Zhou Wu was not worried about the situation on the shore of Hongze Lake, so he hurriedly sent the staff officers of the brigade headquarters with quick legs and feet, asking them to quickly catch up, find the fat man, ask about the deployment of troops on the shore of Hongze Lake, and report to him immediately.
The brigade staff officer found the fat man who was chasing the little devil in front of him, and conveyed Zhou Wu's inquiry to him, and the fat man asked the brigade staff officer to go back and tell Zhou Wu: "In the direction where the devil fled, there should have been a team of Huang Shuisheng there, but now why is there no trace of them, he himself wonders, and he is sending people to find Huang Shuisheng over there."
The staff officer of the brigade headquarters hurriedly ran back to report the matter to Zhou Wu, who was anxiously waiting for the news in the back, Zhou Wu was relieved when he heard it, he knew that Huang Shuisheng was a person who was more knowledgeable in doing things, since the direction on the shore of Hongze Lake was the attack range of his special service group, then he must be ambushing near the shore now, otherwise when it came to the current encirclement devil, why didn't he see the movement over there Zhou Wu immediately sent an order to the fat man and Ge Sanmin: drive these little devils to the ferry on the shore of Hongze Lake, force them back to the situation of facing Hongze Lake, pay attention to keep a distance, unreliable too close, lest the devils fight against the water, and it will not be good to fight with the brothers of the Independent Brigade.
After the fat man received Zhou Wu's order to drive the devil to the ferry on the shore of Hongze Lake, he thought about it, and he must have an ambush over there, otherwise how could Ge Sanmin and I not catch up and solve the devil on the spot, but desperately chased the devil's back butt to the lake Under the desperate pursuit of the Fat Man Regiment and Ge Sanmin's Second Regiment and the hundreds of brothers who had returned to the devil's back, the Devil Brigade Captain took the remaining two or three hundred little devils and hurriedly retreated towards the ferry on the shore of Hongze Lake.
After receiving the information that the Devil Brigade and the Devil Special Operations Detachment encountered an ambush by the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army near Shuihong Village, Noda, the commander of the Devil Military Police in Huai'an City, couldn't sit still, thinking that if this benchmark force was wiped out by the New Fourth Army, then he, the commander of the military police, might not be able to sit for long, for the sake of his own future, Noda couldn't sleep, and hurriedly came to the commander of the Devil Field Brigade stationed in Huai'an City, asking him for help, The Imperial Army Field Brigade was dispatched to rescue the rugged special operations detachment and the devil brigade surrounded by the New Fourth Army, as for Zhao Ergouzi's puppet military division, let them seek more blessings and fend for themselves.
The commander of the Devil's Brigade couldn't do this, so he hurriedly made a phone call to the headquarters of the East China Dispatch Army of the Devil's Devil in Nanjing, asking for instructions on what to do.
As soon as he heard that Qigu was surrounded by the New Fourth Army in the south of Huai'an, he immediately instructed all the Devil's Brigade stationed in Huai'an to come to the rescue, and he and ordered the Devil's Air Force in Nanjing to dispatch bombers immediately after dawn to provide air fire support for the Devil's Brigade, and gave a dead order to the brigade commander to find the special operations detachment in Qigu no matter whether he lived or died The commander of the Devil's Brigade was anxious when he saw Nanjing, and immediately ordered the field brigade stationed in Huai'an to dispatch urgently, and the waterway sent a water detachment composed of four large gunboats to Shuihong Village through the east bank of Hongze Lake, and landed ashore at the Crab Yellow Beach Ferry, and the commander of the Devil's Brigade personally led all the brigade teams from the south of Huai'an City to the area of Shuihong Village, and the commander of the Devil's East China Army in Nanjing also ordered the devils stationed in Taizhou and Yangzhou to urgently dispatch to rescue the special operations detachment in Qigu at all costs.
The Jiangbei Command of the New Fourth Army received a report on the enemy situation from the Jiangnan Command and the Military Headquarters, and asked Division Commander Li to order the Independent Brigade to end the battle of encircling and annihilating the Devil Brigade as soon as possible, and only by destroying the Devil Brigade before the reinforcements from all walks of life arrived at Shuihong Village, and repelling the Devil Brigade stationed in Huai'an, can the current situation of all the devils in East China being dispatched.
For this reason, Commander Chen of the New Fourth Army Military Headquarters ordered the three New Fourth Army divisions in Jiangnan to quickly move north, threaten Nanjing and Yangzhou, force the devils to slow down the reinforcement of the Devil's Brigade in Shuihong Village, and relieve the pressure on Division Commander Li and the Zhou Wu Independent Brigade.
The Sixth Theater Command of the National Army sent nearly 100,000 troops from four armies to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to fight to the death between the devils and the New Fourth Army, and wanted to come over to make some gains.
The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army soon saw the military intentions of the Sixth Theater of the Nationalist Army, and by sending people to contact and negotiate, it demanded that the Nationalist Army not attack the county towns and base areas in northern Jiangsu that were controlled by the armed forces of the New Fourth Army, and that the county towns occupied by the little devils should belong to whoever occupies them first, and in this situation where the national calamity is at the head and the devils in East China are almost pouring out, we can no longer engage in friction and kill each other again in order to fight for territory.
Perhaps these national troops were frightened by the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei before, or they suddenly discovered in their conscience that the 100,000 or so troops of the National Army dispatched by the Sixth Theater basically abided by the principle of not violating the river water with the well water of the New Fourth Army, and took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the devil's troops were empty everywhere to seize several county towns in northern Jiangsu.
The Jiangbei Division of the New Fourth Army, which just happened to be fighting against the devils here, contained a large part of the devil's troops, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the resistance against Japan.
Although the purpose of the national army in the sixth theater was to seize territory, it was better for those county towns to fall into the hands of the national army than in the hands of the Japanese devils After receiving the order from Commander Chen, Division Commander Li hurriedly ordered the Third Brigade remaining at the division headquarters to quickly dispatch and change the original feint in the direction of Huai'an to an actual attack and occupation, and at the same time ordered the Second Brigade to immediately turn around and march south to meet Chen Guofu's First Brigade to block the attack of the Devil's Huai'an Field Brigade on Chen Guofu's First Brigade, so as to buy time for the Independent Brigade to completely annihilate the Devil's Brigade and go north to reinforce Chen Guofu's Brigade.
Now it seemed that the battle could not end before dawn, and Division Commander Li gritted his teeth and ordered his various combat units.
During the day, it is necessary to pay close attention to the planes of the devils in the air and make timely preparations for concealment and protection, so as to avoid large-scale casualties and affect the morale of the soldiers.
At this time, the area around Shuihong Village was full of gunfire and shouting killing, the captain of the devil brigade ran along the shore of Hongze Lake to the north with his lame wounded leg with the only remaining two or three hundred devil soldiers, he finally contacted the commander of the devil brigade who rushed out to reinforce them just now, and got the guarantee of sending a boat to come by water from the direction of Hongze Lake to meet their retreat, so the captain of the devil brigade confidently shouted to his subordinates: "Imperial warriors, the brigade commander has sent a boat from Hongze Lake to meet our retreat, If you try to hold on for a while, we will be able to retreat to Huai'an City in no time."
In accordance with the orders of the head of the New Fourth Army, these guerrillas armed destroyed the highways, dug the roads, laid mines, and laid their own mines in Hongze Lake.
The devil water detachment that was about to set off to rescue the devil brigade could only clear the mines on the lake first, and then dispatch a large gunboat to Shuihong Village.
In this way, it really delayed a lot of time for the Devil Water Detachment, and bought precious time for Huang Shuisheng, who was ambushed on the side of the ferry on the shore of Hongze Lake, to destroy the enemy.
Huang Shuisheng lurked in the reeds with his brothers from the special agent group who were familiar with the nature of the water, and waited for about an hour, when the scout brothers who were responsible for observing the enemy situation on the shore in front rowed over in small boats and reported: "Regiment commander, there are two or three hundred little devils coming from the opposite side."
Huang Shuisheng heard it, that's right, it was the devil brigade that came out of the encirclement, he originally wanted to let the brothers go ashore to intercept them on the spot, but after thinking about it, these brothers under his command are very good at water, and it is much easier to solve these little devils in the lake than on land, so Huang Shuisheng continued to ask the brothers to lurk in the reeds, listen to his gunfire and attack together.
The little devils who broke out of the encirclement ran over, they got rid of the pursuit of the fat man behind them, and shouted in their hearts that "luck" It is a miracle in itself to be able to escape from the hands of the New Fourth Army that is more than 20 times more than them, although the captain of the devil brigade was pierced by a bullet in his thigh, and the pain was so bad that he thought that he would soon see the imperial gunboat sent by the brigade headquarters on Hongze Lake to meet them, he became confident, and kept urging the little devil soldiers who were running slowly behind, so that they could hurry up and escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
Huang Shuishengzi, who was ambushed in the reeds on the shore, watched these little devils approach carefully, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the little devils' plane might be coming, and it was just right to shoot now, rushing out to hit these little devils by surprise Huang Shuisheng thought about it in his heart, and immediately pulled out the two twenty-shot box cannons on his waist, aimed at a devil officer on the shore and fired a shot, the bullet just pierced the back of the devil officer, and the devil officer fell to the ground like a piece of wood that had been suddenly cut in two, and struggled a few times on the soft sand on the shore before moving.
Almost at the same time as the sound of Huang Shuisheng's gun, the five or six hundred brothers of the special service group who were ambushed in the reeds opened fire together, and the dense bullets shot out of the dense reeds, and at the same time they broke the reed rods one after another, they also got into the bodies of the little devils who were not prepared at all, and one by one the little devils who were shot immediately fell to the sand.
When the captain of the devil brigade saw that he had been ambushed here, he immediately shouted: "Find cover and fight back" t1706231537:
