Chapter IX: Deployment and Deployment

"Stop going north, the troops can go south" A secret order from Burma made the jubilation of the first army a little lonely, Xiao Ziyun's first army has repelled the Japanese puppet army troops in Jincheng, and killed and wounded most of them, if the third army in the south can seize the opportunity to attack Jincheng, the Burmese mercenaries will take Jincheng just around the corner. But the Burmese side changed the order at this time, and Zhao Zhi's new order made Xiao Ziyun and others even more confused.

"What's going on at headquarters? Isn't that teasing us? As long as the Third Army attacks south, this Jincheng will be taken by us" Xiao Ziyun, the old man with his sleeves, had a dark face, and the preparations for the attack on the Jiaozuo Japanese puppet army were completed, which would suddenly say that he would transfer troops south to avoid the advance of the Jiaozuo Japanese puppet army, so what about the losses of the first army? The casualties of the First Army were close to 10,000, and Xiao Ziyun pointed to using the fighters to repel the Jiaozuo Japanese puppet army to offset his losses, but this would be estimated to be in vain.

"Stop, stop, this is our husband's order, if you don't like it, go to the gentleman yourself. You are the commander, how you command, how we obey" Xiao Ziyun's officers who were familiar with him did not want to wade into this troubled water, Zhao Zhi's words were like a holy decree inside the thunder. Besides, since the battle between Thunder and the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi has never been defeated, and the officers subordinate to Thunder are very impressed by Zhao Zhi's tactical command level, and they will not suspect Zhao Zhi's orders.

Hearing Zhao Zhi's name, Xiao Ziyun, who was puffed up, lost his temper in an instant, so he had to nod yes and order the troops to prepare to withdraw from the cordon. Not only Xiao Ziyun couldn't figure out why he gave up Jincheng, but even Rowling, who had returned to Mandalay, couldn't figure out the reason, seeing that Jincheng would be besieged by the first army and the third army, Zhao Zhi suddenly ordered the troops to leave the Jincheng battlefield and go south, not only that, Zhao Zhi also ordered the troops to go south to avoid the Japanese puppet army troops in Jiaozuo, since this is the case, why did Zhao Zhi order the troops to besiege Jincheng in the first place?

"Xiao Ziyun's side is about to succeed, why do you still want to transfer them out of the battlefield? Didn't you specifically set Xiao Ziyun for it? While washing Zhao Zhi's hair, Luo Lin joked that Zhao Zhi did not take Xiao Ziyun as his own, and said with a smile that if Yu Dazhi or Yan Wudao commanded the battle of the First Army, Zhao Zhi would never interfere in commanding the troops.

"Nonsense" Zhao Zhi didn't care about the foam in his head, and looked at Luo Lin with a sideways face, "I transferred Xiao Ziyun and them to help the Nationalist Government fight against the Japanese army, the main purpose is to fight a war of attrition with the Japanese army, although Xiao Ziyun and a few of them have been with me for a while, but the national army likes to defend the territory is engraved in the bones." Whether it is the Third Army or the First Army to take Jincheng, Xiao Ziyun and they will definitely occupy Jincheng and not let go, which is inconsistent with my original intention, so they can only fight the Japanese army in the field until they consume the Burmese soldiers in their hands"

Rowling was born in a wealthy family, so she naturally knew that the accumulation of wealth was piled up on countless sacrifices, and the wealth of the Rockman family was not all obtained above board, if there was no war, who would the arms produced by the Rockman family sell to? If there were no deaths and injuries, to whom would the medicines produced by the Rockman family be sold? But this time, Zhao Zhi regarded hundreds of thousands of Burmese young men as cannon fodder who could be sacrificed at any time, which made Rowling a little worried.

"We only equipped the Burmese with Japanese-style weapons and equipment, and when Morun distributed the weapons, he had already cut off all the guns with a caliber of more than 100 calibers. Xiao Ziyun They want to use that kind of weapon configuration to fight urban offensive and defensive battles with the Japanese army, and there is no hope of winning at all" Zhao Zhi took a dry towel and wiped the water on his head, and said slowly, "The Burmese are good at field warfare, especially mountain and jungle warfare, the southern Jinnan region is a good place for them to display their combat effectiveness, where can they go if they don't go south?" ”

Zhao Zhi said that the battle command was a set, and Rowling could talk about him, and Rowling, who was inferior, had to ravage Zhao Zhi with her wet hands, taking the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction. "You are a common reason, I can't say anything about you, but Xiao Ziyun and their side, you still have to explain it to them well, don't let them misunderstand you in their hearts, that kid is also a ghost, don't let people guess your plan" Rowling's good wife and mother said bitterly to Zhao Zhi.

"What if you know? This was something that their chairman agreed to, and how dare he, a small operational staff officer, have an opinion on their leader? Don't dare, right? Stretching his arms and hugging Rowling in his arms, Zhao Zhi assured Rowling with certainty. The bloody operation was privately agreed upon by Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek, and besides, it was the Burmese who fought with the Japanese army, not the Chinese, and Zhao Zhi was not worried at all that Xiao Ziyun would turn against him because of these Burmese.

"Call Yan Wudao to come, say I have something to look for him" and Luo Lin warmed up for a while, and Zhao Zhi ordered the guards guarding outside to find Yan Wudao. The whole of Mandalay has become a big construction site, and Mo Lun, who commands the engineering troops, has re-played the role of his big steward, and the recruitment and training of Burmese soldiers has fallen on Yan Wudao alone, and Zhao Zhi naturally came to him for the sake of Burmese recruits.

Yan Wudao, who was busy and dizzy, received Zhao Zhi's summoning order, and thought that Zhao Zhi had something big to do, so he immediately drove the jeep in a hurry. "There are now 40,000 Burmese recruits in the training camp, and the recruits recruited from Myitkyina are rushing over, and it is estimated that after half a month, the number of recruits in the training camp can reach 70,000, but our Japanese-style weapons are not enough, and the Japanese-style weapons captured in my hands are only enough to arm less than 10,000 people" Yan Wudao was very happy, and he didn't wait for Zhao Zhifa to ask himself, but he said a lot first.

"Have you found the British weapons that William was talking about? If it doesn't work, just send British-style weapons to these Burmese soldiers, and they can't let them fight the Japanese army with swords and arrows" Zhao Zhi was calm. After Ren Anqiang was taken over by Thunder, William, who was originally imprisoned by the Japanese army, and his 5,000 British troops became free men, and now he is stationed in Yangon to be responsible for the defense of the port, as long as he finds the weapons and equipment hidden by the British army that William said, Zhao Zhi can equip no less than 50,000 Burmese mercenaries at any time.

"Bullshit British, that William is simply bullshit" Zhao Zhi didn't mention William, but it was okay, as soon as he talked about William, Yan Wudao's smiling face darkened, "The brothers were busy for a long time, and went to the places William said and walked around, there are less than 20,000 rifles, submachine guns and machine guns, no more than 3,000 mortars, mountain artillery, no mortars, mountain artillery, mines and explosives have been found, this weapon preparation is not more than 30,000 troops at most, how can there be weapons and equipment that can equip 50,000 people"

"So we've been tricked by William, an old boy?" Zhao Zhi was also amused by Yan Wudao's words, and paced around the room while rubbing his chin, "Forget if you have fewer weapons, have you found the trucks, fuel, and tanks that William said?" Zhao Zhi didn't expect the British army to hide many belongings in Burma, when he promised Henry to help William, Zhao Zhi just took a fancy to the trucks, tanks and fuel that William said, those light weapons Zhao Zhi didn't look at it at all, no matter how good the British weapons were, they were not as good as the American equipment issued by the Thunder.

"If you don't ask, I'll forget it when I arrive" Yan Wudao took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Zhi, "There are 80 trucks, 30 tanks, 20 armored vehicles, and no specific number of fuel, but the brother who started the goods said that there are young and old, all of them are packed in oil drums."

"Tell Joey to send someone out there, get these big guys back for me, and arrange them on the front line of Donghu, and prepare for the Japanese army to land in Burma again" Zhao Zhi had a hunch in his heart, once the melee in the Jinnan area began to expand, the Japanese army would definitely see that the three "national army units" active in the Jinnan area were all fakes. Thunder's advantage is only on land, once the Japanese ships close to the Burmese coast and sail into Yangon Harbor, Thunder can only shrink the defensive line and wait to meet the enemy on the Donghu line, and the Japanese naval guns are not what Thunder can resist at the moment.

"In addition, we can't let William, an old fellow, live too comfortably in Yangon, and ask him to take those British big noses under his command to recruit us into the army, you just say that I said it, I must be conscripted 30,000 soldiers within a month, and the source of soldiers must be in accordance with our recruitment regulations, must be strong young and middle-aged, don't take those old, weak, sick and disabled Burmese to fill the number" Zhao Zhi is not worried about William playing tricks on himself at all, these British troops are already abandoned by the British government-in-exile, leaving Burma and Zhao Zhi's protection, they can only die.

"You will send a telegram to Dazhi later, telling him to show me Qinglongping, whether it is the Jin Suijun or the people of the Nationalist Government, Qinglongping can only be in our hands, and when necessary, we can hand over Zhangwu County to the people of the Nationalist Government to take over" The people of the Jin Suijun came to Kunming to find Zhao Zhi, and Zhao Zhi did not see them at that time, but the meaning of the Jin Suijun, Zhao Zhi already knew that Yan Xishan had taken a fancy to Qinglongping Airport.

With the Taiyuan incident in the past, Zhao Zhi had already lost interest in the Jin Suijun, and he was even more disgusted with Yan Xishan, the Dinghai God Needle of the Jin Suijun. If the Jin Suijun still remembered Qinglongping, Zhao Zhi would rather hand over Zhangwu County to the people of the Nationalist Government to take over, and would never want the Jin Suijun to step into Zhangwu County half a step.

"You can rest assured" Taking the cigar cigarette thrown by Zhao Zhi, Yan Wudao smiled and said, "Who is Dazhi?" He is an iron rooster who can only get in and can't leave, and he wants to fight the idea of Zhangwu County and Qinglongping Airport in his hands, it's good not to be played to death by Dazhi, and the people of Jin Suijun are not Dazhi's opponents"
