Wang Ding couldn't do it, so he had to give up the idea of salvaging the corpse of the devil, and continued to follow the head of the security regiment to move inside, the further he went, the corpses in various postures appeared in front of Wang Ding's eyes, Wang Ding roughly estimated that the two or three hundred devils last night seemed to be all in this swamp.
After walking for about two or three miles, the security captain who led the team stopped, a trace of confusion and confusion flashed in his eyes, his eyes were firmly fixed on a raised human-like thing in the grass in front of him, Wang Ding and his brothers hurriedly took out their weapons, pulled the bolt of the gun, and slowly approached the thing.
When he got close to that thing and carefully removed the weeds covering the outside, Wang Ding saw that this was the corpse of a devil officer, and the yellow uniform on his body had been torn by something into the shape of a piece, Wang Ding hurriedly turned over the body of the devil officer, and when he saw the face of the devil officer, Wang Ding, who was usually bold and not afraid of heaven and earth, also gasped, only to see that the face of this devil officer was not at all presentable, the facial features were gone, and the two eyes were gone.
Leaving only two holes in Hessen, Wang Ding hurriedly let go, turned back to the security regiment commander who was already pale, and said: "Hurry up and return, this place is ominous, it seems that it is impossible for the devil to escape from this place, the first battalion commander, quickly unload the weapon on the corpse of the devil officer, and look for something important." ” When the battalion commander saw the devil officer's death, he was also a little worried, and hurriedly called a few bold brothers to take off the things on the devil officer's body, and turned it over, in addition to an Oriental knife and a Wang Ba box, they also found a briefcase of the devil officer, this briefcase was grabbed by the devil officer, and the battalion commander couldn't pull it out with all their might, and then a brother was in a hurry, took out a big knife, and chopped off the devil officer's claws with his eyes closed, I pulled out the briefcase.
Wang Ding knew that there was an article in this briefcase, otherwise this devil officer would have clung so tightly to death that he would not let go, he couldn't understand why this devil officer died so ugly, as if he had suddenly been attacked to death by some unknown animal.
Wang Ding didn't have time to think about the cause of death of this devil officer at this time, thinking that he should go back immediately now, and talk about the contents of the briefcase after he went back, anyway, the chief of staff of our independent brigade Ding is a Japanese scholar, and it won't be over if he hands it over Wang Ding immediately told the security regiment commander to immediately collect the team and return, the security regiment commander had long wanted to go back, and as soon as he heard Wang Ding's words, he hurriedly returned to the station from the original route with his subordinates.
After returning to the fortifications, Wang Ding told Zhou Wu and Ding Ning about the situation in the swamp, Zhou Wu was very interested in hearing it, and he even had an urge to go over there to see, but Ding Ning stopped him, he didn't think so: "Luzao, it's now the Republic of China period, what are the demons and monsters there in broad daylight, I think there are some water snakes, weasels and the like in the swamp over there, it is estimated that this devil officer may have died at the hands of these animals in the swamp, plus it is dark and invisible, The despair of being in a desperate situation in the swamp deepened his fear, maybe this devil officer himself had a nervous breakdown, and it was not easy to say that he harmed himself, but it was good, who told these devils to maim us Chinese people, this is retribution, real retribution. ” Ding Ning spoke very philosophically, analyzed the matter at the head of the way, and listened to Zhou Wu and Wang Ding nodded again and again, deeply convinced.
Zhou Wu said: "We are not detectives, there is no need to worry about the cause of death of this devil officer, Ding Ning, you hurry up and take a look at the things that Lao Wang brought, maybe there is valuable information in it." ” When Ding Ning heard this, he hurriedly studied the briefcase that Wang Ding brought with them, which contained a military map, a photo of this devil officer, documents, and a copy of the devil's recent battle plan.
Ding Ning saw the battle plan, his heart was ecstatic, he looked at the devil officer's ID, it turned out that this guy was an operational staff officer of the fourth division of the devil who landed in Jinshan, with the rank of lieutenant, it is estimated that this time he came to Danyang with the devil's advance team to conduct intelligence reconnaissance, but he did not expect to be beaten by Wang Ding and them in the middle of the night, and rushed into the swamp to burp.
This devil's battle plan was all written in Japanese, and Ding Ning relied on his previous knowledge in Japan for a few years to tinker with a Japanese dictionary for two hours before he translated this battle plan.
Ding Ning hurriedly told Zhou Wu about the translated military plan of the devil, which meant that the devil would advance to Zhenjiang in the near future, and the fourth division of the devil who landed in Jinshan and the thirteenth division of the devil who landed from Jiangyin would be the main attack, and the left and right roads would encircle Zhenjiang, and then advance to the city of Nanjing, and join forces with several other Japanese troops in Nanjing, with the goal of conquering Nanjing in the middle of next month.
Specifically, the task of this wing is to concentrate the forces of one wing to seize Shitang Town, hold this key point of communication, completely cut off the rear route of the Chinese troops retreating from the direction of Jiangyin, and after completing the encirclement of Zhenjiang, they will gather and annihilate it.
Zhou Wu listened to the battle plan of this devil, and didn't speak for a long time, the devil has begun to encircle and conquer Nanjing, the national capital, the situation is in danger, and those high-level people in Nanjing are still arguing about whether to stick to Nanjing, it is time to burn their eyebrows, and they have not mobilized the people to evacuate Nanjing, and some high-ranking officials even let out words, with the current military strength of the national army around Nanjing, it is completely able to resist the Japanese attack for more than three months, and there is time to arrange for the people to evacuate Nanjing, even if they really want to evacuate, Nanjing is the capital of the Nationalist Government, and there are so many large and small organs and institutions that it will not be possible to complete the withdrawal overnight.
Ding Ning also thought for a while, raised his head and asked Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, what do you think our independent brigade will do, the devil has already been determined to capture this Shitang Town, although in this battle plan they arranged a wing of more than 3,000 troops, but there is no guarantee that they will not increase their troops in the future, now although our independent brigade has 5,000 people, plus the security forces stationed in Shitang Town, there are almost more than 6,000, but the most important thing at present is that our logistics have lost support, and guns, ammunition and supplies can only support three or four days, Although some can be added in this Shitang town, it can't solve any big problems. ” Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's analysis, and was also worried in his heart, what Ding Ning said was the truth, since he retreated from Jiangyin in a hurry, all kinds of military materials that were placed in the combat readiness warehouse were too late to bring, and now only Zhai Daping and his brothers in Jiangyin Fort can bring some, and the rest can only ask the military department for help or solve it on the spot.
In this way, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning urgently adjusted the defensive deployment, took the southwest direction of Shitang Town mentioned in the devil's intelligence as the focus of defense, put Gao Xiangfa and Ge Sanmin in this position respectively, and discussed with the security regiment commander stationed in Shitang Town, and he also agreed that in the current emergency, he was willing to obey the command of the independent brigade, and volunteered to help undertake the logistics and supply tasks.
Zhou Wu considered that this security regiment had been stationed in Shitang Town for a long time, and he was already quite familiar with the contacts and terrain of Shitang Town, and that they should be able to get twice the result with half the effort by going to Shitang Town to collect supplies, so he did not hesitate to agree to the request of the security regiment commander, and appointed this security regiment commander named Sun Ming on the spot as the deputy quartermaster of the Independent Brigade of the 79th Army of the National Army, responsible for the logistics and supply of the current Independent Brigade in Shitang Town, and concurrently serving as the head of the security regiment, waiting for the dispatch of the Independent Brigade at any time.
In this way, there was no major movement in the morning, and Zhou Wu's independent brigade hurriedly strengthened the existing position on the outskirts of Shitang Town, and extended a trench on the basis of the original position to serve as a buffer during the battle.
At noon, the fat man rushed to this Shitang town with the health company and the wounded, Zhou Wu had been very worried about Zhai Daping of the special service battalion, so he used the radio to call Zhai Daping, Zhai Daping replied that it was about to arrive, because there were too many baggage things with him, so he moved slowly. t1706231537:
