With the fall of the city guard occupied by the Japanese army, Hu Biao and his entourage, who arrived in the small city early in the morning, can finally breathe a sigh of relief. In order to avoid leaking the news in advance, Hu Biao still ordered the whole city to be blocked.

The sentries arranged to be on duty at the city gate were still wearing the military uniform of a little devil. But if the people in the city want to go out of the city, they will still be blocked. If anyone wants to enter the city, the sentry will check and confirm that there is no problem and will let them go.

It's just that these people who have entered the city, if they want to go out of the city, they have to wait until after Hu Biao and his party leave. Allowing to enter but not to leave is the urban defense policy issued by Hu Biao. Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao also ordered someone to hurry up and prepare a meal.

Whether it was the prisoners of war who were rescued last night or the prisoners of war who were rescued early this morning, most of them had some problems with their physical strength. During the days they were held in the prisoner of war camps, these prisoners of war were basically not fed, and they could only eat enough to sustain consumption every day.

Now that he has turned over to be the master, Hu Biao doesn't mind opening the little devil's warehouse and letting people make more white-flour steamed buns and cook more vegetables with oil and water. Anyway, they won't be in the city for long, and there are too many supplies to take them all with them.

Looking at the list of materials sent to him after the statistics, Hu Biao, who convened the officers for a meeting, said with a little regret: "Judging from the number of weapons seized, we can't do one shot per person for the time being, which is really a pity!" ”

Listening to what Hu Biao said, Tian Sili said with a smile: "Captain Hu, this is already very good. Combined with the weapons and ammunition seized in the town the previous time, we now have more than 400 rifles alone.

In addition, there are quite a few light and heavy machine guns, and with a little reorganization, it should be possible to form a reinforced battalion. The rest of the people who have no weapons for the time being just let them join the logistics unit, responsible for transporting supplies and making meals. ”

What surprised Tian Sili was that after listening to what he said, Hu Biao shook his head and said, "Brother Tian, can you guarantee that these brothers are willing to go with us?" You shouldn't have forgotten about the town, right?

Although we have escaped for the time being, we are still in danger, and the main force of the little devils is not far from us. Coupled with the nearby city defense troops, they should be on their way, and our next road is still not easy to walk! ”

Compared with Tian Sili's optimistic attitude, Hu Biao did not dare to be careless. Having just rescued hundreds of prisoners of war, Hu Biao needs to think about their lives. The slightest mistake could lead to the burial of all prisoners of war at the hands of the little devils.

Even if Hu Biao knew that if these prisoners of war were not rescued, the fate that awaited them would be worse than death. But at this moment, the prisoners of war are at least alive and well. Since he rescued them, Hu Biao had to make sure they survived as much as possible.

When these words fell, the expressions of the officers who were invited to the meeting were somewhat solemn. As officers, they knew better than soldiers that if they wanted to withdraw safely to the rear, they would have to go through several bloody battles.

Major Staff Officer Xu Mingzhi, who was born in the 103rd Division of the Guizhou Army, also spoke: "Captain Hu, this time I am fortunate to be rescued by you and get out of the cage, and we all owe you our lives." How to fight this battle in the future, although Captain Hu made it clear, we will fully cooperate. ”

"That's right! It's a fluke to be alive until now! Captain Hu, we can regain our lives thanks to you sacrificing your life. Whether to fight or withdraw in the future, we have no second word. It may be an honor for us to die on the battlefield! ”

The officer who spoke up at this moment, Hu Minyi, who was born in the 112th Division of the Northeast Army, was only a second lieutenant platoon commander. But during the time he was imprisoned, Hu Minyi had deeply realized that it was better to die in battle than to live.

Hu Minyi, who followed the division headquarters to block the main force of the Japanese army attacking Nanjing, and his regiment was completely disabled. The infantry platoon under his command originally had only a dozen people captured. But during the time he was in custody, he didn't see those subordinates again.

After being rescued this time, he finally saw a soldier in his platoon, and learned that those subordinates were all killed by the little devil without exception. Someone was killed on the way to capture, someone was killed while getting sick while in captivity.

Hearing this bad name, Hu Minyi felt very remorseful. The reason is that when the Japanese army broke through the position, those subordinates originally planned to die and not surrender. But Hu Minyi felt that there was no need to make senseless sacrifices, so he ordered his subordinates to surrender.

But he would never have imagined that the decision originally made to save all his lives had become a talisman for his subordinates. At present, only him and the old subordinate are left in the whole platoon, and Hu Minyi feels that he has the responsibility and obligation to avenge those subordinates.

With Xu Mingzhi and Hu Minyi opening their support, the rest of the officers looked down on Hu Biao, the newly promoted lieutenant. But in this case, it is not easy for them to say anything against it.

Hu Biao also saw the expressions of the officers very clearly, and after sneering in his heart, Hu Biao pretended not to see it, and continued: "Thank you for lifting up!" This rescue is just a coincidence, and you don't need to be so polite.

According to what I learned earlier, it would take at least three hours for the nearest Japanese city defense unit to come to our aid, and even more if they were to advance on foot.

Judging from the current situation, we must not be able to stay in this county for long. It's really a little devil blocking the city, and it will be very troublesome to evacuate when the time comes. Only outside the city can we get a glimmer of life and find an opportunity to join the main forces on the front line.

In order to facilitate the command of the operation later, I also plan to say some ugly things in advance. If you are willing to fight the little devils with me, you will go out of the city with me later. If you don't want to fight the little devils, I won't force it, and I will also send you away.

If you don't believe this, you can ask Captain Tian. To tell the truth, although I have the rank of lieutenant appointed by the military department, I am not an officer of the national army. All I do now is to do my duty as a soldier.

But there is something I must say now, and that is that if you are willing to stay, you must obey orders and obey commands. To put it mildly, even if there is an order from the peak. In the battlefield behind enemy lines, you must also listen to me.

When the security breakthrough and the large army converge, you can return to the old army if you are willing to return to the old army, and if you are willing to go to other troops to take up a new position, it is also up to you. As for me, as long as I live, I will fight the little devil to the end! ”

This kind of rebellious remark came out, and an officer immediately said: "Captain Hu, since you are a soldier, you should understand that it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders and obey commands." There is an order from the peak, do you dare not listen? ”

"That's right! When I rescued Captain Tian and the others earlier, I told them that everything I am doing now is not an order from the top, and everything is voluntary. Including rescuing you from the cage, it is also my personal decision, not anyone's order.

All of you present should have participated in or heard of the Battle of Songhu. Originally, I was only a sergeant of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division, and in the battle to defend the Sixing Warehouse, I was fortunate enough to be awarded and promoted for military merit.

But you should know that our regiment finally withdrew from the battlefield, but was imprisoned in the concession by foreign devils. The whole regiment, including Xie Jinyuan, is still being detained in the lonely military camp in Shanghai, and what is Shangfeng doing?

If everything could be resolved through negotiation, we would not end up where we were. If any of you feel that it is too wronged to obey me, then you can find another job. But there is one thing, weapons cannot be taken away.

In a word, I am now leading people to fight devils, and I have never acted on people's orders. To put it simply, the team led by Lao Tzu now, the food, clothing, and even the salary were all snatched from the little devil with a knife and a shot.

This rescue of you is also for the sake of your fellow soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War. It is up to me to decide how to distribute the weapons that can be captured. If you want to leave, I can give you money and food, but I can't give you weapons and ammunition! ”

"No weapons, how can we leave! You're doing that, it's a great rebellion! ”

When Hu Biao said these somewhat deviant words, some officers soon raised objections, and even bluntly said that Hu Biao's move was very rebellious, but Hu Biao also said neatly: "Three knives, come in!" Take him away, keep him in custody for the time being, and don't abuse him! ”

Xu Sandao, who had a submachine gun hanging from his waist, stayed outside the conference room as a guard. Hearing Hu Biao's call, Xu Sandao said with a cold expression: "This chief, please!" Brother is a rough man, it's better not to force me to do it! ”

"Do you want to rebel? Lao Tzu is a major, do you want to commit the next offense? ”

The captured major, after being rescued, tried to take command of the force. As the highest-ranking officer among the rescued prisoners of war, the Major felt that he was the best candidate for the commander.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the meeting, so he wanted to encourage other officers to remove Hu Biao from command. As a result, Xu Mingzhi and Hu Minyi's support made his idea completely frustrated, and he still felt a little frustrated.

When Hu Biao said the kind of words that ignored the peak, the major felt that the opportunity had come again. He lashed out at Hu Biao in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, trying to stir up the emotions of other officers. As a result, as soon as the words fell, Xu Sandao directly slapped him with a big slap.

"Major! Lao Tzu only knows that half an hour ago, you were just a captive of the little devil's fish. Without our captain's rescue, you're a fart major! Don't you dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu immediately sudden? ”

has been with Hu Biao for a long time, and Xu Sandao's personality has become much tougher. There are many little devils killed, and Xu Sandao knows better than anyone that Hu Biao is a buried genius commander. A major who has been captured, what a fart!
