After a day of rest and preparation, Hu Biao accompanied the main force of the breakout detachment to leave at night. Xu Cheng and Chen Haocheng, who were in charge of the stay-attack, knew that Hu Biao and the main force would leave this time, it would be a while before they could come back.

During the period when the main force left, they had no combat missions. They just needed to protect the base and the materials stored in the cave. Even if the main force carried a batch of materials and left, the cave still stored a large amount of materials.

In order to ensure the safety of the base, Hu Biao even ordered Xu Cheng and his party not to send troops out of the mountain. Even if they wanted to reconnaissance the enemy situation, they were only allowed to send remaining combat squad members, and the troops of the first company must continue to stay in the mountains for training.

Only after this storm has passed can the detachment start to move. If you want to recruit new recruits, you must apply first and then recruit soldiers after getting Hu Biao's permission. Hu Biao is still relieved to have Xu Cheng stayed here with a combat squad.

What's more, the place where the main force went this time was not too far from Zaozhuang. If Chen Haocheng or anyone wanted to escape from control, Hu Biao would also let them understand how serious the consequences of betrayal were. Xu Cheng and others were very clear about this.

Looking at the troops leaving at night, Xu Cheng also said sincerely: "Old Chen, we need to work together in the future for the things in the mountains. If we can't even watch the family, we are afraid that we will not have the shame to see the captain!"

"Don't worry! I will definitely cooperate with your work! I hope you will have much trouble in the training of the troops in the future!"

After the rescue of the coal mine and the raid on Zaozhuang last night, the newly formed combat company soldiers realized the strength of the spy company. This time, the spy company retained a squad and would also serve as the training instructor of the troops.

According to Hu Biao, he would rather use the money from other troops to raise ten soldiers to train an elite soldier. Although the two detachments under his command are not large, Hu Biao still hopes to train every soldier who joins the detachment into elite soldiers.

Compared with other troops who are good at sea tactics, Hu Biao emphasizes elite military strategies. At least for the rescued prisoners of war, they are all very satisfied with the current situation and treatment. In addition to the hard and tiring training, everything else makes them feel at ease.

Not to mention, they all owe Hu Biao a life-saving grace, even in order to repay this favor, they would not be able to do anything to betray Hu Biao. In this era, ungrateful people are despised.

Since they chose to keep Xu Cheng and Chen Haocheng, Hu Biao naturally trusted them. As for Lin Dingyuan and others who were also staying in Zaozhuang, they were also busy tonight. The independent group that came overnight last night was also resting in the mountains.

Faced with the information forwarded by Hu Biao, Zhang Guangwu, who was found by Guo Ziming again, was also very clear that Zaozhuang seemed calm at the moment, but it was causing a big storm. The calm at this time would soon be broken.

"Comrades, what suggestions do you have for the current situation?"

"Chief of Staff, most of the Japanese soldiers are concentrated in Zaozhuang City. Although the troops have gathered a lot, I am afraid that this number of troops will not be possible if I want to carry out a large-scale sweep, right?"

"Don't forget! In the telegram sent by Captain Hu earlier, Jining had sent an infantry corps to come. When the infantry corps arrive, the Japanese army in Zaozhuang will probably exceed the strength of one brigade."

"We are not completely unable to fight back with a brigade's troops. We are now sufficient weapons and supplies. Even if the Japanese carry out a large-scale sweep, we can still knock out a single tooth. Since our independent regiment was formed, we have not fought a few major battles!"

Listening to the different comments from the commanders under his command, Zhang Guangwu also felt a little embarrassed. Logically speaking, it seemed somewhat embarrassing to retreat without trying the Japanese soldiers. If he was stubborn with the Japanese soldiers, he was worried that he would lose too much force.

However, the Qilu Column has developed to this day, and there are not many battles with the Japanese. If you want to train a truly elite army, you must go through hard and even bloody battles in actual combat. What's more, the main force of the headquarters will arrive soon.

After finally opening up a little situation in Zaozhuang, Zhang Guangwu felt a little reluctant to leave now. From what Guo Ziming learned about, after the sudden attack on Zaozhuang, the people in Zaozhuang were all surprised.

The people also admire the Eighth Route Army a little more. Unfortunately, the Eighth Route Army only stayed in the city for one night before leaving. For many people in Zaozhuang, they still hope that there is an anti-Japanese armed force around them.

After some discussion, Zhang Guangwu finally decided to leave a main battalion of the main regiment, and the rest of the troops transferred the weapons and ammunition seized in the previous period through the route that was possible to check when they came, and transferred them to the column located in the Yimeng Mountains.

Once the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep in Zaozhuang, the main force of the column will cooperate with the guerrilla detachment's anti-sweep campaign in Zaozhuang. The more Japanese devils are restrained in Zaozhuang, the easier it will be for the subsequent main force of the Eighth Route Army to advance into Qilu.

After forwarding the agreed combat plan to the column and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the column and headquarters also recognized Zhang Guangwu's decision. If the guerrilla detachment was in Zaozhuang, it could restrain the Japanese troops in Qilu, and it could also cover the main force invade.

