The first thousand three hundred and nineteenth chapter transfer order
Lunan, Sulu Theater Commander Headquarters.
The remote village is heavily guarded. Countless combat orders are transmitted from here to the various units via radio waves. The staff officers look in a hurry, and the commander's headquarters is a busy scene.
The 1st and 2nd Special Operations Squadrons of the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade led by Yang Ling climbed over the mountains and crossed the enemy-occupied areas. It took several days to arrive here.
The theater headquarters is surrounded by arsenals, clothing factories, and various agencies affiliated with the theater. Although it is difficult for the Japanese to penetrate deep into the mountains, the security is still tight.
As soon as Yang Ling and the others arrived at the outskirts, sentries emerged from the dense jungle and began to interrogate and question them.
Although Yang Ling and the others showed their identities, the peripheral security forces did not allow them to enter the core area where the Sulu Theater Commander's headquarters was located. Instead, they waited where they were.
After the peripheral security forces reported, Yang Ling and the others were able to continue moving forward. Along the way, there were still many overt and hidden sentries and mobile sentries emerging from the jungle ravines to ask for their passwords.
Fortunately, the peripheral security forces sent liaison officers to lead the way, and Yang Ling and the others arrived at the headquarters of the Sulu Theater Commander smoothly.
Under the arrangement of the commander's headquarters, the brothers of the Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade settled in a village with only a few dozen households, while Yang Ling went to see the commander in person, Commander Yu Xuezhong.
But when we arrived at the commander's headquarters, we learned that Commander Yu Xuezhong, the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater, was currently commanding the battle against the Japanese and puppet troops in the 57th Army in Shandong. The person who received Yang Ling was Lieutenant General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department.
"Yang Ling, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, was ordered to report!"
Yang Ling and Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department of the Sulu Theater Area, are old acquaintances. General Zhou Fu even attended the commendation parade they held in Jieshou.
"It was a smooth journey, right?"
After General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, returned the greeting, he smiled and extended his hand to shake Yang Ling's hand.
"Reporting to sir, everything went well!" Yang Ling replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
"Have you eaten yet?"
General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, asked with concern as he walked.
"I had already eaten when I came here."
"How is the morale of the troops now?"
...
Facing the inquiry of General Zhou Fu, Director of the Political Department, Yang Ling answered truthfully, which made Zhou Fu, Director of the Political Department, very satisfied.
"The situation between us and the enemy is now serious. The Japanese and puppet troops have intensified their blockade and attacks on our various units. You, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, were able to gain a foothold in Xiaoqingshan and send troops to defeat the Japanese and puppet troops. You should be the first to contribute."
"It's all brothers who dare to fight well and don't dare to take credit for their humble position." Yang Ling said modestly.
Faced with Yang Ling's modesty, the director of the Political Department, General Zhou Fu, just smiled and took Yang Ling into his office.
The office of General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, is a low adobe house in a farmyard. The light inside the house is dim and the furnishings are simple.
"Sit down and talk."
General Zhou Fu sat down behind the wooden table and invited Yang Ling to sit down too.
Yang Ling didn't refuse, he pulled up a long bench and sat down.
"Do you know why you are asked to bring the Flame Special Warfare Brigade to the theater headquarters this time?"
Seeing Yang Ling sitting there with his body upright, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, nodded with satisfaction before speaking.
Although Yang Ling heard some rumors, he was not sure, so he shook his head and said: "I don't know about my humble position, so please let me know, sir."
General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, sighed and said: "Now the Zaoyi battle has reached a critical stage. After the first phase of the offensive, the little devils did not withdraw to the original garrison, but launched a fierce attack in the direction of Yichang.
attack."
"Our main forces were caught off guard and suffered a big loss. Especially the two armies under the 22nd Army faced the Japanese attack and suffered heavy losses. They lost Xiangyang and Yicheng one after another..."
Yang Ling knew all these things mentioned by General Zhou Fu, Director of the Political Department, from the exchange of telegrams.
And he also knew something that Zhou Fu didn't know, that is, in this battle, Yichang, which was guarded by the 18th Army of the Chinese Army, might not be able to defend it.
"This time during the defensive battle of the 22nd Group Army, a powerful force appeared in the Japanese battle sequence. Among them were many snipers, which caused great casualties to our defending officers and machine gunners.
The Fifth War Zone heard that your Flame Special Warfare Group is doing well, so they want to second you to assist them in their operations."
Soon, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, explained the reason why Yang Ling and others were asked to report to the theater commander's headquarters.
"Why didn't the fifth theater organize any brothers with excellent shooting skills to fight back?"
Compared to deploying the Flame Special Warfare Brigade from the Sulu War Zone all the way, it is more convenient to set up a sniper unit on the spot in the Fifth War Zone to fight back. This is also what Yang Ling is confused about.
"The fifth theater indeed deployed a group of sharpshooters to counterattack the Japanese army, but the effect was not good, because this Japanese army not only has many snipers, but is also very powerful in breaking attacks and infiltrating, with many battalion-level
, the regiment-level headquarters asked them to attack."
"You have made a name for yourself in Lunan, so Chief Li asked you by name to assist in the battle and completely annihilate these little devils." General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, explained with a wry smile.
Rather than letting Yang Ling and his elite special operations force go fight in the fifth theater, the director of the Political Department, General Zhou Fu, preferred that they stay in the Sulu Theater.
After all, everyone wants troops that can win the war. What he is most worried about is that Yang Ling and the others will never come back this time.
But in the face of the personal telegram from the commander of the Fifth War Zone, they in the Sulu War Zone could not let go, nor could they just watch the friendly troops being bullied by the little Japs.
After much deliberation, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, and others met and decided to let Yang Ling lead the team there in person.
After all, Yang Ling is the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps. Even if the Fifth War Zone wants to keep people by force, Yang Ling will definitely come back unless they are given a better position.
"How about it? Are you willing to lead a team to the fifth theater? If not, I will send a telegram to the fifth theater and tell you that you have a combat mission and cannot leave."
When Yang Ling heard what Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, said, he smiled bitterly in his heart. If such an excuse was valid, he might not be called to the theater headquarters.
Now the Sulu War Zone is alone behind enemy lines and has to rely on support from other war zones. Therefore, if we refuse such a small request from the Fifth War Zone now, we may not be able to deal with it in the future.
"In all your humble positions, obey the orders of your superiors!"
Yang Ling knew that he would not be able to fly this time, so he had no excuses.
After all, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has regained its footing, a group of officers capable of fighting have been trained, and Lieyan's third, fourth, and fifth squadrons are still in the Sulu theater.
Even if he leads the team to leave now, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps can still face the Japanese independently. What's more, he also believes in the ability of deputy captain Zhang Liechen and will definitely lead the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps to grow stronger.
"Sir, after I leave, the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps..."
"For the time being, let deputy captain Zhang Liechen take over your command of the battle. When you come back, you will continue to be the captain." General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, said with a smile.
