Britain will also need time, need to mobilize troops, and need to know the specific movements of the Japanese army. Moreover, he was also skeptical about the reaction of the Japanese army, and I wondered if it was really impossible to contact the base camp and the generals decided to attack privately.

After some discussion, the British decided to let this group of several men into India, and see if you could solve the trouble of the military offensive of that force. They also had time to prepare and mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress this Japanese army that dared to invade Huwei.

So, the officials of Hiben took a steamer to Malacca, and there they took a plane into India to meet Hideki Tojo.

Of course, this is just a delaying tactic, and they are looking for a solution to this crisis.

Regardless of the calculations of the Japanese and British troops, the advance army marched very fast. Along the way, he rushed to the vicinity of Peking without self-love, and stopped advancing before dark, and was stationed on the spot.

During the march of the troops, countless strong and enthusiastic young people chased after the team and asked to join the advance army, to hunt down and kill those Japanese soldiers who had committed many evil deeds, and to avenge the relatives or countrymen who died.

Of course, the advance army would not refuse, so the army began to absorb continuously, and when the vanguard mechanical troops that had stopped advancing from Baotou to the vicinity of Beiping camped, they left behind a team of 20,000 or 30,000 recruits along the way.

Sun Tao listened to the reports of the group and heard that so many people had joined the army, and he was still very happy in his heart. These are all fresh blood, and although they cannot become the main force on the battlefield, in two or three months, they will become worthy fighters.

When he was in the movement of the army, thousands of trucks from Mongolia rushed to Zhangjiakou to join the army and solve the transportation problem in the march of the army. And brought military uniforms and weapons to the recruits.

These trucks are for recruits. These recruits will march for most of the day in the days to come, and the rest of the time will camp and train in advance, so that when they arrive in Yunnan, they will not have been on the battlefield except for the battle. But the basic training tasks are pretty much the same.

Sun Tao obviously didn't expect that the crowd of people joining the army exceeded expectations too much, and according to the number on the first day, he estimated that it was already the limit to be able to recruit 300,000 when he arrived in Yunnan.

But before he could sleep, there was a noise outside the barracks.

"What's the situation?"

Sun Tao asked as he left the tent with his coat on.

"Report to the commander, it's the students and young people who came to join the army, they are all around here, I heard that the army stationed is us, no, two hours from the nearby mountains and villages rushed here."

The guard at the door replied with a salute.

Oh......

Sun Tao looked at the bright lights in the distance. Oh, I didn't care. Xindao, it's only a few thousand when it comes, after all, there are no big villages and towns around.

But not long after he told you to return to the tent, the noise in the distance was not small, but it was loud, mixed with the horns of cars and the barking of horses.

Sun Tao thought that this was the arrival of Lao Jiang's troops, so he sat up, ready to ask what was going on.

Before he could ask, the guard seemed to know his habits. The probe came in and saw that he hadn't had time to rest, so he called out for a report.

"Come in. Tell me why it's so noisy outside? ”

Sun Tao waved his hand casually.

The guard came in and said: "Commander, these are the young men and students from Datong and Zhangjiakou, they spontaneously organized carriages and horses, and rushed to our route. ”

Coming so far?

Sun Tao looked at the guard, thought for a while, and said, "Li Zhuang." You go and tell Xia Zhanhong from the recruitment office, let him convey the order, march forward, the recruitment offices along the way will not be withdrawn, and the troops will stay for 7 days after they pass. Don't let these young people run away. ”

"Yes!"

Li Zhuang turned his head and left the tent.

Sun Tao sat there and lit a cigarette, thought about it and shouted, "Wei Bin! ”

"Here!"

Another guard at the door answered loudly and entered the tent.

"Record the telegram, send a telegram to the chief of general affairs, explain the situation, and let him see if it is possible to set up recruitment offices along the road in advance, and these young men and students from the province who have arrived all the way to the north, walking more in vain."

"Yes!"

Wei Bin was ordered to leave, and the telegram reached Liu Chengcheng.

After receiving the telegram, he pondered and gave orders to the troops in Tianjin, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Shanghai to take a helicopter along the way, set up a recruitment office, and do a good job in the task of food supply, one is to receive those donated materials, and the other is to accept those who join the army in advance. No matter what the purpose is here, as long as you are young and meet the recruitment criteria, you will receive all of them.

He didn't care what spies were planted by someone with a heart, during the recruit training, these people would basically be singled out, after all, it was easy to distinguish between trained and untrained.

So, in the dark of night, one helicopter after another roared out of the cantonment, and flew along the way of the marching army, leaving a platoon of people in every large village and town, ready to start recruiting tomorrow.

The day, slowly brightened, Sun Tao didn't ask how many people were recruited after most of the busy work last night, he was the more the merrier anyway, once he entered India, the source of soldiers would be cut off, he only had his own internal supplements, and there was no way to recruit new recruits from outside. After all, Ah San will not join the advance army, which is British territory.

Sitting in a jeep, Sun Tao looked at the young people and students on the side of the road who were messy and dusty, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when did the Chinese lack blood?

He led the team straight to Tianjin, bypassing Beiping without entering, and he would stay there for another day, because, the gentleman told him, his task was to remotely control the concession between Tianjin and Shanghai according to Dong Ku's instructions, and as for the gateway to the offensive route, it would be until he finished the negotiations, and try to avoid friction with the British army. After all, they were fighting the Japanese army, and there was no need to go to war with the British. Therefore, the speed of the march does not need to be too fast, one along the way is to recruit more troops, the other is to wait for the amphibious tanks in Mongolia, and there are supplies to keep up, and do the most resupply action.

He sped up all the way and went straight to Tianjin. Once there, his convoy had to return to pick up the troops behind.

But as soon as he arrived in Tianjin, he was shocked by the crowd of people. These people are ordinary people, from all walks of life, and in addition to joining the army, they are the ones who send the anti-Japanese troops to the front.

In the midst of the noise of gongs and drums, the team was blocked, and could no longer move quickly, so they could only pass through the queue standing in an alley.

Sun Tao looked at the faces holding slogans and shouting excitedly, and was really happy in his heart, at least the Chinese people were not indifferent, knowing that the war was not over yet, although the enemy had fled from China, they still showed the greatest enthusiasm to support the pursuit.

At this time, Dong Ku was still busy at Mafu Lake, he was waiting, waiting for the results of the negotiations in Liu Luocheng, he knew that Liu Luocheng would not suffer losses, and he would not anger the British, and the benefits would naturally be maximized.

But he always felt that it was not time to get involved in the war with the British, and when Germany attacked France, the war was irreversible, and it was not too late to start a war with the British. But he couldn't let go of those high-ranking Japanese generals, and in his busyness, he had already made a decision, even if it was a war, he couldn't let the Japanese escape.

How did he know that the United States had stopped the trade of materials to Japan, cut off the source of oil for the Japanese army, and made the Japanese army give up its plan to send warships to save the large army. The reason for him, the Japanese army did not have much oil for transportation. You must know that the large troops transporting hundreds of thousands of troops in the road will not be attacked by the British army, and they may also be blocked by the British Royal Fleet, leaving the fleet in a disadvantageous state and unable to cover the huge troop transport fleet.

Therefore, when they received the temporary suspension of trade from the United States, they stabilized the British army while looking for new oil source channels, and at the same time gave an order to Hideki Tojo to let Hideki Tojo occupy enough territory as soon as possible and prepare for a protracted war there.

When Hideki Tojo was in high spirits in China, he had just taken Grünberg and marched down the mountain, and when he received the telegram, he keenly guessed the intention of the base camp, that is, there was no fleet to respond, and they were trapped in India, far away from home.

There are no reinforcements, no supplies, they talk about fighting alone, they have no way out.

"Yaga!!"

He angrily shredded the message, and a high-level meeting ensued.

After Seishiro Itagaki and other generals heard that there was no backup and no response to the fleet, one by one the fierce lights were exposed, and their anger was completely stimulated.

Seishiro Itagaki gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency Commander, we are going to change our strategy, we are going to fight for ourselves!" ”

"yes!"

Koji Miyano then said: "Since there is death and no life, then let's let go of our hands and feet and completely stand here and hold our feet!" Defeat the British, who are not many here and have a weak will to fight, and occupy this colony! ”

Hideki Tojo's face was gloomy, he knew that there might be something unspeakable in the base camp of the Dao Road, but he was definitely not willing to be left alone. He ordered to spread out the captured map of the British army, and after a cursory examination, he ordered: "I order, divide the troops to seize the surrounding villages and towns, take Bihar with the most effective speed, and attack to the west while advancing to the south!" Order the Gangcun Department, do not advance in a straight line, occupy the territory along the way, completely strangle all the British troops, and no longer prepare for peace talks! ”

Following his order, the message flew to Fang Cun Ningci, who was constantly building bridges.

He pinched the telegram and quickly became famous, this time he did not know how to simply block it, it was for him to occupy all the areas along the way, that is, to launch a full-scale attack on the British colony and occupy it.

After he comprehended the intention, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and then he ordered: "Order, the troops are deployed, with the wing as a unit, to attack in all directions, the 16th Division is still the main force unchanged, only go to the predetermined target Savage Mountain!"
