"We previously disobeyed the orders of the theater command and abandoned Baoying to evacuate to the countryside to fight guerrillas, which caused the current situation to deteriorate, and this is the lesson of blood." After the deputy captain Yuan Guangtao looked at everyone, he took the lead in speaking.

"It's not too late to make amends, and what we should do now is not to discuss what to do here, but to immediately send a report to the theater command and act in accordance with the orders of the theater command."

Yuan Guangtao, deputy commander of the command, was sent to the Northern Jiangsu Corps by the Theater Command, and he had always been dissatisfied with Yang Ling's dispersion of the troops to fight guerrilla warfare against the orders of the Anti-Japanese War Command.

"I don't agree with your suggestion, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, rather than asking the commanders of the war zone from afar, it is better to rely on ourselves."

Staff Officer Lei Xiong added: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the Theater Command is far away in the Lunan Mountains, and it is easy to misjudge and issue wrong orders because it does not understand our situation, so I suggest that we should find our own way, instead of relying on the Theater Command, and consult the Theater Command for everything." ”

"You are the commander of the war zone, and you are a warlord!" After hearing the words of staff officer Lei Xiong, Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao was stunned again.

"I am doing a good job, no matter how you buckle my hat, I am for the good of my brothers, and I have a clear conscience." Staff Officer Lei Xiong is frank and swaying.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Liu Zhi, the commander of the fifth battalion, hurriedly came out to play a round.

"I think the deputy chief captain and Staff Officer Lei have a point, we now have to report the predicament we are facing to the commanders of the theater, and we must also adjust our tactics according to the actual situation."

"I said Lao Liu, what do I mean when I say you, who do you support?" Seeing the fifth battalion commander Liu Zhi come out and thin mud, staff officer Lei Xiong was dissatisfied.

"This, this makes sense...... Fifth Battalion Commander Liu Zhi said with a wry smile.

"As for whether or not to act according to the orders of the theater command, that is a matter for later, and our top priority now is to rescue those brothers who have been exposed and are being chased and intercepted by devils, because they are in danger of being surrounded by devils at any time." Yang Ling pointed out the crux of the problem to the point.

It was precisely because of the calculations of the little devils that many units under the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu were exposed.

Some of the companies were surrounded by devils and had been exhausted, but some of the brothers felt that the situation was not good and hurriedly retreated.

But it has been exposed, and it is not so easy to hide it again, the little devils are now chasing after their butts, and more troops are chasing and intercepting them,

Now the devil troops who have entered the territory of Baoying have a full detachment with strong troops, and these brothers who have been bitten by devils may be surrounded and eliminated by devils at any time, so it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu.

So now Yang Ling and the others have to take action to rescue these companies that were being pursued by the little devils from the tiger's mouth, otherwise they will become more dangerous as time goes by.

"I agree to save those brothers who are being chased by the devils first, we can't just watch them being chased and eliminated by the devils, they are all our brothers who came out of the trenches." Yang Ling's words aroused everyone's approval.

"But we now have only one battalion of troops in our hands that can be used, and the rest of the companies are chased and beaten by devils, or they will suffer heavy losses, how to save this, the devil soldiers are several times more than ours, and the weapons are much stronger than us." Staff Officer Du Jiang said with a solemn expression.

Now those troops who have been bitten by the devils are running all over the mountains, and the devils are dispatching a large number of troops to surround and intercept them, and the situation is extremely grim.

"What I'm worried about is that if our troops go up, let alone save people, I'm afraid we will even have to get in." Some people are worried.

"But those are our brothers, we can't die without help." The problem was placed in front of the officers, and they were all in trouble.

"I'm afraid we can't rely on our strength now, we have to contact the friendly forces around us to see if they can lend a hand and pull us along." Staff Officer Liu Sheng made a suggestion.

Liu Sheng's suggestion made everyone's eyes light up, and now it seemed that there was only this way, but soon, they frowned again.

"The closest unit to us is Yang Zhonghua's Eighth Security Brigade, but their relationship with the little devil is a little ambiguous, and now Nanjing is vigorously wooing, and now their attitude is not clear, and now it is a little difficult to let them reinforce now."

"Anyway, they haven't surrendered to the enemy now, and they can be regarded as our allies, no matter what, let's try first." Someone proposed.

"Then send someone to the Eighth Security Brigade to contact us, if they can send troops to contain the devils, our pressure can be greatly reduced." Deputy captain Yuan Guangtao said.

"Let's not expect too much from the Eighth Brigade, even if they send people to contain the devils, I'm afraid their strength will be limited." Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said.

Because the opponent of the 8th Security Brigade is now an infantry brigade of the 13th Brigade mixed with the devil's infantry, which is the Yamaguchi Brigade stationed in Huaiyin at the beginning.

Once the Eighth Security Brigade is transferred on a large scale, then the devil's Yamaguchi Brigade will probably not be idle, and will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

After hearing Yang Ling's words, everyone became extremely depressed, could it be that they watched those exposed brothers being surrounded and eliminated by devils?

Obviously, they don't want to see this happen, after all, they are all brothers rolling over on the battlefield, and the feeling of fighting side by side is difficult to part.

"Don't be too pessimistic, it's not the worst yet." Looking at the demoralized crowd, Yang Ling had to speak with relief.

Not the worst? Could it be that those brothers who were pursued by the devils were all wiped out by the devils? The officers all looked at Yang Ling with great puzzlement.

Yang Ling spread out the map, beckoned everyone to come over and said: "Look, now the main force of the devils has all been driven to Luduo Town, near Baima Lake and Caodian Town, to surround the brothers over there, and now there are heavy troops, and it is only a matter of time before our brothers are surrounded." ”

"If we force the rescue now, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to save the brothers, but I am afraid that we will even have to fold ourselves in." Yang Ling continued.

What Yang Ling said was clear to everyone, which is why they were so anxious.

"Since we can't save our brother by going there, then we won't go."

As soon as Yang Ling's words came out, he immediately caused an uproar, don't you save it?

"Sir, it's all our brothers over there, we can't die without help." The officers were anxious, and many of their acquaintances were there.

"Yes, sir, you can't help me."

"Don't be impatient, I just said no, not that I won't help." Yang Ling waved his hand and quieted everyone down.

"It's all our brothers, of course we have to save them, but we also have to pay attention to ways and means to save people, isn't it true that the devils have sent a large number of troops to surround the brothers over there, there are not many devils left in Baoying, so let's copy their back roads and force the devils to come back." Yang Ling pointed at Baoying and said.

"Hit Baoying?" Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Yang Ling to be such a rescue.

Yang Ling added: "Let's call it encircling Wei to save Zhao, once the devil comes back to help, then the brothers who were surrounded and intercepted over there can take the opportunity to get out." ”
