According to the information gathered by the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group, Hu Biao, who led the guard regiment to Angkor Province secretly, already knew that the Japanese army had once again sent additional troops to the British colonial army. Two of the main battle divisions were drawn from the Kwantung Army.

Secondly, there is also a division regiment of the first type, which is drawn from the southern battlefield in China. In addition to these three main battle divisions, the Japanese army even recruited two subsidiary divisions from the two colonies of Silla and Wonju.

With the fleet and combat planes dispatched by the navy, the Japanese army that attacked again this time can also be described as murderous. The expeditionary forces and the Allied generals who received the relevant information all looked worried and felt a huge pressure.

In the face of the inquiry telegram sent by Steve and Wei Junru, Hu Biao, who was stationed in Angkor Mansion, still said very calmly: "Before the little devil came ashore, some of our generals began to retreat, this kind of fear of war is not advisable!" ”

Listening to Hu Biao's complaints, Chen Qiang, the commander of the Eighth Division, who was in the happiest mood recently, said with a smile: "Wolf head, not everyone can ignore the little devil like you. Anyway, the little devil sent five divisions this time, and the total strength was more than the expeditionary army! ”

"Does the more people win the game? If that were the case, we wouldn't be fighting so hard. In my opinion, what really needs to be vigilant in this operation is the three divisions that the Japanese army transferred from the Kwantung Army and the Southern Theater.

As for the remaining two subsidiary divisions, even if they serve as rear alert units, their combat effectiveness is extremely limited. And I don't think it's possible for the Japanese army to put all its troops into the British colonies, and it will definitely divide the troops. ”

"Then do you think the little devil will send more troops there?"

"Can't guess! However, there are rats that have been staring, and sooner or later they will know. How to fight the little devils, we don't have to pay too much attention to them, they beat theirs, we beat ours, let's clean up the little devils near Angkor Mansion first! ”

"Yes, wolfhead! Do you want to raise the banner of an independent division? ”

"No need! For us, any of the main divisions under our command that is located in the front-line theater can pretend to be an independent division. Now under the banner of an independent division, isn't it obvious that you are uncomfortable? This kind of limelight is not out of it! ”

"Yes! Then I got it! ”

"By the way, is General Peake's troops coming?"

"Come here! Wolf head, what are you doing with these foreign devils? ”

"Put on a good show, and let General Peake be in the limelight! The order was passed down, and all the combat units of the Eighth Division changed out of their military uniforms and changed into our camouflage combat uniforms. Remember, half camouflage and half people's costumes! ”

"Yes! What does the wolf head mean, let's continue to pose as mercenaries? ”

"That's right! Didn't anyone think that Lieutenant General Peake was holding his troops and that the British colonial army felt that they had paid for it, but the hired troops could not help them? Then this time, it's time for us mercenaries to move. ”

"Got it! Those foreign devils are just pulled to the battlefield to show those who have a heart, right? ”

"Clever! It seems that you have really grown a lot in this period of experience. This battle is fought well, maybe the next time the division expands the army, you are also qualified to become a first-term army commander. The future army commander will be in charge of a war zone alone! ”

"The commander of the war zone?"

"That's right! To be precise, it should be a military district. With the continuous expansion of the territory under our control, in order to integrate the combat effectiveness of all divisions and achieve unified command and unified commissioning, we will set up a large military region and appoint several army commanders around the end of the year.

Compared to Lao Qin, although your ability is still poor, I know that you have been studying hard. As long as you are willing to work hard and have convincing military achievements, when the time comes, you will be appointed as the commander of a military region, and no one else will be able to say anything! ”

"Thank you, Wolfhead! Hadron will not let you down! ”

As the commander in charge of the Malingshan base earlier, Chen Qiang was appointed commander of the 8th Division after he was transferred back to the southwest. After entering Angkor Province, Hu Biao gave him the right to form three new regiments, allowing him to grow rapidly in Angkor Province.

He has the experience of managing the Malingshan base, and has the full trust and material support given by Hu Biao. The tentacles of the Eighth Division have actually spread beyond Angkor. The three new regiments formed have all experienced the baptism of actual combat.

Hu Biao, who came over this time, gave the recruit unit under the command of the Eighth Division, a new name for the Ninth Division. This also means that the troops that Chen Qiang can actually command have reached nearly two main divisions, and this trust can be imagined.

Of the eight people brought out from Shanghai that year, except for Huang Erzhu, who died in the defense of Jinling, the remaining seven were in important positions. For the seven people, if they were not lucky enough to follow Hu Biao, they were afraid that they would have died long ago or would continue to be imprisoned in the lonely army camp.

Now the remaining seven people, except for Tian Tiezhu, who stayed in Menia to be in charge of North American intelligence affairs, the remaining six are all in China. Sun Erxi, who was in charge of intelligence affairs in Shanghai earlier, has been appointed commander-in-chief of operations in the south.

