Chapter 60: A Tooth for a Tooth
"I just received the news that the 13th Infantry Wing, the forward unit of the Sixth Division, used poison gas bombs, and our three infiltrator units and 1,000 Burmese guerrillas were all killed, and the bodies were hung by the Japanese soldiers from trees along the highway for a violent demonstration" Zhao Zhi's slightly dull voice was obviously full of murderous intent. The infiltrator troops carried too much of Zhao Zhi's hard work, even in the Taiyuan Campaign, Zhao Zhi fought so hard, and did not send the infiltrator troops to fight the Japanese army, only a few days after they were released, three infiltrator squads were killed at the same time, and Zhao Zhi's heart could not be calmed.
In the early days on the domestic battlefield, the Japanese army relied on their poison gas bombs to break through countless positions and defensive lines of the national army that caused them heavy casualties, do they still want to use the same method in Burma now? "This time it was our own mistake, in order to carry the maximum amount of ammunition, the three infiltrator squads that had the accident did not carry gas masks according to the regulations, so they fell for the tricks of the Japanese army" Luo Ying has a detailed battle report in his hand, and naturally knows a lot about the whole thing.
"It's not good, then the weapons and equipment we issued to the infiltrator troops were not intercepted by the Japanese army" Xiao Ziyun's mind was far clearer than the other staff officers, and when the others were still gritting their teeth and shouting for bloodbathing the 13th Wing, he thought of the new weapons and equipment issued to the infiltrator troops. There are too many secrets of Thunder on the body of the infiltrator troops, smoke grenades, flashbangs, silencers, semi-automatic sniper rifles using magazines, bulletproof vests, camouflage military uniforms, these are all secrets of Thunder, if they are won by the Japanese army, Thunder's advantage will be lost.
Xiao Ziyun's reaction made Zhao Zhi secretly praise, fighting always kills people, the moment the infiltrator troops accepted the order to infiltrate Burma, each of them was ready to die in battle, Zhao Zhi's roar and anger just now was just angry at the shamelessness of the Japanese army. "Don't worry about the infiltrator's equipment, when it happened, a nearby infiltrator team rushed over, but unfortunately they could only take the equipment with them, because when they arrived at the place, all the people were already dead"
"Go find Tang Lei and come over, it's his turn to go out for a walk" The staff officers who were glad that there was no problem with the new equipment were stunned by Zhao Zhi's next decision. Like the infiltrator troops, after conquering Taiyuan City, Tang Lei separated from the mercenary force and formed another unit with the name Qingfeng. This unit, which is as mysterious as the infiltrator, has only been responsible for Zhao Zhi since the day it was formed, Xiao Ziyun knows some insiders, when the Qingfeng troops under the command of Tang Lei left Shanxi, they took away all the Nissan gas bombs seized from Pingyao and Taiyuan.
Tang Lei rushed to the headquarters, and all the people, including Luo Lin, were invited out of the headquarters, no one knew what Zhao Zhi and Tang Lei said in the headquarters, and the staff officers outside the door only knew that when Tang Lei left, he left with a strange smile on his face. "I sent Tang Lei's Qingfeng Brigade to find trouble with the 13th Wing" Reaching out to hug Rowling's waist, Zhao Zhi put his head on Rowling's shoulder a little tiredly, except that he was a traveler, Zhao Zhi never concealed all the things from Rowling, including the nature of the Qingfeng Force, Zhao Zhi believed that Rowling could understand himself.
"You're too tired, when this battle is over, I'll accompany you to find a place with mountains and rivers to rest for a while" Rowling tilted her head against Zhao Zhi's cheek and stroked Zhao Zhi's hand lovingly. From the day she met Zhao Zhi, this mysterious man gave her countless surprises and happiness, originally just an idle person in the Shanghai Concession, but in just four years, it has developed like this, Rowling believes that even her grandfather Old Rod may not be able to do it. It is not so much that Zhao Zhi relied on the power of the Rockman family to take root in the United States, but that the Rockman family relied on the power of Zhao Zhi to establish its influence in the US government.
"Okay, when this battle is over, I'll take you back to Florida to see Old Rod, let's go fishing at the beach" Zhao Zhi whispered to Rowling, the impatience just now has slowly dissipated, and the whole person looks a lot more relaxed. Feeling Zhao Zhi's ease, Luo Lin, who was nested in Zhao Zhi's arms, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the thunder carried the hopes of too many people, and Rowling didn't want to ruin the thunder because of an order from Zhao Zhi's hot head.
Zhao Zhi's mood had calmed down, but Xiao Ziyun, who was subordinate to the headquarters, couldn't sleep, because Tang Lei had left the headquarters for less than half an hour, and the Qingfeng troops under his command had already left Lashio. Except for Zhao Zhi, no one knew where the Qingfeng troops were going, but the officer in charge of military logistics provided a list of supplies to Xiao Ziyun, and when Tang Lei and they left Lashio, they only applied for 10 trucks and a small amount of food, but they didn't bring much ammunition for conventional operations, and Xiao Ziyun was confused by this matter.
Tang Lei is leaving Lashio with Qingfeng troops now, with only one purpose, that is, for the forward 13th Infantry Wing of the Sixth Division. But the number of the 13th Wing is more than 3,000 thousand, and Tang Lei's Qingfeng Brigade is only 240 people, even if you count the infiltrator troops and the Burmese guerrillas who are cruising near the Mandalay section of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Tang Lei's side does not have an advantage in the comparison of the strength of the two sides. Since they were going to fight, why did they only carry a small amount of ammunition, Xiao Ziyun and others spent a total of one night, and only came to one conclusion, the truck that Tang Lei applied for was not just for pulling soldiers, maybe they had other things to use to transport by truck.
Combined with the gossip that Xiao Ziyun obtained, the young staff officers came to a final conclusion that Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops were likely to be a poison gas attack force. A large number of poison gas bombs seized in Shanxi were not destroyed, but were taken over and transferred by Tang Lei, since the army crossed the river to fight, Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops have been an independent camp cruising outside the large army, without Zhao Zhi and Tang Lei's warrants, no one can enter the camp of the Qingfeng troops.
If the Qingfeng troops were special operations mercenary forces like the infiltrators, then the Qingfeng troops' camp would not need to be as tightly defended at all, unless the Qingfeng troops brought those poison gas bombs when they crossed the river. "The use of poison gas weapons on the battlefield is a violation of the Geneva Conventions, and will this attract condemnation and condemnation from the international community?" Xie Yuan, nicknamed the nerd, was stupid at the right time, this guy who is proficient in sand table making reads his head stupidly, and always speaks when he shouldn't speak.
"What kind of bullshit Geneva Convention, the little devils have used poison gas bombs in Songhu, Nanjing, and Xuzhou, why haven't we seen the international community condemn and condemn them?" Xiao Ziyun glared at his eyes and shouted in a low voice, "Mr. is right, the truth in this world is based on strength, the Japanese army has already used poison gas on us, why can't we use poison gas bombs to fight back, anyway, those poison gas bombs were also made by the Japanese themselves, and they are all marked in Japanese, does it have anything to do with our thunder?" ”
"That's right, those gas bombs were made by the Japanese themselves, and we in China don't have the ability to make gas bombs, even if some people can't bear to jump out and speak, they can't grasp the handle. If you annoy Mr., you will definitely give them a good look, if you have the ability, let's pull the soldiers out and do it openly, and see who is powerful" Xiao Ziyun is not the only one who is optimistic about the thunder, and Xiao Guangyuan, who can dance and speak, is a staunch pro-Zhao faction.
"I didn't say that it was wrong for Mr. to use poison gas bombs against the Japanese army, I was just worried that someone would take the opportunity to attack us, have you all forgotten what happened in Taierzhuang?" Xie Yuan's words made everyone break out in a cold sweat. At that time, Sun Lianzhong, who was in charge of the Second Group Army, held the front line of Taierzhuang to defend the Japanese army in the south, and the Taierzhuang walled city was defended by the 184th Regiment of the 31st Division under Sun Lianzhong.
In order to appease the international community's condemnation of the use of poison gas bombs by the Taierzhuang National Army, Sun Lianzhong had to personally order the shooting of the battalion commander who ordered the use of poison gas bombs for defense. This matter has always been a confidential element of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and it is precisely because of the poison gas incident that Sun Lianzhong's department, which made great contributions to the Battle of Taierzhuang, was mixed with a large amount of sand by the Ministry of Military Affairs, otherwise in the later battle of Wuhan, Sun Lianzhong's department would not have suffered such a large number of casualties, Sun Lianzhong was promoted, but his actual control of the army was divided by the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Xie Yuan said that he was not against Thunder's use of poison gas bombs against the Japanese army, but to remind everyone to be careful of the black hands from behind, Zhao Zhi and Thunder are not afraid, they do not belong to the national army at all. But Xiao Ziyun's staff officers are all from the national government, and their files are stored in the confidential room of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
"What are you afraid of, isn't it just this military uniform, it's a big deal to stay in Myanmar with my husband in the future and continue to fight little devils, and besides, things may not necessarily be what we think. Mr. is highly respected by the chairman, and he is a close friend of Director Dai of the military command, and the relationship with Germany and the United States is not bad, the guy in the Ministry of Military Affairs who is full of belly fat wants to make trouble, and he also has to weigh his own weight, if he really annoys the chairman, even the king of heaven Lao Tzu is not easy to speak" Xiao Ziyun is Chiang Kai-shek's own nephew, so he naturally speaks to the chairman Chiang Kai-shek, no matter how the Nationalist Government is also the chairman of the committee, the small group of people in the Ministry of Military Affairs really want to take the opportunity to make trouble, so they must be prepared to bear the anger from the villa on the south bank.
