It was not yet dawn, but the gunfire in Huaiyin County had already fallen away, and the recalcitrant puppet army and devils had almost been wiped out.

Such important locations as grain depots, ammunition depots, and devil headquarters were all controlled by guerrilla officers and soldiers.

Groups of guerrilla officers and men, covered with scorched marks of battle, hurried through the dirty and dilapidated streets with guns, and they were ordered to purge the remnants of the enemy and hunt down the enemy who had been hiding.

The streets were in disarray, grenades and grenades from grenades had blown many places into ruins, and from time to time cold, stiff corpses came into view, and the blood on the ground had solidified into a dark black.

Although the officers and men of Yang Ling's guerrillas had deliberately restrained themselves and reduced the accidental injuries to ordinary residents during the battle, the battle still caused damage to the residents in the city.

"Changqing, you organize people to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, collect the corpses, register the houses destroyed in the battle, and when they are cleaned up, send people to compensate and repair them."

Yang Ling is a guerrilla force of the Chinese, and the restoration of Huaiyin is also to save the local residents from the brutal rule of the devils, so they must be properly settled and not let them suffer losses due to the fighting.

Because the people in the occupied areas were already living in difficulty, now in the winter, their houses were destroyed by the war, and they became refugees with no fixed home, which is not what Yang Ling wants to see.

"Huzi, take the guard platoon to patrol the streets, and severely crack down on the ruffian bullies who take advantage of the fire to rob, once you find it, you can cut it first and then play!"

"Quickly post notices to reassure the people, restore local order, and at the same time organize people to register local residents and strictly investigate traitors."

Yang Ling quickly issued a series of effective orders, after all, Guangfu Qinghe Town had already done it once a few days ago, and now he is familiar with the road, but Huaiyin is a little bigger.

"Tuanza, we've captured something good." Li Changqing, the commander of the communications platoon, came out of the courtyard of the devil's headquarters in a hurry, his face full of joy.

"What good things were seized?" Yang Ling was also very curious.

Li Changqing pointed to a room behind him and said, "There are two radio stations inside, and the transmitters are intact, and we finally have a radio station." ”

Yang Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, they went deep into the occupied area to fight the little devils, because of the backwardness of the means of communication, they were almost cut off from the outside world, and they became alone.

Now that we have a radio, we will be able to receive telegrams from all sides, so that we can grasp the situation on the battlefield as a whole, and at the same time be able to cooperate with friendly forces.

Although it is said that only two small radio stations were captured, the significance is very significant, if you decipher the devil's message, then you can also grasp the initiative in the battle.

"As for the devil's code book, we must keep it, and when the time comes, we will transcribe it and send it to our intelligence department, and maybe we can decipher the devil's message." Yang Ling knows the importance of the codebook.

After Li Changqing heard Yang Ling's words, he replied a little embarrassedly: "Tuanzao, the code book was burned by the devil in advance......

Yang Ling was also stunned, and secretly said in his heart, the speed of the devil is so fast, but he quickly adjusted his mood, since it is burned, it will be burned, there is no perfect thing in life.

"It's okay, now I'll give you a task, power it out in a clear code, and spread the news that we have recovered Huaiyin County."

"Yes!" After Li Changqing listened, he couldn't wait to turn around and go into the house.

Although it is said that the Chinese army has recovered quite a few county towns throughout the country, it has been recovered by the main frontal field troops.

However, their recovery of a county town in the occupied area is of greater significance, not only to show the strength of the Chinese army behind enemy lines, but also to inspire the confidence of the military and civilians across the country in the war of resistance.

"Sir, Huaiyin's strategic position is important, if we make it clear and let the devils know that we have recovered here, I'm afraid they won't give up." Staff Officer Liu Sheng was worried.

Although the clear code electrification seems to be the same and can greatly boost the morale of the army and the people, it will also attract the crazy revenge of the devil.

After all, if the territory of Huaiyin is controlled by the guerrillas, the devils will be attacked by the guerrillas along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, whether they are transporting troops or grain, and the devils will definitely send troops to fight Huaiyin as soon as possible.

In the face of the staff's worries, Yang Ling didn't care: "Commander Yu Xuezhong is fighting with the little devils in Tai'an and Tongcheng on the northern front, and Chairman Han is also fighting with the devils in Yancheng, Gaoyou and other places on the southern front. ”

"Although this is the truth, but wouldn't this put us in danger, in case the devil sends heavy troops to attack, we are just fish on the board, and we will be slaughtered." Staff Officer Lei Xiong was still a little worried.

Yang Ling patted Staff Officer Lei Xiong's shoulder and said with a smile: "Staff Officer Lei, what we are holding in our hands is not a burning stick, how can it be fish and meat on the board, we are hard stones, if the devils dare to come, I promise to break their teeth!" ”

Although Lei Xiong felt that Yang Ling would make a big splash by doing this, it would attract the crazy revenge of the devil, but now that Yang Ling was in charge after all, he couldn't say anything.

"Sir, in this case, we have to prepare for a vicious battle, now the strength of our third guerrilla force is still too small, do you think we should recruit some in Huaiyin?" Lei Xiong changed the subject.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment and then nodded and said, "You are responsible for this matter, let the military propaganda team publicize more, put up more slogans, and recruit a thousand people first." ”

Yang Ling also knows the truth of being greedy and chewing too much, so he did not blindly expand the troops, after all, combat effectiveness is the foundation of the foothold, and the meal still has to be eaten bite by bite.

Now there are two infantry battalions, and another thousand recruits will be recruited, plus the puppet army captured earlier, and then it will be able to be reorganized into three battalions, which is more than one reinforced regiment.

Although officers such as officers have a certain degree of autonomy in recruiting soldiers in the occupied areas, it is not enough to have only people, and the pressure on equipment and logistics is too great, which will affect the overall combat effectiveness.

"Report!"

Just as Yang Ling was strategizing and controlling the overall situation in the newly occupied devil headquarters, a brother with dirty and broken clothes rushed over from outside the door.

"Speak—"

"Just now, a group of devils broke through from the south gate by car."

"What!" Yang Ling was a little annoyed when he heard that there was a devil breaking through.

Yang Ling only thought for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head: "Order, the first battalion commander Wang Huzi immediately led the sharp knife company to chase after him, be sure to leave this devil for me!" ”

"Our battalion commander, our battalion commander ... sacrificed ......" the brother who came to report the situation stretched out his sleeve and wiped his eyes, his voice crying.

Liu Sheng, Lei Xiong and the others were all stunned, and Yang Ling's heart sank immediately.

"Who did you say died?" Yang Ling stepped forward and stared at the brother and asked.

"That team of devils drove crazy to break through and broke through our interception, and the battalion commander took us to chase, who knows... Who knew that there was a heavy machine gun in the devil's car, the battalion commander, the battalion commander was shot as soon as he rushed up......"

Before the brother could finish his words, Yang Ling had already rushed out of the house like a tornado.
