As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately discussed, some in favor of the fat man, and some against, each with its own views and reasons.
"Lao Ding, what do you think, say it and listen to it."
Zhou Wu asked with a smile.
"Brigade, where do I have any high opinions, if I have to talk about it, I think what the fat man said has a certain truth.
The troops on hand were already insufficient, and the 396th Regiment was finally replenished in Changshu, but after a toss, many brothers were lost, and now the total number of the entire brigade is less than 5,000. ” "With such a little strength, wanting to hold the fort and Huashan at the same time is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Since the scattered forces can't keep both ends, it's better to do your best to keep one.
Personally, I think the Huashan position is more important, and I suggest that we focus on this place. ” "The fourth regiment is the first defensive position, the first regiment is the second defensive position, and the second regiment is the third defensive position, and the reasonable allocation of firepower and the full use of artillery should prevent the Japanese army from attacking from the direction of the Yangtze River and Changshu."
After listening to Ding Ning's analysis, Zhou Wu nodded again and again: "Then who do you think we should keep?"
"Brigade seat, Lao Zhai and they are already very familiar here, and they have a good relationship with the people on the fort, even the four anti-aircraft guns in the Huashan position were borrowed by Lao Zhao, how can others have such a big face" "Therefore, I suggest that the special battalion continue to hold the fortifications on this side of the battery, in fact, the two positions are not too far away, and everyone can take care of each other."
"In addition, Lao Zhai Shou has another convenience here, that is, he can call the battery for fire support at any time, which is an advantage that the Huashan position does not have."
Zhou Wu adopted Ding Ning's deployment, leaving the special battalion to hold the fort position, and the rest of the troops all went to the Huashan position, and put the brigade headquarters in Huashan.
After the meeting, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and it was obvious that they would not be able to move to Huashan tonight.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning temporarily decided to make do with a night's rest in the special agent camp and leave early tomorrow morning.
Zhou Wugang wanted to lie down and rest, but when he saw that Ding Ning was also there, he said: "Old Ding, you hurry up and go to the health company to find Captain Shen, the two of you haven't gotten together since you got married, you have to seize the opportunity this time, once the battle starts, you won't have a chance." ” Ding Ning was embarrassed at first, and refused to go to his wife, but later Zhou Wu was anxious and wanted to send Zhao Lijin to lead someone to tie him up to the health company.
"Brigade, don't be like this, I'll go, can't I go" Ding Ning said helplessly.
"Well, it's good to go, Lao Ding, you see that you are not too young, you have to hurry up on that matter, we are still waiting to be an uncle."
Zhou Wu said while squeezing his eyebrows at Zhai Daping and them, at first Ding Ning didn't understand what Zhou Wu meant, but then he understood, and his white face suddenly turned red, like a big girl.
Before dawn the next day, Zhou Wu got up early, and after taking Ding Ning away last night, he just found a place to lie down and fell asleep.
After getting up, Zhou Wu saw that Zhai Daping had just woken up, and the two lowered their voices and talked for a while.
There wasn't much time, and everyone else got up one after another, looking quite in good spirits.
Zhou Wu and Zhai Daping ate something in the special agent camp, and then asked Zhao Lijin to go to the health company to call Ding Ning, and the troops were about to go to the Huashan position immediately.
As soon as Zhao Lijin wanted to go out, Ding Ning walked in, he saw Zhou Wu, and immediately asked, "Luzao, is it time for us to go." ” Zhou Wu originally wanted to joke with Ding Ning and ask him how it felt to reunite the little couple after a long absence last night, but then he thought about it, when is it now, and where is he still in the mood to say this kind of joke.
So, Zhou Wu had to dispel this thought, nodded and said: "Well, we have to seize the Huashan position as soon as possible, and we don't know when the little devil will start attacking, but the faster we move, the better." ” Subsequently, Zhou Wu, Ding Ning and Zhai Daping broke up and said goodbye, and several people had mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Lao Zhai, although we are not together, we are not far away, if you have anything, report to me at any time, the defense here depends on you."
Zhai Daping smiled heartily: "Luzao, don't worry, if the devil wants to pass from me, he has to break at least a few front teeth, the 1,000-odd brothers in the special service battalion are not dry food, there are no cowards, people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, people are in the position, unless they destroy us all." ” Hearing this, Zhou Wu seemed to be stuffed with something in his throat, and he couldn't say anything at once, so he had to pat Zhai Daping's shoulder with his hand and said, "Old Zhai, take care." ” Zhai Daping held Zhou Wu's hand: "Brigade seat, chief of staff, you also take care." ” In fact, Zhai Daping knew that guarding the fortifications here with the current strength of the special service battalion was almost a fool's dream, although there was artillery support from the battery, but if the Japanese army wanted to land here on a large scale, then their situation would be very dangerous.
But in the current situation, Zhai Daping can no longer only consider his own safety.
The Huashan position is a strategic location, and at the same time it is threatened by two groups of devils in the direction of the Yangtze River and Changshu, and the independent brigade has to defend it.
Because behind the Huashan position is Jiangyin City, where there are thousands of unarmed people.
After bidding farewell to Zhai Daping and rushing to the Huashan position, Zhou Wu immediately ordered people to dig trenches, and more than 4,000 people were busy for most of the day, and soon built two fortifications on the hillside.
As soon as the brigade headquarters was settled, the old army commander called: "Zhou Wu, I heard that your independent brigade fought a battle with the Japanese reconnaissance detachment pretending to be the national army on the way to retreat, and this battle was fought well."
"Originally, I wanted to reward you well, the Independent Brigade fought so tenaciously in Changshu, inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, delayed their offensive plans, and bought valuable time for friendly troops to withdraw from Shanghai, and deserved to be commended, but I, the army commander, really can't come up with anything decent."
"Don't talk about soldiers now, even if you don't even have the ocean, I'll write this down first, and when it's stable in the future, I'll definitely double the reward for you."
Zhou Wu shook his head and said: "Commander, we are in Changshu to block the devils, covering the retreat of friendly troops is right, don't mention any rewards or not, brothers are not rare, as long as we can block the little devils outside Jiangyin City, we will be satisfied." ” "Please rest assured, the independent brigade will fight to the last man, and swear to live and die with the position." t1706231537:
