Sheng Pei stood up and said solemnly: "Brothers, the hometown of our 67th Army is on the Songhua River in the distant White Mountain and Black Water.
It was occupied by little devils, and we couldn't go back, and the other national army units refused to take us in. ” "Only Brigade Commander Zhou of the Independent Brigade treats us like relatives, brothers, we Northeast men know how to repay us.
I decided to stay and join Brigadier Zhou, do you have any opinions?"
"Now those who are willing to join the independent brigade with me stand on the left.
Those who are unwilling to continue to fight and kill devils will not be reluctant.
I have already borrowed the passage money from Brigade Commander Zhou and asked the brothers to go back and go their separate ways. ” "Okay, don't talk nonsense, don't want to follow me, stand on the right" As soon as the words fell, a group of people stood on the left, and only a few chose to stand on the right.
Seeing this, Zhou Wu immediately said: "Head Sheng, brothers come and go freely, we must respect everyone's choice."
For those who are willing to stay with you, I suggest that the original number remain unchanged and be changed to the 396th Regiment of the Independent Brigade, or you will be the commander. ” "As for the brothers who are unwilling to stay, we will not force them, let alone embarrass them.
In view of the poor health of these soldiers, I would like to have them examined and treated by our independent brigade medical company, and after resting here for a few days, they will be given 20 yuan per person as travel expenses.
Head Sheng, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Sheng Pei was still thinking about how to borrow some money from Zhou Wu just now, and when he heard this, he was naturally very happy, and he immediately agreed: "The brigade is really thoughtful, this is great, I am very satisfied." ” At this time, about two dozen people standing on the right were shaken, they didn't expect that Zhou Wu would treat themselves so favorably, not only to give them examination and treatment, but also to give each person twenty yuan as travel expenses.
Nowadays, in the national army, how can there be such a good commander, even with a lantern, he can't find it.
In other troops, it's not bad if you don't deduct your salary.
The most important thing is that the Northeast has long fallen under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, and it is impossible for them to return to their hometown, so what can they do if they go to other places, it is better to join the independent brigade and kill the devils.
After a while, more than two dozen people standing on the right also ran to the left one after another.
Sheng Pei saw this scene and said heartily: "Okay, I really deserve to be a man in our Northeast, brothers rest assured, as long as I Sheng Pei is here, I will never let everyone suffer." ” "Brigadier Zhou has announced just now, we are still called the 396th Regiment, the staffing remains the same, and our brothers are still together."
In this way, all those who followed Sheng Pei agreed to join the Independent Brigade.
Zhou Wu was very happy and said, "Brothers of the 396 regiment, from now on, we will be a family.
After everyone has eaten a good meal, they will be taken by Commander Gao to the health company to check their bodies, treat those who are sick, and rest if they are not sick. ” After speaking, Zhou Wu asked Ding Ning to quickly call the health company and ask Shen Lina to prepare to pick up people.
At the same time, he also expressed his apologies in his heart, and asked the sisters of the health company to work hard.
Ding Ning agreed and went to do something.
There was not much time, Zhou Wu and Gao Xiangfa mingled with the brothers of the 396 regiment, everyone toasted back and forth, and Zhou Wu, who was not very good, was drunk.
In the end, Gao Xiangfa sent two brothers to get a truck to send Zhou Wu to the headquarters of the Independent Brigade, and put him on the broken marching bed, where he fell asleep.
Zhou Wu slept very soundly this night, and woke up in a daze in the evening, he drank too much soju at noon, and his head still hurts.
Looking at the time, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Wu didn't want to have dinner, and was going to go outside to blow the wind and breathe in the fresh air.
At this time, Ding Ning hurried towards the brigade headquarters, he saw Zhou Wu driving outside, and said solemnly: "Brigade seat, there is the latest enemy situation report, let's go to the brigade headquarters to talk." ” When Zhou Wu saw Ding Ning's serious face, he knew that something must have happened, so without saying a word, he immediately entered the brigade headquarters with him.
Ding Ning looked very tired, probably running too quickly on the road, he poured a bowl of water without saying anything, and drank it in one go.
After drinking, Ding Ning said, "Brigade, the situation is a little bad.
According to reliable information, the Japanese army has swooped down on our side from the two directions of Shanghai and Taicang, and it is estimated that there are two fully equipped divisions and tens of thousands of people, which is several times more than the existing strength of our 79th Army. ” "The military headquarters asked our independent brigade to be ready for battle, and the army commander ordered us to hold out in Changshu for seven days and try to delay the offensive of these two Japanese divisions.
