The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

However, the battle in Yichang failed, and the 18th Division under the 18th Army was almost wiped out. In the face of heavy losses, someone must come forward to take responsibility, and Army Commander Peng Shan was the first to bear the brunt, but he also admitted it.

Chen Cheng, the commander of the sixth war zone, has also heard of Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade, but for a senior general like him who commands hundreds of thousands of troops, he really doesn't know much about a small army like Yang Ling. Just hear it.

"The Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade from the Sulu War Zone?" Chen Cheng asked.

Peng Shan replied: "It's them. They were originally seconded by the Fifth War Zone from the Sulu War Zone to deal with the elite troops of the devils. There are quite a few Type [-] submachine guns."

"Then they took part in the counterattack against Yichang. I added some manpower to them. They fought bloody battles with the devils in Jingzhen Mountain for four days, but none of the little devils took a step forward. The fighting power was very strong."

Peng Shan also knew that it was definitely not a fluke that a small army like Yang Ling's could perform well in so many battles.

"I hope, Mr. Chen, you can keep them in our sixth war zone. If you use it well, it will be a sharp knife that will become a devil's nightmare." Peng Shan spoke very highly of Yang Ling's Lieyan Special Warfare Brigade. high.

"Where are they now?"

"We are still resting in Yichang. Now our Sixth War Zone has just resumed and reset, and their ownership has not yet been determined. It stands to reason that they are still from the Sulu War Zone."

"If they are really as strong as you said, my Sixth War Zone is the time to employ people, and I will definitely not hesitate to promote and reuse them. I will talk about the Sulu War Zone."

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng told the chief of staff behind him: "Send the Lieyan special warfare team to the enemy's rear, and I want to test them to see if they are really worthy of the name."

"Yes!"

After the chief of staff responded, he immediately strode towards the war room, ready to assign tasks to Yang Ling and the others.

In the evening, a major staff officer from the sixth war zone led a few guards to the small village where Yang Ling and the others were resting.

But before the major's staff entered the village, they suddenly stood up from the side of the road and surrounded them by a few "savages" covered with weeds and branches.

Faced with these people whose faces were smeared with black ash and whose faces were covered with branches and weeds, these guards were pointed at by the black muzzles before they could draw their guns.

"Who are you? From that unit?"

Huang San, the newly-promoted team leader of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade, who was in charge of security outside the village, stared at the people who came from the commander's department of the war zone, and began to question them while looking them up and down.

"We are from Chief Chen of the Sixth War Zone. We are here to find the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade. Don't mess around."

Facing these people dressed like savages and the black muzzles of their guns, the major's staff thought they had encountered bandits.

"What about the documents?"

Huang San, the leader of the Lieyan team, did not let down his vigilance, and wanted to check his certificate.

"Who are you, why are you checking our documents?!" The major's staff officer is also a person of status, so he naturally doesn't want to be interrogated just like this.

"Sir, I'm Huang San, Captain of Lieyan Special Operations Brigade, please cooperate with us, otherwise I'm afraid I can only be a spy and arrest you." Huang San said neither humble nor overbearing.

Hearing that the people in front of them belonged to the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade, the major staff and several guards also looked at each other, saying that the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade was famous, who knew that they were dressed like beggars, and they were neither human nor ghost.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

To the north of Dangyang, in the dark night of torrential rain, more than [-] people from the Lieyan Special Operations Brigade were marching under the cover of night in the rain.

Although the weapons and equipment of the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade are much better than those of the regular troops, only a small number of officers and soldiers have captured devil raincoats, and most of the officers and soldiers have already stolen them.

Now Chongqing has re-established the sixth war zone, and Chen Cheng is also the commander of the war zone, and Yang Ling and his troops from the Sulu war zone are also temporarily assigned to the command of the sixth war zone.

The battle at the front line of Yichang is still going on, but most of the defense lines have turned into a confrontation stage. Both sides have deployed heavy troops on the front line of Yichang, and no one can do anything to the other.

Therefore, Chen Cheng, the chief of the sixth war zone, decided to send troops to harass and attack the devil's rear, in order to put pressure on the devil.

Peng Shan, commander of the 18th Army, recommended Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade to Chen Cheng, commander of the theater, but Chen Cheng had doubts about Yang Ling's combat effectiveness.

