The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The timely return of the chief Yang Ling made the scattered and messy troops seem to have found their backbone, and their morale was immediately boosted.

After the Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing briefly reported the situation in Huaiyin to Yang Ling, Yang Ling finally had a general understanding of the current situation in Huaiyin.

"Where is the general referee? Why didn't they arrange the rear troops, and why was the retreat so chaotic?"

Yang Ling managed to manage the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. Although Baoying and Jieshou had been lost, they still had strength, but it was hard for Yang Ling to believe that he was beaten into such a mess by the devils.

"Well, I received an order from Chief Yuan to retreat. When I left the city, I heard that they had already retreated to the north. There are still some brothers in our battalion who have not come out in the city, so I am waiting here to gather brothers. Who knows the devils The cavalry is coming." Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing replied truthfully.

Hearing that Zongzhi's group of people fled for their lives regardless, and left the people and troops in the city to be chased and beaten by devils, Yang Ling also felt angry for no reason.

The Chinese army has never lacked brothers who dare to fight, but what is lacking is a commander who dares to take on the role. The reason why many large-scale battles were so powerful in the early stage and caused defeat in the later stage was that the poor command was a very important reason.

"How many of our brothers are there in the city now?"

The deputy captain Yuan Guangtao and the others could run away without caring, but Yang Ling couldn't ignore these brothers Pao Ze who hadn't withdrawn yet.

Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, replied: "I heard that Commander Zhang is still in the city. Many brothers in each battalion were blocked by the devils and have not been evacuated. We don't know exactly how many people there are."

Hearing the continuous gunshots and explosions in the city, Yang Ling knew without guessing that there must be many brothers who hadn't withdrawn.

"Mr. Yang, the devils are coming. I'll send someone to cover you and evacuate to a safe place first. I'll stay here to gather up the stragglers and guard the escape route for the brothers in the city." Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing asked Yang Ling to evacuate.

"Old Wu, how can I withdraw at this time." Yang Ling directly rejected the proposal of the Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing.

"I'll bring people back to the city to save my brother. Can you take people here to build fortifications here to cover us?" Yang Ling looked at the injured Wu Changqing and asked.

"I can hold on!" Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing swore.

"Well, I'll give you some brothers to help you, and I'll take the rest away." Yang Ling stood up as he spoke.

"Brothers, we still have countless brothers who have not withdrawn from the bloody battle with the little devil in the city. Those who are not afraid of death come to our side to gather. Let's fight back and rescue them!"

Yang Ling changed into a [-] rifle with a bayonet attached, stood there and shouted for the brothers to come and assemble.

"The ghost who is greedy for life and afraid of death has escaped, let's go back with Chief Yang!"

"Kill back! Hit the little devil!"

.......

The surrounding stragglers shouted and gathered under Yang Ling's banner again. Not long after, more than two hundred people gathered.

"All officers above the platoon leader of the squad will come out!"

Seeing that these disturbed brothers were not greedy for life and afraid of death, Yang Ling nodded in satisfaction.

After hearing Yang Ling's words, company commander Sun Liang and other officers with blood and dust all over their faces came out and stood in front of Yang Ling.

Yang Ling directly reorganized these brothers from different establishments into four combat platoons, with about 50 people in each platoon.

"Stay in the first row to listen to Commander Wu's orders, and the other three rows will check their weapons and ammunition, and follow me back to the city to save people!" Yang Ling looked at the brothers who were quickly reorganizing, and gave the order.

"Old Wu, we must guard the retreat passage in the north of the city, please."

"Don't worry, sir, people are retreating!"

Wu Changqing has regained his composure now, and is full of unprecedented trust in Yang Ling.

Yang Ling quickly said goodbye to Wu Changqing, the commander of the Second Battalion, and led more than 150 brothers over the fleeing crowd pouring out like a mud flow, and returned to the city.

The bustling Huaiyin run by the Subei Guerrilla Corps has become a mess due to the war. Packages and carts are randomly discarded on the streets, and countless terrified people are running out of the city with their families and their mouths.

War is like a plague that people can't dodge in time. The arrival of devils ignited the flames of war again in this city that had been quiet for a long time.

"Follow me, don't rush away!"

The streets were full of people fleeing for their lives. The brothers headed upstream towards the direction of the intense gunfire, under tremendous pressure, and if they didn't pay attention, they would be swept away by the crowd.

When the brothers walked up the current for a distance of 200 meters, the crowd in front suddenly became chaotic.

"The devil is here, the devil is here, run!"

Screams and cries came, the crowd ran out of the city at a sudden speed, and the streets were in chaos.

A detachment of devil infantry that broke into the city from the west gate and infiltrated it rushed to the main road near the north gate. Seeing the mighty fleeing civilians, they rushed out with hideous expressions.

Although there were only a dozen or so people in this devil's infantry squad, they were so arrogant that they didn't take it to heart when facing the unarmed civilians, and rushed out with all their teeth and claws.

Just as the devil expected, when he saw them rushing out with bayonets in hand, even though the streets were crowded with thousands of people at the moment, none of them dared to turn around and resist, and they all rushed towards the city gate desperately. run in the direction.

"Bang bang bang!"

The devils shot at these fleeing civilians recklessly, causing blood to splatter, and people kept falling in pools of blood.

"Hahahaha, cowardly Chinese people." Seeing these people fleeing in fear, Guizibing laughed wildly.

"Yoxi, stay with the flower girl!"

A devil soldier saw a young woman taking a picture of them with a camera in front of him, and was immediately excited. A devil soldier shot into the sky and shouted loudly.

"Su Yan, hurry up, the devil is after us."

Seeing the devils charging towards them with a gun in hand, the man next to reporter Su Yan changed his expression wildly, and hurriedly grabbed Su Yan who was still holding a camera in his hand and ran away.

Seeing a few devils rushing over excitedly, the reporter Su Yan also had a pretty pale face, and staggered to run after the man next to him.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The devil was chasing his own prey, laughing and shooting while chasing, the bullets fell around Su Yan and the others, and pillars of smoke slipped out of the ground.

Su Yan, who has always boasted of being brave and stationed in the Sulu war zone, was so frightened that she almost cried in fear of the bullets flying around her. She had never felt that death was so close to her.

It was also hard for the devil to see such a beautiful woman. Naturally, he shot the gun very measuredly, as if teasing his prey. Although the bullets flew around, they didn't really hit them.

"boom!"

"what!"

When Su Yan and the others were closely pursued by the devils, the male reporter who was with Su Yan was shot in the leg and rolled on the ground with a cry of pain.

"Su Yan hastily turned around and wanted to pull her up, but how can a weak woman pull a big man up?"

"Come on, leave me alone."

Enduring the severe pain, the male reporter was sweating profusely when he saw the little devil who had already rushed over.
