After arranging relief for the victims, and receiving a telegram from Brooke again, Hu Biao finally decided to leave for Shanghai. Before leaving, Hu Biao also went back to Zaozhuang and emptied all the remaining medicines in the space for trading.

Although the Japanese attack continued, after the main force of the Eighth Route Army withdrew into the Yimeng Mountains, the attention of the Japanese army was also drawn away. At this moment, the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang paid more attention to the repair of the railway.

In view of the fact that the development of troops also needs a period of stability, the operations of the Eighth Route Army around Zaozhuang have also been reduced a lot. Correspondingly, Hu Biao's troops in Zaozhuang did not receive any combat missions, and their energy was focused on troop training.

Considering that the Japanese army has sent many prisoners of war from the rear as coolies to repair the railway, Hu Biao, who returned to the Zaozhuang base, also instructed: "Xu Cheng, Haocheng, in the later stage, you will recruit soldiers and give priority to rescuing these prisoners of war!" ”

Compared with recruiting peasant children, Hu Biao attaches more importance to these soldiers who have been on the battlefield as prisoners of war. With a little training, these POWs can become combatants who are not inferior to veterans, and they are more assured of loyalty.

Only when you have been a prisoner of war of the little devil will you know how murderous the little devil is. When they had the opportunity to fight again, these prisoners of war would rather die than surrender. Such a soldier is the most suitable source of soldiers for Hu Biao and the troops.

In the face of Hu Biao's instructions, Xu Cheng, who is the captain of the base, also said seriously: "Please rest assured, captain, we will definitely take care of our home, rescue as many prisoners of war as possible, and strive to expand the army in the shortest possible time." ”

"Don't rush the expansion. Xu Cheng, you have been with me for a long time, and you should know that my principle is to rather lack than abuse. At present, the intelligence team is officially stationed in Zaozhuang, and you can communicate with you in a timely manner if you have any information.

The rescued hostages, don't bring them back to the base first, and arrange for them to be trained at the outer base. Beware of the possibility of spies deliberately dispatched by the little devils in the rescue of prisoners of war. A rat poop will spoil a pot of soup! ”

"Understood!"

When leaving Zaozhuang, Hu Biao met with Zhang Guangwu, who had been in contact before, in private. With the previous transaction and cooperation, both parties are very relieved in this transaction. The Eighth Route Army also prepared the corresponding transaction funds in advance.

Knowing that Deputy Division Commander Xu would soon arrive at Yimeng Mountain, where the Qilu Column was located, Hu Biao said with a little regret: "I'm sorry for you to tell Deputy Division Commander Xu!" On my side, time is really tight, and I have to go back to the south as soon as possible.

Now that you have decided to set off a larger-scale armed operation behind enemy lines on Qilu's side, I believe that we will have more opportunities to meet in the future. Regarding my requirements and comments, please report them at that time! ”

"Please rest assured, Captain Hu, I believe that these requests of yours will be seriously considered by the head of the headquarters! In the future, I believe we will have more opportunities for cooperation. Compared to other allies, I recognize Captain Hu as an ally! ”

"It's all about fighting devils! Sincere cooperation is beneficial to all of us. If you need anything in the future, you can also send me a telegram. As long as I can, I will instruct the troops on this side to fight and cooperate with you.

As for the list of supplies you provided earlier, I will raise them as soon as possible when I return to the south this time. If nothing else, in a month or two, there should be news. The premise is that I hope you can raise the corresponding funds as soon as possible! ”

Taking into account the needs of the development of the troops, the Eighth Route Army also hopes to purchase a number of small machine tools and radio accessories, such as diesel generators, and the Eighth Route Army also needs to purchase several sets. These things are not cheap.

Fortunately, although the Eighth Route Army is poor, it is not without money, but they have to spend every penny on the blade. The materials urgently needed by these troops are undoubtedly more fair than the prices given by Hu Biao from other sources.

After completing the transaction, Hu Biao handed over the remaining two batches of drugs to Hu Minyi for management. Soon after, the people sent by Li Zongren and Pang Bingxun would go to the corresponding place to trade with Hu Biao.

The money from the sale of drugs will be used as the development fund and military salary of the detachment in Qilu. In the short term, Hu Biao doesn't have to inject too much money into the troops here. Even the next time I come over, I can leave with a batch of funds.

Hu Biao, who left Qilu and officially entered Suzhou Province, took Liu Shixing, Xu Sandao and others and began to move towards Shanghai along the coastal cities in Jiangsu Province. From the Zaozhuang detachment, Hu Biao also selected fifty reserve members.

Although a group of people were left in Zaozhuang and Malingshan, the elite troops who actually guarded Hu Biao still reached more than 100 people. As long as you don't bump into the big army of the little devils, it is impossible to catch Hu Biao with the garrison Japanese troops in each city alone.

On his return to Shanghai this time, Hu Biao will also purchase a batch of high-end foreign intelligence equipment for the intelligence group. Similar to items such as cameras, Hu Biao also entrusted Brooke to buy a batch on his behalf, and the number of low-power radios is even more.

According to Hu Biao's plan, cities at the county level are equipped with a low-power radio station, and within the scope of the city level, a high-power radio station is equipped. Relying on this radio network, it can also make it easier and faster for the BFIPU to summarize and transmit information.

As for Liu Shixing's proposal to set up an action team to cooperate with the intelligence group, Hu Biao also said that he would start arranging it later. However, the Task Force cooperates with BFIPU and does not have the authority to command the Task Force.

Hu Biao is also extremely concerned about military power. In the later county, where there is an intelligence team, Hu Biao will arrange the corresponding action team. Whether it is collecting intelligence or collecting funds, these action teams can solve a lot of troubles for Hu Biao.

After more than half a month of marching, Hu Biao finally arrived in Shanghai. Considering that the Japanese army occupied Shanghai for a short time, the control of Shanghai was also increasing, and the accompanying spy company was also arranged outside the city by Hu Biao.

Thinking of the importance of Shanghai, Hu Biao brought his troops to Jiading City, which was not far from Shanghai, before entering the city. Compared with the prosperous Shanghai Concession area, Jiading City has been repeatedly disabled by the Japanese army, and it looks much more dilapidated.

But for Hu Biao, this is an important passage into Soviet Province. In the future, if Hu Biao wants to develop in Suzhou Province, this place must also be taken seriously. In addition to dispatching an intelligence team, Hu Biao will also arrange an action team here.

After listening to Hu Biao's suggestion, Liu Shixing, as the head of the intelligence team, also said seriously: "Please rest assured, captain, I will personally select capable personnel in the later stage and do the work here in Jiading." In fact, the military commander also has a stronghold here! ”

"Whether it is the military commander, the central commander, or even the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army, we should not deal with them easily. Even if you want to cooperate, you have to get my permission and approval. You're an old informant, so you should know what to do.

The formation of the Intelligence Group is more about working with ourselves. Your intelligence work in the province of Su is also preparing for the next step of the expansion of the troops. You will be given half a year at most, and I will send a group of elites to leave later.

In the selection of intelligence officers, priority is given to screening and training from the troops. In the future, the work of your intelligence group will be in the southwest. In the north, we don't have much to do, and we just need intelligence to ask the military commander and the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Although I don't understand why Hu Biao focused his intelligence system on the southwest region, Liu Shixing still knew that the focus of the future anti-Japanese war of the national army would also be on the southwest. At this moment, the focus of defense is on the Central Plains.

The situation in the southwest is more complicated than in the south. Correspondingly, the scourge of the little devils is not particularly serious. Many provinces have not even been subjected to the baptism of war by the Japanese army, and some provinces are under the control of some warlords.

If Hu Biao really wants to become an independent army, then the southwestern provinces are indeed a good opportunity. Since he has chosen to work with Hu Biao, Liu Shixing naturally hopes that Hu Biao's strength and power will be as great as possible. That way, they will have a brighter future.

Considering that it was inconvenient for Liu Shixing to show up, he settled the team outside Jiading City to rest, Hu Biao only took a platoon of troops, and through night infiltration, he avoided the checkpoint set up by the little devils outside the city and entered the city safely again.

After entering the city to change clothes, Hu Biao also said directly: "Sandao, put the brothers in a safe house, there should be no tasks in the past two days, everyone have a good rest." However, they need to be warned not to cause trouble easily! ”

"Yes, Captain! Then you should be careful! ”

"If you have something, just send a telegram in time!"

After the separation, Xu Sandao took the team members to the safe house they had purchased earlier to rest. For the servants who live in the safe house, they are also surprised why the landlord buys the house but rarely comes to live in the house.

Fortunately, the people who are hired to the safe house know that they live in the safe house, and they are more of a housekeeper. They don't dare to ask too much about the landlord who comes home late at night. As long as they are not stupid, they all know that the identity of the landlord is not simple.

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who arrived in the concession late at night, did not return directly to his residence, but made a phone call to Brooke. Brooke was also surprised to learn that Hu Biao had returned and invited himself to a hotel outside for a drink.

smiled and said, "Hu, you made me wait so hard!" If you don't come back, I won't be able to pay the warehouse rent! ”

"Less nonsense! That's just a lot of things, just rent the warehouse for a little money, you think I don't understand the market! Okay, in order to thank you for your hard work during this time, I will wait for you in the old place and treat you well in the evening, how about it? ”

"OK, I'll be there right away!"

For Brooke, as Hu Biao gave more and more orders, his position in the concession also rose. Although Hu Biao did not trade with him many times, the amount of money that Hu Biao traded each time was quite a lot.

Hu Biao's return this time means that Brooke can make a lot of money again. For such a gold owner, how could Brooke not like it! As for Hu Biao's true identity, Brooke felt that there was no need to explore too much.

As a businessman who came to the East to pan for gold, as long as Hu Biao had enough funds in his pocket, Brooke would not care what Hu Biao's true identity was. And this time Hu Biao returns, Brooke is also curious, how much income will Hu Biao bring him?
