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

The battle lasted from midnight to dawn, and the officers and soldiers of the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps who were holding on to the Black Wolf Village almost failed to hold on.

At this moment, the bandits retreated, and the bloody officers and soldiers who were fighting had already lost their strength and could no longer hold on. They collapsed on the ground and gasped heavily.

Yang Ling ordered the officers and soldiers of the first battalion to pursue the bandits, while the officers and soldiers of the second battalion stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, and he led a group of officers to the dilapidated village to see how Zhang Liechen and the others were doing.

Walking along the way, beside those scorched craters, bandits lying down radially can be seen everywhere.

The good luck of these bandits who usually rob houses and homes has come to an end, they even caught the attention of the anti-Japanese team, and now they died here in vain, completely turning into a cold corpse.

Some bandits who did not have time to escape became captives of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. Facing the murderous guerrilla officers and soldiers, their heads were drooping and their faces full of fear at the moment, and they were driven to the open space by the officers and soldiers with guns , From time to time, the wailing of the injured bandits came.

Zhang Liechen led a group of blood-stained staff officers out of the village. Seeing the familiar faces of Yang Ling and the officers, he almost couldn't hold back his tears.

They have gone through several dangerous situations since Huaiyin broke through. If the officers and soldiers hadn't fought bravely, they would have collapsed by now.

Now that the combat troops had gathered in the mountain, and the threat of bandits in the Xiaoqingshan camp had been eliminated, Zhang Liechen was also deeply moved.

"Sir!"

Zhang Liechen and the others stopped a few steps away from Yang Ling, stood up and raised their hands to salute.

"Old Zhang, you have worked hard." After Yang Ling returned the gift, he stepped forward to give Zhang Liechen a bear hug, announcing that the combat troops and the logistics troops had joined.

The officers of the combat troops behind Yang Ling also stepped forward to hug the staff officers, tears filled their eyes, and greeted each other very cordially.

In these turbulent years, the brothers who fought shoulder to shoulder with each other saw each other again, and they were filled with emotion.

"How about the casualties?"

Seeing the battered village and piles of dead bodies, Yang Ling asked Zhang Liechen with concern.

"There are a lot of casualties, and the medical team is doing their best to rescue the wounded." Zhang Liechen stepped aside to get out of the way, and walked with Yang Ling into the village: "Fortunately, our two teams have reunited, and the bandits will never dare to attack us again. gone."

Now that he had the guards of the combat troops, Zhang Liechen finally felt relieved, because he had incomparable confidence in the combat troops.

These officers and soldiers will not lose in the hands of the little devils, and a mere group of ragtag bandits can be wiped out with a wave of their hands.

"Do you know the details of these bandits?"

Yang Ling didn't expect to fight the bandits as soon as he entered the mountain, and he was particularly concerned about the situation of these bandits.

After all, if their Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps wanted to gain a foothold in the mountains, if there were always some uncontrolled bandit activities around them, it would always be a threat to them.

"I have previously sent people from the Intelligence Department to investigate the situation of bandits on various hills. The largest group is from Hutou Village in Hutou Mountain. There are about a thousand people. There are dozens of other small people, one or two hundred more. , we have records."

"These bandits have always been a threat to us. This time they actually attacked us. We can't let them go. Let the people in the combat department formulate a plan to suppress the bandits. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll give orders later."

Zhang Liechen was also enraged by the bandits' attack this time. Back then, he still wanted to live in peace with these bandits. After all, they were all Chinese. He wanted to keep shooting devils at gunpoint.

But now he realizes how naive his thoughts are. These bandits have no concept of family and country in their hearts, and even dare to fight against the anti-Japanese team. If this is the case, there is no need for them to be polite.

Accompanied by Zhang Liechen, Yang Ling inspected the defense of the entire Black Wolf Village and visited the officers and soldiers injured in the battle.

The officer Yang Ling led the team back and beat off the bandits. The officers and soldiers guarding the village were very moved, as if they had found their backbone. Although they were all scarred, their faces were extremely excited.

"You are all brave soldiers. You performed very well in this battle. Everyone recover from your injuries and strive to return to the team as soon as possible."

Yang Ling commended and encouraged these injured officers and soldiers, which made these officers and soldiers feel extremely proud and proud, and strengthened their responsibilities in fighting against the bandits to save the country and protecting the people.

These injured officers and soldiers are all veterans of the army, and they are also the backbone of the reorganized and strengthened army in the future. Yang Ling attaches great importance to them and ordered the military doctors to treat them as much as possible so that they can return to the army.

After Yang Ling visited the wounded soldiers, he went to the private camp that was burned to the ground. Seeing the people looking for usable things in the ruins, Yang Ling and the others felt extremely sad.

These civilians and military families followed them from Huaiyin to break through into the mountainous area of ​​southern Lu. Now they have just settled down, and they were attacked by bandits, so that they lost everything. It can be said that they have gone through hardships.

Although during the battle, the common people hid in ravines and woods one after another in order to worry about accidental injury.

But their houses were set on fire by the bandits and burned down, and their life after that was lost, even their clothes for changing. Many people looked at the ruins in a daze, not knowing what to do in the days to come.

"This time the bandits attacked and caused everyone to suffer losses, but I, Yang Ling, hereby assure everyone that this is the only time, nothing like this will happen again in the future, and there will be no more bandits around here in the future!"

Yang Ling's arrival brought the people back to life, but they still felt helpless in the face of the burned camp.

As an officer, Yang Ling felt heartbroken, but he also understood that at times like this, the army and the people must work together to tide over the difficulties.

"The home is gone, we still have hands, we can rebuild, and our North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps will try our best to help everyone rebuild their homes."

"Old Zhang, take out all the cloth we have in stock and distribute it to the folks, and distribute some of the grain in stock to help everyone, so that everyone can get over the hurdle in front of us."

"Thank you, sir, you are a good man."

"Thank you, Mr. Yang."

......

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the helpless people were very moved and thanked Yang Ling one after another.

"In the face of a national crisis, we, the army and the people, should work together to tide over the difficulties. When the little devils are beaten away, everyone will be able to live a good life again."

"Sir, you are right, we will tide over the difficulties together!" Yang Ling's words resonated with everyone.

After Yang Ling walked around the new camp in Xiaoqingshan, he was very affirmed by Zhang Liechen and the others for their efforts.

They will build a new anti-Japanese base area for their northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps with Xiaoqingshan as the center, and strive to regroup and restore their strength as soon as possible.

Text 260 Chapter [-] Meeting

After defeating the bandits and cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Liechen also ordered the kitchen to make some food and wine for Yang Ling and the others, to cleanse them up.

But just after a battle, the brothers suffered a lot of casualties. There were many things to do, such as treating the wounded and rebuilding houses, so the meal was eaten quickly without too much delay.

After the meal, Yang Ling called all the officers and staff officers above the company level to hold the first meeting after the reunion of the troops to arrange the next work.

Yang Ling and the others led the little devil here and there, and fought several battles with the little devil. They rushed into the mountain to join Zhang Liechen and the others, and now they finally settled down in the mountain.

But no one knew if the little devil would follow him into the mountain, so the first thing Yang Ling arranged was to have the intelligence department send agents and intelligence personnel out of the mountain to find out about the little devil.

"This time we broke out from Huaiyin, many brothers were scattered in the melee. The intelligence personnel who came out of the mountain had to rely on the cover of the local people to build some shelters and take back our scattered brothers."

Yang Ling's defeat in Huaiyin this time can be said to be a considerable loss. The several combat battalions under his command suffered heavy losses. Now there are only six or seven hundred combat brothers left, and Huaiyin is also lost.

"Of course, for the brothers who have been taken in, don't bring them directly to our base area, first inspect them for a period of time and carefully screen them to prevent any defectors from mixing into our team."

Everyone agrees with Yang Ling's words. After all, the brothers who are alone have been outside for so long, and there is no guarantee that some of them will be captured and join the enemy. Screening is also necessary.

"We lost most of our heavy machine guns and artillery in this breakout. After several battles, the ammunition was exhausted, the radio station was also lost and contact with the theater command was lost, so your intelligence office needs to send a few more people this time. The liaison officer rushed to the theater command, tried to contact the theater command, reported our situation, and obtained a batch of supplies."
