Now it seems that Jiang Haoran is still a little unreasonable in the allocation of troops, and overly believes in the ability of the two frontal forces to attack the fortifications, as a result, the rear troops successfully break through, but the front has not been able to open the gap for a long time, resulting in the battle being dragged on for too long, leaving the enemy with the opportunity for this counteroffensive.

The two of them smoked cigarettes with their own hearts, and after a long time, Liu He suddenly said hesitantly: "Boss, there is one more thing I have to tell you, but ...... Don't get too excited. ”

Jiang Haoran's expression was abrupt, and the expression on his face became more solemn, what even Liu He didn't dare to say would definitely not be a trivial matter, "You say, I'm not excited!" ”

Liu He gritted his teeth and said: "The news just came from the intelligence department that Zhang Linghu went with a group to rescue Tang Enbo. ”

"What?" Jiang Haoran slapped the case and said angrily: "Against him Zhang Linghu, Lao Tzu killed him!" ”

Liu He hurriedly said: "General seat, don't be excited, don't worry, I don't think anything big will happen, after all, now Lu Han's First Army has reached the Sino-Vietnamese border, and there is still Tang Shihao with a regiment in the rear, even if the island army wants to enter our rear from Yuelan, it is not so easy, if Zhang Linghu can successfully join forces with Commander Tang, with the ability of the special operations division, it is possible to bring these two divisions out." ”

Jiang Haoran began to pace back and forth in the house, although what Liu He said was also reasonable, but because the starting point of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, Haiphong, is the Beibu Gulf Strait to the east, and it is not far from Hainan Island, the island army, the naval, land and air forces can assemble here at any time, if they launch another powerful surprise attack, with Lu Han's group army may be difficult to resist, and with the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to provide convenient transportation, the island army is really likely to train straight into the hinterland of Yunnan.

Although the current situation of the island army is not good enough for them to have the spare ability to attack, the opening of the northwest transportation line is a huge threat to the entire fascists, and it is worth their risk for this, so this is also the fundamental reason why Jiang Haoran would rather let Tang Enbo fend for himself than dare to transfer Zhang Linghu's support, after all, in addition to their troops in the rear, there are only some garrison troops left.

Seeing Jiang Haoran hesitate, Liu He said again: "It's really not good, can we still think of something from Liu Dakun and them?" ”

Jiang Haoran stopped and said: "No, Liu Dakun, they must not be transferred to this side again, I want them to clean up the remnants of the Southern Army of the Island Army as soon as possible, occupy the entire territory of Siam, and fully control the entire French India, restore all the airports and ports in the two places, and I must sail the navy into the South China Sea." ”

"Then what do you say now, if it really doesn't work, I'll send another message to Lu Han and ask him to stop Zhang Linghu?"

Jiang Haoran hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Forget it, let him go, Yunnan can only be handed over to Long Tian to find a way, but you have to tell Zhang Linghu, if he can bring Tang Enbo out of this matter, I can not pursue it, but if he fails, you tell him, come and see him." ”

"Eh, don't worry, I'll urge him!" Liu He immediately felt like he was burdened, but then said: "But the general seat, what should we do next, Nanning and Yulin are still fighting?" ”

Jiang Haoran took a long breath and said: "According to the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue, just in this square inch, the strength of the island army has increased to more than ten divisions and regiments, and the strength of the army is far more than 200,000, and so far, it has not been found that the establishment of a division is more than 100, that is to say, these more than a dozen divisions are all out-and-out elite divisions of the island army." In addition, their air base on Hainan Island has been built well, and now it has significantly strengthened its navy, and judging from our current strength, it is not much point to attack it. ”

"Are we going to let them build a second island chain defense?" Liu He's eyes widened, he had never seen Jiang Haoran admit defeat.

Jiang Haoran said: "Of course, we can't let them build a second island chain defense line, we just temporarily avoid the edge, and after Liu Dakun sweeps away the remnants of the island army on the French India, we will immediately step up the restoration of military ports and airports along the line, and when these airports and military ports are restored, the first batch of weapons and materials for the Allied forces to aid the Soviet Union should also arrive, and all aircraft and heavy artillery will be used to arm them, so that we have the basis for fighting for air supremacy with the island army, and then we will drive the East India Fleet on the Malay Peninsula over to compete with the island army for sea supremacy. In this way, we have the capital to continue to fight with them. ”

"Then this time will not be too short, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it in two or three months?"

"Now we are not afraid of wasting time with the little devils, as long as we can control the situation, we can delay as much as possible, the enemy's strength, we can develop armaments in all regions of Southeast Asia more justifiably, which is beneficial to our control of the whole of Southeast Asia, of course, the key is that we have to control the situation, we can't let the island army continue to advance to the southwest, if it threatens the security of the rear transportation line, then the impact will be great."

Liu He nodded and said, "Okay, I know how to do it, I'll go make a defensive plan." After Liu He finished speaking, he turned around and left.

At this point, the battle has basically come to an end, and the first round ended in Jiang Haoran's defeat, which is an indisputable fact.

All troops in Guangxi were to withdraw from the area of engagement to be on the defensive to prevent the enemy from advancing further.

The New Sixth Division, which was positioned relatively high, would also retreat to Rongxian and join forces with Zhong Bin's 71st Army and Xia Wei's 16th Army, blocking the enemy forces in the direction of Xinyi to the south, forming an encirclement posture against Yulin to the west, and forming a group with Liu Si's 42nd Army in the north.

As for the Guangdong Campaign, it is still continuing, because the island army has excessively shrunk its forces to support Guangxi, and Conghua, Zengcheng, Dongguan and even Huizhou in the north have all been recovered by the soldiers of the Fifth Theater.

And the morale of the soldiers is also unprecedentedly high, the domestic mainstream media are all long and full of their rhetoric that they will soon recover Guangzhou, which once made the Chinese people extremely excited, but also made everyone ignore the fact that the Guangxi campaign failed, however, there are also a large number of media analysis reports, this is Jiang Haoran's strategic policy, first take Guangdong, and then the two armies converge, heavy troops pressed to Guangxi.

Therefore, the defeat of the Guangxi Campaign did not have any impact on the enthusiasm and morale of the people and even the whole army in the War of Resistance against Japan, but on the contrary, there was a tendency to rise.

And these have a direct impact on the current construction of the northwest transportation line, the common people have sent the most effective labor force to the road construction site, women and the elderly are responsible for the logistics of serving tea and water, washing and cooking, a national road construction campaign in China is fully launched.
