Chapter 1046: Surface Patrol
The large-scale military training of the Northern Jiangsu Corps was in full swing, and not only officers at all levels attached great importance to it, but also every brother was enthusiastic.
At dawn each day, the brothers assembled in the Wake Up Signal and began a five-kilometre armed cross-country to warm up for the day's training.
For the first few days, the brothers carried guns to participate in such cross-country training, but now each brother has a heavy sandbag tied to his leg, which can choke the brothers.
After breakfast, the day's formal training began, and the brothers returned to the barracks every day covered in mud and unable to move.
Although it was a bit of a struggle at first, over time the brothers gradually got used to the intensity of the training.
Moreover, when the troops were training, they did not directly train at high intensity, but gradually increased the amount of training, so that the brothers had a process of adaptation.
Although it was only a week after the training began, the brothers seemed to have been reborn and had undergone a remarkable change, showing the toughness and fierceness of a soldier in their gestures.
The brothers trained hard, and Yang Ling's logistics support was also very good, first of all, in terms of meals, to ensure that the brothers could not only eat enough, but also eat well.
The food obtained from the headquarters of the Xinghua Deputy Theater was enough for the brothers to let go and eat until the beginning of spring, so there was no need for the Northern Jiangsu Corps to worry about food in a short period of time.
Moreover, Yang Ling ordered Major Sun Chong, the head of the Quartermaster Department, to purchase livestock from the people who had frozen to death and frostbite in nearby villages and towns, and to get them to be slaughtered in the camp to supplement the nutrition of the brothers.
At the same time, the head of the Jieshou is close to Gaoyou Lake, and there are many fishermen who make a living from fishing, and Yang Ling buys fatty big fish from them at the purchase price, and makes braised fish and boiled fish soup for the brothers.
Originally, the life of these fishermen was very difficult, although the fish in Gaoyou Lake were big and fat, but after all, the consumption power of the original head of the world was so much, and the fish delivered to the restaurant in a day were only dozens of catties, and most of them had to eat by themselves.
However, it is different now, although the patriotic battalion of the Northern Jiangsu Corps has been transferred back to Huaiyin to assist in defense, but there are still four or five thousand people left at the head of the boundary.
The spending power of so many people is quite terrifying, and Yang Ling is not forced to buy and sell, but buys from fishermen at market prices.
Therefore, in the past, when the fishing industry came to a standstill in winter, the fishermen at the head of the industry were very busy this winter.
Boatloads of big fish are loaded and unloaded at the wharf at the head of the border every day and then sent to the camp of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, which makes the fishermen earn a lot of money.
The area of Gaoyou Lake is very large, and there is a waterway to the south and the Yangtze River, to the north is Hongze Lake, the water area is wide, and there is no fishing flood in this era, so the fishery resources are abundant, Yang Ling is not worried that the fish in Gaoyou Lake will be fished out.
Because the officers and men of the Northern Jiangsu Corps absolutely did not force them to buy and sell when they traded, all of them were fair transactions, and the fishermen made more money, so naturally the news spread.
The small merchants and vendors everywhere all heard the news, and rushed to the head of the world to do business, and for a time the streets and alleys of the entire head of the world were filled with shouts and shouts.
Although this winter is very cold, it has become particularly lively in the world because of the war.
Although the little devil hibernated in Gaoyou City in the winter, he did not stop spying on the intelligence of the Chinese army everywhere.
When it was learned that a large number of fishing boats were fishing in Gaoyou Lake every day, although the devils could not attack the head of the border from the land direction because of the bad weather and the destruction of the roads along the way, they could come from the waterway.
Last time, the devils sent a water squadron to try to land from the pier of the head of the world, and then took the head of the world in one fell swoop.
But because of Yang Ling, they obtained information in advance, because they set up an ambush in advance to kill the devil's squadron on the water, and also captured seven or eight surface motorboats.
When the devils sent a motorboat patrol from Gaoyou Wharf to the north to harass and shoot at the fishing boats that were fishing on Gaoyou Lake, Yang Ling and the others were not to be outdone and fought back.
Yang Ling immediately recruited some of the former Chinese Marine Police officers and soldiers who had been dismissed and the able-bodied fishermen to form the first surface patrol team of their Northern Jiangsu Corps to protect these fishing boats operating in Gaoyou Lake.
With strong patriotic feelings, the officers and men of the surface patrol unit of the North Jiangsu Corps carried forward the spirit of daring to show their swords and fiercely counterattacked the intruding devil surface patrol unit.
In the three surface battles, the surface patrol of northern Jiangsu, with several motorboats as the main force and fishing boats as the auxiliary, struck hard and charged hard, inflicting heavy losses on the surface patrol of the devils.
Three of the motorboats were sunk in Gaoyou Lake by the surface patrol of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and 20 or 30 devils were killed.
After the devil's surface patrol team suffered three heavy losses, each time the surface patrol team of the Northern Jiangsu Corps began to flee from a distance, and did not dare to confront them.
The devil is also a goblin, although he did not dare to shoot those Chinese fishermen as arrogantly as before, but he paid attention to the sneak attack.
"Squad leader, there are fishermen from the Zhina Army ahead!"
The devils have become cautious now, and they don't dare to go out in broad daylight, and they want to take advantage of the dusk to come and sneak attack, and when they see more than a dozen fishing boats in the distance from the binoculars, they are all excited.
The leader of the devil's squad was burly and strong, and his whole body was wrapped in thick cotton clothes, but even so, the cold wind on the lake like a knife still made him feel like he was in an ice cellar.
"Rush forward and destroy them all!" The devil's squad leader's face became hideous, and he gave a vicious order.
The first few times they came here without knowing the depths, they were beaten by the surface patrol team of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and they also suffered a lot of losses.
This time, he was in command of a full five motorboats, just to avenge the previous few arrows.
"Full speed ahead!"
The devil's flag soldier standing at the bow of the boat quickly waved the flag to the rest of the motorboats, and with the rumbling sound of the motor, the devil's motorboat was like an arrow off the string, and pounced towards the fishing boat full of fresh fish in front.
"Oops, it's a little devil's steamboat!"
When they heard a few small black dots in the distance getting closer and closer, the fishermen who were full of fresh fish and talking and laughing all changed their faces wildly.
They are all fishing boats, and they don't have any combat capabilities, let alone the machine guns that crashed into the devil's motorboat, and even if they did, they could knock them over in the lake.
In this freezing weather, if you fall into the icy lake, you will shed your skin if you don't die.
"Run!" Some fishermen panicked and hurriedly paddled in the direction of Jieshou Pier.
"Run a fart, can we outrun the devil's steamboat, hurry up and send a signal! Help! The captain of the lead ship was quite calm, and hurriedly ordered.
Hearing the words of the boat boss, the panicked fishermen reacted, and hurriedly took out the signal gun given to them by the North Jiangsu Surface Patrol and pulled the trigger to the sky.
"Whew!"
A flare staggered into the sky, emitting a piercing whistling.
And as the flare rose into the sky, the piercing hand-cranked siren also whined, and the piercing sound was heard in the distance.
Only then did the hand-cranked sirens be captured by the little devils, and now they have become the standard equipment of the first-line observation posts of the North Jiangsu Corps in Yang Ling.
The No. 3 motorboat of the North Jiangsu Surface Patrol Unit, which was patrolling nearby, was nearby, and the observation post saw a signal flare in the distance.
"Squad leader, squad leader, someone is firing a flare at eight o'clock!" The observation post hurriedly shouted.
"It must be the devils of the dog day again! Steer and go full speed ahead! The squad leader also heard the shrill siren and shouted orders.
The rest of the motorboats patrolling nearby also rushed to the place where the siren sounded, and the motorboats split white waves on the water.
