Chapter 204: The Reason Why I Had to Fight
The sudden change in the international situation undoubtedly brought about certain changes in the Japanese army and the Chinese War of Resistance. When the Chinese in Nanyang began to prepare for the Spring Festival, the Japanese army launched the Battle of Southern Henan in Henan.
Unfortunately, the battle ended with the Japanese retreating on their own initiative. Not to mention not to mention the failure to achieve the previously confirmed combat objectives, it also allowed the Zhong Yan army to take the opportunity to regain some lost ground, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War.
And this victory seems to have also made the Americans realize that there were Chinese anti-Japanese troops holding back the Japanese army. It may be possible to delay or dispel the Japanese army's greed for the colonies in the South Seas. For this reason, the support for the national government has undoubtedly been much greater.
As far as the U.S. military is concerned, if they face the Japanese army independently, they are actually not afraid. But the problem at present is that the Anglo-French coalition forces that he has always supported are somewhat dissatisfied with the battle against the German army.
The German army, which was also full of firepower, was constantly devouring the troops of the Anglo-French Allies. This also means that if there is a problem with the British army, the US military is likely to need to send troops into the war to fight the German army, which is trying to dominate the world.
If there really is a two-front combat situation, it will also be very unfavorable to the US military. Under such circumstances, it was very necessary to win over the Nationalist Government to contain the Japanese army, which had invested a large number of troops in China.
In this case, what is happening on Mindanao, the US military seems to be happy to see it. If the Chinese who moved to Mindanao could withstand the Japanese invasion, it would also be a good thing for the US military in the Philippines.
At least from the information currently available to the US military, Zhao Tiehu seems to have a good set of skills in training. In addition, a large number of veterans with actual combat experience have been recruited from China, so that the combat strength of the Chinese troops on Mindanao has been further strengthened.
It's just that for Zhao Tiehu, Mindanao's role is more to settle the war refugees who fled after the outbreak of the war. In addition, accept the materials and loot seized by various wolf warrior bases.
To this end, Zhao Tiehu instructed the engineering team to build underground military fortresses in the dense forest. In the event of a war, these underground fortresses can be used as both settlements and storage warehouses for war readiness.
On the side of the flight team, Zhao Tiehu asked the flight team to train more pilots. As for airplanes, Zhao Tiehu buys more trainer planes and a small number of fighters of various types. The intention was simple, to act as a pilot in wartime.
Once a large number of aircraft are captured, these pilots can be immediately armed and become a flying army. The pilots sent by the Eighth Route Army to study are also conducting corresponding flight training at the flight base at this moment.
But after these pilots arrived, Zhao Tiehu told them that they were not allowed to casually disclose the situation in Nanyang to China. Even if you want to send a telegram, you must get permission from Zhao Tiehu.
Although many pilots felt that they could not accept such strict information control, they saw the planes on the apron of the airport, and after consulting their country, they finally chose to stay and study.
After all, all the expenses of their studies in flight school were borne by Wolf Warrior for them. You can't enjoy these benefits at the same time, and at the same time, you can also send some things about the wolf warrior back to China, right?
When Li Chengwu led a group of elite team members to arrive, looking at the base camp built in the mountains, Li Chengwu was also very happy and said: "Wolf head, this is our wolf warrior base camp?" That's too big, isn't it? ”
'Is it big?' I don't think it's too big! If war really breaks out, I'm afraid you'll think it's a little too small! ’
'Wolf, when do you think the war will break out?' After repairing so many underground fortifications, don't waste them if you don't need them, these are all money! ’
Li Chengwu, who served as the person in charge of the No. 1 Wolf's Den in China, naturally knew that most of the funds earned by the Wolf's Den in China were transferred to the construction of the base camp. But seeing everything that Wolf Warrior has on the old island now, he is still very shocked.
In less than two years, Zhao Tiehu, who went to Nanyang in person, built such a huge jungle base camp, which is indeed shocking. And Li Chengwu really knew why Zhao Tiehu instructed them to raise funds as much as possible in China.
At the end of the day, without a lot of money, how could we have everything we have today?
Rest assured, the money we invest now is more of an investment, and the harvest in the future should be huge. As you saw earlier, if the underground helipad we built in the mountains was full of planes, how much do you think it was worth? ’
'Well, wouldn't it?' That hangar looks like it can park at least a few hundred planes! How can we afford it? ’
'Why spend money on it?' As long as the little devils start a war when the time comes, they will start fighting with the foreign devils' troops in Nanyang. We just need to get these planes back at the right time, before the little devils? ’
As Zhao Tiehu said, compared to ordinary rifle machine gun weapons, such things as airplanes are too expensive. With the money to buy planes, Zhao Tiehu might as well build more hangars. As for the planes, there are really quite a few planes of the various colonial armies.
Once the colonial troops announced their surrender, Zhao Tiehu would organize a commando team to drive all the planes away before the Japanese army. This is also the reason why Zhao Tiehu has always asked the flight team to train more pilots.
As soon as the plane takes off, it can fly to the jungle airport in Mindanao in a very short time. When the plane is put on the underground tarmac, even if the little devil's plane chases after it, I believe it will be difficult for them to find out where the plane is hidden.
At the right time, these planes, which are stored on the underground tarmac, can form a formation to fight. Cooperate with the armed forces of each wolf's den to raid the Japanese army's military strongholds and important targets in Nanyang, and catch the little devils off guard.
After sending Li Chengwu and his entourage to Xinjiapo, Zhao Tiehu also officially ordered the formation of a sea wolf team. From the navy and army, select elite soldiers to carry out a new round of assault intensive training.
The warriors of the Sea Wolf Clan must learn the skills of amphibious warfare on land and sea. In the future, the Seawolf will assume the responsibilities of the Marine Corps. Become a wolf warrior mercenary group, another elite armed force.
In addition to that, in a deep mountain training camp in Mindanao. A large number of new soldiers who have joined the Wolf Warriors are undergoing ground training for paratroopers. And this also means that in the future, the wolf warrior will have the combat capability of air assault parachute.
At present, the most powerful training of the Airborne Forces is undoubtedly the Airborne Forces of the German Army. As for the Japanese army, although the Airborne Forces were also formed. But as it stands, they're still training and figuring it out.
But as far as Zhao Tiehu is concerned, as a special operations elite from the special forces, Zhao Tiehu naturally has a lot of experience in how to effectively conduct ground and air training in the airborne troops. When the time comes, he will order the paratroopers to carry out parachute training in the air.
As for the transport planes for transporting paratroopers, Zhao Tiehu gritted his teeth and raised money to purchase two from the US military. Although two transport planes can't deliver many troops, if they take off in one go, they can still deliver a squadron of Wolf Warriors to the combat area.
First the individual, then the squad, and finally the squadron, once the number of transport teams increases in the future, Zhao Tiehu will also form a larger airborne force. This also means that the future Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group will truly have the strength of amphibious operations on land, sea and air.
When the paratroopers of the wolf warriors began to successfully carry out several fixed-point parachute landings on the islands, they really mastered the combat skills of the airborne troops. Time seems to have entered the second half of the fourth year unconsciously.
For Zhao Tiehu in 41 years, the number of Chinese who moved to Mindanao has reached more than 100,000. In addition to the 30,000 or 40,000 Chinese in Davao, there are also thousands of Chinese in other cities in Mindanao.
As the time entered November, Zhao Tiehu finally issued the first order to start the demolition and relocation of some factories in Davao. Many Chinese business owners were surprised by this order.
In the face of the inquiries of these business owners, Zhao Tiehu specially summoned these Chinese business leaders who moved to Mindanao, and said with a very serious expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the top-secret information I have, the Japanese army is about to launch an invasion against the colonies in Nanyang. ”
'What? How dare the little devil do it to the Americans? ’
To be exact, not only the American army, but also the Dutch army in Indonesia, and the British army in Xinjiapo. Because the Japanese know that the British are now too busy to take care of themselves. And the little devil also has a reason to have to fight! ’
Knowing that in this kind of thing, Zhao Tiehu should not say anything big, and soon a business owner asked, "What is the reason?" ”
'The United States has imposed an oil embargo on the Japanese bowl, and at the moment the little devils are powerless to attack the Soviet Union. This means that if the little devil's planes and warships want to start, they must find a way to find a place with oil. ’
As soon as these words came out, a business owner soon woke up and said: "The oil fields of the Dutch in Borneo? ”
'Nice! According to the information I have, the Dutch, who were mining oil fields in Borneo, had already begun to prepare for a retreat. Many of their family members have also begun to move. Even in the oil fields, they began to lay explosives.
Although I don't know when the little devil will do it, from all indications, the little devil is afraid that he will do it soon. Even those foreigners still know to run away quickly, so naturally we can't sit still, we must act first.
As long as the machinery and equipment of the factory are moved to the mountains, the factory can be rebuilt when the time is right. If you don't transfer this equipment into the mountains, your factory may still be seized by the little devils. ’
With this explanation, even these business owners feel reluctant to give up the booming factory. But they know very well that compared to the little devils, who have warships and cannons, it is indeed much safer to hide in the mountains.
In fact, Zhao Tiehu had already built a residence in the mountains for these business owners. When they enter the mountain, they can at least stay in peace. After all, it's not easy for little devils to hit where they live!
