Chapter 343 We must work harder
Originally, he planned to leave after gaining a foothold in Malingshan, but it was delayed for a few days due to the bursting of the Yellow River's embankment. In order to relieve as many victims as possible in the Yellow Flood Area, Hu Biao still made a lot of arrangements, hoping to save more lives.
Although the Nationalist Government and other anti-war forces or political groups have issued an initiative to help these victims. But Hu Biao knows in his heart that these are empty words, and the disaster relief materials that can really be implemented are only pitiful.
In contrast, Hu Biao never said empty words, but directly used actions to help those affected by the disaster. Relying on his own connections, Hu Biao asked the Eighth Route Army to work with the Fifth War Zone, which was not far from the Yellow Flood Area, to help as many victims as possible.
In addition, from the Runzhou detachment and the Zaozhuang detachment, some soldiers from the Yellow Flood area were selected to form corresponding disaster relief teams to enter the disaster area. In addition to providing relief to the victims, Hu Biao also asked them to form armed forces in the Yellow Flood Area.
In the order issued to these disaster relief teams, Hu Biao also said directly: "In the area where little devils are stationed, while saving the victims, don't forget to fight the little devils." In areas where there are no little devils stationed, we should also try to provide relief to the victims as much as possible.
If it is found that there are local defenders or the government who oppress or persecute the victims at such a time, then these defenders will attack the government, snatch the supplies from them, and distribute them to the people who have moved from their homes.
From among the ranks of the victims, select some young and strong people to expand the armed forces. For these young and strong family members, the captain who leads the team should also take care of them. As much as possible, we will guide those who have lost their homes to live in national control areas or safe areas. ”
The issuance of this order also surprised many team leaders. In the eyes of these squad leaders, it is a matter of course to snatch supplies from the hands of little devils to help the victims. But how can this kind of thing be chaotic in the national control area?
It's just that in Hu Biao's view, the more times like this, the more some people like to make a fortune and oppress those displaced innocent people. There are even some squires who are unkind to enrich themselves by accumulating wealth or selling grain at high prices.
For these people, Hu Biao's attitude is also very direct. Anyway, the disaster relief team that entered the yellow flood area was not allowed to play the banner of the team. That also means that even if you rob those landlords and attack those inactive defenders, you can't rely on Hu Biao.
As long as there is corresponding evidence, Hu Biao will be famous. Even if someone knew that those disaster relief teams were troops under Hu Biao's command, Hu Biao wanted to see who dared to question him. The high-level of the National Government knows exactly why these victims were affected.
In order to take into account the overall situation, Hu Biao will not pierce this secret news. But Hu Biao asked himself, he couldn't be as cold-blooded and ruthless as those high-level leaders. Since the government in the Yellow Flood Area is inactive, Hu Biao can only act on his behalf.
In such a troubled world, in the final analysis, whoever has a hard gun has the right to speak!
Knowing Hu Biao's decision, Liu Shixing and others also said with admiration: "Captain, this move is no less than the Buddha of ten thousand families!" ”
"Whether it's a Buddha or a demon, all I ask for is peace of mind! The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband. For those of us who fought against Japan, it is also our duty to protect our homes and defend the country. Fighting little devils is to defend the country, and relieving the victims is to protect the family! ”
What others think and think, Hu Biao won't pay much attention to it. Even if the Eighth Route Army invested so much money on Hu Biao, but let them do good deeds, they couldn't figure it out, and Hu Biao never explained anything.
For Hu Biao, traveling to this time and space and experiencing the bloody wind of the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Biao only hopes to kill fewer people and retain more vitality of the country and the nation. At least for this country, Hu Biao has always maintained a pure heart.
After arranging the relief of the victims, with Hu Minyi as the chief of staff and Qian Zhong as the deputy detachment leader, Hu Biao can also let go with peace of mind. During this time, with the cooperation of the two, the development momentum of the detachment was still very good.
The most important thing is that with the formation of militia escort teams in many villages and the cooperation of various combat companies, Hu Biao's control over the three counties around Maling Mountain has also been further strengthened, and the little devils can do nothing about it.
In view of the disaster relief situation, after seeing that the seized materials were enough for the detachment to use for a period of time, Hu Biao decided to leave. Before leaving, Hu Biao took Liu Shixing, the head of the intelligence team, with him, and advanced along the coast of Jiangsu Province to Shanghai.
This trip to Shanghai is also intended to make a second deal with Brooke. The goods entrusted to Bruker earlier have now arrived safely in Shanghai. All that's left to do is to get the supplies out of Shanghai.
The reason for bringing Liu Shixing is naturally to investigate the route and the county seat where the intelligence station was established in advance. With the establishment of the Malingshan base, Hu Biao also hoped to spread the intelligence network throughout the entire territory of the Soviet Province as soon as possible.
In that case, if it is necessary to mobilize personnel and materials at that time, it can also be transmitted and transported through various intelligence stations and bases. After listening to Hu Biao's layout, Liu Shixing also seemed quite surprised and excited.
Unexpectedly, Hu Biao has such great ambitions. Excited, he has the opportunity to become the commander of this huge intelligence organization. You know, it takes a lot of money to set up such a large intelligence network.
Fortunately, from the current point of view, Hu Biao does not seem to be bad for money. The funds given to Liu Shixing for control and processing are larger than those invested by the two detachments. Most of the trained intelligence officers are selected elites from the army.
Although their combat capability is not as good as that of the soldiers of the special service company, they have undergone professional training in intelligence reconnaissance and intelligence search. Even Hu Biao promised Liu Shixing that each intelligence team would be equipped with a radio station in the future.
If you want to do this, it is difficult to do it even if the current military commander is going to do it, and as for the Eighth Route Army, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to do it. Fortunately, Hu Biao also knows that the rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and the stalls in Suzhou Province should be spread out first, and there should be no shortage of money.
Moreover, with Hu Biao's cooperation with the military commanders, Li Zongren and the Eighth Route Army in drug trading, this business alone will bring Hu Biao a steady stream of income in the future. What's more, sometimes it can be captured from the battlefield.
At worst, Hu Biao can still do some arms trading with some people, which can be exchanged for money. Compared with funds, Hu Biao feels that talent has become the most difficult. Fortunately, when he went back this time, he had a group of credible people to use.
The comrades-in-arms who had been transferred from the lonely military camp in Shanghai were all sent to the Runzhou base in batches. After arriving there, those old comrades-in-arms underwent rigorous training.
Even as Hu Biao's old company commander, Lei Xiong did not have any pretensions as Hu Biao's commander after arriving at the Runzhou detachment, and still served as the company commander. And the team under its jurisdiction is the unit that has been replaced from the lonely military camp.
The training received was also the responsibility of the veterans of the guard platoon who remained in the Runzhou detachment. It can be said that Hu Biao's treatment of his comrades-in-arms who came out of the lonely army camp is also very generous. But Lei Xiong knew who the real commander of this force was.
As Hu Biao's old commander, Lei Xiong knew very well that their lonely military camp might be very respected by the people in Shanghai. But as far as the national government is concerned, I am afraid that many people have forgotten about them. If it weren't for Hu Biao, they would still be in a cage at the moment.
In the words of Lei Xiong to the soldiers of the lone barracks: "You should know who helped you to come here." Biaozi did not exchange you out to let you come out to enjoy happiness, but hoped that you could help him.
In the future, if you want to get a higher salary and take charge of more troops, you must work harder than others, and don't let others think that there is such a big gap between the people who come out of our lonely military camp. We can't afford to lose this face! ”
The veterans who were replaced, when they came out, Xie Jinyuan personally talked to them, and he also explained the situation very clearly. Although staying in a lonely camp is no different from going to prison, at least you don't have to worry about your life, those foreign devils will watch.
But the problem is, I don't know how long they need to be closed. Perhaps only when this war is over will they be released. However, judging from the current situation of the War of Resistance, the Nationalist Government seems to have been retreating steadily.
After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army, which was pursuing the anti-Japanese forces, had to stop the pursuit in view of the sudden bursting of the embankment and the diversion of the Yellow River. But at present, the main forces of many divisions and regiments are already preparing to attack Wuhan and launch a new round of battles.
Compared with the earlier decision of Lao Jiang to stick to Jinling, this time Lao Jiang decided to let the people and some factories leave Wuhan in advance. Even if he was camping, Lao Jiang also decided to move it to the mountain city. This also means that the national army has no confidence to hold Wuhan.
If this battle continues, no one knows whether the national army will retreat there in the future, or whether there will be no retreat. That also means that Xie Jinyuan and others, who are imprisoned in the concession, want to wait until the day of release and are still far away.
For officers and soldiers who are afraid of death or unwilling to continue on the battlefield, Xie Jinyuan will not forcibly order them to leave, but on the contrary, he still lets them continue to stay in the lonely army camp to accompany him. In that case, he still manages the troops for himself and trains the young people who come in.
Soldiers who choose to leave, although they can regain their freedom, still need to go to the battlefield and face unpredictable risks of war. But now that they have made their choice, as their commander, Lei Xiong also hopes that they will have more chances to live.
Receiving training as a veteran of the guard platoon, although it was very tiring and hard. But Lei Xiong still knew that the veterans of those guard platoons were all real battlefield elites. The combat skills taught are all skills that can save lives on the battlefield.
If you want to survive, you have to train hard. For Lei Xiong, he didn't want to live up to Hu Biao's trust. In the same way, he also wanted to see how famous this old subordinate could be after all.
Even Lei Xiong is looking forward to the day when Hu Biao will take their old brothers to counterattack Shanghai to eliminate the little devils stationed in Shanghai, and pick up their old chief Xie Jinyuan from the lonely army camp from the hands of foreign devils.
And this is also what Hu Biao promised, but Lei Xiong still feels that they should also do their part in this matter. After all, they are also part of the lone military camp, and isn't it also what they should do to let those comrades-in-arms and commanders regain their freedom?
