Zhou Wu said to Ding Ning: "Ding Ning, our independent brigade is leaving Jiangyin tonight, I think before leaving, let's send Zhao Lijin, I originally wanted to bring Zhao Lijin's body to Nanjing or send it back to his hometown, but now it seems impossible, wait to inform the officers, let's go and send Zhao Lijin together." ” Soon, all the officers above the platoon of the Independent Brigade came, although this Zhao Lijin has a bit of a hot temper on weekdays, but he is righteous and bold, so the brothers of the Independent Brigade, especially the special service battalion, have a lot of respect for Zhao Lijin, and when they heard Zhou Wu's notice, they hurried over to the health company to see off Zhao Lijin.
Zhao Lijin's body had been cleaned up, covered with a white cloth, and several nurses from the health company next to him were crying like tears.
Especially the fat man's favorite little Liu girl, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the pear rain brought flowers, the fat man took the time to glance at the little Liu girl, and thought to himself: "Why is this good-looking girl crying so moving, there is something to see." ” Zhou Wu saw that the officers were almost all there, so he cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Brothers, today we are here to bid farewell to our good brother Zhao Lijin of the Independent Brigade, he died at a young age in order to resist the invasion of devils, but his spirit and his deeds are worthy of our respect, he died for our country that suffered deeply, he is a hero, an eternal hero in our hearts." ” After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he asked Ding Ning to announce the issue of the independent brigade's pension for Zhao Lijin's death and his family, and Ding Ning announced that in addition to the pension stipulated by the normal government, the independent brigade donated 1,000 oceans to Zhao Lijin's family in recognition of Zhao Lijin's heroic behavior in the fight against devils.
In addition, Ding Ning inquired in detail about the situation of Zhao Lijin's family through the help of his classmates who were on an errand in the Nanjing Military Command Department, and entrusted the local government to take care of him if possible.
Subsequently, Zhou Wu led the officers of the Independent Brigade to dig a pit in a beautiful place next to the Huashan position and put Zhao Lijin's body in it.
All the officers stood silently and fired three shots at the sky, Zhou Wu picked up the sapper shovel and shoveled the first shovel of soil, and then Ding Ning, Lao Ge, Fat Man, and Lao Gao each shoveled soil.
As Zhao Lijin's old superior and old colleague before his death, Shandong Dahan Zhai Daping was grief-stricken at this time, and he gritted his teeth and scolded the little devil while shoveling the soil.
"Lao Zhao, you can go with peace of mind, we will take care of your small family, as long as we are in the independent brigade, we will definitely not treat your small family badly, and your revenge can only be avenged by us killing those little devils raised by bitches in the future."
Soon, a small hill-like tomb was formed, Zhou Wu originally wanted to set up a monument in front of Zhao Lijin's grave to keep a memorial, but then he thought that the Huashan position was about to be occupied by the little devils, and if he didn't do it, he would find a place for the devils to vent his hatred, so he still didn't erect a monument, and he would have the opportunity to come here to see Zhao Lijin again in the future.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Lijin, Zhou Wu immediately assigned tonight's tasks to these officers under him on the spot.
Zhai Daping took the brothers of the special service battalion as the vanguard, went to the Jiangyin Fort to contact the garrison of the fort, and blew up all the huge cannons on the Jiangyin Fort before midnight.
Those shells can be taken away together, you really can't take them away, all of them are blown up, and the anti-aircraft guns of the air defense on the battery are better to be able to snap off and carry them, this thing is too rare, it would be a pity to blow them up, if you can take them away, you can also fight the devil plane in the future battle, even if you can't knock down the devil plane, but as long as you can make the devil plane have something to fear.
Zhou Wu also gave a special explanation to Zhai Daping, asking him to contact the commander of the fort garrison, so that all the brothers on their fort were temporarily assigned to the command of the independent brigade, and the army commander had already told their superiors that the official documents could not be delivered to the fort now, if he didn't believe it, he could call his superiors, and his attitude must be good, so as not to conflict with others.
After Zhai Daping accepted the order, he immediately went back and hurried towards the Jiangyin Fort with his spy battalion.
At this time, the front sentry reported that the 11th and 13th divisions of the 79th Army, as well as the guard battalion of the military headquarters, had come to the Huashan position and were preparing to take over the defense with the independent brigade.
Zhou Wu was familiar with the division commanders who led the team, and quickly told them about the various situations on the Huashan position.
Through Zhou Wu's experience in guarding the Huashan position in the past few days, Zhou Wu suggested to Yu Shiming, the commander of the 11th Division and his former superior, that when he attacked at night, he did not need to consider the first-line position of the Huashan position facing the river, and concentrated his troops to storm the junction of the second-line position and the third-line position in Huashan.
The devils have just suffered a big loss from the independent brigade in this place, and it is impossible to organize a decent defense force in such a short period of time now, so a breakthrough from here should be able to receive the expected effect of forcing the devils to retreat, providing valuable time for the large army to retreat.
Yu Shiming accepted Zhou Wu's suggestion, he trusted this old subordinate of his past, and felt that Zhou Wu was a good fighter, and that time in Luodian Zhou Wu led his troops to rescue him from the encirclement of devils, which strengthened his idea, so when Zhou Wu put forward this offensive proposal, he accepted it without hesitation, and immediately put it into practice, he had this condition, because the army commander appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the attack, with full authority to mobilize all offensive troops.
Considering that this place was more than 150 kilometers away from the Danyang line, Zhou Wu ordered the troops to advance rapidly while it was dark at night and the devil's reconnaissance planes could not find the favorable opportunity for the troops to move.
As soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, we will immediately choose a secluded place to rest in seclusion, so as not to be discovered by the devil reconnaissance planes hovering in the sky during the day and expose the target.
Let's not talk about how Zhou Wu and they rushed to the front line of Danyang at night, here let's talk about the special battalion Zhai Daping who served as the forward force, since Zhao Lijin died, the brothers of the special battalion have been angry in their hearts, and they can't wait to rush to the devil camp now, and capture a few devil prisoners alive to pay tribute to their deputy battalion commander Zhao Lijin.
Helplessly, the task assigned to their special battalion by the brigade was to go to the Jiangyin Fort to blow up the cannons, although Zhai Daping was not very happy in his heart, but he felt that the brigade's orders still had to be listened to, and it seemed that revenge for Zhao Lijin and the death squad brothers could only be achieved under the city of Nanjing.
The Huashan position was only five or six miles away from the Jiangyin Fort, Zhai Daping and the brothers of the special service battalion hurriedly jogged all the way, and arrived at the fort in less than half an hour.
"Battalion Commander Zhai, you have worked hard, I received an order from Shangfeng to fully cooperate with you to retreat from the Jiangyin Battery, before arriving in Danyang, more than 1,000 artillery brothers of our Fort Garrison Regiment are all under the command of Battalion Commander Zhai, you give the order, our side is almost ready."
The commander of the fort garrison said to Zhai Daping.
This guy's efficiency is quite high, Zhai Daping estimated that it would only take him an hour to receive the order to retreat, and the inside of the fort had been cleaned up.
Explosives have been placed next to the cannons, shell boxes of various sizes have been packed, and the artillery brothers on the batteries have also packed their gears, and it seems that they will be able to withdraw immediately.
Zhai Daping considered that he was not familiar with the situation on the battery, and after listening to the words of the regiment commander, he immediately said to him: "This commander, your military rank and position are one level higher than mine, and we should have been commanded by you, but the meaning of Shangfeng is already like this, and I can't shirk that brother, I think it's okay to do this, your artillery brothers are still under the command of your regiment commander, we can consult with each other when we act together, and we can't talk about who commands whom, and when we get to Danyang, we can go back wherever we want, what do you think?"
Zhai Daping considered that in the sequence of the national army, this rank of superiors and subordinates is very strict, although there are occasional incidents of commanding friendly troops, but those are all things when the military rank is higher than the head of the commanded troops, and there are also people at the same level, very few.
This time, the subordinate ranks command the superior ranks, Zhai Daping has not heard of it, and it is estimated that there is no one in the national army, so for the sake of stability, Zhai Daping still calmly proposed to command his own troops.
In the event of an emergency, a plan for jointly negotiating a solution can not only complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, but also not hurt the harmony between the commanders of the two units, which is really a win-win plan. t1706231537:
