Heroes of the War of Resistance

Facing the sudden and violent attack, the Japanese troops who had been stationed in Longzhou City for a while were also caught off guard.The Japanese army guarding the gate of the city was successfully defeated by the commando of the first division without even closing the gate.

There are only half of the brigade of little devils left in the city, and half of the second brigade of second devils recruited from the colonies. Facing the elite division that entered the city, they couldn't resist at all.Under the defeat, the Japanese army quickly sent a telegram for help.

It's just that the Japanese garrison officers stationed in Longzhou knew very well that they might not be able to wait for reinforcements.It would take half a day for the reinforcements closest to them to arrive.When the reinforcements come, it is estimated that they can only collect their bodies.

At the same time, Hu Biao, who had already returned to Yongfu City, said extremely calmly: "Send a report to Chief Bai and tell him that he can do it! In addition, you can also tell him that our guerrillas in southern Guangxi will also cooperate in the harassment. , Let them advance with confidence!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Bai Chongxi, who had assembled three main divisions, said excitedly: "Okay! Finally, I have waited for this telegram! Order the troops to immediately launch a fierce attack on the Japanese positions, regain the lost ground, and put Drive the little devil out of Guinan!"

"Yes, General!"

Following Bai Chongxi's order, the three main divisions assembled by the Gui army, under the cover of powerful artillery fire, launched a fierce attack on the defensive positions built by the Japanese army.And behind the Japanese positions, there were occasional cannon and gunshots.

Because there is still a little distance between the defensive positions built by the Japanese army and the county town occupied by the Japanese army behind.Hearing the sound of guns and cannons coming from the front, the defenders in the city were about to go for reinforcements, but found that they were strongly blocked.

Without strong reinforcements from the rear, no matter how tenacious the Japanese troops stationed in the front line, the little devil could not last long in the face of the full attack of the three elite divisions.For this counterattack, Bai Chongxi also made meticulous preparations!

"General, there is a battle report from the front line. The reinforcement troops sent by the Japanese army are being blocked halfway, and it is expected to arrive at the Japanese forward position even later. In the current situation, is it necessary to urge the front troops to step up their attack!"

"Okay! Now that the little devil's reinforcements can't come up for a while, if you don't seize the opportunity to complete the breakthrough, wait for the little devil's reinforcements to come up, and then think about the sudden little devil's defense line, I'm afraid you will have to pay a higher price! Fight, at all costs, ruthlessly Hit hard!"

"Yes, General!"

Knowing that the Japanese reinforcements encountered obstruction, Bai Chongxi also sighed: "Brother Hu really keeps his word! If we can't complete the breakthrough as soon as possible, it will be a joke. Break through the Japanese defense line, and the subsequent battles will be easier to fight." gone."

As Bai Chongxi expected, the first division launched a surprise attack on the Japanese army from the southern side of the border in Guangxi.The Second Division was responsible for encircling and annihilating the main force of the Japanese army entering Indochina, while the rest of the guerrillas spread out in all directions and harassed the garrison troops stationed by the Japanese army in various places.

For a while, the smoke from Haiphong City had not yet cleared, and the south of Guangxi was fighting vigorously again.What was even more troublesome to the Japanese army was that the Qiongdao guerrilla column, which had been dormant for a period of time, also began to attack everywhere to harass the Japanese troops stationed in Qiongdao.

The iron ore field, which the Japanese army focused on earlier, was also heavily bombarded by guerrilla columns.When the nearby Japanese army reinforcements arrived, the workers and prisoners of war detained in the mine were also rescued by the guerrilla column, and the mine was also severely damaged.

The sudden chain reaction caught the Japanese army by surprise.The Japanese fleet, which was on standby outside Haiphong City, had to return to Yangcheng temporarily, and sent a group of reinforcement troops temporarily dispatched from Guangdong Province to Qiongdao.

By the time Japanese reinforcements arrived, the guerrilla columns that had attacked multiple mines and Japanese garrisons had safely returned to their base in the mountains.The column leaders were extremely happy to see the rescued laborers and prisoners of war.

"Okay! After this battle, we can expand at least two main groups!"

"Yeah! I thought before that, just because we

With his strength, it may not be easy to sneak attack on the heavily guarded mines of the little devil.Unexpectedly, the little devil is at the mine, and most of the defenders sent are second devils, and their combat effectiveness is very weak! "

"That can't be underestimated! If we don't have the weapons and equipment supported by Mr. Hu, do you think we can break through the defense line of the mine defenders with our previous equipment? This time, we just caught the little devil by surprise.

With the little devil's pissing nature, they will definitely retaliate crazily next.Inform the guerrillas everywhere and pay close attention to the little devil's every move.In addition, the rescued miners are properly arranged, and young and strong people who are willing to join the team are selected from them to form a recruit team. "

"Yes, Captain!"

Although the Japanese army has occupied Qiongdao for some time, the communication between Hu Biao and the Qiongdao column has never been broken.Even after the army learned the news, they specially mobilized capable forces to come to Qiongdao to guide and cooperate with the work.

With the military backbone sent by the headquarters, plus the equipment and supplies sent by Hu Biao every now and then, the guerrilla column developed rapidly.Especially after listening to Hu Biao's suggestion, the guerrilla column also attached great importance to military training.

Compared with the past, when you have weapons and soldiers, you will rush out to trouble the little devils.For more time, the guerrillas hid in the dense forest for training.After receiving the combat mission, the main force will be sent out to ambush the little devil's supply or mopping up team.

This completely random attack method also caused headaches for the Japanese army.Although several large-scale raids were organized, the effect was still not obvious.But this time, the guerrilla column attacked with all its strength, and the little devil suffered heavy losses.

It will take a long time for the destroyed mines alone and the rescued labor prisoners of war to be captured from other places.There is also iron ore being mined, which will definitely not be able to continue to supply the smelter in a short time! 7

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Originally, in the eyes of all parties, the colonial army stationed in Indochina, which had lost strong domestic support, had basically no choice but to surrender to the Japanese army.But no one expected that the colonial army seemed to be extremely tough.

Just going deep into the Indochina colony, many people will be surprised to find that there are not many French soldiers left to fight in the colony.Even Louis, who had just been promoted by the government-in-exile, stayed with the English army at the moment.

Regarding the defensive combat mission of Indochina, Louis also seemed very generous, and directly handed it over to the newly promoted Brigadier General Peake.But in fact, Peake, the so-called brigadier general, has extremely limited troops under his command.

When the main force of the Japanese army transferred from other occupied areas came to Haiphong City again, the Japanese army entered the city safely after shelling, only to find that Haiphong City was completely empty.Except for a small number of aboriginals who searched for food in the city, there were no soldiers at all.

The Japanese commander who led the team into the city was extremely surprised and said, "What about you? Didn't you see a single soldier?"

"Yes, Squadron Leader! The whole city has been searched, and except for a few aborigines hiding in the city and stealing things, there is no trace of any troops at all. Judging from the traces left on the battlefield, the troops guarding the city before should have withdrawn It's been a few days."

"Baga! How did this happen! Quickly, report the situation to His Excellency the brigade commander immediately, and continue to expand the search area. Also, capture some of the aborigines who are hiding in the city, and try to ask about the situation in the city."

"Hi!"

I thought that attacking Haiphong City again would require another bloody battle.As a result, a lot of shells were wasted, but Haiphong City had already become empty.The head of the infantry brigade staying on board was also extremely surprised to hear the news.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Shuo! Our opponent is very cunning! The troops stationed here before should have moved into the dense forest and mountains behind. The mysterious troops that ambushed the Ono Brigade are likely to be the defenders of Haiphong City !"

In view of the fierce counterattack launched by the Guangxi army, after the deployed defense line was breached, the Japanese troops stationed in southern Guangxi soon fell into a state of defeat.In desperation, the Japanese army could only announce the withdrawal of troops from southern Guangxi.

The last batch of troops has boarded a ship from Qinzhou to Qiongdao to rest.For the Japanese army, as long as the city of Haiphong is captured, it makes no difference whether Guangnan is occupied or not.This transportation and supply line has no meaning for existence anymore.

The voluntary withdrawal of the Japanese army has a different meaning to the Guangxi army who regained the lost ground.Bai Chongxi also felt extremely happy when he learned that the entire territory of southern Guangxi had been recovered.After the news came out, Bai Chongxi's prestige among the anti-Japanese troops was further enhanced.

In addition to being happy, Bai Chongxi also knew who he needed to thank most for this great victory.Many counties that had been occupied before had their gates wide open when his troops arrived.The little devils stationed in the city were either wiped out or fled.

The three elite divisions prepared, except for the fierce counterattacks, hardly encountered too fierce battles later.Just when Bai Chongxi was worried about where the guerrillas formed by Hu Biao would go, those guerrillas left in a low-key manner.

What makes Bai Chongxi even more depressed is that many local people, although they are more enthusiastic about their return.But in fact, there are more ordinary people who bid farewell to those guerrillas, which also makes the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi army a little ashamed.

It was as if a commoner said bluntly: "I know that you are the troops of the two officers, Li and Bai, and you are a regular army. We are really happy that you can fight back. But why did you come back now? Why did you go so early? Woolen cloth?

Little devils occupied our city, robbed our food, and killed our people. Where were you at that time?Without these guerrillas, many of us would not be alive today, let alone wait for you to fight back.I can't bear them, is that wrong? "

Such questioning really made the officers and soldiers of the Guangxi army speechless.It is true that they regained the lost ground, but they failed to show up when the people needed it most.On the other hand, these guerrillas hiding in the mountains in the countryside guard the peace and life of these common people.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world! The old saying is true! Order the troops not to discuss matters related to the guerrillas. Then tell the county magistrates sent there to appease the people and do a good job in post-war reconstruction and appeasement."

"Yes, sir!"

Hu Biao didn't pay too much attention to the war that took place in southern Guangxi.The guerrillas that seemed to be organized in various places have been transferred to the colony as ordered.But in the local area, the guerrilla bases are still preserved.

After the Japanese army completely withdrew from southern Guangxi, Hu Biao instructed the local guerrillas to transport a batch of seized weapons, ammunition and supplies to Qiongdao through secret channels, and hand them over to the guerrilla column that was about to expand the army, allowing them to further strengthen their strength.

Through the defensive counterattack around Haiphong City, the two main divisions under Hu Biao's command once again wiped out tens of thousands of little devils' combat troops.Because of this, the little devil finally chose to withdraw from the whole territory of southern Guangxi out of desperation.

In this way, it is undoubtedly declared that the Battle of Southern Guangxi provoked by the Japanese army was a complete failure.If the Japanese army wants to launch another attack, I am afraid that more troops will be needed next time.But what's the point of the Japanese occupation in southern Guangxi?

Hu Biao ordered all the troops evacuated from the war zone to be stationed in the newly opened settlements.In addition to relocating troops, a large number of civilians, escorted by horse teams and troops, arrived at the established settlements one after another.

Except for the two county towns of Shillong and Funing, which are still under the jurisdiction of the wolf army, several small neighboring towns are basically under the control of Hu Biao.It can be said that the colonies bordering Yunnan and Guangxi provinces at this moment are basically under the control of Hu Biao.

Knowing that the Japanese army had occupied Haiphong City, Hu Biao immediately instructed the Second Division, which had built fortifications in the jungle, to stand there for a period of time.In addition to guarding against Japanese bombing, try to contain the little devils through guerrilla harassment.

Considering that there should be no major battles in Guangxi Province in the near future, Hu Biao gave the first division an order to switch to the battle.Except for keeping one regiment and continuing to sit in Xilong, the rest of the main force of the first division were all transferred to Zhenning Prefecture to disperse and station.
