"Boom, boom, boom, boom." As the aerial bombs exploded violently, the Japanese soldiers were knocked upside down and the artillery was thrown into the air. The Japanese suffered heavy casualties and were all stunned by the bombing, and the position was in chaos.
This is what Li Yunlong was waiting for. He immediately ordered: "Blow the charge horn and attack!"
"Tick tick tick tick tick." With the loud sound of the charge horn, the officers and soldiers of the new brigade, who had already had enough energy, launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
Zhang Dabiao personally led the assault battalion with more than a dozen light machine guns to clear the way in front, and rushed directly to the Japanese brigade headquarters.
When the bomber piloted by Bob was carrying out the bombing, he also noticed the enemy headquarters on the hill, so he flew towards it and dropped six aerial bombs.
After the violent explosion, the Japanese command headquarters was completely shrouded in smoke and dust.
Zhang Dabiao led the assault battalion in a fierce attack. The Japanese army was already in chaos and could not stop the assault battalion's charge.
Soon after, Zhang Dabiao and others rushed to the enemy's headquarters.
They defeated the nearby Japanese guards who were still resisting. Then he rushed forward and occupied the enemy's headquarters.
When they arrived, they found that the Japanese army's headquarters had long been destroyed, and dozens of corpses of Japanese soldiers and soldiers were lying strewn about it, most of them officers. The major general mark on the shoulder of a body that was blown into a lake of snow and flesh and was no longer identifiable showed his identity. This was the brigade commander of the fifth independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army.
Zhang Dabiao is now the chief of staff at the brigade level, and the red-tasseled sword on his back has long since been put down. He got the command knife of the Japanese brigade commander, played with it a few times, and liked it very much, so he hung it on his waist and planned to carry this knife with him from now on.
Under the fierce attack by the officers and soldiers of the New 1st Brigade, the Japanese army was defeated and fled in all directions. The new brigade achieved another great victory.
Bob and others saw that the new brigade had won the battle, so they flew away from the battlefield and returned to the Mawu Mountain base.
Li Yunlong also came to the Japanese military headquarters. Looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had been mutilated by the bombing, he said with emotion: "Brother Dalong and Political Commissar Zhao are really good friends. It costs a lot of money to send out their flying brigade." , we can’t always let them spend so much.
Zhang Dabiao, the main force of the nearby Japs has been defeated. On the way back to the base, we will not take a detour. We will go directly to Xinyi County, capture the county seat, make a fortune, and help Brother Dalong and the others seize a batch of gasoline. Store it at the temporary airport. "
Zhang Dabiao said: "Brigadier, you are right, we cannot always take advantage of Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei. After we take the county seat, we will not only collect gasoline for them, but also if we seize a lot of property from the little devils, , it would be best to give them part of the fee.”
Li Yunlong said: "That's it. Inform the troops to clean up the battlefield, and then go straight to Xinyi County."
Guancheng County.
Li Yunlong sent a telegram to express his gratitude to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang, saying that they had won a great victory this time, captured Xinyi County, and seized a lot of gasoline, which had been transported to the airstrip in Taihang Mountain. We have also prepared 10,000 yuan and have sent people to deliver it.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Lao Li, I used to see him taking advantage of others, but now he is more generous. It's really rare."
Zhao Gang said this unintentionally, but Kong Jie felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it.
His New Second Brigade also benefited greatly. Apart from helping the guerrillas fight, they really did not give any financial feedback to the guerrillas.
He secretly thought in his heart that if he had the opportunity to seize more gasoline in the future, it would be better to seize some more money and return part of it to Xu Dalong and the others, so as to make his face brighter.
Li Changshui has been at the Mawushan base during this period, and he also knows that it is not easy for Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang to support such a large organization and army, especially when the air force is deployed, the consumption is really too great.
He was very considerate of Xu Dalong and the others, so he said: "Brother Dalong, Commissioner Zhao Zheng, it is really not easy for you to maintain such a large air force. I am going to suggest to the commander that if any troops in the military region request to be dispatched again in the future, Air Force, preferably approved by the commander. What do you think?"
Xu Dalong knew that Li Changshui had good intentions. Otherwise, every underground anti-Japanese armed force would ask the Mawushan guerrillas to dispatch air force support, and the guerrillas' financial and material resources would simply not be able to bear it.
He said: "Minister Li, thank you for your consideration. We are embarrassed to speak about this matter, so please report it to the commander. Any future deployment of the air force requires the commander's personal approval.
However, Commander Li and Commander Kong are both our old leaders. Whenever the new 1st and 2nd brigades are needed, we can provide air support at any time without asking the commander. "
Kong Jie was greatly moved when he heard this. He said sincerely: "Brother Dalong, Zhao Zhengwei, you are worthy of being an old brother from the Independent Regiment. There is really nothing to say about this friendship. What use do you have to the New Second Brigade?" Yes, just keep your words, no matter whether it is a sea of swords or fire, I, Lao Kong, will never say no."
Li Changshui actually reported the proposal on using the air force to the commander. The commander issued orders to all units in the Taiyue Military Region, asking them to seize gasoline during combat and transport it to the Taihang Mountain airstrip for storage, so as to reduce the burden on the Mawu Mountain guerrillas as much as possible.
Wang Sanqiang stayed with Xu Dalong for a while before receiving his official appointment. Xu Dalong took as much time as possible to teach him through words and deeds, and he learned a lot.
After he was officially appointed as the captain of the Ping'an County Brigade, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others personally attended the founding meeting of the Ping'an County Brigade to cheer for Wang Sanqiang.
Not only that, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang respectively spoke at the county brigade cadre meeting, asking all cadres to respect and support Wang Sanqiang. This laid a good foundation for Wang Sanqiang to lead the county brigade.
The Ping'an County Brigade was formally established, with a brigade headquarters, directly affiliated teams, and nine squadrons, totaling more than 1,800 people. With 26 artillery pieces of various types and more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, its strength is no less than that of a regular regiment.
After Wang Sanqiang took office, he trained troops and directed the militia teams of villages in Ping'an County to dig tunnels. He started out in tunnel warfare and has unique experience in this area. With his strong support, the work of digging tunnels in Ping'an County began with great vigor.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang attach great importance to the role of tunnels. They know that the existing anti-Japanese armed forces in the Mawushan base area alone cannot cope with the attack of the Japanese army. If the three counties belonging to the Mawushan base area can establish a tunnel network, it will play a vital role in crushing the Japanese and puppet attacks.
In order to encourage people to dig tunnels, the Mawushan guerrillas also announced a policy that all people involved in digging tunnels will be counted and reported by each village based on their workload, and the guerrillas will uniformly pay wages.
This is the slack season for farmers, and the villagers have no other income. They can earn a certain amount of economic income by digging tunnels, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of the villagers. The construction of the tunnel network in the base area is progressing with each passing day.
Qiuzi Village.
After Wang Sanqiang left Qiuzi Village, Li Mancang took over the position of militia captain. Today, the militia team in Qiuzi Village has 21 people. They have a radio station, a mortar, three light machine guns, three submachine guns, and a 38-inch cover and shell gun. They are quite powerful.
The militia team in Qiuzi Village benefited from the tunnel battle. While they continued to improve the village's tunnel system, they dug tunnels toward enemy-occupied areas. Based on the tunnel with the original exit in the cemetery, we continued to dig forward, and finally dug the tunnel under the Liuzhuang stronghold in Yangcheng County.
That night, Li Mancang quietly dug up the last layer of soil on the ground. When he looked out, he found that the tunnel entrance was dug behind the bungalow. It was a blind spot and could not be seen by the sentry on the top of the turret.
Li Mancang listened carefully for a while and heard that there was no movement in the enemy's stronghold. Knowing that the Japanese and puppet troops were already asleep, he decided to launch a surprise attack.
After discussing with the militiamen, he quietly climbed out of the tunnel. Some of the militiamen went to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in the bungalow. Li Mancang himself led a few militiamen to get under the blockhouse and got into the blockhouse.
The Japanese and puppet troops never dreamed that the enemy would suddenly appear in the gun tower. They were defenseless and were sleeping soundly, but they were caught off guard by the militiamen.
In less than five minutes, the militia team of Qiuzi Village killed 13 Japanese soldiers and more than 30 puppet troops in the stronghold, and seized all weapons and ammunition as well as a large amount of living supplies.
Li Mancang was also a very smart man, and he did not destroy this stronghold. After taking away what could be taken away, the tunnel entrance was disguised. He would wait until the Japanese and puppet troops came to occupy this stronghold again, and then find an opportunity to sneak attack on them.
The major victory achieved by the Qiuzi Village militia this time once again caused a sensation among the militia organizations in the villages in the Mawushan base area.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang also seized the opportunity to praise the militia of Qiuzi Village and called on the militia in the entire base area to learn from the militia of Qiuzi Village, which greatly inspired the fighting will of the villagers' militia.
There is Wangkuai Village at the junction of Yinping County and Yangcheng County. The village militia also dug tunnels to the side of the road. They attacked the passing Japanese troops twice in a row and achieved a major victory in wiping out more than 40 enemy soldiers. victory.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang also commended the militia team in Wangkuai Village and gave them many rewards.
Inspired by this series of events, the militiamen in each village were eager to fight, especially those in the villages on the edge of the base area. They actively attacked the enemy and achieved many results.
The militia teams in places far away from the borders of the base area could not fight, so they joined forces with the militia teams in the villages on the edge of the base area to fight. Their numbers increased, and the scale of the battles became larger. The puppet troops were frightened by the news and evacuated one after another. As a result, the scope of the base area expanded a lot. '
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang were very pleased. With so many militia teams with combat experience, coupled with a complete tunnel system, they could contain a large number of Japanese and puppet troops in future anti-mopping operations and greatly reduce the pressure on the guerrillas.
On this day, General Fu from Zhongtiao Mountain sent a telegram, saying that the Japanese army was launching a massive attack on them. He hoped that Xu Dalong could send the air force to support them, and Xu Dalong agreed.
Zhao Gang was very active on this matter, because the Mawushan guerrillas had already reached a tacit understanding with the Guojun troops. Every time the guerrillas dispatched air force to support their operations, they would pay the cost and give an extra reward. This is now one of the main ways for the Mawushan guerrillas to make money. Zhao Gang is very enthusiastic about this matter and wishes that people would often come to ask for air force support.
After receiving General Fu's telegram, he immediately went to the airport in person to arrange air support.
The flying group led by Bob also likes to receive such missions the most. Every time they complete a mission, they can get a large reward. Not only the pilots who participated in the battle, but also the ground crew, everyone participates.
The guerrillas were generous with their money, and they were often able to send large sums of money back to the United States, allowing their families to live a better life. After many pilots in the United States heard about this incident, the trustees found the family records of Bob and others and asked if the guerrillas wanted more people.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang do not have the strength to expand the air force for the time being, which makes Bob a little regretful. However, Xu Dalong told Bob that he should pay attention to these air force talents in the United States. After penicillin is developed, there will be a lot of money by then, and even a large-scale air force can afford it, and it will definitely expand its recruitment by then. of.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
This morning, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui, Lin Xueying, Zheng Xirong, Wei Monk and some special forces members were hovering in the sky on a transport plane. They were doing parachuting training.
These days, Li Changshui and others have received skydiving training on the ground, and today is their first time to conduct skydiving.
The airport runway is wide and flat, making it a good venue for parachute training.
Bob drove the transport plane to hover over the airport at a predetermined altitude.
Among the people on the transport plane, Monk Wei and two team members had already conducted several parachuting trainings before and had some experience, so they took the lead in jumping.
Next it was Lin Xueying's turn. Xu Dalong asked with concern: "Xueying, how do you feel?"
Lin Xueying looked a little pale. Although she had received various professional trainings during her time in the military, she had no experience in parachuting. Looking down from the transport plane, she felt dizzy. However, she is a strong and brave girl who will not shrink from difficulties.
She bit her lip lightly, shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Xu Dalong repeated the essentials of skydiving to her with concern, encouraged her, and said: "Xueying, I believe in you."
Lin Xueying smiled sweetly when she heard Xu Dalong's heart-warming words, with a blush on her fair cheeks.
She nodded slightly and said, "Captain, don't worry." After saying that, she walked to the cabin door.
Xu Dalong stood next to her, checked her equipment again, and said, "After completing the skydiving training, I'll treat you to hot pot."
Lin Xueying was very happy and relaxed further. She took a deep breath and jumped bravely.
To be honest, Li Changshui and Zheng Xirong were a little scared when they skydived for the first time. But they saw that Lin Xueying was very brave, and they certainly couldn't lose face, so the two of them jumped in one after another.
Next came the other special operations team members. When these young men saw their leader and Lin Xueying jumping down, they filed out one after another not to be outdone.
Xu Dalong watched the people who jumped off the plane in the air. He was very nervous and worried that something would go wrong.
When he saw that every skydiver had a parachute floating above his head, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
On this day, Xu Dalong received a telegram from Peiping. The special operations team sent by the special operations squadron to find Chuanrong's relatives, with the help of Li Xiucheng, found Chuanrong's relatives, but they were out before they arrived. An accident.
Xu Dalong decided to take action personally, so together with Li Changshui, Lin Xueying, and Wei Monk, he led the special operations squadron to Beiping City.
Before leaving, Monk Wei came to see Na Chuanrong and told him the whole story. Na Chuanrong, who had always been calm, became excited and asked to go to Peking with Monk Wei.
