The Japanese troops on the mountain were quickly annihilated, leaving only the Japanese squadron directly in the valley. They resisted desperately and protected the division headquarters.
Zhang Dabiao climbed up the mountain. Seeing this situation, he reached out and grabbed a grenade and threw it towards the bottom of the cliff.
When the anti-Japanese armed soldiers on the mountain saw this situation, they all threw grenades down.
Hundreds of grenades fell like raindrops. After a short time, there was no movement at the bottom of the mountain.
Zhang Dabiao was very excited and took the lead in rushing down. He saw the corpses of high-ranking Japanese officials lying scattered under the cliff.
He said excitedly: "Hahaha, I caught a big fish!"
He first grabbed Fujiwara Kinichi's command sword with the cherry blossoms carved on it, pulled it out, admired it, and said, "What a great sword." He was holding a major general's command sword from the Japanese army, and the one in front of him was Compared with this command knife, the grade is much lower.
This guy likes the new and hates the old. He used to regard the major general's command knife as a treasure. Now that he had this new command knife, he immediately disliked the old one and handed it directly to the regimental commander beside him, saying: "This knife It's yours."
The regiment leader took over the command knife with a happy face and thanked him repeatedly.
Zhang Dabiao didn't seem to hear it, and was still admiring his new trophy excitedly.
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army received a telegram stating that the Japanese 140th Division and the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade sent for reinforcements had encountered resistance from anti-Japanese armed forces on the way and were temporarily unable to join the Japanese 108th Division.
He sent a telegram to Fujiwara Konichi, hoping that he could persist a little longer and wait until reinforcements arrived.
However, after the telegram was sent, there was no reply.
The chief of staff of the First Army believed that the 108th Division had a large force and strong combat effectiveness, and could not be annihilated by the enemy in such a short period of time. He thought that there might be a communication problem, so he ordered the radio station to continuously communicate with Fujiwara Kon. Contact was made but he never heard back.
The 108th Division has many radio stations. Even if the radio station around Fujiwara Konichi has a problem, it is impossible for so many other radio stations to have problems at the same time.
The only explanation given by the Chief of Staff of the First Army is that the 108th Division no longer exists.
The chief of staff knew that the battle to siege the Mawushan base area had completely failed. In order to prevent other Japanese troops from being besieged by the enemy, he sent telegrams to the 32nd, 110th and 140th garrison divisions. , ordering them to leave the battlefield immediately and return to their original station.
Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei had received a report from Xu Dalong that the Japanese 108th Division had been annihilated. They knew that the Japanese army could no longer hold on and would retreat soon, so they prepared an attack in advance. Prepare.
When they learned that the Japanese army had left their forward positions and began to retreat, they immediately ordered their troops to launch an aggressive attack on the Japanese army.
The Japanese army had no intention of fighting and retreated hastily. The officers and soldiers of the anti-Japanese armed forces pursued and fought hard, annihilating many Japanese troops.
So far, the anti-mopping operations in the Mawushan base have been a complete victory. The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the Mawushan base have annihilated more than 36,000 Japanese troops and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment. It can be said that they have achieved a brilliant victory. However, this battle was very brutal. The Mawushan guerrillas suffered more than 400 casualties, the Independent Brigade suffered more than 1,100 casualties, the New First Brigade suffered more than 900 casualties, the New Second Brigade suffered more than 1,400 casualties, and several county brigades suffered more than 600 casualties. Chu Yunfei's 358 Brigade suffered more than 2,200 casualties, and the anti-Japanese armed forces suffered a total loss of nearly 10,000 people. Xinhe County, Juma County, Yinping County, and many villages within the base area were also destroyed, and the economic losses were also very serious. , it will take a long time and a lot of money to restore it to its previous state.
In any case, the Mawushan base achieved this glorious victory, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army and greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese army and people.
After this battle, the Japanese army stopped attacking throughout Shanxi and went into rest and recuperation.
Headquarters.
The Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on the Taihang Mountain base area. The base areas were constantly lost, and bad news continued to reach the headquarters. The chief of staff looked at the arrow on the map in the direction of the Japanese attack, which continued to extend forward. He felt deeply worried.
On this day, a telegram was suddenly sent from the front, saying that the Japanese army suddenly stopped attacking. Not only that, they also withdrew from some of the base areas they had occupied and returned to the original defense area.
The head of the headquarters felt puzzled and didn't understand what was going on, so he sent telegrams to various ministries and asked them to report what they learned.
The situation reported by the Taihang Mountain Base Area and the Luliang Mountain Base Area was similar to the previous one. There were no new changes. They just knew that the Japanese army had withdrawn across the board.
Representative Wang from the World War II District Governor's Office had no news, but they reported to the headquarters that the Japanese troops attacking Zhongtiao Mountain and southeastern Shanxi had also fully retreated.
The only ones who have no news at present are Xu Dalong and the others.
The boss said with some confusion: "Did something big happen to Xu Dalong and the others? Send someone to contact them quickly."
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters. The commander finally received the long-awaited news. The telegram was jointly sent by Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wang Limin and others.
After reading the telegram, the commander laughed and said, "Xu Dalong and the others are really good."
He immediately ordered his horses to be prepared and went to the headquarters to report to the boss.
After listening to the commander's report, the boss laughed loudly and said: "I asked why the little Japs suddenly retreated. It turned out that it was Xu Dalong and his gang who hurt the Japanese army, forcing the little Japs to give up their battle plan. .”
"Okay." The chief of staff said excitedly: "The 30,000 troops from the Mawushan base area and the coalition forces repelled the Japanese attack of 100,000 troops, wiped out more than 30,000 Japanese troops, and captured dozens of Japanese aircraft. This is It’s really an amazing victory.”
The anti-mopping up campaign in the Mawushan base area was successfully concluded. Congratulatory messages were sent from all parties. Celebrations were also held in the base area. A commendation meeting was also held to commend the heroic collectives and individuals who emerged in this anti-mopping up campaign. Overall, It is said that everyone is happy.
But Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang were not happy. In this anti-mopping operation, the base area also suffered great losses, and the consumption of materials was particularly serious. The gasoline and ammunition stored in front of the station were basically consumed, and even the raw materials stored in the arsenal were basically consumed. The base area will also spend a large amount of money to reward meritorious personnel who participated in the war and help the people rebuild their destroyed houses.
This suddenly wiped out the family wealth in the base area. It can be said that after years of hard work, we returned to before liberation overnight.
Zhao Gang said with a sad face: "Captain, it's best not to fight such battles in the future. It's really unbearable."
Xu Dalong smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we want to fight, it's that the little devil doesn't like us and insists on fighting. What can we do?"
Zhao Gang said: "We have seized so many planes this time. It sounds very impressive, but we can't afford it. Let's ask our superiors for instructions and hand over half of them."
The reason why Zhao Gang made this request again was because the flying brigade was the one that consumed the most in the base area. It can be said that the consumption of the flying brigade can feed the anti-Japanese armed forces in the entire base area, including all public officials in the local Zhengfu.
Xu Dalong also thinks that what Zhao Gang said makes sense. The Mawu Guerrilla Force is just a small guerrilla force at the deputy regiment level. It is really unreasonable to support such a large air force.
He thought about it for a while and said, "Commissioner Zheng, do you think this is okay? Let's apply to the military region again and see if the superiors want it. If not, we will think of other ways."
Zhao Gang was very worried that his superiors would not agree. He said, "I think 80% of these planes can't be sent out. You might as well just say it directly, what should I do if my superiors don't agree?"
Xu Dalong said: "You should mention it to the commander first. If it doesn't work, I will naturally have a solution."
Zhao Gang did what he said and immediately drafted a telegram and gave it to Xu Dalong for review.
The two discussed the wording again, and then sent it to the commander.
As expected, the commander quickly sent a telegram back, saying that he had reported it to the headquarters. There are also practical difficulties at headquarters. The Taihang Mountain base area did not have the conditions to build an airport, and there was no way to obtain so much fuel. Therefore, it was decided that the Mawu Mountain guerrillas would manage the flying brigade.
The commander suggested that the guerrillas currently have many aircraft and if they are no longer in use, some of them can be temporarily mothballed to reduce expenses.
Zhao Gang took the telegram sent by the commander and said depressedly: "This is indeed the result. Captain, didn't you say you have a solution? Please tell me quickly, what should we do next?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "The commander asked us to handle it ourselves. This is the sword from above. I will send it out again. If it cannot be sent out, there are other ways."
Zhao Gang was confused and said, "Didn't the headquarters already tell you that if they don't want it, where else are you going to send it?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said, "I went to Chongqing anyway and got to know some people. This matter shouldn't be too difficult to handle."
