Soon, all the little devils who were still resisting were solved by the independent brigade one by one, and the last remaining Shao Zuo saw that the general trend was gone, sat on the ground with a butt, and was about to pick up the Oriental knife to commit suicide, but he was shot in the wrist by the fat man, and the Oriental knife fell to the ground with a "clanging bell".
The fat man and the two soldiers of the national army pounced on it and held down the little devil who tried to hang himself.
In fact, Zhou Wu took a dangerous step in this battle, fortunately the fourth regiment fought tenaciously, and fortunately the 11th division arrived in time, otherwise it would not be a little devil lying on the ground now, but their independent brigade.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu felt a chill behind him, this kind of work of dancing on the tip of the knife can't be done often, otherwise it will fall down one day, and it will really be a catastrophe at that time.
At the end of the battle, the army commander sent a congratulatory telegram to congratulate the independent brigade on its victory, defending Niushou Mountain, and dealing a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese army.
However, Zhou Wu was very calm, and he thought that the Independent Brigade was in big trouble.
After this battle, the Japanese army will definitely retaliate, so that they will not live in peace in the future.
For this reason, Zhou Wu was depressed, he was very worried about the casualties of the independent brigade, and immediately ordered the fat man to quickly count the losses in this battle.
The statistical results were quickly reported, although Zhou Wu was somewhat mentally prepared for the casualties of the four regiments in this battle, but the reported figures still surprised him.
The three thousand people of the four regiments were nearly 1,000 killed, more than 1,000 wounded, and less than 800 of them were left to carry guns to fight, so they could only be organized into a reinforced battalion.
Although the battle barely held Niushou Mountain and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops, the casualties of the independent brigade itself reached more than 2,000, which could not be regarded as a big victory, but only a tragic victory.
Today is over, but the uninjured little devil on the opposite side will definitely retaliate on a large scale, what to do tomorrow What to do in the future This time fortunately, the 11th Division came to help, even if it arrived, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and Niushou Mountain was saved from collapse, but in the future, you can't rely on the 11th Division or other friendly troops to rescue it every time.
At this time, Yu Shiming walked over, he saw Zhou Wu's sad face, and joked: "Brother, you just won a big battle, and even the army commander sent a congratulatory message, why are you still depressed?"
"This battle is the first battle since we retreated to Nanjing, you played the prestige of our 79th Army, I heard that Chief Tang and the chairman of the committee are very happy, and you want to commend the independent brigade, congratulations."
"Division Commander Yu, you are exalting me too much, if you hadn't arrived in time with the 11th Division this time, our independent brigade would have been finished, and there would be any victory in the first battle."
Zhou Wu is very sober and calm, which makes him quite popular in the 79th Army, otherwise he would have been used behind his back.
Yu Shiming listened to Zhou Wu's words and felt very useful, after all, he was his old subordinate for many years, everyone had worked together for so many years, Zhou Wu had not forgotten his former old superior after he was promoted, and this kid had a bright future in the future.
Now we must have a good relationship, in case Zhou Wu is developed in the future, no matter how I say it, there will be a response.
Although he is a fellow countryman with the chairman of the committee, he is not a cronie after all, as the saying goes, many enemies have more walls, and many friends have one more road.
"Brother, don't worry, your business is my business, if our 11th Division can draw troops to help you in the future, it is impossible to denounce it, which of us is with whom."
"Thank you."
Zhou Wu thanked him again and again.
In fact, at this point, reputation is no longer important, how to defend Niushou Mountain is the top priority.
At this time, the old army commander suddenly called and said, "Zhou Wu, I have good news for you, your family members have all been found, and it is estimated that you will be able to reach Jiangning at noon tomorrow."
It's not easy, now your family can finally be reunited, although it is on the battlefield, but it is still worth celebrating. ” Hearing that he would be able to see his son, wife, and parents soon, Zhou Wu was very happy: "Old commander, I don't know what to do without your persistence and help this time, thank you, thank you very much." ” "Alas, this is all a trivial matter, but according to the brother who was sent to pick up your family, your family was able to survive the crazy bombing of the Japanese army, all thanks to the help of an officer from the Military Command Department, he seems to be Ding Ning's old classmate, if you want to thank him, go to Xie Ding Ning, if he hadn't arranged the residence and air-raid shelter in advance, I'm afraid we would not be able to do anything."
"Definitely, I will thank him in person when I have the chance, but now that the battle is so fierce, I'm afraid I won't have the effort."
Zhou Wu said.
"Well, no matter how busy the war is, you can't put the safety of your family at risk, now that the Japanese planes are so rampant, I think you should send a few people to pick them up, don't worry about any bad effects, just say that I agree, and find me if you have something."
The old army commander cared for Zhou Wu very much, which made him feel a warm current in his heart.
Putting down the phone, Zhou Wu thought for a long time, in fact, the old army commander had a point, since it was already like this, it would be too pedantic for him to stubbornly adhere to his previous ideas and views.
Therefore, Zhou Wu immediately ordered the special battalion to send a squad of people to set off overnight to Nanjing to pick up his family members to Jiangning.
After Zhai Daping received the order, he felt very relieved, he had always advocated picking up his sister-in-law and them from Nanjing first, but later saw that Zhou Wu had not moved, so he slowly forgot about it.
As soon as he heard the news today, he decided to take people to Nanjing in person.
Zhou Wu thought about it for a while, Zhai Daping was more stable in dealing with people, and it was more reliable for him to take someone to pick him up, so he nodded and agreed.
After returning to the station, Zhai Daping told Dabao that they hurriedly dispatched ten capable brothers, and there was an urgent task at night, and all the personnel participating in the operation wore civilian clothes.
Dabao and they hurriedly ran to the bottom to pick out ten brothers with good skills and sharp legs, and as soon as everyone heard that they were going to Nanjing to pick up the family members of the brigade, they all recommended themselves and shouted that they wanted to go.
Seeing that hundreds of people were about to go, it took a lot of time for Dabao and them to calm down the emotions of those brothers who were not chosen.
A group of thirteen people, hurriedly ate something and set off, along the way Zhai Daping and they specially picked up sparsely populated paths, although the road was a lot farther, but fortunately it was safe and reliable.
At midnight, they finally arrived at the Guanghua Gate in Nanjing.
At this time, the Guanghua Gate had been closed, and the city was full of patrolling soldiers, and it was pitch black except for two flickering searchlights around the gate.
At this time, Zhai Daping suddenly regretted that they were wearing civilian clothes, due to the pressure of the Japanese army, Nanjing has implemented a curfew, and no one is strictly forbidden to enter and exit after dark, unless there is a special pass from the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters, otherwise they will be treated as spies and killed. t1706231537:
