Chapter 17: Self-Knowledge

Looking at the patrol and the Japanese director who disappeared on the long street, Hu Biao, who stayed in the crowd of onlookers, also chose to leave at the right time. Hu Biao has already written down these Japanese who appeared in the trading house today, and will find another opportunity to clean them up later.

Compared with Lao Jiang and others, who have now retreated to Nanjing, they have always hoped to get the mediation of foreigners, but Hu Biao wants to make foreigners and Japanese really antagonistic. The worst is to make the little devils living in the public concession fearful.

At least one thing Hu Biao knew very well was that with the capture of Shanghai guarded by the National Revolutionary Army, and the occupation of the concession on the side of Suzhou Creek, he became the de facto ruler of Shanghai. I believe that many foreigners feel uncomfortable with this kind of change.

Although the foreigners choose neutrality, they hate ambitious little devils more than the weak and bullying government of the Republic of China. If at this time, someone cleans up the little devils in the jurisdiction area for them, maybe they will be happy in private.

There are some contradictions, and the effect may not be visible in a short time. But as time goes by, the grudges between each other increase, and sooner or later they will erupt. And the little devils at this stage, in order to complete the attempt to occupy the Celestial Empire, also need the support of foreigners.

Before being absolutely sure, even if the little devil is unhappy, he must endure it. Hu Biao, who had dealt with little devils a lot in his previous life, knew that the little devils were still commendable in terms of forbearance.

can't change the general trend, just add a little chaos to the little devils locally, Hu Biao is still very happy. The most important thing, whether it is materials or money, is what Hu Biao urgently needs at present. These things are undoubtedly the most suitable to ask for from the little devils.

Returning to the rear hospital, Hu Biao did not forget to bring wine and meat to Xu Sandao. Xu Sandao, who had been worried about Hu Biao's failure to return last night, also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You kid, you still know to come back!" ”

"What? Afraid that I will get lost? This wine and meat cost money, how can you buy it if you don't make money? ”

Compared with before leaving the team, Hu Biao's words seemed a little rude. Hu Biao, who has been promoted at this moment, but has not accepted the appointment, also needs to slowly change some of his image. Only in this way can we better lead our subordinates in the future.

A hero and three gangs, if they want to make some names in this troubled world, it will be difficult to fight alone. The comrade in front of him is also one of the helpers that Hu Biao wants to recruit, so he naturally needs to show some bearing and momentum.

Hearing that Hu Biao was going to make money, Xu Sandao said with a suspicious face: "Just this little wine and meat, how much money did you spend?" Didn't someone from the military department reward you with a lot of money when they came to the military department a time ago? Could it be that you spent it all? ”

"Who would have too much money? In this world, if you want to live, you don't have to make more preparations, but I'm afraid that you won't live long. My brother is not an outsider, you should know that I received a promotion order, but I refused the appointment of the military department.

At present, Tuanza and a group of brothers are all imprisoned in a lonely military camp by foreigners. I want to stay here and find a way to get them out. It's just that it's not easy to save them, save more money, and it will be useful in the end! ”

Although he has a plan in his heart, Hu Biao knows very well that even if he is a traverser, he does not have the spirit of a tyrant in the novel, and he can't make people worship him. If you want to recruit Xu Sandao for your own use, you naturally need to make friends.

knows what he wants to do in the future, and Hu Biao also hopes to recruit every brother around him to work together. If this is not possible, Hu Biao would rather give up the solicitation than have internal problems.

Regarding Hu Biao's remarks, Xu Sandao thought for a while and said: "Didn't the camp seat say that Shangfeng is negotiating with the foreigners, and they should be released soon?" If we can't save the peak, how can we save it? ”

As a result, to Xu Sandao's surprise, Hu Biao quickly said: "This time, I'm afraid that Shangfeng can't do anything." If the large army is still there, there is room for mitigation in this matter. Now that the main force has retreated across the board, this Shanghai is already the territory of the little devils.

To put it simply, those foreigners and little devils in the concession, although they can't be called raccoon dogs, they are not much better. Most importantly, they are accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Now that the little devils are in power, do they dare to offend the little devils?

In the past few days, I have thought about it carefully, and I am afraid that the matter of Shangfeng asking us to retreat is the ghost of those foreigners in the concession. He promised to let us withdraw into the concession by letting us go, but in fact he was afraid of being implicated by us.

When we really withdrew into the concession, these foreigners turned their faces and denied it, fearing that the little devils would find an excuse to attack the concession, so they detained them from the regiment, so as to prove to the little devils that they did not want to participate in this war.

Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, in order to ensure the safety of the concession, foreigners must take into account the face of the little devil in this kind of matter. In order not to make excuses for the little devils, they will definitely not let people go easily! ”

Combined with some of the introductions he saw at the memorial hall earlier, and synthesized these things he personally experienced, Hu Biao made these analyses. Hu Biao before he was retained, but he was afraid that he couldn't figure out these things.

So much so that after listening to Hu Biao's analysis, Xu Sandao also said with a look of disbelief: "Biaozi, are you all figured it out?" ”

As a veteran of the first battalion, Xu Sandao has heard a little about Hu Biao being a stunned person. It's just that after dealing with him a few times, Xu Sandao didn't believe that a shrewd person like Hu Biao would be a dumbfounder.

If Hu Biao is a dumbfounder, then people like them will not become fools?

"Hey, hey, it's ridiculous! I used to have a bad brain, but then I was blown up by a little devil's cannonball, and it seems to have opened my mind! In short, after experiencing these things, I don't quite believe in the officials above, and I still think that I am better at doing it.

As long as I can kill the little devil immediately, I believe that the above will still give me an official rank. No one is restrained, and it is more chic and free to do it yourself. In the future, you can fight the little devils, fight if you want, withdraw if you want to, all rely on your own ideas, how enjoyable? ”

This kind of maverick-sounding idea really surprised Xu Sandao. But he must admit that if he stays in the army, even if he becomes an officer, he still has to obey the orders of the superiors, and there is not much freedom at all.

The army itself pays attention to discipline and obedience. Even if sometimes the orders of the upper echelons are wrong, many grassroots officers and soldiers can only blindly obey. Those who are good at asserting often do not end well.

Just as Xu Sandao was thinking, Hu Biao continued: "Brother, don't think too much, this is just a little idea of mine, whether it can be done is another matter!" But one thing I know very well is that if we go to other troops, I'm afraid it won't be easy to mix.

In our battalion before, I had the company commander and the squad leader to take care of them, and I lived comfortably. But right now, the company commander and they are locked up in the lonely military camp, and if we go to other troops, even if we become officers, we will be a sesame petty officer.

After a long time, who remembers us as little people? Maybe that day, when Shangfeng gave an order, we would go to the battlefield again. Others say that I am blessed and have a great life, but when I go to the battlefield, who dares to say that I will survive?

In the past, we were big soldiers, and if we died, we died, and no one cared. If we become officials, we really have to flee from the battle, and it is easy to lose our lives in addition to being embarrassed. If you really want to die rather than retreat, is there still a chance to live? ”

Perhaps for many big-headed soldiers, it is indeed an honor to be promoted to officer. But for Hu Biao, in the future anti-Japanese battlefield, countless anti-Japanese soldiers will be bloody on the battlefield, how many people can survive?

This kind of thinking seems a bit embarrassing, but Hu Biao feels that it is not ashamed to be afraid of death. What Hu Biao really cares about is that death is worthless. On the contrary, if he chooses to go it alone, it may be easier to contribute to the war of resistance.

Thinking about the Eighth Route Army, which is currently in the northern anti-Japanese war, the guerrilla warfare strategy adopted by the little devil is exhausted. At this moment, on the main battlefield in the south, there are really not many units of the National Revolutionary Army fighting behind enemy lines, and most of them do not understand the essence of guerrilla warfare.

Hu Biao, who had watched a lot of anti-Japanese film and television dramas in his previous life, knew that the Eighth Route Army had formed many military engineering teams behind enemy lines. Although these martial arts teams have few personnel, they have made great contributions to the large army and the Anti-Japanese War, which is even more a headache for the little devils.

The most important thing is that Hu Biao is very clear about his own ability and strength. Although Hu Biao also served as an officer in his previous life, he was only a lieutenant special operations officer. His level of command and combat is very good at best as a regiment commander.

The real large-scale army battle, Hu Biao didn't understand it at all. Compared with staying in the rear to command the battle, Hu Biao was more enthusiastic about going to the battlefield in person. Special operations and small squad operations are the combat modes that Hu Biao is really good at.

As the saying goes, 'to be a man must be self-aware', how can Hu Biao not understand the truth of promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses?

As a result, it was obvious that after listening to Hu Biao's words, Xu Sandao, who had planned to wait for his injuries to heal and then go to the new unit with the battalion commander to take up his post, also became a little hesitant. He still understands the truth that a general is incompetent and kills the three armies.

Asking himself, Xu Sandao suddenly felt that it might not be possible to be a platoon commander if he was a platoon commander. As a sergeant, he has a higher status than an ordinary big-headed soldier, and he can also put on the qualifications of a veteran oil. When you are a platoon leader, you are the lowest officer.

When he really went to the battlefield, what tasks did he have at the top, he was pressed down at all levels, and it was often an officer like him who finally carried out the order. Compared with the casualty figures of ordinary soldiers, the number of casualties of platoon-level officers is also rarely counted!
