Zhou Wu said to Gao Xiangfa: "Gao Xiangfa, this battle loss is too big, I estimated it according to the corpse of that devil, the devil's loss will not be much greater than ours, if we continue to fight like this, we will not be able to support the Huashan position for a few days, the devil has more people than us, and the firepower is stronger than ours, they can grind us to death even if they grind slowly." ” Gao Xiangfa also nodded and admitted that the combat effectiveness of this little devil is indeed powerful, this time the brothers of the four regiments fought hand-to-hand with them, and they couldn't take advantage of it at all when there were a lot of people, and this time the casualties were mainly because the devil's naval guns were too fierce, and there were many people killed by the devil's shells alone, not to mention the brothers who died in the white-knuckle battle later.
Zhou Wu was upset, walking around the fortifications with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to preserve his strength and resist the attack of the devil, at this time, Ding Ning came over, he also saw the situation just now, and felt that it would definitely not work to fight like this, the devil has troops and firepower, and now this devil plane has not bombed here, so he has to think of a way.
Zhou Wu walked in the fortifications for a while, turned his head and said to Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, you see if this will work, this is nearly two miles away from the river beach, if we have enough artillery support, it should be able to completely block this area, but obviously our artillery firepower is not enough, even with the military artillery regiment of the military headquarters, it cannot completely cover such a large river beach, the devils can still rush up, and with the help of their sea and air firepower, we will slowly die here independently."
What I mean is to send a team to set up an ambush next to the river beach, and flank the devils with the troops on the fortifications when the devils land next time, so that it is possible to receive the attempt to force the devils to abandon the landing from this Huashan position. ” Ding Ning was silent for a long time, and said to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, this method is not very good, the troops sent out are almost death squads that can't come back, once the devils find out that we have a small number of troops in ambush on the river beach, they will concentrate their forces to surround our ambush troops, and at that time, it will be difficult for our troops on the fortifications to rescue them, because there is no better terrain for ambushes next to this river beach, and the field of vision is so wide, I don't think it is possible to set up an ambush."
Ding Ning disagreed with Zhou Wu's method of setting up an ambush on the river beach, thinking that it was too risky.
Gao Xiangfa and the fat man also thought that the chief of staff's opinion was reasonable, and it was relatively difficult to guarantee the concealment of setting up an ambush on such a large river beach, and if it lost its concealment and suddenness, this ambush would become of no practical significance, but would be used by the devils to sacrifice their brothers in vain.
Zhou Wu saw that his brothers did not agree with his plan, and his heart became even more irritable, and he glared at everyone and said, "Then what is the best way, let's talk about it." ” Ding Ning said to Zhou Wu at this time: "Brigade seat, the devil warship suffered a loss last time in the cannon battle with the Jiangyin Fort, and now they will not land on the side of the fort, otherwise they would have passed towards the fort side long ago, and their purpose is also very clear, that is, to land on the Huashan position, seize this position to control the Jiangyin City below, and then start from here to capture the fort from the back of the fort, so as to occupy the entire Jiangyin in one fell swoop." ” Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's analysis and said: "Ding Ning, I also know about the devil's attempt, and now our problem is how to block the devil's attack on this Huashan position, this is the most important thing."
When Zhou Wu said this, his face showed green tendons, and he looked strange and scary.
Ding Ning looked at Zhou Wu, who was already a little excited, and said: "Brigade seat, I'll be honest, just relying on our independent brigade with such a small number of troops can't hold this Huashan position, the devils are still only attacking us in the direction of the Yangtze River, if they attack us in the direction of Changshu on land, the situation will be even more critical, although there are 11 divisions that will support us from the flank, but it is also a drop in the bucket, and it will not play a big role." ” "Then according to your meaning, we can't advance or retreat here, we can't set up an ambush on the side of the river beach in advance, and the troops to hold the position are not enough, so it's hard for us to wait here to die" Zhou Wu said impatiently.
"That's not what it means, I mean that since it has been determined that this Huashan position is the main direction of the devil's attack on Jiangyin, we should ask the army commander to let the 11th Division of Commander Yu immediately enter our Huashan position and take over the position of Ge Sanmin on the third line of our independent brigade, the 11th Division currently has more than 3,000 troops, three times more than Ge Sanmin, and it should be able to temporarily block the devil soldiers attacking from the direction of Changshu, and put the vacated Ge Sanmin and their second regiment all on the fortifications on Gao Xiangfa's side, There are nearly 4,000 troops in this front, and there is a steady and steady approach, when the devils shell or bombard, all enter the air-raid shelter or find cover to take refuge, try to avoid this kind of casualties, once the devil's shelling stops, immediately enter the combat position on the fortifications, try to move those heavy machine guns to a safe place, don't be damaged by the devil's shells, so that the brothers toss back and forth although it is a little hard, but to avoid casualties I think it is still worth it, Lao Liu's regiment as a reserve, While protecting the anti-aircraft artillery positions behind the position, the situation there is urgent, so I will go there to block it, and this is the only way I can think of at present.
Ding Ning finally said what he really thought.
After Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's thoughts, his mind gradually calmed down, he thought for a while, and he could only use this method at present, and suddenly he remembered Zhai Daping and them who were stationed behind the Jiangyin Fort, and asked Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, do you think you can transfer Zhai Daping and them to the Huashan position, so that we can have an extra thousand mobile forces." ” Ding Ning hurriedly shook his head: "This is not good, although it seems that the devils will not land from the Jiangyin Fort now, it does not mean that they will not choose to land from there in the future, if the attack on us here is not smooth, the devils may land on the Jiangyin Fort, or increase the strength of the Marine Corps to land from the Huashan position and the Jiangyin Fort at the same time, at that time, the pressure on our entire Jiangyin defense line can be imagined, and whether we can continue to hold it is a big problem." ” Zhou Wu listened to it and felt that Ding Ning was right, so he no longer insisted on his own ideas, and hurriedly called the radio of the military headquarters and asked the army commander to send the 11th Division to reinforce the Huashan position.
The army commander understood the extent of the attack of the devils in the Huashan position, felt that Zhou Wu's judgment was reasonable, and promised Zhou Wu to immediately let the 11th Division get Yu Shiming to rush to the Huashan position before tonight and enter the combat position, considering that for the unity of operational command, the army commander ordered Yu Shiming's 11th Division to be temporarily commanded by Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu listened, and even said: "Army commander, this is not good, Division Commander Yu is my old superior, he should command me, I am afraid that it will be too embarrassing to wait for the time of operational command." ” The army commander is an old soldier, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, he has been in the army for a long time, he knows very well the qualifications of this platoon, the unspoken rules of seniority, don't look at the harmony between the officers, very united, very confidant, but it really comes to that time, pulling each other's skins, playing football is a lot, if it is in ordinary peacetime, it is not a big deal, but in case of a critical moment of fighting with the little devil, come so suddenly, it is terrible, it is going to die, and many people will die.
The army commander thought for a while and said to Zhou Wu: "Zhou Wu, otherwise, the 11th Division is still under my command, you can report the situation to me by radio anyway, and I can issue another order to the 11th Division." ” Zhou Wu immediately replied: "Commander, this is the best. ” t1706231537:
