The sky was slightly bright, and the ambush troops commanded by Wu Changqing basically completed the task of searching and suppressing the remnants of the devils at the pier at the head of the landing realm, and none of the devils who took advantage of the chaos to hide in the reeds and fields ran away.

There are charred black craters all over the vicinity of the Jieshou Wharf, and the corpses of devil soldiers in yellow cotton clothes lie on the ground, and the corpses of many devils are soaked in the ditch, which is dyed red.

"According to the report, 221 devils were killed, none of them escaped, 8 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 6 grenadiers, and a steamboat loaded with ammunition of various types, and 7 air-powered boats were captured......

When the brothers reported the seizures to Commander Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing, who had been tense all the time, was also in high spirits.

"Great victory, the little devil definitely didn't expect that our unservant prophet would set up an ambush here."

"Let the little devil look down on us again, and dare to commit it in the future, come and clean up as much as you want!"

"Now the devil commander is afraid that he will be so angry that he will drop the cup......"

Staff Officer Lei Xiong and the grassroots commanders who participated in the command operation were all smiling, they had never fought such an easy battle.

"Have we counted our casualties?"

"We lost five brothers and more than 20 wounded by stray bullets." The brethren replied with a gloomy face.

Commander Wu Changqing has long been accustomed to seeing life and death on the battlefield, every battle is life and death, compared to the previous casualties, the exchange with the devil is also unprecedentedly good.

"The brothers who died in battle were collected and transported back, and a good place was found for proper burial, and the wounded brothers were sent to the infirmary for treatment as soon as possible."

"At the same time, quickly report the news of the total annihilation of the devil to Chief Yang."

"Yes!"

The devil wanted to take advantage of the night to come from Gaoyou Lake to attack Jieshou Town, but he was ambushed by the guerrillas in advance and annihilated, I have to say that the devil's luck was too bad.

At night, the sound of gunfire from the dock made the people gathered in Jieshou Town tremble, and they didn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, the gunshots rang out near the dock all the time, but they did not affect Jieshou Town, because Yang Ling sent people to appease the people early, so it did not cause chaos.

"Great victory! Great victory! The brothers of the corps annihilated the invading enemy last night and killed more than 200 devils! ”

When the brother who reported the victory rode all the way into Jieshou Town to report to Yang Ling, the people along the way also heard it clearly.

"Really? Killed more than 200 devils? ”

"I think eighty percent is bragging, the devil has three heads and six arms, and can breathe fire, how can he be killed so easily."

......

The common people have always had a fear of the cruel and violent devils, because many people have not gone to school, so they fear ghosts and gods, so they are also afraid of the Japanese, so they are called devils.

They were protesting against the incompetence of the guerrillas and always retreating, but now in just one night, the guerrillas have eliminated more than 200 devils, which makes many people feel a little incredulous in their dreams.

Although there is eighty percent certainty of setting up an ambush in advance, the little devil is also very shrewd, and many times because the ambush is exposed, there are many examples of heavy losses.

Although Yang Ling was injured and did not directly go to the battlefield to direct the battle, he only stayed awake all night and waited for news from the dock.

When Wu Changqing sent someone to report that he had completely annihilated all the invading enemies, his hanging heart finally relaxed, and he suddenly felt sleepy.

"Report!"

Just as Yang Ling was about to lie down and rest for a while, a brother burst in from the outside.

"Report to the chief, the devil infantry squadron from the south has approached the head of the realm, and our battalion commander is leading the brothers in front of me, let me ask for reinforcements!"

"Damn, the little devil is really restless!" A combat staff officer couldn't help but curse.

Although the Devil Sano Detachment rested on the spot after capturing Gaoyou and did not carry out large-scale military operations, it still advanced by land and water, and sent two squadrons in an attempt to open the passage with Baoying.

Now the Devil Motorboat Force, which landed at night from Jieshou Pier, has been wiped out, but the Devil Squadron along the road is not aware of it, but is advancing according to the original plan and is fighting the brothers led by the blacksmith.

"Order Battalion Commander Shen to take the third battalion and the patriotic battalion to quickly support the blacksmiths, and destroy the invading devil squadron for me on the spot!"

Now that a devil squadron has been eliminated, Yang Ling doesn't mind eliminating another one, besides, Yang Ling and they are now fighting at home, and they have the advantage of troops, and they don't care about a squadron yet.

Although the more than 4,000 reorganized local armed forces in Huaiyin have not yet reached the head of the realm, now Yang Ling has a lot of troops at the head of the realm.

In addition to the original first battalion of blacksmiths, Wu Changqing's second battalion and patriotic battalion, Yang Ling newly formed a third battalion with Shen Biao as the battalion commander and Luo Feng as the deputy battalion commander.

Most of the officers and men of the Third Battalion were scattered by the former First Route Guerrilla Force in Gaoyou, and many of them were veterans, and their combat effectiveness was not weak, but their weapons and equipment were a little worse, and many of them were still using 79 rifles.

In addition to these four regular units directly under the command of the Northern Jiangsu General Brigade, there are also several hundred local militia units that have been reorganized at the head of the Jieshou and are now undergoing retraining.

These local militia forces are all powerful private self-protection forces of some squires, and although they are not as effective as the guerrillas, they can shoot at any rate, and there is no problem in shooting devils.

Since Shen Biao joined Yang Ling's command, he has not had a chance to perform, and the ambush of the devil's landing force is only beating the side drum, responsible for searching for and suppressing the remnants of the enemy.

More importantly, Shen Biao and Luo Feng were both officers under the command of the former commander Ma Yuren, and they had not been under Yang Ling's command for a long time, so Wu Changqing and the others did not trust them very much.

When Yang Ling was attacked by traitors, Wu Changqing even sent people to prevent Shen Biao and others from leaving the camp in the form of house arrest.

This made Shen Biao realize that he had not really integrated into the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and had not yet been accepted, and he was very depressed in his heart, and even wanted to simply leave.

When Shen Biao received Yang Ling's order to make him the commander and lead his battalion and patriotic battalion to support the blacksmith who was entangled with the devil, he even suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Are you sure that Chief Yang asked me to command, not let Battalion Commander Wu command the troops to reinforce them?"

Shen Biao now has to be cautious and confirm repeatedly, because sometimes it may be a test, if he takes a wrong step, it will be a catastrophe.

Just as when the 57th Division was first incorporated into the 74th Army, the division commander had several copies of the transcription order every time he arrived, so as to prevent the upper peak from admitting the account and becoming a scapegoat after encountering losses after carrying out the order.

"This is an order signed by Chief Yang, and it is still stamped with a red seal." The herald also pointed to the command document helplessly.

When Shen Biao repeatedly confirmed that it was correct, his face showed joy: "Go back and tell Chief Yang that I, Shen Biao, will never let the little devil run away!" ”

Shen Biao didn't wait for the herald to leave, so he grabbed his armed belt and rushed out: "Assemble!" All assembled! ”
