Hu Biao also breathed a sigh of relief when he summoned the officers rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp and formed a temporary battalion-level command in the city garrison. According to the latest news from the Military Control Commission, the Japanese army closest to Ju County had already emerged.

This reinforcement unit composed of a squadron is also responsible for the public security control of a county town like the eliminated Japanese army in Juxian. In terms of weapon equipment, there is no difference between the equipment of the Japanese squadron in Juxian.

In addition, several counties near Ju County have begun to take action. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army sent reinforcements to Ju County, and the Japanese troops stationed in the surrounding counties began to deploy defenses and alerts outside the city.

Judging from this, the Japanese army seemed to have planned to completely eliminate Hu Biao and his party in Juxian. As for the Japanese army that was fighting fiercely on the front line, no movement was found. Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese army, the attack in Juxian was purely an accident.

Just send nearby city defense forces to carry out the clearance, and there is no need to use the main forces on the front line. After seeing the information from the Military Control Commission, Hu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was a little unconvinced.

He muttered in his heart: "From the intelligence, the Japanese should not take Juxian seriously. It seems that it is necessary to make a bigger noise to let the Japanese know what it feels like when Sun Wuzi is tossing in his stomach!"

Judging from the overall situation on the battlefield, the Japanese army really didn't need to pay too much attention to Hu Biao and his party. Although the Japanese army was not clear about what happened in Juxian. However, judging from the reports from each city, no trace of the large number of national troops was found.

This also means that the troops attacking the garrison in Ju County may also be defeated or civilians. Given the unclear situation, the Japanese commander responsible for maintaining stability in the rear decided to send a squadron of Japanese troops to Ju County to find out the situation.

If the defeated troops really cause trouble in the city and eventually take the opportunity to capture Juxian, which is guarded by only one squadron, then the squadrons coming to support must defeat or even wipe out this resistance force.

If Juxian was lost due to the civil rebellion, then the Japanese army coming to assist must execute the people involved in the civil rebellion. For the Japanese commanders at this time, they knew that it would be cruel and could not intimidate the people in the occupied areas in the rear.

With the temporarily appointed battalion company-level commander, Hu Biao quickly came to the barracks where the meal was being held. Except for a small number of troops patrolling and guarding the city, most of the rescued prisoners of war were staying in the barracks to eat.

When they saw Hu Biao and his party walking into the military camp, the prisoners of war who had just experienced a battle seemed very excited. In addition, Hu Biao ordered that everyone eat this meal openly, and the prisoners of war who had not eaten enough for a long time naturally had to have a good meal.

Facing the prisoners of war who stood up from time to time, Hu Biao also said politely: "Hello! Let go of eating, just don't be overwhelmed!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Sit down and continue eating! A month ago, I am like you, and I am also a big soldier. Everyone hurry up and we will prepare to set off after dinner. We will have enough food this time and we will have the strength to fight later!"

"Yes, sir!"

When the prisoners of war stood up and asked him, they squatted down and continued to eat, Hu Biao could hear these prisoners of war start to discuss privately. Many prisoners of war still seemed somewhat confused about what to do next.

Most of these prisoners of war detained in Juxian were not locals. From being dragged to the battlefield to being detained by the Japanese army, the soldiers were not clear about the surrounding situation. Even if they wanted to escape, they didn't know where they should go.

But there were still prisoners of war who felt that they had finally saved their lives and did not want to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese again. If possible, they also planned to find an opportunity to be deserters, put on makeup and hide secretly, and find an opportunity to go back to their hometown.

Hu Biao, who knew this, was not too anxious. He called Xu Sandao and others to his side, and then made a secret arrangement. At the previous officer meeting, Xu Sandao had been appointed as the guard platoon leader by Hu Biao.

As for the deputy platoon leader, Hu Minyi, who Xu Sandao admires more. The four squad leaders of the guard platoon were Qin Tianyou, Chen Qiang, Xu Cheng and Du Dajiang. Huang Ershuan and Tian Tiezhu temporarily acted as Hu Biao's personal guards.

The remaining Sun Erxi served as the communications camp for the avenge camp. The eight people who came out with Hu Biao were all following Hu Biao without exception. Hu Biao was left to Xu Sandao and others to take charge of the selection of personnel from the guard platoon.

On the way to the military camp earlier, Hu Biao explained to Xu Sandao: "The guard platoon is tentatively 40 people, and you can choose these forty people in the entire camp. If you can't choose enough, then it's temporarily free and don't worry.

When we really join the main force in the future, I will only take away the guard platoon who is willing to follow us. You must all remember that the current positions are temporary. The soldiers who are commanding now also need to be transferred to command in the future.

Only those who are selected into the guard platoon are the real targets we need to win over. Those soldiers with good shooting skills and good skills can be recruited first. If they don’t want to, we don’t force it, do you understand?"

"I understand! It's just to recruit people to expand our team. Is that what it means?"

"That's right! The nine of us alone are far from enough to fight behind enemy lines. Therefore, we also need to recruit like-minded people. These people must have a belief in their character and good pistol skills, and cannot be a drag on the team.

In short, remember what I emphasized to you before that in the future, the members of our team must have the strength to be ten. Strength and character are indispensable. Compared with strength, I value character more. Do you understand?"

"I understand! Don't worry! After two successful rescues of prisoners of war, those soldiers admire us very much. Especially the captain, they all think you are a hero. If you can be by your side, I believe they will be happy."

"Don't treat me as a hero! The real heroes are those unsung heroes who died in battle and sacrificed their lives for the country. We just need to fulfill our duties as soldiers. We will give the title of hero to whom we want. We don't want it! Do you understand if you shoot the first bird?"

Low-key is the king!

Hu Biao thinks that this is reasonable. You can be a little low-key in life, but you must be high-profile in doing things. Even if you become famous behind enemy lines in the future, Hu Biao will put the credit on the team, not on the individual.

After having dinner with the newly appointed officers, Hu Biao found a separate time and called Tian Sili to his side and said, "I need to reorganize the troops later. You will still be in charge of the people you led before.

During the reorganization period, you will take over the city defense and maintain public security on the street. There is another thing you need to do in person. You will buy all the clothes and fabrics of the ready-to-wear shop in the city, and buy more bacon and poultry.

You can buy some supplies that the troops can use to store. In the future, it will be difficult for us to replenish supplies. Buying more things to prepare is also considered as a precaution. If you have money, spend it from the money we seized.

Tell your subordinates not to do things like buying and selling forcing them. If possible, tell the people in the city that once we leave, it is best to go to the countryside to avoid it. The Japanese will definitely take revenge when they return to the city."

"Please rest assured to ensure that the task is completed! Whoever dares to do anything randomly, I will be the first to refuse him!"

Knowing that Hu Biao handed over this task to him was also a kind of trust in him. Tian Sili also understood that if he wanted to return to the rear alive and still retain his current position, or even earned meritorious service and received awards, he had to rely on Hu Biao.

From his ability to command operations to his personal combat strength, Tian Sili felt inferior. Most importantly, Hu Biao proved with practical actions that he did have a good job in fighting Japanese devils, and secondly, he was very kind-hearted!

When fighting with such a person, at least you don’t have to worry about taking the blame or being betrayed. Moreover, Hu Biao did not appoint him as deputy battalion commander, but let him serve as the company commander of the first company. Even if the other two companies are reorganized, their strength is not as strong as him.

After handing over the raising of materials and the aftermath to Tian Sili, Hu Biao called Xu Sandao to his side. He asked him to lead some people from the guard platoon, and then asked Tian Sili to transfer a platoon of troops out of the city in advance to reconnaise the terrain.

In Hu Biao's view, if you want to get rid of the Japanese pursuit, it must be resolved and the Japanese reinforcements that will arrive in Ju County soon. Hu Biao felt that a squadron of Japanese troops should be eliminated if he had a good arrangement.

Destroying the Japanese army that came to support, the county town stationed by this Japanese army was like Hu Biao opening the door. What Hu Biao had to do was to take down this fake county town, take the opportunity to supply some, and even replenish some troops.

According to the information sent by the Military Control Commission, the Japanese soldiers who were fighting on the front line were mostly imprisoned by the anti-Japanese officers and soldiers captured from the battlefield in the rear county town. The Japanese soldiers stationed in the county town also temporarily acted as guards of the prisoner-of-war camp.

According to the Japanese army's plan, it is estimated that they want to wait until the war on the front line is pacified and then find ways to instigate these imprisoned prisoners of war. Those who surrender will be reorganized into the Imperial Army and cooperate with the Japanese army to control the local area. Those who fail to surrender will act as a hard worker to exploit the surplus value.
