Li Yunlong was still a little unhappy when he saw Xu Dalong.
He said: "Dalong, the brigade commander called and said that your boy's invention of the coded telegraph was approved by him. Please tell me, why are you praising the little devil? If you don't tell me one, two, three today, Be careful that Laozi beats you up."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain! You can't beat me."
Li Yunlong stared and said, "What's the matter? Laozi beats you, do you dare to fight back?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "How dare you? You don't even dare to beat me to death. You are not only my leader, but also my brother. You should beat me."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "That's pretty much it. Just tell us what's going on?"
Xu Dalong did not explain the coded telegram. He first explained in detail the entire process of how to force the Japanese army to surrender to the three regiment leaders.
Zhang Dabiao nodded and said: "No wonder, the little devils will surrender to you guerrillas, you actually used so many tricks."
Zhao Gang said with emotion: "In this battle, you not only used military means, but also used political means and psychological warfare. It is really rare. This good experience is worth summarizing and promoting."
Li Yunlong said with satisfaction: "Yes, well done. It really makes Lao Zi look good. Tell me, why did you let those Japanese go and invent a coded telegram to praise them?"
Xu Dalong reiterated his idea of setting a trap for the Japanese and throwing the hot potato into the hands of the Japanese superiors.
Li Yunlong completely understood. He smiled and said: "Brother Dalong, you look like an honest man on the outside, but in fact you are a big slippery man. He is so scheming that you can sell out the devils and let them help count the money."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, you have wronged me. Everyone says I am an honest person."
Zhang Dabiao also laughed and said: "The leader is right. If you are an honest person, then Zhuge Liang may be a fool. Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha." Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also laughed together.
Lingao City.
Qianye Xun has been paying attention to the battle situation in Yinping County. He had originally given up on the 81st Regiment, hoping that they would all die there and consume some of the anti-Japanese armed forces before they died. Although he would feel heartbroken after losing so many people from the 81st Regiment, how could there be no casualties in a war? He can accept this result.
What he never expected was that the 81st Regiment surrendered to Xu Dalong. This news surprised him even more than the fact that all the 81st Regiment died in battle.
When he saw more than a thousand remnants of the 81st Regiment returning to Lingao City, he was at a loss and didn't know how to handle the matter.
His first reaction was to be very angry, hating these officers and soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and wished to shoot them all immediately. However, when he saw the officers and soldiers of the 81st Regiment, all of them were ragged and scarred, and he did not give any They sent reinforcements, but they still couldn't bear it.
However, the surrender of the Japanese army to the enemy was a big event after all, so he had no choice but to order these people to be locked up in the barracks, put under guard, and not allowed to go out.
Chiba Xunyi carefully asked the captain of the 81st Regiment and his officers and soldiers about the entire battle process and the reasons for the surrender. Only then did he realize that Xu Dalong's methods were too vicious. Let alone the captain of the 81st Regiment, he was Qianye In that situation, Ye Xunyi was very likely to choose to surrender.
Chiba Xunichi knew that this matter was a heavy responsibility. He risked being slapped in the face and personally took the captain of the 81st Regiment to Taiyuan City to report to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.
Commander Yoshio Shinozuka once served as a professor at Tokyo Imperial University and was a famous Confucian general. However, his officers and soldiers actually surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield, which still made him very angry.
As soon as he changed his elegant style, he directly gave Qianye a big mouth to vent his anger.
No wonder Yoshio Shinozuka was so rude. The impact of this incident was really too great. Not only was he reprimanded by the North China Front Army, but even the Japanese base camp was very angry. The Minister of War personally sent a telegram to severely punish him. He reprimanded and asked him to execute all the Japanese officers and soldiers who surrendered.
Chiba Xunyi stood there honestly and received this lesson. Although his face hurt, the discomfort in his heart weakened a little.
After Shinozuka Yoshio's anger subsided, he asked the captain of the 81st Regiment to report the battle and the surrender process to Shinozuka Yoshio in detail.
After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka felt that Xu Dalong's methods were really clever. Under the circumstances at that time, it was difficult for the Japanese officers and soldiers not to have a mental breakdown and finally chose to surrender.
He had read all the news reports about this incident and felt that the Japanese army had been slapped in the face this time, very badly. His first feeling was to execute all the officers and soldiers of the 81st Regiment who were afraid of death and surrendered to the enemy, but the clear coded telegram sent by Xu Dalong made him very embarrassed.
Not only could he see this clear telegram, but the lower-level officers and even the soldiers could also see the content of Xu Dalong's telegram.
The officers and soldiers of the 81st Regiment have indeed fulfilled their duty as soldiers on the battlefield, and even the enemy admires them very much. If they were executed like this, ordinary Japanese officers and soldiers would feel sad that a rabbit had died, and they would have a sympathetic attitude toward the officers and soldiers of the 81st Wing, thereby becoming dissatisfied with their superiors.
This is really a hot potato, which makes Yoshio Shinozuka feel very worried.
At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka had calmed down and discussed with Chiba Xunichi how to handle the matter.
In the end, the two people discussed a result and planned to send these Japanese officers and soldiers back to Japan to perform hard labor. This would punish these Japanese officers and soldiers without going too far and causing dissatisfaction among other ordinary officers and soldiers.
Yoshio Shinozuka personally drafted a document and sent it to the North China Front Headquarters.
After careful study, the top brass of the North China Front agreed with Yoshio Shinozuka's handling of the matter.
Xu Dalong rushed back to Mawu Mountain. At this time, the guerrillas and Chu Yunfei's troops had finished resting and reorganized, and then drove out of Yinping County. The large group of troops continued to attack Lingao City.
Chiba Xunyi panicked, worried that Lingao City could not be defended, and urged the Japanese 108th Division to send troops for reinforcements.
The 108th Division sent the main force of the 215th Brigade to Lingao City. The actions of Xu Dalong and others effectively contained the strength of the Japanese 108th Division and coordinated the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Shitai Line.
During the raid on the Shitai Line, various units of the Eighth Route Army captured more than 30 Japanese strongholds, wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops, and destroyed dozens of kilometers of railway lines, leaving the Japanese unable to fight for two months. Open to traffic. The entire raid achieved significant results.
After completing the task of coordinating the main action, Chu Yunfei led his troops back to the base of the 358th Brigade, and Xu Dalong also led the guerrillas back to the base area.
After capturing Yinping County this time, Xu Dalong left Sun Desheng to lead some troops to garrison Yinping County.
Nowadays, the Mawushan base area has developed greatly. The 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army serves as a barrier to the south. It also owns a vast area including two counties, and the replenishment of soldiers and supplies is better guaranteed.
In order to cope with a larger-scale attack by the Japanese army in the future, the guerrillas seized the time to expand and reorganize.
After the expansion and reorganization of the Mawushan Guerrilla Force, the force is still known as the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade, which consists of a brigade headquarters, an intelligence comprehensive squadron, a special operations comprehensive squadron, a direct comprehensive squadron, a transportation comprehensive squadron, and a service comprehensive squadron.
There are cavalry sub-brigades, including three comprehensive cavalry squadrons and 12 cavalry squadrons.
The tanks are divided into brigades, including three comprehensive tank squadrons and nine tank squadrons.
The infantry is divided into brigades, including three infantry comprehensive squadrons and 12 infantry squadrons.
The artillery is divided into groups, including two comprehensive squadrons and six artillery squadrons.
The total strength of the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade is 5,154, and the Guancheng County Brigade and the Yinping County Brigade have been established. Each county brigade has a strength of more than 2,200 people.
Mawushan Central County Zhengfu has jurisdiction over Yinping County Zhengfu and Guancheng County Zhengfu.
The strength of the Mawushan guerrillas continues to expand, but the organization sounds a bit chaotic. Chu Yunfei said, "Brother Dalong, what did they do? They are so powerful that they have already surpassed a brigade, but they are still a deputy regiment-level guerrilla brigade. This is too unfair. I really don't know what they did." Thought."
Fang Ligong was also a little puzzled. He said: "Chief Xu has always kept a low profile. He probably deliberately concealed his strength in order to deceive the Japanese army."
Chu Yunfei said: "This is simply nonsense. Their guerrillas can kill a Japanese regiment in one battle, and it is not a problem to fight against a Japanese brigade. With such great strength, it is said that he is a deputy regiment level guerrilla. Are you fooling around?"
Guancheng County.
The strength of the Mawushan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade has grown again, and the financial pressure is also increasing. Administrative expenses and the food, drink, garbage, and sleep of the troops require a large amount of money. Xu Dalong is unwilling to let the common people in the base area bear the burden, and his superiors Without funding, the huge pressure made Xu Dalong feel a little breathless.
He had to temporarily stop combat operations and find ways to make money to support so many people.
Gao Youtian fully understood Xu Dalong's difficulties. He took the initiative to ask that the finances of the Zheng Mansion in Mawushan Central County be separated from the finances of the guerrilla brigade. In terms of finance, they would collect taxes from the base area to balance expenditures.
Xu Dalong attached great importance to this. He did not want to be opposed by the common people because of this. He asked Gao Youtian to fully solicit the opinions of local organizations at all levels in the Mawushan base area, especially at the village level, so that they could mobilize the masses extensively and levy taxes. A very low tax rate to see if the masses can accept it.
Gao Youtian mobilized various functional departments of the County Zheng Mansion, dispatched a large number of cadres to the countryside, and extensively solicited the opinions of the masses. The results were satisfactory.
