Chapter 10 Call from Yan'an

"The reaction of the Korean Japanese army is too slow, we have taken the whole Incheon, and their warships have just left the port of Busan, if this is the case, we will simply occupy Seoul and finish the matter, and the province will have to wait for the Japanese warships in Busan to come and stir up." After breaking through the defense line arranged by the Japanese army in the port, the first attack echelon of about 3,000 people commanded by Yan Wudao attacked the Tozuka Wing in Inchon from the rear.

The relevant information of the Japanese army in Busan was long overdue, but it temporarily relieved Zhao Zhi, who had been hanging his heart, because the Japanese army in Busan, which Zhao Zhi had been looking forward to, finally moved, and they sent almost all the warships anchored in the port of Busan to Incheon to rescue. The port of Busan was not small, almost all the ships of the Japanese army in Korea were concentrated in the port of Busan, and if Zhao Zhi wanted to send their troops to Jeju Island, he had to consider the Japanese warships docked in the port of Busan.

"Since they are late, then we don't have to wait for them, inform the troops to move in three ways, all the way to the east along Gangwon Road, all the way to Wonju along Gyeonggi Road, and the rest all the way south to Daejeon, we will muddy the Korean Peninsula close to Japan and make the Japanese army unpeaceful." Zhao Zhi was ruthless, and directly divided his 60,000 troops into three ways and opened at the same time, but these are only the action steps that Zhao Zhi has deduced, and the specific implementation depends on the actual situation.

"Zhao, your people are very strong, and it can be seen that they have all undergone rigorous training, and they are all very good fighters." George, who had been a liaison officer for Zhao Zhi for half a month, gave Zhao Zhi a thumbs up. George, who has the rank of second lieutenant, is a top student who graduated from West Point Military Academy this year, and the far-sighted elders in the family directly transferred him from the European battlefield to the Asian battlefield, and sent him to the contact team with Thunder, relying on the good relationship with the Lockman family, George was lucky to become the liaison officer who followed Zhao Zhi.

The graduates of West Point are extremely arrogant and conceited, which is evident in George, when he first saw Zhao Zhi and Thunder officers, George still looked like his nostrils were facing the sky. Just a landing battle allowed George to see the combat effectiveness of the Thunder, you must know that when the American army landed in France, the landing force of tens of thousands of people fought all day to open up a beachhead, and their casualties were much greater than today's Thunder.

Regarding George's praise, Zhao Zhi did not answer, but smiled perfunctorily. Zhao Zhi can speak English, he doesn't need a liaison officer, and the Seventh Fleet can only provide help to transport troops, and also provide some long-range fire assistance when landing, once the landing force lands ashore, the task of the Seventh Fleet has been completed, so Zhao Zhi doesn't want to deal with George anymore, he doesn't want to always follow someone sent by the U.S. military around him, especially George is still a graduate of West Point.

Hunter belonged to the CIA, but before 38 years, the CIA was only a vague existence, and after the outbreak of the European War, the US government vigorously supported the expansion of the CIA, and the largest source of CIA recruitment was the military, as well as West Point and those universities in the United States. Zhao Zhi knew that there had always been CIA spies among the foreign mercenaries under him, but Zhao Zhi could use his interests to tie these CIA people to himself, George was different, these people from military families would not be easily changed, and Zhao Zhi would not allow such a bomb to explode at any time buried around him.

"Be careful of the Japanese army's tricks, and don't easily trust those Koreans, the Japanese can't be without a little capital after operating here for so many years, just like those traitors in China, there should be a lot of Koreans here to help the Japanese army do things, come up with some means, don't be coaxed by them." The troops under the command of Yan Wudao are about to penetrate deep into the Korean Peninsula, and what they need to watch out for most is not the Japanese army, but the Koreans, who are good at seeing the wind and steering the rudder. The great name of the Goryeo stick is Zhao Zhi in his previous life, and he also knows very well, in Zhao Zhi's heart, those Koreans who defected to the Japanese army are not even comparable to the imperial alliance army of Wang's puppet government.

Yan Wudao was born in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to the word righteousness, and Zhao Zhi was afraid that Yan Wudao would be deceived by the hypocrisy of the Koreans, so he specially instructed Yan Wudao to say a few words as a warning. All the landing troops have already landed, and Zhao Zhi, who has nothing to do, plans to return to Jiaodong, as long as the Japanese fleet and the Seventh Fleet from Busan encounter, the conditions for landing on Jeju Island will be ripe, and Zhao Zhi needs to prepare for landing on Jeju Island in advance.

Zhao Zhi, who returned to Jiaodong, did not take the ship of the Seventh Fleet, but directly got on the transport plane that came to transport materials, and then landed a mercenary unit responsible for the flank interspersed and knocked down the Japanese military airfield in Incheon by mistake, and after clearing the remaining Japanese troops, the mercenary troops waiting for the airdrop of materials found that this military airfield could still be put into use, so the airdrop of materials decided by Zhao Zhi became an airfield take-off and landing.

