Chapter 167: Total Takeover

For the confident Japanese army, the setback of the battle plan to invade the British colonies undoubtedly poured cold water on the victorious Japanese army. The annihilation of the two elite divisions was even more traumatic for the Japanese army, which lacked troops.

From large-scale main battles, they had no choice but to small-scale front-line confrontations, and the expeditionary troops stationed in the British colonies one after another, and the battles between the colonial army and the Japanese army, were also fought with great succession, so that the foreign generals also recognized the expeditionary army.

However, for Hu Biao, as the deputy commander-in-chief, in the case of two wars and two telegrams, he has already won the attention of the heads of allied countries in addition to these foreign generals. In particular, Menia, which has cooperated a lot with him, has paid more attention to Hu Biao.

Compared with countries such as England and France, Menia knows Hu Biao's strength best. The attack on Pearl Harbor and the occupation of the Asian colonies by the Japanese army made it even more necessary for Menia to have a staunch ally in Asia.

Earlier, some politicians and parliamentarians in the United States felt that cooperation with the Nationalist Government should be strengthened. After the two telegrams, some people's attitudes quickly changed and no longer hindered the further comprehensive cooperation between the Menia side and Hu Biao.

It's just that for Hu Biao, no matter what victory he wins on the battlefield, he knows one thing very well. An ally at this moment will also become an enemy in the future. Between countries, interests are eternal, and he has always been vigilant against countries such as Menia.

Hu Biao, who returned to Zhenning Mansion to accompany his family, knew that there should be some time before the British colonies resumed the war. Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao began to inspect the recruits under his command, intending to continue to carry out his army expansion plan.

Seeing the recruits who had completed the training, Hu Biao also asked: "How are the local recruits learning the language?" ”

"Report the wolf's head, a simple conversation is fine. For these local recruits, they work harder than the recruits from China. Because they all know that once they can stay in the army, they can earn money to feed their families. ”

"Oh! It seems that the military salary system we have formulated is still very attractive! Political, cultural, and educational aspects must be strengthened, even if they enter the main force. Tell those soldiers that they want to get the first criterion for promotion, but they can read and write official language! ”

"Understood!"

After inspecting these recruits, Hu Biao went to the Army Command College, where he was studying and training intensively. After watching the students' drills, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "All the regiment-level students who are being trained will be brought to the conference room!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

In order to implement the combat ideas and propositions of the wolf army, and to further enhance their prestige and influence in the army. Hu Biao also laid down the rule that officers must go to military academies to study for promotion. Only those who pass the final examination will be eligible for the new position.

Seeing the regimental-level officer who was led to the conference room, Hu Biao also said happily: "Put down the gun and become a cadet soldier, how do you feel?" ”

"Wolf head, there are a lot of things to learn, and I always feel that there are some things that I can't learn!"

Looking at the students who replied, Hu Biao smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you are Du Ziyang, right?" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"The company commander of the wounded soldier company back then has now become a regimental officer, not bad!"

"Thank you, Wolf Head!"

For these regimental-level officers who were ordered to come for training, hearing Hu Biao point out their identities one by one and talk about some things in China back then, these regimental-level officers felt warm in their hearts, and they felt a sense of being trusted and reused.

After chatting some gossip, Hu Biao continued: "Letting you come here for training is also intended to promote and reuse you." You are all my old subordinates, and you should be clear about the concept of governing the army that I have always emphasized, that is, those who can go up and those who can't go down.

I'm sure you've all heard of the truth that a soldier will be a nest, at least I don't want you to be that kind of commander. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you are willing to learn. Coming to the college for further study is an opportunity to learn.

In addition to you, even those officers at the division level and brigade level will need to be trained and further studied in the future. As commanders, you must know more about the new concepts of the future of warfare and more about the new equipment than the soldiers.

Before coming to the academy, I inspected the recruits in the various control areas and found that our recruits were well trained. Letting them continue to stay in the rear to eat food and get paid is somewhat wasteful. Therefore, I intend to form a few more recruit divisions! ”

As soon as these words came out, the leaders of the training regiments who came to participate in the meeting immediately realized that their opportunity had come. Looking at the happy and apprehensive expressions on the faces of these regiment commanders, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "It's a good thing to want to be a general, it means that you know that you have made progress!" ”

"Thank you, Wolf Head!"

"No thanks! Burden upon you, and I hope you will carry a heavier burden. The fighting in the British colonies, I'm sure you've all heard about it. And in the next step, the combat mission you undertake is not light, understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Promotion order, I'll have someone give it to you later. This time, I will form six recruit divisions, and you will all have the opportunity to serve as divisional combat commanders. But you will all have a temporary title in front of your position.

If your command level does not meet the requirements of a divisional commander, then you will have to abdicate and let someone else take your place. I am responsible to you, and even more so to the officers and soldiers under your command. ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"After the recruit division is formed, I will only give you a one-month opportunity to reorganize. In order to facilitate your command of the troops as soon as possible, the recruit divisions under your command will transfer the main regiments you commanded earlier and place them under your command. ”

Hearing this, these regimental commanders who came to receive training were extremely happy. There are old subordinates of the regiment under their hands, which is also convenient for them to control the troops as soon as possible. And the other three recruit regiments also need to take time to train well.

After the meeting was over, Hu Biao convened the trainees separately, announced their new appointments, and at the same time demarcated the garrison areas for the temporary division commanders of these recruits. Seeing these areas, these recruit division commanders all know that this is to expand their territory!

In order to cope with the possibility of a major chaos in the future, and to ensure the smooth communication between the Indochina colony and the southwest, Hu Biao has decided to keep all coastal areas except Haiphong City, which is a key area for the Japanese army to be stationed.

At present, the land passage with Guixi has been cut off by the Japanese army, and Hu Biao will also make every effort to open it up. He wanted to let the Japanese know that they had no hope in the Indochina colonies. In this way, the French colony was truly in his own hands.

As for the French colonial army that is still in the colony, Hu Biao will also spend money to support it. When the time comes, send them out of the country. If these colonial troops don't know how to lift, Hu Biao doesn't mind letting the little devils clean them up.

At this time, Francis, which was controlled by the German army, had already formed a puppet government. For the French colonial officers and soldiers who remained in the colony, they also became homeless children. There are those loyal to the government-in-exile and those loyal to the puppet government.

In short, these outcasts of French colonial officers and soldiers now seem very confused. Even everything they enjoy now is thanks to Hu Biao for sheltering them. Without the wolf army, they were just cleaned up by the little devils!

With the newly formed New Third and Eighth Divisions, they were successively stationed in the defense areas demarcated by Hu Biao, and Lieutenant General Pique, who learned the news, also said directly to his subordinates' instructions: "Don't know these things!" ”

"General, if this continues, can we still guarantee the colony?"

"Without their protection, our colony would have been lost. If we object, what do you think will happen to us? Don't forget, we are now loyal to the government-in-exile. But can the government-in-exile provide us with asylum? ”

Several rhetorical questions in a row made his subordinates extremely embarrassed in an instant. In fact, as the Japanese army began to invade the British colonies, the wolf army, which had previously paid taxes to the French colonial government, had also canceled these supplies.

Some people have protested, and even plan to cause trouble for the wolf army. As a result, it is clear that the final fate of these people is to leave their lives in the colony completely. Everyone knows who did it, but no one dares to refute anything.

Compared with the British colonial army, they can still retreat to the Indian colony, and these French colonial officials or officers and soldiers, if they can't stay in the colony, can only go to the rear to live a drunken life, waiting for the news of revival to come.

But as things stand, whether the government-in-exile can regain control of France depends on whether the Allies can defeat the Axis powers, led by the Germans. Many people feel a little hopeless about this expectation.

At the same time as sending a new division to take over the Indochina colony, Hu Biao also sent telegrams to the military and political chiefs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Regarding Hu Biao's decision, Generals Li, Bai and Long all expressed their support, and felt that communication between the two sides could be further strengthened.

As for the local people in the colony, they also didn't dare to say anything when they saw the new recruit division of the Wolf Army stationed there. Even many people who have been to the core area have warmly welcomed the arrival of the new division, feeling that they are more safe.

Stationed in the new defense area, Hu Biao's first combat task assigned to the recruit division was to eliminate the rebel forces and armed forces that had colluded with the Japanese army in the defense area. For a time, these armed forces were dealt a heavy blow.

On the other hand, the Japanese army, who led the support plan, received telegrams from various places asking for help, and they were also extremely shocked: "Baga! So many elite troops, where did they come from? Is it another Chinese army? ”

"Doesn't think so! According to what we know, the troops that took over the towns, as if they were formed by the locals? ”

"Na? Can the local indigenous people form such a regular army? Behind these troops, there must be someone to support them! ”

No matter what the Japanese army thinks, it is also an indisputable fact that they cannot break through the defensive circle drawn by the wolf army for them. In this case, unless they are willing to mobilize heavy forces and open up a new battlefield in Indochina, they can only shrink their defenses.

After stabilizing the local situation, the recruit division began to infiltrate and harass the Japanese-controlled areas. For a time, some coastal areas where the Japanese army sent a small number of troops to garrison had to be abandoned, and watched these colonies achieve land integration with Yunnan and Guizhou provinces!
