Chapter 255: Confrontation
At dawn, Xiao Tianliang returned to Lijiachong with the guerrillas, and the guerrillas numbered nearly 100 people, with mottled and messy clothes and various weapons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The old smoking gun stabbed Yang Ling's body with his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "I said Brother Yang, this is completely a group of rabble, what can you expect them to help?"
Although the old smoker looked down on this guerrilla who looked a little shabby, Yang Ling did not dare to underestimate it, this Jiangbei area was also the core control area of the National Revolutionary Army before, these guerrillas can take root and be active here for so long, how can they not have two brushes?
"Brother Zhou, people can't be good-looking, the sea water can't be measured, don't underestimate people." Yang Ling reminded the old smoker in a low voice, and then stepped forward to greet him.
The old smoking gun stood in place and pouted disapprovingly, just by virtue of their hundreds of rotten guns? Thank God for not helping.
"Let me introduce you, this is the commander of the guerrilla battalion of the Jiangfang Group Army who just broke through from Jiangyin, and he is the one who helped us get rid of Li Youde, a dog traitor."
Xiao Tianliang first introduced Yang Ling, then pointed to the guerrilla leader and said, "This is Captain Zhang Tie of my Jiangbei guerrilla force."
The guerrilla leader Zhang Tie had a face with a Chinese character that did not smile, and immediately respected Yang Ling after hearing Xiao Tianliang's introduction, compared with the small fights of their guerrillas in the rear, the guerrilla battalion fought bloody battles with devils on the Jiangyin front line is more admirable, he took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Battalion Commander Yang, you have been fighting bloodily in Jiangyin, frustrating the arrogance of the enemy, all of them are real heroes, real masters!" It has already made us admire, and today we are really extraordinary. ”
Yang Ling is still modest: "It is my soldier's duty to kill the enemy and serve the country, we are just trying our best, but unfortunately I can't kill all the devils and restore my rivers and mountains, where can I be the title of this hero, Captain Zhang must not make fun of me."
"But Captain Zhang, you understand the righteousness, and come to help regardless of your previous suspicions, I, Yang Ling, have thanked you brothers first." Yang Ling changed his words and thanked the guerrillas.
"Battalion Commander Yang, saying that Xie is a part, our guerrillas are also Chinese, and we also have the responsibility of defending the territory and resisting the enemy, and it is an honor for our Jiangbei guerrillas to be able to fight side by side with the guerrilla battalion this time."
After the two sides met and exchanged pleasantries, there was no superfluous nonsense, they went straight to the topic, and after further deliberation and discussion on the plan to lure the enemy to annihilate, they clarified their respective tasks, and soon launched their actions.
Yang Ling took about 50 brothers and detained the devil who was tied up like a dumpling, and Tengtian went out of Lijiachong and swaggered on the road.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Tie led the remaining brothers with the guerrillas and the old smoking gun, and fell far away from Yang Ling, and Li Jiachong also came out of them.
The devil Tengtian looked depressed, being captured was a huge shame for him, he was also fierce, and wanted to commit suicide several times, but he was stopped by Yang Ling and them, Yang Ling wanted to fish, how could he tolerate the bait to die.
The direction to Nanking was still full of people, with routed soldiers, fleeing refugees, neighing mules and horses and bulging packages crowding the road, everyone's face covered with panic, and the atmosphere under the hazy sky was dull and oppressive.
Yang Ling asked Liu Yidao and them to take turns shouting to the refugees to dissuade them from going to Nanjing, because that side was about to become a battlefield, and in the face of the extremely vicious devil soldiers, whoever went would die.
The refugees were skeptical of Yang Ling's words, and in their hearts they always believed that Nanjing was the capital, defended by a large army, at least much stronger than other places.
Yang Ling had no choice but to use money to bribe several refugees and let them spread false news that the government had abandoned Nanjing, most of the troops had withdrawn, and the main force had withdrawn to Wuhan.
This trick really worked, the refugees are afraid of death, since the government has given up Nanjing, they are afraid that they will run into devils head-on, that will be dead.
All kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, spreading ten or ten, and the timid refugees fled to other places one after another, and by noon, only Yang Ling and his party were left alone on the congested road.
"Battalion commander, did you say that the commanders are really going to give up Nanjing? That's the national capital, how can you say that you give up and give up. ”
In order to prevent the refugees from stepping into the city that was destined to be burned by war, Yang Ling spread rumors to scare them into fleeing to other places.
"We have not been able to hold Shanghai by 7 or 800,000 people, and I heard that Nanjing is now only guarded by more than a dozen newly defeated divisions, and they are all not yet in charge, and all the officials have fled, and I estimate that eighty percent of them will not be able to hold it."
Although Yang Ling said it tactfully, it set off a monstrous wave in Qin Shou's heart, and they felt more and more that the future was bleak.
Qin Shou was in a bad mood, and said in a bad mood: "If Nanjing is lost, then won't we lose the country?"
"It's not like the country will die, the government has moved to Chongqing, which will become the capital."
Although Yang Ling said this, everyone still found it difficult to accept, as a soldier, if this capital is lost, it will be really shameless, and what kind of battle will there be.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Yang Ling patted Qin Shou on the shoulder and said: "Actually, moving the capital to Chongqing is not a bad thing, first, you can avoid the enemy's edge and avoid the loss of the country, and secondly, the battle line is extended.
"That's the same," Qin Shou grinned, "Let's kill the little devil."
Just as Yang Ling and the others were chatting while walking, Yang Dashu suddenly pointed ahead and said, "There seems to be a situation ahead."
"Hidden!" Before Yang Ling's words fell, the more than fifty brothers had already spread out and hidden, and there was a sound of the bolt pulling in their ears.
Yang Ling took out the captured Cao Changjing, and quickly saw the situation in front clearly, in the undulating hills and barren grass on the side of the road about five or six hundred meters ahead, there were many people wearing the uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army in ambush.
On the slope on the left side of the hill, several people whose hands were tied up with back-cut were being held with guns, and Yang Ling recognized that the bound ones were the brothers he had sent out to explore the way, and his face sank.
"Battalion commander, it looks like someone is coming over there." Yang Dashu reminded.
Yang Ling raised his eyes and looked over, and sure enough, the two of them walked towards them, but they stopped when they reached a distance of about three hundred meters.
"Hey, you're that part? Why are our people tied up? Yang Dashu roared, but the other party didn't respond, and still stood there looking at them.
Just as Yang Dashu wanted to continue shouting, Yang Ling stopped him: "They are not friendly troops, they are disguised by devils, they should be the devils from last night."
"Damn, it's a devil! Lao Tzu them! Liu Yidao was immediately angry and hurriedly pulled the bolt.
"If you don't want our brothers to die, don't act rashly."
Yang Ling didn't expect that the devil would dare to swagger to block their way, but looking at the other party's appearance, he didn't seem to want to fight.
"Qin Shou, you hurry back and inform the guerrillas and Company Commander Zhou that they hurry up and follow, and I will drag the devil here."
"Yes!" Qin Shou answered, and immediately hunched over and ran back towards the way he came.
Yang Ling tidied up his wrinkled military uniform, stood up from his hiding place, and said to Liu Yidao: "Do you dare to go out with me and meet devils?"
"What don't you dare!" Liu Yidao stood up and stood beside Yang Ling.
Yang Dashu hurriedly stopped and said, "Battalion commander, let me go, beware of devils."
"It's okay, their people are still in our hands, they don't dare to mess around." Yang Ling pointed to the bound devil Tengtian and said, "Take good care of him."
In Yang Dashu's worries, Yang Ling took Liu Yidao and walked over to meet the two devils in Chinese military uniforms.
"Listen to Lao Tzu, once the situation is not right, knock those two devils to me first to ensure the safety of the battalion commander!" Yang Dashu set up the machine gun and became murderous.
