Chapter 126 Well-deserved reputation!
Hu Biao, who knew that many major events would happen next year, returned to inspect again, also focused on a new round of relocation and selection work. The expansion of settlements and jurisdictions also gave Hu Biao more territory to resettle the people and troops.
According to the plan made by Hu Biao, places where people live in migrants are regarded as core areas, and areas where a large number of indigenous people live in are regarded as key defense areas. They are located outside the jurisdiction and belong to designated combat areas.
At present, most of the Wolf Army's deployment in the colonies are deployed near the combat areas. If the Japanese army's offensive is too strong, they can retreat into key defense areas to continue blocking. As for the core areas, Hu Biao ordered the troops to strictly order the Japanese army to not allow them to step over the line.
Except for air strikes, it is difficult to stop them, the Japanese land combat troops must be blocked outside the key defense areas. Unless the troops are all tied up, Hu Biao will not allow the Japanese army's invasion to extend to the core areas where he is focusing on operations.
In order to implement the defensive strategy he formulated, Hu Biao also needed more combat defense troops. In addition to recruiting new recruits on the spot, Hu Biao also believed that the continuously expanding troops in the occupied areas, these troops had experience in fighting with the Japanese army.
Hu Biao didn't need to make too much publicity to move these troops to the control area. These combat troops knew who were living in the core area. If the Japanese army could not be stopped, their families placed in the core area would be extremely dangerous.
Even for the safety of his family, these officers and soldiers will fight to the death to resist the Japanese army. As long as the three armies sacrifice their lives together, Hu Biao really doesn't believe that the Japanese army is willing to join the heavy army and fight with Hu Biao's troops in the colony. In that way, the Japanese army will suffer greater losses.
During last year's inspection, Hu Biao started from the coastal areas, and this year's inspection, Hu Biao wandered more troops stationed in the occupied and confrontation areas. When he arrived in the Yellow River Flood Zone in his early years, Hu Biao also saw the growing rescue troops.
After nearly two years of development, this army formed to rescue the victims has now been supported by many local people. But Hu Biao knew that for the victims in the Yellow River Flood, their suffering days have not ended.
Hu Biao, who had watched the movie describing the Great Famine in his previous life, knew very well that a locust plague would break out in the Yellow River Flood just one year later, including many counties around the Yellow River Flood, and the people were in a situation where food was completely out of stock.
To avoid this situation, Hu Biao also summoned the commanders of the rescue army in the Yellow River Area to start deploying the work of relocating the people. These commanders were very happy and looking forward to Hu Biao's arrangements.
When talking about the people who are not willing to move long distances, Hu Biao said directly: "Trees are moved to death, people are moved to live. The people who are living in the Yellow River Flood are still living a miserable life. For them, it is certain that it is difficult to leave their hometown.
If you tell these people who are willing to move to the southwest during publicity and get there to allocate houses and land, do you think the people will be willing? During the migration, we also sent troops to escort them and ensure that they will go to the southwest alive.
I believe you all have heard of going to the west entrance and going to Southeast Asia. Compared to the people who seek their own way of survival, they are likely to die halfway. Now that we provide protection along the way, why do they refuse? It is difficult to stay and survive.
If you don’t have any brothers in your family, you can choose two of them to go there first, right? As long as you do the first batch of people to relocate, when those people arrive in the southwest, I believe they will know that we have not lie to them, there is indeed a way out for the southwest.
As long as the people who go there send a reply, I am afraid that you will not be able to get busy with the people in the southwest when the time comes. The reason why you start this work now is that I am worried that the people in the Yellow River Flood will have a harder life in the next two years.
If the Yellow River is diverted, if there is a heavy flood, the people's farmland will be flooded, and the hard work will be in vain for a year. Life will be even harder if there is no heavy flood. Under the severe drought, the people will still have no harvest. Some people will move away in advance, and they also hope to find a way out for them!"
Hu Biao naturally could not say that severe droughts and even locust plagues would occur in the entire Henan Province in the next two years. He also hoped that these people would lead more people to settle in the southwest.
The more people moved to the southwest, which can further supplement the lack of people in Hu Biaolian's jurisdiction, and at the same time, it can find a way out for the people in this area. Why didn't Hu Biao do something that kills two birds with one stone?
The rescue army was never withdrawn, and it was just to prepare for the implementation of this large-scale migration. Now the time is ripe, so Hu Biao naturally had to make arrangements. As for the possibility of the National Government to stop it, Hu Biao believed that by then, they would be eager to move some disaster victims away.
After deploying the corresponding work, the rescue army quickly began to relocate the first batch of people. Among the first batch of people, most of them were selected family members of the officers and soldiers. When they learned that they could divide houses and land to the southwest, the family members of these officers and soldiers were very excited.
After the news spread, some families with many men in their families also began to discuss arranging one or two sons to follow the relocation troops of the rescue army. Anyway, food and clothing are all controlled by the rescue army, so the family members at least don’t have to worry about them starving to death halfway.
After arranging the work, Hu Biao contacted the Shuo Information Group and soon arrived at the location of the Fifth War Zone Command. Just like the previous time, after sending a visitor post as usual, Li Zongren quickly changed his clothes and left quietly from the back door of his residence.
When he came to the inn where Hu Biao was, looking at Hu Biao who had already made tea and waited for a long time, Li Zongren also smiled and said, "Brother Hu, I finally have the opportunity to see my true face today. I received a telegram from Jiansheng before, and I have been looking forward to you coming!"
"Brother Delin, take the initiative to bother! Sorry!"
"That's the case! If you really want to thank me, it should be me. The medicine you sent to you last helped me a lot!"
"It is natural for both of the anti-Japanese war to help each other. On the way, I saw that all the troops were being mobilized frequently, and I thought I would have to fight again, right? I heard that the Japanese were also secretly raising troops. I think there would be another big battle here!"
"Brother, I'm very informative! Indeed, according to the tips I received, the Japanese want to have a fight with us in southern Henan!"
This secret meeting with Li Zongren was also to strengthen cooperation with the Guangxi clan. If you remember it correctly, the acting president who had served as a long time later. Although he was the one who was responsible for the blame for Lao Jiang, it also shows that he has a wide connection with the National Government.
In addition, with the Guizhou Clan as a backer, he was in charge of the Fifth War Zone for many years and had many direct generals in the army. It is beneficial to both of them to further deepen their cooperation with him. The previous battle in southern Guizhou also made the Guangxi Clan feel that they needed allies in the southwest.
Compared with the National Government, a very few people knew that Hu Biao was planning the Indochina colony, while Li and Bai knew very well that Hu Biao had laid a solid foundation in the Indochina colony and could compete with the colonial government just when the time was right.
What Li and Bai admired was Hu Biao's belief in his words. Even if the Guangxi territory that could be actually controlled, Hu Biao was willing to give in. Except for the Shillong agreed earlier, Hu Biao did not embezzle any of the territory controlled by the Guangxi division.
In addition, Hu Biao's rapid rise in Indochina also brought huge benefits to the Guangxi clique. In terms of public or private, Li Zong people could not think of a reason for the evil of Hu Biao. This is why he attaches so much importance to this secret meeting.
The conversation was still open all night, and the next day, Li Zongren secretly returned to his residence, and Hu Biao would leave quietly. Perhaps only the two of them knew what they had talked about in private. Hu Biao continued his inspection journey.
When Hu Biao appeared again, he had already secretly sneaked into the Taiyue base of the Eighth Route Army with his guard platoon. He learned that there was a command post for the Eighth Route Army's brigade headquarters not far away. Hu Biao immediately said: "At the end of this, send someone to send me a message and end the infiltration training!"
"Yes, wolf head!"
It is clear that the Eighth Route Army does have its own unique features in preventing the infiltration of the Japanese army. Seeing that there were more and more Eighth Route Army stationed in the infiltration area, Hu Biao did not want to continue infiltration to avoid any misunderstandings.
Although Hu Biao knew the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, he knew very well that once it continued to penetrate, it was very likely to be discovered by the peripheral troops guarding the headquarters. If he was really ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao would probably be in tears!
Besides, during this period, the Eighth Route Army had just experienced a large-scale attack, and the Japanese were desperately trying to retaliate. No one knew what would happen if the Eighth Route Army guarded the Eighth Route Army found Hu Biao and his party infiltrated.
Brigade Commander Chen, who was in the command center, heard someone sending me a greeting, and said in surprise: "Oh! Someone else sends me a visiting? I have also found this place! Where are the people who send the visiting?"
"Brig Commander, outside! This is the reply he handed over! By the way, that guy is not simple, you can tell at a glance that he is a soldier!"
"Uh! The soldier? Let's go and see!"
After seeing the five big words "Mr. Hu" written on the post, Brigade Commander Chen said in a tight heart: "It's not that one, right?"
When he saw the person who sent the visit, Brigade Commander Chen also said cautiously: "Where is your sir?"
"Can the chief's surname be Chen?"
"This is natural! Otherwise, this reply would not be my hand!"
"Can you know, who did my husband visit before?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Zhu? You little guy, you are very cautious!"
"The responsibility is! Please wait. My husband originally wanted to go directly to find Mr. Zhu of your department, but he passed by your department's defense zone and did not want a misunderstanding, so he specially sent a reply. It is related to the safety of the teacher, and I have to act cautiously!"
"It should be! Wait, have you guys come over and haven't you encountered my guards?"
"I met it! But the gentleman didn't want too many people to know that he was here, so he avoided it!"
As soon as these words were said, Brigade Commander Chen immediately realized that Mr. Hu was not a teacher, but to be precise, he was also a powerful general. Being able to quietly avoid the periphery guards is enough to show that Mr. Hu is indeed well-known!
When I arrived outside the village where the command center was located, as the guards who delivered the letter whistled a few times, a group of people in the costumes of the people quickly walked down the hillside next to me. The one who walked among the group was undoubtedly the extremely mysterious Mr. Hu.
Although this group of people seems ordinary, Brigade Commander Chen can tell at a glance that these people are all elites who have been fighting for the rest of their lives. With the combat level of the peripheral troops, it is really unlikely to find these people who are interested in hiding them!
