Xu Dalong said: "Captain, just tell us what you have in mind."
Li Yunlong said: "My idea is to fight again and choose a big target. Of course, I am not familiar with where to fight and how to fight. I am not familiar with the situation here. It all depends on you."
To be honest, Xu Dalong led the main force of the Mawushan guerrillas to wait in vain for a while at Lijiazhuang this time. They did not get a fight, and he felt a little angry.
After Li Yunlong's move, he was moved and said, "Okay then. Let's hold another meeting to listen to everyone's opinions."
Soon after, in the conference room of the Mawushan guerrillas, the coalition forces held another combat meeting.
Li Yunlong has a lot of ideas. He is worried that everyone will have different opinions during the meeting and the combat operation will eventually be cancelled. So he first went to Kong Jie before the meeting, fanned Kong Jie a lot, and persuaded Kong Jie to agree with his opinion during the meeting.
Then he went to find Chu Yunfei, and while building friendship with Chu Yunfei, he also used the provoking method.
Chu Yunfei now had strong troops and horses, and he also wanted to show his skills in front of Li Yunlong, so he agreed with Li Yunlong's opinion.
If Li Yunlong hadn't been familiar with several leaders of the Independence Brigade, he might have gone there to stir up some fanfare.
Xu Dalong had already received a report on Li Yunlong's little move, and he secretly found it funny.
In fact, he had already made up his mind to fight again. Li Yunlong's doing so paved the way for him.
At the joint meeting, Xu Dalong solicited the opinions of the generals of each army.
Kong Jie and Chu Yunfei had agreed to Li Yunlong in advance. They all responded to Li Yunlong's proposal and chose a new combat target to launch another offensive campaign.
After all, several leaders of the independent brigade had not joined the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces for a long time. They were all very cautious. Seeing the attitude of Li Yunlong and others, they naturally wanted to follow the trend and express their support.
In this way, the determination to launch a new offensive campaign was determined.
Now in this area, the larger combat targets that can be selected include the Japanese 108th Division in Yucheng, the 110th Division in Yangquan, and the Japanese 32nd Garrison Division in Lingao City.
Geographically speaking, the three enemy forces are located in an acute triangle. The closest one to Guancheng County is Lingao City where the 32nd Japanese Garrison Division is stationed.
The coalition chose to attack the garrison 32nd Division. Since Yangquan was relatively far away from Lingao City, the main Japanese reinforcements should be the 108th Division from Yucheng. From this point of view, it is more advantageous to attack Lingao City.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops, the 32nd garrison division was obviously weaker than the 108th division and the 110th division. From this point of view, if we defend the 32nd Division, we are more certain of winning.
After everyone's discussion, it was finally decided to choose the 32nd Japanese Garrison Division as the main target of this battle.
The battle was decided, and the first step was for Zheng Xirong's intelligence squadron to collect relevant intelligence.
The various troops participating in the war rested and reorganized in Guancheng County. They waited until they had obtained relevant information about the Japanese army before formulating corresponding combat plans.
In order to prevent the brigade commander from worrying, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie jointly sent a telegram to the brigade commander, reporting the results of the last battle and the concept of launching a new offensive campaign.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were struggling outside like this. As the brigade commander had expected, the brigade commander didn't say anything. The telegram he sent back was still two words: Agree.
There were no combat operations for the time being, so Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie and others asked to visit the Mawushan guerrilla base. Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu accompanied them on the visit.
The first place Li Yunlong and others visited was the troops belonging to the Mawushan Guerrillas. The Mawushan guerrillas' large strength, sophisticated equipment, good barracks conditions and abundant meals for the troops were all praised by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others. They all said that Xu Dalong and others were so capable that they made the army so fat.
The arsenal of the Mawushan guerrillas has also improved greatly now. It has more than 80 technicians and workers, capable of repairing various weapons, producing 60mm and 70mm mortar shells, Type 79 rifle bullets, grenades, and landmines. The output is It is also very considerable and can basically meet the needs of independent brigades, county brigades and militia.
The crowd also visited coal mines and other Mawushan guerrilla enterprises.
When Li Yunlong heard that the Mawushan guerrillas had their own clothing factory, he immediately became interested. You must know that he has served as the director of a clothing factory. He wants to see what the scale of the clothing factory here is.
Chuntao is now the director of a garment factory. Seeing the old director Li Yunlong, she happily said: "Welcome Director Li."
Li Yunlong saw Chuntao, the former cook in the clothing factory, now wearing a brand new military uniform and looking very energetic.
He said happily: "Chuntao, you are really good. I thought you could only cook, but now you are the director of the factory."
Chuntao smiled and said: "How am I qualified to be the director of the factory? This is all what Captain Xu forced me to do. After going back and forth, I can barely do it now."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, don't underestimate Chuntao, she is a very capable person, and now the garment factory is run in an orderly manner by her."
Everyone walked into the clothing factory while chatting.
In the workshop, Li Yunlong and others saw workers in the garment factory cutting fabrics. All the workers in the entire workshop were doing this.
Li Yunlong asked with some confusion: "With so many people doing tailoring, where are the people sewing clothes?"
Chuntao introduced: "Director Li, our garment factory uses an assembly line. This workshop is only responsible for cutting, and other workshops are responsible for other processes."
After saying that, Chuntao took everyone to visit the sewing workshop.
There are seventy or eighty sewing machines in the sewing workshop, and the workers are busy there.
Then they visited other workshops, where some people specialized in sewing buttons and others specialized in folding clothes.
Li Yunlong said: "Your garment factory is very large. It seems to have more people than ours."
Chuntao said very proudly: "The garment factory here now has more than a hundred workers, and the military uniforms and quilts produced can meet the needs of tens of thousands of our guerrillas, independent brigades, and county brigades."
Li Yunlong said happily: "Okay, I really can't tell. Chuntao is really a clothing factory director. He is much more powerful than me, the factory director who rushes ducks to sell products."
Chuntao smiled and said: "This all depends on the support of Captain Xu. Our garment factory has guaranteed funds and raw materials, so that it can complete its production tasks."
The next day, Xu Dalong and others accompanied Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to visit the construction of base-level organizations and watch the tactics and personal skill drills of the county brigade and basic militiamen.
Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others discovered that the equipment training of the county brigade and even the basic militia here of the Mawushan guerrillas was no less advanced than the supplementary regiments developed by the old army.
After everyone visited, Zhao Gang went to visit the management work of the Zhengfu Department of Guancheng County and gave positive affirmations.
Through this visit, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Mawushan base area created by the Mawushan guerrillas.
They were all very impressed that Xu Dalong and his group had only a hundred and ten people who came to Mawu Mountain, but they actually established such a large family business here.
Zhao Gang was a thoughtful person. He wrote down everything he saw and heard in the Mawu Mountain Base Area in his diary. He planned to compile a piece of material after returning to the Taihang Mountain Base Area and report it to the brigade chief.
This morning, in the guerrilla conference room, Zheng Xirong reported on the situation of the Japanese garrison 32nd Division in Lingao City.
The meeting designated Sun Desheng, Fang Ligong, Zhang Dabiao, Huang Jingzhong and the chief of staff of the New Second Regiment to jointly formulate a specific combat plan.
Three days later, the main force of the coalition forces left Guancheng County and headed for Lingao City. The battle to attack the Japanese garrison 32nd Division officially began.
In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Xu Dalong led Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron, disguised as Japanese troops, and first went to Lingao City, followed by large troops.
Xu Dalong and others arrived outside Lingao City and met up with Zheng Xirong who had arrived early. Zheng Xirong reported to Xu Dalong the latest situation in Lingao City.
The first is that Chiba Xunyi suddenly left the division headquarters of the 32nd Division yesterday, saying that he went to Taiyuan to attend a combat meeting held by the First Army.
Also, the night before yesterday, a large amount of weapons and equipment were shipped, including many Type 92 infantry guns and mortars, Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked machine guns, etc., as well as a large amount of ammunition. The number of these weapons and equipment has exceeded the establishment of the 32nd Guarding Division. It seems that they have specially strengthened the firepower of the 32nd Guarding Division.
This batch of weapons has not yet been issued, and they are all stored in the newly built arsenal in the east of the city.
All this information was provided by Takahashi Bei. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, Takahashi Bei could not inquire in detail. The situation he had was not very detailed. The content of the combat meeting attended by Chiba Xunyi and the specific details of weapons and ammunition He could only give a rough estimate of the quantity.
But these circumstances are enough for Xu Dalong, this is really a good thing that falls from the sky. The coalition troops are about to attack the Japanese garrison 32nd Division. The division commander is not at the division headquarters at this time, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the garrison 32nd Division to a certain extent.
A large number of weapons and equipment shipped by the Japanese army have been stored in the arsenal and have not yet been distributed. This is also a golden opportunity.
Xu Dalong decided to advance the battle plan, so he sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and others, asking them to speed up their march. He decided to lead the special forces and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron to seize the opportunity to send new shipments before the Japanese army. Before coming to the weapons and ammunition, first capture the arsenal.
Xu Dalong carefully considered the action plan, and after mature consideration, he asked Zheng Xirong to return to the city, get in touch with Takahashi Bingwei, keep abreast of the Japanese army's movements, and report to Zheng Xirong in a timely manner.
After dinner that day, Xu Dalong and others were ready to launch a raid on the arsenal at night.
At this moment, Zheng Xirong sent a telegram, and he provided very useful information. Takahashi informed him that starting tomorrow morning, each regiment of the 32nd Division will go to the arsenal to receive weapons and equipment.
Xu Dalong thought this was an excellent opportunity, so he decided to change the battle plan.
The reason why he made such a decision was that a Japanese infantry brigade was stationed near the Japanese arsenal. The Japanese arsenal itself also had a squadron of guard troops, and the Japanese army's defenses were extremely strict, and the walls had been re-established. After construction, in addition to the turrets at the four corners, a parapet was built on the wall. There was an electric grid on the wall of the arsenal, and two searchlights were installed.
It is difficult for Xu Dalong and others to approach even at night. If they want to take over the arsenal, they may have to attack by force. Doing so is extremely risky and may even lead to failure. Xu Dalong decided to take the risk of launching a raid at night. This was also a helpless move. He had to destroy the enemy's arsenal before the Japanese army could receive this batch of weapons and ammunition.
Now that the situation has changed, Xu Dalong decided to pretend to be a Japanese army unit receiving weapons and ammunition tomorrow morning, and enter the arsenal before the Japanese army came to collect weapons and ammunition, catching the Japanese army off guard.
Not only that, with this whole night, the Mawushan guerrillas were able to quickly gather their troops and arrive outside Lingao City in time. After Xu Dalong and others seized the arsenal, they were fully capable of blocking and annihilating the Japanese infantry brigade near the arsenal.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram back to Zheng Xirong, asking him to notify Takahashi Bingwei and try to get the relevant certificates for receiving weapons and ammunition. It does not need to be the latest one, it is OK to get the expired ones. Wang Jinke will use tonight to forge new ones.
These things are easy for Takahashi Bei. As the associate staff officer of the Logistics Section, he can enter and exit the various departments of the Logistics Section at will. Soon he got a invalid receipt for receiving weapons and ammunition and gave it to Zheng Xirong.
That night Xu Dalong and others could only spend the night in the wild.
Due to a light rain during the day, the humidity in the mountains and fields was extremely heavy, making it very uncomfortable to be wet. Late at night, the temperature began to drop. When the cool breeze blew, Lin Xueying couldn't help but sneeze.
In order to avoid exposing the target, no fire could be made at night. Xu Dalong was worried that Lin Xueying's body could not bear it, so he took out his military blanket and draped it on Lin Xueying's body.
Lin Xueying enjoyed Xu Dalong's care for her very much. She did not decline or say thank you, she just smiled sweetly at Xu Dalong.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, Sun Desheng led the cavalry troops over, and Xu Dalong and others followed Sun Desheng to the road two kilometers away. The Mawushan guerrilla convoy has arrived here.
In order to disguise the Japanese army, the guerrillas specially set aside some vehicles, maintaining the original appearance of Japanese military trucks, with Japanese plaster flags placed on the fronts of the trucks.
Xu Dalong and others took these vehicles and disguised themselves as Japanese troops and headed to the arsenal.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment came over in military trucks.
Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others exchanged views with Xu Dalong. The troops of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, as well as the cavalry troops led by Sun Desheng, immediately began to take action. They would use the darkness before dawn to ambush around the Japanese arsenal to counter Xu Dalong and others. human actions.
Since there were not so many vehicles, Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade and the Independent Brigade were traveling on foot, and were still about nine hours away from Lingao City. After the battle in the arsenal started, they were temporarily unable to participate in the battle. In order to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of the 358th Brigade and the Independent Travel Army Group, Cui Zhenyue's tank troops were divided into two teams, serving as forwards and rearguards to cover the safety of the 358th Brigade and the Independent Brigade. Therefore, they could not arrive in time to participate in the battle that was about to begin at the arsenal.
The so-called plan cannot keep up with changes, which is a very helpless thing.
At 8:10 in the morning, the convoy of the Japanese 81st Regiment heading to the ammunition depot to collect weapons and ammunition was about to set off. The duty staff officer in the combat duty room received a call from the direction of the arsenal, saying that the arsenal had a temporary power outage yesterday afternoon and was preparing to leave the warehouse. The weapons and ammunition have not been counted yet. The supplies will be counted this morning and the 81st Wing will come over to collect the weapons and ammunition this afternoon.
The logistics chief of the 81st Wing was very dissatisfied with this. He said: "Those guys in the arsenal are all a bunch of bastards! They are usually so arrogant and procrastinate in doing things. It is really disgusting."
The squadron leader of the transportation squadron echoed: "Your Excellency, the unit chief, is right. Every time we go to collect weapons, ammunition and supplies, we have to look at the faces of those guys, as if the things in the warehouse belong to them. Yes. If you don’t give them a smile and say nice things, you will be made things difficult for them. They are really a bunch of bastards!”
The head of the logistics department said angrily: "Since we can't go in the morning, let's go back and rest first."
The call received by the 81st Regiment was from Xu Dalong and others. They already knew the timetable for the Japanese army to receive weapons and ammunition from Takahashi Bei, and they wanted to pretend to be the Japanese 81st Regiment and go to the arsenal.
The Japanese army's arsenal has been strengthened since it was attacked before. Before entering the arsenal, you must first pass through the Japanese army's bunker. There is a Japanese squad here and a checkpoint has been set up. They must first check the people heading to the arsenal. Vehicles and personnel are inspected.
At 9:10, the Japanese soldiers at the weapons depot checkpoint saw a convoy approaching. The Japanese soldiers stopped the convoy and asked to check their documents.
A Japanese soldier sitting in the first car first showed his ID. After inspection, the Japanese soldiers asked for proof of receiving supplies from the arsenal.
Japanese Army Shaozuo took out the relevant certificates from his wallet and handed them to the Japanese soldiers.
After checking and confirming that everything was correct, the Japanese soldiers waved to let them go, and several Japanese soldiers moved the roadblock to the roadside.
The convoy passed the checkpoint and continued on to the arsenal.
There is also a Japanese bunker in front of the gate of the arsenal, and a wooden sentry box opposite the bunker.
Seeing the convoy coming, the sentry in the guard box came out to check the Japanese soldier Shaozuo's ID and proof of entering the warehouse, and conducted a brief interrogation.
The Japanese soldier Shao Zuo answered fluently, and the Japanese soldier did not have any questions, so he returned to his post and notified the people in the warehouse by phone.
The warehouse door was electric. With a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, and the convoy drove in.
The Japanese soldier Shao Zuo was pretended to be Xu Dalong, and the Japanese soldiers on the truck were all dressed up as members of the special operations squadron. They have their bullets loaded and are ready to attack at any time.
After the fleet enters the warehouse, it must first pass through the office area of the warehouse. Those who come to collect supplies must first go to the office area to go through the corresponding procedures, and then they can go to the supply warehouse behind.
The warehouse office staff who had received the report came out and it was a Japanese second lieutenant.
He signaled the convoy to stop and prepared to take the Japanese officers who came to collect supplies to the office building to complete the procedures.
Xu Dalong got out of the truck. When the Japanese second lieutenant saw him, he asked with some confusion: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, are you from the 81st Regiment? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Xu Dalong said: "I am Sato Masashige, the new deputy chief of the logistics section of the 81st Wing. Our section chief Kondo Shaozuo specially sent me to familiarize himself with the situation."
The Japanese second lieutenant nodded and said, "Follow me."
Xu Dalong followed the Japanese second lieutenant into the office building. Also following Xu Dalong was a squad leader of the special operations squadron.
After entering the office building, the Japanese second lieutenant led Xu Dalong into an office on the first floor.
There was a Japanese lieutenant and a Japanese commander Cao in the office.
The Japanese second lieutenant said: "He is from the 81st Regiment receiving supplies."
The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, and subordinates must stand at attention and salute when they see their superiors. But the Japanese lieutenant was sitting there, not even raising his eyebrows. He just raised his eyes to look at Xu Dalong and others.
It's no wonder that in the army, people in the logistics department control supplies, and people in other departments rely on them. Therefore, these guys are very arrogant and don't take a young leftist seriously.
The Japanese lieutenant also raised questions when he saw Xu Dalong's face.
After Xu Dalong answered, the Japanese lieutenant was still doubtful. He grabbed the phone on the table and dialed the number of the Japanese 81st Wing. uuread a book
After the call was connected, he said: "I'm Matsuda Shinji from the logistics warehouse. Please call me to the office of the logistics section chief, Sato Shozuo."
When Xu Dalong saw it, his secret was revealed immediately. He took out the tortoise box from his waist and shot the Japanese lieutenant in the head.
The squad leader of the special operations squadron following him also fired twice, killing the Japanese second lieutenant and the Japanese commander Cao.
Then Xu Dalong and the squad leader rushed into the corridor and shot Japanese officers and soldiers when they saw them.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the special operations team members who had been prepared immediately shot at the targeted targets, then jumped out of the truck to attack the intended target.
Takahashi Biewei had already drawn a map of the area inside the Japanese warehouse for them, and Monk Wei had assigned combat tasks to each unit in advance. The team members quickly launched attack operations in accordance with the predetermined combat plan.
In order to avoid accidentally injuring the team members during the battle, they took off the tops of the Japanese military uniforms while running, revealing the underground party anti-Japanese uniforms underneath.
The Japanese officers and soldiers in the logistics warehouse usually did not carry guns. They were caught off guard and had no power to resist.
The guerrillas quickly occupied most of the Kurdistan area.
