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

In order to strengthen the strength of the Northern Subei Corps, the Theater Command has also spent a lot of money, and it is completely trained as a direct army.

Because in the opinion of General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, Yang Ling was born in the 74th Army of the Central Army, so he was considered a direct descendant of the Military Commission. Now that he has expressed his opinion, the Subei Corps is now a true direct descendant.

Instead of allocating a large amount of weapons and equipment to those local miscellaneous troops who don't listen to the announcement to resell, it is better to allocate Yang Ling and his direct troops to really fight devils.

Yang Ling did not expect that the theater command was so generous this time. When he learned that these weapons and ammunition would be shipped to northern Jiangsu soon, he was filled with happiness.

Since the establishment of their Northern Jiangsu Corps, they have been completely self-reliant. The rifles and bullets are completely captured. The small workshops produced by themselves are not only small in number, but also of poor quality. They suffered from the disadvantage of weapons in the early stage.

Fortunately, the theater command directly allocated so many weapons and ammunition to them, and finally let them become landlords and riches.

Of course, the Theater Command did not unconditionally want to strengthen the Northern Subei Corps. Although this time it was rare to spend a lot of money, it was also worried that it would be in vain.

Therefore, when Yang Ling and his North Subei Corps were allocated a large amount of weapons and equipment to expand their establishment, a group of people were also sent from the theater headquarters to the Subei Corps.

This time, not only a group of civilian officers such as clerks were selected and sent to serve in the Subei Corps this time, but also more than a dozen professional staff officers, two major battalion commanders, and more importantly, a deputy commander.

In this way, the Subei Corps has become a commander, two deputy commanders, a headquarters and five guerrilla battalions.

Although this was somewhat different from what General Zhou Fu and Yang Ling, the directors of the political department, said at the time, they only said that a group of civilian officers would be sent to assist.

But now that the Theater Command has issued an order and made some changes, it is impossible for Yang Ling to refute it. If he really did that, let alone the batch of weapons and equipment that he could not get, I am afraid that the people in the Theater Command might not be able to point it out in the future. When will you wear small shoes for yourself?

However, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, and the Subei Corps was created by himself, and he had established his prestige. It would not be so easy for the few officers who were airborne to gain a firm foothold in the Subei Corps.

"It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing—"

"Everyone, get up and watch the snow!"

As soon as it was dawn, Yang Ling was woken up by the excited noise outside the yard. He heard the shout outside that it was snowing. He got up and put on a thick military overcoat and walked to the window.

With a creaking sound, the window opened, and a gust of bone-soaked cold air poured into the room head-on, making Yang Ling shiver uncontrollably, and hastily tightened his collar.

Looking around, Yang Ling saw that overnight, the entire yard was covered with snow, covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a white snow velvet quilt, which was pure and boundless.

Hearing the shouts from outside, the doors of the side rooms opened one after another, and the staff officers who lived in the same yard as Yang Ling all walked into the yard wrapped in thick clothes.

"What a lot of snow."

Looking at the still falling snowflakes and the vast white land outside the door, although the staff officers were shivering from the cold, they still couldn't restrain their excitement.

"This is good snow, the bigger the better, the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the next year's harvest will definitely not be bad." Staff officer Lei Xiong was also from a farmer's family. Seeing the heavy snow, there was a smile on his face.

"It's a pity, this soldier has been fighting for so many years, and he almost forgot how to take care of the crops." Liu Sheng, the intelligence staff officer, was also full of emotion.

Lei Xiong said with a smile: "I said, Lao Liu, don't sigh, I think this little devil is also a grasshopper after autumn, he will not be able to jump for a few days, when you finish fighting the devil, you can go back The hometown is tending the crops."

"That being said, most of our China is occupied by little devils, and we don't know when this battle will end."

"Hurry up, hurry up, the little devil was so fierce three years ago, and our German weapon masters were hard to resist all the way, but now, the fighting power of the devil is not as good as before, and we can wipe out one of them." The brigade is here, and I also heard that many of our main forces on the frontal battlefield have become Su Machinists, but some little devils will suffer." Another staff officer came over and said.

"That's right, didn't the little devil clamor three years ago that we would destroy China in three months, but now, three years have passed, and the little devil has nothing to do with us."

Compared with the haze that shrouded the country's military and civilians in the early days of the war, as the war continues and the Chinese army is fighting bloody battles, the theory of protracted war has suppressed the theory of subjugation and surrender.

Although it is still unclear when the little devils will be driven out of China to end the war, the Chinese military and civilians have adapted to the war and are no longer as pessimistic and desperate as they were at the beginning of the war.

When the staff officers stood under the eaves and talked about the situation with their hands tucked into their sleeves, in the snow not far away, the excited brothers couldn't wait to jump up and down again.

The Northern Subei Corps gathered a lot of stragglers who had scattered into Jiangsu from the Battle of Xuzhou. These stragglers included officers and soldiers from the coastal areas of Guangdong, and more officers and soldiers from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places. .

