The power of the people is strong, and under the mobilization of the guerrillas, stretcher teams, transport teams, ambulance teams and other teams of the people to support the operation have been set up one after another.

In addition to these front-line units, they also spontaneously organized themselves to assist the militia in patrolling and setting up sentry posts in their villages to prevent enemy agents from infiltrating and sabotaging.

Yang Ling and the others had previously carried out a purge operation against the traitors and plainclothes teams in various villages, but they couldn't prevent people who were hiding deeper and became fish that slipped through the net.

But now that the people have been mobilized, even those who are hiding will not dare to come out and move, unless they want to be beaten to death.

Under the vigorous propaganda of the propaganda team, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people in the rear was high, and the troops of the two battalions led by Yang Ling also left Xiaowangzhuang and marched in the direction of Qinghe Town.

Yang Ling's temporary headquarters was also moved to the village of Xiaohekou, where he would be responsible for directing the guerrilla forces to fight the invading devils.

"The second battalion is resting in concealment, and the first battalion is a platoon unit, relying on the favorable terrain along the main road to build a blocking position."

The villagers of Xiaohekou have been evacuated and retreated to other village chiefs, which have been completely taken over by Huzi's guard platoon, and Yang Ling's headquarters is in a small farm yard.

"All roads are as damaged as possible, and the devil's car movement is delayed."

"The explosives we comprehend should also be used, made into five-pound or ten-pound explosive bags, and used when it is critical to put more gravel and iron."

"The reconnaissance force closely monitors the movements of the devils and the puppet army, and reports it as soon as there is news."

……

Yang Ling soon issued a series of orders, and the guerrilla officers and soldiers who arrived at Xiaohekou also moved quickly.

Yang Ling didn't plan to fight a positional battle with the little devil, he just wanted to consume the devil's vital strength through continuous blocking along the way, and at the same time achieve the effect of training.

And his real killer weapon is the second battalion troops, when they stick to the main force of the little devils head-on, the second battalion takes the opportunity to jump to the outside line to fight the devil's back road and threaten Qinghe Town.

After all, a place like Qinghe Town is not only a stronghold of devils, but also a military supply base, and it is impossible for them to rescue without dividing their troops, which gives Yang Ling an opportunity for them to take advantage of, whether it is to encircle the point to send reinforcements or to ambush halfway, it depends on the creation of devils.

In the early winter, the wilderness was bleak, and the fields on both sides of the road were empty except for the cold wind, while the officers and men of the guerrillas were busy laying mines, digging roads, and digging blocking positions along the entire road.

"Dig the foxhole a little deeper, and get some reed poles to put outside as cover......

The veteran knife is patrolling a blocking position with a 79 rifle on his back, and a squad of guerrilla officers and soldiers will be in charge of it.

"Sir, is the little devil's marksmanship really that accurate?"

Li Dequan, a recruit who was on the battlefield for the first time, seemed very excited, and he worked extremely hard to dig the trenches.

Li Dequan was the first batch to take the initiative to sign up for the guerrillas, but his family also suffered retaliation from the plainclothes team, and the family was wiped out, so he hated the devil and traitor very much.

"The devil usually trains to shoot thousands of bullets, do you say you can't be sure?" Daozi saw Li Dequan asking, and simply stopped to explain.

"But don't be afraid, according to the training taught you to fight, aim and then fight, you kill him first, even if he is good at marksmanship, isn't it useless, are you right."

"Yes, I will fight hard and kill a few more devils!" Li Dequan said murderously.

"Okay, learn more from your squad leader." The knife patted Li Dequan's shoulder, and he swayed towards the next blocking position.

The officers and men of the guerrillas were all from the crops, and they were all too familiar with digging and digging holes, and soon the doctrine leading to the guerrilla zone was destroyed.

Hidden blocking positions were set up along many streams and small rivers, and as long as the sappers of the little devils dared to build bridges, they would be shot.

The roads that allowed cars to cross were cut off, and the brothers felt unsafe, so they diverted water from the canals that irrigated the fields nearby, turning the entire area into a swamp.

The brothers were too busy to do so, and when the people in the nearby villages learned that the brothers were going to fight the devils, they also came over with hoes and irons to help.

In just one day, the entire road leading to the guerrilla zone was destroyed, and countless trap mines were formed, even in the rivers where motorboats could pass.

Wooden stakes were driven in the river, fishing nets were pulled, and as long as the devil's motorboat dared to come, it would definitely not be able to go long, and mobile guerrilla groups were also arranged on both sides of the river, and they were the best at shooting cold guns.

The veterans and recruits went into battle together, and before the devils arrived in the guerrilla zone, Yang Ling and they were already waiting for them.

If it had been such a large-scale action of the guerrillas at this time in the past, the traitors would have reported to the devils a long time ago, and the devils would have launched targeted actions.

But since Yang Ling eliminated the traitors and plainclothes teams in the guerrilla area with an iron fist, whoever dares to take the initiative to send a letter to the devil now is looking for death.

The guerrilla area was run by Yang Ling like an iron bucket, so the devils didn't know anything about what Yang Ling was doing, and they still prepared to carry out the operation of clearing the guerrillas according to their predetermined plan.

This time, the Devil's Brigade stationed in the county under the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Devils sent more than 300 Devils to Qinghe Town to support the operation.

The commander in charge of the encirclement and suppression guerrillas in Qinghe Town was a young man named Kuroda Ichiro sent by the brigade headquarters, who was wounded and became a cripple during the Battle of Changsha, so he was transferred to the rear garrison.

Kuroda Ichiro previously served in the front-line field troops, and although he was only a squadron leader, he was good in terms of command ability and tactical literacy.

After being transferred to the 13th Infantry Mixed Brigade, he was promoted to a staff officer and served in the Huaiyin Garrison Brigade, far away from the smoke and bullets on the battlefield, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

So this time, the garrison squadron in Qinghe Town was beaten by the guerrillas and did not dare to go out, so he took the initiative to ask for battle, brought two squadrons of devils to reinforce him, and was appointed commander to be responsible for the encirclement and suppression this time.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, reinforcements are finally coming, and the devil Sadao Kasai is also very enthusiastic, and Kuroda Ichiro's hospitality of good wine and meat after their arrival makes Kuroda Ichiro not pursue the disadvantage of Sadao Kasai's law and order.

After all, eating people with a soft mouth and short hands, although Sadao Kasai served as the captain of the garrison squadron in Qinghe Town for a short time, he looted a lot of good things and gave some to Kuroda Ichiro, so that Kuroda Ichiro also tasted the sweetness of being sent out to carry out missions.

Now not only does he not have to fight on the battlefield in the rain of bullets, but he can also reap the benefits, Kuroda Ichiro is still quite satisfied with this time to Qinghe Town, he didn't care about the guerrillas at all, just a group of rabble.

Kuroda Ichiro faced the warm hospitality of Sadao Kasai and rested in Qinghe Town for two days, but he did not forget the purpose of this trip, and after eating and drinking, it was time to go out to eliminate a few guerrillas, but he didn't know that Yang Ling and they had been waiting for the rabbit for a long time.
