Chapter 5 The Desperate Scheme

"Report to the chief, the Maple Leaf Sniper Brigade should have 240 people, but it has reached 240 people, please instruct the commander!" The motor, dressed in a standard mercenary combat uniform, gathered his subordinates, turned around and saluted straightly, and standing opposite them was Zhang Jinquan with a serious face.

Zhang Jinquan, who was standing with his hands behind his back, shouted expressionlessly, "My name is Zhang Jinquan, and I am your instructor captain. In the next 60 days, you will all be under my command, and in these 30 days, I will lead you and the Japanese army to conduct actual combat training, how do you want to leave the battlefield alive, then you had better do what I say, otherwise your fate will be miserable, do you understand? ”

Looking at the young and thin instructor in front of him, the Burmese mercenaries in the queue felt that this instructor was nothing remarkable, after all, Zhang Jinquan did not have the figure of Yan Wudao. Looking at everyone's disdainful looks, Zhang Jinquan sneered in his heart, and then continued: "In the thirty days from now, our instructor team will conduct the first phase of training for you, get up at 6 o'clock in the morning for training, 10 kilometers of weight-bearing cross-country, and the five people who finally reach the finish line will not have breakfast."

"Two hours of latent training every morning, the five worst performers canceled lunch, in the afternoon there was live ammunition shooting and firearm maintenance, and an hour before dinner there was a weight-bearing cross-country rapid marching training, and the last five people did not have dinner, and after dinner was a one-hour sniper course to study."

The Burmese in the queue were stunned by Zhang Jinquan's words, and one by one wondered if they could persevere. But thinking of their family's eyes eager for food, they all gritted their teeth and determined to persevere. Zhang Jinquan saw that these Burmese people were all stunned by the practice plan announced by himself, and continued with a sneer: "I forgot to mention just now, you still have an hour of stationary target practice with the muzzle hanging bricks every day, and there are 100 push-ups and sit-ups before going to bed."

The more than 30 mercenary instructors standing around the Burmese mercenaries looked at the frightened appearance of this group of rookies, and showed strange smiles one by one, especially Mada, the guy who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and the Burmese people in the queue shrank their necks one by one. Zhang Jinquan's Maple Leaf Brigade is only half of the Burmese snipers, and in a col only 2 miles away from them, Ye Kong, who is carrying a sniper rifle, is also giving a lecture to 240 Burmese snipers, but the name of his brigade is called Cold Arrow.

When recruiting Burmese mercenaries in Burma, Yan Wudao, who was in charge of this matter, made a detailed registration of these recruited Burmese, and some Burmese who had been wandering in the mountains and forests all the year round were screened out to form a separate army, and the Burmese reserve snipers under Zhang Jinquan and Ye Kong were specially selected from among them. The Burmese mountain people have extraordinary adaptability to the jungle and mountains, especially these Burmese hunters under Zhang Jinquan and Ye Kong are good at mountain jungle fighting, as long as they are systematically trained, it is not difficult for these 480 Burmese to have a few elite snipers like Mada.

Lei Ting promised the Nationalist government's 150,000 Burmese mercenaries to rush to Shanxi in batches, and the march along the way was already a good training, the use and maintenance of Japanese-style weapons was the first thing to teach them, and there were some simple Chinese daily language, otherwise it would be difficult for Xiao Ziyun to form control over these Burmese mercenaries only by those overseas Chinese translators who recommended themselves. The 150,000 Burmese mercenaries were divided into three combat groups, which were commanded by Xiao Ziyun and two other combat staff officers who had followed Zhao Zhi, and a group of mercenary officers who were excellent in the mercenary force were sent by Zhao Zhi to assist them in training and commanding the Burmese mercenaries, Zhang Jinquan and Ye Kong were two of them.

Zhao Zhi's plan is to fight while training, and at the same time of training, pull these Burmese out to fight with the Japanese army in turns, and there are soldiers in his hands who are not panicking, Zhao Zhi is ready to use Burmese mercenaries to spark the Japanese army again in Shanxi this time. In order to hide people's eyes, these Burmese people trained in the heavily guarded training camp with Thunder's combat equipment, and when they really went out to fight with the Japanese army, they were dressed in standard national army attire.

Yu Dazhi is still in Zhangwu County, and Zhao Zhi gave him three months, and within three months, 150,000 Burmese mercenaries must take turns to fight the Japanese army, because three months is enough time for Zhao Zhi to prepare to continue to meet the Japanese army in Burma. "Brother Dazhi, the weapons that Mr. gave us are not enough, the gap is very big, I took a look, there are at least 60,000 Burmese people who do not have weapons yet, shall we inform Mr." Looking at the Burmese soldiers on the training ground according to the instructor's requirements, Xiao Ziyun's face was worried, what is the difference between the soldier and the farmer without weapons?

"Don't worry, isn't this half the three months that Mr. said? Don't worry" Yu Dazhi, who was in a wheelchair, threw Xiao Ziyun a cigarette with a smile, the Japanese-style weapons that Zhao Zhi transported from Burma were enough to equip 80,000 Burmese, plus those weapons hidden by the British army, it was no problem to equip these 150,000 Burmese mercenaries, but Yu Dazhi couldn't tell Xiao Ziyun that the reason why the weapons were not enough was that his wife privately arranged to sell some of Yao Laoyu to Shandong.

"Can I not be in a hurry? The chairman of the committee waited for news from Shanxi every day in Chongqing, but this weapon was not enough, how could I fight the Japanese army? This is the first time Xiao Ziyun has led troops alone, and when he left Burma, he had already sent a telegram to Chongqing in private, and Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the committee, did not hesitate to praise them, hoping that they would be able to play a majestic role. But now the weapons of the soldiers under him are not enough, so it is almost no different from fighting the Japanese army and sending them to death, Xiao Ziyunyan is not in a hurry.

"Don't worry, kid," didn't I finish what I said? Yu Dazhi spit out a smoke ring in his mouth, looked at Xiao Ziyun and said leisurely, "Didn't Mr. say that he was going to fight with the Japanese army?" Ambushes, digging traps, and beating sticks, as long as you can use the means to defeat the Japanese army, you must not forget the rules of our thunder cleaning the battlefield, we pay attention to the return of granules, as long as you can find traces of the Japanese army, are you afraid that those Burmese under your command have no weapons? ”

"You mean to feed war with war? Equip the unarmed soldiers with the weapons we captured? Xiao Ziyun, who was awakened by Yu Dazhi's words, stared at Yu Dazhi with wide eyes, and the latter just nodded with a smile and gave an affirmative answer. Yes, why didn't I think of it" Xiao Ziyun came to his senses, and rushed out of Dazhi's office to discuss the matter with the two commanders.

"Stupid, Mr. didn't want these Burmese people to return to Myanmar alive at all, why should he equip them with enough weapons" Looking at Xiao Ziyun's back as he rushed out, a trace of fierceness flashed in Yu Dazhi's eyes. Before the Burmese mercenary troops arrived in Zhangwu County, Yu Dazhi had already received a telegram from Zhao Zhi, in which Zhao Zhi directly told Yu Dazhi his plan, the 150,000 so-called Burmese mercenaries were just the first batch of cheap cannon fodder, and Zhao Zhi also arranged for about 200,000 Burmese mercenaries to arrive one after another.

Yu Dazhi's task is to command the mercenary instructor group to train these Burmese mercenaries as strictly as possible, and then use the opportunity of the round battle to let these Burmese mercenaries and the Japanese army engage in a non-stop war of attrition, killing and wounding a large number of Japanese soldiers while also consuming as many Burmese people as possible. In order to better control Burma, Zhao Zhi does not plan to let these Burmese return to their hometown alive, in other words, these Burmese have been used by Zhao Zhi as cannon fodder to fight to the death against the Japanese army.

This action called by Zhao Zhi is a bloody operation, only a few people in the thunder know the detailed plan, and even the Nationalist Government only knows Chiang Kai-shek, Xiao Ziyun and others, who are the commanders of the Burmese mercenaries, are all kept in the dark, maybe a few Burmese people can survive, but these Burmese who can survive are all thunder diehards left after strict screening, otherwise there is no need for Zhao Zhihui to order, Yu Dazhi and Ye Kong and a few of their insiders will also send them to the battlefield to fight to the death with the Japanese army.

"Liuzi, inform the scouts to expand the scope of investigation from tomorrow, focus on the area east of Jincheng, and immediately report back when they discover the movements of the Japanese puppet army" instructed his guards, Yu Dazhi grabbed the lighter in his hand, and said to himself, "Yao Laolu, it's time for us to meet, I just don't know if your Green Forest guerrilla army is as powerful as you said?" It is said that the Green Forest Guerrilla Army under his command has now swelled to more than 10,000 people, and Yu Dazhi intends to use the Burmese mercenaries to open a direct passage to the Yao Laoyu defense area.

If the first phase of the Burmese mercenaries can really open up the passage between them and the Yao Laoyu defense area, then these Burmese mercenaries will face the Japanese puppet army from Hebei, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong. Yu Dazhi didn't care how many Japanese puppet troops they could kill and injure in the end, he would only follow Zhao Zhi's order to use these Burmese to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese puppet army troops in the four places, so as to provide convenience and space for reactivating the fires in Hebei.

"Sir, although I Yu Dazhi is missing a leg, I can still help you finish this game of chess, no matter how big your game of chess is, as long as I Yu Dazhi still has a breath, I will follow you to the end" Looking at his empty trouser leg, Yu Dazhi's face was only left with a look of fortitude, "Since Mr. You want to play a game of chess, then let me, a waste person, carry this notoriety, I, Yu Dazhi, am a scoundrel, and I am not afraid that others will say that I am a god-killer."
