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

Seeing the chief of staff who hurried into the meeting room, General Xue Yue knew that there might be a new change in the enemy situation, so he turned his eyes to the chief of staff who was walking over quickly, and the meeting was suspended.

The troops of their First Corps deployed their defenses along the Nanxun Line. On the frontier battlefield of Jinguan Bridge, the 106th Division of the Devils was unable to move, with more than 8000 casualties. In the direction of the Dexing Highway, the Big and Small Guling also firmly blocked the Devils. The 101st Division that came across Poyang Lake.

The situation of the 101st Division is not much better than that of the 106th Division on the Nanxun Line. In half a month, it has only advanced less than three kilometers.

The only thing that General Xue Yue is worried about now is the Maruyama Brigade under the 9th Division of the Devils attacking De'an from the northeast. Although the 74th Army was sent to stop the attack in Minshan, the information from the front line shows that the devils are very strong. .

The two sides fought in Minshan for seven days and nights, but they were still inseparable and could not be repelled. General Xue Yue already had the idea of ​​dispatching reinforcements to reinforce Minshan. After all, Minshan was broken through, and the rear of the Nanxun line was in danger.

"Mr. Xue, Ruichang has been conquered by the 74th Army!" The Chief of Staff excitedly handed the message to General Xue Yue under the eager eyes of more than a dozen army commanders.

"What?" General Xue Yue speculated that there might be a new enemy situation at the front, but he never expected it to be such an exciting and good news.

However, he was happy, and General Xue Yue soon became suspicious. Not long ago, he received a telegram from the 74th Army from the front.

But in such a short period of time, the 74th Army single-handedly repelled the powerful Devil 6th Brigade, and even recovered Ruichang, which made him even begin to doubt the authenticity of the information.

The content of the telegram was also very simple, with only a few words. It just stated that Yang Ling, the 74st Regiment of the 301th Army, led his troops to destroy a squadron defending the enemy in Ruichang at [-]:[-] p.m., and regained Ruichang County.

"Who sent the telegram?" General Xue Yue looked up at the unclear telegram and asked.

The chief of staff replied: "I just received a plain code telegram, and I am also very puzzled. It stands to reason that this is against the rules..."

"Could it be false information from the devil?" Someone asked.

After all, in addition to fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield, it is also a frequent occurrence for devils to pass false information to confuse Chinese commanders.

Just as they were wondering about the authenticity of the telegram, another communications staff member hurried over and sent a telegram.

"Sir, the 74th Army has called back to confirm that they have indeed dispatched deputy commander Yang Ling to lead people to sneak into the rear of the devils, and now the 6th Brigade has retreated from the entire line of Minshan Mountain, and they are pursuing them with all their strength!" The communication staff officer was excited. said.

"Then it seems that the fact that Ruichang was brought back by Yang Ling is true." General Xue Yue looked at the telegram in his hand with a rare smile on his face.

The chief of staff also became excited: "It must be true, otherwise the devils fought well in Minshan, how could they suddenly evacuate, there must be a problem in the rear, and they had to evacuate."

"This Yang Ling is really not simple. What did he do to force the entire brigade to retreat? You must know that the 74th Army has been fighting for so many days and can't handle devils."

The conference room was buzzing, and the generals were whispering to each other, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.

"No matter what he did, regaining Ruichang was a great achievement. Since we started the war with the little devils, there has never been a precedent for recovering an occupied area."

Hearing someone say that, the atmosphere in the conference room became even more enthusiastic. Their troops lost in a row and lost most of China.

Not to mention their loss of soldiers and generals, they have not been understood by the people. Instead, they call them useless, saying that they are a sand army, and they will collapse at the first touch.

Now that Yang Ling led the recovery of Ruichang County, although he was doomed to be unable to hold it under the pressure of powerful enemies, the significance was significant. Those who could sit in the meeting room were not fools, so they naturally knew what it meant.

General Xue Yue's face was also full of smiles. Although the First Corps he commanded blocked the devils at the Nanxun Line, it was a passive defense. Now, the surprise Yang Ling gave him really surprised him.

"Report victory to the Military Commission, and say that the 74th Army of our First Corps has recovered Ruichang." General Xue Yue naturally would not let go of this opportunity to publicize the troops.

"At the same time, send a telegram to the Central News Agency and major newspapers to tell the good news to [-] people from all over the country."

Although they all knew that the recovery of Ruichang County would be short-lived, and that they might be captured by devils again soon, the strategic significance of the army's recovery of a county this time was of great importance.

This will greatly boost the currently sluggish confidence in the Anti-Japanese War in the country, and let them see that the army is still fighting bloody battles. They hope to defeat the little devils.

Body 5 Chapter [-] The Price of Landscape

"The 74th Army is really amazing. It took Ruichang County back from the hands of the devils."

The news that the 74th Army had regained Ruichang County spread quickly, and the entire headquarters of the First Corps was filled with excitement.

Since their First Corps stopped the devils on the Nanxun line, although they were able to stop the devils' fierce attack, they paid a heavy price for it. Hundreds of wounded were sent back from the front line every day.

Whenever they saw the wounded who were bloody and wailing in pain, they still had a little bit of joy in blocking the devil's attack.

And now recovering Ruichang County is like a huge surprise in this sweltering weather, sweeping away the haze in people's hearts and making them sincerely happy.

"I heard that Deputy Head Yang, who led the team, won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal." Various rumors about Yang Ling were also spread wildly.

After all, he led his troops to capture Ruichang County. Now the news has spread, and the whole country is excited. With such a great contribution, it is a certainty that he will become a success. Even if he wants to keep a low profile now, he can't do it.

"No wonder he is so powerful, he has won the Blue Sky and White Sun Emblem Medal."

Hearing that Yang Ling had won the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, the people around couldn't help but lamented that good luck made people fool.

"Yang Ling's luck is really good. How come I'm not as lucky as him to get the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal."

"You don't even piss to see what virtue you have, and you want the Blue Sky and White Sun Order." Someone looked at the person who spoke contemptuously.

"Why can't I die?" The person who was told was full of dissatisfaction.

"If you have the ability, try to kill a devil general? The He Tianyuan who was slaughtered by Jiangyin last year knows that Yang Ling killed him."

After being reminded like this, everyone suddenly realized, but thinking that they were defeated in the late stage of the Songhu Battle last year, and it was too late to escape, how could they even think about being General Devil, and they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Slaying a ghost general is supposed to be promoted to three ranks, why is he given a medal?" Some people also questioned.

"I heard that the devil blocked the news and refused to admit it. This cannot be verified..."

"This little devil is really shameless." Someone cursed.

Someone immediately asked back: "Since when have you ever seen a devil make a fool of yourself?"

"That's true."

The news that Yang Ling and the others had regained Ruichang made the entire First Corps happy like a festival.

General Xue Yue sent a telegram to the 74th Army as soon as possible, giving them a verbal commendation, asking them to make persistent efforts and strive to wipe out the retreating 6th Devil Brigade.

Of course, Yang Ling and his heroic troops sneaking into the enemy's rear naturally cannot be left behind. The Corps headquarters sent orders to Yang Ling and the others through their own channel, that is to defend Ruichang, block the retreating 6th brigade, and cooperate with the main force to destroy them. .

Although Yang Ling and the others didn't want to let the troops of the 6th Brigade of the Devils retreat like this, they planned to ambush them on the way to retreat, and they wanted to eat a piece of their flesh anyway, but they didn't expect to accept a more difficult task.

"Deputy Commander Yang, this is an order directly from the Corps Headquarters to block the retreating Masao Maruyama 6th Brigade no matter how much you pay."

A middle-aged man dressed as a farmer found Yang Ling and the others so abruptly, claiming to be a member of the Bureau of Statistics and Investigation lurking behind the enemy's rear, and conveyed an order from the First Corps.

Wang Huzi and the others repeatedly looked at the middle-aged man's identification documents to confirm that he was not an enemy, but the order to desperately block the 6th Brigade made them embarrassed.

According to Yang Ling, their strength was not strong, and taking advantage of the defeat of the Devil's 6th Brigade, they could eat one or two pieces of meat, so there was no need to die.

But this sudden order from the Corps Headquarters pushed them into a corner without giving them any way out.

"Brother Zhou, you have a radio station, can you please contact the commanders of the Corps and explain the situation of our troops, we are accommodating, we only have a few hundred people, even if we run out, we can't stop the 6th Brigade."

Wang Huzi didn't want to die, he wanted the Corps Command to take back the order that almost made them die.
