Although the fat man was unhappy in his heart, he still didn't dare to disobey Zhou Wu's order, so he had to order his company and Huang Shuisheng's brothers to retreat step by step from here, and retreat to the reeds dotted in the middle of the lake, and play a good game of cat and mouse with the little devil opposite.
Ding Ning took the brothers of the reserve team to break off, and just as the brothers of the independent brigade were about to retreat into the lake, the scout brothers who were in charge of reconnoitering the enemy situation rowed a fast boat and flew over to report to Zhou Wu: "Report to the brigade, the little devils have retreated, they have retreated" The scout brothers reported with an excited expression.
"Ah, the devils retreated, why did they retreat suddenly" Zhou Wu still didn't believe his ears.
Now this situation is very favorable to the devils, although they have a few gunboats that were made to lie on their stomachs by the fat people, and they were also blown up and sunk by Huang Shuisheng's water ghost brothers, but it did not hurt the vitality of the devils, as long as it was a few more hours, those devil gunboats lying on their stomachs could immediately clear the obstacles wrapped around the propeller propellers, and continue to drive towards Gaoyou Lake, followed by a large number of devil soldiers, there were two or three thousand people, and the devils had an absolute advantage in the number of people.
Why didn't they use such a good fighter, but took the initiative to retreat and evacuate Gaoyou Lake Zhou Wu couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly took the binoculars and stood on the bow of the boat to look at the devil's side, only to see that the little devil over there had already driven the boat to the outside of Gaoyou Lake, and the retreat speed was extremely fast, as if something big had happened on the shore over there, and he rushed to the rescue.
Ding Ning took the binoculars and carefully observed it for a while, and said to Zhou Wu happily: "Brigade, it's a good thing, a good thing, now we can be saved and win a battle by the way." ” Zhou Wu was puzzled: "Ding Ning, He Xizhi had the sudden retreat of the little devil last time, and now there is a more fierce attack, could it be that they still tricked us into chasing after us this time, and then took the opportunity to kill the generals from the halfway through, and ate up the team we chased after, and there were no bones left."
"Fei Ye, Fei Ye, Brigade Seat, listen, there is a very fierce gunfire over there, it must be that the little devil on the shore was suddenly attacked by our friendly army, and the devil leader couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly and violently attacked Gaoyou Lake's team to retreat and rescue."
Ding Ning analyzed very confidently.
Zhou Wu listened carefully to the gunfire over there, and felt that Ding Ning was right, so he hurriedly called the fat man, his ears were bright, and asked him to listen carefully to what was going on with the gunshots over there The fat man listened to it for a while, and there was an incredible look on his face, seeing that Zhou Wu and Ding Ning didn't know why, they hurriedly asked the fat man: "How do you hear anything famous?"
"Brigade seat, this gunshot doesn't seem to be from our national army, because those weapons are very miscellaneous, Hanyang made old sleeves, twenty box cannons, three or eight big covers, medium formal, Czech-style have, listening to the machine gun doesn't seem to be Czech-style, but it's similar to the sound of firecrackers set off during the New Year, I don't remember which unit in our national army has such miscellaneous weapons and equipment" The fat man's face was embarrassed, the fat man's ears were generally quite bright, and there were very few things that could stump him, What the hell is this friendly army reinforcing the independent brigade in the southeast Zhou Wu and Ding Ning thought for a while, and suddenly the two of them thought of a team almost at the same time, and shouted out from their mouths together: "Yes, that's right, it's Lao Chen, it's the New Fourth Army."
At this moment, two clippers came from the northwest direction at the same time, and there were three brothers in the cottage on one boat, they seemed to be sent by Ge Sanmin and Lu Ping to report to Zhou Wu, Ge Sanmin brought a note to Zhou Wu, with only a few words on it: "The internal fighting is calm, and the team is coming" The three people on the other boat, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning, didn't know each other, but they still rowed over quickly, and when they were more than ten meters away from the bow of Zhou Wu's boat, they spoke: "Is it Brigadier Zhou Wu of the Independent Brigade of the National Army in front of us, we were sent by the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and we have important things to report to Brigadier Zhou Wu."
Zhou Wu hurriedly sent someone to invite these guests of the New Fourth Army onto the boat, and one of the young men reported to Zhou Wu: "Brigade Commander Zhou Wu, I am Lu Xiaojiang, the commander of the third battalion and third company of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and our Deputy Regiment Commander Chen sent me to inform you that the third regiment of the Jiangbei Detachment of our New Fourth Army has begun to attack the devils and puppet troops besieging Gaoyou Lake, and the superiors also ordered other troops of the New Fourth Army to feint in the direction of Yangzhou and Taizhou, creating a false impression of attacking Yangzhou and Taizhou, forcing the devils and puppet troops to withdraw from Gaoyou Lake, The gunfire over there is the gunfire of our three regiments and the little devils on the shore, Deputy Regiment Commander Chen hopes that Brigade Commander Zhou Wu can insert it from behind the devils, and we all attack in front and back together to drive these little devils out of the area around Gaoyou Lake, so I was sent to coordinate and liaise. ” When Zhou Wu heard this, he guessed correctly, the little devils retreated in such a hurry because their back butt was raided by the New Fourth Army, and a large number of New Fourth Army troops were found to be moving in the direction of Yangzhou Taizhou, and the devil head stationed in Yangzhou City couldn't sit still, and hurriedly ordered the devil troops besieging Gaoyou Lake to quickly retreat, rescue the devil soldiers on the shore and return to Yangzhou City, this is good, the battlefield situation is immediately twisted, and the independent brigade should take the opportunity to cover up and kill it, and insert a knife in the back butt of the little devil, The future devils and puppet army were all driven out of Gaoyou Lake It's really a double happiness, Ge Sanmin and Lu Ping have just calmed down the infighting, and the New Fourth Army here has made a timely move to the back of the devil's buttocks, and the independent brigade will not attack at this time, let alone when Zhou Wu immediately ordered: "Fat man, you lead a company and aquatic students to catch up quickly, the sooner the better, try to drag those retreating little devils, as many as you can intercept, Ding Ning and I will follow with the reserve brothers, and after Ge Sanmin and them arrive, launch a general attack to annihilate the intercepted devils, and you can't throw devils and slip through the net."
The fat man agreed, and hurriedly rowed with Huang Shuisheng to chase the little devil desperately, and they were quite familiar with the waterways in this lake, in order to catch up with the retreating little devil boats as soon as possible.
Shui Sheng suggested that the soldiers be divided into two ways, one was led by the fat man to chase along the waterway where the devils retreated, and the other was led by Shui Sheng himself, who specially took a shortcut to chase the little devils, and tried to intercept the devils' ships on the halfway of the devils' retreat, and entangled them to the death, and when Zhou Wu and Ge Sanmin and their large troops arrived, they launched a general attack to completely annihilate these intercepted little devils.
The fat man immediately agreed with Huang Shuisheng's suggestion, although he was higher than Huang Shuisheng in terms of qualifications and position, but in this Gaoyou Lake, he was still quite humble to listen to the opinions of expert Huang Shuisheng, after all, this is a big thing in the war, and there is no time to be sloppy and raise the bar.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning were a little late, waiting for Ge Sanmin's large army to arrive, and he estimated from the news brought by Ge Sanmin that after the internal fighting was settled, a large number of cottage brothers would definitely join Ge Sanmin's side.
In this way, even if some brothers are left to guard the cottage lobby, a considerable number of brothers can join the independent brigade, so that the number is estimated to be more than 1,000 brothers, plus the three or four hundred brothers in these reserves on hand, almost more than 2,000, so that the devil fleet that surrounds and attacks the fat man in front of them will have a guarantee of annihilation.
Huang Shuisheng took his fifty or sixty brisk boats to take a short path towards the retreating little devil fleet, in order to be able to catch up with the retreating devil boats, Shui Sheng asked his brothers to row desperately to intercept the devils before they ran out of Gaoyou Lake.
The brothers of the cottage were desperate, originally two brothers were responsible for rowing in a small boat, and now in order to speed up the speed, the other two brothers also helped row the boat, this is good, the speed of the boat is much faster, and it is like an arrow from the string to the devil side, and the reeds next to him have quickly retreated backwards, and finally after chasing for twenty minutes, Huang Shuisheng saw the retreating devil fleet.
It's just that the devil fleet he saw was not a big force, just those that were left behind, Huang Shuisheng thought to himself, didn't the brigade seat say it, how much can be intercepted, rush over first, intercept these devil ships first.
The little devil who was retreating did not expect that there would be a chaser from Gaoyou Lake on the way, and hurriedly under the command of a devil captain, lying on the bow of the boat with various weapons to the brothers who rushed over, "crackling" and shooting, the little devil's small steel cannon and mortar also "all together" fired at the water and fired fiercely, and the cannonball exploded in the water and set off the waves on the spot overturned the two small boats that rushed in the head, The four cottage brothers were blown to pieces, turned into pieces of flesh and blood scattered in the icy lake and died, and the other four brothers who fell into the water were also injured to varying degrees, but they did not retreat, but continued to swim desperately towards the devil's boat in the water.
The little devils on the boat saw that there were brothers swimming towards them in the water, and hurriedly shouted and shot at the water with crooked machine guns, and the two brothers who were swimming in the head were hit by the devil's machine gun bullets on the spot, and soon sank to the bottom of the lake, but the two brothers next to them still did not retreat, desperately gritted their teeth and swam towards the devil's boat.
Seeing this scene, Huang Shuisheng hurriedly ordered his brothers to concentrate their firepower to cover the two brothers who were desperately swimming towards the devil's boat, and the firepower of the devil soldiers was attracted by Huang Shuisheng's brothers, and he couldn't take care of the two brothers in the water for the time being, and the two brothers took this opportunity to sprint desperately for a distance, and finally one person grabbed the gang of the two devil boats, took out a knife from his body and desperately dug a hole in the bottom of the boat.
The little devil on the boat heard the movement, hurriedly came to check, and was pulled into the water by a brother who stretched out his hand and pulled him into the water, this brother pulled a melon grenade from the devil's waist, opened the fuse, and threw it into the devil's boat, and the grenade with white smoke rolled back and forth in the little devil's cabin, making the little devils on the boat scream wow-wow-wow.
Two or three seconds later, with an earth-shattering loud noise, the ship full of more than 20 little devils was blown into two by a grenade, and the broken planks were lifted into the air together with the bloody corpses of the devils, and then quickly fell, falling into the lake like dumplings.
The brother who threw the grenade had already dived underwater, swam a long way away, and poked his head out of the water after the explosion. t1706231537:
