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

"Now there is no training when it gets dark. You can study for half an hour at night. It is considered progress if you let the brothers know two characters a day. After ten days, it will be twenty characters. It won't be long before the brothers may learn more. I can write letters home."

"The officer training class can be rotated. First, a part of the officers will be transferred. After they go back, another part of the officers will be transferred. Our brothers are all fighting all the way up. Without systematic learning, being a company platoon leader is enough. It’s very difficult, this is not possible, if our Subei Corps becomes like the Sulu Corps one day, with seven or eight regiments under it, it will be too late to train officers by then.”

"Yes! I must hurry up and do it."

After hearing Yang Ling's ambition, Lei Xiong, the combat staff officer, was also shocked. He didn't expect his chief to think so long-term. If he really became as powerful as the Sulu Corps, the current command ability of the officers would indeed be difficult for him.

"Order the Quartermaster Department to make more ginger soup to warm the stomach and drive away the cold, and prepare some lard to prevent frostbite."

"The Women's Committee has also stepped up to sew military uniforms. My goal is to let the brothers have at least three sets of military uniforms."

Text 16th Chapter [-] Surface Patrol

The military training of the North Jiangsu Corps is in full swing, not only the officers at all levels attach great importance to it, but also every brother is full of enthusiasm.

The brethren would assemble in the loud Reveille every day at dawn, and then start a five-kilometer armed cross-country to warm up for the full-day training.

In the first few days, the brothers only participated in such cross-country training with guns on their shoulders, but now every brother is wearing a heavy sandbag on his leg, which makes the brothers tormented enough.

And after breakfast, the formal training of the day began. After struggling on the training ground, the brothers returned to the barracks every day, covered in mud, so tired that they lay limp on the ground and could not move.

Although it was a bit difficult at the beginning, as time went by, the brothers have gradually adapted to this training intensity.

Moreover, when the troops are training, they do not directly train with high intensity, but gradually increase the amount of training, so that the brothers have a process of adaptation.

Although it has only been training for a week, the brothers have undergone significant changes as if they have been completely reborn, with the toughness and sharpness of a soldier in their gestures and gestures.

The brothers trained hard, and Yang Ling's logistics support was also very good. First of all, in terms of meals, the brothers were not only able to eat enough, but also to eat well.

The food obtained from the headquarters of the Xinghua Deputy Theater is enough for the brothers to eat freely until the beginning of spring, so there is no need for the Subei Corps to worry about food in a short time.

Moreover, Yang Ling ordered Major Sun Zhong, the person in charge of the Military Supplies Department, to go to the nearby villages and towns to purchase the livestock of the common people who had died of frostbite, and after they were slaughtered in the camp, they would be slaughtered to supplement nutrition for the brothers.

At the same time, Jieshou is close to Gaoyou Lake, and there are many fishermen in Jieshou who rely on fishing for a living. Yang Ling buys fat and big fish from them at the purchase price, and cooks braised fish in brown sauce and boils fish for his brothers. Soup.

Originally, the life of these fishermen was very difficult. Although the fish in Gaoyou Lake were big and fat, after all, Jieshou originally had so much consumption power, and they only delivered dozens of catties of fish to restaurants a day. Most of them had to do it themselves. eat.

But now it is different. Although the Patriotic Battalion of the Northern Subei Corps has been transferred back to Huaiyin to assist in the defense, there are still temporary general command agencies and five combat response units with 5000 people remaining in Jieshou.

The spending power of so many people is quite scary, and Yang Ling is not buying or selling by force, but buys from fishermen according to the market price.

So in the past, the fishermen in Jieshou, whose fishing industry almost came to a standstill in winter, are extremely busy this winter.

Ships of lively big fish are loaded and unloaded at the pier in Jieshou every day and sent to the camp of the North Jiangsu Corps, which makes the fishermen earn a lot of money.

Gaoyou Lake has a large area, and there is a waterway connected to the Yangtze River to the south, and Hongze Lake to the north. The water area is wide, and there is no overfishing in this era, so there are abundant fishery resources. Yang Ling is not worried that the fish in Gaoyou Lake will be killed. It's gone.

Because the officers and soldiers of the Northern Subei Corps absolutely did not buy or sell by force during the transaction, it was all a fair transaction, and the fishermen made more money, so naturally the news spread.

Small merchants from all over the place heard the news and rushed to Jieshou to do business. For a while, the streets and alleys of Jieshou were filled with yelling and hawking.

Although this winter is very cold, Jieshou has become extraordinarily lively because of the war.

Although the little devil hibernated in Gaoyou City in the winter, he did not stop spying on Chinese troops everywhere.

When I learned that there were a large number of fishing boats fishing in Gaoyou Lake every day, although the devils could not attack Jieshou from the land direction because of the bad weather and the roads along the way were destroyed, they could come from the waterway.

The last time the devils sent a water squadron to try to land from Jieshou Pier, and then took Jieshou in one fell swoop.

But because Yang Ling and the others obtained the information in advance, because they set up an ambush in advance and killed the devil's squadron on the water, and captured seven or eight surface motorboats.

When the devils sent a motorboat patrol from Gaoyou Wharf to harass and shoot the fishing boats on Gaoyou Lake to the north, Yang Ling and the others fought back not to be outdone.

Yang Ling immediately recruited some former Chinese marine police officers and soldiers who had been dismissed and strong fishermen to form the first surface patrol team of their Subei Corps to protect the fishing boats operating in Gaoyou Lake.

With strong patriotism, the officers and soldiers of the surface patrol team of the Subei Corps carried forward the spirit of the officers and soldiers of the Subei Corps who dared to show their swords, and fought back fiercely against the invading devil surface patrol team.

In the three surface battles, the Subei surface patrol team, with several motorboats as the main force and fishing boats as the auxiliary force, charged heavily, inflicting heavy damage on the devil's surface patrol team.

Among the motorboats that the devils attacked, three of them were sunk by the surface patrol team of the North Jiangsu Corps in Gaoyou Lake, and 30 devils were killed.

After the devil's surface patrol team suffered three heavy losses, every time they saw the surface patrol team of the Subei Corps from a distance, they began to flee far away, not daring to confront them.

Devils are ghost spirits too. Although they dare not shoot those Chinese fishermen as arrogantly as before, they are paying attention to sneak attack.

"Captain, there are fishermen from the Chinese Army ahead!"

The devils had become more cautious now, and they didn't dare to go out in broad daylight. They wanted to come and attack at dusk. When they saw more than ten fishing boats in the distance through the binoculars, they all became excited.

The devil's squad leader was tall and strong, and he was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, but even so, the knife-like cold wind on the lake made him feel as if he was placed in an ice cellar.

"Rush forward and wipe them all out!" The devil's squad leader's face became ferocious, and he ordered viciously.

The few times they came over without knowing the depth, they were beaten into a mess by the surface patrol team of the Subei Corps and suffered a lot of losses.

This time he was commanding a full five motorboats, just to avenge the previous few times.

"Full speed ahead!"

The devil's semaphore soldiers standing at the bow quickly signaled to the other motorboats. With the sound of rumbling motors, the devil's motorboat rushed towards the fishing boat full of fresh fish like an arrow off the string. past.

"Oops, it's the little devil's steamboat!"

When they heard a few small black spots getting closer in the distance, the expressions of the fishermen who were full of fresh fish talking and laughing all changed wildly.

They were all fishing boats without any fighting ability, not to mention the machine guns that hit the Devil's motorboat, even if they hit, they could knock them over in the lake.

In this freezing weather, if you fall into the icy lake, you will lose your skin even if you don't die.

"Run!" Some fishermen panicked, paddling hurriedly, trying to run in the direction of Jieshou Wharf.

"Run away, can we outrun the devil's steamboat? Hurry up and send a signal! Help!" The leader of the boat boss was quite calm and hurriedly ordered.

Hearing what the boat boss said, the panicked fishermen reacted, and hastily pulled out the flare gun given to them by the Subei surface patrol team and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

"call out!"

A flare rose up into the sky unsteadily, making a piercing whistling sound.

And as the signal flare rose into the sky, the ear-piercing hand-cranked alarm also rang, and the penetrating sound spread far away.

The hand-cranked sirens belonged to the captured little devils, and now they have become the standard equipment of Yang Ling and his Subei team's front-line observation posts.

The No. [-] motorboat of the Subei Surface Patrol Team patrolling nearby was nearby, and the observation post saw the signal flare in the distance.

"Squad leader, squad leader, someone sent a signal flare at eight o'clock!" The observation post shouted hastily.
