It turned out that there were no movie theaters in the counties around Mawu Mountain, so Gao Youtian sent people to Xipu County, east of Guancheng County, to buy them.
Unexpectedly, the projector was not purchased, and the people sent to purchase it were arrested by the local Japanese and puppet troops. The family members of the arrested people went to the Zheng Mansion in the county to cry and complain, hoping that they could be rescued.
Xu Dalong has long heard that Xipu County is very prosperous. Nowadays, the guerrilla family has a big business and has too many places to spend money. He just took this opportunity to make a fortune.
So he and Sun Desheng led three cavalry squadrons of the special operations squadron and left Mawu Mountain for Xipu County.
Xu Dalong and others bypassed Guancheng County to attack Xipu County.
After Xu Dalong and others arrived at the county seat, they first sent a few guerrillas disguised as ordinary people and sneaked into the city. They suddenly seized the city gate and a large group of people rushed into the city.
In the county town, there were only a Japanese military police unit with dozens of Japanese soldiers and some pseudo-policemen, who were no match for the guerrillas. The guerrillas wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops in the city and rescued the staff of the County Zheng Mansion.
The guerrillas confiscated most of the weapons of the pseudo-policemen, returned some old weapons to them, and asked them to continue maintaining law and order. They warned them not to bully the people, and then left the county with a large amount of seized and purchased materials.
When passing by Guancheng County, Xu Dalong and others did not take a detour this time, but came to the outside of the county.
The news that the guerrillas had just taken over Xipu County had reached Guancheng County. Seeing the guerrillas coming outside, every Japanese and puppet army in the city was very scared.
The pseudo-police captain in the county told the pseudo-policemen in advance not to shoot in order to avoid angering the guerrillas outside the city.
The Japanese gendarmerie only numbered a few dozen people, and they simply couldn't defend such a large city.
Some Japs ran up the city wall and fired a few shots, but were killed by guerrilla snipers, and the rest did not dare to shoot anymore.
Xu Dalong is not planning to storm the county, but to create a new model.
He told Monk Wei a few words and asked Monk Wei to speak to the city.
Monk Wei has practiced martial arts all year round and has a large lung capacity. He has a loud voice. He picked up an iron trumpet and shouted to the Japanese and puppet soldiers on the top of the city: "Listen, little devils and puppet soldiers in the city. Now you have We are surrounded by the Mawushan guerrillas. I give you two options. One option is for us to attack the city and eliminate you all. The other option is to agree to our conditions and let you go."
The Japanese gendarmerie captain was hiding behind the arrow stack on the city wall. At this time, he had already sent a telegram to his superiors asking for help. However, the Japanese and puppet troops in the brigade were far away in Dongxiang County and Yinping County. They were far away from here. They were worried about what would happen on the way. When faced with an attack by the guerrillas, they did not have the guts to come for reinforcements, leaving the gendarmerie captain to organize the defense of the county.
The Japs' gendarmerie captain couldn't laugh or cry. The guerrillas outside were really terrifying. Thousands of Japs were no match for them. It was simply a daydream for him to defend the county town with just dozens of troops.
The gendarmerie captain heard the shouting outside and did not dare to answer. He did not know what conditions the guerrillas would offer. If you can't satisfy people, I'm afraid they will attack the city. If they meet their conditions, they are worried that they will be held accountable by their superiors.
So he chose silence.
When Monk Wei saw that the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the city ignored him, he immediately became angry and ordered the special forces to set up artillery and fired two shots at the city gate.
The cannonball hit the gate and instantly destroyed the city gate.
The puppet police captain was frightened and said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, do you want to ask them what their conditions are? Otherwise, we will be doomed if we break in."
The captain of the gendarmerie was already frightened, and he said: "Go and ask quickly."
The pseudo-police captain hid behind the battlements and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grandpas from the Eighth Route Army outside, don't fire. Just say whatever conditions you have. As long as we can do it, we will satisfy you."
Monk Wei picked up the tin trumpet again and shouted: "Our captain said that your Guancheng County is a neighbor of our Mawu Mountain. We are just passing by here. As long as you hand over half of the weapons and ammunition, and another 1 If Wan Dayang comes, we won’t enter the city.”
After hearing this, the fake police captain and the fake police officers were all very willing. They have heard that whether it is Xinhe County or Xipu County, the guerrillas will not embarrass the police and will leave some weapons and ammunition for them to maintain law and order. In this case, who is willing to fight against the guerrillas?
The puppet police captain said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, the guerrillas outside are too powerful, we can't defeat them, and their conditions are not excessive, so hurry up and agree to them."
The gendarmerie captain also heard that the last time the guerrillas attacked Xinhe County, the gendarmerie there escaped and the guerrillas did not intercept them. Listening to the tone of the guerrillas now, it seems that they are very tolerant of the counties around Mawu Mountain, and the conditions offered are indeed not excessive.
His mind was already active, and he was thinking of agreeing to the guerrillas' request.
But he was worried that he would be held accountable by his superiors later, so he hesitated.
Monk Wei waited for a few minutes and saw that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city did not reply, so he asked the guerrillas to fire another shot at the tower.
This shot hit a window of the tower, completely shattering the window. The shrapnel produced by the explosion also injured several Japanese and puppet soldiers on the tower.
At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie captain was frightened and said to the puppet police captain: "Go and tell the Eighth Route Army outside that I agree to their conditions."
The pseudo-police captain hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa Balu outside, don't fight. Taijun has said that he agrees to your conditions."
Monk Wei said: "I will give you one hour to deliver the things. Remember, the weapons and ammunition must be the latest in your hands. If you dare to use some junk to fool the grandfathers, I will break into the city and kill you all."
The pseudo-police captain hurriedly shouted: "If you hear it, we will definitely do it."
At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie captain warned again: "I hope the guerrillas can keep their word."
The pseudo-police captain shouted again: "Gentlemen of the guerrillas outside, Taijun said, I hope you will keep your word."
Monk Wei said: "Don't talk nonsense. Grandpas are upright men. Every spit is like a nail. Hurry up. If you wait any longer, don't blame me for being rude."
The pseudo-police captain seized the moment and said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, just believe them. What they said in front of so many people in the city will affect their credibility if they refuse to pay."
The Japanese military police captain had no choice now and said: "Then let's do this."
The pseudo-police captain shouted outside again: "I know, we'll do it right away."
About 40 minutes later, the president of the city's chamber of commerce drove out several large vehicles. The vehicles were filled with weapons and ammunition. The Japanese and puppet soldiers were afraid that the guerrillas would cause trouble, so they not only selected Good weapons and ammunition, and in greater quantities than the guerrillas required.
Now that they have made such a decision, they do not want the guerrillas to find fault with trivial matters.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce handed over 10,000 yuan and looked at Xu Dalong and others with trepidation.
He was very worried that Xu Dalong and others did not keep their words, suddenly turned against him, and detained him as a meat ticket.
Xu Dalong said in a kind manner: "Thank you for your hard work, you can go back now, but let us use these big cars to pull the things to the place, and they will be returned to you."
Valley
The president of the Chamber of Commerce agreed wholeheartedly, and then trotted all the way back to the city.
The Eighth Route Army had not captured Guancheng County all at once. The drivers who drove the carriages were no longer strangers to the Eighth Route Army. They knew that the Eighth Route Army cared about the people and were willing to help the Eighth Route Army transport supplies.
Xu Dalong promised them that after delivering the supplies this time, each person would give them two oceans.
The coachmen happily followed the guerrillas away.
Naturally, what happened in Guancheng County could not be hidden from the superiors of the Japanese army. At the beginning, the Japanese military police headquarters in Lingao City sent people to the county seat to investigate what happened and prepare to hold the military police captain and the pseudo-police chief accountable. Captain's responsibility.
As a result, the two argued that the guerrillas had surrounded the county at that time, and they had already asked their superiors for help. There were thousands of Japanese troops in Dongxiang County and Yinping County, and they did not dare to come out for reinforcements. They only relied on dozens of soldiers from their military police. Troops and some fake policemen died in vain.
If they do not agree to the guerrillas' conditions and the guerrillas attack the city, not only will they be wiped out, but the material losses will be even greater.
They emphasized that what they did was not wrong and actually reduced losses for the Huang Army.
After all, the gendarmerie captain was a subordinate of the gendarmerie headquarters, and the people sent to investigate also believed that the responsibility did not lie with them. Who made the Japanese troops in the brigade afraid to come for reinforcements?
The gendarmerie captain and the pseudo-police captain took out some more money and bribed the investigators.
As a result, the investigators helped them put in good words, and the matter was dropped.
After this incident, the Japanese gendarmerie, puppet police, and puppet troops in the five counties surrounding the Mawushan base area were deeply impressed that as long as they agreed to the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, they would not be embarrassed.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the county did not dare to provoke the Mawushan guerrillas. They turned a blind eye to the activities of the Mawushan guerrillas, including the county brigade.
This created very favorable conditions for the guerrillas to raise supplies and small groups of personnel.
The news spread like wildfire and reached Chu Yunfei's ears.
Chu Yunfei said with shame: "Brother Dalong and their small guerrilla force have made the Japanese and puppet troops fearful.
Our dignified 358th Brigade is going to occupy a county town owned by the Japanese, but Shangfeng disagrees. This is simply..."
He really couldn't talk anymore.
Fang Ligong was also very embarrassed. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Chu Yunfei, but he didn't know what to say. This gap is really too big.
In the days that followed, Xu Dalong was busy digging coal mines and building arsenals in the mountains.
The guerrillas and county brigades, with squadrons and district squadrons as units, operated around the county, attacked the grassroots organizations of the Japanese and puppet troops, and mobilized the masses to expand their base areas.
That afternoon, the county brigade sent an officer from the Huang Xie Army. When they were operating in Yinping, they discovered a transport team of the puppet army, so they intercepted it. This officer is responsible for leading the team.
Xu Dalong praised the people of the county brigade and gave them 50 yuan as a reward.
The members of the county brigade left happily.
Xu Dalong personally interrogated this Huang Xiejun officer.
This man's name is Wang Shuhuai, and he is the deputy director of the Military Supplies Department of the Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun.
When Wang Shuhuai saw the famous Xu Dalong, he felt very uneasy, not knowing what would happen to him.
Xu Dalong was very kind to him. He asked him about the logistics situation of the Fourth Division, and also learned about the products of Yinping County and other counties to the west of the county. Then he arranged a banquet for him to eat with Wang Shuhuai. chat.
Xu Dalong said that after dinner, he would send Wang Shuhuai back, only asking him to bring a message to the division commander Yan Guiwu, so that from now on the guerrillas and their fourth division could conduct business transactions in secret.
Wang Shuhuai was eager to get away and agreed.
Xu Dalong kept his word. After eating, he sent someone to send him away from the base area and also gave him a horse.
Lingao City.
Wang Shuhuai originally went from Yinping County to Lingao City to deliver supplies. Now that the supplies were lost, he had no choice but to go to see Yan Guiwu.
Yan Guiwu was very angry and said, "You are the only one back. Where are the supplies?"
Wang Shuhuai said: "Master, I'm sorry. I'm humble and incompetent. The supplies were intercepted by the Eighth Route guerrillas in Mawu Mountain."
Yan Guiwu felt a headache when he heard the name of the Mawushan guerrillas. He heard that the supplies were intercepted by the Mawushan guerrillas, so he couldn't blame Wang Shuhuai.
That gang of Eighth Route Army was so powerful. How could a small transport team be their opponent?
After a moment of silence, Yan Guiwu asked: "The guerrillas have released you, do they want you to send a message?"
Wang Shuhuai said quickly: "Master, you are wise. Captain Xu of the Eighth Route Guerrilla Army said that he has admired you for a long time, master, and asked me to send you a message."
"What message?"
Hearing this, Yan Guiwu couldn't help but become nervous.
He knew the conditions proposed by the guerrillas and the Japanese military police in Guancheng County. He guessed that the conditions proposed by Xu Dalong must not be simple and would make him very embarrassed.
Wang Shuhuai said: "The captain of the Eighth Route Army has said that he hopes that he and our Fourth Division will not interfere with each other's wells, and that the two sides will conduct business with each other, and everyone will make a fortune together."
Hearing this, Yan Guiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
He definitely didn't want to communicate with Xu Dalong and the others. If the Japanese found out, it would be a mess.
So he planned to pretend not to hear, and said to Wang Shuhuai: "Okay, you go back and rest first."
Unexpectedly, Wang Shuhuai's next words made Yan Guiwu feel his scalp numb immediately.
