Hearing the sound of gunfire, the Japanese troops in Chunxian County, who quickly sent troops out of the city to check the situation, could not have imagined that the Japanese infantry wing that passed by Chunxian County earlier would be completely annihilated. The remaining troops, if they are not rescued in time, may be completely wiped out at any time.

Looking at the embarrassed Shaozo Miura Zhenping, as well as other officers and soldiers below the adjutant, the Japanese lieutenant who was ordered to go out of the city to check the situation also did not dare to pursue Hu Biao and his party, who retreated quickly, but carefully covered Miura and others to return to the city.

When Shinpei Miura, in the name of the infantry wing, sent a telegram to the 18th Division, causing shock to the command of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army. Hu Biao, who was also resting in a valley near Chunxian, also sent a telegram to the military commanders in Wuhan.

After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Dai Li, who had been waiting for him early in the morning, couldn't hide his shock and said: "This guy is really unbelievable!" It seems that the official who was appointed to promote him is somewhat unworthy of his military exploits! ”

Considering that he needed to deal with the troops in the city when he entered Jinling this time, Hu Biao expressed the hope that the military department could be promoted accordingly in terms of military rank. As for the military salary, Hu Biao didn't expect to receive it at all, he just wanted to have a recognized identity.

With the merit of hijacking the military column, severely damaging the baggage wing, and making trouble in Runzhou City to blow up the dock warehouse and the river defense fleet, after Dai Li's instructions, Lao Jiang personally signed a letter of appointment and directly promoted Hu Biao to the third rank.

Even Lao Jiang said directly: "Yunong, if I have the opportunity, I want to meet this kid." On the occasion of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the party-state needs such a strong general. What do you think about making him the head of the regiment? ”

"Commission, as far as I know, although this son is brave and good at fighting, he is also a little unruly. The most important thing is that the commander of his unit, who is still imprisoned in a lone military camp in the Shanghai Concession, has also said many times that he does not want to accept anyone's command.

If it weren't for the purpose of entering Jinling this time, he hoped to get the attention of the generals defending the city, but I was afraid that he didn't care about the rank at all. Judging from the current situation, this son is indeed very powerful in war, and it is indeed worth cultivating! ”

With the cooperative relationship with Hu Biao, the military commander, who had been in constant bad news during this time, could occasionally send some comforting news to Lao Jiang. It was out of need and desire that Lao Jiang decided to promote Hu Biao to lieutenant colonel of the national army.

Even so, Dai Li didn't think there was anything unusual. If it was an officer who was regarded as a protégé by Lao Chiang, whoever could make such a dazzling record could be promoted to colonel or even major general. It's a pity that Hu Biao was just a big soldier earlier.

Thinking of the garrison troops trapped in Jinling at this moment, Lao Jiang was also very concerned and said: "Now that Jinling has fallen, does this son really dare to take risks alone?" Even if you get in, if you want to come out, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? ”

"Commission, this son is good at plotting with soldiers, since he dares to take the initiative to go to Jinling, he must have a plan! For the sake of safety, I suggest that I send another report to General Gui, so that he must listen to this son's advice! ”

"Good! Later, in my name, I will send a sealed telegram to Tan Zhen, and inform him of the previous military exploits. If we can bring out the troops trapped in Jinling, we will finally have a chance to compete with the Japanese army in the later stage! ”

Leaving Jinling and retreating to Wuhan the previous time, Lao Chiang counted on these descendants of the generals to compete for strength and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army with the fortifications built in Jinling in his early years. However, the progress of the battle situation disappointed Lao Chiang, and the rout of the troops was faster than imagined.

As the most important teaching corps under Lao Jiang, from the Battle of Songhu to the Battle of Jinling, the teaching corps has also made great achievements. If the teaching team can't break through smoothly this time, Lao Jiang is afraid that he will be very heartbroken.

It was Dai Li, who knew that Lao Jiang had begun to attach importance to Hu Biao, so much so that he agreed to telegraph again in the morning, and waited by the radio station in the morning. After receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, he immediately sent out the telegram that had been written long ago.

When Zhao Xian finished translating the telegram, he said with a happy face: "Battalion commander, congratulations!" Appointed personally, you have been promoted to lieutenant colonel! ”

"Lieutenant Colonel, it seems that Lao Jiang still attaches great importance to me! I hope that I, a lieutenant colonel, can make those generals look at me twice. I'm happier than this promotion order, and I'm glad that the Snow Shame Camp has been recognized. I, the battalion commander, finally live up to my name. ”

In the telegram sent by Dai Li, Lao Jiang had appointed Hu Biao as the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander of the Snow Shame Battalion. In fact, with the current size of the Snow Shame Battalion, it is not a big problem to form a regiment. The establishment of a reinforced battalion is not too outrageous!

Except for Hu Biao, who was promoted to the third level, the other company commanders of the Snow Shame Battalion were all promoted to one level. After Hu Biao reports the promotion list to the guard platoon with the most meritorious service, all officers and soldiers will be promoted and rewarded accordingly.

All in all, the telegram sent by Dai Li had a strong flavor of celebration. Those prisoners of war who would have become very embarrassed and were rescued by Hu Biao have turned into elite soldiers and strong generals that Lao Jiang valued.

Hu Biao, who sent many telegrams in a row and received many telegrams, stayed in the resting valley for half a day. After the rest was over, Hu Biao quickly said: "The reconnaissance squad will be on guard in front of the war, everyone will change into Japanese prisoners of war, and strive to rush to Jinling City before nightfall!" ”

Considering that the goal of entering Jinling City during the day was too big, Hu Biao finally decided to march during the day. At this time, you only need to be careful during the march, and your whereabouts should not be revealed. Unless they encounter Japanese soldiers on the road, no one will doubt their identity.

When Hu Biao led the guard platoon to speed up to Jinling, the generals of the troops responsible for guarding Jinling also began to embark on the road of escape. Even Gui Shuzhen (Yongqing), who received the telegram, was ready to leave Jinling as soon as possible.

But in the face of the telegram sent by Dai Li, Gui Shuzhen also hesitated and said: "What is this Director Dai doing?" Breaking through from the front, what the hell did he think? If the little devil is really so easy to deal with, how can we lose so quickly! ”

"General, what should I do about this? I have inquired before, Commander Wang of the 71st Army and Commander Shen of the 87th Division have both run away! ”

The adjutant who came to deliver the telegram was indeed worried about being blocked in the city by the little devils. As soon as the commander defending the city gave the order to retreat, many generals who ended the meeting began to run away, and some of them did not even notify the troops on the front line.

Such a retreat cannot be called a retreat at all, it is simply an escape. As a result, many of the troops who still insisted on blocking on the front line did not know that their immediate superiors had given up on them and ran away ahead of schedule.

As a general who was reused and trusted by Lao Jiang, Gui Shuo really knew very well that the teaching corps he commanded was the descendant of Lao Jiang's lineage. If this army is buried in Jinling City, even if he escapes to the rear, he will inevitably be punished.

The problem is that if you stay in the city and don't leave quickly, you may be blocked in the city by little devils at any time. When the time comes, how difficult will it be to lead your troops to fight their way out of the encirclement? If one is not good, he and his troops may be buried in Jinling City.

Listening to the adjutant's words, Gui Shuzhen sighed and said, "The trees are falling and scattered, and they are flying separately when the disaster comes." These guys, even if they escape safely to the rear, I believe that the commission will not spare them. Without troops, what's the use of going to the rear? ”

Military power was the most important in the war years, and as long as there were troops in hand, it could be valued by Lao Chiang. If you really want to destroy the troops under your command, even if you reorganize the troops in the rear, it will be difficult for those fleeing generals to be reused.

Staring at the telegram sent by the adjutant, Gui Shuzhen finally said: "Inform all regiments and prepare for retreat." Since the commissioner personally sent a telegram appointing me to collect the remnants of the army, then I will take a gamble and see how powerful this surnamed Hu is! ”

Seeing Dai Li's telegram, he clearly told him that someone would sneak into Jinling tonight. When the time comes, there will be military commanders lurking in Jinling who will bring Hu Biao to meet with him. And Hu Biao has troops outside the city, and he can meet the large army to break through.

Although Gui was really a little incredulous, he still felt that he couldn't retreat immediately like the other generals. The most important thing is that there are still troops under the command of the Teaching Corps, and they are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in the area of Purple Mountain.

At this time, he really couldn't do anything to abandon the troops and run away alone. What's more, Gui is really clear that in his command headquarters, there should be the eyes of the military commander. really offended Dai Li, and the consequences are also very serious!

As Lao Jiang's confidant, plus in charge of the intelligence system, Dai Li's weight in Lao Jiang's heart is self-evident. really offended this kind of person, and it was okay to take eye medicine in front of Lao Jiang, and it was enough for a general like Gui Tanzhen to drink a pot.

didn't know that because of his appearance, Hu Biao, who had already changed the situation in the defense of Jinling, came straight to Jinling City with the guard platoon very cautiously. To Hu Biao's surprise, he didn't encounter the little devil's alert troops along the way.

It can be seen that the Japanese army besieging Jinling at this moment paid all their attention to the capture of Jinling City. As a result, the rear of the Japanese army was indeed empty and terrible. If it weren't for the fact that he had too few troops at hand, Hu Biao really wanted to stab the little devil in the back.

When Hu Biao and his entourage finally arrived outside Jinling City, looking at the sound of guns and cannons still coming from afar, Hu Biao knew that there were still troops in the city. The other seemingly quiet areas are only afraid that they have been actually controlled by the Japanese army.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the troops to rest again, Hu Biao quickly said: "Zhao Xian, turn on the radio and contact the people in the city." Let's see that it's safer there, let's sneak into the city first, meet with General Gui and then think about the rest of the matter. ”

"Yes! I'll get in touch now! ”

As the radio station was set up again, Zhao Xian, who was constantly breathing the military radio station in the city, soon received the road map to enter the city from the city radio station, as well as the lurking personnel in the city, who would be picked up in the designated area at that time.

Even if the Japanese army is numerous, it is impossible to control all of Jinling Castle. What's more, at this moment, there are still anti-Japanese troops in Jinling City who are resisting stubbornly, and it will take some time for the Japanese army to control Jinling.

Seeing the road map sent by the military commanders in the city, Hu Biao carefully checked the map, and finally said: "Assemble, prepare to enter Jinling!" ”

It is very clear that if you want to sneak out of Jinling again, it should not be a big problem. But if you want to bring out the defenders and civilians who are blocked in the city, it is difficult to imagine. But for Hu Biao, as long as there is a slight opportunity, he will fight desperately!
