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

The old smoker also heard the concern in Yang Ling's words. He didn't expect him to hold so much weight in Yang Ling's heart, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, the regimental deputy, I want to live for two more years with this old bone. Just don't go next time."

Seeing that the old smoker directly admitted his mistake, Yang Ling did not pursue it.

Old Smoker and the others got back two grenade launchers and three boxes of grenades. For Yang Ling and the others who lacked heavy firepower, it was a timely help.

"Find two brothers who will be able to use it at critical times." Old Smoker ordered the platoon leader guarding the hill.

"Yes!"

The platoon leader who got the grenadier immediately beamed with joy. There were only two Czech light machine guns in their platoon, which greatly enhanced the firepower of their platoon.

"Don't bombard me, kid, pay attention to supporting the friendly army when the time comes." Old Smoker saw the platoon leader who was excitedly grabbing the grenade, and did not forget to remind him.

"Don't worry, the deputy battalion commander, we promise not to waste it, and blast all the devils!"

When Yang Ling saw that Old Smoker had returned safely, he was relieved, and told him to pay attention to guarding against the devil's attack, and went straight to the wounded area in the ravine after he went down the mountain.

The wounded soldiers hid in the woods in the ravine. Before they got close, Yang Ling and the others could smell a strong smell of blood from a distance.

The brothers were so brave on the battlefield that they didn't even frown, but the bloody wounds made them miserable at this moment.

Looking at these blackened and painful faces, Yang Ling's heart also became heavy.

"Regiment deputy... Come here, a brother with a dark red bandage on his head struggled to get up and salute.

"Lie down, lie down." Yang Ling hurried forward and let him lie down on the stretcher again.

Looking at this brother whose body was covered in blood, Yang Ling could imagine how brave he was when facing the little devil.

"Regiment deputy, I killed three little devils..."

"Heal well, we'll continue to kill devils when we're well enough." Yang Ling comforted him by patting him on the shoulder.

Yang Ling stood up, looking at the brothers lying in the woods who were dying of pain, his heart ached.

"Xizi—"

"Yes!" Medical platoon leader Xizi hurried over.

Yang Ling pointed to the wounded soldiers who were screaming in pain and said, "Organize a stretcher team and send the seriously wounded to the division's field hospital at the rear as soon as possible."

"Deputy regiment, we don't have enough manpower, can you transfer some people to help us?" Xizi asked.

In the past, when their troops fought wars, they would organize local civilians to organize stretcher teams to carry the wounded. This time, the troops rushed into the battlefield, and they couldn't handle it with just a medical platoon.

"You know the situation in our battalion. The strength of our troops is stretched, and we really can't get any people out now." Yang Ling was also in a dilemma.

"Mr. Yang, we can help carry the wounded." At this moment, the major of the Sichuan Army, who had two fingers broken by the bullet, came over.

"Why haven't you withdrawn yet?"

After the battle, Yang Ling asked the Major of the Sichuan Army to lead his people to withdraw. After all, they were ordered to withdraw, and they did not expect that they would still stay on the battlefield.

The major of the Sichuan Army replied: "The Minshan position was lost in our hands. If we don't take it back, how can we withdraw?"

"Are you injured?" Yang Ling said while holding the drooping right hand of the Major of the Sichuan Army.

The Major of the Sichuan Army raised his bloody hand and said, "It's just two broken fingers..."

"Xizi, quickly bandage him." Yang Ling told Xizi.

Text 4Chapter 17 Standing firm

Yang Ling's counterattack not only consolidated the crumbling line of defense, but also caused heavy losses to the Japanese army's Mori army.

The Ninth Division of the Mori Team is a veteran division that has participated in the Songhu Battle twice, and its combat effectiveness is strong.

After they captured Ruichang, which was defended by the Sichuan Army, their brigade, as the vanguard, rushed straight into De'an non-stop, trying to capture De'an in one fell swoop.

As long as De'an is captured and combined with the frontal 106th and 101st Divisions, the Chinese Ninth Army that is fighting on the Nanxun line can be encircled and wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, their combat intentions were noticed by General Xue Yue, the commander of the Chinese First Corps, and immediately ordered the 74th Army to send a regiment to stop them in Minshan.

In less than a day, the Morishi Brigade defeated a main infantry regiment of the 74th Army with heavy casualties. The victory made Mori Shige contemptuous of the Chinese army.

But what he didn't expect was that before they could gain a firm foothold in the Chinese army's position, Yang Ling and the others came to reinforce them, and even dared to fight back, which caught the unprepared Mori Shige by surprise.

Although they finally stabilized their position by relying on the Minshan position, they suffered more than 500 casualties, which was almost traumatic for their brigade.

The disgraced Senzhong was shot with a bullet hole in his arm. Although the bleeding was stopped in time, the pain still made his face twitch slightly.

Holding the binoculars with one hand, Mori Shige saw the blue sky and white sun flag flying high on the opposite mountain, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

"Quickly investigate the number and strength of the Chinese army that just arrived on the battlefield."

Mori Shige was beaten into a mess by Yang Ling and his new force. Although he was very angry now and desperately wanted to fight back to regain his position, he was not reckless.

As a "China hand", Nakasamori, like many military officers, has a lot of research on China.

He still understands the truth that if you know yourself, you don't know your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles. Now that you haven't figured out the opponent's strength, is it wise to launch an attack rashly?

"Telegram your Excellency, the head of the brigade, that our department encountered the main force of the Chinese army in Minshan, and it was difficult to move forward. We hope that the follow-up troops will provide support as soon as possible."

"Order the squadrons to stand firm and closely monitor the Chinese army to prevent sneak attacks by the Chinese army."

"Call the aviation unit to carry out air strikes on the positions of the Chinese Army."

Although Lieutenant Mori Shige was only a brigade commander, he did not lose his footing after encountering setbacks. He quickly judged the situation and issued a series of effective orders.

These commanders like Mori Shige have undergone strict training and have experienced the test of war. Their methods are sophisticated and experienced, which are far from what Chinese military officers of the same level can match.

Because he was afraid of Yang Ling and his army that had just arrived on the battlefield, Mori Shige changed from offense to defense.

Yang Ling and the others thought that the devil would surely come back and launch a crazy counterattack after suffering a major blow, but they waited and waited, but there was no sign of the devil attacking.

"It seems that the little devil is going to be a shrinking turtle."

Through the binoculars, the deputy battalion commander, Old Smoker, looked at the devils rushing to repair the fortifications, looking stubborn, and his mood inexplicably improved.

Although their battalion took advantage of the devil's underestimation of the enemy and caught the opponent by surprise, the devil's strength is not weak.

If the devils are determined to counterattack, even if they can hold the existing line of defense, they will probably lose a lot.

Now they saw that the devils were beaten so hard that they didn't dare to come out. They were happy to see this kind of situation.

"Leave some security observation posts, and the rest retreat to the back to hide and rest."

Seeing that the little devil had no intention of attacking for a while, Yang Ling also breathed a sigh of relief.