In general, Chen Qiang is in an important position, maintaining Hu Biao's rule over the wolf army. Correspondingly, because they have won Hu Biao's trust, everyone is very different from before, and the whole family has moved to live in the southwest.

In addition to Sun Erxi, even Tian Tiezhu has formed a family in Menia, and they all have their own children to continue the bloodline. Each of them knew that from an ordinary soldier to the commander of an army in charge of a division, they were all trusted by Hu Biao.

The rest of the appointed divisional commanders are even the backbone of Hu Biao's trust. But if you really want to talk about who is closer, I believe more people know that the eight people who followed Hu Biao back then were Hu Biao's real hardcore cronies, and no one could compare with them.

To be precise, many of the officers who are now serving as division-level commanders were rescued by Hu Biao back then. It can be said that in addition to Hu Biao's kindness to them for promotion and reuse, there is also a life-saving grace that they must remember forever.

After receiving a telegram from Hu Biao, Lieutenant General Pique, who had become the supreme commander of the French colonies, although he did not know what Hu Biao's intentions were, he still simply selected the officer corps and arrived at Angkor House under the protection of the White Bear commando.

At the station of the Eighth Division, looking at Hu Biao who was waiting in the lobby, Lieutenant General Peake was very surprised: "General Hu, why are you here?" At this time, shouldn't you lead the independent division to prepare for battle on the side of Renqiang City? ”

"I'm free, I'm there, and the independent division is there. General Peake, long time no see, it's been good lately! ”

"It's fine! Thanks to the general's care, we, the officers who stayed behind, are living very well at present! ”

"That's good! As far as I know, Lieutenant General Dennis and their generals in India seem to have a big opinion about you? I'm here this time to give you a chance to prove yourself, dare you try? ”

"Please speak up to the general!"

"Good!"

Led Pique to the combat command room next to him, Hu Biao pointed to the miniature sand table he made and said: "I believe that General Pique is no stranger to the places represented by these red flags. In order to strengthen cooperation with the National Government, I have recovered all these bordering areas.

I know there must be people within you who have an opinion. But you should know that with your current strength, let alone holding this colony, it will be difficult to ensure your own safety. The general doesn't deny this, right? ”

"Definitely! Rest assured, the officers who have an opinion on this, I have appeased them, they dare not talk nonsense! ”

"Rest assured, General Peake, Vic told me that you are a trustworthy friend. At this point, I believe the general should also understand that you can't keep this colony. But as a soldier, a general also needs to defend his honor.

Some people think that you are not doing the right thing and that you have not been able to contribute to the Allies. Then this time, I will give the general a chance, you only need to stay with me in the rear command post, send the corresponding officer supervision group, and prove your strength to the allies.

Many of the towns around Angkor were occupied by the Fuso army. This time, I personally led the troops here, intending to annihilate or drive away the Fuso troops stationed here, recover the lost territory occupied by them, and divert the attention of the Japanese army.

As long as this battle plan is successful, the general will be able to apply to the Allies for more military spending and rights. The government-in-exile to which you are loyal will also have more say in the Allies, and you will still be seen as a hero of Francis! ”

From Hu Biao's words, Lieutenant General Pique naturally understood the meaning, that is, while Hu Biao was looking for a place for him, he also continued to annex the colony that originally belonged to France. Lieutenant General Copique knew in his heart that he had no choice.

Therefore, he also said very simply: "General Hu, how do you need me to cooperate, you can just command!" ”

"Good! Later, I need to trouble you, and I will explain to the officer corps who brought me. Wait for my combat troops to recover the towns occupied by the Fusos. Your officers need to come forward and announce to the people that you have retaken the lost territory.

When the time comes, I will arrange for the appropriate reporters to publish your deeds. Although it is inevitable that you will be hated by the Fuso people, you can rest assured. As long as you stay with my troops, the Fuso people won't be able to hurt you at all.

As long as our side restrains a part of the Fuso troops, I believe that Dennis and the British side will not dare to criticize you for not doing anything. If they ask you to continue the war, then you will ask the Allies for more money.

If you want to recruit mercenaries to sell your life, you naturally need to spend more money. Of course, I will also take 10% of the military expenses you ask the Allies for your hard work. How to distribute, I don't ask! ”

It seems that ninety percent of the military spending was taken by Hu Biao, but Lieutenant General Pike knows better how big the amount of one percent is. Every time I cooperate with Hu Biao and others, in addition to reaping huge honors, I can also receive a high amount of wealth, which makes people unable to refuse.

After negotiating cooperation, Lieutenant General Peake also conveyed the corresponding orders to the officers he brought. Knowing that they didn't have to go to the front line in person, they only needed to show their faces after the battle and do some publicity, these officers naturally would not refuse this opportunity to become famous.

What's more, the subsidy promised by Lieutenant General Peake also made the eyes of these officers shine. A good thing for fame and fortune. How could these officers, who felt abandoned in the colonies, refuse?
