The first thousand one hundred and eighteen chapters killed
The Jiangsu North Corps has completely captured Baoying. Except for a small number of search troops who are still performing tasks, most of the troops have regrouped and are seizing the time to eat and rest.
The brothers have been having a hard time these past two days. First they went south to Gaoyou with great fanfare to confuse the Japanese, and then they turned north at night.
Although the distance from Gaoyou to Baoying is not far and can be reached overnight by truck, the Northern Jiangsu Corps did not have a truck and had to march on foot.
Now that Baoying was captured, Yang Ling did not let the troops go south immediately to fight. Instead, he prepared to let the troops rest for a few hours, otherwise the troops would really be exhausted.
"While the brothers are seizing the time to rest, order the cooking squads to immediately prepare dry food and distribute it to the troops."
"yes!"
Yang Ling knew that the next step was probably going to be a tough battle. They had captured Baoying, and with the traitorous character of Jaizi, they would definitely launch a crazy revenge.
The Northern Jiangsu Corps must crush the Japanese's revenge in order to preserve the fruits of victory this time. Otherwise, it will be all in vain.
"Sir, we have captured Baoying. Do you want to report the victory to the theater headquarters?" Deputy Captain Yuan Guangtao was also very happy.
It has only been less than a month since he arrived at the Northern Jiangsu Corps, and now the Northern Jiangsu Corps has fought such a beautiful battle, which is a great honor for him.
"Well, send the report to the theater headquarters, saying that our unit has recovered Baoying, annihilated more than 300 Japanese soldiers, and captured 300 puppet soldiers..."
Yang Ling knew that he would definitely make the theater headquarters dissatisfied if he killed him first and then reported it later, but he would never be dissatisfied with his orders. But now that he had won the battle, he should be able to silence some people in the theater headquarters.
Now that they have captured Baoying, it is a severe blow to the newly established Nanjing puppet government.
Yang Ling could imagine that the high-ranking officials of the puppet government in Nanjing were probably furious now.
However, Yang Ling wants to use such practical actions to fight back against the capitulationists and traitors, telling them that politicians like them can betray their country for glory regardless of the dignity of the nation, but soldiers cannot. Soldiers always shoulder the responsibility of protecting their country!
"Bang bang bang..." Just as Yang Ling and the others were patrolling the streets, suddenly a series of neat gunshots came from the yard in front.
Hearing these gunshots, Yang Ling and the others all raised their heads and looked ahead, where the shattered Japanese headquarters was located, which had been destroyed by the war.
"It's the voice coming from the Japanese headquarters." Du Jiang, the staff officer, said.
"Let's go and have a look." Yang Ling took the lead and walked over.
The Japs' Baoying Command Headquarters has been riddled with holes, and the battered Japs are being carried out of the ruins of the yard by the brothers who are cleaning up the battlefield.
"Sir..."
Seeing Yang Ling coming with a group of officers, the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who had captured this place saluted one after another. Their eyes were red and red from the flames of war.
"Why was there a shooting here just now? Where is your battalion commander?" Yang Ling asked as he walked.
"Sir, our battalion commander is inside." The squad leader of a machine gun squad said, pointing to the messy yard.
Yang Ling led the officers and filed in in the direction of the machine gun squad leader's finger, stepped on the rubble and blood on the ground, walked through the corridor, and walked inside.
This is the place where the Japanese made their last stand. Broken guns and grenade explosions are scattered here, and there are many corpses of Japanese soldiers who were beaten into holes. It is obvious that a fierce battle took place here.
When the brothers saw Yang Ling and others coming in, the brothers who were collecting the corpses all turned sideways to make way.
"Bang bang bang..." When Yang Ling and the others walked to the door, there was another gunshot in the backyard.
Yang Ling and the others looked at each other and walked towards the backyard at a faster pace.
"Surrender or not!"
In the messy backyard, Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing was holding a ragged wounded Japanese soldier with red eyes and roaring loudly.
"Surrender! You can avoid death." The translator was translating next to him in broken Japanese.
In this courtyard, the brothers captured nearly twenty wounded Japanese soldiers, and less than ten were still alive at the moment.
Facing the questioning of Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing, the wounded Japanese soldier who was grabbed by the collar still had a fierce look on his face, staring at Wu Changqing while screaming and struggling.
"He refused to surrender." The brother who translated quickly shook his head and said.
"Dead!"
Seeing the wounded Japanese soldiers who had been captured but were still unruly, Wu Changqing, the commander of the second battalion, gave the order angrily.
The two guerrilla brothers carried the wounded Japanese soldier to the side, loaded the gun with a loud click, and prepared to shoot him. Under the wall, more than ten wounded Japanese soldiers had been shot.
"Captain Wu, what are you doing? How can you kill prisoners!"
Seeing Wu Changqing ordering the wounded Japanese soldiers to be shot, Fourth Battalion Commander Xie Zhengxiang, who followed Yang Ling and others in, started shouting, his face full of disbelief.
Xie Zhengxiang was transferred from the theater headquarters. Facing this bloody scene, he was really shocked.
The other officers who followed Yang Ling also looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Wu Changqing would actually kill the Japanese and wounded soldiers here in public.
"I killed the Japanese who refused to surrender! I didn't kill the prisoners!" Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing suddenly stood up and stared at Xie Zhengxiang who was speaking with a murderous look on his face, his face full of sternness.
Xie Zhengxiang was stared at by Wu Changqing as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and his scalp suddenly went numb.
"Battalion Commander Wu, we can all see clearly. I think you have gone crazy. How could you kill the prisoners?" Xie Zhengxiang continued bravely.
"Old Wu, what's going on?" Yang Ling just walked into the yard and frowned when he looked at the wounded Japanese soldiers who were killed.
"Sir, if these Japanese wounded soldiers do not surrender, they are not considered prisoners. I order them to be shot." Wu Changqing said with red eyes.
"Is that so?" Yang Ling turned his eyes to the translator next to him.
"Yes, these wounded Japanese soldiers refused to surrender. They, they even pulled a grenade and killed our Deputy Battalion Commander Liu." The translator pointed angrily at the corpse covered with a rag on the steps next to him.
.
Hearing that Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jinhu was killed by a wounded Japanese soldier, Yang Ling walked to the next step with a sullen face and lifted the rag covering it.
The blood-stained body of Liu Jinhu, deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion, came into view. Although his face had been wiped clean, the shattered military uniforms all over his body showed everything that he was killed by a bomb.
"We were the first batch to rush in and eliminate the resisting Japanese soldiers. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu ordered us to carry the captured Japanese wounded soldiers to the medical station, but the Japanese wounded soldiers hid grenades. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu and several brothers
I didn't pay attention, and the Japanese hugged me and blew me up..." A brother next to him looked at Yang Ling and the officers who were silent, and explained with sobs.
Yang Ling looked at the scarred face of Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Jinhu, covered it with a cloth again, slowly took off his helmet, and gave Liu Jinhu a farewell military salute.
"From now on, no one in the Subei Corps will be spared alive when they see the Japanese!" Yang Ling turned his head and ordered with murderous intent.
"yes!"
Fourth Battalion Commander Xie Zhengxiang wanted to say something, but when he saw the corpse lying there, his lips finally moved and he still didn't say anything.
