The appearance of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces in the northern Jiangsu area not only made Yang Ling feel heavy pressure, but also aroused the competitive spirit in his bones that he would be stronger when encountering the strong.
Whether it was to avenge his good brother Wang Huzi who died in the battle, or to defend the land of the motherland at his feet, Yang Ling had no reason to let go of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces.
The Skeleton Special Forces had already been eliminated once by the Chinese Army during the Great Wall War two years ago. Now that they have been rebuilt, Yang Ling doesn't mind destroying them again no matter whether they become stronger or not.
Yang Ling's sharp eyes looked at the rising dawn in the south, murderous intent emerging from the corner of his mouth.
Although the Skeleton Special Forces ran away from Huaiyin, the monk who managed to escape could not escape from the temple. As long as the Skeleton Special Forces remained on Chinese soil, sooner or later he would have to twist off their heads with his own hands to pay homage to the fallen brothers.
"Command the communications platoon leader Li Changqing. I don't care what tricks he uses. He must contact Shangfeng within today. At the same time, he will send a warning telegram to Yancheng, Baoying, Gaoyou and other friendly forces. An elite Japanese team has gone south. Let them be careful.
.”
Yang Ling is now unclear about the size and combat mission of this skeleton special team. The car they were in ran away and they can no longer catch up, so they did not order a pursuit.
Another important reason why Yang Ling didn't order anyone to pursue them was that he didn't know the strength of this skeleton special team, but he expected it wouldn't be too weak.
And now, although the number of guerrilla troops under his command has reached more than a thousand, it is still difficult to deal with the Japanese regular troops, let alone the special forces whose strength is unknown.
Knowing that the enemy is strong and his own strength is weak but he still rashly goes into a head-on confrontation is destined to suffer losses. Therefore, he can only warn his friendly forces and at the same time focus on improving the combat effectiveness of his troops.
The next time you encounter the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces, you will have enough strength to kill all this powerful opponent and avenge your sacrificed brothers!
Now the size and combat effectiveness of Yang Ling's Lieyan Special Forces Team are too weak. The appearance of the Japanese Skeleton Team makes him eager to improve the combat effectiveness of this unit under his command.
After the fighting in Huaiyin City ended, Yang Ling quickly held a military meeting of company and above officers of the Third Guerrilla Detachment.
Since the Japanese 21st Division and 15th Division swept through northern Jiangsu and captured Huaiyin at the beginning of the year, Huaiyin has been falling to the enemy.
But now that the guerrillas have regained Huaiyin, it has greatly inspired the confidence and determination of the troops behind enemy lines to resist the war, and also cleared away the gloom hanging over the heads of the local people.
More than 20 officers at company level or above filled the temporary conference room. Although their faces still bore traces of smoke, they all had smiles on their faces and could not suppress their happiness.
After all, a county town was recovered in their hands, which made them feel like they were in a dream. After all, a few months ago they were driven into hiding by the Japanese and were in constant fear.
Liu Jinhu, leader of the First Guerrilla Major Detachment, also attended the military meeting. After all, more than a hundred officers and soldiers of his detachment also participated in the military operation to regain Huaiyin.
According to the subordinates of the Chongqing Military Commission, one-third of the troops of the Chinese *** Corps are trained, one-third of the troops are in the front, and one-third of the troops are in guerrilla formations behind enemy lines, which are rotated every six months.
Yang Ling was an officer who parachuted from the regular army to fight guerrillas behind enemy lines. Although he was both the leader of the guerrilla detachment, he had many advantages over Liu Jinhu in terms of rank and origin.
After seeing the powerful officers and soldiers under Yang Ling's command during the battle, and comparing them with the lax discipline of his subordinates, Liu Jinhu felt even less confident, so he simply followed Yang Ling's command.
"Brothers, you fought very well this time. The recovery of Huaiyin was a major victory for our army. It greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese and puppet troops. A lot of supplies and ammunition were seized. More importantly, the troops were
The Japanese have shown our determination to fight to the end!"
As soon as Yang Ling finished speaking, there was a roar of applause in the simple conference room. The brothers not only applauded for the victory, but also applauded themselves.
"Although we won, many brothers also sacrificed their lives, but they sacrificed their lives for the country. They died with honor!" Yang Ling's voice was resonant, which made the brothers feel proud in their hearts.
Yang Ling paused and continued: "I want all brothers to remember that as soldiers, it is our glory to be shrouded in horse leather. For the sake of the fathers and fellow countrymen behind us, and in order to drive the little devils out of China as soon as possible, I hope that the brothers will continue to carry forward their bravery and tenacity.
, the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, continue to fight against the little devil!"
"I would rather die in battle than be a slave to the country's subjugation!"
The brothers sat upright with their upper bodies upright, and the low roars from their throats shook the dust on the beams.
"Although we have recovered Huaiyin City, there are still many villages and towns in Huaiyin County that are under the control of the puppet army and traitors. Our next goal is to go to the countryside and completely eradicate the influence of the Japanese and puppet army!"
Although the Japanese and puppet troops had weak control over the vast rural areas, they also supported a group of traitors, and Yang Ling pointed his sword at these traitors.
"I still say the same thing. Since they chose to surrender to the enemy and treason and become traitors, then we don't need to care about the feelings of our compatriots. We don't need pity and sympathy. I only have one word, kill!"
The enemy situation in the occupied areas is now complex. In order to ensure that long-term public security and stability can be maintained after the liberation of Huaiyin, Yang Ling is prepared to use heavy weapons in troubled times and use iron and blood to quickly eliminate the local Japanese and puppet forces.
Because he knew very well that the Japs' revenge would come soon, and he didn't want these hidden Japanese traitors to stab him in the back when he was fighting against the Japs.
I ordered: "Except for leaving two companies responsible for public security in Huaiyin City, the rest of the troops, in company and platoon units, will quickly go to the countryside to wipe out the remaining Japanese and puppet forces."
"Zheng Gang——"
"Yes!" Zheng Gang, deputy commander of the second battalion, stood up.
"You contact the self-defense forces, militia groups and various anti-Japanese armed forces in each village and ask their leaders to go to Huaiyin within two days to discuss the anti-Japanese plan."
"yes!"
"Sir, what if they don't come?" Zheng Gang asked one more question before sitting down.
"Anyone who is willing to come, I, Yang Ling, will give them twenty-five rifles as a gift."
Behind enemy lines throughout the occupied areas, in addition to many regular troops and guerrilla troops, many villages and towns also spontaneously established many self-defense armed forces, and Huaiyin was no exception.
However, these forces are too scattered and weak, and can easily be eliminated by the Japanese and bribed by the traitors, turning them into puppet forces controlled by the Japanese and puppets.
Huaiyin belongs to the first guerrilla zone under the Sulu War Zone. Now that the ninth guerrilla column has been destroyed under the city of Huaiyin, only his third detachment is left in the nearby area.
But the third detachment is too weak after all to control such a vast area, so now it must integrate the resistance forces in this area and twist them into a rope to enhance its strength.
"Staff Lei, you must recruit new recruits quickly, but you must also pay attention to screening to prevent enemy agents from mixing in." Yang Ling waited for Zheng Gang to sit down, and then ordered Staff Lei Xiong.
"The Japs have a very powerful elite force that has arrived in our northern Jiangsu area. When you go to the countryside to fight against the remaining strength of the Japanese and puppets, once you find a Japs troop wearing a skull and crossbones logo, be sure not to act without authorization and report it to me immediately to avoid danger.
Encountered danger." Yang Ling finally reminded the guerrilla troops who were preparing to go to the countryside.
At the end of the meeting, Yang Ling announced another thing, that is, from now on, the Lieyan Special Forces Team will be expanded to 100 people. The members will be selected from the officers and soldiers who have performed outstandingly during the encirclement and suppression battle in the countryside.
The emergence of the Japanese Skeleton Special Forces forced Yang Ling to expand his elite forces because he was aware of the danger and pressure.
This time, Huaiyin was recovered and a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies were seized from the Japanese. This was also a material basis for Yang Ling to form an elite special force.
They were short of ammunition before. To maintain the training of such an elite force, he couldn't afford the consumption of ammunition alone, let alone other equipment.
After all, after half a year of fighting behind enemy lines, when Yang Ling wanted to improve the combat effectiveness of the local guerrilla forces, he also wanted to train a strong special forces. When he returned to the front battlefield to make achievements, if he could kill several high-level Japanese headquarters, that would be considered a complete achievement.
