Zhou Wu, the commander of the independent brigade who commanded the battle in Shuihong Village at the headquarters of a regiment in the village, had already received a good news from Xiao Zheng of the third regiment at this time, and the brothers of the three regiments had lured a puppet army division to the ambush circle, and after a fierce battle, the puppet army division was completely annihilated, and the hardcore traitor Zhao Ergouzi was killed on the battlefield, and the two brothers of the military commander had gone back to Nanjing to report the situation to Station Chief Ye, and now the brothers of the third regiment were cleaning up the battlefield and escorting a large number of puppet army prisoners to retreat to Shuihong Village.
After Zhou Wu received the good news that the three regiments had successfully annihilated the puppet army division in the northwest direction, he immediately ordered Xiao Zheng of the third regiment to leave a small part of his brothers to take care of the puppet army prisoners and clean up the battlefield, while the remaining brothers of the three regiments quickly turned to the northeast and joined the battle to annihilate the devil brigade.
At present, although the first regiment and the second regiment and Huang Shuisheng's spy group who are about to rush to the back of the devil form an encirclement of the devil brigade, but it is still impossible to eliminate these desperate and stubborn devils in a short time, Zhou Wu asked the third regiment to immediately set off to reinforce the fat man in the northeast, and obey Liu Fatzi's command, and strive to eliminate this difficult devil brigade before eight o'clock in the morning.
Just at this time, the communication troops of the brigade headquarters under Zhou Wu received an urgent telegram from the division commander Li: According to reliable information, the devil field brigade in Huai'an City has all been dispatched and is rapidly coming in the direction of Shuihong Village, Chen Guofu's first brigade is 20 kilometers south of Huai'an City and encounters and exchanges of fire, the battle between the two sides is stalemate, the division headquarters has urgently ordered the second brigade to quickly move closer to Huai'an City, the devil's nest, and the militia of the county brigades around Hongze Lake are put into the battle to reinforce Chen Guofu's first brigade on the spot.
Moreover, the weapons and equipment were excellent, and it was about to dawn, so he ordered the Zhou Wubu of the Independent Brigade to immediately solve the battle in Shuihong Village, and the main force immediately turned north to reinforce Chen Guofu's brigade and repel the attack of the Devil Field Brigade.
Zhou Wu received this urgent telegram from the division headquarters, and knew that Chen Guofu, who had originally come to reinforce his independent brigade, had now been entangled by the devil field brigade in Huai'an City.
This Devil Field Brigade stationed in Huai'an City is an independent mixed brigade with a full establishment of 8,000 people, under the jurisdiction of three infantry wings, an artillery brigade, and a communications brigade; in addition to the devil brigade that is now fighting the fat man in the northeast of Shuihong Village, Chen Guofu and his first brigade of less than 4,000 people are encountering the devil brigade and the special operations detachment that have gone out of the city to rescue the devil brigade and the special operations detachment, and the New Fourth Army of 4,000 people has independently mixed into a field brigade against the devils of about 7,000 people.
Chen Guofu can lead the brothers of the First Brigade to fight with the little devils, which is still quite good, but it is estimated that it will not last too long, although Commander Li has urgently ordered the county brigades and militia around Hongze Lake to rescue the First Brigade with arms, but it is a drop in the bucket, and it can only delay the attack of the Devil Brigade a little, and it will not save Chen Guofu and them, besides, as soon as the morning dawns, the Devil's Air Force is dispatched, which will be a disaster for our New Fourth Army.
Zhou Wu hurriedly stepped into the place where Ding Ning was rescued, and asked Shen Lina: "How is it, has Lao Ding woken up?"
"I haven't woken up yet, but my blood pressure and heartbeat have recovered, it is estimated that penicillin and Shi Lianchang's herbs have worked, and the black necrotic wound has not continued to spread, and I will wait for two hours to increase the dose of penicillin, which should be able to control the injury" Shen Lina has been on the operating table all night without closing her eyes in order to save her husband.
Zhou Wu patted Shi Gazi on the shoulder and looked at Shen Lina, who had a haggard face: "Continue to rescue, don't be discouraged, I'm going to take all the brothers in the brigade headquarters to the front, the remaining doctors and nurses of the health company will go with me, the devil is coming to reinforcements, we are going to fight a big battle here."
Shen Lina and Shi Gazi nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, maybe when you come back, the chief of staff will have already woken up, I took the pulse just now, and the chief of staff's breathing has been smoothed down, as long as you use Western medicine to control the inflammation of the wound, you should be able to survive." ” Zhou Wu nodded, turned around and ordered those subordinates in the brigade headquarters: "Come with me to the front" Zhou Wu and his party came to a group in the northeast of Shuihong Village, at this time, the fat man and Ge Sanmin were already together, and the devil brigade was very stubborn, and they actually broke through the siege of many brothers in the first and second regiments, and ran to the outside of Shuihong Village near Hongze Lake.
When Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly asked the fat man: "The devils rushed out of the encirclement, then why don't you hurry up and catch up, just watch these devils run away" Zhou Wu was very angry that the fat man couldn't catch up with his brothers, he was worried that if these devils were on their backs and had a round with the devil field brigade that was fighting with Chen Guofu and their first brigade, it would be a big incident, Chen Guofu They would definitely not be able to stop the devils from attacking from the front and back.
As soon as the fat man saw that Zhou Wu was angry, he said that his group wanted to take a breath during this time because of the large casualties, but was interrupted by Zhou Wu: "If the casualties are large, don't pursue the devils, those devils are also the end of the crossbow, now the comparison is to see who can support the last five minutes, and immediately order all the independent brigade teams here to catch up and wipe out all the devil brigades near Shuihong Village."
Zhou Wu spoke, and the fat man naturally had to do it, so the fat man ordered a group of about 300 brothers who were left to fight with guns: "The men of the group will rush up with me and kill all those little devils."
The fat man took out his strength to charge forward, and rushed towards the devil with a shout from the brothers of the second regiment, Ge Sanmin of the second regiment saw that the fat man went up, and also led the brothers of the second regiment to rush towards those frightened little devils from the other direction, and the little devils on the opposite side were panting, but they didn't expect the New Fourth Army to rush over so quickly, and just remembered to fight, they heard a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly sounding behind them.
The land and water teams of the Huang Shuisheng Special Service Group almost killed the back of the little devil at the same time, and it was lively, almost the entire independent brigade rushed to the northeast of Shuihong Village, and nearly 4,000 people surrounded the devil brigade with more than 200 people, and the numerical advantage of twenty to one was compared, even if the little devil had the ability to pass through the sky, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape the entire copper wall, and it was only a matter of time before he was annihilated by the brothers of the independent brigade.
The captain of the devil brigade, who was hit in the thigh by a bullet and was wounded, saw that there were thousands of soldiers of the New Fourth Army rushing over head-on, and saw that there were only more than 200 imperial warriors left under his command, and thought to himself that he should never do it again, only by rushing out of the weak point of the New Fourth Army can he keep these surviving imperial warriors, otherwise they will all have to be shattered here.
The captain of the devil brigade took a closer look at the situation and found that it was impossible to break through from the front, and the offensive momentum of the New Fourth Army near the direction of Hongze Lake was weak.
Near the direction of Hongze Lake is Huang Shuisheng's spy group, he took the brothers of the waterway around to the ferry behind the devil, and was about to take the brothers ashore to attack the devil, suddenly remembered one thing, the little devils in front have been forced to retreat to the place near the lake by the brothers of the first and second regiments, if the little devils want to break through from here, they must retreat to the shore of Hongze Lake, since the brothers of our special mission group are good at water warfare, then why abandon the boat and go ashore to compete with these little devils on land, Why not take advantage of the advantages of the brothers' boats and on the water to wait for the escaped devils on the shore, so that it is better to wait for the rabbits, and save them from running back and forth.
Therefore, Huang Shuisheng deliberately left a gap here, and just ordered the brothers of about a company to go ashore and rush to the back of the devil, and the brothers of the special agent group who rounded back behind the devil on the other land launched a back attack on the devil, and he took four or five hundred brothers who were familiar with the water to row the boat to the reeds on the edge of the ferry to hide, and quietly waited for the arrival of the little devil who broke out of the encirclement on the shore of Hongze Lake.
And the direction that this devil captain is looking at now is the direction deliberately arranged by Huang Shuisheng, and he thought that the offensive momentum over there was weak, so he hurriedly ordered his little devils to gather and evacuate towards the Hongze Lake ferry.
Zhou Wu saw these little devils running towards the Hongze Lake ferry in the back, afraid that these devils would take advantage of the chaos to run out of the encirclement from the Hongze Lake, so he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked over there in the morning light at dawn, only to see the reeds on the side of the Hongze Lake ferry, the northwest wind was still whirring, and the dry reed poles in the reeds were blown by the northwest wind blowing in the reeds.
Zhou Wu hurriedly asked the brigade staff officer around him about this matter: "The direction of Hongze Lake should have been the attack area of which team" Zhou Wu didn't understand why there were almost a number of troops besieging the devils in other directions in this battle commanded by the fat man, and there were no troops on the shore of Hongze Lake where the devils broke through just now, could it be that the fat man deliberately left this gap, so that the little devil drilled it, did the fat man completely understand the "three are missing one" There is an ambush on the other side of the ferry, waiting for these little devils to run over A series of questions surfaced in Zhou Wu's mind, he carefully looked at the topography of Hongze Lake, and felt that if the fat man really set up an ambush there, it would really be a stroke of genius, the terrain of that place is dangerous, the waterway is responsible, and there are many elbows, as long as a company of troops is arranged there, the retreat of the devil who has worked hard to run out of the encirclement can be completely blocked.
As long as these ambush soldiers hold out on the ferry side for half an hour, the main forces of the 1st and 2nd regiments that arrived later can wipe out all these stubborn little devils on the shore of Hongze Lake and kill none of them. t1706231537:
