The troops in the Second Military Division were very short of weapons and ammunition, and even their main regiment did not have a gun for each person. This batch of weapons and ammunition was a windfall for the Second Military Division, and the leaders were all beaming.
Yu Zhanhe is a man who cares about face. He originally looked down on Xu Dalong's guerrillas and was a bit worried about his face, but the temptation of this batch of weapons and ammunition was too great for him to refuse.
He smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Dalong, it is better to obey your orders than to be respectful, then we will accept it."
At this moment, the duty officer from the headquarters hurriedly walked in and said nervously: "Report to the commander, the Japanese army is launching a massive attack on our base area, and the forwards have entered the base area."
After hearing the news, everyone became a little nervous.
Yu Zhanhe asked: "How many Japs are there?"
The guard on duty said there was an infantry brigade.
Hearing that so many Japanese soldiers had arrived, the leaders of the military division became increasingly nervous.
The chief of staff of the military division said: "Why did so many Japanese come suddenly? Could it be..."
He did not say any more, but looked at Monk Wei.
Xu Dalong, Monk Wei, Li Changshui and others all heard it. What he meant was that Monk Wei and others entered the base area and attracted the little Japs here.
The Japanese came with an infantry brigade, which put great pressure on the Second Army Division. Although they have the main force of two regiments, it is still very difficult to hold up an infantry brigade of the Japanese army.
However, Yu Zhanhe was a strong general after all. He did not hesitate and said immediately: "Well done, little devils." Immediately assemble the first and second regiments to stop the enemy. At the same time, he ordered the county brigades to move closer to the battlefield and resolutely Defeat the enemy's attack."
At this time, Xu Dalong said: "Commander, don't be so troublesome. Just leave it to us to solve it."
Yu Zhanhe was unhappy when he heard this and said: "You are guests from afar, and there are only so many people. How can we let you take risks? Don't worry, we will definitely repel the enemy's attack and ensure your safety." "
Xu Dalong said: "Commander, we appreciate your kindness. The little devils are here for us. Leave this matter to us."
He said to Monk Wei: "Monk, I leave this matter to you, go and kill those little devils."
Monk Wei said: "Yes, Captain."
After saying that, he said to the guerrillas: "Everyone mount up." He got on his horse and led the members of the special operations squadron to gallop away.
Yu Zhanhe was anxious. After all, he was the master of this place, so how could he let Xu Dalong and the others take risks.
He said: "Brother Xu, you only have a squadron of 200 people. The little devil has more than a thousand people in an infantry brigade. Isn't this reckless? Let's go and fight."
After saying that, he shouted: "Chief of Staff, gather the troops quickly."
At this time, Li Changshui said: "Commander, don't worry, the little devils only have one infantry brigade, and they are no match for the special operations squadron. If you are willing to help, then set up a banquet and wait until the brothers from the special operations squadron come back. Just give them a treat.”
Yu Zhanhe and the leaders of the military division were all in disbelief, but Li Changshui was a superior leader. Although everyone was still a little skeptical of his words, they believed that he would not lie.
Yu Zhanhe was still a little worried. He said: "Chief of Staff, take the guard company with you and go up and have a look. If the guerrilla brothers need help, send someone back to report quickly."
The chief of staff said: "I understand." After saying that, he gathered the guard company of the military division and chased in the direction where Wei Monk and others set out.
Afterwards, everyone continued to chat. Xu Dalong and others were chatting and laughing happily, without any hint of nervousness.
Yu Zhanhe and others felt uneasy, worried that something had happened to the guerrillas here, and they would not be able to explain it to their superiors.
About two and a half hours later, the chief of staff of the military division called from the front. Yu Zhanhe answered the phone anxiously and asked eagerly: "Have the little devils been repulsed? Brothers of the guerrillas." Are you okay?"
The excited voice of the chief of staff came over the phone. He said: "Commander, it's incredible. The guerrilla brothers are so powerful. The little devils are no match for them at all. This infantry brigade has been completely defeated by the guerrillas." The brothers were eaten."
"What? Say it again." Yu Zhanhe asked in disbelief.
The chief of staff repeated: "The entire infantry brigade of the Japs was wiped out."
Upon hearing the news, the leaders of the Second Military Division were in disbelief.
Yu Zhanhe couldn't turn his mind around and said, "Is this possible? You're not wrong, are you?"
The chief of staff said: "I watched the whole battle process. The guerrilla brothers' tactics were really high. The little devils were completely passive and were beaten. The officers and soldiers of the guard company had already counted them and killed them in total. 1026 Japs. Absolutely true."
Yu Zhanhe was silent for a moment and asked: "How many brothers are left in the guerrillas?" He thought that if so many Japs could be eaten, the casualties of the guerrillas must also be huge, and there might not be a few left.
The chief of staff said with emotion: "You may not believe it. The guerrilla brothers killed so many Japanese soldiers and suffered a total of fifteen casualties. Only two of them died. It's really incredible."
After Yu Zhanhe put down the phone, he shook his head vigorously. He still couldn't believe the news, but it was all true.
He couldn't help but start to look at Xu Dalong again, not knowing why his troops were so powerful.
He said in a respectful tone: "Captain, what kind of force is your guerrilla army? It has such strong combat effectiveness. Can you introduce it to us in detail?"
Xu Dalong smiled slightly and was about to say something modest when Li Changshui spoke.
He knew that Xu Dalong did not seek fame, and Li Changshui himself was not a show-off person, but Li Changshui was not willing to let the leaders of the Second Army Division underestimate the strength of the Mawushan guerrillas, so he introduced the details of the Mawushan guerrillas. Read it again.
The leaders of the Second Army Division heard that although the Mawushan Guerrilla Force was only a deputy regiment-level guerrilla force, it actually had an independent brigade under its jurisdiction, as well as a flying brigade, a tank brigade, a cavalry brigade, an artillery brigade, an infantry brigade, etc., with equipment. Excellent and well-trained, with tens of thousands of troops, even the Renjia County Brigade is stronger than the Second Military Division.
The leaders of the Second Military Division couldn't help being surprised, and their mouths opened wide. They really couldn't understand why Xu Dalong was only a deputy regimental-level guerrilla captain.
When Yu Zhanhe raised his question, Li Changshui said: "The reason Captain Xu concealed the strength of the guerrillas was to hide his strength and specifically deceive the little devils."
Yu Zhanhe said sincerely: "This trick is really powerful. Not to mention the little devils, even we were deceived. Ashamed, ashamed! Captain Xu, you are really amazing."
Soon after, Monk Wei and others returned, and Xu Dalong and others went outside to greet them again.
Seeing the mountains of weapons and ammunition seized from the Japanese army on the ground, Xu Dalong said: "Thank you to the brothers in the Second Army Division for your warm hospitality. Please accept these weapons and ammunition."
When the leaders of the Second Army Division saw so many weapons and ammunition on the ground, they originally hoped that Xu Dalong would give them to them, because they heard that Xu Dalong's guerrillas were so powerful that they should not care about these weapons and ammunition. But they are different here. If they can have these weapons and ammunition, the strength of the Second Army Division will definitely be greatly enhanced.
Just when they were anxious and looking at Xu Dalong eagerly, they couldn't help but cheered when they heard Xu Dalong say this.
Yu Zhanhe stretched out his hands to hold Xu Dalong's hand and said, "Captain Xu, I really don't know how to thank you and the guerrilla brothers."
At this point, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and kill the pigs and sheep, take out all the good wine, and reward the brothers of the Mawushan guerrillas."
That evening, Xu Dalong and others were about to say goodbye and leave.
Yu Zhanhe and the leaders of the military division reluctantly bid farewell to Xu Dalong and others. They were very grateful to Xu Dalong and others. They originally wanted to send troops to escort them sincerely, but seeing how powerful the guerrillas were, they were too embarrassed to mention it. After they came out, they could only offer to send a guide for Xu Dalong and others to provide as much help as possible.
After Xu Dalong and others left, Yu Zhanhe said with emotion: "There is a world out there, and there are people outside the world. Captain Xu and his guerrillas are really amazing. I am going to report to my superiors and send someone to Captain Xu and his team." study."
The leaders of the military division all thought this was a good idea. After returning, they immediately drafted a report describing the activities of the Mawushan guerrillas here, and made a request to their superiors, hoping to send people to the Mawushan base area to report to the Mawushan base area. Guerrillas learn.
Soon after, the superiors gave them a reply, saying that there was a special warfare school in the Mawushan guerrillas. The superiors had applied to the headquarters for the Jizhong Military Region to select some key personnel to study at the special warfare school, and let the Second Military Division begin to select key personnel. Wait for the unified order from the Jizhong Military Region, and then go to the Mawu Mountain base together.
After receiving the notice from their superiors, the leaders of the Second Army Division were very happy. Yu Zhanhe said: "I must go there in person to learn from Brother Dalong and their experience."
Ping'an County.
After Xu Dalong and others returned to the base area, they came to Cuiyun Peak under the leadership of Na Chuanrong.
In a valley under Cuiyun Peak, there are a lot of gravel scattered under the cliff on one side. Shrubs and some weeds grow in the gaps between the gravel.
Scenes like this can be found everywhere around Cuiyun Peak. No one can imagine that just under these rocks is where the arms are buried. If it hadn't been for Na Chuanrong's guidance, you wouldn't have been able to find him no matter how many people came.
Monk Wei directed the members of the special operations squadron to clear the rubble and saw a hole about a person's height exposed inside. Everyone held flashlights and followed Chuanrong into the hole.
This is a natural cave. The entrance is not wide, but the further you go inside, the wider it becomes. Soon after, a larger cave appeared in front. The top was twenty or thirty meters high and the inside was very wide. Everyone saw countless boxes placed on the ground, and it seemed that these were the batch of arms.
Xu Dalong and others came to a pile of wooden boxes. The special operations team members came forward to pry open the boxes and saw that they were all brand-new rifles. The guns were coated with butter and were very well preserved.
There were so many boxes inside that Xu Dalong and others could not count them, so they asked the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade to move them out.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade came as a whole regiment and spent a long time removing all the weapons and ammunition inside.
Zhao Gang and Wang Xiaohu were in the valley and counted every box of weapons and ammunition they brought out. The results made everyone laugh from ear to ear.
Zhao Gang took over the final statistics from Wang Xiaohu and read excitedly: "Jin made 42 Qiwu mountain guns, 992 boxes of shells, 126 mortars, 2448 boxes of shells, 400 imitation Czech light machine guns, 79-type There are 78,400 rifles and 24.5 million rounds of various bullets. Other military supplies have yet to be counted.
Got rich, hahahaha! "
Such a large number of weapons and ammunition is really a great harvest for the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. It can improve their strength to a great extent, and everyone is very happy.
Li Changshui couldn't wait to report this great news to the commander. The commander was very happy and asked Xu Dalong to send a transport plane to the Taihang Mountain base to pick him up. He wanted to come and handle the arms in person.
Of course, Xu Dalong would not forget Na Chuanrong's contribution and decided to reward Na Chuanrong with 5,000 oceans. After soliciting the opinions of him and his sister's family, he arranged for her sister and brother-in-law to serve as teachers at the No. 1 Middle School in Guancheng County. Na Chuanrong himself served as the person in charge of the Zhengfu Educational Affairs Committee of Mawushan Center County, specializing in Handle matters related to religion.
According to Xu Dalong's instructions, Wang Xiaohu also arranged a spacious and clean house for Na Chuanrong's family.
Na Chuanrong's family has now lived a stable life after a long period of displacement. They expressed their heartfelt thanks to Xu Dalong and others.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Chuanrong's brother-in-law has changed his surname from the Huang family and is now named Li. Their daughter Li Yiyun joined the guerrillas and engaged in propaganda and education work.
It was Xu Dalong who made the final decision regarding Li Yiyun's arrangements, and he did it all for Zhao Gang.
Li Yiyun is young and beautiful, and comes from a noble family. Although her family has fallen into decline, it is still difficult to conceal her unique temperament. She herself is a student at Yenching University and is an alumnus of Zhao Gang. When Zhao Gang saw her for the first time, he couldn't hide his love for her.
Seeing this, Xu Dalong asked Lin Xueying to mobilize Li Yiyun to join the guerrillas, and then placed her in the propaganda department and became Zhao Gang's direct subordinate, improving understanding and creating opportunities for them.
Zhao Gang is a smart man, and he is very grateful for Xu Dalong's arrangement. He felt more and more that Xu Dalong was indeed a trustworthy comrade and good brother.
On this day, the transport plane returned from the Taihang Mountain base area to the airport in Guancheng County.
Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others went to the airport to greet them. This time not only the commander and chief of staff came, but also the headquarters logistics director Zhang Wanhe came with them.
After meeting Xu Dalong, Zhang Wanhe held his hand and said affectionately: "Brother Dalong, you are really a blessed general. With this batch of weapons and ammunition, it will be much easier for me as the logistics minister."
Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others arranged a banquet to welcome the commander, chief of staff, Zhang Wanhe and others.
This is Zhang Wanhe's first visit to the Mawushan base area. Although he is the logistics director of the headquarters, he has been following the headquarters deep in the mountains. Seeing that Xu Dalong and others were living such a happy life in the county, he said with emotion: "Brother Dalong, your life is so comfortable. After I went back, I suggested to the bosses that we might as well move the headquarters here. ”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Minister Zhang, you are kidding, how can you like such a small place? After victory, the headquarters will definitely move to big cities like Peking and Shanghai."
Zhang Wanhe was originally joking with Xu Dalong. He said: "Brother Dalong, I like to hear what you say. Sooner or later, we will be able to defeat the little devil and live a happy and beautiful life."
The commander and chief of staff were also very happy. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The next morning, in the conference room of the guerrillas, the commander, chief of staff, Zhang Wanhe, Li Changshui, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang held a meeting to study the distribution of this batch of arms.
Zhang Wanhe said: "Brother Dalong, the boss said it himself before I came here. It is all thanks to your Mawushan guerrillas that we can get so many arms. You will pick out the weapons and ammunition first, and you will pick the rest." Leave it to us to take back."
The bosses gave Xu Dalong enough face, which made Xu Dalong feel a little flattered.
He said: "Minister Zhang, Commander, thank you for the concern of the leaders. We already have enough weapons and ammunition here in Mawu Mountain. We only have twelve 75 mountain cannons and two hundred boxes of shells left. The rest of the weapons, ammunition and military supplies are all here." pay."
Xu Dalong's attitude made Zhang Wanhe and the commander very satisfied. They announced awards to the Mawushan guerrillas on behalf of the headquarters and Taiyue Military Region respectively.
After discussion, the meeting decided that Kong Jie's New Second Brigade and Mawushan guerrillas would be responsible for transporting this batch of arms to the Taihang Mountain base area.
Kong Jie is now living a very comfortable life here. He is afraid that they will be left behind in the Taihang Mountain base after completing their mission this time, so he goes to Xu Dalong and asks him to request the commander to wait until the New Second Brigade has delivered weapons and ammunition. Able to return to the Mawu Mountain base.
Xu Dalong understood his mood and hoped that a main force like the New Second Brigade would stay here, so he asked the commander to do a job.
The commander cared very much for Xu Dalong and would not refuse his request without special circumstances. He immediately agreed to Xu Dalong's request.
After Kong Jie got the affirmative answer, he felt at ease and happily led the troops to escort the weapons and ammunition to the Taihang Mountain base area.
