As a company and an artillery company began to enter the city, the Japanese troops in the city, who had been completely defeated, were quickly cleared. Hu Biao and his entourage, who took over the city defense, also began to clean up the battlefield and arrest traitors and puppet government officials according to the list provided by Guo Ziming.

Earlier, Hu Minyi and his entourage went into the city to lurk, and it was also with the help of Guo Ziming that they were able to successfully avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese army. In order to ensure the safety of Guo Ziming, an underground traffic officer, Hu Biao asked him to continue to lurk and not participate in the follow-up cleaning of the battlefield.

The money and property seized from the Japanese garrison headquarters, as well as the money and property copied from the traitors and puppet government officials, were all sent to the barracks and concentrated. The supplies stored in the barracks also began to be loaded into trucks ready to be pulled away.

Considering that the garrison headquarters was in ruins, Hu Biao temporarily borrowed the military camp of the little devil and used it as a temporary headquarters, and began to send telegrams to the Lunan guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army and Qian Zhong, who was still in the railway to carry supplies.

Sun Xinghua, who received the telegram from Hu Biao and was urging his subordinates to hurry up and carry the materials, was also shocked and said: "So fast! Oh my! I really didn't expect that your captain really captured Zaozhuang City. ”

"Captain Sun, in fact, before the captain attacked Zaozhuang, there were only about two squadrons of little devils left in the city. With such a small number of troops, we have to pack it up, and naturally there will be no problems. ”

"Wait! According to the information we have gotten, the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang should have a large number of troops, right? ”

"That's right! Before we attacked the military columns, there were indeed more than a thousand little devils in the city. It's a pity that in order to keep the two military columns alive, the little devil sent a reinforcement of more than 800 people, but was ambushed and annihilated by us outside the city. ”

"Awesome! So, we should be free of war tonight? ”

In the face of Sun Xinghua's inquiry, the newspaper operator who was still staying in the guerrilla detachment thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this!" It's just that we should all know that the sooner we move supplies into the mountains, the safer we will be. ”

"That's right! Fortunately, I brought a lot of troops, and after a while, the supplies on this cart should be able to be cleaned! ”

"Good! Then I'll send a report to the captain! Does Captain Sun have anything else to say? ”

"Nope! Wait, tell your detachment leader, if you can, I hope that the exchange of supplies that he said earlier can be carried out as soon as possible. After this battle, I can understand that your weapons and equipment are much better than ours! ”

"In fact, all of our weapons have been captured. As long as you win more battles, these weapons will be available! ”

Weapons to win!

For this kind of talk, the fighters of the special service company do not deny it. But in the same way, they also know that weapons are dead, and the person who wields the weapon is the key. With the level of combat of the guerrilla detachment, it is difficult to exert its maximum power even with weapons.

Qian Zhong, who also received a telegram from Hu Biao, looked at the troops who were also busy carrying supplies, and also said loudly: "Brothers, I have good news for you. The detachment commander led a company and an artillery company to successfully capture Zaozhuang City.

Work hard, clean the supplies on the train as soon as possible, and then go back to the mountain to drink celebratory wine. If we let the detachment leader go back to the mountains first, we will be embarrassed by then. You know, there are a lot more people on our side than them! ”

"Yes, battalion lieutenant! Brothers, roll up your sleeves and work hard! ”

The good news of the capture of Zaozhuang City is also an incentive for the soldiers of the detachment who are transferring supplies. Despite the earlier battles, many of the fighters didn't really get much of a chance. But winning a battle is a joy to be.

What's more, when transferring supplies before, looking at those boxes of little devil military supplies, many soldiers also fantasized about drinking the little devil's sake and nibbling on the taste of the little devil's canned food after returning to the mountain. The most important thing is that there should be a reward for winning the battle!

According to the rules and regulations formulated by Hu Biao before, every time he wins a battle, he will be given a corresponding reward salary. There are rewards that belong to the collective nature, and there are also awards that belong to the individual. No matter what kind of reward, you can lead the salary after all!

As the materials began to be loaded and transported outside the city, thinking of the large-caliber howitzers on the military train, Hu Biao called Xu Sandao and instructed: "This side of the city will be handed over to you to be responsible, I need to go to the railway!" ”

"Okay, leave it to me here, and make sure you evacuate safely before dawn!"

"I left Xiao Wu here, and the reconnaissance detachment has been sent out. If you receive a telegram from the reconnaissance detachment and there are little devil reinforcements arriving in advance, you must withdraw from Zaozhuang before the reinforcements arrive, and you are not allowed to entangle with the little devils! ”

"Understood!"

"Before leaving, don't forget to put up those anti-war slogans! In addition, let the patrolling fighters shout and let them go out of the city and hide for two days. I'm worried that after the little devil enters the city, he will poison the people in the city! ”

"Remember!"

After some explanation, Hu Biao took Qin Tianyou and a platoon of soldiers, and soon left Zaozhuang City. When he came to the artillery position outside the city, Hu Biao only took away the infantry guns and mountain artillery, and the mortars were handed over to the artillery company to carry back to the mountain.

When he returned to the mountains, Hu Biao would also distribute all these infantry guns and mountain guns that were not easy to carry to the artillery company. With these artillery, the detachment's defense capability in the mountains will also be further strengthened.

After a short stop, Hu Biao and his entourage rushed to the railway line again by running. Seeing Qian Zhong and the others who were still carrying supplies, Hu Biao asked Qian Zhong to transfer a combat company and pick out some heavy weapons from the captured materials.

These included six infantry guns, as well as ten mortars and a fleet of light and heavy machine guns. Seeing these weapons picked out by Hu Biao, Qian Zhong said with a little puzzlement: "Detachment leader, are these weapons given to the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"Of course not! This is our trophy, and of course it will not be easily given to the Eighth Route Army. Our military train carried more weapons and ammunition, and relatively little daily necessities and food. The Eighth Route Army's military train was completely opposite to ours.

Earlier, I discussed with their detachment commander to exchange these weapons and ammunition with them for a batch of food and daily necessities. With these weapons and ammunition, the strength of the Eighth Route Army can also be further improved, and we can also get the materials we want. ”

Although Hu Biao can not give an explanation, when it comes to the trophies of the troops, and it is the first spoils captured after the formation of the detachment, he also needs to give his subordinates a reasonable explanation. Hearing the exchange of food and daily necessities, Qian Zhong didn't say much.

At present, the detachment itself has a batch of this batch of artillery used for exchange, plus the six large-caliber artillery pieces that have not yet been removed from the military column, there are too many infantry guns and mortars, in fact, they can't use them, so it is better to exchange them for something useful.

Take a company and carry these weapons for exchange to the area where the partisan detachment is located. Looking at these weapons and ammunition brought by Hu Biao, Sun Xinghua also felt very excited. Artillery is a weapon, and the Eighth Route Army also hopes that the more the better.

Looking at Hu Biao, who led the team over, Sun Xinghua also smiled and said, "Captain Hu, thank you!" ”

"No, you don't! I hope you can use this batch of weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. I believe that it will not be long before the little devils will launch a large-scale sweep against you. Before the Japanese army swept away, I was afraid that the main force under my command would leave. ”

Hearing this, Sun Xinghua did not hide it and said: "I borrowed your radio station earlier, and we have already sent a telegram to the column. The commander of the column said that the main force of a regiment would be sent over the day after tomorrow at the latest.

With the weapons, ammunition and supplies seized this time, we can also deal with the little devils for a while. Speaking of which, we were able to have such a big seizure this time, thanks to Captain Hu's help. It stands to reason that we should send you a batch of supplies for free! ”

"Forget it! Captain Sun, I also know the situation of your troops relatively well. Your family has a big business, and no matter how many materials and weapons you have, you are not afraid that you will not be able to digest it. We have few troops, but there is not much shortage of weapons and ammunition, but we need to reserve more food. ”

It is clear that Sun Xinghua is a little embarrassed and feels that he has repeatedly taken advantage of himself. But Hu Biao also knows that when it comes to the mouth of the Eighth Route Army, it is somewhat difficult to make the Eighth Route Army spit it out.

In the name of exchange, exchanging a batch of materials with them is believed to be easy for the Eighth Route Army to accept. Compared with food and daily necessities, the Eighth Route Army needed weapons and ammunition more. Where there are weapons, there are troops, and where there are troops, there are combat captures.

Knowing that Lin Dingyuan led people to attack Zhangzhuang, Hu Biao also said directly: "Captain Sun, it's best to send someone to Zhangzhuang later, and let Chief of Staff Lin take people to transfer as soon as possible." Not surprisingly, the little devils around Zaozhuang should be on the way to help. ”

"Understood! When the materials are almost transported here, I will personally take someone to Zhangzhuang for a trip! ”

After exchanging materials, Hu Biao asked people to transfer the materials directly. didn't stay long on the side of the guerrilla detachment, Hu Biao returned to the side of the military column. After the transfer of materials was completed, Hu Biao ordered Qian Zhong to lead the team back to the base.

When the railway began to become quiet again, Hu Biao returned to the carriage where the six howitzers were located alone, and put the six guns into the storage space one by one. The shells placed in another car box, Hu Biao also did not let go.

Confirming that there was nothing left on the railway line, Hu Biao also said directly: "Old Qin, arrange the deceitful thunder explosive device and prepare to retreat!" Wait for tomorrow, it is estimated that Zaozhuang will also become very lively! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Laying out treacherous mines before leaving the battle scene has become the operational rule of the special service company. The corpses of those little devils were still equipped with scorn explosive devices. If the little devil wants to clean up the corpse, he will have to be bombed!

As for the railway line, after tonight's attack, it is believed that this railway will still be in a state of suspension for a short time. The little devil wants to resume the opening of traffic, but I am afraid that it will take a while to do it. This time, the mileage of the railway blown up is much more than before.

The main force of the Little Devil Division, which is fighting on the front line, wants to wait for the supplies delivered by the baggage troops in the rear, but I am afraid that it will still have to wait for a while. For a short time, the little devils could only continue to rely on the Grand Canal and roads to transport supplies.

As for the railway, with Hu Biao in one day, it is almost impossible to resume the opening of traffic. When the next railway resumes operation, I believe that the Battle of Xuzhou has already come to an end. A new campaign will be played again in a new area!
