This Director Xia felt bored when he saw that everyone here disdained him, and even the political commissar Niu was like this, he felt that Lao Niu had changed, he was not the old revolutionary, the old Communist, and he didn't have the same strong fighting spirit as before.
It must be that Zhou Wu and their group of people have played a role, it seems that their life in the Second Regiment will not be better in the future, do I just forget it, no, I have to fight with them to the end, since the Second Regiment is Zhou Wu's world, I will go up to reflect, find the political commissar of the column to complain, if the column does not work, it will be directly reported to the military headquarters, and it is absolutely impossible to let Zhou Wu and the erroneous ideas brought by them from the Kuomintang spread in the Second Regiment, causing immeasurable losses to the revolutionary cause.
Director Xia was smart this time, although he was very uncomfortable in his heart, thinking about how to go up to complain, but he showed a diametrically opposite attitude on his face, and when he saw Lao Niu talking, he immediately got off the donkey.
"Comrade Zhou Wu, it's all my fault for being young and inexperienced, even if I didn't say it just now, the political commissar is right, this military decision should be decided by you, we just need to do a good job of auxiliary work, I'm sorry, I apologize to you for this matter, please forgive me for my recklessness and ignorance, nonsense."
Zhou Wu didn't know what Director Xia was thinking about now, and when he saw that he apologized very sincerely, he felt a little embarrassed, he was also a director of the Political Department, and he put forward different opinions on his battle plan, which was also right, and there was no need to be so harsh and harsh on him.
Zhou Wu immediately said: "Director Xia, it's okay, you have any other opinions that you can put forward at any time, we are all welcome, listen to the opinions of comrades, it is also good for us, do you say it?"
Director Xia hurriedly nodded yes, but he hated Zhou Wu even more in his heart: Hmph, don't be complacent too early, one day I will let you know how good I am.
Zhou Wu saw that Director Xia had no opinion, and immediately ordered the second regiment to be divided into two parts, led by himself and Ding Ning respectively, from the west of Jinpu Road, around the back of the Wang puppet army that was coming, to catch them off guard, and at the same time left a company of brothers to continue to stick to the improvised fortifications here, to prevent the puppet army on the other side of the river from finding boats to cross the river, threatening the third regiment that was used as a reserve by the column behind it.
Just when Zhou Wu and the others were about to leave, there was a commotion in the Wang puppet army on the opposite riverbank, and then the fierce gunfire rang out, Zhou Wu hurriedly ordered the scout brothers to go there to investigate the situation, and he set off to the railway bridge on Jinpu Road according to the original plan, and quickly detoured to the back of the puppet army that was rushing to Langcun in a steady stream of directions, and stabbed them fiercely in the back.
Suddenly, a red signal flare rose in the sky on the other side of the river, followed by the roar of the Czech light machine gun that Zhou Wu and they were very familiar with, and the crisp bombardment of the 60mm mortar sounded one after another.
Zhou Wu and Ding Ning immediately realized that, that's right, the team of the fat man on the opposite side rushed from the direction of Binhu Town, and when they arrived at the river in front of Lang Village, they found that the bank was already full of Wang puppet army.
But what puzzled Zhou Wu was that the fat man and they only had about a hundred people guarding Binhu Town, why did they listen to the gunfire now, at least there must be thousands of people, where did he have so many people Zhou Wu didn't know that the fat man had temporarily reorganized the two battalions of the puppet army that had surrendered and captured them into the New Fourth Army in Binhu Town, and now he was in receipt of Zhou Wu's order to quickly abandon Binhu Town and rush to Lang Village to participate in the joint attack, and rushed to Lang Village with these temporarily reorganized teams, when he rushed to the river here, he listened to the report of the brother who was playing forward reconnaissance in front, saying that there were already a large number of puppet troops on the bank in front of the river, and he was looking for boats all over the world to prepare to cross the river to attack Lang Village, and asked him what to do As soon as the fat man heard that the puppet army had arrived at the Langcun River first, he was afraid that Zhou Wu and them would be surrounded inside, so he was anxious, so he hurriedly stared at his little eyes and shouted to his brothers: "What should I do immediately, rush up immediately, kill a bloody road on the side of the second dog, and rush into Langcun to meet the brigade."
The fat man had two battalions of puppet troops at hand, and with nearly a thousand horses, he was a lot more angry, and he wanted to take these brothers to rush towards the puppet army, but was stopped by Xiao Chen.
"Battalion commander, this can't be done, the puppet army on the other side has tens of thousands of horses, and our people used to be eggs and stones."
As soon as the fat man heard the persuasion of Company Commander Xiao Chen, his hot brain calmed down a little, and asked, "Then what do you say, just watch the brigade seat and they are surrounded by these two dogs?"
"We can send a team to harass and sneak attack the puppet army's flank, and attract their attention to our side, the brigade seat is on the other side of the river, they must know that we have exchanged fire with these puppet army, and when the time comes, we can launch a signal flare to inform them, and the brigade seat will also react after knowing that we are fighting with these puppet army here."
