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

"happy!"

"happy!"

When the brothers won the battle, they were naturally extremely happy, and they all raised their weapons and shouted.

"Brothers fought well today. It gave us the face of the captain of the Northern Jiangsu Army and the face of our Chinese soldiers. I, Yang Ling, thanked the brothers here!" Yang Ling said and saluted the brothers.

Yang Ling paused and continued: "Brothers, although we won the battle, we have received news that more than 3000 devils have rushed towards Baoying."

"Fuck it!"

"Yes, kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

The brothers were all so excited, they didn't pay attention to the thousands of little devils at all, and started yelling loudly.

"I know that brothers are not afraid of little devils, but brothers, this time the devil reinforcements have brought cannons over. If we defend the city, then Baoying will be blasted into ruins by devils, and the people in the city will follow us to die and be injured. , do you want Baoying to be turned into ruins?" Yang Ling asked loudly.

"I don't want to..." The brothers shook their heads one after another.

"Brothers, the current retreat does not mean failure. It is just to avoid the devil's edge temporarily. One day, we will fight back again! Just like last time we took the initiative to evacuate and fight back to destroy the devil today. As long as the little devil is still here, we will all take care of him sooner or later!" Yang Ling explained earnestly to the unwilling brothers.

"We listen to Officer Yang!" Soon the brothers understood and expressed their support.

"Okay, now pack up your weapons and ammunition, and evacuate in five minutes!" Yang Ling looked at the brothers and gave the order to retreat.

"Yes!"

Text Chapter 180, The Fate of the Invaders

"Old Yuan, you took the brothers from the company and the machine gun company to take a small path to meet the brothers who were surrounded. Most of the devils have returned to Baoying. I guess there are not many devils left in the countryside. You can handle it."

When Yang Ling was evacuating Baoying, he asked Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, to take people to meet the brothers who had been surrounded by devils before.

"After the brothers were brought out, some local brothers were left on the spot and formed a guerrilla unit with the militia to stay in the local area to fight guerrillas, and the main force withdrew to Huaiyin to rest and deploy defenses."

Although Yang Ling and the others fought several battles with the little devils in Baoying territory, they won and lost each other. The guerrillas also suffered heavy losses in this battle and urgently needed to rest and replenish.

So Yang Ling could only leave some guerrilla squads in Baoying territory to continue to contain and harass the devils, and the main force of the main team withdrew to Huaiyin to rest. He guessed that the next attack target of the devils might be Huaiyin, so he wanted to prepare early.

"Mr. Yang, what about you and Silian's brothers?"

Hearing that he was asked to take a group of people away, the deputy chief was very curious about Yang Ling's whereabouts.

Yang Ling explained: "My brothers from Silian and I are covering you. We made such a big commotion in Baoying that several little devils from the brigade surrounded them. If no one attracts the attention of the devils, these devils will soon be gone." Those who can find us retreating will not be able to retreat at that time."

"Sir, it's too dangerous. You'd better leave the task of attracting the devils to me. You take people back to Huaiyin first."

After hearing Yang Ling's words, Liu Zhi, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, stood up and took the initiative to take on this task.

Yang Ling smiled and shook his head: "Stop arguing, no one here is more suitable than me for this job, you don't need to worry."

Facing the persistent Yang Ling, after everyone's repeated persuasion was ineffective, they finally accepted the order helplessly.

"After you safely withdraw to Huaiyin, you must cooperate with Zhang Liechen to immediately deploy defenses. After I lure the devils away, I will go back." Yang Ling finally did not forget to tell the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao.

Now another deputy captain, Zhang Liechen, is staying in Huaiyin, and Zheng Gang's "Patriotic Battalion" is also in Huaiyin. Now that the main force is withdrawing, it will greatly strengthen Huaiyin's defense.

"Let's go, the devil will arrive in no time, if you don't go, you won't be able to go." Yang Ling urged the brothers.

"Sir, take care!"

"We are waiting for you to come back in Huaiyin."

Everyone saluted and said goodbye one after another. Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, and Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, quickly led the brothers to take a small road and headed straight for Shanyang Town.

"Sir, where are we going?"

When everyone had evacuated, Wang Dongming, the deputy battalion commander of the fifth battalion, and the fourth company commander all looked at Yang Ling inquiringly.

Yang Ling squatted down and began to tighten his leggings again: "Let the brothers prepare for the long-distance march, we will retreat south later."

"Retreat to the south? Isn't that the direction of Gaoyou? That's getting farther and farther away from Huaiyin." The fourth company commander frowned.

The deputy battalion commander Wang Dongming reacted quickly and explained: "Only if we lead the devils to the south and withdraw the main force to Huaiyin to the north can we be safe."

The fourth company commander suddenly realized after hearing this, and immediately said: "Then I will go and inform the troops to evacuate."

Yang Ling waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, prepare a gift for the devil."

Since he wanted to lure the little devil away, Yang Ling naturally had to do it thoroughly, otherwise the troops retreating north would be discovered by the devil.

"Take out all the military detonators from the devil's warehouse, and I'll teach you how to make booby traps." Yang Ling ordered them.

While Yang Ling and his brothers from the fourth company were busy in the battered Baoying, the devil's reinforcements rushed back.

"Report, the devil has already arrived outside the city."

The brothers standing at the top of the city as an observation post saw a large group of devil soldiers trotting along the road from a distance, and immediately rushed to report to Yang Ling.

"withdraw!"

Hearing that the little devil had arrived, Yang Ling ordered the brothers of Silian to evacuate south without the slightest hesitation.

The first to rush back was an infantry squadron under the command of the Guchuan Infantry Brigade, about [-] people. Because of the rapid march all the way, the team ran sparsely and stretched very long.

"stop!"

When seeing Baoying City billowing in black smoke from a distance, the panting Devil Squadron Leader made a gesture and raised his binoculars to observe.

In the binoculars, the entire broken city wall of Baoying City can be seen at a glance. Some corpses stretched across the city have not had time to clean up, and there are traces of battles everywhere. The row of devil officers hanging on the city wall is particularly conspicuous.

"Bagaya Road!"

When he saw some corpses wearing their military uniforms hanging on the city wall, the face of the devil's squadron leader suddenly sank. It seemed that the guerrillas had already entered the city.

"Battle formation, open the way!"

Soon, the devil's squadron leader pulled out his Nanfang pistol, and hundreds of them formed three echelons and pressed towards Baoying in a clattering formation.

The ghost soldiers were all ready to fight as if they were facing an enemy. The closer they were to the city wall, the more traces of battle remained on the ground.

The road surface has been bombed with potholes, a lot of turf has been lifted, leaving craters one by one, and the remaining blood has solidified into dark black.

The ghost soldiers approached the city wall cautiously, but they found that, except for the corpses of their companions, none of the guerrillas were found.

"The first and second teams went into the city to check, and the rest stayed put to guard."

The devil's squadron leader didn't dare to be careless, and was in ambush in fear, so he just sent two teams into the city to test.
