Zhang Ercheng was furious: "Of course you can fight such a long distance, and the devil gunboats are running so fast, you can fight but you can't fight it, those devil gunboats think that we can't catch up with them, and they still have to turn back, listen to my command, the maximum range of the 75 mountain guns is fired sequentially, even if they can't blow up the devil gunboats, they have to scare them back."
In the face of Zhang Ercheng's "clang" of the shells, which fell around the gunboat and set off a burst of high water columns, the devil Dazuo completely lost the confidence to continue the artillery battle with Zhang Ercheng and them, seeing the small sampans chasing after him, thinking about the situation where the little devils on the troop carrier were pulled into the water by these water ghosts and stabbed to death, the devil Dazuo howled and ordered the gunboats to retreat at full speed and disengage from the fleet of the Chinese people.
Zhang Ercheng took the gunboat to chase the devil gunboats for a distance, and felt that it was far beyond the range of the devil's guns, so he ordered the gunboats to return the same way and participate in the siege of the devil brigade against Huang Shuisheng and his brothers in the spy group.
After solving the threat of the devil gunboat to the Huang Shuisheng special service group besieging the devil brigade, Zhang Ercheng rushed back to the Shuihong Village ferry with the gunboat, and found that the devil remnants who were surrounded by the special service group and the first regiment and the second regiment were still desperately resisting, and the number of devils was only about a hundred, but there was no intention to stop and give in, the lame devil captain was still there howling and ordering the devil to resist, and the brothers rushed to the devil several times, and they were all beaten back by these crazy little devils, and the casualties were not small.
At this time, the sky was already bright, fortunately no sun rose, thick clouds covered the entire sky, the weather was gloomy, and he seemed to feel sorry for the tragic battle here below, Zhou Wu couldn't stay in the back, and hurriedly took the brigade staff officer to the fat man, and asked him why he still couldn't take the devil brigade until now When the fat man saw that Zhou Wudu had personally rushed to the forefront, he was also anxious, and glared at the blood-red little eyes and promised: "Brigade seat, the little devil on the other side is fucking hard, but I think they are also so good to us that they are almost the same, this time I will bring more than a hundred death squads to rush up, and I will definitely be able to wipe them all out." ” The fat man wants to use the stupid method of the death squad to fight hard again, this is the trick he used to use often, although the casualties of the brothers will be greater, but it is still tried and tested, and it is very effective.
Zhou Wu disagreed: In order to eliminate this devil brigade, the brothers of the independent brigade paid a great price, you look at how many brothers in your regiment are now able to fight with guns, wait for the next solution to this devil brigade, we will immediately go north and Lao Chen and their first brigade round, to repel the siege of Lao Chen and them by the devil field brigade, but there can be no more big casualties, you have to use your brains to fight, don't blindly think about fighting and rushing.
Zhou Wu took the binoculars and carefully looked at the battle situation at the front, and immediately ordered Huang Shuisheng's brothers in the spy group who were interspersed behind the devil to attack the devil, and Ge Sanmin's second regiment drove the devil to the reed on the shore of Hongze Lake, and at the same time sent someone to notify Huang Shuisheng, so that they could cooperate with their tactical actions, deliberately let go of a hole on the side of the ferry, and immediately ordered Zhang Ercheng to fire incendiary bombs at the devils who entered the reeds around the reeds, leading the dry reeds.
There are no incendiary bombs, and Lao Zhang has to find a way to solve it himself The captain of the devil brigade in the encirclement seemed to know Zhou Wu's tactical intentions, and with the remaining more than 100 little devils, he just didn't retreat to the dry and easy to catch fire reeds over there, and Zhang Ercheng, who was so angry that he was waiting on the lake to prepare for fire burning reeds, scolded for a while, felt bored, picked up the artillery scope and looked at the situation of the devil for a while, and suddenly came up with a solution in his mind.
When he saw that the lame devil was pointing over there, it was estimated that it was a devil's head, Zhang Ercheng stretched out his thumb and roughly calculated the distance, thinking that the 75 mountain artillery should be within reach, so he ordered the artillery under his hand: "The target is directly in front of the left, the elevation angle is 20 degrees, a rapid shot, release" A 75 mountain artillery shell roared out of the cannon chamber and flew out, with a scream of death fell three miles away beside the devil captain who was desperately howling at the devil, in the booming explosion, Zhang Ercheng used a telescope to find through the smoke of the explosion that the devil captain had been blown up by the shell, and even the little devil infantry next to him was sent back to the little Japanese hometown by the 75 mountain artillery shells.
The remaining 100 or so people of the devil brigade saw that their captain was destroyed by the shells, and they couldn't even find a piece of the bones, and their confidence immediately collapsed.
Seeing this opportunity, Liu Fatzi, who had a fire in his heart, took a group of hundreds of brothers who were left to kill those little devils desperately, and rushed into the devil formation to slaughter like chopping melons and vegetables, and the brothers swept away the leaves with a gust of autumn wind to kill all these devil soldiers who had collapsed their wills, and there was no one left, leaving a large number of corpses on the soft sand of the ferry by Hongze Lake.
As the last little devil who resisted "Puff" fell, Zhou Wu, the fat man and Huang Shuisheng came to the ferry together, looking at the corpses of the devils lying on the ground and the remaining scarred brothers, Zhou Wu gritted his teeth and ordered them: "All the teams of the Independent Brigade immediately set off north, marched to the south of Huai'an City, and detoured to the back of the Devil Field Brigade."
Although the fat man and Huang Shuisheng were so tired that they were about to collapse after fighting for almost a night in order to eliminate this difficult bone devil brigade at this time, they thought that the brothers of the First Brigade of the New Fourth Army in the north were being desperately besieged by the Little Devil Field Brigade, and the situation was precarious, so they braced up their spirits and took the lead of a group of political work cadres such as Political Commissar Niu, and they had no time to clean up the battlefield and hurried to the north.
Zhou Wu considered that the place where Lao Chen and the Devil Field Brigade encountered happened to be located in Hudong Town on the shore of Hongze Lake, in order to rush there with the brothers of the Independent Brigade to support Lao Chen and them as soon as possible, Zhou Wu asked Huang Shuisheng to take the special service group He and the brothers of the Third Regiment all took the Hongze Lake waterway to the north, landed and landed at the ferry north of Hudong Town, seized the Hudong Town Road, which was three or four miles away from the north, cut off the northward retreat of the Devil's Field Brigade, and contained the Devil's offensive forces.
He personally took the brothers of the first and second regiments of the fat man to the north by land, and divided them into two ways to encircle the devil brigade, and when the order was issued, Huang Shuisheng immediately raised the difficulty of taking the waterway: "Brigade seat, we don't have enough ships now, we can only load the brothers of the special service regiment, Lao Zhang's artillery company can barely squeeze in, there are so many brothers in the third regiment, I don't think there are any extra ships going north from the waterway."
When Zhou Wuyi heard Huang Shuisheng's difficulty, he felt that it made sense, he was taking it for granted just now, and he was patronizing how to get to Chen Guofu and them as quickly as possible, without considering the carrying problem of this existing ship.
He looked at the vast Hongze Lake, looked at the small boat on the lake in a daze, and suddenly his eyes fell on the devil gunboat that was lying on the lake with smoke from the shelling of Lao Zhang and them, and hurriedly turned his head and asked the quartermaster Lao Xu who had been following him: "Lao Xu, do you have any talents under your command who can repair the power system of the steamboat, if there is such a talent, do you see if you can repair the devil gunboat lying in the nest."
Lao Xu said "ah", hurriedly took Zhou Wu's telescope and looked at the lake, and said: "Brigade seat, there are a few brothers under me who repair power, but they used to repair light tanks and tank power systems in the national army.
When Lao Xu heard Zhou Wu say this, he suddenly remembered that our independent brigade was from the Central Army in the past, and there were still talents in tinkering with the power system.
When Zhou Wu heard this, he shook his head: "Didn't Lao Cheng be transferred to Yan'an to study at Kang University a few days ago, and our party should also train a skilled professional like Lao Cheng, maybe at this time he is teaching tank knowledge to young students in the Yan'an cave, far water can't save near fire, Lao Xu, you still have to think of other ways." ” "Lao Cheng is not here, those brothers under him are still serving as infantry in our independent brigade, why don't I call them as advisers."
Lao Xu didn't give up, he knew that Lao Cheng's subordinates were now serving as company and platoon commanders on the fat side, and they were invited to be technical guides.
Zhou Wu hurriedly nodded and asked the brigade headquarters staff to find all the subordinates of Lao Cheng in the first regiment, and the brigade headquarters staff officer soon came back to report: "The brothers of the first regiment have suffered heavy casualties, and the brothers who the brigade is looking for are all wounded, and they are now healing in Shuihong Village." ” When Zhou Wu heard this, his heart shook violently, it seems that the fat man's regiment has lost a lot in this battle, and so many platoon commanders have been wounded, so it can be seen how many brothers can be left in the regiment who can fight with guns.
He didn't want to bother the brothers who were honorably wounded and went out of the firing line, but thinking about Chen Guofu, the first brigade of the New Fourth Army, they were in danger of being eaten by the devil brigade at any time, Zhou Wu still ordered the brigade staff officer against his will: "Go back to Shuihong Village quickly, contact and coordinate with the health company, it is best to have someone escort, Lao Cheng's brothers who are less injured come over here, time is urgent, come immediately" After hearing Zhou Wu's order to go back, the few old Cheng men who had not yet been carried to the health company said that their injuries did not matter, and a few of them didn't even want a stretcher, and they wanted to come over directly, but they were stopped by Shen Lina, who received the order, and sent a few Zhou Wu's guards to escort these professionals back to Zhou Wu's side. t1706231537:
