Zhou Wu looked at the fat man and asked him: "Lao Liu, what is there to do with you, how mysterious are you to say quickly, if you have a fart, I still have to go to the company below to see the training of the soldiers" Zhou Wu was very disgusted by the fat man's approach, and hurriedly urged him to say quickly, don't be grinding.
"Lvza, that's the case, you've been living alone for many years, and you've avenged your sister-in-law's great revenge, it's not a matter for such a person to stay alone, Xiao Liu and I have to find someone for you to take care of your daily life, so that you can have a care, and have a haven to rest when you feel tired."
The fat man memorized the lines drafted by his daughter-in-law overnight yesterday, and with his ability to speak, he couldn't say such words, which Zhou Wu knew very well.
When Zhou Wu heard this, he smiled and said to the fat man: "Hehe, Lao Liu, thank you for your concern, I'm used to living alone like this, how free and easy, I see that your Lao Liu still has this mind, hurry up to the team below to catch training, after a while, our column will have a training competition, your group is the main force, don't lose to other teams at that time."
Zhou Wu didn't seem to be interested in these things, so it was better for the fat man to focus on the training of the troops.
The fat man touched the ash of his nose, and it was seen from Zhou Wu's words that there was no play, so he hurriedly found a reason to go out, and when he returned home at night, Xiao Liu asked him if he had told the hotel the fat man also had a bitter face, and said to Xiao Liu: "I don't see any drama, we don't have this plan to start a family at all, and I want me not to chirp in front of him in the future, hey, it seems that we should leave this matter alone, both of them are virtuous, and I don't know what they think."
The fat man muttered.
As soon as Xiao Liu heard the fat man's words, he felt that this matter was no fun, so he sighed and said: "Hey, if our battalion commander and brigade can come together, it would be great, it seems that there is no drama now, don't make a fuss about this matter, let's do the things at hand honestly, maybe one day we will have to fight on the battlefield again." ” The fat man heard his wife's words, and thought about it, since Zhou Wu and Shen Lina didn't feel anything, what do you want them to do, since they have done their best, then it's up to Zhou Wu and Shen Lina to follow their own fate, we can't control this kind of invisible and untouchable thing.
In this way, the fat man and his wife did not rest assured about this matter, the calm time always flies, and before they know it, it has reached the end of 1945, and finally there is a peaceful year to pass, the base is in a commotion, the New Fourth Army and the common people are busy celebrating the New Year, showing a joyful scene.
Not long ago, I heard that the Kuomintang army was going to launch an attack on the base area, which really made the villagers nervous for a while, but soon the Kuomintang and the Communist Party signed a peace agreement in Chongqing, and the imminent civil war was temporarily stopped The military department of the New Fourth Army approved the resignation of the old army commander and appointed Zhou Wu as the commander of the Jiangbei Advance Column, the old army commander made an important contribution to the uprising of the 79th Army, the military department arranged for him and his family to go to Yan'an to see, the old army commander happily accepted the invitation, Zhou Wu immediately sent a team of capable teams to escort the old army commander and his family to Yan'an, Yan'an is a revolutionary holy land, at that time it was a place that many people yearn for, but most of the defense areas along the way were the defense areas of the Kuomintang army, the situation is very complicated, although it is now a period of peaceful truce, But the Kuomintang spies are not idle, they are still frantically grabbing the Communist Party everywhere, at this time to Yan'an, Zhou Wu must send capable generals to escort the old army commander and his family, otherwise they will be intercepted by the Kuomintang spies on the way, then the trouble will be big.
Zhou Wu thought about it, or let Ge Sanmin take this team to be reliable, Ge Sanmin's mind is more careful than the fat man, calm in case of trouble, and will use his brain, although the position is not as good as the fat man, but in terms of resourcefulness and calmness, the fat man is still not as good as Ge Sanmin, so after Zhou Wu discussed with the Niu political commissar, it was decided that Ge Sanmin would take a team of thirty or forty people to escort the old army commander's family to Yan'an, before leaving, Zhou Wu told Ge Sanmin: "Ge Sanmin, the safety of the old army commander will be entrusted to you, Must be safely escorted to Yan'an. ” "Yes, commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the task" Ge Sanmin has also been upgraded now, his second regiment is now the second brigade under the advance column, and the old army commander is his old superior in the middle before, and he is still the old superior, this time escorting the old army commander and his family to Yan'an, the responsibility is heavy, the Kuomintang side has long hated the old army commander, and strictly ordered the military commander and the central command to hunt down and kill the old army commander, dead or alive, in order to give those generals in the Kuomintang army who sympathize with the communist armed forces a warning Ge Sanmin knew the importance of his mission, and with Zhou Wu's consent, he carefully selected the members of the squad in the entire column, all of whom were first-class and first-class good players, each with two brushes, and they were all equipped with good guys who could be found in the column, prepared sufficient ammunition and materials, and dressed up as a cargo caravan, and set off from Tianchangmatan to Yan'an in the west.
A month later, the news came from the military department, saying that the old army commander and his party had arrived in Yan'an safely, and they were received by the chairman, and the old army commander saw the situation in Yan'an, he was deeply touched, and decided to stay in Yan'an and not leave, and the central government also arranged a job for him according to the old army commander's wishes, and Ge Sanmin, who was responsible for escorting, and his team had returned the same way, and it was estimated that they would be able to rush to Jiangbei in half a month.
Zhou Wu's heart hanging at the bottom of his throat finally let go, the old military commander They have arrived at their destination safely, Ge Sanmin and they will return again, the unbearable cold weather here is about to pass, and the spring of the recovery of all things is coming, I hope this spring is still a quiet and peaceful spring, how good it would be, although our soldiers make a living from war, but this peace is too difficult to come by, too precious, how unforgettable.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Wu, who was idle in the headquarters and had nothing to do with the staff officers, suddenly received a telegram from the military headquarters, which was in a very heavy tone, saying that the Kuomintang troops in Jiangbei had been somewhat abnormal recently, and that they were frequently adjusting their defenses, and that Zhou Wu's advance column should remain vigilant and pay attention to the movements of the Kuomintang troops.
Zhou Wu took the telegram, found the political commissar Lao Niu and the chief of staff Lao Xu, and asked the two of them to analyze and analyze, at this time, the Kuomintang army was frequently tuned, what were they going to do Political Commissar Niu looked at it and hurriedly said: "This still needs to be analyzed, Lao Jiang, are they ready for civil war Lao Zhou, I think the peaceful days in our base area are over, let's hurry up and prepare for the battle, just in case." ” Chief of Staff Lao Xu also nodded frequently: "Yes, the political commissar is right, the location of our Jiangbei base area is very sensitive to Lao Jiang, it happens to be next to his Nanjing government, our team can rush to Nanjing in two days with a forced march, and the first thing Lao Jiang has to do after moving the capital of the Nationalist Government to Nanjing is to drive our Jiangbei New Fourth Army out, so that he can eat and sleep well." ” "Yes, your analysis is reasonable, it is estimated that the Central Committee will make concessions to the Kuomintang in order to prevent Lao Chiang from provoking a civil war, and it seems that our Jiangbei New Fourth Army is going to move its nest."
Zhou Wu felt that if this continued, it would be impossible for them Jiangbei New Fourth Army to stay in Jiangbei, first of all, Lao Jiang would ask the New Fourth Army to retreat for various reasons, and the New Fourth Army had always been regarded by him as a "thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh", as early as four years ago, he had been poisoned in southern Anhui, in order to achieve his goal, he could have another Jiangbei version of the "Southern Anhui Incident", this point, Zhou Wu was still quite convinced that Lao Jiang had this mind and means, even the most difficult time of the Anti-Japanese War, He dared to brazenly launch a siege of the New Fourth Army in the face of the world's condemnation, not to mention that it would not stop when the momentum was at its peak.
Lao Niu and Lao Xu both nodded solemnly and said yes, feeling that Zhou Wu's speculation was reasonable, and it was not a matter of a day or two for the Kuomintang diehards to regard the New Fourth Army as a thorn in their side, and they had long wanted to eliminate the entire New Fourth Army in order to eliminate the communist forces around their ruling center, so this Kuomintang-Communist civil war either did not fight, and once it started, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the Jiangbei region here, and here, the Kuomintang forces were unprecedentedly strong, and the New Fourth Army may have to face an unprecedented predicament, and it must be fully prepared for the unexpected.
Sure enough, within a few days, an urgent telegram came from the military headquarters, demanding that the Jiangbei New Fourth Army be ready to meet the battle; in recent days, a large number of elite Kuomintang troops have rushed to the Jiangbei area, the Kuomintang has set up a general headquarters for suppressing bandits in Xuzhou, the US army is using warships to help the old Chiang transport troops to Jiangbei, and a large number of Kuomintang troops have landed in Lianyungang and other places; a civil war is about to break out, and the situation is quite critical; the military department has asked the advance to strengthen the vigilance at Yancheng Port, which is controlled by the column, to strictly guard against a surprise attack by the Kuomintang troops After receiving this order from the military headquarters, Zhou Wu immediately sent a telegram to Huang Shuisheng, who was stationed at Yancheng Port, ordering him to immediately strengthen his defense, pay attention to the movements of the Kuomintang troops around him, and report immediately if there was anything unusual.
Huang Shuisheng's special service regiment has been upgraded to the fourth brigade of the advance column, not only in addition to the following three regiments, but also has a naval army team converted from four small steamers, the strength is not what it used to be, after receiving this order from Zhou Wu, Huang Shuisheng immediately sent a reconnaissance team to the surrounding area to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, organize the defense of Yancheng Port, and prepare for the battle. t1706231537:
