As Hu Biao's series of retaliatory actions unfolded, the Japanese attacking troops, who had just gathered reinforcements, also began to feel that the war had once again become uncontrollable. The accident of the first supply convoy was only the beginning of this chaos.

When the garrison in the rear began to pay great attention to the safety of transport supply lines. The Japanese garrisons in various places were surprised to find that the anti-Japanese forces attacking their convoys could not find an opportunity to attack the convoys, but began to blow up the highway bridges along the way.

Faced with the collapse of many sections of the highway and the destruction of many bridges, the little devils who transported and escorted supplies suddenly found that they could not transport supplies to the front line at all. This also led to the fact that the Japanese troops fighting on the front line had to stop attacking again.

Looking at the telegram sent from the rear, the commander of the Japanese army, Ando Toshiki, who was in charge of the front line command, said in confusion: "Where did these rebel forces come from?" Why didn't we find out before? ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, we attacked all the way before, and we only controlled the county towns along the road. As for the remote villages around the county seat, we simply don't have that many troops to deploy and control. These rebels should be hiding there! ”

"Yaga! So why didn't the special high school investigate these situations before? ”

Every time the Japanese army formulates a major battle plan, it will give priority to the information provided by the special high school and the enemy's situation. Before attacking all the way to the outside of Nanning, Ando Toshiyoshi was not informed by the special high school that there were such a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces in the occupied area.

As a result, what made Ando Toshiyoshi even more speechless was that in the face of his questioning, the adjutant also said helplessly: "Your Excellency Commander, not long after we captured the county towns along these roads, our local spies who were hiding in the area were assassinated several times.

Many spies who have been lurking in the area for many years have died in this series of assassinations. Now it seems that from the day we attacked Guinan, those people have been hiding in advance, just to create trouble for us at this time! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ando Toshikichi tightened his heart and said: "Quick! Immediately send a telegram to the forward reconnaissance unit to inquire about the movements of the Chinese army. A certain number of elite reconnaissance units will be dispatched to carry out meticulous reconnaissance on the left and right sides of our army and in the rear.

Now in this situation, we have to make a choice. Although I am not willing to retreat, the supply will not be delivered in a short time, and if we continue to stay here, the situation will only become more and more dangerous. It seems that it is time for us to prepare for a retreat! ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, retreat?"

Hearing what Ando Toshiyoshi said, the other commanders in the command headquarters were also extremely shocked. But Ando Toshikichi still said seriously: "That's right! Fall back! If we don't retreat, we will be in danger of being pursued and surrounded at any time! ”

"This shouldn't be possible, right? The Chinese army is huddled in the position, how can they take the initiative to counterattack? ”

"Why can't it be? You have forgotten that the mysterious unit that completely annihilated our mixed brigade that day has not been found out by the special high school so far. At present, HNA is no longer able to provide us with much support.

Once this mysterious force suddenly attacked from our flank or behind. When the time comes, if we want to retreat, we are afraid that it will become more difficult. And most importantly, the rear supplies cannot be delivered, how long can our supplies last? ”

As Toshikichi Ando voiced his analysis and concerns, the other commanders in the war room fell silent. At this time, Ando Toshikichi continued: "In addition, don't forget that there are also hidden Shina Air Force units! ”

Although the HNA said it had destroyed a hidden airfield of the Nationalist army in Shillong. How many fighters can be destroyed, and no one dares to guarantee whether there are hidden national fighters in the southwest.

At present, the navy has lost an aircraft carrier group in order to support their attack on Nanning City. In addition to the fighters and pilots that bombed Shillong and were damaged, the navy was already extremely dissatisfied and unwilling to continue to provide them with strong support.

Once the air force of the national army takes the opportunity to counterattack, then it will become dangerous for them to retreat at that time. If they cannot withdraw to the rear in time, these elite Japanese troops located on the front line are in danger of being counter-encircled at any time.

After some deliberation and consideration, Ando Toshikishi's decision to retreat was quickly agreed by the rest of the commanders. After this decision was reported, the Japanese military top brass finally agreed. I don't think it's really necessary to continue fighting.

At this moment, the most important thing for the Japanese army was not whether they could capture Nanning, but to find out the submarine force that attacked the aircraft carrier formation. During this time, HNA fighters were scurrying around the sea every day, but still no trace of submarines was found.

All intelligence officers stationed in Nanyang and Indochina have been mobilized, and not much information has been gathered about the submarine force. The only thing that made the Japanese suspicious was the Menian army in Luzon, which seemed to have accepted a group of submarines.

It is a pity that the colonial forces stationed in the United States are extremely protective of the submarine base. How many submarines there were at that base, the Japanese still have no way of knowing. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the Menias garrison did not find anything unusual before the war.

The so-called anomaly was the garrison sent by Menia to Luzon, and no movement was found. If it is said that this matter is related to the Meniah military, the Japanese army cannot produce conclusive evidence, let alone trouble the Meniah army.

However, the information collected by the Japanese army's special high school has also made the little devil's navy top brass extremely dissatisfied with the Meniah military. In addition, Meinia is considering reducing the sale of strategic materials to Fuso, which makes the high-level of the little devil even more dissatisfied.

It's just that as far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, even if the Fuso side is extremely dissatisfied with Menia's attitude, it still has to be very polite, hoping to continue to purchase more strategic materials from Menia. For example, the oil that the Japanese army urgently needs most!

The little devils, who urgently need to solve their energy dependence, have also begun to set their sights on the South Seas, the also colonized Java region. There were oil resources that the Japanese army urgently needed there, but once the troops were sent to attack, it was bound to arouse strong opposition from the colonial powers.

When the time came, the Japanese army had to prepare for the outbreak of a full-scale war. Although the little devils are full of self-confidence, they still dare not say that they are capable of dealing with the counterattack of the multinational coalition. Therefore, the Japanese army is also in dire need of some international allies!

As the saying goes, one stone stirs up a thousand waves, perhaps Hu Biao did not expect that the aircraft carrier formation that raided the little devils led to the jealousy of the Japanese army against the Asian colonial powers. But in fact, the changes in the current situation caused by Hu Biao are also expanding.

Knowing that the little devil began to focus on the search for the submarine force, and it seemed that he no longer cared about the Xilong side of the destroyed airport, Hu Biao also seemed relieved and began to stay in Yongfu City with peace of mind to promote his southwest strategy.

Just as Hu Biao was in full swing and began to completely control Yongfu City in his own hands, a secret telegram sent by Liu Shixing aroused Hu Biao's great attention. The reason is that the firing team accidentally discovered that a big man appeared in He Cheng.

After reading the telegram sent by Liu Shixing, Hu Biao said with a little surprise: "It seems that Shancheng really attaches great importance to me!" Send a report to Shillong and order it to strengthen its vigilance. If you notice a stranger trespassing, control them immediately.

Secondly, let our vigilant troops be more vigilant. Once you find out that this group of people has entered Yongfu City, you must ensure that the other party is safe. I'd love to see if this guy is coming for me! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

From the telegram sent by Liu Shixing, Hu Biao could already perceive that his series of actions in the southwest had aroused great attention from the Shancheng side. No matter where the other party comes from, Hu Biao must be ready to turn his face at any time.

Fortunately, no matter where he is on the other side, but Yongfu City, where he is at the moment, the power controlled by Hu Biao must be stronger than that of the military commander. Even if the Nationalist Government deployed a main division in Hecheng, Hu Biao was not worried about the other party turning his face.

The reason is very simple, in the countryside around Hecheng, Hu Biao also deployed more than one regiment of elite troops. If that division of the national army moves, Hu Biao can also send nearby troops to reinforce at any time.

In a word, Hu Biao, who spent huge manpower and material resources to open up the situation, has now established a foundation in the southwest. Even if the mountain city is dissatisfied or wary of it, it is basically impossible to drive Hu Biao out of Shillong.

Separation is two evils, cooperation is two benefits, and Hu Biao does not want to turn his face with Shancheng until it is absolutely necessary. Moreover, Shillong belongs to the territory of the Gui family, and if the mountain city wants to fight Shillong, it must also be approved by the Gui family.

If Hu Biao is pushed directly to the Gui side, I believe that the big guy sitting in the mountain city will also be worried that the southwest will be completely out of control. Aside from tearing his face head-on, what Hu Biao needs to watch out for may be the assassination or assassination operations that the military commander is good at.

Soon after Hu Biao gave the order to strengthen the vigilance, the Shuo Rat team soon received information that the big man who had traveled from the mountain city had already entered Yongfu City in the horse team. It seems that the other party should know that Hu Biao is here.

In response to this situation, Hu Biao also said directly: "Send a sealed telegram to Shuo Rat and ask him to start an internal investigation." I wondered if the other person had no intention of entering here, or if they really knew that I was here.

If it's the former, all is well. If it's the latter, then it means that we have leaked secrets internally, and there shouldn't be many people who are qualified to know that I'm here. On the detachment's side, an internal investigation was also launched to check out those who might leak secrets! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Although Hu Biao trusts these subordinates around him very much, but Hu Biao will not be confident that the people around him must be extremely loyal to him. Check once in a while to make sure you don't have leakers or betrayers around.

Fortunately, to Hu Biao's relief, after internal investigation, no leakers were found. And the big guy who entered Yongfu City, after two circles in Yongfu City, prepared to set off with a caravan to the Indochina colony.

Knowing this situation, Hu Biao felt that since the other party came, it was somewhat unreasonable not to meet the other party. And Hu Biao also hopes that through the other party's understanding of the attitude of the mountain city, the possibility of conflict can be minimized or avoided!
