Zhou Wu took the team and the fat man and they set off at the same time, Xiao Wu was sent by the old army commander, and brought more than 50 capable brothers to follow Zhou Wu's small detachment, and the rest of the 79th Army's action team was following Zhou Wu and their left and right flanks, and the fat man and Ge Sanmin They also set off, so the dozen or so action teams quickly disappeared into the vast night, and quickly headed towards Yancheng Port in the northwest direction.
Halfway through, Zhou Wu asked Xiao Wu: "The little devil has surrendered, our War of Resistance has been won, I don't know what the old army commander plans to do in the future" Zhou Wu has always remembered the old army commander.
Last time, he persuaded the old army commander to defect to the New Fourth Army, but the old army commander resigned on the grounds that the conditions were not mature, this time the devil surrendered, the old army commander must have a specific idea, Zhou Wu is now taking advantage of Xiao Wu's presence, so he asked him, I want to get some of the latest situation of the old army commander from him, and feel the situation.
Xiao Wu is a confidant of the old army commander's side, so he naturally knows the old army commander's movements, and when he heard Zhou Wu ask him, he said to him: "Brigade Commander Zhou, our old army commander and you are a teacher-student friendship, you should know his current situation, the old army commander entrusted me to send you a message, I want you to be calm and not impatient, once the time is ripe, it will naturally be ripe." ” Zhou Wu heard Xiao Wu's words, his heart was a little relieved, it seems that the old army commander has decided to change, but the current environment is still not allowed, under the current situation, the people in the country have asked not to rekindle the war, the huge China since Mr.
Sun established the Republic of China, has been fighting for more than 30 years, especially this war of resistance against the little devils, the Chinese military and the people have paid a heavy price, domestic public opinion believes that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party should abandon the previous suspicions, sit down and talk, to be honest, The common people are really miserable and need a peaceful environment to recuperate, otherwise it will be even more difficult for China, which is already poor, to clean up.
Although it is impossible for an officer of the New Fourth Army like Zhou Wu to influence the domestic political situation, with his experience in the Kuomintang army for many years, he feels that it is impossible to achieve peace in this situation, Lao Chiang was able to attack the New Fourth Army military headquarters in southern Anhui in 1941, the most difficult year of the War of Resistance against Japan, and during the entire Anti-Japanese War, a large number of elites were dispatched to besiege the anti-Japanese base areas in China, including Yan'an, where the Party Central Committee is located.
Sitting down with the Communist Party calmly to talk about Zhou Wu felt that this matter was almost impossible, even if Lao Chiang took the initiative to negotiate peace with the Communist Party, it was only his delaying tactic, because the preparations for starting the civil war were not done well, and the military aid promised to him by the Americans had not yet arrived.
During the Anti-Japanese War, not only had to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the murderous little devils and Wang puppet army, but also always guarded against the attacks and blockades of the Kuomintang recalcitrant troops around them, as well as those bandits and robbers who robbed houses, but in this way, Zhou Wu They can stand in Jiangbei and be able to develop and grow, it is indeed quite not easy, it all depends on the unanimous support of the local people for the New Fourth Army, maybe he and his old subordinates of the Independent Brigade would have died at the hands of the Japanese devils and recalcitrant soldiers.
If this situation continues, Lao Chiang will never allow the existence of the Communist New Fourth Army around Nanjing and Shanghai, and in this way, the war with the New Fourth Army will break out, and the Kuomintang will see that the New Fourth Army is not pleasing to the eye, and will be very happy to uproot it, while the New Fourth Army must stick to the struggle in order to survive, and the fruits of the hard-won development and growth cannot be handed over to the Kuomintang overnight.
I don't know where the independent brigade I am carrying will go, whether I will take off the gray cloth military uniform I have worn for many years, if there is peace in the future, and the negotiations between the KMT and the Communist Party are good, and there will be no war, then it will naturally be the best, and I can go back to my hometown in Nanjing to live that peaceful life, but after all, this is just a beautiful expectation, and from Zhou Wu's judgment, it is almost impossible to realize this beautiful expectation.
Zhou Wu took the small detachment to catch the devil war criminals all the way to the west, and soon arrived at the outskirts of Yancheng, because of the surrender of the devils, those puppet soldiers who stayed behind lost their control, and became stragglers with weapons, and then directly became bandits and robbers who robbed houses, along the way, Zhou Wu saw that many villages in the national control area were looted by these bandits and robbers, and the people who lost their homes cried and cursed on the edge of the burning fire, and learned from the mouths of those fellow villagers, As soon as the devils surrendered, they became the kings of the mountain, taking advantage of the vacuum period when the Chinese government's army had not yet come, they wantonly plundered the surrounding villages, making the local people unable to live in peace, and scolding these miscellaneous animals as beasts, worse than little devils.
Zhou Wu looked at these situations, was furious, and hurriedly instructed the fat man, Ge Sanmin, and Huang Shuisheng on the radio: "All teams that are found to have robbed the people's property on the way, no matter what aspect they are, will be solved on the spot, and they cannot be let go."
After the fat man received this order from Zhou Wu, he felt that Zhou Wu came out this time it was really right, he took the brothers of the squad to Yancheng on the way to Yancheng and also saw those scattered soldiers and brave sins, many people who did not burn the house and robbed the property cursed loudly those bastards, so that when they saw the fat man in civilian clothes, they thought that there was another group of robbers, and they scattered to hide, but fortunately, the fat man ran over, blocked them, asked about the situation, and showed the identity of the New Fourth Army in time, It didn't cause a misunderstanding, the fat man saw that this was not good, in his own land, he was going to arrest those devil war criminals who surrendered brightly, why should he wear plain clothes, so he took it upon himself to order his brothers to quickly change into the gray cloth uniforms of the New Fourth Army that he brought, we are the dignified Jiangbei New Fourth Army, this time I went to Yancheng to catch those devil war criminals who had committed crimes on the land of China, even if they ran into the Kuomintang army, how could it be, if they dared to do it, we would fight with him, who was afraid of whom.
Sure enough, after the brothers of the fat man and his squad changed into the gray cloth uniforms of the New Fourth Army, the local people saw that the New Fourth Army team was coming, and they came out one after another, shouting to them loudly to complain about the evil deeds of the remnants of the puppet army, and the fat man followed Zhou Wu's order to ask him to move randomly and eliminate these bandits and robbers who did bad things on the spot, and patted his chest and shouted to those fellow villagers: "Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, with our New Fourth Army here, we will definitely help you eliminate those bandits, tell us, Where are those bandits running now?"
At this time, the scout brothers in the squad ran back to report to the fat man: "Regiment commander, we found a team of bandits in the village in front of us who were burning and robbing the houses of the villagers, they were all remnants of the Wang puppet army, among which we found that some Kuomintang security regiment soldiers were also involved, these miscellaneous things are better than the little devils, some of the villagers who escaped met us, and they all knelt down and asked us to save them."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get rid of all those miscellaneous pieces for me" When the fat man heard this, his little eyes widened, and he shouted at his brothers at the top of his voice, and the people around him suddenly let out a burst of cheers, and there were more than a dozen young adults on the spot who asked to follow the fat man and them to fight the bandits, and the fat man thought about it, it's okay, a few more people are beneficial, and they can lead the way.
Under the guidance of the local villagers, the fat man and they quickly rushed to the village in front, and sure enough, as reported by the scout brothers, the houses in this village were all set on fire by the remnants of the bandits and puppet army, and the smoke rose billowing up, covering the sky above the village, and the village was surrounded by those villagers who were crying and crying, calling for the sky and grabbing the land, among which there was a white-bearded villager who cried the worst, and the fat man could take his brothers over and ask this fellow: "Don't be afraid, fellow, the New Fourth Army is coming, what are those evil miscellaneous people doing?"
The crying old Xu saw that the fat man was wearing a gray cloth uniform, and immediately hugged the fat man's thigh and cried: "The New Fourth Army is coming, go and save my little granddaughter, the fourteen-year-old girl was ruined by those miscellaneous pieces, her father and mother died under the bayonets of little Japan, I never thought that the little devil surrendered, but was ruined by those two dogs" The villagers next to him hurriedly explained to the fat man that this fellow and his little granddaughter depended on each other, and his son and daughter-in-law were picked to death by the swept devils with bayonets, and when they died, his little granddaughter was only seven years old, and they thought that the little devil had surrendered and could go back to the village to live a good life, but they didn't think that on the third day of returning to the village, they encountered this batch of goddamn miscellaneous pieces, they were worse than the little devils, and they robbed them when they saw good things, and they killed you if they didn't give a shot, And they didn't let go of the girls in the village, they were robbed by them, locked in the house, I heard that the leader who took the lead used to be a flower thief, and he became the commander of the puppet army after taking refuge in the little devil, and now the devil left, they turned upside down, your New Fourth Army arrived, it is really our big savior, go up and save our relatives, we are willing to do cattle and horses for you in the future.
The fat man heard that his hair stood up all of a sudden, and he shouted at those fellows in a loud voice: "Fellow villagers, don't be afraid, I will definitely give you an explanation today, you are waiting here" t1706231537:
