Zhou Wu and Niu Political Commissar listened to Ding Ning's analysis, and they all felt reasonable, the devil is also a thief and has no empty hands, if there is no good thing in the south, they will send so many elite field troops to rush to the south, it seems that something big is going to happen at the end of this year.
As soon as the elite troops of the devil's field left, the remaining Wang puppet army and some little devils' garrison troops were easier to deal with, Zhou Wu's mind suddenly had a bold idea, it is better to take advantage of this devil's elite transfer to the south and the good opportunity of the empty troops, take the independent brigade to the direction of Nanjing Yangzhou to harass and sneak attack them, take the opportunity to grab some weapons and ammunition or something, and have a good year.
Zhou Wu handed over the task of attacking the Japanese puppet army in the direction of Yangzhou Taizhou to Ding Ning, and asked him to come up with a specific plan first.
Just when Ding Ning was preparing a sneak attack plan and the comrades who had selected the squad were ready to set off, a few ordinary people came outside and asked to see him by name.
Ding Ning wondered, who is so anxious to find me, and his brothers said: "I heard that the accent of those fellow villagers is not long-lasting, they say that you are the uncle of their master's family, from Huai'an, and there is something important to tell you." ” When Ding Ning heard this, he knew that something was wrong with his father-in-law, so he hurriedly asked his brothers to bring those ordinary people in, and when he saw it, it was indeed the little housekeeper he had seen in Yangzhou City before, after so many years, he almost forgot what this young man's name was The young man didn't forget Lao Ding, as soon as he entered the door, he shouted "Uncle, uncle", Ding Ning was embarrassed, and hurriedly asked him: "Is this little brother from Huai'an, I met in Yangzhou many years ago, I can't remember your name, what happened to your master, tell me quickly." ” When the young man heard Ding Ning's words, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, you don't remember me, you brought Miss to Yangzhou that winter, and I opened the door, my name is Little Nanjing, Little Nanjing."
Xiao Nanjing said, with an eager look on his face, it is estimated that Mr.
Shen has encountered trouble this time, otherwise he would not let this little Nanjing come to find Lao Ding.
As soon as Ding Ning heard that it was little Nanjing, he remembered that in the winter of 37, Nanjing Chengpo and their independent brigade had just crossed the Yangtze River, he and Shen Lina took a group of brothers to Yangzhou to get medicines, and by the way, they visited the old man who had never met, it was this young man who opened the door, but he didn't think that only a few years later, this hairy young man of the year has now become a lot more sophisticated and mature.
"Oh, it turned out to be Little Nanjing, what's wrong with your master" Ding Ning hurriedly asked Little Nanjing.
Xiao Nanjing finally saw his relatives at this time, tears were almost falling, Ding Ning hurriedly asked them to sit down and said slowly, Xiao Nanjing took a slight look away, suddenly took a step forward, knelt on both knees, hugged Ding Ning's legs and shouted: "Uncle, save our master, if you don't make a move, my master will die, you have to promise me to save my master, otherwise I won't get up" Ding Ning saw Xiao Nanjing's posture, and hurriedly grabbed his arms, trying to pull him up, but he didn't expect the young man to be very heavy, Ding Ning couldn't pull it up, so he had to say to Xiao Nanjing: "Hurry up, so many people are here, the impact is not good, I promise you that it is." ” As soon as Xiao Nanjing heard that Ding Ning agreed, he hurriedly stood up and said: "It's still my uncle who is easy to talk to, my lord originally moved out of Huai'an City and moved to the countryside in order to avoid the little devil, and then I didn't know that the traitor and the second dog learned the news, so he took the little devil to find it, and asked my lord to be the president of the maintenance association of Huai'an, of course my lord refused, so they arrested all the old men and their wives and locked them up in the devil gendarmerie headquarters in Huai'an City, and let Zhao Ergouzi send a message that let us take 200,000 oceans to ransom people, We were given seven days, and if we didn't get the money within seven days, they were going to shoot the lord and the lady. ” "I heard the news at the time, I felt that the sky was about to fall, although the lord has been in business for many years, a little savings, but where there are so many oceans, this account is in charge of the accounts, I know best how much the old man's family has the foundation, it is absolutely impossible to raise so many oceans in such a short period of time, and then a well-wisher reminded me, saying that the little devil and the Zhao Ergou have long been interested in our lord's real estate belongings, and they have also estimated, and the lord's family has all counted the shops and fields purchased in the countryside in Huai'an City, just a market value of 200,000 oceans. ” "Uncle, it seems that this time the little devil and Zhao Ergouzi together want to copy the old Shen family, and then I thought about it, asked people to inquire, and finally found out that my uncle was here in the New Fourth Army, so I took a few guys in the store, and rushed here overnight, the time limit of the devil has passed for three days, but I have less than fifty or sixty thousand yuan in total on hand and on the books, if the devil shoots the old lady by then, I will not live, I am the one who is going to die, if there is no old man and wife to rescue, I've been starving to death on the side of the road for a long time, uncle, you have to help my lord this time. ” When Ding Ning heard this, he probably knew in his heart, it turned out that his old man in Huai'an was calculated by the traitor and the little devil, not only arrested the person, but also opened his mouth widely, wanting to swallow Lao Shen's family property in one bite.
Ding Ning was anxious, although he had only met this old man once, but the old man was very reasonable, and he was also a relatively enlightened gentry, and he cultivated an only daughter like this, which is enough to see Lao Shen's mind, according to his father-in-law, he naturally had to try his best to help, but Ding Ning thought that now he was no longer the time of the previous independent brigade of the national army, as long as he told Zhou Wuyi, he could take his brothers to Huai'an to save people, now it is the New Fourth Army, you can't act casually, this matter has to be considered in the long run, with the consent of the political commissars.
At this time, a fat man of the regiment commander walked in, and when he saw that there were so many people on Ding Ning's side, and a few of them didn't know him, he asked Lao Ding: "Chief of Staff, aren't you going to rush to Yangzhou with the brothers of the squad, why is there a new situation?"
Ding Ning just wanted to explain, that little Nanjing saw a short and fat, very kind New Fourth Army cadre, and thought he was a big leader here, he felt that Ding Ning estimated that the official here was not as big as the fat man in front of him, so he took the fat man's hand and said: "This commander of the New Fourth Army, you come to persuade our aunt and let him lead the troops to save my master, if it drags on any longer, my lord and wife will be dead." ” As soon as the fat man heard the words of the little offspring in front of him, he knew what was going on, it turned out that the old man who dared to be the chief of staff was in trouble, and he came here to ask the rescuers to save people, and hurriedly said: "Chief of staff, your father-in-law is in trouble, why don't you do it to save you, what are you afraid of?"
Ding Ning heard the fat man's nonsense, and said to him: "Fat man, you don't know, my father-in-law was caught by the little devil and taken to Huai'an City, and was locked up in the military police headquarters. ” Fat man: "Chief of Staff, when is it now, looking at this little brother in a hurry, I am anxious for you, if my sister-in-law knows that her parents were caught by the little devil, maybe how anxious she is, so let's do it, I don't need to ask the brigade and the political commissar to ask them, they went to a meeting more than a hundred miles away yesterday, and they will definitely not come back for a while, look at this brother is anxious, it is estimated that there is not much time, now you are the biggest here, I have absolutely no problem with a regiment, I will send as many soldiers as you want, and I can lead the team in person, Anyway, as long as you say a word, I will immediately go to a group to call someone. ” As soon as Xiao Nanjing heard that this fat man promised to send troops to save him, and heard that Ding Ning was the biggest here, he immediately burst into tears and laughed, feeling that Lao Shen's life had been saved this time, and the young lady really found the right uncle, but I didn't expect my uncle to be such a big official here in the New Fourth Army.
Ding Ning was still hesitating, not that he was afraid that he would violate discipline this time and take someone out to rescue his father-in-law, what would happen if he was removed from his post and become a soldier, but he considered that if this matter implicated Zhou Wu, then the price he paid to rescue his father-in-law was too great, so if something happened, he would have to take responsibility, and he could only bear it alone, and he must not implicate Zhou Wu and them.
Ding Ning made up his mind in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I have manpower here, I can directly transfer the brothers of the brigade guard platoon, you don't want to go, so as not to implicate you, you just need to inform the brigade and the political commissar of this news, it's too late, we have to leave immediately, and don't tell your sister-in-law about this, so as not to worry about her." ” Ding Ning wanted to take the guards and brothers around him to Huai'an, and he didn't want the fat man to be involved, so that even if something happened, as long as he was alone, he couldn't affect Zhou Wu and them.
When the fat man heard Ding Ning's plan, a pair of small eyes glared at the boss: "Chief of Staff, you look down on me too much, what is the relationship between us, life and death buddy, what's the big deal, something happened, the brothers will bear it for you, a few of the brothers in those guard platoons under you can bring them all to the brigade seat I will send someone to inform you, but this time I have done this favor, since I already know about this matter, I must help, so let's do it, half of your guards are out of the brothers, I will pick forty in a group to know, I will lead the team, and you will follow, let's go to Huai'an City together and fish the old gentleman out of the Devil Gendarmerie Headquarters. ” t1706231537:
