Chu Yunfei came to Xu Dalong's guest room and said to him: "I just received a telegram from the military headquarters, saying that the Japanese army has plans to attack our army, and the 358th Regiment is about to leave. There is something I want to trouble you about. .”
Xu Dalong said: "Sir, please speak."
Chu Yunfei said: "I want to send my sister back to Qiulin Town. I am worried about her safety along the way. Brother, can you please escort her back?"
Xu Dalong said without hesitation: "Since sir, you can trust me, leave this matter to me. Please rest assured, sir, I will escort Miss Chu to Qiulin Town safely."
After Chu Yunfei left, Xu Dalong suddenly remembered something. He asked everyone to prepare to leave. He himself came to the regiment command post and asked to see Chu Yunfei.
He said: "Sir, I am not familiar with Qiulin Town and the terrain in this area. Can you give me a military map?"
Chu Yunfei said: "No problem." After that, he asked his adjutant Sun Ming to find a military map of this area.
While waiting for Sun Ming, Xu Dalong looked at the combat map hanging on the wall and clearly saw the situation between the enemy and ourselves marked on it.
Sun Ming came and handed the map to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong saw that this was a 1:100,000 military map. It was printed quite clearly and the content marked on it was relatively detailed. You must know that the entire independent group only has a 1:500,000 map, and it can only mark the approximate location, which is much worse than this map.
For Xu Dalong, this is a big gain.
Xu Dalong saluted Chu Yunfei, said goodbye and left.
Xu Dalong deliberately asked for military maps because he wanted to understand the dynamics of the Jinsui Army and the Japanese Army.
Although the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army are friendly forces, there are many situations where the Jinsui Army does not report to the Eighth Route Army. Based on historical memories and the map of the situation between us and the enemy that he just saw, Xu Dalong suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, and he immediately wrote Wrote a letter to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Xu Dalong called the third squad leader Zhu Xiaoshan and asked him to lead two soldiers to return the captured weapons, ammunition and 15 horses to the independent regiment.
Xu Dalong handed the letter to Li Yunlong, together with the letters written by Huang Wanqiu's parents and Wang Xinmin, to Zhu Xiaoshan, asking him to hand them over to Li Yunlong, Huang Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyan respectively after he returned.
Then 17 people, including Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and Wei Monk, each rode a horse and brought six more horses, carrying mortars, light machine guns, shells and bullets, as well as food and other supplies, to escort Chu Yun'er back to Qiulin Town. Traveling with them were Chu Yunfei's two orderlies.
Yucheng. The headquarters of the Japanese 110th Division.
Division leader Konichi Fujiwara is 48 years old and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his handsome face. He graduated from the Army Sergeant School in Akita, Japan, and later studied at Tokyo Imperial University in Japan. He successively served as squadron leader, group leader, wing leader, brigade commander, division chief of staff, and division commander. He participated in the Russo-Japanese War and was an experienced warrior with a calm, intelligent and wise personality.
Fujiwara Konichi's high status in the Japanese army lies not only in his high position but also in his origin.
The Fujiwara family was a Japanese aristocrat during the Tang Dynasty in China, and later became a major family in Japan. It still occupies an important position in Japan's military, political, and business circles.
He also has a special identity. He is Tian Huang's uncle in Japan today.
At this moment, he was talking to a handsome Japanese army major.
This Japanese major did not stand respectfully in front of the division commander like ordinary junior officers when meeting him. Instead, he sat on the sofa side by side with Fujiwara Konichi, which was enough to show their close relationship.
The name of this Japanese major is Ken Fujiwara. He is 26 years old and is the nephew of Fujiwara Konichi. He is currently the combat staff officer of the 108th Division Combat Section.
Fujiwara Konichi said cordially: "Jiro, you must be extra careful this time when you lead the advance team deep behind enemy lines. If you are discovered by the enemy midway before reaching the target, you can end the mission."
Jiro is Fujiwara Ken's nickname. He said: "Uncle, thank you for your concern. I will definitely complete this mission." After saying that, he stood up and saluted Fujiwara Konichi.
Fujiwara Konichi also stood up, patted him lovingly on the shoulder, and said, "I'm waiting for news of your victory." With that, he personally sent Fujiwara Ken out to review the members of Masuko's advancing team.
Downstairs, stood 160 Japanese officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers were all elite soldiers selected from the direct team of the 108th Division. They had an average of more than three years of military service and had participated in more than five battles.
After being transferred out, they have gone through two months of training and have now become a very powerful force.
Fujiwara Ken is going to lead this unit to perform a secret mission.
Fujiwara Konichi personally delivered a brief speech to these soldiers, encouraging them to serve the Japanese Empire and be loyal to Tian Huang Bixia.
The members of Masuko's advance team were personally inspected by His Excellency the division commander. They were all in high spirits and shouted loudly: "Japan's Yellow Army is on board, Tian Huangbi is on board."
Twelve hours later, an advancing team left the Japanese-occupied area and entered the area controlled by the Shanxi-Sui Army. They first entered Xiaogushan, avoided the surveillance of the Jinsui Army's forward outposts, bypassed the Jinsui Army's garrison, and continued along the hilly area connecting Xiaogushan to Qiulin Town.
Qiulin Town was originally a small town. Later, during World War II, the district chief's department and the Shanxi King's administrative agencies moved here.
Therefore, it is densely populated and very prosperous, and its scale has already exceeded that of an ordinary county town.
Just as Masuko advanced to Qiulin Town, Xu Dalong and others were escorting Chu Yun'er to Qiulin Town.
The residence of the Zhaojiayu Independent Regiment.
Zhu Xiaoshan and others drove their horses back to the Independent Regiment. They first went to the regiment headquarters and handed Xu Dalong's letter to Li Yunlong.
Under Zhao Gang's supervision, Li Yunlong has now begun to study culture, but he still couldn't understand Xu Dalong's letter, so he handed the letter to Zhao Gang.
After Zhao Gang finished reading Xu Dalong's letter, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to bring the map of the World War II zone, and the three of them studied it carefully.
Li Yunlong said: "The information provided by Xu Dalong is very important. Since Yan Laoxi has given up the territory, we might as well get involved."
Zhao Gang said with some worry: "Although those areas are about to be occupied by the Japanese, they are the defense areas of the Shanxi-Sui Army after all. Will we cause friction in the past?"
Zhang Dabiao said: "Those guys from the Jinsui Army are nothing. They can't hold on and are occupied by the Japanese. Let's go over and fight the Japanese. Is there anything wrong?"
Li Yunlong said: "Well said. Wasn't the place where we are now also the place of the Jinsui Army? Since they have no ability to defend it and have been occupied by the little devils, let's fight off the little devils and occupy these places, and then What’s wrong?”
