Chapter 283 I don't dare to suppress it

Submitting the handwritten letter to the Allied side along with the interrogation materials of the case, Zhao Tiehu was not angry about the incident. In fact, according to the investigation report sent back by Wolf Nose from the front, I am afraid that this matter really has nothing to do with the Allies.

But the problem is that the Allies also bought a lot of spies in Nanyang. Some of these spies are indigenous, and some Chinese have lived in Nanyang for a long time. For these allied spies, Zhao Tiehu is also in a secret investigation.

No matter what the purpose of those Chinese was to report to the Allied forces, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, they must be cleaned up. Because no one can guarantee whether these Chinese who accepted the employment of the Allies passed on the secrets of the Xinghua Army to the Allies?

The indigenous businessman who was secretly arrested in the Malay Peninsula a while ago was not told by the Xinghua Army, and that person was a spy bribed by the Allies. Earlier, I had been in contact with several indigenous merchants in the city of Jilong.

Put those charges on the allies, but I'm afraid that the allies really can't shirk it. In those days, there were intelligence gathering organizations in that country. As the allies, they naturally have their own channels for finding out information.

Now let Zhao Tiehu seize the opportunity to play on the topic, I believe it can also deter the allies. Let them know that indiscriminately spying on the military secrets of the Xinghua Army is also very likely to arouse the disgust and protest of the Xinghua Army.

If the Allies still want to have a good relationship with the Xinghua Army, then they must carefully explain to their intelligence agents and not spy on the military intelligence of the Xinghua Army at will. Otherwise, Zhao Tiehu would be angry, and the consequences would still be very serious.

When the Spring Festival of '42 has just passed, the time has entered the spring of '43. The Battle of Kuah, which was supposed to have ended, seems to be still going on, and the Japanese and American armies seem to be in a state of endless death.

It's just that no one expected that the German army, which was originally offensive, planted a fatal heel this winter. As the Soviets survived the most difficult winter and finally launched an offensive to regain lost territory, the German forces attacking the Soviet Union were quickly defeated.

What even hard for the Axis powers to imagine was that the German field marshal, who was responsible for attacking the Soviet Union, finally ordered the surrender to the Soviet Union. Nearly 100,000 marching troops, including Marshal Paulus, surrendered to the Soviet army.

After the news spread, it undoubtedly caused great excitement on the part of the Allies. The Japanese army, as an ally, naturally seemed a little discouraged when they learned that the German army had suffered such a crushing defeat in the Soviet Union, and even directly affected the current battle of Kuah Island.

After several days of emergency cabinet meetings, the Japanese Cabinet finally made the decision to abandon the defensive front they had established on Kuah Island. We should put more effort into blocking the US counteroffensive and hold back the US offensive with a defensive offensive.

Compared with the Japanese army's final decision to withdraw from Kuah Island, ending this half-year-long battle for the island chain. The Allies were also very happy to learn that the Soviets had defeated the German army, and they threw more troops into the battle.

Not long after the Japanese cabinet made the decision to withdraw troops, Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Mindanao, received the news. Hearing this news, Zhao Tiehu also somewhat understood that the battle to bleed Japan and the United States could almost be declared over.

At the same time, Zhao Tiehu also received news from the National Salvation Association that the Japanese army planned to launch the Liangguang Campaign. In this way, he tried to cut off the anti-Japanese forces in Liangguang and the southwest.

Compared with the previous news, Zhao Tiehu chose to send it to the allies a few days later. However, the Japanese army decided to fully occupy Guangzhou Bay to follow up the affairs of Guangxi, but Zhao Tiehu chose to send it out quickly through the Wolf Nose Intelligence Station in Guangxi.

After receiving the information provided by the Xinghua Army, the anti-Japanese troops under the command of Liangguang also quickly stepped up preparations for war. With the continuous development and growth of the Xinghua Army in Nanyang, the military and political authorities in Liangguang and Guangxi already knew that the strength of the Xinghua Army was not bad.

Even after receiving the information secretly sent by the Xinghua Army, as the commander-in-chief of the Gui Army, Li Delin was also very grateful: "Thank you for your information, with this information, we can also prepare early to prevent being attacked by little devils."

If I have the chance, I hope to visit your commander-in-chief next time I go to Nanyang. During this time, our anti-Japanese troops in Liangguang and Guangzhou, thanks to the materials you transported, our strength has increased a lot! ”

In the face of Li Delin's thanks, the representative of the Xinghua Army who came to negotiate also smiled and said: "General Li, our commander-in-chief has always said that even if we are in Nanyang, we are also descendants of Yan and Huang, and we are all family.

Regarding the deployment of the Japanese army in the future, our Xinghua Army will continue to collect intelligence, hoping to be useful to General Li. This time, the little devil was defeated in Kuah Island, and I am afraid that he will attack your defense area with all his might, and I ask General Li to be cautious.

Once the Japanese army breaks through your defensive line, it will also pose a major threat to the overall situation of our overall war of resistance. As for General Lee's desire to go to Nanyang, as long as the situation calms down, I think the commander-in-chief will welcome you to visit him. ”

As an important coastal city, Liangguang is also very important for Nanyang. Once the Japanese army forms a substantial occupation of Liangguang, it will still have a great impact on the liaison between the Xinghua Army and the mainland.

After all, many of the talents and materials recruited by the Xinghua Army now need the mainland as a rear base. The current situation in Guangxi will also play a very important role in the overall strategy of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

For the Japanese army has begun to develop a new combat strategy, trying to increase their capital to confront the American army. Relying on this combat readiness supply line from North China to Southwest China, it is maneuvering with the US forces that are about to launch a counteroffensive.

This kind of Japanese army's attempt to drag Huaxia into the water, Zhao Tiehu naturally will not sit idly by. Even when submitting information to Guangxi, Zhao Tiehu instructed the troops stationed in Hong Kong and Hainan to prepare for engagement.

As soon as the Japanese troops assembled in the vicinity of Liangguang began to march towards Guangxi, then the Xinghua army would launch an invasion in the rear and disrupt the Japanese supply lines. In this way, support the anti-Japanese troops in Liangguang.

Even considering the strategic retreat of the Japanese army from the front line, Zhao Tiehu also ordered the Xinghua army in various parts of Nanyang to be ready to turn against the Japanese army at any time. After all, with the defeat of the Japanese army on the front line and the shift from offensive to defensive, Nanyang became even more important.

If the Xinghua Army is placed in Nanyang, the Japanese army wants to say that it is not worried at all, it is naturally a lie. Now that the front line has been defeated, the Japanese army naturally wants to build Nanyang into a more impregnable one, and it is normal to want to clear the Xinghua army.

It's just that without waiting for any provocative moves by the Japanese army, the Xinghua army has already begun to shrink the defensive line, and the direction of the Japanese army, who learned this information, also felt that the Xinghua army should know the news that they were preparing to retreat from the front line.

In the face of the Xinghua Army, which had already prepared in advance, Yamashita Fengfumi, who was in charge of the Nanyang War, saw that the defense line had been contracted, making it difficult for the Japanese army to find a breakthrough, and it was naturally not easy to clear out the Xinghua Army.

Looking at the assembled garrison commanders from all over the country, Yamashita Fengwen also had a headache and said, "Gentlemen, about this Xinghua Army, do you think we should maintain the status quo or exterminate it at all costs?" ”

Listening to Yamashita Fengwen's inquiry, several garrison commanders looked left and right, and finally the commander stationed in the Philippines replied: "General, if we can clear the Xinghua Army, we naturally hope to carry out a corresponding clean-up plan.

It's just that as far as we know so far, we still don't have much information about how many troops the Xinghua Army has and how much strength it has hidden. This means that it will be very difficult to clean up.

The most important thing is that the troops we stationed in Nanyang earlier have all been transferred to the front line with actual combat experience. At present, there are not many troops stationed in various parts of Nanyang that have actual combat experience, and most of them are recruits recruited from behind.

The training and equipment of the Xinghua Army are actually no worse than ours, and they are familiar with the local terrain. If we want to encircle them, we must send our troops into the deep mountains and jungles where they are hiding.

If you don't have careful planning and preparation, my advice is not to move. After all, we don't know exactly when the Allies will attack us. If the Allies attack, we will be in danger of being flanked. ”

For his part, the commander of the Japanese army stationed in the Philippines also thought about eliminating the Xinghua Army operating on Luzon. It's just that every time the clean-up operation has not achieved too good results, it has caused heavy casualties to the encirclement and suppression troops.

Even every time they launched a clean-up operation, the secret troops under the command of the Xinghua Army would organize sabotage retaliatory operations in the areas controlled by the Japanese army. Such a sabotage retaliation war made the Japanese army unable to defend against it at all.

The reason is very simple, among the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang today, there are also many officers and soldiers who are not under the control of the Japanese army. These officers and soldiers lurking in the Japanese army usually look no different from other officers and soldiers.

Once these officers and soldiers were activated, the Japanese army would be unable to defend themselves against retaliation within the Japanese army. Finally, after a period of peace, no one wants any more chaos.

Of course, the concerns raised by the commanders in the Philippines are also very reasonable, and their navy and air force have been almost exhausted in the Battle of Kuah. Once the U.S. Army counterattacks, only the Army will be able to counter them.

But the problem is that once the encirclement and suppression of the Xinghua army is launched, the battle cannot be ended in a short time. Then for the Japanese troops stationed in the South Seas, it will also form a real deadly threat.

When the time comes, it will be in harmony with the Allies, and the result of waiting for the Japanese army can be imagined. Even as the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Theater, Yamashita Fengwen did not dare to say that the troops stationed in Nanyang had the strength to defeat the Xinghua army.

After all, when they were fighting with the U.S. military, the Xinghua Army had been concentrating on development. Now the strength of the Xinghua Army has improved a lot compared to earlier. If you want to clear it again, it will be more difficult than the previous invasion of the South Seas.

After this collective meeting of the commanders of the garrisons in various places, Yamashita Fumimi finally sent a telegram to the cabinet, suggesting that the encirclement and suppression of the Xinghua Army be cancelled. It can even cooperate more with the Xinghua Army.

At least in Yamashita Fengfumi's opinion, the commander-in-chief of the Xinghua Army was a man who understood. He believed that Zhao Tiehu should understand that both the Japanese army and the allies believed that they were unwelcome aggressors to the Xinghua army!
