The first thousand one hundred and sixty-eight chapters reward
The rain has stopped for a day, but the entire Baoying City is still shrouded in cold air. A large number of Japanese soldiers have been deployed to the countryside to chase and intercept the guerrillas. The entire Baoying City seems a little deserted.
Apart from the occasional patrols walking along the streets, there were only wild dogs looking for food on the streets of the city. The people closed their doors and hid in their homes, waiting for the war to end.
The Japs' headquarters was located in the county capital, and the entire street was under martial law. Japs' machine guns were mounted on barricades made of sandbags.
The fighting has moved to the countryside, and the city has been cleared by plainclothes teams and Japanese soldiers. Now that the city is safe, the Japanese soldiers have also become a little lax.
Although these Japanese soldiers are still guarding their posts, their expressions are no longer as serious as they were in the past few days. They gather around each other in small groups to smoke, laugh, and enjoy the rare leisure time.
The Japanese plan was very successful. They used the people in the countryside as threats and forced the hidden guerrilla troops to fight them.
Several guerrilla units were fooled. For the safety of the people, they took the initiative to fight against the Japanese in an attempt to rescue the people who were controlled by the Japanese.
But they didn't know that this was a conspiracy of the Japs. Instead of rescuing the people controlled by the Japs, they were now being chased and intercepted by the Japs, and the situation was precarious.
In order to completely eliminate the guerrilla forces resisting in this area and prevent them from escaping again, the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi also took a ruthless step and transferred almost all mobile troops to try to wipe out the guerrillas.
.
Although the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has won several battles under the command of Yang Ling, the area under its control is also constantly expanding.
But compared with the Japs, they were still far behind in terms of combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment. Now faced with the Japs' heavy siege, the gap between the two sides immediately became apparent.
Although the guerrilla brothers displayed a tenacious and brave fighting spirit, as time went by, the troops suffered more and more casualties, and they were blocked by the Japanese outflanking troops and fell into a bitter battle.
Now the guerrillas are in a tough fight in the countryside facing a large number of Japanese and puppet troops jointly encircling and suppressing them. Therefore, although Baoying's defenders are small in number, they are very relaxed. Seeing that the guerrillas are about to be wiped out by the frontline troops, they simply
There is no threat to them anymore.
"The Chinese army has been surrounded by us. It is only a matter of time before we destroy them."
Not only the Japanese troops who stayed behind in Baoying felt relaxed, but the staff officers of the Watanabe detachment also looked relaxed.
From Gaoyou to now, they have been devastated by various attacks by the guerrillas.
Although he relied on strong troops to capture Baoying, the guerrillas were hiding in the countryside to engage in guerrilla warfare and control rural areas. It was still difficult for them to occupy an isolated city.
It is precisely for this reason that the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi decided to completely eliminate the guerrillas in rural areas and achieve the purpose of actual occupation.
But the guerrillas were as slippery as loaches, using the local people's cover and familiarity with the terrain to play hide-and-seek with them.
In the early encirclement and suppression operations, their encirclement and suppression troops were exhausted, but they achieved little.
Fortunately, they finally used a strategy to fish out the guerrillas, which gave them hope of victory.
"The Chinese people are very cunning and familiar with the local terrain. Although we have trapped them in a small area, we still cannot be careless."
Now that the exposed guerrillas were finally blocked, the Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi did not want to let the tiger go back to the mountains, so he still did not dare to relax.
After all, with the experience and lessons learned this time, it will not work if we try to use the same method to force out the guerrillas next time.
"Order all encirclement and suppression troops to control intersections and bridges everywhere, not to give the Chinese any chance to break out, to advance steadily in a centripetal manner, to compress the activity area of the Chinese guerrillas, and not to allow any fish to slip through the net.
"
As the saying goes, wildfires will never burn out, but spring breezes will blow them again. The devils also know how to eradicate the weeds, and this time they are going to kill them all.
"This time we will definitely be able to wipe out all the Chinese guerrillas, and we will never let anyone go." The Japanese staff officer said with a relaxed smile on his face.
"As long as the Chinese guerrillas are eliminated, the local Chinese people will be severely shocked and let them know the consequences of going against the Imperial Japanese Army. This will also be of great benefit to the subsequent public security." A senior Japanese officer said.
Echoed.
The Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi looked at the staff officers chatting and laughing easily, picked up a telegram from the table and said: "My detachment has captured Jieshou and Baoying. The headquarters has sent a commendation telegram. Please continue your efforts."
, don’t live up to the high expectations of the base camp.”
"Hiyi!"
When the Japanese soldiers heard that the headquarters actually sent a telegram of commendation, they were all excited. After all, as soldiers, they were full of pride to be commended by their superiors. This was their honor.
Japanese detachment leader Watanabe Juichi continued: "China and Nanjing also sent a telegram, asking us not to let go of Yang Ling, the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps this time. They offered a reward of 50,000 oceans for Yang Ling's head, and told all the troops,
We must pay close attention to the movements of China Commander Yang Ling, and we must not let him escape. Whoever catches Yang Ling will get the reward."
Hearing this, the Japanese staff officers and officers in the room looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Nanjing was so persistent in Yang Ling that they would even offer a reward.
But they soon became excited. For them, 50,000 yuan was still a considerable amount of wealth. If they could get it, it would be an unexpected surprise.
When the Wang Puppet Government in Nanjing was established, it sent a large number of lobbyists to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places to recruit the Chinese Communist Party, so that they would break away from Chongqing and join Nanjing.
Unfortunately, the Wang Puppet Government in Nanjing made a wrong calculation. The lobbyist they sent to the Northern Jiangsu Corps was beheaded directly by Yang Ling's order. It can be said that it was a severe slap in the face of the Nanjing Puppet Government.
It is precisely because of this that many senior officials of the Nanjing puppet government clamored that they would not kill Yang Ling until they were killed.
But they still don't have the ability to shake Yang Ling. After all, the troops under Yang Ling's command are not vegetarians. Fortunately, the Japs took action for them. They also took the opportunity to offer a reward, hoping to get rid of Yang Ling with the help of the Japs.
Seeing the Chinese people fighting among themselves, the Japanese were naturally happy to see the results. Not only could they consume the resistance of the squadron, but they could also get rewards, so why not do it.
Yang Ling, who was leading the troops on the emergency march to Xiangbao, didn't know that his head was already worth fifty thousand oceans. Now he was not only a thorn in the flesh of the little devils, but also someone the Nanjing puppet government wanted to deal with quickly.
