As the saying goes, 'time can always heal everything, and it is always easy to make people forget sadness', Hu Biao and his entourage, who stayed in the cemetery underground palace to temporarily avoid the edge, although they all felt a little depressed, but no one was clamoring to leave the underground palace that could provide safe shelter.

Chen Gongshu, who originally planned to send a report to contact the outside world three days later, finally stayed in the underground palace for five days at Hu Biao's suggestion. Then, under Hu Biao's instructions, the blocking team that retreated into the tunnel with them established a warning position in the cemetery in advance.

Looking at the re-erected telephone poles and the re-flashing radio signals, Hu Biao also said calmly: "Wuzi, call our radio station first, I want to know if Lao Xu and the others have returned to Anhua Mountain safely." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

With the departure of Zhao Xian and Liu Guotong, Zheng Jingwu is now responsible for sending and receiving newspapers. As an old subordinate brought out of the Snow Shame Camp, although Zheng Jingwu had participated in telegraph operator training, he was not a spy in the military control system.

Perhaps it was because of his identity that Hu Biao chose to send Zhao Xian away and leave Zheng Jingwu behind. has experienced so much with Hu Biao, Zheng Jingwu also knows very well that the chief he really needs to be loyal and obedient is Hu Biao.

Five days have passed, and the Japanese troops stationed in Jinling finally staged a ceremony to enter the city, driving the people of Jinling who had not been able to flee their homes to the gate of the city and staging a so-called farce of 'welcoming' the Japanese army into the city.

As for the Presidential Palace, which was reduced to ruins and forbidden areas, the entire area around the Presidential Palace was regarded as a forbidden area by the Japanese army, given that it took time for the remnants of special ammunition to evaporate. In a short period of time, this area will be transformed into a rare Jedi.

Although it was the middle of the night, Xu Sandao and others, who had returned to Anhua Mountain to successfully join the Snow Shame Camp, declined the invitation of Gui Shuzhen and others, and resolutely decided to stay in Anhua Mountain, and fought guerrillas in Anhua Mountain before Hu Biao could wait.

Compared with Xu Sandao, who could ignore Shangfeng's instructions, Liu Guotong, who was only a major earlier, was promoted to colonel by virtue of his record of sticking to the presidential palace and leading his troops to break through, and was officially appointed as the commander of the third brigade and five regiments of the teaching corps.

Although Liu Guotong also wanted to stay and wait for news, the teaching corps, which had been safely withdrawn to the rear, would usher in a new round of expansion. The Fifth Regiment, which had been expanded in Jinling, must also be ordered to withdraw to the rear to rest and recuperate, and be ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

Before leaving, Liu Guotong also said reluctantly: "Brother, if there is news from Chief Hu, remember to tell me as soon as possible." When I saw Chief Hu, I asked my brother to convey my apologies. The military order is like a mountain, and I can't delay it! ”

"It's okay! If the captain is still alive, he will understand you! Cherish all the way, and hope to see you again in the future! ”

"There will definitely be! If there is anything I can help in the future, a letter and a telegram, Liu will go all out! ”

But no one expected that on the second day after Liu Guotong led his troops to leave Anhuashan, Zhao Xian, who was still sticking to the radio, saw the radio station that was called again, and quickly put on the headset and said: "It must be the captain!" ”

For some reason, in the hearts of the officers and soldiers who followed Hu Biao in the battle, many people were willing to call Hu Biao the captain instead of the battalion commander and commander. But there are not many people who are really qualified to call Hu Biao 'captain', even if Zhao Xian is almost qualified.

Listening carefully to the radio signal sent, Zhao Xian, who was recording, burst into tears in an instant, and shouted at the soldier on duty at the door: "Xiao Li, hurry!" Call Platoon Commander Xu and them, it's a telegram from Xiao Wu, there should be news from the captain! ”

"Good! I'll go! ”

The sentry in charge of guarding in front of the telegraph room was the soldier of the guard platoon who broke out with Xu Sandao. When he heard that another telegraph operator had sent a telegram, he also burst into tears and ran towards the headquarters of the Snow Shame Camp.

As the Snow Shame Battalion formed by Hu Biao, there was a chance to leave with the breakthrough troops earlier and withdraw to a safer rear. But Xu Mingzhi and others still chose to stay. All said they were waiting for the return of the battalion commander, whose fate was uncertain.

In the face of the insistence of Xu Mingzhi and others, even Gui Shuzhen could not force the order. This time the breakthrough was successful, including Gui Shuzhen himself, all the troops who broke through with him must owe Hu Biao a favor.

During this time, because Hu Biao never had any news, the atmosphere of the entire Snow Shame Camp was a little depressing. Even if it was so late, several important persons in charge of the battalion, without exception, stayed at the battalion headquarters to smoke and chat and wait for news.

Seeing the sentry who rushed into the headquarters, Chen Qiang, who was staying outside to smoke, frowned and said, "Xiao Li, what's wrong?" Panicked? ”

"Squad leader, battalion commander has news! I just received a telegram from Xiao Wu, Platoon Commander Zhao asked me to call you over! ”

"What? Captain got news? That's great! I said, the captain will be fine! ”

Without notifying anyone else at all, he threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and Chen Qiang immediately rushed towards the telegraph room. Like Chen Qiang, the other Xu Sandao and others who stayed in the battalion headquarters all ran to the telegraph room at a speed of 100 meters without exception.

Only at this time can everyone truly realize the irreplaceable importance of Hu Biao. Although Xu Mingzhi and others have agreed that if Hu Biao really has a misfortune, then they will also join together and continue to stay in Anhua Mountain to fight guerrillas with the little devils.

Some time ago, in order to meet the main force defending the city to break through, the Snow Shame Battalion also fought a battle with the Japanese army outside Jinling City. When the main force left, the Snow Shame Battalion also sent a lot of supplies, including a large number of Japanese-style combat equipment.

It can be said that if it weren't for the equipment and materials sent by the Snow Shame Battalion, the defending troops who successfully broke through would not have been able to return to the rear safely. After many of the main forces successfully broke through, the consumption of weapons and ammunition was extremely serious.

got the weapons and ammunition sent by the Snow Shame Battalion, as well as a large amount of food and ammunition, which stabilized the morale of the army. even broke through the county town guarded only by the Japanese squadron, and seized all kinds of urgently needed combat and living materials in the hands of the little devils.

If it weren't for the little devil chasing after him, I was afraid that the rear that was occupied by the little devil earlier would be completely chaotic. has been chasing the main force of the defending force that broke through, and the little devil didn't expect that the Snow Shame Battalion would dare to stay in Anhua Mountain.

Fortunately, the troops left behind have been expanding the transfer space in the mountains during this time, and after exterminating several groups of bandits, the Snow Shame Camp is also known as the last family in Anhua Mountain. It's just that, in order to avoid alarming the little devils, the Snow Shame Camp has never set up a flag.

After receiving the first telegram sent by Zheng Jingwu, the content on it was also very simple, one was to report safety, and the other was to inquire about the situation in the camp. Xu Mingzhi, as the deputy battalion commander, immediately said: "Call back to the battalion commander, inform our department that everything is fine, and look forward to his return soon!" ”

For Xu Mingzhi, when Hu Biao was away, he had been temporarily borrowing the position of battalion commander. But now the strength of the Snow Shame Battalion is much more than before. The main forces defending the city that broke through earlier left the wounded who were not suitable for breaking through in the mountains.

Although it brought a lot of burdens to the Snow Shame Camp, Xu Mingzhi, who had been a prisoner of war, knew very well that the troops broke through with the wounded, and the end of these wounded would not be too good. If you send it to the mountains, even if the medicine is not enough, it can at least save your life.

Some of the lightly wounded, as long as they recuperate for a while, will also become new members of the Snow Shame Camp. These soldiers who participated in the defense of Jinling and survived all the way through the siege, as long as they recover from their injuries, they are all veterans with rich combat experience!

If it weren't for the inconvenience of taking it on the road, I was afraid that those troops who broke through would be reluctant to leave these veterans who had survived a hundred battles. As a result, after the departure of the main force, the strength of the Snow Shame Battalion was not reduced, not to mention the expansion of two wounded companies.

With the addition of the five combat companies formed earlier, one logistics company and the formally formed artillery company, there are now as many as nine companies in the Snow Shame Battalion. According to Xu Mingzhi's meaning, as long as Hu Biao returns, the Snow Shame Camp can be expanded into the Snow Shame Regiment.

After receiving a call back from the Snow Shame Battalion, Hu Biao said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, ask again, the situation of Liu Tuan's attachment to the breakthrough troops!" ”

"Yes!"

The tick-tick, tick-tick tick of the telegraph is very pleasant to the ear in the night. After Hu Biao's contact with the Xueyi camp was over, Chen Gongshu contacted the Wuhan camp, and after the telegram was sent, the camp also quickly called back.

During this time, Dai Li, who had been waiting for news from Chen Gongshu, received a telegram from the officer on duty, and immediately put on a military coat and rushed into the telegraph room. Confirming the news that Hu Biao was still alive, Dai Li also seemed very excited.

Then he said: "Call back to the left-behind place and tell it to be cautious." Now the whole city of Jinling has been controlled by the Japanese army, and the whole city is still under curfew and martial law. If possible, let them find a way to evacuate Jinling as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, Bureau!"

"You send a telegram first, and I'll call the commissioner and tell him the good news. With this good news, the committee should be able to sleep soundly tonight. During this time, the commission was also very concerned about that kid's situation! ”

Dai Li, who had already been criticized by Lao Jiang because of Hu Biao's incident earlier, naturally did not dare to make similar mistakes. Moreover, there are already people in the government who are dissatisfied with the military command and plan to set up a new intelligence agency to divide the power of the military command!

At such a time, if you don't hurry up to show your loyalty, if you really want someone else to divide the military command, then Dai Li, the director of the military command bureau, will greatly shrink the power at hand. It's a rare opportunity to perform, and Dai Li would not miss such an opportunity.

Lao Jiang, who had already rested, saw the phone call into the residence, and knew that there must be something important. After listening to Dai Li's report, Lao Jiang also said happily: "Okay, it's good to be alive!" This time, you have done a good job in the detention center! ”

"It's all a credit to the commission! If it weren't for the commissioner's consent to open that secret passage, I am afraid that Chen Gongshu and they would not be able to rescue that kid into the secret passage when the presidential palace was surrounded on all sides. That kid, the most important thing to thank is the commission! ”

"That's it! Since the boy is still alive, send him a telegram in my name and ask him what reward he wants? Although I appreciate him very much, I can promote him to general, but I'm afraid that he will be almost hot, so let's give him another level! ”

In less than half a year, he was quickly promoted from a sergeant to a lieutenant colonel, which is already incredible. If Hu Biao is really promoted to major general, how will other veteran officers in the army feel?
