The end of the Battle of Jinling did not end the pace of the Japanese invasion. On the contrary, after the occupation of Jinling, the Japanese army reformulated a new offensive strategy, and a large number of main combat divisions began to cross the river and launch an attack on the area where the Nationalist army was located.

Hu Biao, who was staying in Anhua Mountain, was able to know the current situation on the frontline battlefield through telegraph contact with the military commanders. Fortunately, it also took time for the Japanese army to deploy troops, and although the front-line battle was fierce, the national army responsible for defense was still able to hold on.

knew that even if he went to the battlefield immediately, with the strength of the Snow Shame Battalion, he would not be able to change the situation. Thinking of the previously determined battle plan, Hu Biao felt that this matter was not in a hurry, and it was better to train the troops well if he had time.

After three days of military competition, Hu Biao selected 60 new members from among nearly 2,000 subordinates. In addition to the earlier guard platoon, the newly formed spy company finally broke through the 100-person mark.

The selected fighters were elated, and the fighters who were not selected were depressed, but they knew that the chosen fighters were indeed stronger than them. If you lose if your skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to say. This kind of open selection is convinced by many fighters.

When Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou returned from the guerrilla zone, Hu Biao once again convened a meeting of the company commanders who stayed in the camp. The selection of new members of the spy company is over, and Hu Biao is also preparing to leave for Shanghai. It takes at least half a month or so to come and go.

Looking at the few company commanders seated, Hu Biao also said directly: "The things in the camp are basically the same, and it's time for me to go on the road." I estimate that it will take at least half a month to return this time, and a month at most!

During my absence from the battalion, Lao Xu was in charge of the training and operational command of the whole battalion. In the short term, I hope to maintain the status quo and let the fighters train well and improve their physical fitness first. In terms of supplies, there should be no shortage in a short time.

According to the telegrams sent back by the first and second companies, they have gained a lot from suppressing bandits recently. In addition to the seizure of a large amount of food and daily necessities, there was also an ill-gotten gain. Precious gold and silver, I will also bring it back to Shanghai this time and use it as procurement funds.

The rest of the money, as I said before, is sent to each fighter. Of course, it is estimated that they will not be able to spend the money sent for a while. At least for a long time, we were not able to move freely. ”

"Battalion commander, in fact, whether we are paid or not is not important. Stay in the mountains, there is no place to spend money! ”

Listening to what Zhao Bing said, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Qian Zhaofa, since I have decided to pay my brothers, I must do what I say." If a person has no faith, he will not stand, and it is one thing to pay a military salary without land to spend, and it is another thing to pay a salary or not.

In this way, when the salary is paid, it can be mentioned to the soldiers. If they are afraid that they will lose their salaries, they can hand them over to the logistics company for re-registration. When I have the opportunity to send money to my family in the next step, I will find a way to ask someone to send the money.

The Spring Festival is less than a month away, and I will try to come back before the Spring Festival. During the time I was not in the camp, the work in the camp was bothersome for you to watch. If there is any emergency, contact the radio at that time! ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

"As for the next offensive posture of the Japanese army, I believe you have been informed before. And what we have to do is lie dormant. When it is most critical, give the Japanese a fatal blow and support the front-line troops in this way.

Although the Japanese army had occupied Jinling and the surrounding counties, many of their logistical supplies needed to be transported by road. When the war on the front line is anxious and the Japanese army is in urgent need of supplies, we will attack their logistical supply lines.

The seized supplies are just enough for us. Correspondingly, it can also cause a shortage of supplies for the Japanese army on the front line. Therefore, during this time, you must tell the soldiers not to be anxious, and to train their physical fitness and military skills first. ”

"Understood! When we get back, we'll pass on your instructions to each fighter. ”

The things that should be explained are almost explained, and when the temporary meeting was about to end, Hu Biao said again: "The sixth company and the seventh company, your situation is relatively special, and at present, your two companies are still mainly taking care of the wounded soldiers.

Although the medicine is not enough, Dr. Chan has prescribed a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, which should be able to control the injuries of the wounded. If you have Chinese medicine, you can also reserve a little more if you have the opportunity. In some places, Chinese medicine is actually more effective than Western medicine.

During this time, the main work of the battalion was to build a rear hospital and clear the karst caves first. When I return from Shanghai, we will officially relocate. On the battalion headquarters, it will be used more as a training base for recruits in the future. ”

At present, the three combat companies still stationed under Anwar, in addition to being responsible for patrolling and guarding, each company has corresponding defensive positions to be stationed. There are actually not many troops who really live on the side of the battalion headquarters.

In order to find something to do for the troops left in the mountains, Hu Biao re-planned several peripheral defensive positions. In addition to training, let the soldiers dig trenches and fortifications, and save them from thinking about going out to the mountains to fight every day.

Lay a solid foundation first, so that they can survive when the Japanese army raises troops to encircle and suppress them in the future. Around the area where the cave was located, Hu Biao also ordered the logistics company to start building barracks nearby, and let the troops of the sixth and seventh companies garrison at that time.

In this case, even if the Japanese army sends a large army into the mountains to encircle and suppress it, it will be difficult to wipe out the Snow Shame Camp. On the contrary, several defensive positions that were horns of each other could also form an effective cooperation, so that the Japanese troops entering the mountains were tired of coping.

Continuing to advance deep into the mountains, Hu Biao felt that the 10,000 troops hidden in Anhua Mountain were not too many. The outer fortifications were built first, and the inner fortifications were built later, so that the Japanese could be held back at that time.

Capture a defensive position, the Japanese army will soon find out tragically again, and another defensive position will appear not far away. At that time, Hu Biao also wanted to see how many troops the Japanese army was willing to invest to encircle and suppress the Snow Shame Camp hidden in Anhua Mountain.

After the meeting, Hu Biao deliberately left Xu Mingzhi, Xu Sandao and the three platoon commanders of the spy company behind. According to Hu Biao's decision, on the night of the end of the meeting, the newly formed spy company left the mountain overnight to prepare for Shanghai.

This journey is mainly based on marching and training. If there is a chance, Hu Biao does not mind letting the troops carry out actual combat training. At least in Hu Biao's view, the real elite is not trained, but killed by real knives and guns.

If you want to become a real elite, you must go through the experience of blood and war. When he comes back from Shanghai, I'm afraid he won't stay here for long. Since the Battle of Xuzhou started, Hu Biao didn't want to miss it.

And this time, Hu Biao plans to lead his spy company to the northern battlefield. After coming to this time and space for a while, Hu Biao also wanted to go to the north to contact the Eighth Route Army. Of course, the most important thing is that Hu Biao wants to participate in the Battle of Taierzhuang.

Although Hu Biao did not know much about the process of the war, as the military commanders provided battlefield intelligence from time to time, Hu Biao also knew that the Battle of Jinling was over, and the upcoming Battle of Xuzhou should be the Battle of Xuzhou, and the Battle of Taierzhuang was the most classic battle in this battle.

This is also the only battle that can be called a great victory in the confrontation between the national army and the Japanese army since the Anti-Japanese War. Now that he has come to this era, Hu Biao doesn't want to miss such a general battle. He believed that the newly formed spy company would also be useful.

And this time, Hu Biao did not plan to hold the city again, but hoped to lead the spy company, give full play to its elite and mobility, and carry out several decapitation or sabotage battles. In this way, support the front-line anti-Japanese forces and expand the results of this campaign.

After explaining the preparations before departure, Tian Tiezhu, who replaced Huang Erzhuan as the guard, also said in a timely manner: "Battalion commander, Miss Lin is outside, she seems to have something to find you, do you want to let her in?" ”

"She's looking for me? Something? Let her in! ”

"Yes!"

After returning to Anhua Mountain to rest for two days, Lin Yashi, who did not dare to walk on the ground before, finally recovered a lot from her injury. Considering that Lin Yashi understands nursing, Hu Biao finally asked her to go to the wounded barracks and help the two doctors.

Judging from Tian Tiezhu's feedback, most of the wounded people were moved when they saw Lin Yashi who nursed and medicated them. Although some wounded soldiers like to talk about flowers, after being warned by the two company commanders, the wounded soldiers did not dare to mess around.

The reason is very simple, in the eyes of the two company commanders, Lin Yashi is already a woman determined by Hu Biao. Those wounded soldiers, if they dare to tease the chief's woman, do they still want to live? Hu Biao was also very helpless about this rumor.

Looking at Lin Yashi who entered the door, Hu Biao, who was packing up his things and preparing to leave, also said directly: "Miss Lin, is there something?" ”

"I heard that you are leaving? You want to go back to Shanghai, right? ”

"Who told you? How can you talk about such a thing everywhere? ”

Looking at Hu Biao's pretended angry expression, Lin Yashi also quickly said: "Don't worry about the news I heard from there, I want to go back to Shanghai with you." I grew up in Shanghai, I know the situation in Shanghai better than you, I can help you! ”

To Lin Yashi's surprise, Hu Biao shook his head directly and said: "This time I went back to Shanghai, and the time was very rushed. I believe you know better than me the situation of the wounded, they are in urgent need of medicine, and I went back to Shanghai to purchase medicine.

The important thing is that when we return to Shanghai on this trip, we will also experience battles, and it will not be convenient to take you on the road. Besides, you just hurt your foot, you don't want to be injured again when the time comes, right? Stay in the battalion, those wounded need your careful care even more. ”

Although she really wanted to say, 'I can persevere', Lin Yashi knew very well that with her current physical strength and mental state, it would be difficult to keep up with the marching speed of Hu Biao and others. Forcibly following them will only become a burden and a drag on the troops.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then when will you come back?" ”

From this tone of speech, Hu Biao could feel that this girl had fallen in love with him. The question is, how could Hu Biao, who couldn't even protect himself, easily make a promise to Lin Yashi?

If it were him in his previous life, Hu Biao would definitely not miss such an opportunity. Anyway, in that time and space, he didn't do much about the game flowers. But in this era, he really doesn't want to hurt a pure and simple girl like Lin Yashi!
