Nine hundred and seventieth eight chapters recruiting people
"Organizing people to go to the pier to see the corpses of the Japs must break the people's fear of the Japs..."
Yang Ling is not worried about the Japs invading along the north road now. After all, it is just a squadron, with two experienced commanders, Blacksmith and Shen Biao, in charge. Even if they cannot be completely wiped out, the Japs will definitely be unable to move forward.
And now what Yang Ling needs to do is to recruit enough people from the people who have evacuated to the north to set up the battlefield. The Japanese have suffered such a big loss, and with their unyielding character, they will definitely launch crazy revenge actions.
The reason why the Japs are not taking action now is either because they have insufficient intelligence or the logistics supplies are not in place. Once they are ready, the Japs will definitely attack crazily.
Therefore, Yang Ling and the others must take the initiative before the Japs launch a fierce attack on northern Jiangsu, prepare a battlefield in advance, and stick the Japs on the preset battlefield to fight, and their chances of winning will be much greater.
Once the Japs are allowed to break through their blocking line and invade Huaiyin, the good business situation will be completely lost. If they lose Huaiyin, they will also lose their foothold.
If we can't gain a firm foothold in the occupied areas, let alone fight desperately against the Japs, I'm afraid food and housing will be a problem by then.
Therefore, if they want to protect Huaiyin, they must build a solid defense line in the water network zone with a radius of dozens of kilometers between Baoying and Gaoyou to block the Japanese.
In Yang Ling's plan, the size of their northern Jiangsu regiment will rapidly expand to at least six battalions in a short period of time, although six battalions seems like a lot.
However, on the ever-changing battlefield, this small amount of troops was simply not enough to keep the Japs in their teeth. Yang Ling had already obtained intelligence through the latent agents of the military command. In the past two days, the Japs had been gathering from the south to Gaoyou, and the number of troops had reached four brigades.
Once the Japs from these four brigades swooped northward, their small force would not be able to compete with the Japs, so they are now constantly asking for help from the theater headquarters.
At the same time, they also had to use their subjective initiative to manipulate the terrain and build enough fortifications on the ground with a radius of dozens of miles. Manpower became a problem, so Yang Ling targeted the people who were retreating north.
The people were skeptical about the news of Yang Ling's victory in annihilating more than 200 Japs in one night, so allowing them to go to the battlefield to observe and dispose of the Japs' corpses made them believe what they saw, and the guerrillas really won the battle.
Now the Northern Jiangsu Corps is all serving the war, the organization is streamlined, and the operation is very efficient. Only half an hour after Yang Ling's order was laid out, their military propaganda team has already arrived at the gathering points of the people everywhere.
"Chief Yang has an order. We don't have enough manpower right now. We need some people to go to the dock to help clean up the battlefield and burn the corpses of the Japanese. If you are willing to go, we will give you an extra bowl of porridge at noon!"
The brothers of the military propaganda team began to run and shout everywhere. When the people who were originally doubtful about the victory heard the news, they all stood up one after another. After all, they could get an extra bowl of porridge if they went.
"I'm going!"
"I am coming too!"
All the strong men raised their hands one after another, and many of the people also wanted to join in the fun and see if they really killed so many Japanese as they said.
"If you want to go, come here to sign up!"
Soon, the first batch of more than a thousand people who went to help clean up the battlefield gathered and headed towards the dock under the leadership of the guerrilla officers and soldiers.
In fact, Yang Ling didn't really ask them to clean the battlefield, he just wanted them to see with their own eyes that the Japs were not scary, and to break their fear of the Japs.
The corpses of the Japanese had actually been gathered up from everywhere by the guerrilla officers and soldiers, and piled up like a hill. The gurgling blood made the ground slippery and sticky.
"Ah, what a devil."
"Why so many."
When the people saw the mountains of corpses of the little Japs, their mouths opened in shock.
In particular, many little devils were bombed to a bloody pulp, and some had their heads and skulls ripped off, and they were still staring with eyes open. Their ferocious appearance was really scary.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, these are dead little devils! In groups of ten, help pull off the little devil's clothes, and some more people will come over to help carry ammunition..."
The company commander "Bald Man" had already received the order. Seeing that the people were shocked, he hurriedly called them over to help and let them feel the corpse of the Japanese for real.
It was freezing cold, and many of the dead little devils were frozen and stiff. It was not an easy task to pull off the little devils' cotton-padded clothes.
Moreover, facing the ferocious faces of the Japanese and those horrific wounds, many of the people smelling the smell of blood could not help but vomit in their hearts.
"The little devils are human beings too. They come to rob our food and destroy our wives, children and sisters. Do you see clearly? This is the fate of the little devils!"
"We are all Chinese gentlemen, and we are all tough men. As long as we all pick up guns, the little devil has nothing to fear. If you shoot him, there will be a hole in his body and he will die!"
"The little devil is like that wild dog. The more you are afraid of him, the more arrogant he will be. If you are not afraid, he should be afraid of you!"
...
The brothers of the military propaganda team took advantage of the people's help in cleaning the battlefield and worked hard to carry out patriotic education to eliminate the people's fear of the Japanese.
The people who previously did not believe that the guerrillas could fight the Japanese now believe it when they see it. They believe it completely. Those brothers standing around who are covered in gunpowder smoke are the real men. In this atmosphere, they
, my heart is also boiling with excitement, the little devil is just like that.
After the first batch of people arrived at the pier to receive their porridge, more people flocked to the pier. After all, people are curious. When they saw the piles of captured and stripped corpses of Japanese soldiers, they were shocked.
It's difficult to attach.
But the people at the back had no porridge to receive. They could only visit the corpses of the Japanese and receive patriotic education from the brothers in the military propaganda team.
"We guerrillas will continue to fight against the Japs until they are driven out of China!"
"Now that the Japs have occupied Gaoyou, they will soon attack Jieshou, Baoying, and Xinghua. But we here will never allow the Japs to be arrogant. We are ready to fight to the death with the Japs here!" said the guerrillas.
The officers and soldiers were in high spirits and loudly announced their determination to the people.
"Fighting the Japanese is to protect our hometown, and killing the Japanese is to accumulate merit! When faced with a national crisis, our guerrillas will never retreat!"
"Okay, well done to the guerrillas!"
"You are heroes!"
When the people saw so many corpses of the Japanese and these guerrilla officers and soldiers with their heads held high, they wanted to pick up their guns and join them in fighting the Japanese.
Seeing the heated people, the company commander "Bald Man" took the opportunity to shout: "But we now need many people to help us dig fortifications and repair trenches. Chief Yang said that those who are willing to help our guerrillas will take care of the food every day.
Go ahead and sign up here!"
In the past, those people who helped the guerrillas clean the battlefield were given porridge to drink, but now they help dig trenches and can take care of the food. Such a good thing makes the people feel a little unreal.
"I'll go, I can't fight the Japanese, but I have the strength, I can dig trenches!"
"I'll go too and repair the fortifications for the bosses."
Under the subtle guidance of patriotic propaganda, a large number of people soon stood up. Although they did not have guns and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, they saw the guerrillas desperately fighting the Japanese and wanted to do their part.
Another reason is that they were previously bewitched by traitors, misunderstood the guerrillas, and caused Yang Ling to be injured. They have been filled with guilt, and now they want to take this opportunity to help the guerrillas and make them feel at ease.
