"You are the commander of the forward force, and you also proposed the plan to take a fork in the road to intercept the Japanese army, why didn't you take the road situation into account in advance? Why didn't the 2000 Burmese guerrillas assigned to your armored detachment take with them? They are not as good as you in the war, but they have lived in the mountains for generations, and they are very familiar with the terrain here, and if you hadn't driven those Burmese guerrillas back to Mandalay halfway, you might have intercepted more than twice as many Japanese troops this time as you are now."

Joey, who commanded the armored detachment on the battlefield to rampage against the Japanese army, took a break at this time, because standing in front of him was Zhao Zhi, this person was his boss, and he was the person Joey did not dare to offend. Zhao Zhi came to support with the Stalker rocket artillery vehicle, and Joey's plan to take a fork in the road to intercept the Japanese army was only received by Zhao Zhi when the battle was about to start. More than 60 tanks and armored vehicles and 500 Jewish infantry want to deal with 20,000 Japanese troops, Zhao Zhi may not be able to do such a crazy thing, fortunately, Joey's timing is good, and he appeared on the flank of the Japanese drama when the fighter troops are attacking, otherwise when Zhao Zhi arrives, he can only come to collect Joey's body.

The boldness of the Americans, Zhao Zhi had already learned in his previous life, but he didn't expect the Americans in World War II to be so crazy, it seems that the madness of the Americans is deep in the bloodline, regardless of time and geographical restrictions. By the time the follow-up troops under Zhao Zhi's command arrived, the battle had already ended, and the Jewish infantry who had taken a fork in the road had also arrived at the battlefield, but their mission was only to clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded.

After a full three hours of fighting, the defeated Japanese army left more than 3,400 Japanese troops here, plus the Japanese troops of the 148th Wing who were blocked by the sweeping team on the outer edge of the woodland, only this battle, Joey's armored detachment and sweeping team caused more than 5,000 casualties to the Japanese army, if you count the Japanese baggage that Yanlong led people to blow up, this battle is undoubtedly a big victory.

But when Zhao Zhi saw the sweeping team resting on the edge of the battlefield, Zhao Zhi's anger couldn't help but spew out, the cleaning team was full of 1,200 people, and after crossing the river, the cleaning team has been performing some small tasks to clean up the Japanese army that has slipped through the net. This battle was the first time they really had a confrontation with the Japanese army, because Joey changed his plan of action, so that two-thirds of the sweepers suffered casualties, and less than 400 of the 1,200 people remained. These people, like Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops, are Zhao Zhi's killer baby bumps, and Zhao Zhi is distressed when they are beaten like this in this battle alone.

"Boss, this is the command knife of the captain of the 148th Wing of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army and the captain of the Liuchuan Search Wing, from now on, there will be no numbers of these two wings in the 56th Division" Joey, who had been taught by Zhao Zhi for more than half an hour, cheekily handed the two Dazuo matching knives captured from the battlefield to Zhao Zhi. Joey is a guy who is used to looking at eyes, and after being with the mercenaries for a long time, he has long learned the Chinese way of observing words and colors.

", just take two broken knives and let me let you go, I'll tell you, this matter is not over, when I return to Mandalay, I will settle accounts with you little by little" The two Dazuo's sabers were accepted by Zhao Zhi, but Joey still didn't have a good face. The things have been sent out, and Joey is full of nonchalance to make a bunch of cigarettes with Yan Long, as far as he knows, his boss is not a person who likes to settle accounts after the autumn, as long as he doesn't make a move when the incident happens, he will definitely be fine when he goes back to Mandalay.

"Come here, let's calculate the follow-up battle plan" Zhao Zhi gathered Xiao Ziyun who came with him, and found a fairly smooth big stone and spread out the map. "The total strength of the 22nd and 56th divisions of the Japanese army is more than 29,000 people, and the landing in Rangoon and the blockade of Taungoo have caused almost 3,000 casualties to them, while the sortie of the sweeping team and armored detachment has caused more than 7,000 casualties to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army that can withdraw to Taungoo will not exceed 18,000 people."

"I just received the information, our intelligence officer lurking in Rangoon said that the 18th Division and the 55th Division of the Japanese army that had landed in Rangoon had left Yangon yesterday, but the scouts we had arranged on the front line of Taungoo had never seen this Japanese army appear, so I judged that the destination of the 18th and 55th Divisions of the Japanese Army should be here" Zhao Zhi's fingers slowly moved on the map, and finally landed on Taunggyi in the northeast of Taungoo.

"Taunggyi?" Xiao Ziyun and their eyes widened with the landing point of Zhao Zhi's finger, the troops who crossed the river with thunder were claimed to be 50,000, but the actual number was only 30,000, and the second airborne division that should have appeared in the sequence of the troops crossing the river had already been sent by Zhao Zhi to Baotou to wait for the airborne landing in the Soviet Union, and the rest of the Jewish troops were placed by Zhao Zhi along the highway from Lashio to Kunming to protect the smooth flow of the road, if the 18th and 55th divisions of the Japanese army took Dongzhi at this time, then their final goal should be Lashio.

"Yes, you guessed right, the 18th and 55th Divisions of the Japanese Army are going to copy our back road, and their ultimate goal is Lashio. As long as we take Lashio to cut off our rear road, and the Japanese troops who retreat to Donghu move forward like this, we will be flanked in Mandalay from front to back, and when the Japanese troops in Myitkyina go south to fight together, we will be in a situation of encirclement on three sides, and the Japanese army will be well calculated" Zhao Zhi pointed out the plans of the Japanese army, but there was no trace of nervousness on his face.

"My original plan was to fight with the Japanese army with Sister Mu and Bamo, but the speed of the Japanese army was too slow, so I had to let the troops continue to move south, and it was beyond my expectations to defeat the Japanese Sixth Division, but this eighteenth division heard that it is quite powerful, and I really want to see it" Zhao Zhi's brainless words confused Xiao Ziyun and them, listening to the meaning of this, Zhao Zhi planned to face the Japanese Eighteenth Division head-on.

"Sir, all our mercenary units and some Jewish troops have been released, and the remaining Jewish troops are far from having enough experience in positional warfare. Among the staff officers, only Xiao Ziyun dared to speak out to persuade Zhao Zhi. The lack of Thunder's troops has always been a big problem, and if it were to prepare for the Japanese army in Donghu while preparing for the Japanese army that might pass through Taunggyi, the remaining 20,000 troops of Thunder might not be able to afford such a division of troops.

"What? Do you think I'm going to find the 18th Division of the Japanese Army? Zhao Zhi smiled and lit a cigar, "I am a major general who is short of soldiers now, but where are we now?" This is Burma, and Burma is not only mountainous and forested, but also a large number of mountain people who have no food to eat, as long as they give them weapons and ammunition, these people are the best jungle warriors, and the Burmese guerrillas on the Taungoo defense line are the best proof of this."

Zhao Zhi's words made Xiao Ziyun and the others suddenly realize, "Sir, do you mean that we still follow the old rules, and we will provide weapons, ammunition and food to arm the Burmese people, so that they can contain the Japanese army in Taunguri, so that we can draw our forces and turn to deal with the Japanese 18th and 55th divisions in Taunggyi?" Xiao Ziyun, who reacted the fastest, muttered a lot, and his face showed an expression that I said it was right, you hurry up and praise me.

"You are only half right, and the remaining half is completely wrong" Zhao Zhi smiled and flicked the cigarette ash, which made Xiao Ziyun's extremely stinky expression instantly turn into embarrassment, "We have fought several battles with the Japanese army in succession, and in addition to mortars, grenadiers, grenades, explosives and machine guns that can be used, those 38 rifles are useless at all, rather than leaving them idle in the warehouse for nothing, it is better to arm a group of Burmese people out." From this day on, our troops will go back to Mandalay and Lashio, and hand over Taungoo and Taunggyi to the Burmese to deal with, no matter how many Burmese people die what does it matter to us, the only thing we have to lose is some useless loot piled up in warehouses."

Inside the thunder is Zhao Zhi's words, Zhao Zhi's words must be followed, using the Burmese to resist the Japanese army landing in Burma, this is the strategy set in Kunming before the thunder attack on Burma, so Xiao Ziyun Although they are half-understood, they don't feel that there is anything wrong. The main purpose of Thunder's attack on Burma is to contain the Japanese army's strength, so it has nothing to do with Thunder or something, but if you want to use Thunder's troops to fight a war of attrition with the Japanese army, Xiao Ziyun and they will not do it, the appearance of the Burmese guerrillas just solves this problem, what else are they not happy about.

"Sir, I also captured the Japanese prisoner No. 100, what should I do?" Yan Jiuzhang, who was shot in the thigh, came over with his legs, this kid is also a guy who sees the seams, the cleaning team won a big victory this time, Yan Jiuzhang naturally wanted to show his face in front of Zhao Zhi. The Japanese prisoners on the battlefield were not only those that Yan Jiuzhang was holding, but the Jewish infantry under Joey also turned out a lot of Japanese soldiers who had been shot or stunned by shells from the pile of dead people, and at this moment they were being watched by dozens of Jewish soldiers with loaded guns and squatting in a corner of the battlefield.

"The old rule, the thunder is not left alive, all of them are killed, and the corpses are left in place" Yan Jiuzhang, who received the order, whistled at the dozens of Jewish soldiers and made another gesture, and the rain-like gunshots rang out instantly, and the Japanese prisoners who were squatting on the ground were beaten into blood gourds by bullets and fell in a pool of blood.

"You idiots don't know how to save bullets, you don't know how to clean them up with bayonets" Joey, who strode over, picked up a 38 rifle with a bayonet on the ground, and poofed it into the chest of a Japanese soldier who had been shot but not died. It was also an old tradition of Thunder to mend the corpses, but generally only the mercenaries still adhered to this custom, and the Jewish soldiers were most likely able to release water.
