In order to smash Higashi Shoutaro's siege conspiracy, Yang Ling and others killed a sniper rifle in a surprise attack and eliminated Major Higashi Shoutaro and the following 300 Japanese soldiers.
Three hundred elite troops were wiped out, and the news spread like the wind among the Japanese divisions on the eastern front, causing great shock.
Since the defeat of the Chinese army on the Shanghai battlefield, the Japanese troops have been divided into three groups and have been overwhelming. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops have been defeated and fled in panic. The so-called defense line has also been vulnerable to their attacks and quickly fell.
The Japanese divisions have become arrogant in the continuous victory, and they are arrogantly clamoring to capture Nanjing, the capital of China, within a week and incorporate the China region into the territory of the Japanese Empire.
However, at such a moment when victory was in sight, Yang Ling and the others actually used a defeated force to wipe out three hundred of their elite troops. Compared with the battle of hundreds of thousands in the Shanghai battlefield, although the scale of this battle was small enough to be ignored.
But now is a special period. The Chinese army has been completely defeated. The Japanese army is at its peak. Such a defeat occurred when each division was advancing at a high speed. It was immediately magnified infinitely like being placed under a microscope. Continuous victories have made it difficult for them.
Accepting even such a small-scale failure would undoubtedly be a slap in the face for these arrogant and arrogant people. This is a shame! You can’t lose face, you must take revenge!
Yang Ling would not have thought that they just killed a group of Japanese soldiers in order to survive, but it was like poking a hornet's nest. Facing the chasing troops swarming around them, their escape path suddenly became difficult.
The brigade-sized China Army appeared behind the Japanese offensive troops, seriously threatening the Japanese supply lines. In addition, in order to wash away the humiliation and revenge, all the Japanese divisions on the eastern front deployed troops to pursue and intercept Yang Ling and the others. For a time, the outer areas of Jiangyin were in turmoil.
The situation became strange.
"Damn, why are there so many Japs suddenly appearing in this area?" Lao Yanqiang smoked his cigarette fiercely, with a sad look on his face.
According to the order of the Jiangfang Group Headquarters, they were responsible for attacking the Japanese artillery position in Dingshan Sand Mountain. They made a large detour and were not far from the Japanese artillery position.
However, the sudden and frequent mobilization of the Japanese soldiers greatly affected their actions. They had to hide in a reed swamp and did not dare to act rashly, because once they were exposed, not only would the attack fail, but they might not be able to protect themselves.
"Company Commander, Platoon Leader Tian is back with his tongue." A soldier crawled through the reeds and walked up to Lao Yanqiang to report.
When the old smoker heard that Fatty Tian San was back, he immediately put away his smoker and strode over.
A man in black cotton-padded clothes was tied up like a rice dumpling, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his mouth was stuffed with rags. At this moment, he was looking at the old smoker who was walking by and struggling.
"Are you exposed?" Lao Yanqiang asked when he saw Fatty Tian San raising his neck and pouring cold water into his stomach.
Fatty Tian San put down the kettle, stretched out his sleeve to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth, smiled and shook his head: "Hey, company commander, don't worry about what I'm doing. I caught a lone traitor and didn't alert anyone else."
Lao Yanqiang nodded reassuringly. Although they were hidden in the reeds, they were behind enemy lines and had to be careful.
Lao Yanqiang squatted down in front of the tied traitor, pulled out the cold-glow bayonet from the scabbard at his waist and stabbed him in the thigh.
Woohoo——
Facing the bayonet pierced into his thigh, the traitor whined in pain, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"This stab is to remind you that if you dare to play any tricks next, it won't be stabbed in the thigh, but in your crotch——"
Although Lao Yanqiang spoke calmly, the traitor, who was sweating from the pain of his forehead, turned pale with fright. He did not expect to meet such a cruel person, so he nodded hurriedly.
Seeing the traitor nod, Lao Yanqiang reached out and took off the rag from his mouth.
"The first question is, why did that villager become a traitor?"
"I am from Liujiacun, boss, boss, please spare my life. I have no choice but to work for the emperor...the devils. I have an eighty-year-old mother..."
"ah--"
The old smoker's bloody bayonet poked a hole in the traitor's thigh, causing him to tremble in pain.
"If you continue to lie, I don't mind a few more holes in your body." Lao Yanqiang is a veteran in the army. When he tells lies, his face does not blush and his heart does not beat. This traitor is insignificant in front of him. The truth is false.
The words could be seen at a glance, so he gave a warning.
"I said, I said, two years ago they gave me money, five hundred oceans, and asked me to pay attention..."
Facing the vicious old smoker, the traitor did not dare to hide anything, and told him how he surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor.
The fat man gnashed his teeth when he heard the traitor's words. He stepped forward and kicked his feet, cursing: "I'll kick you to death, you bitch traitor!"
The old smoker stopped the fat man from continuing to kick him. After all, business was more important.
"Then what are you doing to help the Japanese now?"
"I will lead the way and catch those wounded soldiers..." The traitor looked at the old smoker in fear and spoke hesitantly.
"Any more?"
Seeing the traitor hesitate, Lao Yanqiang stabbed him again.
"Ah - yes, yes, help them find a woman..."
Although Lao Yanqiang had already expected it, he did not expect that this traitor would do so many evil things. He had a murderous intention in his heart: "It's so unconscionable!"
"Boss, boss, I told you, I didn't lie to you." Looking at Lao Smoking's murderous eyes, the traitor felt so frightened that he peed his pants in fear.
Lao Yanqiang continued to ask: "Do you know why the Japanese suddenly mobilized so frequently?"
Lao Yanqiang stared into the traitor's eyes, and the tip of his bayonet was dripping with blood, which made the traitor feel horrified.
"I heard that a group of national army troops attacked a Japanese army and killed more than 300 people, including a major. Now the Japanese are very angry and are chasing and intercepting them..."
After hearing what the traitor said, Lao Yanqiang finally figured out why the Japanese troops suddenly mobilized frequently and the security was tight. It turned out to be this. He couldn't help but secretly cheer for the rout.
Seeing that Lao Yanqiang didn't speak for a long time, the traitor asked fearfully: "Boss, I said everything."
"Do you know which unit that rout belongs to?"
The traitor shook his head, but when he saw Lao Yanqiang's aggressive gaze, he hurriedly added: "Although I don't know the unit number, I heard that the leader is a man named Yang Ling. I really don't know the rest."
"Yang Ling?" Lao Yanqiang was startled, inexplicably remembering his deputy company commander Yang Ling on the Songhu battlefield. Could it be the same person?
Then he shook his head helplessly. Although he couldn't see through Yang Ling at first and was a bit powerful, facing that tragic battlefield, he might have died long ago. This Yang Ling may not be the one he knew well.
"Boss, I've said everything, can you let me go?"
"Did I say let you go? Since you are a traitor, you must be prepared to die!"
Pfft! The bayonet pierced the traitor's chest fiercely, and when he pulled it out, a stream of bloody arrows came out. The traitor twitched and fell to the ground. The old smoker stood up, full of unwillingness.
"Fat man, the body has been disposed of. I'm going to find the group leader." Lao Yanqiang wiped the blood from his bayonet and walked towards the depths of the reed swamp.
