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

Looking at these people running around, Yang Ling's face was heavy, because the order he came to carry out today was even crueler than arresting soldiers.

Yang Ling waved to Wang Huzi, and Wang Huzi rushed out with his brothers.

The fleeing villagers were quickly blocked by Wang Huzi and the others, and they all gathered in the dam in front of the village in panic.

Yang Ling jumped onto the stone pan that weighed several hundred catties, looked down at nearly a hundred panicked men, women and children, and opened his mouth with a slight sigh.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are neither routs nor bandits. We are a unit of the 74th Army. I am Yang Ling, Colonel and Deputy Commander."

Yang Ling first reported his family name. Seeing that Wang Huzi and his army were neat and armed, they didn't take the opportunity to arrest anyone, and they felt a little relieved.

"Mr. Yang, may I ask what your army is doing when you come to our Liujiahezi?" A mature and prudent old man cupped his hands to Yang Ling and asked cautiously.

"We have neither collected food nor captured soldiers this time. It's just that the little devils are coming soon, and this place will soon become a battlefield. I have been ordered to come to inform you and leave here in two hours. Evacuate."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, the villagers felt a little relieved, but then a more serious problem was placed in front of them, that is, they had to leave the village.

"Mr. Yang, see if you can be accommodating..."

No one wanted to leave their hometowns, but according to the chairman's scorched-earth war policy, nothing could be left to the devils except ruins. Yang Ling was only responsible for carrying out orders, and they were helpless.

"Everyone listen to me, it's not that I, Yang Ling, are cold-blooded and ruthless. I have no choice but to evacuate. When the time comes to fight here, no one will care about you. Besides, the little devils are extremely vicious. Once you fall into their hands..."

Yang Ling dry-mouthed and began to persuade the villagers to evacuate, but many people were unwilling to leave the scene and there was chaos. Just as Yang Ling asked Wang Huzi to forcefully drive away, the old man who spoke first stood up and spoke.

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet." The old man's prestige was very high, and the villagers quickly quieted down.

"I know that the big guys don't want to leave. This is our root, but everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We ordinary people are not capable of going to the front line to fight against the Japanese invaders like Chief Yang and others, but we can't drag the country back. Let's leave first after listening to Chief Yang's words, and come back after the battle is over."

"Old Liu, what about the crops in the field? If they are destroyed, what will they eat in the future?"

There are young people in the village who are thinking about the green crops in the field.

"Let's plant the crops again, and the government won't ignore us if we don't have food to eat, but if the country dies, there will be nothing left."

"Don't be dazed, everyone, go home and pack up. Let's leave the village temporarily and hide outside for a while after listening to Chief Yang." The old man began to call everyone to go back and pack up.

Although the villagers were extremely reluctant, but looking at the soldiers with live ammunition around them, they knew that they had to leave today. Many women couldn't help crying, and turned back to the village to pack their things.

"Old man, thanks to you today. On behalf of our group, I would like to express my gratitude to you." Yang Ling expressed his gratitude to the old man who knew the meaning of righteousness.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't say that. You are bloody and sacrificed to fight the devils and kill the enemy. What we have done is not worth mentioning. If I were young, I would follow you to the front to fight the devils. "

Yang Ling's heart was full of emotions. The Chinese people are such a lovely group of people. They silently sacrificed their own interests for the benefit of the country and the nation, but never complained.

With the help of the old man, the villagers brought the old and the young with tears in their eyes. They turned around and left the village where they had lived for generations, full of reluctance.

"Tuan Lieutenant, are you going to burn it?" Wang Huzi rushed over to ask Yang Ling for instructions.

According to the policy of the Scorched Earth War, the people in these areas not only had to evacuate, but all the roads, bridges and villages had to be destroyed and burned.

"The people have sacrificed enough, so the house won't be burned down. After the devils are beaten away, they can come back to live." Yang Ling sighed, unable to bear to turn this place into scorched earth.

Text Chapter 431 Beacon Fire Nanxun Line

The 106th Division of the Japanese Army belonged to the newly formed special division. After the sneak attack on Jiujiang was successful, it did not stop and quickly rushed to the Chinese garrison position at Jinguanqiao at the front of the Nanxun Line.

"Quick battle! Defeat the Chinese army!"

The head of the 106th Division, Matsuura Junrokuro, has the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and wants to lead his division to establish his merits on the Chinese battlefield.

According to past experience, although the Chinese army is superior in numbers most of the time, as long as they launch a fierce attack, the Chinese army will be quickly defeated.

This time Matsuura Junrokuro led the 106th Division along the Nanxun Line to attack De'an, arrogantly wanting to implement central breakthrough tactics to defeat the Chinese army.

As long as they wipe out the Chinese army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, cut off the Guangdong-Han Railway, and encircle Wuhan, the fall of Wuhan will be just around the corner.

But what Matsuura Junrokuro didn't expect was that what he encountered this time was the First Corps commanded by General Xue Yue, all of whom were elite troops from the battlefield.

"Retreat without authorization, and those who lose the battle will be shot on the spot!"

Facing the menacing 106th Division of the Japanese Army, General Xue Yue also went all out and prepared to fight to the end with the full strength of the entire corps.

Guarding the main position of Jinguan Bridge at the front is General Li Jue's 70th Army under the command of General Xue Yue's First Corps. They were originally the foundation of the Hunan Army, but now they have been pushed to the forefront.

The combat effectiveness of the 70th Army was neither comparable to that of the Cantonese Army nor the 74th Army, but in the face of General Xue Yue's strict orders, they could only hold on.

"The designation of the 128th Division's poor performance in Poyang Lake was revoked by the Military Commission! This is a disgrace to our 70th Army! It is a disgrace to me, Li Jue! A disgrace to a soldier!"

General Li Jue stood on the ground filled with gunpowder and shouted loudly: "It is a disgrace that the designation of the 128th Division has been withdrawn. Our 19th Division must show up and avenge the shame of our 70th Army!"

"I don't care how many people the devil rushes over, but you can't take a step back! My gun is right behind you, and Officer Xue's gun is also behind me! You are dead, and I can't live, but as long as you live! Then It's time for us to wash away our shame!"

"Dead fight! Dead fight!"

The officers and soldiers of the 70th Division under the 19th Army uttered an earth-shattering cry amidst General Li Jue's roar, and decided to fight to the end.

However, Junrokuro Matsuura did not pay attention to the 70th Army guarding the main position of Jinguan Bridge at all, and launched a fierce offensive under the indiscriminate bombardment of the aviation unit.

Earth-shattering explosions sounded one after another in the main position of Jinguan Bridge, and a large group of mushroom clouds mixed with sediment and gunpowder smoke rose into the sky.

The sky was soon shrouded in thick black gunpowder smoke, and the main position of Jinguan Bridge was like a swaying ship in rough sea waves, which might capsize at any time.

Although the 106th Division of the Japanese Army was newly formed, the soldiers inherited the fierce and powerful combat style of their troops, stepping on the bombing point and rushing towards the Chinese defenders' positions.

Facing the Japanese army coming like a tide, the cold steel helmets made people shudder, and the troops guarding the position did not flinch in the slightest.

"Slaughter devils!" The soldiers who survived the bombing shouted with big knives in hand, and started a bloody battle with the devils who broke into the position.

The offensive of the Japanese 106th Division was fierce, but the Chinese army guarding the main position of Jinguan Bridge did not show any weakness. One position was completely wiped out, and the next position continued to fight.

The Japanese army continued to push forward stepping on minced meat and blood, but the further they moved forward, the slower they pushed.

Because the positions of the Chinese army were all built on hills and hills, they captured one hill and had to attack another hill.

Fighting in this hilly area, the roads have long been bombed by the Chinese army, and their artillery units can't keep up, so they can only rely on infantry to move forward, and the attack is weak.

"The Chinese army resisted tenaciously, and it was difficult for our brigade to advance."

"Everyone in the third squadron was broken, and the Jiwoling position was taken back by the night attack of the Chinese army!"

......

The 106th Division advanced less than ten kilometers, and it was difficult for the frontline troops to enter. This made Lieutenant General Junrokuro Matsuura, who was determined to make meritorious deeds, very crazy.

"Call the air force for an air strike! Raze the mountain to the ground!" Matsuura Junrokuro, who had a ferocious face, looked a little annoyed.

Soon more than 30 bombing clusters of the Japanese army carried out a carpet-like indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese defenders' hills, and all the vegetation, trees, soil and rocks on the entire hills were blasted into scorched earth.
