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

Soon Huzi came back with a bowl of earthy porridge made from vegetable paste and two pancakes. Yang Ling smelled the wafting fragrance, and his stomach growled in disbelief.

Although he is the deputy head of the regiment, he really hasn't had a decent meal in the past few days. When he was sticking to the golden dragon stem, he even ran out of food. I drank up the big bowl of porridge.

Yang Ling was indeed very hungry. After eating two bowls of gruel and four pancakes, he felt his whole body gain strength again.

"Deputy Tuan, do you want me to scoop you another bowl?" Huzi stayed by the side the whole time, seeing Yang Ling finished eating, he grabbed the bowl and went to fill it up again.

Yang Ling waved his hand, indicating that he was full. Looking at Hu Zi where the pestle was, he remembered to ask: "Hu Zi, have you eaten yet?"

Huzi scratched the back of his head with his hands, and laughed naively: "Vice Tuan, I ate five bowls..."

Hearing Huzi's words, Yang Ling smiled, and joked, "It's a blessing to be able to eat. We'll fight devils when we're full."

"Yes!" Huzi agreed reflexively.

"Is Tuan Zuo awake?" Yang Ling put down his bowl and asked.

Huzi replied, "I just woke up, and I'm eating right now."

"Okay, then go ahead."

Yang Ling stood up and stretched his aching muscles, then walked towards the tent not far away.

Before entering the tent, Zhang Handuo, the leader of the group, shouted: "Get me another bowl, I'm not really hungry."

Yang Ling pursed his lips and smiled, opened the curtain and stepped in. He happened to see the head of the group, Zhang Handuo, grabbing a piece of pancake and devouring it.

"Brother Yang, you're awake," Zhang Handuo greeted Yang Ling and asked the orderly to serve him a meal.

"I've already eaten just now." Yang Ling waved his hands again and again, and sat down along the ammunition box.

After Yang Ling sat down, he asked Luo Heng, who was busy at the side, "How is our army's attack going?"

Tuanfu Luo Heng stopped what he was doing, and replied with a frown: "Although some mountains have been captured, the devils rely on the terrain to hold on tenaciously. The attacking troops suffered heavy casualties. I'm afraid this battle will not be over for a while."

Yang Ling had expected this for a long time. After all, the little devil was an elite man with high tactical skills. Now that he was relying on the mountains to fight, it would not be so easy to gnaw it down.

However, Yang Ling didn't feel any frustration either. Although the little devils were strong, their 74th Army was not weak either.

"By the way, I called the brigade to urge the brigade, hoping to allocate the weapons, ammunition and supplementary troops we applied for as soon as possible." The regiment leader Zhang Handuo also added on the side.

Since they entered the battle, they have fought bloody battles for two days and nights, and the entire regiment has suffered more than a thousand casualties. If the battle damage cannot be replenished in time, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced. Replenishment of soldiers and weapons has become the most urgent thing for their regiment at present.

"Report, regimental seat, our ammunition and recruits have arrived." Luo Heng, the regiment attache, just turned around to make a call to urge him, when a guard lifted the curtain and reported loudly.

The team leader Zhang Handuo and Yang Ling looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, let's go and have a look." Zhang Handuo put down his job and stood up.

A group of recruits wearing brand new military uniforms, led by a staff officer from the brigade headquarters, went to Yangling and their hidden woods, and brought a large amount of ammunition at the same time.

These immature-faced recruits walked in a line, like big girls who just went out, looking around full of curiosity about the new troops.

The veterans covered in blood and gunpowder smoke were either sitting or lying in the forest, busy with themselves, and occasionally glanced at these immature recruits, and soon closed their eyes and fell asleep or lowered their heads to wipe their guns. There was no joy in the forest. The atmosphere was a little dull.

Every time new recruits come in, it means that a large number of veterans have died in the army in the past. Those brothers who got along day and night are gone, replaced by strange new faces. These recruits arrive.

If they could, they'd rather never have new recruits, as long as their old brothers lived, but the reality was harsh.

These recruits who replenished the battle damage looked at the veterans with tattered military uniforms soaked in blood along the way, with mixed feelings in their hearts, and many new recruits turned pale when they smelled the strong bloody smell.

After the head of the regiment, Zhang Handuo, signed the acceptance document, the staff of the brigade left in a hurry, leaving a large group of recruits looking around.

"Let the battalion and company commanders come over to lead people—" Zhang Handuo ordered the messenger, and strode towards the recruits.

Seeing the serious officer with black and gray face approaching, some reacted quickly and raised their hands to salute, and the rest followed suit. The team was in a commotion, Yang Ling shook his head.

Body 4 Chapter Eighty Brutal War

The night flowed tenaciously like water, and the sound of gunfire mixed with tremors and explosions echoed in the surrounding mountains. The fierce battle continued from day to night, but there was still no intention of stopping.

The commander-in-chief of the First Corps issued a death order to the 74th Army to drive the devils back from Minshan. If they dare to retreat without authorization, military law will be followed!

The 74th Army was under the command of General Xue Yue when it was on the Lanfeng battlefield. I believed in the words of this "tiger boy", so I also mustered all my strength to fight the little devil in Minshan.

Masao Maruyama's Sixth Brigade was also an elite field force, so he was naturally unwilling to withdraw from the Minshan area in such a disgrace, so the two sides fought repeatedly around the blood-stained hills.

The competition for the hilltops near Minshan Mountain has become fierce. Often, the death squads of the Chinese army have just desperately captured the top of the mountain before they can gain a firm foothold.

But before the devils had time to repair the fortifications on the top of the mountain, the new death squads of the Chinese army attacked again.

Under the leadership of the officers, the troops of the 74th Army often took the initiative to launch hand-to-hand combat, which made it difficult for the little devils who were always good at stabbing. Around these hills and hills, the two sides fought repeatedly, so that corpses littered the field and blood stained the scorched earth.

The brother troops were fighting for every inch of ground with the little devils at the front, and Yang Ling and the others were not idle. After a good night's sleep, they organized the supplementary recruits into the companies that suffered heavy losses as quickly as possible.

Although the brigade headquarters saw that they had recruited a group of recruits this time when they suffered heavy casualties, it was only a drop in the bucket. All the companies were not full.

In addition to the dissatisfaction of the various companies, the additional recruits have greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the troops. There are more people, but the combat effectiveness has declined.

If it is placed on a normal day, it only needs a period of intensive training. Although the combat level of these recruits cannot catch up with the veterans, it will not be much worse.

But now Yang Ling and the others don't have time to train these recruits at all. They can only assign them to the company and let the veterans lead the recruits. They hope that they can grow up as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness.

Although these veterans are still immersed in the grief of the death of countless old brothers, they also know that these recruits will also be their comrades in arms for a period of time in the future, and they have to fight side by side.

Improving the strength of the recruits also means that they can be less stressed on the battlefield, so they have spared no effort to teach the recruits some of the most practical combat skills.

"Take a shot and change the place, do you understand? If you are slow, the little devil's bullet will come calling, and it will kill you."

"Don't be afraid when stabbing, you must be more ruthless than devils, and you must overwhelm devils in momentum!"

"Don't be afraid if you are thrown down by devils, you will grab his eyes, pinch his eyes, and kick his crotch! Devils are not good people. If you want to live, you have to be more ruthless and fierce than them."

"Don't throw grenades around, they are life-saving things. If you are surrounded, don't surrender. The little devil will make your life worse than death. Just pull the grenade and blow it up!"

"When you are fighting, watch the veterans more. You can learn what the veterans do, and you can save your life."

……

The veterans took advantage of the breaks to talk about their experience of bloody fighting like beans, and the recruits also listened attentively. As for whether they can remember it on the battlefield, it depends on their ability.

Yang Ling's rest time was still short, and the battle at the front was not going well, so their regiment had to end their rest early and go into battle.

The order they received was to take over a battalion from the 174th brigade and capture two unnamed hills on the left wing of Minshan Mountain, clearing the way for the main force to attack the main position of the devils in Minshan Mountain tomorrow.

"Hurry up! Assemble! Throw away all the useless things, don't take them with you!"

The troops hurriedly assembled amidst the officers' shouts, some companies were still on roll call, and the assembled companies had already set off to the battlefield first. In the dark night, it was noisy and chaotic.
