Of course, the fat man laughed, these days he is a happy event, this has just been promoted to a battalion commander of 800 people, his wife Xiao Liu is rumored to be pregnant again, seeing that he is about to become a father, the fat man laughs with a big mouth all day long, and his spirit is not ordinarily good.
The victory of the Gaoyou Lake water battle inspired Zhou Wu's confidence to continue to persevere here, in addition to training his brothers every day, they got together almost every day to study the combat and military operations after the New Year on the map, as well as how to develop and take root in Gaoyou Lake in the future, logistics support due to the unique geographical environment of Gaoyou Lake, there should be no big problem, the stock in the cottage can be fully supported until next summer, it is really not good, The flocks of wild ducks and duck eggs in Gaoyou Lake are all high-quality food, and there are countless kinds of fish in the lake, which is enough for everyone to eat for a winter, the problem is the lack of ammunition and medicine, this is the big headache for Zhou Wu and Ding Ning, once the year is over, if the little devils come to sweep again, there is no ammunition, and the weapons in the hands of the independent brigade are all burning sticks, how can they repel the attack of the little devils On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhou Wu called all the officers above the platoon commander under his command and instructed the secretary to add a few more dishes to the soldiers below, and everyone gathered well to spend a Lunar New Year in Jiangbei, although the atmosphere of the New Year is there, but since the fall of Nanjing City and retreat to Jiangbei, the emotions of suppressed grief and indignation and defeat have plagued Zhou Wu and his brothers, whether they can gain a foothold in this Gaoyou Lake and base themselves on development next year is still a question, Especially in the past few days, Zhou Wu and they have been trying to contact the military headquarters of the 79th Army and the theater headquarters, but they have been in vain, the other party has no response, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning feel that they have lost contact with the army commander and the theater command at this time, and now they have really become a bitter child without a father and mother, whether they can survive in the future, whether they live well or not, it all depends on their own creation.
In the first month, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning hurriedly trained the puppet soldiers who were captured in the battle of Gaoyou Lake, and after some education for them, they were each incorporated into the following three battalions, so that one of the battalions of Fat Man and Ge Sanmin had a scale of more than 1,000 people, and they could catch up with a missing regiment.
In order to express their gratitude to the New Fourth Army for rescuing the Independent Brigade, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning decided to take advantage of the fact that the little devils did not come to the door to sweep in the first few days of the New Year, and first went to the New Fourth Army base in the northwest to have a look, and by the way, they learned from the experience and learned from the strengths of others, which would be helpful for their future development in Gaoyou Lake.
The Jiangbei detachment of the New Fourth Army immediately heard from the side, warmly welcoming the independent brigade of the Nationalist Army, a heroic unit of resistance against Japan, to visit the Jiangbei detachment as a guest, and the two sides agreed that Zhou Wu and his team would lead a regiment of officers of about 10 people to set off for a visit to the Jiangbei detachment's base in the countryside of Tianchang on the eighth day of the first lunar month.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning took Fatzi, Ge Sanmin, Lu Ping, and Huang Shuisheng, and a group of 20 officers under them, under the leadership of the soldiers of the New Fourth Army sent by Chen Guofu, entered the base of the Jiangbei detachment in the countryside of Tianchang very smoothly.
As soon as they entered the base area of the New Fourth Army, they were attracted by all kinds of new atmospheres inside, only to see that although this is a rural countryside, there are also many market towns, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment, rushing around for life, but in an orderly manner, the street shops are prosperous, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and there is no trace of war here, and they are greatly surprised to see Zhou Wu and Ding Ning, and they feel that the Communist Party has a set of guerrilla warfare, but they did not expect that they also have a hand in economic and local governance.
What kind of magic weapon did they have to make the countryside in this war zone so prosperous, compared with the national control area, it is simply a world of difference.
Chen Guofu and Niu political commissar as the host warmly received Zhou Wu and them, and specially arranged for them to arrange a best inn in the town as a place for Zhou Wu and their stay, on the first night of the reception banquet, the Jiangbei detachment of the New Fourth Army came to a big leader, surnamed Li, Li Zi, I heard that he was still a big leader of the Red Army before, when he was the chairman of the Western Central Soviet District, he did not participate in the famous 25,000-mile Long March, stayed in the south and insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, and almost died under the guns of the national army several times, but they all saved the danger again and again.
Today I heard that the commander of the independent brigade of the famous heroes of the Anti-Japanese War in the national army was going to visit the Jiangbei detachment, and the commander of the Li detachment specially told the political commissar Niu to treat Zhou Wu and them well, and personally put down the busy work at hand and came to Chen Guofu's third regiment to preside over this reception banquet.
During the banquet, Zhou Wu saw that the captain of the Li detachment was not so old, his figure was not so tall, and his appearance was even more ordinary, if he took off a gray cloth military uniform of the New Fourth Army, put on the clothes of the common people, and walked on the street was an ordinary fellow, Zhou Wu secretly surprised in his heart: "I didn't expect this Communist Party cadre to be so ordinary and simple, no wonder the people can mingle with them, unlike our national army officials, a small company commander dares to run rampant in the township, shouting at the common people, this is probably where their New Fourth Army is powerful. ” Chen Guofu immediately introduced Zhou Wu to the captain of the Li detachment: "Detachment leader, this is Mr.
Zhou Wu, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the 79th Army of the National Army, and this is Mr.
Ding Ning, the chief of staff of the Independent Brigade, it is they who, when Nanjing City is about to fall, desperately fight to open a bloody road, and fight with the little devil for three days and nights, and even rescued the teaching regiment near the Zhongshan Mausoleum in the Purple Mountain position, and successfully crossed the river to the north, and fought with the devil in the fortress Chajian Town outside Gaoyou Lake for two days and nights, and the loss of men and horses was six or seven percent, but they still held their positions and did not retreat, The cover ensured the safe retreat of thousands of people in the town, and finally ended up in Gaoyou Lake, surrounded by devils, traitors and various forces in Gaoyou Lake who wanted to take refuge in the devils, pacified the civil strife, cleaned up the surrenderers, repelled the sweep of Gaoyou Lake by the little devils, and greatly boosted the anti-Japanese sentiment in the surrounding areas of Gaoyou Lake. ” The captain of the Li detachment laughed and said to Zhou Wu: "I have heard for a long time that Brigade Commander Zhou Wu is very good at fighting devils, this time we met, and it really deserves its reputation, your independent brigade is in Nanjing, and it has played the prestige of our Chinese soldiers on the side of Gaoyou Lake, which is good, we have to learn from your independent brigade."
Captain Li was very modest, he opened his mouth to learn from Zhou Wu and them, and Zhou Wu felt embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said to Captain Li: "Captain Li has won the award, it is the duty of a soldier to kill devils in anti-Japanese resistance, every Chinese soldier and even every ordinary Chinese have the responsibility of killing devils, Zhou Wu just did what he should do, there is nothing to praise, to talk about learning, we have to learn from your New Fourth Army guerrilla warfare, ashamed to say, We fought with the little devils from Shanghai to Nanjing, and from Nanjing to the current Gaoyou Lake, with many defeats and few victories, and a few barely able to be regarded as victories were also miserable victories, all carried by the flesh and blood of our brothers, and there was nothing commendable in command.
Zhou Wu was more modest than the captain of the Li detachment, and gave the credit to his brothers.
As soon as the Li detachment leader heard Zhou Wu's words, he felt that the Kuomintang officer in front of him was different from other officers, and the other national army officers either took the credit for themselves, or did everything possible to brag and exaggerate their abilities, how could they give the credit to the small soldier brothers below, but the young Zhou Wu in front of him was different, and the Li detachment leader only then understood why when the other national army troops were defeated and fled in a hurry, it was this independent brigade of the national army that still held its position in the face of the repeated attacks of the little devils.
Until the fight to a soldier, so that the always arrogant devil also looked at this national army unit with admiration, had to be serious and careful to deal with, maybe this Zhou Wu has his own unique set of ways to lead the troops, it is this spirit or charm that makes the officers and soldiers of the independent brigade fearless on the battlefield, bravely kill the devil.
This Zhou Wu is a man, and he must have a good relationship.
The guests and hosts of this reception banquet both drank quite happily, and the captain of the Li detachment talked with Zhou Wu and Ding Ning after the dismissal: "Brigade Commander Zhou has a set of positional warfare with devils, these things we do not have in the New Fourth Army, and the actual conditions do not allow us to fight a large-scale positional attrition war with the little devils, we are poor, and we can't afford to consume logistical support, so we can only carry out guerrilla warfare behind the devils' enemy lines, accumulate small victories into big victories, accumulate anti-Japanese forces, unite all patriotic people, fully mobilize the people, rely on the people, Only in this way can we fight big with small and win more with less, and squeeze out the little devils who invaded China step by step and rush back to Japan. ” Zhou Wu listened to Captain Li's words, felt that it was very reasonable, and said to him together with Ding Ning: "Captain Li is right, we just arrived at the base area, we were attracted by the new atmosphere here, and your relationship with the common people is so harmonious and intimate, maybe this is the reason why you are still able to win many battles although you are many backward in weapons and equipment, and we are ashamed of ourselves in this regard."
"Zhou Wu and they are not stupid after all, they quickly grasped the problem and knew in which aspect their independent brigade was inferior to the New Fourth Army Captain Li laughed: "Brigade Commander Zhou, after all, you are the regular army of the national army, mobilizing the masses is not your strength, no wonder you, now the Japanese devils invade our country and kill my compatriots, our New Fourth Army is the same as your independent brigade of the national army, they are all side by side to resist Japan, no matter what conflicts and grievances we had in the past, but compared to the little devils, these things are nothing, I hope we can be honest with each other in the future, cooperate sincerely, complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, learn from each other, and drive the devils out of China like brothers."
The detachment leader's words were impassioned and loud, and Zhou Wu and Ding Ning nodded their heads again and again. t1706231537:
