Zhou Wu didn't want to retreat to Guanghuamen as soon as possible, with the thick and tall city walls there and the cleverly designed eight Tibetan caves to block the little devils, he had no choice but to disobey the military order, if he withdrew now, the consequences would be quite serious, and he would be shot by the military justice department on the charge of escaping.
"Lao Ding, it's impossible to retreat now, is there a good way to avoid large-scale casualties and block the attack of the little devils" Zhou Wu asked.
"No, it's a fact that the devils' combat power is stronger than ours, and now the number of devils is more than twice as many as ours, I really can't think of any way to achieve the goal you proposed, it's impossible."
Ding Ning looked helpless.
Zhou Wu had no choice but to use the radio to call the military headquarters and tell the old army commander about the situation on the front line, hoping that the army commander could think of a way to ask the superiors to retreat the troops on the Niushou Mountain position to Guanghuamen in time.
The army commander said: "Zhou Wu, it is impossible to retreat in this situation.
Up to now, among all the national army units guarding Nanjing City, only our 79th Army is still holding on to the periphery of Nanjing, and the rest of the lines have been attacked by little devils under Nanjing City. ” "Our 79th Army is a force for Governor Tang and even the chairman of the committee to guard Nanjing City, if we also withdraw, it will definitely cause panic in the whole city, don't talk about you at that time, even I will be dealt with by military law."
"I know that it is not easy for you to be on the front line, the personnel are getting smaller and smaller, and you can't be replenished, but now there is really no way, my guard battalion and all the non-combatants in the military headquarters have gone to the front line to defend the position, you hold on for two more days, the chairman and Chief Tang are mobilizing heavy troops in Anhui, Jiangsu and other places to rush to the aid of Nanjing, we have held out in Shanghai, is it not possible in Nanjing?"
Zhou Wu originally wanted to tell the old army commander that this Nanjing is different from Shanghai, in Shanghai, the national army has strong combat effectiveness, high morale, and still fought so hard, and finally forced to retreat from the front line, now the national army troops around Nanjing are retreating from the Shanghai battlefield, running around for days, plus being chased by little devils all the way, morale is very low, it is difficult to hold Nanjing by these national army brothers alone, as long as the devils break through at any point, it will immediately cause a chain reaction, leading to the collapse of the entire Nanjing front, and thus the city will be broken and fallen.
But Zhou Wu listened to the old army commander's helpless tone, so he left what he just said in his heart, he thought to himself that the army commander is not easy, he is so old, and it is not easy to run around on the battlefield.
Zhou Wu put down the radio and ordered all units of the Independent Brigade to continue to hold on to their respective positions, and not to retreat without an order, and at the same time told Gao Xiangfa that they must strictly prevent the sneak attack of the little devils, and there is no need to report everything to the brigade headquarters.
After Gao Xiangfa received Zhou Wu's order, he ordered the remaining brothers of the Fourth Regiment to shrink their positions and rest assured, give up some places that did not have to be defended, and concentrate on holding the three passes of the left flank position, so as to strictly prevent the little devils from infiltrating Niushou Mountain from the left flank position.
Strange to say, just when Gao Xiangfa and them were shrinking their positions and concentrating on defense, the little devils who had fiercely attacked the left flank position before retreated like a tide.
Gao Xiangfa was puzzled, hurriedly picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the retreating formation of the little devils, and found that they did not have the slightest panic of defeat, and they all slowly retreated backwards in an orderly manner.
Gao Xiangfa muttered in his heart: Why did the little devils suddenly give up the attack on the left flank, could it be that they all turned to attack the main position of Niushou Mountain The rumbling sound of artillery from the direction of the main position just now shows that it has already started over there, it seems that this group of devils in front of him is cunning and cunning, and it is not easy to deal with, he has to keep an eye on it carefully, and strictly prevent the devils from coming up with any new tricks later.
Gao Xiangfa instructed his brothers to strengthen the vigilance of the front and rear of the position, the left and right sides, and the password must be changed every hour.
After arranging these things, Gao Xiangfa saw that this devil on the position would not attack for a while, so he quickly found a place to sleep, he has been busy preparing for war for the past two days, and he has not slept well, and this time he has to make up for it.
The situation on the main position on Zhou Wu's side is a little bad, the little devil's attack is becoming more and more fierce every time, and the fat man's regiment has been beaten to the point that there are only twenty or thirty brothers left who can fight with guns, and the rest are either killed or seriously injured and unable to fight.
Although the second battalion of special agents directly under the brigade headquarters and Ge Sanmin arrived at the position in time, the casualties are still unabated, the second battalion of special agents has almost half of the casualties, and the second regiment also has a lot of casualties.
Looking at a large number of little devils wearing yellow winter military uniforms under the position, desperately rushing towards the position with the 38 big covers, Zhou Wu thought to himself that the little troops at hand could withstand a few attacks, if all the brothers on the main position fought out, what would he do Just when Zhou Wu was worried, suddenly there was a dense sound of gunfire in the direction of the left flank position, Zhou Wu's heart was stunned, could it be that the little devils attacked on all fronts, didn't there be no guns on the left flank position just now, why is it ringing again now, what happened over there Gao Xiangfa had just been lying down on the position for a few minutes, when a patrol sentry hurriedly ran over to report: "Report to the regiment commander, there is a group of unidentified national army troops in front, they say it is from the 11th Division, I can't be sure, I have already asked the brothers to stop them and come back to report to you." ” "Oh, how many of them came to our left flank position, what's the matter" Gao Xiangfa suddenly became alert, at this time, what is the 11th Division going to do, is it because the main position is in danger to come to the rescue "There are not many people, about a hundred people, who speak fluent Chinese, and also hold a handwritten letter from Master Yu, you see."
As he spoke, the brother handed over the letter.
Gao Xiangfa didn't recognize Yu Shiming's notes, and he couldn't understand it anyway, so he hurriedly put the letter in his pocket: "Let's go, let's go and see" Gao Xiangfa came over there, and saw a group of hundreds of people wearing national army steel helmets and wearing the uniforms of the Central Army standing there negotiating with the sentinels.
Because of Gao Xiangfa's order, those sentry brothers didn't care what the captain of the national army who took the lead said, they just said two words: "No."
"If you make that captain's face red, you're going to have a seizure.
Gao Xiangfa immediately rushed over, and looked at the leading captain of the national army, this kid was wearing a straight Central Army uniform, and even the helmet on his head was brand new, Gao Xiangfa muttered in his heart, when did the 11th Division become so rich, shouldn't it, I had two fights with the little devil opposite two days ago, and they were all stained with blood, At this time, where is there such a brand-new military uniform to change Gao Xiangfa felt puzzled, and he had to ask carefully to rest assured.
Gao Xiangfa looked at the face of the captain of the national army and asked him: "You said that you are from the 11th Division, then what about the relationship between our independent brigade and your division?"
Gao Xiangfa wanted to test them, if it was fake, wouldn't he be exposed immediately Unexpectedly, the captain of the national army answered fluently, and there was no pause in between.
If this answer is changed to another person, he may be about to let these people go, but Gao Xiangfa is worthy of being a regiment commander, don't look at his low culture, and his appearance is quite rough, but in this regard, his mind can be fine, as soon as he heard this captain's officer's answer, he doubted, why does this kid know more than me, you are a military commander t1706231537:
