"Someone's coming from behind!"

Although the devil stopped attacking, the brothers still did not relax their vigilance, after all, in this life-and-death battlefield, the slightest negligence and carelessness will be lost.

The guard post hidden on a high place saw a group of people touching the street behind him under the eaves, and immediately gestured to the brothers resting in the courtyard to warn them.

Hearing the warning from the guard post, more than 20 officers and men in tattered uniforms who were scattered in the courtyard to rest quickly rushed to the nearest bunker, and more than 20 rifles immediately went out.

The brothers pressed the trigger with their fingers and gasped as they stared at the bombed-out streets behind them, and through the smoke of gunfire that hung over the city, they saw shadows coming against the walls.

In such urban street battles, there is no so-called front and rear, it can be said that there are dangers, and who does not know whether it is friend or foe coming from behind.

The platoon commander, whose head was wrapped in a bloody bandage, cautiously poked out half of his head and peered out into the street, observing the enemy's situation.

"Looks like we're wearing our clothes......."

Some brothers saw that the people who came were also dressed as officers and soldiers of the Northern Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps, and whispered to remind their platoon commander.

When the platoon commander heard the brother next to him speak, he turned his head and glanced at the brother fiercely, and his eyes motioned for him to shut up.

And the group of people who came under the eaves were also very vigilant, maybe they found some movement, and they didn't come over the broken wall.

"Which battalion of brothers is on the other side?" Soon, shouts came from across the street.

The platoon commander knew that they had been exposed, but he did not hesitate, pointed his gun at the side of the broken wall and replied: "Our second battalion, which battalion are you from?" ”

"Lao Zhang, damn it, you're not dead yet, it's me, Xu's head."

The platoon commander's familiar voice came from behind the broken wall, and a man with a shell gun in his hand flashed out from behind the broken wall with a little excitement.

The platoon commander in the courtyard looked at the other party's bare head, and breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was also from the second battalion, and scolded with a smile: "Lord Yama is a relative of Lao Tzu, and if you want to accept it, you will be accepted first." ”

"Put your guns down, don't go off and hurt your brothers." Seeing that the people coming from behind the broken wall were all from the second battalion, the platoon commander also hurriedly waved his hand to let the brothers put down their guns.

Soon the two groups approached and joined up, both brothers from the same battalion, and although they had been separated for only half a day, they had almost never seen each other again.

"How did you come back from your shit?"

The platoon commander surnamed Zhang and the bare-headed platoon commander Xu came to a bear hug and asked puzzledly.

Because they were ordered to go to the east of the city to suppress the rebellion of the fourth battalion, they lost contact with the battalion and were later blocked in the city.

They thought that the camp had been withdrawn, but who knew that now when they saw that these familiar people had returned, the more than 20 brothers in the courtyard were both happy and puzzled.

Platoon Commander Xu, who was bareheaded, clenched his fist and punched Platoon Commander Zhang's chest, sideways out of the way, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, let's see who is coming?" ”

When Platoon Commander Zhang saw Yang Ling, who was protected by everyone in the middle, he was stunned at first, and then his face showed ecstasy, and he stood up with a salute: "Chief Yang!" ”

"Put it down, put it down, watch out for the devil's sniper." Seeing this platoon leader Zhang raise his hand and salute, Platoon Commander Xu hurriedly reminded.

"Oh, yes," Seeing that Yang Ling actually killed back in the city, Platoon Commander Zhang was a little incoherent with excitement, but soon said worriedly: "Sir, the city is dangerous, there are devils everywhere, why did you come to the city......"

"You are all my brothers, and if you have not withdrawn, how can I go away?"

Yang Ling looked at the more than twenty dusty brothers in the courtyard and said distressedly.

Hearing Yang Ling's words, the more than 20 brothers in the courtyard all had a warm current in their hearts, and they almost shed tears of emotion, that is, Yang Ling did not abandon them.

"Give the brethren some food and water."

Looking at these brothers who relied on the courtyard and fought with the little devils, Yang Ling's heart was full of guilt, and he was sorry for them.

"Sir, we're not hungry......" Platoon Commander Zhang swallowed his saliva and said embarrassedly when he heard that there was something to eat.

"Lao Zhang, we suddenly became like mothers, the chief asked you to eat to replenish your strength, that's fighting devils."

Platoon Commander Xu said as he took out a box of seized biscuits from a canvas hanging on his body and handed it over, saying with a smile.

Hearing this, Platoon Commander Zhang also laughed innocently, and soon he and more than 20 brothers devoured it.

They have not entered the rice since last night, they have been ordered to guard this courtyard, responsible for the security of the flanks, and they do not dare to leave, they have long been hungry.

"Why are there only so many of you? Do you know where the other brothers are? Taking advantage of the fact that these brothers were eating and drinking, Yang Ling also pulled Zhang Platoon Commander to ask.

"Sir, we are guarding this courtyard under the order of Deputy Captain Zhang, covering the flanks, and Deputy Captain Zhang is leading people to cover the transfer of the people." Platoon Commander Zhang replied.

Hearing that the deputy captain Zhang Liechen was in front, Yang Ling did not delay, leaving some people to assist Zhang Platoon Commander to expand the control area on the flank, and then went straight to Zhang Liechen's position.

At this moment, Zhang Liechen is leading people to build a simple line of defense with the general finger as the center, trying to block the devil in this line and cover the transfer of the people behind him.

When he heard the report that Yang Ling was back, the disgraced Zhang Liechen didn't believe it at all, but when he really saw Yang Ling appear in front of him, he hurriedly greeted him as if he had found the backbone.

"Chief Yang—"

Seeing that Yang Ling actually returned to the city, Deputy Captain Zhang Liechen held Yang Ling's hand, and was speechless with excitement.

During Yang Ling's absence, Yuan Guangtao, the deputy captain in charge of military affairs, became the actual person in charge, but Yuan Guangtao's command error immediately led people to withdraw in a panic, which was equivalent to giving Huaiyin to the devil.

In the face of the troops trapped in the city and many people who did not evacuate, Zhang Liechen could have walked away, but in the end he stayed.

Because he knew that if he led people here to resist dragging the devil for a minute longer, then he would be able to evacuate more brothers and people from the country.

But he never thought that in such a bad situation, Yang Ling would come back, and return to the city where the war was burning.

"How's it going?"

After Yang Ling only exchanged a few words with Zhang Liechen, he asked about the battle situation in the city.

"The devils are now organizing forces to encircle and suppress our brothers who are surrounded in several places, and now there are brothers who are surrounded by devils in these places......" Zhang Liechen said, circled a simple map of the city with a pencil.

"To the east of us are part of the original fourth battalion led by the traitor Xie Zhengxiang, in front of us there is about a reinforced squadron of devils, behind us there are two infantry squads of devils controlling, and on the left flank there is about an infantry squadron of devils, a mortar and a Type 92 infantry gun."

Soon, Zhang Liechen introduced some information to Yang Ling, so that Yang Ling had a general understanding of the situation.

"How many more of us can fight?" Yang Ling asked.

"There are still fifty-five people in the guard company, there are still one hundred and seventy people in the two companies of the second battalion, and there are more than one hundred and thirty brothers in the fourth battalion who have not surrendered to the enemy, and we now control two streets, more than ten commanding heights, and build a simple line of defense, and we have repelled several attacks by the devils.....

Hearing that there were still so many brothers that Zhang Liechen had gathered now, Yang Ling was also overjoyed, and the situation was not as bad as he imagined.

Yang Ling has now also brought four platoons of brothers over, and now these brothers are already a considerable fighting force.

"The top priority now is to get out of the few brothers who are surrounded by devils, and I'm afraid they won't last long." Yang Ling said.
