Hu Biao was also slightly relieved to gather the officers who had been rescued from the prisoner of war camp and set up a temporary battalion-level command structure in the city guard. According to the latest news sent by the military commander, the Japanese troops closest to Juxian have poured out.

This reinforcement force, which consisted of a squadron, was also responsible for the security control of a county town, just like the Japanese army in Juxian County, which was eliminated. In terms of armament, there is not much difference from the equipment of the Japanese squadron in Juxian.

In addition, several counties near Juxian County have begun to take action. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army sent reinforcements all the way to Ju County, and the Japanese troops stationed in the surrounding counties began to set up guards outside the city.

Looking at it like this, it seems that the Japanese army also intends to completely wipe out Hu Biao and his party in Ju County. As for the Japanese troops who were fighting fiercely on the front line, no movement was found. Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese army, the attack on Juxian was also purely accidental.

It is only necessary to send nearby city defense troops to carry out the clearance, and there is no need to use the main forces on the front line. After reading the information that came from the military command one after another, Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little unconvinced.

muttered inwardly: "Judging from the intelligence, the little devil shouldn't take the lost county seriously." It seems that it is necessary to make a bigger movement and let the little devil know what it feels like to toss Sun Monkey in his stomach! ”

Judging from the overall situation on the battlefield, the Japanese army really did not need to pay too much attention to Hu Biao and his party. Although the Japanese army is still unclear, what happened to Juxian. Judging from the reports of the cities, no trace of the large forces of the national army was found.

This also means that the troops attacking the county guard post in Juxian may also be routed or mutinied. In view of the unclear situation, the commander of the Japanese army, who was responsible for maintaining stability in the rear, decided to send a squadron of Japanese troops to Juxian to find out the situation.

If it is true that the rout army is causing chaos in the city and finally takes the opportunity to capture Juxian, which is guarded by only one squadron, then the squadron that comes to support must crush or even completely annihilate this resistance force.

If Juxian County was lost due to the popular uprising, then the Japanese troops who came to help must execute the people who participated in the civil uprising. As far as the Japanese commanders at that time were concerned, they knew that they were not cruel and could not deter the people in the occupied areas in the rear.

With the temporarily appointed battalion and company-level commander, Hu Biao soon came to the barracks where the meal was being served. Except for a small number of troops patrolling the city, the vast majority of the rescued prisoners of war were now staying in the barracks to eat.

Seeing Hu Biao and his entourage walking into the barracks, the prisoners of war who had just experienced a battle also looked very excited. Coupled with Hu Biao's order, everyone ate this meal openly, and the prisoners of war who had not eaten for a long time naturally had a good meal.

Facing the prisoners of war who got up from time to time to say hello, Hu Biao also said politely: "Hello! Just let go of the food, just don't break it! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Sit down and keep eating! A month ago, I was a big soldier like you. Everyone hurry up to eat, and after eating, we will prepare to go. Eat enough this time, and wait for the next battle to have strength! ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the prisoners of war stood up to say hello and squatted down again to continue eating, Hu Biao could also hear the prisoners of war begin to talk in private. Many prisoners of war still seem somewhat confused about what to do next.

The vast majority of these prisoners of war held in Juxian were not locals. From being pulled into the battlefield to being held by the Japanese army, the soldiers were not clear about the situation around them. Even if they wanted to escape, they didn't know where they should go.

But there are still prisoners of war who feel that they have finally picked up a life, and they don't want to go to the battlefield to fight with the little devils again. If possible, they also plan to find an opportunity to become deserters, disguise themselves as ordinary people and secretly hide, and then find a chance to return to their hometown.

Hu Biao, who knew this, was not too anxious. called Xu Sandao and others to his side, and then quietly made some arrangements. At the previous officer meeting, Xu Sandao had been appointed by Hu Biao as the commander of the guard platoon.

As for the deputy platoon commander, Hu Minyi, whom Xu Sandao admires more, is the one. The four squad leaders of the guard platoon were Qin Tianyou, Chen Qiang, Xu Cheng, and Du Dajiang. Huang Erzhuan followed Tian Tiezhu and temporarily served as Hu Biao's personal guard.

The rest of Sun Erxi served as the communication battalion of the Snow Shame Camp. The eight people who came out with Hu Biao at the beginning all followed Hu Biao without exception. As for the selection of personnel in the guard platoon, Hu Biao was handed over to Xu Sandao and others.

On the way to the barracks earlier, Hu Biao explained to Xu Sandao: "The guard platoon, the number is tentatively set at forty, and these forty people are selected by you in the whole battalion. If you can't pick enough, then leave it empty for the time being, don't be in a hurry.

When we really join up with the main force in the future, I will only take with me those who are willing to go with us in the guard platoon. You all have to remember that the present positions are temporary. These soldiers who are under command now will also need to be transferred to command in the future.

Only those who are selected into the guard platoon are the ones we really need to woo. Those fighters with good marksmanship and skills can be recruited first. If they don't want to, we don't force it, you know? ”

"Got it! It's a private person to expand our team, that's what it means, right? ”

"That's right! Fighting behind enemy lines, the nine of us alone are not enough. Therefore, we also need to recruit some like-minded people. These people must be trustworthy in character, and their pistol skills must be good, and they must not be a drag on the team.

In short, remember what I emphasized to you before, in the future, the members of our team must have the strength to be ten. Strength and character are indispensable. I value character more than strength, you know? ”

"Understood! Rest assured! After two successful rescues of prisoners of war, those soldiers admired us. Especially the captains, they all think you are a hero. I believe they will be happy to be there for you. ”

"Don't take me for a hero! The real heroes are those unsung heroes who died on the battlefield and sacrificed their lives for the country. We just need to do our duty as soldiers, and the title of hero can be given to whoever wants it, we are not rare! Shoot the first bird, you know? ”

Low-key is king!

Hu Biao felt that there was some truth in this. You can be a low-key person, but you must be high-profile in doing things. Even if he makes a name for himself behind enemy lines in the future, Hu Biao will put the credit on the team, not on the individual.

After eating with the newly appointed officers, Hu Biao found a separate time, called Tian Sili to his side and said, "I need to reorganize the troops later, and the people you brought before are still under your command."

During the reorganization, you will lead people to take over the city defense and maintain law and order on the streets. There is another thing that you need to do yourself. Buy all the clothes and fabrics from the garment shops in the city, and buy more bacon and poultry.

You can buy some of the supplies that the troops can use and reserve them. In the later battle, it should be more difficult for us to replenish, so it will be better to buy more things to prepare. The money is spent from the money we have seized.

Tell your subordinates not to do anything like buying and selling. If possible, tell the people in the city that once we leave, they'd better take refuge in the countryside. When the little devil returns to the city, he will definitely retaliate. ”

"Please rest assured that the battalion commander will complete the mission! Whoever dares to mess around, I will be the first to spare him! ”

Knowing that Hu Biao gave him this kind of task is also a kind of trust in him. Tian Sili also understood that if he wanted to return to the rear alive, still keep his current position, and even receive awards for meritorious service, he must rely on Hu Biao.

From the ability to command operations to the strength of personal combat, Tian Sili is ashamed of himself. The most important thing is that Hu Biao proved with practical actions that he does have a set of fighting little devils, and secondly, he is very kind!

If you fight with this kind of person, at least you don't have to worry about being betrayed. Moreover, Hu Biao did not appoint him as the deputy battalion commander, but let him serve as the company commander of the first company. Even if the other two companies are reorganized, their strength will not be comparable to him.

After handing over the matter of raising materials and the aftermath to Tian Sili in charge, Hu Biao called Xu Sandao to his side. Let him bring some people from the guard platoon, and then ask Tian Sili to transfer a platoon of soldiers to go out of the city in advance to reconnoiter the terrain.

In Hu Biao's view, in order to get rid of the pursuit of the little devils, it is necessary to deal with the Japanese reinforcements that will arrive in Juxian County soon. A squadron of Japanese troops, Hu Biao felt that if he arranged them well, he should be able to wipe them all out.

Destroying this Japanese army that came to help, and the county town where this Japanese army was stationed was tantamount to opening the door like Hu Biao. What is left for Hu Biao to do is to take this fictitious county seat, take the opportunity to replenish it, and even replenish some troops.

Judging from the information sent by the military commanders, most of the officers and soldiers of the War of Resistance who were fighting on the front line were imprisoned in the county towns in the rear. The little devils stationed in the county town also served as the guards of the prisoner of war camp for the time being.

According to the plan of the Japanese army, it is estimated that they want to wait for the fighting on the front line to calm down, and then find a way to rebel against these prisoners of war. Those who returned to obedience would be reorganized into the Imperial Allied Army and cooperate with the Japanese army to control the area. Those who do not return act as coolies to squeeze surplus value.

If more prisoners of war can be rescued, then Hu Biao will be able to form a resistance force in the rear that the Japanese army has to suppress. In this way, it may be possible to force the Japanese army to send troops from the front line to return to clear the siege and relieve the pressure on the troops guarding the city of Nanjing!