Xu Dalong called Lin Xueying and asked her to send a telegram to Representative Wang of the World War II District Governor's Department, asking how to contact the Chongqing Underground Party Office.
If others asked about this matter, Representative Wang would definitely not tell him. He knew that Xu Dalong was familiar with the leaders of the Chongqing office, so he agreed that Xu Dalong would contact the Chongqing office directly.
Chongqing, underground party office.
The person in charge received the telegram from Xu Dalong and said with a smile: "Brother Xu is really good. Not only can he win the battle, but he can also solve difficulties for the organization."
He immediately sent a telegram to northern Shaanxi and reported to his superiors that Xu Dalong was about to hand over the plane.
After careful study, the superiors believed that although there was an airport in northern Shaanxi, the Japanese army often bombed northern Shaanxi, and it was unrealistic to park a large number of aircraft at the airport. They finally decided to have a transport aircraft and a reconnaissance aircraft. As long as there are two aircraft, the number of aircraft is small and easy to conceal.
After receiving the telegram from the Chongqing office, Zhao Gang said depressedly: "Captain, is this what you want? This won't solve the problem at all."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I had expected this. This is just a foreshadowing. Let the leaders know our difficulties, and the next things will be easier to handle."
Zhao Gang asked in confusion: "What do you mean it's easy to handle?"
Xu Dalong said, "Did the commander tell us to handle it ourselves?" Zhao Gang said, "Yes, the commander said so. But haven't we sent it out yet?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "We did not send it out. We sent it to the headquarters, but no one wanted it. People in northern Shaanxi didn't want it either. Can we handle it freely now? Let's put it this way, our guerrillas are most in need right now. What is it?"
Zhao Gang said without hesitation: "Lack of money."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "What is the most valuable thing for our guerrillas now?"
Zhao Gang thought about it and felt his eyes light up.
He said: "Captain, do you want to sell the plane?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You are right. The most valuable things here are the Japanese planes captured by Bob and the others. Fighters are worth about 20,000 oceans, and bombers are slightly more expensive and can be sold for 30,000 oceans. Even this It’s second-hand, and at a 20% discount, it’s a big fortune.”
Zhao Gang asked: "Who are you going to sell the plane to, and who is willing to pay the money?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "There are many people who want Japanese planes, and they also have a lot of money. Just wait and count the money."
After receiving the telegram from Xu Dalong, Representative Wang from the World War II Zone came to the headquarters office building of the Chief Executive's Department, met with the Chief of Staff, and promoted the Mawushan Guerrilla fighters and bombers to the Chief of Staff.
The chief of staff reported the matter to the King of Shanxi.
Before the Anti-Japanese War began, the King of Shanxi had an air force in his hands. After the war began, the planes were destroyed by the Japanese army, the airport was occupied by the Japanese, and the Jinsui Army was often bombed by the Japanese army. He had long wanted to buy another batch of airplanes, but unfortunately he had no place to buy them. He is now a little envious of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Xu Dalong has a flying brigade in his hands, which can play a big role at critical moments.
He had no way to buy a plane, and his subordinates had no ability to steal it from the Japanese, so they could only envy him. Hearing that Xu Dalong wanted to sell airplanes, he was very happy and asked his chief of staff to contact Xu Dalong. The more airplanes the better.
The chief of staff knew that Li Kun had a good relationship with Xu Dalong, so he handed the matter over to him.
Xu Dalong sold 4 fighter jets and 12 bombers to Shanxi Wang at a 20% discount, and received a total of 320,000 yuan. Among them, 120,000 yuan was handed over to Representative Wang. In addition to leaving a part for the office, they handed it over to the headquarters.
Xu Dalong sold the plane and still had to hand over so much money to the headquarters. There was nothing he could do about it. If the guerrillas monopolize it, this would be a big deal. If someone makes a fuss about this matter in the future, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang will be in trouble.
Next, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the Chongqing office, and they were responsible for selling the aircraft to Guo Jun.
What the Guojun Air Force lacks most now is aircraft, and there is also no place to buy them. They lost one less aircraft, so they had a strong desire to buy.
Xu Dalong sold them two fighter jets and eighteen bombers. Guo Jun was richer than the King of Shanxi, so he only gave them a 10% discount. The transaction sold a total of more than 500,000 yuan. In addition to what was handed over to the Chongqing office, the guerrillas received 300,000 yuan from it.
In this way, by selling airplanes, Zhao Gang suddenly had 500,000 yuan in his hands. His waist straightened immediately and his face was filled with smiles.
