Sun Zhi thought well, the Thunder mercenaries did come back, but their numbers were not very large, because Okamura Ningji mobilized an army to block almost all the passages from Jiaodong to the inland, and these Thunder mercenaries who infiltrated Hebei were all sent by Luo Lin from Burma. Okamura Ningji has been driven crazy by Zhao Zhi, and after four consecutive Kwantung Army divisions went south to help in the battle, Okamura Ningji transferred a large number of troops to besiege Hengshui, besiege Xingtai, and besiege Handan.

In the face of a menacing and strong enemy, under the instruction of Zhao Zhi, Lei Ting and the national army troops who had already taken over these places began to deliberately shrink the defensive line. Okamura Ningji, who almost effortlessly recovered these places, still wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the Kwantung Army division in the south was ordered to rush to the Nanyang battlefield to help in the war, and they could not help Okamura Ningji to deal with Zhao Zhi endlessly, and in desperation, Okamura Ningji had no choice but to mobilize heavy troops to station in Deyang, Binzhou, Jinan and Linyi, and command the Japanese puppet army troops in these places to move slowly eastward, in a vain attempt to completely block Zhao Zhi on the Jiaodong Peninsula.

How could Zhao Zhi, who had not yet picked up Jiaodong, give up here, and after the successful landing of the 74th Army, Zhao Zhian uncharacteristically nested on the Jiaodong Peninsula and did not move. Jiaodong is big enough, and the anti-Japanese propaganda of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army is also doing well, at least the people here are hostile to the Japanese, and the Thunder brand is still very effective, Zhao Zhi plans to recruit troops here. "Conscription of 100,000? Boyuan, don't you want to wipe out all the young people in Jiaodong? Wang Yaowu originally thought that Zhao Zhi's conscription would be enough to get tens of thousands of soldiers, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhi's conscription to be 100,000.

"Chairman Jiang said that as soon as the war begins, there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between the old and the young, and no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war." Zhao Zhi quoted a passage from Chiang Kai-shek's "Solemn Statement on the Lugou Bridge Incident". Wang Yaowu is a staunch pro-Jiang faction, so he naturally knows the source of this passage, but now the number of Zhao Zhi's conscription is 100,000, if it is the whole of Shandong, it is better to say, this is Jiaodong, and it may be difficult to recruit 100,000 soldiers.

"General Wang, don't worry, my people will handle these things, you just need to send some experienced officers and veterans from the 74th Army to prepare for training new soldiers." In the face of Wang Yaowu's incomprehension, Zhao Zhi seemed to have made up his mind. More often than not, the conscription of the national army is actually to catch strong men, and they are generally dragged into the gang by force, and the common people will naturally have resistance. But this is not the case with Thunder's recruitment, the first recruits recruited by Thunder will first go through at least three months of targeted training, so that they will not even know how to defend against artillery when they go into battle.

The second is the famous name of Thunder, Thunder is the most capable of fighting, following Thunder can kill devils for revenge, this is already the consensus in the hearts of many Chinese, and Thunder is well-equipped, and usually pays military salaries for the dead and injured and pensions. Besides, the guerrillas developed by the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong have not yet left, and Zhao Zhi believes that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army will definitely help him in recruitment. "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Wang Yaowu was a little unimpressed with Zhao Zhi's confidence, and he didn't believe that Zhao Zhi could recruit 100,000 recruits in Jiaodong.

Zhao Zhi dared to pack a ticket to Wang Yaowu is naturally well-founded, and the people of the military commander had secretly started relevant mission activities in Jiaodong before Zhao Zhidong entered Jiaodong, and Zhao Zhi had long known the population of Jiaodong, its distribution and the proportion of young and strong. "Tell Xie Hua and them to start acting, the training camp will first use the barracks left by the Japanese army, and pull those imperial troops who surrendered to us into training, and there will be tens of thousands of people." Zhao Zhi took Jiaodong and not only annihilated the Japanese army here, but also received a large number of Imperial Cooperative Army troops who voluntarily surrendered, and there were more than 30,000 Imperial Cooperative troops who surrendered to Thunder alone, and Zhao Zhi would not feed them in vain with food.

Okamura Ningji seems to have blocked Zhao Zhi on the Jiaodong Peninsula, but in fact, Zhao Zhi is taking the opportunity to hibernate, as long as the time comes, the 74th Army will be strong out of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Zhao Zhi was trapped in Jiaodong and could not continue to implement the plan for the time being, and Rowling, who had already received instructions, sent nearly a thousand mercenaries from Myanmar to quietly infiltrate Hebei to prepare for the third large-scale raid. Zhao Zhiyou thought about contacting Chiang Kai-shek and asking the Nationalist troops in North China and Central China to cooperate in the operation to attract Okamura Ningji's attention, but the good and bad in the Nationalist Army were uneven, and Zhao Zhi was afraid that Okamura Ningji would know his combat intentions, so he had to rely on mercenary troops and those guerrilla armies.

Okamura Ninji mobilized heavy troops to encircle the Jiaodong Peninsula, so the forces he deployed in North China and Central China were bound to be insufficient, and the 300,000 Nationalist Army reserve troops who became Chiang Kai-shek's new descendants had also sneaked to the junction of Henan and Hebei. Once Zhao Zhi's third attack and harassment operation is not moved by Okamura Ningji, the 300,000 national army reserve army, which has already been prepared for the attack, will take advantage of the speed advantage to take advantage of the situation to occupy and take over Hebei, which has already been stirred up by the attack and harassment operation.

The mercenary commander who was entrusted by Rowling to lead the team into Hebei was Tang Lei, this time he was fighting in his own country, Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops did not follow, and Tang Lei, who was urgently transferred back by Rowling from the Vietnam battlefield, only brought Yu Dazhi's 700 mercenaries left in Qinglongping and the action team of the three military commanders. The task of the military command action team is to guide Tang Lei and them to guide the route and connect with the guerrillas, and Dai Li naturally hopes that the three action teams he sent can learn more from the Thunder mercenary force.

"The situation is not optimistic" Flipping through the information fed back by each team, Tang Lei, who was expressionless, muttered to himself in his heart, Okamura Ningji, an old shameless Japanese devil, took the opportunity of the Kwantung Army troops to go south and pass through Hebei, and carried out continuous encirclement and suppression operations against the anti-Japanese forces in Hebei. According to Zhao Zhi's orders, some of the guerrillas who carried out the task of dispersing and infiltrating were surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army before they could evacuate, and the four guerrillas around the Dustpan Mountain were disabled, and Sun Zhi was a sniper in one of the guerrillas.

The only thing that cannot be missing in fighting behind enemy lines is the mass base, which is one thing that Lei Ting figured out after dealing with the Eighth Route Army, without the local guerrillas, Tang Lei and they became outsiders. It's always the Thunder mercenaries who can fight, and it's impossible for them to go without food or sleep without supplies or intelligence support, and they only have less than a thousand people, and it's obviously impossible to turn Hebei upside down with this little people.

The urgency of the delay is to find the guerrilla forces that have been broken up and hidden, and the three action teams assigned to Tang Lei by the military commander have all gone out to find their respective connectors. Tang Lei also sent a mercenary team to search around, and the rescued Sun Zhi was lucky enough to bump into one of the mercenary teams, and Tang Lei's temporary command was temporarily placed in Huangzhuang, and Huang Yuquan believed that the Huangzhuang stronghold that was beaten down by the main force of the Eighth Route Army also belonged to Tang Lei.

Wang Hai, who was half-convinced, still came, and brought his Dashicun guerrillas to Huangzhuang, looking at the Huangzhuang stronghold that still hung the Japanese plaster flag, and the "Japanese puppet army" that appeared from time to time inside and outside the stronghold, Wang Hai, who still knew the truth, couldn't help but hold the barge gun handle tightly on his waist. This is probably the strangest thing that Wang Hai and the guerrillas under him have ever experienced in their lives, the Dashicun guerrillas carrying weapons actually swaggered in front of the Huangzhuang stronghold where the "Japanese puppet army" is all over the place, and the "Japanese soldier" on the top of the turret also frequently waved to Wang Hai and them.

"My mother, this thunderous person is really bold enough, he didn't withdraw after beating the Huangzhuang stronghold, and he dared to pretend to be a Japanese soldier to live here." Seeing with his own eyes that the Huangzhuang stronghold intercepted three waves of grain transportation teams from the county seat in one afternoon, Wang Hai, who was confused, now finally understood why this group of thunderous people occupied the Huangzhuang stronghold and did not leave. It didn't matter if the grain could be intercepted or not, the important thing was that the three waves of grain transport teams contributed more than 50 rifles and 3 light machine guns, as well as a Japanese soldier's head.

"Send someone to send this head of Guijing Shaozuo to the Japanese army in the county town, and throw it far away at the gate of the city, but if you want to bring the words, just say that Thunder invites them to fight, and they choose the place and time." Tang Lei's next order made Wang Hai, who was immersed in joy, shiver. I've heard of sports warfare and ambush warfare with the Japanese army, but I've never heard of anyone who takes the initiative to invite the Japanese army to fight, but Wang Hai can't stop it, because until now, Wang Hai, who has entered Huangzhuang, has not figured out how many of these thunderous mercenaries are here.

"Fool, that's a trick from someone else, have you ever seen anyone who would stupidly run to the place designated by the enemy to fight." Huang Yuquan dragged Wang Hai to his house, beckoned his wife to burn the wine, and the two of them drank and chatted on the kang cross-legged with a plate of peanuts. "I think this thunderous commander is amazing, the murderous aura on his body is too big, I think, the battalion commander Zhu of the Eighth Route Army who stayed in our Huangzhuang to recuperate from his injuries last time can't compare to him."

Wang Hai was amused by Huang Yuquan's pretense of mysteriousness, "But Camp Commander Zhu is also a battalion commander anyway, and he has hundreds of people under his hands, Huangzhuang's current one is far behind, I've been looking at it for an afternoon, and I haven't seen how many people he has under him, I think he's a company commander or something." ”

Before the words fell, Huang Yuquan almost didn't squirt out the wine in his mouth, which would make him laugh at Wang Hai's lack of eyesight, "I don't know how you are a guerrilla captain, I was present when people entered Zhuangzi yesterday, and the stronghold has just started fighting on the other side of the turret, and many people here have surrounded our Huangzhuang." You said that if they only had one company, how could they surround our Huangzhuang? So, you're definitely looking away. ”
