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

In order to be on the safe side, Shao Zuo Toshitaro had secretly dispatched two infantry squadrons to go around from the two wings two days ago. An invisible net had already engulfed Yang Ling and the others, and now Yang Ling and the others were far away from the interception line of the infantry brigade ahead. Getting closer, this invisible net is shrinking inward, trying to compress Yang Ling's living space.

……

In the bleak and humid wilderness, Yang Ling's gathered rout soldiers were marching in a long team. After being gathered along the way, the team became stronger and stronger. At this moment, there were nearly a thousand people in the team.

They are already very close to Jiangyin. As soon as they arrive in Jiangyin, they can get rid of the devils' pursuit, and get supplies and rest, and the wounded can also be treated. Although everyone is very tired, the desire to survive is very strong. Gritting his teeth and persisting.

"Battalion Commander, there are a large number of devils ten miles ahead." Jiao Ming, who was in charge of the forward investigation, galloped back to the marching team and reported the enemy's situation ahead to Yang Ling.

The No.16 division of the Devils quickly attacked Changshu after landing on the first line of Baimaokou. Their division commander was very cunning.

As a result, many defenders who had withdrawn from Shanghai wanted to organize a line of defense to resist, but the existing devils had already captured the towns behind, so their positions were in chaos, and they could only continue to retreat in order to avoid being encircled.

After Yang Ling heard Jiao Ming's report, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he remained calm. After all, he encountered countless devil infiltration troops along the way, as few as dozens of people, as many as hundreds of people. Bypassing the large groups, he has already determined the principles of combat.

"How many devils are there?" Yang Ling raised his head and asked.

Jiao Ming replied: "There are at least a thousand people, and I have found the positions of devil soldiers for several miles in the horizontal direction."

Yang Ling frowned. He didn't expect that there were so many devil soldiers in front of him. It was not so easy to pass through the defense line of several miles horizontally. Besides, they had more than 1000 people now, and the target was too big.

It's not feasible to sneak through the devil's line of defense, but it's not enough to break through. There are thousands of devils, which is an infantry brigade. Just those light and heavy machine guns are enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention the other kinds of mortars they are equipped with. And grenades, maybe there are Type [-] infantry artillery, they can only be used as living targets for rushing in this way.

"Order the team to turn to the northwest, let's go around." Yang Ling gave the order decisively, since he couldn't get through, let's go around.

Following Yang Ling's order, the team of more than 1000 people turned to the northwest direction, preparing to bypass the devil troops in front, but after walking northwest, the scout cavalry came back and reported that the devil troops had also appeared ahead. .

Because Yang Ling lacked useful information, he didn't know that Shotaro Toshizuo had already set up a large net in a relatively wide area to envelop their rout troops, and now he was starting to compress and close the net.

At this moment, there were chasing soldiers behind, obstacles in front, and devil soldiers appeared on the flanks. This made Yang Ling feel that something was wrong. He immediately called Jiao Ming to order: "Take people to search east immediately, and the devils will come back immediately."

After Jiao Ming responded, he immediately called the two brothers to get on their horses and headed towards the only east side where there was no movement.

"Why don't you leave?" Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, expressed his concern about the sudden stop of the team. After all, now that the devil is biting his back, staying for one minute longer means an extra risk.

"I'm afraid we're in trouble. The devils have blocked us." Although Jiao Ming hadn't returned yet, Yang Ling already had a bad premonition.

The ghosts who were biting their butts in the past few days slowed down their pursuit. At first, Yang Ling thought they were exhausted from chasing for so long, but now it seemed that it was their conspiracy. This was their deliberate slowing down of their pursuit.

Liu Ming asked solemnly, "What are you going to do?"

Yang Ling took a deep breath and replied, "We'll have to wait for the news from the east to make a decision."

Soon, Jiao Ming, who was exploring to the east, returned in a hurry and brought bad news, that is, there were also devil soldiers coming from the east, and it looked like they were part of the devil soldiers chasing them.

After collecting information from all parties, the situation became very clear. The chasing ghost soldiers deliberately slowed down to paralyze Yang Ling and the others, but they secretly prepared a big net to catch them all. Now is the time to close the net.

The situation has deteriorated rapidly, they are completely trapped now, no matter which way they go, they will encounter devils, but once they are entangled by devils and cannot escape, that is the moment of their destruction.

Several company commanders panicked when they heard that they were surrounded now. Some suggested breaking out to the north, while others clamored to break out to the west. Li Tiezhu even suggested that they should be broken up into parts, so that they could escape one by one.

"Why panic, the sky hasn't fallen yet." Seeing the several company commanders arguing endlessly, Yang Ling stopped their quarrel with a cold drink.

Main text Chapter 178 Back to the carbine!

There was no emotion on Yang Ling's bronzed face. It was as cold and calm as ever, as if the devil troops that were about to encircle him did not exist. The calmness of Mount Tai made several company commanders feel ashamed. ?

Facing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Yang Ling's composure made the company commanders calm down a little, and they were no longer flustered as before, but they still looked solemn and worried.

Yang Dashu believed and supported Yang Ling as always, looked at Yang Ling and said, "Battle Commander, what do you say, we will listen to you."

Liu Yidao also said viciously: "Battle Commander, you can just give the order. No matter where you break through, I, Liu Yidao, are willing to lead people to fight a bloody path for the brothers!"

Now that the devils were surrounded on all sides, their 1000-strong rout had become a soft-shelled turtle. It seemed that there was no other way but to break through, but Yang Ling didn't think so.

Yang Ling looked around and said, "The devils biting our buttocks have slowed down their pursuit these days, probably just to paralyze us and make us think that our exhaustion tactics are working, but they secretly arranged We sneaked in this encirclement carelessly, this devil commander is a difficult guy, if we rashly choose a direction to break through, I'm afraid we will suffer even more."

"But if we don't break through, when the devils overwhelm us, our entire army will be wiped out. I suggest that we choose a direction to break through immediately before the devils encircle us. Our 1000-odd brothers can fight our way through no matter what! "

Li Tiezhu was fearless, but Yang Ling frowned. If he really wanted to fight to the death like Li Tiezhu said, he might be playing into the devil's hands. The devil wanted them to do this, even if they succeeded in breaking through , and there are not many people left, just to achieve the purpose of eliminating them.

"The devil came prepared this time, we can't be rash." Yang Ling declined Li Tiezhu's suggestion.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just stay here and wait to die, can we?" Li Tiezhu folded his arms and looked at Yang Ling angrily, to see what good ideas he could come up with.

"I don't mean to break through, but to take the initiative to attack and seize the initiative. We just need to turn around and kill the devil soldiers following us, then the devil's carefully arranged encirclement circle will have no effect on us."

Before Yang Ling finished speaking, Li Tiezhu, the company commander, jumped out: "I said Commander Yang Day, don't be joking. With our strength, if we look back, it's not self-inflicted. It's almost as if the devil wiped us out."

"What are you talking about, wait for the battalion commander to finish." Yang Dashu pushed Li Tiezhu away in dissatisfaction, looked at Yang Ling and said, "Battlemaster, go ahead and ignore him."

Yang Ling paused and analyzed: "Since the devil soldiers can set up this encirclement circle, they will definitely prevent us from breaking through. We have been retreating towards Nanjing, and the devils will not fail to guard against it. With heavy troops, once we break through in these three directions, we will definitely be smashed."

Hearing Yang Ling's analysis, the company commanders gasped. If it was true as Yang Ling said, then once they broke through in these directions, they would definitely be in danger.

"If we turn around and go back, we will surely surprise the devils and catch them by surprise."

"But there are quite a few devils following us, and our more than 1000 rout troops are probably no match for us." Company Commander Qin Shou expressed concern.

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Just now Jiao Ming discovered that the devils in the east are part of the one following us..."

Company Commander Wu Jiang suddenly realized: "Battle Commander, do you mean that the devils behind us have divided their troops?"

"In the past few days, the devils have been lingering behind our buttocks without making a move. Given the character of devils who like to surround us with two wings, the devils on our left and right wings may all come from the rear. I reckon they will stay behind us now. There won't be many ghost soldiers."

Hearing Yang Ling's analysis, most of the concerns in everyone's hearts dissipated, Yang Dashu chuckled: "If that's the case, then let's turn around and kill them. It's really not difficult."

Now their rout regiment has gathered more than a thousand rout soldiers, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition. If they really decide to fight the devil, it will be enough for the devil to drink a pot.

"Okay, pass my order, the rear team becomes the front team, let's turn around and go back to fucking!" Yang Ling ordered decisively.

"Yes!" The company commanders all smiled happily. After Yang Ling's analysis, the panic faded away.

Yang Ling watched the team turn around and return along the original road in a hurry. Looking at the gray sky, he took a deep breath, tugged at the rifle on his shoulder, and followed the team with strides.

Although Yang Ling's analysis is sound, he is not completely sure, but now he is in a dangerous situation, even if he is only [-]% sure, he has to give it a try. If the devil behind him is not as weak as he expected, then he will think of other ways Breakout.

Guizi Shaozuo Toshitaro carefully crafted an encirclement circle, with the purpose of killing Yang Ling and the others, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling did not lead people to break out of the encirclement in the direction he judged as he wished, but killed a He returned his carbine and went straight to the village where he was camping.

Shao Zuo Shotaro was very cunning. He deliberately slowed down the pursuit. He secretly dispatched a machine gun squadron to cooperate with two infantry squadrons to outflank Yang Ling and the others from both wings. There were not many troops left by his side, only an infantry squadron and an artillery squadron.

The ghost soldiers were exhausted from chasing Yang Ling and the others, and Yang Ling would lead people to turn around and shoot them coldly at night from time to time, which made them itch, but there was nothing they could do, because the dark night was Yang Ling's best cover.

Now Toshotaro can finally sleep peacefully. After so many days of tactical deception, the Chinese rout has entered their encirclement, and he is very excited to close the net soon.

He couldn't wait to see who the godly China commander was, and how he could survive under him for so long.

Taro Tojo fell into a deep sleep after being excited, but what he didn't know was that Yang Ling had already led more than 1000 routs and killed them back.
