Chen Guofu rushed back with his subordinates to find the commander-in-chief of Wang's puppet army, and Zhou Wu and the others also cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew to Langcun with a large number of prisoners.
When they arrived at Lang Village, Zhou Wu found that Commander Li had been waiting for them to come back at the entrance of the village, and when the commander saw Zhou Wu and them, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said: "Comrade Zhou Wu, you have fought very well this time, and you have captured so many puppet army prisoners, I will treat you in the village tonight to celebrate your comrades who have returned from victory."
When Zhou Wu heard this, of course he was happy: "Okay, since we came to the New Fourth Army, we haven't drunk the old wine here, okay, the commander will see you at night, if you don't get drunk, you won't return, you will rest when you get drunk."
The fat man heard that there was wine to drink tonight, and he was so greedy that he almost wanted to leave Harazi on his lips, but Zhou Wu saw it, glared at him fiercely, and said to him: "Don't let your guard down, arrange the vigilance around Lang Village, and I'll settle accounts with you if something happens."
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly retracted his head and hurriedly ran to the first battalion to set up a guard, but he couldn't forget the necessary precautions when celebrating the victory, if he was attacked by a little devil or a Kuomintang diehard, it would be troublesome.
Almost all the leaders of the Jiangbei Column of the New Fourth Army have gathered here in Langcun, and if the sneak attack by the commando of the little devil is successful, won't the Jiangbei Column of the New Fourth Army be put in a nest On the barn in the middle of Lang Village, the gasoline lamps were bright, illuminating the surrounding field as bright as day, and Commander Li had set up a few tables of banquets here, and the heads and brains of the three regiments of the Jiangbei Column gathered together and were drinking heartily to celebrate the victory of smashing Wang's puppet army and clearing the Jiangbei base area.
During the banquet, Commander Li praised the outstanding performance of all units in the anti-purging struggle, and especially praised Zhou Wu's Second Regiment.
It was they who ran back and forth for a long distance, not only holding on to the transportation fortress Shen Jiabang, but also fighting a beautiful ambush battle on the way, completely annihilating the devil Takeda squadron that came to reinforce Shen Jiabang, creating a record of completely annihilating a squadron of Japanese devils for the first time since the founding of our New Fourth Army.
In the general offensive that followed, he improvised to adapt to the situation, preemptively attacked in a roundabout way, cut off the rear route of Wang's puppet army's middle route army, captured more than 4,000 puppet troops, dealt a great blow to the arrogance of the devils and the puppet army, and played a decisive role in the victory of this anti-purging struggle.
It is hoped that the First and Third Regiments will learn from the Second Regiment, and that fighting a war depends not only on the soldiers' ideological consciousness and will, but also on their skillful tactical skills and their ability to judge and observe the enemy's situation.
Comrade Zhou Wu and his Second Regiment, as the New Fourth Army from the Kuomintang army, were able to achieve such impressive results, and everyone present here should have their own experience, and why the Second Regiment was able to achieve such good results in this campaign is a question worthy of consideration by comrades, and only by thinking through this issue can we effectively improve the combat effectiveness of your troops.
Zhou Wuyi felt a little embarrassed when he heard that the commander always praised himself, and hurriedly stood up and said: "The commander is serious, in fact, the victory of this anti-purging campaign is still the result of the joint efforts of the first and third regiments and the local anti-Japanese armed forces in other counties. ” "And here we have to thank the comrades of those local guerrillas, without them destroying the railroad tracks on Jinpu Road, the puppet army can quickly mobilize troops to reinforce it, then even if we drive the puppet army to Langcun and surround them, in the case of a large number of puppet troops on the flank, we will not be able to annihilate the middle route army of Wang's puppet army so smoothly."
Commander Li waved his hand to signal Zhou Wu to take his seat, and said: "Comrade Zhou Wu is right, the equipment of our New Fourth Army is poor, which is obvious to all, but why we can win the victory in this area of Jiangbei and repeatedly fight against the little devils and the puppet army, mainly depends on the concerted efforts of our comrades and the support of the common people in the base areas and occupied areas. ” "I hope that after the comrades go back, they will properly sum up the lessons and lessons of this anti-clean-up struggle, and it is not necessarily that there is no need to sum them up after victory, and that we communists pay attention to practical facts, that is, we must sum up lessons not only after losing the war, but also in summing up experience even if we have won the war now, so that we can be invincible and drive the Japanese devils out of the land of China at an early date."
Zhou Wu listened to the commander's words, his heart was surging, he said it so well, every sentence went to his heart, no wonder the New Fourth Army had such a strong combat effectiveness, in fact, the magic weapon was these two things.
The first is to rely on the common people, with the common people as their eyes and ears, no kind of intelligence can compare to the actions of the villagers, and the devils and puppet troops have not yet left the city.
The New Fourth Army has already learned the news, and in terms of intelligence alone, the little devils and the puppet army have already lost a chess game.
Of course, there are also those underground party comrades lurking in the heart of the enemy, and it is precisely because of their efforts on the tip of the knife that this side can always get the latest information of the devil puppet army at the first time, and can adjust the combat deployment in time according to the latest information.
Second, the New Fourth Army's strict discipline and the unity of its orders have made up for the defects of poor weaponry and equipment in a timely manner, enabling the New Fourth Army to fight bigger and bigger in the Jiangbei area, its combat effectiveness has become stronger and stronger, and the scope of its base areas has become wider and wider.
A few days later, the column headquarters ordered the regiments to return to the pre-war station to rest on the spot for a period of time, and Zhou Wu returned to Matan with the brothers of the second regiment, where they met the comrades of the county brigade of Tianchang County.
Lao Yang of the county brigade had been waiting at the intersection of Matan for a long time, and when he saw Zhou Wu, he immediately stepped forward to report: "Report to the head of the regiment, welcome back to Matan, this is the boundary of our Tianchang County, and I, the captain of the county brigade, can be regarded as a land, if there are any difficulties, just tell me, I will definitely help solve them." ” Zhou Wu heard the fat man say that this old Yang had fought side by side with the comrades of the first battalion in the siege and annihilation of Lang Village, and he also captured a lot of puppet army prisoners, and he captured a lot of light and heavy machine guns alone, and it seemed that he was also a good fighter, so he hurriedly said: "Captain Yang, you're welcome, everyone is a member of the New Fourth Army, and it is appropriate to help each other." ” The fat man happened to be next to him, and when he heard Lao Yang's tone, he was afraid that he was going to poke out his self-assertion of giving them the seized weapons privately, so he hurriedly stepped forward to play haha.
"Haha, Captain Yang is brave in the battle, although there are not many of them, and the weapons are not good, but when they fight the puppet army and the two dogs, it is called a ruthless, and I admire the fat man.
It is said that Jiangbei is a good man, I didn't believe it before, I thought it was a storyteller's nonsense, but today I am finally happy, it is really amazing" While saying this to Lao Yang, the fat man squeezed his eyebrows at him and said a code: Lao Yang, don't talk about the seizure of weapons, otherwise the regiment commander will know about it, and you will have to lock me up.
Lao Yang is also a smart person, he knows what this short and fat battalion commander Liu means, so he hurriedly stopped talking, and the group led Zhou Wu and them to the village, and the local comrades had already vacated a room for Zhou Wu and them as the temporary headquarters of the second regiment.
In this way, the second regiment settled down in the village of Matan.
During this period of resting and standby, the brothers of the second regiment were not idle, Zhou Wu and Ding Ning personally ran to the company below, teaching the recruit brothers to fight bayonets and shooting, and eating and living with the brothers below every day, although they were very tired, they lived quite full and happy.
Ding Ning was forced by Zhou Wu to go back to the regiment headquarters several times, and met with Shen Lina of the health company a few times, but the fat man was different, as soon as he had free time during the training, he immediately ran to Xiao Liu, and several times met with Director Xia, who often guided the work in the health company and pretended to be serious.
Director Xia hated that this Humpty Dumpty man often came to the health company and hindered him from doing some things, so he warned the fat man sharply: "Battalion Commander Liu, you should go to the company below and work with Commander Zhou and them to grasp the training of the soldiers, what are you always doing here in the health company?"
The fat man has long been unaccustomed to the serious virtues of this Director Xia, and when he heard that he actually taught himself a lesson today, he said at the time: "Director Xia, I came to see my wife during the break, is this also a violation of the discipline of the New Fourth Army You are just a director of the political department, and you can manage ideology and politics, so it is difficult to care about us eating, drinking, and farting."
When Director Xia heard that the fat man dared to confront him in front of so many doctors and nurses in the health company, he felt that his majesty had been challenged.
So Director Xia's face was flushed, and he yelled hysterically at the fat man: "Liu Xiaolei, don't forget that you have now joined the New Fourth Army, don't bring your set in the Kuomintang team here, go back to your first battalion immediately, I don't care about you for the time being, if you don't obey again, I, I, I will immediately remove you from your position" Director Xia was so angry that he couldn't find a reason to reprimand the fat man for a while, so he "me" several times in a row, and finally popped up to remove the fat man from his position as battalion commander.
According to the organizational regulations of the New Fourth Army, the director of the regimental political department is responsible for the political and ideological work of the regiment and is the deputy of the political commissar.
In other words, the fat man, the first battalion commander, should be removed, and even the regiment commander Zhou Wu does not have this power, let alone the director of the political department. t1706231537:
