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

"Kill—kill—"

More than 30 guerrilla brothers with red eyes roared and rushed out of the hiding place one after another, and rushed towards the yard where the devil was hiding.

Body 8 Chapter [-] Restoring Order

The sun flag hanging on the roof of the Qinghe Township Office was torn into rags and fell to the ground with the wind. A blue sky and white sun flag was raised along the flagpole, and the cold wind howled and fluttered.

"salute!"

Dozens of guerrilla officers and soldiers with dirty and torn military uniforms looked as hard as iron, stood at attention, and raised their hands in front of the hula-la flag fluttering in the wind, throwing a standard military salute.

In just a few months, they wiped out the devils in Qinghe Town and recovered Qinghe Town. They will not forget those brothers who shed blood and died for the recovery of Qinghe Town.

A group of pseudo-policemen with drooping heads and ashen faces walked out with their heads in their hands under the cold eyes of the brothers with guns.

The devils are the backers of these pseudo-policemen. Now that the backers have been wiped out by the guerrillas, they have become rats crossing the street.

Yang Ling led the guerrilla command staff into the town hall, looked up and saw the blue sky and white sun flag whistling against the wind, and after a short pause, he stepped into the house.

The guerrillas did not encounter fierce resistance in the town hall. These pseudo-policemen knew that they were not the opponents of the guerrillas, so when they saw the devils being wiped out, they threw away their guns and surrendered, so the town hall was basically intact.

In the past, when Zhang Liechen was in charge of the guerrillas, he was merciless towards puppet soldiers, puppet policemen, traitors, etc. He would kill every one he saw, and his methods were ruthless.

Such an approach led to serious consequences, so that the puppet army and the puppet police all followed the devils and the guerrillas with all their hearts and minds, because they knew that once they fell into the hands of the guerrillas, there would be absolutely no good end.

Yang Ling changed his policy of killing, but chose to treat them differently. Those who followed the devils in doing evil would naturally be severely punished and dealt with by shooting.

But for those who were forced to be puppet soldiers and puppet policemen to support their families, Yang Ling focused on warning and education, instilling patriotism in them, making them realize their mistakes, and turning their guns to fight devils.

Now many brothers in the third guerrilla detachment had been puppet soldiers, and after being captured by the guerrillas, after some education, they became brave guerrillas.

Because of the lessons learned from the past, now those puppet soldiers and puppet police are no longer fighting to the death with the guerrillas. Seeing that the general situation is over, they raised their hands and surrendered one after another.

"Quickly put up the Anmin Notice, restore order in Qinghe Town, and announce to the townspeople that our guerrillas have recovered Qinghe Town."

"Call the squires in the town to come over for a meeting and set up a temporary management committee."

"Send a company of brothers to be responsible for the security patrols in the town, and severely crack down on the hooligans who take advantage of the chaos to rob the townspeople."

"Send someone to take care of the warehouse ammunition that receives the devils and puppet troops. Without my order, no one is allowed to carry it without permission."

"Send people to arrest the main personnel of the maintenance committee of Qinghe Town, and hold them pending trial."

"Send two companies to guard against the direction of Huaiyin County to prevent reinforcements from the devils. At the same time, send someone to contact the officer of the Ninth Guerrilla Column, and report that our troops have successfully recovered Qinghe Town. After resting, we will immediately attack the direction of the county."

......

Yang Ling set up his temporary headquarters in the compound of the town office in Qinghe Town, and issued a series of stability maintenance orders before sitting down.

The staff officers of the detachment headquarters also quickly got busy. Groups of stately guerrilla officers and soldiers marched onto the streets, and the post-war order in Qinghe Town soon settled down.

The villagers of Qinghe Town hid in their homes in fear. Whenever there was a war, they were extremely worried, because it meant that their lives and property would not be guaranteed.

Because war will lead to chaos, those soldiers and local hooligans will take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble and rob money.

But this time, Yang Ling and the others blocked the devil soldiers in the camp and wiped them out. They acted very quickly. When many people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob shops and break into houses to rob money, the guerrilla soldiers had already taken to the streets.

Yang Ling and the others were ruthless against these gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to loot their property. If they fired warning shots and refused to listen, they would be shot on the spot.

Many gangsters and thugs wanted to run away after robbing property, but when faced with armed guerrilla officers and soldiers, how could their legs run past the bullets, they fell into a pool of blood after a burst of gunfire.

Yang Ling's iron and blood skills quickly restored the order in Qinghe Town. Except for a few residents who were surprised by the looting, there was no large-scale looting incident.

The officers and soldiers of the guerrillas were bound by strict military discipline on weekdays, and the guard platoon directly under Yang Ling was still patrolling, so they all behaved themselves and did not dare to mess around.

The third guerrilla detachment regained Qinghe Town, restored order, took over the house, set up security, contacted friendly troops... all kinds of things are complicated, and the staff members are busy coming in and out.

While Yang Ling was listening to the report on the restoration of order, the staff officer Lei Xiong walked into the room from outside.

"Mr. Yang, the Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing doesn't take you seriously anymore."

Yang Ling looked at the livid-looking staff officer Lei Xiong, and waved his hand to let the other combat staff member do the work first.

"Counselor Lei, what's going on, tell me?"

"A few brothers committed an old problem and wanted to make some money, but Wu Changqing ordered them to be shot without asking for instructions. This is simply not paying attention to us or you... ..." Lei Xiong said indignantly.

"These brothers are all old brothers who follow me. Every time they beat devils, they rush to the front. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. If you make a mistake, just correct it. Wu Changqing is too cold-blooded and ruthless. If he disagrees with him, he will be ordered to be shot. , from now on, brothers, who is willing to rush to the front..."

After Yang Ling heard Lei Xiong's words, he also understood the ins and outs of the matter in his heart. After he pondered, he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, I know about it."

Lei Xiong was originally the battalion commander, but after Yang Ling arrived at the third guerrilla detachment, in order to gain control over the troops, he raised them to the position of staff officers.

Now that the battalion-level troops have been restored, Lei Xiong is very enthusiastic and wants to lead the troops, but unexpectedly, Yang Ling promoted a few young people, and he is still a staff officer without authority, feeling uncomfortable.

This time a few of his old brothers made a mistake, and he happened to act with the Second Battalion, and when he heard that Wu Changqing, the commander of the Second Battalion, wanted to shoot them, he pleaded for mercy.

Who knew that Wu Changqing refuted his face, which made him very dissatisfied, so he ran back and complained to Yang Ling,

But who knew that after he chattered for a long time, Yang Ling didn't respond, which made him even more uncomfortable.

"Mr. Yang, this matter can't be left as it is. Wu Changqing's killing his own brother will chill the hearts of the brothers." Staff officer Lei Xiong walked a few steps, he really couldn't think about it, and turned his head back.

Yang Ling looked up at Lei Xiong and said, "Then what do you think about this matter?"

Staff officer Lei Xiong said without hesitation: "In my opinion, Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, should be dismissed and investigated to comfort those brothers who died."

Looking at the furious staff officer Lei Xiong, Yang Ling shook his head and said, "Commander Lei, then may I ask you which military regulation and discipline did Battalion Commander Wu violate?"

After thinking for a while, Staff Officer Lei Xiong shook his head, but he still said unwillingly, "But he went too far by ordering the execution of several erring brothers without authorization."

"No, Battalion Commander Wu did nothing wrong. Violations of discipline must be punished. Otherwise, what's the use of military discipline?!" Yang Ling said seriously: "If everyone takes the opportunity to loot the people like those brothers, how can we win over the local people?" How can I gain a foothold if I don’t support you?”

Yang Ling reminded: "Don't forget, we are all given by the people to eat and drink. If we loot and loot the people at will, what is the difference from devils?"

What Yang Ling said made Lei Xiong, the staff officer, speechless. Although he felt uncomfortable, he felt that what Yang Ling said was reasonable.

"But......"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Even a hero who has killed devils can't disregard the military law and bully the people recklessly!" Yang Ling's face became serious, and he spoke loudly.

Staff officer Lei Xiong came aggressively, but finally had to leave in despair.

Looking at the back of Lei Xiong leaving, Yang Ling also shook his head helplessly. The brothers' awareness of military discipline is weak, and it seems that there is a long way to go.

However, he strictly restrained military discipline, and also hoped that this army could survive here, instead of becoming a street mouse that everyone shouted and beaten.

Many troops stationed in the enemy's rear are due to a weak sense of military discipline and not paying attention to building a good relationship with the local residents, which leads to everyone's hatred.
