"Tuk tuk tuk - tuk tuk - "

The Lunan Mountains were still shrouded in a layer of frost, and the door of Commander Yu Xuezhong's room of the Sulu Theater Headquarters was knocked on in the middle of the night.

"Who?"

Commander Yu Xuezhong, who was sleeping in a daze, was awakened by the knock on the door, and asked outside the door with his throat in his voice.

"Commander Yu, Yuan Guangtao of the Northern Jiangsu Corps is in an emergency!" The voice of Wang Jingxuan, chief of staff of the theater, came from outside the door.

Hearing the voice of Wang Jingxuan, chief of staff outside the door, and then hearing the telegram from Yuan Guangtao, the deputy chief of the corps stationed in northern Jiangsu, Commander Yu Xuezhong suddenly sobered up for the most part, and hurriedly grabbed his clothes and got up.

These days, Wang Jingwei has been making a lot of trouble in Nanjing, constantly sending people to various places to persuade him to surrender, and the Sulu Theater is Wang Jingwei's key target.

As the commander-in-chief of the theater, Commander Yu Xuezhong also constantly asked all units to persist in the War of Resistance and must not be confused by Wang Jingwei.

Now in the middle of the night, I heard that it was the news of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and Commander Yu Xuezhong could no longer be calm.

Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain of the corps, is equivalent to a supervisor they sent to the Northern Jiangsu Corps to contain Yang Ling, and now he sends a telegram in the middle of the night, could it be that the Northern Jiangsu Corps wants to vote for Nanjing?

Commander Yu Xuezhong's brain was spinning rapidly, and he knew that once the Northern Jiangsu Corps threw in Nanjing, the western front of the Sulu Theater would be finished.

Now Yang Ling's Northern Jiangsu Corps is guarding the line from the head of the boundary to Huaiyin, once the door here is opened.

The heavy troops of the devils can drive along the Gaohuai Highway to Lunan for a long time, and the canal can provide the devils with a steady stream of food and ammunition support.

At that time, the 89th Army in the central and eastern regions of Jiangsu and the Sulu Guerrilla Corps in Taizhou in the south will be surrounded by devils, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"What happened? Did the Northern Jiangsu team vote for Nanjing? ”

Speculation is speculation, after Commander Yu Xuezhong hurriedly opened the door, he saw Wang Jingxuan, chief of staff of the theater with an anxious face, and hurriedly asked.

"No, they didn't vote for Nanjing." Chief of Staff Wang Jingxuan handed a telegram to Commander Yu Xuezhong and said, "They want to fight Baoying." ”

Hearing Wang Jingxuan say that he did not vote for Nanjing, Commander Yu Xuezhong breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that the Northern Jiangsu Corps was going to fight Baoying, his heart hung again.

Is Bao Ying so easy to fight?

The devils have occupied it for so long, and they have built countless reinforced concrete fortifications, don't steal chickens and rice.

Moreover, Gaoyou on the southern front is still stationed with heavy soldiers of devils, once they take advantage of the Northern Jiangsu Corps to attack Baoying in the back, the Northern Jiangsu Corps will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy on the back.

Although Commander Yu Xuezhong's headquarters is hidden in the Lunan Mountains, he is well aware of the situation in various regions.

"Hurry up and order them to retreat, it's just nonsense, if they are entangled in Baoying, and Gaoyou's devils go north again, then they will fall into a situation where they will be attacked on their backs!" After seeing the message, Commander Yu Xuezhong's face was a little angry.

Chief of Staff Wang Jingxuan shook his head solemnly and said, "I'm afraid it's too late now, this telegram is from Baoying, maybe they are about to fight now." ”

"Nonsense, this is simply a prelude to the first and then the prelude, have you taken me, the commander of the theater, into account?" In the face of the unauthorized actions of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, Commander Yu Xuezhong's heart was panicked.

"What's going on?"

At this time, Lieutenant General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, and General Shen Honglie, deputy commander of the theater, also rushed over after receiving the news.

When they heard that Yang Ling and they wanted to eat Baoying just by relying on their lone army, they were also taken aback by Yang Ling's boldness.

"Good boy, you're fat enough."

Deputy Commander Shen Honglie held the telegram, shocked and full of admiration at the same time, and sighed in his heart, he was really too unafraid of the lord.

"I said Brother Shen, when has this been, are you still joking here, if the Northern Jiangsu Corps loses heavy losses in Baoying and loses its combat effectiveness, then what will we do to resist the Watanabe detachment of the devils who go north from Gaoyou? At that time, I am afraid that the entire war situation in Jiangsu will be eroded and difficult to clean up. ”

Hearing the reminder of the commander of the theater of operations, Yu Xuezhong, everyone's faces became solemn, and they all looked at the telegram with their mouths, and fell into a short silence.

"Now there is only one way, that is, to immediately remove Yang Ling from his post and escort him to the theater command for interrogation, let Yuan Guangtao immediately take over as the captain of northern Jiangsu, and command the troops to withdraw from the battle immediately to avoid greater losses and let the situation get out of control." Chief of Staff Wang Jingxuan said after thinking about it.

They are now worried that the Northern Jiangsu Corps will not be able to attack Baoying without their strength, because if Baoying suffers heavy losses, then no one will stop Gaoyou's devils.

Now the situation in the occupied area is complicated, they are also carefully maintaining the situation, and they will burn high incense without being beaten by the devils, and now Yang Ling dares to take the initiative to attack, which makes them all big.

If this one is not good, it will be a deal of losing his wife and breaking his soldiers, not to mention that Gaoyou can't beat it, even the head of the realm, Huaiyin may not be able to hold it.

"I'm in favor of letting Yuan Guangtao take over Yang Ling's command of the troops to withdraw, they really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and it was all luck to win Huaiyin and Gaoyou, and fighting is not by luck, that is to pay a price."

Although Deputy Commander Shen Honglie admired Yang Ling's courage and guts, he still felt that Yang Ling was too risky this time, and this one was not good, and it was a collapse ending.

"Now if you change generals in battle, it will affect the morale of the army, and I don't think Yang Ling will fight an uncertain battle, maybe he can surprise us again this time."

Hearing that everyone thought that Yang Ling was too risky to fight Baoying and asked him to withdraw, General Zhou Fu, the director of the Political Department who had not spoken, spoke.

"Brother Zhou, what do you say?"

If Yuan Guangtao is a supervisor of the Sulu Theater in the Northern Jiangsu Theater, then General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, is a supervisor of the Chongqing Military Commission in the Sulu Theater.

Everyone knows the identity of General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, and it is precisely because he is from Chongqing that neither Commander Yu Xuezhong nor Deputy Commander Shen Honglie nor others dare to despise Zhou Fu's opinion.

"The last time I inspected the front line of the Boundary Head, I also knew a little about this Yang Ling, and he is definitely not the kind of person who has no purpose." Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, first set a tone.

"Whether it is to fight Huaiyin or Gaoyou, or the later victory of the first in the world, although it seems to be luck, it is actually expected, whether it is the judgment of the enemy's situation, the capture of fighters and the timing of the attack are all appropriate benefits."

"If one or two is luck, is his luck too good?" Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, said with a smile.

"That's right, this kid is like stepping on shit luck, others are chased and beaten by devils, he's good, he provokes devils when he has nothing to do, and he beats the little devils to the point of urine every time."

Although everyone felt that Yang Ling was very aggressive in fighting, they had to admit that Yang Ling was indeed a fierce general who could fight, and they were also comfortable when they saw him fighting in embarrassment.

"Since he is fighting Baoying now, it must be a victory, we don't know the situation of Baoying now, relying on our guess to ask him to retreat, or let Yuan Guangtao take over his forcible withdrawal, not only will it not help, maybe it will also have the opposite effect, and the victory will become a defeat." Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, said solemnly.

"And what do you mean?"

"I mean, since they are going to fight Baoying, then we can't watch them fight alone, mobilize the surrounding troops, and fight the reinforcements of the devils to prepare for Baoying's battle."
