After a full meal, I received a reward before going to the battlefield. The morale of hundreds of prisoners of war who were rescued also increased. Even if many prisoners of war were worried about the upcoming battle, I knew that fear was useless at this time.

Since they had chosen to stay, they had to be mentally prepared to die at any time. Even when they attacked the Japanese military camp and the city garrison, prisoners of war were still unfortunately sacrificed. Hu Biao also asked someone to register them.

He even sent people to the city to buy coffins for the soldiers who fell into the battle and buried the soldiers in the mountains outside the Juxian formation. This practice still made the prisoners of war who witnessed all this with their own eyes grateful.

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who led his troops out of the city, took advantage of the opportunity of burying the fallen soldiers and pulled all the reorganized prisoners of war out of the city. Those who had chosen to leave before left from the other end of the city gate and embarked on a long road of escape.

Including those officers before, Hu Biao gave food, clothes, self-defense pistols before leaving, and gave them ten yuan. Seeing these things, the officers also felt that their faces were so hot.

I think they were really a villain before!

What embarrassed them the most was that they already knew about Hu Biao’s cooperative relationship with the Military Control Commission from other officers. Even if they returned safely to the rear, they would regard them as deserters in the hearts of their direct commanders.

Facing an officer begging, "Captain Hu, we also want to fight the Japanese with you, is that okay?"

"Sorry! You have made a choice before, so you must be responsible for your choice. If you really want to contribute to the War of Resistance, then take these wounded people away. We are ahead to attract the attention of the Japanese."

Hu Biao's refusal still made these officers feel frustrated. Fortunately, Hu Biao asked them to escort the wounded away, which was also considered as giving them a chance to redeem their sins. As long as the wounded were sent to the rear safely, it can still be regarded as a meritorious service in the War of Resistance.

Zhao Xian, who was in charge of the radio station of the Avenge Camp, also handed a note at the right time and said: "After leaving the city, someone will pick you up outside the city. At that time, the guide Battalion Commander Hu was looking for for you was also an informant of our Military Control Commission. He would take you to avoid the Japanese!"

Hu Biao felt it would be more troublesome to take these minor and serious wounded people on the road. Next, Hu Biao and his party had to transfer quickly, and often they had to jump out of the Japanese before they formed a siege.

Although Hu Biao could choose a relatively safe route like these departing prisoners of war. But Hu Biao knew better that blind retreating would only make the avenge camp appear more embarrassed. Only by fighting can we wash away the shame.

Kill the Japanese to wash away the shame and prove to the top that they are still soldiers of the War of Resistance. Only in this way can they not be excluded when the Avenge Camp meets with the main force. They can even take this opportunity to gain more attention.

After arranging the matters related to the retreat, Hu Biao and his party carried the coffin of the prisoners of war in the sacrificial manner and walked out of the county town openly. The logistics support company commanded by Zhao Bing continued to stay in the city and waited for an hour before leaving the city.

Hu Biao asked the soldiers to carry the supplies they purchased earlier, so the soldiers could carry them on their own. The others that could not be carried were placed on three cars. The cattle, horse and carriage collected were all used to transport supplies.

The troops were divided into marching to confuse the Japanese's reconnaissance. After the simple burial ceremony, looking at the solemn warrior, Hu Biao waved his hand and said, "All camp, set off!"

Although the military appearance does not look very complete, most of the soldiers were wearing Japanese military uniforms, and there were many soldiers wearing national military uniforms in the middle. However, the expressions on the soldiers' faces were much more confident and serious than when they were rescued.

After walking along the official road for more than an hour, Hu Biao finally saw Xu Sandao who left the city in advance. After listening to the other party's report, Hu Biao thought for a while and said, "How long is the Japanese devils still away from us?"

"If we continue to move forward, at most another hour, we will bump into the Japanese head-on. I looked at it from a distance and saw that the Japanese marched very fast and were moving forward lightly."

"Light forward! Where are the weapons and equipment?"

"It seems that there are several mortars and heavy machine guns, but the other artillery has not been seen, so the number of people should be a squadron!"

"Okay! I understand! Thank you for your hard work, you go back immediately now, and I will bring people here later. Since the Japanese are moving forward with light clothes, let's fight an ambush, kill these Japanese and then continue moving forward.

Going back, there must be a Japanese blocking force ahead. If they were allowed to attack each other, we would be in trouble. The brave ones will win when they meet on a narrow road. Kill these Japanese soldiers and we will go to Lincheng to rest tonight!”

"Yes! On the way I came just now, I saw a place nearby, which should be suitable for ambushing!"

Upon hearing the news, Hu Biao immediately found a company commander Tian Sili and said, "Notify the company and run forward with tools. The remaining troops, led by Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, then rushed to the scene. The guard platoon will follow me!"

"yes!"

After arriving outside the city, Hu Biao and his party followed Xu Sandao and soon arrived at a valley pass. After carefully reconnaissing the terrain, Hu Biao felt that this place was suitable for ambushing, but it was also easy for the Japanese to discover it.

After careful consideration, Hu Biao finally said: "Old Tian, ​​let the soldiers dig the trenches immediately, and we will fight the Japanese here. If we don't destroy these Japanese who come to help, we will run there when we walk to the Japanese!"

"yes!"

Following the ridges on both sides of the highway, Tian Sili quickly divided his soldiers into two groups and dug them into trenches on the ridges. Although the trenches dug out in this way were not very strong, they had certain defensive capabilities.

Of course, if you want to withstand the bombing of airplanes and cannons, you will definitely not be able to do it. Fortunately, they are in the rear of the Japanese. The Japanese who came to help have mortars but no heavy artillery, so the excavated trenches are still very effective.

Before leaving the city, Hu Biao specifically asked Tian Sili to buy a lot of excavation tools in the city. With these excavation tools, the soldiers digged the trenches very quickly. Along the trench line drawn by Hu Biao, more than 100 soldiers immediately took action.

When Xu Mingzhi brought the other two companies over, Hu Biao called him alone and said, "This place is suitable for ambushing. When the Japanese came over, they would definitely have concerns. Therefore, I plan to take the guard platoon and go to the front to fight with the Japanese."

"You want to lure the Japanese in the air?"

"No need to lead! If the Japanese want to support Juxian, they will definitely take this path. I will take the guards to line up and fire cold guns to delay time. You should still have time to simply disguise the excavated fortifications.

As long as the Japanese think that when we fire cold guns, we are delaying their speed of progress, they will definitely speed up. In that case, we will have a greater grasp of ambushing them. If we really want to fight hard, even if we win, we will suffer a lot of losses!"

"How about this, you are here to take the command and I will take the guard platoon to perform the seduction mission, how about it?"

"Okay! You are also the combat staff of the regiment headquarters after all, and you should be better than me in the arrangement of troops. After digging the trenches, remember to cut some branches from the back mountain and cover the soil piled in front of the trenches, so that the Japanese don't see through it at a glance.

If you hear gunfire later, remember to remind the soldiers that they must wait for the Japanese to enter the ambush circle before firing. All the light and heavy machine guns we seized were placed in the second position to form a concentrated fire attack.

In that case, I believe that the first round of attacks can greatly damage the Japanese's vital power. If you are lucky, maybe in less than half an hour, we will be able to completely wipe out this Japanese squadron coming to support."

I briefly explained my own combat deployment, and the specific implementation will also depend on Xu Mingzhi. After explaining the task, the three companies took turns to dig fortifications, went to the back mountain to cut branches and dig turf, and prepared to disguise the trenches.

Hu Biao led the guard platoon and planned to give the Japanese a head-on attack. If more Japanese can be eliminated, the ambush will be easier to fight later. In Hu Biao's plan, this Japanese squadron must be wiped out completely.

Only in this way can we ensure that the team’s whereabouts will not be leaked for a short time. The most advanced communication in this era is to send long-distance messages through radio stations. If there is no radio station, people often need to rely on people to deliver messages.

If the Japanese who came to help were able to wipe out all the Japanese, Hu Biao could quickly march to Lincheng before the Japanese could react and take down the empty Lincheng at this moment. He would rest there for a night before deciding on the next marching route.

As long as the Japanese do not mobilize the main force from the front line to return to the army to clear the troops, with Hu Biao's existing power, he will fight hard with the Japanese squadron, and he will still have a great chance of winning. If he recovers a few more county towns, the Japanese will inevitably panic.
