"How many people have returned?" Zhao Zhi, who was chewing jerky in his mouth, turned his head and asked Yu Dazhi. It had been a day since the order to assemble had been issued, and more than half of the teams that had gathered in the valley had not yet arrived, which made Zhao Zhi a little surprised. In order to exercise the mercenary team's ability to fight alone, Zhao Zhi not only divided the elites of the national army into squads, but also divided the 600 mercenaries in his hands into 12 teams of 50 people. The interval between each squad will not exceed 20 kilometers, all of them are within the effective distance of the walkie-talkie, as long as Zhao Zhi gives an order and uses the walkie-talkie to pass it down the level, all the squads can receive his order.

The gathering place that Zhao Zhi chose was the Bison Gully they found on the map when they attacked the Caoling Coal Mine last time, which was only 100 miles away from Zhangwu County and 80 miles away from Caozhuang, which was only a day's journey for well-trained mercenaries. "There are 7 squads back, but the other squads are not far away, the closest to us is Eugene's submachine gun squad, they have received signals from other squads, they should all be withdrawn before lunch" Eugene's submachine gun squad is following a scout team under Yu Dazhi to go out to reconnoiter the situation, and has been walking around the brigade as a flank guard.

Really entered the bison ditch, Zhao Zhi was immediately fascinated by this place, as long as he bypassed the thorn bushes and steep slopes when he first entered the bison ditch, Zhao Zhi found that the inside of the bison ditch is simply a good terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the strength of a company of ambushes here can withstand the attack of almost thousands of Japanese puppet troops. The terrain of Bison Gully is dangerous, and the mountains of stones can be used as stones, as long as there is enough food, the defenders of this company can be used to kill the invading enemy.

"Sir, there's news from the fifth brother" Luo Ying ran over with the message that had just been translated, Zhao Zhi, who was afraid that the radio signal would reveal his location, had not taken the initiative to use the radio since he entered Shanxi, this was the first time that Yan Wudao had used the radio to contact Zhao Zhi since the division of troops. "My fifth brother said that everything is going well, they have attacked two established targets in a row, and now they are moving towards the Yuncheng area, the fifth brother said that after the blitzkrieg Yuncheng, he will take our snipers to take the initiative to break away from the national army, and they will rush to the gathering place according to the original plan" Since following Zhao Zhi, Luo Ying has been forced to read and write every day, and now he can almost write a letter to Su Mei who returned to Shanghai.

After listening to the telegram that Luo Ying read, Zhao Zhi silently calculated the time in his heart, according to the speed of action that Yan Wudao said in the telegram, it should be Yan Wudao and they were afraid of delaying the time to rush to Zhangwu County to meet Zhao Zhi, so they launched the attack time in advance, but this is good, at least Zhao Zhi and they can get rid of the entanglement of the national army earlier. Since entering the Bison Gully yesterday and turning on the high-power radio, Zhao Zhi has successively received telegrams from other mercenaries who led the team, all of which have the same meaning as Yan Wudao, all of them want to complete the attack of the set target as soon as possible, and rush to Zhangwu County to meet Zhao Zhi.

At the beginning of the division of troops, Zhao Zhi divided the 1,500 elite of the national army into 30 squads according to a team of 50 people, and each squad was equipped with a mercenary and sniper to serve as the actual combat commander. Their mission is to select 60 targets on the map by Zhao Zhi, and only after completing the attack of these targets, can their small teams infiltrate the enemy-occupied area to carry out the Spark Plan according to the instructions of the Nationalist Government, and the mercenaries and snipers sent by Zhao Zhi will rush to Zhangwu County to join the mercenary brigade.

Zhao Zhi took the mercenary troops to break away from the elite of the national army, because he had a bigger operation to do after taking Zhangwu County, and it had to be done by Zhao Zhi himself, which was also decided after repeated discussions with Chiang Kai-shek. For this action, when Zhao Zhi formulated the target of the attack, he deliberately chose many villages and towns that belonged to the enemy-occupied area, and Yan Wudao's first target was a county town guarded by the Japanese army, because only such a place would there be the people and objects that Zhao Zhi needed.

Zhao Zhi's plan is too bold and unbelievable, so only Chiang Kai-shek and Zhao Zhi know about this new plan called "Hellfire". The reason why Zhao Zhi made such a plan was mainly when he was having dinner in a villa on the south bank, and listened to Song Meiling talk about the defense of Nanjing, when Zhao Zhi learned that the Japanese army had slaughtered nearly 300,000 people and surrendered soldiers after entering Nanjing, the angry Zhao Zhi went back to his residence for a whole night without closing his eyes, and the next day he went to Chiang Kai-shek with a pair of panda eyes with this plan.

As a traverser, Zhao Zhi naturally knew that Japan would suffer two atomic bombs from the United States before it was defeated and surrendered, but those were all done by the Americans. Japan is an island country with few resources, and the reason why it will actively attack China is that it sees China's vast territory and rich resources, and without the support of those resources that Japan plundered from the northeast, they would not have the equipment to attack the Chinese mainland.

Zhao Zhi is a guy who has crossed over, he knows that Japan is a donkey country, a guy who does not go backwards, and the United States stationed a large number of troops in Japan after the war because they dropped two atomic bombs in Japan and scared the Japanese, so Japan has been the lackey accomplice of the Americans in Asia since the end of World War II. Zhao Zhi does not remember when the United States joined World War II, but now that he has come to this era, whether out of consciousness as a Chinese or out of interest considerations, he must have a share of the pie in post-war Japan, and cannot let the United States dominate post-war Japan.

As the name suggests, the Hellfire Project is a fire attack, Japan is a country lacking resources, the metal plundered back by the Japanese army has been processed into guns and weapons to support the army, the housing of the Japanese people is generally wooden, and Chiang Kai-shek studied in Japan when he was young, he knows that Japan is a densely populated country. Zhao Zhi's hellfire is to set fire to densely populated places in Japan, and not in one place, but in all densely populated places together, it is best to burn half of the people of Japan to death at once.

Set fire to Japan, Zhao Zhi's mercenaries naturally can't go, which requires someone to sneak into Japan to do this, which is why Zhao Zhi will strictly order the Yan Wudao after the division of troops to search for people who can speak Japanese. Chiang Kai-shek had secretly selected thousands of refugees from the northeast and then entered the territory of Shanxi and handed over to the Eighth Route Army, these refugees who were hated by their families and the country were the executors of hellfire, and after receiving the Japanese language and Japanese customs, they would secretly enter Japan with the help of Hunter's German merchant ships to hide, and only wait for Zhao Zhi's order to be issued, which would turn Japan into a sea of fire.
