Compared to suppressing bandits and punishing local tyrants and evil gentry, Hu Biao is more willing to deal with the Japanese. Even the bandits and local tyrants and evil gentry who are dealing with are mostly guilty, but at least they are compatriots, and Hu Biao will feel uncomfortable if he kills too much.

On the other hand, Hu Biao felt that no matter how many kills, he would not be able to panic. Instead, he would feel extremely happy. At this moment, the number of Japanese and puppet troops in Haozhou City, which was still occupied by the Japanese army, was still quite large.

In addition, according to the situations detected by Xu Sandao and others, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city also stored a lot of materials. Compared with the idea of ​​fighting bandits and landlords, the materials plundered by the Japanese were undoubtedly more pleasant and more.

Peng Yufeng, who was ordered to meet with Hu Biao, learned that Hu Biao was preparing to recover Haozhou City and was very confident, so he naturally would not say much. For him, coming here to establish a base behind enemy lines was also to fight the Japanese.

If the Japanese could get rid of the Haozhou occupied by the Japanese, their contact with the rear would become safer. The base was built in Wobei, and they didn't have to worry about the Japanese sending troops from Haozhou, tracing their rear routes or surrounding them.

But Peng Yufeng still said directly: "Why do Mr. Hu hopes to cooperate with us this time?"

"First of all, you are in the Haozhou side, and I believe there should be underground intelligence organizations and guerrillas. The siege of our department is responsible for the responsibility of the city, and the recovery of Haozhou City must be announced to the public that I only have some spoils seized after the war.

Secondly, let you send someone here, and I hope to discuss how to manage the city after the recovery of Haozhou City. As for the current situation, once the Japanese army learned that Haozhou was recovered, they should send some troops to come.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as the Japanese reinforcements are defeated, they believe that the Japanese will give up the frontier position of Haozhou. Only after the Battle of Wuhan will they gather heavy troops and regain the Haozhou City.

In a short period of time, as long as the Japanese troops stationed in Suzhou do not reinforce, the Japanese in other surrounding small counties, as long as they dare to send troops, I will let them go without a return. I even took this opportunity to take over the small counties they occupied.

Considering your situation, I hope to negotiate with you about the garrison and control arrangements after the recovery of the county town. In my personal opinion, I hope that your forces will not take over these county towns in a short period of time, which will attract more fear."

Although Peng Yufeng in front of him was just a commander of a guerrilla detachment, Hu Biao knew a little that Peng Yufeng's status in the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army was still very high. With his recognition, some things would be easier to discuss.

On the other hand, Peng Yufeng frowned and silent for a while, saying, "Mr. Hu means to regain the reputation of Haozhou City and hand over the power of Haozhou City to the Kuomintang army? Can you give me some reason?"

"The reason is very simple, to avoid suspicion! Although the anti-Japanese forces of all parties are now working together to fight against the Japanese invasion, the Peng Detachment should be clear that the Shancheng and the national army stationed around have always been paying attention to and alert to your development.

For me, I agree with your army's political propositions and development strategies, but I don't want to arouse the disgust of the Shancheng. In my opinion, the more county towns you take over, the more likely it is to arouse the vigilance of the national army.

I won’t say some things, I believe the Peng Detachment knows it. On the surface, there is no big friction between you two, but I believe there should be a lot of small frictions in private. Here, the power of the national army is undoubtedly better."

He explained his opinion very directly, and Hu Biao did not force Peng Yufeng to accept his decision. But he still hoped that properly handling such matters would save the Eighth Route Army from misunderstandings. After all, he did this for the Eighth Route Army!

Fortunately, Peng Yufeng was also very rational, and thought for a while and said, "I need to report this matter to ask for instructions and give me half a day, how about it?"

"No problem! If nothing unexpected happens, I will launch an attack on Haozhou City tomorrow night. When our troops end the battle, your troops will enter the city. I believe that the battle will not disappoint you.

In fact, in my personal opinion, I think it may not be a good thing for you to take over such a large county. On the contrary, it is easy to get the Japanese to focus on it. If you gain some benefits, you can spread your fame and develop your strength in a low-key manner!

At least I have heard that the one you in Yan'an has also proposed a combat strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside. As long as you control the vast rural areas around you, anyone who wants to ensure the stability of the place will also look at your face!"

After explaining these truths, Hu Biao didn't say anything more. Although Peng Yufeng also has the right to make a decision, he also needs to ask the headquarters for instructions on the matter of giving up a county town.

Before leaving, Hu Biao also asked someone to prepare a hundred people's weapons, equipment and ammunition for Peng Yufeng. Peng Yufeng was not polite to accept this gift. After all, Mr. Zhu told him that Hu Biao was a local rich man!

The most important thing is that his guerrilla detachment has not been too long since he came to Haozhou. Although he has formed a team of thousands of people, the troops have a variety of weapons, and the weapons and equipment of these hundred people are enough to equip a main company.

Although Hu Biao cannot change some things, he hopes to reduce some losses as much as possible. At least as far as the current situation is concerned, in terms of the reputation among the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army among the rural people, the reputation of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army is indeed stronger than that of the National Army.

Compared with the combat troops of the National Army, once they are defeated and wander around, some things that harm the people will inevitably happen. On the other hand, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army rarely hear that they are harming the people.

For the Eighth Route Army, which represents the "poor people", it is still better to maintain relations with the poor. In contrast, many landlords and gentry are hostile to the Eighth Route Army, fearing that they will be dealt with by the Eighth Route Army.

The different class forces represented also mean that it is difficult for the two sides to truly integrate. Hu Biao also saw this clearly. In addition, as a time traveler, how could he not know about some of the things that happened at the end of the War of Resistance?

Now, we help the development of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and we also organize people to rescue the victims of the Yellow River Flood, all of which are planning for the future. As more favors are given and more people are saved, this reputation and connection can also become a golden body for protection.

After exploring the reality of Haozhou City, Hu Biao also began to deploy a raid tomorrow night. For the task force, two days and three nights of rest are enough for them to recover their physical strength and spirit. They are really idle, but they are not used to it.

According to the information provided by Xu Sandao, the Japanese army stationed a Japanese army of about 200 people in Haozhou City, followed by a puppet army brigade with nearly 1,000 people. Many of the puppet troops were recruited from earlier city defense forces.

However, after the Japanese army captured Haocheng, this puppet army also did a lot of evil for the Japanese army. Its reputation and reputation in Haozhou were completely bad. This means that these puppet troops should devote themselves to the Japanese.

Of course, this kind of life is limited to officers. I believe many of the ordinary puppet soldiers are just obedient. As long as the officers are dealt with, I believe that these soldiers will surrender very consciously and will not fight the task force.

Even though these puppet troops looked very loyal, the Japanese troops stationed in Haozhou City were still very cautious about them. In Xu Sandao's words, in addition to the normal duty and the puppet troops stationed in the city, the guns and bullets were also separated.

Most of the puppet troops who rest at night only have guns but no ammunition. Only when a battle occurs will the Japanese devils distribute ammunition to them. This is undoubtedly to prevent the counterfeiter uprising and catch the Japanese troops stationed in the city off guard.

After learning about these situations, Hu Biao was more confident in taking over Haozhou City. There was still a daytime period, which was enough for Hu Biao to arrange some ambushes to the city in advance. As for entering the city, it was even more unproblematic.

Although Haozhou City still implements a curfew policy, in fact, most of the troops that patrol or guard the city at night are combined by Japanese and puppet troops. More Japanese troops are stationed in the military camps.

After deploying the combat plan, Hu Biao also said directly: "After the battle, the puppet officers and traitor officials in the city who were very angry were all confiscated. All the money collected was confiscated.

We will leave some of the seized weapons, ammunition and food, and the rest will be left to the New Fourth Army. This food will be distributed to the victims by the rescue team. We don’t have to pay too much attention to the final things and leave them to others to deal with."

"Yes, captain!"

"The next step is to see what actions the Japanese will take. If you have the chance, try to clean up the Japanese who are stationed in Wocheng and Mengcheng. While the Japanese are unable to draw troops, we will try to mix up the water here.

The rescue team takes advantage of the opportunity to rescue the victims and also takes the opportunity to expand the troops. The same rules are still the same. We only recruit elite soldiers. After the quota of one battalion is fully recruited, we will wait for orders at any time. In the future, we will withdraw the rescue team to the northern Jiangsu area!"

According to Hu Biao's earlier plan, his troops would focus more on Suzhou Province. The rescue team was the backbone of the northern Jiangsu region that was about to enter, and the northern Jiangsu region that was about to enter will become Hu Biao's enemy bases.

If the construction of the enemy-behind base in the entire Suzhou Province is completed, Hu Biao believes that in the future, the Japanese will also prepare for chaos in the entire Suzhou Province. The combat effectiveness of his troops will surprise the Japanese.

Peng Yufeng, who left the rescue team's base, immediately sent Hu Biao's suggestions to the Eighth Route Army headquarters. Regarding Hu Biao's suggestions, General Zhu and others also felt that some reason was true, and finally agreed to the plan.

As Hu Biao said, the New Fourth Army gained fame and profit and face were handed over to the national army. I believe that for some officials and garrison commanders who fled to the rear, they were also happy to take over the task of regaining the county town.
