"Threat! This Yang Ling is simply bold! Did he really think that without his Northern Jiangsu Corps, our 89th Army would not fight?! ”

In the office of the provincial chairman of the temporary residence of the provincial capital in Xinghua, Chairman Han roared loudly and tore to shreds the telegram handed over by the staff officers, and the scolding caused the staff officers of all departments in the courtyard to probe their brains, wondering what had caused Chairman Han to be so angry.

Because of the food shortage crisis, Yang Ling had to ask the confidential room to write a tightly worded telegram and send it to Xinghua, in order to obtain food support, of course, he did not hesitate to use the northern Jiangsu corps to withdraw north as a threat.

But who is Chairman Han, who is the dignified chairman of a province, and he is also the commander of the 89th Army, in the face of the threat vaguely revealed in the telegram of an officer who is several grades lower than him, where can he endure it, and he immediately became furious.

Of course, Yang Ling also knew that his threat might offend Chairman Han, but he had no choice, he couldn't fight without food, and all his battle plans would be in vain.

If you give up fighting the devils in the water network area between Gaoyou and Baoying, it is tantamount to giving up the geographical advantage and giving up the strategic initiative, and the passive defense will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Yang Ling is also desperate, he must fight with the devils in this area, even if he can't completely annihilate the devils, then at least he must hit the devils hard and make them unable to go north.

As long as you survive this winter and wait for the Huaiyin region to stabilize and develop, then the soldiers will be strong and strong, and you will not be afraid of devils.

"Commander, what made you so angry?"

As soon as the chief of staff came back from outside, he heard Chairman Han Deqin's roar, waved his hand to let the staff officer retreat, and said with a smile.

Seeing that the chief of staff was back, Chairman Han, who was angry, also wanted to find a way to talk, and angrily said the truth of the matter.

"The captain of the Northern Jiangsu Corps surnamed Yang, a hairy boy who has not grown all his hair, dares to threaten Lao Tzu, you say that Lao Tzu is not angry!"

After hearing this, the chief of staff also muttered: "I have heard of this captain of Northern Jiangsu, it turned out to be from the 74th Army, it was not a rotation training that came to our Sulu theater, I didn't expect that in just a few months, he would be able to play such a good situation, and it is also impressive."

"My chief of staff, this kid surnamed Yang threatened me and asked for money and food, why did you say good things for him." Chairman Han said angrily.

The chief of staff was not in a hurry, he pulled a chair and sat down and said: "Don't be impatient, I think since he wants food and ammunition, give it to him."

"My chief of staff, didn't you burn your brain, you can't open this opening, then cats and dogs will come to ask for food and ammunition, will I give them all? No, no, no, I can't give it, I have to send a telegram to Commander Yu to report the threat to the chief surnamed Yang, so that the kid surnamed Yang can learn a little lesson! Otherwise, Lao Tzu would not be able to swallow this breath. ”

The chief of staff couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head when he saw Chairman Han's childish mind.

"Junza, this is the information I just got, it's not too late for you to take a look before making a decision." The chief of staff took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and handed it to Chairman Han, who was still angry.

When Chairman Han saw the chief of staff's solemn appearance, he took the letter suspiciously, glanced at his eyes, and his complexion immediately changed.

"Is the information reliable?" Chairman Han quickly became serious and stared at the chief of staff and asked.

The chief of staff nodded: "This is news from a latent insider, absolutely reliable."

After receiving the affirmative answer from the chief of staff, Chairman Han couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up and paced back and forth in the room to think.

"Seven brigades, this little devil is willing to pay for it!" Chairman Han hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and muttered to himself.

Although they knew that at least two captains of the devils had pressed over from the south, they didn't pay attention to it, after all, they still have a brigade in Xinghua, relying on the terrain, they can also fight, after all, Taizhou still has the Sulu guerrilla corps to contain it.

But now this information makes Chairman Han have to pay attention to it, according to the intelligence, the devil actually sent seven brigades of troops to the north, even if there is a Sulu guerrilla corps in Taizhou to contain them, they can hardly avoid a bloody battle.

"In addition, in Yancheng, the devils in the Dongtai area are mixed into the 12th and 13th brigades, and the devils are menacing this time, I'm afraid the plan is very big." The chief of staff is also worried.

"The main force of our 89th Army is now stuck in the area of Yancheng and Dongtai, and once the seven brigades of devils who are assembling Gaoyou invade the north, it will be difficult for us to resist, and I am more worried about causing a chain reaction, if we can't hold an opening, then it will lead to a big rout, and then not only the Soviet Union and China, but even the northern Jiangsu will not be able to keep the ......"

Chairman Han did not know the seriousness of the matter, he was the provincial chairman, if the whole territory of Jiangsu fell, would he, the provincial chairman, have good fruits to eat, Lao Jiang would not have to take the opportunity to remove him, maybe he would be killed like the chairman of Shandong Province.

"So now the Subei Corps that is still near the head of the boundary can't retreat north, once they withdraw, the seven brigades of the devil will drive straight in, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

The chief of staff paused and continued to add: "So now as long as they can fight to the death with the devils and give them food and ammunition, what I am most worried about now is that they will not dare to fight after knowing the strength of the devil's troops, then it will be troublesome."

Although Chairman Han was extremely unwilling in his heart, he also felt that the chief of staff was right, and now that the Northern Soviet Army had become a decisive force, they must be left behind to defend against devils, and they should not be allowed to return to the north.

"Damn, I can't swallow this breath in my heart." In the face of reality, Chairman Han still felt panicked.

The chief of staff was relieved: "As a military seat, why bother with a young man, besides, when the battle is over, I'm afraid there won't be much left of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and how can you handle them at that time It's not a matter of military seats."

"Then this time it's cheaper for the kid surnamed Yang, dare to threaten Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu remember it first!" Chairman Han said angrily.

"What about the allocation of food and ammunition?" The chief of staff asked tentatively.

Chairman Han waved his hand and said: "You go and arrange it, but you also have to make it clear to the person surnamed Yang, I can give me food and ammunition, but he must also nail me like a nail, if you dare to let the devil go north, you will be punished for disobeying the military order!"

This is equivalent to blocking Yang Ling's retreat, and they can only fight with the devil in a bloody battle, and have no choice.

When the call back from the provincial government was delivered to Yang Ling, Yang Ling also knew that a severe test for him and the Northern Jiangsu Corps was coming.

If they can fight a beautiful battle this time, their Northern Jiangsu Corps will be famous in the Sulu Theater, then they will also be given priority in recruiting soldiers and allocating materials in the future, and they will develop and grow rapidly, becoming a sharp blade embedded behind enemy lines, and they can bleed devils at any time.

But once defeated, he and the Northern Jiangsu Corps will be in danger of annihilation, and perhaps all of them will be martyred and buried in this land.

But Yang Ling's eyes were firm, without the slightest fear, as a soldier, the horse leather shroud that died on the battlefield was the highest honor, if he could pull hundreds of thousands of devils on his back before he died, it would be worth it!
