Chapter 190: The Battle for Reconquest Begins

There is an old saying that 'you can't forget your roots', which is what Hu Biao has always emphasized to the people around him. Including himself, those subordinates who were brought to the colony were all from poor families without exception, and had suffered too much from being exploited by others.

Now these old subordinates are in power one after another, and they have changed from being exploited to being people with exploitative power. As the commander-in-chief of the wolf army, Hu Biao must remind and warn these old subordinates that if they dare to exceed their authority, the consequences will also be extremely serious.

The so-called 'it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world', even if Hu Biao does not want to be the king and hegemon, he will seize all the power. But he knew that when his subordinates began to forget their roots and began to covet pleasure and breed corruption, the problem would be troublesome!

When fighting the world, it is a period of plundering interests, and the contradictions mainly come from the outside. When defending the world, it is a period of distribution and competition for interests, and the contradictions mainly come from within, and the fortress is always easy to destroy from within.

According to the feedback from Shuo Rat and the Wolf Army Supervision Team, there has been collusion between officials and businessmen in some control areas. If this kind of sign is not curbed and checked, then everything you have now will soon come to naught.

It is also imperative to rectify military regulations and laws and discipline. Even in front of the participants, Hu Biao asked people to report several cases investigated and dealt with by the wolf army supervision team, which involved corruption, oppression of the people, collusion between officials and businessmen, and other crimes.

After the case was reported, Hu Biao said with a solemn expression: "The people sitting here are all old people who started with me without exception. I'm a little glad that none of you have done such illegal things.

But I know that if I don't warn or warn you in time, then some of you may be dragged into the water, corrupted by money and beauty, and become the next person to be court-martialed, and what should I do then?

Yu Gong, you are the military and political leaders appointed by me, and you are responsible for the important military and political affairs of one division and one place. Yu Zhi, you are my old subordinates, all of whom have gradually grown from ordinary soldiers or ordinary people to important members of the current party.

But one thing I hope you will remember is that with great power comes great responsibility. Do not think that you will not be known about your secret wealth. When you have this thought, it is already very close to you falling into the abyss.

If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. Maybe some people will be glad that some of the things you did behind your back have not been found out for the time being. But I believe that the day you are found out is also the day when we end the comradeship, teacher-student relationship.

Even if we declare independence in the future, none of you will have a gold medal for avoiding death. All I can give you is trust and the rights and obligations you deserve. Beyond these ranges, I'm sorry, I can't give it! ”

In the face of Hu Biao's remarks, the military and political dignitaries who came to attend the meeting knew that the meeting was indeed very timely. Whether in the military or in the government, there are actually some signs of relaxation and preparation for discouragement.

While everyone was reflecting, Hu Biao continued: "No accident, in the future, we will recuperate and pass on the lineage in this piece of land. And you will also become those who hold authority and enjoy a better life than ordinary people.

But one thing I want you to remember is that before you came to power, you all tried the hardships of life and knew what it was like to be exploited by those in power. If you don't want to be the target of being defeated by others, then do your duty and do more things that benefit the people.

The situation in the southwestern colonies is complex, with many ethnic groups, and the problems left over from history are also extremely complex. The most important thing is that we are all outsiders. If we don't get the approval of the people, do you think we can stay here for a long time? ”

He gave some ideological and political education to his subordinates and decided to launch the corresponding purge action. At the same time as rectifying military discipline, Hu Biao will also send an inspection team to review the whereabouts of the civil affairs funds of various prefectures.

Hu Biao was also heavily punished for the bribery personnel found by the Shuorat Intelligence Group and the Wolf Army Supervision Team. In serious cases, their factories were even closed, and bribe-givers had to be imprisoned in labor camps and worked as coolies for more than half a year before they could be released.

In order to gain the support of these business owners, Hu Biaofa invited some well-known private business owners to explain the reason that bribery would be severely punished. After listening to Hu Biao's words, these business owners all expressed their support without exception.

In the face of these business owners, Hu Biao also said solemnly: "Everyone in the world says that there is no treachery and no business, but I believe that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way." The wealth earned by crooked ways will feel hot and uneasy when you get it in your hands.

I promised you before, as long as the profits you earn are legitimate, whoever dares to ask for benefits from you, just tell me your name, and I will give you an explanation in person. Accordingly, you cannot pay bribes to my subordinates.

If this unhealthy trend is fueled, what will the future business environment become? People's hearts are greedy, and if you send a hundred oceans today, they will dare to ask you for a thousand tomorrow. Bribery is also a destruction of fair competition! ”

After a series of conversations and rectifications, the unhealthy trend that had just risen was quickly stifled. In several of the cases investigated, some were even shot in public after a public trial. When the news broke, no one dared to have any bad intentions.

As Hu Biao said, if you feel that you can't stand this temptation, then you can ask for resignation. With the existing merits, Hu Biao will also properly settle these people and let them find a place to be a rich man with a wife and children on the hot kang.

The question is, how many people are willing to give up the power that they finally have?

Just when everyone thought that the rabbit tail of the Japanese army could not grow, the Japanese army, which had gathered nearly 400,000 troops again, began to start a new round of battle. The battlefield affected as many as three provinces, and for a time the anti-Japanese battlefield was once again full of gunsmoke.

From north to south, the Japanese army once again launched a new round of offensive, which once again caught the national army by surprise. The North China and Central China armies joined forces to launch a fierce attack on the areas controlled by the Nationalist Army, in an attempt to inflict heavy damage on the Nationalist Government in the shortest possible time.

The first target of the attack was the major airfields and important targets that began to be formed in the rear with the help of the Meminian military aid. In order to win this war, the Japanese army can also be said to have taken a desperate stance, hoping to extend the time limit for defeat.

After receiving the telegram from Bai Chongxi, Hu Biao also said directly: "From the eighth to the twelfth brigades, one squadron will be transferred to the airport built by the Gui army, and cooperate with the Gui army to block the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not be allowed to step into the southwest!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"Send a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, I plan to give them a generous gift. We can't intervene in the war between the north and the south, so let's find some trouble for the little devils on the southwest side. This Qiongzhou Island is also time to be completely recovered! ”

When Mr. Zhu received a secret telegram from Hu Biao, he quickly convened a meeting of his subordinates, and at the same time forwarded the telegram to Yan'an. Qiongdao was isolated in the southwest sea, and the Nationalist Government did not attach much importance to it, let alone launch an attack.

However, for the wolf army at this time, the strength of the navy and air force had been exposed, and the control of the entire southwest colony had greatly suppressed the strength of the Japanese navy and air force. If Hu Biao is willing to make a move, it should not be a big problem to recover Qiongdao.

In the telegram sent by Hu Biao to the Eighth Route Army, he said that he could send the navy and air force and a part of the army to cooperate with the Qiongdao column of the Eighth Route Army to recover the entire territory of Qiongdao and annihilate the little devils stationed on Qiongdao. When the war is over, the Qiongdao column will take over the whole island.

Correspondingly, Hu Biao will also contract the iron ore field that the Japanese army is currently mining, pay the corresponding contracting fees and taxes every year, and hand it over to the Qiongdao Column. And send two air brigades, temporarily stationed on the island of Qiong.

In this case, even if the Japanese army wants to recapture Qiongdao, they must first pass through Hu Biao. In this way, the Qiongdao Column could also concentrate on training troops and rebuilding after the war. As for the Nationalist Government, Hu Biao did not mention it at all in his letter.

"Boss, will there be anything wrong with having his air force stationed on the island?"

"What's wrong? If there is no air force, once the little devils retake the island, how to defend it? Besides, with the current strength of the Qiongdao column, without Mr. Hu's help, what do you think are the chances of winning Qiongdao? ”

If you only want benefits, but are reluctant to share some benefits, this kind of cooperation will naturally not last long. In fact, both the Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army have clearly realized that it is difficult for them to intervene in the southwest region.

After some discussion, Yan'an also quickly replied, agreeing to let the Qiongdao column cooperate with the wolf army to set off a campaign to recover Qiongdao. If the plan can be successful, it will also play an extremely important role in enhancing the influence of the Eighth Route Army.

After receiving a reply from the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao immediately said: "Transfer Lei Xiong back and order him to be the commander-in-chief of this battle to seize the island." The Eighth Division and the coastal units are also ready to send reinforcements at any time! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Knowing that he was the commander of the reconquest of Qiong Island, Lei Xiong was undoubtedly also excited. Correspondingly, the various units of the wolf army that received the combat order also began to mobilize rapidly. At the same time, the Qiongdao column also began to get busy.

Seeing the area that needed to be attacked, Feng Bai, the commander-in-chief of the Qiongdao Column, also felt a heavy responsibility, and looked at Ma Jiasheng, the deputy commander-in-chief beside him, and said: "Old Ma, I will leave the matter of Mr. Hu's contact to you, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem! The commander sent by Mr. Hu is Lei Xiong, and I have dealt with him a few times, so it should be no problem to communicate! ”

"When the soldiers are used, we hated less, and we thought that the expansion of the four main divisions should be worthy of a battle. Now that a division of troops knows that it is indeed more difficult to break through one by one. First of all, can General Lei be in charge of that position? ”

"Good! Later, I will send a telegram to inquire, first clearly divide the areas responsible for the attack, and strive to recover the whole island in the shortest possible time. We've been waiting for this day for so long, and today is finally here! ”

After receiving the secret telegram from the headquarters, the commanders of the Qiongdao Column were undoubtedly full of joy. For them, they have dealt with the wolf army a lot of times, and many of the weapons used in the expansion of the army come from the free donations of the wolf army.

If you work with someone else, they may be apprehensive. But with the wolf army, they are still very relieved. As for some people's worries that Hu Biao would not leave if he sent troops to the island, Ma Jiasheng and others felt that this situation would not happen at all.

If Hu Biao really wanted to capture Qiongdao Island, even if he didn't cooperate with them, he could do it with the strength of the wolf army. In contrast, without the assistance of the wolf army, even if they recover Qiong Island, they may not be able to defend it even if they recover it!
