Ding Ning was afraid that Zhou Wu would not be able to bear such a cruel truth, so he hurriedly called the fat man and Gao Xiangfa to follow.
After following out, they saw that Zhou Wu was constantly slapping the wooden stake with his palm, Ding Ning hurriedly ran over and supported Zhou Wu, and then the fat man and they also surrounded him.
"Travel, the festival mourns and changes, people can't be resurrected after death, and now only by killing more devils can we avenge my sister-in-law and them."
There was not much time, and the officers of the independent brigade, large and small, rushed over one after another when they heard the news, and they were unanimously angry at the atrocities of the Japanese army, and they demanded to go into battle immediately, so that the little devils would pay for their blood debts.
Zhou Wu turned his head slowly, his eyes were full of tears, but his mind was very clear.
"Thank you brothers for your kindness, I understand it, but the chief of staff is right, we can't be brutal, we must use our brains, Lao Ding, immediately convene a meeting of officers above the company level to discuss the next defense task of Niushou Mountain."
Ding Ning nodded again and again, and immediately called someone to inform them, Zhou Wu said to the fat man: "Lao Liu, Lao Gao, Lao Ge, you help me cremate Xiuying and them, it's an extraordinary time, I can't do a decent funeral, it's better to cremate them more conveniently, so I can still take them with me, I finally have a thought." ” The fat man is a person with quite rich feelings, and when he heard Zhou Wu's words, he almost shed tears: "Brigade, don't worry, we will arrange the aftermath properly." ” By the time Zhou Wu returned to the health company, Xiao Shunzi's body had been covered with a white cloth, and together with Xiuying, a total of four corpses, they were lying quietly on a stretcher.
Zhou Wu squatted down, lifted the white cloth one by one, looked at these relatives who were once closest to him with affection, and then shouted loudly: "Fatty, lift up" The fat man hurriedly ran over and carried the stretcher containing his father's body with Zhou Wu, while Ge Sanmin and Gao Xiangfa carried Xiuying and Xiao Shunzi's stretcher and walked out of the trench without saying a word.
Shen Lina and the doctors and nurses of the health company also followed, and Zhou Wu stopped at a place where a trickling stream flowed in Niushou Mountain.
"The old man likes places with water, it's very good here, please dig a pit and bury them together, no need to erect a monument, they like to be quiet."
Everyone hurriedly took out the sapper shovel and dug it up, the fat man, Gao Xiangfa, and Ge Sanmin cut some wood to make a wooden bed, and then put all four bodies on the wooden bed, surrounded by dead branches and trees, the fat man lit the torch and silently handed it to Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu took it, took one last look at his relatives, and then threw the torch on the dead branch tree, and suddenly the flames rose, and the flames soared into the sky, and the four bodies were quickly drowned in the raging flames.
After the cremation, Zhou Wu found a military kettle, pinched a handful of ashes mixed with ashes and put it into the kettle, and then closed the lid as a thought.
The remaining ashes were packed in jars, buried in the pits that had been dug and filled with earth.
After the incident, the fat man proposed to line up collectively and fired three shots to express his condolences, but Zhou Wu immediately stopped him: "Fat man, don't be like this, they are not sacrificed for the country, they should not enjoy such treatment, fire three shots, that is a courtesy to the sacrificed martyrs, don't spoil it." ” At this time, Ding Ning was reluctant, he felt that Zhou Wu's approach was too impersonal, so he stepped forward and said: "Brigade, although sister-in-law they are not sacrificed on the battlefield to kill the enemy, they are your family, the family of our soldiers." ” "Such an identity, after death, enjoy the spontaneous firing of the brothers to mourn, what's the matter, what do you say you can't spoil this courtesy, I think it's your vanity that is doing the trick.
We have no problem with you wanting to be a good officer with an iron mask and selflessness, but you can't stop us from being sincere. ” Ding Ning counted Zhou Wu all the times, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head and said: "Fat man, tell the brothers to raise their guns, fire three times, and bow three times to express condolences to our military families, hoping that their spirits in the sky will bless us to kill more little devils."
The fat man waited for this sentence, he didn't say a word and directly gave the command to raise his gun to prepare, and everyone took out their guns one after another and raised them to the clear blue sky.
Ding Ning also took out his spear and glanced at Zhou Wu, Zhou Wu saw that everyone had done this, so he had to take out his spear and point it to the sky.
"Release" Ding Ning gave an order.
"Tom Tom" The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the valley for a long time, and then everyone bowed three times to the place where Xiuying was buried to express their condolences.
After returning to the brigade headquarters, Zhou Wu found that all the officers above the company level had arrived, and everyone was saddened by the fact that he had just lost his relatives, and several radical officers even proposed to launch a retaliatory action against the Japanese army to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
"Thank you brothers for your kindness, but in the current situation where we are outnumbered, we can't take the initiative to attack.
Not only will you not be able to destroy the enemy, but you may also lose yourself. ” "I invite you to come this time to think about how to eliminate the little devils as much as possible on the premise of preserving your own strength, so as to achieve the goal of holding Niushou Mountain and delaying the Japanese army's attack on Nanjing."
Ding Ning continued: "Brigade is right, with our current situation, it is a victory to be able to hold on to Niushou Mountain, and there is no strength left to attack.
Just imagine how many of us could rush to the enemy under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese aircraft and the frenzied blows of artillery" "Even if you barely rush in, a few won't help, and it won't solve the problem at all.
Now I call everyone here to brainstorm how to exchange the least price for the greatest result. ” At this time, the fat man was the first to stand up and speak: "Brigade, see if we can consider another way to fight the little devil."
I don't think we can always sit in the trenches and play positional warfare with little devils, to be honest, we can't afford positional warfare anymore. ” "The first point is that the strength of our brigade is getting smaller and smaller, and the ammunition and logistics are also a little unable to keep up, and what we need most to fight positional warfare is strong and sufficient logistics support, which we are unable to do."
"Now there is chaos in Nanjing, the command and communication between the upper and lower levels are not connected, the troops are fighting separately, and if we blindly fight positional warfare, it will be difficult for us to hold Niushou Mountain." reasonable Zhou Wu suddenly found that the fat man was becoming more and more able to lead troops to fight, and now he had learned to analyze the enemy situation and use his brain.
"Well, fatty, what you said makes a lot of sense, keep talking."
When the fat man saw Zhou Wu praising himself in public, he immediately felt that his face was very face-saving, and he immediately took over the conversation and said: "This second point is that we should make full use of the topographical characteristics of Niushou Mountain and play a game of hide and seek with the little devils." ” t1706231537:
