The past two days have been rainy and rainy, and Zhou Wu's mood is as bad as this ghost weather, he can't sleep well for two consecutive nights, often has nightmares, and can't lift his energy during the day.
Entering Shanghai in November, the cold weather made Zhou Wu's old problem asthma recur, and he almost couldn't catch his breath, but fortunately, Xiuying sent the medicine, he increased the dose and took a few more pills, only to feel chest tightness and panting.
Zhou Wu was so sweaty from asthma that he was sore, and he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, Ding Ning was distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly called Shen Lina to take a look.
Shen Lina saw that it was diagnosed as a tracheitis attack, and prescribed some Western medicine, asking Zhou Wu to take it on time and never catch a cold.
Zhou Wu followed the doctor's instructions and quickly took a few Western medicines, not to mention that they were effective immediately.
He was an idle man, and his health improved slightly, so he took the brigade staff officer to go around.
Looking down, the mood of the fighters was much better, and nothing major happened.
However, the fluctuations in the troops in other places were not small, and some even deserted a lot, and for a time rumors spread everywhere, and the people were panicked, and the whole Shanghai was filled with a pessimistic mood that the national army was about to be defeated.
In this way, Zhou Wu and his independent brigade spent three days uneasily in this gloomy atmosphere.
The time came to November 5, 1937, on this day Zhou Wu went to bed very early, unlike the previous days, tonight he slept very peacefully, very sweet, and when he woke up, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Wu couldn't sleep, lying on the bed thinking about his wife and children at home, since the last time he came to the family, he had no news from home, and he didn't know what was going on now.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and his father's old illness doesn't know how he's recovered, Xiuying has to work during the day, and he has to take Xiaoshunzi, and he doesn't know how his body is I hope they are all healthy, Zhou Wu suddenly had a very strong desire, he wanted to take time to go back to Nanjing, but when he thought of the current situation on the battlefield, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
Zhou Wu sat up, groped and took out a cigarette, and just as he lit it, he suddenly remembered his wife Xiuying's advice, his tracheitis had just improved a little, why did he smoke again Zhou Wu had no choice but to put the cigarette in his mouth and get over it.
At this moment, a strong tremor hit, and the electric lights inside the brigade headquarters flickered on and off a few times, and then Zhou Wu heard a rumbling explosion.
"Oh no, the devils attacked" Years of experience told Zhou Wu that this time the little devil definitely launched a general attack, the previous attacks were just a temptation, the wolf came and shouted several times, this time the evil wolf really came.
Zhou Wu didn't even wear a coat, nervously jumped off the marching bed, opened his throat and shouted to the staff officers who were still stunned: "Quick, immediately contact the regiments on the front line." ” The staff officers of the brigade headquarters desperately shook the telephone to contact the front line, and suddenly all kinds of shouts, the footsteps of personnel entering and leaving, and the rumbling shelling of devils in the distance became one.
The staff officer shook the phone for a long time, but he couldn't get through to the front line, Zhou Wu suddenly became anxious, and immediately pulled out a few people from the guards and rushed to the various positions on the front line as quickly as possible.
In order to go back quickly, Zhou Wu called his fellow countryman Cheng Guoping and asked him to send 2 chariots with these communication soldiers to the front line as quickly as possible, especially the fat man, and told him to resist the first wave of attacks from the little devils.
After Lao Cheng received the order, he immediately drove two chariots, and several brothers from the guard platoon jumped on the chariots and roared away.
Zhou Wu looked at the rumbling sound of artillery bombardment in the distance and the gunpowder smoke rushing into the sky, and he asked the staff officers of the brigade headquarters to use the radio to call the forward positions, but no matter how they called, there was no response.
Zhou Wu was so anxious that he kept walking around the brigade headquarters with his hands behind his back.
At this time, Ding Ning ran in, and as soon as he entered the brigade headquarters, he asked: "Brigade seat, is it a large-scale attack by devils?"
"I don't know the specific situation now, but looking at this posture, it should be, what I'm anxious about is that none of the front-line positions can be contacted, and the brigade headquarters is now blind and deaf."
"Brigade seat, don't worry, the devils must be carrying out carpet bombing first, it is estimated that they have already received reinforcements, and they are even landing from Hangzhou Bay, if this is the case, it will be troublesome."
Ding Ning was worried.
The devil's fierce shelling continued, and the strong vibration at that moment made Zhou Wu's heart tremble.
The combat map of the brigade headquarters was full of mud and dust, and Zhou Wu looked helpless, and he could only understand the situation on the front line after waiting for the devils to shell it at the brigade headquarters.
Now there is only one way to wait, and there is nothing else to do.
