Chapter 854: Haggard
The guerrilla battalion commander Wang Huzi was marching towards Huaiyin with the battalion commander, the second company, the third company, and the machine gun company directly under the battalion.
After receiving the report from the signal corps, he learned that the enemy had been found at the front, and he did not dare to slack off, so he quickly stepped forward to reinforce the knife company.
When Wang Huzi arrived at the battlefield with the main force of the battalion, the ambush battle had ended, and the brothers of the Sharp Knife Company were cleaning the battlefield, and the corpses of the devils were lying all over the ground.
"Report to the battalion commander, we eliminated an infantry squad of devils!"
Seeing Wang Huzi's urgent reinforcements coming, the company commander Daozi hurriedly trotted to Wang Huzi, bumped his feet, and grinned to make a report.
With an infantry company of 160 people, a well-equipped devil squad was completely annihilated, and the battle damage was very small, which made the company commander's face shine, and his head couldn't help but raise a lot.
"Well played,"
Wang Huzi was also very satisfied, the repeated battles had greatly improved the military quality of the troops, and he naturally praised the veterans under his command when he saw that they could stand alone.
"Thank you battalion commander for cultivating!" The sharp knife that was praised smiled and smiled, and his heart blossomed, after all, this honor is not something that anyone can get.
"Okay, don't be poor, what's the matter with those people?"
Wang Huzi noticed the more than 100 ragged and dirty Liu Jinhu and others on the side of the highway.
The knife reined in his mind and pointed at Liu Jinhu and said: "They are the first guerrilla detachment, that big man is their detachment leader named Liu Jinhu, they were attacked by devils and puppet troops outside Huaiyin City last night, and they just broke out, and we eliminated the devils who pursued them......"
The knife made a long story short and reported the ins and outs of the matter, and the face of the battalion commander Wang Huzi also sank, and he completely lost the joy after winning the battle.
They were ordered to assemble in Huaiyin, and then attack Huaiyin, eliminate the devils and puppet armies in the Huaiyin area, and cooperate with the counteroffensive of the devils in various theaters across the country.
Before he arrived in Huaiyin City, he got such bad news, the friendly troops gathered in Huaiyin were actually attacked by devils, and seeing Liu Jinhu's embarrassed appearance, the situation is probably a little bad.
Wang Huzi was now eager to know what was going on under Huaiyin City, and immediately strode towards Liu Jinhu.
The two sides saluted each other and got acquainted with each other, and without caring about greetings, Wang Huzi asked directly about the situation in Huaiyin, after all, this is related to the next move.
"Captain Liu, how many devils and puppet troops are there who raided you, do you know?" Wang Huzi asked carefully.
Liu Jinhu and they were raided in a black way, where do they know how many devils there are, he shook his head helplessly, thinking of those brothers who broke through and sacrificed, and sorrow surged up.
"And what about the rest of the brothers, did they break through?" Wang Huzi shook his head when he saw Liu Jinhu, and then asked again.
"When we broke out, the rest of the guerrilla detachments were still in chaos, and we wanted to tear open the door to cover their retreat, but the devils opened fire on us, and we were worried that we would fall into a heavy siege again and had to retreat first, as for whether the rest of the brothers broke through, we don't know at present."
Hearing Liu Jinhu's story, Wang Huzi could also imagine what kind of chaotic scene it would be when more than a dozen unfamiliar detachments were attacked at night.
As one question after another was thrown, while listening to Liu Jinhu's story, Wang Huzi's heart also sank to the bottom, and those brothers who did not break through were estimated to be more auspicious.
After all, the devils and the puppet army came prepared, and they were surrounded by regiments, and in such a chaotic situation of losing their command, there was little hope of breaking through alive.
Thinking that before they arrived in Huaiyin, the main force of the Ninth Guerrilla Column was destroyed, and Wang Huzi was glad that they had escaped a step late, but he was more puzzled, why did he let the devils surround him.
What Wang Huzi didn't know was that the Devil's Pass Brigade had already planned this matter, and they retreated step by step, luring the main force of the guerrilla column to the unobstructed Huaiyin City, just to catch them all.
However, what the cunning and vicious Yamaguchi Captain Yamaguchi Akamatsu did not expect was that although the trap they laid wiped out the main force of the Ninth Guerrilla Column in one fell swoop, there were still fish that slipped through the net.
And this fish that slipped through the net is the third guerrilla detachment that delayed time because of the elimination of the devils in Qinghe Town, and the third guerrilla detachment, whose strength has increased rapidly, is destined to become a nightmare for the devils.
"Knives!"
After learning some important information from Liu Jinhu's mouth, Wang Huzi did not dare to continue to lead the team forward now.
"Yes!"
"Quickly discharge a reconnaissance platoon to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the direction of Huaiyin, and find out whether the brothers of the rest of the detachment have broken through."
"Yes!"
The knife answered and hurriedly arranged for people to go, and soon a platoon of brothers ran in the direction of Huaiyin.
"Second and third companies, the machine gun company quickly built a position on the spot!" Wang Huzi waved his hand, and the three company commanders also took active action.
And the people in the communication squad also quickly sent people to go in the opposite direction and report the situation to Yang Ling.
"Cooking class, get some food for Captain Liu." Seeing Liu Jinhu and their tired and hungry appearance, Wang Huzi gave an order to the cooking squad of the battalion commander after all the orders were stopped.
"Thank you, Camp Commander Wang."
Liu Jinhu and they are so embarrassed and embarrassed now, when they heard Wang Huzi's words when they were hungry, their hearts were full of gratitude.
"They are all brothers who fight devils, why bother to be so angry, you rest and eat first, and I will arrange the position."
After Wang Huzi and Liu Jinhu greeted each other, they climbed up the low hills next to the highway and instructed the brothers to dig trenches and fortifications on the spot, preparing to stop the devils.
Yang Ling: The means of communication are now backward, and the transmission of orders and messages is carried on foot by means of communication troops.
In the villages near Xiaowangzhuang and Zhangjiaji, they also established information trees and other ways to transmit information, but now that Qinghe Town has been recovered and Huaiyin is advancing, many of these things cannot keep up with the speed of expansion of the base area.
When Wang Huzi and the communication troops they sent rushed back to Qinghe Town, it was already noon, and Yang Ling was waiting for the deputy detachment leader to come from Xiaowangzhuang in Qinghe Town.
They captured hundreds of puppet soldiers and captured a lot of traitors and enemy agents in Qinghe Town, these people are huge security risks, once not properly handled, it will lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, Yang Ling did not dare to transfer all his troops to the direction of Huaiyin when the rear was unstable, but sent Wang Huzi to take the first step and stayed in Qinghe Town with a part of his troops.
The so-called is not panicked when there is a gun in his hand, and having Wu Changqing's second battalion and the guard unit directly under the detachment will be of great benefit to the restoration of order in Qinghe Town.
While the deputy detachment leader had not yet rushed to Qinghe Town from Xiaowangzhuang, Yang Ling had already begun to organize people to interrogate traitors and enemies, and held a public trial meeting to strive for an early elimination of the poisonous flow.
And in the captured puppet army, puppet police, and plainclothes teams, Yang Ling also began to screen the work, and all the most heinous crimes were executed after public trial.
Those who did not commit the most heinous crimes but aided in the torture were not killed, but were sent to the newly established labor camps for labor reform according to the specific circumstances.
As for those who joined the puppet army and the puppet police in order to make a living, Yang Ling gave them forgiveness, and they could become ordinary people again, or they could join the guerrillas again as soldiers and fight devils.
There are many officers in the Third Guerrilla Detachment who can fight battles, but very few of them handle these administrative affairs.
After all, their Third Guerrilla Detachment is also a combat unit, and they never thought of taking over government affairs at all, and now Yang Ling and they have to restore local order and management while fighting.
Due to the lack of management talents, Yang Ling had to do many things himself, feeling that there were too few talents under his hands and could not share them for himself.
But at this juncture, the bad news sent by Wang Huzi made Yang Ling even more haggard.
