Although the Eighth Route Army is also curious, why Hu Biao shifted his focus to the southwest.But judging from the current battlefield situation, the Southwest is also a new powder keg. I believe that the scale of the war in the Southwest will continue to expand!

After receiving the call back from the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "Do a good job of keeping secrets, and the security level of the base area will be strengthened in the near future. Notify the intelligence team, and when the other party arrives, remember to report the news in time!"

"Yes, Captain!"

With a special task force accompanying him, Hu Biao was very assured of his own safety.In addition, the strength of the guerrillas is not weak. Even if the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang are attracted, I believe Hu Biao can handle it.What's more, this is also the guerrilla zone of the Eighth Route Army.

Compared with the previous two meetings, Hu Biao chose another place outside the mountain.This time, Hu Biao led all the people who participated in the meeting to the real base of the guerrillas.From this attitude, Hu Biao's sincerity can also be seen.

Seeing the machine gun fortresses that can only be seen when you approach the mountain road, the head of the team surnamed Xu was also very surprised and said, "You actually built such a defensive fortress in the mountains! It seems that you are really developing well. !"

"Anyway, this is where our old den is! If we don't build it up, we won't feel at ease living in it. With such fortifications, even if little devils attack us in a big way. We still have enough time to make corresponding defensive counterattacks. measure!"

Building this kind of defensive fortress poured with cement and steel in Dashan naturally required a lot of materials and money.The defensive effect is naturally very good.Even the little devil's mountain cannon can hardly penetrate the defensive fortress.

It is with such complete and solid fortifications that the guerrilla officers and soldiers staying in the mountains can live and train with peace of mind.In addition to beware of the little devil's air attack, it will be easier to deal with sneak attacks or attacks on the ground!

Text Chapter 99 Sincere 'New Year's goods'

Anyone who has been in contact with Hu Biao knows that if there is an urgent matter and wants to contact Hu Biao, the only way is to send a telegram.As for private meetings, they are often invited by Hu Biao.If you want to know Hu Biao's whereabouts, unless you are someone who follows him.

After inspecting the last Zaozhuang base in the north, Hu Biao talked with the Eighth Route Army all night.Early the next morning, I sent away the relevant personnel who came to meet, and I also took the accompanying guard platoon, and quickly left Zaozhuang.

In this case, even if someone tipped off the Japanese army, Hu Biao would have disappeared long ago before the little devil arrived and sent troops to make corresponding arrangements.One can imagine the difficulty of tracking down Hu Biao's whereabouts.

Although Hu Biao also wanted to go to the north to take a walk around and see the future capital city.But Hu Biao knows very well that the current capital city is also under the control of the little devil.There is also a certain risk in going there.

In contrast, at this time, we inspected various guerrilla areas along the way, although they were also in the territory occupied by the Japanese army.But if there is any accident, the accompanying troops alone cannot solve it, and Hu Biao can also mobilize surrounding troops to help in a short time.

At least in Hu Biao's view, he gradually understood that the higher the position, the greater the responsibility.In the past, he would not be afraid to go there.Although I am not afraid now, my subordinates will be worried.What an accident, the consequences are unimaginable.

Everyone knows that the wolf army can continue to operate without anyone, except Hu Biao, the wolf leader.A wolf without a head, how can it run across the mountains and fields and laugh proudly in the jungle?Not being afraid doesn't mean that everything can be done by one's own temper!

Just three days after Hu Biao left the Zaozhuang base area, an elite main force of the Eighth Route Army also came to the guerrilla area of ​​the Eighth Route Army in Zaozhuang.After the troops arrived, they soon arrived at a nearby valley under the leadership of the liaison officer.

Looking at the troops on duty in the valley, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were ordered to come, felt a little curious.The reason is very simple, these warriors wearing common people's clothes should look like elites, but they are different from them.

Before entering the valley, Lin Dingyuan, who was in charge of leading the team, said with a serious expression on his face, "Be clear with the soldiers, don't contact each other casually, let alone ask who the other party is. If you perform this escort mission well, you will be considered meritorious!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Thinking of the previous private meeting with Hu Biao, and thinking of the instructions of the army chief, Lin Dingyuan knew very well that his promotion as a combat staff officer to the current main force commander should have a lot to do with him being Hu Biao's second brother-in-law.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Dingyuan knew in his heart that Hu Biao gave his second brother-in-law a lot of face.Even Hu Biao took the initiative to take over the task of receiving materials this time, hoping that he would escort him to the headquarters.

Looking at the wooden boxes piled up in the valley, and several artillery pieces that can be seen at a glance, the officer who followed to receive the supplies also said happily, "Commander, are these artillery pieces ours?"

"Stop dreaming! These artillery pieces must be handed over to the headquarters. However, our column can also get some. As for our regiment, we should be able to organize an artillery company. Among them, we can also share a few mortars and infantry guns. Door!"

"Really! That's fine too! With the artillery company, we will have artillery support when we fight the little devils in the future!"

As officers of the front-line combat forces, they know the importance of artillery better than anyone else.It is a pity that many equipment of the Eighth Route Army can only be seized through the battlefield.Occasionally, artillery was seized, but most of them also needed to be handed in.

At least many regiment-level combat units are unable to form direct artillery units.Only combat units at the brigade level have artillery directly under them.The more lacking, the more eager the officers are.Seeing so many cannons now, how can you not be tempted!

Just like many generals who have come into contact with Hu Biao, Hu Biao is a very generous person.Originally, this time, Hu Biao only wanted to meet with Lin Dingyuan, but the head of the surname Xu came uninvited to meet with Hu Biao on behalf of the Eighth Route Army.

When the meeting was over, Hu Biao also said directly, "This time the schedule is a bit tight. After sending you off, I will also leave Zaozhuang. Chinese New Year is coming soon. In order to thank you for the friendly cooperation during this period, I also prepared a New Year's goods.

In two days, you can send someone over to receive it.As for how to distribute those New Year's goods, I can't control it.It's just that there are some new year's goods, I hope you can pass them on to Boss Zhu and the leaders in Yan'an.

I know that your Eighth Route Army pays attention to hard work and simplicity, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and you always have to buy new clothes and eat a good meal, right?For those New Year’s goods and supplies, I’d like to trouble you to send them over, it’s my personal sympathy! "

"Thank you! Although I always take your things for nothing, I feel a little embarrassed. But I believe that Mr. Hu knows the situation of our Eighth Route Army. On behalf of the boss and the heads of Yan'an, I would like to thank you first. !"

What Lin Dingyuan didn't expect was that the so-called New Year's goods would have a batch of artillery that the Eighth Route Army lacked most.In addition to light artillery suitable for regiment-level combat troops, Hu Biao also prepared ten [-]-caliber mountain cannons.

Although it is time-consuming and laborious to transfer these artillery pieces, the officers and soldiers who came to receive the supplies have decided that even if they are carried on their shoulders, they must move these mountain artillery pieces back to the army.Presumably, these mountain cannons will stay on the side of the column.

After all, to transfer the relatively bulky mountain artillery to the headquarters hundreds of miles away, there is a high probability of being discovered by the Japanese army along the way.Once discovered by the Japanese army, it will definitely be intercepted.At that time, it will be difficult to keep these mountain cannons.

In contrast, most of those mortars and infantry guns can be disassembled and assembled.As long as there are enough manpower and carefully avoiding places where Japanese troops are interrogating, they can be safely delivered to the headquarters.This point, the headquarters should also know.

In addition to artillery, the Japanese army also equipped a lot of light and heavy machine guns, plus [-] Thompson submachine guns.The officers who opened the boxes to check these weapons, when they saw these weapons, most of them felt that it would be great if they belonged to their own regiment!

Aside from these weapons and ammunition for the troops, the things in the remaining wooden boxes are real New Year's goods.Needless to say, cigarettes and alcohol, they were all prepared by Hu Biao for the heads of the headquarters, as well as some daily necessities.

What surprised Lin Dingyuan the most was that among these so-called New Year's goods, there were ten brand new radio stations.Although the Eighth Route Army has been cooperating with Hu Biao to purchase radio stations, the price of each radio station is indeed not cheap.

In addition, the Eighth Route Army is expanding its troops at a very high speed, even though some people thought earlier that it was possible to equip radio stations with regiment-level combat troops.As a result, the number of purchased radio stations still cannot meet the radio needs of all the main groups.

Now there are ten new radio stations, and it is believed that there will be ten new main groups, all of which will be equipped with radio stations.As the main regiment leader, Lin Dingyuan knows very well that a radio station is really important for regiment-level combat troops.

Especially for those regiment-level combat units that are far away from the brigade headquarters or columns, they can only rely on horseback notification for any combat missions.This method of communication will undoubtedly bring heavy losses to operations.With a radio station, you can contact and communicate in time!

"Good stuff! These ten radio stations must be kept properly!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After counting the materials handed over on the list, the guerrilla leader who was in charge of contacting Lin Dingyuan also smiled and said, "Commander Lin, I don't miss anything on this list. Please sign and I will report to the detachment leader when the time comes." !"

"Thank you! I will trouble you!"

"It's okay! Although these weapons and equipment, I am a little jealous. But I know that your Eighth Route Army needs these weapons and ammunition more than we do. I only hope that if we have any difficulties in the future, you can lend a helping hand in time!"

"It's natural! We are all anti-Japanese troops. When there is a real need, we will do our best to help!"

For many of the Eighth Route Army behind enemy lines, it is often necessary to be extra cautious when cooperating with other friendly forces.On Qilu's side, the Eighth Route Army is willing to cooperate with Hu Biao's troops.

First, when distributing the loot, both parties can discuss it in advance.Second, when cooperating, each other cooperates sincerely.Compared with other so-called friendly forces, it always feels awkward to cooperate, and it even takes a little more thought.

Lin Dingyuan, who took this list and informed the troops to start transporting the supplies, was also very aware of the importance of these supplies.Even the chief surnamed Xu, who didn't come here in person, said bluntly when he saw this list, "This guy is so majestic!"

Regardless of the value of these materials, Hu Biao's intention alone is enough to make many people admire him.Regardless of Hu Biao's intentions, at least the Eighth Route Army has not found any unreasonable demands from Hu Biao so far.

In short, after receiving the telegram from the Qilu column, the bosses far away in the northwest of Shanxi, as well as several heads in Yan'an, all thought that Hu Biao was a good man, and he was a very generous and good man.

The only thing I feel a little regretful about is that the Eighth Route Army had expressed goodwill and hoped that Hu Biao would join, but Hu Biao declined politely.In fact, in the eyes of many people who know Hu Biao well, there is nothing wrong with Hu Biao not joining.

Hu Biao is now a major general appointed by the national government.When he gets to the Eighth Route Army, what position should he be given?Even if Hu Biao was willing to join, would his subordinates, most of whom were prisoners of war, be willing to join?

In short, with Hu Biao's current strength, it is really difficult to talk about joining.It may not be a wise choice to maintain the current cooperation.As for the future, that can only be left to the future!

Regarding these discussions, Hu Biao, who was on the road almost every day, was naturally not very clear.For Hu Biao, as a soldier of later generations, he respects these anti-Japanese heroes and hopes to do his part.
