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

"It'll be fine soon, it'll be fine soon."

The cooking squad leader said that he did not forget to add a handful of firewood under the cauldron to make the fire burn hotter.

Not long after, as the cooking squad leader yelled that the meal was ready, brothers holding bowls rushed to the cauldron one after another, scrambling to scoop up the food.

"Slow down, don't burn..."

Seeing many brothers pouring hot porridge with wild vegetables into their mouths, the cooking squad leader hurriedly reminded them.

These ragged brothers were obviously very hungry. Although the wild vegetable porridge in the bowl was so hot that they grinned, they kept feeding it to their mouths.

And when the officers and soldiers were devouring their meals around the cauldron, the image of the officers in the tent was not much better.

"Damn, I finally had a full meal."

Liu Zhi, commander of the Fifth Battalion of the Subei Guerrilla Corps, put boiled potatoes in one hand and a bowl of gruel in the other, sweating profusely from eating.

"It's really uncomfortable to be hungry, you little devils, let them starve later!" Deputy Battalion Commander Knife also gobbled it up, cursing indistinctly.

"Everyone eats, but if you have been hungry for a long time, don't be overwhelmed. Tell me, all the brothers can only drink two bowls of porridge tonight."

Yang Ling looked at these brothers who were eating like a storm, and kindly reminded them.

When retreating from Huaiyin that day, Yang Ling led more than [-] officers and soldiers along the road to lead away the devils and cover Zhang Liechen and the others to retreat into the mountains.

Because they had to face the little devil's pursuit and fight, Yang Ling and the others didn't carry much logistics food, and they almost went wherever they went to resupply.

But later, they were chased by the devils, and they had no choice but to turn into the wilderness and left the town. Their pure combat force was facing a shortage of food.

Although I fought a few battles with the little devils and captured some food, but the physical exertion of the battle march was already high, and the things captured were not enough to eat.

Fortunately, they got rid of the devil's pursuers in time, and also entered the mountainous area in southern Shandong. After many inquiries, they came towards Xiaoqingshan.

Yang Ling, who had run out of food, met Wang Dongming and the others who were stationed here at Heifengkou, and only then did they get food supplies.

If they couldn't find the team that retreated into the mountain first, Yang Ling and the others would really have to go hungry to dig wild vegetables on the mountain.

The two teams, which had been separated for almost half a month, reunited again, which made Wang Dongming, the deputy battalion commander who had been on tenterhooks, relieved.

Although they entered the mountain first, most of them were civilians and logistics units. Their strength was stretched, and they had to temporarily bow their heads to the bandits.

But now that Yang Ling and the others are back, these are the elite combat troops who broke out from Huaiyin, and they can't even please a little devil, let alone a mere bandit.

The deputy battalion commander, Wang Dongming, took advantage of Yang Ling and the others' meal time, and gave Yang Ling a brief report on the series of things after they separated.

It was also very gratifying to hear that Zhang Liechen and the others wiped out the bandits in the Black Wolf Village and gained a firm foothold in Xiaoqingshan where the Black Wolf Village is located.

This also meant that they had a foothold in the mountains. Although they encountered heavy attacks from the little devils in the plains, they suffered heavy losses.

But in this mountainous area south of Shandong, if the little devil wants to eliminate them, it will not be so easy. He has enough confidence to make the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps re-emerge and become an elite division that makes the little devil fearful.

Although the two parties have not been separated for a long time, both parties have encountered various dangers, and when they talked about it at the dinner table, they were all embarrassing.

However, the meeting of the two troops boosted the morale of the brothers. Yang Ling and the others didn't have to worry about food, and the logistics units that retreated into the mountains didn't have to worry about bandits.

When Yang Ling and the others joined the Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming and the others at Heifengkou and stopped here to rest, the messengers sent by Zhang Liechen also arrived.

The messengers rushed to the outpost camp at Heifengkou, mainly to bring Zhang Liechen's order to ask the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming to bring the officers and soldiers of this company back for reinforcements.

But who knew that seeing Yang Ling and the others entering the mountain here, he was immediately overjoyed and told about their current situation, making Yang Ling realize that Zhang Liechen and the others' current situation was not very good.

"Order the troops to gather and go to Xiaoqingshan."

After Yang Ling heard the situation described by the messenger, he temporarily changed his mind about resting at Heifengkou before going to Xiaoqingshan to meet Zhang Liechen and the others. Instead, he decided to rush there overnight.

"Sir, brothers are all tired, why don't I take people back first."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming looked at Yang Ling and the others haggard, and offered a suggestion.

"It's okay, brothers have a full meal, you have to digest it." Yang Ling smiled and rejected the suggestion of deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming.

Yang Ling ordered: "This is the dangerous pass leading to Xiaoqingshan. I will leave you another company of brothers. You must guard this place."

"Don't worry, sir, the people are on the ground!" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Dongming assured, patted his chest.

Yang Ling didn't stay too long. After leaving a company of troops to assist the deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming in guarding the dangerous Heifengkou, he immediately led the rest of the troops to Xiaoqingshan under the leadership of the messenger.

The brothers reported a meal, and after a short rest, their spirits improved a lot. They talked and laughed along the way, and they seemed extraordinarily relaxed.

When they had just crossed the pass of a mountain, suddenly a brother pointed to the darkness in the distance and shouted: "What is it over there? Why is it on fire?"

Yang Ling and the others stopped and looked into the distance. They saw something burning in the mountains, and there were faint gunshots.

"Too bad, the bandits must be attacking Xiaoqingshan." The messenger's face changed suddenly when he saw the direction of the fire.

"Order the troops, speed up the march!"

Yang Ling didn't expect that Xiaoqingshan was really attacked by bandits, so he didn't dare to delay and ordered the troops to march faster.

The troops crossed the pass, went down the winding mountain road, and headed straight for the direction of the fire. As the distance approached, the sound of gunfire and explosions became clearer.

"Report sir, there seems to be an ambush in the woods ahead!"

When Yang Ling and the others were about to pass through a forest, some brothers from the investigation team in front rushed back to report.

"blacksmith!"

"Have!"

A battalion commander, Blacksmith, responded.

"Take someone from behind and kill them for me! I'll give you 10 minutes to resolve the battle!"

"Yes!"

"Brothers from the first battalion come with me!"

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion carrying guns immediately left the mountain road, and under the leadership of the battalion commander blacksmith, they touched from behind the woods.

Text Chapter 250 Chapter [-] Unprepared

Under the dim moonlight, a group of about 200 bandits armed with guns were scattered and hidden in a forest, preparing to ambush the officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps who came back from Heifengkou to help Xiaoqingshan.

The bandits have well-planned plans, but wise men are bound to make mistakes. They underestimated the detection capabilities of the Subei Guerrilla Corps.

Although the bandit leader who was hiding in the woods and preparing to launch an ambush tried his best to restrain his men to keep quiet, the bandits got used to being undisciplined, and some people still ignored orders and whispered to each other, so that the brothers from the reconnaissance squad of the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps discovered the movement in the woods.

Now the 200st Battalion of the Subei Guerrilla Corps has been fighting a series of fierce battles, and there are only more than [-] brothers left. Although these half a month of fighting with the devils, the military uniforms are torn into cloth strips, and they look exhausted.
