Yang Ling led the guerrilla battalion to clear out the devil soldiers who had infiltrated the Zhongheqiao neighborhood, and the defenders' positions around Guanghuamen were consolidated again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Xing was shocked that the guerrilla battalion was able to eliminate the infiltrated devil soldiers in a short period of time, and he was also impressed by Yang Ling.

Liu Xing, the deputy commander of the garrison, had moved his headquarters to a private house near the river at the Zhonghe Bridge, and in view of the previous lesson, the security was even tighter.

Yang Ling returned to the headquarters to hand over the task, and along the way, he saw that machine guns were set up at the commanding heights on both sides, and sandbag bunkers were piled up on the streets outside the headquarters.

Many of the brothers in these guard battalions were brothers from the supplementary regiment who had retired from Shanghai, and when they saw Yang Ling coming over, they all greeted him happily, and they admired Yang Ling very much.

"Chief Yang, go this way, Chief Liu is already waiting for you." Wu Jiang, deputy commander of the guard battalion, greeted Yang Ling at the door.

At the beginning, most of the brothers in the supplementary regiment were promoted because of their military exploits, Liu Ming became a colonel and staff officer, and Wu Jiang was also promoted from company commander to deputy battalion commander, but Yang Ling was still standing still.

Many people are upset for Yang Ling, but Yang Ling doesn't care, compared to those officers and soldiers who died heroically, they are already very lucky to be alive, why bother to earn those vain things, fighting devils is the right way.

But now with the growth of the team, Yang Ling feels more and more that his rank of major is too low, and he can't do many things.

The headquarters was busy, the phone had been set up, the battle situation had deteriorated, the staff officers were nervously carrying out map operations, and when the colonel staff officer Liu Ming saw Yang Ling walking in, he just nodded and said hello to him, and then began to bow his head and get busy again.

"Yang Ling is here, sit down." Liu Xing saw Yang Ling coming over, and enthusiastically pointed to the bench in front of the wooden table for him to sit.

Liu Xing likes officers who can fight, and Yang Ling's several achievements have impressed him, so he has begun to pay attention to Yang Ling now.

Yang Ling was not hypocritical, and sat down on the bench, and this continuous fierce battle also made him tired enough.

The orderly poured boiling water for Yang Ling, and in this cold weather, Yang Ling gurgled into his throat, feeling that his stiff muscles were finally soothed a lot.

"What about the casualties of your guerrilla battalion?" Liu Xing was very busy, and asked Yang Ling while issuing orders.

Yang Ling also told the truth: "More than 50 brothers have been sacrificed, and more than 100 have been seriously injured."

"You guys fought well, it's really remarkable to be able to annihilate nearly two hundred devils with so few casualties."

The field troops of the devils were strong in combat, and the victory in the Battle of Songhu brought their morale to the peak.

Chinese soldiers can only kill one devil for every four or five people sacrificed, and Liu Xing was a little shocked when he heard the proportion of Yang Ling's casualties, and he did not hesitate to praise them.

"It's all under the command of Chief Liu." Yang Ling is also a sycophant.

Liu Xing laughed, pointed at Yang Ling and said with a smile: "It's me who is in command, don't make fun of me, it's all the credit of the brothers, if I swallow it alone, the brothers will scold me Liu Xing, haha."

Yang Ling knew that this was Liu Xing joking, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

"You have fought all the way from Shanghai to the present, it is really hard for you, your achievements are also obvious to all, your killing of the enemy Lieutenant General Kawadahara in Jiangyin has been confirmed, the chairman's approval has come down, and it has been decided to award you the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun."

Liu Xing said as he took out a beautiful box from his pocket and opened it to reveal the shining Blue Sky and White Sun Medal inside.

Yang Ling was also stunned when he saw the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, this medal is the highest honor for soldiers second only to the National Light Medal, and only more than 200 people received this honor during the entire Anti-Japanese War, but he didn't expect to be awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.

"What, don't you want it?" Seeing that Yang Lingleng didn't react on the spot, Liu Xing laughed.

Yang Ling hurriedly stood up: "Chief Liu, the killing of Kawada Yuan is the credit of the brothers, how can I, Yang Ling, receive this honor......

"Don't shirk it, it's the honor you deserve." Liu Xing said and personally stepped forward to pin the medal to Yang Ling's chest: "Special treatment in wartime, the chairman asked me to award it to you on your behalf, and you don't have any mustard in your heart."

Yang Ling looked down at the shining medal, his heart was extremely complicated, this medal was exchanged for the lives of countless brothers, before him, it was only obtained by Xie Jinyuan, who was guarding the Sixing warehouse, recently.

Yang Ling was originally the leader of the Falcon Squadron and a member of the Communist Party of China, but now that he has returned to this era, the reason why he has been staying in the National Revolutionary Army to fight against the Japanese invaders.

First, because of the duty of a soldier, he was unwilling to abandon those brothers who followed him, but because he felt that following the National Revolutionary Army could be guaranteed both weapons and equipment and logistical supplies, so that he would not have to worry about the future, but now that he has obtained this Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, the nature is different.

Liu Xing returned to his seat and sat down: "This is a commendation for your efforts to defend your home and country, and it is also a recognition of you, and I hope that you will continue to fight bravely to kill the enemy, drive the Japanese army out of China as soon as possible, and save our innocent people from being ravaged by the Japanese invaders."

"Yes!" Yang Ling hurriedly raised his hand and saluted, his mood was overturning at the moment, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Where did Liu Xing know what Yang Ling was thinking at the moment, and took out some boxes and said: "Although these Baoding medals are not as good as the Blue Sky and White Sun Medals, they are also a reward for meritorious soldiers, you can take them back to Liu Yidao and other meritorious people, I can't leave here, so I'll trouble you."

Yang Ling hurriedly put away the medal and thanked Liu Xing for Liu Yidao, he didn't expect to gain so much from coming here.

But Yang Ling's gains were far more than that, Liu Xing promoted his military rank from major to lieutenant colonel, and still temporarily acted as the commander of the guerrilla battalion.

When he was in Jiangyin, Liu Xing let Yang Ling enjoy the treatment of lieutenant colonel, and now it can be regarded as a implementation for him, seeing the new military rank, Yang Ling's heart was full of emotion.

In the Battle of Songhu more than a month ago, he was still a small second lieutenant platoon commander, and after this series of vicious battles, he has become a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander, and there are thousands of brothers under his hands......

"Your guerrilla battalion is tired after fighting for so many days, so temporarily withdraw to the area of Daguang Road to rest and replenish ammunition, and the position will be temporarily defended by the 156th Division, but you must be ready to fight again at any time."

"Yes!" When Yang Ling heard that the guerrilla battalion could be withdrawn to rest, he was full of gratitude to Liu Xing.

"Alright, let's go." Liu Xing waved his hand to Yang Ling and asked Yang Ling to go back, but Yang Ling stood still and did not move.

Liu Xing raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Yang Ling took a deep breath, looked at the busy staff officers around him, and said, "Chief Liu, can you take a step to speak."

Yang Ling knew that Nanjing could not be defended, even if they all died in battle, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the field troops of the nine divisions of the devil were 200,000, and Nanjing would definitely be a catastrophe by then.

Therefore, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and for the sake of these brothers who fought bloodily, he had to take the risk of persuading Liu Xing, the deputy commander of the garrison, in the hope that he could make arrangements so that these soldiers and civilians could escape.
