Zhou Wu saw that the formation of the little devil was loose, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, work harder, the little devil is about to be unable to bear it, rush."
The soldiers of the national army suddenly let out a cry like shaking the earth, and the sound was like muffled thunder.
The little devils finally couldn't hold it anymore, and they retreated backwards one after another, retreating four or five miles at once before they dared to stop.
Seeing that the devil had retreated, Zhou Wu thought to himself that it was better to take it as soon as he saw it, and he couldn't chase and fight hard, so he immediately ordered everyone to stop the pursuit, turn to the defense on the spot, and let the fat man quickly count the number of people, this battle was fought so badly, and the casualties would definitely not be less.
Sure enough, although Zhou Wu was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback by the reported casualty figures.
The total number of people participating in the battle was more than 2,000, 800 killed and 800 wounded, and now only 5 or 600 can fight with guns, and the casualties are too great, and they must be evacuated immediately, otherwise this little force will not be enough to resist a fierce attack by the little devils.
"Lao Ding, it's too late, you must cross the river immediately, no matter what difficulties there are, you can't delay here anyway."
Zhou Wu said worriedly.
"Yes, it is necessary to cross the river immediately, let the wounded go first, send people to plant mines on the position, set up obstacles, and try to delay the speed of the devil to reach the ferry.
"And we can use this precious time to cross the river, as much as we can pass, the steamer is not enough, you can choose someone with good water to swim over with bamboo or branches and other things, although the Yangtze River is fast, but as long as it is close to the steamer, there should be no big problem."
Ding Ning said.
"Fatty, you immediately take a company of men to plant mines on the position, set up obstacles, there are not enough mines, replace them with grenades, and after they are buried, cross the river immediately."
Zhou Wu gave the fat man an order to break off, Ge Sanmin had just withdrawn, and the fight was too hard, and the second regiment now only had about 200 people, most of whom were still wounded.
Zhou Wu really couldn't bear to let them stay and break off, so he chose the fat man.
After all, the fat man only took over a reinforced company, and he had a lot of troops at hand, coupled with his rich combat experience, he should be able to figure out a way to complete the task after the break.
Subsequently, Zhou Wu and his party hurried to the ferry, and as soon as they arrived at the place, a battalion commander in charge of crossing the river came to report, saying that the teaching regiment had just been attacked by little devils on the way to cross the river, and one of the eight steamers was sunk and one was injured.
Hearing this news, Zhou Wu's mood was a lot heavier, seeing that the steamers used to cross the river were decreasing little by little, how to transport everyone to the other side became a big problem.
It's just past noon now, looking at this weather, the little devil's plane will definitely have to bomb in the afternoon, although it is very dangerous to cross the river at this time, but the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent.
Zhou Wu immediately ordered people to hurry on board the ship and send the evacuated wounded away, and he equipped a batch of light machine guns on the steamers at the front and rear as anti-aircraft weapons, and put the remaining mortars on the steamboats.
This arrangement can hit the little devils when their gunboats come to harass them, so that they don't dare to act recklessly.
In addition, there are two 75 mountain guns left, but they are too bulky, according to Zhang Ercheng's intentions, the cannon will be dismantled and taken away, and then I saw that the steam turbine is too little to fit, so I have no choice, so I have to bear the pain and blow up.
At this time, someone came to report that there was still a lot of diesel fuel at the ferry, and asked Zhou Wu what to do with it.
"How many more," Zhou Wu asked.
"Report to the brigade, there are still ten barrels, each barrel is about 300 kilograms, and they are all buried in the soil."
Zhou Wu's intestines are now repentant, he knew that there was so much diesel, he really should get those tanks out of the warehouse, even if he couldn't drive, he could poke them on the position as a pillbox.
Now that he has been beaten all the way by the little devils, he is really guilty, and now these diesel fuels must not be kept, and they must be burned to ensure that they do not fall into the hands of the little devils.
At this time, Zhou Wu suddenly thought of a way, he immediately ordered to plant mines in the back, and the fat man who set up obstacles to speed up, and be sure to rush to the ferry in half an hour, there is an important task.
After receiving the order, the fat man urged his subordinates to speed up, and there was no need to bury mines in some unnecessary places, and to pick up important places to bury.
What pressure thunder, trigger thunder, trip thunder, decoy thunder, trick thunder, everything a fat man can think of has gotten it.
Mines are not only on the ground, but the fat man also gives full play to the advantages of the terrain, and sets up mines made of grenades in tree branches, grass and other places, even if they can't kill the little devils, at least they can have some scruples, and they dare not attack the ferry recklessly, so as to buy time for the brothers who are preparing to board the boat and cross the river in front.
Half an hour later, when the fat man arrived at the ferry, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning were still there, and Ge Sanmin had already crossed the river by boat.
Seeing this, the fat man grinned and said: "Brigade seat, I didn't say you, you and the chief of staff are the backbone of the independent brigade, why haven't you left until now, if the little devil attacks it, can we stop it, if the independent brigade doesn't have you, it will be completely over."
If you want me to say, you are not responsible for yourself and the independent brigade. ” Zhou Wu and Ding Ning glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Fat man, it's okay, as long as you are here, I am afraid that those little devils who have caught up will call you so urgently, just to give you a rather exciting task, as long as it can be implemented smoothly, we will definitely be able to block the little devils from the ferry, and when the time comes, we can calmly cross the river." ” When the fat man heard about the exciting task, he immediately became interested.
"Brigade, what exciting tasks are there We have been beaten by the little devils all the way, and now we only have so many people left, what to do with the little devils" The fat man didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Wu's gourd.
"Fatty, you may have to work hard, dig some trenches around the ferry, don't dig too deep, about one meter, but be wider, more than two meters, and I'll be of great use later."
Zhou Wu said.
"Ah, why do you have to dig a pit again, is it possible that you have to fight with the little devil by the river again, but the trench is too shallow one meter deep," the fat man said puzzled.
"We found a lot of diesel here, and it's cheap to keep it anyway, so it's better to use it all.
When you've dug the ditch, pour me all the diesel fuel and everything you can collect that will catch fire. ” "After the last group of people left by boat, they immediately fired incendiary bombs with mortars and lit diesel fuel to form a wall of fire, blocking the little devils from the outside and making them unable to get close to the ferry, so that we can retreat calmly" Zhou Wu said the true intention of asking the fat man to dig a pit. t1706231537:
