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

Faced with guerrillas strangling from several directions, the devils who had nowhere to go and nowhere to go were quickly wiped out even though they were struggling.

Text Chapter 977 Victory

As the sky dawned, the ambush troops commanded by Wu Changqing basically completed the search and suppression mission for the remnants of the devils who had landed at the Jieshou Wharf. None of the devils who took advantage of the chaos and hid in the reed marshes and fields escaped.

There were scorched black bomb craters all over the vicinity of Jieshou Wharf. The corpses of devil soldiers in yellow padded clothes were lying all over the ground. There were also many devil corpses soaked in the gutter, which was dyed red.

"Report, killed one devil 220, no one escaped, seized eight light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, six grenade launchers, and a motorboat full of various types of ammunition, and seven empty motorboats... …”

When the brothers reported the seized inventory to the commander Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing, who had been tense all the time, was also in high spirits.

"Great victory, the little devil absolutely did not expect our Prophet Weifu to set up an ambush here."

"Let the little devils look down on us again, and if they dare to commit crimes in the future, they will deal with as many as they come!"

"I'm afraid Commander Devil will drop his glass in anger..."

Staff officer Lei Xiong and all the grassroots commanders who participated in commanding the battle were all smiling. They had never fought such an easy battle before.

"Have we counted our casualties?"

"Five brothers were killed in battle, and more than 20 were wounded by stray bullets." The brother who reported said with a sad face.

Commander Wu Changqing has long been used to seeing life and death on the battlefield. Every battle is life and death. Compared with the previous ones, the casualties this time are very small, and the exchange ratio with devils is also unprecedented.

"The brothers who died in battle gathered up and transported back, and found a good place to be buried properly, and the injured brothers were sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

"At the same time, quickly report the news of the annihilation of the devils to Commander Yang."

"Yes!"

The devil wanted to come from Gaoyou Lake to attack Jieshou Town at night, but was ambushed by the guerrillas in advance and wiped out. It must be said that the devil's luck was too bad.

The gunshots from the pier at night made the people gathered in Jieshou Town terrified, and they couldn't fall asleep all night.

Fortunately, the gunshots kept ringing near the pier, and it did not affect Jieshou Town. Because Yang Ling had sent people to appease the people early on, there was no confusion.

"Great victory! Great victory! The brothers in the corps wiped out the invading enemies last night and killed more than 200 devils!"

When Baojie's brother rode his horse all the way into Jieshou Town to report to Yang Ling, the people along the way could hear him clearly.

"Really? Killed more than 200 devils?"

"I think it's probably bragging. The devil has three heads and six arms and can breathe fire. How can he be killed so easily?"

......

The common people always have a kind of fear of the ferocious and violent devils. Because many people have not gone to school, they fear ghosts and gods, so they are also afraid of the Japanese, so they call them devils.

They were still protesting against the incompetence of the guerrillas and they always retreated. Now, after only one night, the guerrillas eliminated more than 200 devils.

Although it is [-]% sure to set up an ambush in advance, the little devil is also very shrewd. Many times, there are many examples of heavy losses due to the exposure of the ambush.

Although Yang Ling was injured and did not directly go to the battlefield to command the battle, he stayed up all night, waiting for news from the pier.

When Wu Changqing sent someone to report that all the invading enemies had been wiped out, his hanging heart was finally relieved, and he suddenly felt sleepy.

"report!"

Just when Yang Ling was about to lie down and rest for a while, a brother hurried in from outside.

"Report sir, the devil infantry squadron coming from the south has approached Jieshou. Our battalion commander is leading the brothers in front of us. Let me ask for reinforcements!"

"Damn, the little devil is really uneasy!" A combat staff officer couldn't help cursing.

Although the Guizi Sano detachment took a break after capturing Gaoyou and did not carry out large-scale military operations, they still advanced by land and water and sent two squadrons in an attempt to open up the channel with Baoying.

Now the Devils motorboat troop that landed at Jieshou Wharf at night was completely wiped out, but the Devils squadron coming along the road didn't know it, but advanced according to the original plan, and were fighting the brothers led by the blacksmith.

"Order Commander Shen to take the Third Battalion and the Patriotic Battalion to quickly support the blacksmith, and destroy the invading devil squadron on the spot!"

Now that one squadron of devils has been eliminated, Yang Ling doesn't mind eliminating another one. Besides, Yang Ling and the others are fighting at home and have an advantage in strength, so they don't pay attention to just a squadron.

Although Huaiyin's more than 4000 reorganized local armed forces have not yet reached Jieshou, there are quite a few troops in Yangling's Jieshou now.

In addition to the original First Blacksmith Battalion, Wu Changqing's Second Battalion and Patriotic Battalion, Yang Ling formed a new third Battalion with Shen Biao as the battalion commander and Luo Feng as the deputy battalion commander.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion were the former first-line guerrilla troops who dispersed in Gaoyou. Many of them were veterans, and their combat effectiveness was not weak, but their weapons and equipment were poor.

In addition to these four regular troops directly under the command of the North Jiangsu Corps, there are also hundreds of local militia units reorganized in Jieshou, and they are currently undergoing training.

The militias in these places are private self-protection armed forces of some powerful gentry. Although they are not as effective as the guerrillas, they can still shoot anyway. There is no problem in beating devils coldly.

Since Shen Biao joined Yang Ling's command, he has never had a chance to show off, and the ambush of the devil's landing troops was only a side drum, and he was responsible for searching and suppressing the remnants of the enemy.

More importantly, both Shen Biao and Luo Feng were officers under the command of the former Commander Ma Yuren, and they had not been under Yang Ling's command for long, so Wu Changqing and others did not trust them very much.

When Yang Ling was attacked by traitors, Wu Changqing even sent people under house arrest to prevent Shen Biao and others from leaving the camp.

This made Shen Biao realize that he hadn't really integrated into the Subei Corps and hadn't been accepted yet, so he felt very depressed, and even wanted to just leave.

When Shen Biao received Yang Ling's order to serve as the commander and lead his battalion and patriotic battalion to support the blacksmith who was entangled with the devils, he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Are you sure that Commander Yang asked me to command the troops instead of Battalion Commander Wu commanding the reinforcements?"

Shen Biao now has to be cautious and confirm repeatedly, because sometimes it may be a test, if he takes a wrong step, it will be a disaster.

Just like when the 57th Division was incorporated into the 74th Army for the first time, every time the telegram ordered the division commander to make several copies, it was just a newcomer, to prevent Shangfeng from accepting his account and becoming a scapegoat after the execution of the order suffered losses.

"This is an order signed by Chief Yang, and it's still stamped with a red seal." The orderly also pointed at the order document helplessly.

After Shen Biao confirmed again and again that he was correct, he showed joy on his face: "Go back and tell Commander Yang, I, Shen Biao, will never let the little devil run away!"

Before Shen Biao waited for the orderer to leave, he grabbed his armed belt and rushed out: "Assemble! All assemble!"

Text Chapter 978 Recruiting Civilian Husbands

"To organize the people to go to the pier to see the devil's corpse, we must break the people's fear of the devil..."

Yang Ling wasn't worried about the devils committing crimes along the highway to the north. After all, it was just a squadron with two experienced commanders, Blacksmith and Shen Biao.

But what Yang Ling needs to do now is to recruit enough people from the people who have withdrawn to the north to set up the battlefield. The devil has suffered such a big loss, and with the devil's character of vengeance, he will definitely retaliate crazily.

The reason why the little devils didn't act now was either because of insufficient intelligence, or because the logistics supplies were not in place. Once they were ready, the devils would definitely attack crazily.

Therefore, Yang Ling and the others had to grasp the initiative of the situation before the devils launched a fierce attack on Subei, preset the battlefield in advance, and stick the devils to the preset battlefield to fight, their chances of winning were much greater.

Once the little devils are allowed to break through their blocking line and enter Huaiyin, the good business situation will be completely lost. If they lose Huaiyin, they will also lose their foothold.
