Sure enough, Zhou Wu listened to Lao Xu's bold idea, and hurriedly shook his head: "Lao Xu, your idea is good, but I don't see any drama, think about it, what kind of person is Lao Jiang, he will give the good things that the US military aided him to the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army It is impossible, that is, in his national army, he is also divided into the central army and the local miscellaneous army, even in the central army, there is a difference between the descendant and the non-descendant, I think this is definitely no fun, or don't count on it, let's think of other feasible ways." ” Political Commissar Niu also thought that Lao Xu's method was not feasible, and seeing the two leaders shaking their heads, Lao Xu didn't say anything anymore, and asked: "The brigade, we just watched with so much money in hand, but we couldn't get some arms and materials."
Zhou Wu couldn't think of any way for a while, so he had to suggest that he let go of this matter first, and then think of a way when he went back to the Tianchang Brigade Department, there would always be a way, but he couldn't think of it now.
After the independent brigade returned to the garrison Tianchangmatan, it immediately entered a rest, the fat man was very happy in the past two days, most of the more than 2,000 prisoners captured by Xiao Zheng of the third regiment chose to join the ranks of the New Fourth Army, and were divided into a regiment by Zhou Wuquan, and the fat man was busy all of a sudden, either training recruits every day, or running around to guide the work of the battalions below.
It's hard, but it's a fulfilling life.
Mr.
Shen insisted on donating all the property buried in Shuihong Village to the New Fourth Army, Division Commander Li and Zhou Wu did many ideological work on Mr.
Shen, but failed to make him retract the decision, and finally there was no way, Division Commander Li decided to leave one-tenth of the property to Lao Shen as a private pension fee, and the Jiangbei Command of the New Fourth Army accepted the donation of the rest of the property.
Mr.
Shen's fame spread all at once in the anti-Japanese base in Jiangbei.
Some enlightened gentry with financial resources have imitated Lao Shen's righteous deeds, and set off an upsurge of enthusiastic donations of materials and property to the New Fourth Army in the Jiangbei anti-Japanese base area, which has greatly improved the economic situation of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei and provided a very good economic foundation for the New Fourth Army to recruit troops and horses and develop and grow.
For a time, the morale of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the New Fourth Army in the Jiangbei headquarters was high, they were full of spirit, and they trained hard, and they were ready to find those devils and puppet troops who occupied the big cities next to them to train their hands, and lay down several county towns to expand the base areas, so that several small base areas in Jiangbei that were divided by devils were connected.
Ding Ning's injury was treated by the herbal secret recipe of Shi Gazi, the commander of the health company, coupled with Shen Lina's meticulous care, and slowly recovered, and he had fully recovered and healed after two months.
Just when everyone was happily eating at the brigade headquarters, the brigade staff officer ran in with a telegram, Zhou Wu saw that the staff officer's expression was different, and felt that something must have happened, so he hurriedly put down his wine glass and got up and asked, "What is the urgent telegram from?"
The staff officer saluted and reported: "Report to the brigade seat, the division headquarters has sent an urgent telegram, asking you and the chief of staff and the political commissar to go to the division headquarters immediately to discuss the important emergency military situation."
Zhou Wu listened, yes, it seems that it is no fun to finally get together to drink and chat today, the division commander is generally not so anxious to ask us to pass, there must be some tricks on the little devil's side, maybe the Wang puppet army has made a big move again, looking for our Jiangbei New Fourth Army to find the field where a puppet army division was completely annihilated last time The emergency telegram from the division headquarters came, so that Zhou Wu didn't even have the interest to drink and celebrate, and hurriedly called Ding Ning and Niu Political Commissar and others to hurry towards the division headquarters a hundred miles away, and it was already night when they set off, and the group rode horses and hurried desperately, and they had just arrived at the division headquarters at more than twelve o'clock in the evening.
Walking into the room, Zhou Wu felt a tense and serious atmosphere surround it, the leaders of the division headquarters were present, Chen Guofu and they also came, Chen Guofu saw Zhou Wu and them come in, and hurriedly nodded to them to say hello, Master Li hurriedly came over and said: "Comrade Zhou Wu, you have come just in time, there is something to discuss with you, this matter we have never encountered before, please come and express your opinions, see what good solutions can be made, everyone speaks freely, there is nothing to scruple about, What to say. ” Zhou Wu hurriedly asked the division commander: "Division, what is the matter that we have never encountered?"
"Comrade Zhou Wu, you came a little late, I don't know about this matter, I'm telling comrades, three days ago, the Sixth Theater sent a telegram to our Jiangbei Command, saying that a field observation group composed of US military officers is coming to our New Fourth Army for inspection, and the purpose is to prepare to provide necessary material assistance to our New Fourth Army.
Therefore, after seeking the consent of the military headquarters, our command headquarters invited this field investigation group of US military officers to visit our base area. ” "It was supposed to be here this morning, but it was already more than 12 o'clock in the evening, and there was still no news from them, and they sent a telegram to ask the Sixth Theater Command, and they replied that they had already set off, and now it is estimated that they have all arrived at us, this US military field investigation group has twelve US military officers, and the leader is a US colonel, most of whom are officers at the rank of captain, and the theater command said that it sent a reinforced company of troops to escort them over, and it has not yet arrived at us, according to our preliminary analysis, It is estimated that they may have been attacked by devils or puppet soldiers on the way, if this is the case, our Jiangbei command will have to consider a rescue plan, we have never dealt with these Americans before, and you said that this matter has never been encountered by us.
The division commander said to Zhou Wu.
When Zhou Wu heard this, it turned out to be a relationship with the allied Americans, no wonder the division commander was so anxious to ask them to come to the division headquarters to discuss, these Americans came to the New Fourth Army to see the situation, and also to provide necessary assistance to the New Fourth Army, for the New Fourth Army, which currently lacks military supplies such as arms, ammunition, medicines, etc., it is really a relief in the snow, according to Zhou Wu's thoughts, not to mention assistance, as long as there are weapons, ammunition and other things, it is good to use the property donated by Lao Shen to the New Fourth Army to buy from the Americans, they all say that American-made weapons are light and flexible, The power is fierce and the range is long, and it is not easy to fight a little devil if you can have these good things to arm the New Fourth Army team.
This time, such a field investigation group of US military officers suddenly disappeared on the way to the New Fourth Army station, and there is no news at all, which really makes the division commanders and them upset, but American friends have come to help us New Fourth Army resist Japan, and if they are intercepted by those little devils on the way, then our New Fourth Army in Jiangbei will have a great responsibility, not only is it difficult for US military friends to explain, but also in the Sixth Theater, although the relationship between the New Fourth Army and the Sixth Theater these days can be said to be very sensitive.
Now that the defense areas of the two sides are close to each other, it would be good if there was no friction, but the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are still working on the anti-Japanese united front, and everyone has not completely torn their faces, so we should deal with the disappearance of the US military field investigation group in accordance with the methods of friendly forces.
Zhou Wu heard this and asked the division commanders: "Division commander, then what route did they take to come to us?"
In Zhou Wu's impression, if the US military officer delegation departed from Suxian in northern Anhui, where the Sixth Theater Command is located, it could pass through the defense area of our New Fourth Army on the west bank of Hongze Lake, and all the way were the defense areas of the Nationalist Army and the New Fourth Army, and there were almost no strongholds of Japanese devils there Sure enough, the division commander shook his head and said to Zhou Wu and them: "Originally, we suggested that they take this land route west of Hongze Lake, but I don't know how the gang of people in the Sixth War Zone fooled the US army, the head of the US military field investigation group thought that the area west of Hongze Lake was all the defense area of the Chinese army, and he couldn't see the Japanese, and he couldn't show the purpose of coming here this time, so he chose to bypass Hongze Lake and go down from the southeast of Huai'an City, which was heavily guarded by devils, along the east bank of Hongze Lake, this road is not only a long way, And along the way are big cities occupied by devils, just in Huai'an and Taizhou, Yangzhou each has a devil's brigade there, it is clearly a dangerous road full of tigers and wolves, but the American just chose this road, and those guys in the sixth theater did not stop it, so with the temperament of this American, a reinforced company was sent on the road, I think they are more than lucky. ” When Zhou Wu heard this, he felt that it was too ridiculous to do things in this sixth war zone, how could there be such a way to do it, and he didn't take a safe route, so he had to choose a dangerous road full of devil defense areas to come here, those Americans are really, they have been fighting here for several years, and they still think that this life-and-death war is like playing at home, and they always want to have some excitement or something, thinking that coming to the New Fourth Army as an expedition and archaeology is really unreasonable.
Ding Ning was also present, and when he heard the division commander's briefing, he said to the division commander: "Division commander, I think that the Sixth Theater has a profound meaning in arranging the route of the US military field investigation group in this way, and it is normal that they will not agree to this extremely dangerous plan of the eastern route proposed by the US military. ” t1706231537:
