The sun was blazing, and when the Chinese army and the Japanese were fighting fiercely on the front battlefield, they were shouting to kill Zhentian at the Xiaoqingshan camp in the Sulu war zone, and they were actively mobilizing their troops to prepare for war.
Since the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps retreated from Huaiyin to the mountains of southern Shandong, the troops suffered heavy losses and had to hibernate to recuperate.
Now that it has established a firm foothold in Xiaoqingshan, a mountainous area in southern Shandong, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps immediately began to expand its army and prepare for war, constantly encircling and suppressing bandits, rewarding farming, and finally slowly recovered.
While the main force was recuperating and training in the mountains, the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade under the corps frequently launched attacks, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Yang Ling, deputy captain Zhang Liechen and others inspected the training of the troops at the bustling training ground. They saw that the brothers were training with great enthusiasm and morale. Yang Ling was very satisfied with this.
"I see that the troops are well trained. It's time to go out and fight. Real elite soldiers are made through fighting."
Although the troops are well trained, Yang Ling values the actual combat ability more. Only when it has withstood the test of actual combat can the real training results be seen.
"Now that we have figured out the details of the Guizi Guchuan troops on the periphery, I think our brothers are all holding back. Why don't we attack?" Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen also agreed with actual combat training.
The brothers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade fought consecutively and successfully, but the regular troops had no chance to attack. They were so jealous that they had been screaming for a long time, eager to fight and teach the Japanese a lesson.
"Let's do this. The intelligence department will compile the information on the Japanese army in Tanichuan, and the staff office will formulate a feasible combat plan and pull the brothers out in time to see the blood. Now the battle in Yizhao is in full swing, and we can't just sit back and watch."
"Yes, it's time to teach the little devil a lesson, otherwise you'd think we wouldn't dare go out."
The original mission of Yang Ling and others when they went to the battlefield behind enemy lines was to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. They were responsible for containing the Japanese combat forces and cooperating with the frontal battlefield operations.
Now there is a big battle going on in the frontal battlefield. They have recovered their strength after this period of time. Although they are still far from their peak state, they still have the strength to fight in a battle.
Moreover, most of the people in the areas near them are newly formed puppet troops. The Japanese troops are not many, and these Japanese garrison troops are third-line troops with weak combat effectiveness. It is more than enough to deal with them.
"Report! Urgent message from the war zone commander's department!"
Just as Yang Ling and the others were discussing on the sidelines of the training ground and preparing to attack the Japanese and puppet troops, suddenly a communications staff officer rushed over from a distance.
"Oh? An urgent message from the war zone commander?"
Yang Ling and the others were also shocked when they heard that it was an urgent message from the commander of the war zone. Could it be that there was some serious enemy situation?
Yang Ling did not doubt that he was there, so he took the telegram and read it at a glance. After reading it, his expression became strange.
Because this message was an order sent to him by the theater headquarters, requiring him to hand over the command to deputy captain Zhang Liechen, and then lead the elite force of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade to report to the theater headquarters immediately.
"Sir, even if the theater commander wants to use the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade, just let Wei Qing lead the team. Why do you ask you to lead the team by name? It doesn't make sense." Zhang Liechen also took the message from Yang Ling's hand.
I looked at it, my face full of doubts.
After all, as the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, Yang Ling should not leave the command post.
"Since the theater commander has said it, there must be consideration from the theater commander." Yang Ling felt that there was no problem. After all, in the army, some things do not need explanation. Just follow the order.
Just like when he graduated from the Nanyue Guerrilla Training Course, he was directly transferred to the Sulu Theater to fight guerrillas.
Moreover, this time he also got some information in advance from the intelligence department, that is, it was very likely that he would be transferred back to the frontal battlefield.
"Order the Flame Special Warfare Group to rest and be on standby, ready to go at any time."
"Let all officers above the company level go to the conference room for a meeting."
The theater commander's department gave Yang Ling a deadline to report to the theater commander's department. Yang Ling did not dare to neglect, and immediately prepared to hold a meeting to explain some matters during his absence.
An hour later, officers from all departments of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and above the company level all arrived at the conference room of the General Command.
Yang Ling read out the order from the theater commander's headquarters at the meeting, which shocked all the officers.
"During my absence, Vice Captain Zhang will be in charge of the affairs of the corps. You must obey orders and obey orders. If anyone disobeys you, I will not deal with you until I come back."
These officers were all brought out by Yang Ling. They followed Yang Ling and Yang Ling also gave them a warning.
"yes!"
As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, a uniform voice sounded in the conference room, which made Yang Ling very satisfied.
"I still say what I said, you are Chinese people, you shoulder the responsibility of protecting your homeland and the country, don't slack off just because I'm not around. I hope you will train hard and fight the enemy bravely under the leadership of Deputy Captain Zhang.
, protect our country, and don’t let down the expectations of our countrymen!”
"At the same time, I also hope that you will always remember your identity and don't become a traitor despised by thousands of people and become a sinner of history just for a small profit..."
At the meeting, Yang Ling gave all the officers serious instructions. After all, he knew that if he went to the theater commander's headquarters to report this time, he didn't know whether he would be able to come back.
Because judging from the clues obtained by the intelligence department, it is very likely that he will be transferred back directly this time.
Although he had been in the Sulu War Zone for less than a year, he had fought bloody battles with the Japanese here for a year, and he had already formed a deep friendship with his brothers, and he also had feelings for this place.
But in such turbulent years, an inadvertent farewell may very well be a farewell forever.
After Yang Ling held a meeting with the officers at the company level and above, he called the officers at the battalion level and above together for a meeting, and finally handed over the work to the deputy captain Zhang Liechen alone.
"It is very likely that I will not be able to come back in a short time this time. From now on, the brothers will be left to you. Remember, no matter what, lead the brothers to fight well and lead them to survive."
Zhang Liechen was slightly startled when he heard Yang Ling's words. In addition, Yang Ling's words in the conference room also made him feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Sir, have you heard any bad news?" Zhang Liechen asked in confusion when he saw Yang Ling's serious expression.
"How about we send electricity to the War Zone Commander's Department, tell us that you can't leave for the time being, and ask Wei Qing to take someone there." Zhang Liechen added.
Yang Ling smiled and shook his head and said: "There is no bad news, but I don't know when I will come back. Our Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has a lot of things to do. I want to explain everything that needs to be explained to avoid mistakes."
The last time Yang Ling commanded the battle in Baoying, when the Japs attacked, the two deputy captains guarding Huaiyin had a disagreement, which led to the failure. Yang Ling did not want the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps to make the same mistake again.
So before leaving this time, I specifically explained everything to the deputy captain.
Yang Ling had partnered with Zhang Liechen when he first arrived in the Sulu war zone, so he knew him very well. Now after so many years of training, he believed that he could control the overall situation.
After Yang Ling finished explaining all the affairs of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, he left the camp in Xiaoqingshan with the 1st and 2nd Special Forces Squadrons of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade and rushed to the theater commander's headquarters to report.
