Chapter 19 Where did it come from?

As Haifang City fell into ruins amid the continuous explosions, the Japanese army that had just taken over Haifang City fell into a bruised and swollen face in this port city. A large number of landing troops were killed and many of the materials raised were also destroyed.

Such a result also means that the Japanese army had to be forced to interrupt the offensive plan for a period of time. Even if the Japanese army clamored to take revenge, the Japanese army had no good solution to the colonial army that had retreated into the jungle area.

What made the Japanese army even more troubled was the colonial army that controlled Indochina, which had strengthened the control of migrant workers in the territory. Even if there were deep-hidden intelligence personnel lurking, it was difficult to send out the information behind the colony.

Most of the re-senteemed intelligence personnel went without returning. This situation undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of the Japanese army in capturing Indochina. What caused the most headache for the Japanese army was to send reconnaissance planes, which were often ambushed.

In fact, in order to avoid the Japanese army from going deep into the hinterland to carry out air reconnaissance, Hu Biao not only deployed a large number of air defense weapons, but also began to order two air force brigades deployed in place to start air patrols and ambush Japanese reconnaissance planes.

In order to effectively ensure the safety of rear settlements, mines and factories, Hu Biao purchased the most advanced radar technology from abroad through Brooke and Umbrella Company channels and deployed it on some Indochina mountains.

The combination of human-machine and early warning air defense methods ensure the safety of important areas in the rear. Once a small batch of enemy aircraft are found to invade, the air force brigade closest to the enemy aircraft will take off the airplane and shoot down the enemy aircraft in a two-machine marshalling method.

Moreover, in order to ensure the safety of his own fighter jets and pilots, Hu Biao mostly attacked in a two-plane marshalling operation. In the crew, there must be a pilot with practical experience, accompanied by a rookie pilot, and the old and new cooperated with the air combat.

If the Japanese sent large aircraft groups to fight, Hu Biao would warn in advance, allowing settlements and factories and mines to enter air defense facilities. In that case, even if some houses were blown up by the Japanese army, major casualties could be effectively avoided.

In short, after several retaliatory bombings, the Japanese army found that the bombing effect seemed not ideal. On the other hand, through the joint human-machine defense and early warning, the Wolf Army also repeatedly shot down the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft to further train the beating air force combat troops.

Although the rapid rise of the wolf army in the Indochina region aroused the vigilance of the colonial government, everyone knows that these Chinese who began to settle in Indochina were the backbone of Indochina.

If the colonial army attacked the Wolf Army at this time, it would only benefit the Japanese army. Moreover, the senior officials stationed in the colony knew that the current situation could no longer allow them to make enemies, but should take a closer look to win over the combat troops under the Wolf Army.

From beginning to end, the Wolf Army did not make any excessive demands with the colonial government. Even though Zhenning Prefecture is currently fully autonomous, it will still pay a certain amount of tax every month. This practice has quite satisfied the officials of Falanxi.

In addition, the senior officials of the two countries who had the Nuvik and Brooke family were dealing with each other and enjoying colonial interests actually benefited a lot from it. Especially the merchants of the two countries who were doing business in the colonies, they were very supportive of the trade of the Wolf Army.

Although the German army has not yet reached the English border, many British officials in the colonies know that if the war continues, the domestic attention will be shifted to dealing with the German invasion. In the Far East, there is no time to take care of it.

It is rare that these elite troops recruited by Nuvik can have a group of free defensive forces as long as they give some benefits. From the overall perspective, these colonial officials feel that giving certain support will have more benefits than bad things.

With the local forces in the colonial areas, they often engage in uprisings and rebellion, and the Wolf Army attaches more importance to construction. In the eyes of many senior colonial officials, they are happy to see a colony with prosperous business and growing taxes.

But they didn't know that this was just Hu Biao's delay. Give these colonial governments some sweetness first. When the right time comes, Hu Biao has some ways to force them to make concessions. Now he is dormant, just for rapid development!

The Japanese army, who fell into Haifang City twice, was still very unwilling to give up in the end. Soon, the elite troops of two divisions were transferred from the rear and began to rely on Haifang City as the frontier position to prepare to attack the Indochina colony.

After the war started, the forces of all parties were stunned again. The reason was that under the assault of two Japanese divisions, the colonial army in Indochina seemed to be in a state of retreating step by step, which made the Japanese army extremely happy.

Just when Louis seemed extremely nervous, Nuvich, who had moved to Dagon, was soon invited by him. In addition to Louis, Dagon's English Governor was also there. They were also worried that Indochina would be occupied by the Japanese army.

After listening to the opinions of the two governors, Nuvic pretended to be a headache and said, "Two governors, I understand your concerns very well. For me, I don't want to see such a situation. But at present, my strength is extremely limited.

You should know that the Fusang people dispatched two elite divisions this time, with a total force of nearly 60,000. In addition, they also have the Air Force to assist in the war, so it is difficult for the few people I hired to withstand their attack. Moreover, I can't afford the casualties!"

Through the method of resistance, the Japanese army was constantly luring into the depths and lengthening the Japanese supply line, which was itself a combat plan formulated by Hu Biao. But for the colonial governments of the two countries, they felt that the Japanese army would soon reach the city.

Nuvik, who knew this, also complained. But in the eyes of the two governors, it was indeed unreasonable to ask Nuvik to help them resist the Japanese invasion unconditionally. No matter what, Nuvik is also a war broker.

Nuvik also needs to pay the corresponding military expenses for those troops hiring and training. A large number of soldiers suffered losses, and Nuvik is still paying the corresponding pension. It is naturally impossible to expect Nuvik to lose money and do things.

Even to the end of the discussion, the Governor of England in Dagon also said directly: "Mr. Vick, if we provide funds and weapons, will you be able to recruit more troops? I mean, informal army!"

"Mr. Governor, you should know that the population on the other side is dozens of times that of ours. As long as there are enough funds and weapons, I can recruit enough soldiers with practical experience. You know, there are many soldiers over there who are very poor!"

"Ok! I will discuss the matter of hiring fees and weapons and equipment with Governor Louis and give you a satisfactory reply as soon as possible. And I also hope that you can start the corresponding recruitment plan as soon as possible and not allow the Fusang army to continue to go deeper!"

"No problem! As long as I have enough money and weapons and ammunition, I know several powerful generals there, and I should be able to recruit at least about 10,000 elite troops in a short period of time. And I guarantee that I will not have anything to do with it!"

With Nuvik's reply, both governors felt very satisfied. Even if they needed to pay the corresponding funds and weapons, for the colonial governments of the two countries, they were not short of money at the moment, but what they lacked was soldiers who could fight desperately with the Japanese army.

At this stage, these colonial governments seem to be worried about attracting regular troops under the National Government, and would rather pay Nuvik commission than give the National Government the opportunity to send troops into the colony.

But Hu Biao knew very well that by next year, the Japanese army would enter a very crazy stage of war. Both Menia and England would become the target of their attacks. Only then would these colonial countries think of seeking support.

However, in this life, even if the expeditionary forces cannot be stopped from going out to fight, Hu Biao will try his best to protect the safety of these troops entering the colony. When the war is over, perhaps many of them will choose to stay.

As expected by the colonial government, after paying the first commission, a force in people's clothing appeared in the area bordering Indochina and Yunnan and Guangxi provinces. Although it was only the size of a regiment, the colonial government was still very happy.

The two governors who were authorized by the government even said satisfied: "Although White Bear Vicci is a little greedy, he is extremely energy-efficient. Let him arm these troops as soon as possible and cannot allow the Fusang army to continue moving forward."

"Okay, I'll send a report to Vicci later!"

At this time, Vicci had quietly arrived at Zhenning Mansion. Seeing the telegram sent by Louis, Nuvici also admired: "Wolf Head, you guessed it again. They paid the second commission and weapons. I hope I will recruit the second batch of troops!"

"Give money to do things! Let's keep our word! Generate power to Funing and let the 3rd Division and the Second Regiment start entering the country!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

This unit equipped with British weapons is the Third Division of the Wolf Army that Hu Biao expanded this year. The commander of the Third Division was not Hu Biao's direct subordinate, but Xu Mingzhi, who served as the chief of staff of the first division. This appointment was indeed beyond many people's expectations.

But for Xu Mingzhi and other officers who joined the subsequent officers, they finally saw hope. As the new commander of the Third Division, Xu Mingzhi also knew very well that this was Hu Biao’s trust in him, but it was more of a test.

Through the agreement reached by Nuvich and the colonial government, Hu Biao was able to openly form a division's combat force. The two divisions that had entered the colony earlier could continue to hide in a low-key manner so that they could catch the enemy off guard at any time.

The Japanese army, which has been strengthening intelligence collection recently, quickly received information about a large number of elite armed personnel entering Indochina. What surprised the Japanese army was that these elite armed personnel were not from regular troops of the National Government.

Upon hearing the news, the Japanese army also said in confusion: "Baga! Where did so many armed personnel emerge?"

"According to the reports of our intelligence personnel in Dagon, these armed personnel seem to have been hired. A large number of them are rich in practical experience. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have retired from the regular Chinese army."

"Baga! At this time, will the Chinese Army be retiring at will? Does this matter have anything to do with the Shancheng?"

“No relevant information has been received!”
