The rain has stopped for a day, but the entire Baoying City is still shrouded in cold, and a large number of devil soldiers have been sent to the countryside to chase and intercept the guerrillas, and the entire Baoying City seems a little deserted.

Except for the occasional patrol walking along the streets of the city, the only ones left were wild dogs foraging for food, and the people were closed to their homes and waited for the war to end.

The headquarters of the devils is located in the county government, and the entire street is under martial law, and the machine guns of the devils are set up on the barricades made of sandbags.

The fighting has moved to the countryside, and the city has been cleared by the plainclothes team and the devils, and now that the city is safe, the devil soldiers have become a little lax.

Although these devil soldiers are still guarding their posts, their demeanor is no longer as serious as that of the previous days, and they gather around each other in groups to smoke and laugh, enjoying a rare leisure time.

The devil's plan was successful, and they used the people as a threat in the countryside to force the hidden guerrillas to fight them.

Several guerrilla units were fooled, and they took the initiative to show up to fight the devils for the safety of the people, trying to rescue the people who were controlled by the devils.

But they didn't know that this was a plot of the little devils, and now instead of rescuing the people who were controlled by the devils, they fell into the encirclement and interception of the devils, and the situation was precarious.

In order to completely wipe out the guerrilla forces resisting in this area and prevent them from escaping again, Watanabe Shouichi, the head of the devil's detachment, was also ruthless, and almost all the mobile units were transferred up, trying to completely annihilate the guerrillas.

Although the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps won several battles under the command of Yang Ling, the area under its control was constantly expanding.

But compared with the little devils, both the combat effectiveness and the weapons and equipment are still a lot worse after all, and now in the face of the heavy siege of the devils, the gap between the two sides is immediately apparent.

Although the brothers of the guerrillas carried forward the tenacious and courageous fighting spirit, as time went by, the casualties of the troops became more and more large, and they were already blocked by the outflanking troops of the devils and fell into a bitter battle.

Now the guerrillas are in a bitter battle against the joint encirclement and suppression of a large number of devils and puppet troops in the countryside, so although the defenders of Baoying are small in number, they are also very relaxed, and they are about to be wiped out by the troops on the front line, so they cannot be threatened at all.

"The Chinese army is already surrounded by our regiments, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated."

Not only the devil troops who stayed behind in Baoying felt relaxed, but the staff officers of the Watanabe detachment also looked relaxed.

From Gaoyou to the present, they have been overwhelmed by guerrilla attacks along the way.

Although he relied on a strong force to capture Baoying, the guerrillas hid in the countryside and engaged in guerrilla warfare, controlling the rural area, and it was still difficult for them to occupy a lonely city.

It was precisely for this reason that Watanabe Shouyichi, the head of the devil's detachment, decided to completely wipe out the guerrillas in the countryside and achieve the goal of actual occupation.

However, the guerrillas were slippery like loaches, taking advantage of the cover of the local people and familiarizing themselves with the terrain, and played peek-a-boo with them.

In the early stage of the encirclement and suppression operations, their encirclement and suppression troops were tired and exhausted, but they gained very little.

Fortunately, now they have finally used stratagem to fish out the guerrillas, which gives them hope of victory.

"The people of China are very cunning and familiar with the terrain, and although we have besieged them in a small area, we must not be careless."

Now that the exposed guerrillas have been blocked, Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil's detachment, doesn't want to let the tiger return to the mountain, so he still doesn't dare to relax.

After all, with the lessons learned this time, it will not work if you want to use the same method to force out the guerrillas next time.

"Order the encirclement and suppression troops on all sides to control the junctions and bridges everywhere, not give the people of China any chance to break through the encirclement, advance steadily in a centripetal manner, compress the area of activity of the guerrillas in China, and not let a single fish slip through the net."

As the saying goes, wildfires can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and the devils also know how to shovel the grass and eradicate the roots.

"This time, we will definitely wipe out the guerrillas in China, and we will definitely not let anyone go." The devil's staff officer said with a relaxed smile on his face.

"As long as the guerrillas are eliminated, then they can fiercely deter the local people of China and let them know the fate of opposing the Imperial Japanese Army, which will also be of great benefit to the next public security." A high-ranking officer of the devil echoed and said.

Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, looked at the staff officers who were talking and laughing easily, picked up a telegram from the table and said: "Our detachment has captured the head of the world and Baoying, and the headquarters has sent a telegram of commendation, and I ask you to make persistent efforts and not to live up to the high expectations of the base camp." ”

"Hey!"

When the devils heard that the headquarters had sent a telegram of commendation, they were all excited, after all, as soldiers, they were full of pride to be rewarded by their superiors, and this was an honor that belonged to them.

Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil detachment, continued: "The Nanjing side of China also sent a telegram, asking us not to let go of Yang Ling, the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, this time, and they offered a reward of 50,000 oceans to buy Yang Ling's head, telling all troops that they must pay close attention to the dynamics of Yang Ling, the commander of China, and must not let him escape. ”

Hearing this, the devil staff officers and officers in the room all looked at each other, but they didn't expect Nanjing to be so persistent in Yang Ling that they actually offered a reward.

However, they soon became excited, for them, 50,000 oceans is still a considerable fortune, if they can get it, it will be a surprise.

When the Nanjing puppet government was established, it sent a large number of lobbyists to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places to recruit Chinese troops, so that they could break away from Chongqing and join Nanjing.

It's a pity that the Nanjing Wang puppet government miscalculated, and the lobbyists they sent to the Northern Jiangsu Corps were ordered by Yang Ling to directly cut off their heads, which can be said to be a slap in the face of the Nanjing puppet government.

It is precisely because of this that the high-ranking officials of the Nanjing puppet government are clamoring to swear not to kill Yang Ling.

But they don't have the ability to shake Yang Ling now, after all, the troops under Yang Ling's command are not vegetarians, but fortunately, the little devils took action for them, and they also took the opportunity to offer a reward, hoping to get rid of Yang Ling with the help of the devil's hands.

Seeing the infighting of the Chinese, the devils are naturally happy to see it, not only can they consume the resistance of the Chinese army, but also get a reward, why not.

At this moment, Yang Ling, who was leading the troops to march to Bao's emergency army, didn't know that his head was already worth 50,000 oceans, and he was now not only a thorn in the side of the little devil, but also a person who the Nanjing puppet government wanted to deal with quickly.
