Chapter 100: Paying homage to the dead heroes

When Hu Biao left Zaozhuang and crossed northern Anhui, and returned to the Anhua Mountain base after the last inspection, the 1939 year also came to an end. The unstoppable pace of time also entered the 1940s and kicked off the new year.

Hu Biao, who could no longer stay at the base for the Spring Festival this year, also specially chose such a Gregorian New Year day and returned to the base to reunite with the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers at the base naturally seemed very happy about Hu Biao's return.

At the New Year's League meeting, Hu Biao also emphasized to the military backbones that he would select more outstanding officers and soldiers to fight in the southwest next year. These officers and soldiers will not be able to come back for a long time.

If these officers and soldiers are willing, they can apply to relocate their families in advance. In the southwest, Hu Biao has instructed Zhu Chengzong to build several new villages to accommodate the families of officers and soldiers. When they go there, the families can be properly resettled.

Listening to what Hu Biao said, an officer soon said, "Captain, can we still come back?"

"Of course it can! The fallen leaves return to their roots. When the war is over in the future, if you still want to move back to your hometown, you can also come back! In the southwest, we have built a good construction. The place where our family is located is also very safe, so don't worry about the Japanese attacks!"

"I understand! When I have time, I will write a letter to go back and ask my parents!"

"Yes! Those who are selected on the recruitment list can apply for family leave and go back to see their parents. When writing the letter, some of the words are not very clear. As for the family relocation work, there will be a dedicated person responsible, so you can rest assured!"

"Yes, captain!"

In order to allow more officers and soldiers under his command to stay in the southwest, Hu Biao remembered the way to move their families. He opened up a new settlement, and Hu Biao also needed more people to support and support his development there.

Although many people feel that their hometowns are hard to leave, those people in the occupied areas are willing to live in a place that will not be affected by the war. When the families of officers and soldiers arrive there, the officers and soldiers who have been transferred can serve more with peace of mind.

Hu Biao's approach was somewhat a bit like the ancient garrison and border guards. Even though the nature was different, Hu Biao believed that only in this way could the officers and soldiers and their families support the expansion and development of the troops there.

After staying at the Anhua Mountain base for three days, Hu Biao set off again. According to the plan, Hu Biao must return to Shillong before the Spring Festival. This year, Hu Biao plans to spend this Spring Festival in Shillong and condolences to the families of the migrant officers and soldiers.

Before leaving, Hu Biao suddenly thought of the officers and soldiers of the Death Soldiers buried in Jinling, and then said, "Go to Jinling City! Once you leave this time, you will not know when you will come back next time. I want to worship the brothers who died in the city!"

"Yes, wolfhead! Do you want to notify Jinling's intelligence team?"

"Don't inform us for the time being. Let's talk about it when we enter the city to see the situation. At the moment, Jinling City must be very lively. The pseudo-government is about to be established, so it's good to go and see the lively. If you have the chance, I'll give them a generous gift then!"

Listening to what Hu Biao said, the platoon leader of the personal guard smiled bitterly, "Wolf Head, there are a large number of elite Japanese troops stationed in Jinling. If we really want to do big moves in the city, it is afraid it will be difficult for us to escape unstoppable!"

"Don't worry! I won't do anything randomly! Who said that if you give me a generous gift, you must send troops? Then send a telegram to Bailang, asking him to draw elite team members from Shanghai, as well as the White Bear Commando, and give a few big gifts to the pseudo-government!"

When the guard platoon leader learned that Hu Biao did not want to take action immediately, the guard platoon leader breathed a sigh of relief. Following Hu Biao's side, the guard platoon leader did feel that the responsibility was heavy. But many times, the things Hu Biao decided were basically difficult to change.

Fortunately, after going to the southwest, Hu Biao became much more cautious in his actions, not as he had before. Regarding his brothers who entered Jinling to worship the Dead Soldiers Camp, the guard platoon leader also felt that it was indeed the most tragic battle Hu Biao had ever experienced.

Many of the first soldiers who followed Hu Biao had experienced that bloody battle. At that time, if it weren't for the underground escape passage, Hu Biao would have been like the officers and soldiers of the Dead Soldiers Camp, with loyal bones buried in the green mountains, and they would not dare to let too many people know about it.

Even though the Japanese army took over Jinling for a long time, it would not be too much pressure for Hu Biao and his party to avoid the Japanese inspection and enter Jinling City. Once upon a time, they sacrificed their lives here, and the surrounding terrain was still very familiar.

Hu Biao, who was disguised as a merchant, appeared near the ruins of the still abandoned Presidential Palace with several guards. During those fierce defense battles, Hu Biao used a lot of special bullets seized from the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army did not dare to approach easily.

Even after the war, this place became a dangerous area that many people could take a detour. Although the blockade area was smaller by the end of the war, the former presidential palace was still in ruins at this moment.

Standing on a nearby high ground and watching with a telescope, Hu Biao was very sensitive to discover that the Japanese in the garrison had deployed many alert troops near the ruins. Looking at this stance, it didn't seem like the alert set up to prevent the people from approaching.

"There's a problem! Even if there are residual toxins in the ruins, the Japanese don't need to deploy so many alert troops, right? If we hadn't come here to take a look and rashly break into the woods outside the ruins, we might have been cheated by the Japanese!"

"Wolf Head, do you think the Japanese know that our comrades were buried in the woods?"

"It's hard to say! Leave first! In the evening, you will take the guard platoon to understand the Japanese's defense situation. Since you are here, I will also give my brothers incense sticks no matter what. I believe they should miss us very much!"

From the Japanese's deployment near the ruins, Hu Biao roughly judged that the focus of the Japanese's warning was still the grove next to the ruins. What's the Japanese's concern about such a grove?

There is no doubt that the Japanese must know that those who died in the battle to defend the Presidential Palace that day were buried in this grove. The Japanese should have launched defenses and wanted to see if there was anything that would come to this grove.

Secondly, Hu Biao knew from the news reported by the Shura Intelligence Group that the Japanese military's special high school class had been chasing him. Even when several senior officials of the Military Control Commission betrayed, the Japanese army also knew that Hu Biao led his team to participate in many battles.

The so-called special operation team that the Japanese army had been pursuing earlier, the information that the commander of the Dead Soldier Battalion Commander Hu Biao was also leaked. And this is the place where Hu Biao became famous in the battle, and the Japanese army should also think that Hu Biao will appear sooner or later.

If Hu Biao could be blocked in the city, I believe the Japanese army would be very happy. As the Japanese army summarized it, more and more information about Hu Biao, the Japanese special high school class was also extremely interested in Hu Biao and offered a high reward to collect information about Hu Biao.

Realizing that something was wrong, Hu Biao returned to the bustling inner city area. Seeing the grain shop located on the corner of the street, Hu Biao also pretended to be a vendor buying grain and walked in. Not long after, Hu Biao followed the shopkeeper to the backyard of the grain shop.

"Wolf Head, why are you here? The wind is getting louder in the city recently, and the Japanese are arresting people everywhere!"

"What's going on in the grove? Is there something wrong with the Military Control Commission?"

Seeing the head of the Rat Intelligence Lurking in the city, Hu Biao was not polite and raised his own doubts directly. Faced with Hu Biao's inquiry, the head of the intelligence nodded helplessly and said, "That's right! Captain Chen had a confidant arrested and was later lured to rebel!"

"How is Lao Chen?"

"The situation is not very optimistic! In the past few days, plainclothes spies and Japanese devils in the city have been searching for him and his subordinates. The places we contacted him are now under Japanese surveillance, and the radio stations dare not open them at will!"

Compared with the intelligence stations in Shanghai, they are at least hiding in the concession controlled by foreigners. Even if the Japanese detect unknown radio signals, they dare not break into the concession to catch people. But this is Jinling, so the Japanese naturally don’t have so many concerns.

Even earlier, Liu Shixing deliberately told the intelligence team lurking in Jinling that they would send the information to the connection location outside the city. The intelligence officers outside the city passed the information through the radio.

After sending the telegram, the intelligence officer immediately moved. Even if the Japanese detectives had unknown radio signals, when they came to arrest them, the intelligence officers would have changed places. In this way, the safety of the lurking personnel can be ensured.

After a while of silence, Hu Biao immediately said, "Contact the operation team in the city and find a way to find Lao Chen. I entered the city this time to pay tribute to the brothers in the Dead Soldiers Camp. If I don't go to see them even if I come, those brothers will be sad!"

"Yes, wolf head!"

Although he really wanted to persuade Hu Biao not to take risks, he saw that Hu Biao said this, and the intelligence officer was not good to persuade him anymore. He knew very well that in this city, the most valued thing about Hu Biao was the remains of the officers and soldiers of the Death Soldiers buried in that small woods.

With Hu Biao coming to Jinling City in person, the rat intelligence team and operation team that rarely moves usually take action quickly. The task force that was originally on standby outside the city lurked into the city after receiving the order from Hu Biao.

For Hu Biao, even though he knew that Jinling was full of crises, he was still confident to escape. The reason was very simple. Now that the situation has changed, the Japanese are in the light, and they are in the dark.

Even if he makes Jinling so hard, Hu Biao will not feel distressed at all. What about the Japanese?

What's more, the Japanese have decided to support Wang's superior throne. This Jinling City will become the core capital of the pseudo-government. If the situation in the city is messed up, I believe it is not what the Japanese want to see!

After the officers and soldiers of the task force entered the city one after another, they were sent by Hu Biao for reconnaissance. Not long after, the operation team heard news that they discovered the whereabouts of Chen Gongshu, the head of the Military Control Commission stationed in Jinling. When they learned that the information station was exposed, Chen Gongshu was also cautiously hiding outside the city.

When Hu Biao learned about this situation, he didn't say much and continued to instruct his officers and soldiers to deploy the next harassment mission. In order to avoid head-on confrontation with the Japanese, Hu Biao thought of the way to lure the tiger away from the mountain to divert the attention of the Japanese army.

As for the Japanese who were guarding the ruins and groves, Hu Biao and the guards around him took action, I believe that they would not alarm the Japanese around them. I believe that the Japanese would not have thought that such a big disturbance would only pay tribute to the deceased heroes!
