When the captain of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouyi, was furious at the head of the realm, Yang Ling and his party also rushed back to Baoying at noon.

The dripping spring rain not only made the roads more muddy, but the devil's bombers also had to nest in the airport, which finally saved Yang Ling and them from bombing.

"Tell the brothers to change all their wet clothes, and at the same time have the cooking class get some ginger for the brothers to drink."

Yang Ling and the others braved the rain and marched for so many hours, and they were all soaked, and in this year of lack of medical treatment, the brothers fell ill in the rain, but it invisibly weakened the combat effectiveness of the troops.

What's more, now is the juncture when the devil is overwhelmed by heavy troops, and when the troops are in need of manpower, Yang Ling does not dare to have any negligence.

"The second battalion went out to the front line of Liujiawa to set up defenses to prevent the devil dog from jumping over the wall and braving the rain to attack."

The devil has now captured the head of the realm, and it is only half a day's distance from Baoying, although the road has been dug up and it is raining, but Yang Ling also has to guard against the little devil.

"Sir, it's been a night, you can sleep for a while."

Yang Ling also changed his wet clothes with his hands and feet, but he didn't stop, grabbed the head of the nest and went to the general finger, which provoked the orderly soldiers who sent Yang Ling food to look at it.

"Now that the devil has hit the head of the line, where is there still time to sleep, let the brothers of the communication platoon inform him, and let the officers above the company commander of each battalion go to the general command for a meeting."

Although he tossed for a night, Yang Ling was also full of tiredness, but now that the devil had hit him, he could still sleep in an instant.

"Yes!"

The orderly answered, and ran straight towards the house where the communications platoon lived.

Yang Ling walked and walked, gobbling up a few nests, and soon arrived at the general finger.

"Sir!"

Seeing Yang Ling walking into the general command, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain, walked up quickly with a telegram.

"What's going on?" Yang Ling looked at the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao and asked.

Deputy Commander Yuan Guangtao stepped forward and saluted Yang Ling and said: "The Theater Command has come to order, let us defend Baoying to the death, fight for every inch of land, not give an inch, and not take a step back, to ensure that the guerrilla zone does not fall into the hands of the enemy." ”

"Stick to the treasure?" Yang Ling frowned and took the telegram, looked at it at a glance, and quickly raised his head: "Immediately send a report to the theater headquarters, just say that the devils are pouring out of the nest and are menacing, and our three battalions have been wiped out and suffered heavy losses, so our department has decided to rely on the vast guerrilla zone and devils to maneuver, and not to defend one city and one place, I hope that all the commanders will understand the difficulties of our department." ”

Yang Ling has now witnessed the strength of the little devils, and it is difficult to compete head-on with the strength of their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps.

Therefore, Yang Ling decided that it was safest to use guerrilla warfare to deal with the devils, if it was to fight the devils head-on, then their northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps would probably end up with the same fate as the third battalion.

The most important thing is that in these plain areas of northern Jiangsu, there is no danger to defend at all, and it is definitely not a wise move to carry out a decisive battle with the devil in such an unfavorable situation.

"Sir, is it appropriate to send it out like this, this is disobedience." After hearing Yang Ling's words, Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao hesitated.

Yang Ling comforted: "I think the chiefs will understand our difficulties, go and send a telegram, I will bear the responsibility if something happens." ”

"Yes, then I'll go." After Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran towards the confidential room.

Soon, the officers above the company level of each battalion were notified and hurried to the general command, and on the way they had heard that the third battalion was almost gone, and all of them had extremely solemn faces.

Yang Ling and his five combat battalions and one "patriotic battalion" under the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the "patriotic battalion" was stationed in Huaiyin, and the other five battalions were all acting together with the general commander.

Now that Shen Biao's third battalion has been wiped out on the battlefield on the southern front, Wu Changqing's second battalion has been transferred to the southern defense, and only the company commanders and battalion commanders of the fourth and fifth battalions can come to the meeting.

Although there were only three battalion company commanders, there were more than 20 people, and the small conference room was packed.

"I'm here to first brief you on the situation, just last night, the commander of the third battalion, Shen Biao, and the brothers of the third battalion were almost all killed, Shen Biao was also killed in the head of the realm, and the deputy battalion commander Luo Feng was missing, and the head of the realm has been lost."

Yang Ling also knew that paper could not contain the fire, so instead of hiding it, it was better to tell everyone the situation directly, so as not to guess each other and cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

"Ah, Battalion Commander Shen is dead?"

"There are 800 brothers in the third battalion, how can they be wiped out."

"Little devil of dog day, this revenge is not a gentleman!"

“......”

Although some officers heard some gossip on the way here, there were still many dramas that I didn't know, and hearing Yang Ling's announcement at this moment still caused a lot of waves in the conference room.

The brothers did not believe it at first, but it immediately turned into anger, and most of the officers and men of several battalions under the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps were recruited from the local Northern Jiangsu and Central Soviet Unions.

Many of the brothers are from the same village, or even relatives, and they have trained together and fought devils together, and they have formed an unbreakable love for their robes.

Now that they heard that most of the brothers in the third battalion were sacrificed under the guns of the little devils, these officers were filled with righteous indignation, their fists squeaked, and they couldn't wait to grab their guns now to find the little devils to take revenge.

"Let's be quiet."

Looking at the brothers who were talking about each other, Yang Ling opened his mouth to silence them.

"The brothers of the third battalion did not disgrace our northern Jiangsu corps, nor did they disgrace our Chinese soldiers, they fought bravely and died well, although the brothers of the third battalion were defeated, but the little devils also suffered heavy losses."

Hearing that the three battalions were defeated in a heroic battle, the brothers were in awe of the brothers who had died in the three battalions.

"I know that everyone is eager to kill the little devil to take revenge now, and I want to, but I ask you brothers to calm down." Yang Ling said slowly.

"According to the intelligence, the little devil can be said to be out of the nest this time, and the troops going north have four infantry brigades, an artillery brigade, and at least two battalions of puppet troops, and the devil is menacing."

Hearing that the devil's strength was so strong, the officers all gasped, and they knew very well in their hearts what was behind so many devils, it was crushing and absolute strength.

Although their Northern Jiangsu Corps has developed strong soldiers in the past year, it is still a little powerless to confront so many little devils.

"I can understand the mood of our brothers to take revenge, and I also hope to go to the little devil for revenge, but as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, if we fight hard with the little devil now, we will suffer in the end, so now we can't fight hard with the little devil."

"Sir, won't you take revenge?" Some of the brothers did not understand.

Yang Ling immediately retorted: "Bullshit! Whoever says that there is no revenge, and whoever forgets hatred is betrayal! ”

"Revenge is to be avenged, but we must pay attention to ways and methods, now that the devil is strong, let's rush forward to take revenge like this, we will only become a living target for the little devil, not only can we not take revenge, but we will also put more brothers into it."

Yang Ling looked around at the brothers and said: "In view of the strength of the devils this time, I decided that we should avoid their edge this time, not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, evacuate the towns, rely on the vast rural areas, and carry out guerrilla warfare and sports warfare with the little devils, accumulate small victories into big victories, gradually consume the devils, and force the devils to withdraw from our guerrilla areas." ”

"Our combat mission this time is not to eliminate how many devils, the main goal is to crush the devil's attack, as long as the devils are repulsed, it will be considered victory."

Yang Ling also knew that now that the devils had so many troops pressed over, it was impossible to destroy the devil's army no matter how ambitious they were, and now as long as they could crush the devil's attack and force the devil to return to Gaoyou, everything would be fine.
