For the Japanese army raiding in southern Guizhou, perhaps they never dreamed that this war would eventually end with their voluntary retreat. What even made the Japanese army even more incredible was that the price they paid for this battle was too heavy.

The combat intention to cut off the supply line in southern Guizhou has been completed, but the war on the front line has not yet ended. The Japanese army had no choice but to discover that the materials purchased by the National Government from overseas were still transported to Yunnan Province by moving ants.

After such trouble, the Japanese army still seemed to have not obtained much advantage, but instead ruined many elite troops in the southwest battlefield. What made the Japanese army most distressed was undoubtedly the aircraft carrier fleet that was sunk on the outer sea.

The army offensive troops, which seemed to have the advantage of the battlefield, had no choice but to retreat voluntarily. Nanning City, which was heavily deployed by the Gui army, was still tightly controlled by the Gui army, and subsequent reinforcements were about to arrive.

In order to preserve the only fruit of victory, the main Japanese army troops retreated from the front line began to capture the area bordering Indochina in southern Guizhou. Longzhou City, which caused heavy losses to the Japanese Air Force, was finally captured by the Japanese army.

What made the Japanese army feel helpless was that the originally bustling and lively Longzhou City, which had become a ruin after experiencing this war. In order to occupy this city, the Japanese army paid a heavy price of more than half a brigade.

What made the Japanese army even more angry was the garrison troops responsible for guarding Longzhou City, and they still retreated safely from the Japanese army's eyes. When the Japanese army tried to pursue, the troops that entered the mountains and pursued them eventually suffered heavy losses.

The main Japanese forces that took over the areas bordering Indochina and safely withdrew from the Japanese army also began to strengthen control over these occupied areas. Just as they were preparing to launch a large-scale sweep to clear out the anti-Japanese armed forces that had raided the supply line earlier, they found that there was no one at all.

There are fewer sweeping troops sent, and sometimes these sweeping troops will even go without returning. There are more sweeping troops sent, and more often they are circled around the mountains, and they can't even see the shadow of the anti-Japanese armed forces, and they can't find a partner to fight if they want to clear them.

This strange situation even made many Japanese commanders extremely suspicious: "Baga! The combat styles of these hidden rebellious armed forces are extremely similar to those of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest. They are very likely to be armed by the Eighth Route Army!"

The reason for making this judgment is that the Japanese devils organized a large-scale raid on Qiongdao in the previous period, and the Japanese cleared out many anti-Japanese armed forces. According to the investigation of the officers and soldiers of the sweeping army, 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 on Qiongdao, wouldn't it be normal for the existence of the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese armed forces in Guinan? When it comes to guerrilla warfare, the Eighth Route Army is the real master and expert!

When Bai Chongxi learned that the Japanese army had finally withdrawn and gave up the combat plan to continue attacking Nanning, Bai Chongxi, who successfully defended Nanning, also seemed relieved. Faced with his subordinates' proposal to launch a counterattack, he finally chose to refuse.

The reason is very simple. Bai Chongxi feels that the main force of the Japanese army still exists. If they turn to defense to offense, they will lose their current combat advantages. In addition to the efforts of the three armies to defend, the defensive fortifications deployed earlier have also played a huge role.

If a counterattack 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 the answer from Hu Biao, he knew that the anti-Japanese armed forces that raided the Japanese supply line were not the Eighth Route Army suspected by the Japanese army, but the combat troops under Hu Biao.

Although he felt that Hu Biao's development speed was a bit amazing, Bai Chongxi knew in his heart that he should be grateful to Hu Biao the most for being able to defend Nanning this time. With the anti-Japanese armed forces formed by Hu Biao in the occupied areas, he felt that the Japanese could not think of safety.

What surprised Bai Chong the most were the gentry living in the occupied areas. Shortly after the Battle of Southern Guizhou started, most of them took their families to retreat to the rear controlled by the Gui army. These people also had a great effect on the Gui army in controlling Guizhou Province.

I thought these people were likely to surrender to the Japanese or even work hard for the Japanese. Unexpectedly, most of the gentry chose to move. They would rather give up their family business in the occupied areas than stay in the occupied areas and be bullied by the Japanese.

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

The Battle of Southern Guizhou has come to an end for the time being. Hu Biao instructed to withdraw the combat troops from the Japanese-controlled area, use the existing controlled area as the frontline position, and began to increase the deployment efforts, prohibit the Japanese forces from being infiltrated into the Baise area.

As long as the Japanese do not attack in large numbers, the Wolf Army is still developing dormantly. As long as the Japanese do not attack from land to Shilong, they will not cause too much trouble to the Japanese. Of course, it is still very necessary to practice combat.

At present, the Japanese still deployed a lot of garrison troops in the occupied areas, and the existence of these garrison troops has also become the best practical training targets for Hu Biao's newly formed troops. Over time, the number of veterans under his command with practical experience will also increase rapidly.

In addition, what makes the Japanese even more troubled is the speed of the people in the occupied areas that are lost, which is beyond their expectations. Some villages are even empty. In Hu Biao's view, the population is also a war resource.

Hu Biao would also seek the opinions of the people in these occupied areas. If he was willing to live in the areas controlled by the Gui army, they would escort them to the areas defended by the Gui army and let the Gui army resettle these fleeing people.

If you are willing to live in a territory controlled by Baise or the Wolf Army, Hu Biao will also let the local troops properly resettle these people. The large-scale population loss of the occupied areas will also make these counties controlled by the Japanese army like a piece of chicken ribs, which is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to throw it away!

Hu Biao was still very relieved about the matter in Guinan. The Fuzhou City that had just begun to be built, Hu Biao also asked Xu Sandao to be fully responsible and began to resettle the people who escaped from the occupied areas.

In short, the war in southern Guizhou was temporarily extinguished, and Hu Biao was happy to see this situation. As for the private secret battle, Hu Biao was not afraid of the Japanese army at all. At present, the strength of the Wolf Army in the southwest is qualified to compete with the troops deployed by the Japanese in the southwest.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Hu Biao planned to have a good talk with the uninvited Dai Li. He hoped to dispel the concerns of the person in Shancheng through Dai Li. At least Hu Biao did not want to see someone stabbing him in the back.

After a sincere apology was considered to save some face for Dai Li, the two began to raise their glasses and drink. For Dai Li, even though he had a lot of dealing with Hu Biao, this was also the first time he had a face-to-face conversation with Hu Biao.

What surprised and sighed by Dai Li was Hu Biao's youth and strength. Combining these two was indeed enough to make Hu Biao do something that changed the current situation. He even felt that perhaps the person in Shancheng was indeed necessary.

After three rounds of drinking, Hu Biao also said directly: "Brother Yunong, can you take the liberty to ask what is the priority for going to Dagon this time?"

"Brother Hu, you are also a soldier. You should know such a secret matter, and it is not convenient for you to tell me about it!"

Hearing what Dai Li said, Hu Biao no longer forced: "Okay! Since it involves a confidential matter, I'm sorry that I've taken the blame before. Although you and I have the first time meeting, they are very close. I'll ask, how does that person view me?"

Such a straightforward questioning really surprised Dai Li. He thought for a while and said, "What? Brother, I suspect that my trip was for you? Everyone knows your contribution to Country D, and the principal also values ​​you very much!"

"Is that true? Brother Yunong, you and I have not been dealing with each other once or twice. I like to go straight and straight when talking. If Brother Yunong feels that it is inconvenient to talk to me about the truth, then today I will treat you as a drink and don't talk about state affairs!"

Hu Biao really wants to make friends with Dai Li, who is very powerful and regarded as his confidant in Shancheng. But the attitude he showed now still disappointed Hu Biao. Since he can't be friends, there is no need to continue talking.

Hu Biao even decided that if Dai Li did not show any sincerity today, Hu Biao's future cooperation with the Military Control Commission will gradually decrease or even end. If the Military Control Commission dares to cause trouble for him, Hu Biao would not mind applying some warnings.

From Hu Biao's tone, Dai Li also felt a little dissatisfied and angry. In desperation, he could only smile bitterly: "Brother, there is a question. Actually, I always want to ask. I want to know, why don't I accept the principal's kindness?"

"Brother Yunnong, what are you referring to? Obey him and obey his command and dispatch? I'm sorry, I used to do this, but eventually became an abandoned son. Not only me, but even my brothers who depend on each other for life and death were all abandoned.

Of course, I know you will say that he has difficulties and should also think about the overall situation. So can I think that at some point in the future, he can directly push me out for the so-called overall situation? What will happen to me then?

In other words, I did not refuse the appointment he gave me? To the outside world, I am still a major general appointed by the National Government. What he was dissatisfied with was that I did not go to see him, and did not express my so-called loyalty to him like others, right?

But my brother should know that from the Battle of Jinling to the current Battle of Guinan, my brothers and I have eliminated many Japanese devils? I have given up most of these contributions. To put it bluntly, I can also make him face, right?

When I joined the army, I was already alone. For me, those brothers and subordinates were my family. I was worried that I could hand them over to one of them, and I might be pushed up to block the gun or in the hands of those who were abandoned at any time!”

Although these words are full of moisture, they also represent some of Hu Biao's real thoughts. After experiencing this war of resistance, Hu Biao has seen countless soldiers fighting bloody battles. But as a member of the anti-Japanese war forces, why should we divide the direct line and the miscellaneous army?

The direct troops can get strong support from the Shancheng. Why do those so-called miscellaneous troops, or the anti-Japanese war troops that were not favored by him, sometimes cannot even meet the basic logistics support?
