Chapter 18: Preparing for Chaos

With only 300 mercenaries, Yan Wudao successfully ambushed and annihilated a heavy army of the Japanese army, which not only taught Choi Jinan's guerrillas a shocking lesson, but also shocked the Korean Japanese army. The Japanese military will not forget how the 6th Division, known as the Kumamoto Division, was completely annihilated in Burma, and they will not forget how Yamashita Fumi, known as the Malay Tiger, was driven out of Burma by Zhao Zhi.

"Urge the DPRK to mobilize manpower to form the Korean People's Army, and arm them with captured Japanese-style weapons to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Yan Wudao's telegram had been sent to Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi seemed to be a little annoyed by Yan Wudao's "not doing his job". His order to Yan Wudao was to muddy the waters, not to ask him to take his elite mercenaries to engage the Japanese army head-on, and it was not a big deal to ambush the Japanese army with a disparity of one to three troops, but once the action deviated, Zhao Zhi's follow-up plan would be difficult to continue.

After landing at Incheon, Zhao Zhi had already received information from the military commanders, saying that the Kwantung Army was making deployment adjustments, and there was a faint intention to transfer troops to support North Korea. A mere Jeju Island is not worth the lives of tens of thousands of Thunder soldiers, and the purpose of providing weapons and equipment for the Korean People's Army is to make the Koreans entangle with the Kwantung Army, and only in this way can Zhao Zhi squeeze out time to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese army on the Japanese mainland.

"Look, I said, we did something wrong with good intentions this time, sir, this is angry." Yan Wudao, who received the palindrome, looked around at the commanders under him with a depressed face, these guys were all beaming with joy just now, but now they all drooped their heads one by one. Yan Wudao, who was secretly laughing in his heart, held back the smile on his face and didn't dare to tell the truth, Thunder has always been known for winning a hundred battles, and the mercenaries under his command have already had some momentum to defy all armed forces, and it is useless to cooperate with his own husband to play black and red, otherwise these boys will not have to their tails to the sky.

"Okay, don't be discouraged one by one, our next action will go according to Mr.'s plan, first draw some officers from the Jewish army to help train the Korean People's Army, our task is to continue to rush and fight and quickly intersperse attacks, so that the Korean Japanese army will not be able to live in peace, so that when they hear our name, they will not be able to sleep, eat, eat, and dare not walk at night." Yan Wudao's words made everyone feel better, and after some discussion, the mercenary commander who received the task left.

According to the battle plan formulated by Zhao Zhi, the mercenaries still follow the old set of combat tactics, first reconnaissance intelligence in advance, and then after analysis to determine the target, the mercenary unit in charge of the attack will be interspersed with surprise attacks as bait, as long as the attacked Japanese army is driven out to pursue, the Jewish troops hidden in the middle of the way will timely attack to cut off their rear road or fight an ambush battle. This is roughly the same as the Xinghuo plan used by Zhao Zhi in Hebei, except that Yan Wudao and they will not develop a base in the local area, but will only change places with one shot, forcing the Japanese army to run for their lives like rats eager to eat bait.

Although the mercenaries do not develop their bases on the spot, it does not mean that they are alone, and the guerrillas developed by Kim Il Sung will provide peripheral assistance to the mercenary and Jewish forces, especially in the analysis of lineage, intelligence gathering and language communication. The North Korean guerrillas who acted with the mercenary forces could also take the opportunity to learn a few tricks, but after Zhao Zhi carefully instructed Yan Wudao, the North Korean guerrillas spent more time playing the roles of guides, laborers cleaning the battlefield, and baggage soldiers.

"The Koreans are just as untrustworthy as the Japanese, so don't expect them to treat you as a good brother, and train them to the end, after all, we have already given them weapons and ammunition to equip their troops, and it makes sense to exchange those weapons and ammunition for Jeju Island." Zhao Zhi, who was afraid that Yan Wudao and the Koreans would talk about morality in the rivers and lakes, had told him several times, including the mercenary commanders under Yan Wudao, who had made assurances, and Zhao Zhi promised them to lead the troops into battle.

"Sir, Thailand is calling, only the east wind is owed." While Yan Wudao led his mercenaries to various assault targets, Zhao Zhi, who was far away on Jeju Island, finally received a telegram from Thailand. Appointed by Zhao Zhi as the governor of Thailand, Joy carried out a top-secret mission called by Zhao Zhi, recruiting more than 500,000 young men from among the indigenous people of Thailand and Vietnam to form a mixed army, which had only received three weeks of general training, and was equipped with cold weapons such as bows and crossbows and machetes.

Joy sent only four words to the east wind, which means that everything is ready, indicating that this large mixed army is ready to set off to the north at any time. A large number of Thai and Vietnamese aborigines were recruited into the mixed army, which was also part of Zhao Zhi's intensification of the purge, and the transfer of Burmese to the north to help China fight made Zhao Zhi see a shortcut to reduce the casualties of the mercenary troops, since the Burmese can do it, I believe those Thai and Vietnamese should also be able to do it.

Several small countries, including Cambodia and Laos, have been taken over by Thunder, and their royal families have been moved to Burma under house arrest. Under such circumstances, Joey recruited them into the mixed unit to fight in Japan on extremely favorable terms, and I believe that they could not refuse even more greedy than the Burmese.

Zhao Zhi's conditions are more generous than those given to mercenaries, as long as he can land on the Japanese mainland alive, he can keep half of all the booty, and there are rewards for killing Japanese soldiers and Japanese civilians. There are also corresponding rewards for capturing Japanese weapons and ammunition, and if they can capture large things such as Japanese artillery and aircraft, they can also receive a reward for exemption from military service.

Unlike the Burmese mercenaries, who had a three-year military service, Joey's mixed army served for only one year, and as long as they lived to study for 12 months, they could get a large amount of booty and return home as freemen to become rich people. At first, Joey's recruitment was not very smooth, but after the families of those Burmese mercenaries were relocated to Thailand with a large amount of wealth, Joey's recruitment points all over Thailand were full when they came, and they were crowded with aborigines who came for medical examinations every day.

At the beginning of the Japanese army's Asian strategy, Thailand changed its flag and took refuge in Japan, so most Thais are just brave and ruthless in their own country, they have never seen the cruelty of war, and if the one-year military service period is in Thailand, it is good to say, but if it is really a landing on the Japanese mainland to fight, it will take less than three months, and it would be good if half of the 500,000 mixed troops could survive. Of course, the trophies they captured can be returned to their families in Thailand, but their families don't know whether they are dead or alive, and Joey can make the first batch of 500,000 mixed soldiers "live" only by relying on the registration form they fill out during the medical examination, and every month their rewards will be sent to their families in the country.

When the Burmese mercenaries were dispatched to the north to help in the war, this is how Lei Ting dealt with those families, even if only half of the 500,000 Burmese mercenaries are now left, their families can still receive supplies from China every month, and Zhao Zhi will not reveal the truth until the last moment of the Great Purge. Japan has a population of more than 70 million, and just relying on planes to drop some bombs will not be able to achieve the killing effect of Zhao Zhi's expectations.

"Send a telegram to the convoy and move to the Vietnamese seaport, and ensure that the vanguard of the mixed unit completes the task of going north to Jiaodong within four days." Zhao Zhi, who was ecstatic in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Zhi, who had been worried that Joey would not be able to complete the task, finally put his mind at ease. The Rockman family's ocean-going fleet undertook the task of transporting weapons and ammunition for the Philippine U.S. military, and at this time, the entire fleet was cruising in Philippine waters with the Third Fleet of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, and the fleet of 30 large ocean-going freighters could transport at least 200,000 troops for Zhao Zhi at one time, which was something that Zhao Zhi and old Rhodes had said before.

With the continuous bombardment of Nagasaki, Zhao Zhi has already selected the landing site, as long as the follow-up bombing range is expanded according to the plan, the mixed troops who arrive on time by sea can easily land on the coast of Nagasaki. It is believed that the landing of 500,000 mixed troops in Japan will surprise all the Japanese, and once these mixed soldiers who are eager to snatch property from the Japanese are equipped with enough hot weapons, it is believed that the whole island of Kyushu will be in chaos.

"Grab money, grab women, grab weapons" This is the mobilization order issued by Joey when the mixed troops marched to the port of Vietnam, in Joey's incendiary mobilization order, all things from Japan were marked with a price code, in other words, as long as the mixed soldiers who boarded the Japanese mainland grabbed something that still had profit value, they would have a reward in their pockets, and such a mobilization order stimulated the mixed soldiers who were daydreaming of making a fortune with bloodshot eyes, and they couldn't wait to set foot on Japanese soil immediately to kill.
