Chapter 193: You Can't Listen to It!

After receiving the good news from Lei Xiong and Xu Sandao, Hu Biao, who was sitting in the colonial-controlled area, did not feel any good surprises. With so many troops, plus the Qiongdao Column, which is not weak, it is only a matter of time before the entire territory of Qiongdao is recovered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Biao immediately instructed the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group to send personnel to persuade the Japanese troops stationed on the island to surrender. Secondly, the Japanese army established a factory on Qiong Island, and Hu Biao also planned to seize all of them.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from deliberately destroying these factories and mines before they died, Hu Biao also asked the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group to spread the news. Those Fuso expatriates or workers who had no way to escape would be severely punished if they dared to help the Japanese army.

If they can cooperate with the Independence Army to accept these factories and mines, the Independence Army will also provide them with appropriate protection to ensure their personal safety. As for the so-called property security, it is naturally no longer protected, and it needs to be fully confiscated.

With the start of the Battle of Qiongdao, the Nationalist Government, which was making every effort to deal with the Japanese army's multi-front war, was also extremely helpless about it. In their opinion, Qiongdao should be under the jurisdiction of the Nationalist Government, how can it be handed over to the management of the Qiongdao Column?

But everyone knows that they don't have to say anything about it, and they haven't invested any combat troops. You don't have to think about picking peaches. Even the neighboring Katsura family would not interfere in this kind of thing.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, nominally the Qiongdao column of the Eighth Route Army regained Qiongdao, but in fact it was the independent army that helped behind it. If you make trouble with the Qiongdao Column, isn't that equivalent to trouble with Hu Biao of the Southwest Independent Army?

Everyone knows that the current situation in China has changed a lot. Shancheng and Yan'an have held many meetings, but no agreement has been reached. This also means that the situation of the joint war of resistance has actually broken down.

Capable personnel began to enter the battlefield behind enemy lines in the southeastern provinces, and the Eighth Route Army also began to make long-term arrangements. The most surprising thing for all parties is that the development of the Eighth Route Army in the north has completely been freed from the constraints of the Nationalist Government.

Nominally, Shancheng still dominated the domestic anti-Japanese war situation, but the Nationalist government was completely unable to intervene in the anti-Japanese war situation in the north. On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, in an extremely complex situation, still maintained extremely rapid development.

In Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hebei and the northeast, a large number of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army appeared. Two years ago, when the Battle of the Hundred Regiments began, the Eighth Route Army, which shocked all sides, has undoubtedly made greater progress in strength after two years of development.

The most surprising thing for Shancheng was that the main force of the Eighth Route Army successfully advanced into the northeast and developed smoothly under the siege of the Kwantung Army. The spark has become a prairie fire, and it is natural to be able to fight against the mountain city.

In this large-scale battle set off by the Japanese army, the main battlefield in North China was more aimed at the Eighth Route Army, and the main battlefield in the south was against the anti-Japanese forces of the National Army. What is surprising is that the North China battlefield has become a stalemate.

On the other hand, on the main battlefield in the south, the defensive forces of the national army continued to retreat. The only area where the Japanese army could not return was the area defended by the Gui army. The Japanese forces that entered Gui Province were still unable to break through the defensive line set by the Gui army.

When the Eighth Route Army officially announced to the whole country that the Qiongdao Column under its command had recovered the entire territory of Qiongdao, many people felt that the direction of the domestic wind seemed to be changing. Who will be in charge of the ups and downs in the future, maybe it really doesn't know!

In addition to paying attention to the situation on the domestic battlefield, Hu Biao focused more on the Indian colony. In the face of the main force of the expeditionary army that went abroad to fight, the Japanese army and the Indian resistance army also fought extremely tenacious, while the British colonial army still seemed to be unable to support the wall.

Qin Tianyou, who was originally the main attacker, gave up the battlefield after the main force of the expeditionary army arrived. As a result, it was obvious that the temporarily organized expeditionary army also lost more than won in the face of the Japanese army and the Indian rebels.

Many of the generals in charge of the command were extremely angry when they saw the British colonial army overstepping their command. As the casualties of the troops increased, the morale of the expeditionary troops continued to decline. There are also cases of failure to work.

Regarding this situation, as the new commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army, he also said helplessly: "How did things become like this? Why don't you contact the First Army and let them take over the battle for us, and take our main forces down to rest? ”

"Commander-in-chief, I'm afraid this thing will not be easy to do! The First Army is not under our jurisdiction at all, and if you want to move them, you must get the consent of those in the southwest. In addition, the Allies must agree! It's not easy to do! ”

Already knowing that Hu Biao had annexed his colonies in the southwest, the English side was naturally extremely dissatisfied. But in the current situation, even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not complain about anything. There is no way, Hu Biao's strength should not be underestimated.

really wants to provoke Hu Biao, even if he doesn't stand on the front line with the Japanese army and add a little chaos to England, it is enough for them to drink a pot. It was hoped that the expeditionary force would be able to solve the Japanese invasion of the Indian colony for them, as well as the rebels that broke out in various places.

But in retrospect, that expectation seems a bit too high. Like the lone Japanese army stationed in India, it was extremely tenacious. In addition to the attack of the conscription army, the war continued to expand to the entire territory of the Indian colony, making the British colonial army extremely passive.

From the initial resolute repression, to the current negotiation to meet the demands of some resistance forces, the British colonial army also knew that if this continued like this, this most important colony for them might not be able to be saved.

On the other hand, the First Independent Army, which had been relegated to the second line, combined with the Tribal Independence Army, which had previously been controlled by the British colonial army, began to stabilize the areas where the tribes were located. For the British colonial army, it was completely out of control.

The continuous construction of highways has also brought more and more outsiders and materials. The successive formation of military governments also began to take charge of the management of the tribal areas. The local people seem to be very welcoming to the new managers.

Correspondingly, the local recruitment of urban defense troops and engineer units was also greatly welcomed. Seeing that the days are getting better day by day, and the previous days of being exploited by others have passed, the local people naturally feel that this kind of life is the best now.

After receiving the telegram from Qin Tianyou, and learning that the casualties of the expeditionary army were not small, and the morale of the army was fluctuating, Hu Biao, who had been silent for a long time, sighed and said: "Send a medical rescue team to accept the treatment of the wounded of the expeditionary army, and save the lives of the wounded soldiers as much as possible!" ”

"Wolf Head, will the expeditionary side agree?"

"Humph! Do they dare to disagree? What kind of bullshit is this fighting, why do our troops have to obey the command of foreign devils? That commander-in-chief has never been to the front line, has he? Staying in the rear command every day, how to command the troops? ”

Although he was angry that some generals did not act, and even ignored the lives of his officers and soldiers. But for Hu Biao, he still can't sit idly by after all. The dispatch of medical assistance teams also hopes to allow more wounded people to survive.

In Hu Biao's view, this anti-Japanese battlefield that lasted for several years has caused too many heroic sons and daughters to pay for their blood. These soldiers who went out for the country are also heroes of the country and the nation, and they should not be sacrificed in vain.

If someone really dared to stop the treatment of the wounded, Hu Biao didn't mind ordering the First Army to block the supply lines of the expeditionary army and disarm all those troops. As for the Japanese army and the rebels, what happened to Guan Hu Biao?

In this situation, he wished that the Japanese army and the rebels would continue to fight to the death with the British colonial army, and make that colony as chaotic as possible. The morality of the British colonial army, Hu Biao can now see it thoroughly.

From beginning to end, even if these colonial troops suffered a lot, they still looked extremely arrogant. In Hu Biao's opinion, he didn't know what qualifications these guys had to be proud of. The empire on which the sun never sets in the past is now no longer glorious.

Even though the Allies won victories in various theaters, the European theater was dominated by Soviet troops. In the Asian theater, the Nationalist Government and the Eighth Route Army also contained a large number of Japanese troops, while the Pacific theater was dominated by Menia.

At least at this stage, the fighting around the southwestern colonies, everything is up to Hu Biao. The recovery of Qiong Island is a manifestation of the strength of the wolf army. Whether the follow-up war will expand depends on the specific situation.

In Hu Biao's view, the most fundamental reason for the setback of the expeditionary army on the front line is that the rear headquarters is like an ornament. If you don't know the battle situation ahead, you still listen to the British colonial army for everything, how can you be invincible?

In the face of the arrival of the medical aid team of the First Independent Army, all units of the expeditionary army expressed a warm welcome. Referring to the matter of helping the war, the liaison sent was also very direct: "We are fighting in the independent army, everything is up to us, and we will not participate in this battle!" ”

According to the previous agreement, the expeditionary force has the right to fight independently and autonomously. It's a pity that the new commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army is more of an ornament. Through the radio, the combat units on the front line are commanded by remote control.

Regarding this situation, the liaison officer also said directly: "As the old saying goes, the general will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected!" These brothers are all coming with you, think about it, and when you go back, how will you explain to their parents?

Battles can be fought, but they can't be fought, right? Why are you working the front line, while some of you are at ease in the rear? How many local people support you when you come here to fight? Mess with life, you can not listen! ”

The liaison team sent by the Independence Army spread the news among the expeditionary forces. Many officers, who felt very aggrieved, immediately put forward a proposal to withdraw to the rear to rest and recuperate. And some high-ranking commanders, naturally, felt that they were disobedient.

"Shizuo, how many times have we fought with the little devils and the local rebels since we set out on the expedition? How many of the brothers they brought before are buried here? Are you really going to bury all your brothers here? ”

"A soldier is called upon to obey orders! If you wear this uniform, you must obey orders! ”

"Good! So today, let's take off this uniform. Obey orders, whose orders? Are we here to listen to fewer orders? Why do we have to listen to those foreign devils? Why should we be sent to death as cannon fodder? ”

In the face of the questioning of his subordinates, the supervising teams of each division also appeared at the right time. Just as the Overseers were preparing to apprehend the disobedient officers, the Independence Army's liaison team also appeared at the right time. The sentence 'Who dares to move' made the overseers sent by the rear jealous!