So this time sending them deep behind the enemy lines to rescue the prisoners of war was a test for the devils and a test for Yang Ling and the others.

Now Yang Ling and the others brought more than 100 brothers from the Sulu war zone. After repeated battles, only 30 remained, but all of them are the kings of Hades who killed people on the battlefield, and they are veritable elite veterans.

And their Flame Special Forces Brigade absorbed some new members on the battlefield, and added some troops to them during the battle.

Now the Lieyan special warfare brigade commanded by Yang Ling was no longer just a group of people brought over from the Sulu theater, but a force with hundreds of people.

While resting in the small mountain village, Yang Ling reorganized his Lie Yan Special Operations Brigade.

According to the organization of special operations, Yang Ling reorganized his Raging Flame Special Operations Brigade into three squadrons.

Among them, Grizzly, Zhang Tie and Sun Liangcheng were appointed as the squadron leaders of the three flame squadrons, and each squadron had more than 100 people and no more than 200 people.

Each squadron has several flame squads under it, and the squad is divided into flame combat teams, which are fully equipped for enemy investigation, blasting, sniping, engineers, medical soldiers, and assault soldiers.

It can be said that the Raging Flame Special Operations Brigade has not been weakened by several bloody battles, but is expanding in scale due to the constant replenishment of fresh blood.

The recruited officers and soldiers are all veterans who have fought against devils, and their combat effectiveness of the Flame Special Operations Brigade has not declined but has risen.

Yang Ling and the others were carrying out the task of rescuing prisoners of war this time. During the Battle of Zaoyi, many Chinese officers and soldiers were captured by the devils because they ran out of ammunition and food.

Under the instigation and lobbying of the traitors, some officers and soldiers took off their Chinese military uniforms and became a puppet army who helped the evil.

However, there are still about a thousand captured officers and soldiers who resolutely refused to surrender to the devils, and are now concentrated in the newly built prisoner-of-war camp in Dangyang.

After the Battle of Zaoyi ended, most of the troops of the Devil's 11th Army had withdrawn to the original garrison area. Because the Dangyang area was a newly occupied area, it was stationed by the Devil's 18th Mixed Brigade.

The devil's mixed brigade organization is an independent combat unit. Compared with the division with a large force establishment, the mixed brigade is also organized to meet the needs of changes in the war.

Mixed brigades generally have only two or three brigades, equipped with various combat units such as artillery, engineers, and cavalry, and are suitable for operations in mountainous areas and complex environments because they are more flexible than large divisions.

The 18th Mixed Brigade has a complete range of combat units and is one of the elite troops newly formed by the devils. This time it was transferred to the front line of Dangyang and placed behind the 13th Division, which is enough to show their elite.

This time, Yang Ling and the others were going to rescue thousands of captured officers and soldiers from the Devil's 18th Mixed Brigade. It could be said that they were under a lot of pressure.

Although it is said that there will be a guerrilla team staying behind the enemy to cooperate with them, but if their rescue fails, then with the ferocious character of the devils, it is very likely to kill these captured officers and soldiers.

This time, Yang Ling not only left the officers and soldiers who had not recovered from their injuries in the small mountain village to recuperate, but also brought out all the officers and soldiers of the Raging Flame Special Operations Brigade who were able to fight.

At this moment, under the cover of torrential rain and night, they were already very close to the camp where the devils held prisoners of war. It was a temporary prisoner-of-war camp. According to intelligence, there was about a squadron of devils guarding it.

"Mr. Yang, it's raining too much. The river ahead is full of water and the bridge has been washed away. Should we find a place to hide from the rain and wait until dawn to find a place to cross the river?"

The heavy rain made it very difficult for the Lieyan Special Forces Brigade to march at night. The brothers were all wet, but the squadron leader Sun Liangcheng who was walking in front turned back and reported a new situation.

Now it has entered the rainy season in the Yangtze River Basin. Although Yang Ling and the others had considered everything before, they did not expect to encounter such a heavy rain, which undoubtedly brought some difficulties to their rescue.

"Let the brothers rest where they are, and place the guard 50 meters away."

Yang Ling frowned when he heard that the bridge was destroyed by the flood in the river ahead. After wiping the rain off his forehead, he was going to see the situation himself.

"Rest in place, the third flame team is in charge of vigilance, 50 meters away."

In the darkness came the officers' whispered orders, and the marching team stopped suddenly.
