Heroes of the War of Resistance

In response to this situation, a general quickly said: "The current top priority is to expand our control area in the British colonies. The mercenaries recruited by the French cannot really work for the French.

According to the situation provided by the special high class, the sudden dispatch of the French colonial army was more due to the attack on their commander.This battle was more of a battle launched by Lieutenant General Pique, the commander of the French colony, to prove himself.

If we can give up those low-value occupied areas, focus on operating the occupied areas along the coast, and focus all our energy on attacking the British colonies.As long as the expeditionary forces sent by the Allied forces and the Chinese government are defeated, the French colonial army will also calm down! "

"Gah! Is this admitting defeat?"

"This is not an admission of defeat, but a strategic retreat. As far as the current situation is concerned, we simply cannot start two wars at the same time. If we want to defeat those mercenaries who are good at jungle warfare, we must dispatch elite troops from at least two divisions.

Without these two elite divisions, how would the remaining troops who came to reinforce them defeat the Allied forces and the Chinese expeditionary army that had replaced the Allied forces' equipment?As long as you defeat the strongest opponent, it's not too late to deal with those mercenaries later! "

After a battle, the general who chose to retreat strategically gained the upper hand.What followed was that the Japanese army shrunk the line of defense in an all-round way, and transferred all the troops originally sent to occupy the colonies back to the cities under key control along the coast.

Among them, many troops retreated directly into the territory of Xianluo country, and ordered the conscripted Xianluo army to start fighting the mercenaries.At the same time, the Japanese army also sent several supporting rebels and began to create chaos in the colonies.

After receiving the telegram from the front line, Hu Biao said thoughtfully: "It seems that the Fusang people are determined to occupy the British colony. They would rather give up the previously occupied territory than continue to fight with us. This trick It’s really not bad to use retreat as advance!”

"General Hu, shall we continue to attack?"

"No! All major battles should be stopped, and small-scale frontier conflicts can still be maintained. In the future, I will mobilize more recruits from the rear and go to the front to fight the Japanese army in rounds, so that they can accumulate actual combat experience.

As for General Peake, you can also urge the Allied forces to continue to invest more funds and weapons and equipment to maintain greater pressure on the Japanese army.As long as the gunshots here don't stop all day long, those generals won't dare to accuse you of not doing anything! "

"Thank you! I understand what you mean!"

The Japanese army took the initiative to retreat, which was indeed beyond Hu Biao's surprise.It doesn't seem like the character of the Japanese army to admit cowardly so happily.He could see what the Japanese army was up to when he saw that four of the five divisions that the Japanese army had brought in from the rear had landed in the British colonies.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send a report to the Special Warfare Brigade and let it monitor the movements of the Japanese army at all times. Then give it to the First Division and our combat troops to deal with the Japanese army's attack with all their strength. As long as you dare to step into our defense zone, you will firmly give me Call back."

"Yes, wolf head!"

"In addition, a telegram was sent to the conscription army to make all divisions in the theater ready for battle. The combat troops stationed on the front line of Gucheng should be prepared for defense. The troops trained in the country will continue to strengthen the construction of fortifications to resist the enemy in the Outside the country!"

"Yes, wolf head! But what about the Allied forces?"

"Ignore them for the time being! It is agreed to fight together, but the British colonial army has always avoided fighting. Send a sealed message to General Wei so that he can pay attention to the movements of the British colonial army. If they don't work hard, we will not help !"

"In this case, will the cooperation break down?"

"Don't worry! It's them, not us, who will ask others! As long as we hold the frontier and prevent the Japanese army from entering the country, then only the colonial army will be really uncomfortable. I also want to know, they want to withdraw to the next go there."

According to the combat plan formulated by Hu Biao earlier, the left and right routes are mainly defensive counterattacks.In the middle, it is completely left to the little devils to attack.Even if the British colonial army protested, the expeditionary army could give a reason, and they contained the Japanese army on the flank.

We can't let the expeditionary army stand in front every time, and the British colonial army hide behind to watch the show, right?You must know that according to the signed combat agreement, the expeditionary army has the right to operate independently, rather than directly obeying the command of the allied forces.

If the Allied Forces need to take on more combat missions, they must also show greater sincerity.Regarding these opinions and decisions, Hu Biao also told Wei Junru about it, and Wei Junru had no objection to it.

As a leading general, who wants to see his troops serve as cannon fodder for others?After the news came out, the commanders of the various divisions of the expeditionary army agreed with Hu Biao's decision, feeling that Hu Biao was really on their side.

If it were other commanders, in order to please the foreign generals, they might be sent up to cover the guns of the foreign devils.In short, through the two previous battles and two victories, Hu Biao's prestige in the Allied Army and the expeditionary army is really unmatched.

Before waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the Japanese army did not stop the pre-war reconnaissance.I also learned more about the situation of the expeditionary army and the allied forces.After the battle broke out, the two main battle divisions of the Japanese army went straight to Renqiang City where Sun Liren was stationed.

Its purpose is also very simple, that is, to regain the oil field that the Japanese army attaches great importance to.After two days and nights of fierce fighting, Sun Liren received a telegram from Hu Biao, telling him to retreat overnight, and the first division was responsible for intercepting the Japanese pursuit.

This also means that the first battle of the Japanese army, which made a comeback, ended in victory.While boosting the morale of the army, the Japanese army is also guessing, where will the independent division commanded by Hu Biao hide at this moment?

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

Ever since Hu Biao sent two clear-coded telegrams, the Japanese army has been extremely attentive to Hu Biao and the independent division under his command.Before the reinforcements arrived, the Super High School was also closely inquiring about the location of the independent division, and did not want to be attacked by the independent division again.

This time the Japanese army attacked Renqiang City again, directly mobilizing two elite divisions, and each division advanced at a slow speed.Once a division is attacked, the adjacent divisions can quickly reinforce it to ensure that it will not be surrounded and wiped out.

According to the situation detected by the Japanese Special High School, the independent divisions that had previously besieged and wiped out the No.30 Third Division in Renqiang City had been staying behind the New Thirty Division to rest.Although the main force is scattered and hidden, it is difficult to hide from the Japanese army who has arranged many surveillance posts.

When the Japanese army occupied Renqiang City again, one of the divisions was about to pursue the retreating New Thirty Division, but encountered strong resistance from unknown armed forces.Judging from the information collected by the Special Higher Class, the Independent Division should be covering the New Thirty Division.

Originally, the Japanese army wanted to gather the main force of the two divisions and strive to wipe out the independent division and the New Thirty Division.As a result, to the horror of the Japanese army, a division of the expeditionary army deployed behind Renqiang City soon joined the New Thirty Division.

After several tentative attacks, the Japanese already knew that the Independent Division had built strong fortifications.In addition, in the area where the New [-]th Division retreated, the road conditions were very poor, and the Japanese artillery and tanks could not be used.

Once it goes too deep, no one can guarantee that even if the troops of three divisions are assembled, two Japanese divisions will not be able to get too much money.In view of this situation, the Japanese front army immediately made a decision to order one of the divisions to continue to move forward.

The other division is stationed in Renqiang City, focusing on protecting the oil fields that they have reoccupied.Subsequent reinforcements and security forces, as well as workers in charge of oilfield exploitation, will be stationed in Renqiang one after another, and seize the time to exploit the oilfield.

Hu Biao, who was in Angkor Thom, received a telegram from Qin Tianyou, smiled and said: "It seems that the little devil also knows to accept it as soon as he is good! Send a telegram to General Wei, asking him to be vigilant against the Japanese army in Gucheng and block the troops." Beware of being surrounded by Japanese troops."

"Yes, wolf head!"

Compared with the previous three-way advance, this time the Japanese army assembled four divisions and joined the one division stationed in Tonggucheng earlier. The Japanese army with five divisions fought relatively conservatively, dividing troops into two groups and each group There are two divisions.

Breaking through Renqiang City where the New [-]th Division was stationed, the main force of the Japanese army continued to advance towards Mande City where the British colonial army was stationed.After receiving the telegram from the New Thirty Division, the general of the British colonial army also panicked: "How can they retreat?"

"If they don't retreat, do they have to fight until the last one? Speaking of which, they have won two days and two nights for us, and what about our troops? When I heard that the Fusang army was coming, I just wanted to go Retreat to the rear!"

"General, if we don't retreat, we may be surrounded by the Fusang army! Otherwise, we should retreat quickly!"

As Hu Biao expected, these British colonial troops had no fighting spirit.If it were other allied forces, they might put on a show and retreat when the Japanese army came to resist for a while.But right now, no one is willing to stay and fight.

Knowing this situation, Lieutenant General Dennis, who had always been dissatisfied with the expeditionary army, also said helplessly: "The morale of the army is scattered, and everyone from the generals to the soldiers has no intention of fighting. How can such a battle not fail?"

"General, what should we do? If we don't withdraw, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

After thinking for a while, Dennis finally said: "Let the generals stationed in India send us a telegram, because wars in the Indian colonies are frequent and we need to return to help the troops stationed in India. After we retreat, send a telegram to General Steve to explain one time.

In addition, we sent a telegram to the National Government, saying that we are willing to pay more money and weapons and equipment, and hope that the National Government can deploy more troops to cooperate in the battle.Once the Southwest is lost, it will be very unfavorable to them. "

"Understood! The general means to drag the expeditionary army in and let it consume the strength of the Fusang army?"

"That's right! Compared with the number of troops we have in the colonies, the national government has a larger army. Since our soldiers don't want to stay here, let them hold back more enemies for us and wait and see how the battle situation changes."

"Yes, General!"

This tactic of finding an excuse to be a deserter seems reasonable, but for Steve and Wei Junru, it is natural to see through the fear of war of the British colonial army at a glance.Before the Japanese army reached Mande City, the colonial army took the initiative to retreat.

Looking at the apologetic telegram sent by Dennis, Wei Junru couldn't help but sarcastically said: "General Steve, we were invited to help the battle. Now it seems that you are planning to push us to the front and block it for you. The Japanese army."

Faced with Wei Junru's sarcasm, Steve could only smile bitterly and said, "General Wei, you should know that this is not the situation I want to see. As the commander sent by the Allied Forces, I only have suggestions for the British colonial army." Power without command!"

The meaning of these words is also very straightforward, he just came to watch the show, and he couldn't mobilize the British colonial army at all.These British colonial troops were determined to withdraw to the Indian colony, how could Steve stop it?

"Hmph! I will report this matter! Such friendly forces are really chilling."

The result was even more chilling. When Wei Junru reported the situation to the Shancheng government, Lao Jiang, who had received a note from Yingjili in advance, knew that he could not offend the allies even though he was cursing in his heart.Who is the National Government? It has already boarded the boat of the Allied Forces!

After thinking for a while, he said: "Call Wei Junru back. We are both friendly troops and should understand the other party's difficulties. In view of the current situation, I still hope that the three armies on the expedition will use their lives to keep the enemy out of the country. If you have any difficulties, please contact us more. General Feihu discusses countermeasures!"

It has to be said that Lao Jiang is indeed a ruthless person, not only does not want to offend the allied forces, but also wants to drag the wolf army formed by Hu Biao into the water.According to the information Lao Jiang currently knows, he already knows that the wolf army is extremely powerful in the French colonies.
