Regardless of whether the United States is willing or not, and no matter how Nishio Shouzo will respond, Zhao Zhi is already planning to take action against the Japanese army, starting from the recruitment of the Jewish Legion in Burma, Zhao Zhi is looking forward to this day, only the soldiers who have experienced the test of war are what Zhao Zhi really needs, and the battle with the Japanese army is Zhao Zhi's best chance to test Jewish soldiers. Advanced weapons and equipment alone were not enough, Zhao Zhi also needed strong soldiers to control these weapons, and in order to meet the more brutal battles in the future, Zhao Zhi planned to send a Jewish army out of Shanxi to fight the Japanese army.

"Wheel battle, this is my purpose" Facing the Jewish officers present, Zhao Zhi said bluntly, "Although we now have 100,000 soldiers, most of you are just Xinding who has never been on the battlefield and seen death, and you are still very unfamiliar with the cruelty of the battlefield, so I am ready to arrange 5 Jewish regiments to take turns to fight the Japanese army, and our first target is here" Zhao Zhi's finger fell heavily on Zhangwu County in Shanxi, This was once the first stop for Zhao Zhi to show the world with mercenaries.

According to the intelligence transmitted by the military commanders, due to the intensification of the Japanese offensive and the deliberate shrinkage of the national army's defense line a few years ago, Zhangwu County fell into the hands of the Japanese army again. But fortunately, when the national army troops evacuated Zhangwu County, the military commander installed intelligence officers in the county seat, and the Japanese army stationed in the county town had a squadron, as well as a 200-person imperial army, and the military camp in the west of the city was still in use, so it would not be difficult for us to capture the county this time" Zhao Zhi's words alluded to the tunnel leading to the outside of the city in the military camp in the west of the city, but only Zhao Zhi knew about this matter, and the Jewish officers present were confused.

"Taking Zhangwu County is just our first stop, and then we will get in touch with the National Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army, while obtaining intelligence sharing, we must actively march to the plains, only relying on the plains, the armored corps can be useful" Zhao Zhi spent a lot of materials and money to form the armored corps is not used as a decoration, Zhao Zhi needs the armored corps equipped with strong power to become a beast and killer weapon that crushes the Japanese defense line, and he needs the armored corps to make a passage to Outer Mongolia for the follow-up troops.

When Zhao Zhi was assembling troops to actively prepare for war, his information about the assassination of himself by the Japanese special high school was also sent to the CIA, especially Zhao Zhi's classic declaration of war made the CIA's old guys panic, and Thunder's attack on the Japanese side was obviously not in line with the current US interests. But after all, this is the Japanese side that first attacked Zhao Zhi, and if the United States stops the upcoming action of the Thunder against the Japanese side, it will be very unwise both morally and strategically, after all, the United States also needs the Thunder to show force to the Japanese side, and to a certain extent, the Thunder is the spokesperson of the United States in Asia.

"Just watch, don't comment, don't judge, don't express your opinion" This is the attitude of US President Roosevelt, and he also can't see through what the Thunder wants to do, but after he and the elder Rhodes met privately, the Department of Defense received an order to continue to airlift aid to the Thunder. At the same time, along with the supplies arrived at Kunming Airport, there were also a group of senior instructors of the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army, which was a requirement of Zhao Zhi's temporary addition to the agreement, and he wanted to form an airborne force to deal with the rapidly changing war situation in the future.

More and more U.S. military instructors entered Zhao Zhi's Jewish Legion training camp, which is exactly what Zhao Zhi wanted, the quality of the soldiers in the Jewish Legion is uneven, except for a few who have served in the Polish Army and the German Army, most of them are still war idiots, Zhao Zhi needs U.S. military instructors to train these Jewish soldiers for himself, mercenaries can teach them only battlefield experience and some life-saving means, they need to learn more systematic training.

At the same time that Zhao Zhi was actively gathering troops, the commander of the Chinese dispatch army far away in Shanghai, Nishio Shouzo, also responded, Zhao Zhi's troops were all in Yunnan, and the Japanese army was still unable to hit there, but they could attack Chongqing. Since the Nationalist Government was able to allow Zhao Zhi to station troops in China, this showed that there was a certain connection between the Nationalist Government and Zhao Zhi, and the Japanese army was now going to break this connection between the Nationalist Government and Zhao Zhi by attacking Chongqing, knowing that the Chinese were the most suspicious.

Fourteen bombers loaded with bombs took off from Hankou, Hubei Province, and then joined up with 10 bombers taking off from Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, and flew to Chongqing, the destination of this time, escorted by more than a dozen fighters. Taro Kumamoto piloted the plane and flew smoothly in the sky, not worrying about his own safety at all, since the start of the Sino-Japanese war, China's only little air power has long been exhausted, and the imperial army completely dominates the sky, so that the commander of the base is not even willing to send fighter planes to escort the escort, and the young Zhuang officers of the military department even put forward the argument that fighters are useless and demand that the production of bombers be given priority.

Today's weather is very clear, with white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the rolling hills, roads, villages and cities on the ground can be clearly seen from the plane. As the bombers flew over the towns, Kumamoto saw the crowd running in all directions, and felt the urge to dive down and bomb. The sight of the Chinese flying flesh and blood under bomb attacks always excites him, and after each bomb drop, he hovers over the battlefield for a while to admire his masterpiece. However, today's goal is not here, and Kumamoto Taro has to suppress his bloodthirsty desires and look forward to the arrival of Chongqing.

From February 1938 to the present, the Japanese military aviation unit has carried out strategic bombing in Chongqing for two years. Countless people and houses were destroyed in the hands of the Japanese air force, and the Japanese army hoped to break the morale of the Nationalist government resistance by causing a large number of civilian casualties.

Kumamoto Taro and the other three planes began to attack as the first echelon, he pressed down the control stick hard, and roared down towards Chongqing, as the distance gradually approached, the dense buildings on the ground became clearer and clearer, and countless figures ran out of the factory and ran towards the cave below the cliff in an orderly manner. Kumamoto Taro smiled and said, "Let's let you China pigs live a little longer!" "Then speed up the dive.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw several dazzling fires appear in a dense forest, and Kumamoto Taro hurriedly and subconsciously jerked the joystick, and the plane made a palpitating metal grinding sound and rose rapidly, and a cannonball flew close to his wing. The bomber on his left was not so lucky, and before the pilot could react, two shells hit, and the tail of the plane came out with billowing smoke tumbling and falling rapidly, hitting the ground and turning into burning scrap metal.

"Eight grids!" Kumamoto roared angrily, and the plane quickly turned around and rushed towards the place where it had just been attacked, and the other two planes also turned at the same time, joining in the retaliation. Ichiro Kumamoto insidiously locks on his target: four anti-aircraft guns in a glade! The plane swept rapidly over the treetops and suddenly appeared in front of the artillerymen, Kumamoto Ichiro pressed the firing button sharply, and the dense machine-gun bullets suddenly enveloped the entire position, and he clearly saw that the two artillerymen were sent flying, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Not to be outdone, the bomber group divided into several echelons, took turns to assault, and constantly dropped bombs, igniting a sky-high fire in the urban area of Chongqing. The national troops on the ground fought bloodily in the midst of continuous explosions and dense shrapnel: the gunner died, and the loader immediately made up for it; The officer died, and the non-commissioned officer immediately took over the command; When the intestines flowed out, he tied it with a belt and continued to fight; When his arms flew away, he climbed up the gun position with the cannonball between his legs; The gunner's leg was broken, and he still fired fiercely until the last drop of blood was shed; When the ammunition box caught fire, he threw himself on it and extinguished the fire with his flesh and blood.

It is a pity that the Nationalist Government's air defense forces in Chongqing are still too weak, and they cannot withstand the bombardment of the Japanese air force by relying on only a few antiaircraft guns purchased from Canada and France, and the Soviet flying team stationed in Chongqing is also entangled in the Japanese escort fighters, and they can only watch the Japanese bombers bomb the urban area of Chongqing indiscriminately. An hour later, the Japanese army successfully withdrew from the battle at the cost of two bombers and one fighter casualties, and Chongqing had already become a sea of fire.

Only two hours after the end of the air raid on Chongqing, an intelligence officer of the military command who had been captured by the Japanese side was thrown in a sack outside the office building of the Chongqing station of the military command, and the intelligence officer whose limbs were blown off alive could not say a word, but a few words were left on his bare chest by the sharp blade of his hand -- this was the consequence of the provocation. The situation was quickly passed into the villa on the south bank, and the tired Chiang Kai-shek did not speak, but sat silently with his eyes closed for a while, and then instructed Dai Li to inform Zhao Zhi who was far away in Kunming of the situation.

During the war, the means of both sides emerged one after another, and putting pressure on the other side was only one of them, and Chiang Kai-shek's fatigue was not because of the military intelligence officer, but because his fatigue came entirely from the bombing of Chongqing by the Japanese air force. A large number of casualties among the people and a large number of factories were destroyed by bombs, this is the thing that really bothered Chiang Kai-shek, weak air power, this has always been the shortcoming of the Nationalist Government, and he can only pin his hopes on Zhao Zhi now, because he knows that Zhao Zhi has a group of pilots and planes in his hands.

"Agree to fight" There were only four words on the telegram sent from the villa on the south bank, and Zhao Zhi looked at the telegram signed Jiang Zhongzheng in his hand, with a crying and laughing expression on his face. His Jewish regiment did not belong to the battle sequence of the Nationalist Government, and to put it mildly, it rented a place in Kunming for training, but it had nothing to do with the Nationalist Government at all, and it still needed the old man's instructions to start a war with the Japanese army.
