Oh" hot water poured down from the scoop and poured onto Zhao Zhi's head, so that the exhausted Zhao Zhi couldn't help but let out a suspiciously indecent moan from his throat, fighting with the Japanese army for several days in a row, Zhao Zhi had no time to take care of himself, this would finally have time to take a hot bath, Zhao Zhi lay in the big wooden barrel in the bath and hated to live here. The big wooden barrel for bathing was captured by the commander of the Japanese army, and God knows what kind of mind this Japanese army wing commander had, and when he came from hundreds of miles to help, he didn't forget to bring his own bath bucket, what a "talent".

"Report" Zhao Zhi, who was lying drowsy in the bathtub, was woken up by Tang Lei, after the battle, Zhao Zhi sent Tang Lei with a company of Jewish soldiers to take the captured truck straight to Wuxiang, fierce fighting for several days, Zhao Zhi and his soldiers need a place to rest for a while, Ding'an City is not ready to go back, the closest to here is Wuxiang, so this place guarded by only one company of the Imperial Association has become Zhao Zhi's goal.

"Sir, the Imperial Association Army in the county town has been temporarily locked up, and most of the wealthy families are willing to pay for food, but we don't find a lot of oil, and I'm afraid half of the captured trucks will have to be thrown here" Tang Lei was nicknamed a crow's mouth behind Luo Ying's back. This guy has always reported bad news and never reported good news, and always likes to say bad news first, if he listens to him, people who don't know the details will always think that the legendary thunder is just an empty shelf, and in fact it is almost impossible to get by.

Zhao Zhi pulled down the towel covering his face, squinted at Tang Lei's expressionless face, this guy and Mo Lun are a virtue, if you believe what he said, I'm afraid the year will be wrong. "Bring me a cigarette" Zhao Zhi stretched out a hand from the bath bucket, Tang Lei hurriedly took two steps forward, took a cigar from the table next to him and handed it to Zhao Zhi, and then took out a lighter to light a cigarette for him, the fire was also lit and smoked, Tang Lei waited for Zhao Zhi's instructions, but Zhao Zhi only cared about smoking and taking a bath, as if he was treating Tang Lei as air at all.

After a long time, Tang Lei's face became more and more bitter, and he knew that his husband had seen his own thoughts. "You kid is a good learner, they didn't learn it well with Yu Dazhi, but they didn't learn it well, but the ability to speak Tibetan is good" Zhao Zhiyi stretched out his hand and threw the wet towel on Tang Lei's head, "The situation in Wuxiang is different from Ding'an, you want to copy a big household, let's not say if we can get what we need, let's just say that as soon as we come, people will send it over with good food and drink, you said that everyone who paid grain did it, and it seems a bit far-fetched to use an excuse of oil shortage to raid the house"

"What then? I don't really want to raid their homes, it's just that after these battles, our casualties are not small, this Wuxiang is still far away from Pingyao, if we don't get some mules and horses carts or something, what can we do with those wounded? According to the content of yesterday's telegram, Hanks's regiment will be able to reach Pingyao in two days, and when the time comes, it will be 7 or 8,000 people. Tang Lei complained again and again, those Jewish soldiers are better, the mercenaries under him have the greatest combat intensity, all of them are pot-bellied men, and the meat will not be supplied, and the mercenaries' combat power will be greatly reduced.

"You are stupid," Zhao Zhi glanced at Tang Lei, "Didn't we seize a lot of 38 rifles and ammunition?" From now on, we will exchange the captured rifles and bullets for food and mules and horses, if the price is right, even Japanese-style light machine guns can be exchanged" Zhao Zhi's words made Tang Lei smile, defeated the Ghost Brigade and the Wugang United, Thunder seized a large number of intact weapons and ammunition, and after replacing the equipment of Niu Dashan's Eighth Route Army Company, Zhao Zhi still has thousands of 38 rifles and ammunition in his hand, if these things are really exchanged for food and mules and horses, it is enough for thousands of months.

"Sir, the latest report on the war situation in the Second World War Zone" Zhao Zhigang changed into clean clothes, and Xiao Ziyun and several of their staff officers came to visit together, especially Xiao Ziyun, who was still holding a radio in his hand, had just received a report on the war situation in the Second War Zone. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the second war zone confronted the Japanese army in the southern Jinnan area, but Zhao Zhi made a big fuss in the eastern part of the Jindong, and it would not work without the cooperation of intelligence, especially Chiang Kai-shek now hoped that the thunder would be as big as possible in the Jinnan movement, so that the distribution of the Japanese troops in the southern Jinnan army could be dispersed and the second war zone that had fallen into the quagmire could be pulled out.

"Let's talk about it" Zhao Zhi gathered the staff officers together and spread out the map of Shanxi, the battle situation analysis meeting is a feature of Thunder, especially with the map to analyze the current battle situation, which is a process that all officers of Thunder must go through. "After our army bombed Yuncheng Airport, the Japanese army abandoned Yuncheng Airport and built another airfield in Xinxiang, because the Japanese army's intelligence work and camouflage were very good, the military commanders and the CCP's intelligence officers have not found the airport, and the Japanese army played a vanguard role in the operation in Jinnan."

The 36th, 37th, and 41st Divisions of the Japanese Army, as well as the 3rd and 9th Independent Brigades, and the 24th Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, were distributed in Jiangxian County, Henglingguan, Wenxi, Xia County, Anyi, Yuncheng, Jiezhou, Yongji, Fenglingdu, Hejin, Wenxi, and the areas north of Xia County in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain. The 33rd Division and the 4th Independent Brigade are distributed in the Yangcheng, Qinchi, and Qinshui areas. The 35th and 21st Divisions and the parts of the Imperial Allied Army Zhang Lanfeng and Liu Yanfeng were distributed in Wenxian, Qinyang, Boai, Dongfeng, Xinxiang, Jiaozuo, Gaoping, Changzi, Lingchuan and other areas."

Xiao Ziyun said slowly according to the content of the battle report, and marked these places on the map with a pencil, and the dense red circles on the map made the staff officers present gasp. The Japanese army has invested a lot of money this time, and looking at this posture, it simply wants to eat the territory of the Second War Zone in one bite. Zhao Zhi habitually took out a cigar and put it on his mouth, when the airport was being built in Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi had foreseen that the national army in Shanxi would eventually have the possibility of a war with the Japanese army, and now it seems that the situation is far more serious than he imagined, no wonder the villa on the south bank always urged him to do something to Taiyuan.

wanted to use the thunderous people to fill in the pit to rescue the national army troops in the war zone, Lao Jiang had a good plan, Zhao Zhi sneered twice in his heart, and asked Xiao Ziyun, "This is the deployment of the Japanese army, so how did the national army in the second war zone deploy its troops?" ”

"The Pei Chang Headquarters of the 9th Army is in Jiyuan, an important town in northern Henan; The 43rd Army's Zhao Shiling Department was at the southwest end of the mountain; The 17th Army's Gao Guizi Division was in the Jiangxian area; The Tang Huaiyuan Department of the 3rd Army and the Kong Lingxuan Department of the 80th Army were in the Wenxi and Xia County areas, the Wu Shimin Department of the 98th Army of Feng Qinya's Department was in the area of Dongfeng Town, and the Wu Tinglin Department of the 15th Army was in the Gaoping area. In addition, four armies were deployed in the Taihang and Taiyue areas as a countermeasure," Xiao Ziyun followed Zhao Zhi's words and marked the location of these national army units on the map.

"If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would divide my forces and attack the communication between the national army units and the headquarters at all levels; Capture all communication points with heavy troops, cut off communication between the various units of the national army, and then break through each one; Blockade the mountain pass and ferry, gradually tighten the encirclement, and complete the attempt to complete the combined attack" Looking at the dense red and blue circles on the map and the situation of the two sides with intertwined dog teeth, Zhao Zhi's slow words shocked Xiao Ziyun and the others.

The response to the Second World War Zone seems to be impeccable, but in fact there are big loopholes, the first of which is the cutting off of communication as Zhao Zhi said. Once the Japanese army sends elite squads to attack the headquarters of the national troops, the troops that have lost their command will fall into a state of leaderlessness and loss of contact with friendly forces, and if they are divided by the Japanese army, they can only be defeated.

"Sir, what shall we do?" Xiao Ziyun and the others all looked at Zhao Zhi, although they knew that Thunder was still just a truncation at the beginning, but in their hearts they still hoped that Zhao Zhi would be able to send troops to Jinnan, where it was their robes that confronted the Japanese army, and they couldn't sit idly by.

"Don't do it, continue to go north according to our original plan, go to Pingyao first" Zhao Zhi's fingers fell heavily on Pingyao's position, Xiao Ziyun The expectation on their faces, Zhao Zhi had already seen it in his eyes. The Japanese army in southern Jinnan is gathered, even if Zhao Zhi rushes back to Zhangwu County now to mobilize troops to attack the Japanese army in southern Jinnan from behind, the result obtained will not be too ideal, and the key to whether or not he can rescue hundreds of thousands of national troops in the second war zone is not rescue. What Zhao Zhi needs now is time, as long as the troops in the second war zone do not go out blindly to fight, hold on to the key points for another half a month, and when Zhao Zhi's side is arranged, the dilemma in the second war zone will inevitably be lifted.

"Pingyao" Xiao Ziyun silently recited the name of the place that Zhao Zhigang said, and easily found the location of Pingyao on the map and began to calculate the route. After half a cigarette, Xiao Ziyun looked up at Zhao Zhi with a leisurely face, this young officer learned a lot from Zhao Zhi, and he participated in all the matters of this sortie. With his understanding of Zhao Zhi and Lei Ting, Zhao Zhi suddenly decided to go to Pingyao must have other purposes, he never believed that those imperial allegories in Pingyao Chengli would be so attractive to Zhao Zhi.

"Taiyuan, our next target is Taiyuan" Zhao Zhi took the red pencil in Xiao Ziyun's hand and marked Pingyao, Yangquan and Luliang, "Thunder's troops have secretly set off to establish advance bases in these places, our 4,000 people are just a smoke bomb, the purpose is to attract the attention of the Japanese army, to facilitate the establishment of advance bases for other Thunder troops, our arrival in Pingyao is the beginning of the attack on Taiyuan"
