"Sir, this is the Japanese army code book sent by Tang Lei from the Donghu front, our people have already seen it and are sure it is true." Luo Ying, who was surprised, didn't care about Zhao Zhizheng's sand table deduction with his combat staff officers, and shouted as soon as he pushed open the door of the war room. The Japanese codebook, this is a good thing, especially now that Thunder is fighting with the Japanese army between the two armies, this newly captured Japanese codebook is particularly important.

"Who else knows about this thing but you?" Zhao Zhi's first reaction when he took the codebook was that he had to control the scope of knowledge about this matter. Although Zhao Zhi's surroundings are all people who know the roots or foreign mercenaries with European faces, he can't guarantee that there will be no Japanese agents who infiltrate Thunder under the guise of Chinese mercenaries to spy on intelligence, so Thunder must block the news about the matter of obtaining the Japanese codebook.

"The thing was sent to me by Tang Lei, and it was Mrs. Krum from the telecommunications room who called Krum to confirm the authenticity of the codebook, and only Mrs., me and Krum knew about it." Luo Ying swept around the dozen or so combat staff officers in the war room out of the corner of his eye, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to count the people in your room now, sir, did I do something wrong?" ”

"Don't be so frizzy in the future, you don't care about this, I'll deal with it." These combat staff officers around Zhao Zhi were specially selected from among the mercenaries and Jews, and Zhao Zhi was not worried about these people's loyalty to Thunder and himself at all. Interests are the best guarantee, not to mention the mercenaries, those Jewish staff officers turned out to be people who had experience in leading troops in Europe, and only Thunder could give them a chance to realize their dreams again, so Zhao Zhi was not worried that they would do things that would damage Thunder's interests.

The acquisition of the codebook gave Zhao Zhi the idea of wanting to adjust his tactics, and having the codebook was equivalent to the guarantee of a great victory over the Japanese army by Thunder, and the operational staff officers under Zhao Zhi naturally had the same idea. "The Japanese troops repelled by the Donghu defense line are their 15th division, according to the information we have obtained, the Japanese troops who attacked this time should be about 400,000, but in all our positions, only Donghu and the Japanese army have exchanged fire, and the Japanese army is now blockading southern Burma very strongly, and the intelligence officers we arranged in Yangon cannot continue to transmit relevant information." Zhao Zhi's staff officers who were responsible for summarizing intelligence were a little helpless about the strangeness of the Japanese army.

"Don't just rely on our intelligence officers, the Japanese army has blockaded southern Burma so badly, if our intelligence officers are allowed to transmit information rashly, it will definitely bring danger." Zhao Zhi understood that the intelligence staff officer meant that he wanted the intelligence agent lurking in Yangon to find a way to relay the information, but Zhao Zhi did not agree with his idea. The intelligence agents lurking in southern Myanmar are all left behind voluntarily, they are all people who have contributed to the blood shed by thunder, Zhao Zhi can't let them risk passing on information, and besides, he already has the Japanese army's code book in his hand, and the information related to the Japanese army will naturally flow endlessly.

"Can we let Ringanqiang's troops go south, just to be able to connect with the Donghu defense line, even if the Japanese army attacks on a large scale, we can have more room for maneuver." The blue military flag indicating the deployment of Thunder's forces was moved from Ringang to Petty, where Thunder placed a Jewish army of 20,000 soldiers. If the Japanese army was not interested in Ringanqiang, then these 20,000 Jewish soldiers would all become idlers, and at this time, it would really not be in line with Thunder's battle plan to let a unit idle in Ringanqiang.

"If that is the case, will Taunggyi's troops be able to move south to Moltke? Our 100,000 troops stationed in three places separately can also ensure sufficient strength against the enemy, leaving 10,000 troops to serve as mobile troops, plus those militias we have recently recruited, northern Burma can be safe. Yu Sheng, who had served as a regimental combat staff officer in the Nationalist Army, simply moved the battle flag of Taunggyi to the south to Moltke's position.

"No, this is not good, let's put all our troops on the front line and resist the Japanese army, what if the Japanese army crosses the Burma-Vietnam border? The emptiness of the rear troops is a taboo for soldiers, and those militia units are not even equipped with enough weapons, once the Japanese army attacks, what will we do to fight the Japanese army? We can't move all our troops south, but at least we have to make sure that we have enough troops to defend northern Burma. Yu Sheng's plan did not win everyone's support, and the staff officers feared that the emptiness of the forces in northern Burma would give the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Didn't I say it, I will leave 10,000 troops in northern Myanmar as a mobile force, as long as there is a battle with the Japanese army, there will be capture, we can use the captured weapons to arm the militia units according to the old practice, even if the Japanese army crosses the border into northern Myanmar, as long as there are 20,000 troops stationed in northern Myanmar, northern Myanmar can be safe." Yu Sheng still insisted on his own arguments.

More than a dozen operational staff officers in the room were discussing feasible plans, but they couldn't reach an agreement, looking at the staff officers who were already fighting with a red face and a thick neck, Zhao Zhi didn't mean to stop it at all. It is a matter of victory or defeat in a battle, and it is good to have more controversy when making a battle plan, and only endless discussions can get the most correct answer. What's more, these combat staff officers in the room don't look at the noise at the moment, in fact, they are very good friends in private, and out of public disputes, Zhao Zhi will never say anything to stop them.

Seeing that the staff officers who had not reached an agreement after a long time of arguing had the intention of escalating the argument, Zhao Zhi, who was sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, had no choice but to reach out and knock on the table, "The idea of sending troops south to contain the Japanese army going north is good, but you all seem to have forgotten what our original intention was in entering Burma. It is good to occupy Burma, but after all, our Thunder is a mercenary company, and trustworthiness is the foundation of our world, so all our tactical adjustments must be carried out around the consumption of the Japanese army. ”

Zhao Zhi's words seemed to put a lot of pressure on the staff officers, and the silence in the war room, which was as noisy as a restaurant just now, instantly returned to silence, Zhao Zhi didn't mind a smile and continued, "Northern Myanmar is our business focus, and in two years, we can build this place into a paradise, so we must not let the Japanese army bring the flames of war to northern Burma, otherwise all the hard work we spent will be in vain." ”

"Come and see" Zhao Zhi took the baton and gathered the staff officers in front of the map, "We learned that the Japanese army was going to attack half a month ago, but until now, we have only exchanged fire with the Japanese army on the Donghu defensive line. We already know that there are a large number of Japanese troops resting in southern Burma, but unfortunately we do not know their exact number, and they have not shown up for a long time, this situation is obviously very abnormal, the Japanese army must be planning a big plan, a plan to get rid of our thunder once and for all. ”

"According to my inference, the Japanese army may probably follow their last plan of action this time." The baton in Zhao Zhi's hand fell on the position of Donghu, "The Japanese army still used their forces to contain our Donghu defenders first, so as to attract our attention, and then they made a detour to the north or directly crossed the Burma-Thailand or Burma-Vietnam border into northern Myanmar." As he spoke, Zhao Zhi's command had already moved to the position of Lashio, "The purpose of the Japanese army going north must be Lashio, and only by cutting off our connection with Kunming can the Japanese army complete the possibility of defeating us." ”

"This Japanese army is stupid enough, they won't revise their battle plan, but the 18th Division suffered a big loss in Lashio last time, so they are not afraid of ending up like the 18th Division?" Some staff officers were biting their ears in private, and they also wished that the Japanese army would repeat the old path of the 18th Division. Thunder has deployed 20,000 Jewish soldiers and 2,000 mercenaries in Taunggyi, and there are still storm troops in Lashio City who have never had the opportunity to fight.

Xu saw Zhao Zhi's thoughts, and Yu Sheng blinked his eyes and said, "Sir, do you mean that we take the initiative to let go of Taunggyi and put the main battlefield between us and the Japanese army on the front line of Lashio?" Yu Sheng's inquiry was nodded and acquiesced by Zhao Zhi, but this acquiescence surprised the staff officers. Lashio is the distribution hub of Thunder, and all the supplies and ammunition from the country, as well as the refugees who continue to be recruited, have to enter northern Myanmar through here, and if something goes wrong in Lashio, all of this created by Thunder will be mortally threatened.

"This time it wasn't our family that fought against the Japanese army, the Nationalist Government had already mobilized two armies to assemble on the front line of Wan Town to guard their gate. There are now 10,000 troops stationed in Lashio, as well as the Storm Force and the Qingfeng Force to assist in the defense, and I plan to send another 20,000 troops to Lashio to form a defensive line to intercept the Japanese troops moving north. Zhao Zhi's command fell heavily on the vacant area north of Taunggyi, "This will be the main battlefield of our decisive battle with the Japanese army, Joey's armored division has already moved south to Donghu, as long as we can be sure that the main force of the Japanese army is going north along Moltke, the armored division will immediately attack Moltke and go north, before the Japanese army cuts off our retreat, we cut off their back road." ”

Zhao Zhi's tactical adjustment analysis meeting lasted for a long time, and the guards guarding outside the war room were all replaced, and Zhao Zhi and the others came out of the war room exhausted. Compared with the exhaustion on their faces, the heat in everyone's eyes is their real psychological manifestation at the moment, Zhao Zhi's plan is a little bold, but after careful analysis, everyone believes that the feasibility of the implementation of this plan is very high, and the Japanese army who fell into this trap will never end well.
