Nanjing, the headquarters of the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army.

"Waste, waste, all waste!"

Shunroku Hatahata, commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, received a telegram that Watanabe Shouichi, the head of the Watanabe detachment, who was encircling and suppressing the guerrillas in the occupied area, was killed in Baoo, and roared in anger.

It would be reasonable to say that he died on the frontal battlefield of heavy confrontation, but in the occupied area where he had an absolute advantage, he lost two detachment commanders in half a year, how could this not make the commander Shunroku Hata angry.

In the face of the roar from the commander's office, the staff officers in the devil's headquarters were all silent, and they also learned from various gossip what made the commander so angry.

"How could so many troops be defeated at the hands of the guerrillas?" There are devil staff officers who are puzzled.

A devil staff officer guessed: "It must be that the people of Shina are too cunning, and the captain of the Watanabe detachment is careless." ”

"Hmph, I have been defeated by a group of rabble again and again, they are simply a disgrace to my Japanese Imperial Army, if it were me, I would have wiped my neck and committed suicide a long time ago, so as not to be embarrassed." There are also devils who feel that this is a shame.

"The Chinese guerrillas are too arrogant, we should send more troops to encircle and suppress them, and we must completely eliminate them!"

"Yes, we need to teach the guerrillas a good lesson and let them know the consequences of angering us!"

"This matter should also be considered in the long run, the guerrillas in China have become a climate, and we can no longer be careless."

"Hmph, I think you're a coward too!"

"It's just a group of rabble, there is no need to mobilize the army, let the commander of the Suzhou, Anhui and Zhejiang appeasements in China have a headache, we should devote more energy to the frontal battlefield."

.......

The news that the headquarters of Baoying's devil Watanabe detachment was served in one pot soon spread in the headquarters, and the devil officers were all quarrelling.

The young Zhuang faction among the devil officers was very tough and demanded that more troops be immediately dispatched to encircle and suppress it in order to wash away the shame.

However, some other devil staff officers have a different view, feeling that the pressure on the front line is very great now, and there is no need to pay too much attention to these elusive guerrillas in the occupied areas, and let the Nanjing puppet government send puppet troops to clear them.

No matter what, Yang Ling and the others stabbed the hornet's nest this time, making their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps attract a lot of attention at once.

The devil soldiers gritted their teeth at that time and couldn't wait to deal with them quickly, because Yang Ling and their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps defeated them again and again, making them lose face, and they urgently needed to regain face.

And when the rest of the friendly troops in the Sulu theater learned that Yang Ling and they had won another battle, they were happy at the same time, but they were more jealous.

"Damn, this surnamed Yang really has a few brushes, under the heavy siege and suppression of the devil's army, he can even serve the devil's headquarters in one pot, it's really more popular than the dead, why doesn't Lao Tzu have such good luck."

"But the surname Yang fought this battle well, and he finally gave us a bad breath."

At the beginning, when the devils pressed heavily on the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, many friendly troops thought that Yang Ling and their Northern Jiangsu guerrilla corps would definitely suffer heavy losses this time.

But I didn't expect that after losing the Boundary Head and Baoying, now I have a new board back, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

"This little devil is too unbeaten, why is he even being served by someone." There are also people who are puzzled.

Others were rejoicing: "Their Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps has now become a thorn in the side of the devil, and we can finally take a breath." ”

"Why don't you take advantage of the attention of the little devils to be attracted by the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, let's fish in troubled waters and do a good job?" The Sulu guerrilla corps had staff advice.

"I think it's doable."

The so-called one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the guerrilla corps in northern Jiangsu made a big move in Baoying, and all parties took action one after another, some people waited and watched, and some people wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the devil for a vote.

And the Wang puppet government in Nanjing saw that Yang Ling had killed the devil's command in Baoying, and they were angry openly, but secretly happy.

The people they sent to persuade them to surrender were killed by Yang Ling, making them lose face, but their strength was not good, so they could only borrow a knife to kill people and let the devils help fight Yang Ling.

The devil is also the master who does not see the rabbit and does not scatter the eagle, so naturally he will not be fooled, and he has taken the opportunity to extort and extort a large amount of military expenses.

Now seeing the devils deflated, although the Nanjing puppet government and the little devils are on the same front, they are still very happy, now they don't need to beg the devils, the devils will take the initiative to fight Yangling and their northern Jiangsu corps, they can just watch the play as spectators.

"Good news, good news, the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps descended from heaven to eliminate the devil's Baoying headquarters, and even the devil's detachment leader Watanabe Shouichi was shot to death."

The Sulu Theater Command, which was hidden in the Lunan Mountains, also received the news of Baoying's victory at the first time, and the intelligence staff reported the news to the commanders at the first time.

"Really? Didn't you say earlier that they were encircled by devils? Faced with this news, Commander Yu Xuezhong first questioned.

Because these commanders have seen more winds and waves, the troops under their command often lie about their military exploits, often killing an infantry squad of more than 50 devils, and when they report, they can exaggerate it as a squadron that destroys devils.

Therefore, there is a lot of water in many telegrams that report success, and these chiefs know it well.

"It's true, this is a message from our agents lurking in Nanjing." The staff officer in charge of the strategic intelligence department of the Sulu theater said firmly.

"Send a telegram to the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps to confirm." General Zhou Jingxuan, chief of staff, pondered for a moment and then ordered.

"Yes!"

"This Yang Ling is really the lucky general of our Sulu Theater, he is in charge of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, but he has won a lot of battles, and he has given us a long face in the Sulu Theater, I think he should be commended." After the intelligence staff officer left, General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, said with a smile.

"Although Yang Ling fought well, but he disobeyed the orders of the headquarters and abandoned Baoying without authorization, so that tens of thousands of people in Baoying fell into the hands of the enemy again, if we give him another reward, then the troops below will act like this without authorization, wouldn't it be a mess, then how to fight, I think the reward will be waived, and it will be good if he is not sent to the military court." Deputy Commander Shen Liejun shook his head.

"Brother Shen's words are not right, the devil's heavy troops are pressing the realm fiercely, and the strength of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps is not good, and it is also a helpless move to abandon the Baoying, we must also understand the difficulties of the troops below." Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, explained.

"Besides, the ammunition materials they applied for last time have not been allocated yet, and they have been dealing with devils for so long when they lack ammunition, I think it is not easy."

"Our Sulu Theater has always been rewarded for meritorious service, and those who have been punished for disobeying military orders will be noted down to Yang Ling first, this time they won the battle, and we can't chill the hearts of those officers and soldiers who fought bloodily, Director Zhou, after confirming the battle report, you personally draft a commendation telegram and send it over, for meritorious officers and soldiers, how can we cherish a few medals."

In the end, it was the commander Yu Xuezhong who stopped the argument between the two and made some arrangements of his own.

"Yes!" General Zhou Fu, director of the Political Department, agreed.
