As soon as Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly ordered his staff officers to quickly go and find the chief of staff and the fat man, Shui Sheng, and Ge Sanmin.
Soon, Ding Ning and the others hurried to Zhou Wu's place, and when everyone came, they all knew in their hearts that it must be the little devil who had moved, otherwise Zhou Wu would not have summoned them so anxiously.
Zhou Wu first asked Shui Sheng: "Shui Sheng, are your brothers from the Water Ghost Team properly arranged?"
Shui Sheng replied: "I didn't drink alcohol last night, and I arranged some water ghosts at those forks and waterways overnight, but there are still half of the waterways and forks that have not been arranged, so I will go and arrange them immediately."
"Shui Sheng wants to leave, go to the lake and quickly arrange the water ghost to ambush, otherwise it will be too late.
Zhou Wu immediately said to him: "Shui Sheng, then you hurry up and set up an ambush, and immediately send someone to inform Lu Ping, so that he can immediately order the brothers of the cottage to enter a state of combat readiness and listen to my orders at any time." ” Shui Sheng immediately ran out to arrange, Ding Ning hurriedly asked Zhou Wu: "Brigade, could it be that the little devil has come" "Yes, I just received news from the scouts that the devils are rushing towards Gaoyou Lake in six directions at the same time, and they have collected a large number of boats and small motorboats, ready to fight with us in a water battle."
Zhou Wu said.
"Ah, the little devil is coming so fast, then my fat man has to hurry up and follow the aquatic life, Lvza, you're okay here, if it's okay, I'll have to rush over there immediately."
The fat man who was responsible for acting with the aquatic ghosts heard that the devil was coming, and he was so anxious that he hurried back to arrange the arrangement, he drank a lot of wine last night, and he was still asleep in the morning, so he was called up by the staff officer, and his head was still swollen when he came, and now when he heard that the little devil was coming, he immediately sobered up more than half.
"Okay, fat man, you hurry up and prepare with the aquatic life, pay attention to the water war, you don't know much about water warfare, you must listen to the opinions of the aquatic life, fat man, you can't poke the basket for me at this time, don't rely on the old to sell the old, put the old qualifications, you have to humbly learn from the young juniors the experience of water warfare."
Zhou Wu told the fat man that he knew that the fat man was fighting positional warfare and defense, but he didn't know anything about the water battle with a small boat in this Gaoyou Lake, so he was afraid that he would put on his old qualifications, not listen to Huang Shuisheng's command, make nonsense, make a big basket, and give the fat man a preventive shot first, so as to save him from making mistakes at that time.
When the fat man heard this, his mouth cracked: "Brigade, don't worry, I don't understand water warfare, of course I have to ask the aquatic brothers for advice." ” As soon as the fat man left, Zhou Wu immediately said to Ge Sanmin: "Ge Sanmin, you hurry up to the cottage to find Lu Ping, let him act quickly, don't rub it anymore, those brothers in the cottage are usually used to being the king of the mountain freely, I can't see that they can move quickly, you hurry over and assist Lu Ping to bring the team to the designated location, if the brothers in the cottage can't keep up with your pace, you can reach the designated location first, and then send someone to pick them up."
Zhou Wu was worried that the mountain kings in Gaoyouhu Cottage would not be able to keep up with Ge Sanmin's marching speed, which would drag the brothers of Ge Sanmin's second company, unable to complete the predetermined plan, and even affect the entire battle situation.
Ge Sanmin also left in a hurry, and Zhou Wu said to Ding Ning again: "Ding Ning, how many people are there in the reserve team you have now?"
"Brigade seat, I carefully counted last night, there are more than 200 brothers in our independent brigade who have returned from injury, this is a baby, they are all veterans with rich combat experience, and the rest of the non-combatants have forty or fifty, and there are more than three hundred people from the cottage, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, I chose a hundred or so that they can barely make do, and the rest will all be cottaged, let them run errands for the big boss, deliver oral messages, and select more than 100 cottage brothers plus our brothers to form two companies, haha, brigade, Now the number of my reserve team is much larger than that of Fat Man and Ge Sanmin, and I scattered the brothers from the cottage into a group of five or six people, with a veteran of an independent brigade as the team leader, responsible for commanding them.
Ding Ning said to Zhou Wu, although the reserve team is composed of brothers who have returned from injury, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, they are some veterans who crawled out of the pile of dead, and one can be worth ten recruits.
"Okay, Ding Ning, then you also hurry up and prepare, I will take a few staff officers to the fat man, we are all used to fighting positional warfare on land, and now it is the first time to encounter a water battle in this kind of big lake, and it will be beneficial for us to deal with little devils in the future, Ding Ning, I have thought a lot in the past two days, and I am also studying why the weapons and equipment of our national army are not much worse than those of little devils, but I always lose to little devils, I studied and studied, and summarized a few factors myself, I will talk about it, you can help analyze it."
Zhou Wu said to Ding Ning.
"Yes, I'm also thinking about this problem, our national army's equipment is worse than that of the little devils, but it is better than those of the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of the Communist Party, and the New Fourth Army is not known how many times better, but why our national army has been repeatedly defeated by the little devils There are many reasons, I also thought about several of them, you say it first, see if we think the same" Ding Ning agreed with Zhou Wu's idea, but he didn't say it first, wait for Zhou Wu to talk about it first.
Zhou Wu saw that the time was a little tight, and hurriedly said to Ding Ning simply: "Ding Ning, I have summarized a few points, one is that there are many factions in our national army, and things that fight each other often occur, which greatly restricts the combat effectiveness of the national army, and there are too many spies in those military commanders and central commanders, which makes some national army officers timid and too cautious, and the second is that our national army is too rigid in fighting, and there are only so many axes, and they are swarming to engage in group charges when the situation is favorable, regardless of whether there is fierce firepower in front of them, This is very easy to cause a large number of casualties among the troops, directly weaken the combat effectiveness of the troops, in defense or rigid hold the position, and fight a war of attrition with the devils, once the logistics is cut off by the devils, the whole line collapses, out of control, and the little devil's tactics are flexible and changeable, and good at frontal feints, the flanks are quickly interspersed with roundabouts, often many of our national army troops are surrounded and eaten by this method of warfare, coupled with the little devil's ability to maneuver much faster than our national army, which makes the devil like a tiger with wings, rapid mobility, Quickly surround and eat the national army in the encirclement, putting aside the national hatred, I Zhou Wu is quite admired by this tactical method of operation of the devil army, and it is also something we must learn with an open mind, the third is that the fighting will of the devil soldiers is generally stronger than that of our national army soldiers, and the kind of strength that screams as soon as the battle is fought Our national army troops do not have, we often lose this kind of winning battle momentum on the battlefield in Shanghai, and now although we have experienced the inhumane Nanjing Massacre, I think this fighting will and momentum still need to be improved, This is also the most important place for us to lose to the little devils, the backwardness of weapons and equipment can be made up for with correct tactics and high will to fight, and our national army is precisely missing the two major elements that determine the outcome of the battle, relying only on the flesh and blood of the brothers to fight against the little devils, there is no reason to be invincible, and our old rival Communist Red Army happens to have these two elements at the same time, so it can still achieve a proud victory like the victory of Pingxingguan in the case of absolute disadvantage in equipment, It greatly encouraged the confidence of the whole of China to resist Japan, and this is what we must learn from humbly in the future, only in this way can we survive in the treacherous environment surrounded by wolves, and there is no other way to develop and grow.
Zhou Wu said a lot, and completely said the opinion in his heart.
Ding Ning nodded incessantly after hearing this, and he said: "What you said is similar to what I thought, only by completely giving up the previous tactics of fighting positional warfare and fighting attrition with devils, humbly learning guerrilla warfare tactics, and improving the fighting will and fighting momentum of our brothers, can we gain a foothold here and gradually develop and grow."
After this battle is over, I think we can send people to the newly established New Fourth Army outside to have a look and learn from their experience in guerrilla warfare; they used to be guerrillas under the heavy encirclement of our national army, but they were able to persevere under such difficult conditions, and there must be something outstanding in them.
Now that we are all national soldiers, there is nothing wrong with going into contact with them.
Ding Ning proposed to learn guerrilla tactics from the New Fourth Army in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the independent brigade units and survive around this Gaoyou Lake.
Zhou Wu immediately agreed, and at this time, the scouts in front came to report again: "Brigade seat, the little devils have rushed to the ferry port by the lake, and are boarding the boat there, preparing to march to the lake, among which they have more than 20 motorboats, equipped with heavy machine guns and small cannons, these small motorboats are extremely fast, and they are driving quickly towards Gaoyou Lake. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard this, he immediately walked out of the house with Ding Ning, and Ding Ning hurried to the rear of the cottage to prepare the reserves, and Zhou Wu and the rest of the staff officers got on the clipper sent by the aquatic life together, and drove towards the fork in the waterway in front of him in a hurry.
Along the way, Zhou Wu was dazed by the reeds in the lake that were almost the same as the river forks and harbors, although the boats sent by the aquatic life were small, they were quite light and fast, and the cottage brothers who were familiar with the waterway path led the way, Zhou Wu's small boat quickly arrived at the fat man in front.
The fat man was busy with his brothers in the reedy boat, and when he saw Zhou Wu and them coming, he hurriedly reported to Zhou Wu: "Luzao, you came just in time, the aquatic brothers just arranged for those water ghost brothers to ambush in the water at the fork over there, you see, it is our brothers in the cottage who are swaying the reed poles over there, and it is our brothers in the cottage who are ambushing underwater."
The fat man pointed to the water at the big fork in front of him and introduced to Zhou Wu. t1706231537:
