Chapter 33 Scheme
The congratulatory telegram from the Nationalist Government and the CCP was deliberately ignored and ignored by Rowling, but the telegram from Old Rhodes and the U.S. Congress was forwarded to Kyushu Island as soon as possible. Old Rhodes naturally inquired about the supply of weapons, before sending troops to Kyushu Island, Zhao Zhi had already privately communicated with Old Rhodes, if there was no coordination of the Rockman family, the Seventh Fleet would not have helped Zhao Zhi transport mixed troops to land in Nagasaki, not to mention that they also supported the aircraft to Zhao Zhi.
Rowling's announcement on the radio of Kyushu Island was naturally instructed by Zhao Zhi, and his original intention was to show the strength of Thunder to the world, and at the same time, it also had the meaning of muddying the water without limits. Zhao Zhi is preparing to turn Kyushu Island into a large battlefield that attracts Japanese firepower, and he wants to turn Kyushu Island into a flame that attracts moths, attracting more Japanese troops to come and die.
There are more than 400,000 troops directly under Thunder, large and small, and excluding those wavering Jewish troops, there are more than 50,000 mercenary troops that can follow Zhao Zhi all the way to the black, and Zhao Zhi has no less than 300,000 reserve mercenaries in training. Feeding so many troops has already consumed a lot of materials and property, and in the era of the Great Melee, you can still rob the rich and help the poor everywhere, but once World War II is over, it is difficult for Zhao Zhi to find an excuse to loot money to feed so many troops. Therefore, he also wants to turn Kyushu Island into a testing ground, and only the soldiers of a hundred battles who have been tested by the fire of war are qualified to become thunder mercenaries.
He didn't care what kind of trouble it would cause after the power was turned on, Zhao Zhi still carried out his planned actions step by step, and after completely annihilating the three Japanese divisions on the Asakura and Hita lines, Zhao Zhi transferred 50,000 mixed troops to Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki on Honshu Island across the sea. Although Zhao Zhi has always used the mixed troops as cannon fodder, it is also 50,000 people, and the Japanese army wants to kill them from Honshu Island, and if they don't kill all the 50,000 mixed soldiers first, they won't be able to cross Kitakyushu at all. It is not so much that Zhao Zhi transferred 50,000 mixed soldiers to Kitakyushu to recuperate, but that Zhao Zhi used 50,000 lives to add a layer of defense to Kyushu Island.
"Tell them not to entangle with the Japanese puppet army along the way, there is only one task, to rush to Jiaodong with the troops as soon as possible to assemble." Several of Zhao Zhi's operational staff officers were all hoarse. All the orders issued by Zhao Zhi need to be checked by them again and again with the telecommunications room, not to mention that Zhao Zhi only ordered to continue to transfer troops from Burma to the north, but did not specify how many troops to mobilize north, and these things need to be discussed and handled privately by the staff officers of the headquarters. Thunder has always fought as many troops as he wants, and now there are only no more than 7,000 mercenary troops on Kyushu Island who are still fighting power, in order to realize the moth plan formulated by Zhao Zhi, Thunder's staff officers have been soaked in the telecommunications room all day long urging the troops going north to hurry up to Jiaodong.
In the face of the overwhelming attack of hundreds of fighters of the Japanese army, the fighter troops of Thunder wisely chose to avoid their edge, knowing that they were outnumbered and had to take to the air to fight, that was not Thunder's tactical tactics, anyway, it was also the Japanese place that was being bombed now. Zhao Zhi had long anticipated such a situation, and after capturing more and more Japanese, Zhao Zhi ordered a part of the mixed troops to guard over these Japanese to dig three feet into the ground and build underground fortifications.
Under the double stimulation of food and machetes, hundreds of thousands of Japanese captured by the mixed troops burst out with powerful digging capabilities, and almost all the inland cities of Kyushu Island were dug out of underground fortifications by the Japanese, which was enough for Zhao Zhi and his mercenaries to squat in it to avoid the overwhelming bombardment of the Japanese army. With a soil layer of more than ten meters thick, Zhao Zhi, who stayed in the underground fortifications, was not afraid of the Japanese bombing at all, as long as the fighters who were also hiding in the underground fortifications did not have an accident, even if the Japanese army landed and counterattacked Kyushu Island, Zhao Zhi also had the strength to fight in his hands, and this was exactly the result he wanted.
The electrification of Kyushu Island has angered Japan, and the narrow-minded Japanese will never allow Thunder to control Kyushu Island, so they must recapture Kyushu Island, and it is best to wipe out all the troops sent by Zhao Zhi to Kyushu Island. Japan's Combined Fleet has been playing hide-and-seek on the sea with the US Pacific Fleet, and although the Battle of Midway was lost, the Japanese Combined Fleet has not yet been completely annihilated, which is why the US military is struggling on the Philippine battlefield. Without a complete defeat of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the US Pacific Fleet will not be able to wholeheartedly provide assistance to the US ground forces on the Philippine battlefield.
Congress's use of the Pacific Fleet has always been very vague, and the Thunder sent troops to Kyushu Island just gave the US military a chance to make its own decisions, so while the Japanese army was bombing Kyushu Island and preparing to counterattack Kyushu Island, the entire formation of the US Pacific Fleet came to Japanese waters to cruise. As long as the roots of Japan are broken, the Japanese army jumping on the battlefield in the Philippines will naturally have no motivation to fight again, and the Thunder can take down Kyushu Island, and the Pacific Fleet has more troops than the Thunder, and if it can directly occupy the whole of Japan, all the Japanese troops may choose to surrender.
At first, the Americans did not take the Japanese seriously, believing that the main reason why the despicable Japanese monkeys were making trouble in Asia was that other Asian countries did not do their best, and as long as the United States, which was well-armed and strong, sent troops to South Asia, the Japanese monkeys would certainly give up those resources and obediently hide back in the trees to eat bananas. Since the start of the war in the Philippines, more than 500,000 US troops have been trapped in this big quagmire, and if you count the logistics troops, I am afraid that the US military has been held back by more than one million US troops in the Asian theater.
Intervening in the war in Europe is not as easy as those politicians imagined, Congress howls all day long for the British and French allies to land in France to fight, but in fact, after the US military has paid huge casualties and material consumption, it can only control the landing areas west of Nantes and Rennes. The German artillery bombardment day and night made the American soldiers who landed in France panic all day, and the German army, which had the combined armament system of Britain, France, Germany and other Eastern European countries, did not care about the shells at all, and Zhao Zhi helped Hitler sketch out the road and railway system to ensure that the ammunition produced by the arsenal could be delivered to any place in the German-controlled area in the shortest possible time.
The landing in France was already like this, and before Goering was placed under house arrest by the German leadership, more than 6,000 planes were transferred to the British garrison, and with more than 25 German divisions heavily defended, the American troops would need to spend more lives to fill the beaches if they wanted to land in the United Kingdom. The Garland and Browning heavy machine guns of the American army had no chance of winning in the face of the massive German heavy artillery and MG42 machine guns. The German army is now fighting on two fronts, but neither side suffers, and the US military is now tight on both sides, so Zhao Zhi's telegram on Kyushu Island gave the Americans hope to shift the focus of their operations to Europe.
As long as Zhao Zhi can always take root in Japan to attract the attention of the Japanese army, the United States will provide unlimited military assistance to Zhao Zhi, this is the latest decision of the US Congress, and it seems that supporting the Thunder is more powerful than supporting the Nationalist Government, which is the consensus of the congressmen. When a large number of American troops were being played by German artillery in France, Zhao Zhi finally got an olive branch extended by the US Congress, and while the entire Pacific Fleet rushed to the Sea of Japan to help in the war, Zhao Zhi would receive weapons aid worth 40 million US dollars, which was enough for Zhao Zhi to equip an elite force of 200,000 people.
Hold Kyushu Island for 20 days, this is the expectation of the US Congress for Zhao Zhi, 20 days later, Zhao Zhi has been planning for many years of US military aid to reach Kyushu Island, before that, Zhao Zhi can only fight alone. Seeking wealth and danger is an eternal wise saying, especially applicable to the current era of chaos, if you want to gain the recognition of the United States and the qualification to share the interests after the war, Zhao Zhi must make more efforts and sacrifices. Obtaining special military aid from the U.S. Congress is only his first step, and how to use Kyushu Island to achieve his ultimate goal is the key......
Kim Il Sung's North Korean *** has obtained some information from the Japanese army, the Korean garrison has sent two divisions south to Busan and Mokpo, their goal is to recapture Kyushu Island and Kyushu Island, at the same time, the Japanese base camp in a rage has ordered the Kwantung Army to go south to Shandong to cut off the back road of Thunder, and it is expected that the number of Kwantung Army going south will exceed 5 divisions. Zhao Zhi has only been a reference to these Japanese army movements that have been fed back, but he does not care much about them, the more than 300,000 mixed soldiers in his hands are from the mountainous areas of Thailand and Vietnam, as long as these people are put into the mountains, it will be a dragon into the sea, and the Japanese army does not have ten times the strength of the army, so don't even want to find them.
Use mixed troops as bait to harass and attract the attention of the Japanese army, and then the more than 7,000 mercenaries in Zhao Zhi's hands will be broken into pieces and keep attacking the Japanese troops who landed on Kyushu Island, as long as Zhao Zhi puts the battlefield in the inland of Kyushu Island, he can avoid the help of the Japanese naval guns, and play the work of beating the stuffy stick behind his back, Zhao Zhi is really not afraid of anyone. Besides, as long as it lasts for 20 days, the US Pacific Fleet will rush to help in the war, and as long as there are ships, a large number of thunder troops assembled in Jiaodong will be able to land on Kyushu Island.
"Tell Mo Lun not to rush to mobilize supplies to go north, Kyushu Island is in crisis now, and no matter how many supplies are airlifted, I am afraid that they will not be able to be airdropped, but it is better to cheapen Wang Yaowu's 74th Army." In the national army sequence, except for the Youth Army, which can use weapons and ammunition with Thunder, is Wang Yaowu's 74th Army. The Youth Army had been ordered by the cautious Chiang Kai-shek to move to Shanxi, and Zhao Zhi still had to rely on the overstaffed 74th Army to help block the Kwantung Army Division moving south, and it was understandable to provide some material help.
