Even though the Japanese army tried to encircle Hu Biao's headquarters that raided Fenning City, they still failed to judge the whereabouts of Hu Biao and his party. Coupled with the arrival of reinforcements from the Ninth Theater, around the Gansu-Hunan border, the entire battlefield was once again a pot of porridge.

Although the spy officers of the Japanese army's special high division are very good at camouflage, it is sometimes difficult to suffer accidents in such a war-torn place. On the other hand, Hu Biao and his entourage, who evacuated to southern Hunan as planned, still maintained a marching strategy of day and night.

In addition, before the troops are deployed, reconnaissance teams will be dispatched in advance to set up corresponding warning posts along the way. If an unknown person is found hiding in the shadows to observe the movement of the troops, the reconnaissance team members who are lurking in advance will also capture them.

In a word, it is indeed not easy to find out Hu Biao's whereabouts. What's more, Hu Biao also retained some troops around the theater to attract the attention of the main force and divert the attention of the Japanese army and various forces.

When Hu Biao and his entourage arrived in southern Hunan, according to Hu Biao's orders, the assault battalions did not provoke the little devils too much. In addition, the little devils who themselves march at night and are stationed everywhere do not dare to divide their troops to defend in this situation.

Even many times, Hu Biao and his entourage had already left the Japanese army's defense area, and the little devils stationed there did not know at all that several elite troops had passed through their defense area. If you want to chase again, how can you catch it?

Xue Yue, who originally wanted to meet Hu Biao, was also inseparable from the front-line war. When he received the news again, he had already learned that Hu Biao had entered the territory of Gui Province. Hearing this news, Xue Yue also seemed extremely surprised!

Looking at the telegram sent by the defenders, Xue Yue was also puzzled and said, "At this time, why did he run away from Gui Province?" ”

Even if Xue Yue knew that Hu Biao had a good personal relationship with the two bigwigs of the Gui family, Xue Yue knew more about Li and Bai, and had always regarded Gui Province as his backyard. Even if the national army wanted to enter, they were quite wary.

Now that Hu Biao has led his troops to enter, has he reached a secret agreement with the Gui family? Or is there some other secret that no one knows?

Regarding these conjectures, Xue Yue didn't say much, and looked at the telegram: "Reply to the local garrison, just say I know!" As for the departure of this army from Hunan Province and into the territory of Guizhou Province, we should not know what to do! ”

"Yes, General!"

As the acting commander of the Ninth War Zone, Xue Yue was also very aware of the status of Li and Bai in the army, and Shancheng had always been quite wary of the two. This kind of thing, he thinks it's better to worry less.

In the final analysis, the Ninth War Zone also reversed the defeat this time, and he must also owe Hu Biao a favor. At least in the eyes of many people outside, he was able to defeat the menacing Japanese army and hold Star City, and that was because of his effective command.

In fact, if Hu Biao hadn't stabbed those few knives behind enemy lines, no one would know what the final outcome of this battle would be. Even if the Ninth War Zone can win in the end, it will definitely pay a heavier price than it does now.

Hu Biao, who left Hunan Province and entered Gui Province, also knew that the troops were very hard during this time, so he immediately ordered the troops to rest for two days. On the Hunan and Guizhou borders, Xu Sandao also established a corresponding transit and supply depot earlier, which allowed the troops to rest and recuperate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate, Hu Biao also sent a telegram to the troops in the southwest, asking about some information about the situation in the southwest. If nothing changes in history, Hu Biao believes that the next stage of the war will officially start in Gui Province.

In response to the next surprise attack launched by the Japanese army, Hu Biao also sent a telegram to Lei Xiong and others, asking them to order the troops to start to enter a state of combat readiness. The troops deployed earlier along the coast have all retreated to the inland areas to stand by.

The three independent regiments that were reorganized in Xilong, also under Hu Biao's orders, began to secretly stationed near Longzhou to stand by. In order to prevent the Japanese army from marching straight into Xilong, Hu Biao also built fortifications near Longzhou in advance.

In addition, considering the war, there will be a large number of refugees in the war zone. In order to rescue as many people as possible, Hu Biao also asked the caravans to collect food and supplies behind the defensive line built by Hu Biao.

As Hu Biao's work in Xilong has been carried out one after another, more and more people in the southwest have begun to know that they can find a way to live near Xilong. Even several surrounding counties are now secretly controlled by Hu Biao.

Knowing that population is very important, Hu Biao also planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's attack on Gui Province to move more people to the border areas of the three provinces. When these people are stabilized, they will find a way to move them to the colony's safe settlement.

In those open up safe points, a lot of wasteland grain fields can also be opened. As long as the people are relocated, I believe that those peaceful places will gradually become lively. Waiting for others to react, it is almost impossible to drive these people away!

The reason is very simple, according to the instructions given by Hu Biao, it is located in the Anmin Point of the British and French colonies in the southwest. Those who were willing to move there were given a certain amount of grain land, and they were also encouraged to open up the land on their own.

The grain field is divided into grain fields, and only a certain amount of grain needs to be paid, so there is no need to bear other taxes. As for the reclaimed wasteland, the taxes collected are even more scarce. The field is also the thing that many people crave the most.

The relocation of people from other places will undoubtedly take too much time, manpower and material resources. If the people in the southwest are directly transferred, it is believed that it will be easier for these people to adapt to the environment of the security point and will be more likely to get the support of the people.

With enough population, factories can be opened to expand more troops. Correspondingly, the reclaimed grain fields can also provide Hu Biao with a steady stream of food. At this moment, many places in the southwestern colonies seem to be a little vast and sparsely populated.

Although these territories belong to British and French colonies at present, Hu Biao knows very well that the geographical division is very vague at this time. For some Tusi with local jurisdiction, they are more often only in charge of their own one-third of an acre.

Even if the power was given to them by the colonial government, deep down they did not trust the colonial government very much. The willingness to accept the jurisdiction of the colonial government is more due to the threat of force from the colonial government, which makes them dare not resist easily.

For the British and French powers, although they also knew the importance of the people to the colonies. But many times, they will also unceremoniously suppress the colonial people who do not obey the discipline, until everyone becomes submissive.

What Hu Biao has to do is to disguise himself as a rebel in the colony, while fighting against the troops formed by the colonial government, while constantly expanding his power and territory in the colony, and finally firmly control it in his own hands.

Whether it is the British and French colonial army or the future Japanese army, or even those Tusi armed forces, as long as they dare to infringe on Hu Biao's interests, Hu Biao will act unceremoniously. If you make some fame, there will naturally be local people involved.

In this way, Hu Biao's troops can gradually integrate into the local area and get the support of more and more poor people. After a long time, who would know that behind these resistance organizations, there is Hu Biao, the person in control?

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Qin Tianyou and others, who had already established themselves in the southwest, also knew about such a big action and were also aware that the war was coming. Many people are not afraid of the coming war, but are full of eagerness.

During this time, as some factories in Shillong were built one after another, the number of combat units under Hu Biao's command was also increasing. A large number of expanded troops are also in urgent need of actual combat experience. Simply suppressing bandits does not accumulate much actual combat experience.

Previously, it was feared that the expansion of troops would be too large, which could cause a huge burden. As a result, to Qin Tianyou and the others' surprise, every time the transport plane flew to the valley airport, a large number of war materials would be transported.

The materials arriving at the airport will also be delivered to the material warehouse that was built earlier. Looking at the warehouses that were piled up with supplies one after another, Qin Tianyou and the others also knew that their logistics supply was no problem at all.

When Hu Biao and his entourage arrived in Xilong, Zhu Chengzong, who was a county official, and Qin Tianyou, the head of the security regiment, were also waiting at the security point early. Looking at the troops that entered Shillong one after another, both of them looked extremely happy.

They all knew that these troops were transferred from the south. Compared with the current expansion of new troops, the arrival of these troops with rich combat experience can also be successively filled into new units to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Wolf head, hard work! You didn't run into any trouble on the way, did you? ”

"What trouble can there be! You know, this is our territory right now! ”

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Zhu Chengzong and Qin Tianyou were also very happy. In fact, as a large number of troops moved to the southwest, Hu Biao's control over the border areas of Gui Province was also constantly strengthened.

The mountain bandits, which were hated by many traders and the common people earlier, have almost disappeared. Even if some of the security corps are aware of the presence of bandits in the territory. But in fact, these bandits were all impersonated by Hu Biao's subordinates.

These troops, armed as bandits, never do anything to rob homes and houses. In many cases, only a few caravan vendors are charged tolls. For a certain amount of money, the bandits would also act as bodyguards to send the caravan out of the country.

How could a caravan of horses and caravans, which did not charge much tolls and was in search of wealth, not agree? On the contrary, if the security regiment stationed in the local area dares to fight the idea of bandits, it will inevitably lose its troops.

With the toll collected, these nominal bandit armies have developed rapidly. In fact, Hu Biao's letting these troops collect tolls is another form of funding, so that these troops can develop themselves.

All in all, after Xilong became lively and prosperous, some surrounding counties also made a lot of profits. Even if some people are jealous of the situation on Shillong's side, they don't dare to fight Shillong's idea.

The reason is very simple, Li and Bai both have the idea of telling their cronies and subordinates not to fight Shillong. On the contrary, it is necessary to make friends with the Shillong side and profit from it. They have tasted the truth of win-win cooperation and hope to get more.

Moreover, after Hu Biao took control of Xilong, the income of the people in some counties around Xilong has been increased to varying degrees. This is also an extremely rare thing for Gui Province, which has always been known for its poverty.

Perhaps, as Hu Biao said to Bai Chongxi, as long as they cooperate sincerely with each other, I believe that the Gui family will also gain more. As the people's lives become better, they will also support Li and Bai more and enhance their prestige in power.

Let the troops enter the secret barracks outside the city one after another to rest, Hu Biao came directly to the valley airport, instead of going to the bustling and lively Xilong City. In Hu Biao's opinion, he is still better at hiding behind the scenes, and it is better to show his face less in front of outsiders.

Entering the secret command post built on the side of the mountain, looking at the henchmen who had been waiting here for many days, Hu Biao was also very relieved: "Brothers, hard work!" In such a short period of time, I am very satisfied with the current situation! ”

"That's all the general's command, and we actually didn't do anything!"

Listening to the compliments of these subordinates, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "When will you guys learn to pat on the back?" Don't worry, I'm not praising you for being polite, but for what you're doing really well! Praise it, isn't it right? ”

When the subordinates heard this, they could only laugh. After everyone was seated, Hu Biao also said directly: "Lao Zhu, report to me about the situation in the city!" Listening to Lao Liu, the city has been a little lively recently? ”

"Definitely! As our factories were built one after another, and even the electric lights that many people in the city began to use, more and more vendors moved in. There are a lot of people, and it is inevitable to mix in some people with ulterior motives, but fortunately, we control it well! ”

The hydropower station planned to be built earlier has been officially able to generate electricity after a period of emergency repair and construction. The advent of electricity has also virtually accelerated the operation and construction of various factories. As many factories there are, so do the workers needed.

Correspondingly, the outside world is becoming more and more curious about Shillong. In addition to some spies sent by the Gui army, the military commanders and the central commanders also came to join in the fun. Among them, naturally, the attention of the Japanese army's special high school is indispensable.

Fortunately, from the early days of the city's founding, Hu Biao confessed to Zhu Chengzong and cooperated with the intelligence team to strengthen intelligence monitoring. Those who infiltrated the city in an attempt to find out information and establish intelligence points were secretly controlled or eliminated by BFI.

As for the military camps built outside the city and set up as military restricted areas, they have also become the focus of spying by various forces. It's a pity that if you want to sneak into the demarcated military restricted area, you often have no return. After a long time, the forces of all parties did not dare to spy easily.

"The work of preventing leakage must be grasped as always. At present, the momentum of our development is good, so we must not be ruined. Golden eagle, how many trusted pilots do you have now? ”

"Report the wolf's head! Those who can take to the air to fight can probably pick out the pilots of two squadrons. There are already more than 300 people who can control the fighter planes into the air. In order to avoid exposure, the pilot's actual plane will not have enough time! ”

"It doesn't matter! On the Anmin side, I have ordered the construction of a second secret airfield. When the time comes, transfer a group of fighters and pilots over there. After arriving over there, the corresponding real flight and formation training can also be strengthened! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Although he didn't want to completely control air supremacy, Hu Biao still hoped that the Eagle Strike team under his command could grow up as soon as possible. With the successive shipments of fighter planes, the pilots under Hu Biao also have more real opportunities.

It's useless to simply be able to fly an airplane, and you need to master certain aerial combat skills. Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil Zero has not yet been equipped with a large number of troops, Hu Biao hopes that the Eagle Strike Team can seize this rare opportunity to accumulate more experience in air combat.

When the Japanese Zero fighters are equipped with troops, and their own Eagle Strike Squad encounters the Japanese air force, they will not be unable to fight back. If he can occasionally regain a little air supremacy, it will also play an important role in the subsequent expansion of Hu Biao's colonial security points!
