As soon as Zhou Wuyi heard the words of the division commander, his heart was ruthless, his teeth were gritted, and he ordered the communication staff officer: "Quickly send a report to the commander of the second regiment Ge and the commander of the third regiment Xiao Zheng, ordering them to immediately get rid of the entanglement of the enemy on the opposite side, quickly retreat to the south bank of Gaoyou Lake and stand by, and ask them to pay attention to the reaction of the little devils and the puppet army when they retreat, and not show the enemy on the opposite side that we are retreating."
Zhou Wu made up his mind to transfer back the forces of Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng, and now around the base area, except for the first detachment that had just come from Jiangnan, the rest of the troops were firmly trapped in the base area, and the epidemic of the plague made it impossible for the independent brigade to draw out troops to go to Yangzhou again, and the Taizhou front line mobile sneak attack on the devil troops, so now before the little devils launched a large-scale attack on the base area, quickly withdrew Ge Sanmin, who was monitoring the enemy on the front line of Yangzhou and Taizhou, Xiao Zheng's two regiments, Strengthening the defense on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake can at least buy some time for the base area to prepare to smash the enemy's encirclement and suppression, and those Kuomintang diehards in the back are about to move again, and it seems that the difficulties and dangers this time are more serious than the last anti-encirclement and suppression, and it can even be said that the current situation in the Jiangbei anti-Japanese base area is at a critical time of life and death, and the slightest mistake and carelessness in command may lead to a total defeat and be strangled by the devils, Wang's puppet army, and the Kuomintang diehards behind it.
The division commander threw a look of trust and encouragement at Zhou Wu, in the eyes of the division commander, this Zhou Wu is a general worth shaping, no matter in terms of tactical arrangement or tactical arrangement, he is stronger than those old revolutionary old Red Army in the Jiangbei New Fourth Army, after all, people are high-achieving students who have studied regular military schools, and the cultural level is relatively high, fighting positional warfare, trench warfare is Zhou Wu's strength, as long as there are enough personnel and ammunition, Zhou Wu can give you to hold the position or conquer the enemy's position in a short time, After several years of training after participating in the New Fourth Army, Zhou Wu's guerrilla warfare tactics and skills have also been mastered quite skillfully, how to say, as long as Zhou Wu can survive in this anti-drug and anti-encirclement struggle, then he has basically crossed this big hurdle of being in charge alone, and the division commander feels that there is no need to give him guidance in the future, to put it bluntly, that is, as long as Zhou Wu can survive this hurdle, he can be out of the division, and he can really be in charge of himself, and the division commander of course knows that the life of the little Japanese devil will not be too long.
This war of resistance against Japan, which has been fought for six or seven years, is estimated to be over in a year or two, and now those Kuomintang troops have begun to shrink their strength, give up the battle plan of confronting the Japanese devils head-on, and are recuperating their strength, preparing to fight a civil war after driving the Japanese devils out of China, although the division commander is really unwilling to look Chinese at his own people to fight again, and then the loss is their own Chinese national defense strength, so that those foreign devils see jokes, but look at the current situation, this civil war will be fought sooner or later, This is something that the military generals below, including the division commander, cannot change and reverse, they can only prepare in advance for this civil war that will come sooner or later, the New Fourth Army is poor, there is no foreign aid available, the only international aid is still the brothers of the independent brigade with their heads, sacrificing the price of many brothers to win, in the future, there may not even be this kind of opportunity, if you want to prepare, the division commander should consider focusing on excavating and cultivating excellent commanders like Zhou Wu to be practical and reliable, Fighting a war depends on the commander's level of command, planning, and deployment, as well as the coordination and unity of the officers and men below, and other weapons and equipment are not decisive factors, but are all difficulties that can be overcome.
At this time, Ding Ning took the brothers of the Einsatzgruppen to meet the brothers who stayed in Jiangbei on the side of the Yangtze River and watched the boats, and quickly moved the life-saving drugs on those trucks to the captured devil small gunboat, and hurriedly crossed the river, and the devil infantry who chased after them chased to the riverside, Ding Ning and they had already crossed the middle of the Yangtze River, watching Ding Ning and them quickly disappear on the Yangtze River in the small gunboat they robbed, and the devil officer who chased them was annoyed and angry, and vented his anger on the people of a village by the river, Ordered his devil soldiers to arrest all the people in the village, and slaughtered the village again with machine guns and bayonets, and more than 300 innocent people were slaughtered by the little devils, leaving only three villagers who pretended to be dead and hid under the dead corpses escaped, and were rescued by our underground party comrades who rushed to hear the news, and secretly crossed the river and sent to the anti-Japanese base in the north of the Tianjiang River.
The atrocities of the devils on the banks of the Yangtze River once again aroused the anger and fighting spirit of the Chinese people in the occupied areas, and many young and middle-aged people ventured across the river to the north to rush to the Jiangbei base area to participate in the New Fourth Army's resistance against Japan.
Avenge the shame of their fathers and villagers who died tragically under the butcher's knife of the devil Ding Ning took the life-saving medicine he snatched day and night, and fought a few battles with the devils and puppet soldiers who came to intercept him on the way back to the base area, and finally arrived at Tianchangma Beach in the early morning of the fifth day, Zhou Wu saw that Ding Ning and they returned safely, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally let go, and immediately asked Shen Lina of the health company to come here to receive streptomycin to save people, and he ordered the staff officer of the brigade headquarters who went to inform: "Ride a fast horse and rush over, let Company Commander Shen and them use this batch of medicines immediately, The life and death of our base depends on the rescue operation of their health company. ” Shen Lina, who was busy in the epidemic area, heard that her husband Ding Ning had returned safely with streptomycin, and immediately put down the work at hand, rode a fast horse and followed the staff officer of the brigade headquarters all the way to feel the brigade headquarters, and saw Ding Ning standing at the entrance of the village waiting for her with a smile, Shen Lina hurriedly jumped off the horse, galloped a few steps, rushed forward, hugged Ding Ning tightly, and the couple finally met again at the entrance of the brigade department. whispered: "Quick, let's avoid it and let the little couple talk." ” Unexpectedly, Ding Ning seemed to hear the whispered words of the division commander, hurriedly pushed Shen Lina away, and said to the division commander: "Chief, we husband and wife have time to talk about our hearts, and now the epidemic situation in the base area cannot be delayed for a moment, we still step up our work and control this epidemic first, so that even if the devil attacks, we have the bottom in our hearts." ” The division commander nodded, in his opinion, the reason why Zhou Wu's independent brigade can be unique among so many teams of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army is that this chief of staff Comrade Ding Ning plays a great role, Ding Ning is not only cautious and well-deployed, but also a tactical expert, this time he personally took more than 100 brothers from the special brigade to Nanjing, the nest of devils, to grab medicine, you can see that Ding Ning is indeed a manufacturable material, this time we will first listen to the opinions of this chief of staff Ding Ning, and perhaps we can formulate a better and more perfect battle plan against encirclement and suppression.
Shen Lina saw that the division commander, political commissar and other big leaders were here, and hurriedly received the streptomycin that Ding Ning had worked so hard to grab, said goodbye to Ding Ning's people, and continued to rush to the epidemic area to treat the patient, in the past two days, the plague has broken out in a large area in the base area, not only a large number of old and infirm people have the first symptoms of plague, even those young adults with better physique have a few gastrointestinal inflammatory reactions of vomiting and diarrhea, which is the first symptom of plague, fortunately Ding Ning grabbed the special drug streptomycin at this time.
Otherwise, the epidemic situation in the entire base area will be very bad.
As soon as there were enough special medicines, the health company for the prevention and control of plague and the medical staff in the base area were confident enough, and those who had mild initial plague symptoms were quickly cured under the emergency treatment of high-dose streptomycin.
About half of the patients have been largely cured.
Zhou Wu and the division commander heard the good news, and they all expressed their gratitude to Ding Ning and the fat man for their action of bravely breaking into the enemy's lair to grab life-saving medicines, if it weren't for the actions of their Einsatzgruppen brothers, what would the epidemic area without special medicine look like now, the division commander and Zhou Wu couldn't imagine it, the division commander held Ding Ning and the fat man's hands with relief and said to them: "Thank you, it is the hard work of you and the health company and those medical soldiers that we have been able to block the attack of this plague on our base area, What the Japanese devils imposed on us at the time of this disaster, we must let those poisoned devils know that we will make them repay all the violations against the military and civilians in our base areas at several times the price."
The division commander's words were really relieved, and when he heard Ding Ning and the fat man, their blood was boiling, their blood was open, the fat man was anxious, and his big mouth was split, so he said to the division commander: "Don't worry, division commander, this time we have to find out those little devils who have released poisonous gas, if they are caught by my brothers, they will still be worse off than dead."
Zhou Wu heard that this fat man was arrogant again regardless of the occasion, and hurriedly said to the fat man: "Fat man, the division commander and political commissar are here, don't talk nonsense." ” The division commander and political commissar laughed: "Comrade Zhou Wu, what Regiment Commander Liu said is right, those Japanese devils who use poison gas, we can't tell them anything humanitarian, and they are not eligible to enjoy our New Fourth Army's preferential prisoner policy, you can order it down, once you encounter those devil troops who use poison gas in future battles, no matter what the circumstances, our Jiangbei New Fourth Army will not accept their surrender." t1706231537:
