Based on everyone's opinions, Zhou Wu immediately made the following decision.
One: A team of 500 people led by Ge Sanmin quickly passed through the junction of the two puppet armies tonight, and deliberately made a large movement to lure the Japanese army to pursue, and then Ge Sanmin took the opportunity to retreat towards Chuzhou, Tianchang's mountainous area, it is best to introduce the devil into the mountainous area, otherwise stay still, and wait to meet with the large army.
In view of the arduous task of Ge Sanmin's troops and the encirclement and interception of many Japanese troops and puppet troops, Zhou Wu specially equipped each of their 500 men with a rapid-fire weapon and a box gun, and at the same time asked Ge Sanmin to bring enough ammunition and three days' rations, as well as two German-made radio stations.
Second, all the remaining people under the leadership of the chief of staff and him launched a breakthrough operation in another direction, although the fat man's injuries were greatly improved, but there were still many inconveniences in the operation, Zhou Wu sent a platoon of brothers to the fat man, and asked him to take these people to act with Shen Lina and Liu Xiaolin, and the first regiment was temporarily commanded by Ding Ning.
In order to be able to break through successfully, Zhou Wu ordered the troops to travel lightly, throw away all unnecessary things, non-combatants and wounded and sick in the middle, Ding Ning in the front, and the first battalion was responsible for breaking the rear, and be sure to break out of the encirclement before the early morning and meet in the area of Ma'anshan.
Third, the security regiment was divided into two parts, in groups of 500 people, and placed on the left and right flanks of the large army.
In this way, a triangular formation was formed with Ge Sanmin as the head, Ding Ning as the body, and the security regiment as the flank.
As long as Ge Sanmin can successfully break out of the encirclement composed of the puppet army, then the independent brigade will have hope to break out of the encirclement, otherwise it will be annihilated.
Since Ge Sanmin's department is the key, he has to choose the best brother in the team to carry out this sharp knife mission.
Zhou Wu gave Ge Sanmin the right to pick any people in the Independent Brigade, and also ordered Zhang Ercheng to follow Ge Sanmin and bring all the shells of the Independent Brigade.
Zhou Wu told them not to be stingy with bullets and shells, the main thing now is to rush out, as long as they rush out, everything will be easy to do, otherwise it will all be over.
At this time, the brother who went to reconnoiter came back and reported that the devil and the puppet army were getting closer and closer, and the situation was very, very serious, and it was time to make a decision.
Zhou Wu immediately ordered Ge Sanmin to set off immediately, and according to reconnaissance, there was a small gap between the two troops in the northwest direction of the puppet army, although it was only about a mile, but it was enough for them.
As long as the action is concealed, properly deployed, and interspersed quickly, there will be a chance to break out of the encirclement and maneuver to the mountainous area on the side of Ma'anshan, as long as you reach the mountainous area, you can temporarily get rid of the pursuit of devils and puppet troops.
Ge Sanmin took 500 brothers to the road in a hurry, in order to avoid the little devil's reconnaissance plane in the sky, they picked a small road to walk, along the way the brothers fell and climbed, I don't know how many heels, and finally came to the junction between the puppet army after three hours.
Ge Sanmin ordered everyone to rest in hiding in the same place first, and wait for the reconnaissance personnel to go to the front to see the situation.
At this time, the puppet army has been stationed in a village, making the village chickens and dogs jumping, a mess, these traitor troops since they have the support of the little devils, suddenly become unscrupulous, don't look at them to fight devils, but bullying the people is not weak at all.
As soon as these beasts entered the village, they had no choice but to live in peace, and they drove all the people out of the village, causing the people to be displaced and wailing for days.
Ge Sanmin saw it really in the binoculars, he felt that although the puppet army was numerous, it was loosely disciplined and not strong in combat, and besides, as soon as they arrived here, they did not want to occupy the two commanding heights behind the village and the intersection of the main traffic routes, but instead put all the troops in the village, so that they would have the opportunity to blend in from among them at night.
At this time, Zhou Wu was ready to break through at any time, as long as there was movement on Ge Sanmin's side, they would immediately launch a surprise attack from another direction, and when the Japanese army moved towards Ge Sanmin, they would concentrate their forces to protrude from one part of the puppet army.
If the little devil is not fooled, he will immediately move in the direction of Ge Sanmin, they will meet in advance, concentrate on attacking the puppet army, destroy or defeat the puppet army, and then break through from there.
At night, the little devils did not have the assistance of aircraft and superior ground firepower, as long as they gritted their teeth and increased their strength, they should be able to break out of the encirclement.
Ge Sanmin looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, at this time of winter, the sky had completely darkened, and it had been snowing for the past few days, and the black sky could not see anything except snowflakes.
In the distance, the village where the puppet army was stationed was still in turmoil, and they clashed over a thatched hut that could shelter from the wind and cold, and the poor people had long since been driven out.
When the time came, Ge Sanmin and his first battalion commander led more than 200 people to the village in two ways, and Ge Sanmin found in the previous reconnaissance that they had to pass through the village if they wanted to break out of the encirclement.
In addition, it is a very wide river, the river surface is two or three hundred meters, Ge Sanmin sent people to explore the depth of the water, it is several meters deep, and it is absolutely impossible to pass without a boat.
But the area was full of bare hills, full of stones and dead grass, and there were no big trees to cut down to use as rafts, so Ge Sanmin decided to lead his troops across the village.
He wants to lead the puppet army to the two commanding heights in front of the village, as long as he holds this place, after a long time, he will definitely be able to attract the nearby little devils and the puppet army, so that he can cover Zhou Wu and them to break through smoothly.
Ge Sanmin quietly touched the entrance of the village with all the people, and those pseudo-army real bastards didn't put a few sentry posts at the entrance of the village, and they all went to the village to light a fire to keep warm.
Ge Sanmin listened to the movements of those guys, and found that they were still engaged in entertainment activities in groups of three or five, shouting at them to play cards and gamble, whether they were officials or soldiers, everyone was not high or low, and they were having fun one by one.
Seeing this situation, Ge Sanmin immediately said: "Brothers, now we are in a group of five, pounce on it at the same time, everyone moves freely, don't be afraid to make a sound, the bigger the noise, the better, if you can attract the little devil, it would be the best." ” "But don't fight with these puppet troops, after succeeding quickly retreat to the northwest, more than ten miles away, there is a valley, according to the brother who went to reconnoitre, the terrain over there is quite dangerous, two mountains and a valley, there is only a sheep intestine trail in the middle to walk, we will protrude from here, and after passing, immediately contact the brigade."
Ge Sanmin radioed this plan of action to the commander of his first battalion.
The commander of the first battalion agreed, but he was worried that there would be an ambush in that place, and if there were, it would be miserable.
Ge Sanmin thought for a while and said: "First battalion commander, you said that after we break through this time, how many brothers can survive?"
