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

"Send someone to find some white ash to sprinkle on it, and then bury it deep."

Yang Ling knew that the dead were gone, and the living wanted to live better, to complete their unfinished business, resist to the end, and kill all the devils.

Although it is winter, there is still a great risk that so many corpses are buried here, and it is easy to cause plague.

In the long process of resisting the Japanese aggression, many battles caused more or less epidemics because of too many dead bodies.

As a result, hundreds of miles around became an epidemic area. For a long time, there was no one inhabited, people and animals died, and even little devils had to retreat and take a detour. Yang Ling didn't want Huaiyin to become a barren land full of bones.

Chapter 861 Another conspiracy?

The brothers of the guerrillas quickly got lime and sprinkled it on, and dug soil to fill up the pit where the corpses were buried, and a new grave stood beside the field.

"The Tomb of the Chinese Fallen Soldiers—"

A brother split a wooden sign and set up a simple tombstone in front of the grave for these strangers.

There are too many brothers who died here, and no one knows their names, but they all have a common identity, Chinese soldiers.

They once fought bravely and tenaciously against the invaders for the motherland under their feet, and Yang Ling and the others added a blood revenge that needed to be avenged.

Although there was more and more hatred, Yang Ling and the others knew that they were not qualified to forgive the devils for those brothers who had already died, so they had to keep fighting.

"salute!"

The brothers standing in front of the graves of the fallen brothers raised their hands in unison, as the cold wind howled, their eyes were full of determination.

The slaughter of the devils will not frighten the brave and tenacious Chinese soldiers. As long as the little devils are still in China, they will not give in or bow their heads, because they are soldiers and the last barrier of this nation.

"Brothers, go away. After the devils are beaten away, I will come back and take you home."

Liu Jinhu looked at the new grave where the fallen brothers were buried, with tears in his eyes.

The mighty thousands of people in their ninth guerrilla column were completely lost in just a few days. For Liu Jinhu, it was undoubtedly a heavy blow.

After a burst of gunfire, the entire ceremony of honoring the fallen brothers came to an end. With these heroic spirits guarding the place, after the winter, the place will become green again.

The main force of the Ninth Guerrilla Column was destroyed, and the commander died for the country. Liu Jinhu's first detachment only survived more than 100 people. Facing the powerful Japanese and puppet troops, life will become more difficult.

Liu Jinhu was in a depressed mood, sitting on the ridge of the field, smoking one cigarette after another, with a sad expression on his face.

"Captain Liu, what are you going to do next?"

Yang Ling also understood Liu Jinhu's mood. After all, anyone who fell into this situation felt uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to sit down next to him and asked about their plans.

Looking at the leaden sky in the distance, Liu Jinhu sighed heavily, turned his head to look at Yang Ling and said, "Captain Yang, can you lend us a batch of ammunition?"

"Want to seek revenge from the devil?"

Liu Jinhu nodded: "The little devil has killed so many of our brothers, this blood feud must be avenged!"

"That's what I mean too." Yang Ling said, "Why don't we act together."

"Are you going to Huaiyin too?" Now it was Liu Jinhu's turn to be surprised.

The Ninth Guerrilla Column was wiped out, and with so few people left in their first detachment, it would be difficult to cause a big storm. Instead of going back and hiding in the countryside to fight guerrillas and be wiped out by the Japanese and puppet troops, it is better to fight a big one before dying. .

But Yang Ling's situation was different. Their third guerrilla detachment was almost intact in this catastrophe.

Moreover, having eliminated so many little devils and seized so many weapons and equipment, they can be returned to Qinghe Town, and the little devils will have nothing to do with them for a while.

But what Liu Jinhu didn't expect was that Yang Ling wanted to follow them to Huaiyin to fight devils, which was completely unnecessary in his opinion.

"Captain Yang, we are already homeless. Even if we fail in revenge, it's no big deal. Anyway, this life is taken back, and the right should be returned to the brothers who sacrificed. There is no need for you to follow along here. Muddy water." Liu Jinhu reminded kindly.

However, Yang Ling shook his head: "Captain Liu, don't forget that I am also a member of the Ninth Guerrilla Column. How can I just stand by and watch you die now?"

Although Liu Jinhu didn't understand very much, seeing Yang Ling's firm gaze, he knew that Yang Ling was not lying.

"Then let's turn Huaiyin upside down!" Liu Jinhu stretched out his calloused hands to Yang Ling.

"It's a deal!" Yang Ling also stretched out his hand, it was a gentleman's agreement.

After burying the fallen brothers, Yang Ling did not return to Qinghe town with the brothers from the third guerrilla detachment.

Yang Ling knew very well in his heart that there would be no eggs under the cover of the nest. With the loss of the ninth guerrilla column, their third guerrilla detachment became the only armed force in this area.

The devils will definitely deal with them next. If they retreat to Qinghe Town now, they will only lead the war to Qinghe Town and bring pain to the people there.

So they had to stay here, attack the devils head-on, contain and consume the devils, and distract the devils.

Because if you don't smash him head-on in the face of adversity, you will fall into a more difficult situation in the future. People need to have the courage to face difficulties.

At the same time, precisely because the main force of the Ninth Guerrilla Column suffered a heavy blow and was completely lost, their Third Guerrilla Detachment could not retreat even more.

They must take over the burden of fighting and containing the devils, and complete the tasks that the column did not complete. This is their responsibility.

Yang Ling took the brothers of the third guerrilla detachment to hide in a village to the west of Huaiyin, and sent scouts to Huaiyin to investigate the enemy's situation, ready to find weak points and deal a fatal blow to the devils.

They have been in the village for two full days, and the officers and soldiers who were in charge of investigating Huaiyin came back.

"Why have you been gone for so long?" Yang Ling and the others thought that the brother who went to investigate had died after not coming back for two days.

The brothers of the investigation platoon, who were busy in the world, raised their heads, gulped down the big bowl of clear water, wiped their mouths, and then replied: "The little devils are very strict these days, and finally sneaked into the city, but met the devils who searched the other places." The person was almost caught, but luckily a fellow villager covered him, so he got away with it.”

Although the detective brothers said it lightly, all the officers in the room knew that going deep into the enemy's nest must be extremely dangerous, and they couldn't help admiring the courage of the detective brothers.

"How's the investigation going?" Yang Ling didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, asking the question he wanted to know the most.

"The little devils seem to be well-prepared outside, but I found that most of them are Ergouzi. After careful inquiry, I found out that the main force of the devils went south a few days ago. Now there are only five or six hundred No. [-] in the city. Gouzi and dozens of devils."

"Is this true?"

Hearing Brother Detective's words, Staff Officer Lei Xiong immediately stood up and couldn't wait to confirm.

Staff officer Lei Xiong has been a staff officer for so many months, and now he has the sensitivity of a staff officer. If Huaiyin really only has so few troops, maybe they can just take Huaiyin away.

"Ninety-nine are inseparable. During the two days I walked around the city, I really didn't see many devils."

Hearing what Brother Detective said, the staff officers and combat officers in the room became excited. If they took down Huaiyin City, they would have made great contributions.

Liu Jinhu, who was silent at the side, was not happy at all, but frowned, why is this routine so familiar.

"Captain Yang, I'm afraid this is a conspiracy by the little devil." Liu Jinhu kindly reminded.

"How do you say that?" Everyone turned their attention to Liu Jinhu in unison.

Liu Jinhu stood up and said with righteous indignation: "A few days ago we learned that the main force of the devils had gone to the direction of Lianshui for reinforcements, so we swaggered to attack Huaiyin. Who knew that the attack was frustrated, and the devils came back in the middle of the night... ..”
