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

The accidental death of Liu Jinhu, the deputy battalion commander of the second battalion, made everyone who had just captured Baoying feel extremely heavy.

The people who talked and laughed together the day before and talked about drinking together after winning the battle, now they have become cold corpses separated by yin and yang, and they can no longer drink together and fight side by side.

Liu Jinhu can also be regarded as a hero of the Subei Corps, he must be the first in every battle, and this time he attacked Baoying, and he was the first to attack the devil's headquarters with his men.

But everyone also knows that even veterans who have gone through a few battles may be killed in the next very inconspicuous battle, and then disappear forever.

But everyone also understands that this is war, whether you are an officer or a soldier, as long as you put on a military uniform and go to the battlefield, any piece of explosion fragments or a stray bullet may kill you.

Even so, facing the broken mountains and rivers, they knew that they would die, but they still put on their military uniforms without hesitation, picked up their guns and joined the torrent that followed. These are Chinese soldiers.

"Brother Liu and the brothers who died in battle did not die badly. They did not embarrass our North Jiangsu Corps. Our living brothers will continue to fight to complete the important task of recovering Heshan!"

Yang Ling ordered the deputy battalion commander Liu Jinhu and the brothers who died this time to be buried in peace.

"I'd rather be a war dead ghost than a subjugated slave!"

"National preservation, I die!"

Both officers and ordinary brothers clenched their fists, ready to shed the last drop of blood to defend the dignity of the nation, just like those countless brothers who fought to the death.

"Report, send an urgent message from Gaoyou, the devils are committing crimes in the north!"

Before the funeral ceremony was over, the communication staff hurriedly walked up to Yang Ling with a telegram.

"The devil really couldn't bear it anymore."

Yang Ling had expected the devils to go north. After all, their main force was now in Baoying, so there was no reason for the devils not to attack when Jieshou was empty.

"This time the devil actually sent four infantry brigades and one artillery brigade. It seems that the little devil came here in a bad way." The telegram was passed on by the commander-in-chief officers, and everyone's expressions became solemn.

Now the North Jiangsu Corps has only five combat battalions at full strength, and there is no chance of winning if they have to fight head-on with the five brigades of the devils.

"Don't worry, we are the guerrilla corps. As long as we hold the devils in the water network area for a week, and then send infiltration troops to cut off the devil's supply line, the devils will naturally retreat." Yang Ling didn't have much worry about the devils attacking the north.

Their current guerrilla tactics are very proficient. The enemy advances and retreats, the enemy retreats and pursues, the enemy is tired and fights. With so many troops scattered to fight against the devils, no matter how strong the devils are, they will be caught blind.

As long as they implement the attrition tactics of guerrilla warfare, constantly harass the devils, delay the devils, and make cold shots, the devils will eventually be unable to bear the losses and retreat.

"The telegram ordered Shen Biao to slow down the speed of the devils' northward advance according to the original plan, so that the main force of our North Jiangsu Corps can go south to fight." Yang Ling instructed the communications staff officer.

"Yes!" The communications officer hurried away.

Yang Ling estimated that it would take two days to capture Baoying, but now it took only one day to capture them, so they had enough time to go south to help.

"The fifth battalion left two companies in Baoying to wait for Huaiyin to send people to take over, and the rest of the troops quickly assembled and went south."

Subei Corps had just captured Jieshou and rested for less than five hours. Under the yelling of the officers, all the troops assembled in line again, preparing to go south to face the battle.

"Everyone is only allowed to take ten bullets and two grenades!"

At the south gate of Baoying, the officers of the Military Supplies Department had already led people to move Baoying's devil's ammunition to the gate of the city. Sun Zhong, the director of the Military Supplies Department, stood on the ammunition box and shouted loudly with a metal horn.

"Those who get the pancakes go over there to line up, and each class gets an extra can!"

Teams of officers and soldiers going south lined up at the city gate to receive ammunition and food, and then they were about to go south to a new battlefield.

"Woooo-"

When the brothers gathered in Baoying to replenish ammunition and prepare to go south to fight, suddenly there was the sound of roaring motors in the sky.

"The devil plane is coming! The devil plane is coming!"

The air defense post issued a stern warning, and at the same time sounded the air defense siren seized from the devil.

The shrill siren rang through Baoying City immediately, and the brothers who were gathering were stunned for a moment, and they all looked towards the sky. In the southwest sky, more than a dozen small black spots were rapidly approaching.

"Concealment! Spread the concealment!"

Seeing that the devil's plane came at this time, the officers who hadn't seen the devil's plane for a long time also reacted and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, the troops usually went through air defense drills, and the assembled troops dispersed in a hurry, hiding in ditches and weeds one after another.

"Da da da da..."

Soon, more than a dozen devil's planes flew over at low altitude, and the machine guns on board from far away opened fire on the brothers who were fleeing in a panic.

The scorching bullets plowed the ground into two trajectories, causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere. The empty ammunition box suddenly flew sawdust, turning into transparent holes one after another.

The devil's plane was very arrogant. They almost flew over the brothers' heads. The strong air waves from the plane's wings knocked many brothers to the ground.

"The little devil of the dog day!"

The two quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns that the Northern Subei Corps had brought from the theater headquarters had already guarded against the planes of the devils. At this moment, they all lifted the tarpaulins one after another and opened fire on the devils.

"Teng Teng Teng-"

Two quadruple anti-aircraft machine guns spit out flames, and a string of bullets flew towards the devil's plane and flew out.

"Da-da-da! Da-da-da!"

Many machine gunners also quickly set up their machine guns and joined the fire attack on the Devil's plane.

The devil's plane rushed over aggressively. It was scary enough to think that guerrillas like the Subei Corps had anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Pfft!"

A Devils plane was facing the anti-aircraft machine gun bullets that were firing head-on. The Devils pilot wanted to pull up, but there was no time at all.

He watched helplessly as the protective cover of the cabin was riddled with holes, and then the bullets spattered his blood everywhere.

The Devil's plane, which lost control, skimmed over the city wall, knocked away a large piece of masonry, and then crashed straight into a farmland.

"Boom!"

The devil's plane slammed into the farmland, and immediately with a deafening roar, the fuel tank of the devil's plane exploded, and the fireball engulfed the devil's plane.

"Bagaya Road!"

Seeing that one of the planes in the formation was shot down as soon as it arrived, the rest of the devil planes hurriedly pulled up while cursing, fearing that the same mistakes would happen again.

The devil's plane didn't dare to straf at low altitude anymore, so it had to be pulled up to high altitude, blowing up the air one by one and throwing them down.

"Boom! Boom!"

Heavy aerial bombs fell into the city one after another. Amidst the dull roar, mushroom clouds rose up one after another, and the ground trembled violently.

"Little devil, I'll ignore your grandma, come down if you have the ability!"
