Chapter 36 Selection layer by layer
Compared with the previous air-raid drills that only thunders and rains, Hu Biao's return to the air-raid drills organized by himself finally made the people in Shilong feel pressure. He finally understood that the construction of those air-raid shelters in the county can indeed be used to save lives.
Although the people were a little curious, why did the Japanese devils' planes blew up a barren mountain outside the city without blowing up? However, the previous guns and cannons still made the people around them realize that the consequences would be very serious when they encountered Japanese devils' bombing.
Fortunately, the exercise is an exercise after all, and everything seems to have returned to peace after two days. But with this experience, next time I hear the air defense alarm, I believe that the people in Shillong will seize the time to hide in the air-raid shelter.
And this is exactly the result Hu Biao hopes to see!
As the first batch of purchased machinery and equipment arrived in Shillong one after another, the factories that Qin Tianyou and others had selected had officially entered the production and operation stage. Some of the materials that had been purchased from the market can now be produced directly by themselves.
The River Valley Hydropower Station, which has completed its preliminary exploration, has officially entered the construction state. If everything goes well, Shillong may become the only few county towns in the southwest. With sufficient power supply, all construction will be accelerated.
In order to reserve more military talents, Hu Biao purchased a rifle and bullet production line among the first batch of mechanical equipment. The attached factories were also established in some valleys in Shillong, and troops were stationed on the outside.
As long as the corresponding confidentiality work is done well, Hu Biao believes that this arsenal built in the southwest will not be known in a short time. With the first batch of self-made weapons and equipment troops, Hu Biao's combat troops will be improved.
It was clear that there was not much preparation time left for him, and Hu Biao also accelerated his southwest combat deployment. The elite troops drawn from the inland and cooperated with a small number of new recruits who had completed the training, began to enter the areas controlled by the chieftain one after another.
In the colonies controlled by Britain and France, there are still a large number of toast tribes. In order to maintain the long-term stability of the colonies, the British and French colonial governments also gave these toasts certain rights to maintain their colonial rule.
But Hu Biao knew very well that many of the chieftains migrated from China in the early days. Although they lived in these places for quite some time, they still dare not forget the ancestor of China.
With the infiltration of intelligence departments, Hu Biao had secretly established corresponding military camps among these chieftains. Under the banner of resisting the colonial government, he began to expand his influence in the villages of various chieftains tribes.
In addition to secretly deploying these military camps, Hu Biao also deals with the colonial government on the surface, opening shops in counties controlled by Britain and France. He uses these shops to make friends with those who are power and win over more local poor people.
The infiltration method of combining light and darkness also helped Hu Biao control the movements of the colony. He used the name of the rebel army to continuously erode the military power of the colonial government and expand his influence and control in the colony.
Sitting in Shillong, Hu Biao did not forget to pay attention to the war situation in Suzhou Province. As Hu Biao expected, the National Government, which had not had a major war for more than half a year, seemed to have begun to secretly suppress the development of the Eighth Route Army again.
In addition, the Japanese army also increased its efforts to attack the Eighth Route Army's armed forces behind enemy lines in North China. After receiving these latest information, Hu Biao was silent for a long time. Although he did not want to see such a thing happen, he was still powerless to stop it.
Perhaps deep down, Hu Biao wanted to escape from these things from the moment he decided to retreat to the southwest. Unfortunately, Hu Biao can only protect the people who follow him. He was powerless to do more things.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Biao finally said: "Send a report to the Maling Mountain Base and ask Xu Cheng to transport another batch of medicines to the Eighth Route Army. Secondly, take out half of the weapons and ammunition stored in Zaozhuang and give them to the Qilu Column. Remember to keep it confidential!"
"Yes, wolf head!"
Compared with the National Government's foreign aid, the Eighth Route Army that moved to Yan'an still lived a very shabby life. As a soldier from the people who came from later generations, Hu Biao knew very well that China really needed changes, and the Eighth Route Army did need more support.
As Hu Biao moved his power one after another, the Guangxi faction that had been trading with Hu Biao before was still able to obtain a certain amount of medicine. In terms of the Military Affairs Bureau, there are only a few forces that still maintain cooperative relations with Hu Biao.
On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army, which has been developing behind enemy lines, has become an extremely important channel for its funds and exchange materials through cooperation with Hu Biao. Hu Biao, who knows about these, also intends to give the Eighth Route Army more drug purchase quota.
Hu Biao was unable to intervene in private friction. However, the Japanese army once again assembled heavy troops and prepared to launch a new round of offensive battles, but Hu Biao could not sit idly by. As long as he had the chance, Hu Biao would find an opportunity to hit the Japanese hard.
After receiving a telegram from the Anhuashan camp, Hu Biao summoned Qin Tianyou and others again and said, "The Japanese have begun to assemble heavy troops again. They should plan to attack Xingcheng, the capital of Hunan Province, and all around the surrounding areas. I plan to take this opportunity to go back and have a look.
Although Sandao has established a land channel, there are still some problems with this channel, and the speed of transferring personnel and troops is still a little slow. When I go back this time, I plan to establish more temporary resettlement and material points.
Secondly, the expanded recruits also need more practical baptisms. We cannot participate in the battle of the large corps, and it is still okay to fight and support or ambush. We can not only train the troops, but also seize some supplies.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese army is likely to carry out two-line operations. I plan to go back to the south first, and then bring back the troops that have experienced actual combat, and compete with the Japanese in the southwest. You will still be responsible for the matter here!"
"Yes! It's just a wolf head. How long do you plan to stay when you go back this time?"
"Time is uncertain! When will you come back, it depends on when the Japanese attack on Longzhou. Once the Japanese army launches an attack, I will return as quickly as possible. During this period, don't relax your vigilance, and the troops' training cannot be stopped!"
"yes!"
Knowing that Hu Biao has decided to leave, it is useless to say too much. With Hu Biao in charge, Qin Tianyou, Zhu Chengzong and others can indeed save a lot of trouble. But they all know that Hu Biao cannot stay in Shilong forever.
For Qin Tianyou and others, they only need to be optimistic about Hu Biao's family and execute the orders given by Hu Biao without fail. They may not be able to help with other things. Qin Tianyou and others have long been aware of this.
Considering that the southwest side is also very important, the two task force Hu Biao brought earlier retained one to sit in Shillong, while the remaining combatants returned with Hu Biao. There was also a company's reserve team accompanying him.
After arriving at the southwest, Hu Biao screened the reserve members of the two companies from the migrated commando. One of the companies stayed in Shilong and left it to Qin Tianyou for follow-up training. The other was trained by Hu Biao himself.
At present, in the combat troops sequence under Hu Biao, the village-level guards are considered militia reserves, while the guerrillas belong to conventional troops. Those who enter the guerrillas to participate in the selection and those who have excellent grades will become more elite commandos.
The commando is actually considered a reconnaissance force, and the combat skills that can be mastered are similar to those of later reconnaissance forces. As for the task force, it is a unit that all the commando members yearn for. Many officers leading the troops know the strength of the task force.
But in the task force, many combat team members know that in the future, Hu Biao will form a real killer force, which is the so-called special forces. This layer-by-layer selection can also allow officers and soldiers to maintain active training and combat attitudes.
Correspondingly, every officer and soldier who are promoted to one level will receive corresponding military pay each month. The more capable ones get, which is also what Hu Biao emphasized. With the so-called combat reward pay, the higher the level, the more troops receive.
Still the same as before, Hu Biao did not ask anyone to see him off, and quietly led his troops out of Shillong. Considering that the land marching took longer, Hu Biao still chose to take a steamer and bring the accompanying troops back to Shanghai in batches.
Although the Japanese army strengthened the coastal blockade, passenger ships and cargo ships from various countries that could fly foreign flags could still pass normally. However, if these cargo ships want to dock at ports controlled by the Japanese army, they must undergo investigation by the Japanese army.
In this case, if the materials purchased by the National Government from overseas are transported to coastal ports, they must be prepared to be sealed at any time. Only by relying on foreign ports and then transporting them to the Kuomintang-controlled area by land, the difficulty of transportation of materials will naturally increase several times.
When the passenger ship arrived at the Shanghai Wharf, all the guards who had already changed their clothes were left to protect Hu Biao. The rest of the guards were mixed with the people leaving the port and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Looking at Sun Erxi who had been waiting for a long time in the car and Hu Biao, who had not stayed at the dock, quickly got into the car and said, "Why did you come here in person? Isn't it enough to let your subordinates do this? Are you afraid of being targeted by the Japanese?"
As the person in charge of the operation left behind in Shanghai, Sun Erxi also led a large number of operational team members. Under the command of Sun Erxi, the operational team has already made a great reputation in Shanghai. However, many people still do not know Sun Erxi's true identity.
From beginning to end, Sun Erxi hid behind the scenes to command and plan operations. The Japanese special high school class that suffered repeated losses has not been discovered by Sun Erxi. Many assassinations and assassinations are mistakenly believed to be the work of the Military Commission.
In the face of Hu Biao's inquiry, Sun Erxi, who was used to hiding in the dark, rarely smiled and said: "Except for our old brothers, there are not many people in Shanghai who know me. No one will pay attention to a small person like me!"
"Don't be careless! The Japanese's ability to inquire about information cannot be underestimated! You must know that the job you are doing now, once your identity is exposed, it means that your life will be in danger. I don't want something to happen to you!"
"I understand! I will pay attention in the future!"
As the earliest old subordinate to follow Hu Biao, Sun Erxi also knew how much Hu Biao attached to them. Huang Ershuan, who had sacrificed before, had already made Hu Biao feel guilty. If something happened to them again, Hu Biao would be even more sad!
