It is said that Huang Shuisheng and Ding Ning took the action team to take more than 100 actions from the Tianchangmatan Independent Brigade Headquarters, under the guidance of a local guide who is familiar with the road, quickly marched towards the direction of Yancheng, because this area is still an area controlled by the New Fourth Army, Huang Shuisheng and Ding Ning They walked very easily, talking with the brothers in the team, joking, and unconsciously walked out of the distance of more than ten miles, at this time the team marched to a three-way intersection, facing north can go straight to Huai'an City, towards the south to Yangzhou and Taizhou, Towards the northeast is the target of their action team this time Yancheng, Yancheng is still more than a hundred kilometers away from here, Ding Ning discussed with Huang Shuisheng, and decided to rest here for a while now, look at the map, and wait for a non-stop forced march, there is no reconnaissance and harassment of the planes in the sky at night, and they should take this opportunity to hurry as soon as possible.
Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng took out the military map, illuminated by the captured flashlight, Ding Ningzai carefully searched for the location of the person on the map, what he was thinking about now was how to choose the shortest, fastest and relatively safe route for the action team, as long as he could avoid the inspection posts set up everywhere by devils and puppet soldiers, it was okay to take the reeds and swamps At this moment, several brothers who were broken in the back ran to report: "Regiment commander, the situation has been found behind, three fast horses are running towards this side, it is dark at night, we can't see who the other party is" When Huang Shuisheng heard this, he became nervous at that time, and pulled out the twenty-shot box cannon on his waist and shouted to his brothers: "Quick, immediately disperse and hide, and prepare for battle" The more than 100 brothers of the action team immediately scattered in all directions, found a hidden place on the side of the road and laid an ambush, and all the muzzles of the black holes were loaded with bullets, quietly waiting for Huang Shuisheng's order to fire Ding Ning picked up the binoculars and looked back, in the faint moonlight, he vaguely saw the three horsemen galloping towards this side quickly, and soon Ding Ning found the middle formal rifle behind the two cavalrymen in front of him, and immediately counted in his heart, it was his own people who came, and hurriedly greeted Huang Shuisheng: "Shui Sheng, you all come out, what is coming is our own people, it must be sent by the brigade to inform us" When Huang Shuisheng heard that it was his own people, he hurriedly made a whistle in his mouth, and suddenly a large number of brothers from the action team poured out from both sides of the road, pointing their guns at the three cavalry who ran over, and shouted: "Who is coming, get off the horse quickly" The staff officers of the two brigade headquarters on the horse in front had already seen Ding Ning with gold-rimmed glasses, and hurriedly rolled off the horse with a grunt, panting and roaring: "The chief of staff brigade seat has something important to tell you" Lao Chang, who followed closely, immediately pulled the reins of the horse, and the tall Oriental horse neighed, and the front legs immediately stood upright in human shape, and then quickly landed on the ground with his legs, Lao Chang could turn over and dismount, and while greeting Ding Ning, he walked forward: "Chief of staff, you are moving so fast, you have come to the fork in the road here" Huang Shuisheng hurriedly waved his hand to ask his subordinates to quickly put away the gun: "It's our own people, put down the gun" Ding Ning saw that it was indeed two staff officers of the brigade headquarters, and there was a military commander brother Lao Chang behind him, thinking to himself that there was something new on the brigade seat, and the military commander brother hurriedly came to have something."
The staff officers of the two brigade headquarters chased after them all the way, but they were tired enough, and before they could take a breath, they reported to Ding Ning: "Report to the chief of staff, the brigade seat let us lead the way to lead this military commander brother to catch up, now that our task is completed, we must immediately return to life, we have to set off to Huai'an City immediately."
Ding Ning was stunned when he heard this, these three people hurried all the way, and they were going back without saying anything, which one of them is singing, Lao Chang looked at it, and hurriedly said: "Chief of Staff, these two brothers really don't know the purpose of my pursuit here, I came here with a special pass obtained by our Nanjing Military Command Station through the comrades in the inner line of the Devil's Command, and the brigade also asked me to assist your action team to go to Yancheng to rescue the captured Americans, I have been in Yancheng for a few years, and I am more familiar with the situation there, Moreover, there are quite a few comrades of our military command who have been lurking in Yancheng, and I am familiar with them all, and it is easy for me to get in touch with them. ” Ding Ning only understood the purpose of this military commander brother Lao Chang hurriedly coming here, and hurriedly said to the two brigade headquarters staff officers: "Okay, then you hurry back and resume your life, report to the brigade, even if we have met Lao Chang, let him rest assured that he can be contacted by radio if there is something." ” The staff officers of the two brigade headquarters immediately stepped on horseback, and as soon as they lifted the reins, the Oriental horse immediately neighed twice, and flew towards the south at a gallop, Ding Ning took Lao Chang's hand and said to him: "Brother Lao Chang, you can come in time, we happen to be confused here, you see, there are three big roads leading to Yancheng at this three-way crossing, and seven or eight small roads, I was studying just now, which road we take is the fastest and closest, and it is relatively safest to go."
Lao Chang immediately squatted down and carefully studied the map, looked at it for a while, and said to Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng: "I see that there is no safest way to Yancheng here, the little devils and the puppet army have gone crazy, this time it is really a big deal, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Huai'an, Yancheng so the devils and puppet troops are almost all dispatched, and checks are set up at each intersection, and even the roads in the countryside are not spared, and a large number of traitors who maintain the club are also dispatched to help the devils arrest people everywhere." ” Ding Ning frowned when he heard that there was no way out, and said to Lao Chang: "Lao Chang, you are more familiar with this place, is there no shortcut, and our brothers have to break through the blockade of the devil puppet army one by one."
"Yes, the little devil has carried out a clean-up campaign in the countryside in the past two years, divided the countryside into a block of areas, forcibly relocated the people to one place, dozens of households set up a security chief, a platoon of the puppet army is stationed nearby, and the method of sitting together is also implemented, once the traces of the anti-Japanese armed forces are found in the local area, the security chief must report to the puppet army in time, if it is concealed and not reported, the devil will take dozens of ordinary people to open the knife, so that the local people are panicked, and some of the money have fled to other places.
Of course, many of them have gone to the base of your New Fourth Army, so if so many of us want to break through there, we will definitely alarm the local devils and puppet army, so there is no safe route for me to work here.
Lao Chang carefully analyzed Ding Ning.
Huang Shuisheng was anxious when he heard this, and said to Lao Chang with his eyes: "It doesn't matter if he is safe or not, according to me, he will rush over directly, and kill those devils and puppet troops with three strikes and five divisions, and we will not be over if we break through."
Ding Ning hurriedly said to Huang Shuisheng: "Shui Sheng, don't be anxious, we have to rescue those Americans this time, and we also want to avoid the little devils from being angry and angry with the innocent people here, so we still have to choose a route, which can not only avoid the crowded places in the village, but also get to Yancheng safely and quickly, I don't believe that we will not be able to find one of so many big roads and small roads."
Lao Chang nodded yes, this was Huang Shuisheng's inspiration, and said: "Chief of Staff, Brother Lao Chang hurriedly caught up just now, what did he bring?"
When Lao Chang heard this, he hurriedly patted his head: "Ah, look at my memory, I almost forgot about the important matter, No, this is a temporary special pass for the devil obtained by the comrades on the inside line of our military command Nanjing Station at the risk of killing their heads, and it is stamped with the seal of the Devil Command, but it is still blank, I think you should be able to come in handy with this thing" Lao Chang was reminded by Huang Shuisheng, and immediately remembered it, and hurriedly said.
When Ding Ning heard this, he stretched out his hand to Lao Chang: "Bring it, I'll take a look" Lao Chang took out a large stack of special passes and handed them to Ding Ning, Ding Ning took it and took a closer look and said: "There should be nothing wrong with this certificate, but there is no photo on it, I guess I can't get past the checkpoints in front." ” When Lao Chang heard this, he hurriedly said to Ding Ning: "This time, the pass issued by this devil in a hurry has no photos, and the little devil thought of a more ruthless move."
The people who hold this kind of temporary special pass are registered at the headquarters, and as soon as the devils or puppet troops below see this kind of special pass, they must confirm it to the headquarters of the devil dispatch army in Nanjing, and the inner line ruler who entered the devil's headquarters at our military command station is just in charge of this, so he took the risk to get out a batch of documents, and Station Commander Ye also issued an order to this insider comrade who was lurking in the heart of the devil to evacuate and conceal, once the direction of Yancheng started, let him get out immediately, so as to avoid unnecessary losses" "Oh, I see, no wonder these special passes are blank, that's easy, I have a plan, what do you think" Ding Ning thought of a bold plan of action in his mind.
"Chief of Staff, tell me quickly."
Huang Shuisheng was a little impatient, and hurriedly urged Ding Ning.
Ding Ning said: "We have more than a dozen documents here, you can disguise yourself as a devil in the plainclothes team, and the rest of the brothers will keep a certain distance from the brothers in front of the disguise and follow closely behind, until they meet the devil, depending on the situation, if they meet the little devils of the brigade, they will immediately retreat and detour and find other routes to advance, and when they encounter a team of devils or puppet soldiers, the brothers in front of the disguise will entangle with the devils to delay time, and the brothers in the back will quickly step forward, try not to shoot, use knives to solve the enemy, and then pick off the yellow skin of the devils, We're dressed up as a Japanese squad, I know Japanese, and we should be able to get through the border to Yancheng with these documents. ” "Okay, this method is good, I think we can also talk about the military uniforms on our bodies on those devils, just let the little devils know, and look at the new Fourth Army uniforms on their bodies for a while."
Huang Shuisheng applauded repeatedly, just now he was thinking about this problem in a hazy mind, but he didn't expect the chief of staff's brain to turn faster than him, and soon formed a specific action plan. t1706231537:
