With a bang, the turret in the distance was already lit up with a skyrocketing fire, and the three-story turret looked more like a torch in the early hours of the morning, and the chestnut-haired Bell threw the half-pack of cigarettes in his hand to his team members, picked up the backpack at his feet and turned around and left. What's wrong with Lao Bei? Why don't you ignore us? The mercenaries of Bell's team grinned and winked, in fact, they all knew that Bell didn't like to laugh, they deliberately said this, just to find a reason to speak.

From noon the day before yesterday to now, this is the sixth Japanese stronghold they have destroyed, 70 Japanese troops, 170 Imperial Allied troops, they not only killed all the Japanese puppet troops in the stronghold, but also set fire to these strongholds to the ground. According to the order of each person to shoot three Japanese puppet soldiers in 10 days, their team of 30 people needed to shoot 90 Japanese puppet soldiers, but they now seem to have exceeded their task, not only that, but they also got 4 light machine guns, 6 50 grenadiers and 2 light mortars.

Ma Jiapo is their next target, in the action plan formulated by Zhao Zhi, there are a total of 6 Japanese puppet army strongholds on the route planned by the Bell team, if everything goes well, these 6 Japanese puppet army strongholds will only take them 5 days, and the remaining 5 days, Zhao Zhi will let the Bell team control himself. According to the intelligence collected by the military commanders, Majiapo was stationed in Majiapo with a small squad of Japanese troops and a squadron of the Imperial Army, with a total number of more than 300 people.

Bell was no longer satisfied with dealing with the fortified turrets with no more than thirty or forty people, he wanted to attack Majiapo, which had heavy machine guns and mortars, and with these heavy weapons, he could attack the nearby county town on the way back. The story of Zhao Zhi commanding more than 100 mercenaries to take Zhangwu County was widely spread among the mercenaries, and Bel Yan, who regarded Zhao Zhi as a role model in his heart, could let go of such a great opportunity.

There are not a few mercenary commanders like Bell who are obsessed with warfare, and under the influence of the thunder, the mercenary commanders who lead the team out to carry out raids and harassment operations have the same idea. When Nell commanded the team to turn to Majiapo, the ** team 50 kilometers away from them was also heading towards their last target stronghold, and they had 5 days to choose their target at will before dark.

In the first five days of the operation, the Japanese puppet army in Hebei was shot and killed by 130 guerrillas and mercenary squads released by Zhao Zhi, and a large number of imperial troops chose to surrender voluntarily, and Okamura Ninji received information showing that more than 7,000 troops were lost in Hebei under his control in five days. Looking at this momentum, Zhao Zhi's side will not give up easily, and if their attack continues, it is estimated that the loss of Japanese puppet troops in Hebei will exceed more than 10,000.

In the Japanese army, the number of permanent divisions of the first division was only more than 20,000 soldiers, and the number of divisions of the second division was only more than 10,000. Yangquan has long become a scorched earth, but even so, the national army that was once pursued by the Japanese army did not retreat a step, lost the position and recaptured it, lost the position during the day and fought back at night, Okamura Ningji has not seen such a desperate and dare to fight a tough battle for a long time.

The 5 national regiments trained by the Thunder system were firmly nailed to the periphery of Yangquan like nails, resisting the attacks of Okamura Ningji round after round, and Mo Lun, who received Zhao Zhi's secret order, mobilized a large number of Garand rifles from the warehouse of the Kunming Arsenal to be airdropped to the defenders of Yangquan, in the collision of automatic rifles and bolt-action rifles, it was obvious that Garand had the upper hand, but Mo Lun was a little distressed about the ammunition consumed by the national army troops.

The five national legions guarding Yangquan had never fought such a battle, and when they were trained by Thunder, they envied Thunder's equipment and weapons, and now they have the same equipment and weapons as Thunder. Although they can't have as much new equipment as the Thunder, they are now so popular that they can command company-level troops at any time, and at least two battalions of each regiment are equipped with Garand rifles, and there are also a certain number of Bazooka and flamethrowers.

The most exciting thing for the commanders of the five national armies is not these, there is a hastily built military airfield 15 kilometers away from the Yangquan front, and the front-line warring national army units can call the fighter units parked at the military airfield to come over at any time to provide fire support. After so many years of fighting with the Japanese, this was the first time that these commanders could rely on the support of the air force in battle, although there were only 6 fighters and 4 bombers on Yangquan Airport, but it was fatal to the Japanese troops in the battle.

Attacking and retreating, and unwilling, Yangquan at this time is like a chicken rib for Okamura Ningji, but at this time he is already difficult to ride a tiger. What made him even more unbearable was the locust-like attack of the guerrillas under Zhao Zhi, and the order to send troops south to support the Nanyang Station had already been passed to Okamura Ningji, but he had been pressing the troops who were supposed to go south to the Philippine battlefield on the grounds of clearing the anti-Japanese forces.

The plan of action for the westward advance to Taiyuan was not favored by those guys in the General Staff Headquarters, and now Okamura Ningji was blocked by five national legions in Yangquan, and the battle had been going on for more than 6 days, but the defense line of the opposing national army troops was still firmly nailed there, but the two infantry wings under Okamura Ningji had suffered heavy casualties and lost the ability to fight again. "Concealment, enemy planes are coming." There was an exclamation in the ranks of the attacking troops, and several black enemy fighters still appeared over the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and it was enemy planes again, and Kazuo Nakasa, who was directing the attack, was very annoyed and lay down in the crater.

From the third day of the exchange of fire between Okamura Ninji's forward troops and the Nationalist troops, whenever the Japanese army was about to break through the Nationalist defense line in a big way, the other side would always call in fighters to help, and if it wasn't for the opponent's planes to make trouble, Yangquan's outer defense line might have been broken through by the Japanese army long ago. The fighter planes that swooped down spewed a rain of bullets, and the machine gun bullets that shot down ploughed several long columns of smoke on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers who had no time to hide were immediately torn to pieces by the barrage.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom" After the fighters were abused, the bombers then dived down, although the number of bombers dropped by the enemy was not very large, but the troops in the opponent's defense line seized the opportunity to start a counter-charge. The Garand rifles in the hands of hundreds of soldiers of the Nationalist Army showed their power at this time, and the squadron of Kazuo Onitsu and the other two Japanese squadrons that participated in the battle were knocked back to their starting place by the Nationalist Army.

Compared with the furious Okamura Ningji, Zhao Zhi, who remained in Hengshui, was full of pride, and there would be no problems with the Yangquan defense line for the time being, Okamura Ningji was blocked outside the Yangquan outer defense line, and the 10-day attack and disturbance operation led by Zhao Zhi was also a great success. More than 500 Japanese puppet army strongholds were attacked in various parts of Hebei, more than 8,000 Japanese puppet soldiers were shot and killed, and about 7,000 imperial troops chose to surrender. Zhao Zhi's attack not only dealt a painful blow to the Japanese puppet army in Hebei, but also planted seeds among the ordinary people, as long as the time came, Zhao Zhi believed that more people would be willing to join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese invaders.

The Second and Third Corps of the Burmese mercenaries, which had been secretly marching, had also sent telegrams, and according to Zhao Zhi's deployment, the two Burmese mercenary troops, with the cooperation of the Nationalist Army, had secretly infiltrated the Shanghe and Huimin lines between Dezhou and Binzhou. If Okamura Ningji did not turn back before Zhao Zhi gathered 10,000 troops, Zhao Zhi would command his troops to go east to Dezhou, and the two Burmese mercenaries who sneaked to the Shanghe and Huimin lines would immediately march to besiege Binzhou and seek an opportunity to capture Dongying.

Zhao Zhi's combat staff officers were very puzzled by the deployment of the Burmese mercenary troops eastward into Binzhou, the Japanese army also stationed superior forces in Shandong, and it seemed that the odds of victory were not very high, and if one did not succeed, the whole army would be annihilated. But Zhao Zhi insisted on doing this, using the domestic battlefield to consume the number of young and strong people in Burma, this is the plan that Zhao Zhi set after going south to Burma for the second time to repel the Japanese army, even if all the Burmese mercenaries died in Shandong, the Japanese army that was the enemy with them was no better, anyway, Zhao Zhi and Lei Ting did not have any losses.

Yu Dazhi, who stayed in Burma, recruited more than 200,000 Burmese youths with food brought from Thailand by Jewish troops to intensify training, and once these Burmese passed the training camp, Yu Dazhi would arrange for them to enter the country to help in the war. 500,000 Burmese mercenaries is not a small number, Zhao Zhi does not want these Burmese to beat the Japanese army, as long as these 500,000 Burmese mercenaries can fight out the 150,000 Japanese puppet army troops in Hebei and Shandong, Zhao Zhi's plan to cut Shandong can be successfully implemented.

"Order, the 2nd Armored Division will enter Shandong to help in the battle, and once the Burmese mercenary troops continue to move north after seizing Binzhou and Dongying, the 2nd Armored Division can go south to intercept the Japanese puppet reinforcements." The Jewish ordnance technicians in Kunming repaired a large number of British and French chariots brought back by Zhao Zhi from Europe, and Zhao Zhi transferred Joey's deputy to serve as the commander of the Second Armored Division.
