Xiao Tianming faced the head of the devil captain, raised the big saber in his hand, used all his strength, and slashed downward, only to hear a "click", the head of the devil captain was immediately cut off by the sharp saber, and the head wearing a steel helmet rolled out with a grunt, and the body of the devil captain who was cut off at that time sprayed a fountain of dirty blood, and with a "poof" sound, it fell into the rice field like a log that had been chopped down, and after a few convulsions, it was completely immobile.
The rest of the little devils saw that their captain was cut off by the soldiers of the New Fourth Army, so they screamed one after another, and fled towards the south, but they could outrun Lao Xiao Tianming's war horse in the rice field, and in the long neighing of the war horse, one by one the remaining little devils were cut off by Lao Xiao's own soldiers, just like that, this broken devil brigade was all wiped out by Lao Xu's men here, and there was no one left.
The devil commander of the Taizhou brigade didn't know how much Yamada had suffered, and suggested that Yamada and his brigade go north again to attack Zhou Wu's Jiangbei New Fourth Army, Yamada was shocked, and said to the commander of the devil's brigade who didn't know what to do: "If you don't want to live, you will lead your brigade to the north, I won't accompany you, we will almost be wiped out by them in the area of Lijiawan, if it weren't for Hangzhou in the south, The two elite brigades of the imperial army in the direction of Shanghai arrived in time to relieve the siege, and our Yamada brigade no longer exists, you still have this heart, hurry back to Taizhou and return to the Nanjing headquarters. ” As soon as the brigade commander of the Taizhou Devil Brigade heard the words of the little devil Yamada, his heart immediately cooled a lot, the Yamada Brigade is also a team with good combat effectiveness among the East China Dispatch Army, but it was beaten so sadly by Zhou Wu's Jiangbei New Fourth Army, it seems that we should hurry up and carry out the order, and it is important to cover the retreat of the Yamada Brigade, and now the situation does not have to be before, we have to take it easy.
This life-and-death battle that took nearly a month to defend the Jiangbei base area finally ended, and the division commander who got the news sent a congratulatory message to Zhou Wu, but Zhou Wu couldn't be happy, not because he couldn't eliminate the Yamada Brigade that broke out, but in this battle, Zhou Wu and the Independent Brigade forever lost a resourceful and good chief of staff Comrade Ding Ning, Ding Ning's sacrifice was too big a blow to Zhou Wu, and Zhou Wu was immersed in deep grief at this time, He didn't even dare to imagine that there would be no Chief of Staff Ding Ning by his side to give advice in the future, why would God be so unfair, and let such a good person as Ding Ning leave him Zhou Wu first, thinking of this, Zhou Wu's heart burst out of incomparable hatred for the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, and felt that one day, he would personally avenge Ding Ning's revenge for that shot, and pay the blood debt with blood, in order to comfort Ding Ning's soul in the sky At the end of the battle, the various teams of the Jiangbei New Fourth Army returned to their stations, and the first brigade led by Comrade Chen Guofu insisted on attending Ding Ning's memorial service before leaving, and followed Zhou Wu's independent brigade all the way to the south, returning to Tianchangma Beach, along the way, the things in the base were destroyed by the little devils, and most of the houses were burned down by the little devils, leaving piles of black ashes, Zhou Wu saw this scene, gritted his teeth and said to Lao Chen: "Lao Chen, you see, the devil's virtue can't forget to burn, kill and loot anywhere, This time, they can't catch the people in our base area, so they use these grass huts and thatched huts to vent their anger, if this devil is not driven out of China for a day, the villagers in our base area will not be at peace for a day, I think after the troops have rested for a while, let's make a plan to attack the devil's city, and beat those little devils hard, what do you think?"
"Okay, I also have this idea, the little devils are nesting in the big city, don't give them a little color to see, they don't know that our New Fourth Army is powerful, plus, seeing that the battlefield situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the little devils, their days are almost over, take advantage of the current opportunity, rush into the city to them hard, I think it's okay" Lao Chen nodded in agreement with Zhou Wu's opinion, the devil's momentum is like the sun that is about to set, and the Americans have already attacked the door of their little Japan, It is estimated that it will not last long, taking advantage of the fact that the devils are not completely finished, and ruthlessly messing with them, so that the little devils can give up some strongholds, which is also beneficial to the growth of our base area, the Kuomintang army has always been unable to get along with our New Fourth Army, and we have to engage in friction during the Anti-Japanese War.
Came to the independent brigade's station Matan, where the little devils of Yamada who were attacked were in a mess, a mess, the original as the brigade headquarters of the few tiled houses were set on fire by the retreating devils, now only a pile of rubble piled on the ground, Zhou Wu They have no choice, all the houses that can be burned around were burned by the little devils, and the brothers of the independent brigade had to temporarily build thatched houses for the use of the temporary brigade headquarters.
Comrade Ding Ning's memorial service is scheduled to be held on the third day, Division Commander Li and political commissar said that they would personally rush over to attend the memorial service, the brothers of the independent brigade have been busy arranging Ding Ning's memorial service for the past two days, Shen Lina has been crying unadultly in the past two days, lying on the hospital bed of the health company for treatment, Zhou Wu was afraid that Shen Lina would not be able to think about it for a while, and did a stupid thing to kill herself, so he hurriedly sent several guards next to him to look at Shen Lina, Ding Ning's daughter was only seven years old, and Ding Dang also cried into tears, listening to the immature and sad cry, Zhou Wu really couldn't stand it, this scene made him suddenly remind him of the sadness that had been hidden in his heart for many years, his wife Xiuying and smart and lovely son Xiao Wuzi, as well as his pair of gray-haired parents, didn't they also die tragically in this war This damn war is still going on, I don't know how many innocent people suffer every day, repeating the tragedy of the separation of wives and families over and over again.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wu felt very uncomfortable, and when Political Commissar Niu saw that Zhou Wu's face was not good-looking, he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Comrade Zhou Wu, I understand your current mood very well, Comrade Ding Ning is a good comrade, although he sacrificed and left us, his spirit is still there, and our brothers who were born and died with him will always remember him."
After the study and decision of the Party Committee of our Independent Brigade and the approval of the Political Department of the New Fourth Army, Comrade Ding Ning is hereby posthumously recognized as a member of the Communist Party of China and posthumously recognized as a revolutionary martyr. ” Zhou Wu didn't want to say anything at the moment, he just felt that there was something blocked in his heart, he patted Lao Niu on the shoulder, nodded, and said that he knew the decision of the organization, the Communist Party of China was the goal that Ding Ning had been striving for during his lifetime, and he did not achieve it during his lifetime, but he recognized it posthumously after his death, which can be regarded as an affirmation of Ding Ning's work in the New Fourth Army for so many years, and the revolutionary martyr is the title and honor that Comrade Ding Ning deserves, and he deserves it Early in the morning of the third day, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade almost went out to attend the memorial service of their chief of staff Comrade Ding Ning, everyone rushed here to see off the chief of staff for the last time, Shen Lina and Xiao Dingdang, who wanted to cry without tears, were supported by several girls in the health company to Ding Ning's body to say their final goodbye, Shen Lina's eyes were dull, her face was pale, and she kept touching Ding Ning's face with her hand, and said to herself: "Ding Ning, our mother and son are here to see you off for the last time, you are only one person over there, You have to take care of yourself, don't be tired, our mother and son have so many brothers and sisters in the independent brigade to take care of, you can go with confidence, and when the little devil is driven away, we will come to your grave to tell you. ” Listening to Shen Lina's self-talk, the tough guys in the Independent Brigade who usually kill devils without blinking their eyes couldn't help but have hot eyes, especially the fat man and Ge Sanmin, who are usually like brothers with Ding Ning, seeing this scene at this time, they couldn't help but tears burst out of their eyes.
The fat man and Ge Sanmin said to Zhou Wu almost in unison: "Brigade seat, we can't let go of those murderers who killed Ding Ning, rush to Suxian with the brothers of the Independent Brigade, and annihilate the Kuomintang recalcitrant army besieging our New Fourth Army, and take off their heads as officials to pay tribute to the spirit of the chief of staff in heaven."
The fat man and Ge Sanmin were so emotional that they had to ask Zhou Wu to agree to send a team to Suxian, where the Kuomintang Sixth War Zone was located, to settle accounts with the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops who besieged Ding Ning Although Zhou Wu's mood at the moment is also extremely sad and indignant, his mind is still quite sober, at the present time when the Japanese devils are still in the land of China, not to mention that he Zhou Wu, a small brigade commander of the New Fourth Army, even the commander of the New Fourth Army, Chen Corps, cannot openly attack the army of the Kuomintang Sixth Theater with the regular army of the New Fourth Army, if this is a fight, it will be a blatant sabotage of the anti-Japanese united front, and it will not only suffer a big loss militarily, but also a big loss politically.
When the division commander and political commissar saw the scene of the memorial service, many cadres and soldiers of the Independent Brigade were very emotional, so they stood up and said to everyone: "Comrades, Comrade Ding Ning's sacrifice is a major loss for our entire Jiangbei New Fourth Army, of course we will never let go of those murderers who killed Comrade Ding Ning, and we must settle this account with them, but not now, because now those Japanese devils who invaded our China are still there, and the foreign enemy has not been driven out.
The Kuomintang troops are still our nominal allies, and if we fight with those Kuomintang recalcitrant troops in the Sixth Theater at this moment, it will still be the Japanese who will benefit.
The military headquarters of the New Fourth Army will adopt a reasonable and restrained approach to negotiate with the Sixth Theater and will also mobilize public opinion to put pressure on the top level of the Kuomintang and expose their true ugly features of pretending to resist Japan. ” t1706231537:
