Chapter 120: The telegram can't be sent!
The Japanese army, which had dispatched two elite divisions to Indochina, naturally hoped to drive straight into the country and complete the actual occupation of the entire territory of Indochina as soon as possible. It is a pity that for the colonial army at this moment, they know very well how serious the consequences of being occupied by the Japanese are.
The first two offensive and defensive battles around Haiphong City had already cost the Japanese army dearly. As the governor of the colony, Louis and other high-ranking colonial officials knew what the tragic consequences would be if they fell into the hands of the Japanese.
Even the neighboring British colonial government knows the truth of cold lips and teeth. If the Japanese army were allowed to occupy the entire territory of Indochina, the British colonies adjacent to French Indochina could be attacked by the Japanese army at any time.
It was because of these concerns that the colonial governments of both countries quickly agreed to use some funds and weapons and ammunition to hire Nuvic to recruit mercenaries for them. In this way, the Japanese army attacking Indochina was depleted and pinned.
Even the two governments have realized that if they want to preserve their colonial interests in Asia, they must also intensify their efforts to woo the Nationalist government. Only by making the Nationalist Government continue to grow stronger can it rely on the anti-Japanese battlefield to contain a large number of elite divisions of the Japanese army.
Once the Japanese army has spare strength and draws a steady stream of elite troops from the anti-Japanese battlefield, then the army formed by the colonial government alone will not be able to resist the elite Japanese army at all. The naval and air forces of the two countries are even more unable to compete with the Japanese army.
Regarding these, Hu Biao sees it very clearly. For this reason, when Jean Nuvich negotiated with the governors of the two countries, the governors of both countries did not have much choice. Even England, which has a large number of servant mercenary armies, knows that their mercenary army must be unreliable.
On the contrary, on the side of Nuvic, there is a way to recruit a large number of elite soldiers from the side of the Nationalist Government who have actual combat experience and have fought against the Japanese army. Although the cost is a bit expensive, without Nuvic's help, they want to recruit such mercenaries, and there is no channel!
The new 3rd Division, which entered the Indochina colony in a fair and honest manner, three of the main regiments entered from the Funing side. Upon arrival at the temporary station, all units quickly changed their equipment and became familiar with the combat weapons provided by the British army.
At the same time, Hu Biao, who was looking at the combat map, also said directly: "Order the first division and start a roundabout outflanking." After the third division completed the reorganization, it immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese army, striving to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army's divisions all the way. ”
"Yes, wolfhead! And what about the other division of the little devils? ”
"Don't worry! As long as you don't take Indochina, the little devil won't give up so willingly. First go all out to encircle and annihilate the Japanese division and regiment that entered our encirclement, and the remaining Japanese division, as long as they are not stupid, they all know what to do. ”
"Understood!"
Gather three divisions of elite troops, and can't take the two divisions of the little devil, so there is no need to fight this battle in the future. If the two divisions of the Japanese army were completely annihilated at one time, it was very likely that the Japanese army would be scared away, and then there would be no battle in the future.
With the help of the little devil's threat to Indochina, Hu Biao was able to claim more benefits from the colonial government. Although it is a bit self-respecting, Hu Biao feels that this is the wisest choice.
For these colonial governments, they did not fail to kill donkeys. As long as the Japanese army does not withdraw from Indochina for a day, the colonial governments of the two countries will not dare to turn against them, and must rely on them to resist the full-scale invasion of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army, also aware of the change in the situation, also began to speed up their advance. Faced with this situation, Luis also repeatedly urged Nuvic to hurry up and send troops to block the attack. Otherwise, it will probably be too late.
After receiving the news from Louis, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "If nothing else, the Japanese army on Dagon's side must have bribed the senior officials of the colonial government, and they can control a lot of information." It is almost impossible to count on the secrecy of the colonial government.
Call Louis back, and in three days he will send his trained troops into battle. Then send a power to the 1st Division and the 1st Division of the 2nd Division, preparing to encircle and annihilate the Japanese divisions that entered the ambush. Another Japanese division, let the third division deal with it slowly! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
When the order was given, both Louis and the governor of the British colonies breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, the Japanese spies who kept an eye on the Governor's Palace, and after spending a lot of money, finally got the content of the encrypted telegram sent by Nuvich to Louis.
"Quick, immediately report this telegram and secret telegram to the combat troops!"
"Hey!"
As a result, it became clear that the new troops recruited by the colonial government would officially enter the war in three days. The two divisions of the Japanese army looked a little nervous. But more importantly, I began to discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity to encircle and annihilate these recruited troops.
The Japanese division, which was closest to the Third Division, was still on the offensive to attract the attention of the Third Division. The other division, however, suddenly changed the direction of the march and prepared to outflank and cooperate with the other division to encircle and annihilate the recruited troops.
In the eyes of the Japanese army, there were three days of preparation for the march, which was enough time for them to make a detour to the front of another division. When the troops recruited by the colony officially engaged another division of the Japanese army, the roundabout division launched a surprise attack from behind.
Although the idea was good, the Japanese division, which was trying to make a detour, began to set up camp and prepare to cross the jungle and rush to the front where the other division was. Qin Tianyou, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, the little devil really took the bait! It seems that the wolf head guessed correctly, in the governor's mansion of foreign devils, there should be high-level people who were bribed by the little devils to rebel. Otherwise, the little devil's reaction speed would not be so fast! ”
"Isn't that right? Speaking of which, we should also be grateful to the foreigner traitor who reported the news! ”
"Oh too! Order the troops, get ready for battle! Wait for the Japanese division to enter the ambush area, and immediately start a full-scale attack! ”
"Yes, Commander!"
In order to speed up the march, the whereabouts of the main force will also be hidden, and the Japanese divisions responsible for the roundabout do not carry too much bulky combat equipment. When they entered a relatively open plain, three flares flew into the air.
Just when the Japanese division realized that they were in ambush, countless heavy artillery fire flew from the mountains near the plain. One after another, powerful cannonballs began to explode in the marching ranks of the Japanese army, harvesting countless little devils in an instant.
"Yaga! Enemy attack! Damn, it's a trap! We were fooled! ”
Even realizing that this was a trap, the Japanese division did not have time to retreat. Along with the heavy artillery fire, there were ambushes around the plains of the valley. The passage in and out of the valley plain has been completely blocked, and the Japanese army has been unable to escape.
The remaining forces of the divisions and regiments that remained in the rear as bait and tried to confuse the colonial army, even if they received telegrams from the divisions, could not seek help at all. After all, for the sake of this ambush battle, the 1st Division has been on standby nearby for a long time.
After the shelling that lasted for nearly half an hour ended, Qin Tianyou immediately ordered: "Order the troops to attack and clear the remaining little devils on the plain." Send a telegram to the 4th Regiment and ask it to immediately launch an attack and completely drive the Japanese back to Haiphong City. ”
"Yes, Commander!"
After the shelling, the Japanese army, which had already suffered heavy losses, soon saw the elite of the first division surrounded from all sides. Looking at these troops wearing camouflage combat uniforms, the commander of the Japanese division was also shocked and said: "Baga! This is the regular army! ”
Although I don't know what kind of military uniform comes from. But the Japanese army has confirmed very much that this is an elite and professional regular army. However, during this time, most of those who resisted and disturbed their attacks were wearing ordinary people's clothes.
Occasionally, some of the colonial army's servants and mercenaries and Franco-Racian officers could be seen, which also led the Japanese to believe that those armed men dressed in civilian clothing were also recruited by the colonial army on the spot, but never saw regular troops.
Now that such a large number of troops has appeared, no matter how stupid the Japanese army is, they know that there are armed forces hidden on this side of Indochina, which they do not know. When the Japanese division was about to send a telegram, the operator said sadly: "Your Excellency, division commander, the telegram cannot be sent!" ”
"Na? Why is this happening? Didn't you protect the radio? ”
"Nope! There is strong electromagnetic interference nearby, and we simply cannot send a telegram! ”
Electronic warfare is also a new branch of troops formed by Hu Biao for the divisions under his command. Through this electromagnetic interference, it is also in a set area, so that the enemy cannot send telegrams calling for help or warning. In this way, it is better to hide its own strength.
Realizing that the radio was ineffective, the commander of the Japanese division could only order the troops to break through. However, in the face of the first division, which had been completely equipped with new equipment, the Japanese army sadly found that they were inferior to the first division in terms of combat quality and equipment.
"Na? How is this possible? Why can their rifles be loaded with 10 rounds? And firing so fast? ”
"Yaga! This force should be the mysterious force we have been looking for. What do you eat for? With such a well-armed armed force, why didn't they find out anything? ”
From military uniforms to weapons and equipment, no matter how stupid the Japanese army is, they can see that this is an elite unit that they have never come into contact with. However, such a hostile force, they did not even notice it at all. This shows how deeply this force is hidden.
Correspondingly, since this army dares to show up openly, it is certain that they will be completely annihilated when they enter the valley plain. When the battle is over, it will all be a mystery again. No one knows what is going on here.
As the Japanese expected, the battle, which lasted nearly two hours, was over, and the officers and men of the 1st Division, who had been inspected several times, had confirmed that there was not a single surviving little devil. The little devils who entered the valley plains were all annihilated.
Qin Tianyou, who received the report, quickly said: "Quickly clean up the battlefield, and all the little devils will dig pits and bury them." Those bomb craters that were blown up, also give me a good camouflage, and try not to let the little devil reconnaissance plane see the flaws! ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Qin Tianyou, who surrounded and annihilated the elite forces of a Japanese division, was somewhat dissatisfied. He hoped that some more troops would be sent to attack another division of the Japanese army, and strive to keep more little devils in the jungle area.
When the surviving little devils retreat to Haiphong City again, I believe that they should become more cautious when they organize an attack next time. Correspondingly, before the next batch of combat troops is raised, the wolf army can also develop with peace of mind for a while!
