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

"You go to the left, you go to the right, and the rest follow me to investigate!"

Su Er decided to conduct an in-depth investigation of the devil to prevent this from being a trick of the devil to invite the king into the urn.

The brothers in the reconnaissance platoon were divided into three, and they investigated the devil's depth from three directions, and found out two miles forward. Except for the devil's discarded sundries, there was no one there.

"The devil is gone!"

When Su Er reported back the investigation situation, Yang Ling and the others relaxed their tense faces.

When Yang Ling and the others found something abnormal in the devil's position, the rest of the frontline troops also noticed something was wrong after dawn, and sent troops to investigate.

All the divisions got the same situation, the little devils in front of them had been evacuated overnight.

"The devil has withdrawn! The devil has withdrawn!"

The news of the devils' evacuation quickly spread throughout the defense lines like a spring breeze.

Those unkempt brothers climbed out of the trenches and the dark bunker one after another, exposing themselves to the sun, cheering loudly, laughing and dancing.

Although this was not a victory, the evacuation of the devils finally put an end to their fearful days, and they could sleep soundly and eat a hot meal.

The silent withdrawal of the devils not only did not relax the Wushimen defense officers, but raised their vigilance.

"Quickly dispatch a reconnaissance team to find out the devil's movements!"

The brothers hugged and cheered outside, the cheers were deafening, but inside the military command post, Commander Yu looked serious.

Soon, the scouting cavalry came out and made a quick scouting in the direction of Mahuiling. At noon, the scouting troops reported that the devils had withdrawn to the Mahuiling area to build fortifications.

The devils voluntarily retreated to the Mahuiling area, and occupied the commanding heights and previous fortifications. Whether to pursue them became a question before the officers.

Fortunately, Commander Xue of the First Corps soon sent an order to all the troops to pay close attention to the movements of the devils, to rest on the spot and stand by, and to prohibit unauthorized attacks.

In fact, the troops had been exhausted after two consecutive battles with the devils at Mahuiling and Wushimen, and they were unable to attack.

The order to rest in place and stand by is to allow the troops to finally take a breather.

The deafening artillery sound was gone. Although the Wushimen line was still filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke, the fighting had stopped. Many tired brothers lay down in the trenches and fell asleep before they evacuated to the camp.

The fighting was temporarily suspended. On the one hand, Yang Ling and the others sent a guard in the direction of Ma Huiling to prevent the little devil from killing the carbine, and on the other hand, they took the time to rest.

The brothers relaxed and began to sweep the battlefield with their guns on their backs. With a heavy heart, they lifted the sacrificed brothers off the battlefield and buried them together.

And Yang Ling and the other officers were also busy. The two battles almost exhausted the ammunition of the troops. They were busy replenishing ammunition and supplies, and the wounded also needed to be evacuated. The entire regiment was busy running around.

A group of nearly 3000 new recruits were added to Yangling's regiment from the rear. Together with the original three battalions and the troops directly under the regiment, the entire regiment had exceeded [-] soldiers, excluding the evacuated wounded.

Compared with those regiments with only about 2000 members, Yang Ling's regiment became a veritable reinforced regiment, and became even stronger.

The previous batch of recruits had been well trained in the battles of Mahuiling and Wushimen, and they had already formed their combat effectiveness.

The brothers who were injured in the Minshan battle also returned to the team one after another. These veterans have become the backbone of the army. Although the army has recruited new recruits, the overall combat effectiveness of the army has not dropped much.

The 74th Army has become a veritable main force, and the number of officers and soldiers of the 51st Division alone has exceeded [-].

As the main force of the direct line, under the care of the Military Commission, the troops not only quickly replenished the loss of ammunition, but also extended the radio equipment from the brigade level to the regiment level. Yang Ling and the others seemed to have become rich local tycoons.

Body 6 Chapter Thirteen The More Ammunition The Better

The troops commanded by Matsuura Junrokuro retreated to the Mahuiling area to rest and recuperate. Although they had a bloody head bump at Wushimen, they were not injured and their strength was still there.

The Chinese army on the front line of Wushimen had already suffered heavy losses in two consecutive bloody battles, and they were busy repairing ammunition and soldiers licking their wounds, and did not take the initiative to provoke the devils.

Although the Ruiwu Road in the north and the Nanxun Line in the south were darkened and blood flowed like rivers, but on the Wushimen Line, the Chinese and Japanese troops tacitly agreed not to violate the river water, and no one took the initiative to provoke the other side.

The devil's aviation unit went to support the other two battlefields, making it rare for the Chinese defenders in Wushimen to be clean for a few days.

Although the devils had no plans to attack for the time being, the Chinese army defending the front line of Wushimen did not dare to be careless.

Whether it is the chiefs of the various armies or the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, they all know in their hearts that with the devil's character of vengeance, he will never retreat so willingly.

Although the battlefield is quiet now, there is an undercurrent surging under the tranquility. A violent storm is brewing. When the little devil is finished resting and the ammunition is fully replenished, then even more brutal battles will come as scheduled.

The brothers felt uneasy in this calm atmosphere, and the officers also keenly felt the signs before the storm.

After replenishing their weapons, ammunition and soldiers, the troops dispatched countless scout troops to keep a close eye on the devil's movements, and actively started training to prepare for the new battle.

The scorching sun baked the earth, the heat waves in the air were churning, and even the emerald green leaves were drooping and sluggish.

Although the high temperature persists, the enthusiasm of the brothers for training has not diminished. The brothers led by Liu Yidao, Chi Jing, are wearing their upper body, holding big knives, shouting Sha Zhentian, and are practicing sword skills.

"kill!"

Liu Yidao's skin was dark red from the sun, his body was covered with sweat stains, and the bright sword danced vigorously in his hands.

"kill!"

The brothers of the Third Battalion Broadsword Company were all capable and tough. With the roar of tigers in unison, the swords slashed out in unison, with momentum like a rainbow.

Many brothers from other battalions hid in the shade of the trees, watched the murderous Dao Company, and applauded.

In the era when guns dominated the battlefield, this big blade should have withdrawn from the stage of history, but the Chinese army often lacked ammunition, and often a battle required several hand-to-hand fights with little devils.

Although the brethren are also equipped with bayonets, the quality is not good enough and the quantity is small. There are only a few dozen brethren who can have bayonets in a company.

Therefore, many brothers who did not have bayonets either bought them from the black market, or found some large knives on their backs from other places, and used them in melee combat.

Liu Yidao was born in the Northwest Army and was good at using broadswords. After returning from injury, he suggested to Yang Ling that the Broadsword Company should be reorganized under his command of the third battalion.

And Liu Yidao personally served as an instructor and conducted special training for the Dao Company, hoping that their training would become a force that would make little devils terrified.

"It's really good. Although the little devils are good at stabbing, I'm afraid I will be willing to bow down when I meet them!"

Surrounded by a group of officers, brigade commander Zhou Zhidao inspected the troops, and when he saw Liu Yidao who was training, he couldn't help but praise him.

Yang Ling, who accompanied Zhou Zhidao on inspection, echoed with a smile: "This Battalion Commander Liu is from the Northwest Army. His sword skills are tricky and vicious. Ordinary people are no match for him."

"Oh? It turned out to be from the Northwest Army. No wonder the swordsmanship looks familiar. I think the 29th Army's Broadsword Team used this sword at the entrance of Xifeng on the Great Wall to shed the blood of little devils. Unfortunately, later... oh, no Say it."

Although the 29th Army killed the devils at the entrance of Xifeng and blood flowed into rivers, it was unable to support it alone. There were no reinforcements or logistical support. As the devils increased their troops, they were defeated in the end.

Thinking of what happened to them, Yang Ling felt aggrieved and panicked, feeling aggrieved for those soldiers who died, but fortunately, all provinces and armies have now united to resist foreign enemies together, and the situation is many times better than before.

"Travel seat! Group seat!"

Seeing Yang Ling and the others coming, Liu Yidao also hurriedly stopped training, trotting over to salute.

Zhou Zhidao returned the military salute, looked up and down at Liu Yidao with a pair of eyes, looked at the scars and bullet holes all over his body, and nodded secretly involuntarily.
