Chapter 133: Driving Okamura Ningji Crazy (4)
Okamura Ningji made the right choice, he ordered the special high division to send elite intelligence officers to investigate the intelligence of the Jiaodong National Army, but unfortunately all this came too late, and the order of the special high class had not been released through the radio, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army had already begun a large-scale mobilization in accordance with Zhao Zhi's battle plan. The speed of reconnaissance by the intelligence officers of the special high school section was far from catching up with the speed of the movement of the troops of the 74th Army, and perhaps when they sent out the information, the 74th Army was still in this position, and by the time the Japanese army in Jinan received the information, the 74th Army had already moved to other places.
"Yaga, how can this be? Could it be that there was a conflict between Zhao Zhi and the 74th Army? Okamura Ningji, who was lying on his back on the hospital bed, was not idle, and a large pile of love newspapers was about to fill the hospital bed, which was all information about Zhao Zhi and the Jiaodong National Army. The abnormal movement of the 74th Army and Zhao Zhi's immobility are in stark contrast, and the special high school found out that the 74th Army has been transferred across the board, but the troops belonging to Thunder have been stranded in Jiaodong and immovable, which makes Okamura Ningji completely dizzy, what does Zhao Zhi want to do?
"No, according to Zhao Zhi's character, there will never be a conflict with the 74th Army of China at this time, and the 74th Army is a descendant of the China Army equipped with American-style equipment." Okamura Ninji, with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the ward, thinking. But if Zhao Zhi did not clash with the 74th Army, why was only the 74th Army urgently mobilized, while Zhao Zhi's own Thunder Force remained still? After dragging the map and studying it for a long time, Okamura Ninji couldn't find out the clue, and it wasn't until the information from the special high school sent again that he finally found the answer he wanted.
"Shijiazhuang? What does Zhao Zhi want in Shijiazhuang? "The corners of Okamura Ningji's eyes began to twitch again, the special high class found a large number of armed forces dressed in black in the direction of Shijiazhuang leading to Yangquan, and the lightning signs on those people were too conspicuous for the people of the special high class to see without seeing." But Zhao Zhi is still in Jiaodong, what does he want Shijiazhuang to do? Something suddenly flashed in his mind made Okamura Ningji tense his nerves, yes, what Zhao Zhi has always wanted is Shijiazhuang, the reason why he will stand still in Jiaodong is to attract his attention and help his troops besiege Shijiazhuang.
Okamura Ningji, who thought he had found Zhao Zhi's door, flashed anger in his eyes, Zhao Zhi repeatedly damaged his face, and let his reputation on the local side be extremely bad, and it was time to punish this person. "Immediately convene a meeting, all officers above the rank of wing, right away, in the hospital." Okamura Ningji, who was extremely excited, immediately called a meeting of his officers, and it was Zhao Zhi who was always pressing him to beat, and he planned to give Zhao Zhi an ambush this time.
"It's okay, he beats him, we beat ours, and no one gets in anyone's way." The inside line lurking in the Japanese army headquarters in Jinan risked his life to send back information, but Zhao Zhi, who had read the information, still looked like an understatement, and they were worried about Yan Wudao. The 200,000 Burmese troops were selected by Yu Dazhi from the Burmese who had been trained for more than half a year.
"I said you guys are just worrying, those Burmese troops were originally used as cannon fodder to attract Japanese firepower, Okamura Ningji must think that my target is Shijiazhuang, he would never have thought that we had reached Zhangqiu." Faced with Yan Wudao's worries, Zhao Zhi had to tell his plan early. "Okamura Ningci will definitely send troops north to fortify through the Qinghe and Ningjin lines for the sake of Shijiazhuang's predicament, maybe this old boy will be thinking about setting up a trap for us."
"There are troops of the 74th Army on the periphery of Dezhou and Binzhou, Okamura Ningji does not dare to draw troops from these two places, his only choice now is the Japanese puppet army troops in other places in Hebei and Jinan, at this time tomorrow, the third attack and harassment operation in the entire Hebei will be launched, and Okamura Ningji can only transfer troops from Shandong to the north to support Shijiazhuang, then our opportunity will come."
Yan Wudao seemed to understand what Zhao Zhi meant, but this plan was too crazy, and he actually wanted to use 200,000 Burmese troops as bait to lure Okamura Ningji into the bait. "Sir, do you mean to use the 200,000 Burmese in Yangquan as bait to force Okamura Ninji to mobilize troops from Jinan to the north to fortify, and then we take the opportunity to attack Jinan after the fight over there?"
"That's it," Zhao Zhi nodded slowly with a cigar in his mouth, "Don't look at our noisy fuss in Shandong, but Okamura Ningji is only a few skin injuries at most, and the Japanese troops under his command are not injured." If we hit Jinan hard, we will definitely hit our heads and return with blood, so we have to find a way to mobilize the Japanese army under the name of Okamura Ningji, so that the number of Japanese puppet troops in Jinan is at the same level as ours, so that we can have the possibility of attacking Jinan, otherwise we can only wait. ”
"It's all those national troops who make trouble, if they can cooperate in the battle according to Chairman Chiang's orders, where will we and the 74th Army do these tricks in vain." Ye Kong, who had just returned with the sniper unit, was a high-spirited person, and he had always looked down on the troops of the national army. Hebei and Shandong have become a chaotic situation, but the national army troops around these two places are all listening to propaganda and not listening to the tune, and will only preserve their strength and shrink into their own defense areas to watch, if this is not the case, maybe Okamura Ningji would have been beaten out of Shandong a long time ago.
"Forget it, thousands of rice breed thousands of people, people don't want to fight with us, you can still tie them up, Chairman Jiang can't call them, our thunder is just a guest army, how can we command them." Ye Kong's cold mention of this matter made Zhao Zhi's heart also flush with a trace of bitterness. For a long time, Zhao Zhi has been deliberately avoiding this question, Thunder is only a guest army, a guest army hired by the Nationalist Government, but at present, in addition to the 74th Army, which is currently fighting with the Japanese puppet army on the Shandong battlefield, it is Zhao Zhi's Thunder Army.
The strength of the invading Japanese army is only a few million, and after the U.S. military attacked South Asia, the number of Japanese troops in China is decreasing every moment, and as long as all the anti-Japanese forces can join forces, the invading Japanese army may not be able to resist the counteroffensive of the Chinese army. But the actual situation now is that there are many factions in the national army, especially those military bigwigs in the Ministry of Military Affairs will only preserve their strength, and they can even cope with Chiang Kai-shek's orders, not to mention that it is just the thunder of the guest army, and it is already very good to get the support of the 74th Army and the 300,000 reserve army, which is much stronger than the thunder fighting alone.
The development of events was as Zhao Zhi expected, Okamura Ningji was indeed preparing to dig a pit and set up an ambush for Zhao Zhi in Shijiazhuang, and the military commander's internal line lurking in the Japanese army headquarters in Jinan continuously sent back information, saying that Okamura Ningji was formulating a battle plan codenamed "Changping". Zhao Zhi is not familiar with Chinese history, Yan Wudao can't even know a few words, not to mention Ye Kong, who grew up in Germany, and in the end, it was Yan Wudao's mercenary squad leader who was originally an officer of the national army to solve Zhao Zhi's confusion.
The Battle of Changping is a famous battle during the unification of the world by the Qin State, and its fame lies not in how fierce the battle was, but because the famous general of the Qin State at that time, Bai Qi, killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in Changping at one time. "My good man, 400,000 people were buried alive, this dog's day Bai Qi is a ruthless person." After listening to the explanation of his squad leader to Changping, Yan Wudao's eyes were full of intentions, if Thunder could bury 400,000 Japanese soldiers alive at one time, would it also be famous all over the world?
"Well, this is probably what Okamura Ningji's Changping plan means, he wants to annihilate the 200,000 Burmese troops we deployed in Yangquan." Zhao Zhi also nodded at this answer. Zhao Zhi has always forced Okamura Ningji very hard, and now that the opportunity for revenge has come, how can Okamura Ningji, who is bound to take revenge, let go of such a good opportunity, maybe that old boy will hope that he is also in the 200,000 Burmese troops.
"You all heard it just now, and the one who is fighting against Bai Qi is Zhao Kuo, who can only talk on paper, I think even if I throw you to the Qin State, you can also kill him 400,000 Zhao troops like Bai Qi." Zhao Zhi was very rare to joke with Yan Wudao, "Although the combat effectiveness of the Burmese troops is not as good as the Japanese army, they are not Zhao Kuo, and the officers who command the Burmese troops are all carefully selected from the Chongqing Military Prison. ”
When Burmese mercenary troops entered China to help in the war, there was no shortage of officers who were familiar with the domestic situation and terrain to take command, and the use of criminal officers who were imprisoned in military prisons was the result of private discussions between Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek. The military commanders of the front-line units have all kinds of reasons for committing crimes, and these people do not lack command ability and bravery, and as long as they are given a chance to make meritorious contributions, few people will choose to give up.
"Don't think about it, Luo Ying has been bringing people into Jinan for several days, I wonder if you will also bring people in to see the situation, Shijiazhuang is fighting, we have to wait for the opportunity to move, the brothers in the city are the key to this battle, you go, I can rest assured." Seeing that Yan Wudao was a little moved by the battle in Shijiazhuang, Zhao Zhi hurriedly said something to dispel his impulsive thoughts, that was a meat grinding field, and Zhao Zhi would not send Yan Wudao to death.
"Remember your mission, before you received my signal, you were all ordinary people, only doing reconnaissance and not acting, even if Okamura Ningji walked opposite you, you can't make a move, you are responsible for those brothers in the city." Zhao Zhi repeatedly instructed Yan Wudao, who was obviously not in the state, until Yan Wudao nodded and assured that Zhao Zhi could be regarded as letting him go.
