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

Now that the devil has taken the initiative to attack, the troops trapped in the city are passively defending, and now Yang Ling wants to regain the initiative.

"Are the respective tasks clear?" Yang Ling quickly assigned the tasks.

"clear!"

The gathered company platoon leaders looked at Yang Ling's arrangement and naturally understood Yang Ling's intentions.

They were attacked by the devils before, and then retreated hastily and fell into the siege of the devils due to the confusion of command. It can be said that they have been holding their breath in their hearts.

It's not that their combat effectiveness is not strong, it's just that they were a little flustered because of the situation at the time, which led to a wrong step.

Now that they have stabilized their position again, and the commander Yang Ling has also returned, the brothers have regained their confidence, and they naturally want to avenge their shame.

"Tell the brothers under your command that the little devil wants to eat us in one bite, so don't be too polite, let me break the devil's teeth first!"

The Yamaguchi Infantry Brigade raided Huaiyin and caused heavy losses to the Subei Guerrilla Corps. Naturally, Yang Ling couldn't swallow this breath, so now he wanted to tell the little devil that they were not easy to bully.

"Go down and get ready." After Yang Ling finished setting out the task, he waved his hand to let the platoon leaders with clenched fists go down and get ready.

"Sir, what am I doing?"

Seeing that these even the platoon leaders had missions, but the vice-chief himself had nothing to do, Zhang Liechen, the vice-chief, asked hastily.

"Old Zhang, leave the battle to me. You can organize the lightly wounded and those who are willing to evacuate to evacuate from the north of the city. Old Wu has already led people to guard outside the north city. There is no need to worry." Yang Ling told Zhang Liechen.

"Sir, since you're back, Huaiyin will definitely be able to hold on. I don't think we need to organize a retreat." Zhang Liechen had full confidence in Yang Ling.

Yang Ling shook his head and said: "Although it is only a devil's infantry brigade attacking Huaiyin, we can handle it for the time being, but if Baoying's devil's main force finds out that we have deceived them, they will definitely rush towards Huaiyin. The strength cannot beat them."

"Besides, our North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has suffered so many losses from the devils and killed so many high-ranking officials. Now we have stabbed a hornet's nest and become a thorn in the devil's side. They will not let us go until we are eliminated. .”

"Although we can't fight, we can ask the surrounding friendly troops for reinforcements. Yang Zhonghua's Eighth Security Brigade is not far from us..."

After hearing Yang Ling's analysis, Zhang Liechen, the vice captain, also looked solemn, but he was still unwilling to withdraw like this.

"If the friendly army can contain the devils, why do we fight so hard? These are the masters of no profit, and we can't put our wealth and lives on them." Yang Ling reminded.

"That's true, this time the Shankou Brigade quietly appeared under our Huaiyin City, and the Eighth Brigade didn't even fart. Otherwise, how could we be so passive." The deputy captain Zhang Liechen also agreed a little bit. head.

"Then, sir, should we retreat to Siyang or Lianshui?" Zhang Liechen pulled the map over and asked Yang Ling for his opinion.

The situation was too urgent at that time. When Yuan Guangtao and the others evacuated, they only said to evacuate Huaiyin first, so Zhang Liechen didn't know where Yuan Guangtao and the others evacuated. Now that Yang Ling came back, he naturally listened to Yang Ling's opinion.

"We will neither withdraw to Siyang nor Lianshui." Yang Ling pointed his finger to the north directly: "All withdraw to Lunan."

"Lunan?" Zhang Liechen's gaze moved northward from the map, and he couldn't help frowning: "Sir, is it too far away, there is absolutely no need for us to retreat that far."

With the establishment of the Wang puppet government in Nanjing, the devils and the puppet army will carry out a so-called large-scale purge campaign against the occupied areas. The situation will be even more cruel than it is now. Zhang Liechen doesn't know it, but Yang Ling knows it.

Now the terrain in Huaiyin and northern Jiangsu is too flat, even if they are fighting guerrillas, they have nowhere to hide. Once they face the heavy encirclement and suppression of the devils, they will be in trouble.

So this time, Yang Ling also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to directly pull the troops into the mountainous area of ​​southern Shandong.

"Although the distance seems to be a bit far, the mountainous area in southern Shandong is more suitable for us to fight guerrillas, and it is also easier to fight for a long time. This is also the result of my careful consideration." Yang Ling said bluntly.

It is much easier to rely on mountainous areas to fight than to rely on plain areas. Even if the little devils encircle and suppress them, they will not be able to fight if they go deep into the deep mountains and old forests, and the devils will have to catch them blind.

Moreover, they are backed by the mountainous area of ​​southern Shandong, so they don't blindly hide in the mountains and stay hidden, but they can actively attack the devils in the plains while hiding themselves.

At that time, it will be a situation where you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. It is not like you are always surrounded by devils, chasing and beating, and falling into a passive state.

"Then do we need to ask the theater command for instructions? After all, troop relocation is a big deal." Although Zhang Liechen, the deputy commander, agreed with Yang Ling, he still felt that it was necessary to go through the process.

"Do you have a radio station now?" Yang Ling asked back.

"This radio station has been withdrawn with the commander in chief..."

"That's it, let's execute the order."

"Yes!" Looking at Yang Ling's confident expression, Zhang Liechen didn't say anything, and immediately went to organize the evacuation of the wounded and the common people.

"Sir, the hundred brothers you asked me to pick are all ready, and the ammunition can last a battle." As soon as Zhang Liechen went out, the deputy battalion commander Dao Zi came in.

"Well, when we fight with the devil to attract the devil's attention, you can go around and rescue those brothers who are divided and surrounded, can you do it?" Yang Ling asked, staring at the knife.

"Don't worry, sir, even if you risk your life, you will rescue the brothers who were divided and surrounded." The deputy battalion commander assured, patting his chest with his knife.

Text 110 Chapter [-] Fierce Battle in the Ruins

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the devils completed the artillery preparations before the attack.

"Your Excellency Captain, the attack is ready."

Soon, the reports of the various offensive tactical units at the front of the Devils were summarized to the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu.

Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu looked at the ruined Huaiyin, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

This time, he wanted to wipe out the remnants of the northern Jiangsu guerrillas in the city, regain Huaiyin, and rebuild the military prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Let's start." Commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu gave the order to attack.

"Hay!"

The devil's combat staff officer nodded to the semaphore soldier next to him, and the semaphore soldier immediately waved the small flag in his hand to convey the command of the commander Yamaguchi Akamatsu to attack.

The four 75mm mountain cannons deployed in the fields outside Huaiyin City have been calibrated to shoot at Zhuyuan. After seeing the banners of the semaphore soldiers, they immediately acted, and the shells slid into the barrels.

Following the strange scream of the devil's artillery commander, the four 75mm mountain cannons released a ball of red light, and the shells flew out with a roar. The huge recoil when firing made the steel plate on the ground deep deeply embedded in the soil.

"Boom! Boom!"

Soon, the artillery shells smashed into the city with a terrifying aura like piercing gold and cracking rocks, making a deafening roar, and the earth trembled suddenly.

Four scorching mushroom clouds suddenly soared into the air, and the air waves of the explosion swept towards the surroundings radially, all the rubble and windows were shattered in an instant.

The brothers behind the first-line bunker were shrouded in billowing gunpowder smoke, scorching fragments mixed with gravel fell like rain, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of dust.

The brothers' ears became deaf for a short time during the bang, and they couldn't hear anything. The gunpowder smoke blocked their sight, and their eyes were darkened. The whole person was knocked off balance by the shock wave of the air wave, and fell on the ground. land.

When the brothers didn't feel the tremor, they brushed off the thick dust from their bodies and turned their heads to look. The houses behind them had completely disappeared and were directly razed to the ground by the shells, which made the brothers look shocked. .

"You little devils, they are bombarding you indiscriminately."

Yang Ling and the others were lying in ambush on the street behind. They saw several houses disappearing from sight amidst the smoke rising from the front, and they were cursing fiercely.

"Little devils are two-legged beasts, there is nothing they can't do." Facing the devil's indiscriminate bombardment, some people are not surprised.

"Let the brothers disperse more, the little devil looks like he is going to risk his life this time."
