Chapter 242: Involuntary (1)

In Ha Duong City, Xue Ru laughed at the statement of the Nationalist Government, Lao Jiang's reaction could not be more normal, if she recognized the Snow Fox's actions, it would undoubtedly declare war on France, and she knew this result from the time she decided to lead the Snow Fox Corps into North Vietnam.

It was precisely because he knew that he couldn't bring everyone here, and when he turned the snow fox into two divisions, he started in advance to form a new snow fox brigade, and it was these loyal people who followed Xue Ru into Vietnam together. Regarding Chiang Kai-shek's order, Xue Ru's decision not to enter China again, Dai Zong and the others scoffed, want to go back, can you stop it?

Xue Ru's action did not cause an ordinary shock, the Japanese side reacted more fiercely than the French, no matter how the Chinese government declared, but one thing can be understood, Snow Fox only took three days to occupy Ha Long Harbor, the French governor Cadol and the French commander General Balden, although there were tens of thousands of troops, but did not dare to attack, but transferred the Annam division in Saigon to the north.

The reason why everyone understands is that in a short period of time, Ha Long Port was reopened to traffic through the highway from Lang Son to Nanning, and every day a large number of supplies entered Ha Duong through Haiphong and then entered China through the Ning Lang Highway.

It didn't take long for it to be practical, and even people who didn't care about politics understood that Xue Ru's expulsion from the Nationalist Government was just a lie to the French. The Nationalist Government declared that Xue Ru was an act of his own person, not an act of the Chinese Government, and that it had nothing to do with the Chinese Government whether the French army connived at or exterminated him.

Because China is engaged in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and is incapable of management. In addition to protesting against this, the French government could only order Bardon to use troops against Snow Fox and take back northern Vietnam, otherwise Japan might send troops to North Vietnam to create a pretext for Japan to occupy the southeastern peninsula.

"Miss Report, who do you see coming back?" With Zhang Jiu's words, Qiao Han came in from outside and raised his hand to salute: "I'm sorry Miss, Qiao Han disappointed you." ”

Xue Ru stood up suddenly, Qiao Han and they were surrounded and their whereabouts are unknown, these days she has been worried, the northern part of Vietnam is sparsely populated, the environment is not good, they are surrounded by the French army The most worried about something, now seeing him standing in front of him, he said happily: "What sorry, it's okay if people are fine, what about the others?" ”

Qiao Han shook his head: "I don't know, Zhao Dele and their whereabouts are unknown after they broke through from the Snow Wolf Cottage, and I can't get in touch." ”

Xue Ru can't help it, the means of communication are backward, and it is difficult to establish contact once it is lost. After Qiao Han and the others sneaked over the encirclement of the French army from the dense forest that day, they moved to the countryside to hide. After all, the French army had a limited number of troops and could not inspect them on a region-by-area basis, so Qiao Han and them could escape.

When she heard the discussion of the common people, she realized that the young lady led the troops into northern Vietnam and occupied the three counties of Ha Duong, forcing France to agree to the autonomy of the three counties. Qiao Han brought the rest of his people to Heyang to return to the team, but Zhao Dele and them had no news.

Xue Ru knew that the calm was only temporary, and the French were forced by Japanese pressure to inevitably move troops against Snow Fox, and what three counties were autonomous, it was just a lie. Both the Annam and Hanoi divisions were moving around Ha Duong, and once the encirclement was formed, the French army would attack in a big way.

Thirty-nine years are about to pass, Xue Ru must hold out until September of forty-nine, World War II is completely started, will the French still have the ability to manage themselves at that time? But how do you persevere through this period of time? Then the French must know what pain is, and no longer dare to covet the northern regions.

Staring at the map in front of him, Xue Ru didn't know what to do, because the number of Snow Fox Corps was too small, only about 3,000 people, but the total number of French two divisions was more than 20,000 people, although the French army's combat effectiveness could not be compared with the Japanese army, but there were warships at sea, there were planes in Hanoi, and the number of people far exceeded that of Snow Fox.

The most important thing is that the snow fox originally had no scruples, he wanted to fight, he wanted to go, but now it is different, the original snow wolf cottage centered on Heyang has now become the logistics and materials of the snow fox, and the materials concentrated in various places are in Heyang, and from here through the Langshan Highway to Nanning, Xue Ru leaves here, will inevitably lose control of this road, once it is damaged, it is difficult to repair.

According to the demands of the Japanese, the French army had demolished the Lao Cai Railway and destroyed the bridge leading to Kunming, completely cutting off the passage of supplies to China. Nowadays, there is only one road, the Langning Highway.

A large number of supplies in Haiphong Port could not be transported out of the port due to the restrictions of the French army, so Xue Ru could not lose here. There are places where the snow fox's mobility ability is limited, and in the face of more than 20,000 troops, pressed up from all sides, Xue Ru couldn't come up with any good way, and looked at the map with a frown.

"Report" Liu Quan came in: "Miss domestic intelligence: The Japanese 5th Division landed in Qinzhou Bay and attacked Nanning, and the 175th Division collapsed and lost the coastal defense. ”

Xue Ru set his eyes on the direction of Qinzhou Bay, no wonder Japan didn't move, as long as they occupied Nanning, it would be useless to control this road by themselves. It seems that Japan did not intend to go to war with France, nor did it send troops to Vietnam, but intended to cut off this transportation route from Chinese territory.

The 5th Division? Hmph, you think your aunt really can't clean you up. said to Liu Quan: "Send a telegram to the New Ninth Army in Liuzhou, let them go south immediately, regardless of the orders of the Fourth War Zone, I will wait for them in Longzhou." ”

"Yes" Liu Quanli agreed and immediately sent a telegram to Guo Jingchu of the New Ninth Army in Liuzhou. Xue Ru said, "Inform Dai Zong to come and see me." ”

Dai Zong is reorganizing the Snow Fox Corps with Qiao Han and a few people, and expanding a brigade on the original basis, most of them are recruited by locals, and some are Qiao Han's original subordinates.

Zhang Donglin and the others bought back the weapons and equipment of a division, which was enough to arm more than 10,000 people, and Snow Fox only had about 3,000 people now, so of course he was not afraid of expanding the establishment. Zhang Donglin's local policies have made the conditions in northern Vietnam very good, and have won the support of a large number of people, especially the majority of Chinese in these areas.

The French rule, of course, was the first class for whites, the second class for Vietnamese, and apart from other British, French, and Indian, the people under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General were third, and the Chinese were fourth. I was bullied for working and farming, but now I am proud. The control around is the Chinese Snow Fox Corps, it is the Chinese, for the National Government does not recognize the Snow Fox as the Chinese army, but the people don't care about that, they just know who is good for them.

Xue Ru didn't participate in letting Zhang Donglin get it himself, which gave him the opportunity to show his talents. With Ha Duong as the center, Ha Long Bay in the east and then to Yi Quang in the east, Thanh Thanh in the south, and Lang Son in the north, a total of six counties in this area became the North Vietnam Autonomous Region. A council was formed, a district government was formed, and the exercise of administrative power began.

For Zhang Donglin's set, the rich and powerful people looked on coldly, and only those who enthusiastically supported the poor people. Because the French army is gathering here, Snow Fox only has a few people, can it be an opponent I don't know?

At the beginning, they all supported the Snow Wolf Cottage, and it was not that the French were destroyed, so although Zhang Donglin used his best efforts, the majority of people were still watching, and everyone had only one thought in their hearts, whether the Snow Fox could stand still.

Zhang Donglin didn't ask Xue Ru, and Xue Ru didn't tell him, but Zhang Donglin just believed that Xue Ru was okay and the French would not be opponents. Therefore, no matter what the situation is, they still arrange their own affairs step by step. Each county elected a member of the district council to elect a district councillor, enacted a law for the autonomous region, and moved the American system to the north of Vietnam.

In fact, deep down, Xue Ru didn't want this, she wanted to incorporate the northern region of Vietnam into the Chinese territory, and she didn't plan to become independent here. But she didn't care about this, and left it to Zhang Donglin to deal with it, but he came up with such a district government.

The most important feature is Zhang Donglin's proclamation that all people in the autonomous region, regardless of nationality or nationality, are equal, enjoy democracy, freedom, equality, and fair treatment, and have the right to vote and to stand for election. After talking about it a few times, Zhang Donglin's sense of belonging to the country and the superiority of democratic politics, Xue Ru couldn't say any reason for opposing it, so he didn't care, let him go!

Knowing that the Japanese army was attacking Nanning on a large scale, Xue Ru could only put down the affairs of Vietnam first and focus on the domestic aspect. Xue Ru didn't care too much about the attack on the 20,000 French troops, although the Snow Fox Corps now only had about 4,000 people, but the French army couldn't do it if they wanted to eliminate the Snow Fox.

Dai Zong came to Xue Ru's office: "Miss, what should we do?" ”

Xue Ru said: "Transfer a brigade to form a crack squad to attack Hanoi to control the governor's palace and the French army headquarters. ”

Dai Zong's eyes lit up: "Okay, decapitation operation." ”

Xue Ru shook his head: "It's not beheading, you can't kill them, it's a hijacking order, so that Cadol and Bardon ordered the French army to stop acting, we have to deal with the devils in Nanning first." ”

Dai Zong nodded disappointedly, he thought that the young lady was going to capture Kadol and control the whole of Vietnam in one fell swoop! Xue Ru saw him disappointed and said, "Don't be disappointed, I have a bigger goal, this is only temporary." What to do after controlling them, I think you know, is to maintain the stability now, wait until the devil 21st Army is solved, and then go back to deal with the French here. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Dai Zong was happy again. It seems that the young lady has bigger moves and plans, and what he is looking forward to is what kind of plan. But if you don't use Snow Fox, what will Miss use to deal with the 5th Division that attacked Nanning?

But the young lady didn't say it, that is, there were other plans. After Dai Zong returned, he discussed with Qiao Han, Qiao Han insisted on leading the team to Hanoi, Dai Zong knew that Qiao Han wanted revenge, this time the Snow Wolf Cottage was destroyed, he was almost killed as a prisoner, Zhao Dele has not heard from him until now, although the young lady did not say a word, but she could also see that she was in a bad mood.

This is entirely because Qiao Han believed Xiao Yong's words, and the people of the Japanese inspection team did not eliminate them, but let the French destroy the Snow Wolf Cottage and eliminate his Snow Wolf Brigade. This time to raid Hanoi, of course he was going. Dai Zong did not fight with him, but transferred the first brigade, with Qiao Han as the captain, and more than 1,000 people were all snow fox elites, changed their clothes and left the snow fox control area in batches to go to Hanoi.

Xue Ru's plan was bold enough, Hanoi was the center of France in Vietnam, originally in Saigon, in order to control the northern region, the middle place to Cambodia was handed over to the Vietnamese Emperor Nguyen, the south belonged to the Indochina Governor's Palace, and the northern part of Vietnam was completely decided by him, the Governor's Palace.

Xue Ru also didn't want to start a war with France at this time, although they had a long way to go and couldn't march quickly, but Britain and France were allies, and once a war with France started, Britain would inevitably participate. European countries will also stand on the side of France, and Xue Ru still knows this about the international situation. She was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the moment when Hitler destroyed the law, and there was still half a year to go.

Japan, which did not give up, attacked Nanning at this time and wanted to block the transportation channel from China, so it would solve the devil first.

In the military headquarters of the New Ninth Army in Liuzhou, Liu Yuanshan, commander of the 73rd Division, Lai Changwen of the 77th Division, Li Wenxiu, chief of staff of the army, and Guo Jingchu, commander of the army, were very serious. Liu Yuanshan, Lai Changwen, and Li Wenxiu stared at Guo Jingchu deadly.

Xue Ru's telegram order arrived, let the New Ninth Army go to Longzhou, she will wait for the New Ninth Army in Longzhou, no matter how good Guo Jingchu usually says, at this time you can see who to listen to.

Because the order of Zhang Fakui of the Fourth Theater arrived at the same time as Xue Ru's order, the troops of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army went ashore from Qinzhou Bay in three ways and attacked Nanning. Although the troops of the Fourth Theater tried their best to block the attack, the Japanese army relied on aircraft and artillery, and the 16th Group Army suffered heavy losses and retreated one after another, and Nanning was afraid of danger. Zhang Fakui ordered the New Ninth Army to enter the blocking operation and prepare to enter Nanning to block the attack.

Xue Ru's order and Zhang Fakui's order arrived at the same time, and Guo Jingchu's answer was the key. Guo Jingchu looked at the appearance of the three people, and smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't want to openly disobey the order, but listening to Zhang Fakui, I was afraid that his two division commanders and one chief of staff would not listen to him at all.

smiled and said: "Don't look at me like this, of course I will listen to Miss's orders, but the road from Liuzhou to Longzhou is not close, once the war zone knows that we don't listen to orders, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Lai Changwen pouted: "What are the consequences, order the army to surround and destroy us?" Jokes, even the Japanese didn't understand, and they still want to fight against Snow Fox? ”

Li Wenxiu said: "What does Commander Guo mean? ”

Guo Jingchu said: "It's nothing, if we don't listen to the orders of the war zone, we must be prepared to be rebels, otherwise we will secretly go to Longzhou to see how the young lady decides." ”

Seeing Guo Jingchu say this, Liu Yuanshan said: "What does the army commander want to do?" ”
