The battle was about to begin. Su Xiaoyan arranged for the medical team to treat the wounded. She came over to report to Xu Dalong that the medical team was ready, and then asked: "Captain, where is Wang Xinmin now?"
Xu Dalong guessed that Wang Xinmin was probably with Shimizu Kazuo and others, but he still didn't know the specific situation.
However, in order to comfort Su Xiaoyan, he said: "I haven't seen him yet. He should still be in the clinic in Ping'an County. You don't have to worry. After this battle is over, let Wang Xinmin return to our base. From now on, you will Then we can reunite.”
Su Xiaoyan was very happy after hearing this. She saluted Xu Dalong and said, "Captain, I will go and get busy."
After Su Xiaoyan left, Xu Dalong said to the correspondent: "Send the order! When everyone sees people in plainclothes, as long as they are not resisting with guns, do not attack them. Detain them first to protect their safety."
Li Changshui asked: "Captain, we still don't know where the supplies are hidden, so you order the troops to attack. What should we do if we can't find the supplies?"
Xu Dalong said: "When things have reached this point, we have no other way. Let's kill these Japs first and find the monk who was taken away by them.
If the Japanese army finds that batch of supplies before us and we attack them, it is very likely that they will destroy the batch of supplies. If they can't find that batch of supplies, they can now be sure that the supplies are hidden in this area. This time they captured Ping'an County and included Ping'an County into our base area. From now on, this area will be our base area. If we want to Wouldn’t it be much easier to find this batch of supplies? "
Li Changshui nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, so let's do it."
Xu Dalong picked up the telescope and observed the situation again. Seeing that the troops were ready to attack, he gave the order to attack.
The battle started soon. The troops of the Japanese 32nd Division had already been frightened by the Mawushan guerrillas. The battle lasted for less than an hour. Most of the Japanese troops were annihilated. Some of them were led by the captain. , surrendered to the Mawushan guerrillas.
Xu Dalong was worried that Wang Xinmin would be harmed and ordered Monk Wei to personally lead people to find him. Soon after, Wang Xinmin was found. Seeing that he was unharmed, Xu Dalong felt relieved.
At this time, Sun Desheng came over and reported that the guerrilla fighters had killed several Japanese agents in plain clothes and captured three people, one of whom was Kazuo Shimizu, a middle-aged man in plain clothes and a monk dressed as people.
Xu Dalong followed Sun Desheng to visit these three people. Suddenly, he had an idea.
He ordered Monk Wei to put these people under the supervision of the special operations squadron, and then interrogate them separately.
In order to find out the identities of these people as soon as possible, Xu Dalong first interrogated the strong man in his thirties. What he told surprised everyone.
This man's name is Li Xiucheng, a descendant of Manqing Han Junqi. The middle-aged monk's name is Na Chuanrong, a nobleman from Manqing. He was the commander of the Qing army responsible for guarding Huangling at that time. Li Xiucheng is a member of the Na Chuanrong family. The coated slave.
After someone stole Huang Ling back then, Na Chuanrong had been staring at someone, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him. But someone had a huge army in his hands, and there were guards who were loyal to him. Chuanrong and others tried to assassinate him many times but failed.
Later, when Na Chuanrong learned that someone had obtained a large amount of arms from the King of Shanxi, he came up with the idea of seizing the arms, recruiting troops, and restoring Manqing's rule.
More than ten years ago, an engineer unit under someone buried a large number of weapons and ammunition in Cuiyun Peak. Then Chuanrong led his subordinates from the escort team to attack someone's engineering unit. After a fierce battle, they destroyed someone's engineering unit, but most of his men were also killed.
Na Chuanrong now has no helpers, and it is impossible to pull up a huge team in a short time. He knew that someone would definitely pursue the matter, so he decided to hide the weapons and ammunition and wait until he escaped someone's pursuit before looking for an opportunity to join the team.
Someone learned that his engineering unit had been attacked and a large number of arms had been lost, so he sent people to trace it vigorously.
Na Chuanrong had no choice but to hide in the temple. After the current situation continued to change, Na Chuanrong never had the chance to rally his team. Moreover, he saw that it was no longer possible to restore the rule of Manqing, so he gradually lost his former self. His ambitions continued to be hidden in the temple.
When Na Chuanrong led the people of the Ling Guards to fight against someone's engineer unit, Li Xiucheng was on guard duty outside the mountain. He did not know the specific location where the arms were hidden.
In order to protect this batch of arms, Na Chuanrong arranged for Li Xiucheng to stay in Ping'an County to help him inquire for information. As time went by, Li Xiucheng gradually integrated into local life, married a wife and had children, and lived the life of an ordinary person. Until one day, Kazuo Qingshui and his people found him, threatened him with his family, and threatened him to reveal the place where Chuanrong was hiding.
After listening to Li Xiucheng's explanation, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui finally understood why Shimizu Kazuo ran from Taiyuan City to Pingan County. It was originally to trace the whereabouts of these arms.
Xu Dalong asked Li Xiucheng if he could find where the arms were buried, and Li Xiucheng said he didn't know.
Cui Yunfeng said it was not big or small. It was easy to conceal the exit of weapons and ammunition. What's more, so many years have passed, and it is simply impossible to find traces of man-made artifacts. The only clue to this matter can be found from Na Chuanrong.
It can be seen from the scars on Chuanrong's body that the Japanese army must have interrogated him. But judging from the situation at the scene, the Japanese army never found that batch of arms.
This shows that Chuanrong is a strong-willed person, which can also be said to be a very stubborn person. It will definitely be very difficult to ask him where the arms are buried.
Xu Dalong asked Li Xiucheng in detail about Na Chuanrong's character traits and his family background so that he could have a clear target when talking to Na Chuanrong.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui interrogated Na Chuanrong alone.
Chuanrong was brought over, and Xu Dalong saw that the wounds on his body had been bandaged. He asked with concern: "Sir, does the wound on your body still hurt?"
Chuanrong didn't look at Xu Dalong. He put on a very numb look and said, "Thank you for your concern, donor. It's all right."
Hearing the tone of Chuanrong's words, Xu Dalong knew that this was a difficult bone to crack. He was not in a hurry to ask about the whereabouts of the arms, but chatted with him about daily life.
However, no matter what kind of topic Xu Dalong looked for, Na Chuanrong always looked like an old monk in meditation and would not communicate with him at all.
Xu Dalong had no choice but to take him back to Ping'an County first and slowly do his work.
Next is about how to deal with Kazuo Shimizu. Li Changshui was very interested in him and said he would take him back to the military area to interrogate him about the Japanese intelligence organization. Xu Dalong handed over Qingshui Kazuo to him.
Xu Dalong decided to return to Pingan County first. He asked Monk Wei to send a squad of special forces members to stay at Cuiyun Peak. If any Japanese troops came to Cuiyun Peak again, they would report to him in time.
Xu Dalong did not leave the large troops here because he knew it was meaningless. Even if the Japanese army came, they would not be able to find the whereabouts of the arms.
After returning to Ping'an County, Xu Dalong asked Sun Desheng to lead the troops to control the entire county, and then sent a telegram to Zhao Gang, asking him to come over and handle matters related to Ping'an County.
Although the batch of arms has not yet been found, Zhao Gang has captured another county and will build Ping'an County into a solid base in the future. This kind of harvest still makes Zhao Gang very satisfied.
In accordance with Xu Dalong's request, he led a regiment of the Independent Brigade to Ping'an County.
Su Xiaoyan was finally reunited with Wang Xinmin, and the two cried with joy.
Xu Dalong specially gave Su Xiaoyan half a month's leave to spend time with Wang Xinmin.
On this day, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others came to visit the lovers.
Xu Dalong highly praised Wang Xinmin, praising him as a civilian who, without any military training, especially special agent training, could risk his life and lurk behind the vicious and cruel Japanese invaders with just a patriotic heart. The agent provided key clues for finding this batch of important strategic materials. On behalf of the Mawushan guerrillas, he expressed his heartfelt thanks to Wang Xinmin.
Wang Xinmin is very happy. Now that Su Xiaoyan has officially joined the guerrillas, of course he also wants to work with Su Xiaoyan.
He said: "Captain, I want to sign up to join the guerrillas, please approve it."
Xu Dalong said: "Okay, I raise my hands to welcome you, but you can't join the guerrillas yet."
Su Xiaoyan was startled when she heard this. She thought Xu Dalong was going to arrange for Wang Xinmin to perform some hidden mission again, and the two of them would have to live the same fearful life again. She was a little unhappy, but she was a guerrilla after all, and she was too embarrassed to express her objection. "
Wang Xinmin asked in confusion: "Captain, why can't I join the guerrillas now?"
Regarding Wang Xinmin's matter, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang had communicated in advance. Seeing the worried look of the young lovers, Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Wang Xinmin, you should thank the captain properly. He doesn't agree with you joining the guerrillas now, it's entirely for your sake."
Su Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask: "Commissioner Zhao Zheng, what on earth is going on?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Su Xiaoyan, Wang Xinmin, you two have gone through the harsh test of struggle and are in love. Do you want to get married now?"
Wang Xinmin said excitedly: "Of course I do." After saying that, he looked expectantly at Su Xiaoyan.
Su Xiaoyan blushed with embarrassment, but nodded firmly.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "That's good. Our underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces are disciplined. If Wang Xinmin joins the guerrillas now, his level is not enough, and you two cannot get married. Therefore, the captain suggests that you two get married first. Then Wang Xinmin joined the guerrillas again, do you understand?"
After listening to Zhao Gang's words, Su Xiaoyan and Wang Xinmin understood Xu Dalong's good intentions.
The two of them felt extremely happy and so excited that they didn't know what to say. Su Xiaoyan said shyly: "Thank you, captain." After saying that, she shed tears of happiness.
Wang Xinmin's eyes also flashed with tears. He stood up and bowed to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang to thank them.
The scene in front of them made Lin Xueying and Wang Xiaohu who followed Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang very envious.
Lin Xueying looked at Xu Dalong with a pair of wonderful eyes, her eyes full of complex meanings such as appreciation and admiration. I don't know what she thought of, and her face turned slightly red.
Wang Xiaohu was extremely envious. He had been looking forward to marrying Huang Wanqiu for a long time. He remembered that the captain once said that he would find a way to help him solve this matter.
So he decided to go to Xu Dalong alone to talk about the matter when he had time.
Zhao Gang said: "There happens to be no major wars going on right now, and the base area is relatively stable. We can help Su Xiaoyan and Wang Xinmin prepare for their wedding right away."
Su Xiaoyan and Wang Xinmin once again expressed their heartfelt thanks to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang. They were highly motivated and did not miss any work while preparing for the wedding.
Due to the capture of Kazuo Shimizu and his Japanese agents, the clinic in Ping'an County was regarded as an asset of the Japanese puppets and merged into the field hospital of the Mawushan guerrillas. Wang Xinmin and Su Xiaoyan took the initiative to complete these tasks.
Na Chuanrong was invited back to Ping'an County by the guerrillas. The guerrillas just put him under house arrest and tried to take care of him in life.
However, Chuanrong's heart was ashen and he still looked like an old monk in meditation. He said nothing except eating and sleeping.
Xu Dalong was not in a hurry. He just came to visit him once a day and ordered the guerrillas to take good care of him.
Su Xiaoyan and Wang Xinmin also come here every day to help him check up.
After Li Xiucheng was rescued, Xu Dalong simply asked him some questions, sent someone to take him home to reunite with his wife and children, and arranged for him and his family to have a physical examination. They also gave them a certain living allowance and told them that the guerrillas could protect the safety of their whole family.
If you have any needs in daily life, you can directly report them to the local Zheng government department, and the guerrillas will take care of them as much as possible.
Li Xiucheng was not a fool, and of course he knew why the guerrillas took care of his family. When he was in Pingan County, he heard a lot about the Mawushan guerrillas and had a deep impression of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Coupled with the brutal persecution by the Japanese this time, he was also willing to help the guerrillas.
He offered to take the guerrillas to Beiping City to find the relatives of Chuanrong and ask them to help with the work of Chuanrong.
Although Li Xiucheng seemed a little greedy for life and fear of death because of his family, he was not an ungrateful person. At first he was forced to reveal the whereabouts of Chuanrong, but when the Japanese forced him to reveal the whereabouts of Chuanrong's relatives, he still concealed it, which was considered worthy of his former master.
Xu Dalong asked Zheng Xirong to arrange for several capable members of the intelligence squadron to follow Li Xiucheng to Beiping City to find Chuanrong's relatives.
Although Na Chuanrong was heartbroken, he was not emotionless. There was a huge difference between how the Japanese treated themselves and the guerrillas. It was not that he couldn't feel it, but it was still impossible to touch him based on these alone. Deep in his heart, he still hopes to keep this batch of arms so that he can make a comeback. In his heart, he still had the idea of restoring the past glory of his family. So he remained silent.
Xu Dalong decided to think of a way to first make Na Chuanrong speak. This is the first step to breaking the ice.
That afternoon, Xu Dalong, accompanied by Lin Xueying, came to visit Na Chuanrong again.
Xu Dalong said: "Our guerrillas have helped bury the monks who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese in the temple. Can you help perform a ritual to save their souls?"
After all, Chuanrong was a monk now. He couldn't refuse such a request, so he agreed.
Xu Dalong was very happy, so he handed over the matter to Chu Yun'er and asked Monk Wei to personally escort Chu Yun'er and Na Chuanrong to Fendong County to help Na Chuanrong perform rituals.
Chu Yun'er was very happy to be able to help Xu Dalong with his work. She knew that Xu Dalong asked her to take charge of this matter because there were some matters that required her to contact the local government, which further showed her importance. She readily agreed and escorted Chuanrong back with Monk Wei and others. Went to Fendong County.
Xu Dalong did not release the captured Japanese officers and soldiers of the 32nd Division. Instead, he temporarily imprisoned them, helped them check and treat their wounds, and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. Xu Dalong also wanted to use them to make a fuss.
Lingao City.
Chiba Xunichi received an order from Commander Yoshio Shinozuka and sent an infantry brigade to Ping'an County to accept the command of Shimizu Kazuo. He didn't know exactly what they were doing. Ping'an County is too close to the Mawu Mountain base, and he is worried that something will happen to this unit.
As he expected, none of the people sent out came back.
He asked Yan Guiwu to send someone to inquire about the news, and learned that the entire infantry brigade had been annihilated by the Mawushan guerrillas. The brigade captain and his 430 officers and soldiers were captured by the guerrillas.
Qianye Xunyi was very depressed. He knew that there would be big trouble waiting for him next.
Sure enough, an outside call came from the switchboard, saying that Xu Dalong, captain of the Mawushan guerrillas, asked Qianye Xunyi to send representatives to Ping'an County to discuss the affairs of the captured Japanese soldiers.
Qianye Xunyi had no choice but to send his adjutant to Ping'an County to ask for a meeting with Xu Dalong.
Soon, the adjutant borrowed the radio station of the Mawushan guerrillas to get in touch with Qianye Xunyi and put forward the conditions offered by Xu Dalong.
