Zhang Hai and the others also set up an ambush here. Once the devils bypassed Han Er and the others, they would never have thought that there would be an ambush here.
"I didn't even see a single ghost, so I guess the devils withdrew."
"This group of devils is really evil. They chased them all the way, and if they are fucked by us, they will be treated like a turtle?"
"You know what it means to be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of well ropes for ten years. They have suffered from us in Yichang City, so they don't dare to be careless."
"Whatever, it's fine if we don't catch up. If they really bite us and don't let go, this forest will be their burial place."
"What about Mr. Yang and the others?" Han Er asked.
Zhang Hai pointed to the direction behind him and said, "It's more than ten miles away to rest."
"Okay then, let's go too."
Han Er took a look at the mountain forest where he could not see his fingers, and made sure that there was no kid chasing him, so he suggested.
Soon, Zhang Hai and Han Er led the broken brothers to catch up with Yang Ling's large army and reported the situation.
Yang Ling was quite surprised that the devils didn't catch up, but he still didn't dare to be careless. The little devil's belly was full of bad water. Who knew if this was their conspiracy.
Yang Ling and the others stopped and went all the way in the next few days, setting up several ambushes, but after all, they couldn't see the devil. In the end, Yang Ling and the others had to admit the fact that the devil was really scared this time.
Since the devils did not catch up, Yang Ling and the others no longer cared about what was behind them, so they sped up their speed, and soon escorted the rescued more than 1000 captured officers and soldiers to the guerrilla zone of Dahongshan.
The more than 1000 rescued officers and soldiers arrived in the Dahongshan guerrilla area, but the guerrilla commander was overjoyed.
The Dahongshan guerrilla zone was located behind enemy lines, and encountered several encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops. Its strength continued to weaken, and life was not very good.
Now more than 1000 rescued officers and soldiers have arrived in the guerrilla zone, and the sixth war zone also sent them a telegram to add these people to their guerrilla force, which greatly enhanced their strength, and they were naturally very happy.
Yang Ling and the others were warmly received by the guerrilla commander of Dahong Mountain, and sincerely invited Yang Ling and the others to stay and fight side by side with them.
But Yang Ling and the others had already received the telegram from the sixth war zone, and they would return immediately after the escort task was completed. Although they really wanted to help the officers and soldiers in the Dahongshan guerrilla zone to fight the devils, because of the military order, they left after two days of rest.
Text Chapter 420 Chapter [-] War Zone
After Yang Ling and the others finished rescuing the captured officers and soldiers and escorted them safely to the Dahongshan guerrilla zone, they were immediately ordered to go to Enshi, Hubei, because that was where the headquarters of the commander of the re-established Sixth Theater was located.
Chen Cheng's Sixth War Zone shouldered the important task of defending the accompanying capital Chongqing, and at the same time he also served as the chairman of Hubei Province, so the commander's headquarters of the Sixth War Zone was set up in Enshi, a small city in Hubei.
With the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the Sixth War Zone, government agencies and units in Hubei Province, as well as many schools and factories moving into Enshi, this small town became noisy and lively.
However, as a large number of government agencies and factories withdrew to the small city of Enshi, various problems followed.
The most important thing is the housing problem. More than [-] people and officers and soldiers poured into Enshi, causing this small city to become overcrowded, and most people can only build shacks to live temporarily.
So when Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Sixth War Zone, arrived in Enshi and set up his headquarters behind the Ai Family Ancestral Hall, the first thing he did was to organize manpower to build a house, because the various agencies and units he accompanied were crowded in several small houses, which was really difficult. office.
Fortunately, Enshi, Hubei Province is rich in products, and with the influx of a large number of people, there are enough manpower. After only half a month of busy work, new houses have been erected one after another. At that time, many air-raid shelters were dug in particular.
Since Wuhan and other places have fallen, a large number of government agencies and factories have arrived in Enshi, so it has actually become the temporary administrative and military economic center of Hubei Province, and it is developing vigorously in all aspects.
When Yang Ling and his flaming special combat team arrived in the small city of Enshi, Hubei after a difficult journey, seeing the hordes of businessmen and cavalry and the small merchants hawking endlessly, it felt like a dream.
Now there are wars everywhere outside, and the devils and puppet troops are rampant in the devil-occupied area, the economy is depressed, and it looks dilapidated.
But in this small town of Yangling, they finally felt the vigor and vitality. The officers and soldiers of the Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade, who had just returned from the bloody battle, felt as if they had entered another world.
After Yang Ling and the others submitted their documents to the security forces stationed in Enshi and obtained identification, they were sent to a camp to rest and wait for orders.
When Yang Ling and the others arrived in Enshi, at the Ai Family Ancestral Hall where the commander-in-chief of the sixth theater was located, Chen Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the sixth theater, had just finished the meeting of senior generals after the reset of the sixth theater.
Now that the sixth war zone is being reset, the Chongqing Military Commission has assigned five group armies to the sixth war zone. Their main task is to block Yichang and other places and prevent the devils from continuing to threaten Chongqing from westward.
The Jiangfang army of General Wu Qiwei, assigned to the sixth theater, is the most important defense. Therefore, if the Jiangfang defense is breached, the devils will go upstream along the Yangtze River to attack Chongqing.
Therefore, after the meeting of senior officers at the division level and above held in the sixth war zone, the commander-in-chief Chen Cheng deliberately left the commander of the Jiangfang Army, General Wu Qiwei, to talk alone, and listened to his combat plan for Jiangfang Army's defense against the devils.
"At present, our river defense force has very few ships, which can only be used for patrolling, and it is difficult to confront the devil's fleet head-on. Therefore, our main defense focus is the coastal defense fort."
In the battle of Jiangyin a few years ago, the Chinese naval force was almost wiped out, and now several gunboats belonging to the Jiangyin force even captured the Japanese.
And those ships transformed from merchant ships and fishing boats can carry troops and patrol well. Once they meet the devil's ships, they will only be beaten. Therefore, General Wu Qiwei, the commander of the Jiang Defense Force, focused his defense on the shore.
"There are many narrow places in the waterway from Yichang to Chongqing. I plan to build forts in these places. Once the devil ships want to go upstream, we will sink them so that they cannot threaten Chongqing."
"I really agree with your idea. We have few ships. We will undoubtedly use eggs and stones to fight head-to-head on the river. We will not do business at a loss. After you go back, you will build a large number of coastal defense forts according to your plan, but only build forts. not enough."
"I would also like to ask Mr. Chen to show me." General Wu Qiwei asked modestly.
"If the devils advance by land and water, once the coastal defense forts are captured, there will be gaps in our defense. Therefore, I suggest that ships should be sunk in narrow places on the river, and they must be connected by iron chains. This can be regarded as organizing the devil's ships to go upstream The second thread."
"Of course, the so-called best defense is offense. While your river defense troops are actively defending, you can also actively attack the devil's bases along the river, so that you can consume the devil's strength and control the initiative on the battlefield. "
"What Chief Chen said is that when I go back, I will definitely ask the staff office to formulate a practical and feasible combat plan." General Wu Qiwei immediately agreed.
While agreeing, General Wu Qiwei also expressed his own difficulties: "Mr. Chen, to be honest, our Jiangfang Army suffered serious losses after several battles, and there was a serious shortage of weapons and soldiers. Now the devils have heavy troops in various bases. Garrison, and take the initiative to provoke the devils based on the current situation of our army, I am worried that killing one thousand enemies will lose eight hundred, and the gain is not worth the loss."
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Cheng stared at General Wu Qiwei and asked curiously.
"Now that we've talked about this, I won't hide it from Chief Chen. I implore Chief Chen to dispatch a batch of weapons, ammunition and supplementary troops to our Jiang Fang Army." General Wu Qiwei gritted his teeth and said.
After hearing Wu Qiwei's words, Commander Chen Cheng stood up solemnly, walked slowly to the window, pondered for a while, then turned his head and said, "I can allocate a batch of weapons and ammunition to you, but it may be a bit difficult to replenish the soldiers at present." Difficulties, as you know, many troops have suffered more losses than your Jiangfang Army."
After a bloody battle, many troops were almost wiped out, and a large area of the country fell. Now the main source of the Chinese army relies on the southwestern provinces. It can be said that the source of troops is almost exhausted.
In this battle, the 18th Division of the 18th Army under his command was almost wiped out, and he was waiting to replenish his troops. Now that there are too many monks, he can only give priority to replenishing those direct troops and troops that have suffered heavy losses.
After General Wu Qiwei heard this, a look of disappointment flashed across his face. Their division originally belonged to the Ninth War Zone, but now they were assigned to the Sixth War Zone, and they immediately became the stepmother. He naturally knew that Chief Chen had selfish intentions. He will give priority to replenishing his direct troops.
"Of course, when there are enough supplementary soldiers, I will supply them to your Jiangfang Army as soon as possible."
He was not very happy to see General Wu Qiwei, and the newly appointed Chen Cheng didn't want to offend them, after all, he had to rely on them to defend against the devils.
"Then thank you, Chief Chen." Although he was dissatisfied, General Wu Qiwei expressed his gratitude.
"Don't worry too much. When the time comes, you will be short of troops. When you launch an active attack on the devils, I will send elite troops to support you, such as Yang Ling's Lie Yan Special Forces Brigade."
"Yangling Lieyan special combat brigade?"
A bright light flashed in General Wu Qiwei's eyes. If Lie Yan Special Forces could really assist them, it would really be a great help to their Jiang Fang Army.
Because the Raging Flame Special Operations Brigade is already well-known, and Yang Ling, the commander of the Raging Flame Special Operations Brigade, has a relationship with them.
When General Liu Xing was the commander of the Jiangfang Army, Yang Ling had fought side by side with the Jiangfang Army in the Jiangyin battle to defend Jiangyin.
Later, during the Battle of Wanjialing, he was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and Yang Ling was the colonel commander of the 74th Army, and he had fought on the same battlefield. Although he had never met Yang Ling, he knew Yang Ling's name But it was like thunder.
