Everything began to develop in a good direction, and the Eighth Route Army finally responded to Zhang Lan's matter, agreeing in principle that Zhang Lan would go to Zhangwu County, but the Luoyan Mountain guerrillas had to move to the county seat as Zhang Lan's direct squad. In return, Zhao Zhihui trained Sun Jin's reinforced company and Luoyanshan guerrillas for the Eighth Route Army, and the weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese army would also be supplemented to them first, and what Sun Jin needed to do was to replace the Jewish Army and become the defense gendarmerie of the county.

Whether to join the thunder, Zhang Lan doesn't want to think about it now, she has put all her energy on the county, the female county magistrate is the first in the whole of China, especially this female county magistrate is still a member of the ** class, for a while, the newspapers in the national control area were full of reports about Zhang Lan, and even the city wall sent a letter of inquiry through the military commander, but Zhao Zhi still went his own way and insisted on using Zhang Lan as the county magistrate of Zhangwu County.

"Zhangwu County will become a safe zone, Thunder Defense welcomes all anti-Japanese armed forces to come here to rest, welcomes anti-Japanese soldiers to join Zhangwu, and Thunder Defense will provide a real safe zone for everyone. Here you will get treatment and medicine, you can get weapons and ammunition supplies, as long as you are sincere in fighting the Japanese army, Thunder and Zhangwu County are your strong backing" This is a passage sent back to Chongqing with Zhao Zhi's reply, in fact, it is an advertisement that Zhao Zhi made for Zhangwu County.

This is another plan of Zhao Zhi, he wants to use Zhangwu County as a bait to recruit enough people for his follow-up plan, and he currently needs more people to expand his troops. The Germans did not trust the Jews, and Zhao Zhi also did not trust the Jews who were full of copper in their bones, and the Jews could help him fight the Japanese army when he sought Zhao Zhi's protection, but when they were really full-fledged, Zhao Zhi did not know how many Jews would remember the contract signed between them.

Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, and Gansu all have intelligence stations of the military command, and Zhao Zhi scattered this advertisement everywhere through the intelligence network of the military commander, and even spread the news in many enemy-occupied areas. The progressive students were the first to respond, followed by those people who still had a conscience in the enemy-occupied areas, and the people who quietly joined forces began to assemble in Zhangwu, Shanxi through various channels, and the Japanese blockade line was full of loopholes, and the people in the enemy-occupied areas entered the Guotong area and marched towards Zhangwu County through these loopholes, because they believed that they would fight the Japanese like a soldier in Zhangwu County.

40,000 people, in just one week, 40,000 people arrived in Zhangwu County through various channels, and Zhangwu County at this time does not look like a safe zone, but like a big market or a construction site. The south-to-north transfer is full of Zhangwu County, and the influx of a large number of people is a test for Zhao Zhi and Lei Ting, the mass graves in the south of Zhangwu County have been leveled into a super large barracks, and the people gathered in Zhangwu County will be screened and trained in this barracks, for which Zhao Zhi mobilized a large number of food and living materials from Shaanxi and Yunnan through transport planes, anyway, Zhao Zhi has money in his hands.

Rowling tricked Zhang Lan into coming to Zhangwu County to deal with civil affairs, which was definitely a wise choice, because Zhao Zhi had already seen the results. After selecting more than 200 locals from Zhangwu County who could read and write, Zhang Lan, China's only female county magistrate, took office, and with Zhao Zhi and 20,000 Jewish soldiers outside the city behind them, the wealthy families of Zhangwu County chose to lose their voices collectively. With the arrival of several reinforced regiments of the national army and 40,000 people stationed outside the city, the anti-Japanese atmosphere in Zhangwu County is unusually high, it seems that this time they will not be abandoned again, so many troops are gathered here, the government is going to do a big fight with the Japanese.

"It seems that your advertisement is very effective, and more people will come here, and they all want to follow you to fight devils" Rowling snuggled up to Zhao Zhi, and the two of them stood on the city wall in the night and watched the bonfires dotted outside the city. Under the leadership of the guidance team, the people gathered here already have a bit of soldiers, whether it is day or night, mobile posts and guard posts are also set up around their camps like regular military camps, and in time, these people will definitely become the most staunch anti-Japanese fighters in Zhao Zhi's army.

"Darling, what do you say Bo Yuan's mind has been thinking all day? Why can't I see through him more and more, the 100,000 soldiers under his own command are not enough weapons and equipment, why should he give priority to replenishing the captured weapons and equipment to other troops? What do you think he's doing this for? Song Meiling looked at today's newspaper, the front page headline was Zhao Zhi's advertisement, if it wasn't for Zhao Zhi before leaving Chongqing, let Rowling convey her original words about her unintentional pursuit of deer in China, Song Meiling would think that Zhao Zhi was buying people's hearts.

"Boyuan this person sees the problem very far, his hand is similar to the Spark plan of the previous year, the Japanese garrison in China is far from our population, and there are often attacks on the Japanese army in the Japanese theater. If he succeeds, he will have a large number of soldiers in his hands, even if he loses, at least he can arouse the people's heart to resist the enemy, he is a sure deal" Chiang Kai-shek still understood Zhao Zhi's intentions, this move, Chiang Kai-shek also wanted to use it, but he did not have Zhao Zhi's strong backing to support.

A large number of weapons and equipment supported by the Americans were airlifted to Kunming, and the resources needed by the Kunming armored car factory were continuously transported from Burma by the convoys of major firms, and from time to time there were weapons and supplies smuggled by the Rockman family from Florida, plus the bullet production lines that had been put into operation at the Kunming base, and the foreshadowing that Zhao Zhi had done in the early stage had reached the harvest season. When the construction of the airport in Zhangwu County is completed, the weapons and ammunition hoarded in the Kunming base will be transferred to Zhangwu County at the Xi'an Airport, and at that time, Zhangwu County will become the real forward base of Thunder.

"Boyuan will leave after all" Chiang Kai-shek sighed deeply, the current Zhao Zhi has soldiers, weapons and supplies, and there are Americans, Germans and the support of the Lockman family behind him, as long as Zhao Zhi is given a long-term foothold, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhao Zhi will not become a hero, but such a person can not be used for himself, which is really the biggest regret in the world.

"Okay, don't be sad, didn't Boyuan also relieve your courage so much? When he trains the reinforced regiments for us to form combat strength, then don't you plug all the mouths that oppose you in the Ministry of Military Affairs" Chiang Kai-shek's life during this period was quite difficult, the war on the front line has always been a tug-of-war, a large number of casualties among soldiers and the continuous actions of the Japanese army, so that there are a lot of remarks against Chiang Kai-shek in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and there is even a topic of letting Chiang Kai-shek go into the field recently, and those people think that Chiang Kai-shek, as the chairman of the committee, is fully responsible for changing the war situation to be unfavorable.

"Those in the Ministry of Military Affairs are villains, so I'm not worried about them" Chiang Kai-shek patted the back of Song Meiling's hand comfortingly, "Now the world is at war everywhere, the Americans are slow to express their support for us, and the Germans are busy giving the British the final blow, although the Soviets have given us support for the air force, but you have also seen it, they want us to entangle the Japanese army, they don't want to go to war with the German army, the Japanese army will take the opportunity to attack their homeland, in the final analysis, China is now a rag, whoever wants to use it, take it and use it, Just throw it aside when you don't need it."

"Didn't Boyuan send a telegram saying that he wanted us to befriend Germany? I wonder if we should send a diplomatic mission to Berlin, because the United States and Germany are not hostile countries, so let's send a few people from our embassy in the United States to Germany? Song Meiling suddenly remembered what Zhao Zhi asked Rowling to convey before leaving, judging from the current world pattern, it is safe to rely on Germany in the short term. If the Soviets and Germany went to war, Germany would have hoped that China would send troops from Outer Mongolia or Northeast China into the Soviet Union to contain the Soviets' forces for them.

"Okay, I think it's okay" Zhao Zhi handed Chiang Kai-shek a document on the importance of Northeast China, and Zhao Zhi bluntly pointed out that if China can recover Northeast China now, countries around the world will immediately change their attitudes towards China, and the first to bear the brunt is the Soviet Union and Germany. Chiang Kai-shek's analysis of Zhao Zhi was very exciting, but the strength in his hands was not enough to recover the Northeast at the moment, so the report that he knew earlier was locked in a safe by Chiang Kai-shek.

Zhao Zhi's declaration of the security zone was not only known to the people of the national control area, but also to the Japanese army, and the thunder was too famous. Especially after the recapture of Zhangwu County this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi did not react for a long time, not because they had no time to take care of it, but because no Japanese troops were willing to provoke Zhao Zhi, unless the troops sent to recover Zhangwu County were composed of divisions and regiments, they had no certainty of victory. The whole of Shanxi became more like a pot of porridge because of the appearance of the thunder, and there was news of attacking the Japanese army everywhere, and it was impossible for the Japanese army, who was busy filling the gaps, to draw out a whole division and run to Zhangwu County to fight Zhao Zhi.

"Order the Special High Division to immediately send intelligence officers to Zhangwu County, I want to know what happened there, I want to know the movement of the Thunder Defense" The agents scattered all over Shanxi began to assemble in Zhangwu County according to the instructions of the Taiyuan Division, and they will blend in with the civilians and enter Zhangwu County to spy on Zhao Zhi and Thunder.

The Japanese army's special high school was like this, and the military commander and the intelligence organs of the Eighth Route Army also sent people to march to Zhangwu County, which was like a piece of cake with a tempting machine, attracting forces from all sides to gather here, and everyone wanted to taste the taste of this cake. Zhao Zhi didn't care that Zhangwu County would become a powder keg, he just wanted to attract the Japanese army to Zhangwu County, only actual combat was the best way to test the combat strength of his troops, and only war could make those civilians outside the city become a soldier in the shortest possible time.
