"What you want is to fully bloom" Zhao Zhi tapped his fingers on the table, and there was a copy of the information he had just received on the table, and Xiao Ziyun, the combat staff officer, was sitting opposite Zhao Zhi. "You have to remember that the people who are dying now are Burmese, what does their life or death have to do with us? Don't tell me you're willing to die for those Burmese, if that's the case, you'll be done as an operational staff officer, and I will never allow a single person in my army to serve as an operational staff officer."

Zhao Zhi's words made Xiao Ziyun ashamed, just two minutes ago, he was still giving Zhao Zhijin a message, whether to consider the casualties of the Burmese guerrillas to make them withdraw from the battle in Donghu, and the 86th Wing has only been fighting for three days, and the Burmese guerrillas assembled on the front line of Donghu have suffered more than 2,000 casualties. At this casualty rate, before the Thunder side encircled and annihilated the Japanese Sixth Division, all the Burmese guerrillas on the Donghu side were wiped out. Xiao Ziyun didn't want to see those Burmese people die in vain, so he asked Zhao Zhijin to adjust the combat deployment and put the 86th Wing into Mandalay to fight again.

"Although Mandalay has been taken by us, the remnants of more than 1,000 Japanese troops have been looking for opportunities to recapture Mandalay, we only have 5,000 airborne troops and less than 3,000 Burmese guerrillas in Mandalay, once the 86th Wing breaks through the Donghu defense line before we completely annihilate the 6th Division, the airborne troops lacking heavy weapons will not be able to hold Mandalay at all. You can't bear to watch the Burmese casualties, can you watch our soldiers die under the guns of the Japanese army? Zhao Zhi's words were like a hammer hitting Xiao Ziyun's heart, and this always proud person finally lowered his head.

"You have to remember that the harder we fight in Burma, the easier the battlefield at home and in South Asia will be, and only when the South Asian battlefield is easy will we be able to get military aid from the United States. If we want to drive the Japanese army out of China as soon as possible, we need more troops and better weapons, I said that the formation of the Burmese guerrilla army is to use them as cannon fodder, as long as the Japanese army can be defeated, what is the death of a few Burmese, in order to defeat the Japanese, is there still a small number of deaths in your national army? ”

"The defeat of the Sixth Division is already a sure victory, and our next battle plan will revolve around this all-round flowering" Seeing that Xiao Ziyun's expression had loosened, Zhao Zhi continued to perform the Great Flickering Divine Skill, "The Japanese army now occupies the advantage of the sea line, and can continuously increase troops to Burma by sea, but the place where they draw troops is the domestic battlefield except for the South Asian battlefield. Therefore, we will not rashly appear near the coastline to fight the Japanese army, we will use the mountainous terrain of northern Burma to fight the Japanese army, consume them in northern Burma, and leave the area south of Mandalay to the Burmese guerrillas."

The command in Zhao Zhi's hand tapped the map of Myanmar on the table, "After we solve the sixth division of the Japanese army, we will wave our army south to Mandalay, and use our air superiority to take Ringanqiang to hold on, then Mandalay, Ringanqiang, Taunggyi, and Tagao will become our new defense line" Zhao Zhi's words turned and the command fell on Taungoo, "So Taungung can't be lost now, at least before we take Ringanqiang, Taungoo must still be in the hands of the Burmese guerrillas, otherwise Taunggyi and Tagao will fall into the hands of the Japanese army, It's going to be a big problem for us to do it next."

Zhao Zhi sketched a big round cake on the map for Xiao Ziyun, no matter what, if Zhao Zhi's plan is successfully implemented, the situation that Thunder will face will be much better, as long as Thunder's armored troops can follow up in time, it is not a problem to hold the above-mentioned area mentioned by Zhao Zhi at all. "So we need time now, we need time to defeat the Japanese Sixth Division, and the Burmese guerrillas fighting to the death with the 86th Wing in Dongoo are actually buying us time to go south," Xiao Ziyun finally found the answer to the doubts in his heart.

"Yes, we defeated the Japanese army in Burma to help the Burmese recapture their country, there is no free lunch in the world, the Burmese cannot stay out of this war, they must contribute to their country" Zhao Zhi threw the command in his hand back on the table, took out a cigar and began to swallow the clouds and continue to fool Xiao Ziyun. "There will always be deaths in war, since entering Burma, our soldiers have also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, if the Burmese are not willing to give up their lives to fight the Japanese army, I don't mind staying in northern Myanmar and slowly playing a war of attrition with the Japanese army"

"What about Myitkyina? What if we go south to Mandalay and the Japanese army blocks our rear road from Myitkyina? The Japanese troops who were marching north into India could enter northern Burma and assemble at Myitkyina at any time, and if that were the case, would we not be surrounded by them if we went south? "Compared with going south to organize a new defense line, Xiao Ziyun is more inclined to hold Lashio. As long as the Yunnan-Burma Highway between Lashio and Wan Town is still there, Thunder will continue to obtain ammunition supplies, and then rely on the mountains of Lashio to eat the invading Japanese army little by little.

"You're thinking too simply," Zhao Zhi glared at Xiao Ziyun with a little hatred, "The number of Japanese troops is more than 160,000, and we only have 50,000, if the Japanese army concentrates all their forces on one point in Lashio, we won't be able to stop them at all." In this case, all we can do is disperse them, and then consume as much of their vital strength as possible before their next batch of reinforcements land in Rangoon, so that they will not be able to gather heavy forces to fight us."

"That's why you just said that you want to bloom in an all-round way, just to disperse the strength of the Japanese army" Under Zhao Zhi's intentional guidance, Xiao Ziyun finally grasped the key point and figured out Zhao Zhi's intention of saying that it would bloom in an all-round way. With the disparity in strength between the two sides, it is indeed a good idea to mobilize the Burmese to actively participate in the war, as long as the Burmese in the area south of Mandalay are all soldiers and the Japanese are engaged in a melee, the thunder will win time and space. After the Japanese army defeated the Burmese guerrillas on the front line of Donghu, the exhausted Japanese 22nd and 56th divisions were about to face the thunder that was waiting for them.

"It's good that you can understand the truth here, I don't want my combat staff officer to be a guy with a mushy head" Zhao Zhi, who was successful in flickering, walked away leisurely with a cigar in his mouth, and Xiao Ziyun, who looked ashamed, was still sitting at the table. The other staff officers who were busy in the command headquarters knew what was going on, but they really couldn't say anything, the chairman sent them into the thunder to learn, and they had to learn how to behave and do things, Xiao Ziyun yelled at Zhao Zhi just now and almost flipped the table, if this was placed in the troops of the national army, it would have been dragged out to fight with military sticks.

"I suddenly found out that you have the potential to be a politician," Rowling, who was holding Zhao Zhi's arm, laughed and joked to Zhao Zhi, "Those politicians in Washington are just like you, who can say that the wrong thing is right." Why didn't you just tell Staff Officer Xiao that the purpose of Thunder's southward movement was for the Ringanqiang Oilfield? Why lie to him and say that he was going to get some new line of defense to stop the Japanese army? Zhao Zhi fooled Xiao Ziyun in the command headquarters, and Rowling, who had nothing to do, played the role of a spectator, Xiao Ziyun is now Thunder's operational staff officer, Rowling couldn't figure out why Zhao Zhi wanted to hide Thunder's true intentions to Xiao Ziyun to go south.

"Ren'anqiang is the largest oil field on the Indochina Peninsula, our armored forces and fighters need fuel, our reserves of fuel are only enough for all fighters for a month's battle, so Ren'anqiang must be taken down, only by keeping the oil, we can rely on air superiority to fight against the Japanese army, otherwise we can only retreat to the Nu River" Oil has always been a big problem for Zhao Zhi, with the transfer of control of Mandalay Airport, Thunder is bound to send more fighters to fight, if the fuel can't keep up, The air superiority that the Thunder relied on would be lost, and this was something that Zhao Zhi did not want to see.

"Xiao Ziyun and those staff officers are all people from the Nationalist Government, and they are reserve officers that Chairman Jiang has tried his best to cultivate, and he sent Xiao Ziyun and them to Thunder not just to learn our Thunder's combat tactics, Joy has told me several times that Xiao Ziyun is secretly in contact with those Jewish officers, I don't want to tell them the next battle plan" Zhao Zhi's words made Luo Lin's eyes widen suddenly, could it be that Xiao Ziyun and their small actions in the thunder caused Zhao Zhi's suspicions?

"It's not what you think, with me, they don't dare to do too much" Zhao Zhi patted Luo Lin's hand, "I think it should be the meaning of the chairman, Xiao Ziyun They are contacting some Jewish officers to serve in the national army, I think they should have taken a fancy to the strength of our thunder, and want to buy some Jewish officers who are eye-catching to train the army for them, and train an army that is exactly the same as the mercenary army."

"Then I'll rest assured" Luo Lin rolled her eyes at Zhao Zhi, thinking that Zhao Zhi was a big tongue and didn't make her words clear once, "Those mercenaries have spent a lot of money on us to train, and the national government can't come up with this money at all, and they don't have the equipment we issued to the mercenaries?" Not to mention bulletproof vests, even all American-style equipment, they have to spend a lot of money, you see every time we go to his official residence for dinner, there are some light vegetarian dishes on the table, Chairman Chiang is so poor, I guess he is reluctant to pay this money. ”

Zhao Zhihaha, who was amused by Rowling's words, laughed in his heart, and said that Rowling is really a person who has never seen the world, although Chiang Kai-shek likes light vegetarian dishes, and there are only a few dishes at each meal, but those vegetarian dishes are not simple. The one who was in charge of Chiang Kai-shek was the imperial chef in the palace in the past, looking at the light vegetarian dishes with the taste of good broth, the ingredients in the broth are not rare in the world, and they are not more affordable than ordinary rich families, how did this become stingy and poor in Rowling's mouth?
