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

He also knew that in the Japanese imperial army, there were many talented people and ambitious people. If he could not give the headquarters a good record to stop the mouths of those high-ranking officials in the base camp, someone would soon replace him.

So no matter what, he led the army to advance into Gaoyou this time, and he had to get off to a good start and win a beautiful battle, so that he could advance step by step, so the first battle must be completely won!

At this moment, the commander of Gaoyou City, Shao Zuo Qingchuan, who was huddled in the city and lingered on his last breath, didn't know that he and his subordinates had actually been abandoned and became just stepping stones for others to climb up. Constant calls for help.

"Brothers in the south sent back news that the devil's two infantry brigades have passed Shaobo Town, and their vanguard is less than 25 kilometers away from Gaoyou..."

"About a squadron of devils came from the waterway by motorboat, and they could reach Gaoyou Wharf in the evening."

……

The devils rushed straight to Gaoyou, and Yang Ling and the others got the news very quickly. When they heard that the devils had sent two brigades, everyone gasped.

They still know the fighting power of the devil soldiers, which is quite strong. Although they fought against the devils in Gaoyou, it was because they were outnumbered and the devils were few. They had just experienced General Ma Yuren's attack and hadn't recovered yet. This allowed them to pick up a bargain.

But if they were to fight the Devils head-on with the First Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu, they might not really be opponents, but this time the Devils came to two brigades at once, as well as the motorboat unit, which was a bit tricky.

After all, they came here with the idea of ​​encircling the spot to fight for aid. Now that there are so many devils here, don't be overwhelmed, and your teeth will fall out instead.

In fact, if Yang Ling and the others knew that these two infantry brigades were just the vanguard of the devils, they would be even more uneasy.

After all, this time the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters had a big appetite, and the task given to the Sano detachment was to completely eliminate the Chinese army in Jiangsu.

With Yang Ling and his team's strength, it would be foolish to fight against the Sano detachment alone. Yang Ling didn't expect to catch a man-eating shark after fishing for a long time. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

At this moment, a communications officer hurried over with a message.

"Report! Officer Yang, Li Changjiang, deputy commander of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, has sent a telegram. He has personally led two guerrilla regiments to besiege the enemy army in Gaoyou. Let us persevere. They will arrive in Gaoyou by noon!"

"Damn! These bastards are quick to grab the credit!"

Seeing that Gaoyou was about to be liberated, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps came to pick peaches, and Liu Jinhu, the deputy battalion commander, immediately couldn't help but cursed angrily.

"Sir, there are not many devils in the east of the city. Let me take people up to destroy them. Let's recover Gaoyou first. It's useless if the Sulu Guerrilla Corps comes!"

Seeing that someone came to grab the credit, that's okay, so the blacksmith thought to wipe out the devils in the city first, and send the telegram of recovery first.

"Yes, quickly wipe out the remnants of the enemy, we can't let them take advantage of it, why should we let them take a share of Gaoyou, which our brothers fought so hard for!"

Chapter 948 Doing business

The staff officers of the North Jiangsu Corps were also promoted from the grassroots. They were not like those frail scholars who came from regular military academies, but steel soldiers who had been fought in the smoke of gunpowder, with clear love and hatred.

When Yang Ling and the others fought bloody battles with the devils and puppet troops in Gaoyou, no one from the Sulu Guerrilla Corps could be seen, but now that they were at the end of the mopping-up stage, they came at full speed.

The purpose of Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, leading his troops to Gaoyou this time is self-evident, that is, to get a piece of the pie and share some credit. How can the staff under Yang Ling's command bear this tone.

It's like cooking a pot of meat hard, but someone else took it away before you tasted it yourself. Naturally, they don't want to.

"Mr. Yang, just give the order. In half an hour, I can wipe out all the remaining little devils!"

"I'll take people to set up the card. People from the Sulu Guerrilla Corps want to pick peaches. It's a beautiful idea!"

……

The staff officers were all shouting indignantly, they were very shameless towards Li Changjiang's behavior of deputy commander in chief, and they all wanted to clean it up quickly, and let him fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.

Things like stealing credit are very popular in the Chinese army at this time. The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. This evil spirit can be seen from the chairman.

As long as there is credit, he will send the central army to share a piece of the pie. Often the provincial and local troops who have fought bloody battles have suffered heavy losses are just symbolic praise, while the central army has done nothing but publicized it.

In particular, the Northeast Army entered the customs with hundreds of thousands of troops, and there were many bloody battles with little devils with national hatred and family hatred, but they were often lost in the first battle. Instead of being supplemented, their numbers were cut off. There are countless such incidents .

The impact it caused was also extremely bad. Although in the early stage, all armies fought bloody battles with the little devils, but now, many people have learned to be smart, that is, to preserve their strength.

There are quite a few people in the Sulu War Zone who want to preserve their strength. On the surface, it is the Chongqing Army, which receives military pay and ammunition under the banner of anti-Japanese war, but secretly flirts with the little devils, and even signed an agreement in private to set up a buffer zone.

As long as the little devils don't enter their territory, they won't take the initiative to fight the devils. The two sides coexist in a tacit understanding, and even have contacts, but because there is no evidence, the Chongqing side is also very helpless.

For example, Yan Xishan, the commander of the Shanxi theater, even held a so-called alliance with the devils and signed an alliance.

Although the staff officers shouted angrily that Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu guerrilla, should not take the credit, but Yang Ling thought of something farther away.

Aren't you, Li Changjiang, here to grab credit?Didn't you want to preserve your strength, secretly making eye contact with devils?

Well, I'll do what I can, let you confront the little devil head-on, pull you into the water, and see if you still maintain a tacit understanding with the little devil, then I can't help you.

"Everyone listen to me." Yang Ling knocked on the table, stopped the staff officers from shouting angrily, pointed to the dark room, and there was no sound at all.

Yang Ling has always been dignified in the No. [-] Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu. After all, he founded the No. [-] Corps by himself, and he single-handedly promoted these officers, who are all guided by him.

"Everyone, the deputy commander-in-chief Li Changjiang was sent by us to invite them to join forces and attack Gaoyou. Now that they are here, how can we say that they are here to claim credit? Do you think so?"

"But, why doesn't he come sooner or later? Why should he come at this time? He obviously wants to grab credit."

Staff officer Lei Xiong hadn't recovered from it yet, and his face was still full of anger.

Yang Ling looked around and said, "You care about merit so much, don't you just join the army and fight devils to get promoted and get rich?"

Everyone shook their heads. When beating devils, they put their heads on their waistbands and lick blood from the knife edge. If they really want to get promoted and get rich, go to the devils and become a puppet army, and the speed of promotion and fortune will be faster.

"We are soldiers. What are the responsibilities of soldiers? It is our duty to defend our home and country, and it is our duty to fight devils, so don't talk about whether to grab credit or not. Our purpose is only one, and that is to beat the devils out Go to China, and don’t let our descendants be subjugated slaves!”

Yang Ling's words were so loud that everyone felt ashamed. They were all focused on the credit, but forgot their duty.

Staff officer Lei Xiong stammered: "Sir, what you said makes sense, and we understand it, but the brothers shed their blood and fought hard to defeat Gaoyou, if they can get credit, even if they die in battle, the pension will be higher, after all, everyone has wives and children... "

Yang Ling nodded: "That's natural, but have you ever thought about it? If we recover Gaoyou and Huaiyin, in just one month, our North Jiangsu First Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Corps will recover two counties, brother." Ladies, the tree attracts the wind..."

"Now the devil has dispatched two infantry brigades to come over. If we show the limelight again, let alone the friendly army is jealous, the devil will definitely take us under the knife if he is beaten in the face continuously. When the time comes, he will retaliate wildly against us. Can we escape? ?”

Yang Ling said earnestly: "Besides, our brothers have suffered a lot of casualties these days, and we are no longer capable of fighting the devil head-on. We just recovered Gaoyou, and we will be taken away by the devil right away. I'm afraid others will laugh at us again." The day will come back, don’t say you won’t be rewarded, I’m afraid you will be harshly criticized.”

After Yang Ling's analysis, everyone calmed down. From this point of view, it seems that there is no real benefit except for the good name of Guangfu Gaoyou.

At this moment, Gaoyou seems to have become a hot potato. If the recovery fails, not only will it not be rewarded, but it will be questioned by the theater command.

What's more important is that the big tree attracts the wind, not only to attract revenge from devils, but also to attract jealousy from friendly troops.

Yang Ling clearly remembered that the No. 70 Fourth Army had won too many victories on weekdays because of its big tree, which made the friendly army jealous.

As a result, the Seventh Division under his command was surrounded by tens of thousands of devils in Changde, and the hundreds of thousands of Chinese rescue troops in the periphery hesitated, watching the Seventh Division be wiped out.

That's a bloody lesson, aren't you pretty good at fighting, then let you fight first, and I'll clean up the mess after the fight.

Yang Ling didn't want his North Subei Anti-Japanese First Guerrilla Corps to fall into such a trap. Since he had already made a splash in Huaiyin, Gaoyou, a hot potato, had better be courteous to others.

"Of course, we fought so hard for so many days and killed and injured so many brothers, we can't let others take advantage of it for nothing." Yang Ling is not a person who likes to suffer.
