Zhao Zhi didn't know that it was precisely because of the birth of Thunder that the fate of the Fourth Division was originally transferred to the Philippine battlefield, and the Fourth Division, which was not loved by his father and mother, was disliked by almost all the Japanese troops, and no troops were willing to fight side by side with the Fourth Division, and finally had to be thrown to Qinhuangdao by the base camp to recuperate. When the Fourth Division was transferred to the Chinese battlefield in 37, it was sent to the northeast to garrison and subordinate to the Kwantung Army, and now they are just returning to the Kwantung Army family.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Fourth Division in Qinhuangdao that the Chinese communists have several more guerrilla units in this area, and each guerrilla unit has Japanese-style weapons and ammunition obtained from doing business with the Fourth Division.

After learning that Thunder had landed on Kyushu Island, the Japanese top brass immediately discussed countermeasures, saying that if they continued to mobilize troops from the mainland into Kyushu Island, they might continue to have the same result as the Sixth Division, and this was a situation that the local top leaders did not want to see. If there were no troops to defend the mainland, once Zhao Zhi commanded his troops to cross the Kitakyushu Bay and head north to Honshu Island or attack Tokyo directly, Japan might become the laughing stock of the whole world, and they feared that Japan would become a country that would lose its territory before the war was over.

Zhao Zhi personally led troops to land on Kyushu Island to attack the Japanese mainland, which was no less than the news of the resurrection of the Eight Miscellaneous Gods, which bombarded the Japanese high-level officials on the outside and on the inside. Encirclement and suppression are certain, but now that Japan is focusing on the South Asian theater, it cannot guarantee the smooth flow of war resources, and all the plans formulated by Japan will tend to be aborted. On the Chinese battlefield, because of the unsatisfactory situation in Shandong, there are already signs of a counteroffensive by Chinese troops, and the troops in South Asia are in a situation of melee with the US army, and the only place where troops can be mobilized is the northeast.

The Japanese look down on the Koreans in their bones, believing that those guys in the Korean divisions who eat kimchi all day long cannot be regarded as qualified soldiers at all, and in addition, the Korean People's Army has also shown a momentum of large-scale expansion, and the Japanese troops stationed in Korea are now a little too busy to take care of themselves. Of course, there were also guard troops in Japan, but Zhao Zhi's battle on the front line of Asakura completely annihilated the 6th Division and the 22nd Division made the high-level leaders of the base camp shut their mouths, so the Japanese base camp decided to send troops from the Kwantung Army in the northeast to cross the sea to encircle and suppress Zhao Zhi and the troops under his command.

The arrogance of the Kwantung Army has a long history, although they are also part of the Japanese sequence, but the Kwantung Army made it clear that they will not enter the customs to fight, and the task of the Kwantung Army is only to defend the Manchurian region and guard against the Soviets. The Kwantung Army is no stranger to Zhao Zhi, after all, Zhao Zhi once led a team to attack the Kwantung Army water supply unit in Harbin, although there is no evidence that Zhao Zhi did it, but the Kwantung Army has already mastered some clues, and all the clues are Zhao Zhi who only wants to live in Burma.

Kyushu Island is the hometown of many officers and soldiers in the Kwantung Army, and since Zhao Zhi dared to go to Kyushu Island, it is certain that he will send troops back to encircle and suppress it, and the 23rd Division from Kyushu Island has become the forward force. The 23rd Division was designated as a returning army, not that the 23rd Division was capable of fighting, but the pride of the Kwantung Army did not think that Zhao Zhi, who landed on Kyushu Island, had much ability. Knowing that the Kwantung Army was going to send troops back to China, the Fourth Division, which was bent on returning to its hometown, immediately asked for battle, and in the face of the excited officers and men of the Fourth Division, the Japanese army headquarters finally agreed to the Fourth Division's transfer to Kyushu Island to participate in the war across the sea through Korea.

The Kwantung Army was not very reluctant to send troops to fight across the sea, and the Fourth Division's initiative to ask for help made the Kwantung Army, which was in great pain, not only provided the Fourth Division with sufficient supplies, but also arranged for transportation to transport the Fourth Division to North Korea. Originally, the 4th Division and the 23rd Division were supposed to cross the sea and land on Kyushu Island in the same group, but the 4th Division, which did not want to fight at all, said that it wanted to cross the sea in formation, and that the 23rd Division had to cross the sea first, and then free up ships to transport the 4th Division to Nagasaki alone.

The Fourth Division, which wanted to act as a bystander, was complacent, and when it saw the dilapidated Nagasaki, the Fourth Division immediately exploded, and the entire Fourth Division took the initiative from top to bottom to land in Nagasaki just to go home, not to come to Nagasaki to die in vain. They were the Osaka Division, so why did they want to help those reckless men in Kyushu fight, so after landing in Nagasaki, the cautious Fourth Division marched all the way, and only walked forty miles a day before setting up camp and guarding carefully.

If it weren't for Zhao Zhi's use of the word "must" in the telegram, I am afraid that Zhao Zhi would have always regarded the Fourth Division landing in Nagasaki as a Kwantung Army unit. "I'm going to send a team of people to contact this Fourth Division." Zhao Zhi's decision shocked everyone present, Ye Kong pulled his legs and left, he was going to call the military doctor to see if his husband had a fever and burned his brain.

Looking at the operational staff officers who were originally subordinate to the national army, Zhao Zhi rolled his eyes in his heart, the Fourth Division entered the Northeast garrison in 37 years, and then was transferred to Guannei to participate in the war, didn't these guys who originally belonged to the estimated division have heard of the name of the Fourth Division? The Fourth Division is a well-known merchant division, and even the Chinese Communist guerrillas can get weapons and equipment from the Fourth Division, and he does not think that the Fourth Division will dare to take the initiative to open fire with the mercenary units under his command.

Zhao Zhi was originally a strong character, and the officers under him were also accustomed to acting according to Zhao Zhi's orders, so at Zhao Zhi's insistence, the mercenary team that went out of the direction of Nagasaki received an order from the Saga headquarters, asking them to contact the Fourth Division. The forward scout team, who was also confused by this order, sent telegrams to inquire continuously, and after being confirmed again and again, Wu Shan, who commanded the forward scout team, was dumbfounded, what does this mean? How could the command order to make contact with the Japanese army on its own side?

"Oh mom" Wu Shan pondered for a while, and then suddenly patted his head, no wonder this Japanese army that landed from Nagasaki looked a little wrong, and after a long time, this was the famous Fourth Division of the Japanese Army. Wu Shan was a veteran of the national army recruited by Yan Wudao in Chongqing, and Wu Shan, who had fought in the Battle of Xuzhou, naturally heard the name of the Fourth Division, and at that time in the face of the encirclement of the Japanese army, Li Zongren commanded 400,000 troops to jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army. When crossing a road on the border of Lusu-Anhui, he once met the southbound detachment of the Fourth Division.

The two troops were facing each other across the road, but the Japanese army that was close at hand had no intention of attacking, but instead cooked in a grand manner on both sides of the road. Since they had just jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army, the situation was still very dangerous, and the exhausted Nationalist troops had no choice but to cross the road with one heart, and the result was that the road was safe. Afterwards, the captain of the Japanese detachment of the Fourth Division, which had advanced southward, explained to his superiors under the pretext of "strictly observing combat discipline" that he had "not received an order to intercept the Chinese troops." "For this reason, to cover up the fact that the southward detachment of the 4th Division did not pursue the Chinese troops.

Wu Tian was a squad leader in the vanguard of the national army that day, and he was the first person to cross the road, so he didn't know anything about the Fourth Division, he just didn't remember it. After figuring out the ins and outs, the next thing was much easier, Wu Tian took his scout mercenaries to take out a sentry post of the Fourth Division again, and then asked the prisoners who were released to bring back a message and asked to meet with the commander of the forward unit of the Fourth Division.

The continuous attacks for three consecutive days had already made the Fourth Division panic all day long, and the opponent did not dare to take the initiative to attack after taking advantage of the night to eliminate a few sentry posts, and no one in the Fourth Division wanted to lose their lives after setting foot on the mainland. "You said this was a gift from your division commander?" Looking at Onohara, who had gone and returned, Wu Tianqiang, who was secretly happy in his heart, held back a smile. The large stone that served as a table was neatly arranged with four gold bars and two jade pendants, which at first glance appeared to be from China.

"Yes, these things are all gifts from our division commander, Lieutenant General Sekihara Roku, to Your Excellency." Onohara, who was put back by Wu Tian himself, could speak simple Chinese, so he became a messenger between the Fourth Division and the Thunder Scout Squad. "There's something else for your men." Onohara, who didn't come back alone, also came with an unarmed Japanese squad, and the Japanese squad, who did not carry any weapons, was a porter who helped carry things.

Onohara, who traveled back and forth between the 4th Division and the scout team, was very diligent, meeting with Wu Tian almost every other day, and at Wu Tian's behest, Onohara, brought back the promise of thunder. "Thunder is only hired to participate in the war, the combat zone is limited to Kyushu Island, and will not extend to Honshu Island and other Japanese territories, as long as the Fourth Division does not take the initiative to provoke incidents, Thunder can guarantee the safety of the Fourth Division on Kyushu Island until the Fourth Division returns to Osaka."

Wu Tian promised that he would not take the initiative to attack the Fourth Division, and the Fourth Division also made a promise that it would not have friction with the scout team, and in order to show his sincerity, Wu Tian, who had Zhao Zhi's consent, also took out some of the food hidden by the mercenaries and sent it to the Fourth Division as military rations. With the appearance of Wu Tian's virtual reality and a large amount of grain, there was a premise of friendly cooperation between the scout team and the Fourth Division, and Zhao Zhi's delaying tactics were also successfully implemented.

Marching 30 miles a day, there would be a "big battle" every two days, and although the bullets fired by the officers and men of the Fourth Division were all hit in the open space, the whole of the Fourth Division had a great time. Compared with other mercenary squads, Wu Tian's scout team is now more like a vacation, eating and drinking well every day and basking in the sun before fighting, if it weren't for the fact that there was a whole Japanese army division far behind, Wu Tian could let the mercenaries under his command let go of sheep and move freely.
