Just as Zhou Wu and the others were desperately rushing to the contact point, there was a sudden gunshot in front, and Zhou Wu was nervous for a while, he was really afraid of something, and the little devils still surrounded him.
This place is flat, except for a few rice fields, there is not even a place to hide and hide, Zhou Wu discussed with Li Li, decided to defend on the spot, and then make plans.
Zhou Wu ordered everyone to lie on the ground and resist on the spot, but someone on the opposite side immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop fighting, we are an independent brigade, our own people, don't fight." ” Zhou Wu thought to himself why this voice was so familiar, and listened carefully, isn't this the voice of Chief of Staff Ding Ning Ding Ning is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and speaks Chinese with a strong Zhejiang accent, so Zhou Wu and those staff officers at the brigade headquarters often ridicule his Zhejiang accent on weekdays, and sometimes imitate saying a few words.
Zhou Wu immediately asked someone to stop shooting, and after a while, two figures ran over from the opposite side, and he saw that it was Ding Ning and Ge Sanmin.
Zhou Wu strode forward excitedly, shook Lao Ding's hand hard, and said happily: "Lao Ding, why are you here, this is still three or four miles away from the contact point we agreed on in advance."
"Hehe, report to the brigade, in fact, we have been waiting at the contact point for a long time, but Lao Ding has to insist on coming over, he said that the devil's army is encircling you, he is afraid that something will happen to you, I really don't worry, I just brought my brothers over."
Ge Sanmin said honestly.
Zhou Wu was moved after hearing this, he had doubted Ding Ning's identity before, thinking of this, he secretly blamed himself: "Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu, you are not a brother, how can there be such a military commander spy in the world." ” Zhou Wu had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't even know what to say, but he just held Ding Ning's hand and kept shaking.
Lao Ding was embarrassed to be shaken, and said: "Brigade seat, hurry up and let the brothers dig fortifications, the devil's army will arrive soon, we probably have less than two hundred people now, we should be able to resist for a while." ” Zhou Wu immediately came to his senses and ordered everyone to dig a pit on the spot, striving to dig a simple fortification where they could hide before the arrival of the big army of little devils.
It is said that it is a simple fortification, but in fact, everyone digs a small pit that can barely hide, and after giving the order, everyone picks up the sapper shovel and digs it.
This simple fortification was easy to dig, and after a while, everyone was almost done, and the two hundred brothers squatted in a pit, like a big radish in the ground.
As soon as the turnip pit was dug and before they had time to catch their breath, the brother who had been in charge of reconnaissance in front came back and reported that the large army of the little devils was only three or four hundred meters away from them.
Since they had an oolong encounter with Lao Ding, Zhou Wu asked the scouting brother to repeatedly confirm whether it was a little devil over there.
The soldier swore that he would never be mistaken, because the eight detachments of their operation together did not have as many people as that team.
After listening to his report, Zhou Wu couldn't help but shudder, the number of devils was five or six times more than them, plus the advantage of the Japanese army in weapons Zhou Wu had doubts about whether they could withstand the attack of the devils until reinforcements from the Independent Brigade arrived.
Fortunately, this is at night, and if it is during the day, it is a question whether they can withstand a strong attack by the devils.
The devils obviously discovered that there was a national army here, and without saying a word, they immediately used mortars and small steel cannons to bombard Zhou Wu and them indiscriminately.
Because it was dark and the line of sight was blocked, the devil could not accurately aim at Zhou Wu's position, so this burst of artillery fire almost did not hurt the brothers of the national army who were squatting in the radish pit.
The only effect was that the continuous artillery fire shook the ears of many people with blood.
After the shelling, the devils launched a massive charge, and the artillery fired many flares, illuminating the night sky as bright as day.
Zhou Wu ordered his subordinates not to fire now, and to wait for the devils to travel fifty or sixty meters before firing, and be sure to save ammunition and aim to fight.
Zhou Wu took into account that after the night attack, the brothers did not have many bullets, there was not a single cannon, and they were all lost on the road, and there were only a few Czech machine guns available, and there were not many bullets.
There are a lot of machine guns, but this thing has a short range and has little effect, and in terms of weapons and equipment, Zhou Wu is indeed a little stretched.
This time, the devils were different from the previous shouting and charging, they were all bent over and shrunk their heads, spreading out in formation, and advancing step by step.
Zhou Wu stared at the devil tightly, silently counting the devil's footsteps in his heart. 80 meters 60 meters 50 meters Zhou Wu shouted: "Call me" Suddenly, all kinds of light weapons opened fire at the same time, and the little devils who rushed to the front turned their horses on their backs, and some of them were directly beaten into a sieve, and their whole bodies were covered with holes and fell to the ground.
The rest of the devils who did not die quickly fell to the ground, raised their guns to shoot at the opposite side, and the devils' mortars and small steel cannons also fired at them frantically, and people were constantly killed by shells, and several brothers were directly blown out of the pit.
Zhou Wu was so anxious, if he continued to fight like this, he wouldn't need two waves of attacks, and his two hundred or so people would soon be dead.
"Brigade, you can't fight like this, we will definitely die if we go on like this, you take most of the people first, I take some brothers to break off, hurry, it's too late, if we continue to grind, none of us can run out" Ding Ning, who is usually polite, was also anxious at this time, his delicate face turned red, and he put on an unquestionable attitude.
"No, how can I let you break it, I have to come after you break it."
Zhou Wu's bullish temper came up.
"The brothers of the third regiment of the independent brigade left twenty to break with me, and the rest of the brothers protected the brigade seat and the chief of staff to break out of the encirclement, this is the order" Li Li, who had been silent, spoke, and Zhou Wu had agreed with him in advance that he would have full command of tonight's actions.
Zhou Wu wanted to reason with Li Li a few more words, but before the words could be spoken, the whole person was taken away by Li Li's two men.
These two brothers were so outrageous that they directly carried Zhou Wu and Ding Ning and left, and the rest of the retreating people followed closely.
Zhou Wu only heard Li Li shouting loudly: "Brothers, the machine gun cover has attracted the little devils to our side." ” Immediately afterward, he heard a burst of intense machine-gun fire and the overwhelming explosion of shells from devils.
He looked back and saw that the improvised position was in flames and smoke, and all the shells had been poured into the place by the frenzied little devils.
Seeing that the broken brother couldn't survive, Zhou Wu's eyes were full of tears.
What a good brother, he was blown up by the devil's cannonball, and his bones were gone.
Zhou Wu suddenly broke free from the shackles of those two people, and shouted: "Brothers, rush forward for me and avenge Commander Li." t1706231537:
