On the highway leading to Huaiyin County, flags were fluttering, and a group of high-morale guerrilla officers and men were marching in the direction of Huaiyin in three neat columns.

"Give me some energy, hold your head high, don't fall into the prestige of our third guerrilla detachment!"

The company commander of the Sharp Knife Company carried two shell guns full of bullets, and the armed belt that fell diagonally from his shoulders was tightly tied to his waist, and a devil's captain's knife tied to his waist swayed back and forth with the sonorous and powerful steps, and his face was full of pride.

The officers and men of the guerrillas marching along the highway also carried the 38 large cover rifles on their shoulders, and the bayonets were shining brightly, like a moving steel forest, with a solemn murderous aura.

The order given to Yang Ling by the headquarters of the 9th Guerrilla Column and their 3rd Detachment was to clear the enemy in Qinghe Town, and then converge the rest of the column to eliminate the devils in Huaiyin County and recover Huaiyin.

Yang Ling and the others successively destroyed the main force of the devils in Qinghe Town by encircling the points and sending reinforcements, and then sent people to eliminate the devils and puppet troops in the surrounding strongholds, which delayed a lot of time.

Therefore, after receiving the order of the guerrilla column commander to urge the assembly, Yang Ling did not dare to slack off, and after letting Wang Huzi, who had just finished the battle in Yuzhuang, rest for the night, he led a battalion to take the lead and rushed to Huaiyin to assemble.

Yang Ling was preparing to wait for Zhang Liechen, the deputy detachment leader of Xiaowangzhuang, to rush to Qinghe Town to hand over, and then lead the second battalion and the guard platoon to follow.

After all, Qinghe Town has just been restored, and the remaining enemy elements are unknown, and it is necessary to treat the wounded, restore public order, and pacify the people.

And Yang Ling didn't want Qinghe Town to become a mess just after the resumption, he wanted to use this place as the base of their third guerrilla detachment, so everything must not be sloppy.

The first battalion commander Wang Huzi was also tired enough, and led people to beat Yu Zhuang for five hours, and then he took Zhuang down, and when he rushed back to Qinghe Town, it was already dark.

Wang Huzi rested in Qinghe Town for a night, and as soon as dawn he gathered the three infantry companies of the first battalion, and went straight to Huaiyin without taking care of breakfast.

After all, the commander of the guerrilla column had given an order to their third guerrilla detachment to rush to Huaiyin before dark, and they had already been delayed for one night, and they could not delay any longer, otherwise they would not be able to explain it.

But Wang Huzi didn't know that it was precisely because of the delay in Qinghe Town that they escaped being surrounded and killed by devils.

The sharp knife company where the knife is located is responsible for the head of the whole battalion, walking at the front of the team, seeing the mountains and opening the road and building bridges when encountering water is their task, and they also carry out reconnaissance of the enemy.

However, on the way from Qinghe Town to Huaiyin, except for a few artillery towers garrisoned by the puppet army, the rest of the battles were not worth mentioning.

The officers and men of the Third Guerrilla Detachment have been transformed into several battles in succession, and their military quality has been greatly improved.

In the face of the resistance of those puppet troops in the turret, they took it without much effort, and advanced in the direction of Huaiyin like a bamboo along the way.

The sharp knife company of the first battalion where the knife is located are all old members of the Third Guerrilla Army, and many of the officers were brought out by Yang Ling from the 74th Army, so their natural strength is stronger than that of those newly formed companies.

After a few battles, the 79 rifles they were equipped with ran out of bullets, basically became burning sticks, and were eliminated to the militia team, and the company where the knife was located was the first batch of troops to change into devil equipment.

Now the guerrilla brothers of their sharp knife company are covered with all the equipment except for the yellow dog skins that do not wear devils and wear their steel helmets, and all the rest of the equipment is captured devils.

In addition to being able to complete the first batch of costume changes by Yang Ling, there is also an important reason for the combat effectiveness, and only strong combat effectiveness can have this honor.

After all, the sharp knives of the knives are fed with the blood of devils on the battlefield, and after these battles, almost everyone has a devil's life in their hands.

Now anyone who sees a partisan brother armed with a devil's weapon is envied by the brother who has not changed his clothes, and privately calls them "living Hades".

Now the entire Ninth Guerrilla Column is ordered to assemble devils who will attack Huaiyin under Huaiyin City, and this is an opportunity to show their faces.

Yang Ling is also an ordinary person, so naturally he can't avoid vulgarity, and sending his strongest company out to walk in front is also the meaning of giving himself a long face.

After all, in this era of war and chaos, only fists and strength can convince the heart, even if those people join the army, they will choose those troops with good treatment and equipment.

Yang Ling also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the entire Ninth Guerrilla Column to advertise himself, after all, it would be good to recruit troops and recruit all kinds of talents in the future.

This is because in addition to the troops capable of fighting, all kinds of medical personnel, craftsmen who can strike iron, repair weapons, and so on are needed for the development of the base areas.

Fighting with the little devils in this occupied area, if you count on the little supplies from the upper peak, I am afraid that you will starve to death long ago.

Yang Ling has a very grand plan, and after fighting a few more beautiful battles and stabilizing the surroundings, he will definitely establish a series of arsenals, clothing factories, and field hospitals, and talent is the most important.

Only by self-sufficiently building up this series of factories can their guerrillas develop and grow, and can they better fight devils and puppet armies.

With the support of a large number of weapons, ammunition and materials, let alone expanding into columns, even if they set up a combat army alone, it is not impossible.

However, all this is just Yang Ling's plan, and what he needs to do now is to play the prestige of their third guerrilla detachment, and the fame will be played first, so as to pave the way for the development of subsequent affairs.

The company commander of the sharp knife company was naturally called by Yang Ling to give a special order, as the vanguard force, they naturally could not let the friendly troops look down on them, and they had to shake off the prestige of the ace troops.

And the knife is also a living dead who rolled over in a vicious battle, and he carried out Yang Ling's order to the end, so he marched in line halfway through.

The officers and men of a company were so powerful that they made the knives thrash as if a thousand troops and horses were marching in, and the smoke and dust were billowing out.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Da Da Da ......"

Just as the knives were marching in the direction of Huaiyin County with their heads held high, suddenly the crisp sound of rifles and machine guns sounded in front of them.

"Stop!"

The company commander's knife was raised above his head, and the jubilant team immediately stopped.

Without any orders, the brothers took off their guns and loaded their bullets, and stared solemnly at the front in unison.

The knife was on tiptoe and looked at the front of the road, and there was nothing to be seen, but the gunfire was getting closer.

"Spread out!" With a wave of the knife, all the brethren on the highway spread out into the reeds and ditches on both sides of the highway to hide.

"Report! There's a team of our brothers in front of us being chased and beaten by dozens of devils! ”

Soon, three figures in gray uniforms rushed to the east of the road to report the situation, they were scouts walking ahead.

"Our brothers?" The company commander frowned, stared at the scout and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

The scout replied: "There are those who wear yellow uniforms, and there are those who wear coarse gray uniforms, and they must also be guerrillas." ”

Since it was a friendly unit that ran into the devil, the knife naturally would not stand idly by.

"You guys quickly report the situation to the battalion commander, and the rest are ready to fight!"

At the sound of the sword, the brothers who were hidden in the reeds and ditches on both sides of the road quickly moved to the low and undulating hills on both sides of the road, and prepared for battle.

The two signal soldiers rushed west along the highway to report the enemy situation to the battalion commander in the rear.
