Kyushu Island was shattered because of the arrival of Zhao Zhi, "the first Japanese soldier in the world, the first Japanese Kyushu soldier", this is a sentence widely spread in the Japanese army, the 6th Division with the most blood debts in the Nanjing Massacre is Kumamoto formed in Kyushu, Japan, Kumamoto is poor and the people are fond of fighting, and men often take the army as a way out. However, the Kumamoto Division, which had great achievements in the past, had been annihilated by Zhao Zhi in Burma, and the current Sixth Division was just a rebuilt alternative division, and the reorganized Sixth Division was the one who came to Kyushu Island to fight against Zhao Zhi this time.

In order to avoid a recurrence of the situation of "Japan's No. 1 Kyushu soldiers", the officers commanding the mixed troops privately received Zhao Zhi's order to kill all the men and women in Kumamoto Prefecture, including children over the age of two. In the face of hundreds of thousands of murderous mixed soldiers, no matter how brave the men of Kumamoto County were, it was useless, and the beastly nature of the Sixth Division in Nanjing, the mixed soldiers under Zhao Zhi also tied the hands of the citizens of Kumamoto Prefecture with straw ropes, and every 300 people were connected together by straw ropes, and ten long ropes were lined up into a phalanx.

In order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, the officer commanding the mixed unit directly ordered that no living mouth should be left alive, and there was no need for Lang Fei bullets, and those mixed soldiers who could not bear the murderous intent were stabbed with bayonets, and no living creatures appeared in the entire Kumamoto Prefecture. No one said that Zhao Zhi's methods were vicious and fierce, this is what Japan owes to the Chinese, for the sake of the tens of millions of civilian compatriots who died at the guns of the Japanese army, killing all the Japanese in Kumamoto Prefecture is nothing, if this matter is really to be discussed, perhaps these lives in Kumamoto Prefecture can only be regarded as interest paid to the Chinese in advance.

In addition to the Japanese on Kyushu Island, it is the soldiers under Zhao Zhi, he is not worried that anyone will talk about this matter at all, and the Western countries are now inseparable and difficult to take care of themselves, where is there time to run to condemn Zhao Zhi's vicious behavior, maybe the Americans will secretly agree with Zhao Zhi's actions. "Sir, it has been figured out that in front of us is the newly built 6th Division of Japan, on the left flank is the 20th Division withdrawn from Australia, and there is also a tank division on the island of Honshu that is being assembled, I believe that these two infantry divisions are now standing still, and they should be waiting for that tank division to come to help in the battle."

The Kumamoto Division, known as the "No. 1 Japanese Army," was annihilated in Burma by Zhao Zhi, causing an uproar in Japan, and later, at the suggestion of the Cabinet, the Emperor agreed to the request for the rebuilding of the Sixth Division. Now facing Zhao Zhi's defense line is the rebuilt Sixth Division, although its number remains the same, but the original establishment has shrunk greatly. The 6th Division, which once had a quadruple formation of 25,000 men, is now nothing more than a non-influential division with a full strength of 14,000 men, and except for those officers with combat experience at the rank of adjutant and above, the remaining soldiers and officers are only new soldiers recruited from Kitakyushu.

After almost two years of training, these newcomers should have been trained to become qualified soldiers, but unfortunately, the resources of the Japanese mainland have always been closely related to the supply of front-line troops, and the newly built Sixth Division that remained in China could only tinker with those dilapidated obsolete weapons and equipment in the training camp. There was no field artillery wing equipped with the original Sixth Division, and there was no rapid-fire artillery formation, and they were not even equipped with machine guns, if they hadn't been transferred to confront the mixed troops under Zhao Zhi this time, maybe even the bullets on the soldiers would have been insufficient.

The 20th Division, which was placed on Zhao Zhi's left flank, seemed to be in a better situation, and when it was first sent to explore Australia, the 20th Division had a good time, and then the British suddenly turned their faces in order to gain the support of the Americans. Fortunately, the British did not want to turn against Japan and make enemies everywhere, but only politely urged the 20th Division to leave Australia, and the 20th Division, which was not angry, naturally would not be so easy to speak.

The disgraced 20th Division was directly transferred back to the mainland as a defense force, and by the way trained those recruited reserve soldiers, perhaps they were the Japanese who really welcomed Thunder's landing on Kyushu Island, because the appearance of Zhao Zhi and Thunder reminded the Japanese base camp of them, otherwise the entire 20th Division could only be thrown in the corner by the base camp and wait for it to rot. "The guests are already here, so we can't be too stingy, arrange a mixed army to go over and say hello to the guests in the evening." Zhao Zhi would not be stupid enough to directly send his own mercenary troops to fight tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and a mixed army that is good at cold weapons is just a good choice.

