The brothers of the two reconnaissance platoons were scattered, but it was indeed a heavy task to find out the situation within a radius of fifty miles in a short time.

Yang Ling also knew that there were many dreams at night, in case this was not a conspiracy of the devils, the main force of the devils stationed in Huaiyin had really gone south to Yancheng, and when the devils came back, they would miss an opportunity.

Less than an hour after the brothers of the reconnaissance platoon left, the two search companies, led by the battalion commander Wang Huzi, also tightened their leggings, left the hidden village, and searched south.

The wait was long and torturous, and it was not until noon the next day that the brothers who had been reconnoitring in all directions returned.

"No hostile information was found in the north."

"All the places in the east where cars and people could hide were searched, and no hidden enemy was found."

"No devils have been found in the west."

"In the south, we went all the way to the boundary close to Baoying, and we didn't find any devils, and we inquired along the way, and the devils' convoy went to Yancheng, where there was a big battle going on these days."

Although Wang Huzi and the others came back the latest, they also ran the farthest, all the way to the realm of Baoying.

The intelligence summarized by all parties shows that Huaiyin at this moment is a county with weak garrison, and as long as the tactics are appropriate, there may not be no chance to take him.

Now the brothers of the Third Guerrilla Detachment have greatly improved their military qualities in the course of repeated battles, and in the face of the county town, which is almost guarded by the puppet army, everyone's hearts are on fire.

As soldiers, it is an honor to regain the lost land and reorganize the rivers and mountains, as long as they recover Huaiyin City, they can not only deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army.

What is more important is to tell the vast number of fathers and villagers in the occupied areas that the Chinese army has not given up on them, and the Chinese army is still resisting, which can greatly boost the morale of the people in the occupied areas.

Yang Ling believes that the spark will burn the prairie fire, as long as people dare to stand up and fight the little devil, and no longer be the so-called good citizens who are obedient, then the little devil's garrison will soon be eaten away.

"Tuanza, let's fight!"

"There aren't many enemies in the city, we can eat them in one bite!"

"I heard that there are still a lot of weapons and ammunition stored in the city, and if we take Huaiyin, we can expand the army again."

......

Not only did the battalion and company commanders ask Yang Ling to fight with high morale, but even the staff officers in the headquarters couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and wanted to recover Huaiyin.

"Then, then let's take Huaiyin!" Yang Ling saw that the morale of the brothers was high, so he took advantage of the situation.

Now that the Ninth Guerrilla Column has been wiped out, and they have eliminated a lot of devils, it is better to take advantage of the high morale and go to the next city, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake.

What's more, now Huaiyin's Yamaguchi Brigade has been sent south to fight the troops of the 89th Army, which gives them an opportunity.

The so-called time and place are favorable, and if they cower and dare not fight, it will not fall into the prestige of their guerrillas.

When the order was issued, nearly 1,000 brothers from the two guerrilla battalions actively made preparations, checked weapons and ammunition, prepared dry rations, and re-tied their leggings, and the village was busy.

The fathers and villagers who have been forbidden to go out of the village in the past few days heard that Yang Ling was going to fight devils, and they also took out the rice, flour and meat at home, cooked food for the brothers, and gave them support within their ability.

"Company commander, do you say there are any female devils in Huaiyin City?" Li Dequan put the polished bayonet into the bayonet scabbard, and asked the company commander with a smile on his knife.

"Tsk, I said Li Dequan, you have a good appetite, you still can't look down on our Chinese women?" The company commander looked at Li Dequan and made a smacking sound from his mouth.

Li Dequan also hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I be, I've been fighting for a few months, and all I see are grinning devil soldiers, I wonder what female devils look like, are they also ruthless." ”

"That's for sure, they were all born in a nest, the devil soldiers are not as good as beasts, and I don't think that female devil is much better." The big horse stick next to him continued to talk.

"That's not necessarily, I've heard that female devils have fine skin and tender meat." There were also brothers who disagreed.

The company commander sat down and lit a cigarette in his mouth, and then said slowly: "What do you know, let me tell you, this devil is also a human being, and there are good and bad, don't look at the little devil who is fierce to us, maybe in his own family, he is also a good father and a good husband." ”

"Company commander, don't bluff us, that little devil is fierce and vicious, can he be as good as you say?" Some brothers did not believe.

Li Dequan also didn't believe it: "Company commander, since you said that the little devils are so good at home, why do you say that their wives and children are not at home, and they have to come to beat us?" ”

"This... This one... You have the right to be a little devil, and you have lost your mind. The company commander's knife was hesitant for a long time, so he had to leave the next sentence and slip away.

Seeing that the company commander's knife had slipped away, the brothers didn't know why, and they didn't bother to learn what they couldn't understand anyway.

Anyway, when the little devils come to burn, kill and loot on the land of China, they can't sit idly by, they have to fight with them and destroy them.

"When the time comes, there are female devils in Huaiyin City, you have to keep them for me and don't kill them, let me see what they look like." Li Dequan saw the knife leave, and everyone pulled the topic back to the woman.

The officers and men of the two battalions waited in the village until dark, and then took advantage of the cover of the night to leave the village, and the team went straight to Huaiyin City.

When Yang Ling and the others marched towards Huaiyin City, the car convoy loaded with more than a hundred elite little devils also arrived in Huaiyin after nightfall.

"Who are you?"

When the captain of the team who stayed in Huaiyin heard that his own team had arrived outside the city, he did not dare to slack off, and hurried to confirm.

A thin and cold devil officer took out his officer certificate and handed it to the devil squad leader, the squad leader glanced at the lamp, and was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the officer card and handed it back to the devil officer, and stood up and saluted.

"Sir, is there anything we need to do?" The leader of the devil squad said respectfully.

The devil officer glanced at the puppet soldiers guarding around him, frowned, and said, "What about Yamaguchi-kun?" ”

The leader of the devil squad replied 1510: "His Excellency Captain Yamaguchi has already led people to reinforce in the direction of Yancheng, and he is not in the city at present. ”

The devil officer showed a look of sudden realization, and immediately ordered: "Find us a quiet place to stay, prepare some food and fuel for the military vehicles, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hey!" The leader of the devil squad hurriedly rushed to the sentry post and made a call to the city.

"Sir, please follow me."

As he spoke, the captain of the devil squad got on the side three-wheeled motorcycle he had come, led the convoy into the city, and went straight to the accommodation he had arranged.

The convoy stopped at the gate of a compound, and the devil soldiers who got out of the car did not wait for orders to take over the nearby sentry posts.

Their resolute style made the devils who were originally guarding the sentry post also unknown, standing in place and not moving, but being glared at by the cold eyes of the new devils, they felt weak in their hearts, and turned their eyes to their squad leader for help.

The leader of the devil's squad naturally didn't dare to offend these people wearing skull badges in front of him, he waved his hand to signal them to withdraw, and the devils on the original sentry post quickly and obediently withdrew.
