In order to preserve the only fruits of victory, the main force of the Japanese army retreated from the front line and began to capture the area bordering southern Guangxi and Indochina.Longzhou City, which caused heavy losses to the Little Devil's Air Force earlier, was finally captured by the Japanese army.

What made the Japanese army feel helpless was that the originally bustling Longzhou City had been reduced to ruins after the war.In order to occupy this city, the Japanese army paid a heavy price for more than half a brigade.

What made the Japanese army even more angry was that the garrison in charge of guarding Longzhou City was still under the nose of the Japanese army and safely withdrew from the battle.When the Japanese army tried to pursue them, those troops who pursued into the mountains ended up suffering heavy losses.

The main force of the Japanese army that took over the area bordering Indochina and retreated safely also began to strengthen the control of these occupied areas.Just when they were about to launch a big raid to wipe out the anti-Japanese armed forces that had harassed the supply line earlier, they found that there was no one there.

Fewer mopping-up troops were dispatched, and sometimes these mopping-up troops would never return.There were more mopping-up troops dispatched, and they spent more time circling in the mountains. They couldn't even see the shadow of the anti-Japanese armed forces, and they couldn't find anyone to fight against.

This strange situation even made many Japanese army commanders extremely suspicious: "Baga! These hidden resistance armed forces have a very similar combat style to the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest. It is very likely that they are armed by the Eighth Route Army!"

The reason for making this judgment is that the big raid organized in Qiongdao earlier, the little devils wiped out many anti-Japanese armed forces.According to the investigation of the officers and soldiers who raided, those anti-Japanese armed forces were under the command and leadership of the Eighth Route Army.

Since the existence of the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces was discovered in Qiongdao, isn't it normal that there are Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Guangxi?When it comes to guerrilla warfare and fighting behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army is the real master and expert!

When Bai Chongxi learned that the Japanese army finally withdrew their troops and gave up their plan to continue attacking Nanning, Bai Chongxi, who successfully defended Nanning, also breathed a sigh of relief.Faced with the counterattack proposed by his subordinates, he finally chose to refuse.

The reason was simple. Bai Chongxi felt that the main force of the Japanese army still remained, and if they switched from defense to offense, they would lose their current combat advantage.To be able to hold on until now, in addition to the life of the three armed forces, the fortifications deployed earlier have also played a huge role.

If a counterattack is launched against the Japanese army, this battlefield advantage will be lost.At that time, the surviving combat troops may still pay a heavy price.A temporary truce is undoubtedly the wisest choice.

Secondly, although Bai Chongxi did not get an answer from Hu Biao, he knew that the anti-Japanese armed forces that harassed the Japanese army's supply line were not the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese army suspected, but the combat troops under Hu Biao's command.

Although he felt that Hu Biao's development speed was astonishing, Bai Chongxi knew in his heart that he should be most grateful to Hu Biao for being able to keep Nanning this time.With the anti-Japanese armed forces formed by Hu Biao in the occupied areas, he felt that the little devils would never be safe.

What surprised Bai Chongxi the most was that most of the gentry living in the occupied areas retreated with their families to the rear controlled by the Guangxi army shortly after the Battle of Southern Guangxi started.These people also played a great role in the Gui army's control of Gui province.

I thought that these people were likely to seek refuge with the little devil, or even work for the little devil.Unexpectedly, most of the squires chose to relocate.He would rather give up his family business in the enemy-occupied area than stay in the enemy-occupied area and be bullied by the little devils.

This approach also dispelled some of Bai Chongxi's inner worries.He felt that Hu Biao should still be trustworthy.Even if the anti-Japanese armed forces were formed in the occupied areas, it was more to attack the little devils than to grab their territory.

The Battle of South Guangxi came to an end temporarily. Hu Biao confessed that the combat troops who had withdrawn from the Japanese-controlled area would use the existing controlled area as the forward position and began to increase defense efforts to prevent the Japanese army from continuing to infiltrate into the Baise area.

As long as the little devils don't attack aggressively, the wolf army is still dormant and developing.As long as it is ensured that the little devil cannot attack Shillong by land, then he will not make too much trouble for the little devil.Of course, the necessary actual combat training is still very necessary.

Right now, the little devils are still deploying a lot of garrison troops in the occupied area. The existence of these garrison troops has also become the best target for actual combat training of Hu Biao's newly formed troops.Over time, the number of veterans under his command with actual combat experience will increase rapidly.

In addition, what made the little devil even more troublesome was that the rate of loss of people in the occupied area was beyond their expectations.In some villages, there are even cases where the whole village is empty.In Hu Biao's view, population is also a kind of war resource.

Hu Biao will also solicit the opinions of the people in the occupied areas who have been transferred out.If they are willing to live in the area controlled by the Gui army, they will escort them to the place where the Gui army is defending, and let the Gui army resettle these fleeing people.

If he is willing to live in Baise or the territory controlled by the wolf army, Hu Biao will also ask the local army to properly resettle these people.The large loss of population in the occupied areas will also make these counties controlled by the Japanese army like a chicken rib, which is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard!

Xu Sandao, Qin Tianyou, Lei Xiong and others are in charge of the affairs in southern Guizhou, Hu Biao is still very relieved.Hu Biao also asked Xu Sandao to take full charge of Fuzhou City, which had just started construction, and began to resettle the people who had escaped from the occupied areas.

In short, the flames of war in southern Guangxi have temporarily ceased, and Hu Biao is also very happy to see this situation.As for the private cold war, Hu Biao was not afraid of the Japanese army at all.The current strength of the wolf army in the southwest is already qualified to compete with the troops deployed by the little devil in the southwest.

It is precisely because of this self-confidence that Hu Biao plans to have a good talk with Dai Li who came uninvited.I hope that through Dai Li, the worries of the mountain city will be dispelled.At least Hu Biao didn't want to see someone stabbing him in the back.

After a sincere apology, which was to save some face for Dai Li, the two also began to toast and drink.For Dai Li, even though he had dealt with Hu Biao a lot, this was the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with Hu Biao.

What surprised and sighed Dai Li was Hu Biao's youth and strength.The combination of these two is indeed enough to make Hu Biao do something to change the current situation.He even felt that maybe Shancheng's worry was indeed necessary.

After drinking for three rounds, Hu Biao also said very directly: "Brother Yunong, may I take the liberty to ask, what is the important thing for you to go to Dagon this time?"

"Brother Hu, you are also a soldier, so you should know this kind of confidential matter, and it's inconvenient for me to tell you!"

Hearing what Dai Li said, Hu Biao no longer insisted: "Okay! Since it involves confidential matters, forgive me for taking the liberty earlier. Although you and I met for the first time, we have a very close relationship. My brother asked, How does that person see me?"

Such a straightforward question really surprised Dai Li. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why? My brother suspects that I am here for you? Your contribution to country D is well known, and the principal treats you very well." Take it seriously!"

"Really? Brother Yunong, you and I don't deal with each other once or twice. I like to go straight when I talk about things. If Brother Yunong thinks that it is inconvenient to talk to my brother about the truth, then I will treat you like a younger brother and buy you a drink today. Don't talk about it." State affairs!"

Hu Biao really wanted to make friends with Dai Li, who was very powerful and was regarded as a confidant by the person in Shancheng.But the attitude shown by the other party still disappointed Hu Biao.Since we can't be friends, there's no need to continue talking.

Even Hu Biao has decided that if Dai Li doesn't show some sincerity today, then Hu Biao's future cooperation with the military commander will gradually decrease or even end.If the military leader dares to trouble him, Hu Biao doesn't mind giving some warnings.

From Hu Biao's tone, Dai Li also felt a trace of dissatisfaction and anger. In desperation, he could only smile wryly: "Brother, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask. I want to know why my brother didn't accept the principal's kindness." Woolen cloth?"

"Brother Yunong, what kind of good intentions are you referring to? Take his orders, obey his command and dispatch? I'm sorry, I used to do this, but in the end I became an abandoned child. Not only me, but even my brothers who depend on life and death , were all discarded.

Of course, I know you will say that he also has difficulties, and he has to think about the overall situation.Then can I think that at some point in the future, for the sake of the so-called overall situation, he can directly push me out?At that time, what will happen to me?

In other words, how could I refuse the appointment he gave me?Externally, I am still a major general appointed by the Nationalist government. What he is dissatisfied with is that I did not go to see him, and that I did not show the so-called loyalty to him like everyone else, right?

But my brother should be clear, from the defense of Jinling to the current battle of southern Guangxi, my brothers and I have wiped out a lot of little devils, right?Most of these credits are handed over to others.To put it bluntly, I can be regarded as saving face for him, right?

When I joined the army, I was alone.For me, those brothers and subordinates are my family.I don't worry about handing them over to a person who may be pushed up to block the gun or abandoned at any time! "

Although these words are watery, they also represent some of Hu Biao's real thoughts.Having personally experienced this war of resistance, Hu Biao has seen countless scenes of soldiers of the national army fighting bloody battles.But they are both members of the anti-Japanese army, why should they be divided into the direct line and the miscellaneous army?

The troops of the direct line can get the strong support of the mountain city.Why are those so-called miscellaneous troops, or anti-Japanese troops that he doesn't like, sometimes unable to meet basic logistical support?

This kind of differential treatment may be the reason why Hu Biao has always been suspicious of Shancheng and unwilling to be loyal to him!

Text Chapter 94 Unfathomable

The Battle of Southern Guangxi, which lasted for several months, finally ended with the helpless retreat of the Japanese army.The Guangxi Army, which successfully prevented the Japanese army from continuing to advance to the hinterland, paid a heavy price for this.The frontline battle ended, and the Japanese army began to build a defense line in the occupied area.

Although the national government thought about driving the Japanese army out of southern Guangxi and restoring the transportation and supply lines that were cut off before the war.But after some discussion, Bai Chongxi, who participated in the meeting, expressed helplessly that it would be very difficult to recover the lost land in southern Guizhou.

Relying on the powerful naval and air forces, the Japanese army occupying coastal and border areas can invest more troops at any time.In order to regain the lost ground, it is necessary to invest a large number of elite troops, and beware of the Japanese army increasing its troops at any time.

In view of the fact that the Japanese army has completed the occupation of Qiongdao, they even built air bases on several islands in the outer sea.Unless the national government is willing to invest more air force in counter-offensive operations, it will still be difficult to restore this transportation line.

After all, the external transportation and supply line located in southern Guangxi, because it is too close to the coastline, is always within the strike range of Japanese fighter planes.However, the national government's air force is limited, and it is difficult to fight against enemy planes that take off from the sea.

Although the Japanese army lost an aircraft carrier formation in the open sea, the Japanese army later transferred a new aircraft carrier battle group from other places.As for the disappearing submarine formation, the national government still does not know where it emerged from.

The Japanese army, which had been searching the surrounding waters for several days, still failed to collect much effective information.The Menian naval formation stationed in Luzon, which had been suspected before, was also dispelled by the Japanese military's special high-level class.

Thinking of the few ships that had been seized before, the Japanese army also felt that they had suffered a lot in the southwest.Behind this series of defeats, there must be secret support from external forces, and the surrounding colonial governments must have participated in it.

Unable to find the real culprit behind the scenes, the little devils set their minds on their presumed accomplices.If the colonial government controlling Indochina knew that the little devil thought this way, they might have said the last sentence 'I was wronged' helplessly!

It's a pity that for the Japanese army at this time, they also needed an excuse to go to war.Given that the current situation in the European battlefield is still unclear, even the Japanese army is also waiting.Let's see if their allies can continue to defeat each other.

Once the allies gain the initiative on the battlefield, Fuso will also declare war on the hostile side on the Asian side.If they can seize the colonies of these opponents in Asia, it will also play an extremely important role in Fuso's plan to dominate Asia.

Hu Biao also heard some rumors about the news that the Japanese military's special high school was frantically collecting military intelligence in Nanyang and other places. Through Shushu's intelligence stations stationed overseas.For the next stage of the Japanese army's plans, Hu Biao knew better than anyone else.

The end of the Battle of Southern Guangxi also means the end of [-], and the [-]th year is about to enter.If Hu Biao's memory is correct, after Germany's victory in the European battlefield, it also gave the Japanese army great courage to formally launch an invasion of the Indochina colony.

This also means that there is not much time left for Hu Biao and the wolf army to prepare for the war.For Hu Biao at this moment, he is looking forward to the Japanese army sending troops to Indochina, but he also hopes to plunder more fruits of victory from this war.

Watching the caravan headed for Dagon continue on the road, Hu Biao only met with Dai Li in the tent for a while.Even when they finally woke up, those subordinates responsible for protecting Dai Li didn't know who Dai Li was talking to.

When the caravan disappeared from sight, Hu Biao summoned a guard and said, "Notify the armed forces along the way to secretly protect this caravan. When the other party returns, we can also provide assistance within our ability. We must not let the other party have an accident!"
