Soon, the earthworm-like handwriting on the certificate of good citizenship disappeared immediately, and then even the seal and other handwriting on the certificate gradually began to blur.
Chen Guofu said to Zhou Wu: "Brigade Commander Zhou, please provide us with a hidden room, I want to decipher these codes, it is related to the security of our passwords, and I hope the brigade commander can understand." ” When Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly walked out of the room with the officers under the Independent Brigade, leaving Chen Guofu and his brothers of the New Fourth Army to decipher this fatal information in the room.
Soon, Chen Guofu shouted at Zhou Wu who was standing outside: "Brigade Commander Zhou, come on, the information has been deciphered, and it is really about Mr.
Wang." ” Zhou Wu and Ding Ning rushed into the room almost at the same time, snatched the note from Chen Guofu's hand, and Ding Ning hurriedly read: "Yiyou Chenshui will go to Jinling." ” There were only a few words on the note, and there was nothing else, Zhou Wu hurriedly asked Chen Guofu: "The devil is going to Nanjing by water, and the day of Yiyou is tomorrow, which means that we still have five or six hours to go, once the devil enters the Yangtze River by boat from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, then we have no chance to do it at all, and we must intercept them before the devil's boat enters the Yangtze River and rescue Mr.
Wang." ” Chen Guofu nodded in agreement with Zhou Wu's analysis, and said to him: "Brigade Commander Zhou, if there is anything you need help from our Jiangbei detachment, just mention it, we promise to help." ” Zhou Wu had received two favors and help from the New Fourth Army before, and this time he sent the information on the rescue of Mr.
Wang in time through the inner line they placed in Taizhou City, and the people were quite righteous enough, and they had done their best, and they couldn't trouble people like this again, so he said to Chen Guofu: "Thank you for the help of the brothers of the New Fourth Army, you have helped us a lot this time, thank you very much, rescue Mr.
Wang I think our independent brigade should be able to handle it, we can keep in touch at any time, and we can inform each other if there is any situation, We are all friendly and our own family, so you don't have to be polite. ” Chen Guofu thought that Zhou Wu's rescue of Lao Wang was to repay the great favor of Mr.
Wang in Jiangyin, in a sense, it was a private matter of their independent brigade, and the New Fourth Army could only help to find out the intelligence, and it was really a bit inappropriate to send troops to help, he believed that although Zhou Wu's independent brigade was now seriously injured and was slowly recovering, it should not be a big problem to rescue an old Wang who was escorted by a little devil.
So Chen Guofu listened to Zhou Wu's words, and said to him with a smile: "Brigade Commander Zhou, then let's say goodbye, if there is any situation, you can communicate at any time, you are right, we are all friendly troops who are striving towards the same goal, we are a family, we don't have to be polite." ” After sending Chen Guofu away, Zhou Wu immediately instructed the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to find all his officers, and he had an urgent military operation to announce to everyone.
The fat man and the other officers couldn't sleep at this time, they knew that if the news of Mr.
Wang hadn't come in the past two days, it would be impossible for them to sleep soundly, so as soon as they heard the greeting of the staff officer of the brigade headquarters, they immediately got up and hurried to the brigade headquarters.
Zhou Wu saw that everyone had arrived, and said: "Brothers, there is the latest news from Taizhou, the devil will escort Mr.
Wang from the land and water to Nanjing in the early morning of tomorrow, it is now more than eleven o'clock in the evening, we still have four or five hours to come, please come, just let everyone think of a way, formulate a rescue plan, everyone can speak freely, no scruples." ” As soon as Zhou Wu finished speaking, Chief of Staff Ding Ning gave the brothers a detailed introduction to the route map of this devil's escort: "According to reliable intelligence, if the little devil wants to escort Mr.
Wang to Nanjing by water, he must take the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal on the Jiangdu side, and the best place for us to rescue Mr.
Wang should be on the land route of more than 30 kilometers between Taizhou and Jiangdu. ” "But there are all areas controlled by the little devils, and the interval between the two cities is too small, once the rescue operation is carried out there, once the battle starts, the sixth brigade of the 14th division of the devils in the direction of Taizhou can quickly arrive in full armor within an hour, and there is also a brigade of little devils stationed in Jiangdu behind us, plus the strength of the puppet army in these two places, a total of more than 10,000, which greatly exceeds our total strength."
"So I don't think it's appropriate to carry out a rescue operation here, and if we can get lucky in time, then how our troops can withdraw is a big problem, so we have to carefully consider intercepting the devil's escort boat on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Jiangdu and carrying out rescue operations on the waterway."
Ding Ning's analysis was supported by most of the officers below, but Zhou Wu did not think that it was impossible to carry out rescue operations in the area between Taizhou and Jiangdu at this time, he thought that since the little devils also knew that the Independent Brigade and other anti-Japanese forces did not dare to save people under their noses, then we could plan and send Xiao Wang, who had already left the lake and was waiting halfway between Taizhou and Nanjing, to quickly rush to Jiangdu at night, and find a suitable terrain between Taizhou and Jiangdu, near the Jiangdu Canal, to ambush them.
Wait for the little devil to escort the convoy over and ambush him.
If the operation is successful, we will immediately evacuate from Jiangdu towards Gaoyou Lake, I just looked at this map carefully, and found that our Gaoyou Lake is connected to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and several small rivers, we can let Shui Sheng and a group of brothers wait at the mouth of the river closest to the canal in a boat, once Xiao Wang and they succeed, immediately withdraw to Shui Sheng, and then leave quickly by boat together.
Even if the little devils quickly transfer heavy troops from Jiangdu and Taizhou, as long as we evacuate in time and quickly, we should be able to get rid of the pursuit of the devils, and once they get on the aquatic boats, it is impossible for the devils to catch up with them from the waterway, because I asked Lu Ping just now, as far as he knows, those small rivers are usually not walked, and the water is shallow and not suitable for big boats to pass, but their small boats can barely pass, with their good water nature, even if there is a blockage somewhere, they should be able to solve it smoothly.
As soon as Zhou Wu's opinion was said, Ge Sanmin was the first to agree: "The brigade is right, in case Xiao Wang's thirty or so brothers can't intercept the devil's escort convoy, or if the devil has something on the way, then we can order them to quickly retreat towards the aquatic side, while our other teams can continue to set up ambushes to intercept the devil's fleet on this section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, this is also the second set of plans, in case the first brigade's plan does not work, you can have time to implement the second set of plans."
It's good to have one more plan, so that we have a choice, and we don't have to work in vain. ” Ge Sanmin has always been able to understand Zhou Wu's intentions, Zhou Wu's meaning is that he must not let go of any precious rescue opportunity, even if the rescue fails on the land route, then continue to make a fuss on the waterway, and once the little devil's ship enters the main channel of the Yangtze River from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is impossible for the independent brigade or other anti-Japanese armed forces to break through the heavy defense line of the little devil on the Yangtze River to rescue Lao Wang, so Zhou Wu had better have a third or even a fourth rescue plan.
Ding Ning listened to Zhou Wu's words, and felt that it was too dangerous to do so, and if he didn't get the brothers brought by Xiao Wang, they might have to be dumplings made by the little devils, even if he wanted to rescue Mr.
Wang on the land route to Jiangdu, it was far from enough to rely on the people brought by Xiao Wang, and enough more people must be sent there.
At this time, Zhou Wu hurriedly ordered the brigade headquarters communication corps to contact the fat man immediately, asking him where he was now, whether he had found Xiao Wang, and soon contacted the fat man, Zhou Wu asked the fat man: "Fat man, where are you now, Xiao Wang, will they meet you?"
The fat man sent a report on the radio: "Brigade seat, I led a company of troops to search along the southeast direction of Gaoyou Lake, and now I have found the city of Yangzhou, but I still haven't found Xiao Wang, I guess they are not on this road, I want to go back to the direction of Jiangdu to find it."
The fat man couldn't find Xiao Wang's thirty or so brothers all day, and he was very annoyed.
Zhou Wu replied: "Xiao Wang, they may be going in the direction of Taizhou, you quickly turn to the northeast to look, inquire more about the situation along the way, and be sure to find them before the little devils surround Xiao Wang." ” "In addition, according to reliable information, the little devil will escort Mr.
Wang from the land and water to Nanjing in the early morning tomorrow, if you still can't find Xiao Wang and them before five o'clock tomorrow morning, immediately give up the search, immediately find a place on the east bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Jiangdu to hide and ambush, ambush the devil's convoy escorting Mr.
Wang on the land, and strive to save him by land."
"In case the operation is unsuccessful or you can't wait for the little devil convoy, you immediately retreat to the direction of Shuimo Town southeast of Gaoyou Lake, I asked Huang Shuisheng to take his brothers to meet you by the small river on the other side of the town, remember, in case of failure of the operation or other emergencies, you must not fall in love with the little devils, and immediately withdraw to Gaoyou Lake, this is an order, you must obey unconditionally" After the fat man received Zhou Wu's telegram, he felt that Xiao Wang Ke had made a big disaster, and the thirty brothers couldn't find it at once, and this place was nearly thirty or forty kilometers away from the straight line distance from the map of the river, and now it was more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the brothers had been looking for a day, and their physical strength had been seriously overdrawn.
The fat man briefly estimated this time, and ordered his brothers to get up immediately, and quickly rush to Jiangdu, which was thirty or forty kilometers away, at the speed of a rapid march, and be sure to arrive there in five hours, and eat and drink on the way, and there must be no delay on the way, otherwise they would not be able to reach Jiangdu before five o'clock in the morning. t1706231537:
