Zhou Wu said to the division commander: "In this situation, I think it is better to set up a bureau and let the devils and puppet soldiers who came to encircle and suppress the base area jump in, so that we can achieve the victory of this anti-encirclement and suppression with the least loss, strictly seal all the news about the plague epidemic in the base area, and deliberately release the news, saying that seventy or eighty percent of the military and civilians in our base area have been infected with this photographable plague germ, and the special medicine that has been snatched is far from enough to treat so many patients.
Let the health company and those medical staff burn the plague patients who are buried deep in the dead every day, and send such false news to the Nanjing devils through the two spies who have been caught by the devils lurking in our base area, as long as the devils believe in this matter, then they will definitely let those cannon fodder puppet soldiers take the lead in besieging the base area, we can set up an ambush to defeat the enemy's advance team, if the devils are afraid of things and dare not come to sweep the base area again, then it is the best, we can concentrate on preventing and controlling the plague, and the devils are still unwillingBecause we are plagued here, the little devils must be carefully protected before they come in, and they must first find us to fight a decisive battle, so I don't think the devils will stay here in the base area anymore, then our base Lao Xu can calmly follow us to the western mountains to evacuate, and after the devil's army all enters the base area epidemic area, we will concentrate our forces to attack it.
Then order the anti-Japanese forces in other places to cut off their retreat and cut off the grain routes, and then they will not be afraid of the withdrawal of these invading little devils. ” The division commander listened to Zhou Wu's deployment, nodded, and said to the political commissar: "Political commissar, I see that Comrade Zhou Wu's deployment of luring the enemy deep and closing the door and beating the dog is feasible, although it is passive, but it is in line with our current actual situation, judging from the current strength of our Jiangbei New Fourth Army, we are still not able to fight a trench war with the little devils who are coming, and fighting this kind of trench warfare is beneficial to the Japanese devils, but it will do more harm than good to us, so we have to rely on guerrilla warfare and movement warfare to deal with the little devils.
This tactic of Comrade Zhou Wu reminds me of a famous battle fought by our chairman in Jinggangshan, in which the chairman used this method to lure the enemy into going deeper, abandoning the city, and not caring about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and led tens of thousands of Red Army troops under his command to circle in the ravines and ravines with the Kuomintang troops who came to encircle and suppress them, and when those Kuomintang troops were dizzy, the chairman concentrated his forces to attack the weak points of the Kuomintang troops in connection with each other, and smashed Chairman Chiang's encirclement and suppression of our Soviet area in one fell swoop.
I have the essence of guerrilla warfare, I agree with this deployment, you can do your best to implement it, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I and the political commissar are your backing."
With the support of the division commander, Zhou Wu felt that his waist was much tougher, and at this time, the sentry outside reported that there was a team of about twenty or thirty people dressed up in the appearance of the New Fourth Army, and they had come to the entrance of the independent brigade village.
When Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly asked the division commander: "Division commander, is it that the New Fourth Army team sent by the military headquarters from Jiangnan has arrived?"
The division commander nodded: "It is estimated that it is, quickly, let's go to the entrance of the village to have a look, and welcome our brother troops of the Jiangnan New Fourth Army to come and support us in fighting the little devils."
The division commander and Zhou Wu came to the entrance of the village together, and among the people who came, there was a tall man who greeted him when he saw the division commander: "Old commander, hello, we meet again."
The division commander smiled and hurriedly stepped forward and held the hand of the tall man: "Xiaoguan, you are good in Jiangnan, the environment there is much more dangerous than ours in Jiangbei, and you can develop and grow in the unobstructed Great Plains Water Township under the noses of devils, which is really amazing." ” The tall man who was called "Xiaoguan" by the division commander "snapped" and gave a standard military salute to the division commander and political commissar: "Report to the old regiment commander, we are very good in Jiangnan, the little devils can't help us, we have the support of the people in Jiangnan, and we are afraid that those little devils will sweep us Although there are endless plains and water networks, there are many reeds, hiding in the reeds, and the gunboats of the little devils are helpless against us." ” "Haha, that's good, that's good, our third regiment is this energy, never afraid of difficulties, I'm sure of this, come, let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Zhou Wu, the brigade commander of our independent brigade, you should have heard of this Comrade Zhou Wu's fame in Jiangnan, and he was a well-known nemesis of devil-killing in Shanghai and Nanjing."
The division commander introduced Zhou Wu to his old subordinate Xiaoguan.
Before Zhou Wu could speak, the little guan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Wu and said to him: "Comrade Zhou Wu's prestige and prestige have long been known, in the Jiangnan area, especially in Changshu Jiangyin, the local people simply say that you are a god-like figure, and it is really a blessing to be able to see the true face today."
Zhou Wu listened to this Xiaoguan's words, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Xiaoguan said seriously, I, Zhou Wu, fought against the Japanese devils in the Jiangyin area of Changshu back then, and it was also my duty, not to mention any great achievements, if it was really as powerful as the villagers said, we would not be able to defend Nanjing City in the future, this is all the wrong love of the local villagers for my Zhou Wu, in fact, it is exaggerated, exaggerated."
Zhou Wu hurriedly explained.
That Xiao Guan smiled, saluted Zhou Wulizheng with a serious expression, and said: "Guan Cheng, the head of the first detachment of the Jiangnan Guerrilla Column of the newly formed Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, reports for duty, and asks Comrade Brigade Commander for instructions."
Zhou Wu heard it, oh, it turns out that your name is Guan Cheng, and hurriedly replied: "Comrade Guan Cheng doesn't have to be polite, come to our independent brigade, we are a family, this time the superiors transferred your first detachment to support our independent brigade, it really helped us a lot, a few days ago I was still worried about the deployment of troops, I didn't think that the military department could send you to support us, great, come here, let's not stand outside and talk, comrades have worked hard all the way, enter the brigade headquarters to speak." ” "Haha, brigade commander, wait a minute, our big army is still waiting three miles behind, I'll send a signal to go over and let them catch up" Guan Cheng said to Zhou Wu with a smile.
Zhou Wu said: "Commander Guan doesn't have to be so troublesome, we just send someone to pick it up, come into the brigade headquarters, let's take advantage of the division commander and political commissar to discuss the future combat deployment." ” Guan Cheng nodded in agreement, and Zhou Wu immediately ordered the fat man to take the comrades of the first detachment in Jiangnan to a place three miles away to meet the brothers, and asked the staff officer of the brigade headquarters to inform the officers above the battalion level of the independent brigade to come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting immediately.
As soon as Zhou Wu and the division commander arrived at the brigade headquarters, the communications staff officer of the brigade headquarters with the telegram ran over to report to Zhou Wu: "Brigade commander, Brigade Commander Chen of the First Brigade of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei has sent a telegram that a large number of national troops in the northern area of Hongze Lake have made abnormal movements, and the troops are frequently redeployed. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard this, his head was "buzzing" loudly, according to the epidemic of gobonic plague, a large number of ordinary people have been infected with the plague and their lives are in danger, the Japanese devils and Wang puppet army in the south have been forced over, and the Kuomintang diehards behind also want to fish in troubled waters to join in the fun, now the Jiangbei area is lively, the Japanese, Wang puppet army, and the Kuomintang diehard army attacked together, intending to destroy our New Fourth Army in Jiangbei.
Zhou Wu looked at the division commander, the division commander looked at Zhou Wu and said to him: "Comrade Zhou Wu, we haven't already said it, we won't interfere this time, don't worry, the water will cover the earth, the soldiers will block, no matter how many ways the enemy attacks, as long as you can seize the most important one, you can resolve the dilemma, I believe you have the ability to solve this crisis." ” Zhou Wu saw that the division commander trusted him so much, and immediately his confidence came up, and he immediately ordered the communication staff officer of the brigade headquarters: "Immediately contact the commander of the 2nd Regiment in the direction of Yangzhou and the commander of the regiment Zheng in the direction of Taizhou, and ask them to immediately report the specific location and environment they are in, and the detailed enemy situation."
Zhou Wu now has only the two regiments of Lao Ge and Xiao Zheng who can maneuver in his hands, and the other brigades of the Jiangbei anti-Japanese command are all arranged by Zhou Wu in the four directions of the base area, strictly guarding against the actions of the devils, Wang puppet army and the Kuomintang diehards in the north, those county brigades and other anti-Japanese forces are busy treating those villagers who are suffering from the plague together with the health company in the base area, and the fat man's regiment and Huang Shuisheng's special service group stay in the base area to guard the gate of the base area.
Only the first detachment of the Jiangnan New Fourth Army, which has just arrived now, is the real mobile force in Zhou Wu's hands.
Soon, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng called back, Ge Sanmin said that they encountered a wing of devils in Yangpu Village, 20 kilometers north of Yangzhou City, and now they are in a stalemate with the little devils, Ge Sanmin They can't fight and can't eat the devil team, and the devils don't seem to want to continue to attack in the direction of the Jiangbei base area, Ge Sanmin decided to hold on to the area of Yangpu Village in order to contain the devil's forces.
Xiao Zheng's reply said that their three regiments encountered a brigade of devils and a division or so of Wang's puppet army in the southwest of Taizhou City, and they were also in a stalemate, and the situation of the devils and the puppet army was similar to that of Lao Ge and them, Xiao Zheng asked Zhou Wu what to do Zhou Wu heard this information from the front line, thought about it for a while, raised his head and said to the division commander: "The chief of staff of our independent brigade, Zhiduoxing Ding Ning, has not arrived yet, and there is no news from their special force so far, so it is difficult for me to make up my mind now." ” The division commander saw that Zhou Wu couldn't make up his mind, so he stood up and said to him: "Zhou Wu, you are no longer the brigade commander of the independent brigade, in your hands, the fate of the forty or fifty thousand troops of our Jiangbei Anti-Japanese Command is in your hands, prudence is a necessary quality of an excellent commander, but if you are too cautious and careful to lose the opportunity, you will follow the battle plan you just said." t1706231537:
