"An hour ago, we met this group of people, and I didn't pay much attention to them at the time, thinking that they speak Chinese so fluently, there should be no problem, but I didn't expect them to be little devils, Chief of Staff, how did you see through" Gao Xiangfa's face was full of doubts, he really couldn't understand how Ding Ning could see through the devil disguised as the 18th Division.
Ding Ning smiled: "At first, I didn't think they were devils, but later, I saw a flaw in the way they spoke, although they all covered it up well, they couldn't hide it from my eyes." ” "I have lived in Japan for many years and have a good understanding of the Japanese people's habits, and although these devils have made deliberate changes, it is impossible to change all the habits that have been cultivated for decades, which is the main reason for my suspicions."
Gao Xiangfa listened, and suddenly his admiration for Ding Ning increased a few points, it is still good to be educated.
If those devils just now hadn't seen that there were many of them, it was not easy to start, maybe he would have suffered a big loss now, it was Gao Xiangfa, it was really a shame, he had led the troops to fight for so many years, and the little devil was standing in front of him, and he didn't know it at all.
Ding Ning ordered Lao Niu to quickly organize the team and prepare to go.
Gao Xiangfa saw that several young female nurses in the health company still had a frightened look on their faces after the scuffle just now, and immediately decided to divide the four regiments into two parts and place them in the front and back of the team.
In addition, the person who asked Lao Niu to walk at the back and take on the guard duty, which should prevent the recurrence of the situation just now.
At this time, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were still two-thirds of the way from Jiangyin, Ding Ning estimated that he could only walk half of this night, if the weather was bad tomorrow, he could continue to move forward, in case the weather was fine, as soon as the devil's reconnaissance planes and bombers were dispatched, it would be difficult to go, and he had to find a place to hide first.
Ding Ning asked someone to bring the map, and he took a closer look at it, and there was only one place called Caohe Town between Changshu and Jiangyin where so many troops could be hidden.
The rest of the place was either a plain or an endless stretch of rice paddies and ponds, and there was no way to garrison troops on a large scale.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning discussed with Gao Xiangfa and decided to send a reconnaissance detachment of forty or fifty people first, led by Niu Baoguo to Caohe Town to find out the situation.
Although it is still a national control area, at this time, the eyes and ears of the devil and all kinds of traitors will definitely not be missing, and we must first go to investigate and investigate, and then make plans.
Ding Ning gave this task to Lao Niu, and repeatedly told him to be polite to the people when he got there, and he must not do anything that harms the interests of the people, otherwise the military law will do it.
Lao Niu immediately received the order, he carefully selected more than forty brothers, and rushed towards Caohe Town.
Ding Ning looked at the back of Lao Niu leaving, a trace of helplessness and bitter smile flashed on his face, in his own territory, in his own defense area, he still has to guard against the pervasive Japanese spies and those dog traitors who betrayed their ancestors, it is really ironic.
Seeing Ding Ning shaking his head incessantly, Gao Xiang asked him what was wrong, Ding Ning sighed: "Old Gao, I'm worried that as soon as we entered Caohe Town, the devil's plane will come to bomb it. ” "It's nothing for us soldiers to meet planes, if it affects the people of Caohe Town, this sin will be great."
Ding Ning was worried that their whereabouts in Caohe Town would be known by the devils, and it would be the ordinary people who had lived there for generations.
Hearing this, Gao Xiangfa followed and scolded those dog traitors: "Chief of Staff, since you said that it will affect the people, it is better for us not to enter the town, and the brothers can hide in the wild." ” "The little devil's plane can't keep wandering in the sky all the time, we can find a place to hide when they come, and when the plane leaves, we can come out and rush again."
After listening to Gao Xiangfa's suggestion, Ding Ning felt that this method was feasible: "In this way, let's wait for Lao Niu to come back from reconnaissance, now the troops are advancing at a normal speed, pay attention to vigilance." ” At the same time, the fat man had already placed explosives and grenades in the warehouse in the fortifications and next to the four Krupp cannons.
Zhou Wu looked at the time and estimated that the second regiment should start to retreat to Jiangyin, so he ordered the fat man to prepare to detonate the explosives buried in the warehouse and the cannon.
After receiving the order, the fat man immediately detonated the explosives, only to hear a loud bang, and the long barrel of the Krupp cannon shattered into countless pieces in an instant, and rushed into the dark night sky.
Immediately afterward, several boxes of grenades placed by the fat man exploded, rising with a burst of dazzling flames and smoke, and at the same time, the explosives next to the other three cannons also exploded one after another.
Several cannons were blown apart in an instant, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Because the fat man placed a lot of explosives, the force of the explosion even burst the cement base on the gun emplacement, and the cracks of different depths were shocking.
Subsequently, the fat man commanded his subordinates to detonate the explosives in the combat readiness warehouse, and the heat and air waves generated by the explosion of the explosives caused the ammunition in the warehouse to detonate in a series of cases, and the flames that rose into the sky were dozens of meters high, and the smoke drifted over the defense fortifications and could not be dispersed for a long time.
Zhou Wu listened to the continuous explosions coming from the warehouse, and his heart was like a knife, how good it would be if all these ammunition and materials could be taken away, but unfortunately now he can only watch them be blown up.
There was not much time, and the fat man ran over and said, "Report to the brigade, the detonation mission has been completed, please instruct." ” Zhou Wu looked helplessly at the skyrocketing fire in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "All pay attention, retreat to Jiangyin" Immediately, a team of more than 1,000 national troops began to march quickly towards Jiangyin, and deafening explosions continued to be heard in the firelight and smoke.
I had to leave again, and I withdrew from the bloody Luodian, and the Independent Brigade only held out in Changshu, a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, for four days.
Hold on, evacuate, hold on, evacuate again, I don't know how many times this cycle will be repeated before it is over.
At this time, Zhou Wu felt very uncomfortable, and stepped back step by step, he was getting closer and closer to his home, and at this moment, Zhou Wu began to feel pessimistic about the prospects of the war.
Originally, he also wanted to delay the Japanese attack through the defense fortifications from Changshu to Nanjing, but now it seems that this idea is really ridiculous.
The enemy's planes and naval guns on the Yangtze River bombarded in turn, so that the fortifications, known as the "Maginot Line of the East", could not hold out for long.
Due to the serious shortage of troops to hold the fortifications, many fortifications were occupied by the Japanese army without firing a single shot, and the little devils instead used the cannons in the fortifications to fire at the retreating national army, which led to the line from Changshu to Jiangyin, full of fleeing national soldiers.
Zhou Wu was suddenly a little worried about Ding Ning, and he didn't know what was going on with them now. t1706231537:
