Although there are certain risks when hiking through the yellow flood area, compared to the risk of breaking the dam, the danger level of the disaster area after the flood has receded is not too high. To be honest, it is that there is no population in many places.

The large amount of yellow sand washed over by the flood buried the former fertile fields and villages. The silt left behind also brought a lot of trouble to Hu Biao and his party who was hiking. Fortunately, this difficulty is nothing to Hu Biao and his party.

Although a large number of victims in the Yellow River Flood Area were displaced and chose to flee, there were still some places where some surviving villages could be seen. Even in some mountains, Hu Biao encountered bandits who robbed them.

Hu Biao was merciless in dealing with such bandits who stayed in the Yellow River Flood Zone and survived by robbing the victims of the past. After spending nearly a week, Hu Biao and his party finally arrived on the other side of the Yellow River Flood Zone and also saw the rescue team coming to greet him.

Compared with the previous rescue team, the rescue team sent to the territory of Haozhou at this moment also encountered many difficulties. The only thing that made Hu Biao a little satisfied was that the food he had previously entrusted to the Eighth Route Army to gather, which indeed rescued many victims.

Even because of this incident, the Eighth Route Army also speculated whether Hu Biao had known that the Yellow River would burst, so that the Eighth Route Army would not have to pay for medicines, but instead asked them to use money to purchase grain and transport the food to the victims to help the victims.

Secondly, many victims who escaped from the Yellow River Flood Zone also began to be transferred to the base areas behind enemy lines with the help of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. For the Eighth Route Army, although the resettlement of victims is a lot, the future benefits are also quite large.

The Eighth Route Army bought the food that Hu Biao sold medicine money, but let the Eighth Route Army do good deeds. When doing such a thing, the Eighth Route Army naturally did not feel distressed. The most important thing is that Hu Biao never checked the bill, and only expressed his hope that the Eighth Route Army would be trustworthy.

As a representative of the poor, Hu Biao is not very worried about such things. If the Eighth Route Army cannot even do such things well, how can it accomplish such a great cause of national unification?

Even if Hu Biao did not ask them to raise the exchanged food in advance, I believe the Eighth Route Army would do its best to rescue the victims. Now with Hu Biao, the surrender, why not do it if you kill multiple goals in one fell swoop?

In fact, entrusting this kind of moral accumulation and good deeds to the Eighth Route Army is to believe that the Eighth Route Army will fulfill its promise and do it well. Secondly, through this incident, let the Eighth Route Army know that Hu Biao is also a great charity.

Fame is quite useful in this era. Even in the eyes of many Eighth Route Army commanders, Hu Biao seems to be from the National Army. But with this reputation, the Eighth Route Army is not too difficult.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hu Biao will find the Eighth Route Army to cooperate. With this reputation and favor, I believe it will be easier. Connections and affection will take time to accumulate. Hu Biao does this for himself and for his subordinates.

When he arrived at the camp where the rescue team was located, Hu Biao also said directly: "How is the situation in Haozhou?"

"Report to the captain of the detachment, the situation here is relatively complicated, and various anti-Japanese armed forces coexist. There was a large group of Japanese soldiers stationed in the city earlier, but for some reason, the Japanese troops retreated and left here.

At present, there is only one brigade of puppet troops and a squadron of Japanese devils in the city. These troops basically control some important places and county towns around them. When it comes to the countryside and some remote villages and towns, they are occupied by various anti-Japanese armed forces.

Originally, many victims fled to the county town to ask for food, but were massacred by the Japanese. After the news spread, many victims did not dare to approach the county town and could only choose to escape to other places. Therefore, the number of victims here is not large!"

"Three Knife! Get off tonight, send the reconnaissance team tomorrow to find out the situation in the city. Also find someone else to contact the local New Fourth Army guerrillas. Two days later, I will take the Japanese in the city to sacrifice the flag!"

"Yes! Captain!"

Hu Biao was naturally very annoyed when he heard that the Japanese killed even the victims who fled. He had been angry in Yingzhou earlier, but now if he doesn't vent his anger, Hu Biao is also afraid of making him feel frustrated. As for annoying the Japanese army, Hu Biao is really not worried.

According to the information provided by the intelligence station, the Japanese troops who had captured Haozhou earlier put more of the defense focus in Suzhou next to them. In the middle of the two places, the Japanese actually did not deploy many city defense troops.

If the Japanese stationed in Suzhou learn that Haozhou was captured, Hu Biao wouldn't mind and deal with the Japanese in Haozhou. At this stage, the Battle of Wuhan has not yet ended, I believe the Japanese know that there is more important one!

In Hu Biao's view, there is only one Japanese squadron and a puppet army brigade stationed in the county town. There are so many anti-Japanese armed forces who never thought of recapturing the county town. Speaking of which, this may have a lot to do with the anti-Japanese armed forces and private internal struggles.

Without cooperation, other anti-Japanese armed forces could not defeat the county town by their own efforts. But for Hu Biao, he was fully confident that he would wipe out the Japanese detachment he brought to the city and recover the Haozhou occupied by the Japanese army.

