Chapter 147 Takeover of Command

led his troops back to the city and stationed at the Army Academy, and the actions of Hu Biao and his entourage naturally attracted the attention of many people. At this moment, most of the people and troops who are still stranded in the city are panicking, for fear that the little devils will enter the city at any time.

This panic is largely due to Hu Biao's 'intelligence'. Knowing that the little devil resolutely resisted in retaliation for the anti-Japanese war troops, he caused huge casualties and losses to them, and planned to vent his anger with the soldiers and civilians in the city, and not a single prisoner of war was left.

This news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon spread among the people in the city and the troops defending the city. Most of the people who had been hesitant earlier began to pack their belongings and belongings, intending to flee out of the city at night.

Knowing that the teaching corps had successfully broken through, many of the troops defending the city were also rapidly leaving the city, and these people who decided to leave soon fled with the troops. The addition of civilians undoubtedly slowed down the retreat of the troops.

Hu Biao didn't know much about the situation in the city, and while there was still some time before dawn, Hu Biao found Chen Gongshu and asked him to take him around the streets and buildings around the presidential palace and the military academy.

Seeing that there were still people living in some houses, Hu Biao frowned slightly and said, "Didn't these people notify?" ”

"Informed! But some people don't want to leave at all. In the eyes of these people, they are reluctant to leave their homes! ”

Hu Biao, who heard Chen Gongshu's explanation, quickly said: "Three knives, lead a guard platoon, and carry out an investigation along the street." Houses where people live are forcibly warned to leave. Tell these people that this is about to become a battlefield! ”

"Battalion commander, if you do this, will it affect too badly?"

"When, and what impact do you have to consider? If you don't drive them away now, who will protect them once a war starts? Hurry up and leave now, there is still a glimmer of life. If you don't listen to persuasion, your attitude can be worse! ”

When reconnoitering the terrain, Hu Biao was also sketching out the defensive deployment of street battles in his mind. In order to kill as many little devils as possible, Hu Biao must ensure that the traps laid in advance will not be discovered by the little devils in advance.

Who can guarantee that there are no spy agents who are still staying nearby at this moment? Only by driving all the people in the combat area away can we ensure that the traps laid in advance will not be detected by the little devils in advance.

Compared with being a person with a good face and an evil heart, Hu Biao would rather play a role with a disgusting face in this situation. In order to complete the plan to expel the people as soon as possible, Hu Biao also asked the military commander to be responsible for cooperating.

Even if this kind of expulsion would make those people disgusted, Hu Biao would rather the people hate him for a while than hate him for a lifetime. Once the street fighting breaks out, who dares to guarantee that the little devils will not use these people as meat shields?

When this matter was handed over to Xu Sandao to do, Hu Minyi acted as Hu Biao's recorder, recording some combat deployments issued by Hu Biao at the scene from time to time. When the follow-up troops arrive, they can immediately be put into the corresponding defensive preparations.

When deploying the combat mission, Hu Biao said to Chen Gongshu beside him: "Old Chen, can you find an electrically activated detonator in the city?" How much can you raise in terms of explosives? There are no explosives, even shells! ”

"There should be quite a few electric detonators! As for explosives, there should be quite a few of them in the warehouse. Earlier, I had already instructed people to start transporting all the war materiel that the troops had not taken with them to the barracks and the presidential palace. I don't know exactly how many! ”

"Zhuzi, go back to the barracks immediately, inform Liu Tuanfu, and ask him to send soldiers who know how to install explosives, and come here to meet me immediately. Also, look at how many explosives there are, and pull them all over here. Time is limited, and we must act now! ”

Listening to Hu Biao's battle orders from time to time, Chen Gongshu seemed to be able to predict that once the battle began, this most prosperous neighborhood in Jinling City was likely to become a ruin. Hu Biao's ruthlessness is beyond his imagination!

I think that many houses and shops in this neighborhood are the property of those important government officials. If those people know that Hu Biao is ready to blow up all these houses and shops, I am afraid that those important government officials will also hate Hu Biao's hateful teeth.

But after thinking about it, although Hu Biao is a lieutenant colonel of the national army, he is not under anyone's command. Even though Dai Li always wanted to recruit Hu Biao, he was finally rejected by Hu Biao. is not in the system and is not governed by anyone, does Hu Biao dare to be so crazy.

In order to gain more time to build fortifications and block positions, the guard company was all transferred out by Hu Biao. According to Hu Biao's deployment, the first company of guards will cooperate with Hu Biao and be responsible for the battle near the presidential palace.

As for the remnants of the Fifth Regiment, which had more troops, the order they received at this moment was to seize the time to rest and recuperate. The lightly and seriously injured who had entered the city together earlier also began to receive treatment. If it was not suitable to stay and fight, Hu Biao let him go out of the city with the evacuated troops.

After receiving simple treatment, these minor and seriously injured people were also sent away one after another. Leaving these lightly and seriously wounded behind will only become a drag and burden on the troops. It is better to let them go out of the city to fight for a chance to survive by leaving them behind.

What made Hu Biao feel a little relieved was that Gui Tanzhen, who had successfully broken through the siege, seemed to know that it would take a certain amount of time for the troops defending the city and the people in the city to evacuate. For every army that left the city, a part of the troops had to be sent to participate in the blocking battle.

The 1st Brigade of the Teaching Force, which served as the pioneer, and the two main regiments have always maintained an offensive posture and continuously expanded the area of the evacuation route. Even if the little devil insisted on resisting, he still couldn't defeat the constantly reinforcing breakout troops.

Including the people who were driven away by Xu Sandao's troops at this moment, although their faces were full of unwillingness and anger, they could only choose to leave helplessly. When sending them away en masse, Xu Sandao also said sincerely: "It's also for your good to drive you away!" ”

"Without a home, how will we live in the future! Is this also for our good? ”

"If I don't drive you away now, you won't survive after dawn. Now that you have heard that the little devils will slaughter the city when they enter it. Then I tell you, the news is true, the little devil has already done it.

Hurry away now, but you can pick up a life, as long as people live, there will always be hope. When the little devil enters the city, you can't leave if you want to. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family! ”

Even if Hu Biao doesn't care about his reputation, Xu Sandao and others, as subordinates, don't want the people to misunderstand the Snow Shame Camp too deeply. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I was afraid that Hu Biao wouldn't want to be this kind of ruffian in the eyes of the people.

Hu Biao, who was preparing for street fighting, knew very well that the Japanese troops entering the city would definitely use light armor or tanks. In addition to this, the dispatch of the Air Force for bombing is not even ruled out, and these need to be taken into account in advance.

Looking at the list of supplies sent by Chen Gongshu, Hu Biao said with some surprise: "There are so many artillery?" ”

"Yes! If it weren't for the fact that the defending troops thought the artillery was too heavy and were unwilling to pull them on the road, it is estimated that these artillery pieces would not have been left behind. Earlier, most of our artillery regiments were destroyed by little devils. These cannons are all left that can still be used. ”

"Well, it's better than nothing! All these artillery pieces were sent to the military academy for Liu Guotong to select artillery and prepare to build an artillery position. As long as the little devil enters the city next, I will make this battlefield a hell on earth. ”

Listening to Hu Biao's words, Chen Gongshu, who felt the strong murderous aura again, suddenly felt that when the little devils began to enter the city, I believe that the stubborn resistance of Hu Biao and these people would also let the little devils know that the Chinese soldiers are not easy to mess with!

Chen Gongshu, who was impulsive in his heart, quickly said: "Brother Hu, can we join in the detention center?" We also want to kill the devil head-on! ”

"Brother, all of you are elites left behind, and it is too wasteful to put them on the frontal battlefield. If my brother really wants to help, there are some things except you, but I'm afraid that others really can't do it. Jinling City is too big, and this is the only area I can defend.

If you want to know what the Japanese army is doing outside the city, you need to be responsible for finding out the information. In addition to this, I believe that there are many troops hidden in the city who have been withdrawn from the battlefield, and it is up to you to call them back.

Telling those officers and soldiers who have withdrawn that they want to blend in with the people and escape the slaughter of the little devils will only make the little devils find an excuse to slaughter more people. If you don't want to affect the people, then come to the battlefield and kill the devil side by side with me.

In addition, I hope you can find someone from the government side and negotiate with those foreigners. Once the Japanese army made a move to storm the safety zone, let them send out the news and spread it to the whole country in the form of an explicit telegram. ”

As the capital of the Nationalist Government, Jinling is naturally home to many foreigners. Even though more foreigners like to live in Shanghai, there are still many foreign affairs agencies in Jinling, and the so-called safe zone is only demarcated in order to maintain neutrality.

Hu Biao didn't know much about these things. But in his previous life, he had seen a movie about Jinling, and he knew that these foreigners had rescued many people in Jinling. Under the protection of these foreigners, let them escape the merciless slaughter of the little devils.

It's just that behind the rescue, the little devil has also done a lot of cruel things to the safety zone, such as forcibly conscripting women into the army and kicking women from good families. Although the film has artistic processing, Hu Biao believes that what really happens is more cruel.

In order to avoid this kind of thing as much as possible, Hu Biao could only let the military commander act as a liaison to negotiate with foreigners in the security zone. Hu Biao also asked the military commanders to hand over a large amount of food and supplies stored in Jinling earlier.

If you want these foreigners to bother to help these war refugees, Hu Biao also needs to release some kindness. The business of war is the business of soldiers. But saving people is not something that a soldier should do?

In addition, Hu Biao also explained to Chen Gongshu and asked him to cooperate with the foreigners in the security zone to prevent the rout from hiding in the safety zone. The reason for this is to prevent the little devils from storming the security zone in the name of capturing prisoners of war.

In Hu Biao's view, it is understandable that these defeated soldiers do not want to fight, but they cannot harm the people. If these routs are unwilling to join the street fighting troops, then Hu Biao will also allow them to leave. If he does not listen to the advice, Hu Biao will also suppress it strongly.

With Gui Shuzhen ordering a breakthrough, there are not many formed troops in Jinling City now. As a newly promoted lieutenant colonel, Hu Biao should have the highest military rank in Jinling City at the moment. According to the rules of the battlefield, he has the right to take over the command of the defense of Jinling!
