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

Thick and cleansing gunpowder smoke flows low in the night, and the black smoke from burning houses flickers from east to west with the biting leeward wind, covering the entire sky, revealing a blackness that cannot be dispersed like ink.

"The battalion commander ordered us to come up to replace you, and your second company retreated to the warehouse behind to rest."

The commander of the third company of the first battalion led more than 160 officers and soldiers to the line of fire in the city against the ruins and the root of the wall. The commander of the third company found the commander of the second company whose arm was bleeding from behind a broken wall.

The Second Company Commander is a middle-aged man who looks frail, but he is a veteran who has survived many battles. The bumpy spatter marks and calloused hands are the best evidence.

Now every grassroots company commander of the North Subei Anti-Japanese First Guerrilla Corps under Yang Ling's command was promoted by veterans. They were all people who fought against the little devil for the rest of their lives.

The so-called raging generals and raging soldiers, Yang Ling hoped that this group of backbone grassroots officers who dared to fight bloody devils could support the troops and instill their bloody and tough style into their subordinates.

Now Yang Ling has two main guerrilla battalions, eight infantry companies, two machine gun companies, ten veteran company commanders and a group of veteran squad leaders, which are the backbone of their troops.

In Yang Ling's army, if you want to be promoted, you can't rely on flattery, you must have solid military exploits, and you must be able to kill devils!

It was precisely because of the existence of such a group of strong grassroots officers that Yang Ling's guerrilla corps was able to form a fighting force in a short period of time, and it screamed at the devils without fear.

If it is placed in the rest of the troops, I am afraid that without several months of recruit training and a few brutal battles, the combat effectiveness will definitely not improve.

But Yang Ling and the others had nothing to do now that they were in the enemy's rear. The enemy's rear was full of dangers, not only the Japanese and puppet troops, but also spies, traitors, and gang forces.

Every force could easily kill Yang Ling and the others. The only way to survive behind the cruel enemy was to become stronger.

Just like everyone, only when you are strong can you be really strong, and you will always be calm and calm in the face of all kinds of dangers. This is your confidence, and now the brothers under Yang Ling's command are his confidence.

"Go back and tell the battalion commander, I can still fight, our second company is not dead, as long as there is one person in our second company and a gun, we will fight the little devil to the end!"

The second company commander heard that the battalion asked the third company to change their defense, and mistook it for the battalion finger that they didn't fight well, so he stared at his red eyes and growled.

Their second company has been rushing to the forefront since they entered the city, beating the little devils who were blocking the attack and fleeing. Now they cooperate with the other two companies to occupy the north of the city.

At this time, Ying Zhi wanted to withdraw them. The brothers under the commander of the second company had lost so many battles, and they were eager to seek revenge from the devils. How could they go down.

"I said, why don't you know what's good and what's wrong? It's good for you to let you go down to rest. It's good for you to replenish your physical strength and fight devils. Take people down quickly."

Seeing his old brother acting violently, the third company commander also got angry and gave him a supercilious look, urging him.

The second company commander picked up the gun that was placed beside him without saying a word, stood up from behind the broken wall with red eyes, and kicked the signal soldier beside him: "Tell brothers, get ready to fight! Take the gun!" Go down to the house in front and avenge Cheng Ren's brothers!"

The third company commander grabbed the second company commander who was about to attack again, and cursed angrily: "Officer Yang personally ordered you to go down, don't be foolish, carry out the order, and take the brothers down."

When the second company commander heard that it was Yang Ling, the captain, who personally ordered them to withdraw from the line of fire to rest, he paused, raised his head and said, "Commander Yang's order?"

"Can I still lie to you?"

Suspiciousness flashed across the face of the second company commander. If the battalion command told them to withdraw, it was probably because they were worried that they would not be strong enough to fight with a stronger company. If you want to withdraw, you must withdraw with honor.

But if Yang Ling personally issued the order, the nature would be different. It must mean that there was some other combat arrangement, after all, it always meant planning the overall situation.

"Hehe, then I will withdraw. Be careful. There are many snipers on the opposite side of the devil. Don't be targeted." The second company commander figured this out and patted the third company commander on the shoulder. Hand over.

The concept of a sniper is still from the mouth of the captain, Yang Ling. Before, the brothers were called sharpshooters and special shooters, but now they are called Shunzi, and they can't change it.

"Okay, I understand." The third company commander who came to change defense nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Company commander, brothers are ready! Give the order to attack!" A brother hurried over and said to the second company commander.

"Let the brothers hand over the various positions to the brothers of the third company, and let's retreat to rest." The second company commander patted the dust on his body and said.

"Ah? Let's stop attacking?" The visitor opened his mouth in surprise.

The second company commander grinned and said, "The commander-in-chief has given us a more important combat mission. Go ahead and let the brothers withdraw! Take the bodies of the brothers who died in battle with us."

The brother was slightly taken aback, then nodded, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The [-]st Battalion, [-]rd Company and [-]th Company replaced the [-]st Company and [-]nd Company, which had been fighting continuously for two hours, and all frontline positions were changing defenses silently.

The machine gun company belonging to the first battalion had no one to replace them. Fortunately, they didn't directly engage the devils, and kept hiding behind for fire support, so the loss was not too great.

The reason why Yang Ling withdrew these fighting companies and replaced them with new recruits was not random.

It is because the next battle in the city will fall into a see-saw of street fighting. The new company has to last two days before it can get reinforcements. The new force.

And the withdrawn company will not go into street fighting again after the rest, but will leave Gaoyou City to fight against the devils and puppet troops on the outskirts and destroy the Japanese and puppet reinforcements.

The reinforcements arrived near the line of fire and did not immediately launch a new round of attacks on the devils. Instead, they evacuated the people on the spot and rushed to repair the fortifications. They were going to spend time with the devils in the city.

After fighting in the middle of the night, Yang Ling's guerrilla corps had already controlled most of the blocks in the north of the city, including Shuangmiao, Guandi Temple and the flour mill area.

The current situation in the city is that the devil and Yang Ling each occupy half, but with the changes in the situation and the new battle plans of the commanders of both sides.

The two sides almost unanimously stopped launching large-scale attacks on each other, but turned to fortifications and prepared for long-term combat.

The people in Pipa Street and other neighborhoods located in the line of fire between the two sides quickly evacuated under the cover of the troops.

It can be expected that in the next period of time, this city that is stuck at the gate of the Lianghuai River will become a meat grinder, and the guerrilla corps will grind the scum of the victorious Japanese and puppet troops that have been reinforced one by one. Not left.

Text 9 Chapter [-] Unite as one!

It was not yet dawn, but the raging fire in the city had been burning red for a long time, as if a red hole had been burned in the dark sky, devouring the souls of the dead.

The fighting in the neighborhood where devils and guerrilla officers and soldiers fought has eased. The two sides are facing each other more than 100 meters apart. Cold guns are still ringing.

With the assistance of the guerrillas, the civilians near the fighting area have begun to evacuate to the rear to avoid being accidentally injured by the shells falling from the fighting.

In this era of war and chaos, the people have long been accustomed to the city becoming a battlefield. They silently carried food and packages, left home, and braved the cold wind to move towards a safe zone.

After all, Gaoyou is the gateway of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and it relies on the canal. It can go north to Baoying and Huaiyin, and goes south to Yangzhou and the Yangtze River by water and land. Its strategic location is important.

Yang Ling clearly remembered that the devil's emperor had announced his unconditional surrender. More than 5000 devils who were transferred from Yangzhou to the north to join the devils in Gaoyou City stubbornly resisted and refused to surrender.

But they were completely wiped out by the heroic Chinese officers and soldiers in the end. Although there are only a thousand devils in the city plus the wounded, the battle is even more cruel.

Because the guerrilla troops are still growing like immature babies, but the devils are strong adults.

Anticipating the cruelty of the battle, Yang Ling made complete preparations to let the people evacuate. The war will kill people, but it is also the duty of their commanders to minimize casualties.

The people with their families and their families closed their doors silently, and followed the guerrilla officers and soldiers who came to cover them and left bowed.

Behind them, the devil's incendiary bombs fell down, and the devil set many houses on fire, in order to slow down the attack speed of the guerrilla officers and soldiers, waiting for the surrounding reinforcements to encircle.

Many evacuated people were weeping when they saw their houses billowing with smoke in the raging fire, but they were all unarmed people, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"Let's go at ease. After the war, we will help you rebuild your house."

The guerrilla officers and soldiers could also understand the feelings of these people at the moment, and comforted them in a low voice, seeing their homes destroyed by the war, no one felt good.

Although the guerrilla officers and soldiers were comforting, there were still low sobbing sounds from the crowd from time to time. They walked back and forth at every step, and they didn't know if they would have a home when they came back.
