Zhang Liechen, the deputy captain of the brigade, led the logistics unit that withdrew from Huaiyin, and the wounded soldiers and civilians were evacuated from the small road to Lunan.

Yang Ling led the remixed troops along the main road and left the territory of Siyang County, and did not retreat directly to the north to Lunan, but directly turned to the territory of Muyang County.

"Stretch the line a little longer and raise all our flags!"

Yang Ling and the others were tasked with attracting the devils to chase the soldiers, covering the wounded and the safe retreat of the people, so under the command of Yang Ling, the troops were ready to go around in circles with the devils for a period of time.

They did not retreat directly to Lunan, but turned around and ran to the territory of Muyang County, so far from the south, which made it difficult for the devils to accurately judge their real retreat direction and prevent the devils from mobilizing heavy troops to set up interceptions in advance.

Yang Ling did not hide their whereabouts, but deliberately swaggered on the road, the mighty line stretched very long, and at the same time pulled some branches to create smoke and dust, in order to attract the attention of the devil.

"Report to the chief, there is a town ten miles ahead, where puppet soldiers and devils are stationed, Commander Sun asks for instructions, do you want to bypass it!"

When Yang Ling and his team marched mightily on the main road, the cavalry in front of them rode their horses and galloped back, restrained the horses in front of Yang Ling, turned over and dismounted, and stood up to salute and report loudly.

"How many devils and puppet soldiers are there?" Yang Ling stopped and asked.

The scout replied loudly: "I learned from the local people that there are thirteen devils and more than thirty puppet soldiers stationed in the town. ”

"Tell Sun Liang to call me, and the bigger the movement, the better."

Yang Ling heard that there were not many Japanese puppet troops stationed in the town, so he immediately gave an order.

"Yes!"

The scout cavalry answered, turned on his horse and ran back the way he came.

"Order the troops, speed up, and rest for two hours in the town ahead."

Seeing the reconnaissance cavalry disappear from view, Yang Ling shouted loudly at the marching troops.

Soon the troops quickened the pace of marching, and for a time the flags were waving on the main road, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, as if a large army was marching.

When the troops had walked a few miles, suddenly the air defense sentry sounded the air defense siren, and on the southern edge of the sky, a small black dot was rapidly flying towards Yang Ling and them.

"Order the troops to evacuate and hide on the spot, and set up the anti-aircraft machine gun for me!"

Yang Ling also stopped and looked into the distance, and when he saw that the devil had only come to a plane, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the adjutant.

Soon, the troops on the march evacuated to both sides of the road, and a quadruple anti-aircraft machine gun brought out from Huaiyin was also erected on a hillside beside the road, ready for air defense.

The devil's plane saw the marching team on the road from a distance, and soon flew over Yang Ling, and the roar of the motor shook the ears.

The devil's plane circled over Yang Ling and they reconnoitred, and the brothers did not get an order, nor did they open fire rashly.

"It's a devil's reconnaissance plane, do you want to shoot it down?"

Looking at the devil plane hovering at a low altitude, the blacksmith of the first battalion ran to the bushes on the side of the road where Yang Ling was hiding to ask for instructions.

"Just scare and scare, let it go back and report to the devil's pursuers." Yang Ling commanded.

Yang Ling and they are responsible for luring away the devil's pursuers, so they need to deliberately let the devil know that they are here now.

"Damn, this time it's a cheap little devil."

When the brothers of the anti-aircraft machine gun squad received the order to scare and scare the devils, not to shoot down, although they were a little resentful, they still resolutely carried out the order.

"Teng Teng Teng - "

Soon, the four anti-aircraft machine guns set up on the hillside opened fire on the devil planes hovering at low altitude for reconnaissance, and the bullets flew into the sky.

The devil's reconnaissance plane was ordered to reconnoiter the traces of the guerrillas who had withdrawn from Huaiyin, and they found it in Muyang County.

Because the guerrillas on the ground had anti-aircraft machine guns for air defense, the devil's reconnaissance planes did not dare to make a mistake, and after pulling up and circling twice, they returned to the way they came, and soon disappeared from the field of vision of the brothers.

"The devil's plane has gone back to report the news, let the brothers of the guard's reconnaissance squad brighten their eyes a little, the devil's pursuers should come over soon, and report immediately if there is a situation."

Watching the devil plane leave, Yang Ling stood up from the bushes where he was hiding and commanded the troops to continue to advance.

When they arrived at the town where the Japanese puppet army was stationed as reported by the reconnaissance company, the brothers of the reconnaissance company led by Sun Liang had already been ordered to take the town.

"Report to the chief, we have taken control of the town, killed thirteen devil soldiers, two devil military advisers, twenty-one puppet soldiers, captured twenty people, and grasped the maintenance of the 17 traitors of the association......."

As soon as Yang Ling arrived outside the town, Sun Liang, the commander of the reconnaissance company, greeted him with two brothers and reported to Yang Ling.

"You guys played well."

Yang Ling was very satisfied with Sun Liang, a young officer, and praised him, which made the heart of Sun Liang, the commander of the reconnaissance company, happy, after all, it was a very honorable thing to be praised by the commander.

"Have you figured out the surrounding situation, is there a large army of devils?" Yang Ling asked.

"I figured it out, the closest devil from here is twenty miles away, there is a devil squad and a pseudo military camp."

"Do you want me to take my brothers over and destroy them?" Sun Liang, the commander of the reconnaissance company, asked eagerly.

Yang Ling shook his head after thinking about it and said, "It's too far, let them go this time, let the brothers rest first, our next road is not easy." ”

"Yes!"

Although Sun Liang wanted to make another contribution, he was worried that since Yang Ling gave the order, he would also give up his plan to destroy this group of devils.

"Let the brothers go into the town to rest, and the cooking teams of each battalion will immediately bury the pot and make food, and the first battalion will be responsible for guarding."

Yang Ling and the others evacuated Huaiyin last night until now, except for a short rest halfway, they have hardly stopped, and now the brothers are also hungry, and now while the devil has not caught up, he asked the troops to seize the time to rest.

More than 700 brothers soon went into the town to rest, and the people of the town were frightened to death when they heard the gunshots.

However, seeing these guerrilla officers and soldiers entering the town, the military discipline was strict, and there was no disturbance to the people, which made the people in the town finally relieved.

Although Muyang is not far from Huaiyin, because this is the area controlled by the Japanese puppet army, under the malicious propaganda of the Japanese puppet army, the people do not know about the guerrillas, so they do not dare to come out to talk.

Yang Ling and they were passing by, and the devils would soon reoccupy this place, in order to avoid causing trouble to the local people, they did not take the initiative to contact the people, but only executed a group of traitors who maintained the association.

The troops had rested in the town for more than two hours, and the brethren in charge of the cavalry reconnaissance squad that had fallen behind sent someone back to report that a force of devil cavalry, about fifty or sixty people, was chasing after them.
