After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government was forced by the Japanese army to attack Shanghai and threaten Jinling, and finally reached an agreement with Yan'an on the formation of an army by the Red Army guerrillas in the southern provinces to carry out anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare in the north and south of the Yangtze River and in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.

This army, which was formed by guerrilla units in various provinces, is the New Fourth Army currently operating in Anhui Province. But many people don't know that in fact, in Qiongdao, which is currently occupied by the Japanese army, there is also a guerrilla force that has not been reorganized.

As a soldier who came from later generations, Hu Biao didn't know much about the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Qiongdao, but he knew that there was a red women's army in Qiongdao. When they met in Zaozhuang a year ago, Hu Biao mentioned to Deputy Division Commander Xu that he would focus on the southwest after the year.

Upon learning of this situation, the Eighth Route Army also attached great importance to it, and after asking Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army quickly informed Hu Biao that they still had a unit active in Qiongdao. Even after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, capable personnel were sent back to strengthen the united front work.

At present, he planned to send a part of his forces into Qiongdao to fight behind enemy lines, and Hu Biao felt that it would be more beneficial to fight the Japanese army by uniting with this guerrilla force. And Hu Biao's decision to send troops to Qiongdao was also because he knew that Qiongdao had iron ore resources urgently needed by the Japanese army.

Not to mention that the strategic location of Qiongdao is extremely important, and the iron ore resources of Qiongdao alone are enough for the Japanese army to invade. If they wanted to dig the iron ore on the island, the Japanese army would inevitably need a large number of young and strong coolies, among whom there must have been a large number of prisoners of war who had been transferred from prison.

Hu Biao's real purpose was to rescue these prisoners of war and make them a new force in the army. In Hu Biao's view, these rescued prisoners of war only need to be transferred out of the island for resettlement after a period of investigation.

Moreover, most of these prisoners of war were not locals, and Hu Biao did not have to worry about them defecting and fleeing. When they settle down in the army, I believe that they will also become the backbone of the army, and they do not have to worry about being rebelled against or co-opted.

Secondly, by striking at the Japanese army, it is also important to train and beat the troops. The existence of such a battlefield is also extremely beneficial to the development of troops. Around Qiongdao, Hu Biao can even train a force that is suitable for amphibious operations on land and sea.

From Liu Shixing's mouth, it was learned that the Japanese army had invaded and occupied an island in the strait as its naval and air base. Hu Biao had a new battle plan, and before deciding to go to Qiong Island, he could find a way to take this island.

With this operational plan, Hu Biao immediately ordered: "Lao Liu, can you find a way to go to the island to reconnoitre?" ”

"It should work! Although the little devil has strengthened his vigilance, it should not be a big problem to find a way to touch the island at night! ”

"Okay! You go and arrange first, find one or two boat bosses who are familiar with the situation around Weizhou Island, and then find a way to let them send people to the island. If I can't find anyone reliable, I'll let them know and see if there's anything else I can do! ”

"Understood! I'll arrange it later! On the guest's side, when do you plan to meet? ”

"Is the other person in the store? Also, can you be sure that there is no tail? ”

"People in the city are panicking right now, and no one should be paying attention to our side. Usually, there are not many customers in the store, and they are not noticeable. It's just that two days ago, I found out that there were some noteworthy people in the city. ”

As the head of the intelligence team, Liu Shixing is naturally good at camouflage and can also distinguish some like-minded people. The people who can make Liu Shixing pay attention, in addition to the spy personnel of the military command, are naturally members of the special high class sent by the little devils.

Regarding the information provided by Liu Shixing, Hu Biao also said directly: "The old rule, once it is confirmed that the other party has a problem, find a way to arrest it first and then try it." There is just one thing to note, at present, in the hands of the little devils, there are also many spies who are plotting against them.

During the interrogation, try not to accidentally injure yourself. If you really can't judge your identity, find an opportunity to let them go. After being arrested and interrogated, as long as they are not stupid, they should leave obediently, or contact their superiors for support! ”

"Yes, I know how!"

Compared with the confrontation between the two armies on the surface, the intelligence war in the shadows is also extremely cruel. In many cases, once the identity of a spy is revealed, it may lead to death. Sometimes, in order to avoid leaking information, they often choose to commit suicide.

This time when he came to the southwest, Hu Biao greeted the military commanders. But after arriving in the southwest, Hu Biao rarely contacted Dai Li. In fact, the military commander's intelligence personnel in the southwest are also extremely limited, and the situation here is more complicated than in the theater of operations.

In addition to the military commanders and the Japanese army's special high school courses, in order to control every move of the locality, the Gui department must also have its own intelligence system. In addition, it is not easy for some people who act as intelligence traffickers for Britain, France, and other countries, and it is really not easy to distinguish who they are working for.

asked someone to bring a teapot, and Hu Biao started boiling water directly in the resting room. When the water was almost boiling, Tian Tiezhu, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the guest has arrived!" ”

"Please come in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The middle-aged man who was led outside the guest room, Chaotian Tiezhu smiled, and soon stepped into the room where Hu Biao was. Looking at Hu Biao, who got up to greet him, the middle-aged man also said politely: "You are Mr. Hu who sells dates, right?" ”

"Yes! Are you Mr. Ma who sells fish? ”

"I haven't sold fish for a long time, and now I'm selling cloth! Monopoly red cloth! ”

The two of them who met for the first time smiled and said some joint codes, and after confirming that there was no problem, Hu Biao said: "Mr. Ma, please take a seat!" I just bought a little good tea before, if you don't dislike it, why don't you sit down and chat while drinking tea, how about it? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey! Let the gentleman break the bank! ”

After sitting down, Hu Biao waved his hand and motioned for Tian Tiezhu to close the door. After the tea was boiled, the middle-aged man surnamed Ma continued: "Mr. Hu, ask more." Earlier, in the northwest of Shanxi, a gentleman surnamed Zhu invited you to dinner, what did you eat at that time? ”

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Hu Biao smiled and said, "Mr. is very cautious!" Fortunately, I still remember that meal very clearly. Multigrain wotou with sweet potato porridge, a bowl of meat dishes with more peppers than meat, and a few river fish, pumpkin and cabbage are also good! ”

Be clear about the questions asked by the other party, and more often than not, you are not sure of your identity. The Mr. Zhu in the other party's mouth is undoubtedly Mr. Zhu of the Eighth Route Army. If you were someone else, it must not be clear what Mr. Zhu had eaten when he entertained Hu Biao that day.

After Hu Biao finished speaking, Mr. Ma also got up embarrassed and said, "Mr. Hu, I'm very sorry!" In order to avoid identifying the wrong person, Mr. Zhu deliberately confessed before leaving, let me use this question to confirm your true identity! ”

"It doesn't matter! There is nothing wrong with prudence! You should have come from the island this time, right? ”

After confirming each other's identities, Hu Biao also directly asked about the situation on Qiong Island. As a representative sent back by the Eighth Route Army, Ma Jiasheng also knew some information about Hu Biao from the headquarters.

It can be said that the headquarters sent Ma Jiasheng back to Qiongdao, in addition to bringing back the orders from the headquarters, he was also responsible for liaising with Hu Biao and acting as a liaison between the two sides. Before leaving, Mr. Zhu also met with him personally and told Ma Jiasheng to cooperate with Hu Biao.

If Hu Biao can get his support, the Qiongdao guerrillas will also receive favorable support. For a short time, the headquarters was simply unable to send troops to help them. This also means that if the guerrillas want to develop and grow here, they can only rely on their own strength.

In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, Ma Jiasheng also nodded and said, "Yes!" As the little devils occupy some important ports and county towns on Qiong Island, the situation on the island has become extremely chaotic. The garrison on the island was also completely defeated and fled to the mountains to fight guerrillas. ”

Hearing this, Hu Biao sneered: "Just those old soldiers, I'm afraid they won't last long if they go into the mountains to fight guerrillas." How many counties are currently occupied by the little devils? In addition, do you know the strength of the Japanese army left behind in the counties? ”

"There's not much information we have at the moment! When I came, the little devils were still attacking some county seats. A group of little devils landed from the north, and a group of little devils landed from the south, and the north and south marched together to prepare for convergence! ”

"How are you doing now? Are there enough troops, weapons and ammunition? Of course, if there is anything inconvenient to disclose, you can also leave it alone. I asked about this to learn more about you! ”

"Mr. Hu is serious! When Mr. Zhu came, he always confessed, saying that Mr. was a trustworthy and good friend. In fact, we've not been doing well. Earlier, on the island, it has been suppressed and encircled by the garrison.

Although the situation improved after the joint war of resistance, they were still very wary of us. Some time ago, I brought back the order of the headquarters, and after integrating the existing forces, an independent team was formed, under the jurisdiction of three squadrons.

The size of each squadron is roughly equivalent to a company. The total strength of the independent team is less than one battalion, and as for weapons and ammunition, it is even less deficient. After the little devil came to the island, we also fought a few battles with him, but we didn't get a bargain! ”

In the face of the Qiongdao guerrillas, whose total strength is less than one battalion, since they still dare to take the initiative to fight the little devils, Hu Biao really has some admiration. After listening to the specific situation of the guerrillas, Hu Biao also continued to inquire about the areas where the guerrillas operated.

Seeing Hu Biao's military map of Qiongdao, Ma Jiasheng was also extremely surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a detailed map. Referring to the map, Ma Jiasheng also marked some areas of activity of the guerrillas.

After understanding these situations, Hu Biao also said directly: "Originally, I came to the southwest with the intention of doing some business and trading, and the main area of activity was Longzhou. It's the first time I've been here.

Before I came, I sent a telegram to your headquarters informing you of the Japanese occupation of Qiongdao. In view of the previous partnership, I will help you in any way I can. Correspondingly, I hope you can help me a little bit.

After a while, I will send a team of no less than 300 people to the island, and I will also bring a batch of weapons and ammunition. Considering the current situation, for the time being, I can only support you with 500 rifles and a small number of machine guns, I hope it can help you! ”

As soon as he made a move, it was the equipment of a battalion, and when he heard the promise made by Hu Biao, Ma Jiasheng was naturally full of joy. It was only at this moment that Ma Jiasheng really understood why some leaders of the headquarters would say that this Mr. Hu was a trustworthy and wealthy man.

Establish a good relationship with him, and the troops behind him need weapons and ammunition, and maybe they can also get Hu Biao's support. It's just that if you take the benefits of Hu Biao, you always have to pay something. So what valuable things can the guerrillas provide to Hu Biao?
