Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters share the enemy
"Deputy Captain Zhang."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Yang Ling first turned his attention to Zhang Liechen.
"Here we go!" Zhang Liechen quickly calmed down and stood up.
"This time I will personally lead the main force of the guerrillas to fight against the Japs' attack. During my absence, you will be fully responsible for all matters in the rear."
Zhang Liechen had just been depressed because Yang Ling rejected his suggestion to move and retreat. Now that he heard that Yang Ling asked him to take full responsibility for all affairs in the rear area, he was stunned for a moment, but soon became excited.
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!" Zhang Liechen agreed excitedly.
Since Yang Ling arrived at the Third Guerrilla Detachment, all the power has been in his hands. Zhang Liechen, the deputy detachment leader, has been sidelined and has become a dispensable role. Now that he is in charge of power again, how can he not be excited?
"The militia troops in each village are under your command. We must maintain stability in the rear and prevent traitors and enemy agents from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
"At the same time, let the villagers in each village be prepared to evacuate and move at any time. Once the enemy cannot be stopped in the front, the villagers must be able to move to a safe location immediately."
Zhang Liechen originally thought this was an easy job, but after hearing Yang Ling's instructions, he immediately felt heavy pressure on his shoulders.
Yang Ling didn't care what Zhang Liechen was thinking at the moment, and told him everything he wanted to say.
"Each village must organize young people to set up stretcher teams, and the women's committee must also take active actions to boil water and cook for the officers and soldiers fighting at the front, and be responsible for taking care of the wounded..."
After hearing each order, Zhang Liechen's smiling face soon turned into a bitter look. Damn it, he became a coolie again.
"Vice Captain Zhang?" After Yang Ling finished speaking, he saw Zhang Liechen had a grimace on his face and didn't respond. Yang Ling knocked on the table and called him.
Only then did Zhang Liechen react and said with a grimace: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission."
Yang Ling nodded, motioned for Zhang Liechen to sit down, and then turned to look at Wang Huzi and Wu Changqing.
"I now officially announce the reorganization of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 3rd Guerrilla Detachment. You two will be the battalion commanders respectively. Each battalion will be based on a company of veterans, and will be equipped with three companies of new recruits. We will go to Director Sun to collect weapons and ammunition.
."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this new appointment, both Wang Huzi and Wu Changqing looked excited and hurriedly stood up to accept the order.
During the training, the recruit companies specially selected some veterans to serve as instructors. These instructors were transferred to the platoon leaders of each recruit company on the spot, so it was just an extra number, and the combat effectiveness would not be affected because the officers and soldiers were unfamiliar with them.
.
Yang Ling ordered Sun Zhong, the director of the Munitions Department: "Director Sun, the ammunition will be distributed to each unit later."
Under Yang Ling's arrangements, all officers soon received their respective tasks.
"Brothers, although the Japs are coming fiercely this time, if we want to repel the Japs' invasion and defend our guerrilla zone, as long as everyone performs their duties and works together, victory will definitely belong to us!"
"We must win!" the officers all shouted in unison, with high morale.
Yang Ling's late-night emergency meeting ended quickly. The officers walked out of the detachment headquarters without stopping, and disappeared into the night one after another.
After dawn, the recruit company that was training in Yangjiawan also went to Xiaowangzhuang overnight and was ordered to form the first and second battalions of the guerrillas together with the original two veteran companies.
Sun Chong, the director of the Munitions Department, also distributed the ammunition stored in the warehouse, five bullets to each recruit and fifteen to each veteran. All the captured Japanese melon grenades were provided to the veterans.
After all, the melon grenades of the Japanese soldiers are more powerful, and the grenades made by the Chinese Communist Party are much inferior in comparison, but fortunately they are large in quantity and cheap to produce.
After being organized, each infantry battalion has four companies with more than 600 troops. The brothers are equipped with 79 rifles and captured 38 rifles, and they also carry grenades and grenades with them.
Each company has at least one light machine gun as its main output firepower, and its heavy firepower has also been strengthened. The brought back civilian 24th heavy machine gun was equipped with the 1st Battalion, and the 81 mortar was equipped with the 2nd Battalion.
Although their strength is still much lower than that of the Japs, their firepower is comparable to that of ordinary no-name troops. This is where Yang Ling's confidence lies.
"Team, we also ask to join the war!"
Seeing the troops gathering and distributing ammunition, special operations captain Wei Qing also asked to join the battle.
After Yang Ling and his colleagues selected the whole guerrilla force, Wei Qing and other eleven people were selected by Yang Ling as members of the Lieyan special forces team. Before they even started training, the Japanese came to visit them.
"That's fine, you can go with my guard platoon." Yang Ling agreed to the request of the Lieyan Special Forces Team.
Although the battlefield is extremely dangerous, only in the blood rain on the battlefield can the true iron-blooded elite be tempered, Yang Ling firmly believed in this.
"yes!"
A fierce murderous intention appeared on Wei Qing's cold face. Since Yang Ling agreed to their participation in the war, then their Flame Special Forces team must fight a good battle to show everyone that they are not useless people with high military pay.
Guerrilla officers and soldiers gathered in a large scale, and the air was filled with tension.
The villagers in Xiaowangzhuang also heard the news and were panicked for a while. Fortunately, Zhang Liechen posted a notice to calm the people in time, thus averting panic.
"The little devils want to steal our food again. Our guerrillas will fight resolutely to crush their plot!"
The propaganda team under the guerrillas also became active, posting banners and slogans everywhere, and holding iron horns and delivering speeches at village entrances, grain drying fields and other places where crowds gathered.
"Our brave and capable guerrilla troops are gathering! They will fight bravely and destroy all invading enemies!"
"Fight Japanese imperialism! Swear to death to not be a slave to the country's subjugation!"
"All devils are paper tigers!"
…
Under the propaganda and encouragement of the propaganda team, the panicked people soon became united in their hatred of the enemy and shouted slogans to cheer for the guerrilla troops who were about to go on an expedition.
"Everyone has a responsibility to fight the Japanese. The officers and soldiers went to the front line and fought bloody battles to defend our hometown. We can't just sit back and die in the back. We must also actively support the front line." The propaganda team worked hard to carry out Yang Ling's order to mobilize the people.
"Yes, we have to do something." The villagers who shared the same hatred reacted and spoke one after another.
"We can organize a stretcher team to go to the front line to carry the wounded, and women can help boil water for cooking..."
With the publicity from the propaganda team, each village quickly set up a stretcher team, cut bamboos to build stretchers, and some even took down the doors of their own houses.
The women also gathered together, and the guerrilla medical soldiers taught them how to treat wounds and how to treat the wounded. Everyone listened attentively.
"We can help dig trenches!" More villagers carried hoes and shovels to help dig trenches and fortifications.
More than a dozen villages under the control of the guerrillas took action. In the cold weather, they walked out of their homes one after another to protect their homes.
Seeing the villagers spontaneously gathering to take on the task, Zhang Liechen, the deputy detachment leader who stayed behind, was also caught off guard. He did not expect that the people had such great enthusiasm and motivation to defend their homes.
"It seems that we have weakened the determination of the villagers to defend their homeland. Chief Yang had the foresight."
Zhang Liechen and Lei Xiong were also ashamed. At first they wanted to abandon these villagers and move alone.
