Chapter 272: Winning the First Battle

The intensity of the devil's attack continued unabated, wailing and wounded soldiers were constantly carried down from the line of fire, and every time a wounded passed by Gaoqiaomen, Wang Huzi and others would always come forward to inquire about the situation of the battle at the front, and the answers they received were the same, and their brows became deeper and deeper.

The front line was beaten fiercely, and the wounded who were carried down were almost almost intact, and those who broke their arms and legs were already considered good, and even worse, their stomachs were cut through holes by explosive films, and their intestines slipped out, but they couldn't die, and they wailed and suffered alive.

The tragic condition of the wounded gradually cooled down the enthusiasm of the student soldiers who stepped on the battlefield for the first time, although they had not really fought the enemy, they had already seen the cruelty of war, and those students who were weak in ability to withstand the smell of pungent blood and could not help but vomit.

For the first time, the student soldiers looked at these veterans who had been on the battlefield differently, and felt that they had scolded them for being cowardly and incompetent, after all, they really stood on the battlefield of flesh and blood, and only then did they know the cruelty and ruthlessness of the battlefield.

"Fourth, why don't we run," the blood of the timid student cooled down, and now only the fear of war remains, and he can't help but want to escape from this hell full of death.

The student soldier Wang Zikun ranked fourth in the family, although he was also scared to death, but he still gritted his teeth and held back, and persuaded the classmates who wanted to escape: "If we run away like this, won't we become deserters, and we may not die if we follow Chief Yang, if we escape, we won't be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives." ”

"But I'm scared ......"

Wang Zikun comforted: "What are you afraid of, follow me when the fight starts." ”

There are not a few people in the student soldiers who want to escape, and when they shout slogans, they shout loudly and scold the army for being incompetent and losing their land, but when they really come to the battlefield, they realize that they are so close to death and know how difficult it is to be a soldier.

Wang Huzi and other veterans also gathered together to whisper, the front-line artillery rumbled, and they could feel the ground under their feet also trembling, according to their experience, this is definitely not a small mountain cannon, but a large-caliber howitzer, which is not a good sign.

Yang Ling has also been paying close attention to the battle situation on the front line, the situation is not optimistic, and what is even more disturbing is that these troops who have been contained and reorganized do not have a clear order to stay here.

"Who is the commander of the guerrilla battalion Yang Ling?"

In the darkness, the panting lieutenant adjutant rushed to the makeshift recuperation of the guerrilla camp and began to shout at the top of his lungs, and the veterans stood up with their guns in hand, and they knew it was time for them to get on.

Yang Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand, pulled the corners of his wrinkled clothes, and stood up: "I am Yang Ling, the major of the guerrilla battalion, and the battalion commander." ”

The lieutenant adjutant ran to Yang Ling and saluted, handed the note with the order written to Yang Ling and said: "Battalion Commander Yang, there is a group of devils who have broken through the defense line of the 51st Division and are coming to this side. ”

"Yes!" Yang Ling took the order, and without waiting for the adjutant to go far, he had already raised his voice and gave an order to the brothers in the guerrilla battalion: "Assemble!" Target Wangjiazhuang! ”

More than 400 brothers in the guerrilla battalion walked out of Gaoqiaomen in the dark of night, and under the guidance of their guides, they went all the way east to Wangjiazhuang.

The dark night sky was lit up as red as day by the explosions on the front line, and the occasional blinding flash of light reflected the hula trotting forward in the night, no one spoke, only heavy gasps and the sound of shattering impacts.

Many of the houses along the route had collapsed and started a raging fire, smoke billowed and some of the burning beams collapsed in the flames, and the people had already evacuated into the city, and their homes were destined to burn in the flames of war.

There were a lot of bombed-up corpses on the side of the road to Wangjiazhuang, lying on the damp ground, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the team just glanced at it in a hurry, and then rushed into the darkness in a hurry.

The devil came faster than Yang Ling expected, and when they could see the swarthy Wangjiazhuang from a distance, Liu Yidao's company, which was running to the front, suddenly exchanged fire with the front.

In the darkness, it was pitch black that nothing could be seen clearly, and the team that was burying their heads in the advance immediately had some commotion, and the student soldiers were even more unbearable, and the sudden exchange of fire frightened them into six gods, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Everyone is hiding on the spot, Qin Shou sent someone to the front to ask what's going on!" Yang Ling's voice was still calm, so that the team immediately stabilized, the veterans hula scattered to the side of the road to guard, and the student soldiers also lay on the ground under the scolding of the veterans and did not dare to move.

These student soldiers are all students of National Central University, Jinling University, Yenching University and other colleges and universities, they are full of enthusiasm for serving the country, they have knowledge and culture, and their weakness is that they do not have any battlefield experience.

At the beginning, Liu Yidao was full of opinions when he saw that he wanted to add these completely cumbersome student soldiers to the team, but Yang Ling still tried his best to keep them, because he also had his own plans.

He clearly understands that this battle will not end for a while and a half, from Shanghai to Nanjing after the bloody battles, the elite of the army is almost exhausted, as the veterans count and die, a large number of new recruits are added to the ranks, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army will continue to decline.

Now Yang Ling is not asking them to be cannon fodder to die, Yang Ling wants them to experience the baptism of blood and fire and cultivate them to become the backbone of his team.

As long as these student soldiers with knowledge and culture adapt themselves to the war and train them, no matter how many new recruits are added to the team in the future, with these backbones, the team will not collapse, and will soon burst out again with strong combat effectiveness.

The soldiers sent by Yang Ling to the front to ask about the situation had not walked a few steps, and the people from Liu Yidao's faction had already hurried over and shouted loudly in a panic: "Battalion commander, we have bumped into the arms of the devil!" ”

Hearing the shouts of the comers, the team that had just stabilized was in a commotion again.

Yang Ling's face sank, and he scolded loudly: "What are you panicking about!" ”

"Listen to the gunshots, the devils are just a small army that has infiltrated them, look at your appearance!"

Yang Ling reprimanded the student soldiers who wanted to retreat without any scruples, making them blush to the base of their necks, and for the first time they felt ashamed of their cowardice.

"Qin Shou!"

"Here!"

"Lead the students to hide on the spot!"

"Yes!"

"Wang Huzi, you guys are going around from the left to copy the back of the devil!"

"Blacksmith! You will support Liu Yidao with me, and we will destroy this little devil! ”

Yang Ling's order was crisp and categorical, and the various companies that received the order immediately took action and began to move under the cover of darkness.

Most of Yang Ling's guerrilla battalion were supplemented by people, and the people were chaotic, although Yang Ling made them return to their hearts during the afternoon training, but when they encountered a strong enemy, they were likely to collapse.

At this moment, Yang Ling gave full play to the leading role of the officer, and led the team with a spear in his hand to fight back against the devils he encountered, stabilizing the morale of the army.

The number of this group of devils is not large, and they did not give in when they encountered Liu Yidao, but wanted to eat Liu Yidao and them in one bite, but with Yang Ling leading the team to support, this group of devils realized that they had encountered the main force of the Chinese army and wanted to retreat.

At this moment, the team led by Wang Huzi stabbed the devil from behind, and the two teams attacked back and forth, and immediately squeezed the little devil to pieces, except for a few fish that exposed the net, most of the devils were annihilated on the spot.

The victory in the first battle greatly encouraged the military morale of the soldiers of the guerrilla battalion, let them see Yang Ling's calmness and bravery, and improved their sense of belonging to the guerrilla battalion.
