Just after Wang Sanqiang finished his report, Xu Dalong made a special speech. He said: "The militiamen of Qiuzi Village performed very well this time. They only had 11 people, and they were able to use the tunnels to defeat an infantry brigade of the Japanese army. Killing dozens of Japanese soldiers is really an amazing achievement. On behalf of the Mawushan guerrillas, I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to the heroic Qiuzi Village militia!"
Xu Dalong's words aroused warm applause from the crowd in the audience.
Wang Sanqiang admired Xu Dalong very much and felt even more excited and proud to receive personal praise from the captain.
Xu Dalong continued: "In view of the outstanding performance of the Qiuzi Village Army, the Mawushan guerrillas specially rewarded them with a 60mm mortar and a Czech light machine gun. All the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army they captured were also used by their village army. , and give them a special reward of two hundred yuan."
After Xu Dalong finished speaking, Wang Sanqiang came on stage again and presented the awards to the Qiuzi Village Army in public. Representatives of the militia teams from other villages cast envious glances at Wang Sanqiang.
Next, Xu Dalong specifically emphasized the importance of tunnels based on the achievements of the Qiuzi Village Army, and called on the militiamen in each village to learn from Wang Sanqiang and the others. After returning, they would continue to dig deeper tunnels, improve the combat and defense functions of the tunnels, and rely on the tunnels. and mobile and flexible guerrilla tactics to defend their hometown.
The conference not only commended the heroes who emerged in combat, but also commended the model figures who emerged in other aspects. Representatives of these model figures also came to the stage to speak.
At this time, a female representative came to the stage to speak. When Xu Dalong saw her, he couldn't help laughing.
He turned to look at Li Yunlong sitting next to him, and saw that Li Yunlong's facial expression was also very exciting.
Xu Dalong quietly said to Zhao Gang: "Commissioner Zheng, do you still remember her?"
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Isn't this the landlord of the house where Lao Li was recuperating in Ping'an County? I didn't expect that she is also a model supporter."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This is not the point. Look at our group leader again."
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and saw Li Yunlong looking intently at Li Xiuqin on the stage with an appreciative expression.
Zhao Gang was still a little confused. He asked, "What's wrong with Lao Li? Is there anything going on with this Li Xiuqin?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Yes, it is very likely that the director of the Women's Rescue Society will come to find you after the meeting."
Zhao Gang felt even more strange and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Don't worry, you will know when the time comes."
Sure enough, after the commendation meeting, Zhao Gang saw that Li Xiuqin did not leave with the other representatives, but stood in the audience. When he saw Li Yunlong, he came up to say hello.
Li Yunlong had already noticed Li Xiuqin and said happily: "Miss Xiuqin, you are not simple, you have become a model for frontline support."
Li Xiuqin smiled and said: "Old Li, it's not that you taught me well, I didn't do anything. I just did what I could to help the team fight."
The district leader who came with her said: "Miss Xiuqin is really not simple. The county brigade was fighting against the Japs. As the captain of the stretcher team, Miss Xiuqin saved several brothers from the county brigade from the battlefield by herself. The leaders of the county brigade are all applauding her."
Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Miss Xiuqin is really amazing. This time I will stay in the county for two more days, and I will treat you to mutton steamed buns."
Li Xiuqin said happily: "Then I'm welcome, Lao Li."
Li Yunlong and Li Xiuqin were chatting enthusiastically there, calling each other affectionately "Lao Li" and "Miss Xiuqin".
Zhao Gang laughed when he saw it.
He now somewhat understood the meaning of what Xu Dalong said.
He walked forward, greeted Li Qiuqin, and said, "Miss Xiuqin, thanks to you for taking care of Lao Li. He is now much better. I have to let him treat you properly."
After speaking, he ordered: "Wang Xiaohu, notify the guest house to arrange accommodation for Miss Xiuqin and the people who come with her, and entertain them well. Don't neglect it."
Wang Xiaohu said: "Don't worry, Commissioner Zheng, I promise to make arrangements."
At this time, it was almost noon, and Li Yunlong really invited Li Xiuqin to a restaurant.
Zhao Gang looked at the backs of Li Yunlong and Li Xiuqin and asked, "Captain, are Old Li and Miss Xiuqin getting close?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "It's almost the same."
Zhao Gang asked curiously: "It seems that you have known it for a long time. How did you know it?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commissioner Zhao, it seems that you are a bit unqualified as Commissioner Zheng. Our team leader has grown up, and we should have solved our personal problems long ago. You, an old partner, don't care about it."
Zhao Gang said: "Why don't you care? I have asked Lao Li before and introduced him to partners several times. He always said he didn't care. Unexpectedly, he found him himself. Unexpectedly, he was injured, but it turned out to be a success. Good thing. Eh? You said Miss Xiuqin would come to me if something happened, why would she come to me? "
In the original script, Li Yunlong hugged Li Xiuqin, but later he was undecided whether he should be responsible for her. As a result, Li Xiuqin complained to Commissioner Zheng Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang made Li Yunlong responsible. Later, Li Yunlong married Li Xiuqin.
Xu Dalong originally thought that Li Xiuqin came to Guancheng County to complain to Zhao Gang. Seeing the closeness between Li Yunlong and Li Xiuqin, I'm afraid this drama will not happen.
He smiled and said: "Of course we are discussing the marriage with Lao Li. I said that you, the Zheng Committee, are somewhat unqualified. Ordinarily, you should take the initiative to help the group leader in this matter."
Zhao Gang nodded and smiled: "What you said makes sense. I will talk to Lao Li later. If the matter between him and Miss Xiuqin is settled, I will arrange a wedding for him."
Lingao City.
Chiba Xunyi led a large group of troops back to Lingao City. Although he failed to capture the Mawushan base this time, he was still in a good mood.
In the past battles with Xu Dalong, the 32nd garrison division all suffered a disastrous defeat. Although some men and horses were lost this time, it was almost insignificant compared with before. Not only that, the Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun under his command once captured Yinping County, so this time Yoshio Shinozuka did not blame Chiba Xunichi, and even praised him a few words.
Chiba Xunyi was in a good mood, so he called Yan Guiwu, praised him highly, and invited Yan Guiwu to have lunch with him.
Yan Guiwu was very happy and took the opportunity to ask Qianye Xunyi for supplements.
Qianye Xunyi was very generous. He first replenished weapons and ammunition for Yan Guiwu, and also rewarded Huang Xiejun's fourth division with an additional 50,000 yuan.
At this time, Chiba Xunyi trusted Yan Guiwu very much and told him without hesitation the Japanese army's next plan to raid the Mawushan base area.
Yan Guiwu was in a very good mood. With his hands behind his back, he walked back to the headquarters of Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division while humming a tune.
He called Wang Shuhuai and asked him to go to Guancheng County in person to inform Xu Dalong of the Japanese army's next action plan. He also took out the 20,000 yuan that Qianye Xunyi had rewarded him and asked Wang Shuhuai to give it to him. Give it to Xu Dalong and express your gratitude to him.
On the same day, Takahashi Bingwei came to the Mawushan guerrilla intelligence station and received two large yellow croakers awarded to him by Xu Dalong. At the same time, he also accepted the new task assigned to him.
Takahashi Bingwei lived up to Xu Dalong's expectations and quickly delivered an important message.
Guancheng County.
Most of the core militiamen in the Mawushan base area, independent brigades, and county brigades use domestically produced weapons. Ammunition can be purchased from the Guo Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the arsenal can also produce it on its own, which is relatively easy.
The Mawushan guerrillas use a full set of Japanese-style equipment, and the replenishment of ammunition mainly relies on seizures from the Japanese army.
Although the Japanese 16th Brigade was annihilated this time and some ammunition was seized, the New First and Second Brigades of the Mawushan Guerillas consumed a large amount of ammunition, which exceeded the amount captured, so they both needed to be replenished. Although there is part of the inventory in the Mawushan base area, which can complete the replenishment of these three troops, after giving it to them, the inventory is basically exhausted and is not enough to support a major battle.
Therefore, Xu Dalong asked Takahashi Bingwei to provide relevant information on the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese army, and prepared to find opportunities to seize another batch to increase the inventory.
On this day, a telegram was sent from the intelligence station in Lingao City, saying that Takahashi Bingwei had provided important news. In order to replenish weapons and ammunition for the Japanese troops in Shanxi, the Logistics Department of the North China Front sent a military column, which will drive from Beiping to Taiyuan the day after tomorrow. It will pass through Lingao City on the way and stop briefly at the train station outside the city to replenish supplies to the 32nd garrison division. Regimental weapons and ammunition. The specific arrival time is unknown, but it will be between 2pm and 6pm tomorrow.
The war was approaching, and combat meetings were more frequent. In order to facilitate Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang specially arranged for the field hospital to set up a ward next to the headquarters conference room to facilitate Li Yunlong's participation in the meeting.
In the conference room, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wang Limin and others were listening to Zheng Xirong's situation report.
When they heard that the Japanese army would have a military column loaded with weapons and ammunition that was about to pass through Lingao City, everyone became excited. Especially Zhao Gang, after this battle, not only did the inventory under his control not increase, but most of it was taken out, which made him very distressed.
Upon hearing such good news, Zhao Gang immediately said: "It's great. We must not let this opportunity pass. Our family is almost gone. We must seize this batch of weapons and ammunition to replenish our inventory."
I really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when I’m not a family member. Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, who were familiar with him, couldn't help laughing when they saw that Zhao Gang was now being tortured by daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, and had become like a mother-in-law.
After discussion, everyone intercepted the Japanese army's columns and snatched their weapons and ammunition, and the decision to fight was made.
Li Yunlong immediately said: "Our New 1st Brigade will send troops to participate in this battle."
Kong Jie knew what Li Yunlong meant, and he must be thinking about grabbing as many weapons and ammunition as possible.
He immediately said: "Our New Second Brigade will also send troops to participate."
Wang Limin was not to be outdone and said: "Our independent brigade counts as one."
Xu Dalong understood everyone's mood and said with a smile: "We are all participating this time. The goal is not only to intercept the Japanese army and take the opportunity to fight another big battle."
Xu Dalong's words made everyone excited.
Li Yunlong asked: "Brother Dalong, you are right. We have so many troops, and they are just idle here. If we want to do something, we can do another big one."
"My Healing Game"
Kong Jie asked: "Yes, brother Dalong, tell me, what are your plans?"
…
Houma, headquarters of the Japanese Second Air Force.
The bombers captured by the Mawushan guerrillas have been causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army in recent times. Yoshio Shinozuka requested the Second Air Force to send planes to sneak attack the guerrillas' airports and destroy those bombers.
Due to the continuous attacks by Xu Dalong, the Japanese Second Air Force was forced to temporarily cancel the airports in Taiyuan City and Yucheng. The commander of the Second Air Force hated Xu Dalong deeply and had long wanted to retaliate against Xu Dalong's troops.
After receiving Yoshio Shinozuka's request, the commander of the Second Air Force formulated a combat plan to attack the Mawushan guerrilla airport.
At 6 o'clock that morning, just after dawn, the commander drove to the airport outside the city.
There are already two bombers ready to take off at the airport, and the crews are lining up at the airport, waiting to be inspected by the commander.
Since the Mawushan guerrillas captured those Japanese aircraft and caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army, the Japanese army tried every means to destroy these aircraft.
This time the Japanese 21st Brigade and the 32nd Garrison Division? When attacking the Mawushan base area, one of the orders received was to destroy the guerrilla airport and those aircraft.
Yoshio Shinozuka had also considered organizing a capable team to destroy the Mawushan guerrillas' aircraft and airport according to Xu Dalong's method of attacking Taiyuan Airport.
However, after careful argumentation, they believed that in the base areas of the underground party, the people supported the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. The underground party's organizational capabilities were very strong, and the people consciously defended the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Their vigilance It was very high, and every village had armed militiamen. It was very difficult for the Japanese army to disguise themselves and sneak in.
Yoshio Shinozuka had no other solution for the time being, so he asked the Second Air Force to solve this problem.
The Second Air Force has always wanted to retaliate against Xu Dalong and the others. However, Houma was far away from Guancheng County. The Japanese bombers were barely able to fly to the guerrillas' airport, but were unable to fly back, so the idea was abandoned.
Yifu Takayama was the squadron leader of the Japanese bomber brigade, and most of the bombers that Gao Jiu and others robbed belonged to his squadron. He had always felt very angry about this matter and had long wanted to destroy those bombers.
He had been thinking about how to do this, and finally thought of a way. However, this method has great difficulties, that is, the crew members involved in the bombing basically have no chance of returning and narrowly escape death.
Yasuo Takayama had never made up his mind, but this thought kept tumbling in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
As the news of Taohuashan guerrilla bombers bombing the Japanese army continued to spread, Takayama Yifu became more and more sad. He finally made up his mind and decided to personally fly the bomber to Guancheng County to destroy the guerrilla airport and these bombers. .
Yasuo Takayama found the captain and reported the idea to him.
The captain was very moved, thinking that he would definitely die like this, and persuaded him to change his mind. However, Yitou Takayama, who was deeply influenced by Japanese politics, was determined to sacrifice himself to complete the mission and use practical actions to show his loyalty to Tian Huang.
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the captain took him to see the commander of the Second Air Force.
The commander had actually had this idea for a long time, but the bomber only carried enough fuel for one trip, which also included the use of auxiliary fuel tanks. Therefore, after these aircraft complete their bombing mission, they will run out of fuel, and the only result is a crash. Even if the crew members of the bomber parachute to escape, they will fall into the enemy's base area, which is full of anti-Japanese armed forces. It is almost impossible for them to escape from the enemy's base area alive, which means that these people have nowhere to go. I'm back.
