Chapter 148: They Don't Have a Choice!

As the telegrams declaring war flew all over the sky, the members of the Allied Powers, who had previously felt that the Japanese army did not dare to act lightly, really saw the crazy side of the Japanese army. The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese army began to officially move troops to the South Seas.

Taking advantage of its powerful naval and air forces, the Japanese army gained absolute sea and air supremacy in a very short period of time. This was followed by a large number of army combat units that began to enter the coastal colonial control areas.

The Japanese army, which had earlier pulled Xianluo into the chariot, immediately began to invade the Malai Peninsula from Xianluo's territory. The British colonies, which had not moved earlier, were also captured by the Japanese army one after another, and the resistance of the British colonial army was still very weak.

Looking at the telegrams sent by Shuo Rat's overseas intelligence station one after another, Hu Biao also knew that at this moment, there was no force in Asia that could compete with the Fuso Navy and Air Force. The successive victories of the Japanese army undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Japanese army once again.

At the same time, the Japanese army, which had gathered more than 100,000 troops in Xian La and Haiphong Cities, finally launched an attack on the British colonies. Surprisingly, the British colonial army also seemed powerless in the face of the Japanese attack.

What surprised the colonial government even more was that the rebel forces in the colony seemed to join forces with the Japanese army, under the slogan of recovering the colony and driving out the colonists, and instantly ignited the entire colony, making it even more difficult for the British colonial army to deal with.

At the same time, the Japanese army, which had waited for the follow-up reinforcements, again launched an attack from the direction of Haiphong City. Compared with the number of troops that the Japanese army invested in the British colonies, the Japanese troops on the side of the French colonies seemed to be more like feints.

After receiving a telegram from the front-line combat troops, the combat staff officer also asked: "Wolf Head, do you want to take the opportunity to fight back and take Haiphong City by the way?" Looking at the little devil's posture, it is obvious that he intends to contain our main force! ”

"Isn't that bad? Only in this way could Major General Peake complain to the British colonial army, saying that their own defense forces were lacking and they were unable to send troops to help. Since the little devils are going to act, then let's accompany them to act.

Send a report to the new 1st and 2nd Divisions, and let them secretly enter the defense areas of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, and take over the defense of the 2nd Division and the 3rd Division. After the handover of defense, the 2nd and 3rd Divisions began to move to Ivan's farm according to the predetermined plan. ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

After such a long period of training and screening, Hu Biao also began to recruit a group of aborigines to join the army in the area under his control. The officers and men selected for the new 1st and 2nd divisions are all officers and non-commissioned officers who have just graduated from the first phase of the academy.

The platoon also included young men selected from among the immigrants. After at least half a year of military training and political education, Hu Biao formally formed a division-level combat unit and sent it to the front line to fight the Japanese army.

The 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which had been replaced, took advantage of the Japanese army and the colonial army to start assembling on the side of Ivan's Farm through the constantly expanding and repaired land routes. Wait for the opportunity, and then encircle on both sides and flank the Japanese army that has invaded the British territory.

In addition to paying attention to the battlefield situation, Hu Biao did not forget to pay attention to the domestic battlefield. It is gratifying that there seems to be no major war on the domestic battlefield at present, and more friction and confrontation on the front line. But the domestic situation still seems to be not peaceful.

As Hu Biao said when he inspected the Yellow Flood Area, in the surrounding areas of Henan Province in winter, there is still little rain. In many places, there has been a drought or even no harvest, and many people have also fallen into a situation of fleeing the famine.

After receiving the telegram from the rescue army, Hu Biao immediately said: "Send a telegram to General Li of the Fifth War Zone, ask him to help recruit some disaster victims, and hope that the anti-Japanese war troops along the way will release them and start the second round of resettlement work!" ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"I sent a telegram to the Eighth Route Army, hoping that they could send more armed forces behind enemy lines to try their best to help these victims. If there are difficulties in resettlement, the people can also be persuaded to move to the southwest. Later, I will arrange for some supplies to be shipped over! ”

"Yes!"

"Then send a telegram to the transit and resettlement stations, and closely do a good job of corresponding rescue work. Later, I will arrange a caravan to bring as much food and daily necessities as possible to ensure that these displaced victims can reach the southwest alive! ”

Fortunately, in the past two years, on the side of the Indochina colony, Hu Biao has also gathered a sufficient amount of grain. In Xilong and various resettlement sites, Hu Biao even had underground granaries built in advance. These grains are stored as strategic reserves.

Now that the corresponding resettlement work has been started, a large amount of food and daily necessities will naturally be needed. Fortunately, there is no shortage of these things, and the wolf army only needs to start the corresponding rescue procedures, and the following resettlement sites will also do a good job.

After thinking about it, Hu Biao said again: "From the army and immigrants, select a group of eloquent officers and soldiers and people, and give them a holiday to return to Henan Province." Let them go back, spread the word to the people about the situation here, and try to move more people over! ”

It is clear that many people are reluctant to leave their homes unless they have to. But Hu Biao still believes that the presence of these fellow villagers should attract more people to come. The more people moved, the more stable Hu Biao's control over the core area became.

If those aborigines dared to jump out and resist, Hu Biao would not mind purging them. In the final analysis, there may not be many others in the country, but the population is still very large. This kind of big migration should also alarm the mountain city side.

As long as Shancheng believes that if this continues, the large loss of population in Henan Province and other disaster-stricken areas will affect its rule. Then the national government will have to invest huge manpower and material resources in disaster relief, and the more people will be able to receive assistance.

Correspondingly, if the national government is reluctant to contribute money and materials, and is still blocking Hu Biao from giving these victims a way to live, then Hu Biao does not mind making some small moves. If it wants to avoid population loss, the national government must find a way to provide disaster relief.

After handing over these matters to the resettlement transfer stations in various places, Hu Biao also continued to pay attention to the development of the front-line war. As Hu Biao expected, the Japanese army, which won a great victory in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, began its frenzied pace of aggression that swept across Asia.

Originally, a large number of colonial troops were assembled in the colony, but in the face of the invasion of more than 100,000 elite troops, the colonial army was defeated and retreated. Many colonial divisions were almost wiped out by the Japanese army, causing heavy losses to the colonial army.

Facing the colonial governor who begged for the door again, Nuvik also said helplessly: "In this situation, it is really difficult for me to recruit more troops. If you want to stop the Fuso invasion, you can really talk to the mountain city. ”

"How about I raise the price and even give your father more farm area?"

Hearing what the colonial governor said, Nuvik was a little surprised. In his opinion, in fact, discussing the matter of sending troops with the Nationalist Government should be more in line with the demands of the colonial government. But this governor just didn't dare to let the anti-Japanese troops enter the country.

Fortunately, Nuvik knew that when it came to such a major event, it was not him and his father who could really make up his mind, but Hu Biao, who stayed in Zhenning Mansion. In the name of needing to consult with his father, Nuvik quickly reported to Hu Biao.

After listening to the report, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "You can agree!" However, the farm lease needs to be extended, and all the islands off Dammam are leased to us free of charge. It's actually good for them, too.

As for their hope that you will transfer the Eighth Division to cooperate in the battle, you can also agree to this clause, as long as they pay a commission. It must also be pointed out that we will not enter Dagon to fight, but only cooperate with them to stop the Japanese army. ”

"Will they agree to such conditions?"

"They don't have a choice! As far as I know, Ah San's side is also making trouble for independence right now, and the servant and mercenary army that could be mobilized in the past is no longer playing with them. Behind this, it also has a lot to do with the little devil's rebellion, and there are more rebels in Dagon.

To put it simply, not to mention holding Dagon and the colonies now, whether they can safely retreat to the rear is a question. Demarcate a buffer zone, as long as the Japanese army pursues to the buffer zone, we will take over the defense and not rush to the front! ”

As Hu Biao informed Nuvik of his strategic intentions on the map, he was also extremely excited to hear that Hu Biao planned to borrow Ivan's farm to start expanding to the periphery and control a new port.

In his opinion, the larger his father's farm became, the more ethnic groups could migrate. When the time comes, the more land those ethnic groups will receive. Although these sites are still under the jurisdiction of Hu Biao, he is also very satisfied.

Without the troops sent by Hu Biao to act as a defensive force, everything they have now will come to naught at any time. Hu Biao also promised that at the appropriate time, a combat division with a predominantly White Russian ethnicity would be formed.

In this way, it means that they also have their own military power. But Nuvik still knew in his heart that this division would still be controlled by Hu Biao. The reason is very simple, the officers and weapons and equipment of the unit are all arranged and provided by Hu Biao.

After putting forward his own conditions, although it caused some headaches to the British governor, he finally agreed. For the British governor at this moment, the Japanese army is not far from Dagon, and it is believed that it will not be long before Dagon is hit.

Once the Japanese occupied Dagon, then the British colonial army had to retreat on all fronts. As for surrender, even the French colonial army did not surrender to the Japanese army, so how could they surrender? At this point, there is no other choice but to persevere to the end!

Fortunately, before Hu Biao, the Second Division and the Third Division had already been replaced, and the Eighth Division, which had previously defended the farm, was transferred away, and there was no problem at all. The transfer of a large number of fighters also made the British colonial government realize that the strength of Ivan Farm was extraordinary.

At the same time, Hu Biao found Brooke to discuss with him, and then sent a telegram to Dai Li, who was in the mountain city. Coupled with Major General Peake, the chief of the Indochina colony, Hu Biao planned to take this opportunity to force the British governor to ask for help from the Nationalist government.

He believed that when the Japanese army captured Dagon and the British colonial army was defeated, he would naturally make a corresponding choice. What Hu Biao wanted to do was to become one of the generals who entered the British colonies to fight in the name of a major general.

The intention of this is also very simple, that is, Hu Biao also needs to establish some prestige, and further enhance his prestige in the army by fighting the little devils. The combination of light and dark identities also makes it easier to hide the existence of the wolf army!
