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

Under Yang Ling's order, the brothers seized things piled up like a mountain. There were more than 30 light machine guns and ten heavy machine guns alone.

"Tuan Zuo, Tuan Zuo, Cannon!"

Zhang Heizi even led people to find two [-]-type infantry guns in the ravine, his face flushed with excitement.

Looking at the blood-stained Type [-] infantry artillery, Yang Ling also beamed with joy. What their troops lacked was such powerful weapons.

"Pull them all back, we'll need them in the future." Although there were no shells, Yang Ling had no intention of throwing them away. He would have shells in one or two battles in the future.

The brothers gathered all the sacrificed brothers together, wiped their faces clean, found mats and rags to wrap them, and then buried them in the ground for safety.

Piles of small graves piled up with new soil stood upright, and the brothers stood in front of these new graves, choked with sobs in their hearts, and countless familiar brothers went to every bloody battle, and they didn't know when it would end.

"Brothers! Go all the way!" Yang Ling raised his hand to salute the buried brothers.

The blood-stained brothers behind them also raised their hands in salute, and tears rolled from the eyes of many people. There are many brothers who have blocked bullets for them buried here.

On the battlefield, they are brothers who can entrust their backs to each other, and it is these brothers who form the Great Wall of Steel against the little devils. Countless brothers have fallen, and more brothers will stand up and continue to fight.

After burying the brothers, news came from the division that several divisions of the Devils had rushed over and told the brothers to leave Wanjialing and retreat to De'an.

"We won the battle, so we have to retreat..." The brothers didn't understand.

In the past, they always lost battles and kept retreating, but now that they have won battles, they have to continue to retreat. The brethren's psychology is hard to accept for a while, and the joy of victory is gone.

Yang Ling knew that although the local battlefield had won, the Chinese army was no match for the devils in the entire Wuhan battle.

The various troops fought against the devils who attacked Wuhan for several months, allowing millions of people in Wuhan and countless factories and schools to be transferred and evacuated. This is already a huge victory.

In the past, they retreated in a panic, but this time they retreated actively, and the fierce battle for several months has consumed a lot of the devil's vitality. Wuhan is already an empty city, and there is no need to pay a huge price to guard this empty city. .

The Chinese army has been fighting the little devils for a year. At the beginning, they fought for every inch of land, relying on crude equipment to fight head-to-head with the little devils.

In several major battles, not only many elite troops were lost, but the mountains and rivers are still in decline.

However, the Chinese side has summed up its experience from such painful lessons, and it no longer cares about the gains and losses of one city and one place. Instead, it is preparing to rely on a vast area to delay the devils, consume the devils, and fight for a long time.

This time the devils wanted to quickly attack Wuhan and force China to surrender, but they were delayed and consumed by the Chinese army for several months in the surrounding mountains, lakes and swamps, and suffered heavy losses.

It can be said that China's long-term combat strategy has achieved initial results. The more the little devils attack the hinterland of China, the more empty their rear will be. The longer the battle line, the less obvious the devil's advantage will be.

The Chinese troops on the southern front had all been ordered to retreat, and Yang Ling and the others were no exception.

The brothers couldn't figure it out, so Yang Ling asked the company platoon leaders to do their work. Now there is no supplies, no ammunition, so they can only retreat. When the ammunition supplies are replenished later, they still have to fight back.

Regardless of whether the brothers were willing or not, the troops were still retreating, and the mountains of loot captured on the battlefield, as well as the martial arts prosperity flags of those devils, were all taken out of the mountain by the brothers without falling.

Although the various troops won the battle, they were all horrible. Everyone was covered in gunpowder and black with scars.

On the road to De'an, countless tattered blue sky and white sun flags fluttered in the wind, soldiers full of murderous aura walked on the sidewalk, drove on the driveway, and everyone who was still alive was covered with seized bits and pieces, unlike the past In embarrassment, on the contrary, they are iron-blooded divisions tempered from the flames of war.

When the reporters saw such a silent but murderous troop marching, their eyes filled with excitement, and they rushed to take pictures, wanting the people of the country to see that it was these heroic officers and soldiers who wiped out a division of the little devils. Take a picture of their majestic figure.

However, the brothers did not accept this honor. They knew that the real heroes were the officers and soldiers who died. They have been buried in Wanjialing for a long time, guarding this blood-stained land forever.

Main text Chapter 686 Return with a rewarding experience

On October 25th, under the cover of the bloody battles of frontline officers and soldiers, after months of successive transfers and evacuations, the Chinese side voluntarily announced that it would abandon Wuhan.

The Military Commission and the government withdrew to the companion capital of Chongqing, and the people had already evacuated to the southwestern provinces. Since then, Wuhan, a bright pearl on the Jianghan Plain, has fallen into the hands of devils.

However, in the defense of Wuhan that began in June, more than 100 divisions of the Chinese army inflicted great damage on the little devils in the peripheral mountain and lake areas, and even wiped out a division of the devils on the southern battlefield.

The original plan of the devil's base camp was to quickly capture Wuhan and make an emergency landing in China by force, but it was unexpectedly turned into a war of attrition.

Months of brutal fighting not only caused the devils to lose a large number of soldiers, but also consumed countless supplies and ammunition.

After the capture of Wuhan, the devils were powerless to attack again after a series of vicious battles, and the Chinese army also voluntarily withdrew. Since then, the Chinese battlefield has entered a stage of strategic stalemate.

With Wuhan's announcement of abandonment, troops on the southern front are also gradually withdrawing from the De'an area, because Okamura Ningji, who was extremely angry, rushed over aggressively.

With the fall of Wuhan, Changsha in the south was immediately threatened by the devil's soldiers, and General Xue Yue's First Corps was ordered to withdraw to the Changsha area.

The 74th Army suffered more than 1 casualties in the Wanjialing battle. The 58th Division was almost wiped out. The 51st Division had five regiment leaders including the acting regiment commander. The company platoon officers suffered nearly 200 casualties. It was a brutal fight.

Although the fight was fierce, for the 74th Army, it was finally a time of elation. The fame of World War I made the 74th Army the focus of attention.

Dozens of condolence and congratulatory telegrams were received from all parties. General Xue Yue even personally awarded the 74th Army a pennant as a reward, and first allocated 5000 yuan to condolences to the wounded soldiers.

Because Yang Ling and the others had many wounded soldiers and they were a heroic force on the Wanjialing battlefield, they no longer needed to walk on foot during their retreat to Changsha.

Yang Ling's 74th Army was ordered to evacuate to Changsha by train and car, and Yang Ling's regiment rushed to Changsha by car.

Because several divisions commanded by Neiji Okamura rushed over aggressively, Yang Ling and the others did not dare to stay for long after they withdrew from the Wanjialing battlefield, and began to evacuate as the troop transport vehicles arrived.

A row of cars with muddy wheels stopped outside Yang Ling's temporary camp, and Yang Ling followed closely with the officers in the summoning group to organize the troops to evacuate.

"Liu Yidao, you lead a company of brothers to the front and are responsible for the front of the whole regiment."

Withdrawing from De'an, Jiangxi to Changsha, Hunan, the distance is not close. Although there are military depots along the way, Yang Ling is worried. After all, there are too many troops evacuating this time, and the military depots may not be able to take care of them.

So let Liu Yidao go to the front to be responsible for finding the daily campsite, and going to the military depot to collect food, salt, oil and other materials for the troops.

"Yes!"

Although Liu Yidao was also scratched several times by shrapnel, he was lucky and became even more fierce after he survived.

With the transfer of several battalion commanders, injured and unable to perform their duties normally, Liu Yidao has now become Yang Ling's right-hand man.

"Start at six o'clock every morning and camp at five o'clock in the evening. You go ahead and make sure you settle down and get some medicine. We have a lot of wounded..."

The wounded in the regiment were slightly injured or seriously injured, and the road was bumpy. He was worried that the wounded's injuries would deteriorate, so he explained to Liu Yidao who was standing in front.

"Go first, we and the wounded will follow."

Yang Ling waved Liu Yidao to take a few literate and hyphenated staff officers with the condolence money from the division, and go first.

When Liu Yidao and the others went out, Yang Ling assigned the tasks to the remaining officers. It was clear how many people each person was in charge of and how many cars they were in charge of, but they got separated in confusion on the road.

"The way to retreat is definitely not peaceful. One is to prevent the planes of the devils from coming to bomb, and the other is to prevent people from taking advantage of the fire along the way. You must pay attention to these..."

In the precarious age, there were so many rebellious soldiers and bandits, and now Yang Ling and the others had just experienced a big battle, and they were at their weakest, so they had to be on guard.

The brothers in the regiment followed Yang Ling all the way from the battlefield, and they didn't dare to follow Yang Ling's orders, so they all nodded in agreement.

"I would like to declare one last point. I must strictly abide by military discipline, and I am not allowed to cause trouble along the way. Once anyone violates military discipline, I will punish them severely no matter who they are!"

"Yes!" Seeing Yang Ling's stern tone, everyone's hearts shivered, thinking that they must restrain their brothers when they go back.
