Chapter 37: A Tooth for a Tooth

"Boom" A few huge fireballs rose on the highway more than 200 meters away, and the motor crouching in the grass was dazzled by the tinnitus, and after retching a few times, the more comfortable motor picked up the binoculars and looked at the highway where the fireballs were rising. They used bombs to attack the 64th Wing, the 64th Wing was full of 3,800 people, and the squadron chasing the motor ran for five days, and the 64th Wing, which had 3,800 people, suffered more than 40% casualties. Enraged, Wing Commander Ichiro Yamada decided to abandon the pursuit and prepare to divert to Saga according to the orders of the division, but Mada would not let Yamada Ichiro go so easily, and his squadron suffered more than 50 casualties.

The bomb was planted on the road at the suggestion of the squad leader of the 64th Wing, and the reserve team sent by Zhao Zhi was contacted by radio, and the motor ordered the bombs and mines to be planted on the three roads that the 64th Wing had to pass, although it could not cause too many casualties to the 64th Wing, but at least it could anger the commander of the Japanese wing. If the Japanese commander ignored it and still wanted to go to Saga, the motor would continue to plant bombs and mines on the road until the 64th Wing chose to pursue itself again.

"San'er, do you think I'm a cheap melon baby? The little devil didn't want to chase after us, and Lao Tzu was still catching up to attract them to chase after us. The motor that put down the binoculars picked up his sniper rifle and aimed at the road more than 200 meters away, and Ma San'er, who was lying beside him, did not make a sound, but just loaded the empty magazine. Of the 12 people who served as soldiers in Majiaxiang, Chongqing, only 9 have survived now, and only Ma Da is an officer who can command a sniper squadron.

"These little devils on dog days are embarrassed, and they can't come back when they wait for Lao Tzu to fight." The motor swapped into a spare magazine and continued to shoot at the already messy road. The highway that had just been bombed was in chaos, and there were people who rescued people, some who just hid, and some who shot around with guns to conduct fire reconnaissance, but no one fired at the motor or looked at it. Feeling despised by the Japanese army, the motor emptied four magazines in one go, and was dragged away from the grass slope by Ma San'er, and the Japanese soldiers on the highway had already pounced, and if they stayed any longer, they could only wait for death.

Seeing that the situation was slowly gaining control, the Korean Japanese army finally sent a second infantry division to Kyushu Island to help in the battle. As the fourth infantry division set foot on Kyushu Island, a large number of heavy weapons also followed Kyushu Island, and the thunder that originally took the initiative began to fight and retreat, which had the meaning of reining into the mountains.

Fighting the water dogs is not the patent of the Thunder family, seeing that the Thunder is already tired, the Kwantung Army, who has been led around by the nose for several days, can easily let go of such a good opportunity. Okamura Ningji, who had suffered a big loss in the hands of Zhao Zhi, chose to fight steadily and steadily, and then used the North Korean division to divide the places where the thunder mercenaries appeared, and then sent the Kwantung Army troops to clean up the places that had been blocked by heavy troops, like cutting wheat, one by one, until the hidden thunder mercenaries were found, and then they were eliminated.

A large number of Japanese planes transferred from the Chinese battlefield were parked on Jeju Island, and they could fly to Kyushu Island at any time to help in the war, and Zhao Zhi's fighter troops were forced to fly only at close range, otherwise they would encounter the encirclement and melee of Japanese fighters in the air. By the fifth day of the Ling Chi operation, nearly 800 of the 7,000 mercenaries under Zhao Zhi had suffered casualties, but fortunately, only more than 200 people were killed, and most of the other injured mercenaries were only slightly injured.

The war on Kyushu Island is strange and changeable, but Zhao Zhi, who has been hiding in the mountains, has been sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, even if the US military no longer has any good hopes for the war on Kyushu Island, Zhao Zhi himself has not lost confidence. "Sir, the Pacific Fleet has been contacted, but they have been urging us to withdraw to Jiaodong, they say that they have exchanged fire with the combined fleet of the Japanese army, and they cannot carry out airdrops or supply of troops to us in a short period of time." The telegram sent by the intelligence staff officer was casually thrown on the table by Zhao Zhi, and when the Kwantung Army began to land in Karajin Bay, Zhao Zhi had already thought that such a thing would happen.

"It doesn't matter, after all, this is our battle, and it has nothing to do with the Americans, but I hope they don't come to fight our autumn wind after the battle is over." Looking around at the U.S. officers in the temporary headquarters, Zhao Zhi's face showed a smile. He believed that what he had just said would definitely be transmitted back by some of these American officers on the radio, and Zhao Zhi had planned for so long and done so much foreshadowing, just for the final acquisition. He just wants to participate in the final division of European interests, rather than watching the US military come to Kyushu Island to compete for power and profit with him.