As soon as the fat man heard that Xiao Chen's suggestion was feasible, he hurriedly divided his brothers into two parts, one for himself and one for Xiao Chen, and launched an attack on the large army of the puppet army that was preparing to cross the river on the bank from the front and back directions.
The large army of the puppet army in front was none other than Commander Li, the commander-in-chief of the middle route of Wang's puppet army's liquidation of the New Fourth Army base area in Jiangbei.
After he entered the Jiangbei area from Shen Jiabang's side, he was harassed and blocked by the local New Fourth Army guerrillas everywhere along the way.
In the end, he left a puppet army division to deal with the harassing guerrillas behind the flanks of his troops, and he himself rushed all the way, and when they were about to rush to the vicinity of the base area by Hongze Lake, they encountered Chen Guofu's regiment of the New Fourth Army column coming from the Jinpu Road, although the New Fourth Army team resisted very stubbornly, but after all, the number was far less than his men, and soon retreated to the Langcun railway bridge behind.
When he chased Chen Guofu's regiment to the Langcun River, he suddenly found that the headquarters of the Jiangbei Column of the New Fourth Army was in the small village called Langcun in front.
He also asked the puppet army headquarters in Nanjing to use all the transportation forces that could be used to hurry up to Langcun to transport food, ammunition and other war materials, and the train that Ge Sanmin had stopped in the small station was the puppet army headquarters to transport supplies to the puppet army on the middle route led by Commander-in-Chief Li.
The headquarters of the puppet army soon discovered that something was wrong, and felt that the middle route army commanded by General Li was too far ahead, and its marching route clearly highlighted the other two flanks on the military map, and it was possible to be divided and surrounded by the New Fourth Army on the opposite side, and there was a danger of eating it in one bite.
The Japanese officer Taro Yamano, who was an adviser to the Nanjing puppet army headquarters, also saw that something was wrong with this middle route Wang puppet army, and he immediately asked the puppet army headquarters to immediately telegraph and order the middle route army to retreat to the rear immediately.
At the same time, he requested the headquarters of the East China Dispatch Army of the Imperial Army stationed in Nanjing to send the field division of the Imperial Army to the front line of the Shenjiabang Army to meet the retreating puppet army in the middle route army, and the puppet armies on both sides also immediately retreated, so as not to fall into the encirclement of the New Fourth Army.
The puppet army that attacked from the left and right flanks along the direction of Jinpu Road in parallel received the emergency retreat telegram from Nanjing, and immediately turned around and retreated to the back, along the way they were also like the puppet army in the middle of the road, suffered countless harassment and sneak attacks by the local New Fourth Army guerrillas, which was really nerve-wracking, and the puppet army soldiers also lost a lot, and they wanted to retreat here.
When the retreat order was passed to the commander-in-chief of the puppet army in the middle of the road, his troops were exchanging fire with the fat man who came from Binhu Town, and he wanted to retreat immediately and retreat to the safety of Shen Jiabang, but when he learned that the fat man of the New Fourth Army who came to attack only had a thousand people, he was a little angry.
I thought that you, the New Fourth Army, could not afford to look down on me, and dared to send such a team to attack me, and if I didn't wipe out all of your team today, I wouldn't withdraw.
As soon as Commander-in-Chief Li Niu Jin came up, he ignored the order from above to evacuate immediately and transfer to Shen Jiabang, and immediately ordered his two divisions to form a formation, divide into left and right roads, and squeeze towards the fat man.
The rapid retreat of the puppet army's flanks was soon known by Commander Li in Lang Village, and he saw that the puppet army on these two wings was about to run, and the puppet army in the middle did not retreat but advanced, as if it was going to attack further, he was a little confused, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of these puppet army to clear out Soon, the situation in front was clear, it turned out that the puppet army in the middle was entangled by the second regiment and one battalion, and now the two sides are fighting by the big river in front of Lang Village.
As soon as Commander Li heard that it was Zhou Wu's subordinates, he immediately sent several combat staff officers to Zhou Wu's place, bringing combat orders that had changed according to the changes in the battlefield situation.
One: In view of the possibility that the enemy on the left and right flanks will retreat, the tactical intention of compressing all the puppet troops to the area of Langcun that we expected in the past can no longer be realized, so we can only abandon the puppet army on the left and right roads and focus on the puppet army that is advancing in the middle.
Two: The second regiment can adjust the combat deployment in a timely manner, and flexibly entangle the puppet army in the middle road, which is very good, and now according to the changes on the battlefield, adjust the original battle plan, and the second regiment will be divided and surrounded by the puppet army in the middle of the road from the original frontal blocking and holding in Langcun, to quickly attacking, detouring to the back of the puppet army in the middle, and the adjacent regiment, the third regiment as a reserve in Langcun and the guerrillas in the surrounding area, and the county brigade will divide and surround the puppet army.
Three: After the encirclement is formed, a general attack will be launched against these Wang puppet troops in the middle at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and they must be completely annihilated in one fell swoop t1706231537:
