Chapter 109: Everything is under control
The Japanese army, which received a very positive promise from its allies and was also worried about the long night, finally decided to launch an attack on the Indochina colony ahead of schedule. As far as the Japanese army was concerned, the Battle of Guinan failed to achieve the expected goal, which was indeed very disappointing for the Japanese army.
At present, if the entire Indochina region can be controlled, the strategic goods transported from Indochina to the rear of the Nationalist Government can be effectively controlled. For the Japanese army at this moment, they have already felt that the war has entered the stage of stalemate, and the pressure is indeed too great.
Compared with China, which is a large land and a lot of things, even if the Japanese army already has many colonies, it is almost impossible to achieve victory in a short time. The most troublesome and unwilling thing for the Japanese army was the determination of the soldiers and civilians in the Chinese War of Resistance, which seemed to be improving day by day.
Even if the Japanese army came up with a new way to prop up a new puppet government and try to dismantle and divide the Nationalist government. But judging from the current situation, the effect still does not seem to be obvious. Through this war, everyone already knows the wolf ambitions and intentions of the Japanese army.
As Hu Biao predicted, if the Japanese army wanted to fully invade Indochina, it must have a forward supply station. As a naval power, Haiphong City is undoubtedly the best landing and supply place, and it is also the most convenient for the Japanese army to carry out landing operations.
Secondly, the Japanese army wanted to raid Haiphong City, and it was more likely to intercept various strategic materials in the city. In the eyes of the Japanese army, once they can force the colonial army in the city to surrender, then the results they can obtain will also be extremely rich.
Compared with the naval fleet, which had to be transferred from other places for landing operations, the Japanese army transferred army combat units stationed on Qiongdao and Guinan. In particular, the army stationed in Guinan advanced directly to Haiphong City by land.
When the Japanese army began to make moves, Hu Biao, who had been monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, quickly said: "Send a report to General Bai Chongxi to inform the Japanese army of the latest military movements." Let him gather his troops and prepare to regain the lost ground! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
As far as Hu Biao is concerned, he also arranged a division of elite troops on the Guinan side, plus other guerrillas located in various places, and it is still no problem to recover some county towns with empty troops, but that is completely unnecessary.
As far as the current situation is concerned, his cooperation with the Gui family is very smooth, and the two Gui generals, Li and Bai, also showed a cooperative and even co-opting attitude towards Hu Biao. In a short period of time, Hu Biao will also need to work more closely with some domestic generals.
As the Japanese army began to move, the Japanese infantry wing, which had been stationed in Longzhou for some time, immediately advanced in the direction of Indochina. To the great surprise of the Japanese army, when they arrived at the area where the colonial army was stationed, they found that they had been warned.
"Yaga! It seems that if you want to make them succumb, the only way is to attack! ”
Originally, in the eyes of the Japanese army, it might be able to force down these low-fighting colonial troops. Unexpectedly, the officer who sent out to shout was directly shot down by someone. Even the other party gave a very severe alarm to them to withdraw from the cordon.
Along with the Japanese attack, the colonial army, which was responsible for the defense, also put up a resolute resistance. However, as the Japanese army expected, the resistance of the colonial army was short-lived. After several rounds of attacks, the colonial army was crushed.
Looking at the fleeing colonial army in a hurry, the captain of the Japanese infantry wing led the team was very satisfied: "Yo! The combat effectiveness of these colonial armies is really vulnerable. Order the troops, continue the pursuit, and directly hit the city of Haiphong! ”
"Hey!"
The infantry wing that served as the vanguard was victorious, and the Japanese combat units that were assembled later also advanced into the colonies controlled by Franco-French. Bai Chongxi, who received the news in advance, was very happy and said: "The little devil really did it!" ”
"General, should we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack?"
"No hurry! Even if you want to fight back, you have to wait for the little devil's strength to be the emptiest. Besides, on the front line of the border, the little devil is afraid that he will not be able to bargain too much. This will win, maybe it's someone's trick to lure the troops in! ”
"What do you mean?"
"Ignore that! Pass my orders and assemble our elite troops. As soon as the battle changes in the front, we will immediately attack the Japanese army, recover the territory occupied by the little devils, and completely drive the little devils out of our territory. ”
"Yes, General!"
I didn't quite understand why Hu Biao was actively preparing for war since the end of the year. Moreover, Bai Chongxi also knew that some time ago, there were many unknown armed forces passing through the defense area controlled by the Gui army. These unidentified forces were actually troops transferred by Hu Biao from the south.
It can be seen that Hu Biao had long guessed that the little devil would do something to Indochina. There is a calculating and unprepared, and the little devil wants to occupy Indochina, I am afraid that he will have to pay a heavy price. Everyone knows that Hu Biao fights a little devil, but he will not be soft at all!
Major Peake, who was preparing for battle in Haiphong City, received a telegram from the border defense force and said in surprise: "Damn it! The troops of a regiment did not hold out for half a day. What did our troops do? ”
On the contrary, Nuvic, who was sitting on the side, smiled and said: "Pique, in fact, you should have guessed that there would be such a result." As I said, not everyone has the courage to defend the dignity and honour of Francis.
What's more, many of the defense forces you have deployed on the border are mercenary troops, right? How effective those troops are, don't you know? On the other hand, the Japanese troops who attacked you, they all have a wealth of actual combat experience! ”
When Nuvic said this, Major Peake also felt a panic on his face. After thinking for a while, he said: "The border defense line has been breached, so should we deploy defensive troops?" Once they are inserted, we will be very passive! ”
Hearing this, Nuvic smiled and said, "Pique, have you forgotten that we still have reinforcements!" Don't worry, I promised you that as long as we hold on to Haiphong City for two days, we will be able to evacuate here safely.
As for these trespassers who trespass and do not declare war, someone will clean them up for us. This time, we will definitely let the people of Fuso know whose territory it is. If you want to invade us, you must pay the price! ”
As Nuvic said, he didn't have to worry at all about the Japanese troops who drove straight to Haiphong City by land. In another operations office, Lei Xiong was also listening to a report from his subordinates.
Regarding the defeat of the colonial army after failing to resist for too long, Lei Xiong also shook his head directly: "As the wolf head expected, it is really a pipe dream to expect these foreign devils to deal with the little devils." Notify the White Bear Commando to collect the rout!
At the same time, a telegram was sent to the special operations brigade, hoping that they would send an attack force to delay and contain the previous troops of the little devil as much as possible. If you have the chance, you may be able to negotiate with the Third Regiment and take out this infantry wing. ”
The chief of staff who stayed on the side said with a smile: "Division commander, it is estimated that the wolf head will not allow it." If we completely annihilate this infantry wing, the little devils who will be assembled in the future will not dare to continue to enter. What we have to do is to cast a long line to catch big fish.
When most of the troops gathered by the little devils enter the colony, the first division will launch an attack from the flanks and directly attack Longzhou and other places where the little devils are used as a transit station. As soon as the division moves, the little devil will fall into a very passive situation.
Most of their troops stationed in Guinan were deployed in the combat area bordering the Gui army. Returning from the front line, the Gui army was ready to attack at any time and would definitely launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese army.
If the troops are transferred back from the colony, how can the troops we have deployed there in advance be able to let him return with peace of mind? In fact, from the moment the little devils stepped into the colony, their fate was doomed! ”
As the chief of staff explained the situation on the battlefield, Lei Xiong also sighed: "Yes! When the wolf army issued an order to prepare for war, we felt anxious to wait. But who knew how quickly the situation would change.
Most importantly, the situation in Indochina, as well as the movement of Japanese troops, seemed to be expected by the wolf's head. And what we have to do is to carry out the task assigned by the wolf head well. This battle is indeed very easy! ”
"Commander, you can't have such thoughts! The wolf head is in charge of the overall situation, and we are the main force to deal with the attack of the little devils. This battle is also related to the honor of our Second Division. The first division has the honor of encircling and annihilating a mixed brigade, but we don't have it! ”
"That's right! Or, let's also work hard to get rid of the little devil a division? ”
In this case, if others hear it, they will definitely think that Lei Xiong is bragging. But for Lei Xiong, it may be difficult to encircle and annihilate an integrated division. But if you really want to fight, the number of people who destroy the Japanese army reaches a division, I think it is still possible.
In any case, the establishment of their division was also formed according to the division of the Japanese army. In addition, they built complete fortifications in advance, and they occupied a geographical advantage, is it really difficult to eliminate the little devils of a division?
When the Japanese fleet, which had been ordered to participate in the attack, arrived outside Haicheng Harbor, the fleet commander was also extremely cautious. The reason is that the submarine force that attacked the aircraft carrier formation has not been found so far, and no one knows where it is hidden.
What made the fleet commander even more depressed was that the special high school that had always been in contact with him had lost contact completely. This also means that he doesn't know what the situation is in Haiphong City at all!
"Did the reconnaissance plane send out?"
"It's been sent out! General, according to what we have learned, Faransi's fleet has fled. Let's drive straight over, I'm sure they won't be able to resist either, right? ”
"Yaga! Don't be careless! Have you forgotten the aircraft carrier group that was attacked last year? Order the outer frigates to pay close attention to the situation at sea and around the fleet, and beware of possible submarine sneak attacks! ”
"Hey!"
"From the sudden withdrawal of Faransi's fleet, it can be seen that our plan for a surprise attack is likely to be exposed. Originally, I wanted to capture this fleet of Faransi, but now it seems that it is unlikely! ”
For the naval formations that had been ordered to cooperate with the landing operation, they were really eager to confront the fleet sent to the colonies by Francis. For the navy of the little devils, they are also in urgent need of actual combat. But on the Asian side, it really doesn't seem to be able to find an opponent!
