"We must destroy this airfield in Zhangwu County at any cost, otherwise our troops in Shanxi will be in too awkward situations" The Dispatch Army Command made a decision and decided to send additional aviation units from Hanzhong and Shijiazhuang to Shanxi, striving to destroy this airfield in Thunder in one fell swoop. However, due to the problems of carrying ammunition and auxiliary fuel tanks, the fighters departing from these two places did not respond for a long time, so that Zhao Zhi, who was urgently deployed in Zhangwu County, spent a whole day safely, and until the fighter units transferred from Xi'an successfully arrived at Qinglongping Airport, the Japanese air force did not officially set off.

50 large bombers, 120 fighters, and 30 transport planes landed on the runway in turn, which made Zhao Zhi's mood extremely good. Fortunately, when Zhao Zhi established Qinglongping Airport, he had always planned according to the large airport, otherwise it would really be a bit impossible to fit so many fighters. The types of bombers and fighters are a bit miscellaneous, all of which are trophies captured by the German army from Britain and France, but fortunately, most of the fighter pilots recruited by Zhao Zhi are also from these two countries, and there is no problem in flying these fighters.

It has been three days since Operation Huotang, 12 targets have been destroyed, and there are still 20 targets waiting to be attacked, Zhao Zhi's conference room is crowded with fighter commanders, and everyone is sitting around the big map of Shanxi on the table for the final discussion. According to Zhao Zhi's thinking, since the follow-up fighters have arrived, then simply concentrate all the fighters and strive to strike at the remaining 20 targets in one day.

Zhao Zhi's idea is so, but the commander of the fighter has a different idea, today there was a matter of Japanese spies at the airport, and they have all heard that the safety of Qinglongping Airport is the guarantee of whether Thunder can open up the situation in Shanxi, if there is a problem here, then all the preparations in the early stage of Thunder will be in vain, so everyone insists on disagreeing to send all fighters. After some deliberation, the fighter unit finally agreed to have bombers and half of the fighters in the airfield for tomorrow's operation, but half of the fighters had to be left in the airfield as a defensive force.

Zhao Zhi now regrets that he did not build the Qinglongping Airport more than 100 times in the first place, and there are still more than 100 fighters and bombers parked on the airports in Xi'an and Kunming. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but tighten his arms more and more, and the angry Rowling panted and pounded Zhao Zhi's body hard.

Now Thunder really has the strength to wage war against the Japanese army, so early in the morning of June 4, after the first batch of fighters took off, the reporters gathered in Zhangwu County were summoned to the barracks in the west of the city. The commanders of several Jewish regiments who were called as foils also appeared in front of reporters, which really confirmed the news of the Thunder Troop.

There was only a minute of brief speech, and it seemed that they had not had time to interview and ask questions, and the blonde woman who looked like thunder just talked to herself for a minute, and the dazed reporters were politely invited out of the barracks. However, the reporters who were summoned, did not complain, and the moment they walked out of the barracks, these reporters rushed all the way to the telegraph office with all their strength, and everyone wanted to get the news out as soon as possible, and the news about the thunder was very sought-after at the moment.

"After the Thunder Defense carried out a four-day attack on the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi, it is about to send troops to fight against the Japanese army"

"There is a new trend in Thunder Defense, and 100,000 soldiers are pointing at Taiyuan"

"The male soldiers are long, and as soon as the thunder comes out, the Japanese are all destroyed"

There is no faster movement in the world than the reporters, and the telegraph office is full of the heads of all kinds of reporters, both Chinese and foreign, and all kinds of gimmicks are sent back to their respective newspapers, just to be typeset and printed, and then appear in the streets and alleys, restaurants, and teahouses. The newly built Zhangwu County Telegraph Office can be described as a bumper harvest year, as long as Thunder does not leave the forward base here, as long as Zhao Zhi is still here, their business will always be prosperous, and several big families in the city who participate in the telegraph office will wake up with laughter several times when they sleep these days, laughing that Zhao Zhi is a god of wealth at all.

The news of Thunder's dispatch of troops was also sent back to their respective superior units by the military commanders and the CCP's intelligence station in Zhangwu County at the first time, and Zhao Zhi chose to temporarily become deaf as a deaf ear. If you want the horse to run fast, it is not enough to rely on the horsewhip, but also to feed some night grass from time to time, in the same way, Zhao Zhi also pointed to obtaining information from the two of them, so occasionally showing them some harmless information is also a means of blame.

"What do you think of the news of the Thunder's troops? Let's talk about it, I'll reward you with chili peppers" The caves in Yan'an are still smoky and crowded with people, Mao Zedong, who is holding a cigarette roll between his fingers, jokes with everyone, who doesn't know that the chili pepper is his lifeline, maybe he just said that he wanted to give the chili pepper, and after a while, he immediately changed the hexagram, which one of the people here has not been tricked by him because of this, this trick is now not good.

"I think, Thunder is really here this time, our intelligence station feedback, Thunder's plane has been bombing the Japanese army in Shanxi for three days in a row, from the current situation we have, the casualties of the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi are not very large, Thunder's main target is the Japanese puppet army's oil, logistics materials and strategic facilities such as airports" Li Kenong habitually touched his nose, paused slightly, and saw that Mao Zedong had no reaction, so he continued, "So we analyze and judge, The purpose of such a large-scale air raid on the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi was to prepare for the infantry."

"I agree with Comrade Kenong's opinion," Zhu De, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, who was ill and stayed in Yan'an for medical treatment, continued to speak after Li Kenong's words, "We organized people to carefully analyze several battles of this thunder in Shanxi, and we found that Zhao Zhi, the commander of the thunder, was a very thoughtful person, and in response to the words of the ancients, this person was a person who liked to plan and then act. At present, we don't know if the 100,000-strong troops they announced are true, but I believe that since Thunder has already said that they will send troops to war with the Japanese army, then they will definitely do it, otherwise their air raids in the past few days will be meaningless."

Although Mao Zedong did not speak, he also agreed with Zhu De's words, Zhao Zhi is indeed a person who likes to plan and then act, just look at his previous battles in Shanxi. It was only at this time that Mao Zedong somewhat understood the intention of Thunder's sudden announcement of the bounty order, and as soon as Thunder's bounty order was issued, Yan'an analyzed this time, but they came to the conclusion that Thunder was responding to the United States' declaration of war on Japan, and it was simply to promote Thunder, which was a meaningless gimmick.

But now it seems that Zhao Zhi's move is really brilliant, first announcing the bounty order, which caused the enemy-occupied area to surge, then the continuous bombing of fighter planes, and now the news of sending troops is suddenly announced. Mao Zedong judged that as long as the Thunder infantry troops fought the Japanese army in Shanxi, taking advantage of the chaos, those people who responded to the bounty order would go crazy to attack the small forces of the Japanese puppet army. As long as they see blood on their hands, these people are no longer the ruled who are willing to swallow their anger, they dare to arm themselves with the weapons they have snatched, and fight with the Japanese puppet army.

Mao Zedong could even imagine that in the security zone opened up by Thunder, those people with Japanese army identity cards enthusiastically joined the Thunder troops, and I believe that it will not be long before the troops in Zhao Zhi's hands will not be just 100,000 people, but will likely snowball into hundreds of thousands or even millions. This person is really terrible, Mao Zedong suddenly had a trace of vigilance against Zhao Zhi in his heart, and he agreed with the thunderous anti-Japanese war confidant, but if such an appealing person finally stood on the side of the Kuomintang, it would be a disaster for ***.

Zhou Enlai, who was sitting next to Mao Zedong, also did not speak, and when Mao Zedong lit the third cigarette, the two looked at each other tacitly, obviously they wanted to go together. After Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong glanced at each other, they cleared their throats and said with some reserve, "Since the thunder strike is ready to fight with the Japanese army in Shanxi, then our troops must also make corresponding preparations, the current situation of the enemy and us is not very clear, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army has been standing still, and the attitude with the Japanese army is also very ambiguous, so while we are actively preparing for war, we must also be wary of changes in the Jin Sui army."

Zhou Enlai's words made several generals in the army present nod their heads uncontrollably, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army is indeed a problem, the Shanxi war situation has always been unclear, and the attitude of the Jin Sui army plays a decisive role. Zhao Zhi's thunder troops can fight again, Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army is still the head snake of Shanxi, in case Yan Xishan and the Japanese army secretly colluded, when Zhao Zhi and the Japanese army died, stabbed from the back, this is simply a devastating blow to the entire Shanxi war situation.

"We only have one recruit battalion in Zhangwu County, should we continue to send recruits from another regiment, Zhao Zhi is still very generous, anyway, the weapons and equipment they captured from the Japanese army are not eye-catching, but it is better to cheapen us" Zhu De said jokingly. Since Zhao Zhi's troops fought with the Japanese army in Shanxi, their Eighth Route Army has obtained a lot of Japanese-style equipment from Zhao Zhi's hands, and the Eighth Route Army has recently reorganized three new regiments.
