But Xu Dalong did not dare to take rash action, so he came to the door. He explained to Saburo Ishii that he would be responsible for knocking on the door, while the others were lurking beside them.
Bang bang bang! There was a knock on the door, but there was no light on inside, just the sound of someone talking.
It looked like the people inside were alert, and someone asked, "Who's knocking on the door?"
Ishii Saburo said: "It's me, Communications Section Chief Ishii Saburo."
The person inside did not open the door immediately. He asked with some confusion: "Chief Ishii, what are you doing here? Who asked you to come?"
Ichiro Saburo said: "The section chief sent me here. I have something important to inform you."
The person inside was still a little worried, and he said, "I want to call the section chief and ask."
Saburo Ishii said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, is not at home on urgent business. We are on a mission together. He sent me over on the way. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask."
While Saburo Ishii was talking to the people inside and attracting his attention, Xu Dalong had already walked around to the back of the house. He saw lights on in two rooms, so he looked in through the window slit. I saw that one room was empty, and there was a person lying in the other room. That person was listening to what was going on outside.
Xu Dalong took out a Browning pistol with a silencer and prepared for the attack.
At the gate, Saburo Ishii heard footsteps coming over. It was obvious that the guy went to call, but no one answered in the room of the super high school section chief. He believed Saburo Ishii's words, so he opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Monk Wei who was hiding by the door rushed in and killed the guy with one knife. The guy still screamed before he died.
Xu Dalong heard the cry and saw the man in the room reaching for the gun. He immediately thrust his pistol forward, shattering the glass, and fired twice at the guard inside, killing him.
Xu Dalong and others searched the downstairs and only saw these two guards, so they walked upstairs along the stairs.
At this moment, a figure appeared on the stairs and asked in Japanese: "What happened?"
Xu Dalong raised his hand and shot him to death, then quickly rushed forward.
He was worried that there were other guards. They were simply taking risks. If the gun went off, they would be in trouble.
Fortunately, there were only three guards here. Although they made some noise, they didn't make much noise.
There are several rooms upstairs, and Xu Dalong and others have heard the noise coming from inside.
In order to prevent them from being frightened and screaming, Lin Xueying said: "Don't be afraid, we are friends of Chuanrong and are here to save you."
The people inside were silent for a while.
Lin Xueying said patiently: "We are from Shanxi, and it was Na Chuanrong who entrusted us to rescue you."
At this time, the lights in the room turned on, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman who still had charm came out. There was also a middle-aged man about 50 years old in the room.
They saw Lin Xueying in Japanese military uniform, and also saw Xu Dalong and others behind her. Their faces were pale and they were obviously frightened.
Lin Xueying took off the hat on her head and said: "Don't be afraid, we are all Chinese, friends of Chuanrong, who disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers to save you. Do you know Li Xiucheng, right? He also came after a while. You can see him."
Hearing Lin Xueying mention Li Xiucheng's name, the two people in the room obviously believed it.
The woman asked: "Where is Chuanrong now?"
Lin Xueying said: "He is in Shanxi now."
The man came forward and wanted to ask something else.
Xu Dalong said: "It's almost dawn now. We must leave here quickly and get out of the city as soon as possible. Time is too tight. If we have anything to say, we can talk about it on the way."
The couple looked at each other, and the woman said, "Wait a moment, I'll wake up my daughter."
At this moment, the door of the next room opened, and a young girl came out. She had already put on her clothes and said, "Mom, I have heard it. Let's go quickly."
Everyone got out of the door and got on the truck, driving directly towards the city gate.
It was 6:45 when they arrived at the city gate, and the city gate could not be opened until 7:00, so they could only wait patiently.
At this moment, everyone's hearts were tightly clenched together. They were very worried that during this period, someone in the Military Police Headquarters would find something went wrong in the dormitory of the Super High School Section Chief, and they were also worried that someone would discover something unexpected happened in the Japanese Community. .
No matter where the problem goes, the Japanese army will definitely implement martial law and they will not be able to leave Peiping City.
Time passed minute by minute. Fifteen minutes was so short in normal times, but now it felt so long. Every second seemed like a whole day had passed, and every minute was like a year.
Peking Military Police Headquarters.
Fukuhara Hidenaga, the head of the Special High School Operations Section, is a master of swordsmanship. He practices swordsmanship every morning when he wakes up. What surprised him was that the super high school section chief Koizumi Jiro, who had the same hobby as him, did not come out this morning. Usually, the two of them practice sword practice together and also compete.
He didn't know what was going on with Jiro Koizumi, so he practiced alone. After practicing for a while, he suddenly felt that something was not normal, because even if Koizumi Jiro had something to do this morning and he didn't come out, his orderly would come out and tell him.
He guessed that maybe Koizumi Jiro was sick and might need his help, so he walked over, and when he got to the door, he said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, is there anything I can do for you?"
Fukuhara Hideuchang called several times, but no one responded, so he tried to push the door open, but it turned out that the door was open.
As soon as he entered, he felt something was wrong. It was too quiet inside. He realized the danger, held the command knife tightly, and walked in cautiously.
Soon he discovered the body of the orderly, and then he discovered that Jiro Koizumi was also missing.
Fukuhara Hidenaga immediately grabbed the phone on the table, but the phone cord had been disconnected.
He hurriedly ran out of Koizumi Jiro's dormitory and shouted: "Come here quickly, something happened to the section chief."
While shouting, he ran back to his dormitory, grabbed the phone and reported to the duty room of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, asking the duty officer to ask for instructions from his superiors. The entire city was under martial law and a search was launched.
At 7 o'clock sharp, several Japanese soldiers walked to the gate, pulled out the thick bolt on the gate, and the four of them pushed the gate open together.
Xu Dalong and others hurriedly drove to the gate. A Japanese soldier walked towards them, ready to check their documents.
At this moment, the phone rang in the guard box next to the gate. A Japanese soldier went to answer the phone.
Saburo Ishii, who was sitting in the cab of the truck, saw a Japanese soldier approaching and showed his ID. When the Japanese soldiers saw that there was no problem, they were ready to let them go.
Suddenly, the Japanese soldier who answered the phone shouted loudly: "Don't let us go. Our superiors have ordered us to close the city gate immediately. No one is allowed to leave the city."
Xu Dalong realized the danger, raised his hand and shot the Japanese soldier in front of him with one shot, and said: "Get out of the city quickly."
Zheng Xirong stepped on the accelerator, and the truck suddenly rushed out.
Monk Wei and others sitting in the carriage were already ready for battle. When they heard the gunshots coming from the front, they immediately opened fire fiercely at the Japanese soldiers next to the gate.
The Japanese soldiers in the wing room heard the gunshots outside and ran out one after another, chasing the truck and firing guns.
A special operations team member fired at them with a light machine gun and knocked down several Japanese soldiers. The other soldiers did not dare to pursue them and hurriedly called their superiors to report.
Shortly after Xu Dalong and others left the city, they saw the trucks of the special operations team members guarding the roadside.
Monk Wei jumped out of the truck, and Xu Dalong and others continued to move forward.
After Monk Wei got out of the car, he mounted his horse and led the special operations team members to follow the truck for a distance, and then hid in a small forest on the roadside.
The Japanese army responded very quickly. Within ten minutes, six motorcycles and three trucks full of Japanese soldiers drove out of the city gate and gave chase.
Seeing the Japanese troops arriving at the ambush circle, Monk Wei picked up a light machine gun and fired at the motorcycle at the front. The other guerrillas also opened fire together, and a dozen light machine guns spit out tongues of fire fiercely. In addition, other team members also held rifles and fired at the Japanese troops.
The driver of the first motorcycle was shot dead, the motorcycle fell to the ground, and the fuel tank of the second motorcycle was hit. A fire started immediately. Several other motorcycles were also beaten up and down. The cabs of the three Japanese military vehicles behind them were focused by the snipers of the special operations team. The glass of the cabs of the three cars were shattered, and the car lost control. One After driving off the road, another car hit the car of the one parked in front.
The enemy's target was the escaping military truck. They never dreamed that there would be so many enemy troops ambushing here. They were caught off guard. The rapid mobile troops sent by the Japanese army totaled only about a hundred people. Under the attack of two hundred special forces members, they were unable to fight back. Most of them were wiped out before they even got off the vehicle.
Monk Wei was definitely a ruthless man. While he ordered his troops to continue attacking the enemy with firepower, he also sent a detachment to outflank the enemy from the rear. In a short time, the Japanese army was completely annihilated.
Monk Wei and others took the time to clean up the battlefield, confiscated the weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese army, set fire to all the vehicles, and then chased Xu Dalong and others.
Half an hour later, a large group of Japanese troops arrived at the location where the rapid mobile force was attacked. All they saw were corpses of Japanese troops and burning vehicles. The scene in front of them horrified the Japanese troops. At this time, they had lost track of the enemy and did not know where to pursue.
The commander of the Japanese army had no choice but to send people back to the city to report. The Central China Front Army Headquarters notified the Japanese troops in the surrounding areas and intercepted the attackers.
Xu Dalong and others drove forward in a military truck for seven or eight kilometers. They met several special forces members who had been waiting there. They had already prepared a civilian truck. Xu Dalong and others changed vehicles. After turning onto a side road, the military truck continued to drive along the road, which played a role in confusing the enemy.
Monk Wei and others also followed the military truck. They continued along the road to cover the safe evacuation of Xu Dalong and others.
Monk Wei and others escorted the military truck and passed several villages and a town along the way. When passing the town, they fought with the puppet troops here.
The special forces team defeated the puppet army. After passing the town, they reached the fork in the road and turned northwest. They moved forward for another seven or eight kilometers, then abandoned the truck, made a circle, and turned southwest. direction, to meet up with Xu Dalong and others.
The living puppet soldiers in the town notified the Japanese army in Beiping City by phone, and the Japanese army mobilized troops to encircle them in the direction where Wei Monk and others left. When the Japanese army saw the burning military vehicle abandoned by Wei Monk and others, When the truck arrived, Monk Wei and others had quickly jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong and others were traveling along a country road toward Baoding. In the car, Na Chuanrong and his sister's family finally met after fourteen years. They hugged each other and cried, telling how they missed each other after parting.
After their emotions gradually calmed down, Na Chuanrong said: "Captain Xu, thank you for saving our family. When we return to Ping'an County, I will definitely take you to find the batch of arms."
On the way, Li Changshui made contact with the local anti-Japanese armed forces in the Jizhong Military Region. Soon after, they met the troops from the Second Military Division of the Central Hebei Military Region and escorted them into the base area.
Xu Dalong and others arrived at the location of the Second Military Division Headquarters of the Jizhong Military Region and were warmly received by the leaders of the military division.
Yu Zhanhe, commander of the military division, is also a veteran cadre who has participated in regular military expeditions. He is only 28 years old this year and has served in the army for 12 years. He also attended the Anti-Japanese University and is a young cadre trained by superior leaders.
He was very interested in Xu Dalong, but also a little unconvinced. He felt that the achievements of Xu Dalong mentioned in the superior's report were somewhat exaggerated. He really couldn't imagine that Danzi, a recruit with less than two years of military service, could achieve such great results.
It has to be said that the designation of Mawushan Guerrillas is still very confusing. Although the headquarters has issued many reports praising the Mawushan Guerrillas, it did not mention the true strength of the Mawushan Guerrillas in the battle reports. In people's minds, the guerrillas are at the county brigade level at best.
Yu Zhanhe asked: "Brother Dalong, what level is your guerrilla force at?"
Xu Dalong said: "Deputy regiment level."
Yu Zhanhe is the commander of the military division, at the brigade level. The military division has two regiments, each with more than a thousand people, and five county brigades, each with four to five hundred people. He is relatively powerful among the various divisions of the Jizhong Military Region.
He heard that Xu Dalong was only at the deputy regiment level, so he inevitably felt some contempt in his heart, and he also looked down upon the strength of the Mawushan guerrillas.
He said with a hint of arrogance: "Xiao Xu, the strength of your guerrillas is less than a regiment, how can you possibly annihilate a Japanese brigade?"
Xu Dalong said: "We guerrillas alone cannot do it. The battles we fight are all fought in cooperation with friendly forces."
Yu Zhanhe said: "Let me tell you, with your small guerrilla force, I'm afraid it will be difficult for even an infantry brigade of the Japanese army to deal with it."
Xu Dalong smiled faintly and did not answer his words.
Zheng Xirong felt very uncomfortable when he saw the demeanor and tone of Yu Zhanhe's words. But the captain didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything.
Li Changshui felt a little unhappy when he saw Xu Dalong being slighted, but since he had a higher level of self-cultivation, he naturally wouldn't say anything about these things.
In any case, Xu Zhanhe and others were quite enthusiastic towards Xu Dalong and others. They set up a banquet to entertain Xu Dalong and others.
During the banquet, Yu Zhanhe talked about his experience in a condescending manner, saying that his superiors trusted him very much and only gave him one battalion of troops. After several years of hard work, the Jizhong Military Region was established Second Military Division. Now that he has such a big fortune, he is very proud.
Other leaders in the military division are also proud of their achievements.
Xu Dalong and others were guests from afar. They listened to what others said and fully affirmed and praised the development and growth of the Second Military Division.
The leaders of the military division were very happy and reassured Xu Dalong and Li Changshui, saying that the Second Military Division would send troops to send Xu Dalong and others across the Japanese blockade.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Monk Wei and others got rid of the Japanese and puppet troops' pursuit and entered the station of the Second Army Division.
When Yu Zhanhe and others heard that the Mawushan guerrilla troops were coming, they followed them out to see what the level of the guerrillas was.
The leaders of the Second Army Division, Xu Dalong and others walked out of the headquarters compound and saw the cavalry troops outside the compound. This cavalry unit only has 200 people, but it has more than a dozen light machine guns and six mortars. Each person carries a long gun, some of them carry sniper rifles, and the others are all 38-year-olds. Each person also has a shell gun on his waist, and everyone above the squad leader wears binoculars and is also equipped with a radio.
Their equipment level made the leaders of the Second Military Division very envious.
However, Yu Zhanhe still disagreed, thinking that Xu Dalong and others brought the best equipment of the guerrillas in order to carry out their mission.
When Monk Wei saw Xu Dalong and others approaching, he dismounted, came to Xu Dalong, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Report to the captain, the special operations squadron has completed the cover mission, no casualties, and returned to the team safely. Please give instructions. Special Operations Squadron leader Wei Dayong."
Monk Wei's standard military posture and standardized report alone changed the impression of the military division leaders that the Mawushan guerrillas were just an ordinary guerrilla group.
Xu Dalong returned the military salute and said, "How many weapons and ammunition were seized?"
Monk Wei said: "We have been marching on the road and there is no statistics yet."
Xu Dalong said: "Bring them all over."
Monk Wei turned around and gave the order, and soon the guerrillas brought over the captured weapons and ammunition and placed them in the open space.
This batch of weapons was piled on the ground. There was a Type 92 heavy machine gun, seven or eight light machine guns, more than a hundred 38 guns, and grenade launchers.
The leaders of the Second Army Division couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they saw that so many weapons and ammunition had been seized without any casualties. With such combat effectiveness, the troops of the Second Military Division are really incomparable to others. When the leaders saw these weapons and ammunition on the ground, they were all very jealous, wishing that their own troops had captured them.
Xu Dalong said: "Commanders, thank you for your warm hospitality. These weapons and ammunition are a little bit of our kindness, and we hope you will accept them."
