As soon as the Battle of Jinling ended a year ago, the Japanese army formulated the plan to open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, connect the battlefields of North China and Central China, expand its aggression, adopt the policy of advancing from the north to the south, and flank the anti-Japanese troops of the Nationalist Army who retreated to the front line of Xuzhou.

After the fall of Jinling, about 80,000 Japanese troops crossed the river from Runzhou, Jinling, Wuhu and other places to the north, and went straight to Bengbu along the Jinpu Road. When you go to the Mingguang area, it is the resolute resistance of the national army's defense forces, and the fierce battle between the offensive and defensive sides is ordered.

The stubborn resistance of the Nationalist army undoubtedly greatly surprised the Japanese commanders, and they immediately began to mobilize reinforcements from Jinling and other places to attack. The 51st Army of the National Revolutionary Army deployed on the north bank of the Huai River and resisted the enemy's northward advance across the river at risk.

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war on the Huai River line, forming a situation of confrontation across the Huai River. On the northern line of Jinpu, Han Fuyu, who originally had 80,000 troops, retreated without a fight in the face of the Japanese attack, and successively abandoned Jinan, Tai'an, Qufu and other places.

During the Spring Festival, the 5th Division of the Japanese North China Front and the Japanese marines who had landed in advance jointly invaded and occupied Qing Island. Subsequently, the Japanese army gathered the 5th and 12th divisions and marched in parallel in two directions, trying to meet the division in Taierzhuang.

As a strategic location in Xuzhou, Taierzhuang's strategic position is undoubtedly extremely important. Around the vicinity of Taierzhuang, the national army also began to send heavy troops to deploy defenses to block the two Japanese divisions that were trying to complete the division from the north and south.

This time, Hu Biao and his entourage, who went north along the Yanpu Railway, also arrived in Linyi, which began to become a war zone. Looking at the enemy war report sent by the military commander, Hu Biao also knew the inertia of history and did not change with his arrival.

Spreading out the captured military map, Hu Biao was also analyzing the situation of the enemy and us all the way. Thinking of the famous Battle of Taierzhuang, Hu Biao finally sent a telegram to Dai Li, asking him to inform the commander of the place and be ready to receive telegrams from the spy company at any time.

Receiving the telegram from Hu Biao, Dai Li was also surprised and said: "This guy, why did he go to Taierzhuang if he didn't stay in Lincheng?" The enemy situation there is serious, and the little devils have gathered heavy troops, and it will be troublesome if they really encounter it. ”

Regarding Dai Li's worries, the staff officer beside him smiled and said: "Bureau, I think you are concerned about chaos, since Feihu dares to go, he must be sure." With him muddying the waters in the war zone, the front-line troops may be more relaxed. ”

"With the little troops under his command, what can he do? There are fortifications in Jinling, but now there are plains over there. This guy is really not a worry-free master. I'd better ask for a seat on this matter! ”

It is clear that Lao Jiang cares very much about this flying fox general who was born out of nowhere, not to mention that Hu Biao returned to Shanghai a while ago, and also killed the mutinous Zhang Xiaolin for the military commander. For this Green Gang boss to defect to the Japanese army, Lao Jiang was also extremely angry and annoyed.

After listening to Dai Li's report, Lao Jiang thought for a while and said: "This kid himself is a restless master, and he has already arrived in the front-line war zone, so tell him the liaison radio of the front-line troops." I think this kid should be able to help a little. ”

"Yes! It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that the news that he is still alive will be exposed. According to the information we have, the special high school is currently looking for his information like crazy. To know that he is on the front line, it is estimated that he will be dangerous. ”

"This news will be revealed sooner or later! If he was really so easy to be caught by the Japanese army, it would be his fate. When sending a report to the front-line commander, remember to make a special reminder. I think the name he used in Shanghai earlier was quite good. ”

"The commission means the Einsatzgruppen?"

"That's right! When we reported to the frontline troops, we were informed that we had sent a special task force to operate behind enemy lines. If the team sends a telegram, ask them to cooperate as appropriate. Try to support as much as possible without affecting the deployment of defenses! ”

"Yes, take a seat!"

With Lao Jiang's Chrysostom, Dai Li quickly sent a telegram to the generals stationed on the front line of Taierzhuang. Looking at this telegram sent by the military commander, many front-line generals felt inexplicable. At this time, what is the purpose of sending a special task force?

Some generals even said directly: "You won't do anything about battlefield inspection, right?" If that's the case, it's going to be a big mess! ”

In order to ensure that the front-line troops will not defect and leak secrets, the military commander will also send some inspectors to the troops. This special operations team, in the eyes of many generals, may be a battlefield inspection team.

Many times, these inspection teams that have entered the army, in the name of rectifying military discipline, have made a mess of the troops. At present, the war situation is urgent, and if some incidents are really made, it will cause the troops to mutiny!

But there was still a general who said: "Judging from the telegram, it doesn't look like an inspection team." How many inspectors have you seen who dared to go to the front line of the battlefield? This Einsatzgruppen team, can it be behind enemy lines? Without the guts, who would dare to go? ”

"That's it! Just write it down! Didn't you see what was noted on Telegram? This telegram is top secret! Except for a few of us, no one is allowed to reveal information to the outside world. If you receive a telegram from this team, report it to me immediately! ”

Compared with the staff officers under his command, who are good at analysis, the generals who are front-line commanders know that this telegram is not simple. From the telegram sent by the military commander, it is not difficult to see that this is a special instruction issued by the commission.

It can be seen from this that this special task force has a place in the heart of Lao Chiang. In fact, these generals even doubt that the so-called special task force will be the powerful and mysterious presidential guard around Lao Chiang?

On the other hand, Hu Biao and his entourage, who entered the territory of Linyi at this moment, looked at the telegram sent by the military commander, Xu Sandao also smiled and said: "Captain, it seems that this Dai Juzuo really doesn't attach great importance to you!" ”

"That's because he's so profitable to work with us! Taking the matter in Shanghai as an example, it is not that we have inserted a pole sideways, and it is estimated that the military command will gain a foothold in Shanghai. Now that we are behind enemy lines, we are still collecting intelligence for them, and they are naturally willing to cooperate.

From the map, we are not far from the house of the plug. Fortunately, his family is in the countryside, so he will send someone to inquire tomorrow. If you have a large army, you can rest here. Ask where the bolt's house is, and let's take a few trips then. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

It is clear that going north on this trip and sending Huang Erzhuan's ashes to his family for burial is also one of the purposes. After sending Huang Erzhuo's ashes, the special service company will also officially enter the combat procedure behind enemy lines. What to do next, Hu Biao still needs to think again.

But the battle situation of the enemy and the deployment of troops on the front line, the reconnaissance platoon commanded by Xu Sandao has already begun to move. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army is also mobilizing heavy troops and preparing to attack the Taierzhuang line, which is also heavily defended.

The forward positions have even begun, but the battle is not as fierce as imagined, and the two sides are still in the tentative stage. But as far as the situation on the battlefield is concerned, the Japanese army is menacing, and it is really unknown whether the defenders can resist it.

Considering that they had entered the war zone, Hu Biao and his entourage all changed into civilian costumes. The weapons and equipment can be replaced with the equipment of the national army. It's just that every spy company soldier has a spare gun. If necessary, they can change their clothes into Japanese soldiers at any time.

When we set off from Anhua Mountain, it was already the beginning of February, and when we arrived in Linyi, it took nearly a month. As a result, when the troops entered the territory of Linyi, they found that Linyi had been reduced to a war zone, and the Japanese army and the defenders were facing each other.

Hu Biao and his entourage, who were secretly stationed in a mountain in Linyi, did not intervene in the war. To Hu Biao's surprise, after receiving the telegram from the military commander, he already knew that the troops stationed in Linyi at this moment turned out to be Pang Bingxun of the Northwest Army.

According to what Hu Biao learned, this was a fierce general in the national army who had fought with the Japanese army many times. And the Japanese division attacking Linyi at this moment is also the Itagaki Division known as the 'Steel Army'.

After receiving this information from the military commander, Hu Biao immediately adjusted his battle plan and decided to stay in Linyi for a longer period of time. As for Taierzhuang, the distance is not too far anyway, and Hu Biao has no intention of entering the core area.

In Hu Biao's view, the spy company under his command is better at operating behind enemy lines. Only by fighting the transport and supply lines of the little devils, or the rear hospitals and command posts of the little devils, can the power of the surprise attack of the spy company be fully utilized.

While the soldiers of the spy company were resting, Hu Biao was still analyzing the enemy situation. Lin Yashi, who accompanied her to the north, looked at the tent that was still lit with oil lamps, and really admired Hu Biao's spirit, as if she never knew that she was tired.

This trip to the north, even if it was very hard, but Lin Yashi finally gritted her teeth and persevered. At least no longer let people carry it, it still hasn't happened. Her actions also inspired other fighters not to relax their demands on themselves.

If they can't even compare to a woman, how can they be worthy of the name of elite soldiers?

Hu Biao, who rested for a night and analyzed the enemy situation until midnight, left with Xu Sandao, Qin Tianyou and others early the next morning. The housekeeping business was handed over to Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang did not dispute this arrangement.

Looking at the villages passed along the way, most of them have become empty, and Hu Biao also knows that the war on the front line has affected these villages not far from the road. At this time, no one dared to stay in the village any longer.

Seeing this, Hu Biao said with a little worry: "This time, you won't be able to find the Bolt family, right?" ”

"Who knows! In these years, there was a shortage of soldiers, and people were fleeing everywhere. Now that the little devil soldiers are coming to the city, it is estimated that many ordinary people are hiding. Let's go to the village of the plug first, it should be not far away. ”

Fortunately for Hu Biao and his entourage, when they arrived at the village where Huang Erzhuo's house was located, they could still see that there were people in the village. Just saw Hu Biao and his entourage appear, and these villagers who were watching at the entrance of the village quickly hid.

This scene was also seen many times by Hu Biao during his trip to the north. In the era of war and chaos, many villages were very afraid of strangers entering the village. And although Hu Biao and his entourage dress like the people, their behavior is obviously not like the people!

motioned for Xu Sandao to enter the village, and finally knocked on the door of a villager's house, and Xu Sandao also explained his intentions. Knowing that Xu Sandao was here to look for someone, the village was also very surprised and said, "Who are you bolts?" Why don't you see the embolus? ”

Even ordinary people will be extra vigilant when strangers enter the village to inquire about the news. If it weren't for Xu Sandao being very polite, I'm afraid that this villager wouldn't talk to Xu Sandao at all, let alone take Xu Sandao to Huang Ershuo's house!
