When the devil's plane disappeared into the sky, the brothers looked back and saw that the entire Baoying had become a ruin and rubble.

"Little devil, my ancestor is your ancestor!"

Seeing the city that had just been beaten turn into this tragic scene in an instant, the brothers' eyes were red and angry roars rang out.

"There is a kind of fighting bayonet, and the cowards who don't have the courage to know the bombing! Bad seeds! ”

"Come back! Don't run! ”

A brother pulled the trigger in the direction of the devil's plane, and the whistling bullets drilled into the sky with the anger of the brothers.

Outside the city, the brothers cursed angrily, and the survivors of the bombardment inside the city cried and cried out for their relatives buried in the collapsed houses in the rubble.

Many of the dusty survivors stood in the streets as if they had lost their minds, looking at their homes in ruins, and soon began to cry.

"Mother, mother!"

"Child, my child ......"

Men, women, and children were crying and crying, and the ruins covered in gunsmoke were full of lost souls.

Yang Ling didn't expect the little devil to be so frustrated, and he actually bombarded the residential area of Baoying indiscriminately, even the innocent people were not spared, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth! I can't wait to shoot down all the devil planes.

But thinking of the burning, killing and looting in Nanjing, Wuhan, and Xuzhou devils all the way, countless innocent people fell under the butcher's knife of the devils, they had already killed people like hemp, and now they are just continuing the atrocities and adding a blood feud!

"The second battalion, the fourth battalion, the medical team went into the city to save people! One battalion and five battalions can go south to face the battle! ”

Faced with the city that was bombed into ruins and the innocent people who suffered heavy casualties, the Northern Jiangsu Corps, which was about to go south to meet the battle, had to detach a part of its officers and soldiers to turn back to the city to save people from the ruins.

As soldiers, they defended their homes and the country for the common people, and now the common people were bombed by devils beside them and suffered heavy casualties, and every brother had a raging anger in their hearts.

Groups of officers and soldiers rushed into the ruins of Baoying to start rescuing people, and Yuan Guangtao, the deputy commander-in-chief, stayed behind to rescue the injured people and help them settle down.

Yang Ling personally led the first battalion of blacksmiths, and Liu Zhi's fifth battalion went south with monstrous anger to meet the devil troops advancing north.

When the formation of the devil soldiers was bombarding the innocent people of Baoying County on the battlefield of the northern front, the devils of the southern line were advancing north along the highway.

This time, the devils can be said to have poured out, and only one Beiye Infantry Brigade remained near Gaoyou to guard against the guerrilla forces in the direction of Dongtai and Taizhou, while the other four infantry brigades and one artillery brigade were pressed north on the whole line.

Since the beginning of last winter, the Northern Jiangsu Corps has successively captured Huaiyin, the head of the world, and hit Gaoyou, and its strength has grown rapidly, and now it has taken down Baoying with a false move.

Although there are still many Chinese armies in the Jiangsu jurisdiction of the Sulu Theater, and there are also those whose strength is stronger than that of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the devils have been furious because of a series of attacks by the Northern Soviet Corps.

Therefore, now the Northern Jiangsu Corps has become a thorn in the side of the devils, and they are now going to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and they want to completely eliminate the Northern Jiangsu Corps that have disgraced them, in order to regain their face, and at the same time put pressure on the wavering Chinese armies to throw them into the command of the Nanjing puppet government.

"Eliminate the Northern Jiangsu Corps within half a month, otherwise military law will be punished!"

Nanjing's Devil Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters also gave Watanabe Shou, the commander of the Devil Detachment, a death order, asking him to eliminate the Northern Jiangsu Corps within a time limit.

The previous detachment commander of the devil took responsibility because an infantry brigade under his command was folded in the hands of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and committed suicide by breaking his belly, leaving the base camp without pursuit.

Now the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi does not want to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, so he has transferred almost all the combat troops this time, that is, to press north with a thunderous force and completely wipe out the Northern Jiangsu Corps.

The Yamazaki Infantry Brigade of the Devils was the vanguard of the whole detachment, and more than 1,000 devils armed to the teeth rode on side three-wheeled motorcycles, four-wheeled trucks, and bicycles, and quickly marched northward with lightning speed, aiming directly at the head of the boundary.

As soon as the devils moved in Gaoyou City, Shen Biao, the battalion commander of the third battalion in charge of the feint attack on the southern front, got the news, and immediately received a telegram from the headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Army, that is, to block the devils advancing north at all costs to the south of the Jieshou and buy time for the main force to go south to meet the war.

Shen Biao, the commander of the third battalion, is also a veteran who rolled out of the pile of dead, so he naturally knows the meaning of this order.

If they were not able to hold back the devils, once the devils broke through the first line of the realm, then the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Corps that went south from Baoying would have to fight the devils in a flat field.

And as long as they block the devils, wait until the main force going south enters the pre-repaired field fortifications, relying on the huge defense system in depth, dragging the little devils to death.

Therefore, whether this battle can smash the powerful offensive of the devil soldiers depends on whether they can hold back the devils and buy time for the troops going south to arrange the defense line.

"The 8th guerrilla detachment has been rebuilt."

"The 11th Guerrilla Group was reorganized."

"The 51st Guerrilla Combat Squad is back!"

"Missing ...... of the 44th Guerrilla Group"

"The sixty-first guerrilla group lost six men."

"The 32nd Guerrilla Detachment was completely annihilated......"

The staff officers of the battalion headquarters kept reporting the list of those who had returned or disappeared one by one to Shen Biao, the commander of the third battalion.

In order to achieve the effect of the feint attack on the southern front, half of the brothers of their three battalions were spread out as combat groups and combat detachments, and launched a fierce offensive against the Japanese puppet army in an area of 20 miles.

And now that the feint military operation has ended, less than half of the people who have been able to return to the building have been successfully restored, and most of them are like stones sinking into the sea, and there is no more news.

If the battle is won, it is possible for these scattered troops to gather back, but now the devil's army has marched north.

Regardless of whether those brothers were dead or alive, Shen Biao no longer had time to wait for those brothers who had not yet returned to the building, and he had to complete the difficult task of blocking with the only remaining troops.

"How many fighters do we have in total?"

Shen Biao didn't have the heart to listen to those lists, so he asked the staff officer of the battalion headquarters straight to the point.

The "less than 600 ......" staff officer's face was also extremely solemn.

"Battalion commander, there are five or six thousand devils." The staff officer reminded with a pale face.

"Isn't it just five or six thousand devils, tell the brothers, don't kill anyone else, it's enough for one person to kill ten, our three battalions are all iron-clad heroes! How can you be afraid of the little man! ”

"Six hundred heroes, so you can stop the devil for a day."

Shen Biao confidently stood up and ordered: "Order the troops to immediately enter the various blocking positions, attrition layer by layer, flank the devils, and delay the northward advance of the devils."

"Yes!"

"Then don't you wait for Deputy Battalion Commander Luo and them?" The staff officer took two steps and then turned to ask.

Shen Biao waved his hand and said, "Don't wait for them, if they catch up, they can still eat meat, if they can't come back, then wait for soup."

Deputy battalion commander Luo Feng led the troops to launch a feint attack on the devil, and he has not come back yet, it must be more than lucky, but now that the enemy is present, although the battalion commander Shen Biao knows, he can't show it and affect the morale of the army.

"Lao Luo, you have hid a clean and let Lao Tzu carry thousands of devils alone, you are really fucking unrighteous."

After the staff officer went out, the battalion commander Shen Biao muttered to himself, his face no longer had the confidence he had just now, he knew that this was a battle to the death.
