Zhou Wu and Ding Ning discussed for an afternoon, and by the time they had their eyebrows, the sky had already darkened.
At this time, Zhou Wu felt that he was really hungry, so he called the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to inform the chief of affairs and ask him to cook a few small dishes, and continue to discuss the battle plan while eating.
Soon, the hot meal was served, and Zhou Wu, Ding Ning, and a few staff officers crowded together in the small space of the brigade headquarters, and they made do with a meal, and finally deceived the rumbling stomach.
After eating, Zhou Wu pulled Ding Ning to discuss the battle plan for a while, until it was confirmed that there were no major problems, and then they dispersed to rest.
Because the worries had settled, Zhou Wu was in a good mood at night, and sent Ding Ning away, he felt a little tired, so he lay down on the marching bed.
This time, Zhou Wu slept very sweetly, and he didn't even have the nightmares he used to have.
Zhou Wu rarely had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning.
Opening his eyes, the strong sunlight shone into the fortifications, and the habit he had developed in the Luodian position for three months made Zhou Wu jump off the marching bed like a launch.
"What's wrong, are the devils attacking?"
Several staff officers from the brigade headquarters hurriedly came over and said, "Brigade seat, the devil didn't move at all last night.
We see that you haven't slept well these days, and today we can't bear to wake you up when we see that you are sleeping soundly. ” Zhou Wu subconsciously looked at his watch, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the brigade headquarters had to hold a memorial service for the fallen brothers, and the time was probably very tight, so he hurriedly found a can, and it was time for breakfast.
After eating, Zhou Wu wiped his mouth and ordered the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to call all the officers above the independent brigade company level and hold a memorial service at the brigade headquarters.
There was not much time, and all the officers above the company commander of the Independent Brigade arrived, among which Ding Ning's wife, Shen Lina, the commander of the Independent Brigade Health Company, also came to see off the fallen soldiers.
Under the leadership of Gao Xiangfa, Zhou Wu came to a place not far from the national defense fortifications, and saw a flat open space, densely lined with the remains of many fallen soldiers, all of whom were covered with white sheets.
This was done by Gao Xiangfa overnight with the brothers of the Fourth Regiment and the doctors and nurses of the health company, and he personally went into battle to work, tired all night, and his eyes were covered with bright red bloodshots.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Wu stepped forward a few steps, the corners of his mouth trembled and he couldn't say anything, so he had to pat Gao Xiangfa's shoulder with his hand.
Gao Xiangfa nodded to Zhou Wu, meaning that the place where the fallen soldiers were buried had arrived, and the brigade commander was invited to give a lecture.
Zhou Wu led a group of officers to silently walk around the remains of his brothers, and finally stopped.
Everyone took off their military hats, bowed their heads and mourned in silence for a few minutes, and then a group of soldiers with guns came over, lined up neatly, each holding his gun.
"All attention, raise your guns and prepare, fire your guns" Bang bang bang The loud gunshots resounded outside the city of Changshu, echoing in the endless rice fields for a long time, Zhou Wu sent these good men who sacrificed their lives for the country in the way of soldiers, wishing them a good journey on the way to heaven.
After the gunshot, Zhou Wu led everyone to put the remains of the brothers into the pit that had been dug one by one, and the corpses were neatly arranged, and then Zhou Wu shoveled a handful of soil with sappers to cover the bodies of these sacrificed soldiers.
The thick soil of the emperor buries the bones of the heroic spirits, and a mound that is not very high rises on the ground, looking at it from a distance, like a hill, it stands proudly outside the city of Changshu.
Zhou Wu found a relatively high place and said loudly to the officers who came to attend the memorial service: "Colleagues, everyone is here today to bid farewell to our good brothers.
They shed their last drop of blood for our troubled country, and they did their duty as soldiers on the battlefield against the invaders. ” "Although they are gone forever, their spirit is worth remembering for those of us who did not die on the battlefield.
Their unfinished mission is up to us as people to accomplish.
Brothers, what way can we comfort these comrades-in-arms under the Nine Springs?"
With the help of Ding Ning, Zhou Wu's morale-boosting speech on the spot became more and more skillful, and everyone's emotions were stirred up at once.
"Kill the devil and avenge the fallen brothers" The impassioned slogans resounded throughout the wilderness, and the slogans were higher and higher, deeply infecting everyone present.
Zhou Wu was also excited, and couldn't help shouting along with these slogans.
Suddenly, the scene of the memorial service turned into a speech denouncing the Japanese devils, and the officers were angry and murderous.
Zhou Wu took advantage of this time and said solemnly: "Brothers, originally Chief of Staff Ding and I wanted to wait for everyone to attend the memorial service before holding a military meeting.
