefield, which is also the suggestion of the US military coordination group.

The 300,000 Jewish reservists can only grow into the formidable warriors expected by the Jews after they have experienced the baptism of war, but the nearest battlefield to them is the South Asian battlefield except China. Zhao Zhi naturally didn't want to send the Jewish reserve army to the Philippines to die in vain, before the Jewish reserve army helped the US army fight, they still needed to sharpen themselves on the Chinese battlefield, and sending these rookies to the Philippines could only be sent to death. Out of his own selfishness, after discussing with the U.S. military coordination team, Zhao Zhi signed an order to mobilize the Jewish reserve army in batches to enter China for rotational warfare In Zhao Zhi's memory of his previous life, the U.S. military in World War II used the practice of rotational warfare to make the U.S. troops full of newcomers into a world-class strong army in just three years, if it were not for the U.S. military in World War II to accumulate a large number of veterans who had experienced the test of war, the United States after World War II would not have risen so quickly and become the role of an international policeman. Zhao Zhi didn't care about the careful thinking of the Jews, millions of Jews lived in China and Burma, Zhao Zhi did not believe that all Jews would choose to return to Jerusalem after the war, as long as one percent of the Jewish soldiers chose to stay in Thunder, Zhao Zhi thought that he was taking advantage of it.

There are also several big sand tables in the headquarters of Qinglongping Airport, which were made when Yu Dazhi was still here, and the front-line troops going north will send their locations and battle reports back every day, and the mercenary officers who stay in Qinglongping will mark the corresponding positions on the sand table and the map, so as long as people who can read the map and the sand table can know the route and specific location of the northbound troops at a glance. Qinglongping Airport is full of Thunder mercenary troops, and the Jewish guards assigned to the airport are only responsible for the outer defense of the airport, and Zhao Zhi doesn't need to leak secrets at all.

"Okay, everyone has already read the front-line battle report and sand table, let's talk about your opinions, and see how we should fight this battle." Following Zhao Zhi to Qinglongping is not only Rowling's female soldier escort team, but also more than a dozen combat staff officers brought by Zhao Zhi with him, and naturally the US military coordination team led by Roger is also there. Before leaving Chongqing, Zhao Zhi had already explained to his staff officers the cross-cutting offensive route from west to east, so these operational staff officers also considered the plan of cutting through Shandong to cut off the overall deployment of the Japanese army.

"According to the battle report of the front, the first corps of the Burmese mercenary army has advanced to the front line of Xingtai, and the second corps has also moved to the left of Liaocheng, can we start the Spark plan, use the Spark troops to contain the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, and then concentrate the Burmese First and Second Army Corps to take Jinan in one fell swoop, and at the same time order the Burmese Third Army to go north to Dezhou to block the Japanese puppet army troops in the south." One of Zhao Zhi's operational staff officers used his baton to outline his operational intentions on the map, but the other operational staff officers clearly did not agree with this plan.

"No, by all means, the Japanese army has deployed heavy troops in Hebei, once we rob Jinan, not only the Japanese puppet army in Hebei will move south, but the Japanese puppet army in Jiangsu and Anhui will also go north at the same time. At that time, our troops attacking Jinan will be attacked by the enemy, and this price is somewhat excessive, and we cannot afford to consume it now. ”

"Shouldn't it be" The staff officer holding the baton in his hand was a little unwilling to give up his plan, and argued urgently, "The Japanese puppet army in Hebei is contained by the Spark troops, they should not be able to free up their hands to go south, as for the Japanese puppet army in Anhui and Jiangsu going north, there is no need to worry, the depth of Shandong alone is enough for them to toss on the road." If it is because we are worried about the problem of Japanese reinforcements, then we can turn the attack into a siege point to send reinforcements, and draw out a part of the troops to carry out a feint attack on Jinan and Luzhong, and the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of Burma will ambush the Japanese puppet army troops who come to help, and then turn back to clean up the Jinan defenders after defeating the reinforcements. ”

"Well, it's a good way to turn the siege into a siege point, but you forgot that Shandong is close to the sea, and the Japanese army has been operating in Shandong for several years, so it is impossible for them to hide in the trenches and wait for your shells to smash over, we must be prepared to fight a vicious war, and we must think of all problems." Zhao Zhi never stopped the controversy of his staff officers, and a good battle plan was often produced in the controversy.

"You don't just want to focus on Shandong, you can try to make some articles in Hebei, the Japanese army has always wanted to run Hebei like an iron bucket, then we will make their iron bucket into a colander, see if they are busy filling the leak or going south to support Shandong." Zhao Zhi used his baton to draw a circle on the position of Hebei, "The code name of this operation is called Volcano, and the energy we have accumulated for two years will be completely brightened up by the Japanese, I want to turn the entire Hebei into a mess of porridge, I want to see if the Japanese iron bucket is powerful or my lava is powerful." ”

After two years of accumulation and development, the Spark troops scattered throughout Hebei have expanded to tens of thousands of people, and their weapons have exceeded two-thirds. Once the Shandong battle plan is decided, the Thunder fighter unit waiting at the Shanxi Hebei border airfield will drop a large number of weapons and equipment into the area controlled by the Xinghuo unit, and Zhao Zhi believes that these Tinder fighters, who have been waiting for two years, will never let him down.

Compared with the regular elite Nationalist troops, the Spark troops active in Hebei may not be on the table, but when it comes to the experience of fighting behind enemy lines, the regular troops that are good at positional operations are no match for them. As long as Zhao Zhi's combat expectations can be achieved, it is cost-effective to sacrifice the entire Spark troops, but Chiang Kai-shek also believes that Zhao Zhi will not fight the entire Spark troops, after all, it is a unit trained by Zhao Zhi.
