Chapter 70: The Chess Game

100,000 Jewish troops and 50,000 Burmese mercenary troops crossed the Burma-Thailand border, and while the Japanese army was moving south to block the American ground forces, Zhao Zhi finally began his next plan - to attack Thailand and Vietnam. Jingdong became another material distribution center after Lashio, leaving a fighter squadron to garrison Lashio, and the other thunder fighters all transferred to Jingdong, and after Zhao Zhi's attack plan was formulated, the armored division commanded by Joey also rushed to Jingdong at night.

Perhaps in order to guard against thunder, the Japanese army's actions to withdraw troops from Thailand and Vietnam have been covered, and even the military commanders and CIA agents have not been able to figure out how many troops the Japanese have transferred. Before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass, they must collect intelligence before the grain and grass, this is the rule that any commander has to abide by, but Zhao Zhi doesn't care about these, encircling and suppressing the Japanese army is the best excuse for Thunder to attack Thailand and Vietnam, without the Japanese army, what reason does Thunder have to enter Thailand and Vietnam.

Thunder does not belong to any country, but it accepts the employment of any country that is hostile to Japan, and the employment relationship between the Nationalist Government and the United States has long been known to the world, under the banner of encircling and suppressing the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi's mercenary troops can confidently enter all the countries invaded by the Japanese army. Thailand, like Burma, is a Buddhist country, and their standing army has defected to the Japanese army early, and its combat effectiveness is so weak that it is not as good as those landlord security regiments in the country, as long as the second-rate Japanese defense troops entrenched in Thailand are encircled, the whole of Thailand will fall into the hands of thunder.

"Remember your mission, I want Thailand, not those Thai people." Zhao Zhi's attitude towards Thailand is the same as that of Myanmar, he only wants the land and belonging of Thailand, and Zhao Zhi is not interested in those Thais at all. The 300 mercenaries who entered Thailand had a secret mission, and after detecting the movements of the Japanese army in Thailand, these 300 mercenaries would cause riots in Thailand, and all the adult Thai men and those Thai women over the age of 40 were the targets of their agitation, encouraging these people to rise up against the Japanese army's control.

Profit is the best bait, and like many places in Burma, many Thais under the control of the Japanese army do not have enough to eat, and food, weapons, ammunition, and medicine are the sharp weapons to induce them to rise up and fight. In the face of the multiple-choice question of eating a full stomach and starving to death, I believe that those Thais whose brains have not broken down will definitely make the most correct choice, Zhao Zhi does not want to bear the name of a butcher, so he can only try his best to provoke a fight between the Thais and the Japanese army, and then wait and see how the thunder will change.

Thunder's hundreds of thousands of troops are in the same shape as Chen soldiers on the Burma-Thailand border, and such a big move cannot be concealed from the Japanese army and the Thai royal family in Thailand, and William, the British, who is back in charge of Yangon, has received a letter of accountability from the Thai royal family. Different from the attitude of the Nationalist Government to actively resist the war, the Thai royal family believes that they voluntarily joined Japan's so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Plan, and they have a cooperative relationship with Japan, so Thailand is not enslaved and persecuted, and Thunder's troops crossing the border is a contempt and trampling on Thailand's sovereignty, and if Thunder does not withdraw its troops, Thailand will declare war on Thunder.

William now had less than 4,000 British soldiers under his command, and he still had to live a comfortable life by the thunder, so he simply pretended to turn a blind eye to Thailand's intentional wooing, and he accepted the gifts brought by the Thai messenger, but he drove them to the sea and left them to fend for themselves. William is a very practical guy, the Japanese army has been defeated by Thunder in two consecutive large-scale attacks on Burma, and even Yamashita Fengwen, known as the Tiger of the Malays, has suffered a big loss at the hands of Zhao Zhi, not to mention the Thai troops who can only ride elephants barefoot, William does not believe that they will be more difficult to deal with than the Japanese army.

"Sensei take care of them, what can the guy who can only move his mouth do, everything is going according to the original plan." Regarding the letter of accountability of the Thai royal family sent by William, Zhao Zhi just smiled and ignored it. Myanmar is different from Thailand, when the Japanese army invaded Myanmar, the so-called Burmese royal family was almost killed by the Japanese army and those resisting forces, coupled with the thunder's deliberate fueling, by the time Zhao Zhi returned to Myanmar for the second time, the royal family of Burma and other big families had already died out.

But Thailand took refuge in Japan at the beginning, and their royal family has always been courteous to the Japanese army, compared with other countries in South Asia, the Thai royal family is like being in heaven, which is why the Thai royal family is full of confidence. They have always believed that Thailand and Japan are cooperative relations, and there is no enslavement and oppression as Thunder said, and Thunder crossed the border to help them drive out the Japanese army, which is simply a dog with a mouse and a nosy, and they do not welcome it.

The Thai royal family's letter of accountability was obviously no threat to Thunder, and the day after receiving it, Zhao Zhi ordered the troops that had already been assembled to cross the border between Myanmar and Thailand. In order to ensure the stability of the Philippine battlefield, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of South Asian garrisons to the Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore, and Yamashita Fengfumi's 25th Army was one of them. The First Battle of Chanbang caused Yamashita to lose his troops, but the Japanese army sent a large number of locals to form a servant army in Singapore, and Yamashita received more than 100,000 servants.

"Good news, sir, the Japanese army has dried up, and more than 300,000 men over the age of 16 have been recruited from the country into the newly formed division, and we have two lurker squads among them, you must not guess where they are stationed?" Luo Ying, who had followed Rowling from Mandalay, rushed into Zhao Zhi's headquarters. "Here, the message from the Infiltrator Courier indicates that they went here to change guards." Luo Ying found the location on the unfolded map, Zhao Zhi leaned over to look at it, and the place Luo Ying pointed to was Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is also a British colony, which they leased from the Qing government, and the former empire on which the sun never sets has now declined, and if they want to get back the British Isles, which originally belonged to them, the British government-in-exile has to rely on the United States and the Soviet Union. When Zhao Zhi agreed to assassinate Hitler, he not only took benefits from the Soviet Union, but even Britain showed a lot of "sincerity", Burma and Hong Kong were the sincerity paid by Britain, but these two places needed Thunder to snatch back from the Japanese army.

"Can you be sure that our people went to Hong Kong?" Luo Ying just said that 300,000 newly recruited Japanese recruit divisions, Hong Kong is just a small place, the Japanese army cannot stuff so many troops into Hong Kong at once, Zhao Zhi needs a definite answer. Luo Ying, who was asked, nodded very affirmatively, he had the news and information played by the Infiltrator Messenger in his hand, which not only contained the number, number, and firepower configuration of the newly formed division of the Japanese army, but also the number and the name of the commander of the squadron of the division and regiment where the two teams of lurkers were located.

"The Japanese are getting poorer and poorer, and in the huge Hong Kong, they actually only have one infantry wing, and all of them are newly formed wings, which is extremely beneficial to us." The tactical intention of the Japanese base camp to urgently transfer troops to the south was already obvious, and they must have been informed of the intention of the US troops to land in France and the Netherlands, and this was to mobilize all the forces that could be mobilized to stabilize their front in the South Asian theater while the United States and the Soviet Union confronted Germany.

The newly formed 300,000 Japanese divisions will be stationed in the Chinese battlefield to replace those veteran units that have been in battle for a long time, and the replaced Japanese troops will continue to move south into the South Asian battlefield to fight against the US army, which is the last resort for Japan to ensure its own resource channel. "Contact Qinglongping and start the third step of the Spark plan, send all the Burmese in the training camp who have learned to use rifles to fight the Japanese army, I want to see the combat effectiveness of these newly formed divisions of the Japanese army and the Burmese troops are more powerful."

The complete withdrawal of Japanese troops from Burma and the arrival of a large number of Chinese refugees gave Thunder the opportunity to continue to recruit Burmese men into the army, and in just three days, more than 200,000 Burmese men were conscripted into the training camp in Taungoo. The weapons are not enough, just use those Japanese weapons that captured the Japanese army, Xiao Ziyun They fought the Japanese army in Shanxi in a row and also captured a large number of ordnance, as long as there are people fighting, weapons and ammunition are indispensable, Zhao Zhi's intention is only to consume the number of Burmese natives, as for whether the Burmese mercenary troops sent to China can beat the Japanese army, this is not something Zhao Zhi needs to consider.

The 5,000 Spark troops trained by Zhao Zhi and sent to the Hebei region have now expanded to more than 30,000, and many local Imperial Cooperative Forces are also secretly linked to the Spark Army, as long as the Spark troops fight against the Japanese army on a large scale, these Imperial Allied troops that have been reorganized by the Nationalist Government will immediately be able to participate in the war, and the number of Spark troops will exceed 50,000 at that time. 50,000 people are equivalent to two permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and with these 50,000 people galloping around in Hebei, the life of the Japanese army in Hebei will never be easy.

The third step of the Spark plan is the spread of fire, the fire and firewood and grass have been prepared, and the firewood scattered in Hebei can immediately gather together to form a group army to fight the Japanese army with just a thunderous order. The experience of activities in Hebei in the past two years has made the Tinder extremely familiar with the local terrain, and large-scale positional warfare may not be able to defeat the Japanese army, but when it comes to guerrilla warfare and raid warfare, even the guerrillas of the Chinese Communists are not necessarily much stronger than the Tinder troops, because the weapons and equipment of the Tinder troops are much stronger than those of the Chinese guerrillas.

"I'm going to play a big game, and time will tell how important it is." This is what Zhao Zhi said when he talked to Chiang Kai-shek about the Spark Project at the South Bank Villa. The first two steps of the Spark plan have been implemented, and the facts have proved to be very successful, not to mention the achievements of the Sparks, at least Chiang Kai-shek has obtained tens of thousands of troops who dare to take the initiative to fight with the Japanese army, and the combat effectiveness of these troops is not comparable to those units of the national army that have been confronting the Japanese army for many years.
