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

Encountering shelling, the officers were terrified and persuaded Peng Shan's headquarters to move back.

"I think it's very good here. It's convenient to command the battle. I don't think there is any need to worry about it." The army commander Peng Shan didn't care much, and directly refused.

"The military seat..." Someone wanted to persuade him.

"That's the matter. I heard that a troop from the Sulu war zone has arrived in the city. What is the name of their commander Yang?" Peng Shan, the commander, changed the subject.

"It's Yang Ling." Someone reported.

"Oh yes, Yang Ling, send someone to invite him to the military headquarters."

The first thousand and 340 chapters of the text talk

After Yang Ling brought the brothers of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade into the city, he quickly contacted the 18th Army, and contacted the people in the Liaison Office of the Fifth Theater through their radio, reporting their current location and situation, ready to receive further instructions.

After all, they came from the Sulu War Zone, and the purpose of going to the Fifth War Zone was to assist the troops of the Fifth War Zone in combat. It was up to customers to do whatever they wanted. When they arrived on the territory of the Fifth War Zone, everything had to obey the orders of the Fifth War Zone.

All the troops in the fifth war zone fought with the little devils. Now this area is full of battlefields, and the two sides are fighting together in a dog-tooth criss-cross.

Yang Ling and his small army, who came all the way to assist in the battle, lost contact with a liaison officer who was in charge of responding. This liaison officer has been anxious for the past two days like an ant on a hot pot.

But trying to find such a small army on such a chaotic battlefield is not much different from finding a needle in a haystack.

The liaison officer was even more worried about the safety of Yang Ling and the others. After all, they were small in number. If they accidentally collided with the devil's army, they might be wiped out.

When the liaison officer was asking around for news about Yang Ling and the others, Yang Ling and the others finally took the initiative to contact them through the 18th Army's radio station, which made the liaison officer heave a sigh of relief.

But immediately, the liaison officer became restless again, because Yang Ling and the others were in the center of the storm, Yichang.

Everyone knew that Yichang was about to face a big battle. It was obviously unsafe for Yang Ling and the others to stay in Yichang, so the liaison officer told Yang Ling and the others to leave Yichang immediately and wait for an opportunity in a safe place.

After all, the radio station belonged to the 18th Army. When Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, heard about Yang Ling and the others, he immediately wanted to detain Yang Ling and the others.

Now that the devils were overwhelming the situation, their troops guarding Yichang were already stretched thin, but now that he had heard that Yang Ling and the others were very powerful, how could he let Yang Ling and the others leave.

So while he sent someone to talk to the liaison officer in the war zone, trying to get Yang Ling and the others to stay and help defend the city, on the other hand, he was going to meet Yang Ling and hear their opinions.

Although Yang Ling stayed in the Sulu war zone behind the enemy for a while, he also made a big mess behind the enemy and won many battles.

Peng Shan even learned about Yang Ling's past from the staff of the intelligence department. When he heard that he participated in the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Lanfeng and the Battle of Wanjialing, he became even more interested in Yang Ling.

After all, it is not easy to survive these cruel battles, and it is not easy to achieve good results.

Moreover, before Yang Ling went to the Sulu theater, he was the head of the ace unit's 74th Army, and now the 74th Army's name was no weaker than their 18th Army. Naturally, Peng Shan would not let such a talent go.

If he had the opportunity to get Yang Ling under his command, he would be even more powerful. It was because of various ideas that he took time out of his busy schedule to talk to Yang Ling in person.

Yang Ling was taking his brothers from the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade to rest in Yichang waiting for orders from the war zone. A staff officer from the 18th Army came and asked him to go to the military headquarters.

Who knew that when he arrived at the headquarters of the 18th Army, he did not get the result of contacting the theater, but instead was taken into a temporary reception room next to the headquarters.

When he saw the middle-aged officer standing in the living room smiling and staring at him, Yang Ling was also taken aback.

Because he saw the opponent's lieutenant general's epaulets, and it turned out that a general wanted to see him, Yang Ling was also shivering.

He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately bumped his heels together and stood up to salute.

"Subei Guerrilla Corps in the Sulu War Zone, Colonel Yang Ling has met the officer!"

Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army, graduated from the first phase of Whampoa. He has successively served as platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, regiment commander, and brigade commander.

From the moment Yang Ling entered the door, he looked up and down this young officer with a good record. When he saw that Yang Ling was wearing rough clothes stained with gunpowder and blood, but he acted like an iron-blooded soldier, he was already very satisfied.

Commander Peng Shan did not neglect Yang Ling because of his high position and authority, but stood up and raised his hand in return for a military salute, then extended his hand with a smile.

"Sure enough, I'm Peng Shan, the commander of the 18th Army. You are welcome to come to Yichang to assist us in the battle. Please forgive us for the lack of hospitality." Peng Shan said with a smile .

Yang Ling also reached out to shake Peng Shan's hand, but he was full of doubts, because he heard other meanings from Peng Shan's words.

They came here under the orders of the fifth war zone, why did they come all the way to help guard Yichang now?Could this be a new order given to them by the theater command?

But since Peng Shan didn't say anything, Yang Ling was not in a hurry, and replied seriously: "Sir, we are serious. As soldiers, it is our duty to protect our home and country. We don't dare to be picky about life, as long as we can beat devils. "

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Army Commander Peng Shan nodded in satisfaction and invited Yang Ling to sit down.

"I heard that you fought the little devil in Zhijiang?" After the two parties sat down, the army commander Peng Shan was the first to ask.

Yang Ling replied truthfully: "When we arrived at Zhijiang, we were about to be attacked by devils, so we temporarily stayed and helped the defenders. Unfortunately, the devils were powerful, and we failed to defend Zhijiang. We are ashamed of Zhijiang." fathers and folks."

"Hey, you can't say that. You can take the initiative to participate in the battle, assist the defenders of Zhijiang to resist for a day and two nights, and successfully cover the evacuation of the people. It is already a great achievement."

"The defeated general, how can he talk about his merits? He is really ashamed to say that he lost such a battle just after he came back."

Hearing the remorse and determination in Yang Ling's words, Commander Peng Shan sighed and said, "You have done a good job."

"If the army and the people of the whole country can unite as one, why worry about the Japanese invaders not being wiped out, but unfortunately, many of our troops are fighting on their own, with a lot of selfishness, and sometimes even turn a blind eye to the friendly army's request for help... "

Yang Ling naturally knew that there were many factions in the Chinese army, and now he was a little surprised to hear Commander Peng Shan say it in front of a stranger he met for the first time.

"Oh, let's stop talking, let's talk about the current war." Soon, General Peng Shan sighed and changed the subject.

"I heard that you have been fighting north and south since the Battle of Songhu. Now that the army of devils is overwhelming, I would like to hear what advice you have for defending Yichang?" Peng Shan asked.

"Blunt and humble..."

The people in the staff office were responsible for formulating the battle plan. Yang Ling didn't expect Peng Shan to ask him this question, so he wanted to decline.

"Just talk about it casually. As the saying goes, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Now that the enemy is facing us, we should work together."

Seeing that there was really no way to escape, Yang Ling bit the bullet and said, "If that's the case, then the humble job will be bold..."

"The devils are pressing heavily on the border, relying on our 18th Army to guard the isolated city of Yichang, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. The opinion of the humble officer is to retreat and advance, and actively withdraw from Yichang, let the troops rely on favorable terrain along the river to block the attack... "

Yang Ling naturally knew that facing the three field divisions of the devils, even the elite of the 18th Army, it would be very difficult to defend Yichang, and it would only increase the casualties.

Compared with defending an isolated city and encountering the indiscriminate bombing of devils, if you voluntarily withdraw from Yichang, you will gain the initiative on the battlefield.

Even if the devils captured Yichang, it was nothing more than occupying an isolated city. If they really went up the river and went straight to Chongqing, then they would be courting death.

The mountainous terrain along the river and the narrow and difficult roads are no different from nightmares for the devil's mechanized troops.

Even if the devils attacked Chongqing by boat, as long as the Chinese army set up positions on the mountains near the narrow waterway, the devils would have nothing to do.

Moreover, once the devils attack Chongqing along the river, it will inevitably lengthen the battle line, and the Chinese army that is reinforcements here will just cut off the devils' retreat. One is still a breeze.

"Take the initiative to withdraw from Yichang?"