Buy time for those Nationalist troops who did not have time to withdraw from Shanghai.
The commander said that except for the personnel, all other logistics supplies would be sent to us immediately. ” After listening to Ding Ning's report, Zhou Wu's head "buzzed", and he opened his eyes wide and said: "Old Ding, our independent brigade has only about 5,000 people, but we have to face two elite divisions of the Japanese army.
I don't know what the army commander thinks, isn't this sending our independent brigade to the tiger's mouth, I have to talk to the army commander. ” Zhou Wu was in a hurry, and he was going to find the old army commander to theorize.
Ding Ning stopped in front of Zhou Wu and said, "Brigade seat, you don't have to go to the army commander, the army commander has no choice."
If you calm down and think about it, the 79th Army now has a total of less than 12,000 people, in addition to the 5,000 people of our independent brigade to defend the front fortifications, there are also about 7,000 people to guard the east and west flanks of Changshu. ” "In this way, there are only 3,500 men in each direction, and it is impossible for this amount of troops to hold the position, so the army commander really can't spare people to support us."
Zhou Wu's feverish head was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, he calmed down, sat on the stool, took out a cigarette from his pocket and smoked it, one after another, and the smoke was full of smoke.
After smoking for a while, Zhou Wu suddenly stood up, snuffed out the cigarette butt, picked up the phone and dialed the military headquarters: "Hey, I'm Zhou Wu, the commander of the Independent Brigade, I'm looking for the army commander." ” Soon, an old and tired voice came from the microphone, it seemed that the old army commander had not slept for several days and nights, Zhou Wu couldn't help but chuckle, and the incomprehension, resentment, and complaints in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Junzao, I'm Zhou Wu, you have to take care of your body these days, you can't worry too much, I'll go to the military headquarters to see you when I have time."
"Zhou Wu, you called, not just to greet me, you don't come to the military headquarters to see me, guarding the defense fortifications in Changshu is the greatest comfort to me.
I know you have too few men to hold out for seven days, but I really don't have anyone to use. ” "I heard Chief of Staff Ding say that you have newly incorporated the remnants of the 67th Army, this is a very good practice, and I fully support it.
As for the logistics and supplies, I will solve it, as long as you Zhou Wu have the ability to collect people, how much you collect, how many weapons, ammunition and supplies I will give you.
If the top is investigated, I will bear it, as long as you can hold on for seven days. ” The old army commander immediately guessed Zhou Wu's intention to call, and directly said the words in front of him, sealing Zhou Wu's mouth.
As soon as he heard the old army commander say this, Zhou Wu was embarrassed to ask him for someone again.
Now that even the military headquarters guard battalion has been sent to the city gate, is it possible that you want the old army commander to personally bring a few military staff officers to the fortifications to fight devils, that would be too unreasonable.
Putting down the phone, Zhou Wu turned his head and said: "Lao Ding, the military situation is urgent, and there is no time to delay, immediately notify the officers above the battalion commander of the independent brigade to come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, oh, invite Sheng Pei, the commander of the 396th regiment who has just been recruited, to also come." ” Ding Ning hurriedly instructed the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to call someone, and soon the officers at the battalion and regimental level immediately arrived at the brigade headquarters.
Zhou Wu saw that the people were almost here, so he got straight to the point and told everyone about the situation of the devils coming to attack.

After hearing this, the battalion commanders below began to talk about it.
Some said that they resolutely relied on the fortifications to fight a war of attrition with the devils, some said that they would shrink their forces, abandon the two flanks of the fortifications, and stick to the front, while others were silent.
The fat man and Wang Ding belonged to those silent ones.
Zhou Wu felt that the fat man was a little abnormal today, he was the first to speak in meetings before, what happened this time Zhou Wu, who was puzzled, asked: "Lao Liu, why don't you talk today, you can talk about it, how should we fight this battle?"
When the fat man heard Zhou Wu asking him to express his opinion by name, he showed a very embarrassed look on his face, and he hesitated for a long time, and said, "Travel, I can't think of any good way."
Our independent brigade now has a total of about 5,000 people, unless we take the initiative to attack before the devils attack, so that we may delay the pace of their attack. ” "Otherwise, even if we have strong defense fortifications to rely on, but with devil planes, artillery, tanks and absolute superior forces, we can't last seven days at all, I think it will last two or three days at most."
Although the fat man didn't like what he said, he analyzed it very well, and it seemed that he had grown a lot in the past few days. t1706231537:
