Chapter Seventy-Two: The Behavior of a Loser?
In Hu Biao's vision, in the future, he and his team will be active in the south for more time. Anhua Hill is located between Runzhou City and Nanjing City, and its strategic location is very suitable for hiding and even resting and resupplying.
This time, the Snow Shame Camp was pulled to Anhua Mountain, firstly, to accommodate this unit that had just been rescued from the prisoner of war camp, and secondly, to let them build a base in the mountains for themselves. In Hu Biao's view, this kind of base area plays a very big role.
The so-called 'three holes of cunning rabbits', if you want to fight the little devils in the occupied area, you must change your territory frequently. Similar to this 'secret camp' in the mountains, Hu Biao also plans to have the opportunity to build a few more. With the team like that, you won't be afraid to go there.
Since it was decided to use Anhua Mountain as the first 'secret camp' stronghold he established behind enemy lines, Hu Biao definitely needs to find out the situation around Anhua Mountain. After the 'secret camp' is built, they will walk on the front foot, and let people copy the nest on the back foot!
As Hu Biao guessed, although Anhua Mountain is located near the city of Nanjing. However, because of the high mountains and dense forests, there have been bandits in recent years. With their familiarity with the mountain, many bandits are also doing business in the mountains.
When the other troops were resting, Hu Biao sent the guard platoon out to find out the situation around the mountains and forests. Including the vicinity of the mountains and forests, how many villages are inhabited by the people. The second most important thing is the banditry situation in the neighborhood.
After listening to Xu Sandao's report, Hu Biao also smiled and said: "It seems that the troops are resting in the mountains, and they don't have anything to do." If we don't wipe out these bandits who are familiar with the situation in the mountains and forests, it's really not safe for us to stay in the mountains! ”
I know that the little devils treat the rebels in the mountains, and they also like to find the leading party when they are cleared. If those bandits are not cleared out or co-opted, then the Snow Shame Camp stays in the mountains, and it is very likely that it will be attacked by little devils.
Also listening to Xu Sandao's situation report, Xu Mingzhi also said in a timely manner: "Battalion commander, is our next job to suppress bandits?" ”
"Don't be too anxious about the banditry for the time being. As soon as the troops entered the mountains, the most important thing was to do a good job of defensive deployment, and secondly, they also needed to adapt to it for a while. Second, large units also have more important combat missions, and the suppression of bandits can be released first.
Sandao, you go down and rest first, and I will send you a new mission later. During this time, I can only work hard for you and the brothers of the guard platoon. With a little more experience, it's not a bad thing after all, and I'll call you later if something happens. ”
"Yes, Captain! It's nothing, then I'll go down and rest first. ”
"Good! Remember to eat something and then rest! Before you go, I'll let you know. ”
It is known that the guard platoon enjoys the most preferential treatment and undertakes the heaviest combat missions. Compared with other troops who can rest and recuperate when they enter the mountains, the guard platoon is constantly scouting for information. Even so, the guards platoon fighters did not seem to complain.
After the battle between Juxian and Lin Cheng, the soldiers of the guard platoon felt honored and proud. The soldiers of the other combat companies were all looking forward to the day when they would be transferred to the guard platoon. And the fighters of the guard platoon, naturally, do not want to be delegated to the company.
Being trusted and reused by Hu Biao is enough to show that the guard platoon is Hu Biao's real descendant. Moreover, with Xu Sandao, a veteran team member, many soldiers of the guard platoon are eager to have the opportunity to learn a few more tricks from Hu Biao to save their lives on the battlefield!
The combat sign language used by Hu Biao, Xu Sandao and others before alone has made many soldiers very interested. They know very well that by learning this combat sign language, they will be able to quietly solve the enemy when they are fighting.
After confirming the camp, Hu Biao also asked each company to send soldiers to start setting up tents and digging drainage canals. In addition, trenches were dug halfway up the hill near the camp and all the perimeter guards of the camp were built.
According to the topography of this valley, Hu Biao stationed four combat companies on both sides of the valley, with the battalion headquarters and the logistics company in the center. In this way, each company can be regarded as having its own territory, and it can protect the security of both sides of the battalion headquarters.
As for the access to and from the valley, most of the terrain is relatively difficult. If you want to attack the valley, it will be extremely difficult to attack from which side. Without paying a heavy price, it is believed that it will be difficult for the intruders to attack the valley.
According to Hu Biao's special explanation, the temporary tent must be integrated with the surrounding scenery. After many tents were set up, Hu Biao told the soldiers to cut some branches and put them on them as a camouflage to prevent the aerial reconnaissance of the little devils.
After Hu Biao's explanation and assignment of tasks, the companies that had already eaten and rested for a few hours also quickly took action. If they want to sleep in the built barracks at night, then they have to work hard to get the improvised barracks up before dark.
While the companies were starting to set up tents, Hu Biao stared at the hanging map and said, "Lao Xu, I will take people out of the mountain at night to take a stroll on the nearby railway line." If I have the chance, I'm going to make a big deal.
According to the information sent by the military intelligence station stationed in Runzhou City, the little devil is ready to use the railway to deliver supplies to the front-line troops. If we can rob a military train loaded with supplies, then we should have food and clothing in a short time.
When the supplies are sufficient, you will lead the troops in the mountains for training according to my previous instructions. Take the brothers in the camp and familiarize yourself with the situation around the camp and in the mountains. If the situation changes, we can respond sooner. ”
"Battalion commander, the little devil's military column, there should be troops to escort you, right?"
"It doesn't matter! I didn't expect the little devil's military column to stop, on the contrary, I planned to take it together with the supplies and escort troops. In addition, I will blow up this railway, so that the little devils will completely lose the opportunity to use the railway to send troops and supplies. ”
"Bomb the railroad? In doing so, I'm afraid that Shangfeng will have opinions, right? ”
As a major officer, Xu Mingzhi is well aware of the importance that the government attaches to the railway. It's easy to blow up a railway, but if you want to rebuild it, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources. In the eyes of many people, bombing the railroad is a prodigal act.
As a result, Hu Biao said very directly: "According to the information provided by the military intelligence station, after the little devil occupied Runzhou City, he directly used sea power to transport a large number of war materials to the port and wharf of Runzhou City.
and then loaded the supplies and transported them to the front line, this railway undoubtedly accelerated the speed of sending troops and transporting supplies for the little devils. As it stands, we want to take back control of the railways, do you think it's possible?
Besides, the capital is about to be occupied by the little devils, so do you have the railroad for the little devils? We don't need it anyway, so we might as well blow it up! If you really want to get rid of the little devils, you can just fix it when the time comes. We can't control this kind of thing.
As far as I'm concerned, as long as I can fight the little devils, I will use every opportunity and do whatever it takes. After blowing up the railway, you send your troops out to blow up the bridges of several roads near Anhua Mountain.
Anyway, the cars we seized are estimated to be rarely used in the future. Troops and battles are all on two legs, and they can walk any way. And what about the little devils? Without railways and highways, they want to pursue quickly, but I'm afraid it's hard to do it, right? ”
Bombing the railway, although there are some losers. But in Hu Biao's view, this 'family' is not the master of the state now. Once Nanjing falls, the little devils will become the masters of the south, and the railways and highways will become the means of transportation for its invasion.
Only by completely destroying it can we curb the advance speed of the little devils and give the national army on the front line preparing to carry out blocking and counterattacking more time to retreat and rest and prepare for war. At this point, the Northern Eighth Route Army did a good job.
Since the Eighth Route Army entered the anti-Japanese battlefield behind enemy lines in the north, the little devil's railway was bombed at both ends in three days. Even the 'Hundred Regiment War' implemented in the later period completely paralyzed the little devil's railway line, making its idea of opening up the north-south transportation line completely ruined.
What Hu Biao is doing now is also thinking about the future. Compared with building railways, Hu Biao believes that it is easier to blow up railways. If possible, Hu Biao would rather completely turn the southern battlefield into a battlefield where only walking is allowed, so that the little devils will not be able to live in peace.
After listening to Hu Biao's explanation, Xu Mingzhi thought about it and felt that it made sense, and then said: "Okay!" You just have to make up your mind! It's really exciting to rob a little devil's military train, and it's quite exciting to think about! ”
Bombing the railway and robbing the army train was a preset combat plan for Hu Biao to lead the Xuesha Battalion into Anhua Mountain. At this moment, the place where the troops are stationed is less than fifty miles away from the nearest railway line.
The whole battalion was dispatched to the railway line in advance to lay an ambush, and as soon as the military train appeared, the railway was immediately blown up, causing the military train to deviate from the track. In that case, the Japanese troops who were in charge of escorting them on the train would definitely not be able to get any benefit.
When the little devils fall dizzy, the Snow Shame Camp will rush up again, and they can also eliminate these troops escorting the car at the lowest cost. And before the arrival of the little devil reinforcements, all the materials loaded on the military column were emptied.
As for when the little devil's military column will depart, Zhao Xian, who has already set up the radio station, has also been waiting for the news from the Runzhou City Intelligence Station. Once the news is confirmed, Hu Biao will lead the Snow Shame Camp to make another meritorious feat on the railway line!
