It was late at night, and the cold wind was biting on the quiet field, and in the howling cold wind, there was a faint rustling sound of feet stepping on the dry grass, and it soon disappeared without a trace.

The officers and men of the eight companies of the guerrillas marched on the dark field, and the whole marching contingent was silent, and a heavy murderous aura was hidden in the solemn atmosphere.

Yang Ling's target was Huaiyin, and it was easy to expose the team during the day, so most of their actions were carried out at night.

At night, with the cover of night, the devils can be taken by surprise, and even if the operation fails, they can quickly evacuate, so the guerrillas train mostly at night on weekdays.

Although the devil soldiers have high military literacy and strong combat effectiveness, it is difficult for the artillery to calibrate the firing parameters at night and provide effective support to the infantry, so most of them fight during the day.

Although the little devil tried to avoid night battles, it didn't mean that the little devils wouldn't fight at night, so Yang Ling and the others had to ensure the suddenness of the attack.

It is necessary to defeat the left-behind devils and puppet soldiers in Huaiyin County in one fell swoop before they can react, otherwise if it becomes a brutal street fight, it will be more than worth the loss.

The brothers of the eight companies quietly advanced towards Huaiyin, taking as many paths as possible along the way, avoiding several villages and strongholds garrisoned by the puppet army.

After all, there are dogs in the village, and there are sentinels in the stronghold of the puppet army, so they are worried that the troops will be exposed in advance, so that the defenders of Huaiyin are on guard.

Yang Ling led the brothers of the guerrillas along the way, arrived outside Huaiyin City without danger, and lurked on the spot, waiting for the order to attack.

"Turn off the safety and beware of the gun misfire......"

The order was whispered among the brothers, and the brothers lurking in the shadows were like beasts in the field, ready to strike a fierce blow at the devil at any time.

Wang Huzi, Wu Changqing, Blacksmith, Wu Gang, Liu Jinhu and other officers all put their heads under a thick rain cloth that was cut off from the light, and Yang Ling took the simple map that had just been drawn by the scout brothers, turned on a flashlight, and assigned them orders.

The thick tarpaulin blocked all the light from the flashlight, and around the tarpaulin, more than 20 brothers from the guard platoon also formed a circle to form a human wall, making a second barrier to block the light.

"Wei Qing, wait for the devils in the direction of the West Gate and the guards on the periphery of the puppet army to be solved by your special combat team." Yang Ling first handed over this important task to the special combat team.

"Yes!"

The Flame Special Combat Team is not many now, but is it better than the elite, Wei Qing's eyes are sharp and confident, and he is confident that he will take out the sentinels of the devil and the puppet army without much effort.

"Blacksmith, you are responsible for commanding our artillery company, blasting me a hole in the field fortifications outside the devil's city, opening a passage for the infantry to attack, but you have to remember that only the field fortifications on the periphery can not fall into the city, and there are still our fathers and villagers in the city, so you can't hurt them."

"Huzi, after the artillery tears the gap in the defense line outside the city, you will go up with sharp knives and intersperse in the city, don't care about those devil stragglers, they have people behind us to clean up, your task is to rush into the city in one go, don't give the devils time to react."

"Changqing, I will take the second, third, fourth, and fifth companies to follow the sharp knife company along the gap to expand the results of the battle, and you are responsible for taking the sixth and seventh companies to attack both sides along the tore gap to clear the remnants of the devil and the puppet army."

"Zheng Gang, after attacking the city, you take three companies to control the devil's material warehouse and ammunition depot, don't let the devil take the opportunity to burn it."

"Captain Liu, you follow us to take charge of the command to eliminate the devils."

......

Yang Ling pointed to the simple map of the city drawn by the scout brothers at the risk of their lives, and gave orders to the officers under his command.

Everyone also had serious faces, and they all remembered their tasks and the location of the target they were going to attack, and after they all memorized and confirmed that there was no problem, Yang Ling turned off the flashlight and got out of the thick rain cloth that covered him.

The devils built field fortifications and ring machine gun fortifications at various entrances out of the city, and built bunkers to control the passage in and out of the city.

The devil's personality is very rigid, they will build field fortifications according to the requirements of the regulations everywhere they go, even if they only stay for one night, they will definitely not be lazy.

So almost wherever the devils go, their field fortifications will be built, although most of the time they belong to the attacking side, but they still do not forget to build fortifications.

The devil's field fortifications were built according to the standard, and Huaiyin County had no city wall, only an earthen polder, so the devils built field fortifications on the periphery in case of emergency.

A few days ago, the officers and men of the Ninth Guerrilla Column suffered all their hardships in front of these seemingly inconspicuous field fortifications, and finally broke their heads and bled out.

And this time, Yang Ling did not attack the whole line like the guerrilla column, because the troops were deployed, and the attack power was insufficient.

He chose the direction of the West Gate as the point of attack, as long as a hole was torn in the direction of the West Gate, they implemented the tactics of breaking through the center, and swept to both wings to expand the results of the battle when they entered it, which was more successful.

When the devils were in Shanghai, they also liked to fight the tactics of breaking through the center, and they used field heavy artillery and naval guns to open the way, and combined with the powerful attack power of the infantry, it was easy to tear a gap in the defense line of the Chinese army.

At that time, the number of the Chinese troops in Shanghai was complicated, and once the defense line was torn open and the devils were interspersed, the defense line could easily collapse.

And often if the rear command wants to plug the gap and stabilize the defensive line, it often has to fill in a few divisions, and with a bombardment of the devil's naval artillery, several divisions will soon be killed and wounded.

Yang Ling and the others also concentrated their forces to implement the tactics of breaking through the center this time, because in a hurry, the devil thought of plugging the gap, and it was impossible to have enough troops.

Yang Ling and the others quickly got ready, and touched towards Huaiyin, who was close at hand, because it was very close to Huaiyin, in order to avoid being discovered, they all crawled forward on the ground.

Wei Qing, the captain of the Flame Special Combat Team, walked at the front of the team with eight officers and soldiers of the Special Combat Team, responsible for solving the outposts on the periphery of the devils and the puppet army.

On the sentry tower outside the west gate, a puppet soldier is mechanically turning the searchlight with his hand, the dazzling searchlight sweeps the ditch and the barren grass, and several puppet army swim sentinels with guns on their backs and shivering from the cold are stomping their feet back and forth.

As soon as the beam of the searchlight swept by, several ghostly black shadows suddenly burst out of the darkness behind the puppet army's swimming post.

They were in good shape, and they pounced directly on their respective targets, and the cold bayonet they held in one hand had quickly wiped the throat of the puppet army, bringing out a stream of warm blood.

Several puppet soldiers' swimming posts barely made any sound before they cut their throats and put them down in the grass, and they didn't stop at all after putting down the puppet army, and quietly touched the puppet army's machine gun trench.
