Heroes of the War of Resistance

Under such circumstances, the Japanese army naturally thought that the Xuesha Battalion withdrew to the rear following the main breakout force.Most importantly, after the main force broke through the siege, the Xuexie Battalion stayed in the mountains and did not move, so that the occupied area seemed extraordinarily peaceful.

Except for occasional incidents of bandits looting villages, the Japanese army did not notice the existence of anti-Japanese armed forces behind enemy lines.Most of the Japanese guards dispatched to the counties believed that their primary task was to ensure the stability of the rule in the occupied areas.

Only when the cities to be occupied can be truly used by them, then the main force of the Japanese army can move forward with confidence.After occupying Jinling, the Japanese army once again appealed to the Nationalist government, hoping that Chiang would also lead his troops to surrender.

As a result, it was obvious that Lao Jiang could not agree to this kind of persuasion.Even if he loses in a row, even though he has lost a part of his combat power today, Lao Jiang has also taken this opportunity to control more warlords.

The Red Army, which has always been regarded as a serious problem, has now become the Eighth Route Army under Mao Zedong's command.The Jinsui army, which was powerful earlier, can't even keep its old nest, and has to ask Lao Jiang for help. Although the establishment is still there, its strength has been weakened a lot.

As for the most powerful Northeast Army, it has already been annexed and digested by Lao Jiang, and filled into various troops in the country.The rest of the armed forces of warlords such as the Guangxi Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Yunnan Army are now gathering under the banner of Chiang Kai-shek for the War of Resistance.

At this time, if Lao Jiang agreed to surrender and negotiate with the Japanese army and sign a so-called traitorous agreement, then waiting for Lao Jiang's end, I am afraid that the Japanese army will not need to do anything at all, and those warlords with troops and territories will overthrow him.

Although the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War is still very unfavorable to **.But for Hu Biao, who decided to formally establish the anti-war armed forces behind enemy lines, he focused more on building a solid foundation for the army.

On the second day after returning to Mount Anhua, the first company and the second company of the Xuesha Battalion, which were ordered to open, took the lead in the battle with the guerrilla flag presented by Hu Biao.These two companies will also become the first batch of anti-Japanese seeds sown by the Xuesha Battalion.

Looking at the two high-spirited company commanders, Hu Biao also said earnestly: "When you arrive in the guerrilla zone, don't rush to trouble the little devils, and we will talk about building the base area. If there is anything, remember to contact the battalion department at any time. There are some things , there is no rush!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander! Take care!"

A mortar platoon was added, plus the completed four combat platoons, the company headquarters and the communications squad.The two combat companies that left Anhua Mountain first had a strength of more than 200 people.

In terms of heavy weapons, in addition to mortars, Hu Biao also equipped them with four infantry guns.Coupled with the light and heavy machine guns and grenades equipped, Hu Biao believes that even if they encounter the Japanese squadron stationed there, they will still have the strength to fight.

In the case that the Japanese army in each county did not increase the defenders, both guerrillas should be safe.Although the Japanese army is currently forming the Imperial Association Army to solve the shortage of troops behind them.The Imperial Association Army can be formed, and the Japanese army will also take time.

When the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in each county increased, Hu Biao believed that the strength of the two guerrillas he sent out would also increase accordingly.According to Hu Biao's suggestion, after arriving outside the guerrillas, first suppress the bandits and then form a militia team.

Don't be in a hurry to recruit people to serve as soldiers. Even when guerrillas recruit soldiers, they must report to the battalion headquarters.Without the permission of the battalion headquarters, no one is allowed to expand the troops at will.Even if it needs to be expanded, the recruit training will be carried out at the battalion headquarters.

The guerrillas selected and recommended local young people with clean backgrounds, and then sent these young people to Mount Anhua for training.After the recruit training is over, these recruits are sent down to the guerrillas.This process is also convenient to ensure the purity of the team.

He would rather expand slowly, and Hu Biao does not want to expand indiscriminately, which will lead to chaos in the troops.If some people with bad intentions are really mixed in, it is really possible to bring fatal consequences and threats to the troops.

If they were brought to the battalion headquarters for training, Hu Biao believed that the three-month training for recruits would make these young people who had come out of the mountains better integrate into the guerrillas that recruited them.It will not happen that you don't even know how to aim the gun on the battlefield.

