Chapter 47 Frequent Situations
In just four days, the third time Thunder sent back to China the war report once again aroused the enthusiasm of the people, and the voice of Thunder shouting to the world for the first time using the radio has shocked the vast majority of Chinese, landing on the Japanese mainland to fight, which is what many Chinese soldiers dream of doing. In the next four days, Thunder once again sent back the latest battle report, and the Thunder troops, who landed in Japan alone, defeated the combined forces of the Japanese Sixth Division and the 22nd Division on Kyushu Island, and almost completely annihilated the three Japanese divisions that confronted Thunder.
Thunder is naturally able to fight, this is something that most Chinese people know, as early as before the recovery of Shanxi, the sudden rise of the thunder army once defeated the elite of the Japanese army in Zhangwu County, and then won consecutive battles in Shanxi and participated in the Taiyuan Liberation War. Only ten days have passed since the landing declaration of war was electrified, and the people in the Kuomintang area ushered in a third frenzy, and the Thunder continued their myth of undefeated, and the 23rd Division of the Kwantung Army had also been defeated by the Thunder, and at the same time, the Thunder also besieged the 4th Division of the Japanese Army that landed from Nagasaki.
The excited citizens of Chongqing rushed to tell each other, and even more simply called friends to drink in the downtown to celebrate the great victory of the thunder, and the four Japanese divisions and regiments were defeated one after another in just half a month after the thunder landed on Kyushu Island. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, a squadron of the Japanese army dared to chase a regiment of the national army around, and one of their Japanese squads dared to attack and occupy a county town, but now all this has been overturned, and the thunder of the lone army landing in Japan to crush the Japanese army is as simple as ordinary people eating.
"Good, good, good, Boyuan played well, and played the prestige of our people." Chiang Kai-shek, who received the news, said three good things in a row, and Dai Li, who came to report the situation, couldn't help but secretly envy Zhao Zhi. Dai Li, the famous director of the Military Command Bureau, now also serves as a messenger between Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek, Zhao Zhi needs a medium to publicize the war on Kyushu Island, he wants to provoke the Japanese army, only in this way, Kyushu Island is expected to become a big battlefield. Zhao Zhi did not trust the Ministry of Military Affairs, he only contacted the military commander, and all the battle reports of Thunder on Kyushu Island would be sent to newspapers and radio stations through the military commander.
"Chairman, now some people in the military have put forward the hope that the Ministry of Military Affairs can also send troops to land on Kyushu Island to participate in the war, saying that it is a good thing that the Thunder family cannot go; they also say that Boyuan is just a mercenary leader and cannot represent the national government at all; some people even say that Boyuan cannot be regarded as a Chinese at all, and that Boyuan should be regarded as an American." Dai Li's face was calm and he reported some things collected by the military commanders to Chiang Kai-shek. With the line of Zhao Zhi, Dai Li is now more and more valued by Chiang Kai-shek, and Dai Li, who is getting more and more powerful, begins to look for opportunities to clean up those who slandered him at the beginning, and what he said just now is just a reason for him to find.
"Niang Xipi" Chiang Kai-shek immediately became furious after hearing Dai Li's report, "They are punishing their hearts, punishing their hearts, is it just for those stinky money that Boyuan is fighting with the Japanese army so hard?" What's more, the Nationalist Government has not given Boyuan a piece of the ocean until now, and they are so red-eyed. Chiang Kai-shek, who finished slapping the table, glared at Dai Li fiercely, "What do you military commanders do to eat, don't report to me like this who only talk strange things behind your back, just kill them, kill some monkeys jumping up and down, so that those chickens who eat alone can see the situation clearly." ”
Dai Li's back was shocked by Chiang Kai-shek's reaction, he knew that Chiang Kai-shek valued Zhao Zhi, but he didn't expect Chiang Kai-shek to value Zhao Zhi to such a point, just for a few strange words would order the military commander to kill, which would have been impossible in the past. Although Chiang Kai-shek is the chairman of the Nationalist Government, he also needs to integrate all aspects of the relationship, otherwise the Nationalist Government, which has been crumbling, may have fallen apart long ago. Chiang Kai-shek's anger now can only show one thing, Chiang Kai-shek values Zhao Zhi like his own eyeballs, and whoever moves Zhao Zhi may lose his head.
"In addition, those boys in the army who are clamoring to go to Japan to fight warn that it will be so easy to go to Japan to fight, don't listen to what Boyuan said, I estimate that the actual situation is far more difficult than we know. Boyuan's subordinate named Mo Lun, in order to transport supplies to Kyushu Island, is already ill, you find a few better doctors to go to Kunming for diagnosis and treatment, don't ask Boyuan to come back and say that he is not there, and his people will live like a broken household. Dai Li, who walked out of the villa on the south bank, turned his back to the sky, and then remembered that Chiang Kai-shek once called Zhao Zhi his tiger general, and it seemed that he would never be wrong to take Zhao Zhi's line.
Coincidentally, when Chiang Kai-shek was furious in the villa on the south bank, Mao Zedong, who was far away in the cave in Yan'an, was also slapping the table and losing his temper. After Zhao Zhi landed on Jeju Island, the CCP held a meeting to discuss and make a decision to send a group of grassroots commanders from the Eighth Route Army who were both politically and militarily competent to Jiaodong to learn the tactics and tactics of the Thunder.
The decision-making of the CCP's top leaders is good, but they underestimated Zhao Zhi's vigilance against the CCP, Zhao Zhi didn't care about the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army, nor did he care about the gap between the Eighth Route Army and Thunder, he just couldn't accept the rules and regulations of the Eighth Route Army. As early as when he was in Zhangwu County, when Zhang Lan, who was born as a guerrilla leader, was the county magistrate, he once implemented the model of the *** base area in Zhangwu County, which gave Zhao Zhi a headache for a while.
It was precisely because of Zhao Zhi's vigilance against the CCP that the cadres of the Eighth Route Army who were transferred to Jiaodong rushed to Jiaodong with great difficulty, but they were told that they could stay in Jiaodong at will, but Thunder could not enter and leave the military control area in Jiaodong at will, and Thunder's follow-up military operations did not have their share. Zhao Zhi's arrangement is actually well-intentioned, the mercenaries who followed Zhao Zhi to land on Kyushu Island are all Chinese mercenaries, and most of the mercenaries left by Zhao Zhi in Jiaodong are foreign mercenaries, first of all, there is a language communication barrier between those people in the Eighth Route Army and foreign mercenaries, and once friction occurs, even someone who can not explain it can be found.
In order to land on Kyushu Island, Zhao Zhi did not hesitate to spend a huge price to recruit 400,000 aborigines from Thailand and Vietnam to form a mixed force to go north to Kyushu to participate in the war, and he had enough cannon fodder in his hands, not less than more than 200 people of the Eighth Route Army. What's more, Zhao Zhi didn't know if the CCP was getting along, in case there were huge casualties after the people of the Eighth Route Army went to Kyushu Island, Zhao Zhi couldn't explain it clearly even if he had a mouth, not to mention that he didn't bother to explain it at all, so Zhao Zhicai ordered the people of the Eighth Route Army to move freely in Jiaodong.
The first few days were better, but after the news of Thunder's landing on the Japanese mainland was announced by the radio, the cadres of the Eighth Route Army who were ordered to rush to Jiaodong were not happy. You don't let us enter the so-called military control zone, okay, then we can organize ourselves to find trouble with the Japanese puppet army, this is always okay.
More than 200 cadres of the Eighth Route Army who were angry in their hearts directly formed a cadre company, and just at this time, the news that the 74th Army was pushed back to Binzhou by the southward Kwantung Army Division came out, and the cadres and companies together simply went straight to Dongying along Shouguang. Not to mention, the more than 200 people drawn out by the Eighth Route Army were all guys who had led soldiers to fight hard battles and were full of bad stomachs, relying on 100 Japanese-style rifles deceived from the Jiaodong Thunder Force to fight with the Japanese puppet army in the southbound Dongying one after another, and by the time Yan'an received the news that they were besieged in Purification Town by the forward troops of the southbound Kwantung Army, the cadre company had expanded to more than 800 people, and the weapons and equipment had been replaced with a Japanese-style one.
"What the hell is this Wang Sanhu doing, didn't he say that he wanted them to withdraw to Jiaodong? Why did you run to Purification Town again? Mao Zedong was so angry that even the teacup on the table was vigorously waved to the ground. In order to find the location of Purification Town, the three guards under him searched for more than ten minutes before they found the location of Purification Town between Dongying and Binzhou. It was indeed not easy for the northbound cadres headed by Wang Sanhu to form an armed force of 800 people under such conditions, and just three days ago, after learning the news that the cadre company had successfully ambushed a squadron of Japanese puppet army, Mao Zedong, who was overjoyed, also asked the gang to make a bowl of braised pork for him to celebrate.
Who would have thought that it was only three days later, and the cadre company was surrounded by the Japanese army in Purification Town, Mao Zedong was not uncommon with the Japanese-style equipment in the hands of the cadre company, what he cared about was the people in the cadre company. Those are all the backbones drawn from the Eighth Route Army, Mao Zedong kept it for the future, and if a nest was made dumplings by the Kwantung Army, the losses of the Eighth Route Army this time would be too great.
What to do? asked Wang Yaowu in Binzhou for help, it seems that Wang Yaowu himself is now unable to protect himself, and asks Zhao Zhi for help, but Zhao Zhi is now on Kyushu Island, although Zhao Zhi still has a mercenary force in Jiaodong, but those people only listen to Zhao Zhi's command, not to mention that the CCP just sent a telegram to ask for help, or sent a representative to go over in person, and maybe people didn't even see him. The CCP was in a dilemma, and it was not until Mao Zedong's guards outside the cave knocked on the door, and the CCP high-level people who smoked in the cave remembered that they had been in the cave for two hours.
"The intelligence department just sent the information, saying that our cadre company besieged by the Kwantung Army in Purification Town has been released and is now retreating to Shouguang." The information handed in by the guards relieved the CCP high-level people in the cave, and after reading the telegram, the hungry high-level officials stayed with Mao Zedong to make do with it. In fact, their meal was not pleasant, because just as the meal was being served, a telegram from the cadre company was also delivered.
"We owe Zhao Zhi a favor again this time." Mao Zedong, who read the telegram, was silent, and the cadre company that was besieged in Purification Town by the advance of the Kwantung Army did not get out of trouble by himself, but was rescued by a Thunder mercenary force interspersed with Purification Town. More than half of the cadres of more than 800 people were killed or wounded, but only a dozen of the backbone of the Eighth Route Army who went north to Jiaodong were killed or wounded.
