In the dark and rumbling night, the cold air from Gaoyou Lake is cold and biting, and the dark and deep Gaoyou Lake is like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open, which makes people's hearts palpitate.

The cold wind was blowing, the reeds by the lake were undulating in the wind, and in the fields and barren grass near the pier near Jieshou, a large area of black pressure was full of armed guerrilla officers and soldiers.

The traitors wanted to attack the temporary headquarters of the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu, paralyze the command organs of the defenders of the Jietou, and thus cause chaos in the Jietou.

However, these arrogant and arrogant traitors and gunmen underestimated the reaction and combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the guard company where the general commander was located, so that they did not succeed in one blow, but fell into passivity.

In just a few hours, the brothers of the intelligence department took out several of their hiding strongholds one after another according to the confessions of the captured traitors, and even captured a devil spy.

The devil's spy was tough, and he couldn't resist and committed suicide by biting his tongue, but the other traitor leaders were not so backbone.

A complete set of torture tools has not been used up yet, and they can't bear the pain of all the moves, including the location of the devil's landing, the strength and time of the troops, and the joint code, all of which are clearly felt.

Yang Ling is also preparing to come up with a plan, since the devils want to land at the head of the realm at night, then he has set up an ambush, preparing to wipe out these devils.

The area of Gaoyou Lake is very large, connecting the Huaiyin boundary to the north, and the Yangtze River to the south, and the head of the boundary is located on the east bank of Gaoyou Lake to the north.

The Devil's Motorboat Force originally wanted to cooperate with the Devil's Sano Detachment to land at Gaoyou City and capture Gaoyou, but Gaoyou's Sulu Guerrilla Corps withdrew in just one day.

So much so that the devil's powerboat squadron was useless, and they were temporarily assigned to the command of the Sano detachment, so they were ordered to go north along the Gaoyou Lake, preparing to capture the head of the boundary and open up the connection with the Baoying garrison.

Because the Jieshou has been mixed with a lot of traitors and gunmen, it stands to reason that it is completely certain to capture the Jieshou guarded by the Chinese guerrillas, but now the Devil Powerboat Squadron does not know that they are getting into the death trap.

Because there were more than 200 people in a motorboat squadron of devils, Yang Ling also attached great importance to it, and appointed the battalion commander Wu Changqing as the ambush commander, staff officer Lei Xiong, and deputy battalion commander Dao Zi to assist.

At the same time, a large number of elite soldiers such as "crazy wolf", "kettle" and "bald man" were dispatched, and vowed to wipe out all the devils who came to attack.

The battalion commander Wu Changqing was in danger during the day and his command was determined, so Yang Ling also reused him this time, hoping to train him to become a cutting-edge general who stood alone.

After Wu Changqing received Yang Ling's order, he did not dare to slack off, took Yang Ling's order, transferred five infantry companies, and two machine gun companies arrived at the designated ambush position after night.

At the same time, Yang Ling also asked the battalion commander Shen Biao to take a company of brothers under his command to collect some fishing boats and ambush them in the shallow water in the reeds, responsible for encircling the devils.

It was already the end of December, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and although the brothers were distributed cotton clothes sewn by the Huaiyin Quilt Factory and smeared their hands with antifreeze lard, their lips were still black and shivering.

"Why hasn't this little devil come yet, can't it be that the news has leaked?"

As the minutes passed, Lei Xiong, a staff officer nestled in the reeds, looked a little impatient.

Wu Changqing was very calm and calm, put his hand into the bag sewn by the rain cloth to block the light, turned on the flashlight and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, there is still an hour before the appointed time." ”

"Knife, you go to the position of the machine gun company and keep an eye on it, adjust the predetermined shooting parameters, you must wait until all the devils are ashore before fighting, remember, don't break the ship, that's a good thing."

"Yes!" The newly promoted lieutenant commander of the major answered with a knife, and then turned around with his guards and went into the darkness, walking towards the position of the machine gun company.

While the officers and men of the guerrillas were suffering in the cold night, the squadron of devil motorboats on the surface of Gaoyou Lake was also uncomfortable.

Although the devils were wrapped in thick cotton clothes, after all, they were staying on the water, and the damp and cold air soaked into the bone marrow, making them almost unconscious of their hands and feet.

Because the devils were worried about approaching the Jieshou during the day, they had been hiding in a small river downstream until it was dark before they quietly approached the Jieshou Wharf.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

The squadron leader of the devil stood on the motorboat, and the cold wind made his face feel like a knife, but the strips of cloth hanging on the sides of his hat made his ears feel better.

"Report Captain, no anomalies found." The devil's observer was holding a Cao Chang mirror in his hand and had been observing the situation on the shore.

It's a pity that there is no light at all in the darkness on the shore, only the Jieshou Town not far away has a bright light, so that the devil does not find any abnormalities.

"Sir, there's a signal from the shore."

At this time, the devil's observer saw a faint flash on the pier of the head of the realm, which was the light from the flashlight.

"Three long and one short, it's our people."

"Let the third ship go and make contact, and we won't be exposed for the time being."

The squadron leader of the devil was sure that the time was correct, and although he also saw the flashes on the shore, he was still more cautious.

Their motorboat squadron is subordinate to the river defense unit and has always been responsible for the defense of the Yangtze River.

Machine guns were erected on the motorboats, but once they came ashore, their strength was greatly reduced, after all, they were not army units.

But this time, it was also a task that had to be carried out by going ashore to sneak attack and take the head of the realm, because they were temporarily transferred to the command of the Sano detachment.

Soon, at the signal of the flashlight, a motorboat did not turn on its lights, and the rumbling motor sounded, heading towards the Jieshou Pier.

"The devil is coming." Seeing the sound of a motor in the darkness, a partisan brother dressed in civilian clothes looked a little excited.

Wang Dongming, who was disguised as a ghost spy, frowned: "It seems that there is just a boat coming, you go to the back and tell Battalion Commander Wu, don't act rashly yet." ”

Soon, a devil motorboat docked, and on the pier at the head of the world, there were still more than 20 fishing boats, and Wang Dongming took two brothers to meet them.

"Is it Mizuta's troops?" Wang Dongming was very polite and asked in Japanese from afar.

"You're Yoshikawa-san."

A devil squad leader, surrounded by more than a dozen devils, jumped down from above and spread the vigilance before the motorboat could stop.

"Hey, here's my ID." Wang Dongming handed over his documents, which were seized from the devil spy, but the photo on it was temporarily replaced by Wang Dongming's.

The captain of the devil squad took out a flashlight and looked at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he relaxed his vigilance.

"Why is it only you on one ship?" Wang Dongming glanced at the dark lake a few times, and asked with some confusion.

The leader of the devil squad smiled and said, "Yoshikawa-san, we are also just in case, the people of Shina are cunning and cunning. ”

"Send a signal to the squadron leader."

"Hey!"

Soon, the flashlight flashed, signaling the safety of the shore to the lake, and the devil motorboats drove towards the dock with wind and waves.