"For generals, the most jealous and impetuous, we planned to land in Japan for so long, and all possible situations have been deduced countless times, why are you still in such a trance? The casualties of the mercenaries have not exceeded 10% so far, but the casualties on the side of the Kwantung Army have exceeded 10,000, and once the Kwantung Army is completely mired in mountain warfare, those Korean divisions and regiments in charge of the periphery are not at all the opponents of the 300,000 mixed soldiers. There were people from the US military in the headquarters, and Zhao Zhi naturally couldn't say it too carefully, and the staff officers under him also understood it and didn't mention it anymore.

In the eyes of those American officers, Zhao Zhi was an extremely conceited person, but Thunder's luck was really bad now, because the intelligence that had just been sent to the headquarters showed that another Japanese army was crossing the waters of Tsushima Island on ships, and their direction was Iwaya in Kitakyushu. Thunder deployed 7,000 mercenaries on the Matsuuragawa, Saga, Kurume, and Hita lines, and once the hundreds of thousands of mixed troops deployed by Thunder in Kitakyushu were routed by the Japanese troops who landed in Iwaya, the remaining Thunder troops might be surrounded by the Japanese army and unable to move in the hinterland of Kyushu Island.

Zhao Zhi didn't listen to the dissuasion of those US military officers at all, the mixed troops in Kitakyushu were already some cannon fodder, what he wanted was the chaos on Kyushu Island, only when Kyushu Island was completely chaotic, and Thunder would have a chance to take advantage of the fire. Two batches of 400,000 mixed soldiers are the source and spark of chaos, Zhao Zhi has never been worried that those southern mountain people are not interested in killing, 400,000 mixed soldiers with killing factors in their blood are 400,000 beasts, just to deal with them requires the Japanese army to spend a lot of manpower, with them to contain the North Korean division head-on, I believe that Zhao Zhi should be very easy when he cleans up the North Korean division.

"In the final analysis, the war is about logistics and consumption, most of Kyushu Island is under our control, those Japanese soldiers who rushed to the rescue can not eat, drink or sleep, don't they need supplies and ammunition?" Zhao Zhi, who seemed to have nothing to do, stood next to the map of the headquarters, holding a lit cigar cigarette in one hand and the other hand, and the whole person looked completely unworried. "Why are they in a hurry to go to Kitakyushu? It was in order to open up the sea route between Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, and only when they controlled Kitakyushu Bay, these Japanese troops could continuously obtain supplies from Honshu Island. ”

Zhao Zhi's staff officers did not understand the meaning of Zhao Zhi's words at all, and after rolling his eyes slightly, Zhao Zhi continued, "We have deployed 130,000 mixed troops in Kitakyushu, although the combat effectiveness of those guys may not even be comparable to the Imperial Army, but they are good at causing disturbances and sabotage, as long as half of them can escape the encirclement of the Kwantung Army's landing force, the Japanese army's plan to transport supplies to Kurume here through Kitakyushu will be in vain. Unless they can use divisional and regimental troops to escort those supplies every time. ”

Compared with the Kwantung Army, Zhao Zhi, who only has 7,000 mobile troops, naturally does not have to worry about the supply of materials, when he landed in Nagasaki, he transported a large number of ammunition and materials ashore, and the fighter troops who came later also carried out airdrops of materials several times, and Zhao Zhi's current reserve of ammunition is enough for 7,000 mercenaries to fight high-intensity for a month. Compared with Zhao Zhi's ease, the 60,000 people of the Japanese army had to consume a lot of supplies every day, even if the mercenaries did not attack them.

"They robbed them of their food and supplies, used their young men to transport all the food into the mountains and hid it, burned what they could not leave, and left the old and weak women and children to the Kwantung Army. All I want is victory, to be able to end this damn war one day earlier, maybe hundreds or thousands of people will be killed, killing and ignoring now are necessary, only in this way can the Japanese government be forced to make a statement, or become more crazy, or simply choose to surrender. ”

When the mixed troops in the central part were transferred to Kitakyushu and the south, the mountain people with long knives were not walking empty-handed, not to mention the clear fields along the way, and the large fields along the line from Nagasaki to Kurume had been burned to the ground, and all the grain that could be found was hidden by Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi, who was entrenched in the middle of Kyushu Island, left the Kwantung Army with only hungry people and dilapidated buildings, and he couldn't bear to see these Japanese all starving to death, so it would be better to take out the Kwantung Army's own military rations to help the hungry people.

When he ordered the mixed troops to snatch food and supplies from the Japanese, Zhao Zhi made it very clear to his officers, but in Zhao Zhi's heart, he didn't care that someone called him a demon or anything else, from ancient times to the present, history was written by the victors. Could it be that the Japanese army killed fewer civilians in China, and the Japanese occupied most of Asia by relying on the food and resources they had stolen from China, and Zhao Zhi's current approach was nothing more than a tooth for a tooth.
