The officers and men of the Xuesha Battalion, who had been busy carrying supplies into the mountains all night, did not move all the supplies into the temporary station until the early hours of the morning. Looking at these piles of messy materials, many tired soldiers showed a satisfied expression.

With so many weapons, ammunition and food, it was enough for the officers and men of the Snow Shame Battalion to have no worries about food and clothing in the mountains. You don't have to go out of the mountain, so you won't run into little devils. If they can't touch the little devils, maybe they will be able to live a few days in peace.

Xu Mingzhi, who also didn't rest all night, came back with the last batch of captured weapons and ammunition. Tian Sili and the others, who came back earlier, looked at these weapons and ammunition, and said in surprise: "This is captured by the battalion commander and the guard platoon?" ”

"Well, an infantry brigade reinforced by the little devil was almost completely wiped out by the battalion commander and the guard platoon. These weapons and ammunition are all trophies. This victory, it's unbelievable. And only one person in the guard platoon was killed, one was seriously injured, and two were slightly injured. ”

As a former regimental combat staff officer, Xu Mingzhi knew very well that the main regiment he was in had never made such a record. As far as the current strength of the national army is concerned, when a main regiment meets a Japanese brigade, it is the latter who wins.

Listening to Xu Mingzhi's words, Tian Sili, the appointed company commander, also truly recognized Hu Biao's command ability. Although Hu Biao's method of fighting the war seems somewhat sneaky. The record that can be played is the best proof of this.

really confronted the little devils on the frontal battlefield, and in terms of the current level of equipment and training of the national army, it is indeed not the opponent of the little devils. Only this kind of surprise attack and ambush warfare can enable the anti-Japanese troops to gain a certain combat advantage.

Who would have thought that a main regiment of thousands of people would rarely be able to achieve victory in the face of a Japanese brigade of the same thousands of people. A force of only 50 people, but almost completely annihilated a Japanese brigade.

The soldiers believe that the strong are respected, even if Hu Biao, the battalion commander, is self-appointed, and his actual military rank is lower than that of their main company commanders. But after these battles, these company commanders were also impressed by Hu Biao's methods and command ability.

With these exploits, after returning to the rear, these company commanders are afraid that they will all be promoted. If they were in the old army, each of them would be at least promoted to the third rank. In today's national army, military merit is the capital for promotion.

After listening to Xu Mingzhi's narration, Tian Sili also said in a timely manner: "Battalion deputy, does the battalion commander have any explanation?" ”

"Nothing to say! It's just that he ordered us to stay in the mountains to rest and recuperate for a while, and pay attention to avoiding the aerial reconnaissance of the little devils. In addition, keep an eye on the perimeter of the camp. If a stranger breaks in, they are all arrested and interrogated.

Before the battalion commander returned, even if he accidentally bumped into the people near our camp, he was all imprisoned. Another point is to try not to go out of the forest during the day, and then go out at night to let off steam. For training, the main thing is to learn from the queue and military regulations. ”

It is clear that in front of these main company commanders, the prestige of his battalion deputy is extremely limited. Fortunately, Hu Biao had already talked to these company commanders before, and clearly told these company commanders that when he was away, he must cooperate with Xu Mingzhi's work.

In the final analysis, the only person who can really speak and have a high prestige in the Snow Shame Camp now is Hu Biao. Even if they can win over some fighters, they still can't control the entire company.

Looking at the materials stacked in the forest, Xu Mingzhi frowned a little and said: "The materials are stacked in the open air like this, and it is easy to get wet. Wait and send someone to look around and see if there are any caves or something. When the time comes, move the supplies into the hole and store them.

By the way, the guard post is farther away, and the sentry is not allowed to shoot without my order. robbed the army of the little devils, and it is estimated that the wind outside the mountain is very tight during this time. If we really want the little devil to find the door, we may not be able to stop it. ”

"Understood! I'll arrange it later! ”

"Hmmm! Each of your companies is responsible for one of the four directions of the camp. We have to make sure that no one is allowed to get into our campsite. By the way, the battalion commander also explained before that he would serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the future, and all of them would be eaten dry.

In addition to not making a fire at noon, breakfast should be made early in the morning, and dinner must not start until after dark. At noon, let's eat some dry food. In addition to organizing training, patrol vigilance must be strengthened! ”

"Yes, battalion lieutenant!"

It is clear that before Hu Biao came back, the Snow Shame Battalion did not have any combat mission, and the only task was to hold this batch of captured materials, so that the prisoners of war who had just been rescued from the cage could get enough rest and adjust their mental state.

After dawn, except for the sentries, the rest of the soldiers in the Snow Shame Battalion looked for a place to sleep after eating. A large amount of oilcloth seized from the military columns was distributed to various companies to serve as rain and wind cloths on the tents of the wooden houses.

The beds in the wooden house are all made of straight wood. Spread the bedding bought from the city, and put on the coats of the little devil army that were issued to them. The fighters who live in tents do not have to worry about wind, rain, cold, and cold.

Even for facilities such as toilets, Hu Biao also had a special reminder when he set up a temporary camp earlier. Except for the slightly messy construction of the wooden hut tents, the temporary garrison of the Snow Shame Camp does not look much different from the military camp.

When Xu Mingzhi finished inspecting the guard post and was about to rest, Zheng Jingwu, a newspaper soldier who owned a wooden house alone, also stepped forward in time and said, "Report!" The battalion deputy has just received a telegram from the battalion commander. ”

"It's Xiao Wu! Come on in! What did the battalion commander say? ”

"Thank you, battalion deputy! The battalion commander said in telegram that he had ended the battle and was being transferred. In addition, we must be careful in the near future. This time, the casualties of the little devils are too large, and I am afraid that it will alarm the large army of little devils on the front line. ”

Listening to Zheng Jingwu's report and looking at the translated telegram handed over, Xu Mingzhi said thoughtfully: "I guess that the battalion commander has hit the little devil's reinforcements again this time. I really want to know how big the casualties of the little devils were. ”

"That's right! The battalion commander also explained in the telegram that we should remember to remind the surrounding people not to go to the place where the military train was derailed. The battalion commander said in the telegram that it had become a dead place there. If you break in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out alive. ”

"Okay! I know! Continue to keep in touch with the battalion commander, and send me telegrams and instructions from the battalion commander as soon as possible. On your side, if you have any personal needs, just let me know! ”

"Thank you, battalion deputy! I eat well and sleep well, and I'm already very satisfied. ”

Zheng Jingwu, who has squatted in prison, looks back on his days in prison and is indeed very satisfied with his current life. The most important thing is that he, an intern operator, stood alone when he arrived at the Snow Shame Camp and became a technical talent that the battalion commander valued.

Although Hu Biao failed to return with the troops, the Xue Shame Battalion still behaved very calmly with the efforts of Xu Mingzhi and several company commanders. The troops in charge of patrolling soon found a cave that could hold a large amount of supplies.

In view of the importance of supplies, Xu Mingzhi finally dispatched a logistics company to build a temporary camp near the cave. The two camps are less than two miles apart, so if there is any situation, they can respond to the support in time.

On top of that, the location of the cave is also very hidden. If there is an unexpected situation, the Snow Shame Camp can also move the camp back, relying on the terrain advantage on this side of the cave to block the little devils who may enter the mountain to encircle and suppress.

In order to find something to do for the soldiers in the battalion, in addition to organizing queue training and learning during the day, Xu Mingzhi also gave full play to his own advantages as an officer. Around the vicinity of the temporary station, several machine-gun positions and concealed trenches were constructed.

Although it is not clear how long they will stay in Anhua Mountain, Xu Mingzhi must ensure that once the little devil enters the mountain to encircle and suppress, they can stop the little devil for a while. In other words, the little devils who went into the mountains to encircle and suppress were all annihilated.

Occupy the terrain advantage, and the weapons and equipment are not inferior to the little devils. In addition, the station is built in the mountains, and although the little devils can use planes, they can't use artillery at all. Even if the bomb is dropped in the air, it is believed that it will be difficult for the little devil to find an accurate target.

Regarding Hu Biao's account that it is possible to bring the Xuesha camp in the future to meet the breakthrough of the troops defending the city, Xu Mingzhi did not tell several company commanders. Now, he felt, was not the time. If you talk about it in advance, it is easy to arouse the disgust of the fighters.

Just got out of the cage, and now let them go to the front again, or to take over the main force defending the city. This kind of battle is not easy to fight at all. Now the construction of more trenches and machine-gun positions is also to prepare for the entry of large troops into the mountains.

With these trenches and machine-gun positions repaired in advance, the troops that block the pursuit of the little devils in the future will have a better chance of winning. Even Xu Mingzhi sometimes thinks that if he really can't return to the old army, then he will lead the troops to stay here to fight guerrillas.

The location of Anhua Mountain is stuck between Nanjing and Runzhou. If the little devils occupy Nanjing, then there will be no shortage of contacts between the two places. If you want to supply on the battlefield, you shouldn't have to worry about finding a chance.

As long as there are sufficient supplies, Xu Mingzhi can recruit troops here and form more anti-war troops. With the terrain advantage of Anhua Mountain, Xu Mingzhi is also confident that the little devil will be exhausted, but he will not be able to wipe it out!

But the plan is sometimes not as good as the change after all, and the future path of the Snow Shame Camp will eventually have to be decided by Hu Biao. Even Xu Mingzhi, who was the deputy battalion commander, could not force everyone to stay behind and stay with him in the mountains to fight guerrillas.

Everyone knows that drilling into the ravine to fight guerrilla warfare is the skill of the Eighth Route Army!
