As Haiphong City was reduced to ruins in a series of explosions, the Japanese army, who had taken over Haiphong City not long ago, planted a blue nose and swollen face in this port city. A large number of landing troops were killed, and much of the material collected was also destroyed.

Such a result also meant that the Japanese army's offensive plan for a period of time had to be interrupted. Even if the Japanese army shouted that it would definitely retaliate, but in the face of the colonial army that had withdrawn into the jungle area, the Japanese army really did not have a good way.

What made the Japanese army even more troublesome was the colonial army that controlled Indochina, which had already strengthened the control of the movement of people within the country. Even if there were well-hidden spies lurking, it was difficult to send information from the rear of the colony.

Most of the redispatched spies have gone but never returned. This situation undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the Japanese army to capture Indochina. The most troublesome thing for the Japanese army was the dispatch of reconnaissance planes, which were often ambushed.

As a matter of fact, in order to prevent the Japanese army from going deep into the hinterland to carry out aerial reconnaissance, in addition to deploying a large number of air defense weapons, Hu Biao also began to order two air force groups deployed in place to start air patrols and ambush Japanese reconnaissance planes.

In order to effectively ensure the safety of the rear settlements, mines and factories, Hu Biao purchased the most advanced radar technology from abroad through the channels of Brooke and the umbrella company and deployed it in the high mountains of Indochina.

Through the combination of man-machine and early warning air defense, the safety of important areas in the rear is ensured. Once a small number of enemy planes are detected, the air force group closest to the enemy planes will take to the air and shoot down the enemy planes in a two-plane formation.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of his fighters and pilots, Hu Biao mostly adopted the method of two-plane formation to attack. In the crew, there must be a pilot with actual combat experience, with a rookie pilot, and the new and old cooperate with the air operation.

If the little devils sent a large group of planes to fight, Hu Biao would give early warning and let the settlements, factories and mines enter the air defense facilities. In that case, even if some houses were blown up by the Japanese army, it would be effective in avoiding heavy casualties.

In short, after several retaliatory bombings, the Japanese found that the bombing effect did not seem to be very satisfactory. On the wolf side, through the method of man-machine joint defense and early warning, they also repeatedly shot down Japanese reconnaissance planes to further temper the battered air force combat units.

The rapid rise of the wolf army in Indochina caused vigilance among the colonial government. But everyone knows that these Chinese who began to settle in Indochina are the backbone of whether they can hold Indochina.

If the colonial army acted against the wolf army at this time, it would only benefit the Japanese army. What's more, the high-ranking officials stationed in the colony knew that the current situation no longer allowed them to make enemies, and they should take a closer step to win over the combat troops under the command of the wolf army.

From the beginning to the end, the Wolf Army did not make any excessive demands on the colonial government. Even though Zhenning Province is now fully autonomous, it still pays a certain amount of taxes every month. This approach was quite satisfactory to the officials of Faransi.

In addition, there are people from the Nuvik and Brooke families who are involved in it, and the high-ranking officials of the two countries who enjoy colonial interests actually benefit a lot from it. In particular, the merchants of the two countries who did business in the colonies were very supportive of the trade of the wolf army.

Although the Germans had not yet reached the English border, many English officials in the colonies knew that as the war continued, domestic attention would be shifted to dealing with the German invasion. And in the Far East, there is no time for domestic care.

It's rare to have these elite troops recruited by Nuvik, who can have a group of free defense forces as long as they give some benefits. Considering the overall situation, these colonial officials felt that giving a certain amount of support would still have more advantages than disadvantages.

With the local forces in the colony, they rebelled at every turn, and the wolf army paid more attention to construction. In the eyes of many high-ranking colonial officials, they would love to see a colony with thriving commerce and growing tax revenues.

But they didn't know that this was just Hu Biao's delaying tactic. Give these colonial governments some sweetness first, and when the time comes, Hu Biao has a way to force them to make concessions. Now dormant, just for the sake of rapid development!

The Japanese army, which had planted two big heels in Haiphong City, was still very unwilling in the end, and soon transferred two divisions of elite troops from the rear and began to rely on the forward position of Haiphong City to prepare for an attack on the Indochina colony.

After the war began, the results left the forces dumbfounded again. The reason was that under the surprise attack of two divisions of the Japanese army, the colonial army in Indochina seemed to quickly fall into a situation of defeat and retreat, which made the Japanese army extremely happy.

Just when Louis was extremely nervous, Nuvic, who had already moved to Dagon, was quickly invited by him. In addition to Louis, the English governor of Dagon was also there. They were also worried that Indochina would be occupied by the Japanese army.

After listening to the opinions of the two governors, Nuvic feigned a headache and said, "Mr. two governors, I understand your worries. For me, I don't want to see that. But at the moment, my strength is extremely limited.

As you should know, the Fuso people dispatched two elite divisions this time, with a total strength of nearly 60,000 troops. Coupled with the fact that they also have the air force to help them fight, it is difficult for the few people I hired to resist their attacks. Moreover, the casualties are too big for me to bear! ”

Through the method of resistance, constantly luring the Japanese army into the depths and lengthening the supply lines of the Japanese army, it was Hu Biao's battle plan in itself. But for the colonial governments of the two countries, they felt that the Japanese army would soon be killed in the city.

Nuvik, who knew this, also took advantage of this to vent his bitterness. However, in the eyes of the two governors, it was indeed unreasonable to ask Nuvik to unconditionally help them resist the invasion of the Japanese army. In any case, Novik was also a war broker.

For those troops hired and trained, Nuvik also needs to pay the corresponding military expenses. There was a large number of losses in the army, and Nuvik was still paying the corresponding pensions. It is naturally impossible to expect Nuvik to break the bank and do things.

At the end of the discussion, the English governor in Dagon also said directly: "Mr. Vic, if we provide money and weapons, will you be able to recruit more troops?" I mean, irregulars! ”

"Mr. Governor, you should know that the other side has dozens of times more people than we do. As long as I have enough money and weapons, I can recruit enough soldiers with actual combat experience. You know, a lot of the soldiers over there are very poor! ”

“OK！ As for the mercenary money and weapons, I will consult with Governor Louis and give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible. And I also hope that you can start the corresponding recruitment plan as soon as possible, and you can't let the Fuso army continue to go deeper! ”

"No problem! As long as I have enough money, weapons and ammunition, I know a few very powerful generals over there, and I should be able to recruit at least 10,000 elite troops in a short period of time. And I promise, I don't have anything to do with it! ”

With Nuvik's reply, both governors were satisfied. Even if they need to pay for the corresponding funds and weapons, for the colonial governments of the two countries, they are not short of money at the moment, but what they lack is soldiers who can fight desperately against the Japanese army.

At this stage, the colonial governments seemed so worried about attracting regular troops under the command of the Nationalist Government that they preferred to pay Nuvik commissions rather than give the Nationalist Government the opportunity to send troops into the colonies.

But Hu Biao knew very well that by next year, the Japanese army would enter an extremely crazy war stage. Both Menia and England will be targeted. That's when these colonial powers think of asking for help.

It's just that in this life, even if he can't stop the expeditionary force from going out to fight, Hu Biao will try his best to keep the safety of these troops who enter the colony to fight. When the war is over, perhaps many of them will choose to stay.

As the colonial government had expected, after the first commission was paid, a force in civilian clothing soon appeared on the border between Indochina and the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. Although it was only the size of a regiment, the colonial government was still happy.

The two governors, who had been authorized by the government, even said with great satisfaction: "Although the White Bear Vicky is a little greedy, he has great energy. Let them arm these troops as soon as possible, and they cannot let the Fuso army continue to advance. ”

"Okay, I'll send a report to Vicky later!"

At this time, Vicky had quietly arrived at Zhenning Mansion. Seeing the telegram sent by Louis, Nuvic also said with admiration: "Wolf head, you guessed it again, they paid a second commission and weapons, and hope that I will recruit the second batch of troops!" ”

"Take the money to do things! Let's talk! Send a telegram to the Funing side, and let the third division and the second regiment start to enter! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

This unit, which is fully equipped with British-made weapons, is the third division of the Wolf Army, which Hu Biao expanded this year. The commander of the Third Division was not Hu Biao's descendant, but Xu Mingzhi, who served as the chief of staff of the First Division, and this appointment really surprised many people.

But for Xu Mingzhi and other officers who joined later, they finally saw hope. As the new commander of the Third Division, Xu Mingzhi also knows very well that this is Hu Biao's trust in him, but it is more of a test.

Through the agreement reached between Nuvich and the colonial government, Hu Biao was able to form a division of combat troops in the open. The two divisions that had been stationed in the colony earlier were able to continue to hide in a low-key manner, so that they could catch the enemy by surprise at any time.

The Japanese army, which has been intensifying its intelligence gathering recently, also quickly received information that a large number of elite armed men had entered Indochina. To the surprise of the Japanese army, these elite armed men were not from the regular army of the Nationalist Government.

Hearing the news, the Japanese army was also puzzled and said: "Baga! Where did so many armed men come from? ”

"According to our spies in Dagon, it appears that these armed men were hired. A large part of them are rich in practical experience. If there are no accidents, they should be retired from the regular army of China. ”

"Yaga! At this time, will the Chinese army casually let people retire? Does this matter have anything to do with Yamashiro? ”

"No information has been received!"

The addition of nearly 10,000 armed personnel with rich combat experience will undoubtedly add more variables to the Japanese army's attack on Indochina. But no matter where these armed men came from, it was not good news for the Japanese army. I'm afraid this battle will be fought!
