"Okay, order the airborne troops in Xingbu Town to immediately get rid of the Japanese puppet army entangled with it, rush to Weifang at full speed to take over the defense, contact the military commander's intelligence station in Jiaodong, and immediately gather all the intelligence information of the Japanese puppet army in Jiaodong, so as to prepare for the troops to move east into Jiaodong." The battle of Weifang is the best news that Zhao Zhi has heard in the past few days, one of the two gates in Jiaodong has been opened to Thunder, and the rest depends on whether Yan Wudao can hold this gate before Thunder's army arrives in Weifang.

All the troops under Zhao Zhi's hands were scattered and distributed throughout Shandong, and the only ones close to Weifang were the 3,000 Jewish airborne troops who had already marched to Xingbu Town and the 100,000 Burmese troops in Anqiu. Zhao Zhi had the intention of drawing a part of the troops from Anqiu's 100,000 Burmese troops to the north to support Yan Wudao in Weifang, but the 100,000 Burmese troops not only wanted to intercept the Japanese puppet army that went north to support Weifang, but also attacked Zhucheng and then went east to Jiaodong to act as the vanguard of the thunder, after thinking about it, Zhao Zhi finally decided to give Yan Wudao only 3,000 airborne troops.

Counting the 3,000 Jewish airborne troops, Yan Wudao has nearly 4,000 troops in his hands, but he has to hold on to Weifang for three to five days before waiting for a large number of Burmese troops to arrive later, because there are still many Japanese puppet troops around Weifang, and the troops who were ordered to rush to Weifang still need to fight with these Japanese puppet army troops along the way. "Immediately the South Shore Villa sent a report, the first step of the eastward expansion plan was implemented smoothly, Weifang has been conquered, and the cities will be in my hands soon." Zhao Zhi has now completely gotten rid of the direct contact between the Ministry of Military Affairs and Chiang Kai-shek, and there are too many involved in the eastward movement, and Zhao Zhi does not want to be leaked by the people of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Zhao Zhi's intention in sending a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek was very simple, that is, to urge the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Nationalist army, and after taking Jiaodong, Thunder's troops in Shandong had to block the attack of the Japanese puppet army along the line of Weifang and Zhucheng. All the troops have been used to stabilize the defensive line, and the control area that Thunder has taken will naturally become a vacuum, which requires the follow-up national army troops to take over these places. Of course, Zhao Zhi would not be kind enough to give these places to the national army in vain, and the areas handed over to the national army were all in Weifang and the periphery of Zhucheng, and Zhao Zhi wanted to use these national troops to block the Japanese puppet army that invaded Jiaodong.

Chiang Kai-shek naturally knew Zhao Zhi's intentions, but he couldn't refuse Zhao Zhi, taking Jiaodong and holding Jiaodong were two different things, in the final analysis, Zhao Zhi's thunder was only a guest army, and he couldn't expect Zhao Zhi to lose all the thunderous troops to defend Jiaodong. Paying the price for a decisive victory is also a good deal in Chiang Kai-shek's opinion, after all, Zhao Zhi is anti-Japanese, even if the Japanese puppet army will attack the area controlled by the national army at that time, I believe that Zhao Zhi will never sit idly by and ignore it at that time.

What the capture of Weifang means to Thunder, may only Zhao Zhi and a few insiders around him know that before the capture of the entire Jiaodong Peninsula, Zhao Zhi will not tell his plan in its entirety, even in the face of Chiang Kai-shek and Rowling's staff. "Sir, the South Shore Villa called back, the 74th Army has boarded the ship, everything is going well." The telegram that Zhao Zhi was looking forward to did not mention the specific location of the national army's troops, but Zhao Zhi understood the meaning of the four words that everything was going well.

Chiang Kai-shek was the deaf man of the Kuomintang, but he could not leave the Ministry of Military Affairs to make his own decisions, especially the matter of mobilizing the army had to be ordered through the Ministry of Military Affairs, otherwise the bigwigs in the Ministry of Military Affairs who supported the army and respected themselves would have ousted Chiang Kai-shek from power long ago. After several years of resistance against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek's descendants have almost lost their troops, and now the only people who can be entrusted by Chiang Kai-shek with important tasks are the 74th Army and the 300,000 reserve army assembled in Henan, and the 74th Army is already an all-American equipment, and more than 50,000 people in the reserve army are equipped with American weapons.

"Okay, since the call has been returned, then we should also transfer, let's go to Guangrao." However, after staying in Gaoqing for only three hours, Zhao Zhi ordered the troops to move towards Guangrao. The 74th Army has boarded the ship and will soon be able to reach Jiaodong by sea, and the reserve army in Henan is also ready to attack the rear of the Japanese army, but these troops are not under the command of Zhao Zhi, they all listen to Chiang Kai-shek, and after Chiang Kai-shek's descendants were lost one after another in the battle with the Japanese army, these two troops became the new descendants of Chiang.

After the Burmese mercenary troops besieging Binzhou sent 100,000 people to Zhucheng, they again dispatched 20,000 people to gather in Guangrao to wait for Zhao Zhi, these 20,000 people were the surprise that Zhao Zhi prepared for Yan Wudao, but the premise was that Yan Wudao must hold Weifang and not be recaptured by the Japanese army. Zhao Zhi's order was sent to Weifang, where Yan Wudao held it as soon as possible, and Yan Wudao, who had already found the Airborne Troops, laughed and said that he would live and die with Weifang, Yan Wudao's optimism made Zhao Zhi temporarily put his mind at ease, but he still urged the troops to speed up the march.

"Oh my God, Yan, you have reduced this place to ruins." Looking at the dilapidated Weifang city gate in front of him, Claire, the commander of the Jewish Airborne Forces who had just arrived in Weifang, called God forgive. The Jewish airborne troops who rushed to Weifang from Linyi were intercepted and pursued by the Japanese puppet army along the way, and if it weren't for the help of the military command team, Claire and they would have been surrounded and killed by the Japanese army in the field from Daotian Town without even seeing the head of Weifang.

"Claire, you can't wronged me, this is all Eric that guy did it, you know what kind of virtue his artillerymen are, they are all guys who just blow up and don't clean up." Yan Wudao, who was in a good mood, slapped Claire's back and shoulders hard, and the latter could only grit his teeth to dodge the slap of Yan Wudao's fan-sized slap.

"Let's talk about the situation we are facing at the moment" After a few words of greeting, Yan Wudao, whose face returned to calm, beckoned Claire into his temporary headquarters, saying that it was the headquarters, but it was actually an empty room left by the Japanese troops stationed in the city tower. "It will take two days for Mr. to arrive in Weifang, and I only have less than a thousand people to use now, and your people are here to come in handy." Yan Wudao was not hypocritical, and directly told Claire about the difficulties he was facing now.

"It's nothing, isn't it just holding on here for two days and waiting for the boss to come over? Don't worry, my guys are doing this, but I'm going to need some long-range firepower, you know, we came here with just some bazookas, light machine guns, and mortars, and I'm going to need heavy machine guns and bigger guns. Claire simply asked Yan Wudao if he wanted heavy firepower, but the only two 75 mountain guns in the Japanese arsenal had already been taken away by Eric, and Yan Wudao had any heavy weapons in addition to the four large-caliber heavy machine guns in his hand.

"There are only four heavy machine guns, do you like it, the two 75 mountain guns have been taken away by Eric, I am also writing about the light mortars of the Japanese army, but there are quite a lot of shells, enough for you to fight." Yan Wudao pouted and handed Claire the list of weapons, but his mercenaries really didn't need these things, and it was nothing to give Claire.

There are plenty of weapons and plenty of ways to hold on, weapons are scarce and there are ways to hold on, and Yan Wudao and Claire are not the kind of people who stick to the rules. Yan Wudao took Weifang and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition from the Japanese army, but there was not enough manpower to use these weapons. So at Claire's instigation, Yan Wudao led a group of mercenaries under his command to make enough land mines with these ammunition, and with these things, Yan Wudao believed that he and Claire should be enough to hold on until his husband led the troops to Weifang.

But the development of things is often beyond everyone's expectations, and Yan Wudao and Claire, who were waiting for the battle, did not see the Japanese puppet army reinforcements who came to Weifang to rescue until they ushered in Zhao Zhi's vanguard. After leaving Zhao Zhi's temporary headquarters in Shanghe County, Yao Laoyu immediately broke up his more than 10,000 guerrilla troops into dozens of troops and went to various parts of Shandong to attack and harass the Japanese puppet army.

Zibo is the closest to Weifang of the Japanese puppet army assembly place, they do not send troops, not to mention Dongying and Zhucheng, which are difficult to protect, Qingdao and Yantai also have Japanese troops, but unfortunately they are too far away from Weifang, and when Zhao Zhi arrived in Weifang, the reinforcements from Moss and Yantai are still halfway. "Leave 10,000 troops to garrison Weifang, and immediately start recruiting people to build fortifications, and the other troops will immediately march east to Pingdu after a day's rest." The 20,000 Burmese troops brought by Zhao Zhi were also tired, and supplies and fuel needed to be replenished in Weifang.

Since these people in Weifang City dare not fight with the Japanese army, it is good to do something to help build fortifications, if they don't even want to do this thing, Zhao Zhi doesn't mind sending people to press them to live in the Japanese war zone. Although Thunder's method of recruiting people is almost the same as that of the national army, they come to arrest people, but the people who are recruited are given food and wages, and the source of wages is the money obtained by the imperial army anyway.

"The more than 400 imperial troops can't stay in Weifang, and staying is a disaster." Zhao Zhi whispered to Yan Wudao about the arrangements for the Imperial Allied Army anyway, "As the Thunder East movement continues, there will only be more and more Imperial Allied troops who surrender to Thunder, these guys are all wall-to-wall grass that falls with the wind, as long as the Japanese army comes to attack or the Imperial Allied Army rises up against Thunder, the remaining Imperial Allied Army will follow, Zhao Zhi will not kill them directly, but it is most appropriate to use them to persuade them to surrender in the area controlled by the Japanese puppet army in Jiaodong."
