Compared with the transportation network formed by expressways, railways and airports in later generations, the troops can quickly transfer their combat positions. In this era, the troops often rely on two iron feet to fight in various places.

Even if the national army has a transport convoy and the Japanese army's combat delivery power is stronger, many troops still need to move on two legs when they go to the battlefield. This also means that the advancement speed of the troops is still quite limited.

It is almost impossible to fight thousands of miles a day in this era. The tactics of advancing step by step and crossing the way are also very common in this era. Fighting behind enemy lines is all based on two legs, and you can fight there when you walk.

Hu Biao and his party who had been transferred from Shanghai overnight came into contact with the military commanders at the Chenghuang Temple outside the city and obtained information from several secret intelligence liaison stations. The military commander's ability to give this information is enough to show their trust in Hu Biao.

As Hu Biao had expected before, after two transactions, the Military Control Commission had already tasted the sweetness. This time, the Japanese army was forced into Nanjing, and the Military Control Commission was in urgent need of Japanese military intelligence and also sent intelligence personnel to sneak into the enemy's backbone to collect intelligence.

However, judging from the current situation, the information that the Military Control Commission can collect is extremely limited. After all, after the Japanese army captured Shanghai, they almost pushed towards Nanjing without stopping, and did not give the national army too much time to react and prepare.

The Battle of Songhu lasted for three months. Although it defeated the Japanese ambition to destroy the Celestial Empire in March, it also paid a heavy price. Many elite main combat troops of the national army were beaten to pieces on the battlefield of Songhu, and their combat effectiveness was very little left.

Hu Biao and his party left Shanghai basically adopted a marching method of hiding out at night and strideing towards Nanjing. On the way, Hu Biao asked everyone to carry equipment, weapons and ammunition on their backs to train the team members' bodies.

Although many team members felt it was hard, they couldn't complain about anything when they saw Hu Biao marching and tied sandbags on their feet. As the captain, Hu Biao set an example and didn't say it was hard, so how could they have the nerve to say it was hard?

Looking at the slowly bright sky, Hu Biao walking in front of the team, he also said at the right time: "Sandao, go nearby to see if there is any place for rest. From the map, there should be a small town nearby, right?"

"It should be true! I will go to the front to find a rest place first, wait for a while, and then I will go to the nearby village!"

"Okay! Others rest on the spot, be careful!"

After issuing the rest order, the combatants who had been forcibly marched for one night seemed relieved and sat on the ground. Even if they could rest during the day, this routine still required time to adjust.

However, in Hu Biao's view, the team members must develop the habit and ability to fight at night. Given the limited number of people, Hu Biao wants to make some achievements behind enemy lines in the future, so he can only choose the tactic of sneak attack at night.

Hu Biao felt that he could not do it at this stage when he marched for a few days. Fortunately, although everyone felt hard and tired, they didn't complain. This also made Hu Biao feel very pleased.

As a scout of the team, Xu Sandao is naturally responsible for any reconnaissance tasks. Every time he rests and goes out for reconnaissance, Xu Sandao and Hu Biao are responsible for most of the people. Others are more responsible for alert and combat tasks.

When Xu Sandao came back, he had found a small valley that was convenient for the rest of the group. Although Hu Biao and his party followed the main road to Nanjing, they would choose to detour more often to avoid exposing their whereabouts.

Being behind enemy lines that have been controlled by the Japanese army, the probability of encountering the Japanese army is relatively high. Although Hu Biao wanted to do something several times, he did not act rashly. If there is a stir, it will easily cause the Japanese army to be vigilant.

From a time perspective, the main force of the Japanese army at this time should have formed a siege against Nanjing. As expected, the anti-Japanese war troops guarding Nanjing were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army attacking Nanjing.

Hu Biao planned to go a little further and find the ammunition depot set up by the Japanese army in the rear, or other valuable targets before taking action. In that case, it may reduce some pressure on the front-line anti-Japanese troops.

At least at this stage, the Japanese army that was advancing rapidly did not encounter harassment behind enemy lines. Of course, this has a lot to do with the Japanese army's intention to focus on attacking Nanjing. It is difficult to see the resistance troops where the Japanese army passed by.

To put it simply, in the face of the Japanese army's current military front, most of the anti-Japanese war troops that were dispersed, hid or became deserters. Taking the initiative to attack the Japanese army, this behavior is obviously a behavior of seeking death in the eyes of many people!

Even the main force is not an opponent of the Japanese army, how could this method of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines be successful? Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that the Japanese army deployed more vigilant forces behind it seemed as if Hu Biao had imagined.

This means that as long as Hu Biao finds the right opportunity, he should be able to give the Japanese fighting on the front line a big surprise!

Arriving at the campsite chosen by Xu Sandao, looking at the team members following behind, Hu Biao also said directly: "Sunzi, bury the pot and make rice! Zhuzi, go to the nearby area to find two buckets of water, others set up tents to set up a warning post and start working!"

For Qin Tianyou and others, the march these days have also begun to become familiar with what it takes to camp in the wild. Even if there are not many people, they can be responsible for each other, and the speed of building camps is still very high.

When choosing a place with dry tide and shade, you have to cut down some branches to disguise the tent. During the day, three people rotate to guard the guard. Two of them serve as lurking whistles in the camp, and only one person is on duty on the open whistle.

This new combat skill also allowed Qin Tianyou and others to learn a lot of new things, and truly recognized Hu Biao's command ability. Every morning camping is the most comfortable moment for everyone.

The choice to make rice in the morning is more because there is basically fog in the mountains in the morning. Even if the fire produces smoke, it will not make people see through it at a glance. You usually don’t eat lunch, and have another meal before leaving in the evening.

On the marching road at night, I added another meal of dry food. In this way, three meals a day were unmoved, and meat and rice were enough. After a few days of adaptation, everyone became accustomed to this kind of life.

Even everyone could clearly feel that their night vision ability had been significantly improved. Through some sensitive areas, even if they don’t use flashlights, they don’t have to worry about getting lost by marching with the help of starlight.

He took Xu Sandao around the campsite and stood on a high place, Hu Biao looked at the front of the road and said, "It seems that there is a village over there? When noon, we will go to the village to see if there are still people living in the village!"

In the past, villages living on both sides of the highway enjoyed the benefits of convenient transportation. However, as the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Nanjing, Hu Biao and his party came and found that most of the villages on both sides of the highway could no longer see any villagers.

It can be seen that these villages have been affected by Japanese devils. For Hu Biao, it is also very necessary to find villagers to buy some food on the march. If you can't find a village, it will be more difficult to buy food.

Although there is plenty of food in the portable space, Hu Biao is not easy to take it often. At least at this stage, no one knows that Hu Biao has such magical ability. Even if he is sometimes curious, he doesn't ask too much.

"It should be! Look, there seems to be smoke in the village!"

"Well, noon reconnaissance is still the same rule! The closer we are to Nanjing, the more careful we need to act!"

"clear!"

As the team's reconnaissance team leader, Xu Sandao knew very well that at this time, strangers entering the village would easily arouse suspicion from villagers. Most of the villages that can be preserved on both sides of the road have landlords who were bought or surrendered to by little ghosts.

In order to save their lives, these people often report to the Japanese for the sake of the Japanese. In a sense, these landlords are also traitors. Fortunately, at this stage, these landlords who surrender to the Japanese are not as rampant as they were later.

Because no one knows what this war will be like next. Relying on the strong is also the principle of many landlords in dealing with life. For these traitors, Hu Biao feels that there is a chance, and he also wants to let them know what the outcome will be if they are traitors.

When the food is ready, everyone rarely gets together for dinner. When the sun rises, everyone also starts to rest. Every day, Hu Biao and Xu Sandao are responsible for the first shift, while the rest go into the tent to rest with peace of mind.

Even though the vision is a bit dazzling during the day, the team members who are used to marching at night and resting during the day will fall asleep shortly after entering the tent. Only after two hours of rest will someone be woken up and changed shifts.

Most of the team members who are resting again can rest for at least four hours at a time. During the day, everyone can almost ensure sufficient sleep for seven to eight hours. In this way, they will have a long-distance marches at night.

Just when Hu Biao woke up and was about to go to the village at the foot of the mountain with Xu Sandao to touch the situation, the sudden gunshots from the village made Qin Tianyou and others who were sleeping awake instantly. As veterans, gunshots meant that there was an enemy situation.
