Chapter 382: Selection and Elimination

When Hu Biao took the officers and men for trial training to conduct the corresponding assessment and training, a new round of Wuhan Battle had already begun. The Japanese army, which had suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of Xuzhou earlier, gathered a larger number of main divisions in order to capture Wuhan.

Since the beginning of the war, the Japanese army has gradually felt the pressure of a protracted war. Even on various battlefields, they seem to have achieved good results. But the expected surrender and peace talks never seem to have happened.

The determination of the Nationalist government to resist to the end, as well as the patience of other anti-war forces, also exceeded the expectations of the Japanese army. The tactics of intimidation did not work, and the Japanese army could only adopt a strategy of continuous encroachment to compress the living space of the Nationalist Government.

The only thing that made the Japanese fortunate was that the European military powers seemed to be embroiled in a much larger war. In the short term, the Japanese army should not have to worry that those countries with interests in China will intervene in this war.

knew that Wuhan was extremely important to the Nationalist Government, and even after the fall of Jinling, it once became the companion capital of the Nationalist Government. In order to severely demoralize the military morale of the Nationalist government, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops in an attempt to capture the military town of Wuhan.

Compared with the earlier defense of Jinling, the Nationalist government at this moment also realized that it was basically impossible to keep Wuhan. In order to preserve the vitality of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government began to issue relocation orders and moved factories and some important institutions to the mountain city of Chongqing.

As the saying goes, 'Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky'!

The unique geographical environment of the mountain city also makes it a truly easy to defend and difficult to attack strategic rear. It was precisely because of this consideration that Lao Chiang dispatched troops to arrange the Battle of Wuhan and began to relocate his camp to the mountain city.

Looking at the first batch of traded drugs that arrived in Shancheng, Dai Li, who personally inspected them, was also very curious: "Where did you get these medicines?" During this time, is there any news about General Flying Fox? ”

"Report to the Bureau! The person in charge of the transaction, who delivered the medicine to the place of trading, quickly left. Our people followed for a while, but in the end they were lost. General Flying Fox is so relieved to sell us these medicines? ”

He was naturally relieved! We transferred these medicines directly from the bank, so he naturally didn't have to worry about not receiving the money. This guy, the front line is so lively, he really stays in the rear? Nothing will happen, right? ”

"Over there in Runzhou, I haven't heard of anything big happening. According to the information we have discovered, unidentified anti-Japanese guerrillas have appeared in the vicinity of many county towns in Runzhou. These guerrillas have nothing to do with northern Shaanxi. ”

Regarding Hu Biao's opening up of a guerrilla zone behind enemy lines, Dai Li naturally received some news. In Dai Li's view, this kind of trick seems to be similar to the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla attack behind enemy lines. But Dai Li felt that Hu Biao did not defect to the Eighth Route Army.

Although the military commander had received a secret report, Hu Biao was also trading drugs with the Eighth Route Army. But in Dai Li's opinion, this kind of thing is normal. As far as Hu Biao is concerned, when it comes to doing business, he often only values money, regardless of whether he is in the National Army or the Eighth Route Army.

Even, according to the news that Dai Li inquired, Hu Biao and Li Zongren also got on the line and sold a batch of drugs to Li Zongren. At present, a large part of the medicines purchased by the military are due to Hu Biao's supply.

What surprised Dai Li the most was the Aihua Company that Hu Biao set up in Shanghai, and the establishment of a very good personal relationship with those foreigners in the concession. These imported medicines were all provided to Hu Biao by those foreign businessmen.

And Hu Biao's smuggling channels have not been found out to this day. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Hu Biao has a lot of medicines in his hands. As long as he takes enough money, Hu Biao can provide enough imported medicine.

In fact, the batch of drugs that were traded to the military commander was also handed over to Liu Shixing by Hu Biao. Liu Shixing, who was born in the military command, knows very well how to deal with the military commander. The goods are delivered to the other party, and the money is transferred directly from foreign banks in Shanghai.

In this way, it also saves the situation of carrying a large amount of money and causing people to have bad intentions. As for snatching medicines from the hands of military commanders, I believe there are really few people who dare to do so. How difficult the military commander is, those generals know it.

Lin Yashi, who was waiting at the battalion headquarters to receive the telegram, looked at the secret telegram sent by Dai Li, and said with a smile after translating it: "This Director Dai seems to be very concerned about our every move. He probably wants us to go to the front! ”

"Sister Ya, do you want to send this telegram to the battalion commander?"

"Send a copy to the training camp. Before the assessment is over, I believe that the battalion commander will not go out! ”

During the period of returning to the mountains, Lin Yashi made some contact with Shanghai from time to time through the radio. As Hu Biao's woman and confidential staff officer, Lin Yashi still knows a lot about the situation of the troops.

Huang Xiu, who has been following Lin Yashi's side, finally chose to be a newspaper operator after returning to the mountains. In her opinion, although staying at the cave hospital is not risky, she still hopes to have the opportunity to go out more often in the future.

The most important thing is that she knows that Lin Yashi will return to Shanghai later, and once Hu Biao wants to go to the front again, she will definitely need confidential staff officers around her. Compared with looking for others, Huang Xiu felt that she should be able to help somewhat.

As for her younger brother Huang Quanshui, who came with her, he has now also joined the battalion headquarters communication platoon and has become an official member of the Snow Shame Battalion. During this time, I was participating in training with those recruits, and I would probably stay at the battalion headquarters in the future.

Not many people in the camp know about the identities of the two siblings. It's just that Huang Xiu follows Lin Yashi every day, and many people also know that Huang Xiu is also a person trusted by Hu Biao. It's just that I'm still a little curious about his identity.

You must know that the number of female soldiers in the Snow Shame Camp has reached more than 50 people. These girls who are about the same age as Huang Xiu, who don't want to have the opportunity to stay in the camp every day. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many such opportunities.

The only people who had the opportunity to stay in Hu Biao's barracks were Lin Yashi and Huang Xiu. Regarding Lin Yashi's identity, many officers in the battalion already know that in addition to being Hu Biao's confidential staff officer, Lin Yashi has also become Hu Biao's fiancΓ©e.

In view of this status, these officers will also be much more polite when they see Lin Yashi. What many officers admired was that even if Hu Biao confirmed the relationship with Lin Yashi, he still couldn't see the two staying together overnight at night.

It stands to reason that the two are at the age of blood and strength, and they can't wait to stick together every day. But back in the mountains, Hu Biao is busy every day. Even Lin Yashi, a confidential staff officer, has to stay next to the radio every day.

Usually, there is a telegram that needs Hu Biao's instructions, and Lin Yashi will also notify the guards to pass it on. As for Hu Biao's words, he spent most of his time in the assessment training ground. This kind of desperate work attitude of Saburo is also admired by many officers.

After half a month of assessment and selection, Hu Biao recruited 120 trial team members according to the points and the final interview. The rest of the players were unfortunately eliminated. The list was announced, and many fighters were convinced.

Looking at the selected officers and soldiers, Hu Biao also said sternly: "If you can pass the assessment, it doesn't mean that you can really join the special service company." In the next half month, I will personally lead you through intensive assault training.

During the assault training, if you make me not see the progress and hard work, then I will still knock you out. Joining the Secret Service Company is an honor and a responsibility, and as a commander, I am responsible for your lives.

If you fail to meet my requirements and still reluctantly let you join, you are not responsible for your lives and other officers and soldiers. In the spy company, there will never be a person who is indiscriminate! ”

After half a month of selection and assessment, these selected team members already know how far they are from qualified soldiers of the special service company. Now that they heard Hu Biao say this, they didn't feel anything wrong.

If you don't work hard in assault training and feel that you can relax your requirements if you have already been selected, then it is very likely that you will be eliminated. The selected team members were organized into four combat platoons, and Hu Biao appointed commanders respectively.

In the second company of the spy company, Qin Tianyou temporarily served as the company commander, and among the four platoon commanders appointed, Lei Xiong also got the position of a platoon commander. And the combat platoon under his command, Hu Biao decided to put him in charge of his old job, which was the firepower machine gun platoon of the special service company.

In addition to light and heavy machine guns, Hu Biao also provided four anti-aircraft machine guns and machine guns to the fire platoon commanded by Lei Xiong. Looking at these heavy firepower weapons, Lei Xiong also felt very satisfied, and did not feel that he had been demoted.

In fact, this firepower excluded the number of people not more than a company, and Lei Xiong was very satisfied with both the weapons and the quality of the soldiers. Commanding such a firepower platoon, Lei Xiong felt that when he encountered a squadron of little devils, he would dare to take the initiative to attack.

After reading out the temporary appointment list, Hu Biao signaled: "Company Commander Qin, let all the team members pack their luggage and weapons, and prepare to enter the secret camp to wait for training." Later, I'll come over and guide the training myself! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Seeing off these selected officers and soldiers, Hu Biao came to the eliminated team again, pointed to Xu Sandao beside him and said: "The selected team members will be personally responsible for me to carry out half a month of assault intensive training in the mountains."

Although you failed to pass the assessment and selection this time due to your own reasons, don't be too discouraged. In the next half month, Company Commander Xu will take his subordinates to give you half a month of assault training.

I hope that you can cherish this rare opportunity to bring the combat skills you learned in the training camp back to your respective companies and teach them to more soldiers. And you have to keep working hard to come back next time and pass the final assessment! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

It is a pity to be eliminated, but it is also extremely rare to accept Xu Sandao's guidance and training for half a month. Judging from the situation of this assessment, the fighters who were eliminated before were basically successfully selected this time.

This also means that being eliminated once is not terrible, and it is not too humiliating. As long as they are willing to work hard and continue to strengthen their training in all aspects, they will have a better chance of being selected for the next selection.

Perhaps, as Hu Biao said, as long as they are willing to work hard and do not give up hope, one day they will all be able to pass the assessment and become glorious soldiers of the special service company. And there is a chance to follow Hu Biao to fight in the south and in the north!