As in the past, Yan Wudao ordered that no prisoners be kept, but the weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese army were all separated, and when the unloaded transport plane returned, it only took away the items that Yan Wudao regarded as useful and valuable, but all the weapons and ammunition were kept, and when necessary, these things would become Yan Wudao's capital to support the Korean anti-Japanese forces. At the beginning, he supported the Korean anti-Japanese armed forces, otherwise in the future, the North Korean Jin Fat family would not have the same friendship as the brothers of Red China, and for the sake of Jeju Island, Zhao Zhi now needs to have a good relationship with North Korea.

The flight of more than an hour passed quickly, and Zhao Zhi, who landed safely, got off the plane and went directly to his temporary headquarters in Jiaodong, where there were still 6,000 mercenaries and almost 12,000 Jewish soldiers assembled and on standby. "20,000 recruits were transferred from the training camp to take over our defense area, and our troops were informed to go out to Weihai to assemble day and night, and the operation of landing on Jeju Island must be kept secret, because once the Japanese army knows about our actions, the consequences will be unimaginable." Several combat staff officers who came in a hurry didn't understand what Zhao Zhi's order meant, but they were used to following Zhao Zhi's orders, so they didn't have too many doubts.

18,000 men was all the troops that Zhao Zhi had prepared for the landing on Jeju Island, and Zhao Zhi obtained information that the Japanese troops stationed on Jeju Island consisted of only two Japanese infantry squadrons and one Korean infantry brigade under Japanese control, and their total number was only 1,400 men. Even though the Japanese army may have some shore defense artillery and bunkers on Jeju Island, after today's Inchon landing, Zhao Zhi now bets with anyone that the defenders of Jeju Island will not be able to stop the landing force under his command.

With the help of naval guns and planes of the US fleet, Zhao Zhi did not plan to adjust the existing landing plan, and the reason why the casualties of the Inchon landing exceeded 1,000 was because Zhao Zhi was not yet suitable for the landing operation, and the entire landing process was commanded and adjusted by the on-site officers of the troops. Zhao Zhi, who can return to Jiaodong, already has a good understanding of the landing operation, combined with his tactical analysis of the US landing operation in Nanyang in World War II in his previous life, Zhao Zhi is now able to command the entire landing operation very well, and the Jeju Island operation will be a personal test of the water for Zhao Zhi.

"Sir, our troops are easy to say, just attack directly, what about those cement and supplies? Lao Hai said that if those transport planes were always overloaded, they might fall into the sea. Ye Kong, who was forcibly pulled back to Jiaodong by Zhao Zhi, started a new topic after the staff officers left the headquarters. Lao Hai is not Chinese, the old German man whose full name is Heisman is an aircraft engineer dug back from Germany by Zhao Zhi, and the Thunder's transport plane has always been overloaded, and Eisman who treats the plane as his own child is certainly not happy, saying that the plane will fall into the sea is just a way for Eisman to express his dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhi.

"Don't we still have a few freighters from the Thais, and the cement will be loaded directly onto the ship, and there should be a port on Jeju Island, even if there is no port, we can use the US military landing craft to send cement to the beach of Jeju Island." Raising a middle finger at Heisman from afar, Zhao Zhi, who was standing at the door of the headquarters, smiled repeatedly. Cement must be used to build the airport, but Zhao Zhi is not worried about the transportation of supplies, and as long as the Seventh Fleet is still cruising in Jiaodong Bay, Zhao Zhi can continue to use these free labor.

"Sir, Yan'an is calling." Zhao Zhi and Ye Kong, who had nothing to do and chatted together, were interrupted by the intelligence staff officers who were running quickly, with the evacuation of Thunder from Shanxi and the southward movement to Burma, the connection between the CCP and Thunder had decreased a lot. Suddenly sent a telegram to Jiaodong, the intention of the CCP made Zhao Zhi a little confused, but after reading the content of the message, the expression on Zhao Zhi's face was very strange.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Zhi had to secretly sigh at the good means of the Chinese Communists, the thunder landing in Inchon was just this morning, and now it was just dinner time, and the Chinese Communists had already sent a telegram on this matter, which shows that the Chinese Communists' ability to obtain intelligence should not be underestimated. "Let's see, the CCP wants to cooperate with us to deal with the Japanese army in Korea, and it will really find a time." Zhao Zhi handed the telegram in his hand to Ye Kong, and the olive branch extended by the CCP was simply dispensable to Zhao Zhi.

"Who is this Kim Il Sung? Looking at the name, it should be a North Korean, is there still a North Korean in the CCP? Ye Kong, who had read the message, looked confused. In the telegram of the Chinese Communists, the first congratulated Thunder on the successful landing of Incheon, then praised Thunder for his contribution to the anti-fascist war, and finally proposed to cooperate with Thunder to resist Japan in Korea.
