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

Yang Ling looked at Luo Feng's face that was splattered by shrapnel, and then looked at his blood-stained military uniform, with an awe-inspiring expression. He didn't expect that he was a veteran who had fought in the Shanghai Battle.

"Send them to the medical team first for treatment."

Yang Ling respected all soldiers who were able to fight tough and vicious battles. Without the slightest hesitation, he arranged for the injured brothers to be sent for treatment first.

Seeing Yang Ling's words, the two brothers who were supporting Luo Feng also let go of their hands, and looked at Luo Feng with a lot of respect.

Soldiers don't have so many flirts, and they respect these tough steel guys who dare to fight the little devils.

"Thank you sir!"

After Luo Feng was let go, facing Yang Ling's quick promise, he was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand full of bayonet wounds, and saluted Yang Ling, because he and his injured brother didn't have to die because of lack of medical treatment. died.

"Can you hold on?" Among the wounded soldiers, only Luo Feng seemed to be in better condition, Yang Ling also asked.

Although Luo Feng didn't know the intention of Yang Ling's words, he still nodded vigorously: "Sir, I can hold on."

"Okay, bandage the wound and find me in the village ahead. We need a guide." Yang Ling ordered.

"Yes!" Luo Feng hurriedly turned his head and explained to his brother who was being carried to the medical team on a stretcher, and quickly chased after Yang Ling and the others in the direction they left.

The reason why Yang Ling and the others appeared near Gaoyou City was to follow orders.

Yang Ling and the others received a telegram from the theater headquarters a few days ago, ordering them to quickly go south to reinforce the first guerrilla unit of Major General Ma Yuren in Gaoyou City and recover Gaoyou City.

Along with the telegram, Yang Ling was promoted to the No. [-] Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu. With the loss of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, even the commander of the column died for the country.

Due to the heavy losses of the Chongqing guerrilla forces in the area near Huaiyin, they could no longer support the next winter offensive mission.

Therefore, the Theater Command had no choice but to let Yang Ling, the former commander of the third guerrilla detachment, be ordered to gather nearby stragglers and anti-Japanese armed forces to form the first anti-Japanese guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu. heavy burden.

Although Yangling's Subei Anti-Japanese No. [-] Guerrilla Corps was temporarily established, compared with the previous guerrilla detachment, both the scale and level of the organization have been improved.

The theater command gave Yang Ling the first guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu with three guerrilla battalions, but because they were behind enemy lines, supplies and equipment could only be postponed, and now Yang Ling had to rely on his own efforts.

Yang Ling didn't expect much support from the poor Sulu Theater Command, but he complained a lot in the telegram. As for whether he can ask for supplies or equipment, it depends on luck.

Fortunately, the theater command gave a title of guerrilla corps, which can be regarded as raising the flag, and Yang Ling's soldiers are all ready-made, and there are even extra.

Yang Ling also kept on doing two things, and adjusted the strength and organization of the Northern Subei Anti-Japanese First Guerrilla Corps on the day it was announced.

Now the combat troops under the corps have been adjusted to two strengthened guerrilla battalions and one recruit supplementary battalion, and the strength of each battalion has also expanded to more than 800 people.

Each reinforced battalion has four infantry companies of 160 and six people, equipped with nine light machine guns, three grenadier teams, and a battalion-directed machine gun company, equipped with heavy machine guns, mortars and a Type [-] infantry gun. two doors.

The commander of the first battalion is a blacksmith, the commander of the second battalion is Wu Changqing, and the new recruits supplement the battalion commander Zheng Gang. Except for Zheng Gang who was adjusted from the deputy battalion commander to the battalion commander, the other two battalion commanders still lead the original troops, but they are supplemented. Some recruits go in.

In addition to the medical team, military propaganda team, supply team, engineering company, and guard company, Yang Ling's guerrilla corps directly subordinated a battalion-level force, which was a "patriotic" battalion composed of all captured puppet troops.

These puppet soldiers captured by Yang Ling and the others numbered as many as 700. Of course, those who committed the most heinous crimes were dealt with secretly, and those who remained were those who had not made any serious mistakes.

But everyone has to pay the price for their choice, even if they are forced, they still need to pay the price. After all, they once wore the uniform of the puppet army and betrayed their country for a short time.

When Yang Ling first set up a labor camp, he hoped that through the preaching and physical labor of the labor camp, they would be able to start a new life.

But now Yang Ling changed the name of the labor camp to the "Patriotic" camp, hoping that these officers and soldiers who had made mistakes but could turn around in time would be patriotic and fight the little devils.

Because these captured puppet troops were good and bad, and for different periods of time, Yang Ling was not sure whether they would turn against the water again if they were asked to immediately turn their guns on the little devils.

So Yang Ling did not add them to the army, but came out alone, directly under him, and sent some instructors to teach patriotism and conduct military training. During the war, they were responsible for digging trenches and transporting supplies.

Now the officers and soldiers of the "Patriotic" Battalion did not distribute weapons and ammunition, nor were they combat troops. They were a very special existence under the command of Yangling's Northern Subei Anti-Japanese First Guerrilla Corps.

Only officers and soldiers who performed well could leave the "Patriotic Battalion". Yang Ling also gave them two choices. The first was to go to the supplementary battalion as a supplementary soldier, and they could be added to the combat troops to fight against the little devils at any time.

The second option is to take off the military uniform and go home, and become an ordinary citizen from then on. But until now, most of the qualified patriotic battalion officers and soldiers have chosen to go to the supplementary battalion after receiving patriotic education and wait for supplementary training. Into the combat troops to fight against the little devils.

This time Yang Ling personally led the officers and soldiers of the No. [-] Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu to the south to reinforce Gaoyou. up.

After he received the order, he led his troops south without stopping, but it was a pity that he was one step too late, and the first guerrilla troops fighting against the devils near Gaoyou had already been defeated and dispersed.

In the case of losing the command organization, the first guerrilla troops fought bloody battles with the little devils for several days, and finally could not withstand the internal and external attacks of the little devils and the puppet army. Some broke through to southern Jiangsu, and some fell to the surrounding area and encountered the devils. And the brutal hunt by the puppet army.

After Yang Ling got this information, he also attached great importance to it. On the one hand, he sent the Raging Flame Special Warfare Brigade as an advance force to go deep into the theater to investigate the enemy's situation.

Text Chapter 895 Gaoyou

The main force of Yangling's first guerrilla corps went south and arrived at the periphery of Gaoyou quietly, but the Gaoyou devil defenders who had just defeated Ma Yuren's first guerrilla army were kept in the dark.

Those puppet troops with teeth and claws are in companies and platoons in the towns and villages near Gaoyou, hunting for the scattered guerrilla officers and soldiers, and bloody killings are going on.

General Ma Yuren's first guerrilla unit was ordered to counterattack Gaoyou during the winter offensive, but unexpectedly the headquarters was destroyed by an elite group of devils, causing the army to collapse without a leader.

The devils have won a huge victory. Although the smoke over Gaoyou City has not yet dissipated, traces of the battle still remain in the trenches outside the city.

But the little devils in Gaoyou City have already relaxed, they are busy resting and licking their wounds, so even the search and arrest task has been handed over to those puppet soldiers who are eager to claim credit and reward.

Because the commanders of the devils are well versed in the principle of using China to control China, only by letting the Chinese people's hands be stained with the blood of the Chinese themselves, can they help them control China even more desperately.

In their eyes, the so-called security forces were nothing more than a dog they kept in captivity. If the dog was to be ferocious enough, they had to let him eat meat and let them smell blood.

Moreover, letting these security and puppet troops kill their own people will also cut off their retreat, so they can only follow them wholeheartedly, otherwise they will be wiped out by the guerrillas.

And the puppet troops that reinforced Gaoyou did live up to the high expectations of the devil commander. In order to express themselves eagerly, they were eager to ask for credit and rewards, and they also mustered their strength.

"Your Excellency Major, the security forces have successively hunted down and eliminated more than 500 Chinese guerrillas in the past few days. Do you want to stop the hunt?"

In a clean and tidy office, a devil officer standing upright reported to a devil major about the search and arrest situation in recent days.

Major Devil's face was covered with wounds from shrapnel spatter. The hideous wounds combined with the black hair under his nose made him look fierce.

During the fiercest battle in Gaoyou City, Major Guizi personally led the troops to fight hand-to-hand with the guerrillas.

"No, expand the scope of the search and arrest, and we must cut the grass and roots!" The devil's eyes were full of viciousness.

In the opinion of Major Guizi, now is the time when these guerrilla troops are at their weakest, and they will kill you while you are sick, otherwise, it will be another trouble when they gather.

"Hi!"

The devil lieutenant officer who reported did not have the slightest doubt about this order. In his eyes, it was nothing more than killing a few more people.

"Your Excellency Major, what should we do with the more than 50 guerrilla prisoners captured?" Lieutenant Guizi did not leave, and continued to ask for instructions.

Guizi Shao Zuo only thought for a moment before making a decision: "Take them all to the gate of the city and shoot them, call the people of China to watch their punishment, and let them see the consequences of resisting our Imperial Japanese Army."

This is an obvious example of killing chickens and monkeys, and the Devil Major also hopes to show their force and the fate of resistance through such actions.

But what they don't know is that their bayonets will not bring the brave Chinese to their knees, but will only bring hatred and more fierce resistance.
