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

"Those who know how to bandage come and rescue the wounded! The rest hurry up and clean up the battlefield!" Qin Shou walked over the bloody corpses, already accustomed to such scenes, without the slightest discomfort, and shouted orders to the student soldiers.

The student soldiers stood still, and by the light of the burning flames, they saw the bloody corpses, and also saw the devil's head chopped off, still staring with ferocious eyes.

The student soldiers who couldn't bear the smell of blood vomited so much that the yellow water in their stomachs came out, and those who were a little bit bolder stood on the ground and turned pale. This was the first time they saw dead people all over the place.

Qin Shou turned his head and saw that the student soldiers were standing there without moving, and angrily scolded, "What are you still doing! Come here and help!"

Qin Shou's roar woke up the student soldiers. Wang Zikun rushed to Qin Shou on the sticky blood and knelt down to help bandage the wounds of the wounded. Let the wounded cry out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Wang Zikun, like a child who has done something wrong, hastily apologized to the wounded who was hurt by him.

The wounded man didn't blame him. Although he grinned in pain, he was full of optimism: "It's okay, let's bandage it, man can hold on."

The wounded man's words let Wang Zikun lose his scruples and opened up his hands and feet. The original tension gradually disappeared, and the movements of his hands became more and more agile. Although his hands were covered with blood, for the first time he felt that he was no longer useless. People also did their part for the war.

"Where is the injury?"

"I was shot in the waist and eye, it's okay."

"Your luck is good, you are relieved now. You don't have to worry about being bombed again. You have to go to the rear hospital to take care of yourself. When your wound is healed, you can go back to our guerrilla camp. Let's fight devils together."

The company commander, Qin Shou, followed Yang Ling's ears and eyes, and he also had the appearance of an officer. He patrolled back and forth, said caring words to the wounded, and patted them on the shoulder from time to time to express encouragement, which eased the original sad atmosphere a lot.

The student soldiers were originally full of sympathy for the injuries of these wounded, but now seeing their happy faces, they couldn't help but turn into envy. If they were injured, they could retreat to the rear to recuperate, and it was a good thing to provide them with delicious food and drink. , at least much better than staying in fear on the battlefield.

Qin Shou sent some student soldiers to send the wounded on stretchers. After the battlefield was cleaned up, the weapons and equipment of the remaining students were replenished in large quantities, and their canvas bags were bulging. Get rid of the sacrificed comrades, and then continue to move towards Wangjiazhuang.

The three combat companies led by Yang Ling arrived at Wangjiazhuang early, and found no trace of the rest of the devils here. Therefore, it was judged that what happened was just a small group of devils who infiltrated by mistake. Their hanging hearts were finally relieved. down.

The order Yang Ling received was that their guerrilla battalion be stationed at Wangjiazhuang to protect the flanks of Gaoqiaomen. vitality.

"One knife, take a few people with me to scout the terrain."

Yang Ling left the team to rest in Zhuangzi. He didn't stay idle, and immediately asked Liu Yidao to take someone with him to investigate the situation near Zhuangzi.

This is because he has developed a habit of fighting in unfamiliar areas. If he is not familiar with the surrounding conditions, he will be vague and intimidated when fighting. Therefore, he will be the first to figure out the surrounding conditions whenever he goes to a place. .

Yang Ling left Zhuangzi with more than a dozen brothers armed with live ammunition, and went clockwise from the north to check the surroundings of Wangjiazhuang.

Wangjiazhuang is surrounded by large paddy fields and cotton fields. The terrain is relatively open. Farther away is a river of unknown depth. On the other side of the river is a swamp of reeds. Small hills.

After Yang Ling wandered around and returned to Zhuangzi, he immediately ordered the troops to set up a position on a hill a few hundred meters west of Zhuangzi.

"Battalion Commander, it's so convenient for us to rely on Zhuangzi to build a position and save time and effort. Why do we have to go to the wild to dig trenches? Isn't that a fool's errand?"

Yang Ling's order was unexpectedly opposed by the newly promoted company commander Blacksmith, and everyone was also puzzled. If they left a good Zhuangzi bunker for use, if they went to the wild to set up a position, it would be no different from eating enough to support them.

Pointing to those adobe houses, Liu Yidao suggested, "Battle Commander, you see, let's dig some holes in these houses in Zhuangzi. They are as solid as gold, and we won't be afraid even if devils come."

Yang Ling was not angry at the company commanders' objections. Their objection meant that they were thinking seriously, rather than blindly executing orders, because sometimes rigidly executing orders would kill many people.

"Tell me, what will the devil do first when fighting?" Yang Ling asked everyone.

"Shoot it..." Liu Yidao blurted out without thinking.

Yang Ling smiled: "That's it, the devil can see the Zhuangzi clearly from a long distance, if a cannonball hits him, maybe we will be reimbursed before we see the devil."

Hearing Yang Ling's explanation, everyone felt chills down their spines. They were only thinking about the convenience of the picture. How could they have thought of this level? If the devils bombarded them, this Zhuangzi really couldn't bear it.

"Okay, let's set up a position outside Zhuangzi immediately!"

"Yes!"

In December, the suburbs of Nanjing were already very cold, and everyone rushed out of Zhuangzi. The cold wind made them shiver as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

Yang Ling didn't ask his brothers to dig a single-line trench, because once the devil broke into the single-line trench of the National Revolutionary Army, it would collapse in all likelihood, not to mention his mere guerrilla battalion.

In order to be able to make the position more stable when encountering devils, Yang Ling chose to use the method of building positions step by step, so that the entire position has enough depth. Even if the devil breaks through the first line of positions, he will immediately suffer a severe blow from the second line of fire.

Following Yang Ling's order, hundreds of brothers in the guerrilla battalion began to establish positions in full swing. Yang Ling's outer positions in Nanjing would not last long, so the brothers were not asked to waste time and effort digging deep trenches, but mainly asked them to dig Foxholes for individual combat and bunkers to hide from artillery.

Text Chapter 274 Bravery

Most of the brothers in the guerrilla battalion were veterans who had fought bloody battles. Naturally, they knew that the strength of the trench was related to their lives. Therefore, without the supervision of the platoon leaders, they dug extra hard with their shovels.

"If you don't want to die, it depends on what the veterans do, learn more."

Yang Ling became extremely strict. Seeing the student soldiers digging shallow foxholes and laying down to rest, he immediately kicked them up with a straight face and asked them to dig again, and asked them not to dig until he passed the inspection. Allow them to rest.

Some student soldiers slumped on the ground in dissatisfaction after Yang Ling walked away, complaining: "It really hurts my back to talk, let him dig it, my waist is almost broken."

The student soldiers went to the battlefield for the first time, where did they suffer such hardships, and each of them suffered unspeakably, but the student Wang Zikun understood that Yang Ling seemed to be abnormally harsh on them, but it was for their own good.

"Stop talking nonsense, Mr. Yang is doing it for our own good, so get up and dig quickly. If you don't dig well, no one will be able to sleep tonight." Wang Zikun said, already picked up the shovel and started digging vigorously again.

The positions of the guerrilla battalions gradually took shape under the efforts of the brothers. The new soil dug up by each company position was covered with weeds again. They got into the foxholes, but they couldn't see them from a distance.

Taking advantage of the gap between digging the trenches, Yang Ling held a wartime meeting of company and platoon leaders. Regarding the encounter just now, he gave verbal praise to the brothers who performed well, and made a summary of experience regarding the problems that arose during the encounter. , I hope not to do it again in the future.

Yang Ling hoped that through such a post-war summary meeting, these company and platoon leaders could learn something and make progress after each battle, so that they could fight more victories.

"I admit that the brothers are very brave in fighting, but I want to emphasize the importance of discipline again. You can't win a battle without organization and discipline. You can tell my brothers what I said when you go back. , I, Yang Ling, will never let you down! Do you hear me clearly?!"

"Yes!" Even the platoon leaders answered in unison.

Many brothers are used to fighting in battles, and those who are full of blood will launch a charge. In the battle just now, the devils have not been defeated by them, and Yang Ling has not ordered the charge, they have already charged out, causing many people to be shot and sacrificed. Unnecessary casualties were caused, which made Yang Ling very angry.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yang Ling's tone softened again: "Don't blame me for being strict. Brothers put their heads on the waistbands of their trousers and follow us to fight. That means trusting us. We officers also have to stand up for our brothers. You are responsible for your life, you can’t let them sacrifice in vain, just charge without authorization just now, how many brothers did you say sacrificed in vain?”

After Yang Ling's words fell, even the platoon leaders lowered their heads in shame. At that time, the fighting was on the rise. Where did these things come from? Looking back now, I really shouldn't have rushed so rashly, causing many brothers to sacrifice in vain.

The sturdy blacksmith admitted his mistake to Yang Ling: "Battlemaster, this time I was not strict with my discipline, but I promise that I won't do it again next time. If I do it again, I will wring my head off and give it to you, Battalion Commander." chamber pot."

Yang Ling scolded with a smile: "Go, go, who wants your head to be a chamber pot, I'm so terrified."

The surrounding company platoon leaders let out laughter, and the atmosphere eased down.

"Okay, let's get down to business. We are responsible for guarding Wangjiazhuang and ensuring the safety of the Gaoqiaomen flank. Since our guerrilla battalion has accepted this task, we have to cheer up, play the spirit of our guerrilla battalion, and fight our guerrilla camp." The majesty of the battalion, we must not be underestimated by the brothers in the friendly army!"

"Battalion Commander, don't worry, the brothers in our company have long been screaming and wanting to kill the little devil. As long as the devil dares to come, I guarantee that he will never come back, and he will never fall into the prestige of our guerrilla camp!" Wang Huzi was full of pride. .

Not to be outdone, Liu Yidao stood up: "Wang Huzi, is there anyone who will kill more devils in a row when we compare?"

"Bi, Bi, am I still afraid that you won't succeed?"

When the blacksmith saw that the two were meeting each other, he raised his head arrogantly: "I said you two should stay where you are cool. When it comes to fighting devils, we will be the second even. Who the hell dares to say that we are the first?" ?”

"You're not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue..."
