Because there are so many armed people from these regions, there are not so many places in the surrounding areas of Huaiyin, and Yangling does not have that much food to give them.
So Yang Ling gave them firearms, and after fulfilling his promise, most of them went directly back to their original areas for training. The people responsible for the training were sent by Yang Ling.
Yang Ling held a meeting with these anti-Japanese armed forces, and finally everyone agreed to jointly establish the Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese Federation, with the strongest Yang Ling as the president.
The reason why Yang Ling took the lead in establishing the Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese General Association was to break the state in which the anti-Japanese armed forces in various villages and towns in Northern Jiangsu fought independently and integrate them into the guerrilla command system.
Because some of these anti-Japanese armed forces were under the command of the Jiangsu Provincial Government, and some were formed spontaneously, this type accounted for the majority. There were also small groups of regular troops that were broken up and guerrillas affiliated with the Military Commission.
They have their own territory in various places. Because of their weak numbers and strength, they have always been in a defensive posture.
Once the Japs attack them, they will not be able to resist them, and since the surrounding troops do not belong to each other, they will basically not go to rescue them.
Because no one is willing to take risks to save unrelated people. They all live guarding one-third of their own land. If other anti-Japanese armed forces cross the border, there may be an internal fight between the two sides.
.
Yang Ling summoned the leaders of these armed forces to Huaiyin on the pretext of sending guns, and then took the lead in establishing the Northern Jiangsu Anti-Japanese Association. He also hoped that there would no longer be internal strife, but to unite and cooperate with the outside world.
Fortunately, the leaders of the anti-Japanese armed forces also realized that their guns were no match for the Japs, and they were tired of the internal friction between them, so they all agreed to Yang Ling's proposal.
In principle, the various armed forces under the General Assembly are still stationed in the same area, but they need to exchange information with each other. When fighting, they no longer fight alone, but gather together to fight together according to the target of the battle. The spoils are also divided according to the number of troops sent.
point.
Yang Ling, the head of the federation, not only gave these anti-Japanese fighters eliminated weapons to enhance their strength, but also sent people to help them train soldiers.
Because many of these anti-Japanese armed forces are spontaneous and have not received military training, their military literacy is not high and they cannot even defeat the puppet army.
Yang Ling, on the other hand, selected a group of instructors to help them train soldiers, while also secretly spreading patriotic ideas and instilling the concept of country supremacy.
Yang Ling believes that as long as the troops have been trained by their instructors, as time goes by, they will slowly fall under their guerrilla system. This is like boiling a frog in warm water.
Most of these anti-Japanese armed forces returned to their original places, and Yang Ling sent officers for training. Some of the stronger ones were left in Huaiyin for training by Yang Ling as reserve troops for the guerrillas, ready to be replenished at any time.
into their ranks.
Although the treatment of these anti-Japanese armed forces staying in Huaiyin is not as good as that of Yang Ling's regular guerrilla officers and soldiers, it is not much worse. Not only do they receive military pay, but they also get to eat meat every now and then.
So even if their leader was unwilling, none of his subordinates were willing to go back. They had no choice but to borrow Poxia Donkey to stay in Huaiyin.
The officers sent by Yang Ling for training stayed with the people in the reserve team all day long, eating and sleeping together. While they won the favor of ordinary officers and soldiers, they also alienated their original commander in disguise.
Although their original commander also understood this truth, now they can no longer take the troops back. Not to mention the officers and soldiers under them who are happy to be in military affairs. There is a regular guerrilla camp stationed next door to them.
The officers and soldiers of this guerrilla battalion followed Yang Ling all the way from Xiaowangzhuang. From the initial cold-blooded attack on the little devil to the final frontal battle, they participated in almost the entire process.
Although the strength of these guerrilla battalions with rich combat experience cannot defeat the small Japanese of the same size, they are still confident of victory against ordinary troops.
Although Yang Ling's appearance is a little ugly, in general, he has gathered a large force that can be added to the guerrilla camps at any time.
The armed forces in various regions who stayed in Huaiyin had more or less fought against puppet troops or small groups of Japanese soldiers. Although they lost more than they won, they still had combat experience.
Therefore, the training for them is more about military discipline and combat coordination, rather than training from scratch like new recruits.
Yang Ling, currently the highest military officer in the Huaiyin region, was born in the field army, so he naturally has a profound background. He personally visited these troops, which naturally made these ordinary officers and soldiers feel happy and felt that the commander still cared about them.
And Yang Ling has been fighting for so long now, and he is well aware of the psychology of his brothers.
So when he arrived at the training camps of the anti-Japanese armed forces stationed in nearby villages, he behaved in an amiable manner.
Not only were they very polite to their commander, but they also greeted the ordinary officers and soldiers, sitting down and chatting with them.
Seeing that Chief Yang was so approachable, he quickly won the support of a large number of ordinary officers and soldiers. After all, there were not many officers who could get along well with ordinary officers and soldiers like this.
Especially when Yang Ling told these brothers about his experience of bloody battles with the Japanese in the Shanghai battlefield and Nanjing battlefield, these officers and soldiers were even more respectful to Yang Ling.
After all, they are all soldiers, and the blood of soldiers is hot in their bones, and the ones they admire most are the heroes who stand up to heaven and earth, because soldiers worship heroes more than others.
Yang Ling's narration of these experiences made these officers and soldiers even more excited. At the same time, they also recognized Yang Ling more and felt that they were on the same side.
Unlike generals like Yang Ling who emerged from the bloody battlefield of Corpse Mountain, their original commanders were all patriotic country squires, many of whom had never fought in a war. Compared with these two, they were naturally inferior.
Of course, Yang Ling did not mean to show off. He told his brothers about his experiences in the bloody battles in Shanghai and Nanjing. He also wanted to tell them that the ferocity and cruelty of the little Japanese would awaken their sense of resistance.
"Brothers, the little devils are extremely vicious. Even though they are talking about building a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and coexistence and common prosperity in the occupied areas, they are killing our compatriots wantonly in many places. Sometimes
There are no humans or animals left in the entire village, so we must resist to the end and cannot be slaves to the subjugation of the country!"
"Did you know that on the Great Wall, the little devils established a human circle? Do you know what a human circle is?" Yang Ling explained angrily: "They burned down the villages and drove all the people to live in the earthen ponds they built.
, just like animals, they cannot go in or out, and they cannot go from house to house. Once they leave Tuxedo, they will be shot immediately!"
When the brothers heard Yang Ling's story, their faces were filled with anger and their fists clenched loudly. They could imagine what it was like, almost treating people like animals.
