Considering the Japanese reinforcements and aircraft, it is very likely that they will arrive at the ambush battlefield area. After a brief meeting, Hu Biao led the people out of the battlefield. As the commander who watched the battle, Mr. Zhu and his entourage also left the battlefield in advance and retreated to a safe area.

Upon learning that the convoy had been ambushed near Xiangtangpu, the Japanese brigade stationed in Licheng immediately set out. The Japanese airfield built in Changzhi also began to become busy, and planes quickly rose into the air to rush in for reinforcements.

But for the Eighth Route Army, which organized and planned this ambush battle, they had long considered the situation of Japanese reinforcements and planes. When the Japanese fighter planes flew over the battlefield, they saw countless bombed-up cars and dead bodies everywhere.

As for the main force of the Eighth Route Army that ambushed the Japanese army, it had long disappeared into the surrounding jungles and mountains. The Japanese fighters who brought it with them had no choice but to vent their anger and threw some bombs into the valley near the battlefield.

As a result, it was clear that the little devil found nothing except for blowing up some flowers and trees in the valley. The Japanese troops who rushed to the rescue from Licheng could only collect the corpses when they arrived at the battlefield, and it was not easy to find the disappeared Eighth Route Army.

Recently, the Eighth Route Army has repeatedly ambushed the Japanese army's transportation and supply lines, which has indeed caused a lot of trouble to the Japanese army. Just if they want to completely eliminate the Eighth Route Army behind the enemy, the Japanese army must also gather heavy forces to encircle and suppress in order to achieve the corresponding effect.

At present, the main focus of the Japanese army is the Battle of Xuzhou, which was carried out around opening up the north-south communication line. The rest of the fighting can only be resolved by the garrison troops themselves. The terrain and road conditions in the southwest of Shanxi Province also brought a lot of trouble to the Japanese army's encirclement and suppression.

In short, in addition to being indignant, the Japanese garrison stationed in the southwest of Jin could only ensure the safety of the occupied county. Most of the towns and villages around the county town have become the world of the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, and it is extremely difficult for the Japanese army to control them.

Looking at the Japanese plane that dropped a few bombs in anger and finally had no choice but to leave, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Let's go, go back to the temporary camp." Today's battle is estimated to be enough for the little devil to feel distressed for a while. ”

"Captain, we spent so many shells and bullets, why don't we want any loot?"

"If you want people to help, you have to give some benefits! Don't be petty, the loot will be there. What's more, this convoy itself was the first target of the Eighth Route Army. We just happened to be there, so what's the point of asking for loot? ”

Knowing that these team members under his command still have some contempt for the Eighth Route Army. Hu Biao is also well aware that this situation is also common in other troops. If you want to talk about who is the poorest in the anti-Japanese war army, I am afraid that many people will say that it is the Eighth Route Army.

Compared with the anti-Japanese war troops under the combat sequence of the national army, although it will also be divided into three, six, nine and so on. However, for the Eighth Route Army, which entered the enemy line to fight, the military pay and materials they could receive from the Nationalist Government were probably less than those of other troops.

Entering behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army had to consider how to develop and expand, as well as how to survive. In order to maintain relations with the people in the base areas, the Eighth Route Army did not dare to do anything that would cost the people and money, and the only way to develop and expand was to rely on seizure.

It can be said that every time a major battle plan is formulated, the Eighth Route Army must be extremely cautious. In an ambush war like today, the troops of the three main regiments are used to ambush them, and if they don't make any gains, the troops will also be wounded.

Only by constantly winning battles and seizing booty and materials from the hands of the little devils can we ensure the development and survival of the troops behind enemy lines. Hu Biao, who knew these circumstances, how could he be embarrassed to grab the spoils with the Eighth Route Army?

Not long after Hu Biao returned to the temporary camp, Qin Tianyou and his entourage, who had entered Licheng to reconnoitre, also returned safely. Qin Tianyou was also very surprised to learn that Hu Biao had participated in the ambush battle on the road outside the city, and immediately reported some reconnaissance information.

After listening to Qin Tianyou's report, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Compared with the Japanese garrisons in the southern cities, the garrisons in the northern cities are obviously more. A Li city actually stationed nearly a wing of troops, and the Japanese army really attached great importance to it! ”

"According to the information we have found, after the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan, they have been trying to open the passage from Shanxi to Henan. The Jin Sui army, which was defeated by them earlier, also retreated to the southwest of Jin, and the Japanese army never achieved much success.

Licheng and Lucheng were military stations and material supply depots for the Japanese army to attack southwest Shanxi. It's just that recently, the Eighth Route Army has been ambushed frequently, and the losses of the Japanese army are not small. Looking at this situation, when the Japanese army frees up their hands, they are afraid that they will launch a large-scale counter-encirclement and suppression. ”

Regarding Qin Tianyou's analysis, Hu Biao nodded and said, "Not bad!" It seems that during this period of time, you have all grown a lot, and you have begun to have a view of the overall situation of the battlefield and know how to analyze the situation on the battlefield. It seems that I have wronged you a little by letting you be the platoon commander. ”

"Didn't you learn this from the captain!"

After everyone laughed, Hu Biao continued: "I brought you here this time, and I also hope that you will have a good look at how the Eighth Route Army fights and develops behind enemy lines. We want to grow in the South, and their experience is very valuable for us to learn from.

Guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines is the skill of the Eighth Route Army, and we must all study it well. Don't look at their strength now, but their development speed will definitely exceed your imagination. In the future, the north will become their guerrilla zone.

The strategy of 'encircling the cities from the countryside' formulated by the Eighth Route Army may not be effective in a short period of time. When their guerrilla zones continue to increase, and the various guerrilla zones begin to merge, even if the Japanese army reacts, it will be too late.

It seems that the Japanese army has occupied many county towns at present, but imagine that if the towns and villages outside the county are controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the little devils stationed in the county will become a piece of meat in the mouth of the Eighth Route Army, and they can eat it whenever they want.

This time, I took you north, and I also hope that you can see the world more and see how the Eighth Route Army fights and develops behind enemy lines. It's not a bad thing to learn a little more things, and we should also humbly ask for advice and learn from other people's good things, you know? ”

The Eighth Route Army will fight against the north and south of the national army in the future, and even after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the national army will be beaten to pieces. Hu Biao will definitely not say these things, and even if he says it, others may not believe it.

But as the commander of the Snow Shame Battalion, it is also necessary for Hu Biao to form a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army. Although he didn't think about how to deal with himself in the future for the time being, Hu Biao felt that he had never thought of conflict and confrontation with the Eighth Route Army.

When Hu Biao and Xu Sandao and others were analyzing the development strategy of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, Mr. Zhu and others, who had returned to the rear base area, were also discussing and analyzing the true intentions of Hu Biao and his party. This situation was even reported back to Yan'an for reporting.

After receiving the telegram sent by Mr. Zhu, Yan'an quickly analyzed and discussed the matter. According to the intelligence collected by the Eighth Route Army, Yan'an felt that Hu Biao and the national army did not seem to be as close as they imagined.

"According to what we know, Hu Biao has a deep connection with the military commander, and he is also deeply loved by Dai Li and that person. It's just that Dai Li and that person have been solicited many times, but this person refuses, saying that he would rather fight guerrillas behind enemy lines.

Behind enemy lines, he assembled an all-prisoner force that was said to be impossible to move except him. Although he was promoted, he and his subordinates never seemed to have received a salary, and they had always been in a state of independent combat! ”

After listening to the intelligence analysis given by the person in charge of intelligence, Taizu quickly said: "No matter what the other party's intentions are, at least he doesn't show any hostility. It is not a problem for us to settle a family, and we can help with this little help.

Most importantly, you should know that the boss said in the telegram that this man has a batch of medicines that can be sold to us at a low price. It's a business, but I think it's okay to do it. Drugs can sometimes save lives! ”

The lack of medical treatment and medicine was also extremely serious in the Eighth Route Army. Many outstanding commanders and fighters often died because they were wounded and could not receive timely medical treatment. In many cases, medicines, the Eighth Route Army could only rely on combat capture.

Whether on the front line or in the rear, there is never too much medicine, only too little. Sometimes, the Eighth Route Army even had money in their hands, but they couldn't buy scarce Western medicine. Even the national army, which was richer than the Eighth Route Army, now has a hard time procuring Western medicine for gunshot wounds.

After receiving instructions from Yan'an, Mr. Zhu quickly sent a telegram to Hu Biao. Although within the Eighth Route Army, there is its own universal codebook. can be the same anti-Japanese war troops, the Eighth Route Army and the national army also have telegraph exchanges from time to time.

After agreeing on the place of the transaction, Hu Biao quickly explained the situation to the Huang family. Knowing that Hu Biao did not send him to Yan'an, but let the Eighth Route Army escort him, the Huang family did not feel any surprise. Yan'an, after all, is the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

Hu Biao and his entourage belong to the national army, and the Eighth Route Army does not deal with the national army, and the Huang family also knows about it. Now let the Eighth Route Army send someone to escort them, and the Huang family doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, anyway, they also settle down in Yan'an.

Arriving at the village where they agreed to meet, looking at Wang Hongchun, who he had met before, Hu Biao was also very surprised: "Brigade Commander Wang, I still bother you to run in person, I really can't stand it!" This is the Huang family, and I will bother you to take care of it in the future. ”

"Captain Hu is serious! The boss had an explanation before, and he would send someone to send them to Yan'an later. When they arrive in Yan'an, we will also arrange accommodation for them. Rest assured, we will definitely make sure they are safe. ”

"Brigade Commander Wang, you don't need to take any special care. If they could, I hope they could buy a house or a few acres of land in Yan'an, do some small business and farm some fields, and live a little ordinary life, they themselves are ordinary people.

For the other two small ones, I hope that Brigade Commander Wang can talk to Mr. Zhu about whether he can arrange for them to study in the academy. On the other hand, I gave them a settling-in allowance and a pension, hoping that the money would not cause any trouble. ”

"Please rest assured, Captain Hu! I came today on the order to take you to our headquarters as a guest, and by the way, talk about the business you said. When you tell the boss about these things, I believe the boss will arrange them properly! ”

Considering that this kind of drug trading can be carried out for a long time, Yan'an also hopes to establish corresponding procurement channels. Even if Hu Biao is not in the north at that time, he can still contact and negotiate with their intelligence personnel in the south.

For the Eighth Route Army, there is no fear of too many medicines. Even if they can't use it up, they can sell it to Jin Suijun at a high price. If this kind of business can be carried out for a long time, it will not be a way to make money for the Eighth Route Army!
