"Ladies and gentlemen, this attack on Baoying is not only to pull out this nail embedded in our control area, but also a positive and practical response to the persuasion of the Nanjing puppet government to surrender!"

After hearing Yang Ling's words, the officers with excited faces all became serious, and they understood the significance of this attack on Baoying.

"We just want to use practical actions to tell those traitors and devils, don't try to lure us down, as long as the little devils don't leave the border for a day, then our Northern Jiangsu Corps, our Chinese soldiers will continue to fight, even if there is only one shot left, we will never retreat, never surrender!" Yang Ling's words came from the bottom of his heart, deafening,

"Fight to the death! Never surrender! The officers responded with serious faces.

"Raising troops for a thousand days and using troops for a while, this attack on Baoying, only victory, not defeat, do you have confidence?!" Yang Ling asked with a straight face.

"Yes!"

The faces of the brethren were full of confidence, and they couldn't wait to attack.

"I command!"

The officers sitting straight on both sides of the long table all looked at Yang Ling one after another.

"First battalion commander!"

"Yes!" The blacksmith stood up.

"Your battalion is responsible for clearing the enemy in the villages east of Baoying, guarding the east of Baoying, and preventing the 13th Devil Infantry from forming a mixed brigade to reinforce Baoying."

"Yes!"

Although they did not let a battalion fight the main attack, but were only responsible for cleaning the perimeter, the blacksmith did not care in the slightest, and took the order without any hesitation.

"Camp Commander Xie!"

After the blacksmith sat down, Yang Ling turned his gaze to Xie Zhengxiang, the fourth battalion commander who was sitting there and didn't know what to think.

Xie Zhengxiang, the commander of the fourth battalion, has been extremely low-key these days, because Nanjing sent people to contact him, and after being warned by Yang Ling, he did not act as high-profile as he did a few days ago.

"In!" Xie Zhengxiang heard Yang Ling call his name and hurriedly stood up.

Yang Ling glanced at Xie Zhengxiang twice, and said, "Battalion Commander Xie, your four battalions are the main attack in the east of the city this time. ”

Xie Zhengxiang didn't expect Yang Ling to let their four battalions serve as the main attack, and he was stunned for a long time without reacting.

In this kind of very sure battle, it is usually the chief's henchmen who take the credit for the main attack, and now it is actually given to him, is it a conspiracy? Xie Zhengxiang's head was spinning rapidly.

"Old Xie ......"

Seeing Xie Zhengxiang standing there without speaking, Liu Zhi, the fifth battalion commander next to him, hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes to remind.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Xie Zhengxiang also reacted and hurriedly agreed.

"The fifth battalion is responsible for the guard west of Baoying to prevent reinforcements from the devils on the Anhui side."

"The second battalion attacked from the south of the city."

"The fifth and seventh guerrilla detachments are responsible for the removal of the puppet army artillery towers and strongholds in the north of the city."

"The 3rd Battalion is responsible for the feint attack on the southern front."

......

Yang Ling acted resolutely, since he wanted to fight Baoying, he didn't hesitate without any hesitation, and quickly arranged the order.

"Old Sun, are all the ammunition and food ready?" Yang Ling didn't talk nonsense, and after arranging the order, he turned his gaze to Sun Chong, the quartermaster.

The units have undergone retraining and training, and their combat effectiveness is no longer the same, and he is not worried about not being able to defeat the head of the lower realm, and now it is precisely the details of the problem, especially the logistical support.

Sun Chong suddenly stood up and replied: "The ammunition has been distributed, and all the officers and soldiers have prepared dry rations for five days. ”

"The medical team and the stretcher team must also be ready to rescue the wounded at any time."

"Yes!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, tell the brothers below that countless people are watching us, and they must show me a desperate posture and kill the enemy bravely! Whoever retreats from the war and becomes a deserter will have ruthless military law! Yang Ling said sharply.

Yang Ling's military meeting ended quickly, and all the battalion commanders rushed out and actively prepared.

After two days of preparation, the mighty troops drove out of the camp and swaggered towards Gaoyou to the south.

Although the main target of the troops was Hoo in the north, in order to confuse the devils, all the troops were required to march south during the day.

The officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Corps marched in two columns in the direction of Gaoyou, waving their flags, and the energetic officers and men rolled up the smoke and dust in the sky, and the cold bayonets were like a forest of bayonets.

Seeing such a large and majestic procession, the people along the way were dancing excitedly, standing on both sides of the road to cheer and shout for the troops.

"Destroy the little devils! Recover Gaoyou! ”

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"The sword is aimed at Nanjing!"

"Down with the traitors! Recover all of China! ”

The military propaganda team under the Northern Jiangsu Corps was not idle, and in order to build momentum for this feint offensive on the southern front, they painted slogans and pulled banners on the walls of the villages on both sides of the road.

The troops are marching south, countless ammunition and supplies are also gathering in the south, and all the intelligence shows that the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Corps has been assembled and is about to attack Gaoyou again.

"The main force of the Zhina Army has left the head of the realm and marched towards Gaoyou!"

"The troops dispatched by the Northern Jiangsu Corps this time are at least 5,000 people."

"The vanguard troops of the Northern Jiangsu Corps have arrived at the Daxian Temple."

......

The Northern Jiangsu Corps marched to the south with great fanfare, and the spies of those hidden traitors and devils were also panicked, and hurriedly sent the news that the Northern Soviet Corps was about to attack Gaoyou through various channels.

"Your Excellency Detachment Commander, the Guerrilla Corps of Northern China has been dispatched and is coming to Gaoyou!" The devil's intelligence staff officer also reported to the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi for the first time.

When the detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi got the news, he was also stunned, he didn't expect that the Northern Jiangsu Corps would dare to take the initiative to attack.

"Is the information accurate?" The leader of the devil detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, asked with a calm face.

"It is true that a large number of Chinese troops have also been found active near the blockade line, and they are showing signs of launching a large-scale attack." The devil's intelligence staff replied.

"Hahaha, the people of China are really overwhelmed!" When he heard that the news was accurate, the head of the devil's detachment, Watanabe Shouichi, couldn't help but laugh.

They now have six brigades of artillery and infantry in Gaoyou, and they are already waiting for them.

The main reason why they did not launch an attack to the north was that they wanted to extort more benefits from the puppet government in Nanjing.

But what they didn't expect was that before they launched an attack, the Northern Jiangsu Corps took the initiative to send it to the door, which made Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil detachment, have the illusion that it takes no effort to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to find them.

"Closely monitor the movements of the Chinese army!"

"Order Gaoyou's brigades to immediately end their rest and enter a state of combat readiness!"

Watanabe Shouichi, the captain of the devil's detachment, became excited, since the Northern Jiangsu Corps took the initiative to send it to the door, he had no reason to let it go.

Soon, the devils in Gaoyou City all moved in unison, distributed ammunition and materials, and began active preparations to prepare for the attack of the Northern Jiangsu Army.

At the emergency military meeting, after the advice of the staff officers, Watanabe Shouichi, the leader of the devil detachment, decided to wait for work, let the forward troops retreat one by one, and put the Northern Jiangsu Corps under Gaoyou City, and then concentrate the superior forces to annihilate them in one fell swoop!
