At this time, Zhou Wu remembered what the army commander had told him before, asking him to mobilize the artillery regiment under the military headquarters for fire support at a critical moment, and there should be no problem with artillery support, but how to avoid the brothers from surviving under the bombardment of the devil's aircraft and artillery is a big problem that needs to be studied well.
Ding Ning put forward this idea: Tonight, more than 2,000 brothers will all take turns to rest and dig anti-artillery holes in batches, and only by digging the anti-artillery holes can they survive under the aircraft cannons of the devils in the Jiangnan water network area, otherwise everything is empty talk.
Zhou Wu agreed with Ding Ning's proposal, but he felt that the 2,000 or so people digging the pit were not enough, and then transferred more than 1,000 people from Gao Xiangfa to the second-line position to help dig the anti-artillery hole, so that more than 3,000 people would dig the hole.
There are many people and there is a lot of strength, and at this rate, we should be able to dig up anti-artillery shells that can hide before dawn tomorrow to resist the indiscriminate bombardment of tomorrow's devil planes.
Anyway, as long as there are troops on Gao Xiangfa's side at night, it is okay to have a sneak attack on the Yangtze River at night After Gao Xiangfa and the others received an urgent order from Zhou Wu to dig a pit on the side of the second-line position reservoir, they sent more than 1,000 brothers led by a battalion commander to rush over to help.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning saw that the situation of the health company here had almost recovered, and hurriedly asked the fat man to leave a company of troops in front of the combat readiness warehouse to defend the health company, in case the devil attacked here again, and all the rest of the brothers went to the second-line position to dig a pit to help.
Wang Ding, who was desperately digging a pit with his brothers on the edge of the pond in front of them, saw that Zhou Wu and Chief of Staff Ding Ning had brought so many brothers to help dig the pit, and they shouted excitedly to the brothers of the Second Regiment: "Brothers of the Second Regiment, you see, the brigade is here with a large army to help us dig fortifications."
These brothers had been tired for half the night, and they were in a daze, when they suddenly heard that our brigade had personally brought people to help dig the pit, and they all felt refreshed, and they were doing a good job.
Zhou Wu divided the men and horses into two groups, and took turns to let them rest for two hours before digging the pit, so that there were many more people on the second-line position, and for a time the sound of pickaxes digging pits and shoveling soil was endless, and the enthusiasm for labor of the big guys was unprecedentedly high.
There is no need for any mobilization to dig such fortifications and bomb shelters, because the brothers of the Independent Brigade have suffered a lot from the devil's planes and artillery, and they know that the bomb shelter being dug now is used to save their lives when the devils attack tomorrow.
Although I am tired and hard now, and I can't sleep well, compared to the tragic scene of being bombed indiscriminately by devil planes and artillery tomorrow, it is quite worthwhile to dig a pit at night.
After more than 3,000 people worked hard overnight, several trenches and air-raid shelters were dug around the pond in the second-line position, which were large enough to accommodate 2,000 people to hide.
Zhou Wu looked at the dug trenches and air-raid shelters, and was quite satisfied, and said to Ding Ning with a smile: "Ding Ning, look, such a deep and wide trench and so many air-raid shelters that can be hidden at any time, plus there is a unique drainage system, you will not be afraid of the devil's planes and artillery tomorrow, even if it rains in a few days, there will be no fear of becoming a country of Wang Yangze." ” Ding Ning said to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, although this air-raid shelter and trench can prevent the devils from harming our army during shelling and bombardment, but to prevent the devils from attacking this side from the direction of Changshu, we must also think of a more secure way, after all, it is impossible to resist the repeated attacks of the devils by fighting positional defensive warfare, and we don't have as many devils." ” Ding Ning was very sober and raised his worries, thinking that on the basis of holding his position, he should think of other ways to engage in the idea of the devil on the other side.
Zhou Wu thought that Ding Ning had a point, but now that it was almost dawn, the more than 3,000 brothers were tired enough after digging fortifications for a day.
The brothers of Gao Xiangfa's fourth regiment have to go back immediately, otherwise the devils will attack Huashan head-on from the Yangtze River during the day, and they may not be able to hold it, so they have to let them go back quickly.
Zhou Wu immediately ordered the battalion commander under Gao Xiangfa to immediately rush back to the front of the Huashan position with more than 1,000 brothers, and informed Gao Xiangfa to pay attention to the movements of the devil warships on the river at any time, and to report to him by radio as soon as there was a situation.
The fat man and the main force of the first battalion all stayed on this second-line position, and together with Ge Sanmin and their second regiment to defend against the devils who came from the direction of Changshu, seeing that it was still early, the fat man sat down with Zhou Wu and chatted for a while.
Zhou Wu said to the fat man with a smile at this time: "Lao Liu, I think that little Liu girl in the health company is good, your heroic act of saving beauty at night is too perfect, or I will tell you about it, and match you." ” The fat man was thinking about this good thing in his heart, and when he heard that Zhou Wudu took the initiative to speak, he hurriedly replied: "Then dare to be good, dare to be good, Lvza, then trouble you." ” Zhou Wu said with a smile: "Lao Liu, this matter depends on wishful thinking, it's not that I Zhou Wu can make it happen, the most important thing is to rely on your own, when the attack of the devils here slows down, you go to the health company more, Captain Shen I will help say hello, Lao Liu, don't be in a hurry, take your time, the fat man can't be eaten in one bite, tell me when there is something wrong or wrong, I will check it for you." ” Zhou Wu, as an elder brother who already has a family, earnestly put forward the experience of chasing the girl to the fat man, and the fat man couldn't stop nodding when he heard it, thinking to himself: Our brigade is good, we are good at fighting, and chasing girls has so much experience, it's really not easy.
Zhou Wu chatted with the fat man for a while, looking at the sky is about to dawn, from the morning sky, it seems that today is another sunny day, a nasty sunny day, the devil's plane is coming to Huashan again, and it is a pity that our plane does not know where it is now Zhou Wu thought about this devil's plane, his head hurt, to say that the devil's infantry combat effectiveness is stronger than usual, but they don't have the help of the plane in the sky and the naval guns on the river, Zhou Wu is still not very worried in his heart.
The problem is that the soldiers of the independent brigade are getting smaller and smaller now, and they will not be able to get the necessary supplements, and if the fight continues in this way, when they reach Nanjing, I don't know how many people will be left in this independent brigade to defend the city of Nanjing.
Zhou Wu didn't dare to think much about this, because it was useless for him to think about it, you can't give up this Huashan position, which is very important for Jiangyin's city defense, in order to maintain your strength, and now you can only take one step at a time.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning returned to Gao Xiangfa's front-line position, and the sun in the east had already shown its usual smiling face.
The scenery of Jiangyin in the early winter morning looks very good, but Zhou Wu's heart is always gloomy, and he always feels that this kind of sunny and good weather is not a good sign for the soldiers who stick to the Huashan position.
Gao Xiangfa had already gotten up early to inspect the position, and he was also very disgusted by this kind of sunny day, so he walked around the position, reminding the brothers who were responsible for observing the sky and the river to pay attention to the devil's planes and warships at any time, and immediately call the police to report if there was a situation.
The Huashan position was in a hurry, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning casually found two cans to satisfy their hunger, and after eating, they came to the forefront position together to look at the combat readiness of the fourth regiment.
The four regiments were busy at the forefront of the fortifications of the main position in Huashan, and the four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were disguised and concealed with tree branches and other things, were also ready to meet the incoming devil planes.
The brothers on the anti-aircraft artillery position were already gearing up and were eager to try to deal a hard blow to the devil plane waiting for them.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning walked around Gao Xiangfa's side twice, and felt that the preparations were still relatively sufficient, and they were a little relieved, but looking at it, they found that the most important hidden danger on the Huashan position was the serious shortage of combatants.
There is a huge fortification position, and nearly 2,000 people from Gao Xiangfa are placed here, like a handful of millet sprinkled in a large pot of water, and I don't see a few.
If the devils have detected the actual situation and specially found the weakest place to focus on attacking, then it seems that our Jiangyin Huashan position will not be able to hold it alive or dead. t1706231537:
