Zhou Wu returned to the brigade headquarters, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, there was no intention to stop, the four chariots borrowed by the army commander were still outside the brigade headquarters, although the chariots were pitted by the devils, but fortunately, the borrowed tank soldiers were fine.
Zhou Wu asked the army commander for instructions, and the army commander immediately said that the four small tanks would be allocated to the independent brigade, but the people must be returned.
Zhou Wu hurriedly said: "Army commander, why don't you tell Mr.
Song to let these tank soldiers stay in our independent brigade for a while, and I will select a few clever ones from the transport company and heavy machine gunners to learn from them, and if they can make do with it, I will let them go back immediately." ” The army commander was silent, Zhou Wu was right, just to give him a tank no one to drive it is not a pile of scrap iron, it is not even as good as the truck of the transport company, the truck can pull things.
"You can keep them for now, I'll talk over there."
"Thank you, Commander."
Zhou Wu was very happy.
In this way, at least within half a month, he will be able to chat with his fellow countryman Cheng Guoping, and this kind of affection is especially precious to Zhou Wu, who has lived and died several times.
Tossed for most of the night, Zhou Wu couldn't sleep, although the 11th Division was out of danger, but the commander didn't seem to have a little joy, from the phone call just now, Zhou Wu could feel the army commander's worried state of mind.
Could it be that the little devil was really like Ding Ning said, and the reinforcements landed from the direction of Jinshan in the south of Shanghai Under such harsh meteorological conditions, it is impossible for the Japanese army to venture out of Hangzhou Bay, which is not suitable for beach-rushing landings, and the Japanese army is crazy Zhou Wu couldn't figure it out, but thinking about it, drowsiness came up, and he habitually looked at his watch, it was already half past five in the morning.
Today is November 1, the 26th year of the Republic of China, and it is raining heavily outside, and it is pitch black, just like the 700,000 national troops currently in Shanghai, with a bleak future and darkness.
Zhou Wu slowly felt tired, rested his head on the pillow, fell asleep, and snored after a while.
At this time, the headquarters of the Independent Brigade appeared exceptionally quiet, and there was hardly any sound except for the ticking telegram.
About 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhou Wu, who was still sleeping sweetly, was awakened by a rapid phone ringing, and the brigade headquarters staff officer picked up the phone, and then the staff officer stood upright, turned back to Zhou Wu and said: "Brigade seat, army commander's phone." ” Zhou Wu picked up the phone and said, "Commander, I'm Zhou Wu." ” "Zhou Wu, I have good news for you, the chairman has ordered our 79th Army to retreat from Luodian to Taicang and Jiangyin, and your independent brigade is ready to prepare and start retreating tomorrow."
The army commander seemed very excited, and he had previously made suggestions to the chairman of the committee together with several generals who advocated abandoning Shanghai and putting the main forces of the Nationalist army on the "Hindenburg Line."
However, the chairman of the committee had great expectations for the mediation of the League of Nations, and was reluctant to withdraw the main force in Shanghai, and their proposal was later supported by Chief Bai.
After much deliberation, the chairman finally decided to abandon Shanghai and put the main force on the Hindenburg line.
The commander's proposal was approved, and his heart was naturally relieved.
This was the only viable option under the circumstances.
The 700,000 Nationalist troops were successively deployed in the Hindenburg defensive line of nearly 300 kilometers from Shanghai to Nanjing, and if the Japanese army wanted to capture Nanjing, it would inevitably be resisted by the 700,000 Nationalist troops.
The Japanese could not afford this price, and it was unthinkable that they would fight a protracted war of attrition with their national strength.
Zhou Wu was also quite happy to hear this news, and he felt more and more that the decision to send Lao Zhai to Jiangyin was so forward-looking, and in the strong fortifications of Hindenburg, it was definitely much better than the water network plain of Yima Pingchuan in Shanghai.
As long as the logistics can keep up, even if the devil's aircraft and artillery bombard every day, there is nothing they can do about those half-buried fortifications.
Every time they captured a bunker, they had to pay a heavier price than in Shanghai, and this was precisely the weak point of the little devils.
Zhou Wu immediately informed the following regiments by phone, asking them to prepare for retreat, the fat man received the order, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was annoyed by the non-stop heavy rain, although the devil on the opposite side couldn't come for a while, but the trench could simply raise fish.
The soldiers were so miserable by the big water that they were complaining, and some even said that it was better to fight with the devil happily, so as soon as the fat man received Zhou Wu's order to retreat, he immediately arranged the following battalions to cover alternately and retreat in an orderly manner.
Zhou Wu was very happy in his heart, and asked the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to quickly find Ding Ning, share it with him, and talk about how to use the fortifications to beat the little devils after retreating to the Jiangyin defense fortifications.
As a result, the staff officer went out for a long time, and Zhou Wu didn't see Ding Ning's figure, he thought to himself that people might be busy, maybe they would come later.
Until the end of lunch, Ding Ning and the staff officer still had no news.
Zhou Wu couldn't sit still for a moment, and just as he wanted to send another staff officer to see what was going on, Ding Ning came.
Ding Ning was not the only one who came, but also Captain Shen Lina, the person in charge of the brigade health company, Zhou Wugang wanted to say a few words about the staff officer who was not good at handling things, but Ding Ning spoke first: "Brigade seat, this brother is no wonder for this incident today, it is my reason, my reason." ” Zhou Wu suddenly saw Ding Ning and Shen Lina appear in the brigade headquarters together, and began to muttered in his heart, could it be that this dead old Ding had made a mistake in his brain and said something that should not be said, offending Miss Shen.
But looking at Shen Lina's expression, she didn't look angry.
Since she entered the brigade headquarters, she usually talks no matter who is big or small, but now she has been keeping her head down and fiddling with the corners of her military uniform Zhou Wu felt that something was wrong, this was a quarrel and an angry look, it could be that they were going to announce some major news Sure enough, Ding Ning hesitated for a long time and said, "Lvza, I, the two of us are getting married." ” Although Zhou Wu guessed some signs from Shen Lina's appearance, he was still very surprised when this matter came out of Ding Ning's mouth, and he couldn't help but let out an "ah".
"Luza, I proposed it first, and he agreed, and we felt that you were the most suitable for us to be the officiant, so I came with him to see you and asked you to be our officiant."
Xiao Nizi is worthy of being a new woman, speaking neatly and generously, unlike Ding Ning, who is hesitant and twisted.
"Okay, good, good, I have long urged Lao Ding to confess to you, our Lao Ding is good everywhere, this is not very bright."
Zhou Wu really couldn't find other words to describe Ding Ning, and finally figured out a more neutral word, like a cultural person.
"I will definitely be your officiant, there is no one more suitable than me in the Independent Brigade, Lao Ding, I am both his superior and his brother.
Captain Shen, Ling Zunyuan is in the Soviet Union, and now in the war period, let me be the leader of the unit as your elder. ” Today is really a double happiness, Zhou Wu don't mention how happy he is.
"Thank you for your help."
Ding Ning is very grateful to Zhou Wu, if it weren't for Zhou Wu's errands, he would still be a single person now, and now he will finally get off the list.
Zhou Wu instructed the secretary general of the brigade headquarters to set up eight or nine tables at the brigade headquarters this evening and invite all officers above the company level of the independent brigade to attend Lao Ding's wedding banquet.
At the same time, Zhou Wu also called the military headquarters with great interest to invite the old army commander to a banquet, but was unexpectedly told by the military department staff that the army commander had received an urgent notice to attend a military meeting at the theater headquarters.
Zhou Wu didn't think much about it, and called and invited a few familiar old comrades-in-arms of the 11th Division, and Yu Shiming and Chief of Staff Ming also invited, after all, everyone is an acquaintance, an old superior, and it's good to have fun together.
"Lvza, I'll just pay for the marriage myself."

Ding Ning thought that Zhou Wudu had helped so much, and he couldn't ask anyone to pay anymore.
Zhou Wu was anxious after hearing this, and said: "Lao Ding, what do you tell me to say that you are good, who is with whom we brothers, if you mention money to me again, I will be anxious with you." ” Ding Ning still wanted to say a few words, but was pulled by Shen Lina, who was standing next to him, and he immediately shut up.
Wu Ke is busy next week, in addition to calling people to the wedding banquet, considering the special situation in wartime, Ding Ning's wedding room has become a big problem.
However, Zhou Wu was worthy of being the brigade commander, and immediately ordered the engineer company to build a simple wooden house before 8 o'clock in the evening as the wedding room of Ding Ning and Shen Lina.
The engineer company commander dropped the phone, and without saying a word, he greeted his subordinates and became a construction worker.
After consulting Shen Lina's opinion, Zhou Wu sent someone to the health company to report the good news to Ge Sanmin, and asked someone to carry him and several other death squad members on a stretcher to drink Ding Ning's happy wine.
For a time, the Independent Brigade Brigade Department was full of lights and beaming, and Zhou Wu invited Lao Xu of the Quartermaster Department as the wedding emcee. t1706231537:
