The sky was slightly bright, Zhao Zhi was still circling in the yard with his hands behind his back, a circle of cigarette butts was already thrown at his feet, and the bloodshot in his eyes indicated that Zhao Zhi had not slept all night, and Luo Ying, who was holding a gun in his arms, had already sat in the corner of the wall and dozed off. A rush of footsteps broke the silence of the early morning, and Ye Kong, who was covered in blood and the smell of gunsmoke, led several mercenary commanders to walk over quickly, "Sir, isn't it over yet?" Ye Kong turned his head to look at the closed door and asked Zhao Zhi with some eagerness

Ye Kong was urgently transferred to Taiyuan by Zhao Zhi, Yan Wudao was in the Soviet Union, Tang Lei was left in Shimen Township by Zhao Zhi, and Yu Dazhi was sent back to Zhangwu County because of his leg amputation. From Jin Zhanpeng's first shot fired by them in the Japanese army headquarters in Taiyuan, Zhao Zhi's long-planned Taiyuan plan kicked off, and the sound of guns and explosions rang out for a whole night, and the Japanese puppet army in the city fought back very stubbornly, even though Jin Zhanpeng had killed most of their officers.

Originally, according to Zhao Zhi's plan, after Thunder's troops arrived at the periphery of Taiyuan, the participating troops of the National Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army should also be assembled in the periphery of Taiyuan, but in fact, when Jin Zhanpeng and they received the action order, only Thunder's troops rushed to the periphery of Taiyuan, and the National Army, Jin Sui Army and Eighth Route Army only sent a small force of troops, in other words, Zhao Zhi and Thunder were teased, and people did not believe in Thunder's determination to capture Taiyuan at all.

The arrow had to be sent, and an attack order had been issued to the mercenary team lurking in the city, and Zhao Zhi, who was lurking outside the city, was already difficult to ride a tiger, and after Jin Zhanpeng launched it, Zhao Zhi had to order the siege of the city, otherwise none of the 200 brothers in the city would survive. The battle lasted all night, and after repeated tug-of-war with the Japanese puppet army in the city at the city gate, the armored troops suddenly launched by Thunder crushed the corpses of the Japanese puppet army into the city, and with the help and guidance of the military commander and the underground party of the Communist Party of China, the Jewish soldiers armed to the teeth began to fight with the Japanese puppet army in the streets, street by street and house by house and the Japanese army for territory.

Zhao Zhi did not expect such large casualties when formulating the Taiyuan operation, and in order to take Taiyuan, he gathered more than 20,000 Jewish troops, not counting those armored troops and mercenaries. After the night of fighting, the Jewish infantry alone suffered more than 4,000 casualties, and more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed and damaged by the Japanese. The 200 mercenaries who were the first to do it at the Japanese headquarters in the city suffered the most serious casualties, and after Zhao Zhi's large army all entered the city, less than 70 of the 200 mercenaries who were besieged by the Japanese army in the headquarters compound remained, and Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng, who led the team, were seriously injured.

"Come out, the doctor is out" The door that had been closed was opened, and several doctors with tired faces walked out, and Zhao Zhi, who turned back when he heard the sound, strode over. It has been more than 2 hours since the seriously injured Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng were carried into the operating room, plus the doctors who Zhao Zhi forced with guns and the military doctors of Thunder, 8 doctors were arranged in the operating room to treat Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng, Zhao Zhi has been waiting here, just to know the situation of treating them.

"The patient lost too much blood and his body was still very weak, but fortunately, the operation process was quite smooth, they just need to stay in bed to recuperate for a while" The leading doctor took off the mask, this is the military doctor of Thunder, and the rescue just now is mainly based on him. The mercenaries brought by Ye Kong didn't care much about talking, but just walked quickly into the operating room to visit Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng, who had completed the treatment, and they were all surviving mercenaries who participated in the attack on the Japanese headquarters last night.

"Okay, good" Zhao Zhi patted these doctors vigorously, "You have all worked hard, let's go down and rest first, 2,000 US dollars per person, and I will cash it out for you when I return to Zhangwu County" Zhao Zhi's words made the doctors who were forced by him to come with guns dumbfounded, and he didn't want to let himself go home when he heard this. "Our Thunder laid Taiyuan is to be handed over to the National Government, so Thunder's troops will not be stationed in Taiyuan City for a long time, since you have helped Thunder, that is our Thunder's friend, Thunder will not watch friends fall into trouble, you should follow us to Kunming, it is much safer than Shanxi"

Thunder has no shortage of weapons, no shortage of soldiers, what is lacking is doctors, especially military doctors who can fight with the team, since these people can save Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng, who are seriously injured and dying, it shows that their ability to treat diseases and save people is not bad, Zhao Zhi certainly has no reason to let them go. Regardless of whether those doctors agreed or not, even if Zhao Zhidang sent some mercenaries to help them pack up their things, when Thunder's troops drove back to Zhangwu County, it was the time for them to set off with the team.

"Sir, you really handed over the Taiyuan City that we worked so hard to conquer to the National Government? What about the more than 4,000 people who were killed and wounded? What Zhao Zhi said just now made Ye Kong a little puzzled, in his memory, his own husband would not make a loss-making deal. Last night's danger, Ye Kong witnessed it with his own eyes, when he was fighting with the Japanese army at the city gate, if it wasn't for Mr. himself with the armored troops to carry out a surprise charge, Taiyuan City would still be in the hands of the Japanese army.

"It's not that I want to hand it over to the Nationalist Government, but the Japanese army has begun to send troops to Burma," Zhao Zhi took out a cigarette and put it in his hand, and said with a complaint, "Most of the raw materials needed by the Kunming Arsenal come from Burma. The domestic battlefield is not suitable for us Thunder, the factional battle is too strong, it is difficult to drive the Japanese army out of China just by relying on our Thunder family, and my purpose was not here from the beginning"

Ye Kong is a smart man, when Zhao Zhi ordered the siege of the city last night, he saw a trace of abnormality, and the other city gates that were attacked at the same time as the thunder have not moved, which shows that there is a situation on the side of the national army, the Jin Sui army and the Eighth Route Army that joined forces with the thunder agreement to attack the city, if it were not for this, the thunder would not have suffered more than 4,000 casualties in one night. Last night, almost all the Japanese puppet troops in Taiyuan City flocked to the South City Gate to fight with the Thunder, the battle was so tragic that Ye Kong was a little frightened, if there was no strong attack by the armored corps, the troops arranged by the Thunder in the South City Gate would be repulsed at any time and the possibility of being scattered.

After seeing Xiao Ziyun and Jin Zhanpeng after the operation, Zhao Zhi's nervous heart finally calmed down a little, and the people who were blocked outside the hospital by his personal mercenaries were also let in. The National Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army all sent representatives to inquire about Zhao Zhi's tone and meaning, after all, they did not cooperate with the Thunder Team Taiyuan City to attack at the first time last night, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhi personally leading the armored corps to break into the south city gate, they who were guarding the other city gates probably would not have come up with all their strength to attack the city.

"Everyone, please go back first, please tell your commander, our Thunder has suffered heavy casualties in this battle, my soldiers need to go back to Zhangwu County to rest, two days later, Thunder will give up Taiyuan City, as for your family stationed in Taiyuan City, I hope you will discuss it yourself, our Thunder is just a guest army and does not participate in this matter, but before Thunder does not withdraw from Taiyuan City, please restrain your troops to be stationed outside the city first, my soldiers are rude and can't understand Chinese, It's not good to offend your soldiers."

The 4,000 casualties in one night made Zhao Zhi extremely disappointed with the anti-Japanese forces in the country, and if the action plan planned by Zhao Zhi was implemented, there would be no need to pay such heavy casualties in taking Taiyuan City. In the face of the great right and wrong, they are still thinking about their own gains and losses, and cooperating with such an armed force is simply putting a noose around their necks, I am afraid that only people who are bent on death will be stupid and will continue to cooperate with them, and a few more such actions, the entire thunder will be lost here.

Zhao Zhi's outspokenness made the faces of these few people who came to listen to the news very ugly, but no matter what the reason was last night, they were the ones who did the wrong thing after all, if it weren't for the delay in their attack, Thunder would not have suffered such a big casualty. Zhao Zhi was already polite when he spoke like this, if this incident happened to them, I am afraid they would even have the heart to pull out a gun and kill someone on the spot.

"Inform our troops, the whole city is under martial law, only allowed to enter and not to leave, curfew after dark, friction with our soldiers on the street resistance, kill" Zhao Zhi gave Luo Ying a killing order in front of those people, this meaning is already very clear, before Thunder left Taiyuan, this city that was still wafting with gunpowder smoke belonged to Thunder, anyone who wants to get involved in Taiyuan City now must pay the price, they will have to face the guns and anger of more than 10,000 Thunder soldiers.

"You personally take the mercenaries to raid the house" drove away the flies who came to listen to the nickname, Zhao Zhi called Ye Kong again, and gave a secret order in a low voice, "All the motor vehicles in the city must be in our hands, the airport outside the city is already under our control, Qinglongping will send a transport plane over, your task is to clean up the assets of all the Japanese expatriates in Taiyuan City, including the list of traitors provided to us by the military commander, and move all the valuable things in their homes within two days, and all the captured heavy weapons and fuel of the Japanese army."

In the previous joint combat agreement with the National Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army, the Thunder Thunder will hand over Taiyuan City to the other three, and they will concentrate their armored troops to go south to clear the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi, and now it seems that this clean-up plan is still to be discussed, since the three of them don't want to cooperate with the Thunder, then Zhao Zhi doesn't plan to be a good person, he wants to get back some commissions first, and he can't let the more than 4,000 brothers suffer casualties in vain.
