Heroes of the War of Resistance

If they don't go home or return to the old army, for outsiders like Du Yunfei, they can only choose to become bandits.In addition, perhaps only by following Hu Biao can they feel that they can live with more dignity and dignity.

After Du Yunfei took the lead in saying the words to stay, Hu Biao continued to smile and said, looking at the other officers who were still hesitant and entangled: "Whoever is willing to stay, Mr. Hu welcomes with both hands. In fact, all my subordinates are without exception. It's a freed prisoner of war.

When you come to my army, you don't have to worry about being looked down upon, and no one will hold you accountable for being prisoners of war.There is just one thing I have to say in advance, that is, if you mix with me, your identities may not be recognized by the government.

To put it bluntly, I have the final say on my task force and troops.Even the Generalissimo has no right to command my troops.And my troops, without exception, are behind enemy lines and will face the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army at any time.

If you choose to stay and fight the devils with me, I will provide you with all your combat needs and military pay.What you have to pay is to be loyal to me, to the country and the nation.If you don't want to, I won't force it! "

To Hu Biao's surprise, after hearing what Hu Biao said, an officer soon asked, "Sir, are you from the Eight Route Army?"

In the eyes of these officers, the only anti-war troops that did not obey Chiang's command and dispatch were the Eighth Route Army that opposed Chiang.The Eighth Route Army has been active in the enemy's rear, and it sounds like Hu Biao's troops, with similar combat methods and situations.

Hearing this question, Hu Biao shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not the Eighth Route Army! In fact, a year ago, I was only a first-class soldier. I participated in the Battle of Songhu and was the last batch of combat troops to withdraw from Shanghai.

It is a pity that we stood firm until the last moment, but when we were ordered to withdraw to the concession, my old officer and brother were both disarmed by foreign devils and are still being imprisoned in Shanghai.From that day on, I no longer believed in those above.

In order to rescue the old officers and comrades who were imprisoned, I led a group of people into the enemy's rear and rescued many prisoners of war like you.Later, he led them to participate in the Jinling Defense Battle and the Xuzhou Battle, and continued to fight devils in the war of resistance.

This time leading his troops into Anhui Province, he also did his duty as a soldier to fight devils.Before rescuing you, I led my troops and the guerrillas of the New Fourth Army to capture Chucheng and Luzhou City, which were occupied by the little devils, and seized a large amount of combat materials.

It was originally planned to send this batch of supplies to Huoshan to strengthen the strength of the troops fighting there.Passing through Shucheng, I learned that you were imprisoned here, so I wanted to rescue you and strengthen myself.

If you are willing to join my forces, I cannot guarantee your safety.I can only tell you that as long as you obey orders and command, you will fight devils with me sincerely.If I have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry! "

"Sir, did you take down Luzhou City?"

"That's right! It happened last night! It's a pity that the Japanese infantry unit stationed in Luzhou City was not wiped out last night. However, this infantry unit was also disabled by Lao Tzu. Before saving you, Xiao Devils are sending a wing to reinforce.

If the little devil finds out, we'll take Shucheng down tonight and rescue you.Maybe, they will send the main force back to aid the encirclement and suppression.As long as there are not many troops coming, I have a way to disable them. "

If other people said such things, I am afraid that many prisoners of war officers would feel that the other party was talking big.But the prisoners of war officers who cooperated in the battle tonight have all witnessed the combat strength of the officers and soldiers of the task force, and they didn't feel that this was a lie.

Even many prisoners of war officers who chose to stay decided to join after seeing the combat strength of the task force with their own eyes.Soldiers respect the strong and follow the strong to fight. They all feel safer and more honored.

Under Hu Biao's heart-to-heart narration, the summoned officers, without exception, expressed their willingness to join the task force.Hu Biao was also very satisfied with this, but still said: "Thank you for your trust, but this is just your choice."

Just when the officers were curious, Hu Biao continued: "When you go back later, call the soldiers of the company and talk about this matter. As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, and you also need to listen to the true thoughts of the soldiers. .

Those who are willing to return to the old army, I will ask someone to send them back to the original army when they get to Huoshan.For those who decide to go home, I will send travel expenses and dry food.Those who are willing to stay must be prepared to endure hardships.I am very picky about recruiting troops! "

Many military officers were puzzled by what Hu Biao said, but also moved.If it were other anti-Japanese troops, if they really wanted to annex them, they would not ask the opinions of those leading soldiers at all.

When Hu Biao came here, he not only solicited the opinions of the officers, but also respected the true thoughts of ordinary soldiers.And Hu Biao did this for the stability of the army, and more for a clear conscience.

In war, after all, people will die.If these prisoners of war choose to join the task force, then Hu Biao has to consider their safety.If someone is unwilling to join the task force, why should he force it?

At the end of the temporary meeting, Hu Biao asked these prisoners of war officers to return to their temporary companies, and called a meeting of his subordinates to announce the matter.Hearing that these officers have made the decision to join, ordinary soldiers who are also not stupid will naturally not choose to leave.

The reason is also very simple, in fact, whether they like it or not.Here and now, they have no other better choice.If officers choose to leave, then they also choose to follow.In the enemy's rear, the only way to survive is to hold together for warmth.

Even if Hu Biao gave them travel expenses and dry food, for some prisoners of war whose families are thousands of miles away, how long will it take them to go home?On the way home, no matter whether they encountered the Japanese army or the national army, they had nothing good to eat.

That being the case, it's better to hang out with the task force and other comrades in arms.Perhaps as some prisoners of war said, it was not easy for them to recover their lives.Now it is only right to work for Hu Biao!

Hu Biao also felt very satisfied after hearing the reports from the prisoners of war officers.Taking advantage of the opportunity to eat and rest, arrange combat team members to change clothes for all prisoners of war.Take a shower, change and clean clothes, and prepare to leave Shucheng after having a full meal.

Seeing the thousands of extra troops, Hu Biao and the officers and soldiers of the task force were very happy.In their view, with a little training, these prisoners of war will become a new anti-war force under Hu Biao's command!

Chapter List Chapter [-] Prepare for anti-sweeping

The Japanese infantry unit that reinforced Luzhou City had not yet arrived in Luzhou, but the task force that came out of Luzhou changed hands and captured Shucheng, which was occupied by the Japanese army.Still before dawn, all the combatants left the city and marched towards Huoshan.

Looking at the convoy and troops going away, the hundreds of prisoners of war who were finally released had an extremely bitter expression on their faces.Even if one life is saved, these prisoners of war still know that it is still unknown whether they will be able to make it home alive.

Even when Hu Biao was leaving, he was given ten oceans and three days of dry food, and even a few rifles and pistols.But if they really want to go home, this little money and food may not be able to support them to return to their hometown.

They looked at each other, and soon someone said: "Brothers, what's the next step? They're all gone. If we don't leave, if we really let the little devils catch us, we probably have no way to survive? Or, we Let's go first!"

The task force and the prisoner company left the city, and the entire Shucheng became an empty city again.But the remaining hundreds of prisoners of war knew that once the little devil learned that Shucheng had fallen and the prisoners of war were rescued, he would definitely mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress them.

As members of the prisoner-of-war camp, when they were rescued, they made a decision to surrender, which was eventually abandoned by Hu Biao.This profound lesson also tells these prisoners of war that as adults, they need to be responsible for the decisions they make.

Before leaving, Hu Biao had only one sentence to these prisoners of war, and that was, "Forgive your life, because you are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and you haven't done anything harmful to the world."If we meet on the battlefield next time, I hope we will not become enemies. '

The meaning of these words is very clear, that is to warn these prisoners of war not to think about joining the little devils.In fact, these prisoners of war also knew in their hearts that even if they went to report to the little devil at this time, they would not end well in the end.

The little devil who became angry from embarrassment was merciless in killing people.If you really want to report to the little devil, it is very likely to become an act of courting death.Out of this concern, hundreds of prisoners of war felt that it was better to leave Shucheng as soon as possible.

But soon someone said: "Where shall we go next? Back to our hometown?"

"Going back to my hometown? How? Right now, there is a lot of chaos everywhere. Even if we change the clothes of the common people, it will be very difficult to hide it from the little devils. Find a place to rest first, and then think of another way. If it doesn't work, then go up the mountain!"

The so-called going up the mountain naturally refers to being a bandit.In this era, there are many defeated soldiers who choose to go up the mountain and fall into the grass as bandits.With the weapons Hu Biao left for them to defend themselves, these prisoners of war felt that they should be able to survive as the king of the mountain.

Hu Biao, who had already left on the road, would not care what these prisoners of war chose.If these people are really stubborn, they will pay the price for their mistakes sooner or later.Near Shucheng, there are also guerrillas of the New Fourth Army active.

If you really want to go up the mountain and become a bandit, you will also become the target of the guerrillas.Correspondingly, if they finally choose to accept the little devil's offer.When the little devils surrender in the future, they will also be the target of liquidation.

Hu Biao, who temporarily reorganized the rescued thousands of prisoners of war into six combat companies, did not break up the officers and soldiers of the task force and organize them into prisoner-of-war companies.In Hu Biao's view, the combat strength of the prisoner-of-war company is limited, and the main force depends on the special detachment.

After taking a shower, changing into clean clothes and having a full meal, the prisoners of war who were marching with the army were all very excited.Following the car transporting supplies, Hu Biao and his party finally arrived at the border area between Shucheng and Huoshan, and the sky gradually brightened.

Seeing this scene, Hu Biao also said directly: "Notify the troops, go to the mountain to camp! We will go there after contacting the troops of the No. 20 Sixth Army. Let the reconnaissance team continue to move forward, and the rest of the troops go to the mountains to rest!"

"Detachment Captain, let's rest here, the little devils should come after us later, right?"

"Don't worry! Now Luzhou and Chucheng are having accidents one after another, and the main force of the little devil's division attacking Lu'an will also have problems with supplies. If these problems are not resolved, the little devils dare not march easily, and there are many troops stationed in Huoshan! "

Without contacting Xu Yuanquan's troops in advance, Hu Biao would not take the troops in rashly.In fact, Hu Biao came to Huoshan more to deliver supplies, and did not seek shelter from Xu Yuanquan.If possible, Hu Biao will lead his troops to the vicinity of Lu'an City.

The main force of the little devil's division is currently stationed near Lu'an.At this moment, there are still two main divisions of the National Revolutionary Army in Lu'an City.If the little devil wants to capture Lu'an, he must ensure the stability of the rear.

If the war is really going to be deadlocked, I'm afraid that the little devil will also be worried, and will fall into a situation of two sides attacking.Accompanied by Hu Biao, he went down to Chuzhou and Luzhou.The garrison that the little devil stayed behind could no longer control the stability of the occupied area.

Moreover, earlier Hu Biao had already suggested to the New Fourth Army to take advantage of this rare opportunity to launch a road raid and harassment war.The main force of the Japanese army divisions advancing into Lu'an, it may be difficult to receive supplies from the rear.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is somewhat impossible to eliminate the main force of the Japanese army divisions advancing into Lu'an.But Hu Biao thinks it should not be a big problem to give the little devil some trouble.The premise is that he needs the cooperation of more troops.

This time, he brought a lot of supplies to Huoshan, more to build a good relationship with Xu Yuanquan.As the saying goes, cannibals have short mouths and soft hands.After taking the things Hu Biao sent, if Hu Biao really needed it, Xu Yuanquan would not hesitate to help.

What's more, when Xu Yuanquan really wants to send troops, Hu Biao will also ask the military command or the fifth theater to issue corresponding combat orders.No matter Dai Li or Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi from the Fifth War Zone, the relationship with Hu Biao is still very good at the moment.

If it is on the side of Anhui Province, it can really contain more of the main force of the Japanese army, and it can also reduce the pressure on the main battlefield in Wuhan.From the perspective of the overall situation of the battlefield, this is also the situation that the anti-Japanese generals also hope to see.If no one cooperates, Hu Biao believes that self-protection is still no problem.

Entering the valley for temporary rest, Hu Biao began to ask people to set up tents.Looking at the tents set up one after another, many prisoners of war felt that the task force was very particular about rest and recuperation.This kind of marching tent was relatively rare in the military in the past.

Most of the time when marching outside, the anti-Japanese troops would camp in villages or towns to rest.If you don't see the village and the town, you can only spend one night in the wild.It is really rare to see camps like this in the task force.
