Heroes of the War of Resistance

"The problem is, those who are willing to pay, where does the money come from? If the money for buying weapons is the people's fat, then I might as well give it to those who are sincere in fighting the devil for free. I really need money, but Some money I won't make!"

"Benevolence! Just for your kindness, I offer you a toast!"

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way!

Many people understand this truth, but not many people can really abide by it in troubled times.At least for Hu Biao, he will not feel guilty about the wealth he now owns.Because most of them are spoils of war.

Even if he sells medicines for profit, compared to other unscrupulous drug dealers, the price of medicines sold by Hu Biao is fair enough.Perhaps because of the fair price, even those who have cooperated with Hu Biao hope to increase the transaction volume.

After drinking for three rounds, Hu Biao took the initiative to ask again: "It is said that my brother is a wise man living in Zhuge. I wonder what my opinion is about the current situation and war situation? This is a rare opportunity to ask for advice, and I hope my brother will enlighten me!" "

Faced with Hu Biao suddenly bringing the topic to the current situation and the war situation, Bai Chongxi was a little surprised and said: "Since my brother Jinling has made a name for himself, I have found that I have no plans to spare. I am ashamed to teach you! If my brother is interested, How about we chat?"

"Also ask my brother to enlighten me!"

Following Bai Chongxi's analysis of the current situation and the battle situation, he clearly pointed out that as the Japanese army's offensive line lengthened, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to organize large corps operations like the Xuzhou Battle and the Wuhan Battle in the future.

From this point, Hu Biao can also see that Bai Chongxi really has a strategic vision and lives up to his name of 'Bai Zhuge'!

Following Bai Chongxi's words, Hu Biao also said directly: "With my brother's advice, it seems that I am more confident. As far as the current battle situation is concerned, it may be very difficult to defend Wuhan, but it can be regained." Soldiers who frustrate little devils.

If the Battle of Wuhan ends, the current battlefield situation where the Japanese army is mainly attacking and our army is mainly defending is likely to change.This also means that our combat policy will also change from strategic defense to strategic confrontation. Both the devil and us need time.

Just one thing, I think my brother may remind me that our eyes should not be limited to Wuhan.If you are paying attention to the national war situation, you should already know that the Japanese army is advancing towards Guangdong Province, right?

From what I have learned, the Japanese army has assembled heavy troops in places such as Baodao and Ryukyu.This time, they will not simply carry out bombing, and it is very likely that they will carry out landing operations.Can the defenders of Guangdong Province stop the Japanese attack? "

As soon as these words came out, Bai Chongxi frowned and said, "Brother, what you said is true? Didn't you tell the higher authorities?"

"I also just received the information! Besides, I think this information should be verified and reported by my brother, which should have more weight than me. Secondly, once Guangdong Province falls, where will the Japanese army lead the next step?" where?"

"As far as the Japanese army is currently investing in the Wuhan battlefield, do they still have the strength to encroach on Guangdong Province?"

Faced with Bai Chongxi's question, Hu Biao shook his head and said, "I believe that many people in the mountain city have the same thoughts as my brother. The problem is that you have too underestimated Fusang's war potential. Don't forget that they still have colonies.

Although the Japanese army has invested a lot of troops at the moment, how much troops will the Japanese army need to invest in capturing Guangdong Province?If my guess is correct, the troops stationed in Guangdong Province may also feel that the little devil is feigning an attack and intends to divert our attention.

Since the little devil invaded the three eastern provinces, we often lost the opportunity because we underestimated the boldness and insidiousness of the little devil.Compared with the victory or defeat of the Battle of Wuhan, the occupation of Guangdong Province is more important to the Japanese army, and it is more conducive to the Japanese army to fight a protracted war with us.

Shanghai fell, North China fell, and our external ports were almost without exception blocked by little devils.Guangdong Province is also the only channel we have left that can accept overseas materials.Once blocked, the consequences are fatal.

Don't expect those foreigners to support us, the little devils even dare to invade Shanghai, why is it so surprising that a mere Guangdong province is there?Brother, don't forget, apart from our Asian bombardment, Europe is now also in a mess.

The so-called military powers such as Britain and France, facing Germany, which has been preparing for many years, have no spare energy to pay attention to the Asian battlefield.A few verbal protests could not curb the ambitions of the Japanese army at all.Dominating Asia is the real ambition of the Japanese army! "

Accompanying Hu Biao's remarks, Bai Chongxi also knew very well that once Guangdong Province fell, it would also pose a fatal threat to Guangxi Province.Once Gui Province faces the Japanese army's front, it is really unknown whether the Gui army can withstand the Japanese invasion.

At present, the two big men of the Gui army can have great prestige in the government and the army, and it is more due to the strength of the Gui army and the stability of the old nest.If Gui Province falls, their foundation will be shaken, and their power will be suppressed.

Don't you see, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Jinsui Army was extremely strong in the north. After Taiyuan was captured by the Japanese army, the Jinsui Army now also counts on Lao Jiang for support.That Yan Laoxi's status in the army is no longer what it used to be.

Aware of this crisis, Bai Chongxi quickly said: "Brother, in your opinion, what should we do?"

"Brother, I can only give some suggestions to remind you about this kind of military affairs. How to do it, you still need to run around. But there is one thing, that is, we must remind the Cantonese Army to prepare for the war with all their strength, and if possible, we must deploy it Troop support.

In fact, even if my brother does not come to Xinyang this time, I will send you a telegram to remind you.The reason is simple, I have a lot of things that need to be shipped in from abroad.Once Guangdong Province falls, I will also be in great trouble.

Secondly, I have another unfeeling request, I want to ask my brother for a piece of land.Right now, the south and the north are under the vanguard of the Japanese army. Even if I want to do something, it is difficult to hide from the eyes of the little devil.Therefore, I need a safe place! "

If the previous reminder was a foreshadowing, then what Hu Biao said at this moment is the real reason for his meeting with Bai Chongxi tonight.Establishing a foothold in Suzhou Province and extending his power to the southwest is also a plan that Hu Biao had planned long ago.

In the southwestern provinces, Hu Biao felt that Gui Province was more suitable for his early development, and then slowly extended his tentacles to Yun Province.In the civil war, Hu Biao mainly focused on attacking the Japanese army's expanded troops.Only in the border areas in the future can Hu Biao really let go.

When the little devil officially started the battle to annex the Southwest countries, Hu Biao also had the opportunity to continue to confront the Japanese army and deal with the Japanese army in the Southwest countries.In this way, they continuously transfer their own troops and support new partners.

If other people had made such a request, Bai Chongxi would definitely not consider it.But when Hu Biao said this, Bai Chongxi also knew that Hu Biao's concern about the situation in Guangdong Province must have something to do with the forces behind him.

Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi also said seriously: "Brother, can you tell me the truth, which country do you represent?"

"Brother, you are thinking too much! I am a descendant of Yanhuang, and the skin and blood on my body will never change. You will doubt me, maybe because I can provide medicines from various countries. The problem is, that is all The power of capital.

As long as you have money and a certain network of contacts, many people can actually do it.I want to ask my brother for a piece of land, purely because I want to save myself a way out.As for why I did this, my brother will understand in the future! "

From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, many warlords were supported by foreigners.It's actually quite normal for Bai Chongxi to have such doubts.But for Hu Biao, it is impossible for him to work for the foreign devils.

Turning the focus of development to the southwest is indeed leaving a way out for ourselves.Not only him, but those who follow him now, as long as they don't give up, Hu Biao will give them a relatively peaceful home, which is what he should do as a commander!

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter [-] Ask for a piece of land

Compared with North China and Southeast China currently occupied by the Japanese army, the southwestern provinces are regarded by many people as slightly barbaric places.With the successive fall of North China and Southeast China, the national government's fiscal revenue has also shrunk significantly.

Some people say that "wars are actually about logistics", and this statement has gradually been confirmed.Losing the commercially-developed tax lands in the southeast, the Nationalist government had to rely more on external borrowing and assistance if it wanted to support this national defense war.

Even Guangxi Province, which borders Guangdong Province, has been ruled by Li and Bai for many years, but in terms of taxation and commercial development, it is naturally far behind Guangdong Province.In the early years when the warlords were fighting, Li and Bai did not think about annexing it.

It's a pity that Lao Jiang has always been vigilant in this matter.If it weren't for the brazen invasion of the little devils, perhaps the elite national army trained by Lao Jiang would have been at odds with the Gui army long ago.

Regarding this point, Bai Chongxi, who was sitting in an open space drinking and chatting with Hu Biao, naturally knew it well.To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for resisting the invasion of the Japanese army, I am afraid that Lao Jiang would not be willing to cooperate with other warlords and forces.

In addition, the Japanese army captured the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Zhejiang Province, and Suzhou Province, which Chiang Kai-shek regarded as his foundation, and severely damaged the elite created by Chiang Kai-shek.I'm afraid that Li and Bai, the two leaders of the Guangxi family, will not be able to have the power and status they have now.

Wanting to draw the Gui army to deal with the little devil, Lao Jiang didn't show a little sincerity, so naturally he couldn't impress generals like Li and Bai.Hu Biao could see these truths clearly, how could Bai Chongxi who was sitting in front of him not see clearly?

Although Hu Biao's speculation has not yet become a reality, for Bai Chongxi, he is very aware of the serious consequences of the fall of Guangdong Province.This not only means that the only remaining sea channel of the national government has been cut off, but also means that Guangxi Province will become the target of the Japanese army.

Once the foundation of Guangxi Province is lost, the generals, officers and soldiers who participated in the war of resistance will all become rootless duckweed.I am afraid that the future fate of the Gui army will not be better than that of the shrunken Jinsui army.

After hearing about the site Hu Biao wanted, Bai Chongxi asked curiously, "Why is it Xilong?"

"The reason is simple. It is located on the border of three provinces, which is more conducive to development. If the Japanese army starts to attack the southwest in the future, I can send troops to fight at any time to stop them from Shillong.

Secondly, if my judgment is true, the Japanese army will inevitably attack your Qinzhou port in the next step and block the land passage from Friendship Pass to Guangxi Province.And what I want to do is to make arrangements for this in advance, hoping to open up new transportation channels. "

Compared with the famous Yunnan-Myanmar Highway in later generations, Hu Biao, who served in the Southwest Special Forces in his previous life, knew that before the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway was fully utilized, there was actually another famous international traffic line, which was the Guiyue Highway passing through Gui Province. .

It is a pity that the Japanese army cut off this road many times in the later period, and this supply line, which was highly valued by the National Government, had to be completely abandoned in the end.Instead, replace the strategic supply line with the Burma Highway that enters Yun Province from Burma State.

Although Hu Biao didn't need to greet Bai Chongxi, he first sent some people to develop in Shillong.But Hu Biao knew better that Li and Bai, who had controlled Gui Province for many years, had control over Gui Province beyond the imagination of many people.

Even though the little devil Bingfeng pointed directly at Guilin, the capital of Gui Province, he still failed to win Gui Province.The reason has a lot to do with Li and Bai's coping and control abilities.Secondly, Gui Jun's ruthlessness in dealing with the Japanese invasion is also admirable.

Coupled with the unique geographical environment of Guangxi Province, it is difficult for the mechanized and artillery units that the Japanese army regards as their advantages to exert their due effects.In many cases, even the leading party cannot be found, and it is not easy to win Gui Province.

In the same way, without the consent of Li and Bai, it would be very difficult for Hu Biao to develop even if he nailed a nail in Guangxi Province.On the contrary, if Li and Bai can see the benefits, they will strongly support the strengthening of cooperation.

Bai Chongxi didn't think it was too important for Hu Biao to ask for a piece of territory, which was also the territory bordering the three provinces.But he is still worried in his heart, that is to give Hu Biao territory, what if Hu Biao can't be driven away in the future?

Perhaps seeing Bai Chongxi's concerns, Hu Biao also said directly: "My brother should have heard me say that I was able to make friends with many foreigners in the concession because I had the capital they wanted. To put it bluntly, I have the money they want to make.
