"What Luzuo said is right, for those bandit mountain kings who don't take refuge in the devils, we should try our best to win them over, and it's best to form an alliance with them, so that at least we can ensure that we don't have any worries when we are fighting with the little devils."
Ding Ning paused and continued: "In addition, such a group of bandits active on Gaoyou Lake, it is impossible for the little devils who are good at gathering intelligence not to know that their neutrality is actually a potential threat to the enemy. ” "Therefore, we must win this battle to defend the town of Fork Stream, so that we can win the respect of those bandits, and at the same time give them an invisible pressure, maybe they will take the initiative to come to negotiate with us, and then we will have the initiative."
Zhou Wu took Ding Ning's words and said seriously.
"Oh, listening to you say this, I understand, don't worry, my injuries are almost healed, I haven't touched the gun for the past two days, my hands are itching, hurry up and give me a task."
The fat man said.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning glanced at each other, smiled, and said: "Fat man, don't be anxious, when you are fighting, take advantage of this time to reunite with your wife, work hard, and give birth to a big fat boy for our independent brigade as soon as possible." ” When the fat man heard this, his face suddenly turned red, like a ripe apple on the mountain, but his mouth was not forgiving: "Look at what the chief of staff said, you and Captain Shen have been married for so long, and I haven't seen you give birth to a big fat boy." ” Ding Ning hurriedly played haha and diverted the matter, but Zhou Wu said seriously: "Old Ding, the fat man has a point, you should really work harder, the little devils invade our country, and they can't be beaten away in a year and a half, so we have to have more offspring, cultivate them well, and let them fight devils with guns like us." ” Ding Ning stood there and smirked, Zhou Wu and the fat man looked at him and laughed.
At this time, the brothers who were scouting in front came with the news that the fortifications along the river had almost been dug, and the second fortification was being repaired desperately, and it was estimated that it would be completed tomorrow.
Zhou Wu asked Ge Sanmin to dig a few more anti-artillery holes in the fortifications to reduce the casualties of the troops during the devil's shelling.
By the next morning, the weather was still so gloomy, but two pieces of news came to Zhou Wu's ears from outside.
First of all, the little devil transferred a large number of boats from the direction of Yangzhou to cross the river, and they were preparing on the shore, and they were about to attack the town.
Zhou Wu had already persuaded the common people in the town to retreat north through the teahouse owner and return after the battle, and at the same time he ordered all units of the Independent Brigade to prepare for battle and deal a heavy blow to the invading little devils at any time.
The second news is about Gaoyou Lake, Huang Shuisheng came with a large amount of grain, pork, chickens, ducks, fish eggs and other materials sent to the Independent Brigade by the cottage boss, which can be regarded as a gift to Zhou Wu for giving them machine guns, small steel cannons and the current ocean.
This time, there was also the second master of the cottage who came with Huang Shuisheng.
"Lvza, this is our second master of the cottage, second brother Lu Pinglu."
Huang Shuisheng introduced.
Zhou Wu saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a bright gaze greeting him with a fist, and he immediately saluted the other party with a military salute: "Fortunately, fortunately, I feel very honored to meet the second master today, I don't know how good the big boss is."
"Okay, the brigade is too polite, I don't hide it, I often hear the fourth brother mention you, and when I see it today, it's really extraordinary.
This time, my fourth brother and I came to your ministry on the order of the big boss to thank you for the weapons and ammunition that the brigade sent us to the cottage.
Our big boss said that he promised not to interfere when your department was desperate with the little devils, and he also brought a little thing to pay tribute to the brigade, and I hope not to dislike it. ” This Lu Ping looks like he has developed limbs, but his mind is not simple at all, and he speaks in a variety of ways, which is really impressive.
Zhou Wu nodded, since they sent chickens, ducks, fish, meat, food and drink, it is obvious that their relationship with the cottage can only go so far, it is not good to be too anxious, everything has to wait until this battle is over, otherwise it is all empty talk.
Zhou Wu hurriedly instructed the teahouse owner to prepare a few tables of banquets, and today he was the east, and he wanted to entertain these guests from Gaoyou Lake.
During the banquet in the evening, Zhou Wu took advantage of Lu Ping's drunkenness and quietly pulled Huang Shuisheng to a room next to him, where Ding Ning, Ge Sanmin, Fat Man, and Xiao Wang were all there.
"Shuisheng, you tell me the truth, what is the attitude of your cottage towards our independent brigade" Zhou Wu heard from the words of the second leader of Lu that Gaoyou Lake seemed to be divided into two factions, one faction represented by Huang Shuisheng advocated helping the independent brigade, and the other faction, led by the third master, advocated self-preservation of the lake.
There was a fierce debate between the two factions, and the attitude of the big boss and this Lu Ping is not clear, and this time they may have come to investigate the situation.
"Brigade, our cottage has different attitudes towards the independent brigade, some advocate self-preservation, some advocate taking refuge in the little devil, the eldest brother and the second brother did not express their position, although I argued with reason, I was helpless and could not say that I was in charge, I am ashamed."
Huang Shuisheng looked apologetic, he felt very sorry for Zhou Wu.
"Shui Sheng, you can't be blamed for this, this kind of thing can't be rushed, take your time, as long as we are sincere, there is a basis for success, can you find a way to let that Lu Ping stay for a few more days, let him see how our independent brigade fights devils, I think this person is very important, after he goes back, he will directly decide the position and attitude of your big boss."
Zhou Wu said.
"Traveler, this is no problem, I'll take care of it."
When he woke up the next morning, Lu Ping found that he had drunk a little too high last night, and his head was still dizzy and he couldn't even lift his legs.
Huang Shuisheng said to him: "Second brother, I think we should stay here for a few more days, anyway, the big boss told us to carefully find out the situation here, you are not feeling well now, I asked them to send you a military doctor to take a look, how about it" Lu Ping drank a lot of wine yesterday, and felt that he would definitely be scolded by his eldest brother when he went back like this, he listened to Huang Shuisheng's words and felt that it made sense, so he nodded and agreed.
Huang Shuisheng immediately found Zhou Wu and told him about the situation, Zhou Wu heard this, and hurriedly asked Shen Lina to go and show Lu Ping, and prescribe some medicine or something by the way.
After Shen Lina came over, she took a closer look at Lu Ping's face and knew that he had drunk too much, so she prescribed him some sobering and ventilation diuretic medicines.
Lu Ping saw Shen Lina, his eyes were straight, and after Shen Lina left, he said to Huang Shuisheng: "Fourth brother, that girl just now is so beautiful, they all say that there are many talents in the national army, and I see a lot of beautiful women, a military doctor is so beautiful, and the means of seeing a doctor are also powerful, it is really difficult to find in the world." ” t1706231537:
