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

After all, the weather was really bad. Under the baptism of the cold current coming down from the Siberian Plateau, there was snow everywhere, and the roads were also heavily snow-covered, which paralyzed the devil mobile unit with many cars and could not move.

Although the devils can march and fight without the car, but in such a severe cold weather, it is no different from suffering in the ice cellar. Frostbite and illness can reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops by a large amount, so the devils are wise I chose to hibernate.

"Our insider sent back news that the devils in Gaoyou have no plans to launch a large-scale military operation recently, and because the devils did not take enough precautions against the cold snap this time, the devils' hospitals are already overcrowded, and the number of injured and sick patients has increased sharply."

When Liu Sheng, the staff officer in charge of intelligence, reported the news to Yang Ling, Yang Ling's mood didn't fluctuate much, which was similar to his expectation.

Now the devils have relied more and more on mechanized marches. When they are often dispatched, they use three wheels to clear the way, and the car transport troops follow up at a very fast speed.

Once a certain place is attacked, they can quickly reinforce them. Once the guerrillas react slowly, they may be surrounded by devils.

But now a heavy snowfall has made the devil's car lie down, and the devil is not very adaptable to China's climate, so it is expected that he will not move now.

When fighting in Nanxun, Wanjialing, it was the season of scorching heat, and the devils also underestimated the weather, so that the number of casualties caused by heatstroke and other injuries in the early battles of the devils was more than that of the battle.

"The little devil is now a coward. I'm afraid there won't be any large-scale military operations before the beginning of spring. We can finally take a rest."

Hearing that the devils can't move now, the brothers all showed relaxed expressions on their faces. After all, they have been fighting with high intensity, which is indeed exhausting both physically and mentally.

Yang Ling knocked on the table with a smile and reminded: "Don't you have any thoughts of resting and relaxing now. As the saying goes, you practice during the summer and winter, and there are no combat missions now. It's a good time for our North Jiangsu Corps to train. "

"Come on, I won't be able to sleep well." After hearing Yang Ling's words, Lei Xiong also sighed.

All the officers above the battalion level who were surrounded by the hot brazier to warm the fire in the room all showed bitter expressions. They thought they could take the opportunity to rest, but who knew that Yang Ling was going to train soldiers, so it was their turn to be busy now.

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Don't make a sad face, I have agreed in advance, whoever performs well in this big training, if you have a crush on which girl, I, the captain, will personally arrange a matchmaker for you. How about you asking for a daughter-in-law?"

"That's good!" After hearing Yang Ling's proposal, all the officers in the room became excited and applauded.

When they were in the army, the conscripts said they would go back in a year or two, but in the end it became a deferred retirement in the army, and then it has been postponed until now, not to mention asking for a wife, and they can't even return home.

And most of the officers and soldiers of these troops are bachelors, who have been marching and fighting everywhere, coupled with the constraints of military discipline, how can they have a chance to ask for a wife.

This is why many troops often desert and violate military discipline to harm those girls, because many people don't know when they will die on the battlefield, and they don't want their family to lose their incense, so they often take risks.

But now that Yang Ling and the others had established a firm foothold behind the enemy lines, and had created a large area of ​​base area, instead of making the brothers miss their home far away, it would be better to let them start a family right there.

This will not only give the brothers a sense of purpose and hope, but also give them a sense of belonging. They will be able to fight the devil bravely and tenaciously in order to defend this land and the family behind them, and it will also improve the combat effectiveness of the troops virtually.

"But let me make it clear that you all have to train me well. If the training is not good, let alone begging for a wife, I have to beat you." Yang Ling looked at the excited brothers and reminded with a smile.

"Don't worry, sir, we will train with all our strength!" Now that we have a head start, everyone is extraordinarily enthusiastic.

"Hahaha, this daughter-in-law doesn't even write a word, you kid is thinking of something bad." After hearing Daozi's words, Huagou joked.

"Go, go, which pot is not open and which pot to lift." Facing Huagou's teasing, Knife said angrily.

"When I have a son, I will let him fight devils with Chief Yang. As long as the little devils don't leave China, our children and grandchildren will continue to fight him." Staff officer Lei Xiong said sternly.

"Then what if we have a daughter?" Liu Sheng leaned over and said.

Lei Xiong raised his head: "What's the matter with my daughter? The storytelling also said that Mu Guiying was in command to go to war. If I have a daughter in the future, I will still be like his father and me, and go to battle to kill devils!"

"I said, Lao Lei, you are such a big bastard, don't even think about having sons and daughters, you should think about it first, which girl likes you and is willing to have children with you." A staff officer reminded with a smile .

On the other hand, Lei Xiong, the staff officer, was full of dissatisfaction: "How about we make a bet and see who will get a wife first?"

"Just bet, who is afraid of whom? If you can get a wife before me, then how about my son marrying your daughter?"

"Get out, it's my son who is going to marry your daughter."

Hearing what the two said, the officers in the room all laughed together, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily relaxed.

"I'm here to remind everyone. Although I allow you to start a family on the spot, if the girl you like is unwilling, you can't force it. Everything has to be voluntary. Do you understand clearly?"

"Don't worry, sir, we will never force other girls, everything is voluntary." The brothers all promised.

Yang Ling allowed the brothers to marry local girls in order to give the brothers a sense of belonging and improve their combat effectiveness, but it did not violate military discipline.

Because in the army in Chongqing, they are very relaxed about this aspect. Many officers took in a lot of concubines when they transferred to the battle.

Yang Ling remembered that when the army entered Changchun, more than 3000 officers and soldiers got married in one day. Of course, as the number of family members accompanying the army increased, the combat effectiveness of the army also weakened, and they were finally defeated.

However, analyzing specific issues in detail, Yang Ling's permission to marry brothers is also conditional. They must be trained well, be able to win battles, and be supervised, so that the brothers will not fall into tenderness after marriage and forget the hatred of the country and the family.

After all, the little devils still occupy a large area of ​​Chinese territory, and the main task now is to fight the devils. Marriage is just an auxiliary means to improve the sense of belonging and morale of the troops.

Text Chapter 42 Organization Adjustment

Although the mountains were covered by heavy snow, the Subei Corps was not idle because of the cold and lack of combat missions, but was actively preparing for large-scale military training.

The Northern Subei Corps has been fighting since the establishment of Huaiyin. The units have hardly undergone decent systematic training. Most of them are veterans leading new recruits in actual combat, training while fighting.

But now Yang Ling was taking advantage of the opportunity that the little devil couldn't shrink back because of the severe cold weather, and was going to bribe and retrain the troops who had already fought bloody battles to enhance their combat effectiveness.

The troops had lost a lot of personnel in the previous battles, so on the eve of the large-scale training, Yang Ling also adjusted the training program first, and adjusted the establishment first.

According to the new organization given to them by the theater command, there are now five guerrilla battalions under the Subei Corps, and the strength of each battalion has been adjusted, and Yang Ling has re-appointed officers at all levels according to their performance in previous battles.

On the eve of the large-scale military training, the re-adjustment of the troop organization and the re-appointment of officers also hope that in the upcoming large-scale military training, they will be able to run in with each other and improve their ability to coordinate operations.

"According to the order of the theater command, our Northern Subei First Guerrilla Corps will be expanded into five combat guerrilla battalions. Now I am announcing the appointment of new officers at all levels in each battalion."

Although the officers above the battalion and company level on both sides of the long table in the conference room had heard from various gossip that the Subei Corps would be expanded, when Yang Ling personally announced it, they were still a little excited, and they all sat upright, waiting for the next article .

They can be said to have watched the Northern Subei Corps grow stronger step by step, and have feelings for the Northern Subei Corps. The expansion of the Subei Corps now means that there are more soldiers and generals, and they will have more confidence in fighting the little devils in the future. Yes, they are also sincerely happy.

"blacksmith!"

"Have!"

Blacksmith, the former battalion commander of the First Battalion, whose wounds had not yet been removed, was wrapped in bandages, and stood up in response, his body standing like a pole.

"I am hereby appointed blacksmith as the acting lieutenant colonel commander of the First Guerrilla Battalion of the First Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu—" Yang Ling looked at the blacksmith and read out the letter of appointment aloud.

Appointing the blacksmith as the acting battalion commander instead of the battalion commander was also Yang Ling's deliberate decision, the so-called rewards and punishments.

In the battle at Jieshou, although their two battalions killed the devils in a bloody battle, they killed as many as 600 people, which had a lot to do with the command mistakes of the two battalion commanders.

At the commendation meeting, Yang Ling commended ten combat heroes who had performed outstandingly in the battle, but he also wanted to give a blow to the two battalion commanders who had bred pride, so as to prevent them from making the same mistake next time.

Before Yang Ling was appointed, he had already talked to the blacksmith and Shen Biao. As long as they performed well in the big training, the acting battalion commander could be removed.

If they are still full of pride based on the fact that they have fought many battles and their seniority, then the acting battalion commander will always hang up.

It was precisely because Yang Ling had talked to them in private in the early stage, so when the blacksmith heard that he was appointed as the acting battalion commander, there was no emotion on his face.

"Yes!" The blacksmith agreed loudly, and he accepted the appointment.
