"After each platoon leader returned, he immediately conveyed Commander Yang's order to each brother, asking the brothers to pack their packages and be ready to move and retreat at any time."
Yang Ling was about to lead the officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps to prepare to avoid the enemy's edge and rely on the vast guerrilla zone to fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. After the meeting, each company commander returned to their respective companies one after another and began to convey orders.
"Company commander, why do you need to be transferred if you are so good?"
As soon as company commander Sun Liang passed on the order, the platoon commander under him started shouting.
"That's right, he's just a little devil. He's afraid of a ball. Last time, a large team came and we beat him to pieces."
The brothers were already gearing up for a big fight with the Japs, but now they were suddenly ordered to move and retreat, and they were all very reluctant.
"We just defeated Baoying, and we haven't even warmed up yet, so we handed it over to the little devil. Why?"
"That bastard proposed to retreat. I think he is afraid of fighting!"
"We are all smart men. If we can, we will fight with the Japanese. This inexplicable retreat is just a matter of confusion."
...
The Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has been going smoothly since its establishment. It first captured Huaiyin, then marched southward to attack Gaoyou and then Baoying.
Wherever they wanted to hit, they almost never missed, and Lien Zhan and Lianjie made the brothers feel a little arrogant, thinking that the little devils were just that.
Therefore, when the company commander Sun Liang conveyed the command from the commander-in-chief, let alone the ordinary brothers, the platoon commanders were the first to clamor to quit.
"Why, everyone's wings are stiff and they want to rebel?!"
Seeing these platoon leaders shouting and making nonsense, company commander Sun Liang's face darkened and he slapped the table, causing the table to shake.
Seeing that company commander Sun Liang got angry, the shouting platoon leaders all shut their mouths.
"Company Commander, it's not that we don't carry out the order, it's just that the good guy has to give up the Baoying that he finally captured to the Japanese. There's no way he can explain this to the brothers below." A veteran oil platoon leader said sarcastically.
"You bastard, don't give me a bad look. Why don't you explain it to the brothers below? Are you reluctant to let go of the girls in the city?" Company Commander Sun Liang said with a dark face.
Hearing Sun Liang say it in front of a large audience, the platoon leader who spoke laughed sarcastically: "How can it be possible? I'm not that person."
Company commander Sun Liang threatened fiercely: "Listen carefully, let me take care of that thing in your crotch. It has only been a long time since Baoying. Oh, you are just messing around. Don't think
I don’t know, if you can’t control that thing, I’ll chop it up for you.”
Hearing what Sun Liang said, the other platoon leaders also laughed unscrupulously; "Platoon leader, you'd better chop him up quickly. He's just a lover. If he could manage it, he wouldn't do it."
It’s a widow’s house.”
"You guys are laughing so much!" Sun Liang pointed at the other platoon leaders and warned: "You are the same, don't be so playful. Although Chief Yang encourages free love, it is a matchmaker marrying, but you are not messing around. If someone really
If you come to your home with a baby to recognize your father, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
"Yes!" Seeing company commander Sun Liang say seriously, several platoon leaders all agreed seriously.
"Take care of the brothers under you and don't do anything wrong. The people from the inspection team are keeping an eye on them. No one will save you then."
"Company commander, don't worry, brothers will just joke around and don't dare to do anything nonsense." The veteran platoon leader Youzi assured.
Company Commander Sun Liang also took the opportunity to beat them up, but he didn't believe that they were really messing around, because they all ate from the same pot and knew each other's character.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Our transfer this time is not as war-fearing as you think. It's not because we are afraid of the little Japs, but it is a tactical arrangement made by Chief Yang considering the overall situation."
After hearing company commander Sun Liang's explanation, the platoon leaders also stopped smiling and became serious.
"I know that brothers are all good men and are not afraid of bloody battles with the Japs. But the Japs came this time with great ferocity. There were five or six thousand Japs armed to the teeth. There were cannons on the ground and planes in the sky. They were stronger than before.
They are stronger every time. We are not afraid of fighting them, but we are afraid that our death will be worthless."
"Now Baoying has been bombed into ruins by the Japs. It is meaningless for us to guard these ruins and fight with the Japs. Let's simply give it to the Japs. Let's go to the countryside to avoid their sharp edges. This will not only avoid the loss of our strength, but also
There is a wide space to deal with the Japanese."
After hearing company commander Sun Liang's explanation, the platoon leaders gradually began to feel that giving up Baoying was not a big deal.
"When you go down, you must explain clearly to the brothers why we are called the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. Because we are a guerrilla force, and we usually practice how to fight guerrillas. We are not fighting against the little devils. This time we are moving and retreating to the countryside.
If we go on, we will use our strengths and avoid our weaknesses to give full play to our strengths."
"As long as we lead the little devils to the countryside, that is our territory. The time, place and people are favorable. As long as the little devils dare to divide their forces and attack, then we can let the devils come in vertically and leave horizontally."
"Aren't there a lot of little Japs? Let's kill a few of them a day and see how long the Japs can last."
Company commander Sun Liang explained in an easy-to-understand manner, and the platoon leaders quickly cleared up their doubts.
"Then let the little devil be arrogant for how many days?" A platoon leader laughed.
"Then let them dance for a few more days."
...
"Okay, go back and explain it clearly to the brothers. If anyone can't explain clearly, don't be the platoon leader."
"Don't worry, company commander, I promise to complete the mission!"
When the brothers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps were mobilizing their troops to move and retreat, the officers at the headquarters of the Sulu Theater also received a telegram from Yang Ling.
"What do you mean by heavy losses? I think we just don't want to fight the Japanese. Don't think that we don't know their little tricks. If you shed a little blood and kill a few people, it will be considered a heavy loss?"
"What a joke. If you are afraid of death, why fight? Just go home and hug the baby." Shen Liejun, deputy commander of the theater, sneered repeatedly.
The commander, Commander Yu Xuezhong, also thought deeply and said: "It is already raining heavily in that area, and the roads and bridges have been blown up. Even if the Japs reach Baoying, they will definitely be exhausted. They are just waiting for work in Baoying. As long as they
By dragging the Japanese in Baoying, our southern troops can attack Gaoyou again and cut off the Japanese's retreat. It will not be impossible to concentrate our efforts on encircling and annihilating this Japanese detachment."
"Order Yang Ling, the Jiangsu North Corps must defend Baoying without retreating even a step. As long as they hold the Japs in Baoying for a week, we can mobilize several times more troops to surround them, annihilate the Japs, and fight another beautiful battle!
"
Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, frowned and said, "Sir Yu, the Japs have a full detachment this time. Yang Ling and the others may not be able to stop them."
"Wen Sheng, don't forget, the Northern Jiangsu Corps single-handedly wiped out a whole brigade of Japanese soldiers at the head of the border. Now we just want them to hold back the Japanese soldiers. With their fighting power, I don't think it's a big problem."
"But..." Lieutenant General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, still felt something was wrong.
"Oh, don't worry. If we can wipe out all these Japs, it will be a great achievement."
