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

Now that the devils are deflated, although the Nanjing puppet government and the little devils are on the same front, they are still very happy. Now they don't need them to beg the devils, and the devils will take the initiative to fight Yang Ling and their northern Jiangsu corps. You can just watch the show as a bystander.

"Good news, good news, the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps descended from heaven and wiped out the devil's Baoying headquarters, and even the devil's detachment leader Hisashi Watanabe was shot to death."

The Sulu Theater Command hidden in the mountainous area of ​​southern Shandong also got the news of Baoying's victory immediately, and the intelligence staff reported the news to the officers immediately.

"Really? Didn't you say they were surrounded by devils earlier?" Faced with this news, Commander Yu Xuezhong first questioned it.

Because these officers have seen more storms and waves, the troops under their command often lie about their military achievements, and often kill a devil's infantry squad of more than 50 people. When reporting, they can exaggerate to destroy a devil's squadron.

Therefore, many of the telegrams that reported victory contained a lot of water, and these officers knew it well.

"It's absolutely true. This is a message from our agents lurking in Nanjing." The staff officer in charge of the strategic intelligence department of the Sulu theater said firmly.

"Send a report to the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps to confirm." Chief of Staff General Zhou Jingxuan ordered after a moment of thought.

"Yes!"

"This Yang Ling is really a lucky general in our Sulu war zone. He is in charge of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, but he has won many battles. He has given us a face in the Sulu war zone. I think he should be rewarded." After the intelligence staff left, General Zhou Fu, Director of the Political Department, said with a smile.

"Although Yangling fought well, he disobeyed the command of the headquarters and abandoned Baoying without authorization, causing tens of thousands of people in Baoying to fall into the enemy's hands again. If we reward him again, then the troops below will follow suit. If he acted so arbitrarily like this, wouldn’t it be messed up, how can he fight a war, I think the reward will be waived, and it will be fine if he is not sent to a military court.” Deputy Commander Shen Liejun shook his head.

"Brother Shen, this is wrong. The devils are attacking the country fiercely, and the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps is not strong enough. Abandoning Baoying is also a helpless move. We have to understand the difficulties of the troops below." Zhou Fu, director of the political department, explained. .

"Besides, the ammunition supplies they applied for last time have not yet been dispatched. I think it is not easy for them to deal with the devils for so long without ammunition."

"Our Sulu war zone has always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for deeds. First, write down the matter of disobeying military orders to Yang Ling. This time they won the battle, and we can't chill the hearts of those officers and soldiers who fought bloody battles. Director Zhou, wait After confirming the battle report, you personally draw up a commendation telegram and send it to us. For the officers and soldiers who have made meritorious service, how much do we spare a few medals."

In the end, it was Yu Xuezhong, the commander in chief, who stopped the argument between the two and made some arrangements of his own.

"Yes!" General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, agreed.

The first thousand and 180 chapters of the main body, the five hunts down!

The sky is gloomy and heavy rain is approaching, thirty miles south of Baoying County.

On a field of soil, Major Takahashi, the captain of the Devils Battalion, was holding up his binoculars to look into the distance. His field of vision was full of green grass and wasteland, and there were no ghosts.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the headquarters is urgently calling."

A devil's communications staff officer with muddy military boots struggled to climb up the soil beam, and stood upright in front of the team leader Gao Qiao, holding a telegram in his hand.

"What orders does the headquarters have?" Major Takahashi asked without any expression on his face.

The devil's communications staff officer stepped forward and replied: "The headquarters ordered our department to go all out to pursue and destroy the China Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps. It must be wiped out to save face."

"Understood." Major Takahashi replied lightly.

More than 1000 devil soldiers armed to the teeth from the Gaoqiao Infantry Brigade returned to Baoying, and after discovering that the detachment leader and the headquarters had been taken over by Yang Ling and the others, they launched a pursuit operation in rage.

But Yang Ling and the others were as slippery as loaches. When the Gaoqiao infantry brigade was about to catch up several times, they slipped away, which made the ghost soldiers feel angry.

After chasing this area, they lost it. Facing the criss-crossing rivers and the lush green land, Major Takahashi was in a bad mood.

Because if they don't catch up and annihilate the fleeing Subei guerrilla corps this time, they won't be able to explain to the headquarters.

At that time, not to mention taking over the vacant position of the detachment leader, I am afraid that he will have a bad reputation for pursuing and suppressing, which he does not want to see.

Now, whether it was to compete with the other infantry captains for the vacant detachment leader position, or to save face, he had to put up all his energy and pursue them with all his strength.

The ghost soldiers are already exhausted from the repeated battles these days, and now they are about to lose their strength after chasing for most of the day.

Although Takahashi, the captain of the Devils, wanted to catch up and wipe out the fleeing Subei guerrilla corps immediately, but he also knew that the troops had reached their limit, so he had to order an hour's rest to replenish their strength.

At this moment, in the field covered with tender green weeds behind this earthen beam, the devil soldiers with guns fell asleep all over the ground, snoring loudly, they were really tired.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the search team will send a signal when they find the whereabouts of the Chinese army. You should go and rest for a while."

Seeing the haggard leader of the devils, Major Takahashi, looking for guerrillas with binoculars, a devil's staff couldn't help persuading him.

Captain Takahashi of the Guizi Battalion first commanded the troops to fight fiercely in the area north of Baoying for several days.

Unexpectedly, it was too late to rush them. The detachment leader's headquarters in Baoying was taken over by the guerrillas, and the supplies and ammunition in the warehouse were even wiped out.

Now they don't care about rest, and they have to carry out the mission of hunting and suppressing. He hasn't had a full night's sleep for several days.

It's okay if the devil's staff officer didn't say anything, but when he said that, the devil's team leader, Major Takahashi, suddenly felt waves of tiredness.

He wanted to refuse at first, but he raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and finally nodded: "Then I'll go to sleep for a while, and report immediately if there is any trace of the guerrillas."

"Hi!" The devil's staff officer stood up and agreed.

Captain Gaoqiao Shaozuo stepped down from the field, took his marching blanket from the orderly, found a place to wrap it up and began to rest.

When the army of devils was resting exhausted, the search teams sent out by more than a dozen devils could only hold on to search for traces of the guerrillas.

"Go and see the woods over there."

After a devil's search team crossed a barren field, a large green forest appeared in front of their eyes.

The devil would naturally not give up searching for such a forest where people could easily hide. Under the order of the devil's infantry unit, the devil walked towards the forest.

The eight devil riflemen opened the skirmish line and walked at the forefront, and the devil's infantry unit leader followed closely behind with the four devils from the machine gun group, ready to provide fire support at any time.

"Sir, a devil is coming."

At this moment, Yang Ling and the others, who were leading the devil away to the south, hid in the forest to rest. When the sentry lying on the edge of the forest saw the little devil, they immediately bowed back to the forest and reported to Yang Ling.

There is only one infantry company around Yang Ling now, excluding those who were injured and killed in the battle of Baoying, the fourth company now has 130 five soldiers who can still fight, with five light machine guns and three grenadier teams.

Hearing the devils approaching, the resting brothers in the woods grabbed their guns and stood up one after another, ready to run away again.

"How many people are there?" Yang Ling calmed down a lot, staring at the sentinel and asked.

"There is only one infantry squad, thirteen devils." The sentinel replied [-].

Hearing that there were only a dozen little devils, everyone who was nervous looked relieved.

It's not because they are tense, but they know that there are thousands of little devils staring at them now. If they are not cautious, they may be completely wiped out.

"A small team should be their search team." Yang Ling judged.

Yang Ling and the others have been resting here for a long time, and the brothers have recovered some strength. Looking out of the forest, Yang Ling's mouth twitched into a sneer.

"Get ready to fight and kill them!"

Yang Ling's purpose was to lure the little devil away and cover the main force to retreat northward to Huaiyin. It would not be a problem if he kept hiding like this, so Yang Ling decided to stimulate the little devil again.

After hearing the order, the brothers all had serious expressions, pulled the bolts and loaded the bullets one after another, and moved towards the edge of the woods silently.
