"Nani? Thunder gathers heavy troops and prepares to attack Baoding north? And then west to Shijiazhuang? "Okamura Ningji, who was anxious outside Yangquan, received information from the intelligence officer of the Hengshui Special High School, but at this moment, Okamura Ningji had difficulty making a decision. Seeing that Yangquan was about to be conquered, the special high school sent the news that the thunder was about to go north to Baoding, and Okamura Ningji, who had always regarded Yangquan as a chicken rib, was now a little difficult to decide.

Taking Yangquan means that the gateway to Shanxi is opened, but if they only want to take Yangquan and are cut off by thunder, these imperial soldiers under their command may fall into the encirclement carefully set by Zhao Zhi. Okamura Ninji never doubted Zhao Zhi's command ability, even guys like Yamashita Fengfu were defeated by Zhao Zhi's men, Okamura Ninji knew that his ability to command battles was not as good as Yamashita Fengfumi.

Continue to attack Yangquan or return to Shijiazhuang to defend his back road, Okamura Ningji couldn't swallow in the face of such a problem, but Zhao Zhi, who left Hengshui after continuing Zhongcun, was not so embarrassed, because he was on his way south to Texas at this time. In order to avoid being discovered by the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi did not even use any guerrillas in Hebei, and all the troops involved in the battle came from Thunder, including 3,000 Jewish airborne troops.

Zhao Zhi did not use the guerrillas and the Nationalist troops in Henan, he just didn't want to attract the attention of the Japanese army, but there was already an agreement between Zhao Zhi and Chiang Kai-shek that once Thunder took Dezhou or Binzhou, the troops of the Nationalist Government in Henan would immediately enter Shandong through Handan and make a posture of encircling Jinan.

It was crucial to break the connection between the Japanese forces in North China and Central China, and in this operation, Zhao Zhi and Lei Ting took on most of the combat missions, while the task of the Nationalist Army was only to establish a defensive line to intercept the Japanese reinforcements going north, and if those military bigwigs still had to contain each other in order to compete for power and profit, Chiang Kai-shek did not mind taking the opportunity to kill a group of disobedient guys. "Sir, the Airborne Forces are ready, the ground receiving unit has also arrived at its position, and as soon as you give the order, the transport plane will be in the air." This is another piece of good news that Zhao Zhi has heard in the past few days.

3,000 Jewish airborne troops are indeed not a large number, but this time Handan Airport has prepared more than 10 large transport planes to help the airborne troops carry out the airborne landing, and it will not only be these 3,000 airborne troops who will be airborne in Linyi by transport planes, but also enough armored steel plates to build 10 steel fortresses, more than 20 Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns, improved Bazooka and enough ammunition. At the beginning of the formulation of the Dezhou operation, Zhao Zhi originally planned to use the Burmese mercenary troops to block the northward rescue of the Japanese puppet army in Jinan, but now with the participation of the national army, the task of the airborne troops is only to intercept the fish that have slipped through the defense line of the national army.

Only one of the three Burmese mercenary forces in Zhao Zhi's hands participated in the attack on Dezhou, and the remaining two were ordered by Zhao Zhi to move in the direction of Binzhou. If the Binzhou defenders dared to send reinforcements west to support Dezhou, the Burmese mercenaries commanded by Xiao Ziyun would dare to attack Binzhou by attacking Huanglong.

"Notifying Handan Airport can help the airborne troops to carry out the airborne landing immediately, and immediately after the airborne landing, the airborne replenishment of materials to the Burmese mercenary troops will be carried out, and whether the Dongying road can be opened depends on the means of the Burmese." The Burmese mercenaries under the command of Xiao Ziyun have always been cannon fodder in Zhao Zhi's eyes, if it weren't for the fact that they could better consume the Japanese army's troops, Zhao Zhi would not have used fighter troops to carry out the airborne landing of supplies for the Burmese.

It was precisely because of the snow-melting plan to use the Burmese to consume the Japanese army that Chiang Kai-shek would often say to Song Meiling that Zhao Zhi should be a strategist rather than a commander, and if a person like Zhao Zhi was placed in ancient times, he would definitely be a famous strategist, and now he is a mercenary leader. 500,000 Burmese young men is already a point of breaking the bones for Myanmar, which has more than 2 million people, but it is still far from Zhao Zhi's final plan to transform Myanmar.

"Got it" The operational staff officer who received the order went to contact Handan Airport, and the other staff officers under Zhao Zhi also performed their own duties and had their own affairs, and only Ye Kong and Luo Ying were left by Zhao Zhi's side to become idlers. Luo Ying was too young to participate in the battle, and Ye Kong's sniper unit was not useful for the time being, so Zhao Zhi grabbed these two idlers to accompany him to wander around the camp to eat. As in previous sorties, Zhao Zhi's camp has always been built in the field, which can not only avoid being discovered by the Japanese puppet army, but also facilitate Zhao Zhi to receive supplies from the fighter troops at any time.

"Yezi, have you ever thought about what to do after the battle?" The three of them sat on the hillside, and Zhao Zhi, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, squinted at Ye Kong, who was wiping a sniper rifle. Among the first people who followed him, Ye Kong was the only one who was coaxed by himself, and carefully speaking, Ye Kong, who was not a few years older than Luo Ying, was actually still a child. If it weren't for the damn war, Ye Kong at this age should have sat in a German military academy to study or accompanied a beautiful Prussian girl to wander the streets of Berlin.

"I didn't think about it" Ye Kong turned his head to look at Zhao Zhi with a confused expression, "My family agrees that I will return to China to participate in the war, and besides, my family has now moved to Switzerland to live, and there are younger brothers and sisters at home to take care of the elders, so it doesn't matter if I don't go back." At this time, Ye Kong was completely an adult, but when he mentioned his family, Zhao Zhi could hear a trace of warmth from Ye Kong's tone.

"Think about it when it's okay, there will always be a day when this battle will be over, and when the time comes, I will prepare a way back for everyone." Zhao Zhi had already made a plan for the future of Thunder in his heart, but he couldn't mention it to Ye Kong and them now, but this did not prevent Zhao Zhi from making fun of Ye Kong and them now. Ye Kong, who returned to China to resist the Japanese, followed Zhao Zhi just to be able to kill the Japanese to his heart's content, and it turned out that Ye Kong's decision at that time was correct, although there were not many opportunities for him to go into battle, but the Japanese soldiers who died under Ye Kong's guns had more than 100 people, which was more than Ye Kong's single-handedness.

"Sir, are you trying to disband the Thunder?" Luo Ying, who had been silent next to him, heard something else, and shouted out in shock. Luo Ying, who has been mixed up in the Beiping flyover since he was a child, grew up eating a hundred family meals, and lived a good life after following Zhao Zhi, watching the thunder get bigger and bigger, but Luo Ying listened to Zhao Zhi's words as if he was planning to finally disband the thunder. For Luo Ying, thunder means good days, it means home and relatives, if there is no thunder, then everything is gone.

Ye Kong is a kid who is only obsessed with sniping the Japanese, if Luo Ying hadn't shouted out, he wouldn't have thought that Zhao Zhi would have the meaning of disbanding Thunder in his words. "I didn't say that I was going to disband the Thunder, I was just asking you what you want to do when you don't fight." Zhao Zhi planned to continue to trick Ye Kong and them to the end, with an expression on his face that wanted to say something and stopped, Zhao Zhi didn't even want to give Luo Ying a look to them, which made Luo Ying even more convinced that his judgment was right.

"Sir, the 2nd Armored Division has received news, there is a problem with the route they chose, a stone bridge halfway through is in disrepair and cannot pass through tanks, the 2nd Armored Division needs to be rerouted and marched, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach the assembly point on time within the scheduled time." The news brought by the intelligence staff made Zhao Zhi a little crazy, the second armored division is the key to the Texas operation, and the second armored division cannot arrive at the scheduled place on time, so the 3,000 airborne troops who have begun to implement the airborne will fight alone with the Japanese puppet army without the cover of the armored division.

"Back to the camp" Zhao Zhi took Ye Kong and a few of them hurriedly down the mountain back to the camp, the Texas operation has been launched, and now it is unlikely that the operation will be stopped, all Zhao Zhi can do now is to urge Xiao Ziyun's Burmese mercenary troops to launch an attack on Binzhou in advance, and lead the Japanese puppet army in Jinan and Zibo to the direction of Binzhou, so as to reduce the burden on the 3,000 Jewish airborne troops guarding Linyi.

"Inform Handan Airport that we will immediately prepare to airdrop materials to Xiao Ziyun's department, and if necessary, we can consider using new incendiary bombs to help the operation." At the same time, Qinglongping Airport also received an order, and all the fighters staying in Qinglongping immediately took off and went straight to Handan Airport.

Such a large-scale mobilization of fighter troops will definitely be known to the Japanese army, but at this time Zhao Zhi can no longer care so much, 3,000 Jewish airborne troops may not be important, but Zhao Zhi will never allow Texas to fail. "Order, immediately open the loot warehouses in Xingtai and Hengshui and distribute weapons and ammunition, all the guerrillas will attack immediately, the target is of their own choice, I want them to guarantee that they can stir Hebei into a mess. The mercenary team immediately went north to Baoding, Cangzhou, and Langfang to create an attack and harassment, cutting off as many Japanese communication and communication lines as possible, and delaying the southward movement of the Japanese puppet army for the Texas operation. ”

Zhao Zhi not only ordered Xiao Ziyun's Burmese mercenary troops to attack Binzhou immediately, but also ordered all the North China guerrillas to attack freely, Zhao Zhi is now most worried about the disappeared Okamura Ningji and the tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops under his command, if Okamura Ningji appears near Hengshui at this time, then Zhao Zhi's Texas plan will fall short.
