Chapter 309: Northern Layout

Two sections of the railway were blown up, the coal mine that had just started was completely destroyed, and the troops and workers stationed in the mining area were all brutally executed by the attackers. Everything was gathered together, which was enough to make the Japanese army in Zaozhuang stand by.

The biggest headache for the Japanese army was the rain that fell all night yesterday. The Japanese investigators who were in charge of investigating the scene of the attack could not find any effective clues at all. The only thing that can be confirmed is the identity of the train that was blown up.

The Japanese soldiers, who put everything together and quickly launched an investigation, felt that the attackers should have something to do with the train. But the train was sent from the port, and all the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of escorting the train were killed.

This means that the killer may have attacked from the other side of the railway, taking advantage of the rain to raid the coal mine. To the puzzlement of the investigation team, it appeared that only the military camp had fought in the entire coal mine.

So how did the attackers do this? Outside the coal mine, the Japanese troops stationed in the mining area must have been deployed with alert troops. How did the enemy bypass the alert troops and launch a surprise attack directly on the barracks?

After some deduction, the Japanese army was also confused by the conjecture conclusions of the investigation. In the end, it was concluded that the attack on the coal mine should be a combination of inside and outside. Inside the coal mine, there must be a murderer's internal response.

So who should it be? In addition to the unrecognizable corpses, are there any people alive in the coal mines? Where are the prisoners of war who were held in the coal mines? All of this is up to the Japanese army to find out.

The destruction of the railway means that the supplies of the Japanese army fighting on the front line will be affected again. Li Zongren, who was having a headache for the Japanese army's all-out attack, was also very surprised when he received the information sent by the military commander.

Holding the telegram, he looked at the map and said, "On the Zaozhuang side, are there any of our troops?" ”

"Yes! It's just that that unit simply does not have such combat effectiveness. Even, according to the situation found by the military commander, the independent regiment composed of routs was very likely to be pulled by the Japanese army. At present, the military commanders are also trying their best to win them over! ”

"Some people, for the sake of money and power, are really capable of betraying their ancestors and forgetting their ancestors! If it weren't for them, who would it be? ”

"General, although it is not clear who did this, judging from the method of this attack, the military command is very suspicious that the special task force did it. Unfortunately, we can't reach the Einsatzgruppen at the moment. ”

"That's not right! As early as half a month ago, the Einsatzgruppen team left Yicheng. Yicheng is so close to Zaozhuang, how could they still stay there? Wait, if the Einsatzgruppen left was a smoke bomb, then it would make sense! ”

Thinking of the earlier leak, Li Zongren felt that Hu Biao was a cautious person. In order not to reveal the whereabouts of the troops, radio contacts were deliberately reduced. Even the military commanders can't control their whereabouts, let alone the special high class of the Japanese army who wants to find them out?

With the ability of the Japanese army's special high class to spy on intelligence, who dares to guarantee that there are no internal ghosts planted by little devils within the military command and in the command headquarters of the troops in the theater? The previous leak of secrets had already made Hu Biao very suspicious of the secrecy of the national army.

If you think about it like this, then Hu Biao still stayed in Zaozhuang and didn't leave, which makes perfect sense! Bombing railways and coal mines is something that only a bold person like Hu Biao dares to do. If you change to other troops, you will never dare to do it without an order.

The reason is very simple, the agency in charge of Zhongxing coal mining earlier received an order from Lao Chiang to bomb the coal mine before it was evacuated. It's a pity that in the later stage, because of the obstruction of foreigners and mine owners, and Lao Jiang was also a little reluctant, the coal mine still didn't dare to blow up in the end.

Everyone knows that it is very simple to blow up a coal mine. However, if you want to restore the coal mine that was blown up, it will take a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Perhaps for the shareholders of the mine who left and Lao Jiang, they all felt that after the victory, the coal mine could still be recaptured.

They didn't blow up the coal mine before they left, and the little devils who were defeated by that time would not blow up the coal mine in the future. In that case, they would be able to peacefully accept the coal mines, and even resume production as soon as possible, earning them a steady stream of wealth.

Only a rough person like Hu Biao only knows how to destroy, not how to build. As for the railway, it is similar to the situation in the coal mines, it is easy to blow up, but it is difficult to repair it. Besides, there are foreign shares in the railway!

Offending foreigners is a very troublesome thing, especially for the Nationalist government, which currently needs support and loans from foreign governments! On the other hand, only people like Hu Biao, in order to make trouble for the little devils, don't care about offending foreigners!

Li Zongren, who understood this, suddenly smiled and said, "This Captain Hu is really incomprehensible!" ”

"Sir, do you want to send them a telegram to ask?"

"If he would tell us his whereabouts, I'm afraid he would have told us a long time ago. I didn't want to say, and it was in vain to ask. What's more, people are already helping us, and we must accept this situation. In the next battle, even if they participated, they wouldn't help much! ”

After the baptism of Taierzhuang's victory, the troops of the Fifth Theater were tempered and their morale was boosted. Correspondingly, it also angered the Japanese army. During this time, the Japanese army's counterattack had already made Li Zongren feel tremendous pressure.

Even judging from the current movement of the main forces of the Japanese army, it seems that the Japanese army has a plan to completely annihilate the troops of the Fifth Theater. The troops responsible for defending the Central China Front have retreated at this moment. In order to preserve strength, the fifth theater is afraid to be withdrawn!

Thinking of this, Li Zongren suddenly said: "In my private name, send an encrypted telegram to the special task force." We are afraid that we will have to retreat along the whole line, and wait for the Japanese to free up their hands, but we are afraid that they will be in trouble, and it is possible to leave as soon as possible! ”

Hearing what Li Zongren said, the staff officer was also surprised and said, "Sir, will there be a problem in sending such a telegram?" ”

"What's the problem? Could it be that you are worried that the Einsatzgruppen will leak secrets? Feel relieved! This is also done to show goodwill. As far as I know, this kid has a fortune. The medicines of the 40th Army were not captured by them at all. ”

"What does the commander mean is that the medicine of the Forty Army was obtained from the special task force?"

"That's right! In order to fight this battle well, the losses of our troops were not small, and the shortage of medicines was also very large. It is basically impossible to count on the rear to fully treat our wounded. At this time, there are still people who don't forget to make a fortune! ”

As a veteran general and veteran in the army, Li Zongren naturally has a lot of news channels. Pang Bingxun of the 40th Army has imported medicine in his hands, and he knows some insiders. This kind of imported medicine, the general who led the troops doesn't want to reserve more?

It is used to buy people's hearts and make money, and it is a first-class good thing!

Receiving the secret telegram from Li Zongren, Hu Biao said with a smile: "This old fox is really not simple!" It seems that he has guessed that we did what happened in Zaozhuang. The military commander should still be asking about our location, right? ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"Don't say anything! Inform the troops, tomorrow night, let's go out of the mountain and do another vote! ”

Listening to Hu Biao's decision, Qin Tianyou said with a little worry: "If you go down the mountain at this time, will there be too much movement?" ”

"Don't worry! The little devil couldn't guess where we were hiding for a while. There are many mountains in Zaozhuang, and the area is also quite a lot. As long as we hide well, who knows we're hiding here?

If we don't take advantage of the lack of troops of the little devils, take the opportunity to do a few more votes, and wait for the reinforcements of the little devils to arrive, it will only be more difficult for us to do it. What's more, three days have passed since we attacked the coal mine, and the little devils will suspect that we have left.

By tomorrow night's actions, let the little devils know that we haven't gone far. After that, we hid for a while. While we are dealing with the little devils, the troops rescued earlier can also complete a new round of training.

When their bodies are almost recovered, they will try to do a big deal before the return of the big army of little devils. Not to mention anything else, the little devils in Zaozhuang City have a lot of materials stored, but there are not too many troops stationed there.

During this time, in order to build railways and repair coal mines, the number of troops stationed in the city was constantly decreasing. We lit fires everywhere, and the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang need to deploy more troops to garrison various places, so give us a chance to break through.

When we have seized enough supplies, weapons and ammunition, and have been in the mountains for a month, do you think the little devil will continue to track down? Even if the little devil will send people around to find out the news, the number of bandits in Zaozhuang is the same! ”

In Hu Biao's opinion, the more this time, the more you have to take the opportunity to give the little devil a few beats. From the telegram sent by Li Zongren, Hu Biao already knew that the troops of the Fifth Theater would soon withdraw to the rear.

The Battle of Xuzhou, which is about to end, and the Yellow River burst that he knows, will also be staged soon. When the time came, taking advantage of the return of the main force of the little devils, Hu Biao went the opposite way and pulled the troops to the Yellow Flood Area to develop.

As for Zaozhuang, a small number of elite troops are still retained to fight guerrillas. In that case, even if the little devils reacted, I believe they would not dare to easily send a large force into the Yellow Flood Area to fight.

Sending a small number of troops to pursue the encirclement and suppression undoubtedly gave Hu Biao military exploits and trophies. Even if the supply of supplies from Zaozhuang is not available, you can contact the Eighth Route Army at that time. In the vicinity of the future Yellow Flood Area, there were also bases behind enemy lines of the Eighth Route Army.

In the eyes of others, the Yellow Flood Zone is not at all suitable for fighting behind enemy lines. But in Hu Biao's view, it is very suitable for the survival of an independent armed force like him. As for the supplies, as long as you have money, you should still be able to get them.

If it really doesn't work, I'll hit the idea of a little devil. From fighting across the Yellow Flood Area to grabbing things in the territory occupied by the little devils. All in all, there is not much time left for Hu Biao now. The arrangement on this side of the north must also be implemented as soon as possible!

When things in the north are arranged, Hu Biao also plans to return to the south. Before returning to the south, all the medicines he stored would be sold. After exchanging the funds, go back to Shanghai again to replenish the supplies and make a quick buck.

In addition, Hu Biao also plans to deposit the currency he snatched from the Little Devil Bank in a foreign bank. As for the gold, Hu Biao felt that there was no need to exchange it for the time being. If you really want to do something big in the future, gold can still play a big role!
