Chapter 186: Maritime Containment

Even many people can see that it is only a matter of time before the defeat of the Axis powers. But Hu Biao knew very well that when history basically did not deviate too much, the Axis powers were less than a year away from surrendering.

There are some things that might cause too much unnecessary trouble if they were done while the Axis powers were victorious. Before the Allied countries could not take care of themselves, they would take de facto control over the entire southwestern colony.

In that case, even if you are not afraid of ripping in the future, the longer you talk about it, the more confident Hu Biao will be. At least Hu Biao is convinced that the English side, which has just ended a big war, believes that it will not dare to easily provoke a transcontinental war!

In the final analysis, the one who benefited the most from World War II was still neutral first and then joined. It was precisely because of this war that Menia and the Soviet Union began to replace the previous European powers such as England and become the new world hegemon.

The interests of the southwestern colonies are also deeply involved with Menia. If you don't expect Menia to help, as long as Menia adopts a neutral policy, Hu Biao is not afraid of Yingli, who can only talk about it. Compared to the southwestern colonies, the Indian colonies were more difficult to manage.

Since the end of World War II, the colonies have become more and more aware of their resistance to colonization, and the slogans of independence have been shouted endlessly. Those independent armed forces that can only chant slogans can eventually win the opportunity for independence, not to mention the wolf army that is not weak?

As the Second Division used the first-generation rocket artillery developed and formulated by the military factory for the first time, in just a few tens of seconds, hundreds of rockets were instantly dumped into the Japanese positions that were caught off guard. What followed was the assault of the infantry of the 2nd Division.

The Japanese troops, who had already ordered to withdraw from their positions one after another, became even more chaotic at the moment. When the Japanese defensive position was broken through, the commander of the Japanese division, who was still planning to take the main force away, also had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

"Yaga! Damn, how can these Chinese armies have Soviet rocket artillery? ”

"General, now is not the time to pursue this kind of problem, let's retreat quickly! If we don't retreat, we will most likely be surrounded. Now the troops have been scattered, and the positions can no longer be held! ”

At the urging of the staff officer, the commander of the Japanese division could only retreat by car, and the little devils who were scattered later could only use their strength to rush away. After successfully recovering the oil field area, Lei Xiong immediately ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

Seeing that there were finally no pursuers behind him, the Japanese officers and soldiers who had successfully escaped finally collapsed on the side of the road. Some officers also began to order the gathering of troops, striving to gather more troops so that they could safely evacuate to the rear.

The commander of the Japanese Front, who was also about to board the ship and leave at any time, received a telegram from the commander of the division stationed in the oil field area, and said with a shocked face: "What about it? The Chinese army used rocket artillery? Did the Soviets even sell such weapons? ”

The Japanese army, which was concerned about the movements of the Soviet army, naturally knew that the Soviet army had developed a very terrifying artillery. In addition to its super-fast rate of fire, it also has a very strong maneuverability, which is extremely difficult to guard against.

Upon learning of this information, the Japanese army also sent spies to try to obtain relevant weapons manufacturing technology. As a result, it is clear that the Soviet army has always kept the development of rocket artillery in a state of high secrecy, and the Japanese army has not been able to succeed at all.

No one expected that even the Allied forces could not develop rocket artillery, but now there is an expeditionary force to attack them. This was indeed beyond the expectations of the commander of the Japanese front, and he even suspected that the Soviet army had reached a secret agreement with the Nationalist government.

As far as the current Japanese army is concerned, even if they already know that Hu Biao does not have an independent division under his command. But the Japanese army still didn't know that the boss behind the real control of the French colony was actually Hu Biao, a deeply hidden wolf head.

The most important thing is that even if the troops and control areas continue to expand, Hu Biao still attaches great importance to the secrecy system. As far as the recruits who join the army are concerned, the first thing they learn when they join the army is the secrecy system, and they know how big the crime of leaking secrets is.

Under normal circumstances, some classified intelligence, ordinary soldiers do not know. The officers who are qualified to know the inside story are all Hu Biao's henchmen without exception. If the Japanese army wants to buy it, it will often lose more than it gains.

If the oilfield area was broken overnight, all forces could see Hu Biao's strong strength. Then during the day, the wolf army dispatched fighters to cooperate with the troops outside Tonggu City to attack, and the forces of all parties knew that the strength of the wolf army was beyond imagination.

Land and air combat coordinated tactics, the wolf army is still fighting impressively. What is especially surprising to all countries is that the weapons and equipment of the wolf army are no less than the strongest armies of other countries. Mortars, already equipped to platoon combat units.

Coupled with the bazooka as a sharp weapon, most of the bunkers and fortifications built by the Japanese army were solved by the bazooka with one shot. Seeing that the forward defensive positions had been breached, the Japanese troops stationed in Tonggucheng knew that it was time to retreat quickly.

Like the 2nd Division, the main division of the Wolf Army captured Tonggucheng, and then ordered to rest and take over the towns abandoned by the Japanese army. This was followed by a large convoy of supplies that soon entered the towns.

When the local soldiers specially drawn from the army by the wolf army began to spread propaganda to the local people, telling them that the military government that had taken over the town would give them relief, these people cheered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the various departments of the wolf army, which had a good grasp of the people's hearts, handed over the post-war reconstruction work to the city defense troops who came later, and the main combat units, and continued to move forward after a short rest.

In order to ensure the safe evacuation of all personnel and materials in the colony, the commander of the Japanese Front immediately decided to transfer a batch of looted materials and wealth from the colony first, and sent several warships to escort the ship.

As the warships and transports left the harbor and prepared to sail for the South Seas colony, which was still under Japanese control. Not long after leaving the harbor, the Japanese warship that was sailing soon saw a reconnaissance plane appearing in the air.

The captain of the Japanese ship, who was in charge of observation, said with a little confusion: "Huh? Is it our water reconnaissance aircraft? Did they send warships to meet us? How do I think that this water reconnaissance plane seems to be a little wrong! ”

Not long after the water reconnaissance plane discovered the Japanese fleet and quickly reported the situation, Lin Haoyuan, the commander of the Sea Eagle Fleet, who had been on standby in the nearby waters for a long time, said with a serious expression: "Inform the fleet and sound the battle alarm!" Get ready for war! ”

"Yes, Chief!"

In order to distinguish the identity of Lin Haoyuan from other captains, Lin Haoyuan regarded himself as the commander-in-chief during the battle. At the same time, it was the second Seawolf submarine team that received the order, and they also locked on the Japanese warship that was escorting the delivery ship.

"Silence at first, wait for the prey to enter the ambush zone, and immediately attack. Inform the boats that only one torpedo is allowed to be fired, and then quickly dive. The follow-up hunting plan was handed over to Chief Lin. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The Japanese ships that escorted the ships on both sides were still cautious by protecting several freighters carrying large quantities of supplies and wealth in the middle. More often than not, the Japanese were vigilant in the air, fearing a surprise attack from the air.

But no one expected that when the six large and small warships entered the ambush area of the submarine formation, one submarine after another surfaced, adjusted the angle of attack, and successively launched torpedoes that had been prepared early in the morning.

At the same time, the Japanese lookouts on the warship also began to exclaim: "Submarine! There are submarines next to it! Alarm, sound the alarm immediately! Damn, they fired torpedoes! The submarine has torpedoed us! ”

Piercing sirens sounded, and the officers and men of the warship began to panic. Because there were not many little devil warships escorting the ship, almost two submarines in the submarine formation hunted one warship at the same time, and dived immediately after the torpedo was fired.

No one thought about whether the torpedo succeeded in hitting the target, but more often decided to distance itself from the Japanese fleet. It's daytime, and once the little devil warship is not hit and starts to strike at the submarine, the submarine formation is in danger.

The Japanese freighter, located in the center of the fleet, also saw the changes that had occurred on the warship. As a warship was successfully hit by a torpedo and exploded, the crew of these freighters who had been recruited by the Japanese began to tremble with fear.

Once they lose the protection of warships, they will be left to the mercy of men, and even be sunk by submarines and buried in the sea. Of the six escorted warships, four were hit by a round of concentrated fire strikes by the submarine formation.

One of the warships with a smaller tonnage, even more 'lucky', was hit by two torpedoes, and the wounds that were torn open began to pour into the endless sea. What frightened the Japanese fleet even more was the appearance of several warplanes in the sky.

"Enemy planes! There are enemy planes! Prepare for air defense! Prepare for air defense! ”

I was going to make trouble with a sneak attack submarine, but I saw torpedo planes and fighters that were about to fly above the fleet. Once these fighters flew over the battleship, the fate of the waiting fleet could be imagined.

If the appearance of these planes made all the officers and men of the Japanese fleet realize that they were very likely to die at the bottom of the sea this time. Then the sentry in charge of the lookout on the high platform was completely dumbfounded.

Wiping his eyes in disbelief, he immediately roared angrily: "An unknown fleet has been found ahead!" An unknown fleet has been spotted ahead! ”

Unknown fleet?

The sentry's words made the Japanese commander of the warship look a little puzzled. On this side of the Manda Sea, no Allied fleets have been found, so the so-called unknown fleets continue to emerge from there?

It wasn't until the warplanes that flew above the fleet began to launch air strikes on the two warships that had been lucky enough to escape. The fleet, which was gradually revealed, finally appeared in the eyes of the Japanese fleet. Nearly 20 warships, large and small, really surprised the Japanese army.

What surprised the Japanese even more was that an officer said: "Captain, those two cruisers seem to be the battleships that we lost before!" ”

"Na? Yaga, sure enough! Damn, our battleship was not sunk, but stolen! ”

The fleet commander, who said this, also felt a little blushing. Even warships can be stolen, which has to be said to be a very shameful thing. But the fleet commander is more curious, which force does this fleet belong to? And from there?
