The fat man was about to fall into the division and encirclement of the Miyamoto Brigade on the Pingqiao position, and a large number of little devils broke into the Pingqiao position, seeing that the position was about to fall at a critical moment, the independent brigade led by Zhou Wu finally arrived, and launched a fierce attack on the devil from behind the Miyamoto Brigade, plus the other departments of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army have begun to storm the nest of the Miyamoto Brigade Huai'an City, in order to ensure that the nest does not fall into the hands of the New Fourth Army, Miyamoto decided to stop the attack on Pingqiao, and the brigade retreated quickly to aid Huai'an City, so far, luck has been good, The fat man, who can always save the day at the most dangerous time, escaped again, and saved Pingqiao Town, which is crucial to the safe return of Ding Ning of the rescue team, and also saved the only more than 100 brothers left on the blocking position, more than 300 brothers who were ordered to block the devil from entering Yancheng in Pingqiao, and when they turned with Zhou Wu and their team, after counting, only more than 100 people remained, and most of them were lost, and in order to rescue those captured Yankees this time, they sacrificed so many good brothers of the independent brigade, paid such a big price, and the fat man was still muttering in his heart at this time: Is it worth it for us to spend so much money to rescue those Yankees Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng carried the bodies of the sacrificed brothers in battle, and under the guidance of the old man, they bypassed the Watanabe little devils who rearranged their positions in front and prepared to fight to the death with the brothers of the action team, and six brothers who stayed behind stayed in the reeds outside Haidong Port and played hide and seek with Watanabe, and when Watanabe found out that most of the action team had made a detour and rushed out of Haidong Port, he was angry and ordered his little devil artillery to fire poison gas bombs at the six broken brothers in the reeds.
The poisonous gas soon enveloped the entire reed, and when their consciousness was about to be blurred, the six heroic squad brothers resolutely pulled the only two grenades left on their bodies, and all died heroically in the reeds in an earth-shattering explosion.
At this time, Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng, who were already walking halfway through, heard the explosion in the reeds on the side of Haidong Port, and knew that the six brothers who stayed behind had been sacrificed, although they knew at the beginning that the possibility of the six brothers who stayed behind and broke off was very small, but when they heard the explosion at this time, Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng still stopped unwillingly and looked in the direction of the reeds that exploded over there.
Huang Shuisheng grabbed the chest of the American soldier Robles and yelled at him: "It is to save you foreign devils that so many good brothers have died in our independent brigade, you foreign devils, you have to guard the spirits of our dead brothers when you go back" Huang Shuisheng was emotional, his eyes were blood-red, and he grabbed the pale Robles with one hand, and it seemed that he was out of control.
"Shui Sheng, don't mess around, these brothers died in the hands of devils, what does it have to do with these foreigners, they are here to help us, not our enemies, at least not now, let them go, it's too unusual" Ding Ning saw that Huang Shuisheng was about to lose control, and hurriedly drank and ordered him to stop.
Huang Shuisheng had no choice, so he had to let go of the hand that only grabbed Robles's chest, and the other American officers saw that this New Fourth Army officer was out of control, although they didn't know what Huang Shuisheng was yelling about, but it could be seen from the angry look on his face that he was sad and resentful of his comrades-in-arms who lost their siblings due to the rescue of the American officers.
Robles and the American officers had to bow their heads and stay there honestly.
At this time, seeing that Huang Shuisheng was out of control and almost beat the Yankees, the military commander brothers often limped over, patted Huang Shuisheng on the shoulder and said: "Brother Shuisheng, these brothers who sacrificed their lives in battle are not to save these Yankees, what are these Yankees, we will temporarily record this blood debt, and when the time comes, we will settle the accounts with the little devils, I don't think this day will be too long."
Huang Shuisheng listened to the advice of Lao Chang and Ding Ning, let go of that Robles, and slowly turned around and saluted in the direction of the smoking reeds on the side of Haidong Port, Ding Ning and Lao Chang also followed Huang Shuisheng to salute over there, Robles and other dozen or so US military officers also raised their hands and performed a standard American military salute over there, at this time, everyone was very solemn and serious, and those US military officers also put away their usual cynical looks, and saluted the reeds over there.
Thanks to these soldiers of the New Fourth Army who have never known each other for sacrificing their precious lives to rescue them.
Ding Ning and they rushed to the secret stronghold of the military commander on the outskirts of Yancheng, and dug out three large trucks from a pile of firewood and grass in the village, and looked at the kind of Toyota truck used by the little Japanese devils, one car could fit seventy or eighty people, Ding Ning ordered the brothers to carry the bodies of the sacrificed brothers up and put them on the ground, and the rest of the brothers all got on the car, and quickly retreated in the direction of Pingqiao under the cover of night.
Be ready for battle.
In fact, Ding Ning was too worried at this time, and after the head of the devil in Nanjing knew that the captured US officers had been robbed by the action team of the New Fourth Army, he had already ordered the Japanese troops in various places to quickly return to their original positions, including issuing an order to retreat to the Miyamoto Brigade that was retreating in the direction of Huai'an, but only ordered all Wang puppet army units along the way to closely watch the movements of the New Fourth Army action team.
Ding Ning and they had a thrilling smooth return to Pingqiao, at this time the battle on the Pingqiao position has just ended, the smoke has not yet dissipated, the fat man they escaped from death, and they are cleaning the battlefield with their brothers, Ding Ning They came over in a big truck of devils, and a group of brothers who were sentry in front thought that the little devils had killed them, and they all immediately entered a state of combat readiness.
The brothers of the rescue team and the large force of the independent brigade finally turned on the flat bridge.
There was jubilation on the battlefield, the soldiers threw their hats and other things into the sky, the brothers hugged each other tightly, Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng reported to Zhou Wu: "Report to the brigade, the independent brigade rescue team will return to the team after completing the mission" Zhou Wuyi grabbed Ding Ning and Huang Shuisheng's hands: "Okay, great, your action team fought well, not only completely rescued the US officers, but also brought back most of the brothers of the action team, the division commander just sent a telegram affirming the operation of our independent brigade and asking us to return to the Tianchangmatan garrison immediately."
At this time, Zhou Wu saw the three Toyota trucks lying in rows of martyrs' remains, and took off his hat in pain, and the people around him also took off their hats to salute, and the brothers raised their guns to the sky, and fired three shots in a row to pay tribute to these brothers who died in the battle.
Robles estimated that this tall and dignified officer of the New Fourth Army might be Zhou Wu, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Zhou Wu and said: "Hello Brigade Commander Zhou, Colonel Robles, head of the field investigation team of the officers of the US Army China Theater, greets you, thank you for the rescue of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, I am very grateful."
In terms of military rank, Zhou Wu should be one level higher than Robles, and if the commander of the independent brigade is in the US army, he will have to mix with the rank of brigadier general, so this Robles's etiquette just now is still more decent and reliable, perhaps the scene just now completely changed the American soldier's consistent view of the Chinese army, especially the Communist New Fourth Army, so he couldn't help but restrain his arrogant and self-righteous attitude, and became respectful and modest.
Zhou Wu held Robles' hand, nodded politely and said: "Hello Colonel Robles, welcome to our China, we welcome you to help us fight the robbers and Japanese devils, although we are far away from the ocean, but we are now friends in a trench, you are in trouble, we rescue, that is as it should be, don't say anything thank you." ” Zhou Wu said this is polite words, also called diplomatic rhetoric, among the US military officers a few proficient in Chinese, Zhou Wu's words to Robles, Robles immediately gave a thumbs up to Zhou Wu praise: "Brigade Commander Zhou is good, not only has the ability to fight, diplomacy is also good, admiration, admiration, our US military field investigation team came here for the purpose of always inspecting the situation of China's anti-Japanese armed forces in the East China battlefield, now after such an incident, I think we can draw conclusions, Your New Fourth Army is the unit that really resists Japan and fights devils on the battlefield in East China, which is completely different from what your Chairman Chiang told us, and we believe in our own judgment."
Robles, although they were arrogant and self-righteous, they still had some sense of integrity, and when they saw with their own eyes these ragged clothes and old weapons rescued them from the hands of the Japanese, who were armed to the teeth, they felt how ridiculous what Chairman Chiang in Chongqing said to them, and they could not even understand why Chairman Chiang, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in the Chinese Theater, hated such a truly anti-Japanese force so much that not only obstructed international aid, but also wanted to kill the New Fourth Army at every turn.
Except for that Zhou Wu immediately ordered all the independent brigades to retreat, and it was not too late to wait for everything to return to the Tianchang station, and all the bodies of those sacrificed comrades were brought back, especially in order to save the body of Liu Sanying, the female second lieutenant of the military commander who Ding Ning blocked the devil's shot, Zhou Wu specially ordered a truck to be set aside to return, and after arriving at the Tianchang station, he contacted the stationmaster Ye in Nanjing to deal with the aftermath. t1706231537:
