Chapter Ninety-Four: Unfathomable
The Battle of Guinan, which lasted for several months, was finally declared to be closed by the reluctance of the Japanese army. The Gui army, which successfully blocked the Japanese army's continued advance into the hinterland, also paid a heavy price for it. The fighting on the front line ended, and the Japanese began to build a defensive line in the occupied area.
Although the Nationalist government had thought of driving the Japanese army out of Guinan and restoring the transportation and supply lines that had been cut off before the war. But after some discussion, Bai Chongxi, who participated in the meeting, also reluctantly said that it would be very difficult to recover the lost territory in Guinan.
Relying on the strong naval and air force strength, the Japanese forces occupying the coastal and border areas can devote more troops at any time. If you want to regain the lost territory, you must invest a large number of elite troops, and you must also be wary of the Japanese army increasing at any time.
In view of the fact that the Japanese army has completed the occupation of Qiong Island, it has even built air bases on several islands off the coast. Unless the Nationalist government is willing to devote more air force to counteroffensive operations, it will still be difficult to restore this transportation line.
In the final analysis, the external transportation and supply lines located in southern Guinan are too close to the coastline and are within the strike range of Japanese fighters at any time. The limited air force of the Nationalist Government made it difficult to confront enemy aircraft taking off from the sea.
Although the Japanese lost an aircraft carrier group in the open sea, the Japanese army later transferred a new aircraft carrier battle group from other places. And the Nationalist Government still does not know where the disappeared submarine formation came from.
The Japanese army, which had been searching the surrounding waters for several days, still failed to collect much effective intelligence. The Menian naval formation in Luzon, which had been suspected before, was also dismissed from suspicion by the Japanese army's special high school.
Thinking of the few ships that had been captured before, the Japanese army also felt that in this place in the southwest, they had repeatedly suffered great losses. Behind this series of defeats, there will inevitably be covert support from external forces, and the governments of the surrounding colonies will definitely be involved.
Unable to find the real culprit behind the scenes, the little devils hit their idea on the accomplice they speculated. If the colonial government that controls Indochina knew that the little devil thought like this, it might have been helpless to say, 'I was wronged'!
It's a pity that for the Japanese army at that time, they also needed an excuse to go to war. In view of the current uncertainty of the situation on the battlefield in Europe, the Japanese army is also waiting. Let's see if their allies can continue to outperform each other.
Once the allies gain the initiative on the battlefield, then the Fuso side will also declare war on the Asian side against the hostile side. If these opponents can seize their colonies in Asia, it will also play an extremely important role in Fuso's plan to dominate Asia.
Regarding the news that the Japanese army's special high school was frantically collecting military intelligence in Nanyang and other places, Hu Biao also heard some rumors through Shuo Rat's overseas intelligence station. As for the plans of the Japanese army for the next stage, Hu Biao knows better than anyone else.
The end of the Battle of Guinan also means the end of the 39th year and the 40th year is about to enter the 40th year. If Hu Biao's memory is correct, after the victory of Germany in the European battlefield, it also gave the Japanese army great courage to officially launch an invasion of the Indochina colony.
This also means that there is not much time left for Hu Biao and the wolf to fight armaments. For Hu Biao at this moment, he is looking forward to the Japanese army waving troops in Indochina, but he also hopes to plunder more fruits of victory from this war.
Seeing the caravan bound for Dagon continue on its way, Hu Biao only met with Dai Li in the tent for a while. So that when they finally came to their senses, the subordinates who were responsible for protecting Dai Li, did not know who Dai Li was talking to.
Until the caravan disappeared from sight, Hu Biao summoned a guard and said, "Inform the armed forces along the way and secretly protect this horse team." When the other party returns, you can also provide help within your ability, and you must not let the other party have an accident! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
Regarding the secret meeting between Hu Biao and Dai Li, apart from the personal guards brought by Hu Biao, not many people know about it. Even in the Shuo Rat Intelligence Group, the news that Dai Lian came to the southwest and went to Dagon was highly confidential.
Political strife aside, the military command also made a great contribution to dealing with the Japanese invasion. As the person in charge of the military command, Dai Li did make contributions to the Anti-Japanese War in collecting intelligence on the Japanese army.
Even Hu Biao knew very well that in the cities where Chinese settled in the Indochina colony, the military commanders also installed many spy personnel. Dai Li's visit to Indochina this time was also to strengthen the intelligence network and deepen cooperation with the colonial government.
The supply line through Guinan was cut off, and the Nationalist government urgently needed to restart other southwestern transportation and supply routes. As for the dense forest supply line currently led by Hu Biao, it seems to be a bit petty and cannot meet the material needs of the Nationalist government.
And Hu Biao also knew that the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which had just been built, would also officially undertake the arduous task of transporting overseas materials for the Nationalist Government. It would be extremely difficult for the Japanese army to completely block the material channels of the Nationalist Government.
Moreover, the changes in the current international situation have caused some countries to change their indifference to great concern for these wars of aggression launched by the Japanese army. In order to keep their colonies in Asia, they also needed the Nationalist government to contain the Japanese army.
To put it mildly, the full-scale outbreak of war in Europe also gave the Nationalist Government a chance to breathe. The loans and military aid applied for earlier from various countries will also be approved in the later stage. With money and materials, the national government will naturally be able to hold out longer.
Thinking of the expeditionary force that will fight in Indochina in the future, Hu Biao is also thinking in his heart: "The existence of the wolf army must always keep a low profile. Even if it fights in Indochina in the future, it must also take the form of local rebels.
Appropriately hiding some strength is also to accumulate more strength for post-war independence. The expeditionary force's entry into Burma to fight should have more advantages than disadvantages for the wolf army. I hope that my appearance will change some things and make those respectable soldiers suffer less. ”
In Hu Biao's plan, the wolf army will still act as an auxiliary force for the expeditionary force in the future. Even if the colonial government spent a lot of money and equipment to form an expeditionary force. But in Hu Biao's opinion, they pay more.
Hu Biao, who served in the southwest in his previous life, visited several martyrs' memorials built for the expeditionary force. Thinking of the monuments of the unknown martyrs in those cemeteries, Hu Biao also hoped that this time, he would sacrifice as little as possible and annihilate more Japanese troops.
When the little devils raise troops in Indochina in the future, Hu Biao will also strive to eliminate as many Japanese troops as possible. At least Hu Biao hopes to see that when the Japanese army announces its unconditional surrender in the future, there will be no little devils on the Indochinese side who can safely evacuate.
After being plagued in other people's territory for so long, a sentence of 'unconditional surrender' can save his life and return home. Such a cheap thing, Hu Biao definitely disagrees. And Hu Biao knows better that about this war of aggression, the little devil has always been unwilling to sincerely admit his mistakes.
If more of these young people recruited from Japan are eliminated overseas, it will become more difficult for Fuso to rise after the war. It doesn't matter what others think, at least in this life, Hu Biao and the little devil are dead.
Even if the war is over, Hu Biao will find a way to go to Fusang Island for a while. In addition to creating an astonishing killing figure, this war of aggression launched by the little devils in the previous life also plundered a lot of wealth belonging to China.
A large part of the antique relics that were unfolded in the Fuso Museum in later generations were looted from the war. If you don't snatch these things back, how can Hu Biao be willing?
When Hu Biao recalled some things in his previous life, he also made some calculations in his heart. Dai Li, who was back on the road, also seemed extremely uncalm in his heart. The content of the previous conversation really shocked Dai Li.
Even he believed that if Hu Biao relayed these words out, he was afraid that the one in Shancheng would also find it appalling. just thought of Hu Biao's deployment in the southwest at the moment, but Dai Li felt that Hu Biao should not lie to him in this matter.
Thinking of the end, Dai Li finally smiled bitterly: "This person's ambition is enough to be described as crazy." But I have to admit that if his ambition can be realized, maybe there will never be war in the southwest. As far as the country is concerned, it is no less than the merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory! ”
Earlier, the one in Shancheng was worried that Hu Biao would make something happen in the southwest, and even worried that Hu Biao would take advantage of the national turmoil to carry out the warlord secession. Unexpectedly, Hu Biao didn't have the idea of fighting at home, but set his sights on the colony of Ruoda.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the colony of Indochina is more desolate than the southwestern provinces of the country, and from time to time it creates some disputes. But Dai Li knew that there were a large number of Chinese people in this colony.
If there is a strong figure who integrates these scattered territories, then this seemingly desolate territory will also become a truly enviable paradise. Whether Hu Biao can do this, Dai Li will also wait and see.
After this secret meeting, Dai Li already felt an extremely important thing, that is, the information held by the military commander was far inferior to the strength displayed by Hu Biao. Hu Biao, who has always kept a low profile, has unfathomable strength.
Even the mysterious submarine formation, which is currently being secretly investigated by the military commanders, is suspected to be under the command of Hu Biao. Coupled with the fighter group that appeared in the sky over Longzhou before, Hu Biao's soft and hard power at this moment is afraid that even the Gui system cannot be compared.
In addition, the one in Shancheng revealed to Dai Li before that Hu Biao established a company in Meinia that made money every day. With sufficient financial resources and the support of foreign forces, coupled with the military strength that Hu Biao has accumulated and built, once there is a change in Indochina, Hu Biao can take advantage of the chaos to rise.
In the face of his subordinates' worries and inquiries, Dai Li always kept his mouth shut: "Regarding this matter, you should act as if nothing happened." Let's do what we came out this time first, and I have my own plans for the rest! ”
For Dai Li, he was good friends with Hu Biao earlier, and he also felt that Hu Biao was a potential stock, and he was brave and good at fighting, and he was a rare general. If he can have a good relationship, it will be extremely beneficial to him. And now, he must pay more attention.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Shancheng person, Hu Biao is a guy with wolf ambitions. But in both public and private, Dai Li felt that the advantages of befriending Hu Biao outweighed the disadvantages. can befriend Hu Biao, for him personally, he may also benefit immensely in the future!
