The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 225 Five Days of Rest
Faced with Hu Biao's judgment and thoughts, among the time travelers, except for Zanana, the mixed-race girl who has lived abroad for a long time, no one else showed any surprise.

Especially the veterans such as Chen Tang, Mo Shuiyan, Xu Feng and Huang Yizi.

They even looked like they knew it a long time ago, and they didn't want you to talk nonsense.

Mainly because before this time of crossing over, when everyone was resting in the modern plane, they discussed crossing over many times in the group.

The question is whether you want to go to Baota City or other places based on your loyalty to our party.

Although after some discussion, everyone finally chose to go to the northwest Shanxi base, they also learned a lot about the situations in other bases.

For example: At the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the base in Shandong Province had been established.

Even in September this year, the 9th Division, one of our army's current main forces, will come to the base in Shandong Province to strengthen its strength here.

After several years of development with the joint efforts of the military and civilians, it finally became the strongest of the seven bases of our party. After the Anti-Japanese War, it was able to pull out seven army groups at once.

So, Boss Qian and his men are members of our party.

Chen Tang and the others also noticed this early on, and didn't find it surprising at all.

In addition, they thought that Hu Biao had changed his mind and decided not to go to northwest Shanxi, and now planned to stay in the base area of ​​Shandong Province to develop; after thinking about this change, they felt that it seemed to be a pretty good choice.

For a moment, they thought that they didn't have to go around everywhere, and they could just stay in Shandong Province and fight the Japanese under the command of our party. Suddenly, everyone's mood became very good.

But Hu Biao's next words made them a little uneasy.

Because this statement of failure was quite different from what they expected.

Hu Biao rolled a trumpet-shaped cigarette with the dry tobacco leaves provided by the villagers, took a deep puff, and started coughing like a tractor on the spot.

After recovering, he spoke:
"I have decided not to go to the Northwest Shanxi base area yet. I plan to rest here for a few days. Once everyone has recovered a little, I will set off immediately to join the battle in Taierzhuang."

"Damn it! Are you possessed by evil spirits and determined to fight the National Army to the end?" Upon hearing this, Chen Tang, a PLA veteran, became unhappy.

After taking a small puff of his trumpet-shaped tobacco, Hu Biao explained:

"Of course not. Most of the Nationalist soldiers are good guys, but those guys up there are just bullshit. They're determined to fight the Nationalist soldiers. Aren't they just asking for trouble?"

After hearing what Hu Biao said, Chen Tang stopped cursing.

Hu Biao continued to speak, and spoke out his plan all at once:
"The principle of joining our party will definitely not change, and the plan to go to the base area in northwest Shanxi will not change; but we need to wait until we have won the Battle of Taierzhuang before we can consider these matters.

That's right! I know that the bloody battle between us and Commander Wang and others in Teng County bought enough time for the rear.

Now, Commander Li from the Fifth War Zone has set up a pocket formation in Taierzhuang.

Just wait for the Japanese Seya Detachment to come to our door and give them a good beating. This battle can basically be an invaluable victory, just like in history.

But I am still somewhat unwilling to accept this result and think it is far from enough.

Why did we suffer such a terrible defeat in Teng County, with so many casualties? Commander Wang, Mr. Zhou Tong, all these people died in the city, but in the end, we couldn't even completely wipe out the Seya Detachment of the Japanese?
That's right! I know that mysterious place won't allow us to change history, but I'm still ready to take a chance. What if a small change like this is still within the scope of his permission?

In short, I am planning to go to Taierzhuang and have some fun.

But our team doesn't have a one-man show. Should we go to Taierzhuang? This is a matter of everyone voting together, which means the minority obeys the majority."

After Hu Biao finished speaking about all his thoughts, everyone fell silent.

After a while, Xu thought of the home of a fellow villager where he stayed in the afternoon.

There was a girl in the family who was planning to get married, but she took out the big red quilt she had prepared for her wedding, just so that she could sleep more comfortably and have a good rest so that she could continue to fight the Japanese devils.

The taciturn Old Yu was the first to raise his hand, and surprisingly managed to utter a few more words:
"I agree with Sipujie's idea. We must kill Seya Kei, the commander of the Seya Detachment. Oh, and the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment attacking Teng County, Colonel Yaezō Akashiba, must not be spared either. Now that they've arrived, we must prepare to bury them in this land and turn them into fertilizer."

"Forget it! What good are the devils? Even if we bury them, they won't fertilize the fields. They're worse than a pile of dog shit."

The next second, Mo Shuiyan started complaining like this, but it did not affect him at all as he raised one arm to express his agreement to go to Taierzhuang.

If he had to have any opinion, it would be that he could go a few days earlier so that he would have time to go to Xuzhou.

Xuzhou has been a big city since ancient times. It should not be a problem to find some simple machine tools there, so that he can also process some better equipment.

In the following time, Chen Tang, Annie, Huang Yizi, Xufeng, Wizard, Zanana, and Mr. Nan Ze also expressed their opinions one by one.

Everyone raised their hands in agreement, which was considered a unanimous approval of the proposal to go to Taierzhuang and completely wipe out the Seya Detachment.

But even so, this meeting has just begun.

Because they want to completely wipe out the Seya Detachment, they also need to look at the original historical experience to see which links need to make some changes and preparations.

In the end, the meeting started at 8 pm and lasted until just after 11 pm. Everyone spoke enthusiastically and discussed for three hours before they finally decided on some general directions.

The specific details of the operation will need to be finalized after arriving in Taierzhuang and adjusting according to the actual situation...

******
From a distance, I saw Hu Biao and others standing up one after another. It must be after the discussion was over.

Boss Qian then walked up to Hu Biao and the others and said with a smile, "Commander Hu, and the other commanders, are you hungry again?

I've had some mutton soup prepared for everyone to drink to warm up and then go to rest."

Wow! The folks here are really enthusiastic. Not only did they kill a big fat pig in the afternoon, but now they have slaughtered a sheep. They can't wait to take out all the good things on hand.

The warmth in everyone's hearts made them more determined to join our party after the Battle of Taierzhuang.

But let’s talk about drinking mutton soup later, they have more important things to do.

Led by Hu Biao, a group of 11 people representing the Subei Independent Regiment solemnly saluted Boss Qian, and then Hu Biao said:

"Mr. Qian, please help me contact your superior.

Tell them that if Hu survives the Battle of Taierzhuang, he is willing to lead all the members of the Subei Independent Regiment to join our Party, and will pledge to obey our Party's command and win victory after victory against the Japanese.

After hearing the above request, Boss Qian's face immediately became excited.

He took a step forward, firmly grasped Hu Biao's hand, and said solemnly, "Comrades, on behalf of the Special Committee of the Jiangsu-Luoyang-Anhui Border Region, I welcome you to join us."

Comrade, this is rarely used in the modern world except in very few serious occasions.

Even because of some stupid ambiguity, ordinary people would be so angry when being called like this that they couldn't express it in their hearts, but the words would still fall into their ears.

Hu Biao and others felt a strong sense of mission of "sharing the same ideals".

That night! After a conversation with Hu Biao and others, Boss Qian left the village with a few people.

The main thing is that the famous Subei Independent Regiment, as well as Hu Biao and Hu Tuanzuo’s willingness to join our party is a bit too big a matter. Boss Qian must report it immediately, and even let the great man know.

There were only two or three radios, an advanced communication tool, in the entire Su-Lu-Yu-An Border Region Special Committee, and Boss Qian and others did not have any.

But fortunately, before he left, he promised to be back within five days.

According to the plan of Hu Biao and others, they will rest in the small village for five days.