Now I think this military conference is going to take place here.
Next, I would like to ask Chief of Staff Ding to tell us about the predicament that the Independent Brigade is currently facing. ” Zhou Wu saw that everyone's emotions were stirred, and felt that striking while the iron was hot at this time would definitely have a good effect, so he temporarily decided that the military meeting would be held at the memorial service.
Standing and talking here, the air is fresh, the vision is broad, and people's thinking is relatively flexible.
When Ding Ning heard Zhou Wu's arrangement, although it was a little abrupt, he could understand it.
After being stunned for a moment, Ding Ning strode forward, cleared his throat and began to speak seriously.
"Brothers of the Independent Brigade, although we retreated to Changshu in time and were stationed in the fortifications supervised by the Germans, the little devils have landed at the same time in Hangzhou Bay and the mouth of the Yangtze River in Taicang, forming a pincer encirclement of the national army on the Shanghai-Nanjing line."
"We can rely on strong fortifications to fight against the little devils, but this is not the best way, the devils who have air and sea supremacy, as long as they concentrate superior forces to attack any point of our fortifications, we will not be able to resist."
"Besides, the little devil still has strong land support firepower, and the number of cannons is more than ours.
So today, I and the brigade are calling everyone to come here, just to brainstorm, and everyone should think of a way to kill as many devils as possible in Changshu, and at the same time defend this national defense fortification. ” Ding Ning first talked about the general situation in the battle, and finally asked everyone to discuss and discuss how to hold the position and eliminate the devils.
After listening to Ding Ning's words, the officers below exchanged heads and talked about each other.
The atmosphere was very good, but they discussed for a long time, but no one was willing to stand up and express their opinions.
In the end, Zhou Wu was anxious, if the discussion continued like this, he would not be able to get a result until tomorrow.
Zhou Wu waved his hand to signal quiet, and then he named the fat man's name: "Liu Xiaolei, tell me what to do." ” The fat man obviously didn't expect Zhou Wu to be the first to call his name, and he was at a loss for a while, and he hesitated for a while.
"Brigade, I don't really have any ideas, I just think that we have fewer people, I think it is difficult to hold the fortifications here with these 5,000 or so troops alone.

Brigade, if you and the commander ask some people to come over, if we have someone, it will be easy to do. ” In the end, the fat man was an officer who was fighting on the front line, and he looked at the problem with a very vicious eye, and he immediately grasped the crux of the independent brigade.
But this kid sees the problem, but there is no way to solve it.
What else did he say to let Zhou Wu ask for someone from the military department, his fat head didn't think about it, if Zhou Wu could get someone with the military commander, would he still need to have a meeting here After listening to the fat man's speech, Zhou Wu nodded and said: "Brothers, Commander Liu is right, the biggest problem of our independent brigade at present is not food, not weapons and ammunition, not morale and military morale, but we only have 5,000 people now, which also includes logistics, health, communications, clerks and other non-combatants. ” In this way, it is estimated that the brothers who can really fight with guns are only 4,000 people, and this number of troops is not enough to hold the fortifications of Changshu.
If the devils had concentrated the forces of two wings and attacked us a little under the cover of planes, artillery, and tanks, I don't think we would have been able to withstand such an attack. ” "And as long as one point is broken by the devils, our defense will be very passive, and if we don't get it right, we will have to wipe out the whole army."
Zhou Wu said with a solemn face.
After listening to Zhou Wu's words, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent all of a sudden, and Ding Ning was afraid of being cold, so he hurriedly called Wang Ding's name and asked him to express his opinion.
Wang Ding saw that Ding Ning asked him by name to express his opinion, so he said unceremoniously: "Brigade, I have a way to deal with the personnel of our independent brigade, I don't know if it is feasible or not."
Zhou Wu heard that Wang Ding had a move, and immediately asked: "Wang Ding, tell me, what tricks do you have?"
"Brigade seat, there are so many soldiers of the national army who have retreated from Shanghai, can we recruit them, and then simply train them to enrich the strength of our independent brigade."
As soon as the words fell, the fat man's head shook like a rattle, and he said in a loud voice: "No, no, these soldiers who have retreated have long lost their fighting spirit, and if they can be absorbed, they will not desperately flee to the back." ” "I said Wang Ding, it's not that you haven't seen the virtues of those deserters, if it wasn't for the brigade seat and the chief of staff to stop me last time, I would have already swooped out those deserters who ran past our position."
The fat man didn't believe that these retreating deserters still had the courage to fight again.
The scene was silent again, and the emotions that everyone had just been aroused suddenly dropped to the freezing point, is there really no other way t1706231537:
