Taking the opportunity of the inspection a year ago, Hu Biao, in the name of distributing military salaries, brushed up his presence among the two guerrillas sent abroad. For the officers and men of the two guerrilla units, they were also very happy to see the money and supplies sent by Hu Biao.

If the soldiers were satisfied with the salaries, then the submachine guns, cigarettes and alcohol that Hu Biao gave to the guerrillas made the officers very happy. Together with the reserve money issued to the guerrillas, the two guerrillas did not have to worry about running out of money to buy supplies.

Although the Japanese army has strengthened material control at present, there are more little devils stationed in the county seat at present, and they cannot completely control the whole territory. As long as it is not paper money, the silver dollar is used to trade with the common people and squires, and the other party will be happy to sell something.

In these years, will the landlord's family have any grain in stock? As long as they are careful when trading, these landlords will also quietly sell a batch of grain stockpiles. These landlords dare not provoke the little devils, so how dare they provoke Hu Biao's anti-Japanese forces?

Even when leaving the two guerrillas, Hu Biao said very seriously: "You should also support and take care of those squires who are willing to trade with us privately." On the surface, the relationship is deadlocked, but in private, you can strengthen contact and contact.

You can also sell a batch of weapons and ammunition seized from the bandits during this time to those landlords and squires. In these years, there was a shortage of soldiers, and weapons and ammunition were still very well sold. We can't look down on this kind of weapon, and those landlords are still in dire need. ”

With Hu Biao's permission, Tian Sili and Sun Wei were very happy to bring troops out to establish a guerrilla force for the first time. Compared with staying in the Anhua Mountain Camp earlier, they do have a lot of autonomy now when they go out to work alone.

Except for the expansion and operational command, which need to be supervised by the battalion headquarters, most of the battalions will not interfere in other guerrilla affairs. This kind of trust also touched the two company commanders, and they said that they would work hard to build a good base area.

When returning to Anhua Mountain, most of the soldiers who went out with Hu Biao and his party carried a lot of things. Chickens, ducks, and fish were all purchased from the common people and landlords. The purpose is also very simple, to let the soldiers in the battalion have a good meal.

As for the extra meat that can't be eaten, this kind of weather will not get in the way for two days. It really doesn't work, but it's okay to pickle it with a little salt. Meat is an ingredient that is not too much for the officers and men of the whole battalion.

Looking at the materials sent to the logistics company one after another, many soldiers who were waiting for the New Year also said excitedly: "Wow, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner looks very rich!" I really didn't expect that the battalion commander could buy so many things from outside the mountain, it's great! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! As soon as the battalion commander comes back, we will be able to improve our lives, or the battalion commander feels sorry for us! ”

Whether it is the prisoners of war who were rescued earlier, or the wounded soldiers who were left behind. After this period of getting along and contacting, everyone recognized Hu Biao as the battalion commander. also knows that with a chief like Hu Biao, you don't have to worry about being abandoned.

The most important thing may be what many fighters say, follow Hu Biao to have meat to eat!

Taking the opportunity to return to the mountain, Hu Biao said to Zhao Bing, the commander of the logistics company: "Lao Zhao, after the Spring Festival, you can organize it, send some soldiers to the city or the countryside, buy some chicks and piglets, and choose a place in the mountains to build a farm."

Those wounded soldiers who are not suitable for the battlefield will be arranged for them to engage in logistics in the future, raise chickens and pigs, and contribute to the battalion headquarters. Don't feel ashamed to do this job, who can make the farm good, Lao Tzu gave him the opportunity to apply for meritorious promotion.

If in the future, our farm can ensure that the soldiers can eat an egg every morning and eat pig-killing vegetables every three or five times, how much money can be saved for us, and the soldiers can grow a few more catties of meat. This matter, you will focus on next year. ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

Logistics is always an indispensable force for a strong army. Whether or not logistics are done well will also have a direct impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops. Even in the modernized troops of later generations, logistics was a matter of great concern to the troops.

There is not much water in the mountains, so it is definitely not possible to raise ducks and the like, but it is not a big problem to raise chickens. As for pigs, Hu Biao thinks he can also raise them. It's better to find something to do for the wounded who are recovering from their injuries than to let them be idle and bored every day.

Even in Hu Biao's plan, after the expansion of the camp in Anhua Hill in the future, some vegetable plots can be cultivated, and some seasonal vegetables can be planted to improve food and reduce expenses. Relying solely on seizures can sometimes be easily influenced.

Don't you see that the Eighth Route Army in northern Shaanxi is engaged in development and logistics construction? The construction of Nanniwan was even carried out by regular troops. The reason for this is also to do a good job in the logistics of the troops and enrich the food baskets and dining tables of the troops.

Even if he just ransacked Zhengjin Bank, Hu Biao is not bad at money. But Hu Biao still knows that only by opening up sources and reducing expenditure can we go in the long run. If we want to feed more and more troops, how can we develop if we do not do a good job in logistical supply?

Considering that this Spring Festival is the first year that the Snow Shame Camp has spent in the mountains, Hu Biao still asked people to clean up the camp headquarters. Except for the troops on duty, the rest of the troops staying in the camp all came to the camp headquarters playground for a general meal.

Before the dinner, Hu Biao personally took Xu Mingzhi and several company commanders to the wounded barracks to offer condolences with the sick meal prepared by the logistics company. Looking at the steaming chicken and meat dumplings, many of the wounded who were still lying on the hospital bed burst into tears.

"Today's Chinese New Year is unlucky. Take good care of your wounds, and when you recover from your wounds, the camp will arrange for you. Since you choose to stay, then I, Battalion Commander Xu, and other company commanders will treat you as our own brothers. ”

"Thank you, battalion commander! Thank you, Chiefs. ”

This kind of bedside condolences also made many company commanders realize that it is not a bad thing to deal with soldiers more. The better the relationship between officers and soldiers, the more it will help to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops and make it easier for officers to command their subordinates.

As the battalion commander of the Snow Shame Battalion, Hu Biao also taught by word and deed in this way, so that all the officers could slowly integrate into this unit. After a long time, even if someone has two hearts and wants to pull away the troops of the Snow Shame Camp, I am afraid that it will be wishful thinking.

When the troops arrived one after another, they looked at the makeshift table, and most of them had two bottles of liquor and a few large pots of vegetables on the makeshift table. Many of the fighters were excited, looking forward to the early arrival of the meeting and the ability to have a good meal.

Hu Biao, who came back from condolences to the wounded, looked at the excited and expectant eyes of the soldiers, and said with a smile: "Brothers, this is the first time that our Snow Shame Camp has been established to celebrate the New Year collectively. If you can't go home to accompany your parents and relatives, then we will take the camp headquarters as our home.

If you don't have relatives by your side, then treat your comrades-in-arms as comrades-in-arms, because you are also brothers who fight side by side and entrust life and death. I also hope that by this time next year, we can all get together again and have a good New Year, do you say? ”

"Good!"

As the saying goes, think of your relatives every festive season. For many officers and soldiers of the Snow Shame Battalion, the more they trust their families far away at this time. Some fighters whose homes are in the occupied areas are more worried about the comfort of their families.

And Hu Biao also promised that after the intelligence system is established and perfected, a family letter channel will also be opened. Use the intelligence system to deliver messages or money for the soldiers. Of course, if you want to do this, I'm afraid you will have to wait a long time.

Fortunately, Hu Biao knows that a simple postman doesn't need to be too troublesome. The only thing that is needed is the establishment of intelligence sites in many cities. To do this, in addition to a large number of people, a large amount of money is required.

Fortunately, Hu Biao has sufficient funds at the moment, and if he has manpower, he can slowly recruit them later. In short, Hu Biao's main development plan for next year is to hope to set up an intelligence network first. From Shanghai, and then expanded to the entire territory of the Soviet Province.

If you want to go to other provinces, we will wait for the Soviet Province and the intelligence station in Shanghai to be set up first. The intelligence system is more only aimed at little devils and local puppet armies and puppet governments. As for the military command and other intelligence agencies, Hu Biao did not want to have too much contact with them for the time being.

The rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and Hu Biao is still very sober at this point. Fortunately, in this War of Resistance Against Japan, I am afraid that it will not end in a short time, so the time is still urgent. Besides, Hu Biao didn't plan too much, and it was enough to set up a point in some counties.

As the battalion commander, Hu Biao said that he congratulated the New Year and looked forward to the coming year, and did not forget to give Xu Mingzhi a chance to speak. Usually, Hu Biao rarely stays in the camp, and many things in the battalion headquarters are handed over to Xu Mingzhi.

As for Liu Shixing, who just joined, Hu Biao did not expose him too much to ordinary soldiers. As the intelligence officer of the Snow Shame Camp, Liu Shixing is still low-key, which is more conducive to his safety.

After the battalion headquarters chief and deputy finished speaking, Hu Biaocai said with a smile: "Don't talk much, just make a request tonight, everyone must eat and drink well." There is not much wine, only two bottles, drink more if you can drink, drink less if you can't drink, and don't get drunk and go crazy.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, return to the camp to wash and scrub, change into clean clothes, and then rest early. You don't have to do morning exercises tomorrow, and you don't have to be on duty tonight. However, don't walk around, don't make trouble, do you hear it clearly? ”

"Yes, Battalion Commander!"

"Okay, let's eat! Wipe out everything on our table! ”

"Good!"

With Hu Biao's order, everyone who had been waiting for a long time also began to enter the dining procedure. As for Hu Biao and his entourage, they were divided into two tables. The two doctors sat down with Lin Yashi and Hu Biao.

The rest of the company commanders also gathered at a table on their own. Considering that all the officers were on duty tonight, Hu Biao did not arrange wine for the officers. However, Hu Biao promised to wait until tomorrow night to let the officers have another good drink.

All the officers accepted such an arrangement. Not drinking alcohol when there is a task is also one of the rules of the Snow Shame Camp. At this point, even Hu Biao resolutely enforced. Even the battalion commander is like this, how dare other soldiers disobey it?

While the other soldiers continued to enjoy the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Hu Biao and the officers who had arranged for duty quickly ended their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and began to rush to those posts to replace the sentries who were on duty.

Seeing these officers coming to change the guard, many sentries were moved. This kind of respect that has never been felt before also makes the soldiers of the whole battalion feel that being able to stay in such a team is indeed the most fortunate thing in their military career!
