The staff officers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps were also promoted from the grassroots level, and they were not like those weak scholars from regular military academies, but iron soldiers who fought out of the smoke of gunpowder, and they had a clear distinction between love and hate.

When Yang Ling and the others were fighting in Gaoyou and the devils and the puppet army, the Sulu guerrilla corps couldn't see the figures, but now that they were in the tail stage, they were coming quickly.

The purpose of Li Changjiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, to lead the people to rush to Gaoyou this time is self-evident, that is, he wants to get a piece of the pie and share some credit, and how can these staff officers under Yang Ling endure this breath.

It's like cooking a pot of meat after hard work, and they haven't tasted it yet, but they are taken away by others, and they are naturally unwilling.

"Chief Yang, you just give the order, in less than half an hour, I will be able to destroy all the remaining little devils!"

"I'll take people to Sheka, the people of the Sulu guerrilla corps want to pick peaches, and they want to be beautiful!"

……

The staff officers were all shouting indignantly, and they were very ashamed of the behavior of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Changjiang, and they all wanted to clean up quickly, so that he could empty the bamboo basket and draw water.

Such a thing as snatching merit was very prevalent in the Chinese army at this time, and the so-called crooked upper beam was crooked and the lower beam was crooked, and this unhealthy trend could be seen on the chairman of the NPC National Committee.

Whenever there is merit, he will send the central army to get a piece of the pie, and often the provincial and local troops who have fought hard and bloody battles have suffered heavy losses only as a symbolic praise, while the central army troops have done nothing but hyped it up.

In particular, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Northeast Army entered the customs, and there were many bloody battles with little devils with national hatred and family hatred, but they were often lost in the first battle, and instead of being replenished, they were cut off, and there were countless such incidents.

The impact is also extremely bad, although in the early stage, all the armies fought bloody battles with the little devils, but now, many people have also learned to be smart, that is, to preserve their strength.

There are also many people in the Sulu Theater who want to preserve their strength, and on the surface it is the Chongqing Army, which receives military salaries, ammunition and materials under the banner of resisting Japan, but secretly they have eyebrows with the little devils, and even privately signed an agreement to set up a buffer zone.

As long as the little devils don't enter their territory, they won't take the initiative to fight the devils, the two sides have a tacit coexistence, and even have contacts, but because they can't catch the evidence, Chongqing is also helpless.

For example, Yan Xishan, commander of the Shanxi Theater of Operations, even held a so-called alliance with the devils and signed an alliance, all of which was done in broad daylight, and the grim situation of the War of Resistance in China can be seen.

Although the staff officers shouted indignantly that they could not let Li Changjiang, the deputy commander of the Sulu guerrillas, take the credit, Yang Ling thought of something further.

Didn't you Li Changjiang come to grab credit? Aren't you trying to preserve your strength and secretly make a fool of you?

Okay, I'll just do it, let you and the little devil face each other, pull you into the water, and see that you still maintain a tacit understanding with the little devil, and then I can't help you.

"Listen to me." Yang Ling knocked on the table to stop the staff officers' angry shouting, and always pointed to the gray room, and immediately fell silent.

Yang Ling is known for his majesty in the First Guerrilla Corps in Northern Jiangsu, after all, the First Corps was founded by him, and these officers were all promoted by him, and they were all the only ones who looked forward to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Changjiang sent a telegram inviting them to join forces and attack Gaoyou, and now that they are here, how can it be said that they are here to grab merit? Do you think so? ”

"But, why didn't he come early or late, but he wanted to come at this time, obviously he wanted to come to grab credit."

Staff Officer Lei Xiong hadn't come back to his senses yet, and his face was still full of anger.

Yang Ling looked around and said, "You care so much about merit, are you only going to be a soldier to fight devils for promotion and wealth?"

Everyone shook their heads, and when they beat devils, they all pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers and licked the blood from the edge of their knives.

"We are soldiers, what is the duty of a soldier? It is our duty to defend the country and fight devils, so don't mention anything about grabbing credit or not, we have only one purpose, that is, to beat the little devils out of China and prevent our children and grandchildren from becoming slaves of the country! ”

Yang Ling's words were loud, making everyone look ashamed, their eyes were fixed on the merits, but they forgot their duties.

Staff Officer Lei Xiong stumped: "Sir, what you said makes sense, and we understand it, but the brothers have bled and fought hard to win Gaoyou, if they can get the credit, even if the death pension is higher, after all, everyone has wives and children, old and young, ......."

Yang Ling nodded: "This is natural, but have you ever thought about it, if we recover Gaoyou, plus Huaiyin, in just one month, our first anti-Japanese guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu will recover two county towns, brothers, the tree is a big wind......"

"Now the devil has dispatched two infantry brigades over, if we show this limelight again, not to mention the jealousy of friendly forces, the devil has been slapped in the face continuously, he will definitely take us to the knife, and when the time comes, he will launch a crazy revenge on us, can we run?"

Yang Ling said earnestly: "Besides, our brothers have suffered heavy casualties in the past few days, and we have no ability to fight hard with devils, we have just recovered Gaoyou, and we will be taken away by devils again immediately, I am afraid that others will laugh at us again for "three days of recovery", not to mention that we will not be rewarded at that time, I am afraid that we will be harshly punished." ”

After Yang Ling's analysis, everyone also calmed down, so it seems that there is no substantial benefit except for the good name of a Guangfu Gaoyou.

At this moment, Gaoyou seems to have become a hot potato, and if he can't hold it after recovery, not only will he not be rewarded, but he will be questioned by the theater command.

What's more important is that the tree is a big move, not only to recruit devils to retaliate, but also to recruit friendly soldiers to be jealous.

Yang Ling clearly remembered that the 74th Army had won too many battles on weekdays because of its big trees, which made friendly troops jealous.

As a result, the 57th Division under his command was surrounded by tens of thousands of devils in Changde, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese rescue troops on the periphery simply hesitated and watched the 57th Division run out.

That's a bloody lesson, aren't you quite capable of fighting, then let you fight first, and I'll clean up the mess after the fight.

Yang Ling didn't want his first anti-Japanese guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu to fall into such a trap, since he had already been in the limelight in Huaiyin, it was better for Gaoyou, a hot potato, to be polite to others.

"Of course, we have worked hard for so many days, and so many brothers have been killed and injured in battle, and we can't let others pick up the bargain for nothing." Yang Ling is not a person who likes to suffer.

Although he intended to give Gao You, a hot potato, to Li Changjiang, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps, he also wanted some benefits.

"Blacksmith, Wang Dongming, you take my message to go to Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li in person, just say that there is still an enemy in the city who is stubbornly resisting, and our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is unable to attack, so I ask him to come to reinforcements quickly, and at the same time, our Northern Jiangsu Corps has suffered a large loss, and is in urgent need of ammunition, food and medicine, and needs 200,000 rounds of bullets, 300,000 catties of food, and ask the infirmary how much medicine is needed, and make a list......

As soon as Yang Ling said this, everyone understood, Yang Ling was trading with Gaoyou, a broken city, compared to those vain rewards, it was best to get real things.

Now the theater command generally gives verbal commendations and issues certificates, and as for the rewards, they are always delayed, and they are prevaricated for various reasons, and in the end they are not resolved, so Yang Ling did not do anything, and directly traded Gaoyou City privately to exchange some pensions for the brothers who died in battle.

Anyway, the devils also fought, and the real things were also obtained, and their first anti-Japanese guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu did not lose.

And although Li Changjiang and the others got Gaoyou, they were afraid that they would have to face the crazy revenge of the devil soldiers next, and by the way, they were dragged into the water.
