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

If the situation is allowed to continue like this, then their Sulu Guerrilla Corps will not only lose their status, but he, the number two figure, may also suffer.

Text Chapter 23 The Butterfly Effect

This time, Yang Ling's Subei Corps had a big hit this time. They managed to annihilate a brigade of the devils by themselves, which really made everyone look at this rising new force with admiration.

With the strong rise of the Northern Subei Guerrilla Corps, the most unhappy people are the senior generals of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, because they used to be the dominant family, but now there is a Subei Corps.

Although it is said that the bigger and more the anti-Japanese team is, the better, but they are not happy at all, because the Subei team is too good at fighting.

The northern Jiangsu corps led by Yang Ling first recovered Huaiyin, and then went south to Gaoyou to beat the devils into disgrace. It also seems that their Sulu Guerrilla Corps is incompetent, and even the theater command is now extremely dissatisfied with their Sulu Guerrilla Corps.

In fact, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps is not monolithic. The commander-in-chief Li Mingyang led his troops to operate near Taizhou, while the deputy commander-in-chief Li Changjiang was active near Gaoyou, Dongtai.

So after seeing Yang Ling and the others win a battle, Li Changjiang of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps couldn't sit still anymore. If this continues, what status will their Sulu Guerrilla Corps have in the future.

So after thinking about it, he finally felt that they couldn't hide all the time, they had to fight a good fight and take the initiative to attack, so that they wouldn't be too passive when the time came.

Moreover, Han Li, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, said in his report that the devils who came from the south this time were not a powerful combat force, and most of them were composed of supplementary soldiers.

The report of the reconnaissance battalion commander Han Li finally solved the doubts of Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps. No wonder the Subei Corps was able to wipe out a brigade of devils.

"Mr. Li, although there are many devils in Gaoyou, they are supplementary soldiers. Why don't we go back?"

The senior generals of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps now saw that the Subei Corps had won the battle, and while they were jealous, they were also unwilling.

Gaoyou was recovered in their name before, but when they saw the devils coming from the south of Shao Bo to suppress them, they were so frightened that they gave up Gaoyou on their own initiative.

In order to worry about the pursuit of the devil soldiers, the remaining troops were finally folded in Gaoyou. If they had known that the soldiers coming from the south were all devils' supplementary soldiers, why would they run so hard and concentrate their forces on Gaoyou with the devils? beat.

If they had fought the devils in Gaoyou at that time, maybe it would have been a great victory in Gaoyou, not a great victory in Jieshou now, so they all regretted it.

The subordinate's proposal made Li Changjiang, the deputy commander-in-chief who had always been unwilling, to become more active. If they really regained Gaoyou again, then their Sulu Guerrilla Corps would also be able to shine again.

"Mr. Li, the strength of the devil soldiers is not as strong as imagined. The Yang man can wipe out a whole group of devils with just a few recruits. We have four guerrilla regiments. It is really impossible to ask the commander in chief to reinforce them. Then It’s just eight guerrilla groups, even if they pinch it, they will kill the little devil!”

These senior officers of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, who had been chased by the devils and fled in embarrassment, are also eager to try at this moment.

After all, seeing that Yang Ling and the others were able to win the battle, they had no reason to lose the battle because they were stronger. Yang Ling's victory also affected the fighting mood of the friendly troops, and they felt contempt for the devils.

"Sir, let's fight. We can't be suppressed by the guys from the newly established Subei Corps. If things go on like this, we won't have the right to speak in the Sulu theater."

Everyone wants face. They are old-fashioned guerrilla troops. Now that the newly established Subei Corps has been winning battles, they are also anxious and lose face.

"Mr. Li, our regiment is willing to take the lead!"

"Officer Li, let's fight. If you wipe out a detachment of devils, it will be a great achievement."

"The opportunity must not be missed. If the combat effectiveness of these devil's supplementary soldiers grows, we will have no chance if we want to fight again."

"Let's fight, we can't be overwhelmed by the Subei Corps!"

The senior staff officers and regimental leaders all started to shout, fighting with high spirits. After thinking for a few minutes, the deputy commander-in-chief, Li Changjiang, finally decided to attack.

"Then attack Gaoyou again!" Deputy Commander Li Changjiang slammed his fist on the table, making up his mind firmly.

Seeing the deputy commander Li Changjiang's statement, these officers were all elated. Now the devils are supplementary soldiers and their strength is weak, but they have kept their strength and have not fought against the devils. They are strong and strong, and they have full confidence in this battle.

"Listen to me. This battle is not only related to whether Gaoyou can be captured, but also related to the status of my Sulu Guerrilla Corps in the entire theater in the future. Don't hide it from me and put the bottom of the box. Use all the moves for me, do you understand?!"

"understand!"

The officers are all high-spirited, and the victory of Jieshou made them feel that the devils are just like that, and their fear is much less

Now that he has decided to fight, he will fight a big one. The deputy commander Li Changjiang is also a man of courage, so he decided to put all his eggs in one basket and fight Gaoyou again.

One is that the devils have just lost a brigade in Jieshou and their strength has been weakened, and the other is that the devils are all supplementary soldiers and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

The supplies in all theaters are very scarce now, and the supplements are for some troops that can fight. As for the miscellaneous weapons, they can only pick up some that fall out of other people's mouths.

If the Sulu Guerrilla Corps can't win a good battle and show it to the theater command, then the supply quota will definitely decrease in the future. On the contrary, there will be more Subei Corps that can fight. This is what Li Changjiang doesn't want to see.

Soon, the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, which had been playing hide-and-seek with the devils in the countryside, issued an order to assemble, and the scattered troops immediately gathered together and went straight to Gaoyou in a mighty way, trying to beat Gaoyou down again.

When the Sulu Guerrilla Corps was preparing to attack Gaoyou again under the influence of Jieshou's victory.

The Central Independent Sixth Brigade, the 33rd Division, and the 117th Division were also on the move. Instead of attacking the city, they sent a large number of raiding troops to attack the strongholds and garrisons of the Japanese and puppet troops everywhere. To express our position, it is not only the Subei Corps that is fighting, they are also fighting.

Jieshou's victory exposed the devil's strength, and the Chinese troops who had been standing still showed their fangs one after another, and began to attack the devil on their own initiative, which the little devil did not expect.

Overnight, the flames of war that had paused after the winter offensive flared up again in the Sulu war zone. From Taizhou in the south to Lianyungang in the north, the sound of artillery boomed and the battle became a mess.

"Report, Tai County has encountered a strong attack from the Chinese army, please support!"

"The Takahashi Brigade was attacked by the main force of the Chinese Army, and it is now fighting fiercely."

"The 67th Battalion encountered a large group of Chinese guerrillas in the area west of Yancheng, and the roads have been damaged and it is difficult to pass."

……

When the devil's new detachment leader, Hisashi Watanabe, was still on his way to Gaoyou, he received an urgent telegram from the front line.

The large-scale military operations of the Chinese army are like giving him a blow, and what awaits him will be a headache to clean up.

Text Chapter 24 Battle Damage

The troops in the Sulu Theater had been fighting in a calm manner throughout the winter offensive. In other theaters, either the devils were fighting their heads, or they regained lost ground. That was a success story.

It's a pity that although the troops in the Sulu war zone were also ordered to fight, they spent almost three days fishing and two days drying their nets. They often fought with devils for one day, and spent the other two days wrangling with the war zone for supplies.

Their main purpose of fighting is still to take the opportunity to get more weapons, ammunition and supplies from the theater, because the fighting conditions behind the enemy are difficult, and they have to be careful.

If it is true that the troops are wiped out, then what will be used to guard the territory that was finally won in the enemy-occupied area, and the city that cannot be defeated by the devils will be reprimanded at most, but once one's own territory is lost, it is a big sin It's time to get shot.

Therefore, the commanders of each army also understand the importance, so they don't use all their strength to fight the devils, and they don't do business that suffers.

Although they didn't fight the devils with all their strength, they shouted fiercely in the telegram asking for supplies and ammunition, exaggerating the intensity of the battle and the damage of the battle.

Many troops even took advantage of the large-scale military operations of the winter offensive to engage in the arms reselling business.

When they reported the damage to the weapon to the chief, they could say three points for the loss of a gun, and then asked for supplies, otherwise they would not be able to fight.

Now the troops in the occupied area are not in the same place, and it is impossible for the officers to take risks and waste time to check the real situation on the spot, so they can only replenish ammunition according to the battle damage of the troops below.

In fact, the battle damage of each unit is exaggerated. When the weapons and ammunition above are replenished, the excess guns and ammunition can be resold to those local gangs and some gentry.

In order to sell the guns at a good price, the leaders of many troops even sell some good guns, and reserve the bad guns for the troops.

If when you come down to check, you see that the weapons and equipment used by the troops are too bad, maybe you can take the opportunity to complain and replenish them again.
