After eating a full meal, I received a reward before going to war. The morale of the hundreds of freed prisoners of war also became high. Even if many prisoners of war were worried about the coming battle, they knew that fear would not help at this time.

Now that they have chosen to stay, they must be mentally prepared to die at any time. Even when attacking the little devil barracks and the city guard post before, there were still prisoners of war who unfortunately died. And Hu Biao also asked people to register them.

He even sent people to the city to buy coffins for the fallen soldiers and buried them in the mountains outside the Juxian Formation. This practice still makes the prisoners of war who witnessed all this grateful.

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who led the troops out of the city, took the opportunity of burying the fallen soldiers to pull all the reorganized prisoners out of the city. Those who had chosen to leave left the other side of the city gate and embarked on a long escape.

Including the previous officers, Hu Biao gave food, clothes, and pistols for self-defense when he left, and gave an additional ten oceans. Seeing these things, the officers also felt that their faces were very hot.

I think they were really villains in vain before!

The most embarrassing thing for them was that from the mouths of other officers, they already knew about Hu Biao's cooperative relationship with the military commander. Even if they return to the rear safely, in the minds of their immediate superiors, they will also be regarded as deserters.

Facing an officer, he pleaded: "Captain Hu, we also want to fight devils with you, is it okay?" ”

"Sorry! You have made your choice before, so you must be responsible for your choice. If you really want to contribute to the war of resistance, then take these wounded and leave. We're up front to get you the attention of the little devils. ”

Hu Biao's refusal still frustrated the officers. Fortunately, Hu Biao asked them to escort the wounded away, which was also a chance to atone for their crimes. As long as the wounded are safely sent to the rear, they can still be regarded as meritorious in the war of resistance.

Zhao Xian, who was in charge of the radio station of the Snow Shame Camp, also handed over a note in due time: "After you leave the city, someone will meet you outside the city." At that time, the guide that Battalion Commander Hu found for you was also the informant of our military command, and he would take you away from the little devils! ”

Taking these lightly and seriously injured people on the road, Hu Biao felt that it would be more troublesome. Next, the speed of Hu Biao's entourage must be fast, and many times they have to jump out of the encirclement of the little devils before they form an encirclement.

Although Hu Biao could have chosen a relatively safe route, like these departing prisoners of war. But Hu Biao knew better that blindly retreating would only make the Snow Shame Camp look more embarrassed. Only by fighting can we wash away the shame.

Kill the little devils to wash away the shame, and prove to the peak that they are still anti-Japanese soldiers. Only in this way will the Snow Shame Battalion and the main force converge so that they will not be ostracized. You can even take this opportunity to get more attention.

After arranging the relevant matters of the retreat, Hu Biao and his entourage carried the coffins of the sacrificed prisoners of war and walked out of the county town very openly. The logistics support company commanded by Zhao Bing continued to stay in the city and waited for an hour before leaving the city.

The materials purchased earlier were on the soldiers' backs, and Hu Biao asked the soldiers to carry them on their own. Others that can't be brought are placed on three cars. And the collected oxen and wagons will be used to transport supplies.

The division of troops is also to confuse the reconnaissance of the little devils. At the end of the simple burial ceremony, looking at the solemn soldier, Hu Biao waved his hand and said, "Whole battalion, go!" ”

Although the military appearance does not look complete, most of the soldiers are wearing the military uniforms of little devils, and there are many soldiers wearing the uniforms of the national army in the middle. But the expressions on the faces of the soldiers were much more confident and serious than when they were rescued.

After walking along the official road for more than an hour, Hu Biao finally saw Xu Sandao who had left the city ahead of schedule. After listening to the other party's report, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "How long is the little devil away from us?" ”

"If we keep going, for another hour at most, we'll run head-on with the little devils. I had taken a look from afar, and the little devil was moving fast, and he was traveling lightly. ”

"Travel light! What about armament? ”

"It seems that there are a few mortars and heavy machine guns, and the other artillery pieces are not visible, so the number should be a squadron!"

"Good! I know! Come on, you go back now, and I'll bring someone later." Since the little devils are moving forward lightly, let's fight an ambush war, kill these little devils and then move on.

Go back, there must be a little devil's blocking force in front. If we let them fight in both directions, we're really in trouble. The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, kill this gang of little devils, let's go to Lincheng to rest tonight! ”

"Yes! On the way here, I saw a place nearby, which should be suitable for ambushes! ”

Hearing the news, Hu Biao immediately found Tian Sili, the commander of the first company, and said: "Inform the first company, run forward with tools." The rest of the troops, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, arrived later. Guard platoon, move with me! ”

"Yes!"

Outside the city, Hu Biao and his entourage followed Xu Sandao and soon came to a valley pass. After carefully scouting the terrain, Hu Biao felt that this place was suitable for ambushes, but it was also easy for little devils to discover.

After thinking about it carefully, Hu Biao finally said: "Lao Tian, let the soldiers dig the trenches immediately, and we will fight the little devils here." If we don't destroy these little devils who come to help, we will run there when we go to that little devil! ”

"Yes!"

Along the mountain beams on both sides of the road, Tian Sili quickly divided his soldiers into two groups and dug trenches on the mountain beams. Although the trenches dug in this way were not very strong, they had some defensive capabilities.

Of course, if you want to withstand the bombardment of aircraft artillery, you will definitely not be able to do it. Fortunately, they are behind the little devils, and the little devils who come to the aid have mortars but no heavy artillery, and the trenches dug are still very useful.

Before leaving the city, Hu Biao specially asked Tian Sili to buy a lot of excavation tools in the city. With these digging tools, the fighters dug trenches very quickly. Along the trench line drawn by Hu Biao, more than 100 soldiers immediately set their hands to work.

When Xu Mingzhi brought the other two companies over, Hu Biao called him aside alone and said, "This place is suitable for ambushes, and the little devil will definitely be worried when he comes." Therefore, I plan to take the guard platoon and go to the front to fight the little devils. ”

"You want to lure the little devil over?"

"No need to quote! If the little devil wants to support Juxian, he is bound to take this road. I took the guards to platoon over and shot cold shots to delay time. You should still have time to disguise the excavated fortifications a little.

As long as the little devils feel that we are delaying their march by shooting cold, they will definitely speed up. In that case, we have a better chance of ambushing them. If we really have to fight hard, even if we win, we will lose a lot! ”

"Otherwise, you are here to command, and I will take the guard platoon to carry out the lure mission, how about it?"

"That's it! You are also the operational staff officer of the regiment headquarters, and you should be better than me in arranging troops. After digging the trench, remember to cut some branches from the back hill to cover the soil piled in front of the trench, so that the little devils don't see through it at a glance.

Wait, if you hear gunshots, remember to remind the soldiers that they must wait for the little devil to enter the ambush circle before shooting. We put all the light and heavy machine guns we captured in the second line of positions and formed a concentrated fire attack.

In that case, I believe that the first round of attacks will be able to greatly damage the living power of the little devil. If we're lucky, maybe in less than half an hour, we'll be able to completely annihilate this squadron of little devils who came to help. ”

briefly explained his own combat deployment, and the specific implementation will depend on Xu Mingzhi. After the assignment, the three companies took turns digging fortifications, going to the back mountain to cut branches and dig turf, preparing to camouflage the trenches.

And Hu Biao led the guard platoon, intending to give the little devil a head-on blow. If you can eliminate more little devils, the ambush battle will be easier to fight later. In Hu Biao's plan, this squadron of little devils must be completely annihilated.

Only in this way can we ensure that the whereabouts of the team will not be leaked in a short time. In this era, the most advanced form of communication was to send messages over long distances through radio. If you don't have a radio station, you often have to rely on people to deliver your message.

If he can completely annihilate this little devil who came to help, Hu Biao can quickly march to Lin Cheng before the little devil can react, and take down the empty Lin Cheng at the moment. Rest there for the night before deciding on the next route of the march.

As long as the little devil does not mobilize the main force from the front line to return to the division to clear the eradication, with the existing strength in Hu Biao's hands, he will fight hard with the little devil's squadron, and the certainty of victory is still not small. Recovering a few more county seats, the little devils are bound to panic.

The worst thing is that by eliminating the little devils in several surrounding counties, Hu Biao can also cut off the rear transportation and supply lines of the little devils. Without the supplies transported from the rear, the main force of the little devils fighting on the front line is bound to be greatly affected!
