"The teacher is serious, now I am not thinking about the problem of being the teacher, but how to defend the position in the current situation, ensure that Niushou Mountain is not lost, and guard the east gate of Nanjing City.
Zhou Wu talked about the family that was killed by the devil's plane, and he hated it so much that he couldn't wait to eat the little devil.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was already half a meter thick, so Zhou Wu ordered the forward troops to strengthen the vigilance of the positions, informed the regiments, and asked the secretaries of each regiment to add vegetables today, boil more ginger soup and broth, and take advantage of the opportunity of the truce to replenish the physical strength of the brothers.
In this way, the independent brigade passed peacefully for two days, and on the third day, the sun came out, the weather cleared, the snow began to melt, and the devils were coming up again.
Early in the morning, Zhou Wu couldn't sleep, according to the intelligence from the front, the little devils who captured Zhenjiang had already rushed in the direction of Jiangning, with two divisions and about forty or fifty thousand people.
If you add the devils gathered in the direction of Jiangning, there are 70,000 or 80,000 little devils on the Jiangning side at this time, compared to the large number of little devils, the national army troops stationed on the front line of Jiangning only have more than 50,000 horses, and it is obviously impossible to stop the devils from advancing.
In the past two days, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning ran to the military headquarters every day, and the old army commander, in order to get rid of the current predicament, held a military meeting at the military headquarters every day to discuss how to fight the little devils in the current situation.
At this time, Lao Xu, who was in charge of the Quartermaster Department of the Independent Brigade who had gone to Shanghai to purchase arms, came back, and he brought with him many new weapons and ammunition, such as carbines, box guns, grenades, explosives, and radios.
Speaking of the purchase of arms this time, Lao Xu's chatterbox opened: "Luzao, this time I went to Shanghai, thanks to Mr.
Du's men, if it weren't for their help, not to mention that I could buy this batch of arms, or that I could run out of Shanghai, it would be a problem." ” "Oh, didn't you say that Mr.
Du went to Hong Kong, although Mr.
Du was born in the Green Gang, but he stood up to actively support the anti-Japanese resistance at a time of national crisis, after the fall of Shanghai, he didn't want to be a traitor, and went to Hong Kong to be a public servant, for this, I admire it quite a lot."
Zhou Wu said.
"Although Mr.
Du went to Hong Kong, he has a lot of disciples and grandchildren in Shanghai, especially in those concessions, the little devils can't control there, I got this batch of arms from foreigners through their connections, and finally used American merchant ships to transport this batch of arms."
Lao Xu said.
"Lao Xu, you have solved a big problem for me this time, and I will have the opportunity to thank Mr.
Du's brothers in the future, this is really the answer to that sentence, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, so I firmly believe that the little devil will not be able to destroy our China."
Zhou Wu said.
At this time, Zhou Wu suddenly felt the ground jump, and then the whole earth trembled, and kept jumping, and the rumbling sound suddenly came.
Zhou Wu jumped up violently: "The little devil is going to attack, this is artillery preparation" Zhou Wu immediately asked the staff officers of the brigade headquarters to contact the fat man, Gao Xiangfa, and Ge Sanmin who were in the forward position, and asked them to quickly avoid artillery fire and prepare for the attack of the devils.
Zhou Wu was anxious and ordered these staff officers to immediately run to the forward position, find the fat men and them, convey the order to avoid artillery fire and prepare to meet the attack of the devils, and asked the fat men to turn on the radio station and contact the brigade headquarters at any time.
At this time, Ding Ning hurriedly ran in and said: "Brigade seat, the devil is going to attack, I think this time is different, it seems that the devil is going to attack, according to the intelligence of the national army in other directions, the devil may attack the national army on the whole line of Jiangning, it is estimated that even the devil in the direction of Zhenjiang has joined the attack, and our independent brigade alone has to deal with the attack of more than 20,000 devils, the situation is not good."
When Zhou Wu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he was very worried about the future of the Independent Brigade.
There are more than 20,000 little devils on the opposite side, and now the independent brigade plus the 11th division on the left and right flanks has a total of less than 8,000 people Ding Ning couldn't think of a safe and reliable way at this time, so he could only stare at the combat map tightly, the devil's artillery preparations continued, and the violent explosion sound seemed to be a sledgehammer, hitting Zhou Wu's chest, making him feel a little out of breath.
After an unbearable 20-minute artillery bombardment, the devil's artillery preparations finally stopped, and the staff officers sent by Zhou Wu to contact the front line also rushed back, and telephone contact with the forward positions was resumed.
The staff officer brought the news that the forward positions were ready to fight against the devils, except for a few brothers who were killed by the devils without defense at the beginning, everyone else hid in the anti-artillery holes in time, and there were no major casualties.
Zhou Wu's heart calmed down a little, it's good that there are no major casualties, now the most lacking thing in the independent brigade is people, if the battle is fierce in the future, the casualties are too large, and he can't get timely replenishment, he doesn't know how to fight this battle in the future.
It seems that we have to be prepared for the possibility of fighting in the streets of Nanjing with the little devils.
Zhou Wu is now most worried about the main position of Niushou Mountain, this position holds the most important mountain pass in Jiangning, behind the position is a narrow passage, surrounded by hills, it is a good place to set up an ambush, the devils have suffered a loss before, but there is no guarantee that these devils will go straight to the Guanghua Gate under the city of Nanjing from here, because the road from here to the Guanghua Gate under the city of Nanjing is the closest.
After thinking about it, Zhou Wu still felt that there were too few troops in the main position, and he wanted to transfer the fourth regiment, but he was afraid that the left and right flanks of the position would be occupied by the devils, so he couldn't think of any good tricks for a while, so he walked around the brigade headquarters in a hurry.
Ding Ning saw Zhou Wu's appearance of being so godless and masterless, and knew that he was worried about this problem of troop allocation, no wonder, now the independent brigade only has about 5,000 troops in its hands, but it is really a little reluctant to defend such a large area as the Niushou Mountain position.
Ding Ning said: "Brigade seat, I don't think it's a way to spread the strength of the independent brigade on the position like this, when the devil attacks, no one can be contained, it is better to vacate one of the troops, see the development of the war, where the danger is to throw this unit there, so that it is possible to hold the position to the greatest extent." ” Zhou Wu listened to Ding Ning's words, thought about it, and felt that it made sense, the stall in Niushou Mountain was too big, five or six thousand people were scattered, and it had no effect, so it was better to concentrate a force on standby, and put out the fire wherever there was an emergency But now in the end, the troops are concentrated, the little devil has not launched an attack yet, Zhou Wu doesn't know which direction the devil is going to attack, this treasure is not easy to bet, if it is in the wrong direction, it is not a question of whether to hold the position, and it is possible that the independent brigade will be eaten by the little devil dumplings.
At this time, Gao Xiangfa, who was stationed at the left flank position of Niushou Mountain, called: "Brigade seat, the little devils have launched a fierce attack on our left flank position, it seems that this time they are going to play the real thing, the boss is all over the mountains, it is estimated that there are three or four thousand people, and they are desperately attacking the left flank, we have not seen the face of the little devils, and we have been killed by planes and artillery, I ask the brigade headquarters artillery support to reduce the defensive pressure on our side." ” t1706231537:
