Just when many people thought that the Xinghua Army was in Nanyang, it would always keep a low profile. The Fourth War Zone, which had just completed its reorganization, sent a telegram to Zhao Tiehu, and Zhao Tiehu, who received this telegram, quickly decided to go to the Fourth War Zone in person.

As the Fourth Theater of Operations established in Southeast Asia, its original combat strength was much weaker than that of the three theaters in Nanyang. It was only with Zhao Tiehu's preparations for the establishment of the Fourth War Zone, and the Chinese in the enemy-occupied areas of Southeast Asia also joined one after another.

Gradually, except in Thailand, which is now an allied army, there are not many anti-Japanese forces to which the wolf warrior belongs. The rest of the French Indochina areas occupied by the Japanese army all had the shadow of the activities of the Xinghua army and the wolf warriors.

Even many of the new wolf warrior teams in the second and third theaters were thrown by Zhao Tiehu to the rear occupied by the Japanese army for actual combat assessment. This practice also made the reputation of the wolf warrior and the Xinghua army spread in these places.

Looking at the telegram sent by Chen Xinyi, commander of the Fourth Theater, Zhao Tiehu finally said after three days of consideration: "Send a telegram to the Fourth Theater, and send the first division under his command to Saigon to stand by, and the second division to be stationed in Phnom Penh to stand by."

At the same time, a telegram was sent to the commanders of the Wolf's Den stationed in Sai Kung and Phnom Penh to collect intelligence on the Japanese troops in the territory from now on. In addition, the submarine division was ordered to dispatch a submarine formation to the submarine base in the Gulf of Siam to stand by. ”

Listening to the combat order issued by Zhao Tiehu, Chen Wan, who was in charge of recording the order, said with a little surprise: "Do you really want to fight?" ”

"If you don't fight, you can't do it! Most importantly, we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Southeast Asia is also very important to us. If we can win these places, it will also play an important role for us.

What's more, as long as we don't admit it, what can the Japanese army do with us? In the current situation, even if the Japanese army knew that this incident was planned and launched by us, would they really dare to turn against us in an all-round way?

The reorganization of the three theaters has been completed, and if the Japanese army really dares to start a full-scale war, I would also like to take some important cities before the Allies return to the South Seas. After I left, all three theaters entered the third level of combat readiness. ”

"Okay, then be careful yourself!"

"Don't worry, it's okay! If this battle can be successful, then we will have a much easier road ahead. I would venture to say that once we form an alliance in the future, we will have a big say in Asia. ”

Knowing that every time she goes out, Chen Wan, as his wife, will be very worried. But for Zhao Tiehu, he knew that there was not much time left for the Xinghua Army to expand wantonly. He had to race against the clock to prepare for the post-war period.

Without a strong army, how can we deter the allied forces that try to colonize the South Seas and Southeast Asia again?

With Zhao Tiehu's series of orders, the wolf warrior troops located in the third theater of the Malay Peninsula soon received combat orders one after another. Squadrons of soldiers, armed with weapons and equipment, left in boats.

Boatloads of weapons and equipment also sailed from the side of Cotton Half Old Island to a secret bay near Saigon. A large number of weapons and equipment were also transported to the wolf's den base in the dense forest for storage by the wolf warrior troops who came to meet them.

Zhao Tiehu, who was on his way to French Indochina, did not forget to give corresponding combat orders to the three theater commanders. Once the battle at the front begins, what the three theaters need to do is to raise the vigilance of the defense zones.

If the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang do not move, then the three theaters will continue to maintain this attitude of confrontation. If the Japanese army really dared to provoke a war, Zhao Tiehu's order to the three theater commanders was to let go of their hands and feet and fight a fierce battle.

After all, there are nearly 100,000 regular troops in each theater of operations. As for the number of garrisons, that is naturally more than the regular troops. Not to mention, there are also a large number of militia armed!

After several years of development, the strength of the Xinghua Army in Nanyang finally exceeded the number of Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang. In addition to the fact that the naval and air strength was slightly inferior to that of the Japanese army, Zhao Tiehu believed in the strength of the army and could completely defeat the Japanese army.

And the Japanese army, which is currently struggling to cope with the counteroffensive of the US army, dares to take the risk of uniting the Xinghua Army with the Allies and take action against the Xinghua Army? If the Japanese army really did it, maybe the Xinghua army would have losses, but Zhao Tiehu believed that the Japanese army suffered the greatest losses.

When the main forces of the Fourth Theater were reorganized, they rushed to the assembly area from all over the country to stand by. Located in a jungle in Phnom Penh, Chen Xinyi, the commander of the Fourth War Zone, also said with concern: "Is there any news of the commander-in-chief?" ”

"Nope! Commander, it's not that you don't know that the whereabouts of the commander-in-chief, except for the accompanying guards, he rarely greets the garrisons in advance. However, it should be soon! ”

Xu Siyan, chief of staff of the Fourth Theater of Operations, who was standing beside Chen Xinyi, was also an early officer who joined the Wolf Warrior. In this reorganization of the troops, he was also promoted to brigadier general and became the top commander of the Fourth Theater of Operations.

Just when Chen Xinyi led his Second Division to Phnom Penh, the headquarters of the First Division of the Fourth Theater, which also arrived in Saigon, ushered in a group of slightly mysterious visitors. Wu Hao, the division commander who was notified, was also taken aback.

"What? The commander-in-chief is here? ”

"Yes, Commander! Let's catch it! I thought he was going to see the commander first! ”

When Wu Hao took the division commander to the outside of the camp, he soon saw Zhao Tiehu who was inspecting the troops. Just as he was about to step forward, an officer wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel also stepped forward to stop him at the right time.

said: "Commander Wu, hello! I am Zhao Xinsheng, the captain of the guard, and the commander-in-chief has an explanation, so let you go back to the headquarters first, he wants to talk to the officers and soldiers of your division. About the circumstances of his coming here, keep it secret for the time being!

There is also an explanation from the commander-in-chief, asking you to send a telegram to Commander Chen and Division Commander Li of the Second Division, and ask them to come as soon as possible. The commander-in-chief is going to hold a pre-war meeting here. In addition, let Commander Chen bring that distinguished guest with him. ”

"Good! I'll do it now! ”

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Tiehu wanted to inspect the troops first, Wu Hao also knew Zhao Tiehu and was very concerned about the situation of the grassroots troops. Every time I inspect the troops, I can't help but have a chat with the officers and men at the grassroots level.

This also means that if the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are dissatisfied with their high-ranking officers, they will inevitably be criticized at that time. For many officers and men at the grassroots level, this kind of sitting and discussion will also seem very exciting and moving.

As the only one awarded the rank of general in the Xinghua Army, Zhao Tiehu rarely wears a military uniform with the rank of general. Zhao Tiehu, who appeared in front of ordinary officers and soldiers at this moment, was just an officer wearing the rank of colonel.

As for Zhao Tiehu's position, he is an investigator in the administrative office of the headquarters. From time to time, such investigators will appear in various units in the theater to conduct some political surveys and investigations of various units and listen to the opinions of officers and men at the grassroots level.

Therefore, for many grassroots officers and soldiers, these investigators of the administrative office of the headquarters are no strangers to them. The only curiosity and surprise is that the level of Zhao Tiehu, an investigator, seems to be a bit too high!

After all, the rank of colonel is basically the rank of division-level leader and regiment-level commander in the first division.

I heard some soldiers ask, "Sir, is the army going to war?" ”

Facing the inquiries of these soldiers, Zhao Tiehu also smiled and said, "Yes! Are you afraid of a war if there is a war? ”

"Don't be afraid! Actually, we've been waiting for a big fight? Is this time going to fight the little devils? ”

"Yes! This time, we have to clean up the little devils and try to eliminate all the little devils in the neighborhood. In this way, the people living in this area can live a relatively stable life.

You have been in the army for a short time, and most of you are Chinese who have moved to this place from China. I believe that you should know what a catastrophe the arrival of the little devil has brought to us.

At present, there is an extreme drought here, but the little devils still take it by force, snatching life-saving food from our villagers. And these grains are obviously grown by our hard work, so we can't teach them a lesson! ”

"Sir, if we win the little devil, will we be stationed here?"

For such an inquiry, Zhao Tiehu smiled and said, "I don't know about this!" However, for the safety of the people living here, and in order to make the people here no longer be bullied by the little devils, we will definitely garrison troops here.

To be precise, we're going to set up a defense force here. After all, this place itself is where we Chinese live. It's just that after the little devil came, he forcibly seized this place, and we just got our own things back.

In the future, if we want to live a good life, if we want our parents and children to no longer have to be afraid, then we must be afraid of the invaders. Let them know that this is our territory, and they can't let them go wild! ”

Sai Kung is a place where many Chinese people came to make a living and settle down in the early years. With the development of the years, the number of Chinese living here is also quite large. Among the first division, there were also a large number of soldiers from Saigon.

Earlier, they participated in the guerrillas and garrisons of the Xinghua Army, and were promoted to the main force in the subsequent reorganization. This time, the 1st Division suddenly moved to the vicinity of Saigon, and it was normal for the soldiers to guess that there was going to be a battle.

In fact, the situation around Saigon was very chaotic during this period, and the large-scale drought caused many people to lose their land. A large number of locusts ruthlessly devoured the crops on which the people depended.

But for the Japanese troops who occupied the area, they needed to raise food for the Japanese troops on the front line and in various places. Under this oppression, many Chinese were robbed of food and property by the Japanese army, which made the life of the Chinese living here very difficult.

Even earlier, the wolf warriors raided the Japanese army's grain depot from time to time, which taught the Japanese army some lessons. But for the Japanese army, the scope of their food looting was not limited to the Chinese people, even the locals could not escape their plunder.

In order to survive, many Chinese and locals joined the camp of resistance against the Japanese army. And Zhao Tiehu led the troops over this time, which was to decide to recover this place ahead of schedule and completely put it under the jurisdiction of the Xinghua Army!