The shelling is still continuing, Zhou Wu looked at his watch, his mother's little devil is really ruthless, he has been bombarding continuously for half an hour, and he has no intention of stopping.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Zhou Wu thought that he couldn't wait any longer, a fat man was the most important, Ge Sanmin was injured and hospitalized, Deputy Zhang Tuan of the Second Regiment couldn't hold down the position, and the Third Regiment didn't have to worry, although Wang Ding was young, his ability to fight was not inferior to others.
Zhou Wu walked behind his back in the brigade headquarters for a while, and suddenly said to Ding Ning: "Lao Ding, you hurry up and go to the second regiment to take Lao Ge's position, I will go to the fat man's side, as long as these two positions are not lost, our independent brigade is not in danger, hurry over, the brigade headquarters now has two chariots, you and I each take one, rush over now." ” Ding Ning went to the second regiment without saying a word, Zhou Wu explained the situation to the staff officer on duty at the brigade headquarters, and then jumped into the chariot and rushed towards the fat man's position, he repeatedly urged the brother who drove the chariot to hurry up.
"Brigade, this is already the top speed, it can't be faster."
Zhou Wu was silent, so he had to sit honestly in his seat.
Cannonballs fell from time to time on the road of the chariot, and the brother who drove the chariot had good driving skills, and skillfully avoided the flying cannonballs.
Zhou Wu tried his best to control his physiological reaction, urging him to hurry up, and the chariot was like a crazy leopard, panting and howling on the road.
When they were about to reach the fat man's position, they met Lao Cheng, who told Zhou Wu that the shelling of the front position was too fierce, and people couldn't enter at all.
Zhou Wu saw that there was a thick smoke billowing in the sky above the position, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and people could not get close at all, and if they got too close, they would definitely die.
In desperation, Zhou Wu had to wait on the spot for the devil's shelling to stop.
After about ten minutes, the artillery fire finally stopped, and Zhou Wu was quite puzzled, where did this little devil get so many shells to bombard for so long.
Needless to say, the fat man's position must be miserable, and effective resistance must be organized before the little devil can charge, otherwise it will collapse completely.
After the shelling stopped, the three chariots hurriedly started to speed towards the fat man's position, Zhou Wu got out of the car and glanced at the position, and his heart suddenly cooled by half.
I saw that the trench, which was almost a meter deep, was almost filled with mud kicked up by the shells, and there was not a single living thing on the ground.
Zhou Wu sighed in his heart, could it be that the fat man hung up, no, this guy hung up like this didn't have time to think about it, Zhou Wu beckoned the brothers to get out of the car to dig people, and then a sharp-eyed shouted: "Brigade, look, someone is moving over there." ” Zhou Wu looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, someone was trying to arch up from the mound, he ran over, grabbed the brother's hand, pulled him out with all his might, and asked, "Brother, I am Zhou Wu, what about your regiment leader?"
This person's ears may have been deafened by the shell, and he couldn't hear what Zhou Wu was saying at all, with a blank look.
Zhou Wu was so anxious that he even said with a gesture, and this person understood a little.

"The regimental seat should be hiding in the anti-artillery hole, well, over there."
Zhou Wu looked back, and there were also people arching up in the direction that this person was pointing, it was not the fat man, but who was Zhou Wu hurriedly went over and took the fat man's hand, and pulled him out at once, just like pulling a turnip.
After the fat man came out, he scolded the little devil for being too fierce and almost suffocated him to death.
Zhou Wu told him not to talk so much nonsense, hurry up and dig people, if it is too late, it will really suffocate people.
Many brothers arched up on the position one after another, and Zhou Wu told them all to dig people up, and strive to enter the battle position before the devils attacked.
Everyone began to dig up people, and because the soil from the shells was very loose, it didn't take much effort to dig out most of the brothers.
It's just that a few people who have been buried for a long time, and those who have been buried deep have been suffocated alive.
Because the devils were about to come up, Zhou Wu hurriedly ordered them to shovel the soil quickly, clear the dirt in the trenches, and enter the battle position as soon as possible.
Zhou Wu left one chariot on the position to act as a radio station, and the other two chariots were ambushed in front of the position, camouflaged with mounds of earth, ready to give them a moment from the side when the little devils charged.
At the same time, Zhou Wu used the car radio to urgently call Zhang Ercheng of the howitzer battalion, asking him to prepare for the shelling and wait for the order to fire at the devil at any time.
Zhang Ercheng had already prepared for the artillery bombardment, and immediately said on the radio that he would reassure Zhou Wu that although the howitzer battalion had lost a lot of mortars in the previous battle, it should still be able to ensure the defense of the position on the west flank of Luodian. t1706231537:
