Lao Niu was about to open his mouth to defend himself, and the communication soldier brother came over to report: "The headquarters called back" Zhou Wu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, what is the situation" Commander Li called back in such a quick time, presumably the commander is also a task, and the troops at hand are not enough, so he wants him to give up this plan of intercepting the enemy halfway to reinforce the enemy in Lianyungang.
"In view of the change in the enemy's situation, after careful study by the headquarters, it is believed that the plan proposed by your department to ambush the enemy between Xinyi and Lianyungang is feasible, and the Jiangbei People's Liberation Army contingent that has rushed to the liberated area of Shandong will immediately move south, and a total of two divisions and one independent regiment will be commanded by Zhou Wu from now on.
As soon as Zhou Wu heard that Commander Li and the others had agreed to this halfway interception plan, and the superiors still thought that their injuries had not healed, and they wanted Niu Political Commissar and Lao Xu to act as agents, so he was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Shen Lina's hand, who had just returned, and said to her: "Comrade Xiao Shen, you see that the situation is so tense now, I want to return to the command post, such a large-scale ambush war, Lao Xu and Lao Niu's burden is too heavy, I apply for formal discharge, please approve and agree."
Shen Lina saw that her hand was tightly grasped by Zhou Wu, although she had already made a clear relationship with Zhou Wu, but with so many people here, it was not good to pull and pull, so she hurriedly shook off Zhou Wu's hand, and said to him: "Okay, the military situation is urgent, military commander, you can be discharged from the hospital, but you must take medicine on time and follow the doctor's instructions, can you do it" Shen Lina put on a posture of an attending doctor, seeing Lao Xu and Lao Niu, they almost laughed, but they all held back.
As soon as Zhou Wu heard that Shen Lina agreed to his discharge, he immediately said to Lao Niu and them energetically: "Lao Niu, you see, the doctor agreed to discharge me from the hospital, haha, now I will be free, let's go back to the military headquarters."
Lao Niu hurriedly pulled Zhou Wu and whispered to him: "Zhou Wu, you speak so unobtrusively, why are you free, is it possible that Xiao Shen locked you up here, tell Xiao Shen goodbye, let's avoid it" Lao Niu immediately gave Lao Xu a look, Lao Xu understood, so he and Lao Niu hurriedly retreated, only Zhou Wu and Shen Lina were left in the room, Zhou Wu was not good at expressing this problem, in the face of this Shen Lina, he hesitated for a long time, or Shen Lina spoke first: "Lao Zhou, pay attention to your body, take medicine on time, I will take time to come back to the military headquarters to see you, you go quickly, the front line is important" Zhou Wu listened to Shen Lina's words, his heart was excited, and he couldn't express his inner feelings in words, so he hurriedly hugged Shen Lina, patted her back, and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Shen, thank you for taking care of you during this time, when we arrive in Shandong, I will definitely marry you."
After speaking, Zhou Wu gently pushed Shen Lina away, and walked towards the military headquarters without looking back, leaving Shen Lina still there recalling the meaning of Zhou Wu's words just now, with mixed feelings in her heart, Zhou Wu finally showed her that he was really anxious and willing to marry her, but seeing Zhou Wu so busy, I am afraid that after I get married, I will also gather less and leave more, but for the sake of the revolution, it is still necessary to sacrifice the happiness of the small family.
Back to the military headquarters, Zhou Wu immediately contacted Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng who were far away near Lianyungang, and learned that they had led the team to rush to the vicinity of Lianyungang, so he ordered them to leave a part of the team to continue to monitor and contain Lianyungang to defend the enemy, and immediately rushed west to the Xinyi area to meet the military headquarters, and at the same time ordered Lao Chen's team to speed up and rush to Lianyungang as soon as possible to form an encirclement of the enemy in Lianyungang.
In view of the changes in the enemy situation, the original plan for landing in the liberated area near Rizhao in Shandong Province was cancelled and instead landed in the area north of Lianyungang to cooperate with Lao Chen and Ge Sanmin in their encirclement of the enemy in Lianyungang After receiving the telegram, Huang Shuisheng asked his brothers, who were familiar with the sea route: "Where have we been now?"
"Just now we met fishermen fishing on the surface of the sea, according to them, this is already the surface of the Zhendong Sea, and it will be dozens of nautical miles before we can reach the waters of Lianyungang."
Huang Shuisheng's brothers reported that although these brothers with excellent water properties were walking on the ground in Gaoyou Lake and Hongze Lake, and knew the water topography in the lake well, but this time it was the first time to go to sea, the sea was boundless, the sea and the sky were one color, and it was difficult to even distinguish the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and there was no map at hand.
Huang Shuisheng simply let the fleet go north along the coastline, and those who can't run away from the coastal land should have no big problem sailing north along the coast.
When Huang Shuisheng heard that their fleet was about to rush to the waters of Lianyungang, he was a little relieved, after all, he had broken free from the pursuit of those Kuomintang naval ships behind, and since then to the north, as long as the enemy navy on the Lianyungang side does not come out to intercept, they will hardly encounter the threat of a large number of enemy fleets on the way, and most of the Haizhou Bay in Shandong is the scope of the liberated area of Shandong, as long as they can break through the waters of Lianyungang and reach the sea near Ganyu, they can go ashore and land to complete the task of retreating north.
A staff officer under Huang Shuisheng ran over and reported to him: "The military department is calling" As soon as Huang Shuisheng heard this, Zhou Wu called again, and sent him messages in such a short period of time, which showed that the enemy situation in front of him had changed again, and it seemed that Zhou Wu estimated that a new order had come down.
Sure enough, Zhou Wu said in the telegram: A group of Kuomintang troops have arrived at Lianyungang by warship, the strength of the defenders of Lianyungang has been strengthened, and there is already information that the enemy stationed in Lianyungang is blockading the coast, and your troops can no longer land and land in the Ganyu area north of Lianyungang, but instead land and land near the mouth of the abandoned Yellow River near Zhendong, and assist Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng's team to contain the enemy in Lianyungang and ensure that they do not reinforce to the west At this time, Shui Sheng did not know that Zhou Wu and the others were going to launch a campaign plan against the two divisions of the Kuomintang army that reinforced Lianyungang, and he did not understand why Zhou Wu wanted him to land at the mouth of the abandoned Yellow Sea near Zhendong Huang Shuisheng couldn't figure it out, and hurriedly sent a telegram to contact Zhou Wu, who immediately called him back and told him the reason: The enemy situation has changed, and there are two divisions of Kuomintang troops out of Xuzhou and towards Lianyungang, and your unit is to cooperate with Ge Sanmin to besiege and contain the enemy in Lianyungang.
Only then did Huang Shuisheng understand that Zhou Wu was still going to encircle and reinforce the enemy in Lianyungang on the way to the north, so he had the bottom in his heart, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to slow down, look at the direction, turn around and look west to find the estuary of the waste Yellow Sea, and land ashore But Huang Shuisheng didn't have a map at hand, let alone a nautical chart for navigation, all relying on the guidance of the sun and stars and the fishermen and brothers, all the way here, but now he was asked to determine the direction, Huang Shuisheng was a little confused, and didn't know which direction to go Huang Shuisheng wanted to find some fishing fellows to ask for directions, but at this moment there was not a fishing boat on the sea This is not good, Huang Shuisheng thought of a way, the water in front of him was vast, I don't know where I am now, ask those brothers under him, they are also at a loss, they don't know where they are now, they just know that this is the Zhendong Sea, whether the waste Yellow Sea is here in the south or north, then it can't be said No way, as the leader, Huang Shuisheng must point out the direction for his fleet, otherwise everyone will be soaked in the sea and wander back and forth, that is not a way, Huang Shuisheng with intuition, thinking that the waste Yellow Sea is in the north, so he ordered the fleet to continue to sail to the north, in order to be on the safe side, he personally took a small gunboat in front, first rushed to explore the way.
The little gunboat was really fast, Huang Shuisheng and they drove all the way to the north, and spent a lot of time, carefully searching along the coast, but they just couldn't find the estuary of the waste Yellow River, Huang Shuisheng saw that he couldn't look like this anymore, otherwise the gunboat would not have enough fuel on it, and it would be difficult for the brothers to row the gunboat forward with oars Huang Shuisheng immediately ordered the gunboat to return, and after meeting with the fleet, he called all the officers under his command and said to them: "Brothers, now we can say that we are lost on the sea, the army commander asked us to land and land at the mouth of the waste Yellow Sea, but it seems that it is impossible for us to land there anymore, I suggest that we immediately land and land nearby, leave a company of brothers to take care of the ships, and the rest of the team all land ashore, find the local people, ask about the situation and location, and then talk about the situation."
When the officers under Huang Shuisheng heard this, they felt that they were now lost on the sea, and they didn't know where they went, just knowing that it was the Zhendong Sea, there was a fart, and this situation was inquired about from the fishermen who were fishing yesterday, and now they have sailed to the north for a day, and they have already passed the Zhendong Sea, if the waste Yellow Sea is near Zhendong, it would have run over it a long time ago, and then run back, wouldn't it take a lot of time to wait for us to get to Lianyungang, it is estimated that the daylilies are cold, Where can we catch up with the battle to encircle and annihilate the Kuomintang army?
But only one company stayed to take care of so many large and small ships, and the officers under Huang Shuisheng felt that something was inappropriate, and one of the regiment commanders suggested to Huang Shuisheng: "Division commander, I think we can split into two actions, leaving half of the brothers to continue to search for the mouth of the abandoned Yellow Sea near the coast, and the rest of the team will land and land on the spot here, as long as we can maintain communication contact, we will meet soon, so that even if we encounter an attack by the Kuomintang army after landing here, we can also coordinate with each other, Otherwise, all the swarms will land ashore, and what if the enemy attacks?"
