Chapter 122 This is called lying down to win
For the Indochina colony, the Japanese army organized three groups of troops in a row, all of which ended in fiasco. Looking at the Matsuyama Division that finally broke through, the Japanese troops who came to meet them felt incredulous. Many officers and soldiers are no different from beggars.
Fortunately, compared with the commander of the Hase Division, who has not been heard from so far, the Japanese troops who have successfully broken through at this moment, in addition to their image being a little downcast, at least more than half of the officers and men have safely broken through.
In fact, the commander of the Matsuyama Division, who broke through safely, still feels a little incredible. A week earlier, he had finally made up his mind to retreat and break through, only to be ambushed by a large number of armed men, and the entire division suffered heavy losses.
In order to preserve the strength of the division, the commander of the Songshan Division finally decided to break through the siege in a scattered manner. In his opinion, if the division and regiment move in groups, it is easier to attract an ambush by armed men. If you disperse and break through, you can make the attacker take care of one thing and lose the other.
Sure enough, the harassing forces that had originally gathered together soon launched a siege and interception. The infantry brigade, which was responsible for protecting the division, finally fulfilled its mission and escorted their division commander out safely.
The rest of the Japanese troops who broke through with squadrons or brigades, although they were harassed to a certain extent, most of them withdrew safely. After summarizing the situation, the commander of the Matsuyama Division felt that the raiders seemed to have deliberately released the water.
Regarding his analysis, the commander of the Japanese army in charge of the Indochina campaign also said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible!" According to the latest information we have, the man who recruited armed men for the colonial government was a very greedy war broker.
Maybe in that guy's eyes, if he pushes us too hard, he will lose the opportunity to make money with the colonial government in the future. Although this speculation is somewhat hateful, it can explain why you were able to break through safely this time! ”
"Your Excellency, what next, Commander? The situation on this side of Indochina is extremely complicated, and we don't know much about the situation in the jungle areas. A lot of information was provided by the special high school earlier, but some of the information was completely invalid! ”
"Yes! The special high school is trying to find a way to send additional spy personnel into Indochina. However, judging from the current feedback, there is an unknown armed force in the Indochina region, which has been working against us, and the spies sent have suffered heavy losses! ”
"Your Excellency, do you think this armed force will be that damn war broker?"
"There is no definite information yet, and the special high class still needs time to investigate. However, the situation of the war broker has basically been figured out by the special high class. That guy came from a down-and-out White Russian aristocratic family, and it took nearly two years to suddenly appear! ”
"White Russian nobles in exile?"
"Yes! According to the information obtained by the Special High School, this person has close cooperation with the military in China, and the specific object of cooperation is still under investigation. The recruited militants were all veterans who had escaped from the Chinese army. ”
"Yaga! If this person is so hateful, why doesn't the special high school take action against him? Kill this damn guy! ”
As a result, to the surprise of the commander of the Songshan Division, the commander beside him shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Do you think that the special high class is not organized?" In fact, the Special High School organized several assassination attempts, but none of them were successful, and instead attracted the man's frenzied revenge.
Under him, there is a group of experienced and well-equipped mercenaries, all of whom are of the same race as him. And there is no foreigner around him, and it is difficult for strangers to get close! ”
After listening to the commander's explanation, the commander of the Matsuyama Division also completely remembered the name White Bear Vicky. If Nuvic knew that he was jealous and hated, he would also say with a look of grievance: "I'm just a part-time worker!" The real big guy, there are other people! ”
To this day, Hu Biao, who is also on the focus list of the special high school class, has never given up the investigation. It's just that the spy personnel of the special high school don't know that Hu Biao, who they are tracking, is not in China at all.
A new round of Japanese offensive operations ended again with the Songshan Division breaking through and returning to the vicinity of Haiphong City. Not long after, Louis, as the governor of the Indochina colony, reported the news to the government-in-exile again.
Unsaid, Louis and the corresponding participants were rewarded by the government-in-exile. Although some money was spent, for many officials and officers who were promoted and rewarded, this kind of credit is equivalent to lying down!
For a time, Veky undoubtedly became the guest of honor of these colonial officials again. Everyone knows that they were not the ones who really defeated the Japanese army this time, but the White Bear Vicky, who had great energy and could recruit a large number of elite armed personnel.
Three groups of combat troops were dispatched, but in the end they all returned in vain, and the Japanese military cabinet was naturally extremely dissatisfied. But what if you are dissatisfied? Who let them need combat troops everywhere at the moment, and they can't gather more elite combat troops?
Just when someone proposed to organize another group of elite combat units, the Japanese cabinet suspended the battle plan. The Japanese felt that by continuing their assault on the Indochina colony, they might be able to find a way to break through from elsewhere.
This breakthrough point is the British colony that they dare not offend at present. Dagon is not too far from the coastline, and if the Japanese army surprises the army, it may be able to capture Dagon in one fell swoop and capture the Indochinese governor Louis who is hiding there.
Moreover, the Japanese Cabinet felt that it would be better to reserve more time for the general increase of troops with its tactics of adding fuel. Wait until they have gathered enough troops to move forward in one fell swoop. Any troops that dare to resist will be completely routed by them.
This decision made by the Japanese military cabinet was naturally unknown to Hu Biao, who was far away in Zhenning Mansion. Seeing that the little devil who took over Haiphong City finally came down honestly, Hu Biao was also happy to be quiet, and ordered the troops to continuously expand their power around the settlement.
The aborigines, who had been occupied by the Japanese for a period of time and had been frantically looted, finally knew who was good to them. Through the tragic experience of these aborigines, the propaganda team under the command of the wolf army began to publicize the brutality of the Japanese army in various cities.
As a result, it is clear that the aborigines, who had previously felt that they could finally regain their freedom without the French colonists, were now even more afraid. Some rebel groups with slogans of independence soon gained more support from the people.
In response to these rebel forces, Hu Biao also focused on suppressing the armed forces that refused to cooperate with him through the colonial army under his control. The independent armed forces that can really survive and develop are all secretly supported by Hu Biao without exception.
And the commanders of these independent armed forces are also the descendants of Hu Biao who were sent to the colonies earlier. When the time comes, Hu Biao will also order these seemingly incompatible independent armed alliances, and then negotiate with the colonial government.
In short, from beginning to end, Hu Biao never thought of standing in front of the stage, and was more willing to stay behind the scenes. As long as the military power is firmly in his hands, Hu Biao is not afraid of someone seizing power. If you dare to be half-hearted, Hu Biao will also be cleared with iron blood!
As the number of troops and civilians moving to Indochina grew, Hu Biao had to think about the safety of these people. Those who have two hearts betrayed not only Hu Biao, but the countless people who trusted Hu Biao and moved here.
The war in Indochina has calmed down, and the little devil seems to be very honest, controlling several small cities not far from Haiphong City, and he does not dare to venture again. The officers and men of the new 3rd Division, which succeeded the 2nd Division, also deployed vigilant guerrillas nearby.
As long as the little devil dares to cross the defense area, the officers and men of the new third division will unceremoniously encircle and annihilate him. After a long time, the little devils stationed in several small cities seemed to know that their defense area was limited to the vicinity of the station, and they could be attacked if they went farther.
Some aborigines living near the Japanese garrison also began to flee their homes with their families after seeing the true face of the Japanese army. For these indigenous people, they feel that if they continue to stay, their families may be ruined at any time.
As a result, it was obvious that seeing that there were fewer and fewer people near the station, the Japanese army also had a great headache. Sometimes, if you want to build some fortifications or build roads, you have to find a way to arrest laborers from other places, and there is no land to grab if you want to grab food.
At this time, in the North China Plain, the anti-Japanese war troops led by the Eighth Route Army set off a vigorous round of 100 regiment battles. After receiving the secret report from Shuo Rat, Hu Biao also knew that this was a large-scale retaliation action by the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army.
Upon learning of this news, Hu Biao immediately instructed the Malingshan base to continue to provide a certain amount of weapons, ammunition and materials to the Eighth Route Army. Among them, the medicines that the Eighth Route Army must urgently need were delivered to the Eighth Route Army Defense Area in the form of donations.
Mr. Zhu, who received these donations, was also very happy and said: "It seems that our Mr. Hu is very supportive of our actions!" ”
"Yes! According to the telegram sent by the Qiongdao Column, it seems that Mr. Hu's guerrilla force developed earlier in Guinan has entered the French Indochina region. The previous Japanese army suffered repeated defeats in Indochina, and it is very likely that it was his handiwork! ”
Listening to the staff officer's report, Mr. Zhu thought for a while and said, "As long as it's a little devil, is it a fight there?" Now I think this Mr. Hu is very smart! The domestic situation is indeed very complicated, but the colony does not have so many worries! ”
"In the southwest, do we want to further strengthen the building of the anti-Japanese armed forces?"
"Isn't the Qiongdao Column developing well? I attacked several mines of the Japanese army before, and I heard that the combat force has exceeded nearly 10,000 people. As long as we maintain this momentum, this column can also become a wonder soldier for us in the future! ”
Regarding some of Hu Biao's situation, because he often dealt with the Qiongdao Column, the Eighth Route Army knew better than the Nationalist Government. As the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu knew very well what Hu Biao was planning.
But Mr. Zhu still feels that if Hu Biao's plan can be successful, it will actually be beneficial to the country and the people. At least from beginning to end, Hu Biao did nothing to harm the country and the people, and wholeheartedly supported the anti-Japanese forces of all parties.
The sudden launch of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments by the Eighth Route Army undoubtedly diluted the attention of the Japanese army. The Japanese army, which originally wanted to transfer combat units from North China, had to continue to retain these troops in order to cope with the large-scale sabotage war launched by the Eighth Route Army.
In this case, Hu Biao felt that the Japanese army would raise troops in Indochina again, and it was estimated that it would have to wait until the end of the year. Taking advantage of this opportunity, maybe he should encroach on some more territory, expand the sphere of influence of the wolf army, and prepare in advance for future wars!
