Ge Sanmin took the weapons handed over by the company commander, and escorted all the surrendered national soldiers down.
The battle ended quickly, but the original unexpected results were achieved, not only captured nearly 400 national troops, but also captured three independent brigade Maximine heavy machine guns and several 60 mortars, which are almost no longer available, Ge Sanmin touched these long-lost weapons, and happily said to his brothers: "Haha, now our independent brigade that old Zhang and they can return to their old business as artillery." ” Although the battle in the southeast was over at this time, Ge Sanmin knew that this was just an outpost battle, only knocking out the opponent's forward reconnaissance force, and the big head was still behind, so after he reported the situation of this outpost battle to Zhou Wu by radio, he continued to leave the brothers of the second regiment to clean up the battlefield, or camouflage the boat, ambushed in those reeds, and quietly waited for the arrival of Han's large independent division.
Ge Sanmin's first victory in the east did not bring good luck to Zhou Wu, the news around Gaoyou Lake about the national army's attack on the independent brigade came one after another, since the independent brigade exchanged fire with Han's 24th Group Army, other national army units stationed in Anhui in the west also began large-scale mobilization, according to the brothers sent out by the independent brigade to reconnoitre, the marching direction of these national army troops is the Gaoyou Lake, as for whether they came to encircle and suppress the New Fourth Army in the northwest Tianchang direction of Gaoyou Lake, It is not known whether the independent brigade was wiped out by the way.
By the morning of the next day, Zhou Wu received the latest situation of Chen Guofu and them on Tianchang's side: "According to reliable and latest information, the Sixth Theater of the National Army sent three armies, six and a half divisions of about 50,000 or 60,000 people, to advance in the direction of Tianchang and Gaoyou in three directions. ” Zhou Wu heard the news and felt that this was a big deal, so he hurriedly ordered all the officers above the battalion level on the front line to come back for a meeting.
When Ge Sanmin arrived, the fat men had already arrived, and when Zhou Wu saw that Ge Sanmin had arrived, he hurriedly nodded to Ding Ning, the chief of staff: "Ding Ning, you can talk about it first." ” Ding Ning told everyone the news that the northwest sent fifty or sixty thousand horses to Gaoyou Lake to encircle and suppress the Independent Brigade, and before Ding Ning finished speaking, the fat man at the bottom suddenly exploded: "Damn, I thought that only that Han was not a thing, and it turned out that Chen was not a thing, isn't this obviously going to destroy our Independent Brigade, why should we use six and a half divisions and fifty or sixty thousand horses to deal with our Independent Brigade, it seems that these guys still look up to us."
Zhou Wu listened to it, scolded the fat man, and said: "Now there is a fart for saying this kind of, hurry up and everyone think of a way to pass this pass" Zhou Wu thought that the Sixth War Zone of the National Army actually sent fifty or sixty thousand people to fight his own independent brigade at once, and his heart felt painful, those old men above really turned their faces faster than turning books, and they had never seen them so efficient when they fought little devils in Shanghai and Nanjing, and they were considered national troops anyway, but they were not willing to listen to them to attack the New Fourth Army, which was also a national army, It has caused so many national army teams to attack in turn, what is the reason The fat man stood up and almost yelled at Zhou Wu in his voice: "Brigade seat, now you know, those officials above don't regard our Independent Brigade as people at all, their previous things are tricks to trap you, as soon as our Independent Brigade is unwilling to do anything to the New Fourth Army, they will immediately turn their faces and come to besiege us, the real national army is not a thing, I don't think we need to hide it, anyway, we have to tear our faces with them, it is better to play a banner and openly communicate with Chongqing."
Lao Jiang and they broke up, so that his brothers know how to fight, you ask Ge Sanmin, they just fought with someone Han's men, and in the end, the company commander of the national army also said that they surrendered to the national army, what is this, the brothers are dizzy when they hear it" "Yes, the fat man is right, they were unrighteous first, and now they are mobilizing heavy troops to destroy us, our independent brigade has not done anything wrong, first, the little devil did not surrender as a traitor and a puppet army to betray the country, and second, he did not bully the local people as a prestige, but he didn't listen to them to fight the New Fourth Army, they turned their faces and did not recognize people, and they wanted to destroy our independent brigade, which is too unusual, if we don't resist at this time, are we just waiting to die" The officers under his command scolded.
Zhou Wu thought about it, the independent brigade just did not carry out the order to attack the New Fourth Army, and the top mobilized heavy troops to kill themselves, his independent brigade fought all the way from the Shanghai battlefield to Nanjing, and then rescued the brothers of the teaching regiment from the pile of dead people in Nanjing City, and finally came to this Jiangbei by crossing the river at the risk of death, but there was more contact with the New Fourth Army, which was also an anti-Japanese team, and the above thought that they were going to rebel, and they were going to destroy themselves mercilessly.
Zhou Wu felt that his independent brigade was not as good as those who had taken refuge in the little devils to be puppet soldiers and traitors, and he had not seen the mobilization of heavy troops to suppress these puppet armies Ding Ning stood up and said to Zhou Wu at this time: "Brigade seat, we Chinese have an old saying, called "the division is famous", this time they mobilized so many troops to recruit our independent brigade, they called us "rebels", if we fight them quietly, that is to admit it, we must tell those people that we are not the so-called "rebels", but an upright anti-Japanese team that kills devils.
Brigade seat, since things have developed to this point, we simply openly raise the banner and move closer to the New Fourth Army, at this time, constantly, when will it be decided" Ding Ning put forward a proposal to break with the identity of the independent brigade and the previous national army.
Before Zhou Wu could speak, most of the officers under his command agreed with Ding Ning's proposal, and asked Zhou Wu to take them to the arms of the New Fourth Army, especially the fat man, who was resistant to the New Fourth Army at the beginning, and said loudly to Zhou Wu: "Brigade seat, I think the chief of staff is right, now what time has come, since Lao Jiang and they don't want our independent brigade, let's go to the New Fourth Army, anyway, they are all teams that kill devils and fight small Japan, not to mention that people have saved our independent brigade several times, It's better to take your brothers over there than to be angry with those birdmen in the war zone here, I don't know anything else, but the New Fourth Army will not find an excuse to destroy you for no reason."
Ge Sanmin looked at Zhou Wu and hurriedly said to him: "Brigade seat, since everyone means this, you don't have to insist anymore, everyone has been following you from birth to death since the Shanghai battlefield, the so-called hardships are shared, blessings are shared, as long as you nod, we will never gossip, if we suffer in the future, we will never resent you, in the army you are our big brother, in life you are our brother, now there are enemies on all sides, our independent brigade is on the crater, One more friend and one more strength, quickly make up your mind, contact Chen Guofu and them, and form a defense as soon as possible, so as to prevent our independent brigade from being eaten by the national army and the little devil puppet army that surrounded us. ” Ge Sanmin not only has a set of battles, but also speaks quite well, Zhou Wu is actually ready to comply with the wishes of his subordinates at this time, but he can't erase his face in the national army for many years, and he has not accepted their requests, and now when he heard Ge Sanmin's words, he immediately nodded and agreed.
"Ge Sanmin and Ding Ning have all the brothers right, in the past, it was my Zhou Wu who was confused, and had illusions about those people above, and always thought that they would not be able to lay a black hand on their own team if they were like this, but now everything is clear, they not only want to attack the New Fourth Army, the anti-Japanese team that kills devils, but also ignores the hard work of our independent brigade on the battlefield before, and mobilizes heavy troops to attack the independent brigade on the grounds of disobedience to military orders, which makes it impossible for us to rise up and resist, whether they call us rebels or not, As long as we are still here to kill devils and fight small Japan, we will have a clear conscience, and in my eyes, as long as whoever is really fighting devils is the destination of our independent brigade.
Therefore, I have decided to contact Captain Li of the Jiangbei Detachment of the New Fourth Army and Chen Guofu to announce that our Independent Brigade will follow them to fight devils from now on."
As soon as Zhou Wu's words fell, the officers below burst into a stormy applause, and a few brothers jumped up high like children, since the city of Nanjing broke and retreated to Jiangbei, it was bumpy all the way, no one was waiting to see it, and was driven by the little devils and puppet soldiers to this Gaoyou Lake to become the king of the thief mountain, and now they are finally going to come out and fight devils with the new Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, these brothers who crawled out of the dead pile of their comrades-in-arms can not be excited, excited Now they finally have a name, It is no longer the remnants of the national army that it used to be, and it can kill devils and traitors in the name of the New Fourth Army in a dignified manner.
Ding Ning immediately personally brought a few people to Tianchang's side to contact Chen Guofu, Chen Guofu saw that he couldn't be the master of this matter, so he hurriedly reported to the captain of the Li detachment above, the captain of the Li detachment also felt that this matter was not trivial, and he couldn't have the final say alone, so he had to convene a meeting of the party committee members of the detachment at home to discuss and decide, this independent brigade is going to revolt anyway, and it is welcome to throw itself into the arms of our New Fourth Army, but in view of the sensitivity of the identity of the independent brigade as a regular army of the national army and the current special period, You have to think about it, and if you don't get it, it's going to make a big mess.
At the party committee of the detachment, Captain Li and Chen Guofu welcomed the uprising of the Independent Brigade at this time, and the reason for their insistence was that the Independent Brigade was a contingent that persisted in resisting Japan in the eastern part of the Soviet Union, Central and Anhui, and that the troops were well-trained and strictly disciplined, and that they were an example of the anti-Japanese armed forces around here, and that if the Independent Brigade could join our New Fourth Army, it would certainly be of great benefit to the development of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei in the future, and although they used to be the regular army of the Kuomintang government, now the Nationalist Government in Chongqing has classified them as "rebels."
And also sent the troops of the 24th Group Army of Han to attack the Independent Brigade, if our New Fourth Army does not reach out to help the Independent Brigade at this time, then when will it be t1706231537:
