Chapter 373 - Expansion of the Special Service Company

Regarding the details and handling of the tracker, Hu Biao, who embarked on the road back, handed it over to Sun Erxi to be responsible. Since Sun Erxi was appointed as the captain of the operation in Shanghai, Sun Erxi should be given more opportunities to fight independently.

If he can't even handle this little thing, I'm afraid that Hu Biao will also doubt his level of seeing people and cultivating people. If Hu Biao is worried about everything, after the further expansion of the army in the future, it is estimated that it will not be enough to split Hu Biao in half.

Although no ceremony was held, Lin Yashi, who returned to the team, still served as Hu Biao's confidential staff officer. It's just that during the march, Hu Biao didn't let Lin Yashi live in a tent with him, and still let her live with Erzhuo's sister.

But for many soldiers in the spy company, in the past, they just secretly called their sister-in-law, but now they can call it openly. Knowing this situation, Hu Biao still confessed to everyone, and still called Lin Yashi Lin Staff Officer in the army.

Taking a woman to the battlefield is somewhat unreasonable. As a commander, Hu Biao doesn't want to go too far. For Hu Biao's self-discipline, Lin Yashi didn't feel anything bad, and the other subordinates were even more convinced.

Hu Biao, who set out from Shanghai and went straight to Runzhou, did not march in a hurry on the return trip, but asked Liu Shixing to lead him to the county seat where he had passed several times, to meet with the intelligence officers arranged there by Liu Shixing, and listen to their opinions.

Regarding Hu Biao's sudden appearance, these intelligence team members selected from the Snow Shame Camp were extremely excited. In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, many intelligence officers said directly: "Battalion commander, if you want to say that what needs to be solved urgently is the problem of communication!" ”

"As for the communication, you have to wait a little longer. When I return to the base this time, I will start training a group of operators. As for radio stations, I have already purchased a lot from Shanghai. As soon as the operator is in place, the radio will be distributed. ”

It is certainly not enough to have a radio station, but also to have someone who can receive and send telegrams. Zhao Xian, who was left at the base by Hu Biao earlier, has now been working as a radio instructor, selecting reliable personnel from the shame camp to handle the situation.

Even according to Hu Biao's request, some literate girls were selected from among the girls who enlisted in the army to serve as newspaper operators. In Hu Biao's view, girls are more careful than men in nature, and they are more conducive to lurking.

The only thing to worry about is the problem of stealthily cooperating with the intelligence officer. Most of the intelligence officers assigned to various cities are strong young men with strong blood, and if a female newspaper operator is assigned, it is easy to have an accident after a long time.

Although Hu Biao did not prohibit his subordinates from marrying, he also knew that those who married would have a much more complicated mind. In this matter, Hu Biao still plans to place more female newspaper operators inside the base, and male newspaper operators on the outside.

If there is an agent couple, Hu Biao will not refuse. In the name of husband and wife, it will also be safer to lurk in enemy-occupied areas. At least Hu Biao still hopes that his subordinates can have a few more spy personnel like 'Yu Zecheng' and 'Cui Ping'.

At this point, Hu Biao asked himself if he couldn't compare with Yan'an. Fortunately, the core requirement for Hu Biao to set up an intelligence system was to keep an eye on every move of the Japanese troops stationed there. The little devils don't move, so they can lurk in peace.

Having such an intelligence team will also provide the most favorable intelligence support for Hu Biao's development and expansion in Soviet Province. Even if the little devil plans to carry out a sweep in the future, everything can be expected to be the enemy's first opportunity, and the little devil can't find the target if he wants to.

After giving encouragement and affirmation to these intelligence officers, Hu Biao also conceived the layout of Soviet Province in his heart. In Hu Biao's vision, the counties along the way from Runzhou to Shanghai must have an intelligence network that can transmit information quickly.

Only in this way can Hu Biao seize the initiative on the battlefield and avoid major intelligence mistakes. At least one thing Hu Biao knows very well that once the little devil knows that the Snow Shame Camp hidden in Anhua Mountain is his troops, he will inevitably raise a heavy army to encircle and suppress it.

What he is doing now is also to prevent trouble!

During the inspection, Hu Biao also said to Liu Shixing: "Although I hope that the intelligence station will be set up as soon as possible, I also know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." In this matter, you can take control of your own proportions.

It's better to pick and choose more than one person, and never arrange uncontrolled people for the sake of progress. As a veteran informant, I'm sure you're well aware that the consequences of a traitor in your team can be catastrophic. You have to keep this in mind! ”

"Understood! This kind of loss, I have suffered once, and I dare not make it a second time! ”

Liu Shixing, who was recruited by Hu Biao to serve under his command, has always been grateful to Hu Biao for saving his life. Even if Liu Shixing knew that Hu Biao revealed his latent identity, he also came from the military commander's question. But he still felt a sense of abandonment.

Now that he has set up an intelligence system for Hu Biao, Liu Shixing also knows that this matter is very important to Hu Biao. What touched Liu Shixing the most was that Hu Biao was very supportive of his work in terms of money and personnel, which made him feel that he was highly valued.

Don't look at Liu Shixing as just an intelligence team leader, but among Hu Biao's subordinates, his power is still not to be underestimated. After the construction of the intelligence network throughout the Soviet Province is completed, I believe that Liu Shixing's status in the intelligence community will not lose to those bigwigs of the military command at all.

When Hu Biao and his entourage officially entered the territory of Runzhou, Hu Biao thought for a while and said: "Sandao, you take the team back to the base first, and tell Deputy Battalion Commander Xu that I plan to go to a few guerrilla base areas to have a look." I'll be back to base in a few days! ”

"Captain, why don't you let us accompany you!"

"No, you don't! You go back to the base first, and the brothers are also working the road, so let's have a good rest in the mountains for two days. In addition, Company Commander Lei and the others have been in the mountains for a long time, and they probably want us to come back soon!

Go back first, and give me a good reception for the brothers who have come out of the group. In addition, let them know in advance that in a week's time, I will hold a military competition in the whole battalion, and at least 100 reserve special combat personnel will be selected from them. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Since there is a task to return to the base, it is not easy for Xu Sandao to be too reluctant. Even if he took away the main force of the spy company, Hu Biao still retained a platoon of elite members by his side. If you meet a little devil, I believe you won't be able to suffer.

What's more, Hu Biao, who carried the radio with him, could call for support from the guerrillas in the territory at any time if he really needed any operations. If Hu Biao really wanted to fight these county devils, it is estimated that the counties in Runzhou would have been in chaos a long time ago.

Seeing off Xu Sandao and his entourage, Hu Biao took the guard platoon and began to inspect the base areas behind the enemy lines opened up by the combat company. For Hu Biao, who visited suddenly, the company commanders of each company were also extremely surprised. The soldiers of the company felt even more happy.

"Battalion commander (captain), you're back!"

looked at Hu Biao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and mingled with the soldiers as soon as he appeared, and the company officers of each company were very envious. Don't look at the fact that they are now in a county, and they have a certain amount of operational command. But in the Snow Shame Camp, Hu Biao's prestige is irreplaceable.

If it was that company commander, I really thought they could pull this team away and go it alone. Maybe without Hu Biao's own hands, these subordinates who are grateful to Hu Biao will take the lead in rebelling against them and beating their black guns.

Not to mention, Hu Biao always controls the team's financial power and material supply. When the salaries were paid each month, the soldiers knew who had paid them. took Hu Biao's salary, so he naturally had to follow Hu Biao's orders.

Every time he arrived at a combat company commander, Hu Biao would give some greeting gifts. Among them are weapons and ammunition, as well as some local products purchased from Shanghai, which can basically ensure that every soldier can get a gift and get some benefits.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dinner, Hu Biao also announced in a timely manner: "Speaking of which, what I, the battalion commander, have done is a little inauthentic, staying outside to fight for so long, letting my brothers stay in the mountains to watch their families, and practice hard every day.

When I come back this time, I plan to expand the special service company and select at least 100 reservists from the whole battalion. These team members will have the opportunity to go out with me to fight after a while. If you all qualify, then I will also increase the admission quota appropriately! ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of each combat company were eager to try: "Battalion commander, when will it be selected?" ”

"A week later! In order to ensure a fair and open selection, I will give you a reserve quota of 30 people per company. As for who among these thirty people can pass the final examination, it depends on your own ability.

The selection list is organized by your own companies, and I only need the strongest thirty people in your company. Then the rest of the people can only miss this opportunity and wait for the next time! In short, remember what I told you about military training, and it's not a bad thing to practice more! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

The salary of the special service company is much higher than that of an ordinary combat company. Although he went out to fight with Hu Biao, he was likely to die on the battlefield. But many soldiers know that joining the special service company can learn stronger combat skills.

The most important thing is to become Hu Biao's descendant, and have the opportunity to go to other places to take up higher positions in the future. When you are a soldier, you generally want to be a squad leader. As a squad leader, who doesn't want to be a platoon commander in the future?

At present, if Hu Biao is willing to let go of these veteran members of the spy company, I believe that the company commander of each combat company is willing to exchange a few more soldiers with Hu Biao. An ordinary soldier of a special service company can at least be a squad platoon leader in the lower company.

It seems that the quota of thirty people is three times more than the previous ten, which also means that the top thirty fighters have the opportunity to participate in the final assessment. Even if they are eliminated in the end, they are glorious compared to the other fighters of the company.

Even if the eliminated fighters, Hu Biao will take the time to let the veterans of the special service company teach them some new combat skills. When they return to the company, most of them will be promoted and reused accordingly.

For the company commanders of each company, even if Hu Biao picks the best soldiers. Fighters who have participated in the selection competition can improve their strength a lot when they come back. In this way, the company commanders of each company actually did not suffer a loss.

Under the condition of healthy competition, the soldiers of all combat companies are very active in training. As for those inactive fighters, they can only become old fritters and work on some logistical aspects of the company.

Although they can still receive military salaries, compared with other soldiers who aspire to become elites, their future development prospects and 'money' prospects will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. If you have the opportunity to be a hero, who wants to be a bear yourself?
