Chapter 385: The Town Meets Again

Before deciding to lead his troops to participate in the Battle of Wuhan, Hu Biao formulated a corresponding marching route. With the war briefing provided by the military commander as a reference, Hu Biao also knew what the current situation of the war was and would not lead the troops into an extremely dangerous area.

If Hu Biao had an elite army of tens of thousands of people, perhaps he would pick a Japanese division to attack. The problem is that even if this emergency selection is carried out, with the addition of the original special company, the number of troops on the expedition is less than 300 people.

Although the selected combat team members were all elites, Hu Biao had no choice but to escape when he really ran into a division of the Japanese army. Even if he encounters an elite unit at the brigade level of the Japanese army, Hu Biao needs to be extra cautious.

Although Hu Biao has always stressed that the officers and men who join the task force must have the ability to serve as ten. But Hu Biao knew in his heart that if he really arrived on the battlefield and fought a positional war, it would be good if the task force could block a Japanese wing.

Excessive self-confidence is arrogance. finally trained this elite, Hu Biao was really reluctant to die with the little devil. Therefore, this time he led his troops to participate in the battle, and Hu Biao still decided to lead his troops to annihilate the enemy behind enemy lines or on the flanks.

A supply line similar to the little devil's supply, or the supply center of the little devil in the rear, will become the target of Hu Biao's attack. As Hu Biao emphasized, if the task force does not make a move, it will only be enough, and once it does, it must deliver a fatal blow.

At the end of the mobilization, it was still the special company under the command of Xu Sandao to take the lead, preparing to cross the Yangtze River and enter the territory of Anhui Province along the direction of Jinling. From the territory of Anhui Province, find another opportunity to go to the battlefield in Wuhan. Along the way, many places have become occupied areas.

This also meant that the marching task force had to pass through a number of counties occupied by the Japanese army. In the absence of a guide, Hu Biao had to send out the most elite reconnaissance platoon of the task force to open a safe passage for the subsequent march of the large force.

When he arrived outside Jinling City, Hu Biao, who led his troops on a rapid march all night, quickly arranged for two combat companies to rest. On the other hand, he himself took a few henchmen to a small town outside Jinling City that didn't look too lively.

Even if he didn't sleep all night, Hu Biao still didn't seem to be sleepy. For Hu Biao, once he enters the combat state, his spirit will be in a relatively high state. I came to the town to meet an old friend.

Looking at Xu Sandao, who had arrived in the town in advance, Hu Biao also smiled and said, "Hard work!" Lao Chen, have they arrived? ”

"It's here! Director Chen and his entourage came with five or six people, several of whom were hanging out outside the restaurant. There is a squad of devils in the town, and there are many puppet soldiers. It seems that the security is very strict, but the investigation is still relatively lax. ”

"Hmmm! Wait a minute, I'll go to the hotel with the pillar, and you will take someone to guard the town and outside the town. If there is anything abnormal, shoot directly to warn. Although the little devil has just occupied Jinling for a long time, the little devil should still be very wary of Director Chen and his people! ”

The battle on the intelligence front is sometimes more dangerous and brutal than the frontal battlefield. Due to time constraints, Hu Biao asked Chen Gongshu to meet in the town. If you go into the city, it will take more time and be more exposed.

Although Liu Shixing had set up an intelligence station in Jinling City before, he had already set up an intelligence station for the Snow Shame Camp and arranged several elite intelligence officers. But compared with the Japanese army's special high school and military command, the intelligence system of the Snow Shame Battalion is still too weak.

The main job of the current intelligence station is to monitor the movements of Japanese troops in Jinling City. After occupying the whole city of Jinling, the Japanese army also attached great importance to the capital of Jinling, and the number of elite troops of the Japanese army stationed in it was still quite large.

In addition to the work of defending Jinling City, these garrison troops will often receive the encirclement and suppression work of supporting the garrisons of surrounding cities. The main operation of this unit is to ensure the security and stability of the Jinling area.

Even if the main force of the Nationalist army has retreated to the other side of the Yangtze River, it will take more defensive positions against the Japanese army. But the little devils still know that without enough troops, it will be difficult for them to control Jinling and the surrounding counties.

As aggressors, no matter how much the Japanese army whitewashed the peace and put on a show, they could not change their essence as aggressors. Although some people choose to take refuge in them, the people living in Jinling City and the people of Su Province have no good impression of the little devils.

Even if Hu Biao was in Jinling City, relying on the presidential palace to teach the little devil a profound lesson. But in the defense of Jinling, there were still many soldiers killed by the national army, and there were many innocent people who were slaughtered by the little devils.

This kind of blood feud is not something that can be forgotten by little devils with some propaganda. Now no one in Jinling City dares to resist, more because of the fear of the Japanese army. Without these troops stationed in Jinling, the little devil would never have survived the next day in Jinling.

Compared with the Jinling Defense War, the entire Jinling perimeter was in chaos. Now that the war is over, the situation around Jinling has gradually stabilized. Even if you can hear some sporadic gunfire from time to time, most of them can't make any big waves.

The agreed meeting place this time is not too far from Jinling City, and Chen Gongshu, who left the city early in the morning, is also very interested in Hu Biao's appointment. For him, the experience of working together in the defense of Jinling made him have a deep memory of Hu Biao.

Coupled with some of the news relayed by Dai Li, Chen Gongshu also knows the importance of Hu Biao to the military command now. As the head of the operations department of the military commander stationed in Jinling, although Chen Gongshu's power is not small, he is afraid that his ability is not as good as Hu Biao.

Especially in the drug transaction that was just completed last time, the Jinling Action Team also made a little effort, and Chen Gongshu was also a little light. But he knows better that compared with the importance of the Jinling Intelligence Station, the Shanghai Military Command Intelligence Station now has a closer relationship with Hu Biao.

Although he couldn't guess why Hu Biao made an appointment with him, Chen Gongshu still wanted to have more contact with Hu Biao. Compared with others, Chen Gongshu knew that the anti-Japanese war armed forces operating in Runzhou were Hu Biao's descendants.

Nowadays, guerrillas have appeared behind enemy lines in several counties throughout Runzhou. Although it is rare to hear of these guerrillas attacking county seats, the little devils stationed in these county towns have suffered a lot at the hands of the guerrillas.

Being able to develop such an armed force behind enemy lines under the noses of little devils, Chen Gongshu still admires it. In fact, the Nationalist Army also admired the guerrilla warfare of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, but they tried to carry it out in the south, but they were repeatedly defeated.

At present, the most well-known activity behind enemy lines in the south is undoubtedly the New Fourth Army operating in Anhui Province. It is a pity that for this growing anti-Japanese armed force, Lao Chiang and the military commanders are more vigilant.

Compared with the rise of the New Fourth Army behind enemy lines in the south, Chen Gongshu and the military commanders were more willing to see Hu Biao's power grow and develop. In their eyes, although Hu Biao is a little greedy for money, he is still a trusted ally of the military commander.

In the future, if the military commanders are operating in the enemy-occupied areas controlled by Hu Biao, if there is really any trouble, they can also seek Hu Biao's support and help. As the director of the Jinling Military Command Operations Department, Chen Gongshu felt that this ally could be used completely.

Under the heart of Chen Gongshu who stayed in the restaurant and waited, he raised his hand to look at his watch from time to time and said: "Shopkeeper, it's so late, the guests we have made an appointment have not yet arrived, will something happen?" I heard that this town is not very peaceful, right? ”

Going out and pretending to be a passing merchant is undoubtedly the least suspicious. As the situation gradually stabilized, many merchants were still engaged in their own business around the city of Jinling.

For these businessmen, the war seemed to have nothing to do with them. There's business, there's money, there's a place for them. Although the Japanese army will impose control over these businessmen, it will not arbitrarily suppress them.

Because the little devil also knows that if he wants to maintain the status of Jinling, the capital city, he must rely on the activity of these merchants. If all the merchants are really killed, then this Jinling City will also become a dead city. For some supplies, the Japanese army also relied on merchants for supplies.

Moreover, as commerce prospered, so did the amount of taxes that the Japanese army could collect. Although the little devil also knows that these businessmen will report the news to the national army or military commanders from time to time. Sometimes, however, these businessmen would also give them news of the national army.

In the final analysis, the Japanese army did not exclude the profession of a businessman. If there is no evidence, the little devils will not arbitrarily arrest those businessmen who come to Jinling to do business. Because of this, disguised as a merchant is even less suspicious.

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Chen Gongshu said very calmly: "People come from afar, and it must take more time than us." In this world, not only is the town not peaceful, but other places are not peaceful, and it is normal to delay some time. ”

Even if there are no customers in the restaurant, Chen Gongshu will not reveal too much news when chatting with his henchmen. As an intelligence officer, we all know the truth that if you say too much, you will lose. There are so many merchants coming and going in this restaurant, who can guarantee that there are no spies among these people?

Just as Chen Gongshu continued to drink tea and wait, the shopkeeper who was standing at the door of the restaurant looked at Hu Biao who was walking towards the restaurant, and stepped forward enthusiastically and said, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

"I just came to Guibaodi, and I plan to have a meal and meet a friend. Is there a table in the store? ”

"It's nature! Guest officer, please! ”

After bending down and raising his hand to lead Hu Biao into the restaurant, as soon as Hu Biao entered the door, he saw Chen Gongshu and his subordinates sitting in the corner of the restaurant. Just when the shopkeeper was about to open the table for Hu Biao, Hu Biao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, don't bother!" ”

Just when the shopkeeper felt surprised, Hu Biao had already apologized to Chen Gongshu and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" There was a little mistake on the road, and I delayed the time, and I am really sorry to wait for you for a long time! ”

Seeing that Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu knew each other, the shopkeeper didn't say anything. Fortunately, Hu Biao was also very generous, took out a piece of ocean from his body and said: "Shopkeeper, come with a few specialty dishes, and two pots of good wine, send them to this table, no problem, right?" ”

Looking at the ocean handed over, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem!" The guest officer will wait for a while, and the good wine and food will be purchased for you immediately! What else do you have to say? ”

"It's gone! If you need anything, I'll call you later! ”

"Okay!"

After thanking him and leaving, Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu also sat together with a smile. The other guests in the restaurant didn't seem to pay much attention to this kind of meeting of old friends. After all, Hu Biao and Chen Gongshu's style is no different from businessmen!
