After some discussion and negotiation, Hu Biao finally agreed to Menia's invitation to send troops. It's just that the way of sending troops is a little different from what Menia expected. That is, the Southwestern Independent Army does not send troops and fights side by side with Menia.

Considering that the Meniah Army was somewhat difficult to fight in the face of the Japanese army, Hu Biao transferred a team of instructors from the Special Operations Brigade to guide the Meniah Army in fighting against the Japanese army. On the other hand, the Menia side also needs to pay corresponding remuneration and cooperate.

Secondly, in order to contain the Japanese combat troops, Hu Biao began to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese colony based on Qiongdao. The Sea Hawk Fleet and the Eagle Strike Air Brigade under his command will also join the combat sequence to contain more Japanese combat units.

After several rounds of consultations and meetings, and watching the combat drills of the instructor team, the army representative of Menia also said with admiration: "Hu, your subordinates are very brave and their combat skills are also very strong, we should have invited you a long time ago!" ”

"You're welcome! In fact, I also admire it, even if you pay such a heavy price, you should not retreat. Those officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country deserve to be remembered by all the people of Menia and those who love peace! ”

Polite words don't cost money, and Hu Biao doesn't mind saying a few more words. In fact, through this cooperation, Hu Biao also took this opportunity to purchase a batch of previously controlled equipment from Meinia, including large transport aircraft and bombers.

As for fighter jets, Hu Biao has no interest in purchasing. The reason is simple, the engine research aircraft has developed a powerful jet aero engine. New jet fighter, which is secretly undergoing flight tests.

Limited cooperation, can try to maintain the status quo without turning the other cheek, this is Hu Biao's attitude towards Menia. Adopting different forms of cooperation is also conducive to splitting the Allied forces and gaining more benefits for themselves.

When the instructor team was taken away, Hu Biao came to the garrison of the Third Division, looked at the officers and soldiers who were ready to go, and said: "This expedition is to regain the lost territory." Even if we don't belong to any side, we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and it is natural for us to fight for the country.

As your commander-in-chief, I don't want to send you on a campaign, because there will always be deaths in battle. But as a soldier, fighting on the battlefield is also fate and responsibility. If you die in battle, I will welcome your souls back to your homeland. If it is triumphant, I will hold a banquet to celebrate! ”

"Fight! War! War! ”

After the combat mobilization was completed, looking at the commander who was about to go out, Hu Biao was also very reluctant to say: "Old regiment leader, cherish!" ”

"Commander-in-chief, it's serious! It is my life's wish to go to the country. It is an honor for our generation of soldiers to have this opportunity! ”

knows that Hu Biao really values himself, but Xie Jinyuan's greatest wish is to be able to kill the enemy and serve the country. It is safe to stay in the southwest colony, but he still yearns for the battlefield, longs to tear apart, and hopes to be loyal to the country!

Seeing off Xie Jinyuan's headquarters, who was about to leave on a troop carrier, Hu Biao, who returned to the command headquarters, immediately said: "Send a report to the Eagle Strike Air Force, urge the destruction of the Japanese airfields and ports along the coast, and clear the obstacles for the Third Division to go out!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"Order the Seawolf Commando to tightly seal the combat area, and once the Japanese warship is discovered, it can attack on its own without asking for instructions!"

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"Send another telegram to the Eighth Route Army, informing us that our department has set off, and I hope it will do a good job in reception. After the regain of the lost territory, it is hoped that it can quickly transfer military and political cadres to take over the recovered lost land and ensure the stability of the people's livelihood in the recovered area! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

After several telegrams were sent, the first to strike were the Eagle Strike Air Force and the Menia Air Force. The two air groups worked together and began to carry out surprise bombing of Japanese airfields along the coast. A large-scale air battle also began.

In the Battle of Yuxianggui that had just ended earlier, the Japanese army also inflicted heavy losses on the combined air force of the Nationalist Army and Menia. At present, the battle is still between North China and Central China, and fierce battles are being fought around the southern Hunan region.

No one expected that the wolf army, which had just cooperated with the Qiongdao column to recover Qiongdao, would attack again. The area of the raid was still the coastal zone where the Japanese army was most empty. For a time, the base camp of the Japanese army was also in turmoil!

"Na? The Independence Army, in conjunction with the Menia Air Force, bombed our airfields and ports? ”

"Yes, General! Due to the suddenness of the incident, the airfields set up by our army in the coastal areas were seriously destroyed. Several warships anchored in the harbor were also sunk. The ministries are worried that the Independence Army may carry out landing operations at any time! ”

"Yaga! Damn the Independence Army, it's them again! If I knew that this would happen, I should have gathered heavy troops in the first place and completely strangled it. Ordered all units to make preparations for prevention and dispatch fighter formations to support. ”

To the surprise of the commander of the front army, the staff officer in charge of reporting shook his head bitterly and said: "General, if the inland air force is transferred to support, then our troops fighting on the front line will not receive any air support.

Secondly, most of the fighters we have arranged in the interior are old-fashioned fighters, which have an advantage against the Chinese army. But when you run into the combined air force of the Independent Army and Menia, you are afraid that you will have no advantage. At this time, the only way to ask for reinforcements is to ask for reinforcements from home! ”

It is almost impossible to get support from Fuso mainland. At present, the Menia Navy and Air Force are pressing forward step by step, and the Japanese warships and fighters are all being transferred to the Pacific Theater to fight against the Meniah army.

Without exception, the newly produced fighters were given priority to the troops in the Pacific Theater. As for the air force in the anti-Japanese battlefield, it is difficult to get new fighters. And the Japanese army also felt that the anti-Japanese forces did not have an air force at all.

Lao Jiang, who was far away in the mountain city, received the information from the military commander, and said with great emotion: "I really didn't expect that kid to grow to such a point in just a few years. Looks like we're in trouble in the future! ”

"I don't think I need to worry too much about this. At least I know that General Flying Fox is still patriotic. This time, they joined forces with the Menia Air Force to attack the Japanese troops on the southeast coast, which can also relieve our pressure! ”

"Yunong, haven't you seen it clearly yet? That kid is standing on the side of Yan'an, and the Eighth Route Army has developed extremely rapidly recently. Its combat units in the northeast have now expanded to 200,000, and their control areas are spread throughout the three eastern provinces.

In addition, other combat units of the Eighth Route Army also began to seize strategic points in the north. Once the Japanese army is defeated, the Eighth Route Army will inevitably be able to control the entire north in the shortest possible time. And what about us? How much land do you own now? ”

Fear of comparison in everything!

With the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army, Lao Jiang also felt great pressure. He knew very well that some things would eventually have to be settled. Once he loses the ruling power, then he and the Nationalist Government will be in danger.

For Lao Jiang's worries, Dai Li didn't know how to comfort him. At the end of the day, there are some problems that many people know about, but they still can't be solved. The previous expeditionary army ate empty salaries, but in the end, wasn't it also thunder and rain?

Chen Boxiu, who was supposed to be punished, was only charged with an unknown person in the end. The real unlucky ones may just be the guys who were pushed out to be substitutes for the dead. And the real beneficiaries are still at large and raise a glass to celebrate.

Regarding these worries, Hu Biao naturally does not know and does not want to know. He only knew that as long as he took control of the coastal islands before the defeat of the Japanese army. Then when the war ends in the future, Lao Jiang can't admit defeat if he wants to.

After three days of large-scale bombardment, the Independence Army, which had assembled a large number of transport ships, finally dropped the Third Division under the command of Xie Jinyuan to the outer islands near Xiangdao. The guerrilla column, which had been waiting for a long time, also seemed extremely excited.

Looking at the troops coming down from the transport ships one after another, the guerrilla column of the Eighth Route Army formed near Xiangdao, they also knew that the day they were most looking forward to was coming soon. After recovering Xiangdao, they will be able to exercise control over it.

"Master Xie, it's been hard all the way! I've finally looked forward to you! ”

"Captain Zeng, if you want to say that it is hard or your hard work, it is really not easy to persist until now!"

"It should be! That's what we should do! ”

After the two sides exchanged polite words, Xie Jinyuan also immediately asked: "Little devil on the island, how are you doing lately?" ”

"What else! Your bombing during this period of time has already scared the little devils. This little devil, it is estimated that people are also panicking, and they began to build fortifications outside the city, perhaps they are also worried about your arrival! ”

"Without further ado! Later, I asked Captain Zeng to find a guide and send my reconnaissance troops in. Wait for our troops to rest all night, and tomorrow we will officially launch an attack. The longer it drags on, the trickier it becomes. ”

"Okay! If you need our cooperation, please feel free to say it! ”

"Good! Then you're welcome, I need your cooperation in the next offensive operation. To avoid innocent civilian casualties, I need you to mobilize the masses to escape the fighting. How about going out of the house when the battle is over? ”

"That's no problem! We don't have a lot of troops, but we want to be part of the battle! ”

"Yes! Before coming, our commander-in-chief explained that he would hand over 1,000 rifles of the little devils, as well as a batch of light and heavy machine guns and mortars. I hope that this batch of weapons can improve your combat effectiveness. When the battle is over, the capture will also be divided among you! ”

"Thank you! With these weapons and ammunition, our guerrillas have finally changed their shotguns! ”

It is clear that the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines in various parts of the southeast at this time are extremely normal for them to lack guns and ammunition. In addition to guarding against the Japanese army, they also had to guard against the suppression of the armed forces behind enemy lines, and it was extremely difficult for them to survive and develop.

Even so, the guerrillas, who penetrated deep into the masses and remote mountain villages, still pulled up a large number of anti-Japanese troops. Now with these weapons, many guerrillas can be quickly armed and form regular main combat units.

After the transfer of supplies was completed, the officers and men of the Third Division, who were directly looking for an open space on the island to set up tents and rest, also knew that they were about to go to the battlefield tomorrow. Raise your spirits, and you can annihilate the little devil tomorrow!

At this time, on the sea not far from the port of Xiangdao, several warships of the Sea Eagle fleet had also been assembled. Tomorrow, these warships will seize the Japanese port and cover the landing of the Third Division on the beach.

As for the most elite reconnaissance regiment under the command of the Third Division, it had also landed on Xiangdao overnight to carry out pre-war reconnaissance. When the battle starts, they will also directly take the Japanese headquarters on the island and destroy the fighting spirit of the Japanese army on the island as quickly as possible!