Secondly, the headquarters also knew that the materials seized by the guerrilla detachment this time were very important. With this batch of materials, weapons and ammunition, the main force rushing to Qilu will also develop rapidly, and a real anti-Japanese war force will be brought up in Qilu.

After sending a telegram to the Qilu Column, General Zhu, who was still in northwest Shanxi, also sighed: "I didn't expect that Captain Hu really knows our situation very well. It seems that they have a good control of our guerrilla tactics!"

"If you get the benefits, leave, take action harshly and stop when you see it! The Japanese want to catch him, but it's not easy!"

"It's better not to catch it! Otherwise, we will suffer a lot of losses! The second batch of medicines he traded with us in the previous episode will arrive at our base. With this batch of medicines, we can exchange them for a lot of urgently needed supplies.

Not to mention anything else, we will get a lot of benefits every time we work with this guy. If we really want to say that the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment can have such a big seizure, it is actually not much different from giving it away for free. I am afraid that this favor will be more and more owe it to you!”

"It's okay! As long as we can quickly improve our strength, what's wrong with owing more favors. As the saying goes, don't worry if you have too much debt!"

The matter of cooperation with the special operations team is no longer a secret for the Eighth Route Army headquarters and the leaders of various divisions and brigades. This time, a part of the main force was divided into advance to Qilu, and the capture of the guerrilla detachment became very important.

Although the Qilu Column has formed a main force, according to the seized data reported by the Qilu Column, a large amount of materials are still stored in the mountains where the guerrilla detachment is located, even a batch of scarce artillery artillery of the Eighth Route Army.

Compared with the main forces currently fighting in northwest Shanxi, the main force that advances to Qilu this time can only rely on its own strength to develop and grow. The headquarters can only provide more political guidance in Qilu, but cannot provide more support.

After the meeting, General Zhu also sent a telegram to Hu Biao in his personal name, and expressed his hope that the two parties would cooperate more in the future. However, after the telegram was sent, they still failed to receive a call from Hu Biao, which surprised General Zhu.

Fortunately, the radio operator quickly said: "Boss, their radio station is in a quiet state. They should not receive our telegram during the march. We should not wait for dawn to call again to see if we can contact them?"

"Okay! If they call back, remember to report it in time!"

"Yes, boss!"

As Mr. Zhu expected, Hu Biao, who set out overnight, successfully avoided the checkpoint set up by the Japanese army in the territory. After joining Xu Sandao, who came to greet him, he pointed to a location on the map and said: "Xiao Wu, send a report to Minyi and dispose of Beizhuang's stronghold!"

"yes!"

In order to divert the attention of the Japanese army, Hu Biao, who had arrived at the border between Zaozhuang and Tancheng, still hoped to divert the Japanese. Beizhuang was closer to Linyi, where the Eighth Route Army was also active.

According to the information provided by Hu Minyi, Beizhuang only arranged a squadron of Japanese troops. In addition, the Japanese army was located at the checkpoint on the highway, and there were not many Japanese soldiers in Beizhuang. With Hu Minyi's ability, it should not be difficult to kill the Japanese troops in Beizhuang.

Even if the Japanese army learned the news, it would be difficult to lock in the whereabouts of Hu Minyi and his party. Although the direction of Hu Biao and his party breaking through was also under the jurisdiction of Linyi, that place already belongs to the border area between Sulu and Lu, and the situation is even more complicated.

The most important thing is that Tancheng was also occupied by the Japanese army, but the Japanese army arranged not much force. Hu Biao pulled the main force there and built another base in order to increase the future contact between the two detachments.

According to Hu Biao's vision, his future development focus will be placed in the southwest region. If there is no accident in the north, he will rarely be involved in the future. The base in Zaozhuang is more used to deal with and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army.

As long as Hu Biao did not develop his power in the north, he would not have too many conflicts with the Eighth Route Army, and would not arouse too much suspicion from the National Army. In the short term, more bases formed by Hu Biao would be placed in coastal cities in the Soviet province.

Using his relationship with Brooke, Hu Biao will also establish a huge smuggling team while attacking the Japanese in the future. In this way, both the National Army and the Eighth Route Army will choose to cooperate with Hu Biao.

Correspondingly, Hu Biao's smuggling with foreign forces will undoubtedly anger the Japanese army. This also means that Hu Biao and the Japanese army will be in a state of constant hostility. While fighting the Japanese, making money and accumulating strength is Hu Biao's short-term plan.

Before the Japanese army officially declared war with the US army, this kind of smuggling transaction would not be interrupted. Even if it was interrupted in the later period, Hu Biao believed that his power should be able to extend to the southwest. At that time, foreigners will find that they will need Hu Biao's help more.

Relying on this mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation method, Hu Biao believes that when the end of World War II, as long as he does not make any fatal mistakes, he should be able to accumulate considerable strength. He is strong and rich, what can he do?
