As soon as Yang Ling saw off the commanders of these local armed forces, Huzi, the commander of the guard company, walked over with a solemn face, stood in front of Yang Ling and saluted.

"Sir, Zhang Dazhui of the Intelligence Department has sent news that some people in Jieshou Town have incited their fathers and villagers to hate our guerrillas, and even threatened to expel our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps."

Zhang Dazhui, an intelligence agent who was hiding in the shadows, was originally from Qinghe Town, and he joined the army when the guerrilla detachment was first expanded to recruit soldiers in Yangling.

But instead of staying in the army, they left the guerrillas under various pretexts and became hidden intelligence officers, responsible for intelligence gathering in the shadows.

At this juncture of their war with the devils, some people actually incited the people to hate the guerrillas, and the purpose was self-evident, that is, they wanted to mess up the military-civilian relations in this area and weaken the guerrillas in disguise.

"Have the identities of those who incited the elders and villagers clear?" Yang Ling realized the seriousness of the problem and asked in a deep voice.

Huzi, the commander of the guard company, gritted his teeth and replied: "The intelligence department analyzed that it should be those traitors who delivered traitors, and our hidden intelligence officers are secretly observing, preparing to find their whereabouts." ”

Yang Ling nodded and ordered: "Tell the hidden brothers, they only need to provide the whereabouts of those people, they don't expose it, and the action will be carried out by the guard company." ”

"Yes!" Huzi saluted and turned to leave.

"By the way, you go and inform the battalion commander Wu Changqing, and ask him to send some brothers to the town to be responsible for maintaining order, and send people to set up chucks at various intersections to entangle suspicious people, etc., to raise the alert level."

Yang Ling had been staring at the devils in the direction of Gaoyou and arranging combat missions before, but now the information provided by the intelligence department made him realize that his vigilance was too lax.

At present, the activities of enemy and special elements in the occupied areas are rampant, and they must enhance their sense of vigilance for security; after all, the enemy is secretive and we are clear, and if they are really plotted, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Yang Ling's order was soon sent to the temporary camp of the guerrilla corps that was being reorganized outside the town, and Wu Changqing did not dare to slack off, and quickly sent two companies that had completed the reorganization, and set out to maintain order in the town and set up chucks at various intersections to entangle suspicious people.

Groups of armed guerrilla officers and men drove out of the makeshift camp, and the streets where the brothers in uniform Japanese leather shoes trampled on the earth, the ranks were in order, and the bayonets were bright, so that the eyes of the people who had fled in the town were bright, and they turned sideways to get out of the way.

These people have seen too many Chinese troops, whether it is the Central Army wearing uniform uniforms, or the tattered provincial army and guerrillas.

But most of those troops were depressed and demoralized, and they often walked in groups of three or five, and they were weak to walk.

The guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu fought with the devils repeatedly, and after the tempering and baptism of war, the spirit of daring to fight and dare to fight has been integrated into the bones of every brother, and they are proud to be Chinese soldiers.

Now the officers and men of the Northern Soviet Corps are not only not demoralized, but are full of energy and eager to fight the devils, so they walk on the streets with a high-spirited and uplifting attitude.

They made the chaotic and decadent Jieshou Town like a beam of light, and at the same time made the pessimistic and disappointed people feel hope.

The officers and men who drove into the town to maintain order did not care about the numb, pessimistic, or excited eyes crowded on both sides of the street, but under the orders of the grassroots commanders, they quickly formed patrols in squads and began to carry out the task of patrolling and maintaining order.

"Someone is stealing something, someone is stealing something!"

Liang Xiaoshan, the deputy company commander, was leading a squad of brothers to patrol the streets, and before he had gone 50 meters, a woman's urgent cry came from the crowd in front of him.

Liang Xiaoshan and his brothers stopped in unison, only to see that the pedestrians in front of him were knocked to pieces, and a young man holding a package in his hand rushed over.

"Stop him!"

Seeing this person rushing over with a package, Liang Xiaoshan waved his hand, and the two wolf-like brothers pounced on him.

The young man who grabbed things did not expect to run into such a group of guerrilla officers and soldiers head-on, and after being slightly stunned, he was about to jump into the alley next to him with a sudden brake.

"Ouch!"

But as soon as he ran two paces, he was chased from behind by two officers and men of the guerrillas and knocked him to the ground.

At this time, a running and panting woman also squeezed through the crowd and ran over, and when she saw that the guerrillas had caught the young man who was robbing something, she rushed up and hurriedly picked up her package.

"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss." The woman clutched her package tightly in her hand, and thanked Liang Xiaoshan for their constant actions.

"It's just a gesture, you're welcome, pay attention to your own things next time." Liang Xiaoshan smiled and waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to thank him.

"Take him back and lock him up." Liang Xiaoshan waved at the brothers, ready to take the young man back for interrogation.

The young man who snatched things was also full of frustration, and he was arrested for the first time, and he was arrested with a sad face.

"Okay, the guerrillas are doing well." Seeing that the guerrilla patrol had caught a person who had grabbed something, some onlookers couldn't help but applaud.

They fled here from Gaoyou, and along the way, they encountered all kinds of armed exploitation, not to mention, these people who robbed things were also unscrupulous, which made them miserable.

This caused them to complain about the guerrillas stationed here, believing that these people were in collusion with the guerrillas to bully their people, so as soon as someone instigated them, they became more and more dissatisfied with the guerrillas.

But now the guerrilla patrol caught the looters in the street and chased back the looted goods, which made the people doubt their judgment again.

The guerrilla patrol arrived in the town and began to maintain order, and in a short period of half an hour, several incidents of fighting, eating food, and stealing things were dealt with, which immediately changed the image of the people towards the guerrillas.

The traitors and spies who hid among the people and stirred up emotions realized that something was wrong, because if they continued, their plans would be in vain.

At that time, the people not only did not hate the guerrillas, but supported the guerrillas again because of what the guerrillas had done, after all, many people believed that seeing is believing.

"The guerrillas suddenly increased their vigilance, and they must have sensed something."

Soon, these traitors and spies disguised as refugees, hawkers, merchants, etc., gathered together again to discuss countermeasures, and each of them had a solemn face.

"If we continue to incite hatred against the guerrillas, it will be easy for the guerrillas to detect it, so should we suspend our activities in order to avoid exposure?" Some people raised their own concerns.

The middle-aged man dressed as a merchant shook his head: "If we stop, the previous efforts will be in vain, not only can we not stop now, but we must also increase our efforts to incite the people to march and storm their headquarters, we can take advantage of the chaos to kill their commander!" ”

"As long as we kill that Yang Ling, then the Northern Jiangsu Corps will be leaderless, and as soon as the Jiangfang troops arrive, we will join forces with the outside world, and then we can take the Northern Jiangsu Corps in one pot!"

"Aren't the Jiangfang troops still in Gaoyou?" A traitor in a torn cotton coat looked up and asked.

"I have just received an order from Chief Sano, the Jiang defense troops will be able to reach the Jieshou Wharf tonight, as long as the Jieshou is captured, then the Chinese army south of the Jieshou will be cut off! And we will be rewarded for our cooperation! “
