As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns. In the Taierzhuang area of Lunan, the Fifth Theater of Operations, which was responsible for garrisoning, taught the Japanese 10th Division a painful lesson. After the war, almost all of the divisions failed to recover.

In order to recover the field, but also in order to repay the shame of the defeat of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of mechanized divisions, and the north and south six routes were divided into joint attacks.

In particular, the decisions made by the senior generals of the national army blindly fought hard with the Japanese army in Lunan and neglected the defense of Luxi and Huainan, which led to strategic passivity. In order to avoid being encircled and annihilated, the Fifth Theater could only retreat on all fronts.

The fifth war zone retreated on all fronts, which meant that the area they had defended earlier was once again surrendered to the little devils. Even the Xuzhou area, which the national army focused on defending, also fell immediately. The Battle of Xuzhou has officially entered the countdown stage.

In contrast, the guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines commanded by the Eighth Route Army provided direct or indirect assistance to the Battle of Xuzhou. The ambush and sabotage battles carried out by the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei and the New Fourth Army in southern Jiangsu and eastern Anhui effectively supported the Xuzhou operation.

With the help of the information provided by the military commanders, Hu Biao still had a relatively detailed understanding of the battle situation in Xuzhou. And he also knew that the Japanese army that won the Battle of Xuzhou would still pursue the main force of the retreating national army non-stop.

This also means that even the man-made diversion of the Yellow River will not be avoided. Thinking of Hu Biao here, he still sighed that his 'butterfly', the power of flapping his wings was too small, and he still failed to change too much of the historical process.

Fortunately, Hu Biao thinks that this is actually good. If history changes too much, Hu Biao will feel worried. Some of his ideas and arrangements for the future are also based on the historical trend of the Anti-Japanese War, and there will be no advantage if there are too many changes.

Receiving a telegram from Zhang Guangwu, informing him that the Qilu Column had dispatched a guerrilla detachment to officially advance into the Zaozhuang area to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "The real big army, I'm afraid it's still behind!" ”

Although Hu Biao didn't know very well, when the deputy division commander Xu who had met before led the main force into Qilu. But Hu Biao still knows that in view of the current chaotic situation in Qilu, the Eighth Route Army will not miss the pace of expansion.

At present, in the Qilu region, although there are many anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of the national army, most of them are not in the climate. There are even some so-called anti-Japanese armed forces, under the banner of anti-Japanese resistance, but what they do is to oppress the people.

There are not many anti-Japanese armed forces that really dare to fight hard with little devils in the current Qilu land. The Eighth Route Army sent a main force into Qilu to carry out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, which was also an extremely wise and long-term decision in Hu Biao's view.

After receiving a telegram from Zhang Guangwu, Hu Biao once again convened a meeting of the company-level officers at the base. In view of Qian Zhong's cooperation and obedience, Hu Biao still appointed Qian Zhong to the position of deputy head of the Zaozhuang detachment.

The leaders of the two detachments were all served by Hu Biao. But the materials of the base are still managed by the special service company. As long as these seized materials, weapons and ammunition are kept, Hu Biao is not afraid that Qian Zhong will lead people out against him.

A two-faced person would not be reused in such an era. After being rescued from the coal mine, it was impossible for Qian Zhong to defect to the Japanese army, and it was difficult to persuade his subordinates to defect to the national army. As for taking refuge in the Eighth Route Army, does the Eighth Route Army really dare to accept it?

After all, Qian Zhong is a smart person, and he knows very well that only by hugging Hu Biao's thigh will they have a way out. After nearly a month of rest and training, more than 800 prisoners of war have fully adapted to life in the mountains.

By taking turns to train in rotation, Hu Biao let these prisoners of war know the new rules and military rules and discipline of the army, as well as the treatment and rights they enjoyed. The treatment provided by Hu Biao alone made many prisoners of war feel that it was very worthwhile.

Through this period of contact, Hu Biao's prestige in the prisoner of war camp was also increasing. Especially for those rescued prisoners of war, most of whom were sick, their loyalty to Hu Biao was undoubtedly the highest.

Even if they were more or less earlier, they were all Qian Zhong and those old subordinates of the company platoon commander. But many prisoners of war knew that the only one they were truly loyal and obedient to was Hu Biao. At least at this stage, Hu Biao has been very kind to them.

Arriving at the detachment headquarters at the base, the six company commanders and Xu Sandao and others who came to the meeting also began to chat. For these appointed company commanders, they knew very well that Xu Sandao, Qin Tianyou and others were Hu Biao's close confidants.

For meetings in which the platoon commanders of each company are not eligible to participate, the three platoon commanders of the special service company will participate. Although I don't know who will stay in the detachment instead of Hu Biao after Hu Biao leaves in the future, it is not a bad thing to have more contact with a few people.

Just when everyone was sitting and chatting and bragging, Hu Biao, who came over with Tian Tiezhu, soon saw a group of company commanders who got up to say hello. Waving his hand and smiling, "Sit down!" After spending so much time in the mountains, would you feel too bored? ”

In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, the company commanders also smiled. Chen Haocheng, the most trusted company commander by Hu Biao, said with bright eyes: "Detachment leader, is there a combat mission?" If you continue to raise it like this, your brothers will all gain weight! ”

As Chen Haocheng said this, Hu Biao continued to smile and said, "It seems that you still want to go out of the mountain!" I sat down first, and I called you here today to ask how the training work of each company is going.

As I told you earlier, my training principle is to be a good soldier. If I'm not mistaken, the 1st and 2nd companies have already completed live-fire training. Tell me, how is your company's live-fire target shooting results? ”

took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, lit one by himself, and threw out the rest of the cigarettes. The company commanders, who had already participated in several meetings, were not polite to Hu Biao, and those who could smoke smoked all smoked a cigarette.

As company commanders appointed by Hu Biao, they receive a higher monthly salary than soldiers, and the corresponding benefits are also quite a lot. For such things as cigarettes, company officers can receive four packs a month, almost one pack a week.

For these company commanders, the four packs of cigarettes distributed every month are also a rare good thing. In the company, there are some old smoking guns. Although there was a grocery store at the battalion headquarters, if the soldiers wanted to smoke, they had to pay for it themselves.

In general, Hu Biao's management of the troops is still relatively humane. But in terms of the system and discipline of the army, Hu Biao is still very strict. Most of the soldiers who violate military discipline will be punished by confinement.

In more serious cases, the punishment of shooting will even be directly given. Fortunately, at this stage, except for a few soldiers who were locked up in confinement, no one dared to violate more serious military discipline. Even if it is confined, it has also made many soldiers change their color.

Hearing that Hu Biao began to ask about the training results of live ammunition target shooting, Chen Haocheng also quickly said: "In the first round of live ammunition target shooting, the pass rate is 70 percent, 30 percent can meet the excellent standard, and the results of the second round of target shooting have increased by 2 percent. ”

"It's all 100 meters?"

"Yes!"

For many prisoners of war, live-fire target training had never been experienced in the army earlier. Fortunately, they have all been on the battlefield and are veterans who have shot guns. The level of shooting is still a little lacking and insufficient.

After a brief inquiry, Hu Biao listened to the report of the second company. In contrast, the results of the second company are a little worse than those of the first company. Looking at the second company commander who was a little embarrassed, Hu Biao didn't reprimand, and said directly: "The second company will work hard in the future!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

After listening to the results of the company that had carried out real target shooting, Hu Biao also said directly: "I summoned you here today to inform you of a few situations. The first thing is the Battle of Xuzhou, which I mentioned to you earlier.

According to the information I have received, the troops of the Fifth Theater have withdrawn on all fronts, and the Japanese army is now approaching Xuzhou. Looking at this situation, the fall of Xuzhou should be a matter of the past few days. This means that Qilu will completely fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

The urine nature of the little devil, I believe you all know it. After defeating Xuzhou, the little devil will definitely not stop there, and will inevitably continue to move forward, pursue the main force of the anti-Japanese war troops that retreated to the rear, and strive to encircle and suppress more anti-war troops.

This also means that the troops of the Japanese army to the front line should not be able to return smoothly in a short time. Although we are not the main force of the Anti-Japanese War, we are also a member of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, you should also help the main force share the pressure and make some trouble for the little devils.

The most important thing is that we can't sit back and eat, and the materials seized earlier will eventually be consumed. If we want to expand our team and survive behind enemy lines, we have to store more supplies. Where do the supplies come from, only to grab them from the little devils! ”

After Hu Biao finished speaking, Qian Zhong also said directly: "Captain, you can give an order!" The brothers have been nesting in the mountains for so long, and they have long wanted to seek revenge on the little devils. Training alone, without actual combat, will not train elite soldiers! ”

Regarding what Qian Zhong said, Hu Biao also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I have long emphasized to you that it is necessary to let the soldiers know the truth of training for war. Sweating more in peacetime can shed less blood in wartime, this still makes sense!

At present, only the 1st Company and the 2nd Company have completed two rounds of live-ammunition target shooting, and the rest of the companies have only completed one round of target shooting. Overall, the target shooting results were not bad. But as you all know, the targets we hit are fixed targets, but most of the actual targets are mobile targets.

Next, a third live-fire target was arranged in a row, and the distance was extended by 100 meters. The remaining companies also strive to complete the remaining two rounds of live-fire target training as soon as possible. After three rounds of training, I hope that the fighters will be able to improve their marksmanship.

Physical training, the next step is also to be brought up. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the training of each company, I will transfer six squads from the guard company to each company to assist in the training. The combat effectiveness of the guard company, I believe I don't need to say more, right? ”

"Good! If the guard company can help with the training, we can also save a lot of worry! ”

During the period of training in the mountains, the officers and men of the various companies knew that the training intensity of the special service company was greater than that of the other companies. It was precisely because of the exemplary role of the spy company that the soldiers of the various companies did not dare to say that their training was too hard.

The soldiers all believe in the principle that the strong are respected, and having the soldiers of these spy companies go to the company to assist in training, which can stimulate the competitiveness of the soldiers of each company. With this kind of competitive spirit, I believe that the training effect of each company will be further improved!
