The raid on the coal mine seized by the Japanese army in Zaozhuang on a rainy night again shocked the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang again. However, the failure of the investigation team of the special high school department has once again caused the investigation to fall into a dead end. Fortunately, this time, the railway seems to be fine.

In order to ensure the safety of the railway and ensure the smooth completion of the repair work, the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang had to transfer more troops to protect the railway line in the territory, and even built pillbox fortifications on the railway line to prevent the railway from being attacked.

Compared with the Japanese troops stationed in the city, they became nervous again, but Hu Biao seemed extremely calm. After receiving the transaction telegram from the Eighth Route Army and making an appointment with the transaction location, Hu Biao took Xu Sandao and others down the mountain again.

Although during this time, there were also plainclothes people who went to villages outside the mountains to inquire about the news. The problem is that Hu Biao, the rescued prisoners of war and Qingzhuang, all went into the mountains at night, and they didn't have any contact with the villages outside the mountains, and they couldn't get any information in plainclothes.

Even in the process of these plainclothes inquiring about the news, the scouts of the spy company found out that they had been killed in the name of bandits, not to mention that they had successfully found out that the little devil was casting a wide net to find the murderer.

After listening to the scout's report, Hu Biao also said with a smile: "During this time, the reconnaissance platoon worked hard and paid more attention to the strangers who appeared outside the mountain. As long as anyone dares to enter the mountain, whether it is the people or the spies, I will be arrested first.

Those caught were first sent to the bandit cottage outside the base for interrogation. Confirm that it was the people who trespassed by mistake, and give them a brief lesson to leave. If it is plainclothes who have come to inquire about the news, then let them have no return, and arrest them for labor reform.

After the month-long intensive training, each company was asked to send a platoon of troops to those outposts. In this way, at least it seems to outsiders that there are still many bandits in the mountains. If you have a chance, find a big family who takes refuge in the little devil and show his face. ”

Knowing that the mountain chosen by the base has always been active by bandits. During this time, it was rare for the people in the villages outside the mountains to live a peaceful life. But the bandits don't go out of the mountains, where do they get food and clothing?

After a long time, it will inevitably arouse some people's suspicions. In this case, it is also very necessary to let the troops pretend to be bandits to rob big households. First, to tell the outside world that there are indeed bandits in the mountains, and second, to raise some supplies and food for the troops.

In recent years, in order to protect their family wealth and also to strengthen their local power, most of the wealthy landowners in the countryside will raise some armed family members and buy some weapons to guard their homes and homes. Ordinary people naturally dare not provoke.

Even if some bandits want to fight the idea of these rich people, they must be careful to fall behind. But for Hu Biao, these rich people are a piece of fat to keep around. When he needs to, he will be able to clean up the other party.

What needs to be done now is still to develop in a low-key manner, and to give the rescued prisoners of war more time for training and unifying their thinking. After a period of rest and training, many prisoners of war also knew what units they had joined.

According to Hu Biao's contact with the Xueyi Battalion, the Xuesha Battalion, which is currently based in Runzhou, will operate in the name of the Runzhou Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment. As for the troops on Zaozhuang's side, they operated in the name of the Zaozhuang guerrilla detachment.

According to Hu Biao's vision, he hoped to establish a guerrilla detachment base in Sulu, Henan and other bordering provinces. This detachment can be large or small, and can be developed according to local conditions. The size of the detachment should be controlled to about 2,000 people as much as possible.

Confirming that the little devil had not yet found his hiding place, Hu Biao was also slightly relieved. After these two operations, the grain stored in the base is enough for the troops to use for a month, and there is no need to worry about the shortage of materials in a short time.

After the reorganization of the troops is completed and the corresponding defenses and hidden fortifications are established in the mountains, Hu Biao will begin to organize a ransack of Zaozhuang. Of course, before sacking Zaozhuang, Hu Biao would also find an opportunity to rob a military train.

After these two battles, Hu Biao would transfer the main force of about one battalion from the troops that had completed the training to the next place for development. Use this battalion as bait to divert the attention of the Japanese troops and make them think that they have left.

In this way, the troops who continue to stay at the base will be able to develop in a low-key manner with peace of mind. After that, he walked out of Zaozhuang and went to the surrounding areas to rescue the prisoners of war, fill the strength of the Zaozhuang guerrilla detachment, and expand the scope of the team's base area.

Xu Sandao, who arrived at the trading place agreed with the Eighth Route Army and joined Guo Ziming in advance, saw the special commissioner of the Eighth Route Army who had arrived, and said directly: "You are not slow to come!" So soon, just rushed over? ”

"This is an order personally issued by the headquarters, how dare we slack off? Where's your Captain Hu? ”

"No hurry! Soon to come! ”

After saying this, Xu Sandao quickly followed the newspaper operator to issue an order. The snipers and scouts lurking in the trading location did not notice any ambush. This is also done to ensure the security of the transaction.

Seeing Xu Sandao going out, he even carried a radio station, and the commissioner was also very surprised: "You have a lot of radio stations!" By the way, I don't know if the radio deal negotiated between the headquarters and your Captain Hu this time, can you sell us two copies this time? ”

"Mr. Zhang, when our captain arrives, you can talk to him personally! I don't know much about the radio! ”

"Good!"

Knowing that Hu Biao didn't show up, it was more to ensure safety, and Zhang Guangwu, who was in charge of negotiating this time, didn't feel anything wrong. When it comes to expensive and scarce drugs, it is also very necessary for Hu Biao to be cautious!

It didn't take long for the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who were in charge of guarding the perimeter, to tell a group of armed men dressed in civilian clothes to come to the mountain pass. Just when Zhang Guangwu was about to ask, Xu Sandao said, "That's our captain!" ”

"Release!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Hu Biao and his entourage who were walking towards him, the soldiers around him were carrying a lot of boxes, and Zhang Guangwu also seemed very happy. What surprised him a little was that Guo Ziming had been exploring for a long time during this time, but he still hadn't found out where Hu Biao was hiding.

In the two operations before and after the rescue of prisoners of war, Hu Biao should have gathered thousands of troops around him. The amount of materials consumed by such a group of people every day is not small. But the grain trade in the city doesn't seem to find anything unusual.

From the telegram to the appearance of Hu Biao and his entourage, it is not difficult for Zhang Guangwu to guess that Hu Biao should have been hiding in Zaozhuang. Just for the sake of safety, Hu Biao and these people rarely appear, so that the outside world does not know where he is hiding.

After the two sides shook hands, Hu Biao also said directly: "Mr. Zhang, if I guess correctly, you should be the commander of the Qilu Column, right?" I take the liberty to ask, is your column currently on the Zaozhuang side, is there any armed force? ”

Hearing Hu Biao's direct inquiry, Zhang Guangwu also smiled in surprise and said, "Captain Hu is very well-informed!" ”

"I have also heard of the guerrilla warfare of your army behind enemy lines in Qilu. As far as I know, the base areas behind enemy lines that you are currently focusing on developing should be in the Yimeng Mountains. Don't mind, Mr. Zhang, I don't mean to inquire into your army's secrets when I ask this.

In addition to intelligence cooperation with you, I also have a good relationship with the military commander. At least Mr. Zhang should know that it is somewhat impossible for you to hide from the eyes and ears of the military commanders in your guerrilla warfare in the Qilu region. ”

"Captain Hu is serious! Earlier, Mr. Zhu personally sent a telegram asking me to ask Captain Hu more about guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. Since Captain Hu took the initiative to ask, then what I am hiding is a little unfriendly, I am the chief of staff of the Qilu Column. ”

"It's really embarrassing to let Chief of Staff Zhang run in person! Okay, let's start trading! ”

Confirming Zhang Guangwu's identity and position, Hu Biao was not too verbose, and directly asked Tian Tiezhu to bring the box containing the medicine. Looking at the neatly stacked medicines in the medicine box, Zhang Guangwu also seemed a little excited.

Picked up a few boxes of medicines and said, "It's all good medicine!" It's all good stuff! Captain Hu can get so many medicines, it's really amazing! ”

"Prizes! Since I want to do business with you, I can't do it without some sincerity! It's still the old rule, pay a deposit of 30%, and the rest of the money will be settled after you sell the drug. The thirty percent deposit, Mr. should have brought it, right? ”

"This is natural! The boss specially instructed to pay with gold and Dayang, the money is in the box, and ask Captain Hu to count it! ”

The accompanying guards were also motioned to open the boxes they had brought in. Seeing that the small box contained gold bars, and the rest of the boxes contained the ocean, Hu Biao took a brief look and said, "Okay!" Then let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other! ”

"Captain Hu, don't you want to order?"

"If I don't even have this trust, how can I take you a 30% deposit?"

For Hu Biao, he was not worried that the Eighth Route Army would run out of money. The reason is very simple, in the matter of drug trading, the Eighth Route Army has a request for him. If the Eighth Route Army really dared to give less money, the next time they wanted to buy medicines, they would not be able to find a channel if they had money.

With such a cheap price, plus such a complete variety and quantity, except for Hu Biao, the Eighth Route Army can't buy it there. If you really have to count the money in front of you, Hu Biao is also worried that those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will be red-eyed!

Of course, it doesn't mean that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will have other bad thoughts, this kind of redness is something that many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army will feel reluctant and pity. The reason is very simple, such a large amount of funds were saved by the Eighth Route Army.

Now that I see Hu Biao a few boxes of medicine, I have exchanged such a large sum of money, and I can't tell how to complain that Hu Biao is a black-hearted trader!

After trading the medicines, Hu Biao looked at Guo Ziming, who was acting as a liaison, and said in a timely manner: "Captain Guo, the weapons and ammunition I promised you before, I will also bring them to you this time." Now fulfill the promise in front of Chief of Staff Zhang, do you have no opinion? ”

"That's okay! What about that! I didn't help much with the previous incident! ”

"You deserve it! After all, without your help in finding out the news, I would not have been able to take the Zhongxing Coal Mine so easily. Little devils' rifles and bullets, don't you dislike them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Guangwu also smiled and said: "How could it be! Although the little devil is bad, the quality of the weapons produced is still good! Compared to the old sleeve, the rifle of the little devil, we are still very rare! ”

I thought that Hu Biao would use other domestic rifles to fulfill his promise, but I didn't expect it to be a hundred three # eight big covers. With such a generous gift, how could Zhang Guangwu, who was plagued by a shortage of weapons, refuse it!
