Because the number of armed people gathered from these regions was too large, there were not so many places in the surrounding areas of Huaiyin, and Yang Ling did not have so much food to give them.

Therefore, Yang Ling gave them firearms, and after fulfilling his promise, he asked most of the people to go directly back to the original area for training, and the people in charge of the training were sent by Yang Ling.

Yang Ling and these anti-Japanese armed forces held a meeting, and finally everyone unanimously agreed to jointly establish a general anti-Japanese association in northern Jiangsu, and the president was Yang Ling, who was the strongest.

The reason why Yang Ling took the lead in establishing this anti-Japanese general association in northern Jiangsu was also to break the state of the anti-Japanese armed forces in various villages and towns in northern Jiangsu fighting separately and unify them into the command system of the guerrillas.

As a result of these anti-Japanese armed forces, some of them were subordinate to the command of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, and some were formed spontaneously, and this category accounted for the majority, as well as small scattered regular armies and guerrilla units subordinate to the Military Commission.

Each of them has its own territory, and because of their weak numbers and strength, they have always been on the defensive.

Once the little devils go to fight them, they can't resist them, and the surrounding troops, because they don't belong to each other, basically won't go to the rescue.

Because no one is willing to take risks to save irrelevant people, they are all guarding their own family's one-third of an acre of land to live, if other anti-Japanese forces cross the border, maybe there will be a fight between the two sides.

Yang Ling summoned the heads of these armed forces to Huaiyin on the pretext of sending guns, and then took the lead in establishing this anti-Japanese general association in northern Jiangsu, which also hoped that there would no longer be internal friction, but unity and cooperation, and common external affairs.

Fortunately, the heads of these anti-Japanese armed forces also realized that their guns were not the opponents of the little devils, and they were also very tired of internal friction between each other, so they all agreed to Yang Ling's proposal.

In principle, the various armed forces under the General Assembly are still stationed in their original areas, but they have to exchange information with each other, and when they fight, they no longer fight alone, but gather together to fight according to the object of the battle, and the spoils of war are also divided equally according to the number of troops dispatched.

Yang Ling, the person in charge of the association, in addition to giving these anti-Japanese fighters their obsolete weapons to enhance their strength, also sent people to help them train soldiers.

Because many of these anti-Japanese armed forces are spontaneous, and many of them have not undergone military training, their military literacy is not high, and even the puppet army cannot defeat them.

Yang Ling, on the other hand, sent a group of instructors to help them train soldiers, while secretly spreading patriotic ideas and instilling the concept of national supremacy.

Yang Ling believed that as long as the troops that had been trained by their instructors would slowly fall under their guerrilla system after a long time, this was a boiled frog in warm water.

Most of these anti-Japanese forces returned to their original places of origin, and Yang Ling sent officers to train them, while some of the stronger ones were left by Yang Ling in Huaiyin for training, as guerrilla reserve training, ready to enter their units at any time.

Although the treatment of these anti-Japanese armed forces in Huaiyin was not as good as that of Yang Ling's regular guerrilla officers and soldiers, it was not much worse.

So even if their person in charge was unwilling, the people under them were unwilling to go back, and they were very helpless, so they could only borrow a donkey to stay in Huaiyin.

The officers sent by Yang Ling for training stayed with these people in the reserve all day long, eating and sleeping together, winning the favor of ordinary officers and soldiers, and at the same time overthrowing their original commanders in disguise.

Although their original commander also understood this truth, but now the troops can no longer be brought back, not to mention the officers and soldiers under their hands, there is a regular guerrilla battalion stationed next to them.

The officers and men of this guerrilla battalion all followed Yang Ling all the way from Xiaowangzhuang, and they almost participated in the whole process from the initial attack on the little devils with cold guns and cold guns to the final frontal battle.

Although the strength of these guerrilla battalions with rich combat experience cannot defeat small devils of the same size, they still have a chance to win against ordinary troops.

Although Yang Ling's appearance is a little ugly, on the whole, it can be regarded as a large number of forces, which can be supplemented into the guerrilla battalions at any time.

These armed forces in various regions left in Huaiyin have more or less fought with puppet armies or small groups of devils, and although they have lost more and won less, they can be regarded as having combat experience.

Therefore, the training for them is more in terms of military discipline and operational coordination, rather than training from scratch like recruits.

Yang Ling, the current supreme military commander in the Huaiyin region, is still from a field army, so he naturally has a deep background, and his personal visit to these troops naturally makes these ordinary officers and soldiers feel that their faces are shining, and they feel that the commander still cares about them.

And Yang Ling has been working for so long now, and he is also well aware of this psychology of the brothers.

Therefore, when he arrived at the training camp of these anti-Japanese armed forces stationed in a nearby village, he also behaved amiably.

Not only was he very polite to their commanders, but he also greeted ordinary officers and soldiers, and sat down to talk to them.

Seeing that Chief Yang was so approachable, he quickly won the support of a large number of ordinary officers and soldiers, after all, there are not many officers like this who can get along with ordinary officers and soldiers.

In particular, Yang Ling was talking to these brothers about his experience of bloody battles with little devils on the Shanghai battlefield and the Nanjing battlefield, which made these officers and soldiers respect Yang Ling in awe.

After all, they are all soldiers, and the blood in the bones of soldiers is hot, and the heroes they admire the most are those heroes who have stood up to the heavens and the earth, because soldiers worship heroes more than others.

Yang Ling's recounting of these experiences made these officers and soldiers enthusiastic, and at the same time, they also identified with Yang Ling even more, feeling that they were all the way.

Unlike the generals like Yang Ling who came out of the battlefield of the Blood Sea of Corpse Mountain, their original commanders were all patriotic squires, and many of them had never fought, so compared with the two, they were naturally much inferior.

Of course, Yang Ling didn't mean to show off, and told the brothers about his experience of the bloody battles in Shanghai and Nanjing, but also to tell them that the little devil was fierce and brutal and awakened their sense of resistance.

"Brothers, the little devils are extremely vicious, don't look at the people in the occupied areas who say that they want to establish a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle, and they want to coexist and prosper, but they wantonly slaughter our compatriots in many places, and sometimes the whole village is left without people and animals, so we must resist to the end, and we can't be slaves of the country!"

"Do you know, on the front line of the Great Wall, the little devil has established a human circle, do you know what a human circle is?" Yang Ling explained indignantly: "The village they burned down drove all the people to live in the earthen polder they built, just like animals, they can't go in and out, they can't go from house to house, and once they get out of the earthen polder, they will be shot immediately!" ”

When the brothers heard Yang Ling's story, their faces were full of anger, and their fists squeaked, and they could imagine what kind of scene it was, almost treating people like animals.
