After determining the battle plan and marching route, the guard platoon that had eaten lunch quietly left the city under the leadership of Xu Sandao and Hu Minyi. According to Hu Biao's orders, they need to set up multiple guard and lurk posts along the way.

By the time the evening had begun to depart, these guard posts had been withdrawn. This has only one purpose, that is, to ensure that the troops will not be attacked by the little devils when they are marching. Even if the little devil appears, he can react in time.

Looking at the guard platoons that were all dressed in civilian clothes and leaving the city one after another, Xu Mingzhi, as the deputy battalion commander, also said in a timely manner: "Battalion commander, after the troops enter the mountain, you will leave, right?" Are you coming back? ”

After two days of contact, Xu Mingzhi has found that Hu Biao is not keen on being an official. There are many things in the Snow Shame Camp, and Hu Biao rarely asks about them. More often, Hu Biao is only the decision-maker, and the person who implements the decision is Xu Mingzhi.

In addition, Hu Biao has always emphasized that he will leave after the Snow Shame Battalion joins the large army. This shows even more that Hu Biao did not want to lead this rescued army at all. But Xu Mingzhi knew very well that he, the deputy battalion commander, did not have the prestige of Hu Biao.

Facing Xu Mingzhi's inquiry, Hu Biao was stunned and said with a smile: "As long as I live, I will definitely come back!" Old Xu, my personality is not suitable for commanding too many troops. For me, I prefer to be on the battlefield and charge and kill the enemy.

If I hadn't made you safely to the rear, I wouldn't have left. As for the future of the Snow Shame Camp, I can't guarantee it now. But I believe that as long as we play a dazzling enough performance, I will apply to the upper peak not to disband this unit.

At worst, it is necessary to ensure that the brothers serve in the same army. Although the name of the Snow Shame Camp is not good, it has really made outstanding achievements, and I believe that Shangfeng will also consider it. And I'm not good at positional warfare with little devils.

Although we haven't been together for long, I know that you are also a pure officer, not like those who like to drink the blood of soldiers. I can rest assured that I will hand over this force to you. The future is long, and there will always be a chance for us to join forces again. ”

Looking at Hu Biao, who had a sincere expression, said this, Xu Mingzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You really look up to me!" As far as the stain of my captives is concerned, once the troops return to the rear, I am afraid that the troops from above will be handed over to me at all. ”

"Old Xu, you forgot, now I am the supreme commander of this unit. As long as I refuse to let go, who would dare to snatch food from Lao Tzu's mouth? We are not even afraid of death, are we still afraid of those guys who are greedy for money and power?

What's more, don't forget, many of you, even if you return to the rear, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the old army. In these battles, many divisions have all been fought out. It is rare to pull up such a force, and Shangfeng will also consider it.

At worst, I will talk to the military commander at that time. If you can't talk about cages, then I'll find you a piece of land, and we'll do it alone. As long as there are guns to get supplies, we are not afraid to go there. Think about the Eighth Route Army in the north, aren't they the same? ”

There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy made us! This is what the Eighth Route Army has been propagating and doing. Even if Lao Jiang did not give the Eighth Route Army many names, many people knew about the expansion of the Eighth Route Army in the north.

The Eighth Route Army can survive on the battlefield behind enemy lines in the north, and in the south, which is richer than the north, Hu Biao really doesn't believe that it will not be able to feed a force that sincerely resists the war. really Hu Biao, he didn't mind joining forces with the New Fourth Army at that time.

For Hu Biao, who was a man of two lifetimes, he knew very well who the government in charge of the future Celestial Empire would be. In the south, the strength of the national army was indeed greater than that of the Eighth Route Army. However, the armed operations behind enemy lines in the south have always been inferior to the Eighth Route Army in the north.

Originally, after the fall of Nanjing, Lao Jiang also considered learning from the Eighth Route Army and sent some troops to disperse behind enemy lines to persist in the War of Resistance. It is a pity that these so-called anti-Japanese guerrillas cannot even survive behind enemy lines, let alone fight.

Even some stragglers are brave, often under the banner of resisting Japan, but they are doing bandit activities such as raiding homes and robbing houses. In the face of such an anti-Japanese team, how could the people in the occupied areas really support it? Not telling the truth is already considered merciful.

In Hu Biao's view, the two main anti-Japanese forces in the north and south, which were also fighting guerrillas, were very different. Perhaps in the later anti-Japanese war film 'Bright Sword', Li Yunlong's discourse at the Military Academy gave the answer.

Any army has its own traditions, what are the traditions?

Tradition is a character, a temperament. This tradition and character was determined by the character and temperament of the first military chief when the unit was formed, who injected the soul into the unit.

