Chapter 63 Beyond imagination!
As the pursuit task force returned, Hu Biao, who was in Longzhou City, knew that the infantry corps sent by the Japanese army were basically disabled. This also means that as long as the Japanese army was not stupid, they would not dare to invade Longzhou City again without understanding the situation.
While it was dark, Hu Biao and his accompanying guard platoon entered the city again, found Xu Sandao to discuss and analyze, and then decided to lead the task force to leave and go to the Baise area where his defense center is focused, in order to deal with the Japanese army's attack at any time.
Looking at the quiet Longzhou City, Hu Biao also said directly: "Three swords, there is no need to defend Longzhou City, just restrain the Japanese. Once the Japanese army attacks again, you will lead your troops to the mountains to rest.
Even if the Japanese finally occupy Longcheng, it is probably not that easy for them to control the surrounding towns. And what we have to do is control these township areas. As long as the Japanese dare to come out, they will find a way to deal with them.
Longzhou also became prosperous by relying on materials transported from Haifang Port. If the material line was cut off, the place would slowly be abandoned. The Japanese would probably not occupy such a remote area for too long.
What we have to do is to take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese invading southern Guizhou and gradually transfer our troops to the border area. Use the Japanese to continuously expand our influence to gain more support from the people, do you understand?"
"I understand! Just like we are on Mount Anhua, we regard the area occupied by the Japanese as a guerrilla area!"
"That's right! The places that were captured by the Japanese are part of the occupied area. Even if the Guangxi clan has been operating here for many years, after Longzhou fell, it will lose its value. I believe the Guangxi clan will not pay much attention to it.
In contrast, the Nanning region where the Guangxi clique is now the area that the Guangxi clique and the National Government are most concerned about. If I expected it well, there should be a big war there. The final result will also determine whether the Japanese army can gain a foothold in southern Guizhou."
Telling Xu Sandao about the overall battlefield situation will also help Xu Sandao understand more about the battlefield situation. For Hu Biao, with the Japanese army launching the Battle of Southern Guangxi, relying on the base area of Shillong, Hu Biao can develop rapidly again.
In the Baise area, which took the initiative to take over the defense, Hu Biao will also take advantage of the opportunity to block the Japanese army and deploy more of his own forces in the area. As for places close to the border in Longzhou, Hu Biao will also arrange for Xu Sandao to be controlled one after another.
Perhaps on the surface, those county towns will be controlled by the Japanese. But in addition to the county towns, Hu Biao will also increase control efforts to let the Japanese who occupy these county towns know that their occupation of these cities has no practical significance.
Before leaving, Hu Biao also said with concern: "Three swords, we have caused the Japanese to fall into trouble twice in succession. During the day, I think the Japanese will definitely take revenge wildly, you must be more careful.
In the coastal areas, I have ordered the old company commander to be vigilant and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese naval aviation. Once a large number of Japanese fighter jets are found to come, you must conceal the air defense in time, not act impulsively, and fight with the Japanese.
As for the Japanese in the direction of Zongzuo City, as long as they go out, I will let you notify you in time. At that time, you can just fight the Japanese casually and then find an opportunity to retreat. It is also okay to leave an empty city for the Japanese!”
"Remember!"
As Hu Biao's old subordinate, Xu Sandao also knew that Qin Tianyou had already served as the first division commander of the Wolf Army. The position given by Hu Biao to Xu Sandao was also the position of commander of the future task force. It seems that the position is lower than that of Qin Tianyou, but it is of extraordinary significance.
Before the Battle of Southern Guizhou ended, Xu Sandao will also be responsible for the defensive operations on the Longzhou side. It will block the Japanese army's detour infiltration into Shilong. Baise's side should be the main battlefield and Hu Biao will be in charge of command.
After the early expansion and construction, Shilong City seems to be no different from other small towns where trade is flourishing. But if you really have to observe carefully, you will find that there have been huge changes in the dense forest valleys around the small town.
Most of the important factories are built in the hillside, and there are a large number of troops stationed on the periphery for a long time. On some high mountains in Shillong, Hu Biao also built air defense fortresses similar to those in Longzhou City.
On these air defense fortresses, Hu Biao deployed a large number of air defense weapons. A large number of air defense weapons were purchased from military-industrial enterprises in Menia. It can be said that Hu Biao is now very popular among military-industrial enterprises in Menia.
As a neutral country, Menia naturally envies the arms business of various countries. Unfortunately, the National Government is in urgent need of arms, but does not want to pay cash. Only Hu Biao will pay a certain amount of money in advance as long as the order is placed.
When the freight is shipped to Shillong, the final payment will be quickly transferred to the accounts of these military-industrial enterprises. Such a wealthy and trustworthy trading partner will naturally be loved by these military-industrial enterprises, and I hope Hu Biao can order more weapons and equipment.
Even many military-industrial enterprises are willing to provide Hu Biao with the latest developed weapons and equipment. In their opinion, if these latest developed weapons and equipment are sold to Hu Biao, Hu Biao can also test the performance of the equipment for them.
After meeting with Xu Sandao, Hu Biao left overnight with the task force. On Longzhou City, Xu Sandao also had a task force under him. It was used for defense and alertness, which should be sufficient in Hu Biao's opinion.
What's more, in order to ensure the safe retreat of Xu Sandao, Hu Biao also deployed a large number of guerrillas near Longzhou City. These guerrillas in the form of bandits can also serve as Xu Sandao's peripheral guard forces.
When the Japanese army re-formed the combat plan to attack Longzhou City, Hu Biao had already led his men to the new battlefield. At this moment, Bai Chongxi, the command center in Nanning, had just received a report on the battle situation from Hu Biao about Longzhou City.
When Bai Chongxi learned that Hu Biao had another infantry corps of the Japanese army, he said with emotion: "I really can't figure out how General Feihu fought this battle? Why did the Japanese fight be like a coward when they met him?"
"General, General Ruofeihu's news is indeed, can they be allowed to counterattack Zongzuo City? There is only one infantry brigade of the Japanese attacking Zongzuo, so now there should be less than one infantry regiment left in Zongzuo City, right?"
Facing his subordinates' suggestions, Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Your idea is good! But you must be clear that I have no right to command the troops under General Feihu. To be precise, unless General Feihu is willing, no one can command him to fight.
In addition, based on my understanding of him, he and his combat troops are very good at sneak attacks and hidden marches. If you want him to send troops to attack Zongzuo City, you basically don’t have to consider it. It is already rare to be able to restrain some of the troops!"
Listening to what Bai Chongxi said, a general soon frowned and said, "Does the Flying Fox do this? Is there any objection to the superior?"
"So what if you have any objection? They didn't get a share of the government's salary, and they all received their weapons and equipment from the battlefield. Even if the combat troops under his command were largely prisoners of war rescued from the Japanese.
You were not curious before, why there is no shortage of medicines in our army, and there is even a way to sell some medicines. The reason is very simple. Our medicines are purchased from General Feihu. This person has a wild path and is not easy to offend!"
Bai Chongxi naturally knew the ideas of his subordinates. But he knew very well that Hu Biao borrowed him from the border of Shillong, a three provinces, and more for the purpose of expanding outward. Most importantly, this person was still more abiding by the rules.
Just as Bai Chongxi discussed with his subordinates that there was no need to worry too much about the battle situation in Longzhou. An intelligence officer hurried into the command center and said, "General, the encrypted intelligence sent from Longzhou!"
As a private place for the Guangxi clan, Bai Chongxi naturally has a strong control over the situation in Guizhou Province. Even the Military Commission and the Japanese Special High School Class, it is difficult to find out the intelligence personnel arranged by the Guangxi clan in various places.
After receiving the secret report from the intelligence officer, Bai Chongxi said with a tight expression: "Have the news been verified?"
"Verified! And we judged that their nest should be right there in Shillon!"
"Incredible! Unbelievable! His strength has improved so quickly in such a short time. It seems that this time, the Japanese are going crazy. It seems that I still underestimated his potential. This guy is so ambitious that he is beyond imagination!"
The generals sitting in the conference room seemed a little curious when listening to Bai Chongxi and the intelligence officer. But Bai Chongxi thought for a while and said, "Return the call to the secret stake and let them continue to implement surveillance and report the battle situation in Longzhou at any time!"
"Yes, General!"
"This telegram will be sealed! No one is allowed to check it except Chief Li!"
When the commanders who participated in the military meeting heard what Bai Chongxi said, they were undoubtedly even more curious. But in Bai Chongxi's opinion, once too many people know Hu Biao's true strength, they would probably cause a lot of trouble.
Secondly, Bai Chongxi couldn't guarantee whether anyone would disclose secrets to the outside world by the generals present. Once the Japanese discovered it, Hu Biao hid a large number of fighter jets in Shillong and would definitely destroy them at any cost.
On the other hand, if the Guizhou clan can get the full help of Hu Biao, it will also play a very important role in the Guizhou army resisting the Japanese offensive. With hundreds of fighter jets, even the Japanese need to be extra careful.
Compared with the current Japanese fighter jets, most of them flew over from the sea or Qiongdao. Hu Biao's fighter jet troops lurked in Shillong. They naturally took less time to fly from the airport to the battlefield than Japanese.
If the front-line war is really too fierce, Bai Chongxi will give some favors and ask Hu Biao for air support. He believes that Hu Biao will not refuse. After some thought, Bai Chongxi decided to block the news and will not disclose it to the public for the time being.
Even if the Military Control Commission learns this information in the future, Bai Chongxi can still pretend to be unaware of it. At least from the current stage, Bai Chongxi feels that the Guangxi clan needs Hu Biao as an ally. In that case, at least there is no need to worry about the lack of protection in the nest.
