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

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the blacksmith, the first battalion commander, suddenly stood up, raised his clenched fists and shouted.

"Fight to the end! I would rather die than surrender!"

Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, also stood up and made his oath.

"Fight to the end! I would rather die than surrender!"

"Fight to the end! I would rather die than surrender!"

......

All the brethren raised their arms and shouted with serious faces. Mountains roared like a tsunami, piercing gold and cracking rocks, and fierce murderous aura spread towards the surroundings. This is the strongest voice of the era uttered by Chinese soldiers.

The surrounding people who came to watch looked at the officers and soldiers who chanted and vowed not to surrender, their eyes filled with tears, and they also joined the shouting team until their voices became hoarse.

Yang Ling held a flag-sacrificing ceremony in which the traitors were shot in public in Jieshou, showing his tough attitude, that is, he would never compromise with the traitors.

This time the public shooting of the traitors not only inspired the morale of the army and the people, but also strengthened the belief of the brothers to fight to the death.

Not only did Yang Ling not choose to surrender to the puppet government in Nanjing as a traitor, but he decisively killed those who persuaded him to surrender in the future. When the news was sent back to Nanjing, the newly established Nanjing puppet government suddenly became furious.

"Arrogant, too arrogant, he is so unscrupulous as a mere captain, I don't know how powerful the world is, do we really think there is nothing we can do about him?!"

After getting the news, all the officials of the Nanjing Puppet Executive Yuan jumped in anger.

Some people also clamored for an immediate offensive: "Let the commander-in-chief of appeasement, General Ren Yuandao, mobilize troops to attack Jiangsu, and teach this northern Jiangsu corps a lesson!"

"Notify the Japanese army stationed in Gaoyou, let them assist in launching an attack, wipe out Yang Ling and his henchmen, and show those who resist to the end, what will happen to them!"

Now that Yang Ling killed those who persuaded him to surrender with such fanfare, it was tantamount to declaring war on the puppet government in Nanjing.

As the saying goes, the two armies are fighting without killing each other. Now that Yang Ling is doing this, it can be said that he has done everything wrong and let the puppet government of Nanjing lose face. Therefore, all the traitors in the puppet Executive Yuan suggested not to let Subei go like this Corps.

If the Subei Corps were let go this time, then the subsequent persuasion to surrender would be greatly reduced.

Because Yang Ling of the Subei Corps made a bad start. If he didn't teach him a lesson, whoever dared to go to other places to persuade them to surrender would probably never return.

Although the senior officials of the puppet government in Nanjing are clamoring to destroy the Northern Subei Corps, avenge the dead traitor chief Liu An, and at the same time save face.

But now their traitor troops are still on paper. The appeasement commander-in-chief of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui and Zhejiang, Ren Yuandao, can command and mobilize not many troops, and they are all local militias. Combat, I am afraid that once the battle is fought, it will be the result of collapse at the touch of a finger.

Although these high-ranking officials of the Nanjing puppet government are clamoring loudly, they also have self-knowledge, so they sent a telegram to the Watanabe detachment in Gaoyou, asking them to cooperate with a small group of puppet troops to attack the northern Jiangsu corps. fight.

However, Gaoyou's Watanabe detachment was affiliated to the headquarters of the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army. Facing the telegram from the Nanjing puppet government, it just showed a sneer.

"Everything in our department is based on the order of the Central China Expeditionary Army Command, and we cannot act without authorization." The devil directly rejected the Nanjing puppet government's order to assist in combat, without mercy.

The senior officials of the puppet government had no choice but to turn their targets to the Central China Dispatch Army Command of the devils, trying to ask them to issue an order for the devils to send troops.

"There is a huge gap in the ammunition and supplies required by the various ministries, and the military expenditure is insufficient..."

The headquarters of the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army is not a fool, so it can't work for nothing, so it started blackmailing under the pretext of insufficient supplies and ammunition.

The senior officials of the Nanjing puppet government are now focused on teaching Yang Ling's Northern Subei Corps a lesson, so when faced with the devil's proposal to ask the puppet government to bear the high military expenditure and the food and supplies needed for combat, they agreed without any hesitation.

However, the little devil is also the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle. When he did not see the actual thing, he has been standing still, waiting for the Nanjing puppet government to come forward to raise food and supplies.

When the Nanjing puppet government raised food supplies and military expenses everywhere in order to meet the devil's request for troops, the situation in the Sulu theater also took a turn for the worse.

Han Deqin, chairman of Jiangsu Province, declined the Nanjing puppet government's persuasion to surrender, and General Li Mingyang, the commander of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, directly blasted away those who persuaded him to surrender.

Although they were not as extreme as Yang Ling, they also caused a major setback to the Nanjing puppet government's attempt to persuade them to surrender.

Text Chapter 99: Pre-war Meeting

While the puppet government in Nanjing was raising the supplies and food needed for the military operations of the devil troops, the Subei Corps in the Sulu Theater was also actively preparing for the war.

Yang Ling shot and killed the traitors who came to persuade them to surrender in public, revealing his tough attitude beyond doubt, that is, he would never be a traitor.

Although Yang Ling showed a tough attitude, he also knew what would happen to him after he made a statement.

Shooting the first bird, doing what I do now is tantamount to tearing the face off with the Nanjing puppet government and slapping the Nanjing puppet government in the face.

Now the Nanjing puppet government was severely slapped when it was first established. It would be strange if it didn't retaliate.

Yang Ling took advantage of the fact that the Nanjing puppet government was still reacting, and acted first to expand the control area of ​​his northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps to meet the next bad situation.

With the establishment of the Nanjing puppet government, the frontal battlefield is better. Chongqing has assembled a heavy army group and devils to fight hard, and the Nanjing puppet government has little influence on them.

But for the enemy-occupied areas, the impact was great. The regular troops and guerrilla troops in the enemy's rear were already fighting hard under the rounds of attacks by the devils.

Now the Nanjing puppet government has been established in this way, and has played the slogans of "China-Japan friendship" and "curve to save the country".

Yang Ling also had to admit that these slogans were still very confusing, and many officers and soldiers who were fighting behind the enemy lines would be led astray by them if they didn't pay attention.

Although Yang Ling was confident that he would be able to control the Subei Corps to prevent large-scale defection and treason, it did not mean that friendly troops would not.

It can be expected that in the next long period of time, there will be a large number of troops, gentry and landlords who will surrender to the Nanjing puppet government, and the days of these troops who insist on not surrendering will be very difficult.

So now Yang Ling has to act first, work hard to expand his control area, strengthen the strength of his troops, and then have the capital to continue the long-term resistance behind the enemy.

Now they are confronting the devils in Gaoyou on the front line of Jieshou, and the deputy captain Zhang Liechen is guarding Huaiyin, which can be regarded as one of their rear.

But there was Baoying between Jieshou and Huaiyin. Baoying was now guarded by devils and puppet troops. Although the territory controlled by the guerrillas had been compressed to the periphery of Baoying County, it was still a threat to Yang Ling and the others.

So after the traitor Liu An and others were executed in public, Yang Ling held a military meeting to discuss the capture of Baoying.

Taking Baoying can not only connect Jieshou and Huaiyin, and connect the two bases into one, but it can also be regarded as a positive counterattack against the Nanjing puppet government.

After this period of training, the officers and soldiers of the Subei Corps have not only improved their combat effectiveness, but also unified their thinking. It is the time when the fighting spirit is high.

When Yang Ling proposed to use Baoying for surgery, there was almost no hesitation. The senior officers of the North Jiangsu Corps all raised their hands in favor of this military operation.

"Baoying's garrison now has a squadron of devils and a small team, with a strength of about 1000 people. There are two battalions of puppet troops in the defense, about 25 people, and they control [-] villages around Baoying."

The current front of the devils is very long, and the main combat forces are fighting against the main Chinese forces in Hunan, Shanxi, Guangxi and other places.

However, these occupied areas are short of troops. The devils mainly implement the policy of puppet troops to assist in the defense in the occupied areas, and recruit a large number of puppet troops to assist in the defense.

Most of the local garrisons have a small number of devil soldiers to cooperate with a large number of puppet troops, and the situation in Baoying is similar, with a large number of puppet soldiers and a small number of devils.

During this period of time, the intelligence network in charge of Liu Sheng, the intelligence staff officer of the Subei Corps, was also actively spying on Baoying, and basically found out everything about Baoying's enemy situation.

"Because the north, east, and south of Baoying County are surrounded by our army, Baoying's current supplies of materials and ammunition are mainly delivered from Anhui. As long as we cut off the material delivery channel to the west of Baoying, Baoying will be a Lonely city."

Ever since the Subei Corps occupied Jieshou, Baoying was half surrounded between Huaiyin and Jieshou, and the devils were not willing to give up Baoying just like that.

Therefore, the devils opened a transportation channel connecting Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake to Baoying, and stationed a puppet army camp to build strongholds and gun towers along the way to guard.
