The telegram from Ringanqiang forced Zhao Zhi to re-examine the battle plan he had drawn up, this was Burma, not Shanxi, and in Shanxi, Zhao Zhi had a large number of civilians to recruit into the army. Although the Burmese mountain people are familiar with the mountains and forests, and with a little training, they can fight with guns, and some of them can even join Zhao Zhi's mercenary troops, but Zhao Zhi can't believe them, at least before Thunder controls the entire territory of Myanmar, Zhao Zhi doesn't dare to use these so-called Burmese guerrillas too much.

But Zhao Zhi's problem is precisely here, the lack of troops is the biggest problem that plagues Zhao Zhi, if Zhao Zhi can have as many troops as the Japanese army, he can divide the troops to fight, and use the powerful firepower of thunder to drive the Japanese army directly into the sea. The 30,000 Jewish troops who swaggered into Lashio were still just rookies in the training camp who had never been on the battlefield, and even Tengchong and Longling on the Nu River were also received by the national army, and the rear of the thunder could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, especially after the 18th Division and the 55th Division were combined.

The appearance of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army in Ren'anqiang confirmed Zhao Zhi's judgment on the adjustment of the Japanese army's tactics, and after the Japanese 6th Division, the 22nd Division, and the 56th Division were frustrated in their advance along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the Japanese began to adjust their tactics. When the combined forces of the 22nd Division and the 56th Division retreated to Donghu and confronted Thunder, the Japanese 18th Division and the 55th Division quietly diverted to Taunggyi, and the 31st Division that landed later appeared in Ringanqiang, and a 33rd Division never showed up.

Standing under the night sky with his hands in his hands, Zhao Zhi looked up at the rare clear sky, the bright night sky had countless twinkling stars, and the crisis in front of him made Zhao Zhi a little irritable. It is not easy for Thunder to get to this point, Thunder is Zhao Zhi's capital to settle down in this troubled world, if Zhao Zhi wants to put the entire Thunder into the big quagmire of Myanmar, even if he gives Zhao Zhi more money, he will not be happy, Zhao Zhi, who was born as a mercenary, only believes that he can control the resources in his hands, money and reputation are not what he values.

"Sir, Madame has sent all the tanks and armored vehicles from Kunming to our place, and a telegram has just been sent from Wan Town, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Mandalay in the early morning of the day after tomorrow" Luo Ying, who was becoming more and more calm, came and handed over the encrypted telegram he had just received to Zhao Zhi, who was at a loss. Zhao Zhi's initial crossing of the river was not to fight with the Japanese army in Burma, he just didn't want to get caught up in the turf battle between the national army and the Jin Sui army.

In consideration of Thunder itself, Zhao Zhi only led 30,000 troops across the river, and the remaining 20,000 people were all stationed on the front line of Tengchong and Longling, and Thunder's armored troops only brought half of them with him, and the remaining tanks and armored vehicles were left by Zhao Zhi in the Kunming base. Since entering Burma, the battle between Thunder and the Japanese army has hardly stopped, and Zhao Zhi's mind is also full of war, and Zhao Zhi, who opens his eyes every day and plans to open his mouth to act, naturally forgets that there are still a lot of tanks and armored vehicles in Kunming.

"Go and call Old Man Jones and Joey to come to my tent" The arrival of the remaining armored troops made Zhao Zhi lose the mood to continue to appreciate the starry sky, and several escort mercenaries around him were sent by him one after another to summon his mercenary officers to his tent for a meeting. The small-scale meeting in Zhao Zhi's tent lasted for most of the night, and the mercenaries who served as guards put the cordon 30 meters away from the tent, except for the parties involved, everyone knew the content of the meeting, but the mercenary officers who walked out of the tent in the middle of the night all shook their heads, and only Joey was eyebrows fluttering.

Zhao Zhi's long-distance attack plan continued, and the three regiments of the 2nd Infantry Division swaggered out of the city in broad daylight in front of those people in Mandalay and went straight to Taunggyi. Half an hour later, the 1st Infantry Division, which served as the defense of Mandalay, began to blockade Mandalay to find the spies lurking in the Japanese drama, if it was the Hunter assassin here, he would definitely shout that Zhao Zhi's sense of prevention was too poor, let alone half an hour, it only took a few minutes, and a well-trained intelligence officer could transmit the news of Thunder's dispatch to Taunggyi by radio.

Zhao Zhi didn't care that the whereabouts of the 2nd Infantry Division were known by the Japanese army, but he hoped that the Japanese intelligence officers lurking in Mandalay would quickly transmit the news, because the 2nd Infantry Division going to Taunggyi was just a cover, and it was the Burmese guerrillas who really exchanged fire with the Japanese army. In Zhao Zhi's revised action plan, the task of the 2nd Infantry Division was to fight the Japanese army in Taunggyi, but the real target of the Thunder was Donghu, which was entrenched in the remnants of the 22nd and 56th Divisions.

The whole of Mandalay was transferred because of Zhao Zhi's battle plan, and those who lived here were asked to vouch for those who knew each other, and those who were not willing to vouch were moved to other places by the 1st Infantry Division. The Jewish soldiers who acted according to the order did not know what Zhao Zhi's intentions were, and under the orders and restraints of the officers, the armed Jewish soldiers could only brutally break into the homes of these people one by one, searching all suspicious places and people.

The search operation that Zhao Zhi had made lasted a whole day, and after dinner, Zhao Zhi and a group of mercenary officers waited early on the side of the road outside Mandalay. The armored troops from Kunming will arrive in Mandalay in the middle of the night, and the Japanese spies hiding among the Burmese are too much to guard, and in order to block the news of the arrival of the armored troops, Zhao Zhi has to make a blockade operation in Mandalay.

The area south of Mandalay in Burma is mostly plain, and the Japanese are staggering in this terrain, especially when they have well-equipped trenches and bunkers. In the middle of the night arguments between Zhao Zhi and the mercenary officers, the strong mobility and destructive power of the Thunder armored force are the key to breaking the enemy, and the more than 60 tanks and armored vehicles commanded by Joey dare to chase against 20,000 Japanese troops, not to mention that this time there are more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles of all kinds.

"Boss, did you really decide to put all these big guys in command with me?" Joey's eyes unabashedly revealed a frenzy, and joining the Thunder gave this second-rate officer in the US military a stage to display his abilities. But Zhao Zhi's surprise to him was too shocking, if what Zhao Zhi said was true, the iron guys that Joey could command would be more than 240 vehicles, and a cluster of armored troops of this size would be placed in the US army, which was also at the division level, not to mention that Zhao Zhi also handed over the powerful storm troops to him to command.

"What? Can't command so many big guys or don't dare? If you think you can't do it, then I'll change someone else to command the merged armored division" Zhao Zhi's attitude made Joey ecstatic, especially Zhao Zhi revealed the news that the armored division was about to be formed, and if he could be in charge of the armored division, then he would really become the division commander, and he was about to be promoted. The ecstasy in his heart made Joey scratch his ears and cheeks and didn't know what to say, and Jones, who wanted to say but didn't know what to say, caused Jones and them to laugh non-stop.

Zhao Zhi's treatment of foreign mercenaries has always been clear rewards and punishments, as long as the mercenaries who join Thunder are capable, Zhao Zhi never hesitates to promote their officers and give them greater command. The technical arms in the Thunder mercenary troops, such as fighter troops, artillery and armored troops, Zhao Zhitong arranged for foreign officers to command, only infiltrators, sweeping teams and Tang Lei's Qingfeng troops, Zhao Zhi will appoint his own people to take charge, because compared with foreign mercenaries, Tang Lei They are relatively weak at the level of technical troops, and Zhao Zhi only relies on these recruited big-nosed foreigners.

A group of foreign officers under Zhao Zhi got together to joke about Joey, the new division commander, and the old man Jones even yelled for Joey to have a drink, but Zhao Zhi still stood aside to watch the excitement. "Coming" The mercenary in charge of the perimeter guard sent a signal with a flashlight, and the sound of a motor sounded on the road in the distance from far to near, and a three-wheeled motorcycle drove over quickly, and the headlights of the car pierced like a sharp sword that pierced the night sky, and Zhao Zhi, who was standing in front of the crowd, was transparent.

"Sir, the armored troops are here, and now they are 3 miles away from here, we are the first to rush back to report the news" Tang Yulin, nicknamed Tang Tuan, jumped out of the sidecar of the motorcycle and gave a standard military salute to Zhao Zhi. Tang Yulin, who is only 1.7 meters tall, was originally a tank company commander in the national army, and before Joey joined the Thunder, all of Zhao Zhi's tanks in Yangon were under Tang Yulin's control. But after the thunder was almost adjusted, Tang Yulin became the captain of the alert team who followed the activities of the command headquarters, which made him very uncomfortable, so he took advantage of the arrival of a large number of tanks to come to Zhao Zhi to show his face and fight for the opportunity to reunite with the armored forces.

"Stop, it's only a few miles away, why don't you use a walkie-talkie to contact?" Looking at Tang Yulin, who was a little cramped, Zhao Zhi smiled very happily, the competition between mercenaries is what Zhao Zhi wants to see the most, only in this way will the still immature Thunder develop and continue to enhance its combat effectiveness. Tang Yulin, who was seen through by Zhao Zhi, scratched his head with a simple smile, but he forgot that he still had a steel helmet on his head, and the harsh sound of his fingernails cutting through the steel helmet made Zhao Zhi's mouth sour, but in front of the officers present, Zhao Zhi had to endure the strange sound made by Tang Yulin.

"Here" Tang Yulin suddenly shouted, and a trace of vibration was already faintly detected under everyone's feet, only when large vehicles drove over the road, the road under their feet would have such a situation. The tremor became stronger and stronger, and everyone looked up in anticipation, and the rumbling armored troops finally appeared in the night, and the majestic and dark big guy made Joey and Tang Yulin overjoyed. 100 European tanks of various types, 30 light stalkers equipped with German MG42 machine guns, and 20 heavy stalker rocket artillery vehicles are mixed with some captured Japanese tanks, and the entire armored formation shows a hideous posture in the night, and the barrels and muzzles of guns pointing up to the sky are terrifying, which is the innate power of the armored forces.
