Zhou Wu heard Ding Ning's words, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, for so many years, he and Ding Ning can be said to be in the same boat, the same as brothers in arms, this time Ding Ning's words seem to be a little sad to part, in Zhou Wu's ears, in addition to being full of emotion, there is also a trace of sadness This time I went there to see our old army commander, it is really a fierce and unpredictable danger waiting for us in front Ding Ning saw the trace of sadness between Zhou Wu's eyebrows, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I have another plan to ensure that you go to this trip safe and sound, I plan to send a dozen or so skilled brothers from the troops below to follow you, these brothers are veterans, I haven't seen any scenes, and I should be able to ensure the safety of your trip." ” It turned out that Chief of Staff of Zhiduoxing Ding Ning still had this consideration, Zhou Wu and Lao Han both invariably threw admiration and gratitude at Ding Ning, Zhou Wu held Ding Ning's hand and said to him: "Ding Ning, thank you, you are really my right-hand man, I hope you will pay attention to your own safety this time, although you are in the army, but after all, you have to face so many Kuomintang diehard troops, pay attention to be careful." ” There was nothing to say all night, and before dawn in the early morning of the next day, Comrade Zhou Wu and Lao Han set off with a dozen or so brothers carefully selected by Ding Ning, this time they disguised themselves as merchants, Zhou Wu and Lao Han disguised themselves as big bosses, and a dozen or so brothers followed them with the burden of goods in the direction of Dacheng Town.
According to the information that Comrade Lao Han has, the 79th Army has now marched to the vicinity of Liu Village, which is 30 kilometers north of Dacheng Town, and this is the information that came from yesterday, and now they have arrived at a certain place, Lao Han They still do not know, according to the news that the men and horses of the 79th Army have been stationed in Dacheng Town in front of them, and Comrade Lao Han suggested that they first go to that Dacheng Town to investigate the situation, and find those underground party comrades in the town to understand the situation.
Zhou Wu agreed to Comrade Lao Han's request, so the group came to Dacheng Town, sure enough, Dacheng Town was heavily guarded outside, and a company of the security regiment originally stationed here and all of them were dispatched, and many checkpoints were set up on various traffic arteries around the position, and all the pedestrians were carefully searched, and these search passers-by were all from the security regiment, and for the time being, it was not found that there were soldiers of the 79th Army on duty here.
Zhou Wu and Lao Han and their group of more than a dozen merchants successfully passed the inspection of the Kuomintang security group at the intersection, and the brothers brought this time were all good men carefully selected by Ding Ning from the troops below, and the guys they carried with them had long been hidden in secret places, and the soldiers of these security groups could not find out.
In this way, a group of people and horses smoothly entered Dacheng Town, the town is really different from before, there are Kuomintang troops patrolling back and forth everywhere, the security regiment has all been sent outside to check pedestrians, these Kuomintang soldiers patrolling the street are wearing the uniforms of the regular army, Zhou Wu and Lao Han know at a glance, these troops are the old commander's 79th Army, I haven't seen it for six or 7 years, the uniforms of the 79th Army have changed, and most of the soldiers have changed several times, But Zhou Wu saw the looks on the faces of these patrolling soldiers, and felt that it was very kind, and felt that the team trained by the old army commander was different, this 79th Army was still the same, almost no different from the time when he was in Shanghai Luodian, thinking that he might have to compete face-to-face with his predecessor team on the battlefield, Zhou Wu felt a burst of soreness in his heart, and felt that this thing was too cruel, it was simply torturous, so this time he must find the old army commander and persuade the old army commander not to have a frontal conflict with the Jiangbei New Fourth Army, so as not to lose both sides and be laughed at by the Japanese devils and the Kuomintang diehards.
Comrade Lao Han took Zhou Wu to a place around the corner, this is a remote independent courtyard on the periphery of the town, Lao Han knocked on the doorknob of the gate with his hand rhythmically, and immediately the door opened a crack from the inside, and an alert voice came from inside: "Who?"
Lao Han immediately replied: "Your eldest cousin asked me to bring some fashionable goods from the south, let you come and see, and there is someone from your mother's family, I heard that you are sick, don't worry about coming down to take a look." ” There was silence inside the door for a while, and it immediately opened with a "squeak", revealing the head of a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked at Zhou Wu and them behind Comrade Lao Han vigilantly, and nodded.
The group quickly flashed into the door, and then the door immediately "clanged" shut, and everything outside was as before, as if nothing had happened.
Entering the door, Zhou Wu found that this is an independent small courtyard, several blue brick houses are scattered in the courtyard, and there is a small flower bed in the middle, planted with some brightly colored flowers, it is very good-looking, Zhou Wu looked at this elegant scene, and couldn't help but have a little feeling: "If you drive away the little devil in the future and live in this kind of small courtyard, it will also be a kind of happiness." ” At this time, a capable man of more than 30 years walked out of the hall inside, his eyes were bright, his steps were strong and powerful, and he hurriedly walked over and held Comrade Han's hand and said: "Comrade Han, you are here, but you want to kill us, this is the famous Comrade Zhou Wu, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army. ” Zhou Wu hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, we had something important to pass by here this time, Lao Han hurriedly introduced to Zhou Wu: "Brigade commander, this is our old Comrade Zheng in Su County, he is also an old revolutionary, don't look at his age, but his qualifications will not be younger than me, and he is also the head of the underground party in our Jiangbei region, about the situation of Dacheng Town and the 79th Army, Comrade Lao Zheng is more familiar than me, come, Lao Zheng, you quickly tell Brigade Commander Zhou about the situation of the 79th Army." ” Zhou Wu stretched out his hand to Lao Zheng and said: "Thank you for the hard work of the underground party comrades, without your intelligence, we will become blind, we will go to the 79th Army this time to do business, you will tell me all the information you know about the 79th Army in Jiangbei." ” The old Comrade Zheng said: "This time the 79th Army has all been dispatched, and now this team in Dacheng Town is their advance team, with only one battalion of troops, this Kuomintang army is different from other teams in the Sixth War Zone, the military discipline is strict, the autumn has not committed any crimes, and it is also polite to the local people, it seems that this enemy is also a strange thing in the Kuomintang army, and we are not easy to deal with." ” When Lao Zheng said this, Lao Han interjected with a smile and said: "Lao Zheng, don't you know, our Brigade Commander Zhou was in this 79th Army before, and the "Devil Buster" Independent Brigade of the little devil who landed on the Shanghai battlefield in the early days knows that it is the team led by Brigade Commander Zhou Wu, but now the independent brigade of Brigade Commander Zhou Wu is our New Fourth Army, haha, do you think it is some coincidence." ” As soon as Lao Zheng heard that Zhou Wu originally had this origin, he immediately stood up and gave a standard military salute to Zhou Wu: "It turns out that Brigade Commander Zhou Wu still has this origin, I really don't know, these can be easily done, and I finally know the purpose of your trip to the north to find the 79th Army's team this time, okay, this is the best, if you can persuade the 79th Army not to fight with us, then the anti-encirclement and suppression situation in our base area this time can be clear." ” "Yes, so we are looking for you this time, just to learn more about the situation of the 79th Army, six or seven years have passed, the situation of the 79th Army must have changed a lot, know yourself and know the enemy, you can not be defeated in a hundred battles, do you say yes, Comrade Zheng" Zhou Wu took over the conversation.
"Okay, according to the news we just got today, the military headquarters of the 79th Army has moved to the area of Wangcun in the north of Dacheng Town, which is still more than 10 kilometers away from here, but according to the comrades who came to the news, the 79th Army has been stationed in Wangcun, and it is estimated that Wangcun may be set up as the location of the headquarters, and Dacheng Town is currently in the hands of the Kuomintang army, so it is very possible for them to set up the front-line headquarters in Wangcun, which is more than 10 kilometers behind, and it is estimated that they will go out of Dacheng Town tomorrow and launch an attack on the Jiangbei base area outside.
Brigade Commander Zhou, you don't have much time left, and at this time, it is estimated that the subordinate troops of the 79th Army have already moved to the attack position next to Dacheng Town, and you have to hurry up if you want to go to Wang Village.
Lao Zheng said.
Zhou Wuyi heard Lao Zheng's information, and hurriedly stood up and said to Lao Han and them: "Old Han, since the military headquarters of the 79th Army is in the area of Wangcun, then we should hurry up and rush there, from here to the area of Wangcun It is estimated that all of them are under the military control of the 79th Army, we still have to find a way to get in, otherwise we will fight with the brothers of the 79th Army here, and it will be difficult to do it." ” "Yes, Brigade Commander Zhou, what you said is right, we should change our identities, if we go to Wang Village as a merchant, we will definitely be exposed, and it is a trivial matter to exchange fire with the brothers of the 79th Army at that time, in case we can't see the old army commander, it will be troublesome, so let's go out of the city immediately, get a few sets of military uniforms of the security regiment at the city gate, and disguise it as the illusion that the security regiment will go to the military headquarters of the 79th Army, so that it is more reliable in the past, and it is easier to see the old army commander, and it is not easy to arouse the vigilance of the surrounding Kuomintang diehard troops, I think that's the best.
Lao Han hurriedly suggested that it was safer and more reliable to disguise himself as the Kuomintang Security Regiment to go to the military headquarters of the 79th Army, and the soldiers of the Security Regiment were weaker in combat effectiveness, of course, they were not the opponents of these brothers under Zhou Wu, and it was easier to deal with them.
Zhou Wu nodded in agreement with Lao Han's proposal, so Lao Zheng also took a few underground party comrades and Zhou Wu and their party to the intersection north of Dacheng Town, looking from a distance, a team of Kuomintang security regiment soldiers wearing yellow uniforms were arrogantly blocking pedestrians to check, they saw a group of merchants carrying goods burdens over here, thinking that this time they could seize the opportunity to make a fortune, and hurriedly hurled towards Zhou Wu and their side, shouting: "Stop for me and accept inspection" t1706231537:
