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

"Yes, yes..." The guard rushed to the next room in a panic to make a phone call.

The deputy captain Zhang Liechen looked up at the red sky in the south, his face was full of solemnity, listening to the movement, it should not be the artillery positions they set up outside the city that were firing, the movement was too loud.

Huaiyin is the rear of the northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps, where all the factories and institutions are located, so there is a small artillery position with three infantry guns outside the city.

There is also an anti-aircraft machine gun position outside the east gate of the city for air defense. In addition, there are several infantry positions, and the defense can be said to be watertight.

And since the devils hit Baoying, Huaiyin's defense can be said to have been greatly enhanced.

"Sir, you have no shoes on."

When the deputy captain Zhang Liechen was watching the roaring explosions in the south of the city, and was waiting for news of the phone call, a guard looked at Zhang Liechen's bare feet and reminded him.

After such a reminder, Zhang Liechen realized that he was standing on the ground with bare feet, and felt the coldness soaking into the soles of his feet.

"Hurry up and call to inform the battalions to prepare for battle. The battalion commanders of the battalions will gather at the headquarters."

Although the place where the artillery was fired was still several miles away from Huaiyin, which was in the direction of the outlying positions, Zhang Liechen also knew that the situation was not good, so he told the guards.

"Yes!" The guard responded and hurriedly called, and Zhang Liechen hurried back to the house to get dressed.

"Sir, I got through to the first defense. They said that the outpost had encountered a sudden attack, and the devils had called." Soon, the guard who made the call also clarified the situation outside the city.

"Do you know how many devils have come?" Zhang Liechen asked when he heard that the devils were calling, his heart sank.

The guard replied: "It's too dark to see how many devils there are. Now they have broken through the outpost and are bombarding the first defense."

"Damn, tell the first defense troops to stand firm for me, the reinforcements will arrive soon!" Zhang Liechen ordered the guards.

"Yes!" The guard hastily called again.

Surrounded by several guards, Zhang Liechen strode out of the house and went straight to the command post on the street.

The headquarters in Huaiyin City was set up in a rich man's yard. When the deputy captain Zhang Liechen arrived here, some disheveled officers and staff officers were rushing towards here one after another.

"What's going on outside the city?"

Another deputy chief, Yuan Guangtao, was buckling the discipline button while asking a sleepy-eyed staff officer about the situation.

"I just woke up too, I don't know." The staff officer who hadn't woken up was also at a loss.

"It's the devil calling."

At this time, Zhang Liechen, the vice captain who strode into the room, directly answered the question of Yuan Guangtao, the vice captain.

Since Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander, was transferred from the theater headquarters to the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, Zhang Liechen, the original deputy commander, was not in charge of the military, but mainly managed logistics.

This is why Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander, has been fighting with Baoying at Jieshou on the front line, while Zhang Liechen, the other deputy commander, stayed in Huaiyin.

During the period when Zhang Liechen stayed in Huaiyin, he was mainly responsible for the logistics support of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, the manufacture of grenades, the purchase of food, the clothing factory, and the repair shop.

"Isn't the devil in Baoying? Why did he suddenly arrive in Huaiyin?"

After hearing Zhang Liechen's words, Yuan Guangtao's expression changed wildly, and the surrounding officers and staff officers all looked flustered.

Everyone knew how powerful the little devil was, and now they were caught off guard when they heard that the devil appeared in Huaiyin. Everyone was not prepared psychologically, and they seemed a little flustered for a while.

"Staff Wu, what do your intelligence departments do? The little devils are under your noses. Why didn't you get any news?" Soon, the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao sent an angry message to an intelligence staff officer. fire.

"Mr. Yuan, last night our people said that the devil hadn't moved. I don't know why it came suddenly..." The staff officer in charge of intelligence was also at a loss.

"What a bunch of trash! What use are you for!" Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander, mercilessly scolded the staff officer, causing the staff officers of the intelligence department to turn green and turn pale. .

"This group of devils probably didn't come from Baoying. If they had come from Baoying, we would definitely get the news." Liu Sheng, another intelligence staff officer, stood up and explained with a sullen face.

"I don't care where the devil came from. If you didn't discover the devil's change in advance, you are negligent and you are responsible!"

"Okay, okay, the little devils have already hit the door, so let's not get confused first." Seeing the staff officer Liu Sheng wanted to refute, Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, hurriedly tugged on his sleeve and let him Don't say a few words, don't argue with Yuan Guangtao.

The people in the intelligence department were very indignant in the face of the scolding by the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao, but they could only bear it at the moment. Who told them not to notice the devil's change.

"Now the devils have broken through our outpost and are attacking the first defense. Everyone quickly come up with a charter and talk about what to do." Zhang Liechen brought everyone back to their thoughts.

"What else can I do? Tell the troops in the first defense that they must stick to their positions and block the little devils, or else they will come to see you!" Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, said angrily.

Chapter 190 and five of the text Kill those who quit without permission!

"There are only two companies in the Patriotic Battalion in the first defense. The devils are coming in menacingly. I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the devils."

At this moment, the first battalion commander, Blacksmith, cast a blank glance at Yuan Guangtao, and said solemnly, "We should send reinforcements immediately, otherwise we will be passive if our defense is breached again."

"That's right, then I would like to trouble the first battalion of yours to defend the first defense first, so as to buy some time for our rear deployment." Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain, nodded and said.

"Yes!"

Although he knew the task was arduous, Blacksmith, the first battalion commander who had just retreated from Baoying and hadn't rested for a few days, agreed without the slightest hesitation, and immediately prepared to bring reinforcements.

"By the way, the outpost must also be taken back, and if it is not taken back, it will be dealt with by military law!" Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander who was left aside, was very upset when he saw that the blacksmith of the first battalion commander obeyed Zhang Liechen's order, and he said something.

The blacksmith, the first battalion commander, froze in his footsteps and looked at Zhang Liechen.

"Vice Commander Yuan, the little devil's artillery fire is fierce, first defend the first, the outpost is just an early warning, if you lose it, lose it."

Now that he didn't know the situation of the little devil, he would have suffered a lot of casualties if he fought back hastily. Zhang Liechen had also fought in battles, so he naturally knew that now was not the time to act rashly.

"No, Commander Yang is not here now. I am the highest military officer. You don't care if this position is lost. I can't afford to lose that person. Besides, I can't explain to Commander Yang." Yuan Guangtao stubbornly said to the blacksmith: "Execute order."

Zhang Liechen also sighed helplessly, waved to the blacksmith of the first battalion commander, and said, "Go, if you can get it back, grab it, if you can't get it back, we'll talk about it at dawn."

"Yes—" Blacksmith, the first battalion commander, didn't say much, and immediately led a few guards out of the gate of the headquarters.

The blacksmith, the commander of the first battalion, hurried back to their first battalion station in the city, ready to take people outside the city for reinforcements.

"Battalion Commander—" Seeing the battalion commander blacksmith coming back, several company commanders hurriedly surrounded him.

"The devils are coming, you follow me out of the city to reinforce the brothers from the patriotic battalion outside." The blacksmith explained to the company commanders as he walked towards the brothers who had assembled urgently.

"Damn, this time I must give the little devil a good look." Hearing that the devil called, the company commander said angrily.

Not long after their first battalion withdrew from Baoying, they were tricked by the devils while they were in Baoying, and almost capsized in the gutter.

Fortunately, Yang Ling led people to fight Baoying in time, forcing the devil's main force to return to help, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the devil.

The brothers were overwhelmed by the devils, and they were very unwilling to reconcile, and they were furious. Now that they heard that the little devils came, they all wanted to beat the devils to vent their anger.

"The little devil is coming aggressively, let's stabilize our defenses first, and we will talk about everything after dawn."

Although Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, gave him the order to regain the outpost while consolidating the first defense position.