As for whom the county town will be handed over to the regaining, he will contact the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army later. If the national army is interested, Hu Biao would not mind handing over the county town to them. What Hu Biao wants is a more practical reward.

At this stage, in such an occupied area, the regained county town is being handed over to the jurisdiction of the New Fourth Army or the Eighth Route Army, which will only intensify the friction between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army. Occasionally taking a step back may be more conducive to the joint war of resistance. However, Hu Biao must discuss this matter first.

After arriving in Haozhou for a short rest, Hu Biao sent several telegrams one after another. When the Eighth Route Army received the telegram from Hu Biao, General Zhu said in surprise: "Why did this guy suddenly run to the place of Haozhou?"

"According to the information we had earlier, after he cooperated with the 51st Army of the Northeast Army to severely damage the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, he secretly met with Bai Chongxi of the Guangxi clique and gave a batch of seized weapons and ammunition to Bai Chongxi for free.

As for what we talked about, it is unknown at present. After leaving Xinyang, we cannot find out his whereabouts. As expected, he should have traveled through the Yellow Flood Zone and just arrived in Haozhou. It seems that he should be an inspection force."

"The number of troops he sent to the Yellow River Flood Zone seems to be small, right?"

"Although there are not many people, they have extremely strong combat power and excellent equipment. What is most admirable is that the troops sent to the Yellow River Flood Zone were more to rescue the victims, and they did a lot of good deeds."

"What does he mean by sending this telegram?"

"Although I can't analyze it for the time being, one thing is certain. The Japanese and puppet troops stationed in Haozhou must be in trouble. With this guy's personality, it would be strange if he doesn't eat this kind of meat that is delivered to his mouth!"

After listening to the Chief of Staff's analysis, Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "As for the current enemy situation, the Japanese army's defense focus is more deployed in the direction of Suzhou. The troops stationed in Haozhou have more symbolic meanings. Unfortunately, the anti-Japanese war power over there is not strong.

In this way, I immediately sent a telegram to Xiao Peng from the guerrilla detachment, asking him to take his troops to Haozhou in person. Didn’t he say earlier that the troops were more difficult to develop? If you deal with this guy well, you should be able to get a lot of benefits.”

"Boss, I'm afraid it's not good if others hear this?"

"What's wrong with this guy? This guy is indeed a rich man. The most important thing is that he always maintains a friendly and cooperative attitude towards us. If it were other people, we would not dare to ask for benefits. If he did, he should strengthen cooperation!"

With the words of Mr. Zhu, the Eighth Route Army quickly called Hu Biao back. After receiving a reply from the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao didn't say much. After a night of rest, Hu Biao brought his troops and soon came to the surroundings of the county town for pre-war reconnaissance.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Hu Biao did not go to the city to reconnaissance himself, but handed over the task to Xu Sandao's reconnaissance team. After so many battles, Hu Biao was relieved that the reconnaissance capabilities of the reconnaissance team were still very at ease.

In the afternoon, the rescue team sent someone to send a message to inform the Eighth Route Army liaison officer that had arrived. After hearing the news, Hu Biao quickly said: "Stay a team of people, and when Lao Xu and the others come out to reconnaissance, I will go back to the base first!"

"Yes, captain!"

When Hu Biao returned to the station, he saw several people who had been waiting for a long time. One of them quickly stepped forward and said, "You are Mr. Hu, right? I am Peng Yufeng, the captain of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment. I will meet with the teacher at the instructions of the boss!"

"Hello, Team Peng! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"That's the case! The boss has always said that Mr. is our best friend. I have heard a lot of things about Mr. Huo earlier, and I finally got the chance to meet him today, so I can get what I want. I just don't know what plans Mr. Huozhou is going to come to Haozhou this time?"

Listening to what the other party said, Hu Biao was also wondering. The reason was very simple. Hu Biao knew a little about the situation of this Captain Peng. To be honest, he was also a military general with outstanding achievements.

Fortunately, in Shanxi, Hu Biao also met with the heroes of President Zhu and other heroes. Now, he didn't seem too excited to see this person. After inviting the other party to take a seat, someone soon brought him tea.

After sitting down, Hu Biao also said directly: "The Peng Detachment is here, so he should have brought the troops here, right?"

"Yes! Our detachment base is in Wobei. Considering that there are many Japanese and puppet troops along the way, I brought a battalion of troops here. If there is anything we can cooperate with, please tell me just by saying it!"

"Actually, it's nothing! I came here this time to see the disaster in the Yellow River Flood. I stayed in Yingzhou for a while, suppressed some bandits, killed some landlords who were unkind, and rescued some fleeing people.

After coming here, I learned that there was only one squadron of Japanese devils in Haozhou City. I planned to kill him and recover Haozhou City by the way. I came to you here, and I hope to discuss with you on this matter and how to take over Haozhou in the future!"

After hearing what Hu Biao said, Peng Yufeng was also very surprised. To him, the meaning of Hu Biao's words was no different from the fact that he had already captured Haozhou City. The problem is that the defensive power of Haozhou City is not weak in his opinion!
