The battle that was originally expected to last one day, but in the end, only half a day was spent to break through the Japanese defense line, the main force regiment, which was the first to break through the Japanese defense line, sent a telegram to the division headquarters, informing that it had all controlled the core areas of the island and was clearing out the stubborn resistance forces on the island.

The Japanese army, who successfully captured the brigade command center set up on the island, were still fighting stubbornly, soon fell into a state of melee. Faced with the strong attack of the Independent Army combat troops, the Japanese army, who really didn't want to die in battle, finally surrendered.

Even though there has been news of the Japanese army blockade, many Japanese recruits who were forced to conquer could not face such a cruel war. For them, they wanted to go home alive. They did not want to bear the responsibilities imposed by the empire on them.

If you know that you want to survive, you must throw away the weapons in your hand. If you have weapons in your hand, the attacking Independence Army will still shoot. With the first soldier who threw the gun and raised his hand to surrender, the other soldiers who wanted to survive would feel relieved.

The independent officers and soldiers who were accused of the attack began to shout in Fusang language: "Stop the gun and don't kill it! Raise your hands and throw away the gun!"

The familiar language brings endless sadness to the surviving Japanese army. After the Japanese officer who was unwilling to accept the defeat, he shot and killed the soldiers who tried to surrender, he was resisted by the soldiers and eventually fell under the guns of the soldiers.

No matter how unwilling the Japanese officer, he saw this scene, he knew that there was no need to fight this battle. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and wanted to survive, and the command center could not contact him. The gunshots from behind had already told them what was happening in the city.

The ambitious Japanese officers were unwilling to surrender and could only choose to swallow their guns and commit suicide. However, more Japanese soldiers began to throw away their weapons in batches and surrender to the Independent Army. Seeing this scene, the commander of the Independent Army responsible for the attack also seemed relieved.

"Damn it! It seems that the battle has finally been completed! Leave a team of people to take over the prisoners, and the rest of the troops continue to advance!"

"Yes! Battalion Commander"

The other two attacking troops began to advance into the city. The remaining Japanese troops in the city who were trying to escape happened to run into the Independence Army that surrounded them. The two sides fought fiercely, and the Japanese troops who did not surrender fell at the gun of the Independence Army without exception.

After the gunfire on the island gradually subsided, Xie Jinyuan, who was located on the outer island, was very excited and said: "Send a report to Wolf Head and inform our troops that our troops have successfully recovered Xiang Island. Please inform us of the next combat mission!"

"Yes, the commander!"

After receiving the good news from the Third Division, Hu Biao, who was waiting for the news in Zhenning Prefecture, was also very happy and said: "In half a day, he defeated the blockade of a Japanese infantry brigade. The Third Division performed well and sent a commendation telegram in my name!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

Looking at the map hanging in the war room, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Order the Third Division to take over the entire island and quickly build the airport and port terminal, cooperate with the Eighth Route Army guerrilla detachment to manage Xiang Island, and beware of the Japanese counterattacks that may be launched at any time.

With this frontier position, we can gather more advantageous forces in the next step to attack the Japanese army's next important strategic island, Ryu Island. This island must be taken back no matter what, and inform the special combat brigade to be prepared for battle!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

Compared with the small-scale Xiang Island, the larger Liu Island is the island that Hu Biao must regain strongly. If he can seize Liu Island before the Japanese army announced his surrender, Hu Biao will also consider reclaiming the surrounding affiliated islands.

According to the joint combat agreement reached with Menia earlier, Menia also hopes that the Independence Army's front can continue to push forward. Even Menia does not object, and the Independence Army sends troops to Fuso to cooperate with Menia to carry out landing operations.

At the European battlefield where Menia participated, the Allied forces and the Soviet army began to divide the German army's land and compete for their respective victories. Although the German army was still struggling to death, many people knew how much time was left to the German army's defeat.

On the other hand, the Japanese army, which were fiercely fighting with Menia on the outer islands, would inevitably encounter even more crazier blockades when carrying out landing operations in Menia. If the independent army can participate, it can also share some pressure for Menia.

After receiving a call from Hu Biao, Xie Jinyuan, who had had a secret conversation with Hu Biao before coming, was also very clear. Before the domestic battlefield was over, the Independent Army needed to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army guerrillas to control the island and prohibit other forces from intervening.

As for the British colonial army, which had loan interest in this island earlier, had signed a corresponding contract with Hu Biao. This also means that this island that has been colonized for many years has been truly recovered.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters, which also received the telegram, were also concerned about the war. Qiong Island, which was recovered in the previous period, Xiang Island, which was recovered at this moment, and Liu Island, which may continue to be recovered in the later period, Hu Biao has agreed to hand it over to the Eighth Route Army to take over.

With these three islands located in the southeast, the Eighth Route Army will also have more say in the southeast. In addition, Hu Biao also promised to train the Navy for the Eighth Route Army and hand over a batch of fighter jets to the Eighth Route Army.

These promises were a great encouragement to the Eighth Route Army and Yan'an, making them more confident to compete with the Shancheng side. They even believed that with the Independence Army standing completely on their side, the Shancheng side would not last long.

As for the same sentence, although Yan'an had already expected that the mountain city would not be willing to fail. However, with the variable of the Independence Army, Yan'an was more confident. After pacifying the north, he began to take over the unified areas of the southern countries.

Considering that the Xiangdao guerrillas were weak, they received a telegram from the guerrilla detachment, and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters immediately sent a report to the Qiongdao Column, drawing a main division from the island to station in Xiangdao to strengthen their defensive power there.

Hu Biao didn't think anything was wrong with this. Whether he admitted it or not, he was the ruler of the southwestern colony at present, and it was still a bit inappropriate to station his troops on Qiongdao and Xiangdao.

Lao Jiang, who also received the relevant telegram, couldn't help but start cursing again after seeing the telegram. He knew very well that the Independence Army was already completely on the side of the Eighth Route Army, and this strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside still made him feel panicked.

When we found a close cooperation representative in England and informed the relevant information, the representative of England said helplessly: "We have signed an agreement with the Southwest Independent Army for the Xiangdao affairs, and we have no right to interfere!"

"What? What power does he have to take over? Even if he wants to take over, our troops should take over, right?"

"Sorry! This is a question that you need to discuss, and it is not convenient for us to intervene too much. At this stage, we need the support of the Independent Army. Recently, they have cooperated with our colonies in India and have recovered many occupied areas.

We believed in your strength before, but the result was that your officers were greedy for the military pay we paid. We retain a neutral attitude when it comes to this matter. It is also your problem to communicate!"

For the British colonial army, the counterattack of the First Independent Army has been extremely effective recently. The originally precarious war, accompanied by the first army's bold attack, finally made the British colonial commander breathe a sigh of relief and began to recover the lost territory that had fallen before.

The most important thing is to find the Independence Army, a powerful and reliable ally, and internal struggles began to occur in the rebel alliances in the territory. Many rebel soldiers were willing to have the conditions to cooperate with the British colonial army and cooperate with the colonial army to suppress the Japanese army.

For the British colonial army, how could it be easy to reverse the war situation?

Even if we want to tear up the previous agreement signed, we need to consider the consequences. After all, when signing the secret agreement, there are also witnesses from Menia and France and France. If we turn against each other, what will the Allies think of them?

In the final analysis, whoever has a strong fist will cooperate with the British colonial army! As for the current situation, does Chiang Kai-shek dare to turn against Hu Biao? Not to mention that the three southwestern provinces have close ties with Hu Biao, and forcibly issuing orders will only make the gains less than the losses.

Regarding these, Hu Biao, who received the secret report from the big rat, still couldn't hide his disappointment: "It's so sad to count on foreigners in everything!"

Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the mountain city, a large number of civilian ships began to dock on the recovered Xiangdao. As a main division under the Qiongdao Column entered Xiangdao City with great strides, many people found it incredible.

"Good, it's really unbelievable that it's the Eighth Route Army. Aren't they in the north?"

"You don't know yet? A few months ago, the Eighth Route Army recovered Qiong Island occupied by the Japanese. I heard that the southwest colony that was previously occupied by foreign Japanese seemed to have been recaptured by our people.

The troops that had previously entered the city were said to be the troops that recaptured the southwestern colonies, and it seemed to be called the Independence Army. Those planes and warships were said to be from the Independence Army. It seems that the Japanese are grasshoppers in the autumn and will not be long before they jumped!"

If it were ordinary people living in the inland, they might not be very clear about what happened in the southwest colony. But for the people on the southeast coast, it is no secret that the southwest colony was recovered by their own people, and the Southwest Independence Army has gradually become well-known.

The combat troops, which were still called the Wolf Army internally, and the Independence Army externally, began to become famous as they walked out of the colonies. When they learned that Xiangdao was recovered by the Independence Army and invaded the Japanese troops in the southeast, they also began to fall into panic.

Once the Southwest Independence Army launches a counterattack from the sea, it is probably not good to wait for their destiny. Most importantly, as the power of the Southwest Independence Army expands, the supply of Japanese devils in various parts of the Southeast will also have problems.

At least for the Japanese cabinet ministers, they must start to consider what to do next. Although all parts of the north are still under the control of the Japanese army, the lengthened supply lines also put a great burden on the Japanese army.

Withdrawal or peace talks have also begun to become a problem for the Japanese cabinet ministers. What even surprised Hu Biao was that the Japanese army had begun to secretly draw the main force of the Kwantung Army from the Northeast to return to China, and seemed to have begun to prepare for local defense wars.

After learning this information, Hu Biao finally knew that his prophet's advantage no longer exists in the subsequent war. It seems that he needs to continue to fight in order to know what the war will be like next.

If Menia cannot develop an atomic bomb as scheduled, it is basically impossible to make it surrender unconditionally with the Japanese's urinary nature. That also means that this war that has lasted for several years will continue to be fought!
