As night fell, the atmosphere in the camp of the two armies, which had been fiercely fighting during the day, was completely different. Before entering the mountain, the Japanese troops who stayed in the camp were full of confidence, looking forward to the news of the victory brought by the encirclement and suppression troops into the mountain, adding another victory to the infantry wing.

But as the side that was encircled and suppressed, the atmosphere of the snow shame camp during the day was solemn, whether it was the soldiers who went to the position to participate in the defense, or the soldiers who stayed in the reserve to serve as the remaining and reserve forces, most of them were worried, worried that the little devils would break the camp at any time.

It's just that with the end of the battle, in the Japanese camp at this time, except for the screams and grief of the wounded soldiers from time to time in the wounded barracks, the rest of the living little devils felt depressed. The fiasco during the day has already severely damaged the morale of the entire wing.

On the other hand, at the garrison of the Snow Shame Camp, you can see elated soldiers everywhere. The cook, who was in charge of providing the meal, handed the beef sticks stacked next to him to the soldiers who came to eat with a smile.

He didn't forget to say, "Brother, your head and biscuits!" Great work today! ”

"You are also happy! Thank you! ”

The soldiers who received the picks and biscuits were also happy in their hearts when they won the battle, and they also felt warm in their hearts when they heard the greetings of these cooking soldiers. In peacetime in the army, what they look down on the most is these soldiers who are in charge of food.

But after today's battle, many soldiers know that the meals sent to the battlefield are made by these cooking soldiers. Rice was served with hot soup and beef with a dish, and the soldiers ate it with a mouthful of oil.

In addition, when assigning troops earlier, Hu Biao had already emphasized that although the division of labor was different, they all contributed to the War of Resistance. To win this war against encirclement and suppression, many soldiers already know that the work of these cooks is not easy.

Without the efforts of these cooks, how could they have eaten those fragrant meals on the battlefield?

Xu Mingzhi, who was standing by and watching this scene, said with emotion in his heart: "Battalion commander, I'm really convinced!" In just a few days, the entire unit was reborn. Your ability to lead and train troops is truly amazing! ”

"Lao Xu, I can't stand what you say! Our battalion can have today, it should be the result of the joint efforts of the big guys. Speaking of which, you should have been in the camp longer than I am. If you want to talk about the credit, you are the first credit! ”

"Battalion commander, don't praise me! I have a few pounds and a few taels, and I know it very well in my heart. Since the formation of the Snow Shame Camp, although you have rarely stayed in the station, your contribution and credit have been the greatest. How could we have survived without you working hard outside? ”

"It's serious! Let's continue to praise each other like this, so that the soldiers are afraid that they will laugh at us, and we will boast about ourselves! Let's go, let's have dinner too, and while we are eating, we will discuss tonight's battle plan again. ”

For Xu Mingzhi's compliment, Hu Biao didn't think it was a big deal. If you want to say who has the greatest credit for the formation of the Snow Shame Battalion, it is naturally Hu Biao, who is the battalion commander. But this kind of credit is what Hu Biao should do in his opinion.

As a member of the Anti-Japanese War Army, Hu Biao naturally hopes that the more soldiers and troops who dare to fight and fight with the little devils, the better. With limited strength, Hu Biao can't affect the overall battle situation, and it's worth being happy to be able to influence some people around him.

can think of Jinling City, which is less than 100 miles away from Anhua Mountain at this moment, Hu Biao has never been happy. According to the information sent by the military commander earlier, all the positions on the periphery of Jinling were broken, and the generals defending the city also made the decision to retreat.

This also means that in order to rescue more anti-Japanese troops and people in the city, Hu Biao must also set off to Jinling as soon as possible. It's just that before going to Jinling, Hu Biao must find a way to defeat the infantry wing stationed outside the mountain as soon as possible.

If he did not defeat this infantry wing that was ordered to encircle and suppress, Hu Biao would not be able to rush to Jinling with confidence. Although Hu Biao knew that with his own strength, even if he pulled the entire guard platoon, he might not be able to turn things around. But there are some things he must do!

As the old saying goes, 'Saving a life, it is better to build a seventh-level floating slaughter', knowing what will happen next in Jinling City, Hu Biao really can't sit idly by. This time in Jinling, Hu Biao just wants to do his part, if he can save one more person, then there will be one less soul!

The most important thing is that according to the information sent by the military commander, the teaching corps, which is still stationed in Jinling at this moment, is ready to break through. It's just that the commander of the teaching corps did not believe that Hu Biao was capable of receiving them to break through.

In order to convince the commander of the teaching corps, Hu Biao must show sincerity and show ability. If they could win the cooperation of this force, Hu Biao felt that even if Jinling fell, they would be able to save more innocent lives.

But Hu Biao also knew that when the rest of the troops were defeated, a force suddenly emerged to break through to the death, and the Japanese army besieging Jinling was bound to send heavy troops to surround and intercept it. If you want to successfully break out, the probability of success is slim!

But there is one thing that Hu Biao is also very sure of, if the teaching troops can gather more troops defending the city, they can contain the attention of the little devils. Then the people who are still staying in Jinling at this moment will be able to win more time and opportunities to escape.

As a soldier, there is nothing wrong with dying on the battlefield. can give the people in the city more time and opportunity to escape, Hu Biao feels that it is worth taking a risk. What's more, at this moment, there is already a problem with the supply of materials for the Japanese siege troops.

If you don't seize this opportunity to fight once, how can Hu Biao be willing? Perhaps in the eyes of others, Hu Biao, as a traverser, has the advantage of foresight. But in person, Hu Biao would rather not know about these upcoming tragedies.

As the saying goes, 'not knowing is bliss', many troubles in life come from 'knowing'. If he didn't know what might happen in Jinling City next, Hu Biao could stay behind enemy lines and lead the Snow Shame Battalion to attack the little devils with guerrilla warfare.

As a soldier of the Republic in later generations, even if it is an ordinary citizen of the Republic, who does not know the human tragedy that will be painfully remembered by the Chinese nation? Maybe Hu Biao can pretend not to know, but Hu Biao knows very well that he can't do this kind of self-deception!

The battalion and company commanders who gathered together for dinner again had no different food from the soldiers, the only difference was that each of them was given a small two taels of liquor. And this liquor was naturally provided by Hu Biao, and all the company commanders felt very satisfied.

Although it is not advisable to drink alcohol during the battle, as a veteran oilman, Hu Biao knows very well that officers who have won battles like to drink two sips. In Hu Biao's view, as long as you don't get drunk, it doesn't hurt to drink some wine.

In the final analysis, the situation of the Snow Shame Camp is different from that of other anti-Japanese forces. Today was a big victory, and it was necessary for him to reward his company commanders. Each combat company was given an extra bottle of one-pound liquor.

The company commander can drink one or two more, and the other platoon commanders will share a bottle, as long as they don't get drunk. For these soldiers who were killed on the battlefield, spirits were sometimes more popular than money, and they were even happier as a reward.

Taking advantage of the meal, Hu Biao, who had read the statistical report, also said in a timely manner: "In the previous cleaning of the battlefield, the troops buried a total of more than 1,500 corpses of little devils. Together with the injured little devils, it is estimated that there are nearly two thousand people.

I didn't make specific statistics on weapons and ammunition, and all of them were handed over to the logistics company for safekeeping. The seized loot, except for a small number of devils' personal belongings, actually didn't have much value. There were several tables, and later each company commander received one.

Considering that the brothers have worked hard for a day, when you finish eating, you will return to the companies and let the soldiers rest as soon as possible. Time is limited, so we must attack the little devil station outside the mountain before dawn and completely defeat it. ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

"In order to ensure the safety of the camp, each company of the troops that went out to fight in the mountains this time selected one platoon, and the logistics company only sent one platoon to fight, and the rest of the troops all stayed in the camp to take care of the wounded left in the camp while taking care of their families.

After dawn, more than 200 brothers who had been rescued from Runzhou City entered the mountain. By then, the camp would still be able to maintain a strength of nearly 500 men. The troops left behind in the camp have only one task, that is, to take good care of their homes and guard our base areas. ”

Just as Zhao Bing, the commander of the logistics company, was about to speak, Hu Biao continued: "Zhao Bing! ”

"Here!"

"I know what you're trying to say! But this time, I'm still handing over the housekeeping task to you. Don't complain to me about anything, you should know how important the task of housekeeping is. If our nest is raided by the little devils, the brothers will have no way back.

The new troops of the Snow Shame Battalion will be under your command at that time. Don't bully them, and don't let them behave as they want. It's still the same sentence, if you don't obey the order, then let them get out, we don't collect waste in the Snow Shame Camp, you know? ”

"Yes, battalion commander! I promise to take care of this home for my brothers! ”

Although he really wanted to go out to fight, Hu Biao said everything about this, and he entrusted him with the task of taking care of the house, which only his cronies could undertake, which was also a kind of trust in him. This kind of trust also made Zhao Bing feel a great responsibility.

"For troops who go out to fight in the mountains, priority is given to soldiers with good physical fitness, and soldiers whose bodies have not yet fully recovered will be left behind to continue to recuperate. During the period when the troops are out, the food supply is still the same as before, and no deductions are allowed!

One platoon was assigned to stay behind, and the remaining three platoons received combat materials according to one machine gun squad, two rifle squads, and one material squad. If you have ammo, you don't need to carry too much. Later in the battle, I believe that we will capture one after another.

Each company formed an artillery squad and received four mortars, the infantry guns were too bulky for us to carry, and the grenadiers could be brought a few more, and the power of that thing was not bad. The logistics platoon is still responsible for transporting food and ammunition. ”

According to Hu Biao's previous reorganization, each combat company had an establishment of four combat platoons. Now keep one platoon to stay, and the strength of each company can still reach more than 100 people. Equipped with machine guns, mortars and grenadiers, the firepower is not inferior to that of a Japanese squadron.

During the time he went out to fight, Hu Biao felt that there should be new troops to join. When the time comes, the companies can be expanded at any time. This time, only Hu Biao and the guard platoon were ready to enter Jinling, and the rest of the combat companies were on standby on the periphery to respond.

At present, the little devils have captured the outer positions of Jinling, and I believe that there should be many soldiers of the national army who have fled around Jinling. If these defeated soldiers of the national army can be reined in, Hu Biao believes that the troops of the Snow Shame Battalion will only fight more and more!
