The ammunition that Yang Ling received finally allowed the guerrilla battalion to initially form combat effectiveness. However, the only drawback was that although it was a battalion-level force, it lacked heavy firepower and only had three Czech-style light machine guns.
Fortunately, Yang Ling brought back more than twenty boxes of grenades. If they were to fight on the battlefield, it would be enough for the little devil to drink a pot.
The more than 300 veterans organized into the guerrilla camp are skirmishers who have retired from the battlefield and have rich combat experience, so Yang Ling favors them in the allocation of ammunition. Each veteran can be allocated at least fifteen rounds of ammunition and ammunition.
A grenade.
As for those students who have no combat experience, those who have guns are given five rounds of ammunition, and those who do not have guns are given one grenade. Now that ammunition is tight, this is a last resort.
The students were full of enthusiasm for defending their homeland and country, and had no objections to Yang Ling's assignment. For them, being able to join the army and fight the enemy was already very satisfying.
These students were full of enthusiasm and had no battlefield experience. Yang Ling knew that if they were recklessly dragged into the battlefield, their mortality rate would definitely be high. Since he was their commander, he had to be responsible for their lives.
"Wang Huzi, Qin Shou, you two will lead people to teach those students one-on-one, let them learn how to shoot, how to hide on the battlefield..."
Yang Ling took advantage of the break and asked these veterans to teach the students their battlefield experience. As for how much these students can learn, it depends on their own luck.
Wang Huzi and the others had fought with the students, and now they were going to teach these students. They felt a little conflicted in their hearts, so they didn't agree easily.
Yang Ling had to have a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Huzi and the others, clarifying the righteousness and the students' determination to serve the country. In any case, they finally got through their work.
"Battal Commander, don't worry, I will tell them everything I know!" After Yang Ling's enlightenment, Wang Huzi and the others also patted their chests and made a promise to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling patted Wang Huzi on the shoulder and said, "That's right. From now on, we will all be brothers fighting side by side in the trenches. We must unite as one to fight the Japanese better."
"Yes!" Wang Huzi saluted Yang Ling, then ran to greet the brothers and prepare to teach the students.
After Yang Ling got through Wang Huzi's work, his speech to the students was much simpler: "I will let the veterans teach you battlefield experience later. If you want to survive on the battlefield, just learn from me! I will wait for you
We will check them one by one, and if anyone doesn’t learn well, he will be sent to where he came from immediately!”
With Yang Ling as the commander's rigid requirement, the students naturally became interested, knowing that it was related to their lives and whether they could stay to fight the Japanese, so they were very motivated to study.
As soon as Yang Ling finished giving instructions, Liu Ming, the staff officer who had finished his work, came over to find Yang Ling.
Liu Ming and Yang Ling are old acquaintances. During the Battle of Shanghai, Yang Ling was the company commander under Liu Ming. Moreover, Yang Ling also saved Liu Ming's life in Suzhou. Now he can be promoted to colonel and staff officer, among which Yang Ling has also made many achievements.
Powerful.
"Sir Liu!" Yang Ling trotted up to Liu Ming and stood at attention and saluted.
Although Liu Ming was still in uniform, he was no longer as serious as he was at work. He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Stop calling me "sir". We are called brothers who share life and death. If we don't
If you mind, call me Brother Liu, I will be very happy."
Although the two of them once fought side by side, their status is now very different. Yang Ling did not dare to overstep: "Well, let's call him sir."
"But you still hate me for taking your credit?" Liu Ming could clearly feel the distance between the two of them, so he raised his head and asked Yang Ling.
Yang Ling shook his head repeatedly. He really didn't care much about these achievements. All he cared about was that he wanted to kill more Japanese and do his part for this troubled nation.
"If you don't hold grudges, then just call me Brother Liu."
Seeing how stubborn Liu Ming was, Yang Ling no longer persisted: "Then it's better to obey orders than to be respectful. I'll call you Brother Liu in private, but I'll call you sir on weekdays."
When Liu Ming saw Yang Ling compromising, a smile appeared on his face: "It's up to you."
Liu Ming has always felt guilty about Yang Ling. Yang Ling saved his life and fought bloody battles all the way to Jiangyin, killing countless enemies on the way. However, commander Liu Xing later thought that Yang Ling had been killed. In order to establish a hero and boost the morale of the army, he ordered Liu Ming to kill Yang Ling.
All credit goes to him.
Later, Yang Ling returned to Jiangyin alive, but the matter of merit had been finalized and there was no possibility of changing it. This made Liu Ming feel very sorry for Yang Ling.
"Let's take a walk." After Liu Ming finished speaking, he walked towards a gentle slope in front of the shelter with his hands behind his back, and Yang Ling hurriedly followed.
"The fact that you killed the Japs general is still being verified at the peak. You also know that the Japs have a tight blockade... Don't be anxious. What is yours is yours after all, and no one can take it away." Liu Ming
As they walked, they talked, worried that Yang Ling and the others would be dissatisfied because of the delay in approving the credit.
"When we were in Jiangyin, Chief Liu Xing had already commended us, and the brothers who died in the battle were all given pensions. We are not in a hurry."
Liu Ming nodded: "It's good if you can think like this. Now the Japanese invaders are ferocious and the country is in difficulty. You must also be considerate of the country's difficulties."
Thinking of the fact that the Japanese are pressing closer and closer, the people are displaced, the country is no longer like a country, and the home is no longer like a home, the two of them were speechless.
The night was gradually getting dark. Liu Ming sighed and walked up the gentle slope. Looking at the rumbling cannons in the east, he continued: "I will return to the city tonight. Are there any difficulties in your guerrilla camp? If so, feel free to ask.
Said, I will send someone to deal with it before I go back."
"There are no difficulties in our guerrilla camp, but we are not very optimistic about the current war. I hope Brother Liu can help give a few words to Deputy Commander Liu Xing."
"Oh?" Liu Ming turned around and asked, "What do you want me to say?"
Yang Ling paused and said: "As far as I know, the Five Route Army of the Japanese Army with more than 200,000 elite troops will attack our Nanjing, and our Nanjing only has a dozen or so newly defeated divisions to guard it. Although Commander Tang wants to swear that people are in the city,
, the city is destroyed and people are dead, but the defeat is doomed. The Japanese are ferocious and threaten to massacre the city. I hope Commander Liu can persuade Commander Tang to relax the ban on crossing the river, so that the hundreds of thousands of people stranded in the city can cross the river to evacuate first, avoiding the
Tragedy happened.”
"Brother Yang, why didn't I know that a dozen newly defeated divisions could not stop the Japanese? But Nanjing is our capital. If we give up without fighting, how can we explain to the 40,000 people in the country? We will do this in the future
It’s better not to say anything that shakes the morale of the army. If you let others listen, you will get into trouble."
"We and other soldiers should fight to the death with blood to repay the country, but Brother Liu must advise Chief Liu Xing and others to let the innocent people evacuate first to avoid being massacred. Please."
"Brother Liu, you also know that on the way back from Shanghai, the Japanese did not leave humans or animals behind. If we cannot hold Nanjing, these hundreds of thousands of unarmed people will really..." Yang Ling said
He was moved, and Liu Ming was also deeply touched.
"Brother Yang, I will report this matter to Commander Liu Xing as soon as I get back." Liu Ming said helplessly: "It's just that I don't know whether they will listen to my advice or not. You also know that I am a man of few words now."
..."
"Let's do our best to obey fate." Yang Ling knew their identities and wanted the garrison commander's headquarters to change their minds. It was a bit far-fetched, but he had to make an effort.
