Chapter 200: It's All Worth It!
When he received the telegram from Shuo Rat's intelligence group in Europe, Hu Biao knew that a new round of power reshuffle was about to begin. The defeat of the German army and the suicide of the mustache meant that the countdown to the unconditional surrender of the German army had begun.
With the momentum of a great victory in the European war, who dares to guarantee that those old colonial powers in Europe are really willing to give up their colonial interests in Asia? In view of this situation, Hu Biao began to transfer the main force from within the wolf army to defend the Indian colony.
At the same time, an order was given to the First Army, which was responsible for the attack, to suspend the attack on the Japanese troops stationed in India under the pretext of exhaustion of the troops. The Japanese army, which still maintained more than 30,000 people, was directly placed in the middle of the wolf army and the British colonial army.
The combat units stationed in the control area also began to build fortifications under Hu Biao's orders. These fortifications are permanent fortifications that have been built with a lot of money. Even if England turns its face in the future, Hu Biao still has room for maneuver.
At the same time, Hu Biao once again contacted Yan'an, hoping to further strengthen cooperation between the two sides. In a secret telegram sent to Yan'an, Hu Biao pointed out the importance of the Japanese army's construction of factories in the three eastern provinces, and asked the Eighth Route Army to keep them.
In addition, Hu Biao also put forward his own speculation, hoping that Yan'an would also pay attention to it. In a word, at the end of World War II in the previous life, Huaxia, which paid a heavy price for the War of Resistance Against Japan, failed to receive due compensation.
Compared with bargaining with the allies, Hu Biao felt that it was the wisest choice to pocket the loot first. After receiving Hu Biao's suggestion, Yan'an and the Eighth Route Army also attached great importance to it, and immediately intensified their offensive.
According to the latest cooperation agreement reached between the two sides, Hu Biao will also unite with the aviation units of the Eighth Route Army in the next step to start air attacks and harass the Japanese army in the north, block the Japanese army's sea transportation routes, and put the Japanese army in a difficult situation.
If necessary, Hu Biao will also dispatch a certain number of combat troops to launch an offensive from the coastal zone and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to launch a new round of counteroffensive operations. As for the southern region, Hu Biao also depends on what choice Lao Jiang will make.
The Japanese forces in the southeast coastal area were basically destroyed by Hu Biao. If Lao Chiang is smart, then he should concentrate his superior forces and really fight a counterattack against the Japanese army, instead of continuing to gather heavy troops in the rear.
At the same time, Hu Biao secretly invited Bai Chongxi of the Gui family, General Long of Yunnan Province, and several generals of the Guizhou army to meet in Yongfu City. The two sides consulted for a day and a night, and soon dispersed.
As for what was discussed during the meeting, the outside world does not know at all. The only thing known was that General Long, who was still the supreme military and political commander of Yunnan Province, soon announced that he would expand the troops by two more divisions.
Even, General Long, who decided to return to Spring City, ignored the orders of the mountain city at all and directly led the two main divisions back to the city. drove all the national troops originally stationed in Spring City out of the city. Nominally, it is naturally a reasonable change of guard!
Hu Biao, who was not sure which direction the war would go next, received a telegram from the Third Division, and immediately ordered the Eagle Strike Aviation Brigade and the two brigades under his command to be transferred, including the Special Operations Brigade commanded by Xu Sandao.
Hu Biao, who had purchased another batch of transport planes from Meinia a few years ago, was already equipped to deliver a regiment of airborne troops. In order to take the Ryushima Island controlled by the Japanese army as soon as possible and completely wipe out the Japanese forces on the southeast coast, he decided to attack again.
Xiangdao, which has stabilized, is garrisoned by a main division sent by the Qiongdao Column, and Hu Biao still feels very relieved. In order to take the entire territory of Ryukdao in the shortest possible time, Hu Biao transferred a main division from his command.
Secondly, the Qiongdao Column, which had been expanded to six divisions, was again assigned a main division to cooperate with the operation. In order to win the battle to recover Ryu Island, Hu Biao assembled the main divisions of two independent armies and one main division of the Eighth Route Army.
Xie Jinyuan was still the commander-in-chief, and he cooperated with the Sea Eagle, Sea Wolf and Eagle Strike Air Force to start landing operations on Ryukyu Island. The reason for daring to make this decision was also because the combat troops of Minia had already entered the rope island, which was firmly defended by the Japanese army.
For the Japanese army, Namawajima was the last line of defense on the outlying islands of Fuso, and once the island was occupied by Menia, Menia could launch a landing operation on the Fuso mainland at any time. This means that there is no room for error.
In order to win this large-scale battle, the Japanese army also gathered a large number of warships and air forces. This also meant that far away in the southeast of Ryukyu, the Japanese army could not provide support at all. If you don't start now, when will you wait?
As with the recovery of the other two islands, the first to attack the Japanese was still the Eagle Strike Air Brigade. Only this time, among the pilots who flew the fighters, there were also a group of pilots sent by the Eighth Route Army.
In order to cultivate a truly combat-capable air force, actual combat is indispensable. In addition, Hu Biao has decided to hand over the previously improved Wildcat fighters to the Eighth Route Army free of charge, and these pilots also need to master their combat performance.
When Hu Biao launched a battle to recover Liudao, the main force of the Eighth Route Army, located in the Qilu region, also launched a full-scale counteroffensive against the Japanese army. For the counterattack war set off by the Eighth Route Army, it was indeed beyond many people's expectations.
It's just that for the Eighth Route Army, Qilu's strategic location is extremely important. As soon as Qilu moved, the Japanese troops stationed in North China would also fall into passivity. If the Japanese army in North China does not reinforce it, then Qilu will inevitably be recovered by the Eighth Route Army.
If the Japanese army in North China is reinforced, then the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which is located in other occupied areas, will set off an even greater wave of counteroffensives. The reason for this is also in view of Hu Biao's prediction that there is really not much time left in the war.
In the face of the sudden appearance of the bomber group, the Japanese fighter formation stationed on Ryujima also took off to meet the battle. It is an extremely pity that the Eagle Strike Air Force at this time is no longer the flight team it was when it was first formed, and there are many pilots with actual combat experience.
The fighter they piloted was better than the Japanese army, and their air combat skills were not weaker than those of the Japanese army, and the results of the battle could be imagined. After the Japanese fighter group was eliminated, the bomber group of the Eagle Strike Air Force immediately entered and began to bomb.
The sudden air battle and bombing undoubtedly caused panic among the people living on Ryu Island. Ryu Island, which had been ceded to Fuso for several decades, also became one of the important colonies of the Japanese army. And this time, the battle for reconquest has finally begun.
The bombing, which lasted for nearly two days, made the pilots involved in the operation feel tired but extremely excited. After destroying the Japanese air defense forces on Ryujima, the Sea Eagle warships and troop carriers that had been waiting for a long time immediately marched towards Ryujima.
The Japanese army, which was already aware of the imminent attack on Ryushima by the Independence Army, also began to make a comprehensive defensive arrangement. The Wolf Army's Special Operations Brigade, which had been assembled and on standby for a long time, also soon received the news that the Japanese army was increasing its troops along the coast.
As the commander-in-chief, Xie Jinyuan looked at the telegram report: "Three knives, it's time for you to appear!" ”
"Please rest assured, the old regiment commander, the special operations brigade is guaranteed to complete the mission!"
The periphery landing operation attracted and pinned down the attention of the Japanese army, and the center of the special operations brigade blossomed, directly smashing the core points of the Japanese army. Maybe the Japanese army doesn't know that today's wolf army already has the strength to remotely deliver an airborne regiment at any time.
Looking at the prepared advance group, Xu Sandao immediately said: "Start boarding, prepare to land!" The task of your regiment is to make sure that the follow-up troops open up an operational area and ensure the airborne safety of the follow-up troops. ”
"Yes, please rest assured that the brigade commander will ensure that the mission will be completed!"
Airborne training has become one of the compulsory subjects for special operations brigades. In addition, Hu Biao also selected elite combat team members from the other main divisions under the command of the Wolf Army, and prepared to organize the first airborne division.
As for the special operations brigade, Hu Biao also plans to continue to keep it. And Xu Sandao is also the first commander of the airborne assault division appointed by him. As for his post of special operations brigade commander, it will also be filled by Sun Erxi, the current commander of the guard regiment.
The strongest main division under the command of the Wolf Army, as well as sharp knife units such as the Special Operations Brigade and the Airborne Assault Division, all have Hu Biao's cronies as commanders without exception. As long as these people are loyal to Hu Biao, then the wolf army will definitely not be chaotic.
As early as when the wolf army entered the colony and began to establish settlements, Hu Biao successively sent action teams and intelligence teams to Liudao. For these expatriates, they are undoubtedly the happiest and most looking forward to the wolf army.
Looking at the farm selected for the airborne landing of the special operations brigade, the operation captain also said cautiously: "Around the farm, are you sure it's safe?" ”
"Please rest assured, this farm is a bit far from the city, and the little devil who contracted the farm is also the overseas intelligence officer of our Squat Intelligence Bureau. In a short period of time, no problems are guaranteed! ”
"That's good! Observation post, keeping an eye on the sky at all times. As soon as a large number of transport planes are discovered, signal flares are immediately launched into the air to guide the special operations brigade to carry out airborne landing. Wait for the special operations brigade to complete the airborne landing, and then go straight to the Yellow Dragon and watch the little devils flee there! ”
"Hehe, don't worry, captain, the brothers have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
The bombardment on the periphery continued, but the huge fleet of transport planes began to extend inland. Flying over the farm area, the pilot plane quickly saw three flares fired below, as well as a landing sign laid out on the farm.
"It's the place! Inform the troops, prepare for the airborne! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
As the tail compartment of the transport plane slowly opened, the special combat personnel who were ready to parachute jumped out of the hatch and pulled out their parachutes. Looking at the umbrella flowers that quickly bloomed in the air, the action team members who were on guard below were particularly excited.
"Divine soldiers descend from heaven! This is the real god soldier descending from heaven! ”
When the special combat team members of the first regiment of the special operations brigade landed safely and put away their parachutes, the commander of the regiment who joined the action team also said very kindly: "Brothers, hard work!" Staying here for so long, homesick, right? ”
"I really thought about it! However, seeing you finally arrive, it's all worth it! ”
"Don't worry! It won't be long before you'll be home safely! In this battle to recover Ryujima, you have made a lot of contributions! ”
Missions lurking behind enemy lines will face unknown dangers and challenges at any time. Many of the expatriate operatives have served or been trained in special operations brigades. So much the time, the two teams are like a family.
Under the guidance of the action team, the 1st Special Operations Regiment quickly mobilized a combat battalion and began to prepare for a surprise attack on the Japanese army. The returning transport plane began to board the second group waiting at the airport for the second airdrop!
With the completion of the airborne landing of all members of the special operations brigade, the Japanese army, who did not expect this situation at all, can imagine what will happen!
