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

And because they came from a military academy after all, they looked down on these brothers who had been promoted step by step from the grassroots soldiers, and felt that their military quality was low.

Now the two sides are not pleasing to each other, but after all, the blacksmiths are people Yang Ling trusts, they are in control of the troops, and now they are firmly over the airborne faction.

As the blacksmith and the others entered the meeting room, ten battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders and a group of staff officers soon filled the meeting room.

However, the blacksmith and the vice captain Yuan Guangtao seemed to be a little different from their seats.

Yang Ling naturally knew some conflicts between the two sides, but he also knew that sometimes conflicts and competitions are good things.

If a unit really loses its competitiveness, it will start to go downhill, but this competition must control the direction, such as the competition between soldiers training, the competition between fighting and killing devils, not the competition of internal friction. Doing my best to avoid internal friction.

Fortunately, he is now the commander of the North Jiangsu Corps, and he has a high prestige. Although the two factions compete, he can still suppress them and guide them to compete in a good direction.

"The officer is here!"

Following the shout of the guard outside the door, Yang Ling, who was wearing a thick woolen military uniform, strode into the meeting room.

"brush!"

All the officers in the conference room stood up and saluted Yang Ling in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

After Yang Ling walked to the first place, he returned the military salute to his brothers: "Sit—"

Everyone had serious expressions, and sat down again with a swipe. Everyone's upper body was sitting upright, showing a good military appearance.

After Yang Ling sat down, he gestured to Liu Sheng, the intelligence officer, who nodded and stood up.

"According to the intelligence of the local militia and self-defense forces, the activities of the devil's small infiltration troops suddenly became more frequent. They often crossed our defense line, attacked our sentries, captured working villagers, and robbed cattle and sheep... "

Staff officer Liu Sheng reported: "In the past week alone, there have been six attacks in the Swill River and Liujiaba areas, resulting in the death and injury of more than [-] innocent people, eight self-defense militiamen, and countless livestock losses. .”

The brothers have been training troops in the territory of Jieshou and Baoying these days, and now the intelligence department is in charge of the general intelligence department, so they don't know about these things.

Now when they suddenly heard that the devils had started to move frequently again and caused such a huge loss to the people on the edge of the defense zone, the brothers were filled with righteous indignation and their faces were sullen.

"I think this little devil is a bitch. Jieshou has killed so many people and still doesn't know how to restrain himself, so he came to provoke him again!"

"The little devil of Gou Ri is really worse than a beast!"

"Brothers have practiced itchy hands these days. Since the devil is here, let's not hide it. Let's do it! Kill another brigade of him!"

......

The brothers all clamored loudly and wanted to send troops to fight the little devil.

"We don't even know the number of devils, and we don't know the purpose of attacking us, so we clamor to fight. I think this is the behavior of reckless people."

Seeing the brothers clamoring indignantly to teach the devil a lesson, Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, opened his mouth angrily.

"Don't care how many people there are, since they come to beat us, we can't be cowardly! If anyone is a coward and dare not beat them, he should go home and pick up the child."

Hearing that Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the fourth battalion, poured cold water on him, Liu Jinhu, the deputy commander of the second battalion, immediately became unhappy and turned back.

"you!"

Looking at the smug deputy battalion commander Liu Jinhu, the Fourth Battalion Commander Xie Zhengxiang wanted to curse, but seeing so many people here, he forcibly held back.

"Jinhu, sit down."

Yang Ling said in a lesson-like tone: "Battle Commander Xie is right. You all need to learn. Fighting is not about charging as soon as your head gets hot, but fighting with your brain. Have you forgotten how I taught you?"

"Yes!" The brothers who clamored to be beaten all agreed in unison.

Intelligence staff officer Liu Sheng continued: "After the analysis of our intelligence department, the main purpose of the devil's infiltration and sneak attack this time is to test the strength of our army and our reaction..."

Main text Chapter 69 Rivalry

"Intelligence shows that a large amount of military supplies and ammunition have arrived in Gaoyou by water and land, and the devils are actively preparing for battle. As for the target, it is difficult to judge for the time being due to lack of sufficient information..."

Liu Sheng, the intelligence staff officer, told all the information he had learned and their analysis, and the conference room was soon buzzing with whispers of discussions.

From last year to the present, the Subei Corps has fought against the devils several times, and won each time, so the brothers no longer have the fear of the devils, but are full of expectations for the upcoming battle.

Therefore, the entire conference room did not have the tense atmosphere when they heard that the devils were coming, but instead seemed a little excited, and the brothers' fighting spirit was high.

"Since the devil is already actively preparing for the battle, although it is impossible to judge who the devil's attack target is, we must also pay more attention to it, so as not to rush to fight." Yang Ling knocked on the table to remind his brothers.

"Sir, when the soldiers come, we will cover them with water and soil. As long as the devil dares to come, we don't mind destroying another brigade of him!" the deputy battalion commander Daozi shouted excitedly.

"Hahaha, yes, let the devil continue to be the captain of our transportation team." The brothers also echoed.

Seeing that the brothers were all very enthusiastic about fighting, Yang Ling was also very happy. After such a long preparation, he also wanted to fight the devils to see how the soldiers were doing. After all, only the battlefield can be tested. real fighting power.

"Don't worry too much. We wiped out a brigade of devils. With the devil's vengeful character, he will definitely trouble us. Some of these battles were fought by you."

Yang Ling changed the subject and said: "But now we don't know anything about the devil's strength and attack plan, so we can't attack rashly, so as not to fall into a passive state, so now our policy is that if the enemy does not move, we will not move. The main force of the army does not take the initiative to attack, but must actively prepare for the battle, from now on the whole corps will enter the state of war, ready to fight!"

"Yes!"

When the brothers heard Yang Ling's words, they all agreed and shouted loudly.

"Sir, what should we do if the small infiltrated army of devils keeps harassing us?" Shen Biao, who was determined to fight, asked.

"That's right, we can't just watch them be lawless." The brothers all echoed.

Yang Ling looked at the brothers and explained, "Our main force doesn't move, but it doesn't mean that we ignore the small army of devils who attacked. That's irresponsible to the people."

"The devil's small troops keep coming. This is not just a simple infiltration attack by the devil, but also to test the reaction and strength of our army, and to stand in front of their main force's next attack. Therefore, we have to fight an tooth for a tooth, blood for blood , teach them a lesson!"

Yang Ling remembered that the Liutiao Lake incident and the Lugouqiao incident were all caused by the little devils deliberately, and then they looked at the strength and reaction of the Chinese army.

As soon as they see that the Chinese army is subdued or weak, their main force will swarm up and start attacking to expand the situation.

Before the main force of the devils launched a large-scale military operation, small-scale attacks and all kinds of friction were just common tricks of the devils, and Yang Ling knew it well.

Now the little devils are constantly infiltrating and attacking Yang Ling and the others. They are nothing more than testing them, attracting attention, and providing cover for the main force to gather.

Yang Ling would not be fooled by the little devil. Since the little devil wanted to send people to infiltrate and harass him, he could send a small army to fight back, but the main force would stay put, so that the little devil could not figure out their situation and dared not act rashly .

"The militia self-defense forces in the villages are no longer the opponents of the devil's infiltrating troops. The infiltrating troops of these little devils are all elites, so I decided to send troops from each battalion to assist the militia troops near the defense line and strangle these devils."

The devils are now mainly on the sidelines, and only sent a small force to test, and Yang Ling is also preparing a small force to fight back.

Moreover, although their troops did not train for a very long time this time, they finally trained systematically. He wanted to test the strength of the troops.

Each battalion dispatched small units to take turns to fight against these infiltrated small units of the devils. Not only could it effectively curb the infiltration and intelligence spying of the devils, but it could also exercise the troops' actual combat capabilities.

The battalion commanders of the battalions heard that they were going to teach the infiltration troops of these devils a good lesson, and they were about to compete for places.