Considering that the two guerrilla zones were newly built, many things had to be started from scratch.Moreover, the establishment of these two guerrilla zones can also play a very good role in helping the battalion headquarters in Anhua Mountain. Naturally, Hu Biao is also very attentive.

Materials, weapons and equipment, and combat personnel are all carefully selected and prepared.In the early stage, the two companies were only responsible for suppressing bandits. If there were no special circumstances, Hu Biao would not allow them to take the initiative to attack the little devils. First, lay a solid foundation for the guerrillas!

If the two guerrilla zones can be successfully established, plus the main force of the battalion staying in Anhuashan, the three teams under Hu Biao's command can form a triangle defense zone.Even if the little devils launched an encirclement and suppression campaign, the troops would have more room to move.

In order to add more confidence to the two companies, Hu Biao divided the most elite guard platoon under his command into two.For the first company going to Chun County, Qin Tianyou led a team to stand in front of him to investigate the situation of bandits around the base area.

As for the team led by Xu Sandao, they sneaked into Ju County to spy on the bandit forces operating in Ju County.Especially the bandit armed forces with great public outrage are all the targets of the guerrillas' suppression this time.

After clearing out the bandits near the guerrilla area, the two guerrilla groups will also operate in the form of banditry in a short period of time.These days, some daring bandits still dare to attack little devils and some traitors.

Most of the time, these bandit armed forces are doing small things, and the number of successes is not many.But if it was Hu Biao, he would either not do it, and once he did it, he must succeed.For a short time, Hu Biao didn't want to anger the Japanese army in control of the county too much.

The two earliest formed companies were sent away overnight, and the originally crowded garrison became much more relaxed.The vacated wooden house also made the officers and soldiers staying at the headquarters feel that there was finally no need for dozens of people to squeeze into a house.

Taking advantage of this time, Hu Biao asked Zhao Bing to take him to discover the mountains with underground caves.According to what Hu Biao knew, there were indeed quite a few karst caves in Suzhou Province.In later generations, many caves have been developed into tourist attractions.

In the war years, if a large cave can be found, it can be used as the best protection and storage place.In order to ensure the safety of the rear hospital to be established in the future, Hu Biao felt that it was most appropriate to build the hospital in the cave.

Arriving at the cave discovered by Zhao Bing's former suppression bandits, Hu Biao and his party, holding torches and flashlights, quickly got into the cave.Looking at the stone pillars hanging in the cave, Hu Biao felt that the cave was really bottomless.

Zhao Bing, who was in charge of leading the way, also smiled and said: "The road in front of this cave is not easy to walk, but the back is getting wider and wider. Especially in the middle, there is a large open space. The supplies of the bandits earlier were placed in that open space .”

When observing the topography of the cave, Hu Biao also irradiated the stream flowing in the cave with a flashlight from time to time, thinking for a while and asked, "Are there any other exits to this cave besides this entrance?"

"I didn't notice it at the time, why don't you take a closer look later?"

In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, Zhao Bing, who had led troops into the cave once before, really didn't know if there was any other exit from the cave.But in Hu Biao's opinion, there should be an exit at the end of the cave.That way, it will be easier to evacuate in case of emergency.

If you really want to be blocked in the cave, even if the enemy can't enter the cave for a short time, and try to blow up the entrance of the cave, then those who stay inside must be dead.In Hu Biao's view, the previous entrance was not that big, and it could easily be blown up and collapsed.

On the way here, Hu Biao was very worried that the cave was a cave with a lot of powder.But now it seems that the condition of the cave is very good, even the groundwater in the cave looks very clear.Having a source of water can also solve many problems.

Standing at the place where the loot was seized, Hu Biao briefly turned around and found that the platform about 300 meters into the cave was really suitable for building a house.Just need to solve the power supply problem, this cave is very suitable as a hospital.

Moreover, Hu Biao could feel that the temperature in the cave was several degrees higher than outside.Most importantly, staying in the cave does not feel boring.This shows that the air circulation in the cave is very good, and there is no need to worry about it becoming depressed when there are too many people.

Seeing Hu Biao's seemingly satisfied expression, Zhao Bing also smiled and said, "Battle Commander, what do you think of this cave?"

"Not bad! This platform is very suitable for building a hospital. At that time, bring some tents and wooden slats from outside the cave, and build a few houses here. Build a few generators, and stay in the cave to recuperate. It should be safe and not easy. Disturbed!"

"It's expensive to install a generator, isn't it?"

"Electric lights must be installed. It is impossible to light more torches or oil lamps. In short, the lighting problem must be guaranteed. Forget it, I will think about what to buy when I return to Shanghai this time, and then I will go ahead and have a look!"

Although there are more troops under his command, there are more things to worry about.Before doing this, Hu Biao was afraid that he would not want to keep these officers and soldiers, but hoped that they could retreat to the rear, so that Hu Biao only needed to recruit some elites.

There are not many people, and the combat is flexible, so there is not much to worry about.But Xu Mingzhi and others unanimously decided to stay, which undoubtedly moved Hu Biao a little.These people trust him so much, how can he live up to the trust of others?

Compared with selecting personnel from the battlefield every time, selecting the elite directly from the combat troops of the Xuesha Battalion may also prevent people with evil intentions from mixing into their own team.This may also be the so-called gain and loss!

Continuing to walk along the cave, the road becomes narrower and narrower.But the wind blowing head-on meant that there must be an exit ahead.As for the narrow road, Hu Biao felt that it would be fine to fix it when the time came.

When the group came to the end of the cave and saw the water flowing into the cave in front and the exit where sunlight could be seen, Hu Biao also felt a little surprised.Although there is not much water flowing into the cave, in the rainy season, the water flowing into the cave will definitely increase sharply.

In this case, whether the cave will be flooded or not must be carefully evaluated.At least from the current inspection situation, Hu Biao is still very satisfied with this cave.Not surprisingly, this place will also become the rear hospital of the shame camp in the future!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Arrangements before departure

The end of the defense of Jinling did not stop the Japanese army from aggression.On the contrary, after occupying Jinling, the Japanese army formulated a new offensive strategy again, and a large number of main combat divisions began to cross the river to attack the area where the army was located.

Hu Biao, who was staying at Anhua Mountain, could also know the current situation on the frontline battlefield through telegram communication with the military command.Fortunately, it took time for the Japanese army to dispatch troops and generals. Although the frontline battle was fierce, the army in charge of defense could still persist.

He knew that even if he went to the battlefield immediately, with the strength of the Xuesha Battalion, nothing could change the situation.Thinking of the previously determined battle plan, Hu Biao felt that there was no rush for this matter, and that he might as well train the troops if he had time.

After three days of military force, Hu Biao selected [-] new team members from nearly [-] subordinates.In addition to the previous security platoon, the newly formed spy company finally broke through the [-]-person mark.

The fighters who were selected were elated, while the fighters who were not selected were depressed, but they knew that the fighters who were selected were indeed stronger.If the skills are not as good as the others and lose, then there is nothing to say.This kind of open selection, many fighters are convinced.

When Xu Sandao and Qin Tianyou returned from the guerrilla zone, Hu Biao once again called a meeting with the company commanders staying in the battalion.The selection of new members of the secret service company is over, and Hu Biao is also preparing to leave for Shanghai.It takes at least half a month to go back and forth.

Looking at the several company commanders sitting there, Hu Biao also said directly: "The things in the battalion are basically arranged pretty much the same, and it's time for me to leave. I guess it will take at least half a month before I can return this time. Let's grow for a month!

When I was not in the battalion, Lao Xu was in charge of the training and combat command of the whole battalion.In a short time, I hope to maintain the status quo, let the soldiers train well, and improve their physical fitness first.In terms of supplies, there should be no shortage in a short time.

According to the telegrams sent back by the first company and the second company, they have gained a lot in suppressing bandits recently.In addition to seizing a large amount of food and living supplies, there is also an ill-gotten fortune.Precious gold and silver, I will also bring a batch back to Shanghai this time, and use it as purchase funds.

The rest of the money will be distributed to each fighter as I said before.Of course, it is estimated that they will not be able to spend the money that has been handed out for a while.At least for a long time, we still cannot move freely. "

"Battalion Commander, it doesn't really matter to us whether we get paid or not. If we stay in the mountains, we have money and no place to spend it!"