The Japanese government not only blocked the news of Thunder's landing on Kyushu Island from the outside world, but also blocked the news of the Sixth Division and the 20th Division, and the order to them only said that a branch of troops had crossed the sea from Jiaodong to Kyushu Island, so the two divisions waiting for the tank division to arrive did not have much pressure, especially the 20th Division wanted to wave its troops alone to meet the battle. If it weren't for the tight pressure on the base camp, perhaps the 20th Division would have taken the initiative to attack Zhao Zhi's defensive line, and in their eyes, the Chinese army would be vulnerable.

The time when the melee broke out between the two sides occurred at dawn, and at the moment when the sky brightened, the mixed troops who rushed into the defense line of the 20th Division took advantage of the darkness of the night to be discovered. The mixed soldiers covered in mud began to be regarded as mandrill demons by the soldiers of the 20th Division, and after being chopped with long knives and bows and arrows, the 20th Division finally broke out its combat power and mixed troops mixed together, and the duel between cold weapons and hot weapons broke out in the early morning. In the face of the rain of bullets fired by the 20th Division, the mixed soldiers wielding long knives did not cover or dodge at all, but just howled and swarmed up, and under the crushing of the absolute force, the 20th Division had no choice but to ask the Sixth Division for help.

The one-to-three battle loss made Zhao Zhi not feel burdened at all, although the casualties of the 20,000 casualties of the mixed troops were only exchanged for less than 7,000 casualties of the other party, but Zhao Zhi didn't care, he had 400,000 mixed troops on Kyushu Island, if it was a one-to-three battle loss every time, then Zhao Zhi would take advantage of it. The other side is just two pure infantry divisions without heavy artillery coordination, but he not only has fighter troops in his hands, but also large-caliber coastal defense artillery dismantled from Nagasaki Port to help in the battle, even if the Japanese army base camp transfers two more divisions to attack him, Zhao Zhi is not afraid.

One morning after the night attack, Zhao Zhi organized several air raids against the 20th Division, and the strength of Zhao Zhi's side made the 20th Division and the Sixth Division facing him feel very bad. In their experience of fighting with the Chinese troops, they had never encountered such a strong firepower, and while worrying about the safety of their own divisions, they also began to frequently contact the Japanese base camp to ask for the other party's intelligence and related information.

Before the tank divisions arrived at the area where the two sides were fighting, it was not the 20th Division and the 6th Division that sang the leading role, nor the mixed units with murderous hearts, but sniper units that arrived from the mountain training camp in northern Burma by transport planes for actual combat training. Zhang Jinquan is the best one in the whole Thunder marksmanship after Ye Kong, more than 10,000 reserve mercenaries in the northern Burma mountain training camp have received sniper training, and the snipers who came to Kyushu Island by transport plane for actual combat training are 500 people trained by Zhang Jinquan himself.

According to the establishment formulated by Zhao Zhi in advance, every five snipers are a squad, two snipers who use a new magazine to feed sniper rifles are the main marksman, each main shooter is equipped with an observer and ammunition man, the observer is equipped with a submachine gun as a melee supplementary firepower, and the last person in the squad is equipped with a 50mm grenadier and pistol, and is responsible for the walkie-talkie in the squad to become the communication soldier of the squad. The squad of snipers has been affirmed by the training camp instructor team, and compared to five snipers who are scattered and fighting independently, snipers who fight in a squad situation can exert their combat effectiveness better while ensuring the safety of themselves and their companions.

The 500 snipers brought by Zhang Jinquan were divided into 100 squads according to the squad structure, scattered on a front 6 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide. At the end of the melee, the mixed troops were ordered to retreat and give up the battlefield to the Japanese army, and as the bombardment of the fighter units began, the snipers trained by Zhang Jinquan began to exert their might.

The use of silencers for large-scale positional warfare is the first of its kind for Thunder, and although the sniper rifle with the silencer has a shorter range, the killing effect is still the same as before, and the stealth has become stronger. Although the effective firing range of the 38 rifle equipped by the Japanese army is more than 400 meters, any shooter cannot hit a distance of 400 meters with a bolt-action rifle such as the 38 rifle, and it is already the limit distance of a veteran shooter of the Japanese army to shoot at a target 150 meters away.

Although the snipers of the Thunder have installed a silencer on the sniper rifle that affects the firing range, they can still easily hit the target 300 meters away, and the silencer cannot completely block the gunfire emitted by the sniper rifle when firing, but if it is more than 300 meters away after using the silencer, it is impossible for the Japanese to hear it. Although the 20th Division was equipped with mountain artillery, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers operating these heavy weapons could not find the position of the snipers at all, so they could only be beaten.

The frequent casualties caused by the inability to find the attackers and the gunfire made the soldiers on the forward defense line of the 20th Division very nervous, and the anxious 20th Division immediately began to shell the front of the position, and they set the range of the artillery attack according to the maximum range of the rifle range. Unfortunately, not only was the artillery attack not effective, but it also attracted bombardment by the Thunder fighter unit, and a series of fire and smoke rose up, and the position of the mountain artillery wing of the 20th Division and a large area around it were engulfed in flames.
