Chapter 36 Layer-by-Layer Selection

Compared with the previous air defense drills in which there was only thunder and no rain, Hu Biao returned to personally organize the air defense drills, which finally made the people in Xilong feel the pressure. I finally understood that the county government built those air-raid shelters can indeed be used to save lives.

Although the people were a little curious, why did the little devil's plane bomb a barren mountain outside the city if the house was not bombed. But the previous gunfire still made the surrounding people realize that the consequences of encountering a little devil bombardment would be very serious.

Fortunately, the exercise was a drill after all, and after two days everything seemed to be calm again. But with this experience, the next time I hear the air raid siren, I believe that the people in Shillong will seize the time to hide in the air-raid shelter.

And this is exactly the result that Hu Biao wants to see!

With the arrival of the first batch of purchased machinery and equipment in Shillong, the factories that Qin Tianyou and others have selected earlier have officially entered the stage of production and operation. Some materials that previously needed to be purchased can now be produced directly.

The river valley hydropower station, which has completed preliminary exploration, has also officially entered the state of construction. If all goes well, Shillong may become one of the few counties in the southwest with electricity. With an adequate supply of electricity, all construction will be accelerated.

In order to reserve more military talents, Hu Biao's first batch of machinery and equipment purchased also had a rifle and bullet production line. Subordinate factories were also established in some valleys of Shillong, and were guarded by troops on the periphery.

As long as the corresponding secrecy work is done, Hu Biao believes that this arsenal built in the southwest will not be known in a short time. When the first batch of self-made weapons and equipment units are used, the strength of the combat units under Hu Biao's command will be improved again.

Knowing that there was not much time left for him to prepare, Hu Biao also accelerated his deployment in the southwest. Elite troops drawn from the interior, together with a small number of recruits who had completed their training, began to enter the areas controlled by Tusi one after another.

In the colonies controlled by Britain and France, there were still a large number of Tusi tribes. In order to maintain the long-term peace and stability of the colonies, the colonial governments of Britain and France also gave these Tusi certain rights to maintain their colonial rule.

But Hu Biao knows very well that at this moment, many Tusi ethnic groups migrated from Huaxia in the early days. Although they have lived in these places for a long time, they still dare not forget the ancestor of Huaxia.

Through the infiltration of the intelligence department, Hu Biao has secretly established corresponding military camps among these Tusi ethnic groups. Under the banner of rebellion against the colonial government, he began to expand his influence in the villages of various Tusi tribes.

In addition to secretly deploying these military camps, Hu Biao also dealt with the colonial government on the surface, opening shops in the county capitals controlled by Britain and France. Use these shops to make friends with those who have the right to reach out to more local poor people.

The combination of light and dark infiltration also helped Hu Biao control the turmoil of the colony. In the name of the rebels, they constantly encroached on the military power of the colonial government and expanded their influence and control in the colonies.

Sitting in Xilong to arrange the implementation of various plans and deployments, Hu Biao did not forget to pay attention to the war situation in Soviet Province. As Hu Biao expected, the Nationalist Government, which had not fought for more than half a year, seemed to have begun to secretly suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army again.

In addition, the Japanese army also intensified its attack on the armed forces behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army in North China. After receiving these latest information, Hu Biao was also silent for a long time. Although he didn't want to see this happen, he was still powerless to stop it.

Perhaps deep down, from the moment he decided to retreat to the southwest, Hu Biao wanted to escape these things. It's a pity that Hu Biao can only shelter those who follow him at the moment. There are many other things that he wants to do, but he is powerless.

After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Biao finally said: "Send a report to the Malingshan base and ask Xu Cheng to deliver another batch of medicines to the Eighth Route Army." Secondly, half of the weapons and ammunition stored in Zaozhuang were taken out and given to the Qilu column, remember to keep it secret! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Compared with the foreign aid power of the Nationalist Government, the Eighth Route Army that moved to Yan'an was still living a very shabby life. As a soldier of the people who came to later generations, Hu Biao knew very well that Huaxia really needed change, and the Eighth Route Army did need more support.

As Hu Biao moved his forces to the southwest one after another, the Gui family, which had been trading with Hu Biao before, could still get a certain amount of medicines. In terms of military command, it is also one of the few forces that still maintains a cooperative relationship with Hu Biao.

On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which had been developing behind enemy lines, cooperated with Hu Biao, and drug trading became an extremely important channel for its capital and exchange of materials. Hu Biao, who knew this, also intended to give the Eighth Route Army more drug procurement quotas.

Engaging in friction in private, Hu Biao is powerless to intervene. But the Japanese army once again gathered heavy troops and prepared to launch a new round of offensive campaigns, but Hu Biao could not sit idly by. As long as there is a chance, Hu Biao will find an opportunity to give the little devil a hard blow.

After receiving the telegram from the Anhua Mountain camp, Hu Biao once again summoned Qin Tianyou and the others: "The little devil has begun to gather heavy troops again, and he should plan to attack Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province, and the surrounding places, I plan to take this opportunity to go back and have a look."

Although Sandao has established a land passage, there are still some problems with this passage, and the speed of transferring personnel and troops is still a little slow. This time, I plan to set up more temporary settlements and supply points.

Second, the expanded recruit unit also needs more baptism in actual combat. We can't participate in the battle of the large corps, so it's still no problem to fight a strategy or an ambush. It can not only train the troops, but also capture some supplies.

Not surprisingly, it is very likely that the Japanese army will carry out a two-front operation. I plan to go back to the south first, and then bring back the troops who have experienced actual combat, and have a good fight with the little devils in the southwest. This side is still in charge of you! ”

"Yes! It's just a wolf's head, how long are you going to stay when you go back this time? ”

"The timing is uncertain! When he will come back, it also depends on when the little devil will attack Longzhou. Once the Japanese attack, I will return as fast as I can. During this time, don't relax your vigilance, and you can't stop training troops! ”

"Yes!"

Knowing that since Hu Biao decided to leave, it was useless to say more. With Hu Biao in charge, Qin Tianyou, Zhu Chengzong and others can indeed save a lot of trouble. But they all knew that Hu Biao couldn't stay on Shillong's side all the time.

For Qin Tianyou and the others, they only need to take care of Hu Biao's home and carry out the orders given by Hu Biao to the letter, and they may not be able to help with other things. At this point, Qin Tianyou and the others had long been conscious.

Considering that the southwest side is also very important, the two task forces brought by Hu Biao earlier will keep one in Xilong, and the rest of the combat team members will return with Hu Biao. Accompanying it, there was also a company of reserves.

After arriving in the southwest, Hu Biao screened the reserve members of two companies from the relocated commandos. One of the companies stayed in Shillong and handed over to Qin Tianyou for follow-up training. The other was trained by Hu Biao himself.

At present, in the sequence of combat units under Hu Biao's command, the village-level guards are regarded as militia reserves, and the guerrillas are regular troops. Enter the guerrilla team to participate in the selection, and those who have excellent results in various fields will become more elite commandos.

In fact, the commando is also a reconnaissance unit, and the combat skills it can master are similar to those of the reconnaissance troops of later generations. As for the task force, it is the unit that all commandos aspire to. The toughness of the task force is well known to many officers leading the troops.

But in the task force, many combat team members know that in the future, Hu Biao will also form a real killer force, that is, the so-called special forces. This kind of layer-by-layer selection can also enable officers and men to maintain a positive training and combat attitude.

Correspondingly, for each rank of officers and soldiers who are promoted, the monthly military salary they receive will also be increased accordingly. There are many capable people, which is also emphasized by Hu Biao. Add to this the so-called battle bonus, and the higher the level of the troops, the more they receive.

Still the same as the previous time, Hu Biao did not let anyone see him off, and quietly led the troops to leave from Xilong. Considering that the overland march would take longer, Hu Biao still chose to take a ship and bring the accompanying troops back to Shanghai in batches.

Although the Japanese army strengthened the coastal blockade, passenger ships and cargo ships of various countries that could fly foreign flags were still able to pass normally. It's just that these cargo ships, if they want to dock at ports controlled by the Japanese army, must be checked by the Japanese army.

Under such circumstances, if the materials purchased by the Nationalist Government from overseas want to be transported to coastal ports, they must be prepared to be seized at any time. Only by relying on foreign ports and then arriving at the national control area by land will the difficulty of material transportation naturally increase several times.

When the passenger ferry arrived at the Shanghai wharf, the guards who had all changed their clothes were left to protect Hu Biao. The rest of the guards, mixed in with the crowd leaving the port, were ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Looking at Sun Erxi, who had been waiting for a long time, Hu Biao, who had not stayed at the dock, quickly got into the car and said, "Why did you come here in person?" This kind of thing, can't you just let your subordinates do it? You're not afraid of being targeted by little devils? ”

As the person in charge of the operation left in Shanghai, Sun Erxi also led a large number of action team members. Under the command of Sun Erxi, the action team has already made a name for itself in Shanghai. But many people still don't know Sun Erxi's true identity.

From beginning to end, Sun Erxi hid behind the scenes to direct and plan operations. The Japanese army's special high school, which has suffered repeated losses, has not been able to discover the existence of Sun Erxi so far. Many assassinations and assassinations were mistakenly attributed to military commanders.

In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, Sun Erxi, who was used to hiding in the dark, rarely showed a smile and said: "Except for our old brothers, there are few people in Shanghai who know me. A little person like me, no one will pay attention! ”

"Don't be careless! The ability of the little devil to find out information cannot be underestimated! You know, the job you are doing now, once your identity is revealed, it means that your life will be in danger. I don't want anything to happen to you! ”

"Understood! I'll keep an eye out for it in the future! ”

As the first old subordinate to follow Hu Biao, Sun Erxi also knew how much Hu Biao attached importance to them. The sacrifice of Huang Erzhuan before has already made Hu Biao feel guilty, if they have an accident again, I am afraid that Hu Biao will be even more sad and sad!
