A guerrilla battalion of more than 600 men was soon ready to go, with the Type 38 rifle bayonets on their shoulders glowing with cold light, and 20 light machine guns of various types showing hideous muzzles.

The two 70mm Type 92 infantry guns equipped with the machine gun company directly under the battalion pointed diagonally at the lead-gray sky, and two 7.7mm heavy machine guns and two 90mm mortars were neatly placed at the front of the queue.

Yang Ling and the others fought several bloody battles with the little devils, although the victory accounted for the fluke component, but also captured a lot, not only all of them were reloaded with Japanese rifles.

At the same time, the firepower of the two main guerrilla battalions under the detachment has been greatly enhanced, and after the reorganization and adjustment, each of the three infantry companies under the battalion is equipped with at least six light machine guns, and is also equipped with several 50mm grenadier fire support groups.

In addition to the battalion-affiliated infantry company, the newly formed battalion-affiliated machine gun company was equipped with infantry guns, mortars and heavy machine guns, and although the number was small, the firepower was more than one notch higher than that of the rest of the guerrillas.

At present, the two main guerrilla battalions under the command of Yang Ling have greatly improved both in terms of firepower and military quality of the soldiers; although they have not been formed for a long time and still seem a little immature, they also have the demeanor of a brave division.

A battalion led by a blacksmith was responsible for maintaining order and patrolling inside Huaiyin City to prevent enemy agents from sabotage, while Wu Changqing's second battalion was trained outside the city.

After receiving the order to assemble urgently, in just a few minutes, these officers and men, who were still on the training ground just now, had already assembled in full gear.

Seeing that it was getting dark, such an emergency assembly now made many officers and soldiers very incomprehensible, and they turned their attention to their respective commanders.

But they found that their platoon commander and company commander were also at a loss, and they also looked at Wu Changqing, the battalion commander who was standing in front with a black face and did not speak.

Wu Changqing's mood is indeed not very good now, and the brothers who are now detained by the Knife Society are the people of their camp.

He was originally ordered by Yang Ling to go to nearby counties and villages and towns to contact the local anti-Japanese forces, and then came to Huaiyin to discuss the formation of the Anti-Japanese General Association, break down the barriers between each other, and cooperate in the war of resistance.

Most of the brothers sent out had already returned to the team to start training, and those anti-Japanese armed Yang Ling who had contacted him also made their own arrangements.

But there is no news from a little farther away, but now the news comes back that his brother has been detained, and he has to take money to ransom people, a person of 100,000 oceans, and he will dare to open his mouth if he loses a knife.

The so-called Tai Sui dared to break ground on his head, that is at a price, if he does not participate in the Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese Association, he will not participate, and Yang Ling did not force them, as long as they sincerely resist Japan.

But now the Little Knife Society not only refused to participate in the Anti-Japanese General Association to cooperate in the fight against Japan, but also detained their brothers and demanded ransom, and even played kidnapping in broad daylight, which Yang Ling could not tolerate.

"What's wrong with us, Chief Wu?"

Seeing Wu Changqing standing at the front of the team with a black face and not speaking, someone in the team gently pushed the brother next to him and asked in a low voice.

The brother who was asked was also at a loss: "I don't know, I think there will be another war." ”

"But aren't the nearby devils and puppet armies wiped out?"

......

Hundreds of brothers with loaded guns stood in the cold wind, all speculating about what had happened.

Soon, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance.

The brothers of the second battalion turned their heads in unison to see that more than a dozen tall horses were sweeping smoke and dust, and it was their supreme commander Yang Ling at the head.

Yang Ling and the others captured these Oriental horses from the hands of the devil's communication soldiers, and some of them were equipped for the brothers of the communication company to travel, and the rest remained in Yang Ling's guard platoon.

"Whew-"

Yang Ling and their horses were very fast, and in an instant, he pulled the reins in front of the assembled team, and the two front hooves of the majestic Oriental horse under the seat took off into the air, neighing, and stopped abruptly.

The more than a dozen sturdy and burly guard brothers behind Yang Ling also reined in their horses one after another, and stopped in unison.

The more than 600 brothers of the second battalion who gathered watched the horse team of only more than 10 people rushing towards them, and they had the might of thousands of troops, and in the face of the pressure on them, many of them could not bear to want to flee.

However, when they saw that their commander did not move, they also stood in place and did not move, until they saw the horse team stop more than ten meters in front of them, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that they would not be able to restrain themselves and collide with them.

You must know that in the face of the high-speed charge of the cavalry, once it collides head-on, even if it is not dead, it will be crippled, unless a large number of firepower nets are used to intercept the cavalry charge, otherwise the cavalry charge is the nightmare of the infantry.

Yang Ling didn't get off the horse after reining in the horse, looking at the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who were ready to go, his cold face was full of murderous aura.

"Brethren, do you know why we need to assemble urgently?" Yang Ling asked after looking at the brothers.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the brothers naturally didn't know why they were gathering, so they were all silent, waiting for Yang Ling's next step.

Yang Ling held the east side of the horsewhip and pointed to it, and said angrily: "Just now, I got the news that the brothers of one of our classes were detained by the Knife Society, and the Knife will say that a person must pay a ransom of 100,000 oceans, otherwise he will tear up the ticket!" The brother who came back to deliver the news had died just now! ”

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the assembled brothers understood what was going on, and they were immediately filled with righteous indignation and anger.

"The brothers in this class are all our brothers who are fighting side by side in the trenches to fight devils, and they can give their backs to each other's brothers, and now they are in danger, you think we should do this?!" Yang Ling's gaze was like a knife, staring at the brothers and asking.

"Destroy the Knife Society, save the brothers!" The brothers' answer was firm and loud.

The brothers of the guerrillas have formed a strong cohesion in the successive battles, and Yang Ling has also been instilling a sense of collectivity and patriotism.

Now they heard that their brothers were in danger, and they were able to sit still.

"There will be thousands of people with knives, are you afraid?!" Yang Ling asked loudly again.

"Kill!" The roar of the brethren seemed to come from the ground, with a dull murderous aura.

"Okay, now in addition to the machine gun company staying in the camp, the three infantry companies will immediately set off to save our brothers!" Yang Ling quickly completed the pre-war mobilization.

Although he wasn't sure if there would be a large-scale conflict with Xiaodao this time, he wanted to show his attitude by pressing the border, he was a person who protected his shortcomings, and since he dared to bully his brothers, he had to pay for it with blood.

The cannon company with heavy weapons will affect the speed of the troops, and the knife club is a group of gang organizations, and Yang Ling didn't pay attention to it, so let the cannon company stay in the camp.
