"Ding'an, Wuxiang, Pingyao and Luliang have all been occupied by our thunder, and most of the puppet army in Shanxi is confronting the national army in the southern Jinnan area, I have contacted Chongqing, and the national government will strictly order those national army troops in southern Jinnan to bite the Japanese army and create opportunities for us to take Taiyuan" Zhao Zhi pointed at the places he just mentioned with the wooden stick in his hand in turn.

"Will the national army help us? Can you be sure? Miao Jinhua, who occupied a large position alone, was suspicious, she was a woman, and she was still injured, and the people next to her naturally would not sit with her, and Miao Jinhua was also a guerrilla person, and she was counted as a representative of the Eighth Route Army to hold the meeting.

Everyone didn't speak, only Miao Jinhua questioned it, and the mercenary commanders present looked sideways and glared, Zhao Zhi's words were holy decrees in Thunder, and questioning Zhao Zhi in front of so many people was distrust of Thunder. "I don't care about those things between your Eighth Route Army and the National Army, what I want is for everyone to work together to take Taiyuan, and I can't let my brother's blood shed here in vain" Zhao Zhi glanced at Miao Jinhua with a slight warning, "If your Eighth Route Army is not interested in the Taiyuan operation we formulated, I can arrange for you and your people to leave for a while to recuperate."

In the face of Zhao Zhi's warning, Miao Jinhua had no choice but to say that she didn't care, such a big piece of fat, why didn't she participate, and people with brain problems would choose to leave. Seeing that Miao Jinhua had nothing to say, Zhao Zhi continued to introduce the situation, "The troops of the national army bite the Japanese puppet army in southern Jinnan, and after the troops of Willis and Hanks join forces, and then repel the Japanese army from Jinzhong, we will be able to separate the Japanese puppet army troops in Taiyuan and Jinnan, according to the information sent by the military commander and the CCP, the Japanese army has less than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in Taiyuan and the surrounding areas, which gives us the opportunity to capture Taiyuan."

Zhao Zhi said this, and the mercenary commanders present finally understood the true intention of Zhao Zhi to assign troops everywhere, the original chaotic chess game was turned over in an instant, and the seemingly unreliable situation has gradually begun to become clear, and the situation has begun to develop imperceptibly in the direction of thunder. If after Thunder took Taiyuan, and then waved his army south to unite with the national army troops in Jinnan, it would be impossible for the Japanese puppet army troops in Shanxi not to be driven out. "Before the establishment of Laiyuan Airport, in order to cooperate with our upcoming Taiyuan operation, we once asked Yao Laoyu of Luohu Mountain to send a heroic post, using the name of Yao Laoyu to gather famous bandits in Shanxi, Shanxi, and Lusui to gather at the junction of Hebei, Henan, Shandong and Shanxi. Their only task is to destroy the lines of communication in these places, whether it is railways, roads, mountain roads or rivers, all the material transportation lines of the Japanese army in and out of Shanxi will be their target, as well as those Japanese troops who have rushed to Shanxi from Shandong and Henan to come to the rescue of Shanxi."

"As for Hebei, which is the most frequent increase in troops in Shanxi," Zhao Zhi turned his words, and the wooden stick in his hand also pointed to a red dot on the junction of Hebei and Shanxi in the upper right corner of the map, "This place is a hoarding point for the Japanese army to hoard materials in and out of Shanxi, called Shimen Township, we Thunder do not attach much importance to the materials reserved by the Japanese army, mainly because the location of this Shimen Township is very good, as long as we take here, we can curb the Japanese puppet army reinforcements from Shijiazhuang, Shimen Township will be the first place we need to solve before the Taiyuan operation begins"

The territory of the Japanese puppet army in Shanxi has been cut off by the thunder, and those people in the rivers and lakes are ready to cut off the supply lines of the Japanese army according to the call of the hero, and most of the Japanese puppet army troops in Shanxi have also been entangled by the national army and can't let go, if the thunder controls Shimen Township again, it seems that Taiyuan City, which is still under the control of the Japanese army, will become an island, because it is already in the encirclement of the thunder, and the green circles around Taiyuan on the map on the table are the best proof.

"Sir, what exactly do you want us to do? It's been half an hour, and you haven't talked about our mission yet" Zhao Zhidi said such a big thing, but he didn't mention anything about the mission of the mercenary force, and the mercenary commanders who were called to the meeting were anxious, and the impatient guy simply asked directly.

"What's the hurry? There are many battles, enough for you to fight, but I am afraid that you will say that I abuse you and don't give you time and opportunity to sleep" Zhao Zhi looked around with a smile, and the mercenary commander who was swept by his gaze couldn't help but straighten his waist, and sat straight like Wang Mantang, like a group of elementary school students who entered the school on the first day, just having to put the textbook in front of him with his hands behind his back. Miao Jinhua, who was sitting on the chair with preferential treatment, was secretly frightened, this Zhao Zhi was really imposing, just a casual look, and these murderous guys became good babies.

"Sir, the telegram just sent by Qinglongping" Yu Dazhi woke up, and Luo Ying's mood also improved, and he re-played the role of Zhao Zhi's orderly. When Thunder held a meeting, the door was always heavily guarded, the telegram in Luo Ying's hand was related to Zhao Zhi's new plan, and the sentry who served as a guard did not intercept Luo Ying from entering the temporary headquarters of the meeting, such an unruly thing would be difficult to believe if it was placed in the troops of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army.

"Good news" Zhao Zhi, who had read the telegram, had a little smile, and even his words were full of happiness, "This is the telegram just sent by Qinglongping, the two Jewish regiments that we have been staying at the Kunming base have undergone more than a year of airborne training, and the instructors sent by the US military think that they already have the capital to go to the battlefield, and just an hour ago, the first wave of the airborne regiment with a total of 4,000 people has arrived in Zhangwu County, and two days later, the second wave of airborne troops will arrive in Zhangwu County."

Airborne troops are not uncommon among the military branches of Western powers, but many of the mercenaries present have heard of it for the first time, and Miao Jinhua and Wang Mantang didn't even understand what the airborne troops were doing. Two of the five Jewish legions that Zhao Zhi formed at the beginning were trained as airborne troops, which were the strange soldiers that Zhao Zhi prepared in advance for the Far East battlefield, and the Taiyuan operation was just a chance for those airborne soldiers to exercise, and they could not pack up these newcomers who had never been on the battlefield and send them to the Far East, so that they would command and increase Yan Wudao and Eugene's troubles.

"I order" Zhao Zhi regrouped his face and began to give orders, and everyone in the conference room listened attentively, "Erhu Mountain will be fully closed for rest from this time, and the mercenary troops will be grouped according to the formation of 100 people, and half of the scouts will enter Taiyuan City in advance to contact the military commanders and the underground party of the CCP to do the internal response after the start of the team, and the new equipment I brought will be given priority to the scouts." During the recuperation period, all the mercenary commanders who lead the team should be familiar with the terrain and sand table of Shimen Township, and I want you to remember the villages and every ravine and valley around Shimen Township, they are likely to save your life."

Yu Dazhi has been active in this area for a long time, and with the cooperation of the guerrillas, the scouts have already made the topographic sand table of Shimen Township, which is something that Zhao Zhi asked Yu Dazhi to do earlier, and it is just right to use it at this time. In Zhao Zhi's Taiyuan operation, Shimen Township is the highlight, whether it can block the Japanese reinforcements from Hebei is the prerequisite for Thunder to successfully take Taiyuan City, which is why Zhao Zhi has to wait for that batch of airborne troops, Erhushan is too little manpower.

4,000 airborne troops plus thousands of people in Erhushan, more than 5,000 mixed troops minus the manpower to defend the temporary airport, Zhao Zhi's troops into the defense line of Jinshimen Township are actually only 4,000 people, and these mercenary commanders under Zhao Zhi don't seem to have much confidence in sticking to Shimen Township. "What? Worried that we don't have enough manpower to stop the Japanese puppet army troops coming from Hebei in Shimen Township? Xu saw the worry in the eyes of his mercenaries, and Zhao Zhi smiled very easily, making the people present a little confused.

"I see that you have all forgotten what Thunder did in Chongqing at the beginning" Zhao Zhi took out a cigar and put it on his mouth, and the mercenary standing next to him hurriedly helped light a cigarette, "We Thunder not only established the Geyue Mountain training camp in Chongqing, but also helped the Nationalist Government train a group of elite soldiers, those elites of the National Army who were trained by us were secretly dispatched to Hebei as early as a year ago, this is the first secret operation of Thunder and the National Government, and the name of the plan is set as Xinghuo"

"Our biggest reliance on blocking the Japanese puppet army in Hebei is this Spark plan, and the two bounty orders issued by our Thunder are also issued in order to cooperate with the Spark plan, and the elites of the national army who have entered the Hebei territory and can still survive until now have become the commanders of the anti-Japanese forces, large or small. Don't underestimate these seemingly weak tinder, they are more than hundreds, less than dozens of people, once they are integrated, the number will definitely exceed 50,000, in order to cooperate with our Taiyuan action plan, the national government has authorized the Thunder to mobilize the power of the Spark troops, this is our reliance and backhand"

"Before the Taiyuan operation really unfolds, the entire Japanese puppet army in Hebei will be mobilized by the sudden launch of the Xinghuo troops, although the Xinghuo troops lack heavy weapons and equipment, they will take advantage of the terrain to play sports warfare and sneak attack warfare with the Japanese puppet army. The tactics of the Spark troops will create a false impression for the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, making them think that the Spark troops are the vanguard of our thunder, and this is our thunder force looking for an opportunity to go north, and while killing and injuring a large number of Japanese puppet troops in Hebei, a large number of Japanese puppet troops will be held back in Hebei, so as to reduce the pressure on us to take Taiyuan City."

The battle analysis meeting lasted all day, and the mercenary commanders put forward all the questions they could think of, and Zhao Zhi also answered them one by one, and the Taiyuan plan, which had been laid out since Zhao Zhi took Zhangwu County for the third time, was finally lifted and completely exposed in front of everyone, but this action plan was only circulated within the thunder, and the only outsider was just Miao Jinhua, who was temporarily placed under house arrest.
