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

After the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps took control of Huaiyin, the battle line continued to expand outwards. It has not smelled gunpowder for many days.

People who fled to Huaiyin from various places one after another also settled here, making this important Jianghuai town prosperous again.

Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, is like a big housekeeper, sitting in Huaiyin all the time, stabilizing the rear of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

Now that Baoying Jieshou has fallen, the atmosphere in Huaiyin has also become tense, especially many of the troops withdrawn from Baoying are scarred and embarrassed, which has caused panic to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Zhang Liechen and the others refuted the rumors in time, and finally stabilized the situation, but facing the increasingly tense situation, everyone's heart was clouded.

Everyone understood that once the devils gained a firm foothold in Baoying, their next attack target would definitely be Huaiyin, which was very close at hand.

Therefore, Huaiyin's defenders are also actively preparing for war, especially with the withdrawal of many troops from Baoying, which greatly strengthens Huaiyin's defense.

However, the troops that were withdrawn from the front line had fought bloody battles with the devils and urgently needed rest and recuperation, so the outer line of defense was currently in charge of the "Patriotic Battalion" of Major Battalion Commander Zheng Gang.

The "Patriotic Battalion" was all organized by the previously captured puppet troops. After training, it has now become an anti-Japanese team.

It's just that they have been in charge of guarding Huaiyin in the rear, unlike the rest of the battalion who have been fighting against the devils, so their combat effectiveness is open to question, but they are still competent for general defense tasks.

The news of the devil's attack has spread all over the sky, and the troops guarding the front line have also been strengthened for this reason.

Previously, there was only one squad guarding the outer front-line security position, but now it has increased to the strength of a platoon.

Once there is any disturbance, they will be able to warn the second defense position in time.

In a trench, two guerrilla sentries walked one after the other. They belonged to mobile sentries and patrolled back and forth along a fixed route.

"Take a break and have a cigarette."

Everyone fell into a deep sleep, and the surroundings were quiet. Two sentries walked to a leeward trench, and the leading sentry stopped, preparing to be lazy for a while.

The other sentinel was much more timid. He glanced at the sentinel standing guard with his back to them in the distance and said, "There won't be an officer patrolling?"

The military discipline of the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps is still very strict. Once the military discipline is violated during the execution of the mission, it will be punished by the military law at the inspector's office, ranging from confinement to solitary baton.

"Don't worry, the officer is asleep, just smoke a cigarette to warm up, it's fine." Another sentry took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put one in his mouth, and lit it with a match. up.

"Give me one." Another sentry sat down against the trench with a gun in his hand, looking at the smoking sentry eagerly.

"Here—" the sentry was generous, he threw one of the sticks over, and said with a smile, "This is a serious Hadman, I got it from the black market."

In such war years, due to the blockade of the little devils, the supplies in the guerrilla zone were in short supply. Although the frontline troops were able to capture some good things from the devils, for them, the garrison troops who stayed behind, life was much more difficult.

Fortunately, they all have military pay, and they can still buy some favorite things through the black market, such as Hardman's cigarettes.

"It smells really good." The brother lit up the cigarette and took a deep puff, his face full of intoxication.

"Enjoy it now if you can. Who knows when the hundred catties of meat will be left behind." Seeing the brother smoking intoxicatedly, the brother who smoked said with some melancholy.

"You're so nice, why do you suddenly say such frustrating words." The sentinel leaning against the trench asked inexplicably.

"I'm afraid our days of peace will not last long. I heard that the little devil has already laid down a treasure. I guess the next target is our Huaiyin." Said the dejected sentinel.

"Who did you hear that from?" The sentinel leaning against the trench asked hurriedly after being taken aback for a moment.

After all, a large number of refugees and scarred troops have withdrawn in the past few days, and he is also very disturbed.

Once the little devil really hits Huaiyin, then the good times will really come to an end. Thinking of the gunfire and blood flowing into rivers, this brother can't help but feel palpitations.

"Who needs to say that? It's obvious that the little devil is going all the way north this time, and he is targeting us."

"Our Subei Corps is strong and strong, even if the little devil comes, we won't be afraid." The sentry leaning on the trench comforted himself.

"Both Jieshou and Baoying are lost, I think Huaiyin is also hanging." The sentinel shook his head after taking a deep puff of his cigarette.

"Isn't it that the little devil hasn't called yet? Even if he did, I don't think the little devil will be able to please him with Officer Yang around." The sentinel leaning against the trench seemed very optimistic, full of confidence in Yang Ling.

"Then maybe, our Huaiyin is so close to Baoying, the devils will arrive in no time, and we may call at any time."

"Damn, don't say such frustrating words, let the officer listen to you, and you will be convicted of disturbing the morale of the army. No one can save you..." The sentinel leaning on the trench reminded kindly.

"Shh-"

The sentry leaning against the trench hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly saw the sentry sitting across from him and made a shush gesture to him.

"What's wrong?" the sentinel asked puzzled.

"Shut up, devil!"

The sentry hurriedly pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the soil, wrapped his hand around the mouth of the speaking sentry, and pointed his mouth in the distance.

The brother turned his head and saw that two men in steel helmets were covering the mouth of their sentry standing in the distance, and then stabbing them with bayonets.

When they saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fright. Who knew that the devil would touch it as soon as they said it.

"Go, go quickly."

The sentinel who found the devil saw more than a dozen devils with bayonets in their hands jumping into the trench on the left, and dragged the brother along the traffic trench to climb back in a hurry.

The sudden change made the two sentries startled and flustered. They almost scrambled and ran back to their sleeping place.

"Get up, get up, the devil is coming."

After they rushed into the sleeping bunker, they slapped the sleeping brothers awake one by one with panicked faces.

The crisp gunshots broke the darkness before dawn, and countless light-pulling bullets poured towards the outer positions of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps.

Soon the Devil's 75mm mountain cannon deployed in the distance also roared, and clusters of red light swept across the night sky and hit the guerrilla positions. The scorching flames swept along with the air waves, and the earth trembled vigorously.

The huge movement woke up all the sleeping people in Huaiyin, and many people turned pale in the face of the roar of the ground breaking that day.

"What's going on? What's going on?!"

Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, was startled awake in his sleep. He saw the brightly lit sky outside through the window, his complexion changed, and he hurriedly threw off the quilt and went straight to the door, not even having time to put on his shoes.

A few guards on duty at night also looked at the sky south of the city in panic, at a loss for what to do when the ballistic trajectory was pulled away.

"Sir, it seems that the south of the city is firing artillery." A guard saw Zhang Liechen running out of the house barefoot, and reported after reacting.

"I know it's the southern position of the city, so I asked who is fighting?!" Vice-captain Zhang Liechen was also impatient.

The guards all looked flustered, they couldn't answer for a while.

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly call the field outside the city and ask what's going on, who fired the cannon!" Seeing where the guards were stunned, Zhang Liechen stomped his feet angrily.
