Chapter Thirty-Seven: Another Wave
"Do you want to send a message to announce the news of conquering Ding'an?" In broad daylight, swaggering from the city gate into Ding'an City, forget it, the captured Japanese puppet army prisoners were driven out of the city and didn't know what to do, but Zhao Zhi now wants to release the news of conquering Ding'an City to the outside world, but Tian Jiucheng is a little crazy. There are not many Japanese puppet troops in Ding'an City, but there are other Japanese strongholds around here, once Thunder's clear code telegram is known by the Japanese army, it will definitely provoke a large number of Japanese puppet troops to Ding'an City, and then the Thunder people will pat their butts, but what should these civilians in the city do?
"Yes, Ming code power generation" Zhao Zhi nodded very affirmatively, after taking the county seat, he invited this guerrilla army into the city, it was just for the sake of the face of the Eighth Route Army. This is the eastern Jin region, there are no troops of the national army and the Jin Sui army, according to the consistent style of the Eighth Route Army, after they receive the news that Ding'an has been taken, they will definitely send troops to develop the base area, Zhao Zhi's follow-up battle plan still needs the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, so now we have to treat this group of guerrillas well.
Zhao Zhi's insistence made Tian Jiucheng a little annoyed, although this Thunder force is said to have a scale of 4,000 people, but as far as his observation goes, the guns used by these people in Thunder are all so-called American-style firearms, and the people of Thunder are from Zhangwu County on a long journey, they can't carry too much ammunition, once their ammunition is exhausted, after switching to Japanese-style bolt-action rifles, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened, if the Japanese puppet army reaches a certain number, Even if the Thunder fills in all 4,000 people, it may not be able to withstand it.
"Captain Tian, do you have anything else? I still have to go out of the city, and I won't be with him" Tian Jiucheng Mu Mumu's stunned expression, Zhao Zhi who saw it secretly laughed, Tian Jiucheng is just a guerrilla captain, and if he is placed in the Thunder Army, he is probably just a squad leader, and it is impossible for Zhao Zhi to inform him of his next battle plan. Zhao Zhi took Xiao Ziyun and a few of them to ride their horses, the county seat had just been taken, and there was still a lot of time waiting for the people of Thunder to deal with it, Zhao Zhi went out of the city at this time because there was still a big thing waiting for him to arrange outside the city.
After taking the county seat yesterday, Zhao Zhi left only one Jewish infantry company to control the county seat, and sent another Jewish company to collect all the carts in the county town and go to their temporary station to bring the wounded Jewish soldiers to the county town to recuperate. Coupled with the wounded who needed to be recuperated, Zhao Zhi only left about 3,000 people in the county seat, and the rest of the soldiers were rushed by him to Xiangtangpu to carry the weapons and ammunition they had buried on the spot at that time. After pulling all the mules and horses in Ding'an City, Zhao Zhi gave them 5 days to return to Ding'an City, and it is estimated that the Japanese puppet army troops around Ding'an will arrive in about 5 or 6 days after the impact is completed.
The outside of Ding'an has now become a large construction site, and after the Japanese puppet soldiers captured by Zhao Zhi disarmed, they were watched by the thunderous Jewish soldiers digging outside the city. When Zhao Zhi ambushed the Japanese convoy in Xiangtangpu, he had captured dozens of intact ammunition trucks, which not only contained guns and ammunition, but also a large number of large-caliber shells.
"Outside, outside, thunder and the next city, Ding'an, a small city in eastern Jindong, changed hands yesterday" When Zhao Zhi was busy working outside the city of Ding'an, Chongqing, which had already received a clear code, was not idle, and under Chiang Kai-shek's deliberate promotion, the major newspapers in Chongqing, which had long been reduced to the tongue of the Nationalist Government, published the extras, and the reporters of other major newspapers gathered in Chongqing spread the news all over the country through the telegraph office, and even German and American newspapers.
"Why did Boyuan go to Jindong, didn't he make a battle plan for the Second World War Zone? Darling, Boyuan's temperament is a little wild, you have to talk about him" The Japanese puppet army in Shanxi is currently facing the national army troops in the second war zone, and the situation is extremely unfavorable to the second war zone, Zhao Zhi ran to Jindong to toss at this time, in Song Meiling's opinion, it is completely unprofessional, and it will not play any role in the current defeat situation in the second war zone.
Chiang Kai-shek did not respond to Song Meiling's complaints, just took a small sip of freshly brewed tea, don't look at the current army in Zhangwu County has exceeded 100,000 in size, but whether it is the Jewish troops under Zhao Zhi or the elite of the 30,000 national army, they do not have the ability to counterattack Shanxi, in other words, as far as Zhao Zhi's current strength is concerned, it is better to say that he wants to go to war with the Japanese army in Shanxi, I am afraid it is not yet time.
"Boyuan must have his purpose when he goes to Jindong, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, those of us who are far away from the battlefield have Boyuan who knows the things on the battlefield" Chiang Kai-shek lightly gave Song Meiling a cup of her favorite coffee, "Boyuan is a person with a strategy in his heart, he naturally has his reason for doing things, I estimate that this clear code power generation is not just as simple as giving us a victory, the truth will be revealed in a few days, all we have to do is wait"
"Wait?" Song Meiling's carefully trimmed eyebrows wrinkled, she knew that Chiang Kai-shek valued Zhao Zhi very much, and sometimes even compared Zhao Zhi with the young people of the Jiang family in private, and often sighed why Zhao Zhi was not from the Jiang family, but Chiang Kai-shek believed in Zhao Zhi so much, which was beyond Song Meiling's expectations.
"Wait, wait for the good news of Boyuan" After the Jewish troops in the Luliang area secretly went out of the Luliang area to take Laiyuan, Chiang Kai-shek summoned some officers with rich battlefield experience to deduce the combat intentions of the thunder, but the best thing for the thunder is to rush into battle, just to conquer a small county town outside Luliang, which cannot be explained. What really caught Chiang Kai-shek's attention was the information sent back by the military intelligence officers in Yangquan direction, and the latent military intelligence officers found traces of the presence of thunder mercenary troops around Yangquan, and Laiyuan and Yangquan were in the southwest of Taiyuan and the northeast of Taiyuan, which was a situation of outflanking Taiyuan.
Zhao Zhi has now taken Ding'an, Ding'an is a small place, a small place that is often missed on the map, but this Ding'an is in the southeast of Taiyuan, and with Laiyuan and Yangquan combined, these three places have faintly formed a siege of Taiyuan. In order to keep it secret, Chiang Kai-shek did not ask Zhao Zhi about the combat intentions of this trip, but he always had an idea and expectation in his heart, he felt that Zhao Zhi had made so many preparations in the early stage, and the final goal should be Taiyuan, and Thunder was going to attack Taiyuan, otherwise why would he build an airport in Laiyuan.
According to Chiang Kai-shek's understanding of Zhao Zhi, this excellent young man is not a young and frivolous person, and if he dares to take the initiative to invent a code telegram to expose his position, he must have his intentions. "Immediately send a telegram to the Second World War Zone, and order them to show their ability, and they must bite the Japanese army against them to the death" Since Zhao Zhi wants to sing a good show, then Chiang Kai-shek will accompany him to play a big game, and the Japanese army dragged out by the Second War Zone and held against them is believed to be helpful to Zhao Zhi's next combat intention.
The telegram sent by the South Bank Villa to the Second War Zone Command immediately caused an uproar, and the Japanese puppet army they held against was not as simple as 120,000, the Second War Zone was now forced to the extreme by the Japanese puppet army, and there was still room to fight back, and it was good to be able to support it. The people in the Second War Zone are not people behind closed doors, and they have also heard the news that Thunder shot again in Shanxi, but no matter what Thunder is, it is not a unit of the national army, and the chairman of the committee will actually ask the entire Second War Zone to cooperate with Thunder, a foreign monk, which is a big joke.
The thunder has been entrenched in Zhangwu County for a long time, and the Second War Zone has long been extremely dissatisfied, what is the use of just making a bounty order, and it is the right thing to send troops to relieve the siege of the Second War Zone. The National Army and the Jin Sui Army in the Second War Zone have been struggling to support in the face of the pressure of the Japanese puppet army, not because of how heroic they are, but because they pinned their hopes on the body of Thunder, and Song Meiling thought, the Second War Zone hoped that the troops of Thunder would attack the Japanese army from the flank, and then divert the attention of the Japanese puppet army, so that the Second War Zone could take the opportunity to break away from the war group to recuperate and recover.
But now the long-awaited rescue did not come, and the chairman of the committee wanted the Second War Zone to continue to fill it with people and bite the Japanese army, which seemed to be asking the entire Second War Zone to cooperate with Thunder's recent combat operations, and the people in the Second War Zone immediately blew up. In just three hours, the frequency of telegram transmission between the Second War Zone and Chongqing reached the extreme, and three hours later, the Second War Zone, which had been passively defending, suddenly burst out with combat power, and carried out a desperate attack with the Japanese army at night at a number of key points.
The counterattack of the second war zone caused the panic of the Japanese army, the original impregnable defense line was negligent, hundreds of thousands of troops fought against each other, a small negligence will cause the collapse of the entire front, the entire Japanese puppet army in Shanxi was shocked by the madness of the second war zone regardless of casualties, all they can do is to increase troops to make up for the leakage, once the situation that has been hard to establish by the second war zone is reversed, the Japanese army must increase troops from North China to Shanxi, which is contrary to the decision to send the army base camp.
"Boyuan, there is only so much I can do, the rest is up to you, I hope you can give me a good news" Three hours of persuasion and deterrence exhausted Chiang Kai-shek's energy, in order to let the Second War Zone take the initiative to attack and entangle the Japanese troops who were holding them, Chiang Kai-shek promised to compensate the American ordnance and 300,000 newly formed national army troops from Zhao Zhi to the Second War Zone. Chiang Kai-shek, who had sacrificed his energy and sacrificed his benefits, could only silently hope that his judgment was correct at this time, as long as Thunder could send troops to take Taiyuan, the benefits he released would not be in vain.
