After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Government forced the Japanese army to attack Shanghai and threatened Jinling. Finally, it reached an agreement with Yan'an on the formation of an army of the Red Army guerrillas in various southern provinces to carry out anti-Japanese guerrilla wars in the north and south of the Yangtze River and Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.

This army formed by guerrillas in various provinces is the New Fourth Army currently operating in Anhui Province. But many people don’t know that in fact, there is a guerrilla team that has not been reorganized on Qiongdao, which is currently occupied by the Japanese army.

As a soldier from later generations, Hu Biao knew little about the history of the Anti-Japanese War in Qiongdao, but he knew that there was a red Detachment of Women on Qiongdao. When he met in Zaozhuang before the New Year, Hu Biao mentioned to Deputy Commander Xu that he would focus on the southwest after the New Year.

When they learned about this situation, the Eighth Route Army also attached great importance to it. After asking Yan'an, the Eighth Route Army quickly informed Hu Biao that they had an army on Qiongdao. Even after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, they sent elite personnel back to strengthen the united front work.

Currently, he plans to send some forces into Qiongdao to fight behind enemy lines. Hu Biao feels that joining forces with this guerrilla team will be more conducive to attacking the Japanese army. Hu Biao decided to send troops to Qiongdao, and he also knows that Qiongdao has iron ore resources urgently needed by the Japanese army.

Let’s not talk about the strategic location of Qiong Island, the iron ore resources on Qiong Island alone are enough to invade the Japanese army. If you want to dig the iron ore on the island, the Japanese army will inevitably need a large number of young and strong coolies, among which there must be a large number of prisoners of war transferred.

Hu Biao's real purpose is to rescue these prisoners of war and make them a new force in the army. In Hu Biao's view, these rescued prisoners of war can be transferred out of the island and placed in another place after a period of investigation.

Besides, most of these prisoners of war were not locals, so Hu Biao didn't have to worry about them defecting. When they settled in the army, they believed that they would become the backbone of the troops and would not have to worry about being instigated or attracted.

Secondly, by attacking the Japanese army, it is also important to train the troops. Having such a battlefield is also extremely beneficial to the development of the troops. Around Qiongdao, Hu Biao can even train a force that is adapted to amphibious operations.

From Liu Shixing, he learned that the Japanese army occupied an island in the strait as its naval and air force base. Hu Biao had a new combat vision and could find a way to take down the island before he decided to go to Qiong Island.

With this combat vision, Hu Biao immediately ordered: "Old Liu, can you find a way to go to the island to reconnaissance?"

"It should be OK! Although the Japanese have increased their vigilance, they can find a way to touch the island at night, so there should be no big problem!"

"Okay! You can make arrangements first, find one or two boat bosses who are familiar with the situation around Weizhou Island, and then find a way to get them to send someone to the island. If you really can't find a reliable person, I will notify Haiying and the others at that time to see if there is any other way!"

"I understand! I'll make arrangements later! When are you planning to meet with the guest?"

"Is the other person in the store? Also, can you be sure that you don't have a tail?"

"The people in the city are panic now, and no one should have noticed us. There are not many customers in the store, and it is even less noticeable. However, two days ago, I found that some people worth paying attention to come to the city."

As the leader of the intelligence team, Liu Shixing is naturally good at disguising and can also identify some fellow people. In addition to the spies from the Military Control Commission, the people who can attract Liu Shixing to pay attention are naturally members of the special high school class sent by the Japanese.

Regarding the situation provided by Liu Shixing, Hu Biao also said directly: "The old rules are that once the other party has a problem, find a way to arrest it first and then investigate it. But there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. At present, there are also many intelligence personnel who have instigated the Japanese to instigate the rebels.

During the interrogation process, try not to be injured by accident. If you really can’t judge your identity, find an opportunity to let them go. After being arrested and interrogated, as long as they are not stupid, they should leave obediently, or contact their superiors to request support!”

"Yes, I know how to do it!"

Compared with the two armies playing on the surface, the secret intelligence war is also extremely cruel. Many times, once the identity of the spy personnel is leaked, it may cause death. Sometimes, in order to avoid leaking intelligence, they often choose to commit suicide.

This time, Hu Biao greeted the Military Control Commission. However, after arriving in the southwest, Hu Biao rarely contacted Dai Li. In fact, the Military Control Commission's intelligence personnel in the southwest were extremely limited, and the situation here was more complicated than the war zone.

In addition to the extra-level courses of the Military Control Commission and the Japanese military, in order to control every move of the local area, the Guangxi clan must also have its own intelligence system. In addition, some people who act as intelligence dealers for Britain, France and other countries, it is not easy to identify who they work for.

When someone brought a teapot, Hu Biao started boiling water directly in the rest room. When the water was almost boiling, Tian Tiezhu, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door and said, "Sir, the guest is here!"

"Please come in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The middle-aged man who was led outside the guest room smiled at Tian Tiezhu and soon stepped into the room where Hu Biao was. Looking at Hu Biao who stood up to greet him, the middle-aged man also said politely: "You are Mr. Hu, who sells dates, right?"

"Yes! Are you Mr. Ma, a fish seller?"

"I haven't sold fish for a long time, but now I've changed to selling cloth! I've sold red cloth!"

