Zhou Wu listened, thought for a while and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, let's first set a rough direction like this, and then decide according to the situation, immediately call the fat man and Ge Sanmin over, before the big war, the brothers will discuss it carefully to see if they can come up with a better plan."
The staff officers of the brigade headquarters hurriedly called the fat man and Ge Sanmin, Xiao Zheng and they went, and after hearing Zhou Wu's urging, the fat man hurriedly put down the affairs at hand and hurried back to Gaoyou Lake by boat.
When he hurried to the brigade headquarters, even Ge Sanmin, who was fighting against the independent division security regiment in the southeast, came, and the fat man felt that there might be a big battle this time, otherwise Zhou Wu would not have rushed back to the meeting with these heads.
Ding Ning saw that the brothers were almost there, so he cleared his throat and said to the brothers: "Brothers, this battle is the first battle since we joined the New Fourth Army, and it must be fought well, and let those brothers of the Jiangbei detachment see that our independent brigade is not in vain." ” "Although the Kuomintang recalcitrant army is numerous, it is aggressively attacking our independent brigade from the northwest and southeast directions, but because the brothers of the Jiangbei detachment are holding back in the northwest direction, I don't think they will be able to attack here for a while, so there is no need to worry too much about the northwest direction."
"The southeast attack is the independent division and three security regiments that have just been incorporated under someone Han, although the number is 20,000, but the combat effectiveness is really not flattering, this independent division is called a division, but the number is less than our independent brigade, but most of its soldiers are bandit mountain kings who wander in northern Jiangsu, and their personal combat effectiveness is some, but the discipline is lax, and the coordination ability is not very good, and they also have a fatal shortcoming, that is, these guys are all bandits rampant on land, once they enter Gaoyou Lake, their eyes are black, It's not withdrawn, it's just a bunch of landlubbers. ” "I'm still worried about the three security regiments that follow behind the independent division, although these three regiments are security regiments, most of their members are locals around here, and they have the experience of besieging their cottages in the past, so the biggest threat to Ge Sanmin and their second regiment this time is still these three security regiments."
"As long as the siege of the southeast direction by these three security regiments is broken, there is basically no big threat to Ge Sanmin, but Ge Sanmin, you can't take it lightly, you must always be on guard against the movements of the devils and puppet troops around Taizhou, especially the devil brigade stationed in Gaoyou County, once there is a change in this devil brigade or the devil brigade in Taizhou City, immediately report to the brigade headquarters by radio."
Ding Ning said to Ge Sanmin.
"No problem, Chief of Staff, of course I know that the threat of this devil brigade is far stronger than that independent division, we are old opponents with the little devils, to be honest, I think the combat effectiveness of our independent brigade still can't be compared with the little devils, even those veteran brothers who fought all the way from the Shanghai battlefield are not as good as these little devils, and they have to do their best to barely fight with the devils, these days I'm thinking, our individual skills and tactics training is not worse than the little devils, Due to the abundant material guarantee in Gaoyou Lake, the physique should not be much worse than that of the devil."
"But why can't our brothers be like the devils when they fight in large forces, and act in unison, I don't think the problem of weapons and equipment is either, the firepower of the little devils is fiercer than that of our independent brigade, but it is not so fierce that it has an absolute advantage, although the devils have aircraft fire support in the sky, but this is only auxiliary fire support, and the main role is still the devil's infantry."
"Brothers, think about it for yourself, if those little devils don't have the support of the heavenly planes and the help of the artillery on the ground, can we be sure to defeat them, I think we can defeat them, but we have to pay a pretty heavy price, what does this mean that we are not as good as devils in some places, we must find out, and slowly improve in battle, so that our independent brigade will be worthy of the title of this devil's nemesis no matter where it goes in the future."
Ge Sanmin expressed his concerns to Zhou Wu and his brothers in the Independent Brigade.
His concern is the common problem of many anti-Japanese armed forces around Gaoyou Lake at present, these hot-blooded men with simple and dilapidated weapons with their enthusiasm for killing the enemy and serving the country with their own flesh and blood to resist the vicious little devils, but if you can think carefully like Ge Sanmin, find out your own shortcomings and improve them, you will definitely be able to pay a lot less blood, eliminate more little devils, and drive these dog robbers out of the land of China one day sooner.
After listening to Ge Sanmin's words, the brothers all quieted down, and the entire huge brigade headquarters was quiet, and even the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Today, when I suddenly heard Ge Sanmin say it, they were all silent.
In the end, Zhou Wu raised his head and said: "Ge Sanmin is right, this is the reason why we used to have so many national troops in Shanghai who couldn't defeat the little devils, but under the city of Nanjing, they were surrounded by devils who were many times smaller than us, and they were slaughtered in the city.
Imagine a team that looks ahead and does not dare to die and survive, and can win the battle, have a fanatical fighting spirit, and are not afraid of death when they charge."
Ding Ning nodded and said: "We also know what Ge Sanmin said about this situation, but no matter how we improve the training intensity or technical and tactical training of the troops in Gaoyou Lake, we can't change the harsh reality that this combat effectiveness is not as good as that of devils, sometimes I wonder if our independent brigade is not doing well in that place or there are other unknown reasons that plague us."
"Why is it that Chen Guofu and his New Fourth Army have worse weapons and equipment than us, why they can fight against the little devils undefeated, and they can win repeatedly, their base area has expanded from a small town when they first came to Jiangbei to an area that currently spans the two provinces of Anhui and Suzhou, there must be a reason for this, but we don't know it yet."
"Well, now that we are also a unit of the New Fourth Army, I think that after this battle is over, the New Fourth Army will also send political commissars to our independent brigade, and when the time comes, we must study hard how people carry out ideological and political work among officers and men, and I estimate that the fact that the New Fourth Army can have such flexible and powerful combat effectiveness is inseparable from their political and ideological work."
Ding Ning is not a chief of staff, and after careful analysis, he can see the clues of the New Fourth Army, but he still does not know much about the ideological and political work of the New Fourth Army, and all he knows now is only the superficial phenomenon that he has seen in the New Fourth Army base areas a few more times, but he is finally a little bit at the edge.
The fat man was a little confused about this thing, he touched the back of his head and said to Ding Ning: "Chief of Staff, you said that this ideological and political work can improve the combat effectiveness of our independent brigade, this is not an aircraft cannon, it can blow up the little devil on the opposite side, I think it's useless, it's more practical to make more bullets and bombs, but it's still something that can be seen and touched."
I don't think we'll talk about any ideological and political work here, because the enemy is about to come in, so let's think about how to resist it. ” Of course Ding Ning couldn't answer the fat man's words at this time, and even if he answered, he couldn't explain it well, because he also came over in the regular army of the Kuomintang, and he knew not much more about this kind of political and ideological work than the fat man, so Ding Ning listened to the fat man's words, nodded and smiled and said: "Don't worry, fat man, this time I still let you be right, what we are most worried about this time is not Ge Sanmin and his second regiment, but the southwest direction of your regiment's defense." ” When the fat man heard this, he stared at Ding Ning with small eyes, as if he had never known Ding Ning: "Why don't I see any movement in front of us, I have sent more than a dozen scout detachments to the southwest to reconnoiter the world, so far there is no intelligence on the dispatch of little devils and puppet troops, how can you say that we are the most dangerous there" The fat man looked at him at a loss, he didn't know why, he looked at Ding Ning in a daze, and wanted to get an answer.
"Fatty, how far can your scouts be sent to Nanjing City, Yangzhou City, which is occupied by devils, don't think that you will relax your guard if you don't move for the time being, think about it, now the entire Gaoyou Lake is surrounded by the Kuomintang, only the southwest direction of your regiment defense has not moved, the little devils in Yangzhou City, Nanjing will not move, they want to see us fight with the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, of course, the little devils hope that we will fight with those recalcitrant troops as lively as possible, it is better to fight both sides, and they will definitely come out to clean up us at that time."
"So your side is the dangerous area this time, no matter whether there is movement in front of us now, no matter whether Ge Sanmin and they fight upside down, and even our entire Gaoyou Lake is captured by the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, and even the independent brigade is all wiped out, as long as you can resist the attack of the little devils in the southwest, then our independent brigade can still be saved, and we can still have the capital to make a comeback, it's a big deal to follow Chen Guofu of the Jiangbei detachment and them to retreat to the mountains of northern Anhui to fight guerrillas."
"But if your regiment can't hold the southwest direction, let the little devils and the puppet army attack into Gaoyou Lake, then our independent brigade will fall into a Jedi surrounded on all sides, and the devil puppet army in the southeast who has not yet moved will definitely take the opportunity to attack it, and the main force of the 24th Group Army of Han in the north is looking at this place, and when the time comes, it will also be sent out to besiege us and the Jiangbei detachment, and the little devils from the southwest and southeast will jointly wipe out the Jiangbei detachment and our independent brigade."
"Through this battle, the little devils have cleared the anti-Japanese armed forces around Nanjing, Yangzhou, and Taizhou, so that they can rest assured that they can build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle in Jiangnan and Jiangbei in order to support their war of aggression against China, while Lao Jiang eliminated a Communist Party's anti-Japanese revolutionary base in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and pulled out the nail in his eye. t1706231537:
