The troops in the Sulu theater have been fighting intently throughout the winter offensive, and the other theaters have either fought with devils in their heads or regained lost ground, which is a frequent success.

It's a pity that although the troops in the Sulu theater are also being ordered to fight, they spend almost three days fishing and two days drying nets, often fighting devils for one day, and the other two days are spent in the war zone to be replenished.

Their main purpose in fighting was to take advantage of the opportunity to ask for more weapons, ammunition, and supplies from the war zone, because the conditions of combat behind enemy lines were difficult, and they had to be cautious.

If you really fight out the troops, then what to do to defend the territory that has been fought hard in the occupied area, and if you can't beat the city occupied by the devils, you will be scolded at most, but once you lose your territory, it will be a big sin, and you will have to eat guns.

Therefore, the commanders of each unit also understand the severity, so they don't use all their strength to fight devils, and they don't do it when they suffer losses.

Although they did not fight the devils with all their might, they shouted fiercely in the telegram asking for supplies and ammunition, exaggerating the intensity of the battle and exaggerating the battle damage.

Many units even took advantage of the large-scale military operations of the Winter Offensive to engage in the business of reselling arms.

When they reported to their commanders that their weapons were damaged, they could say that they had lost a gun as three, and then asked for supplies, otherwise they would not be able to fight.

At present, the troops in the occupied areas are not in the same place, and it is impossible for the commanders to risk the danger and delay the time to check the real situation on the spot, so they can only replenish ammunition and supplies according to the battle damage of the troops below.

In fact, the battle losses of the various units were exaggerated, and when the weapons and ammunition from above were replenished, the surplus guns and ammunition could be resold to the local gangs and some squires.

Even the commanders of many units sell good guns for good prices in order to sell them, and bad guns are reserved for the use of the troops.

If you come down to check and see that the weapons and equipment used by the troops are too bad, maybe you can take the opportunity to complain again and resupply again.

As a result, the commanders of the various units deceived their superiors and subordinates and deceived their superiors and subordinates, because the weapons and equipment of the regular and guerrilla units were even inferior to those of the local gang forces, and they were not vulnerable to the elite devils at all.

Although the troops could not win the battle, the commanders of the various units were very rich, because the money from the resale of guns and ammunition was put into their pockets, and they did not care so much about whether they could win the battle, because the troops did not win the battle, and the law did not blame the people, and the theater command could not do anything to them.

But now Yang Ling's series of victories in the Northern Jiangsu Corps have made these corrupt army commanders unable to sit still.

They got the most supplies, and the number of troops on the books was also the largest, but the victories were the least, compared with the Northern Jiangsu Army, suddenly one in the sky and one underground.

On the other hand, Yang Ling's No. 1 Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu, because it was a newly established unit, the theater command did not pay much attention to them, let alone weapons, equipment and materials, and did not even replenish them with a single soldier.

Yang Ling was an optimist, and he didn't expect the theater command, because he sent several telegrams asking for supplies, but each time there was a shortage of supplies, and other troops were still queuing, so let them wait.

But how can he afford to wait for a war, so Yang Ling simply didn't go to the theater command to ask for weapons, equipment and supplies, since the commander didn't give it, then he would find a way by himself.

Therefore, Yang Ling first swept away the gangs such as the Big Knife Society, the Little Knife Society, and the Zodiac Gate in the troubled place with a thunderous force, and seized a large amount of food and materials.

The other is to let the landlords and townships in the area under their control regularly raise funds for anti-Japanese charity, and the Northern Jiangsu Corps promises that their fields and property will be safe and will not be robbed by little devils.

Because Yang Ling has a good reputation, this has also become a stable source of income for them.

The most important thing is that it was captured from the devils and the puppet army, because the brothers are desperate, and now the battalion of the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Corps is all Japanese-style equipment, and they are all taken from the devils.

Yang Ling They continued to grow and win battles without being supplied by the theater command, but those troops who were supplied could not win the battle, as long as the theater command was not stupid, they would know what was going on.

Therefore, after the victory of the first in the world, all friendly troops were attacking one after another, and the fight was quite lively, even harder than during the winter offensive, in fact, to a large extent, it was also forced by Yang Ling.

Because if they don't fight, if the theater command asks them, how can they explain, and then how can they need weapons and equipment supplies in the future?

Because of Yang Ling's great victory, it also caused a series of chain reactions, and no matter what the purpose of the military activities of the various troops was, they were mobilized after all, instead of hiding their strength all the time.

The theater command was also very pleased, feeling that it was the great victory of the world leader that had lifted the morale of the army, but in fact, when the commanders of those troops ordered the troops to attack, they were secretly scolding Yang Ling in their hearts.

If Yang Ling and the others were also safe, everyone would not be fighting in this cold winter and moon, and wait for the New Year, isn't it?

All the troops were attacking, and for several days in a row, there were more artillery towers of the devil puppet army than in the entire winter offensive, and countless bridges and roads were destroyed.

Those puppet troops and devils who thought that after the end of the winter offensive, the guerrilla troops in the occupied areas would cease were also stunned by this sudden large-scale attack and suffered heavy losses.

The entire Sulu theater was once again filled with gunsmoke and thick smoke, but the Northern Jiangsu Corps, which had just won a battle at the head of the world, was extremely low-key, and this time it did not attack again, but chose to hibernate.

The main reason is that although they destroyed an infantry brigade of devils at the head of the realm, their own losses were extraordinarily large, and they could only be regarded as a miserable victory.

"In this battle at the head of the world, we killed a total of 1,093 devils, did not take prisoners, captured 41 light and heavy machine guns, 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 600 usable rifles, only more than 10,000 rifle bullets, 2,000 heavy machine gun bullets, and ...... grenades."

In the temporary general command of the head of the world, the staff officer in charge of post-war statistics held documents in his hand and reported one by one.

Hearing that so many weapons and equipment had been captured, the battalion and company-level officers attending the meeting were all overjoyed, although the bullets were lost due to the consumption of the battlefield, and the captured were a little less, but so many weapons, if they were distributed to various battalions, there would be a lot, and they had already begun to calculate how much they could get.

"In this battle, we lost a total of 615 soldiers, 100 seriously wounded, 730 lightly wounded, and on the officer side, three were seriously wounded at the battalion level, five officers at the company level, and 21 officers at the platoon level were killed in battle......

Hearing such heavy casualties, the officers who were happy because of the capture all restrained their smiles in unison, and in the dimly lit room, there was silence, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
