Chapter seven hundred and seventeen deep behind the enemy
Under the thick darkness of night, the troops trying to cross the blockade lay down in the grass to hide in silence. The sound of crickets in the distance was heard, which made people upset.
Not far in front of Yang Ling and the others was the Japanese defense area. Wooden stakes were driven deeply into the soil, and cold barbed wire was wrapped around them. Huge searchlight beams were swinging back and forth. The Japanese were heavily guarded.
This was originally Chinese land, but now it was occupied by these invaders. The arrogant Japanese patrols made every brother feel angry.
But they all understood that their mission this time was not to compete with these little devils here, but to penetrate behind enemy lines and deal with the little devils properly when the time came, so even if they were holding back the anger in their hearts, they could only endure it.
Shortly after nightfall, I heard a rolling thunderous roar behind me, a red light suddenly appeared on the dark horizon, and countless blazing shells passed over Yang Ling's heads and hit the Japanese soldiers' defense area.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The deafening explosion immediately shook the night sky. Yang Ling and the others only heard the first explosion, and then they heard nothing more. There was a roar in their ears.
The seemingly solid defense lines of the Japanese were suddenly lifted into the sky by such a sudden artillery attack. Many Japanese were also blown away. The bombed Japanese screamed and howled in chaos.
Not long after, the Japs defense zone opposite the defense zone fell into a sea of smoke and fire. The little Japs, covered in flames, were running around and screaming like slaughtering pigs.
"Come on!"
In the darkness not far away, shouts of death suddenly rang out from the sky. The sound was as dull and powerful as if it came from the ground.
Yang Ling, who was in charge of the cover, and about a regiment of troops who crossed the blockade launched an attack on the Japanese. In the flash of the explosion, countless brave officers and soldiers kept leaping forward and charging forward. Their fearless energy made the Japanese tremble.
The Japs were first bombed indiscriminately, and then encountered such a ferocious attack, the Japs commander also turned pale.
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"Hurry up and call the commander of the regiment. The Chinese Army has launched a large-scale attack..."
The Japanese were busy and chaotic, machine guns were firing, and scorching bullets left countless hot traces in the night sky. The two sides were fighting like thunderbolts.
"Quick, cross the blockade!"
Taking advantage of the lively fight between the covering troops and the Japs, the troops lying in hiding also took action, moving darkly towards the flanks of the Japs defense area.
Most of the Japanese troops were attracted by the attack of the covering troops. Less than a small team remained on the flank for defense. The brothers cut through the barbed wire fence and charged at the brothers in front with a row of gunshots. In the smoke of exploding grenades, they
He rushed over.
"Quick, quick, run."
In the darkness, the officers were urging in low voices, and everyone was running forward, messy footsteps and heavy breathing intertwined together.
Yang Ling and the others understood that once the Japs figured it out, they would mobilize troops to intercept them. At that time, it would not be that easy to pass through the blockade and penetrate deep into the enemy's rear.
The fighting in the distance became more and more intense, with the sound of gunfire and burning fire lighting up most of the sky red.
Under the light of the fire, the darkness was dispelled and everything became clear.
On the way Yang Ling and the others advanced, the Japanese soldiers in the trenches who had been beaten into bloody sieves were lying on the ground. There were also brothers who were shot and died in the front. They fell to the ground before they had time to cross the blockade and reach the enemy's rear.
Blockade line.
However, Yang Ling and the others only had time to take a quick glance. They didn't even have time to remember the faces of the brothers who fell on the blockade, so they hurried into the darkness ahead.
There were more than a dozen companies crossing the blockade this time, with nearly 2,000 people in total, and Yang Ling and the others were just one of them.
"Take care of yourself!"
"Fight to the end! The Chinese nation will win!"
…
After crossing the blockade, the dozen or so companies ordered to go behind enemy lines were like a flock of frightened birds. After saying goodbye to each other, they hurriedly dispersed into the darkness.
After all, such a force of nearly 2,000 people is a big target in the enemy's war zone. They must be broken into pieces and go to their own destinations.
The dark surroundings of people suddenly became empty. Behind them was the light of fighting, and Japanese reinforcements pulled by cars were rushing towards them.
Soon the gap they had to cross the blockade would be blocked by the Japanese again, and Yang Ling and the others would have no way out.
Yang Ling and the others turned around and saluted the covering troops who were still fighting the Japanese troops on the battlefield with a grateful military salute. Then they glanced at the dark place where they came from, and were filled with emotion. They had gone thousands of miles away, and they didn't know when they came back.
moon.
"Let's go..."
Yang Ling waved to the brothers, and the brothers put away their complicated thoughts and followed Yang Ling into the darkness.
Yang Ling and the others crossed the blockade without any danger and marched all night according to the signs on the map. However, they did not dare to take the main roads and avoided them. They walked through the fields and wastelands to avoid encountering the Japanese checkpoints and reduce unnecessary troubles.
.
At dawn, they arrived at a village at the foot of a hill, far away from the blockade. This was the village where they gathered after crossing the blockade, and the connectors had already prepared food and drinks for them here.
Fortunately, the brothers did not get separated in the dark night, so this village without people became their temporary resting place.
"Beard, send a squad of security posts in each direction, spread out five hundred meters, and change the guard every three hours."
"Yes!" Wang Beard turned and walked out the door.
After arriving at the village, the brothers who had been marching all night were exhausted, and Yang Ling did not dare to be careless. After all, it was already an enemy war zone, and he had to take responsibility for the more than two hundred brothers.
"Everyone take the time to rest. Let's continue walking in the evening."
The enemy war zone was full of spy agents and traitors, so Yang Ling and the others could only stay in hiding during the day and march at night.
The brothers were exhausted after running all night. After eating the meal prepared by the coordinator, they fell asleep. They passed the first day deep into the enemy's war zone without any danger.
In the evening, Yang Ling and the others packed up and continued marching along the planned route. They first arrived at the guerrilla area behind enemy lines of the Gui Army's 21st Group Army in the Dabie Mountains.
At this moment, in the entire Anhui Province, except for some plain areas along roads and railways, the vast mountainous areas are controlled by these Guangxi officers and soldiers from Guangxi.
Although it is behind enemy lines, a full army group is here to fight guerrillas, and the Japanese have nothing to do for a while. This section of the road is the safest if it passes through the territory of Guangxi officers and soldiers.
However, after Anhui entered Jiangsu Province, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Many villages had been turned into ruins. Japanese motorboats were galloping along the densely networked rivers, and the puppet soldiers who committed evil were also showing off their power.
Roadblocks were set up on various roads to check pedestrians coming and going.
Yang Ling and his two hundred brothers, who were unfamiliar with the place, naturally did not dare to go to Luka, so they had to take a detour and wander around Jiangsu Province for more than ten days before successfully arriving at the revolutionary base in the Sulu War Zone.
military controlled areas
At this moment, a full two months have passed since the departure. Yang Ling and the others were in a state of embarrassment after living in the open air.