Because at that time, most of the troops under the command of General Li Zongren in the fifth theater were from local troops. It was by relying on these so-called local miscellaneous troops that they forcibly achieved a great victory in Taierzhuang, annihilating more than 1 elite troops of the devils.

However, in the later period of the Xuzhou Battle, the devils also launched a crazy revenge, mobilizing the main force in China at that time, trying to encircle and wipe out 60 Chinese troops in the Taierzhuang area.

However, General Li Zongren, the commander of the war zone, also sensed the danger in time, and took the initiative to command the troops to retreat, while Yang Ling and his 74th Army and other Central Army troops at that time traveled thousands of miles away, and the Battle of Lanfeng in the Lanfeng area was a cover Taierzhuang troops, exhausted from fighting for half a month, retreated.

Because at that time, Yang Ling and the Central Army troops had been training for several months in Huangpo, Hubei and other places, and they had replenished their weapons and equipment and soldiers.

Therefore, in the Battle of Lanfeng, not only did it complete the task of covering the retreat of the main force of Taierzhuang, but it also almost wiped out the Tufei Yuan Division, which was a lone army advancing in an attempt to cut off the retreat of the Taierzhuang defenders.

All the troops fought bravely and tenaciously on the Xuzhou battlefield, but the devils also mobilized a large number of elite troops to encircle and pursue them. Only then did the devil be blocked.

However, at that time, many of the troops responsible for blocking the rear were flooded, and some were dispersed, scattered behind the enemy's rear, and then were successively incorporated by guerrilla forces everywhere.

Many of these officers and soldiers from the south came to the north for the first time, and many of them saw such a heavy snow for the first time. At this moment, it is like a child getting a beloved toy, having fun in the snow , excited.

Those commanders at all levels who are usually dignified are no exception. At this moment, they are as happy as children, jumping and jumping, and the camps in Jieshou are full of excited officers and soldiers.

The brothers had a great time chasing and playing in the snow, making snowmen, and playing snowball fights, while those brothers from the north who had seen snow all the year round looked curiously at these brothers who got along day and night on weekdays.

They didn't expect that the brothers from the south had such a side, and they were all amazed. They thought the snow was unbearable, and they didn't understand why those brothers from the south were so happy because their hands were red from the cold.

"It's really outrageous. They still look like soldiers. Don't be offended, Mr. Yang. I'll call them back right away."

Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, walked over from a distance and saw Yang Ling standing under the eaves watching his brothers play in the snow. Worried that Yang Ling, who had always been strict with the army, would be displeased, he hurriedly said.

"Old Wu, it's rare for the brothers to relax and have fun, so let them make trouble." Yang Ling hurriedly stopped Wu Changqing, the battalion commander.

Although Yang Ling had strict requirements on his brothers on weekdays, he also hoped to train them into a strong army that would frighten the devils.

But Yang Ling also knew that no matter how he behaved or what he did, he had to be relaxed. If his nerves were kept tense, something would happen sooner or later.

"These guys are so energetic, let's see if I don't double train them when I go back."

Seeing that Yang Ling was not angry, Wu Changqing laughed and cursed at the brothers who were rolling in the snow and throwing snowballs.

"Old Wu, can you come to see me early in the morning for anything?" Yang Ling invited battalion commander Wu Changqing into the room.

While standing outside for a while, the orderly had already brought a pot of charcoal fire into the house, and the blazing charcoal fire made the room warm and dispelled the cold air.

Wu Changqing sat down and stretched his red hands from the cold over the hot brazier to warm them, and said, "On the way I was patrolling, I saw several villagers whose livestock had froze to death. The villagers were all depressed. Let me ask for instructions. Can our army buy these frozen livestock..."

The people's family is not rich, and the livestock in the family is almost a large part of the property. Now that they have been frozen to death by a sudden heavy snow, they must be sad.

After hearing Wu Changqing's words, Yang Ling pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good. Our troops and the local folks are on the same front. If the folks can't survive this winter, then we can make it through next year." But there was no food."

"In this way, you should inform Director Sun Junsu to handle this matter. You must buy the frozen dead livestock according to the market price. You can't deliberately lower the price, and you must ensure a fair transaction." Yang Ling instructed.

Yang Ling attaches great importance to the relationship between the army and the people. After all, fighting in the enemy-occupied area, only by being closely connected with the local people and gaining their support can their troops have food and can win the battle.

Now that these people are in trouble, their troops have an unshirkable responsibility to help them. Only when the soldiers and civilians unite together can they survive this severe winter, defeat the Japanese imperial invaders, and gain independence and freedom.

A heavy snowfall turned the vast area north of the Yangtze River into a snow country. Under such extremely bad weather, the devils were too frozen to huddle in the warm Gaoyou City and various artillery strongholds.
