Chapter 320: It's hard to coexist peacefully

Shortly after the landing operation began, the sea reinforcements escorted by many warships were planted in the hands of the Xinghua army. After this news spread, it really shocked the Japanese troops stationed in Indochina, and also surprised the Allies.

But what really shocked the forces of all parties was that the Xinghua Army used the submarine wolf pack penetration tactic, which was very difficult to guard against in this battle. Even the Allies were surprised, where did the submarines of the Xinghua Army come from.

The Xinghua Army stationed in Nanyang had submarines under its command, and both the Allies and the Japanese knew about it. However, the submarine formation appeared in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea and raided the Japanese naval escort formation, but it was beyond everyone's expectations.

From this point, it can also be analyzed that the Xinghua Army already has a submarine force under the command of a well-formed and quite large number of submarines. This also means that in the future, if the Japanese army and the Allies want to raid the garrison of the Xinghua Army, they must also be on guard against submarines lurking at the bottom of the sea at any time.

When the news of this battle reached the Allied command in Australia, the commander of the American army, MacArthur, was also amazed: "Incredible! It has only been a long time for the strength of the Xinghua Army to grow to such a point.

Now, it seems, we know too little about them. From this war report, it is almost confirmed that the Xinghua Army has mastered the technology of building its own submarines. In this way, it is also necessary to pay more attention to them. ”

"General, self-built submarines, do they have the technology? According to the information we know, their shipyard in Davao Harbor can only build some seaborne ships of several hundred tons, not even thousand-ton warships. ”

Listening to the questioning of his staff officers, MacArthur looked up and said, "That shipyard in Davao City is just for deception. The real role of this shipyard is to accumulate shipbuilding talents.

Now it can almost be inferred that this Chen Yonghua went to Mindanao back then, but he was afraid that he had already planned something. In just a few years, the troops under his command have developed so rapidly, which is truly amazing! ”

"What do the generals mean, do we need to stifle their development?"

"How to curb it? At the moment our worst enemy has not yet been defeated, and we can only win him over. It's just that I'm starting to worry a little now, and when we return to the Philippines, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to coexist peacefully with them.

As for the situation of the Xinghua Army, I will ask our intelligence department to pay close attention. In any case, we need to be vigilant about them. But one thing you have to keep in mind is that you can't make enemies with them for the time being, you know what I mean? ”

"Understood, General!"

As the Supreme Allied Commander in charge of the war in the Pacific, MacArthur was well aware that the Allies had gained superiority on the battlefield, but they could not rest up. The stubborn resistance of the Japanese army and the background of the war also gave him a headache.

At present, in the Asian battlefield, the role of the Chinese anti-Japanese war forces is self-evident. Although there is no direct evidence to prove the relationship between the Xinghua Army and the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Army, it is an indisputable fact that the Xinghua Army was dominated by Chinese.

In this case, if you have a bad relationship with the Xinghua Army, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction. Once the Japanese army now decides to withdraw from China and concentrate all its efforts on confronting the Allied forces, it will also be a huge blow to the Allied forces.

Regarding these reactions from the allied side, Zhao Tiehu had been prepared from before formulating the battle plan. However, he believed that neither the Japanese army nor the Allied forces would dare to attack the Xinghua Army lightly at this time.

The more muscles the Xinghua Army flexed, the easier it was to deter the Allies and the Japanese. Wandering between the Allies and the Japanese army, the Xinghua Army can grow out of the cracks. Only by waiting for the end of the war can we ensure that our interests are not harmed.

After receiving the good news from the first division, Zhao Tiehu also said happily: "Liu Liming, this kid has done a good job!" To generate electricity to the submarine formation, in my name, to award the submarine formation a collective second-class combat merit. The rest of the rewards will be evaluated after the battle! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

When Zhao Tiehu awarded the submarine formation a collective second-class meritorious service, all the submarine officers and men who participated in the war were very happy. According to the earlier military reform, in addition to the large bonuses for second-class military exploits, there are also great honorary awards.

By virtue of this second-class merit, officers and men who will participate in the war in the future will also be able to receive great preferential policies from the local government in business or agriculture after they retire from the war. And this kind of merit is more and more precious for the collective form!

In the commendation telegram, Zhao Tiehu also gave the submarine detachment a new combat mission, leaving a small number of vigilant submarines, and the rest of the combat submarines of the formation were all transferred to the waters near the Gulf of Siam to stand by.

With this fiasco, it will be very difficult for the Japanese army to reorganize a naval combat force. At present, the closest naval formation to the Xinghua Army is the Thai Navy Formation docked in Thai waters.

Although Zhao Tiehu has already sent people to contact the senior military and political officials in Thailand, hoping that they will not participate in this war, and even cause chaos to the little devils. Get rid of the little devils who have seized their land, and let Thailand restore true democracy and freedom.

But this kind of idea is afraid that it will not be possible in a short time. After all, many of the top military and political leaders currently in charge of Thailand are pro-Japanese officials. Without the protection of the little devils, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive.

In view of this situation, the submarine formation cruising to the Gulf of Siam in advance can also play a deterrent role. As long as the Thai navy dares to come out and cooperate with the little devils, Zhao Tiehu will unceremoniously order the submarine formation to attack.

Defeat the reinforcements of the little devils all the way, and the main force of the first division began to focus on blocking the main force of the little devils advancing by land. Compared with the troops who came by sea, the number of this little devil who came by land was undoubtedly larger.

It's just that to Zhao Tiehu's surprise, the little devil infantry wing, which had obviously walked hundreds of kilometers, suddenly reversed its itinerary and planned to return to Phnom Penh along the same road. Perhaps the Japanese army already felt that the situation in Phnom Penh was somewhat unstable.

Receiving a telegram from the Wolf Warrior Reconnaissance Detachment, Zhao Tiehu looked at the map and said directly: "Send a telegram to the Second Division, give me the fastest speed, completely annihilate this retreating little devil infantry wing, and I can't let them return to Phnom Penh."

Sent a telegram to the 4th Infantry Brigade and sent a river defense team to start harassing and shelling the Japanese troops stationed in Vientiane and Phnom Penh. I want to let the little devils in northern Myanmar know that their nest behind them is already unstable.

Next, I also want to see if the little devil can still draw troops from there. If the little devil transfers troops stationed in Thailand, then let the wolf warriors detach and mess up the situation in Thailand. After all, there are anti-Japanese rebels there! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

According to the changing battle situation on the battlefield from time to time, Zhao Tiehu, who stayed in the combat command room, paid close attention to the dynamics of the battlefield, commanded the troops of the fourth theater at any time, and made corresponding sorties and defenses.

Let the 2nd Division draw part of its forces and encircle and annihilate the Japanese infantry wing that intends to return to Phnom Penh. This also means that the infantry brigades that have already reached no distance from Saigon will also face the dilemma of cutting off supply lines.

Next, if this infantry brigade is unable to break through the defense line of the first division, then the fate that awaits them, in addition to surrender, may only be to drill into the dense Golan Destiny. After all, the second division is in the back, and they will also face the fate of being flanked in the front and rear!

In this process, Zhao Tiehu thought for a long time and asked: "Has the first division of the Third War Zone been fully deployed?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the first division will call back, and it can attack at any time!"

"Okay, order the first division of the third theater of operations, let me fight with my hands and feet. It is necessary to eliminate all the little devils stationed in Hainan in the shortest possible time. Remember, the factories opened by the little devils in Hainan have been protected for me! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

With the telegram being sent, the 1st Division of the 3rd Theater of Operations, which had secretly infiltrated Hainan earlier, began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Hainan under the guidance of the Wolf Warrior Squad.

For a while, the situation in Hainan, which had been stabilized, suddenly became turbulent again. Many Kuomintang and Communist Party troops fighting behind enemy lines in the Hainan War of Resistance also felt very surprised by the sudden attack of the Xinghua Army.

When these combat units behind enemy lines quickly send a telegram to their superiors for instructions. Lao Jiang, who was far away in Chongqing, sighed after reading the map: "This Chen Yonghua is not simple!" Take Hainan, the little devils in Indochina are in trouble! ”

"Headmaster, what should we do? Hainan is different from other places! ”

Dai Li, who personally sent this information, knew very well that Hainan was the territory of China, and it was somewhat different from other places occupied by the Xinghua Army. Once the Xinghua Army completes the recovery, who will it be then?

Facing Dai Li's inquiry, Lao Jiang pondered for a while and said: "Hainan is isolated overseas, and we can't send a large army to garrison it at all. As for the Gui army, at this moment, they are only afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves. That place, let them control it for the time being!

However, we can send our anti-war troops there and get in touch with them as soon as possible. If they can really control it and resist the counterattack of the little devils, it will still be very beneficial for us.

At least I believe that the Japanese troops currently occupying the coastal cities of Liangguang should also be careful of the counteroffensive launched by the Xinghua Army at any time. In this way, the anti-Japanese troops fighting in the two provinces can also relieve a lot of pressure. ”

Although Lao Chiang was very keen to send troops to take over Hainan, he knew very well that this idea was not realistic. Let's not talk about whether the Xinghua Army will let it or not, even if it does, whether the troops sent over can hold it is also a question.

After all, Hainan is also a very important logistics supply base and strategic springboard for the Japanese troops stationed in Southeast Asia. Once it was learned that Hainan had fallen, the Japanese army was bound to launch a campaign to seize the island.

In that case, whether it can be held is also a big question. Since the far water can't save the near fire, it is better to let the Xinghua army temporarily control it. When the war is really settled, we will have a good talk with the Xinghua army.

At least judging from the previous contact, Lao Jiang felt that Zhao Tiehu did not look like the kind of person who would invade the country. It is better to hand over Hainan to the management of the Xinghua Army than to let the little devils occupy it!
