Chapter 184: What do you want to do?
The so-called 'defeat is like a mountain', and the Soviet army, which was caught off guard by the German army before, began to set off round after round of counterattack offensives. To the heartbeat of the Allied powers, the Soviets fought extremely well in their counterattacks, recovering areas occupied by the Germans.
On the other hand, in the Pacific Theater and the Asian Theater, the struggle between the Japanese army and Menia continued. In order to compete for strategic islands in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese army and the Meniah army fought for the air force and navy, and the navy and land force.
Compared with Menia, it has a certain advantage in air supremacy, but it is difficult for the navy and army to dominate. The powerful industrial system of Komenia, coupled with the mobilization for war that began to function, more and more Menian soldiers began to go to the battlefield.
Even at the invitation of the Allies, Menia began to send troops to land on the European battlefield to assist the Allied countries in launching a counterattack against the German army. The combat forces invested in the Pacific theater were more concentrated in the navy and air force, compressing the strategic defense circle of the Japanese army.
But everyone knows that neither the German nor the Japanese army has been completely depleted of their war potential. In particular, the Japanese army's stubborn determination to resist to the end also brought huge casualties to the Menia army, which made the Menia side extremely annoyed and headache.
Hu Biao, who returned to Zhenning Mansion to spend the Spring Festival with his family, also knew that the footsteps of the end of the war were not far away. To his gratification, Hu Biao inspected various control areas a few years ago and found that all military and political work was progressing extremely smoothly.
The rapid development of the rear base camp also brought Hu Biao great comfort and confidence. After knowing that the second group of expeditionary troops trained in Yunnan Province after the year would be invited by the British colonial army to enter the Indian colony to fight with the colonial army.
Regarding Shancheng's decision, Hu Biao did not block it too much. After resigning from the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army, Hu Biao no longer interfered in the affairs of the expeditionary army. Some things still won't be transferred by Hu Biao's will.
Looking at the telegram sent back by the Shuo Rat Intelligence Station, it roughly counted the results of the Battle of Liucheng that had ended. The estimated number of more than 60,000 casualties still makes Hu Biao indignant. But Hu Biao knew that he couldn't change anything.
In this battle, which ended with the withdrawal of the Japanese army from Liucheng on its own initiative, the Japanese army paid a lot of price. But in Hu Biao's opinion, if someone had paid attention to his reminder earlier, maybe this battle might not have been so difficult.
Lin Yashi, who walked into the study with a cup of tea, looked at Hu Biao who was standing at the window and staring at the north, although she didn't know what was going on, she still comforted: "Brother Biao, what's wrong?" It's all home, can't you get some rest? ”
"I want to rest too! But there are some things that I can't let go of in my heart at all. This is a summary telegram just sent by Shuo Mouse, this cold number, but it represents the lives of countless hot-blooded children, my heart aches! ”
"Alas! You've done a great job! If this is the case, you can't control this kind of thing! ”
"Yes! It doesn't work! But it's still heartbreaking! The thought of so many iron-clad hot-blooded men falling on the battlefield makes me feel uncomfortable. Although I know that there are no casualties in war. But there are some casualties, which can be avoided! ”
After traveling so far, Hu Biao finally knows why the Nationalist Government, which obviously has a good hand, finally played a bad hand of bad cards. In the final analysis, it was their own work, and it became a matter of course to be defeated in the end.
Hu Biao, who had made up his mind in his heart, quickly sent a telegram to Yan'an and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army after finishing the Spring Festival and starting work. Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army, who received this telegram, felt extremely surprised and expected.
Finding the pilot who had been to Yan'an before, Hu Biao once again sent his guard adjutant to carry a letter written in advance. Together with the second batch of supplies raised by Hu Biao for the Eighth Route Army, they were transferred to Yan'an.
With the fame of the Eighth Route Army in the northern battlefield and the visits of delegations from various countries and overseas Chinese, Yan'an, the base camp of the Anti-Japanese War in the north, has also begun to be known more and more. And the life of the Eighth Route Army has also been much better than before.
The Yan'an side, which knew that Hu Biao had contributed a lot to these things, was also full of expectations when he looked at the group of transport planes that flew to Yan'an again. To Yan'an's shock, the materials sent by Hu Biao this time were of higher value than the previous ones.
Looking at the handwritten letter handed over by the adjutant of the guard, as well as a list of supplies, Vice Marshal Zhou was also extremely shocked and said: "Adjutant Li, so many radio stations? Do you all source from overseas? ”
"Back to the sir, no! These new radio stations are all developed and produced by ourselves. The power and secrecy are very high, and the specific performance can be read by the chief at that time. Sir I think you should be in dire need of such a communication radio. ”
"Definitely! With this batch of radio stations, many of our regimental-level combat units can be assigned a radio station. ”
The forces of the wolf army have never set foot in the north. But for the development of the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao has been secretly paying attention. As the Eighth Route Army began to pass through the north, and the vanguard had even entered the northeast, radio became extremely important.
With these nearly 200 radio stations, the Eighth Route Army was able to complete a relatively dense communications network on the frontline battlefield. Front-line commanders can also follow the rear command headquarters to report changes in the enemy situation on the battlefield in a timely manner and reduce unnecessary losses.
If it is said that this batch of materials brought to Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army was a surprise in spring, then after reading the handwritten letter written by Hu Biao, Taizu sighed: "Mr. Hu, he is really a warm-hearted patriotic general!" I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to repay this debt in the future! ”
According to the content of Hu Biao's handwritten letter, Hu Biao has decided to start evacuating the fighters at the Malingshan base. The Malingshan base, which has been in operation for many years, is also intended to be gradually transferred to the management of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, Hu Biao also planned to hand over the guerrilla units in the Soviet Province to the rebuilt New Fourth Army. Taizu, who knew what this meant, also understood that Hu Biao was already determined to shrink all his strength back to the southwest and no longer interfere in the domestic battlefield.
But in terms of the Nationalist Government and Yan'an, Hu Biao has already made a choice, which is also extremely needed by Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army. The most gratifying thing for Taizu was that Hu Biao said that he would give support to the Eighth Route Army entering the southeast.
In addition to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou, which have not yet been invaded by the Japanese army, other areas where Japanese troops are stationed, as long as Hu Biao can help, he will give corresponding materials and intelligence support. This is undoubtedly extremely important to the Eighth Route Army.
In addition to the formation of the rescue army in the Yellow Flood Area, Hu Biao's power base in China was also fully entrusted to the combat troops under the command of the Eighth Route Army to take over. Mr. Zhu, who knew what this meant, also felt that this favor was indeed owed.
The handover work, along with Hu Biao's telegram order, was also carried out unconsciously. For the armed forces behind enemy lines to which the wolf army belongs, although it is a little reluctant. But they already knew that when they arrived in the southwest, they would be able to start a new life.
On the other hand, on the Shancheng side who learned the news, Lao Jiang, who finally returned from abroad, was even more angry and said: "It seems that this guy has really hooked up with the Eighth Route Army, and if we don't restrain him, we are afraid that we will really be strangled by him." ”
Looking at the disgruntled old Jiang, Dai Li, who came to report, shook his head and said: "Commission, in this situation, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to conflict with him." The expeditionary force has been assembled, and it will soon leave for the Indian colony.
If we really stiffen relations, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of our troops. As soon as they block the logistical supply lines, our troops will face starvation. The foundation of this son has been formed, and it is not easy to grudge! ”
As the strength of the wolf army in the southwest colony continued to be revealed, Dai Li's heart was also shocked when he saw the strength of the wolf army sent by his subordinates. Nearly 500,000 army combat units, the pace of development can be called terrifying.
The most important thing is that in addition to a large number of army combat units, the strength of the aviation unit and the navy under Hu Biao should not be underestimated. It was only at this moment that Dai Li finally understood why Menia valued Hu Biao so much.
The reason is very simple, Hu Biao at this moment already has the ability to influence the situation in the southwest. Although everyone knew that Hu Biao could not join forces with the Japanese army, no one dared to despise his existence. Maybe only Lao Jiang, who feels good about himself, dares to give birth to the idea of beating!
As Dai Li provided the information collected by the military commander, Lao Jiang was also extremely shocked and said, "How is this possible? In just a few years, how could he pull up so many teams? Damn, what the hell does he want to do? ”
"Excuse me, General Flying Fox chose to leave and enter the Southwest Colony, and he never thought of getting involved in the country. He told me that his greatest wish in this life is to be a patriotic barrier to the southwest of Yongzhen! ”
"Humph! In the final analysis, it's not that he wants to be the king independently, but also a wolf with ambitions! ”
No matter what Lao Jiang thought in his heart, Hu Biao, who made the decision, also began to move forward according to his established plan. In view of the fact that the main force of the expeditionary army began to go to the Indian colonies, Hu Biao also began to order the independence army to rest in place.
The combat troops along the way still provided help to the expedition within their capacity. Hearing this news, Lao Jiang, who was far away in the mountain city, also breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't know that these expeditionary troops went to the Indian colonies and would eventually return.
The front-line battlefield was given up to the responsibility of the expeditionary force sent by the Nationalist Government, and the Independence Army, under Hu Biao's instructions, began to focus on maintaining stability in the rear. Cooperate with the engineer brigade and civil affairs officials to speed up various livelihood construction.
Just when the Japanese army was considering whether to continue to increase troops to the British colonies, Hu Biao also knew that there were some things that could be carried out when he received a bomber group dispatched by the Menia to start bombing the colony of Qiudao, which the Japanese had invaded in the early years.
The confidential staff officer was called and said: "Send a report to the Eighth Division and let it start attacking the Japanese troops stationed in Xianluo." Then send a telegram to the Northern rebel army so that it can launch a counteroffensive. Strive to take down the whole territory of Xianluo in the shortest possible time! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
With the issuance of Hu Biao's combat order, the troops stationed in the vicinity of Xianluo also began to attack the Japanese army in Xianluo. The sudden battle made the commander of the Japanese front feel tremendous pressure in an instant.
Once the entire territory of Xianluo is recovered, the living space of the Japanese army in the southwestern colonies will also be greatly reduced. The extortion rope prepared by Hu Biao for the Japanese army will also become tighter and tighter, and finally the Japanese army will be completely driven out of the southwest colony!
