Zhou Wu is now worried about the direction of Dacheng Town in the north, this place is already very sensitive, the Kuomintang diehards have long been eyeing the base area here, several times there have been frictions here, but they have been repelled one by one by the Jiangbei New Fourth Army, and later these Kuomintang diehards saw that the use of hard military means could not be used, so they strictly blocked the passage from the base area to the outside world, strictly forbidding all firewood, rice, oil, salt and other materials to enter the base area, trying to trap the soldiers and civilians of the New Fourth Army in the Jiangbei base area to death and starve to death.
After that, he joined forces with the Japanese in the south to divide the territory of the anti-Japanese base area in Jiangbei.
After Zhou Wu sent a telegram to Chen Guofu in the east, he immediately decided to rush to Dacheng Town in the north with his brigade headquarters to join Ding Ning and jointly resist the siege of the Jiangbei base area by the Kuomintang diehard troops from the north.
It is said that Ding Ning took a regiment of Lao Chen and the brothers of the Tianchang County Brigade to Dacheng Town in the north in a hurry, stopped at a place five or six miles away from Dacheng Town, and sent out more than ten scout brothers to the front to reconnoiter and liaise, contact the local underground party comrades, find out the actual situation of Dacheng Town now, and then plan to go this way.
Ding Ning and they stopped to rest in this place, before an hour, a few brothers who went to reconnoiter led a few local villagers to hurry towards Ding Ning's side, and when they saw Ding Ning, a middle-aged man with a forty-year-old appearance stretched out his hand and said to Ding Ning: "Hello, Comrade Chief of Staff, I am Comrade Han, the old man of the underground party here, I heard that your independent brigade is here, I brought a few comrades over, you say, if you want to know any information, everything we have, we can provide it." ” Ding Ning had heard that there was an underground party comrade named Lao Han in this Su County when he was at the brigade headquarters before, and when he heard that the middle-aged man in front of him called himself Lao Han, he understood in his heart and said to him: "Could it be that you are Lao Han, the leading comrade of the underground party in Su County, I heard Lao Liu talk about you, you are lurking in Su County, why are you all here in Dacheng Town now" Ding Ning didn't understand these underground party comrades lurking in Su County, the Sixth Theater Command of the Kuomintang, Now how can they all come to Dacheng Town, but after the last drug robbery operation, the Kuomintang diehards launched a bloody revenge and destroyed the underground party organization in Su County Sure enough, Comrade Lao Han's face was very gloomy, and he was silent for a while and said to Ding Ning: "Don't hide it from the Chief of Staff, since that time when Commander Liu and the comrades of the special team made a big fuss at the Suxian railway station and successfully grabbed those special drugs for the treatment of the base plague, the Sixth Theater Command of the Kuomintang began a large-scale search and arrest of our underground party comrades.
Fortunately, most of our underground party comrades in Suxian County are in one-line contact, except for a few comrades who were arrested by the traitor, most of the comrades escaped from Suxian overnight and came here, originally we would have been discussing the risk of entering the Jiangbei base area to find an organization, but now we see that there are comrades who have come to contact us, this is even better, Comrade Chief of Staff, we have a request, and now we have lost all contact with the organization.
Can we let these underground party comrades temporarily join your independent brigade to act with you, and when this battle is over and the organization is contacted, we will go again?"
Lao Han means that now they can't find their superiors, so they can't get the action orders issued by their superiors in time, and their underground party work in the Suxian area will come to a standstill, and now Ding Ning has come here with the team of the Independent Brigade to temporarily join the ranks of the New Fourth Army, which is also a revolution, and he can find the Jiangbei Command or the superiors of the New Fourth Army Military Headquarters above through the Independent Brigade, which is not a good thing to have the best of both worlds Ding Ning was silent, not that he didn't want these comrades who were working at risk in the heart of the enemy to join the independent brigade, but that he had been slandered by the traitor Xia Hanxi before, so that Zhou Wu and Ding Ning were almost caught and shot by the people of the Political Department of the Military Department, although three years have passed since this incident, but for Ding Ning, this unforgettable feeling of waiting for death in a prison cell is probably something he will never forget in this life, so when he heard Comrade Lao Han ask to temporarily join the independent travel movement, Ding Ning hesitated a little, but soon he said to Comrade Lao Han: "Old Han, you allow me to report the situation to our brigade commander, don't worry, you can tell us everything you know about the Kuomintang diehards first." ” Lao Han was very reasonable, nodded and said to Ding Ning: "Chief of Staff, you are right, this kind of thing must be reported to the superiors, especially those of us who are engaged in underground work within the enemy, we must pay more attention, okay, I will first tell you about the direction of Dacheng Town and the situation of the Kuomintang Sixth War Zone in Suxian County." ” "A few months ago, a Kuomintang general was suddenly transferred to the Sixth War Zone, according to the intelligence of our comrades in the inner line, this new Kuomintang general's surname is Zhang, the commander of the 79th Army of the Kuomintang, this time he came to Suxian as the deputy commander of the theater, hey, isn't the predecessor of your independent brigade also this 79th Army, isn't this General Zhang your old boss" Lao Han said to Ding Ning.
Ding Ning heard this, and his body shook suddenly, that's right, this General Zhang must be the old commander of the 79th Army of his old superior, why did he also come here, wasn't he put under house arrest by Lao Jiang and started to be a duke in Chongqing, why did he come out of the mountain again at this time, and he was sent to the Sixth War Zone here, face to face with our Jiangbei New Fourth Army, and the gong to the gong started a head-on confrontation, which one is this Ding Ning couldn't figure out why the old army commander chose to go out of the mountain here at this time, at the time of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese WarHow come six or seven years later, the old army commander still has to come out to command the army, and he still got the opposite of our New Fourth Army, this is really impermanence, it's hard to say.
"Yes, our Jiangbei New Fourth Army Independent Brigade used to be an independent brigade under the 79th Army on the Songhu battlefield in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and the General Zhang you mentioned is indeed our old army commander, old superior, but now we are the New Fourth Army Independent Brigade, this independent brigade has almost nothing to do with the previous independent brigade, Comrade Lao Han asked me this, I don't know what it means" Ding Ning asked Lao Han Dao.
"Haha, Comrade Chief of Staff, you are too worried, I just asked casually, this time the Kuomintang diehards sent troops to besiege our Jiangbei base area, and the 79th Army served as the main attack in the middle of the road, and all three divisions pressed over, and the main attack direction was in Dacheng Town, they launched an attack two days later, these information came from our comrades in the inner line who were lurking in the Sixth Theater Headquarters in Su County, and it should be relatively reliable information."
Comrade Lao Han hurriedly told Ding Ning about the movements of the Kuomintang diehards.
Ding Ning heard this, and was suddenly shocked in his heart: "This time the Sixth War Zone sent out our old army commander to encircle and suppress us, is it intentional by those high-level people, there are so many troops in the Sixth War Zone, why did they let the 79th Army take the lead, there must be a mystery in this, maybe the old army commander is still in the dark at this time, I don't know that his opponent at the moment is his former student and subordinate Zhou Wu, it seems that God is really playing tricks on people, a pair of teachers and students with deep friendship are going to meet on the battlefield where the little devil has not been driven out, think of this." , Ding Ning had mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't say what he tasted, he just felt that this situation was too ridiculous, so if he really fought, he could only show jokes to the little devils and the puppet army, it was really a big stupid thing for the relatives to be bitter and the enemies to be happy. ” Ding Ning hurriedly placed Lao Han and his underground party comrades who ran out of Su County in the team, each of them was given weapons, and let them follow the brothers below to participate in the battle, and he hurriedly ordered the communication soldiers to send a telegram to Zhou Wu by radio, asking him to hurry to the direction of Dacheng Town and discuss the important situation.
After Zhou Wu received Ding Ning's telegram, he was even more anxious, and took those brothers from the brigade headquarters to the starry night, and finally rushed to Dacheng Town on the evening of the next day, and met with Ding Ning's people, Zhou Wu was not worried about what the critical situation mentioned in Ding Ning's telegram was, and as soon as he met Ding Ning, Zhou Wu hurriedly asked him: "Ding Ning, what are you in such a hurry to let me come over?"
Ding Ning didn't answer Zhou Wu's question directly, but just ordered his brothers to recruit Lao Han and them, Lao Han immediately came, Zhou Wu saw it, and hurriedly reached out to hold Comrade Lao Han's hand and said to him: "Comrade Lao Han, I heard Lao Liu of our Independent Brigade Regiment talk about you, that time I went to Su County to grab medicine all thanks to the help of your underground party comrades, thank you, it is with the life-saving medicine snatched from Su County, our Jiangbei base area can be saved from the plague and plague, and save a large number of innocent people, your credit is not small."
Although you do not work directly with the enemy face to face like us, your work is very important, and you are also revolutionary fighters like us. ” Zhou Wu's words moved this old Han comrade to be speechless for a while, so he had to just hold Zhou Wu's hands and shake them back and forth, and finally Lao Han held back a sentence: "Thank you Brigade Commander Ma for your encouragement, we comrades who are doing underground work have long known the prestige of your New Fourth Army Independent Brigade in the Jiangbei area.
Although we do not want to see the end of this Chinese fighting the Chinese, since they are coming, we should resolutely fight back, otherwise how can our New Fourth Army gain a foothold and develop here. ” t1706231537:
