Chapter nine hundred and seventieth hateful traitor
After the Japanese troops captured Gaoyou, they uncharacteristically stopped their pursuit and stayed in the city to rest. Not only did Yang Ling not feel relaxed at all, but he felt inexplicable pressure.
If the Japanese continue to attack northward after capturing Gaoyou, they can use troops to block the water and cover up the soil, delay the Japanese through various means, and eliminate the Japanese's effective strength.
But now that the Japs are not moving, Yang Ling can't figure out the Japs' intentions, giving him a feeling that he has nowhere to use his power. Those combat teams stranded on the road preparing to attack the Japs' troops have no place to use, and can only be used in
Suffering in the cold wilderness.
"This may be a smoke bomb released by the Japanese to confuse us. Brothers in hiding along the way must be vigilant to prevent Japanese surprise attacks."
"The Intelligence Department will send more manpower to Gaoyou. We must find out the Japanese's intentions."
On the ever-changing battlefield, any negligence may lead to heavy losses to the troops and irreparable losses. Yang Ling did not dare to relax at all.
"The training of all troops must be carried out as quickly as possible, and the people must be evacuated to the Huaiyin area as soon as possible."
"Report the situation in Gaoyou to the theater headquarters, and also report our combat plan."
.......
Under Yang Ling's order, the staff officers of the temporary headquarters of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps located in Jieshou took action one after another, and the entire headquarters was busy.
While Yang Ling and others were busy preparing for the war, the traitors and spies among the people retreating north were also not idle. They already knew that the Japanese had sent troops towards Jieshou.
But now the main force of the Northern Jiangsu Corps and the local armed forces are stationed in Jieshou. There are many soldiers and generals. The officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Corps are busy digging trenches and building fortifications everywhere.
In order to cooperate with the external forces inside and outside to seize the leader and open up the communication channel between Gaoyou and Baoying, these traitors and spies also took active actions, preparing to overthrow the command organization of the Northern Jiangsu Corps and cause chaos in the leader.
There were a large number of people evacuating north from Gaoyou, because the area from Gaoyou to Jieshou and Xinghua was Yangling's planned battlefield. There were many rivers and dense water networks here, making it an ideal battlefield. Therefore, the walls were cleared early and the people were allowed to evacuate north.
Because there are a large number of troops stationed in Jieshou, many people who have retreated north are unwilling to continue going north and are ready to wait and see for a while.
If the Japanese retreated, they could continue to go home. If the Japanese attacked, it would not be too late to retreat northward.
It is precisely because most people have this idea, coupled with the instigation of many traitors who are now hiding among the people, that more people stay here, so that the area around Jieshou is overcrowded.
Not only was the town of Jieshou crowded with anxious people all day long, but also the surrounding woods, reed marshes and both sides of the road were crowded with people. Countless fires were lit in the fields, and smoke filled the air.
Fortunately, most of the Japanese combat aircraft are currently contained by the frontal battlefield. Otherwise, once the Japanese aircraft come over, there will be heavy casualties.
Yang Ling naturally didn't dare to take such chances. Who knew when the Japanese plane would arrive.
So he sent many people to evacuate and lobby, and organized the people to continue to evacuate north. However, due to the instigation of the traitors, the effect was not good.
"How is the progress of locating the traitors and spies hidden among the people?" Yang Ling now knew the crux of the matter and called intelligence staff Liu Sheng over for questioning.
"There are too many people gathered at Jieshou, and they are all densely packed. Although our intelligence personnel are working hard, they have only found two of their footholds so far. Their personnel have already eliminated more than thirty people, and there are also
There are a lot of them that are deeply hidden, so in order to avoid alerting others, we didn’t dare to take any action.”
"Your intelligence department must uncover the traitors and spies hiding among the people within two days. It's freezing cold, and with so many people gathered here, something will happen sooner or later."
Yang Ling now deeply hates these traitors. They are determined to surrender to the enemy and betray the country. Because they pretend to be just like ordinary people, they are more difficult to deal with.
"Sir, don't worry, we will go all out. If I catch them, I will have to skin them off!" Intelligence staff officer Liu Sheng was also very worried and unhappy.
Although Jieshou Town has now strengthened its security and patrols, and the chaotic order has been alleviated to a certain extent, the people looked at them as if they were enemies, which made him hate the traitors who were causing trouble behind his back.
"Report!"
Just as Yang Ling was urging intelligence staff Liu Sheng and others to quickly identify and arrest the traitors and spies hiding among the people, the guard company commander Huzi hurried in.
"What's going on?" Seeing Huzi's hurried look, Yang Ling frowned.
Huzi stepped forward and replied: "A large group of people are shouting and coming towards our headquarters. The brothers on the patrol team can't stop them. Sir, do you think you should avoid them first?"
"Damn it, it must be these traitors who instigated it!" Liu Sheng cursed immediately when he heard this.
Yang Ling also frowned: "Do you know why they gathered?"
"They shouted that they wanted to go home, wanted food, and wanted clothes..."
Liu Sheng ordered Hu Zi: "Why are you looking for us if you want food or drink? If you have the ability, go find the little devils. Send someone to bring two more companies into the town and disperse them!"
When Huzi heard this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yang Ling: "This will only intensify the conflict. I'll go out and take a look."
Yang Ling also didn't expect that these traitors were so powerful that they actually instigated people to attack their headquarters, so he wanted to go out and see what they were capable of!
Seeing Yang Ling walking out, several staff members hurriedly came up to intercept him. Lei Xiong said: "Sir, it's too dangerous. I'd better go."
"It doesn't matter. We are all Chinese people. We are their soldiers. How can they still eat me? Let's go and have a look."
The crowd couldn't stop Yang Ling, so they had no choice but to crowd Yang Ling out of the headquarters. The crowd of people, who were pressing down from both ends of the street, had already arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, integrated the guard company, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol team faced off.
"We want to go home! We want to go home, we don't want to be refugees!"
"We want food, we want food!"
...
The common people crowded the entire street and shouted with passion, making all the guerrilla officers and soldiers feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Yang Ling stepped out of the headquarters and saw the moving heads and shouts in front of him. He also looked solemn. It seemed that those traitors must be eradicated completely, otherwise there will never be peace.
"Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me." Yang Ling took the tin trumpet from a brother, stood on the steps and shouted to the excited crowd.
"Don't listen to what you say, let you officials come out! Let your captain Yang Ling come out and speak!" someone in the crowd shouted.
"I am Yang Ling, the captain of North Jiangsu. If you have any demands, you can tell me!" Yang Ling raised his voice.
Seeing that this man in an old military uniform with an unshaven beard turned out to be the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Corps, the people crowded in the front row were a little unbelievable. This was so different from the image of the commander in their minds.
"Don't lie to us. How can a commander wearing such rags as you let your commander come out and speak?" someone shouted again.
When Yang Ling saw that some people didn't believe it, he smiled bitterly, pointed at the officers around him and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them if I am the captain of the North Jiangsu Corps——"
