The 11th Division had to be rescued by reason, but now Zhou Wu has no mobile forces at hand, so he is really powerless.
Zhou Wu was silent on the phone for a while, and the old army commander seemed to know what he was worried about, and said: "Zhou Wu, I know that you don't have any mobile troops at hand, otherwise, I will give you my guard battalion, plus some staff documents from the military department, you should be able to gather five or six hundred people." ” "In addition, I will draw two more battalions from the other two divisions, under the command of the unified you, and you don't have to take care of the logistics support, even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will definitely meet your requirements."
"Commander, I don't want the guard battalion, just give me those two battalions, and I'll think of a way."
Zhou Wu heard that the old army commander was going to send out the guard battalion and the staff documents of the military headquarters, and his heart was bitter.
He can't ask for the guard battalion, without the guard battalion, who will be responsible for the safety of the old army commander The old army commander said: "Zhou Wu, our 79th Army still has a few British-made light tanks, which were replaced by Mr.
Song for German-style equipment in the past, and they have never been used, you can come and see, if it works, you can even take people and cars away, so you can block the bullets of the devil." ” And tanks Zhou Wu felt a little comforted in his heart, something is better than nothing, and he said on the phone that he would go over and have a look immediately.
Putting down the phone, Zhou Wu immediately took Ding Ning and several brigade staff officers to the military headquarters in a car.
As soon as he arrived at the military headquarters, Zhou Wu was about to go to see the tanks, and the army commander sent a staff officer to take him to the munitions warehouse to see the tanks, and called Mr.
Song, asking him to send a few tank drivers nearby, double the salary, temporarily under the command of the independent brigade, and return it immediately after the event to ensure the safety of his life.
Under the leadership of the staff of the military department, Zhou Wu and the others came to a munitions warehouse, and as the heavy warehouse door opened, he saw four small pocket tanks.
Zhou Wu usually has a lot of research on weapons, and he had read some books on tanks before the war, and when he looked at the contents of the warehouse, his heart suddenly cooled for most of the time.
These four tanks are not tanks at all, they are actually light combat vehicles, made in the UK, with two crews, and they are very light, only one and a half tons, which is a little heavier than the trucks in the transport company of the separate brigade.
It is better than a truck in that it is fully tracked, has good off-road performance, can be brought to and from the Luodian water network freely, and can also run in rivers and ponds.
This tank has a 79 mm heavy machine gun on top of it, and a thin layer of iron is wrapped around it, which is better than nothing, but it is more than enough to deal with the devil infantry who are not equipped with armor-piercing shells.
Especially at night, if used well, these four pocket tanks can be used as four heavy machine gun squads.
Moreover, it runs fast, and it can give full play to its amphibious advantages in Luodian.
Although these British light chariots were relatively small and exquisite, they were still very tempting for Zhou Wu, who needed quick fire support.
Zhou Wu immediately asked for these four pocket tanks, and he asked the army commander when the tank soldiers would arrive, and the army commander replied that they would arrive immediately, and let them go directly to the independent brigade headquarters when they arrived.
After rushing back to the headquarters of the Independent Brigade non-stop, Zhou Wu found that the two battalions promised to him by the army commander were in place, and he immediately got to know the two battalion commanders, one surnamed Jiang and the other surnamed Lu.
The two battalion commanders had admired Zhou Wu for a long time, holding his hand and talking non-stop, Zhou Wu patiently listened to them and asked, "How many people are there in your two battalions?"
"Report to the brigade commander, my battalion is a reinforced battalion, a total of eight hundred people."
Battalion Commander Jiang reported.
"My battalion has fewer people, six hundred."
Battalion Commander Lu said.
Zhou Wu knew that the Lu battalion was an ordinary battalion, and the number of people naturally could not be compared with the commander of the Jiang battalion.
"Okay, I'll have four small tanks to arrive later, and when they arrive, let's discuss the night's actions, what do you think" Zhou Wu considered that they were all borrowed by the army commander, so he spoke more politely.
"The brigade seat is polite, the military commander transferred us here to look up to us, you are welcome, even if you call, we are your subordinates now, and we all know the rules in the army."
Obviously, the two battalion commanders are old Jianghu, and they immediately heard the politeness in Zhou Wu's words.
"Since the two of you said so, then I, Zhou, might as well be respectful, Secretary General, today the brigade headquarters has dinner early, and when the tank soldiers come, we will set off after eating a good meal."
Zhou Wu couldn't worry about the fat man, and shook a phone call to the front, and the fat man reported that the devil had not launched a new attack since the last attack was frustrated.
The fat man was also wondering why the devil didn't attack anymore At this time, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was drizzling in the sky, and the rain was likely to increase.
After listening to the fat man's report, Zhou Wu was even more firm in his judgment, the devil must have thrown his troops to the Eastern Front.
They specially set aside a reinforcement force, which is why the devils gave up the attack after attacking the position on the western front of Luodian only twice, and they wanted to keep the combat troops to ambush the independent brigade on the way to rescue the 11th Division.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu formed a plan in his heart, but it was still very immature, just an outline, and when those tank soldiers arrived, he would analyze the specific problems in detail, or consult with Ding Ning.
After about an hour, the tank corpsmen borrowed by the army commander drove two pocket tanks to the independent brigade, and Zhou Wu immediately went over to greet them.
Coincidentally, their tank company commander turned out to be Zhou Wu's fellow countryman, as the so-called fellow saw the fellow, with tears in his eyes, and after the two talked about it, their feelings increased a lot.
Zhou Wu asked the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to shake the phone to find Ge Sanmin and Wang Ding, and the fat man had to let him stay on the position.
Although at this time, the drizzle continued, and the days on the position were not easy, but it was much better than the attack of the devils in the morning, and besides, this guy had a way to deal with the rainy day.
Soon, Ge Sanmin and Wang Ding came to the brigade headquarters, and when they saw that Zhou Wu was in a hurry on the phone, they got two horses from nowhere and hurried over on fast horses.
When Zhou Wu saw that everyone had arrived, he briefly talked about the battlefield situation and the army commander's requirements for the independent brigade.
In fact, except for Ge Sanmin and Wang Ding, who didn't understand the situation, the others knew what to do before they came.
Zhou Wu discussed with Ding Ning just now, and Ding Ning agreed to the plan of action for the evening.
The two reached an agreement, and Ding Ning took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, everyone knows the situation of the 11th Division east of Luodian, so I won't say more."
Now the army commander ordered us to save the 11th Division, and the little devil was waiting for reinforcements from the encirclement point halfway.
Everyone brainstormed and talked about how to save the 11th division without being eaten by the devils. ” Zhou Wu waited for the officers below to speak, but after waiting for a long time and no one said anything, he stood up and said: "Everyone, the 11th Division is the old unit of our 79th Army, it is the commander's life's work, and it is also the predecessor of our independent brigade, we can't watch the old army being annihilated by devils." ” "The army commander asked me to support the 11th Division, and even transferred the guard battalion to me, I don't want to push it off, such a large military department, now there is only one guard battalion left, how can we who are subordinates not feel ashamed" "Everyone can speak freely, say anything, in the Independent Brigade, you will not be guilty of your words."

Zhou Wu went straight to the point and didn't beat around the corner.
"Brigade seat, I think that in order to smash the devil's conspiracy, we must concentrate superior forces to attack the devils besieging the 11th Division, and use a suspicious soldier as a bait to lure out the devil's reinforcements, only in this way can the situation be broken."
Ge Sanmin who spoke.
Zhou Wu nodded at Ge Sanmin, in fact, he and Ding Ning also thought the same, but the most important point of this move was who would take the bait task It is extremely dangerous to be a bait, and if you don't get it right, there are no bones left, and there is no return.
Zhou Wu has always been reluctant to name who to carry out this task, the so-called suspicious soldiers are actually similar to death squads, and the chance of survival is very small.
Ge Sanmin saw that although Zhou Wu agreed with his idea, he was silent, and immediately figured out the key point, only to see him stand up and say: "Luza, as long as you can trust me, I am willing to be a bait." ” Ge Sanmin did not hesitate when he said this, and he had the courage to regard death as home.
Zhou Wu was very embarrassed, since the death of Li Li, the commander of the third regiment, there are fewer and fewer officers in the independent brigade who can take on great responsibilities.
Ge Sanmin is a good hand at fighting, and he can use his brains better than a fat man, and he has a good temper, he is a rare talent, he is really a little reluctant.
But in this situation, Zhou Wu has no choice at all, and there is no time to waste, he thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said to Ge Sanmin: "Old Ge, you know, the possibility of surviving this time is very small, in times of crisis, you can come forward, I, Zhou Wu, on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade, salute you."
After speaking, Zhou Wu stepped forward and turned to Ge Sanmin and saluted him with a standard military salute, and the other officers followed Zhou Wu and stood up and saluted one after another.
Ge Sanmin hurriedly returned the salute and said: "You are serious, I originally put pen to paper, and my only wish was to kill the enemy and resist insults, and being able to shroud in horse leather is the highest honor of a soldier, besides, maybe my Ge Sanmin has a big life and can't die." ” t1706231537:
