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

The brothers were exhausted after running all night. After eating the meal prepared by the connector, they fell asleep. They survived the first day after entering the enemy's war zone without any danger.

At night, Yang Ling and the others packed up and continued to march along the planned route. They first arrived at the guerrilla area behind enemy lines of the 21st Army of the Guangxi Army in the Dabie Mountains.

At this moment, in the entire territory of Anhui Province, except for some plain areas along the roads and railways, the vast mountainous areas are controlled by these Guangxi army officers and soldiers.

Although it was behind the enemy lines, there was a whole group of troops fighting guerrillas here, and the devils had no choice but to pass through the territory of the Guangxi army officers and soldiers. This section of the road was the safest.

However, since Anhui entered Jiangsu Province, the atmosphere has suddenly become tense. Many villages have been turned into ruins. Road cards were erected on various roads to check the pedestrians passing by.

Yang Ling and his group of more than 200 brothers were unfamiliar with their places of life, so naturally they didn't dare to go to Luka. control area

At this moment, a full two months had passed since the departure, and Yang Ling and the others were also in a panic.

Body 7 Chapter [-] Guerrilla Detachment

Commander Yu Xuezhong in the enemy's rear theater can be said to have a strong army, not only the 51st Army, 57th Army and other Northeast Army-based regular troops, but also ten guerrilla columns and 34 security brigades.

Such a huge force is distributed in the vast area of ​​​​Shandong and Jiangsu to fight, and it has dealt a heavy blow to the devils.

And the operations in the enemy's rear theater seriously threatened the Jinpu Line, the Jiaoji Line, the Longhai Railway and the Taiwei Highway.

After the Battle of Wuhan, the devils had to mobilize three elite divisions to launch a massive attack on the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines led by General Xuezhong.

These officers and soldiers stranded in the enemy's rear were naturally fearless in the face of the devil's heavy encirclement and suppression. The two sides fought for several months, and the smoke filled the air, turning the Sulu area into ruins.

When Yang Ling and the others arrived here after traveling thousands of miles, what they saw was almost empty, desolate, and ruined walls everywhere.

The abandoned corpses by the roadside had soaked in the ditch and swelled, exuding a stench. Groups of wild dogs wandered in the field, grinning fiercely.

Seeing the great rivers and mountains of the motherland being beaten into such a state, the brothers felt a burst of anger in their hearts, and wanted to beat the devils to vent.

After the report from the theater command behind the enemy, Yang Ling and the others did not stop, and went straight to the station of the third detachment under the ninth guerrilla column where they were.

The third guerrilla detachment was based in a place called Qinghe Town in northern Jiangsu. According to the theater headquarters, the entire detachment had a total strength of nearly a thousand troops.

Although the strength of the army was not as strong as that of the 74th Army, Yang Ling was not discouraged. He was sent to the war zone behind enemy lines to hone his skills by fighting devils.

He believed that with his own ability, the third detachment would be able to develop and grow in a short time, becoming a powerful force to deter devils in the enemy's rear.

What Yang Ling didn't know was that when he, Wang Huzi and the others were on their way to Qinghe Town, the third guerrilla detachment in Qinghe Town had already engaged the Japanese and puppet troops.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the third guerrilla detachment were troops who had not had time to withdraw after the Xuzhou battle. After the establishment of the enemy's rear theater, these stragglers who stayed in the occupied area were unified and reorganized into the guerrilla column, under the command of the commander-in-chief, General Yu Xuezhong.

The former detachment leader of the third detachment died in the devil's heavy encirclement and suppression of the enemy's rear theater in March, and now the acting detachment leader is Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Liechen, the deputy detachment leader.

Zhang Liechen has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a strong figure. He once fought a bloody battle with little devils on the Xuzhou battlefield, and he can be regarded as a titan who has fought tough battles. He exudes a sturdy aura.

Since taking over as the acting captain of the third guerrilla detachment, the entire Qinghe town has been run like a copper wall and an iron wall. The barbed wire, trenches, and bunkers make Qinghe town look as solid as gold.

The devils and the puppet army attacked Qinghe Town several times, but they were all repelled by the acting detachment leader Zhang Liechen. Several victories also allowed him to establish absolute authority in the detachment.

Zhang Liechen originally thought that it would be a matter of course for him to take over as the captain of the detachment, but recently he got news that the theater command will send someone over.

This news made Zhang Liechen very uncomfortable. He successfully let the third guerrilla detachment defend Qinghe Town, and repelled several attacks by the Japanese and puppet troops.

But not only did the higher ups not even have a word of praise, they even parachuted down a detachment leader, which made him very upset.

Fortunately, he has now established absolute authority in the detachment. Even if someone from above is sent down to command the troops below, he wants to see how the detachment leader can continue to be.

"Detachment leader, detachment leader!"

Just as Zhang Liechen, acting detachment leader of the third guerrilla detachment, was drinking in the detachment headquarters in Qinghe Town, a man in an old gray military uniform stumbled in.

"What kind of shit detachment leader, I'm just an agent."

Zhang Liechen was not happy at first, but now when he heard the people shouting like this, he was even more angry, and he put his wine glass on the table heavily.

Zhang Liechen got angry for no reason, but the brother who ran into the room was taken aback for a moment, and even forgot what he was doing here.

"Tell me, what's the matter, you're in a panic." Zhang Liechen took a deep breath and asked when he saw the brother who was frightened and stunned.

After such a reminder from Zhang Liechen, the brother came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The dog traitor Zhang Laizi brought people here again, and there are more than 100 devils!"

"Boom!" Zhang Liechen was already in a bad mood, and when he heard this, he was even more angry and punched the table heavily, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to fall to the ground with a clatter.

"Damn it, come here every two days, and there is no end!" Zhang Liechen, the acting detachment leader, ordered angrily: "Let the brothers gather, this time we have to skin that dog traitor!"

"Yes!" The brother saluted, then turned and ran out of the house.

"Assemble! Assemble! The devil is coming!"

Amidst the yelling, nearly a thousand officers and soldiers in all kinds of military uniforms, all slovenly, grabbed their guns and ran out of the dormitory to get together, and then hurried to the fortifications outside the town.

The anti-Japanese conditions in the enemy's rear are difficult, and their third guerrilla detachment is composed of gathered battlefield stragglers, so it looks like a group of rabble, but they have a high fighting spirit, and they can fight to the death against the devils.

"Let the people in the town go back to their homes. Bullets don't have eyes, so don't get hurt."

Zhang Liechen also walked out of the detachment headquarters with a large stride, carrying the only flower machine gun in his third guerrilla detachment.

The third guerrilla detachment stationed in Qinghe Town is strong, and they go out to attack the devil's stronghold from time to time, ambush their transport team, and are regarded as a thorn in the flesh by the devil.

Although troops were mobilized several times to encircle and suppress, but the fortifications in Qinghe Town were too strong, and they all failed.

After all, there are quite a few regular army guerrillas in China in the entire theater behind enemy lines, and the devils can't mobilize so many people for a while, so they waited until now.

This time, in order to completely wipe out the third guerrilla detachment, the devils specially borrowed three 1000-type infantry artillery from the regiment. More than [-] devils and puppet troops soon arrived at the outskirts of Qinghe Town.

"Sir, the devil is not kind this time."

Standing in the fortifications outside the town, many officers and soldiers looked tense as they watched the devils and puppet troops unfolding outside.

And Zhang Liechen gasped when he saw so many enemies coming this time, but he couldn't show his fear.

"Brothers, our people are no less than devils and traitors. As long as we hold the fortifications and fight to the death, they will do nothing to us!"

Zhang Liechen raised his voice to cheer up his brothers, but there were very few voices responding. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a vicious battle.

"We have won this battle! I invite the brothers to a banquet!" Zhang Liechen shouted again when he saw that the brothers did not respond.

"it is good!"

This action finally mobilized the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the third detachment, and they all moved their guns out of the trenches, ready to fight.

Body 7 Chapter Nineteen Puppet Army

Devil Captain Kasai Sadao stood on a slightly higher ridge with his saber in both hands, squinting his narrow and fierce eyes to look at Qinghe Town.

Under the command of two second lieutenants, more than 100 devil infantry have been quickly divided into two groups to build bunkers relying on the ridges of the fields.