Since then, no matter how many years have passed or personnel have changed, the soul of this unit will always remain. From the southern Jiangxi Soviet region to the northern Shaanxi Soviet region, the Red Army has always adhered to the combat mode of defeating the strong with the weak, and strengthened itself step by step by striking at the enemy.

Guerrilla warfare itself was the magic weapon of the Eighth Route Army, and everyone from the commanders of the troops to the ordinary soldiers knew how to fight guerrilla warfare. On the other hand, what about the national army in the south? In large corps operations, defense and blocking may be what they are good at.

Even how to deal with ordinary people is something that many commanders of the national army are not good at. If you can't get along with the people in the guerrilla areas, how can you get the support of the people in the guerrilla areas? The people's soldiers, it is useless to just shout slogans.

Only through practical actions can the common people truly feel the close relationship between the troops and themselves, and perhaps they will sincerely cooperate with the troops. Nowadays, how many of the anti-Japanese forces of the national army in the south can get along with the people?

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Xu Mingzhi could only smile bitterly. From Hu Biao's tone, Xu Mingzhi could somewhat hear that Hu Biao did not pay attention to the Snow Shame Camp. On the contrary, Hu Biao knew exactly what he should do.

A person who dared to talk about the Eighth Route Army in the far north in the ranks of the national army shows how bold Hu Biao is. Even if the two parties are united in the war of resistance at the moment, as a major officer, Xu Mingzhi knows very well that this kind of alliance is still fighting separately.

It can be said that if it weren't for the all-out invasion of the little devils, I was afraid that the main force of the national army would still find a way to encircle and suppress the growing Red Army in northern Shaanxi. Stopping the civil war and joining forces to resist the war is more forced by the situation.

It's just that in the national army, if there is an officer who dares to have a favorable impression or support for the Eighth Route Army, then waiting for the fate of this officer is very likely to be investigated. Even the lightest treatment was transferred to the cold yamen to sit on the cold bench.

It is not difficult to hear from Hu Biao's tone that Hu Biao does think differently from many officers. But Xu Mingzhi must admit that if Hu Biao can make great achievements, the generals above will look up to Hu Biao.

In the final analysis, in the face of the current grim situation of the Japanese invasion, the generals above hope that there will be some commanders under their command who dare to fight and are good at fighting. And Hu Biao's losses in these two battles were very small, but the results were not small.

If it weren't for Hu Biao's insistence, I am afraid that the military command would have announced to the outside world that they had recovered the county town occupied by the Japanese army. It's a pity that the bigwigs, including the military commanders, know that this kind of recovery is more only temporary.

In the face of the capture of Shanghai, the Japanese army is now heavily gathered in Soviet Province. It would be wishful thinking for a force of less than 1,000 men and composed entirely of prisoners of war to control two county towns. The slightest mistake can wipe out this force.

Fortunately, after listening to Hu Biao's words, Xu Mingzhi no longer thought about anything. Perhaps, as Hu Biao said, the only thing he has to do now is to pick up the burden of the Snow Shame Camp when Hu Biao is not there.

As long as he has a prominent record, even if he has been a prisoner, I believe that he will be added and reused by the above. Thinking about this, Xu Mingzhi didn't say anything more, and diligently completed the tasks assigned by Hu Biao.

With the help of a rare rest time, Hu Biao invested a large amount of seized money and asked the people in the city to make thousands of food bags. Even cloth shoes and other daily necessities were also purchased, which made the people of Lincheng also make a small profit.

According to the marching order issued in advance, the second company that had eaten well was completed, and the company commander Sun Wei also saluted solemnly: "Report to the battalion commander, the second company has been assembled, it should be one hundred and sixty-five people, but it is one hundred and sixty-five, please instruct!" ”

"Please take a break!"

"It's all there, take a break!"

"Brothers, as the vanguard, you have the greatest responsibility. And tonight's marching task is also very heavy, I hope the big guy can persevere. When we get to a safe place, we will have a good rest for two more days, can we persevere? ”

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

"Good! If there are too many, I won't say anything, and when I get to the assembly area, I will add food! Holiday! Let's go! ”

With the second company setting off in advance, I watched these soldiers who carried personal combat weapons and carried a lot of dry food and bedding leave the city. Many of the people who witnessed the company leaving the city also knew that the troops, who had occupied Lincheng for a day and a night, were about to leave.

During this day, the people of Lincheng also deeply remembered the number of this army. The Snow Shame Battalion, a strange army that sounds weird, but it does not harm the common people, it is willing to spend money when it has money in its pocket, and it is fair to buy and sell.
