When the fat man heard Ding Ning's arrangement, his mouth was raised high, and he asked Ding Ning: "Chief of Staff, this bullet and shell in the war operation is not long-sighted, how can you grasp it so accurately, your requirements are too high." ” Ding Ning wanted to give the fat man a good explanation, so Zhou Wu picked up the conversation: "Fat man, the chief of staff means that you try to avoid hurting the innocent cottage brothers in the process of combat operations, and capture them alive if you can, these cottage brothers are all heroes on the water, and we will be good for our future anti-Japanese war, and can help us kill more little devils." ” As soon as Zhou Wu said this, the fat man opened his mind, and hurriedly said to Zhou Wu: "Don't worry about this brigade, my fat man is still measured in this regard, after all, the brothers in the cottage are not little devils and puppet soldiers, I have a number." ” Ding Ning continued to deploy: "Lu Ping took about 200 brothers as the lead, Ge Sanmin followed with the second company, and quickly rushed to the cottage lobby in the lake by speedboat, and controlled the big boss and the third boss, if they encountered the brothers of the cottage on the way, they should be persuaded first, and they should not be fired until they had to, so as not to hurt the innocent, and the fire must be ordered by the brigade seat in person, Ge Sanmin took the radio to contact the brigade and me at any time, and he must not order to fire without authorization."
Lu Ping and Ge Sanmin hurriedly got up to accept the order, and each ran out to prepare, Ding Ning continued to issue orders to the officers who stayed: "The fat man's company and Shui Sheng's brothers respectively guard the main entrance and exit waterways of Gaoyou Lake, strictly prevent the little devils and the puppet army from taking the opportunity to attack, in view of the lack of troops, you can choose the most important waterways to deploy, and the rest of the secondary waterways can be abandoned, once they are besieged by a large number of devils, they will quickly retreat to the northwest, because there is a regiment of New Fourth Army troops to meet and support us, In case we really can't resist the attack of the little devils and the puppet army, we can join the New Fourth Army from this direction and temporarily withdraw from Gaoyou Lake, of course, this is the worst plan, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up this Gaoyou Lake, I studied the entire Yangzhou, all the places in Taizhou, and found that only except for Huai'an Hongze Lake, which is more than 100 kilometers away in the north, can be compared with Gaoyou Lake, the rest of the places are not as easy to fight guerrillas and develop and grow, Therefore, we should fight this battle in line with the plan of focusing on protecting Gaoyou Lake, and when we really have to, we should consider retreating to the northwest of the lake, and join up with the three regiments of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army that came to meet and temporarily evacuate Gaoyou Lake, and then make plans later. ” At this moment, a few scout brothers ran in outside, and they panted and reported to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, a large number of devils have launched an attack on Gaoyou Lake from the southeast, this time it is all devil troops, there are few puppet troops, and many high-speed gunboats have been added, they are not as reckless as last time, but by the firepower on the gunboats to open the way, the devils behind the tactics of taking a clipper to follow closely, step by step, have hit the place where we ambushed last time." ” Zhou Wu hurriedly jumped up and shouted loudly to the fat man: "Fatty, you go quickly, try to drag the little devil as much as possible, and buy time for Ge Sanmin's actions, Ding Ning, you immediately pull up all your reserves, and resist the devil's attack with the fat man and the aquatic people, as long as you can, immediately send someone to contact the third regiment of the New Fourth Army, and ask them to make a feint in the southeast direction of the lake immediately, and contain the little devil's attack on Gaoyou Lake, be fast, you can't delay, the life and death of our independent brigade depends on this."
Zhou Wu was so anxious that he couldn't do it, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, the little devil had already begun to move, and now there were almost no people in the southeast to defend, if the fat man couldn't arrive in time to stop it, the consequences would be very serious.
Before the big bosses came to clean up the independent brigade, the little devil attacked here with the guide of the three masters.
The fat man hurriedly jumped up and ran out, Huang Shuisheng hurriedly chased after him and went out to gather his men, Ding Ning was just about to leave, Zhou Wu stopped him: "Ding Ning, I'll go to the southeast with you, I can't let the little devil break through there, once the little devil breaks through the defense in the southeast direction, even if we quickly pacify the big boss and their nest fight, we can only be forced to withdraw from Gaoyou Lake, if we want to recapture this Gaoyou Lake from the hands of the little devil, I think it is unlikely." ” Ding Ning thought for a while and said to Zhou Wu: "Okay, since this is the case, we implore the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army to ask them to launch an attack on the little devils attacking us in the southeast direction, delay the advance of the devils, and buy precious time for our counterinsurgency and defense. ” "Okay, let's do it, I'll go to the reserve team with you immediately, and the wounded brothers will also move, and Xiao Shen will be in charge, and transfer them to the New Fourth Army in the northwest first, in case they are copied by the little devils."
Zhou Wu said while beckoning his staff officers and guards, and hurriedly followed Ding Ning to the reserve, the reserve team was in the place where the wounded brothers lived, Ding Ning ran there, couldn't take a breath, and hurriedly shouted to Shen Lina, who was busy with surgery: "Little, Xiao Shen, quickly, immediately organize the retreat of the wounded, the little devil has already come in, there are spies inside our cottage, immediately retreat to the northwest, there is a New Fourth Army there to respond, hurry, let the wounded quickly get on the boat and retreat, the sooner the better." ” Shen Lina saw that Ding Ning was in a hurry like this, it seemed that the front was a pot of porridge, and hurriedly organized the wounded to get on the boat and evacuate in the northwest direction with Miss Xiao Liu, the time was urgent, Shen Lina just took the medicines that she had worked hard in Yangzhou, and the rest of the equipment was left in the cottage, and she worked in a hurry for nearly half an hour, and finally boarded the fast boat and sailed towards the northwest of Gaoyou Lake.
At this time, Ding Ning and the three or four hundred brothers of the reserve team had already taken the fast boat to the southeast to the fat man, at this time, Zhou Wu and the others had clearly heard the very fierce gunfire over there, and it seemed that the fat man and they had already exchanged fire with the little devils.
When the fat man and Huang Shuisheng rushed to the southeast with their brothers desperately, the little devil had already broken through the original ambush position, and many dozens of brothers who stayed here all died heroically, and the bodies of the dead brothers were fished up from the water by the hateful little devil and hung on the flagpole of the gunboat, so angry that the fat man almost fainted, he held back his anger and ordered the water ghost brothers under Huang Shuisheng to jump into the water immediately and swim over, and the rest of the brothers used all the weapons in their hands to fire at the devil gunboat.
Cover the advance of the water ghost brothers.
So, all kinds of weapons in the hands of the brothers on the clipper ship roared at the devil gunboat, and sparks flew around the hull of the devil gunboat deck, and the little devils saw that someone was attacking their gunboat, so they hurriedly turned the gun muzzle and wanted to shoot at the fat man's side.
The fat man turned around when he saw the muzzle of the devil's gunboat, and hurriedly shouted at the only two mortars left under his hand: "The mortar fired at me, and the little devil's cannon blew me up."
The gunners under the fat man hurriedly set up the cannon to adjust the angle, and a brother took a mortar shell and stuffed it into the barrel, only to hear the sound of "boom", the shell whistled out, flew towards the devil's gunboat, smashed on the devil's deck, rushed up a burst of fire and smoke, and killed several little devils standing on the deck on the spot, and threw them into the lake with all their weapons and men, and drowned if they were not killed.
The second mortar shell followed, and smashed right on the moving gun barrel on the devil's gunboat, and it was blown away in an instant, and half of the cannon tube was swept out by the air wave of the shell, and fell into the lake in the distance, and disappeared without a trace of "clang" into the Gaoyou Lake.
The fat man shouted excitedly when he saw it: "Okay, these two cannons are good, go back and give you credit, and quickly beat the cannons of other little devils to me dumb" The fat man was full of confidence and won the victory.
But the answer of his gunner pulled him down from his state of excitement and confidence: "Tuanza, we have no shells, only a few incendiary bombs and smoke bombs" When the fat man heard that there were no shells, his body shook a little, and he almost fell from the boat into the lake, but fortunately he was pulled by the brothers next to him, so he didn't fall into the lake, and the fat man hurriedly said to the gunners: "Then let me bombard the devil's gunboat with incendiary bombs, and if I can't kill them, I have to scare them."
The gunners immediately brought incendiary bombs and were about to stuff them into the chambers, when the fat man suddenly stopped and shouted to them: "Quickly fire smoke bombs to cover the water ghost brothers swimming over" "Tongtong" two smoke bombs were launched, and they exploded between the devil's gunboats, forming a big smoke, covering the gunboats of the little devils tightly, and the devils couldn't see the situation on the lake clearly for a while, and hurriedly used the weapons on the boat to desperately shoot at the fat man and their side.
At this time, the water ghost brothers who quickly swam towards the devil gunboat under the water took advantage of this rare opportunity to desperately float to the surface and quickly get closer to the devil gunboat, and soon approached the devil gunboat that was hurriedly turning around, and began to smash the pit and destroy the operation on those gunboats.
The little devil on the gunboat heard the strange sound of clanging under the boat, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered to speed up, rushed towards the fat man and them, and tried to collide with the fat man's small boat with the iron armor of the gunboat, and the firepower on the gunboat could not kill these cunning people, and he had to sink his boat if he collided.
But it backfired, the devil gunboat not only couldn't raise the speed of travel, and couldn't even move, a total of six gunboats had four gunboats' propellers entangled by unknown underwater objects, and the devil on a gunboat tried to drive a fast car to forcibly break through the entangled thing, only to hear a "crackling" sound After that, the machine on the other side of the propeller emitted a stench of black smoke, which burned out the engine, and also called a fart, so angry that the devil commander on the gunboat screamed, Ordered the little devils on the boat to go into the water and catch those sabotage people on the boat, and he wanted to chop these nasty people alive to relieve his grievances. t1706231537:
