"Nani? Are you saying that the Thunder's forces did not attack Myitkyina? "Kanda Masao, who was trampled on an arm in Yangon Harbor, received a report from Myitkyina. After Yamashita saw that after taking his third-rate wing to attack Tengchong through the Amor Pass, Myitkyina was only left with a Japanese brigade to garrison, and Kanda Masasang originally thought that the Thunder would take advantage of the situation to attack Myitkyina after defeating the Yamashita United, but now it seems that he wanted to go wrong, and he didn't fight Myitkyina at all.

"Is it because you don't look down on Myitkyina or because of a lack of troops?" Kanda Masa gave this doubt to the front army to consider, and his current task was to rest the troops in Mandalay, and when the armored mixed brigade group that landed later arrived in Mandalay, he would organize the troops to cross Lashio and go straight to Wan Town. The bombing attack in Yangon Port was a great shame for Kanda Masasang, who had made great achievements in the Japanese army, and the American troops pursued by the 6th Division of the Japanese Army in the Philippines fled in all directions, but when they arrived in Burma, they suffered more than 1,000 casualties without firing a shot, and Kanda Masa felt that he had become a laughing stock in the Japanese army, so he was ready to follow the Yunnan-Burma Highway all the way into China, take Kunming, an important town in the southwest, and justify himself and the Sixth Division.

Kanda's persistence was supported by the Burmese Front, and the 6th Division, as the first reinforcement to arrive in Burma, qualified to play as a striker. In his opinion, the big forward is the glory that the Sixth Division deserves, and the combat exploits of the Sixth Division must be infinitely expanded by thunder, and among the troops supporting Burma, Kanda Masa has not been able to find a better unit than his own Sixth Division.

"The Japanese army stopped in Mandalay and didn't leave?" At the same time that Kanda Masa obtained the information of the thunder, Zhao Zhi, who had already arrived in Wan Town, also relied on the inside line to obtain the information of the Sixth Division. The Sixth Division currently has an establishment of 25,000 people, and the troops who followed Zhao Zhi to Wan Town are only more than 10,000 people. Once Thunder has built an airfield in Burma, he is not afraid of more people from this sixth division, throwing a few new incendiary bombs is enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot, not to mention that Thunder's heavy stalkers have also crossed the river and are rushing towards Wan Town, Zhao Zhi does not believe that the Japanese army's 105 heavy artillery can block the rocket artillery salvo of the stalker.

"Order the engineering regiment to strengthen the Wan Town Bridge as soon as possible, our armored troops will be almost there, and we must take Lashio in front of the Japanese army, otherwise we will lose the opportunity" Zhao Zhi is no stranger to Wan Town, this is the material distribution center of Thunder, and a large number of materials were sent to the arsenal in Kunming from here. Looking at the familiar and dilapidated Wan Town, Zhao Zhi couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for the Japanese army to occupy Burma, Wan Town would be much more prosperous and lively than it is now.

"Is there any distress in the sir's heart?" Seeing that Zhao Zhi's mood didn't seem to be very good, Xiao Ziyun, who followed Zhao Zhi's side, asked in a low voice. Luo Ying was left in Kunming by Zhao Zhi to take care of Luo Lin, Xiao Ziyun naturally took over the matter of taking care of Zhao Zhi, fortunately, Xiao Ziyun has already been convinced by Zhao Zhi, his current words and deeds are based on the interests of Thunder, and Zhao Zhi is quite satisfied with him.

"I'm wondering when this war will end" Zhao Zhi is a traveler, naturally knows the time and end of World War II, but because of his appearance, Germany is no longer like in his previous life to form an alliance with Japan and go to war with the Allies on two fronts. Goering sent Zhao Zhi the latest battle report of the German army, the Soviets have been tortured by the German army to death, Hitler's large number of elite troops did not open the formation as the Soviets thought to hedge with the Soviet army, but according to Zhao Zhi's point-to-point combination tactics relying on the cover of armored forces, constantly dividing and outflanking the Soviet army, so far, the Soviet army has been eaten by the German army about 200,000 troops.

The U.S. Navy and the Japanese Navy were also fighting fiercely, and the U.S. forces in the Philippines did not surrender as much as they did in their previous lives. A large number of temporarily armed Philippine resistance forces are active in the mountains and forests, using their familiarity with the terrain to constantly carry out sneak attacks and harassment of the Japanese army, under the containment of the Philippine resistance forces, the Philippine US troops who have been in trouble have been silently accumulating their own strength, once the US Navy wins the victory and controls the South Asian waters, it will be the time for them to counterattack.

The main reason for the thunderous attack on Burma was to contain the Japanese army, and Zhao Zhi did not expect that the Japanese army base camp would transfer 150,000 troops from the Philippines to aid Burma for himself, and with 150,000 Japanese troops missing, the pressure on the American troops cruising in the mountains and forests of the Philippines should be much less. Zhao Zhi doesn't care about fighting, he now has soldiers and weapons in his hands, but he still has no bottom in his heart, because he doesn't know where this war will end.

"I think it shouldn't be too far" Xiao Ziyun's voice was as ethereal as the fog on the distant mountains, the War of Resistance is now in its fifth year, and it cannot be said that the Japanese army that took China in three months has been smoothed out by China, and the Chinese have also been exhausted by this protracted war. But in their hearts they still longed for victory, and they longed to drive all the Japanese back to their homeland and regain the lost territories.

The engineering troops under the personal command of Mo Lun performed well, whether it was building the Nu River trestle bridge or repairing and reinforcing the current Wan Town Bridge, they were all in full swing and full of enthusiasm. Zhao Zhi was idle and had nothing to do, so he took Xiao Ziyun to wander around the Wan Town Bridge, watching the sappers strengthen the Wan Town Bridge, "Let's go, let's go back" Standing by the Wan Town Bridge for a long time, Zhao Zhi suddenly felt a little meaningless.

"Sir, news from Tengchong" As soon as Zhao Zhi and Xiao Ziyun walked into the headquarters, the confidential officer sent the telegram they had just received. "The 1st Infantry Division left behind in Tengchong has already dispatched supplies and reinforcements to the Amo Pass, where it is said that the Nujiang trestle bridge has been able to pass heavy vehicles, and asked whether the Stalker Hail Brigade that has crossed the river to complete the assembly has marched to Wan Town overnight" The situation reported by the confidential officer is indeed good news for Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi was restless at Wanmachi Bridge because Thunder Fairy Ah lacked heavy firepower weapons, and the crossing of the river by the Heavy Stalker Brigade indicated that Thunder was no longer inferior to the Japanese Sixth Division in terms of firepower.

The Stalker Hail Brigade is the first armored formation in the Stalker formation to get a number, and Joey, who was the first to use the Stalker to make achievements, failed to get a number for the team under his command, which shows that Zhao Zhi attaches great importance to this Hail Brigade. The Heavy Stalker is an alternative product made by the Jewish technicians of the Kunming Arsenal, and it is more than 32 tons in the empty state, plus the 24 rockets and heavy machine gun bullets in the carriage at the time of the war, as well as the accompanying personnel, the overall weight of the Heavy Stalker has exceeded 35 tons, which is also in the ranks of heavy European armored weapons.

The Stalker Brigade, which was named Hail by Zhao Zhi, has 12 12-tube Stalker rocket artillery vehicles, 4 tracked light Stalker personnel carriers, 4 tracked medium ammunition supply vehicles, 200 combat infantry who provide alert fire for the Stalkers, plus the operators needed by the Stalkers, and the entire Hail Brigade has a staffing of 320 people. It is believed that after the rocket salvo is fired four rounds, there will be no one alive within a radius of 2 miles of the bomb impact area, unless they are hidden deep underground to escape the bombardment of rockets.

The Stalker rocket artillery vehicle is the trump card of the Thunder Ace, in order for the Stalker to exert its true power, when the weapons laboratory in Florida took the rockets made by the Soviets to disassemble and upgrade, Zhao Zhi was constantly accumulating the materials and technicians needed to produce rockets. Before the Japanese army intended to land in Burma, the rocket mountain production line in Florida had been discontinued, and the current rockets of the Thunder were completely produced in the arsenal in Kunming.

After nearly a year of accumulation, the rockets assigned to the Stalker were enough for Zhao Zhi for three months, and after three months, perhaps the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Combined Fleet would be able to distinguish between the winners and losers. Once Japan loses control of the South Asian seas, the rocket production line in Florida will be restarted, and a large number of rockets will be disembarked in Yangon by sea and handed over to the Thunder, and at that time, Zhao Zhi will increase the number of heavy stalkers so that the Japanese army can taste the power of rocket artillery.

"Don't be in a hurry, let them march during the day and rest well at night" It has only been a week since the river was crossed, and the 6th Division, which was in the midst of a strong attack by the 160,000 Japanese army, has only only reached Mandalay, and Zhao Zhi has no reason to let the Hail Brigade be too rushed. The power of rocket artillery is huge, but there are also certain drawbacks, first of all, rocket artillery is not dominant in mountain combat, and secondly, Thunder's fuel and ammunition reserves are in Kunming, if you want the stalker to quickly intersperse, you must ensure that the supply of fuel and ammunition is continuous, and this is exactly what Zhao Zhi is worried about, if Thunder's logistics supply line is attacked by the Japanese army, the stalker he relies on will become the biggest chicken rib.

"Sir, the information just sent from Mandalay, our intelligence officer said that the Japanese Sixth Division has joined their armored mixed brigade and will soon go north to Lashio" After Zhao Zhi heard the news that made Xiao Ziyun break out in a cold sweat, he still nodded lightly to indicate that he knew, but there was no anxiety in his expression. In fact, Xiao Ziyun is not familiar with the terrain of Mandalay, and the more than 700-mile journey from Mandalay south to Yangon is suitable for the rapid march of the troops, but although the distance from Mandalay north to Wan Town is only half of the journey to Yangon, it is all mountainous and forested terrain, and the Sixth Division will not be able to reach Lashio in four days from Mandalay, and Zhao Zhi's airborne troops will set off to parachute into Lashio tonight.
