Knowing that the 23rd Division had been routed and almost completely wiped out by the Thunder, Okamura Ninji, who was stranded in Tokyo, could not sit still, although Okamura Ninji had not yet received a definite battle report, but he had already expected that the situation he was about to face would be very bad. Thunder let the North Korean division that landed in Kitakyushu Bay ignore it, but first hit the 23rd Division that landed in Hakata Bay, which Okamura Ninji never expected, in his plan, the North Korean division that landed in Kitakyushu Bay was simply a bait, a bait to lure Zhao Zhi to shift his focus to Kitakyushu, but the other party did not seem to be fooled.

"The Fourth Division is fighting fiercely with the intercepted enemy, and the original plan of march cannot guarantee that it will arrive on time" After reading the battle report sent by the Fourth Division, Okamura Ningji laughed angrily, the damn Kwantung Army would actually send the Nest Waste Division back to Kyushu Island, do these guys want to see how much destructive power Zhao Zhi has? Zhao Zhi's troops have already defeated several Japanese divisions, and now Zhao Zhi has given Okamura Ningji another feeling, that Zhao Zhi, who can only play small actions in Hebei, is now more like a qualified commander, and a difficult commander to deal with.

Although Zhao Zhi's current tactics and tactics have begun to favor large-scale operations, the raid tactics commanded by Zhao Zhi in Hebei at the beginning left a deep impression on Okamura Ninji, so while dispatching reserve troops from Honshu Island to Kyushu Island to rescue, Okamura Ninji also asked Emperor Ninji to ask for another conscription to form a local defense force. In Okamura's plan, more than 300,000 troops will be recruited into the Japanese homeland, and these defense units will be mainly used for the daily defense of various seaports and military industrial centers in the Japanese mainland, in order to prevent the small infiltration force of Thunder from sabotaging Japan's military industry and ports.

Okamura Ningji was not afraid of Zhao Zhi and him facing him to fight a positional battle, but he was afraid of the infiltration troops of Thunder that would rush hundreds of miles at every turn, and in the face of a small infiltration force of dozens or dozens of people, Okamura Ningji did not have the elite who could fight against him at all. "Damn the Ministry of Defense, if they didn't have to put the special forces training camp on Kyushu Island, we could also carry out a rush operation against Zhao Zhi now." The special forces training camp in Okamura Ninji's mouth is a special training school that trains the Mashiko Advance Team, which once successfully raided the Taihang base of the Eighth Route Army in 42 years and almost strangled Peng Dehuai, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army.

The special training school was originally located on the island of Honshu, but after 42 years, it was moved to Kyushu Island by the Ministry of Defense and placed together with the sniper training camp. No one could have imagined that a year later, Zhao Zhi suddenly landed on Kyushu Island with his troops, and the special schools and sniper training camps that the Japanese War Department had poured a lot of effort into were all destroyed under the bombardment of thunderous aerial bombs, and those cadets who were lucky enough to escape the bombing could not escape the pursuit of the thunder mercenaries.

Of course, Zhao Zhi didn't know that Okamura Ninji was racking his brains for the other party, but he had already learned about Okamura Ninji's plan to recruit troops to strengthen the defense of ports and military industrial areas. Of course, Zhao Zhi wished that Okamura would continue to recruit soldiers, and the more soldiers were sent to coastal ports and military factories, the weaker the defense forces in the hinterland of Honshu Island would be.

Zhao Zhi also thought about concentrating the forces of the infiltrator troops to carry out riots on Honshu Island, but less than thirty percent of the thousands of infiltrators who were secretly sent to the Japanese mainland at the beginning are now left, and these hard-working dead soldiers should be used in the right place, rather than useless Lang Fei in the auxiliary operation of throwing a few bombs and lighting a few fires. "Don't be in a hurry about this matter first, our main task now is the 12th Division, and if the 12th Division is defeated, the mixed troops in Kitakyushu will have the possibility of withstanding the attack of the North Korean Division." Zhao Zhi looked around at the staff officers under him, and the large map was already full of colorful arrows and dot circles.

"Our fishing tactics don't work now, which shows that the 12th Division has learned smartly, but it's a pity that they have forgotten who is the master and who is the apprentice, we have consumed 30% of their troops with fishing tactics, if the 12th Division really wants to shrink the troops and put on a hedgehog formation to continue to advance, then we can fight with them." The Thor machine gun shined in the operation to defeat the 23rd Division, and the kind of elusive salvo was a nightmare for all infantrymen, and no one would think that the 12th Division could withstand the cluster fire of the Thor machine gun.

"No, no." The staff officer in charge of logistics and supply shook his head like a drum, "I told you last time, we don't have much ammunition to transport from warships and airplanes, and the Japanese are now controlling air superiority, if our transport planes can't be airdropped next week, our people are afraid that they will have to exchange fire with the Japanese army with 38 rifles, and we don't want to save some bullets at this time, what should we do when we really fight with the Japanese army?" ”

From the first day before landing on Kyushu Island, the supply of materials has been a problem that has plagued Zhao Zhi, the mercenaries are used to weapons and equipment now, if they want to switch to Japanese weapons to fight, the combat effectiveness is bound to drop significantly, and it will also leave an opportunity for the Japanese army to take advantage of, Zhao Zhi does not want to do this. "Don't think about the melee with the 12th Division, after all, our troops are not as many as theirs, so we still use our own advantages to fight a quick battle with the Japanese army, and if we find an opportunity, we will shoot, and we will leave without leaving a chance for the other party with one blow."

The mercenaries who intercepted the 12th Division have been increased to 3,000 by Zhao Zhi, and these mercenaries are formed into a team of 30 people, specifically cruising around the 12th Division, sniping attacks, mines, artillery bombardment, and night attacks. The sniper rifle with the silencer unscrewed can easily hit a target 500 meters away, such a distance can only be attacked unless it is an artillery shell of more than 80 mm caliber from the opponent, but the snipers are moving at any time, and the counterattack effect of the mortars of the 12th division is not very good.

The 12th Division also organized veterans to go out to kill the mercenaries who attacked them, but they did not face soldiers in the regular troops, they were all soldiers trained in the mountains and forests of Burma and the battlefields of blood and fire. The 12th Division successively sent several groups of veterans to take up the search mission, but unfortunately most of them were killed by mercenaries in the wilderness, and those who escaped back also collapsed several times, and finally the 12th Division had to call the reconnaissance plane to take off every day to serve as a reconnaissance and search on the front road, and the 12th Division could only assemble and march like the 23rd Division.

The 12th Division had to assemble and march in order to protect itself, but their mistaken actions made the mercenaries who intercepted them unrecruited, and the mercenaries scattered in small teams had nowhere to say anything about the 12th Division assembled and marched, seeing that the 12th Division was getting closer and closer to Koga, the staff officers under Zhao Zhi began to frown. Zhao Zhi's mixed troops drawn from southern Kyushu had not yet arrived in Naokata, and if the Korean divisions that were fighting in the mixed forces of Kitakyushu at this time divided their troops and marched to Fukuoka Prefecture, the Japanese army would have a chance to control the entire northern Kyushu, and such a situation would definitely be the worst thing for Thunder.

"You just let them come together, one is also a fight, and two are also fights, and it is not a good thing for us to be together, at least our backs are clean." If the 12th Division and the southbound Korean Division converge in Kitakyushu, Zhao Zhi would lose control of Kitakyushu at most, and the rest of Kyushu Island would still be under the control of Thunder. After the convergence, the strength of the Japanese army will reach the size of three divisions, so many troops are gathered in Kitakyushu, and the daily supplies consumed by these troops are enough to drink a pot on the island of Honshu, and the thunder, who is good at guerrilla tactics, can afford to spend with them.

The 3,000 mercenaries who were ordered to intercept the 12th Division were depressed, and the orders from above changed three times a day, and in the morning they said that they would do their best to intercept the northbound troops of the 12th Division, and now it was just past lunchtime, but the order they received became to get out of the way to the north, and to harass the 12th Division along the way. An order is an order, this is an immutable law, and the first rule of the mercenary code is to obey the order, and no longer bother Baal to intercept the 12th Division, but it allows the mercenaries to free up their hands to increase the intensity of the attack on the 12th Division.

The 12th Division was attacked by more than 100 attacks every day, even at night, and when the exhausted soldiers of the 12th Division saw Koga from afar, most of them fell to their knees and wept. The non-stop attacks along the way have made them all the rage, a gunshot or the explosion of a grenade will make them terrified, the soldiers who serve as night guards can only gather a dozen people to patrol the camp, dare to act alone will definitely be attacked and killed by the other party, no one knows how the other party found those secret sentinels in the dark night when they can't see their fingers.

"Sir, there's news of Zhang Hua." Knowing that the 12th Division had finally arrived in Koga, Zhao Zhi stayed alone in the headquarters fiddling with the map full of arrows. For the whole morning, Zhao Zhi was silent, and it was not until his intelligence staff officers hurried into the headquarters to send a telegram that Zhao Zhi's face improved.

Zhang Hua is a figure who sees the head and the end of the dragon in the mercenary army, except for Zhao Zhi and a few people close to him, only Zhao Zhi's intelligence staff officer has seen Zhang Hua. All the information involving Zhang Hua was handled by the intelligence staff officers alone, and all the information would be burned on the spot after being read by Zhao Zhi, and the staff officers and mercenary officers under Zhao Zhi only knew that Zhang Hua was commanding a mercenary force alone, and he only accepted Zhao Zhi's direct command. It wasn't until after the Thunder defeated the 6th and 22nd Divisions that Zhao Zhi announced Zhang Hua's mission, and Zhang Hua's team, who was proficient in Japanese, had already infiltrated the scattered Japanese army and entered Honshu Island.
