The Japanese Government absolutely could not tolerate Zhao Zhi's move of burning the flames of war to his own doorstep, and less than three hours after the flotilla transporting the second batch of mixed troops to land on Kyushu Island left, Zhao Zhi received information from China, and the intelligence network of the military command had already detected the latest movements of the Kwantung Army, and the two fully equipped Kwantung Army divisions had completed their assembly and were about to go south to Shandong in the near future, and their purpose was Jiaodong.

"It seems that the Japanese are in a hurry, they want to cut off our back road directly, and then surround us to death on Jeju Island." Looking at the information sent by the striker commander, Zhao Zhi did not show much worry. The Kwantung Army going south was something he had thought of a long time ago, and the mobilization of the Second Jewish Army and the Second Armored Division to Chengde was to prepare for the Kwantung Army to go south, and the Green Forest Guerrilla Army cruising on the front line of Zhangjiakou was a mobile force prepared by Zhao Zhi to intercept the Kwantung Army.

At present, there are more than 500 guerrilla armed forces in Hebei, and it is obvious that the small guerrilla units cannot compete with the fully organized Kwantung Army units, but this does not mean that the guerrillas cannot fight with the black hands. If you can't do a head-to-head confrontation, then you are always good at destroying roads, railways, and telephone lines, and by the way, it should be possible to bury a few mines on the route of the Kwantung Army, as long as these things are done, the northbound troops mobilized by Zhao Zhi will definitely be able to intercept the southbound troops of the Kwantung Army in Hebei.

Even if the Jewish Second Army failed to stop the southward movement of the Kwantung Army in the end, there was still a hideous youth army in Shandong, plus Wang Yaowu's 74th Army was eyeing the sidelines, in Zhao Zhi's preparation plan, he did not look at the southbound troops of the Kwantung Army at all, because he knew that these southbound troops of the Kwantung Army would not be able to reach Jiaodong at all, unless the Kwantung Army headquarters could be willing to mobilize more than 6 divisions and regiments to go south to Shandong at one time, otherwise the Kwantung Army and the Japanese army base camp were daydreaming.

"Sir, this is information sent back by North Korea, and I just received it." Zhao Zhizheng and his staff officers discussed preparations for the attack on Kagoshima, and the intelligence staff officers, who had been guarding the telecommunications room, rushed into the command post with the information they had just received. After receiving Zhao Zhi's signal, the intelligence staff officer opened the telegram in his hand and read it out, "It is reported that a large number of planes will be transferred from the northeast to Gwangju in North Korea to assemble in the near future, and in addition, the Japanese defenders in Daegu and Pusan have also begun to shrink their forces and prepare to move west into Gwangju. ”

"Don't pay attention to them, although Gwangju is not too far from Jeju Island, but after all, there is still a sea in between, I don't believe that the Japanese army can directly parachute their troops to Jeju Island, and no matter how many ground troops are gathered in Gwangju, it will not work, and it will not play a role in the battle of Kyushu Island." Zhao Zhi said so on his lips, but in fact, he was already thinking about it in his heart. As the U.S. Seventh Fleet cruised along the Korean coastline, they found that the Japanese ships in Pusan had long since disappeared, and if the Korean Japanese really planned to make a desperate attempt to use ships to transport the troops assembled in Gwangju to carry out a landing attack on Jeju Island, it would definitely not be a good thing for the current situation.

Time, this is what Zhao Zhi lacks the most at present, Japan looks only a little bit on the map, but there is still a lot of depth that can be used in the actual war. Zhao Zhi originally wanted to use these depths to put the mixed troops into Japan to stir up the waters, but the Japanese guards on Kyushu Island took advantage of these depths to engage in a tug-of-war with the mixed troops. It's just that the mixed forces of the rabble rely on a large number of people to fight a melee, and if they really play a tug-of-war with the Japanese armed forces on Kyushu Island, they will definitely die ugly, which is also what Zhao Zhi is most anxious about at present.

"50,000 Burmese mercenaries from the Shandong Theater will be dispatched to Jiaodong to stand by, and the assembly in Jiaodong must be completed before the next fleet arrives in Nagasaki." The current situation forced Zhao Zhi to transfer Burmese mercenary troops from the Shandong Theater to help fight on Kyushu Island. The Burmese mercenaries using thermal weapons to enter Kyushu Island would definitely be a big help, and Zhao Zhi wanted to use them to fill the pressure on Kitakyushu, and holding Kitakyushu and Oita would be able to block the possibility of Japan's vain attempt to send troops to Kyushu Island through Honshu Island and Shikoku Island, unless they were willing to have another naval battle with the Seventh Fleet.

Although the ants are small, they can bite and kill elephants if they are numerous, and although Japan's combined fleet was defeated by the US Pacific Fleet, it does not mean that they will be completely wiped out and have no ability to fight; if the situation really reaches the point of no return, I believe that the Japanese government will desperately use all its naval forces to fight with the US fleet. But Zhao Zhi was not worried that the Seventh Fleet would be defeated, the signal for the start of Operation Purgatory had been issued, and the preparation time for the entire operation was four days, and during these four days, Zhao Zhi only had to wait quietly for the good news.

Japan's ports have always been a key target for infiltration by the infiltration of the infiltrat Layers of tarpaulin-wrapped time bombs, with a few large magnets, this is a crude magnetic time bomb, and the four days before Operation Purgatory begins is the time left for the sleepers to prepare the bombs, and they have to lock on to the target and place the bomb.

Perhaps the sleepers didn't have to use time bombs at all, they just had to detonate the bombs in the harbor, imagine if the harbor full of sunken ships could still get in and out of the ship, and without docks, even if the Japanese government mobilized a fleet from Korea, their ground troops would not be able to board the ships smoothly. By the time their reinforcements approached the waters of Kyushu Island by sea, perhaps Zhao Zhi had already driven most of the Japanese defenders on Kyushu Island into the sea to feed the fish.

"Zhao, is this your headquarters? God, this is just a broken cave, and you're still boasting in the telegram that your new headquarters is as good as the palace. Wesley, dressed in a U.S. military uniform, suddenly appeared in Zhao Zhi's headquarters, one of the many grandchildren of old Rhodes, and also a member of the Lockman family who was most familiar with Zhao Zhi when Zhao Zhi went to the United States, according to the relationship between Rowling and Wesley, Wesley should call Zhao Zhi his cousin-in-law.

"How did you come to Jeju Island? Rowling said, aren't you still in school at West Point? Zhao Zhi, who was full of surprise, stretched out his arms and hugged Wesley, and welcomed the arrival of this brother-in-law. Old Rhodes has always spared no effort in cultivating the younger generations of the family, Wesley is one of the third generation of the family who loves military affairs, and it is also the hope of the family that Old Rhodes is optimistic about being among the generals, Wesley, who should have studied at West Point, suddenly came to Jeju Island quietly, which had to make Zhao Zhi wake up.

"Not what you think." Wesley is not very old, but he is also a good person, he gave Zhao Zhi a suggestive look, and the two went out of the command post to find an empty place for a private chat. "That's what grandpa meant, you also know that I still have a year to graduate from West Point, according to the current situation, I'm afraid the war will be over by the time I graduate, so grandpa arranged for me to graduate from West Point early and come here to help you coordinate the liaison with the Philippine theater of operations, and by the way, mix up some military merits to improve your rank, you can't make me just a little lieutenant, right?"

Wesley's words made Zhao Zhi have to admire the old Rode, although the helmsman of Lockman rarely leaves Florida, but he has an extremely thorough grasp of the situation, it seems that the old Rod is also very optimistic about the situation of Japan's surrender before Germany, otherwise he would not have sent his favorite grandchildren to Jeju Island. "I brought you good things this time" Wesley took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zhi, who opened the envelope, and inside was a very neatly folded list.

"Great, you've got a big problem for me." Zhao Zhi was already very happy just by looking at the first few lines on the list, especially the last two lines of the list, which made Zhao Zhi ecstatic. "Has this new machine gun been tested in the laboratory?" The laboratory in Zhao Zhi's mouth is the weapon laboratory established in Florida at the beginning, and all the advanced weapons in Zhao Zhi's memory were developed and improved through this weapon laboratory, and then manufactured by the Rockman family's weapons arsenal in Florida.

"God, you're a madman, you don't know when you first tested this machine gun, the expressions of those weapons experts were all dumbfounded as if they had been blessed by God, I swear this is the best weapon I've ever seen, not even the Browning's large-caliber heavy machine gun." Wesley was full of praise for the new machine gun that appeared on the weapons list, and Zhao Zhi, who had a cigar in his mouth, was also very excited to learn that the new machine gun had been tested in the laboratory.

"Looks like I'm going to need to readjust my battle plan." After learning that the flotilla that would arrive later had loaded at least 300 of these new machine guns and a large amount of ammunition, Zhao Zhi pulled the confused Wesley back to the command post. "Immediately contact all our mercenary units on Kyushu Island to assemble to Kurume, and the second batch of mixed troops ashore will assemble on the front line of Yame and Tamana to build a defensive line, and from now on, all fighter units will start to stop bombing, and all of them will rest and wait for replenishment of ammunition."

Zhao Zhi's orders made his staff officers unclear, but they were all used to following Zhao Zhi's orders, and although they still had doubts in their hearts, no one questioned Zhao Zhi's orders. "In two days, you'll get the answer." Zhao Zhi casually dropped a sentence and left with Wesley, but the staff officers in the command post became even more confused.
