When Zhou Wu heard this, he stood up from his chair happily and said to Chen Guofu: "Thank you brothers of the New Fourth Army for your help, it seems that you can decide to send personnel to the independent brigade this time, it must have taken a lot of twists and turns." ” Chen Guofu smiled slightly again, and said to Zhou Wu: "Brigadier Zhou Wu, how do you know that we have gone through a lot of twists and turns?"
"Haha, your army has always been equal to officers and soldiers, and when it comes to major events, the political commissar has to convene the party committee to collectively decide, and I still know this."
Zhou Wu said to Chen Guofu with a smile.
Chen Guofu listened to Zhou Wu's words, nodded and said: "Yes, this time to be able to pass this matter at the meeting, it all depends on our detachment leader's final decision, otherwise it will never pass, the minority who support the dispatch of military personnel to your independent brigade, I am also unable to support it alone, fortunately, the detachment leader finally knew about this matter, he felt that this matter was beneficial to our New Fourth Army to fight for anti-Japanese forces and unite the united front.
In the form of an order from above, the Third Regiment was asked to send a contingent of about 20 cadres of grassroots platoons and companies to the Independent Brigade to help your unit conduct guerrilla warfare training. ” When Zhou Wu heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Chen Guofu: "Great, we are looking forward to your New Fourth Army sending people, Chen Guofu, I have also prepared a training team composed of officers at the platoon and company level of our Independent Brigade of the National Army, and I plan to go to your New Fourth Army to help you train regular bayonet fighting and other tactical training, these officers are all veterans who fought all the way from Luodian, Shanghai, and they have rich combat experience, almost everyone has the lives of more than a dozen little devils in their hands, I don't know if your department welcomes it."
When Chen Guofu heard this, he quickly stood up, looked at Zhou Wu in surprise, and said excitedly: "That's great, we are also asking for it, these brothers are treasures, killing little devils is not ambiguous, it seems that military skills and tactics are not bad, just to help train recruits for us, thank you so much Brigade Commander Zhou, you think so thoughtfully, on the other hand, we are not very enthusiastic about this mutual military exchanges, some comrades still buckle big hats, say something opportunistic, party spirit is not pure or something like that, This time, if the Independent Brigade sends an officer training team to our side, it will just let those comrades who say strange things see that the national army is different from the national army, and there are also well-known heroes in the national army who fight devils. ” The guests and hosts had a very happy conversation, but before they knew that it was already noon, Zhou Wu hurriedly instructed the secretary to prepare a few tables of banquets, and invited all the officers who Ding Ning and the fat man planned to go to the New Fourth Army.
During the banquet, Zhou Wu and Chen Guofu talked more and more energetically, I really wanted to know each other a few years earlier, during the banquet, Chen Guofu said: "We heard about the prestige of Brigade Commander Zhou's fighting devils in Shanghai, you can only rely on an independent brigade of less than 10,000 troops to resist the planes in the sky, warships on the sea, and a large number of well-equipped Japanese elite field troops on the ground for three months, and also eliminated many elite devils who are known as invincible in Asia in the battle, It was really remarkable to force the Devil Headquarters to turn to attack Baoshan and forcibly land in the direction of Jinshan in Hangzhou Bay. ” "Every time our Li detachment commander has a meeting with us, he has to cite your classic combat examples, especially in Luodian, while fighting a position of attrition war with the little devils, you are also different from other national army units to stick to the rules, take the initiative to attack small troops, and use the tactics of harassment, sneak attack, and cutting off the devil's supply of ammunition to hit the little devils hard, our Li detachment commander praised these combat examples, this is quite a classic and successful guerrilla tactic, it seems that the national army is also an extraordinary guerrilla warfare talent."
"Captain Li also warned us that we should learn from your independent brigade the essence of positional warfare and movement warfare, and if an army has the essence of these two combat methods at the same time, coupled with the heartfelt support of the people in the base areas, then it is no exaggeration to say that it can defeat our sworn enemy, the Japanese devils, and those two dogs and puppet armies who are fighting for the tiger, no matter how arrogant and arrogant they are now."
Chen Guofu praised the Independent Brigade and Zhou Wu, and when he heard it, the fat man was complacent, and said with a big mouth: "Brigade seat, haha, I didn't expect our Independent Brigade to be so famous outside, even the New Fourth Army knows about our war in Shanghai, and they really know it."
The fat man said as he looked at Chen Guofu and them very confidently.
Zhou Wu listened to Chen Guofu's words, but there was not much joy, he said to Chen Guofu: "Chen Guofu, your Li detachment leader has won the award, defending the land against the enemy, protecting the family and defending the country is the duty of our soldiers, Zhou Wu and the independent brigade are also lucky, in Nanjing was not surrounded by little devils, fortunately crossed the Yangtze River, in the battle of Jiangbei Xiajian Town, almost wiped out the whole army, fortunately, the brothers of Gaoyou Lake came to the rescue in time to survive until now, in Gaoyou Lake twice in a row by the little devils to ignore the end, full of flaws, Fortunately, thanks to the timely rescue of your New Fourth Army, we were able to save our troops, which is a shame. ” Zhou Wu was telling the truth, since the independent brigade crossed the river and lost contact with the military headquarters and the war zone, it has always been at a disadvantage in the struggle against the little devils, especially in the battle of the town of Xuanjian in Jiangbei, which can be described as the biggest failure; at that time, if it had set off a few days earlier and quickly interspersed with northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu from the direction of Tianchang, the independent brigade would not have at least ended up in the situation where it is now in Gaoyou Lake.
Because the little devils had not yet captured those places in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui at that time, and the military headquarters and the theater headquarters were still in Suxian County, northern Anhui, it should not be difficult to find the military headquarters and the theater headquarters with the situation of the independent brigade at that time.
Fortunately, the military headquarters and the theater of operations are not in touch, and the independent brigade is like an orphan who has lost his parents, falling into Gaoyou Lake with the little devils and the puppet army, and is still facing the pinching attacks of the little devils and puppet troops in the direction of Yangzhou, Nanjing, and Taizhou at any time After the meal, Zhou Wu left Chen Guofu behind, and he had a long talk with Chen Guofu, and Chen Guofu readily agreed.
Zhou Wu asked the chief of staff Ding Ning to stay, and the fat man and they hurried to prepare for the preparations, and the day after tomorrow they would set off with Chen Guofu and them to the New Fourth Army to help them train recruits.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Guofu said to Zhou Wu and Ding Ning: "Brigadier Zhou Wu, what are your plans in the future, do you just stay in this Gaoyou Lake and be the king of the mountain for the rest of your life?"
Zhou Wu: "Chen Guofu, I won't tell you, it is still a little difficult for our independent brigade to protect itself, and we haven't thought so far ahead, the most important thing at present is to gain a firm foothold in Gaoyou Lake, and then talk about development when there is an improvement."
Of course, Zhou Wu could hear the meaning of Chen Guofu's words, but now the situation is unclear, and the situation in the military headquarters and the war zone is not clear, so it is not easy to talk nonsense, so Zhou Wu chose to be cautious.
Chen Guofu was a man, he had been working underground in Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places for many years, working under the white terror every day, with his head pinned to his belt, and he was almost arrested by Kuomintang spies several times, and he came into contact with all kinds of people every day, and he could basically distinguish the truth and lies at once.
After many years of experience walking on the tip of a knife, he soon knew that Zhou Wu's words were insincere, and he still had illusions in his heart, and hoped that his 79th Army headquarters and theater headquarters would contact their independent brigade, and he still had this sense of superiority of the regular army of the national army, thinking that the anti-Japanese killing devils had to rely on their national army troops, and the anti-Japanese armed forces like the New Fourth Army were at best auxiliary to the national army's anti-Japanese war and could not play the role of a mainstay.
It is no wonder that Zhou Wu has this kind of thought, after all, he is a regular soldier of the national army who has received many years of political education from the Kuomintang, although he is unambiguous in fighting devils, but it is difficult for him to quickly change his values and thoughts under the influence of the education and environment he has received since childhood.
Chen Guofu was very tolerant, he thought that as long as a Kuomintang soldier like Zhou Wu could resolutely resist Japan, it was enough to kill devils in the same trench as the New Fourth Army, and there was no need to be anxious about him, and it was of course the best to win him over to the side of the New Fourth Army, but he should not be too forced, which was not good.
But before Chen Guofu came to the Gaoyou Lake Independent Brigade, the detachment commander specially talked to him once, and asked him to probe Zhou Wu's tone, it is best to touch his mind, and strive to win the independent brigade to the side of the New Fourth Army, and explain to Chen Guofu, don't be too anxious, the work can be done slowly, the most important thing is to let Zhou Wu and them rest assured, the New Fourth Army is sincere, and it is definitely not a factional dumping and malicious annexation in the national army.
Don't hurt the hearts of Zhou Wu and the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade because of their eagerness, that would be bad.
Chen Guofu heard Zhou Wu's cautious words at this time, and felt that the time was not yet ripe, so he hurriedly said to Zhou Wu: "Brigadier Zhou Wu, I mean that you need the help of our New Fourth Army now, just put it forward, as long as we can do it, we will definitely help, we are all brothers in the same trench, there is nothing that cannot be said, the previous things have passed, don't mention it again, we communists are above board, I can guarantee this with my own personality, please rest assured that Brigadier Zhou Wu." ” Both Zhou Wu and Ding Ning nodded their heads in conviction, although they had heard of the extreme behavior of purging and cleaning up within the Communist Party during the previous attacks on the Soviet area, and had mistakenly killed many innocent and outstanding party members, especially those Red Army generals who were originally old warlords.
General Li, the famous tiger general of the Gui Army, was wrongfully killed and wrongfully killed during the Soviet rebellion, and even General Chen, a veteran general in the Communist Party, one of the founders of the Red Army, and now holding an important leadership position in the New Fourth Army, almost died under the guns of the rebellion.
However, after the Red Army victoriously marched to northern Shaanxi, it quickly set things right, corrected a large number of unjust, false and wrong cases, rehabilitated many comrades who had been unjustly killed, and quickly reversed the situation; at the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the whole party showed a scene of unity; the Red Army soldiers who had just been reorganized into the Eighth Route Army fought a beautiful peace-shaped victory in the first battle in Shanxi, which greatly enhanced the morale of the army and the people throughout the country in resisting war, and even our Chairman Chiang sent a congratulatory telegram praising the Eighth Route Army for its courage and good fighting, and encouraging the anti-Japanese sentiment of the Chinese. t1706231537:
