The Japanese army, who had decided to give up the southwestern colony, also began to focus their combat efforts on the domestic and Pacific battlefields. The prisoners of war that had previously promised to redeem were more likely to ease hostile relations with Hu Biao in this way.

At least in the eyes of the Japanese army, Hu Biao agreed to send a group of prisoners of war to the Indian colony in private. I think there is room for private cooperation between them. But no one expected that Hu Biao would suddenly launch a counterattack and target Qiongdao, which the Japanese army would not want to give up.

For the Japanese army that occupied Qiong Island, in addition to the iron ore resources that the Japanese army urgently needed, Qiong Island is also a bridgehead position for its march to the southwest coast. As long as you defend Qiong Island, it will be easier if you invade the southwest in the future.

Unexpectedly, the Wolf Army, which had just completed the transfer of people and money and was focusing on post-war reconstruction, would send troops to Qiongdao again. Of course, the first attack was the Eighth Route Army, which the Japanese army had always wanted to encircle but could not be encircled.

As the Eighth Route Army's most powerful combat force in the southwest, the Qiongdao Column, which had four main divisions, was also fully equipped. The four main divisions divided into four routes and began to attack the Japanese defense zone.

Just when the Japanese army felt that the Qiongdao Column was crazy, the harsh air defense alarm made the Japanese army stationed in the coastal port completely panic. The only remaining fighter jet squadron was bombed at the airport before taking off.

Following the air strike were several warships of the Seahawks. After several rounds of artillery attacks, the Japanese defensive positions in the port were completely destroyed. Following closely behind were recruited troop transport ships.

"Baga! This is not the Eighth Route Army's troops, this is the Southwest Independence Army's troops! Hurry up and report to the cabinet immediately. We are attacked by the Southwest Independence Army and we need reinforcements. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to defend Qiongdao!"

"Hi!"

After invading Qiongdao, the Japanese army also spent some effort to build or expand some ports. Although there were warships deployed, they could face joint sea and air strikes, and these Japanese warships were sunk before they even left the port.

Under the cover of the Seahawk Fleet and the Eagle Strike Air Force, an elite division drawn by Lei Xiong quickly completed landing from the port and quickly advanced to the port city occupied by the Japanese army. Such a battle shocked the local people.

Many people who fled in panic began to exclaim: "Oh my God! Has the National Army been fighting back?"

"It shouldn't be! The Kuomintang army is 108,000 miles away from us, how could it be possible to fight?"

"That's the Eighth Route Army?"

"The Eighth Route Army is very poor. How could it be that there are so many aircraft and cannons?"

"What kind of force is that?"

"If you guess correctly, it should be the Independence Army of the Southwest Colony! I heard that the Independence Army is also a unit that our people have brought up, and it is very powerful. The troops sent there by the Japanese earlier were all destroyed by the Independence Army!"

"Our people? Are they talking nonsense?"

Things about the Southwest Independence Army also slowly spread along with private commercial exchanges. When the attacking troops successfully captured the cities occupied by the Japanese army and began to post notices, many people found it unintentional.

"Eighth Route Army? How could these troops be the Eighth Route Army? They wear different military uniforms!"

With such questions, the officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining public order also explained with a smile: "My fellow villager, you read that right, we are indeed not the Eighth Route Army. But we are friendly forces of the Eighth Route Army, and we are here to fight the Japanese to liberate you.

When the Japanese are killed away, we will leave. In the future, the Eighth Route Army will protect you. From now on, you can farm and fish with confidence, and you will no longer be afraid of being bullied by the Japanese. In the future, you can turn over and become the masters of Qiongdao!"

For the officers and soldiers of the main division of the Wolf Army who were fighting in cooperation, they felt more intimate after coming to Qiongdao than fighting in the colonies. The feeling and pride of regaining lost land was much stronger than before.

But when we came, the superiors had already issued an order that we could not take the credit for the recovery on ourselves, but pushed it to the head of the Eighth Route Army. When the war ended, all the troops would have to return. Of course, the rewards they should have will not be missing!

Ma Jiasheng, who came here in advance to prepare for the meeting, heard the rewards from his political workers and said with relief: "Don't you feel at ease now? People didn't take credit for their contributions at all. If they can't say anything that affects unity!"

"yes!"

When meeting Lei Xiong again, Ma Jiasheng also said enthusiastically: "General Lei, long time no see! Your troops are really quick to act. In just half a day, they recovered the port. It's amazing!"

"Old Ma, it's not the first time we've been dealing with each other. What are you doing so politely. We will be responsible for the battle, and we will leave it to you to take charge of the aftermath and control. Before the battle is over, my troops will still need to be stationed here, no problem?"

"Of course there is no problem! When we came, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Feng had an explanation, asking me to cooperate with your work. If you need me to cooperate, you can just say what you can't do. Let's discuss what we can't do. How about it?"

"Okay! According to our prior agreement, the capture of this battle will all belong to our army. However, when we came, Mr. Hu had an explanation and knew that it was difficult for you to investigate the traitors and the public trial of the traitors, and you will be responsible.

But during the trial, I hope we can discuss it. You also know that some people will not die of sin. If you are worried, after searching these people’s ill-gotten wealth, you can hand them over to us for treatment. How about it?”

"OK!"

"Secondly, we will pick some of the seized weapons and ammunition, as well as the daily necessities collected by the Japanese army. We will also hand over the remaining materials such as grain to you. After all, post-war reconstruction requires funds and food!"

"Thank you! I believe you know what our family background is. I won't refuse such a good thing!"

After laughing, the two quickly discussed the post-war reconstruction. At this time, at the Eighth Air Brigade Airport, a group of special troops of nearly a thousand people were gradually boarding large transport planes parked at the airport.

Looking at the combat troops boarding the plane, Hu Biao also said seriously: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while. Lao Xu, this time the airborne assault battalion of the Special Forces Brigade is fighting for the first time. I hope you can win the championship!"

"Please rest assured that the assault battalion will ensure that the mission is completed!"

"The fighter jets and bombers of the Eighth Squadron will clear the Japanese targets near the iron mine area for you. When you arrive at the airborne area, you must parachute in the shortest time and complete the battle assembly, and then take down the iron mine area for me."

"yes!"

Although Hu Biao also wanted to train more airborne troops, the transport aircraft in this era had very limited capacity. After some consideration, Hu Biao decided to train a battalion backbone in the special operations brigade first.

When this airborne assault battalion is proficient in airborne assault training and combat, and when the subsequent transport aircraft capacity increases, the scale of the assault battalion will continue to expand. In fact, the airborne assault battalion has also caused certain casualties during training.

As the saying goes, training a brand new army will be greater than expected, both the cost and the risk. But in Hu Biao's view, the Wolf Army must train the airborne army.

Once you have such a long-range strike force in your hand, Hu Biao can also do it, sending combat troops to the enemy's rear at any time. He can completely avoid the enemy's troops deployed on the ground and directly sending troops into it through transport planes.

The tactics of the center blossoming will surely make many troops afraid. The assault battalion is the elite of the special combat brigade, and its combat level is one to ten. Even if there is only one battalion, the combat power it explodes is extremely powerful.

Looking at the multiple transport planes that were flying into the air, although Hu Biao wanted to lead the team in person, he knew that this kind of combat mission was not suitable for him. Now he is more of a rear commander, and there are really not many opportunities to lead troops to fight on the front line.

Under the escort of the Eighth Eagle Strike Team, the flight formation quickly arrived at the mine area where the Japanese army sent heavy troops to defend. When several fighter jets roared, the Japanese army responsible for guarding the mine also began to yell: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Air defense! Air defense!"

In the past, only the Japanese army threw bombs on others' heads, but now it is their turn to taste this taste. It has to be said that the situation of feng shui is indeed very sad. Compared to the panic of the Japanese army, the workers in the mining area began to become excited.

"It seems that we are saved now! Damn Japanese, they are today too!"

"Oh, don't be too happy too early. This plane can blow the Japanese at most, but it still can't help but save us! Unless it is nearby and on the ground, we want to be rescued, and there is no hope!"

The previous period was sneak attacked by the Qiongdao Column twice, and the Japanese army also strengthened and strengthened the fortifications of the mine. They even sent a squadron of artillery in the mine area. But this squadron was useless in the next place.

Several shells fell from the sky, and the artillery placed in the artillery positions were quickly bombed. Not far from the mine, the transport plane began to open the hatch door, and a commando began to prepare for parachute diving.

"Start countdown! Five, four, three, two, one, jump!"

The commando standing in front of the cabin door jumped down with his backpack on his chest. When the first team member jumped off, the commando behind him had almost no thoughts and boldly jumped out of the cabin door.

The officers and soldiers of the assault battalion have conducted such parachuting training many times. It’s just that compared to the past, but this time it’s just a practical battle. Not long after, white umbrella flowers began to bloom in the air.

The scout of the Qiongdao Column who was responsible for acting as a guide said in shock: "Oh my God! Your soldiers can really fall from the sky! This is really incredible! What kind of soldiers are they? Is it easy to practice?"

Faced with the inquiry from the guide, the special combat brigade advance team members who were responsible for guarding the ground of the assault camp also said seriously: "It is difficult to practice, and it is very dangerous! If you are not careful, you may have an accident, and your hands and feet will be broken and your hands and feet will be injured!"

Hu Biao also knew that he could not hide too many people about the airborne troops. He believed that even if the Eighth Route Army knew this army and wanted to carry out corresponding training, he was afraid that he would not be able to do it for a while. Without transport planes and parachutes, how could he organize training?
