Chapter 276: Wolf Warrior's plan to go north
On that day, the United States and the United States were engaged in a fierce battle to the death around Kuah Island. The Soviet and German armies, which were fighting in the Soviet Union, launched a fierce offensive and defensive campaign around Stalingrad, and the Soviet Union also mobilized the whole country to resist the German invasion.
But many people don't know that shortly after the outbreak of the Battle of Stalingrad, a group of White Russian and Jewish mercenaries, escorted by a mysterious team, had infiltrated the territory of the Soviet Union.
The mission of this mercenary squad is to pay attention to the situation of the Soviet-German campaign. At the same time, during the campaign, the military intelligence of the two countries was stolen by various means, as well as Soviet scientists who lost their jobs due to the war.
Compared with the protracted wars in the neighboring parts of Europe, the Far East is relatively safe at the moment. However, this team of multi-racial mercenaries smuggled into its Far East from the territory of the Japanese bowl and kept sending back the information that Zhao Tiehu needed.
Knowing that snow had begun to fall in Stalingrad, Zhao Tiehu realized that the turning point of the battle had arrived. With the crushing defeat of the German army in the Soviet Union, Zhao Tiehu believed that the Japanese bowl as an ally would also be dealt a fatal blow.
The person in charge of carrying out intelligence reconnaissance on the European battlefield was none other than Chen Liquan, the chief person in charge of Wolf Nose. The mercenary unit under his command is a group of foreign mercenaries recruited and trained from China earlier.
According to Zhao Tiehu's arrangement, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group is currently divided into two types of mercenaries, one of which is all served by Chinese soldiers. The other group is composed of Chinese mercenaries and foreign mercenaries.
The battlefield of the latter is more in the battlefield abroad. For these small but elite troops, even the Soviet and German armies have had many contacts. But many times, this elite combat unit is always difficult to find.
Relying on the rear base camp, it constantly sends well-trained domestic and foreign mercenaries to support. The scale of Wolf Warrior's foreign mercenary group is also growing. Even in the ranks of mercenaries, Soviet and German servicemen can be seen.
These soldiers are all newcomers to the Wolf Warrior team, and after a period of training, they also become part of the Wolf Warrior mercenary group. And their combat mission is to be for money and for mercenary groups.
As for the wars between their own countries, they are more of a nuance. From the moment they join the mercenary group, they no longer have a nationality. The addition of these foreign veterans has also improved the strength of the Wolf Warrior Foreign Legion.
In addition to raiding and taking on missions from time to time, the Foreign Legion is more tasked with gathering intelligence and kidnapping or buying valuable scientists. Mercenaries who perform tasks will receive corresponding rewards according to their tasks.
In short, as the pace of time began to move into 1943, the more Zhao Tiehu could feel the sense of urgency of development. It's just that what comforts him a little is the battle of Kuah Island, which is not far from the South Seas, and the consumption of Japan and the United States seems to be a bit too much.
The two countries are constantly committing ships and aircraft, and even landing operations and interdiction operations. This makes the casualty number of the two ** teams seem to be rising. And this situation is undoubtedly what Zhao Tiehu likes to see.
When Zhao Tiehu received the information from the Wolf's Lair stationed in Korea, the Japanese army transferred two main battle divisions from the Kwantung Army and were secretly transporting them to the front line. Zhao Tiehu also knew that the elite of the originally powerful Kwantung Army had also been mobilized.
In this case, Zhao Tiehu also said in a timely manner: "Instruct No. 1 Wolf's Den to start the northward expansion plan and speed up the operation of establishing a wolf's den in the northeast." At the same time, forward this telegram to the Yan'an side! ”
"Yes, wolfhead!"
When he went to the mainland earlier, Zhao Tiehu laid out a plan to go north to establish a wolf's den base. In Zhao Tiehu's vision, the reason for going to the northeast was more to prevent the Japanese army's military industrial enterprises there from being plundered by the Soviet army.
Even according to Zhao Tiehu's instructions, the wolf warrior mercenaries who infiltrated the Far East were sent to the anti-Japanese forces that retreated into the Soviet Union for training, and sent them to contact Yan'an, so as to take the Eighth Route Army outside the customs into the northeast.
It can be said that these things are currently going very smoothly under the joint efforts of Zhao Tiehu. The elite of the Kwantung Army was constantly being weakened by the war. On the other hand, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the north is constantly growing.
With Zhao Tiehu starting the northward expansion plan, many squadrons of wolf warriors who had been prepared began to set off to sneak into the northeast in various ways in winter. In the northeast, a number of supply points were established for the secret camp.
Compared with the squadrons in the south and north, these squadrons of wolf warriors who entered the northeast naturally took advantage of the unfavorable situation of the Japanese army in winter to begin to intensify their attacks on the Japanese army and prepare for the establishment of secret camps.
For a while, the winter of the Kwantung Army seemed to have begun to become uneasy. Not to mention the death of many garrison generals, a number of Japanese banks in the northeast were also looted by the squadrons of soldiers.
With the help of his relationship with the National Salvation Association, Zhao Tiehu could even send troops and supplies from the territory of the Japanese bowl to the northeast. After all, at this time, both the Soviet Union and Japan seemed to be very restrained and did not dare to provoke a bilateral war at will.
Under such a situation, Wolf Warrior's northward expansion plan is progressing smoothly, which makes Zhao Tiehu, who has been paying attention to this work, also feel very satisfied. In his opinion, the bureau of cloth in the early years has finally reached the season of harvest.
Some of the Japanese recruits recruited by the Salvation Association also began to be sent to the wolf's den in the northeast for training. The arrival of these Japanese recruits has also made the activities of the wolf warriors in the Northeast much more convenient.
Many times, the Manchurian Army, which cooperated with the Kwantung Army to defend the northeast, faced with these troops composed of Japanese people, it was often impossible to distinguish which one was the Japanese army and which was a rebel army that specifically opposed the Japanese army.
The Kwantung Army, which was harassed by the wolf warriors and had a large number of troops and energy, did not realize that the wolf warriors were active on the border of China and the Far East. In fact, it was also covering the northward advance of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
It is believed that after the winter passes, the Kwantung Army stationed outside the pass will also be surprised to find that in the northeast, which they regard as the hinterland, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has already appeared. If you want to drive it out again, the result can be imagined.
In Zhao Tiehu's words, the effect of one plus one will be greater than two in many cases. What's more, the current Japan Salvation Association is not only speeding up its activities in the country, but also promoting propaganda against the war and the overthrow of the military junta.
Even in the areas occupied by the Japanese army, the National Salvation Association was doing similar propaganda. Many soldiers who were forcibly recruited by the Japanese army to serve in these colonies, after some brainwashing and education, became intelligence officers of the National Salvation Association.
And the role played by the National Salvation Association at this moment is undoubtedly the result that Zhao Tiehu wanted to see most when he first recruited those Japanese prisoners of war. Let the people of the Japanese bowl who save the country go to provoke civil strife in the Japanese bowl, and I believe the effect will be even better.
In fact, in this matter, Nosuke Toda has done a good job. This made Zhao Tiehu, who was far away in Nanyang, also send some telegrams of encouragement to Toda from time to time, which made Toda no suke feel full of confidence.
After all, what Zhao Tiehu said to Toda Nosuke at the beginning is now becoming a reality one by one. This made Toda Nosuke, who had been successfully brainwashed by Zhao Tiehu and even regarded him as a spiritual mentor, feel that he was luckier than anyone else.
Once the Hinata announced his unconditional surrender, Toda Nosuke believed that the future Hibashi would be led by the Salvation Association. Under his leadership, the future Japanese bowl will return to the life before the war.
In order to let the Japanese army and the U.S. army consume more war potential in this national war, Zhao Tiehu is doing some things now. Once known by the Allies, I am afraid that they will also hate it to the extreme.
The reason is that in the Battle of Kuah Island, some of the U.S. military's plans will also be leaked by the Wolf Warrior to members of the Salvation Association or Wolf Warrior spies lurking in the Japanese army. With this information, these people can be rewarded with promotions.
Of course, the consequence of this is naturally that some actions of the US military are often ambushed and severely damaged by the Japanese army in advance. On the other hand, on the Japanese side, Zhao Tiehu also provided some intelligence to the US military.
With this information, the U.S. military was sometimes able to successfully ambush and thwart Japanese sneak attacks. This practice of selling the left and then the right has made the people who really benefit Zhao Tiehu and his Xinghua army in Nanyang.
And even many times, the allies, who were completely ignorant, expressed great gratitude. In the eyes of the Allies, every time the Xinghua Army provided information, it seemed that there was no mistake. So much so that the Allies felt that the Xinghua Army was still on the side of the Allies.
But they didn't know that many times their fiasco was also because the Xinghua Army deliberately leaked information to the Japanese army. So much so that many times, the battle between Japan and the United States will turn into encirclement and counter-encirclement.
In this case, the battle between the armies of the two sides becomes inevitable. Although the Japanese army is already at a disadvantage in terms of sea and air supremacy, it is already at a disadvantage compared to earlier. However, the Japanese army still had a great advantage in land warfare.
Sometimes, around an important island, Japanese and American troops always take turns to fight. After one side retreated, the other side soon returned. Gradually, the entire Kuah Island Campaign continued to drain the war potential and resources of the two countries.
On the other hand, in Nanyang, under the correct leadership of Zhao Tiehu, the Xinghua Army has successively walked out of the mountains. Production began to resume in the countryside beyond the control of the Japanese army, and a large amount of grain and factories were also planted and produced.
Through the sale of these materials, the Xinghua Army earned both the Japanese and the Allied forces. And such a deal made the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang also feel that perhaps the Xinghua Army could be fought for.
It's just that Zhao Tiehu never admitted or personally came forward about the private contact and transactions with the Japanese army. In many cases, this series of transactions is through the Salvation Association organization.
In this way, it not only increased the prestige of the National Salvation Association in the Nanyang Japanese bowl garrison, but also made Zhao Tiehu, the organizer behind the scenes, make a lot of money. Correspondingly, there are more high-end machinery and equipment shipped from the Japanese bowl than before.
With the gradual stabilization of the situation in Nanyang, Nanyang, which has experienced a short period of pain, seems to have returned to its previous calm. It's just that for Zhao Tiehu, he feels that this kind of calm should not be maintained for too long.
However, taking advantage of the current calm situation, it is still very necessary to develop a wave of military strength and economy!