The two of them who had first met smiled and said some contact codes. Hu Biao confirmed that there was no problem and said, "Mr. Ma, please sit down! I happened to buy some good tea leaves in the previous episode. If you don't dislike it, you might as well sit down and drink tea while chatting. How about it?"

"It's better to obey your orders than respect! Let the sir spend money!"

After sitting down, Hu Biao waved his hand to signal Tian Tiezhu to close the door. After the tea was soaked open, the middle-aged man surnamed Ma continued: "Mr. Hu, ask more. Earlier, a gentleman named Zhu invited you to dinner in northwest Shanxi. What did he eat at that time?"

Hearing the other party’s inquiry, Hu Biao smiled and said, “Sir, I’m very cautious! Fortunately, I still remember that meal very clearly. Mixed grain steamed buns with sweet potato porridge, a bowl of meat dishes with more chili than meat, a few river fish, and pumpkin and cabbage are also good!”

Be clear about the questions asked by the other party, and more importantly, he is not sure of his identity. Mr. Zhu mentioned by the other party is undoubtedly Mr. Zhu of the Eighth Route Army. If it were someone else, he would probably not know what Mr. Zhu had eaten that day.

After Hu Biao finished speaking, Mr. Ma stood up embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Hu, I'm very sorry! In order to avoid acquiring the wrong person, Mr. Zhu deliberately explained it before leaving, and asked me to use this question to confirm your true identity!"

"It's okay! Be cautious and no big mistake! You should have come from the island this time, right?"

After confirming each other's identities, Hu Biao also asked directly about the situation on Qiongdao. As a representative sent by the Eighth Route Army, Ma Jiasheng also learned about some of the situation on Hu Biao from the headquarters.

It can be said that the headquarters sent Ma Jiasheng back to Qiongdao, in addition to bringing the order back to the headquarters, he was also responsible for contacting Hu Biao and acting as a liaison officer for both parties. Before leaving, General Zhu also personally met and told Ma Jiasheng to cooperate with Hu Biao.

If Hu Biao can get the support of Hu Biao, the Qiongdao guerrillas will also receive favorable support. In a short period of time, the headquarters is unable to send troops to help them. This also means that if the guerrillas want to grow here, they can only rely on their own strength.

Facing Hu Biao's inquiry, Ma Jiasheng nodded and said, "Yes! As the Japanese occupied some important ports and county towns on Qiong Island, the situation on the island became extremely chaotic. The garrison on the island was completely defeated and fled to the mountains to fight guerrillas."

Hu Biao heard this and sneered: "Just those master soldiers, I'm afraid they won't last long when they enter the mountains to fight guerrillas. How many counties are currently occupied by the Japanese? In addition, do you know the military strength of the Japanese army left behind in each county town?"

"There is not much control at present! When I came here, the Japanese were still attacking some county towns. A group of Japanese landed in the north, and a group of Japanese landed in the south, advancing in the north and south to prepare for a reunion!"

"What is your current situation? Are there sufficient troops, weapons and ammunition? Of course, if there is any inconvenience, you can not say anything. I ask about this, and I hope to learn more about your situation!"

"Mr. Hu's words are serious! When he came, Mr. Zhu explained that he was a trustworthy good friend. In fact, our situation has always been bad. Earlier, he was suppressed and encircled by the garrison on the island.

Although the situation improved after the joint war of resistance, they remained extremely wary of us. Some time ago, I brought back the headquarters to order and integrated the existing forces and formed an independent team with three squadrons under it.

The size of each squadron is roughly equivalent to a company. The total strength of the independent team is less than a battalion, and it is even lacking in weapons and ammunition. After the Japanese came to the island, we fought with him for several battles, but we didn’t get any advantage!”

Facing the Qiongdao guerrillas with a total strength of less than one battalion, Hu Biao really admired him since he dared to take the initiative to fight the Japanese. After listening to the specific situation of the guerrillas, Hu Biao continued to ask about the guerrillas' activity area.

Ma Jiasheng also seemed extremely surprised to see the military map of Qiongdao that Hu Biao spread out. This was the first time he saw such a detailed map. Referring to the map, Ma Jiasheng also marked some guerrilla activity areas.

After understanding these situations, Hu Biao also said directly: "I originally came to the southwest to do some business and business. The main area of ​​activities is Longzhou. It is the first time I have been here at Hikvision.

Before coming, I sent a telegram to your headquarters to inform you of the news of Qiongdao being occupied by the Japanese army. In view of the previous cooperative relationship, I will provide you with help within your ability. Correspondingly, I hope you can provide me with some help.

After a while, I will send a team of no less than 300 people to the island, and at the same time bring a batch of weapons and ammunition. Considering the current situation, I can only support you five hundred rifles and a small number of machine guns for the time being. I hope it will be helpful to you!"

As soon as he took action, he was equipped with a battalion. When Ma Jiasheng heard Hu Biao's promise, he was naturally happy. It was not until now that Ma Jiasheng truly understood why some heads at the headquarters would say that Mr. Hu was a trustworthy rich man.

If you have a good relationship with him, the troops behind him need weapons and ammunition, and may also get Hu Biao's support. However, if you take advantage of Hu Biao, you will always have to pay something. So what valuable things can the guerrillas provide to Hu Biao?
