You Yukun returned to Chongqing with some information. Xu Dalong, Lin Zhongmin and others said goodbye to Sun Zhenhai and others, preparing to go to Yangzhou to destroy the counterfeit banknote dens there.
The Juntong Shanghai Station participated in this operation throughout the whole process, which was regarded as a great contribution and was commended by the Juntong Headquarters. Therefore, Sun Zhenhai, Li Tianxiong and others were very happy. They hosted a banquet in honor of Xu Dalong and others.
At the banquet, Sun Zhenhai said happily: "Brother Dalong, you are really a great person, and you are also very righteous. I have made a commitment to you as a brother. If you have the opportunity to come to Shanghai again in the future, you must visit me. .”
Xu Dalong said: "Stationmaster Sun, my brother's visit to Shanghai this time is all thanks to the help of your Military Command Shanghai Station. I accept this offer. If there is anything you can do for me in the future, please feel free to ask."
After the banquet, Sun Zhenhai and others arranged for them to leave Shanghai and sent someone to take them to Yangzhou.
According to the information provided by Zhou Changhai, the counterfeit banknote manufacturing base is in Yangzhou. Xu Dalong, You Yukun and others used night to sneak attack on the counterfeit banknote printing den located in the Japanese military barracks, killed the staff on site, destroyed all the machinery and equipment, and also seized the electrical boards they used to forge counterfeit banknotes.
After completing their mission, they left Yangzhou and embarked on their way back to Chongqing.
Chongqing Wangjiang Tower.
The military commander completed the task brilliantly this time, was commended by his superiors, and received a large bonus from the military commander. You Yukun, Lin Zhongmin, and Chang Yuan were also commended by their superiors for this. They were very happy and hosted a banquet in honor of Xu Dalong and others.
You Yukun said: "Brother Dalong, you are a blessed general. It is such a pleasure to work with you."
Lin Zhongmin and Chang Yuan were also very happy and expressed their hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Xu Dalong again in the future.
Since the counterfeit banknotes were highly confidential, it was inconvenient for the Guo government to come forward, so they entrusted the military commander to award Xu Dalong and the special forces members who participated in the operation 30,000 yuan.
After Xu Dalong and others completed this task, they returned to the Mawushan base area with the backup information provided by Zhou Changhai.
Zhang Wanhe heard that Xu Dalong had returned to the base area, so he flew over specially.
He said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, after research by the superiors, the task of imitating China Reserve Bonds will be left to you to complete."
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang accompanied Zhang Wanhe to the banknote printing factory and asked the technicians if they could counterfeit China Reserve Bank Notes.
After Zhao Gang's mobilization, those technicians read the relevant information and said that with their technology and existing technical equipment, they could completely counterfeit China Reserve Bonds.
After research, it was decided that the Mawushan base area would only print China Reserve Bonds with a face value of 10 yuan and 5 yuan.
A month later, the China Reserve Bank coupons exuding the scent of ink were finally printed. Zhang Wanhe rushed over again. He took the China Reserve Bank Notes and said excitedly: "With these counterfeit banknotes, our troops can go to enemy-occupied areas to purchase their supplies. Not only can they obtain a large amount of strategic supplies, but they can also A complete blow to the economy of the Japanese and puppet-controlled areas will kill two birds with one stone."
Zhao Gang was even happier. After the China Reserve Banknotes were forged, the base area could be auctioned to the Japanese-occupied area at a ratio of 1:4. Even the Jinsui Army and the Guo Army in Zhongtiao Mountain also bought counterfeit notes of China Reserve Banknotes from them.
Everyone made a fortune, and the Mawushan guerrillas received a large amount of cash. In addition to the cash handed over to the headquarters, the Mawushan base area was also able to obtain 15% of the cash. Money comes so easily, which is much better than going out to rob.
Chongqing also counterfeited China Reserve Bonds, which flowed into the enemy-occupied areas in large quantities, causing prices to skyrocket and seriously damaging the economy of the Japanese-occupied areas.
Yan Guiwu obtained a large number of China Reserve Bonds from the Mahushan base area and made a lot of money. In order to thank Xu Dalong, he helped the guerrillas purchase a large amount of salt and grain, as well as some controlled drugs.
Wang Shuhuai came to the base area every ten days, leaving behind a large amount of various materials and taking away a large number of China Reserve Bonds.
The Mawushan base area is prospering and all aspects are operating very well, but Li Yunlong feels a little uncomfortable.
Li Yunlong really couldn't help Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang with these technical matters. What he was best at was fighting. Seeing Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others busy every day, I couldn't sit still.
On this day, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao came to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang. Li Yunlong said: "Brother Dalong, Commissioner Zhao Zheng, we can't just idle here. The new recruits recruited by the army have been trained, so we can't let them idle. , If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, you still have to fight the Japanese. I am going to take the troops out to fight."
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang both knew Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao and knew that they could not sit idle. They also hoped that the troops could increase their combat effectiveness through actual combat training, so they agreed to Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao's requests.
After research, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Xu Dalong and others decided to target the Japanese railway garrison in the direction of Yangquan and attack the reinforcements of the Japanese 110th Division coming out of Yangquan.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao took the main force of the New 1st Brigade, the cavalry brigade and the chariot brigade of the Mawushan guerrillas, and spent three days eating up the Japanese railway garrison and wiping out an infantry brigade of the 110th Division. Satisfied, he returned to his base.
What Zhang Wanhe admires most now is Xu Dalong. Knowing that with Xu Dalong here, his logistics department will not be short of supplies and funds.
He had been thinking about Xu Dalong for a long time. On this day, he came to the boss and said, "Boss, I want to transfer Xu Dalong to the logistics department and let him be responsible for getting supplies for us."
The boss said: "That little guy Xu Dalong is a talent, how can he only work for your logistics department? Don't try to meddle with him, I still have a lot of work for him to do."
Zhang Wanhe also knew that his request was a bit excessive. He said it deliberately and was going to settle for the next best thing and let Xu Dalong help the logistics department deal with a batch of supplies.
He said: "Boss, you can't transfer Xu Dalong to the logistics department and ask him to help the logistics department solve some practical difficulties. Is this okay?"
The boss said: "You can discuss this matter with the Taiyue Military Region. As long as they agree, I have no objection."
With the boss's words, Zhang Wanhe felt a little confident, so he came to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters and asked Xu Dalong to temporarily come to the Logistics Department to help.
The commander sought Xu Dalong's opinion and knew that there was no big battle there at the moment, so he agreed that Xu Dalong would come to the Logistics Department and be temporarily under the jurisdiction of Zhang Wanhe.
After receiving the commander's order, Xu Dalong led the special operations squadron to the Taihang Mountain base area.
Zhang Wanhe hosted a banquet for Xu Dalong and others. He said: "Brother Dalong, the logistics pressure here at the headquarters is extremely great, but it can't be compared to the comfort of your place. I plan to open several factories to increase the income of the logistics department. I have nothing in my hands." No, we are short of equipment and technical personnel, so we need your help."
Xu Dalong said: "Mr. Zhang, I'm here just to listen to your command. Just pull out an order for whatever you want, and I'll just find a way to help you get it."
Zhang Wanhe was very happy, raised his glass and said: "Brother Dalong is so refreshing, I'd like to toast you."
The first thing Zhang Wanhe wanted to do was to build a cement factory. There are abundant raw materials for cement production in the Taihang Mountains, and the troops affiliated with the headquarters themselves need a lot of cement to build houses and strengthen defenses. People in the surrounding areas also need cement to build houses, so sales are not a problem.
Thanks to the Central Reserve Bonds, a large amount of materials can be purchased from enemy-occupied areas, and then returned to the base area to sell to the people at a lower price. The logistics department of the headquarters has also raised a large amount of funds, and is fully equipped to invest in cement plants. .
However, Zhang Wanhe has nowhere to find the relevant equipment, especially technical personnel, needed by the cement plant. He hopes Xu Dalong can help solve these problems.
He said: "Brother Dalong, I know you have great powers. Regarding hiring talents and purchasing machinery and equipment, the headquarters can pay for it, but there is no way to transport it back. It's up to you to help.
Don't worry, now that the logistics department really has some money, I will give the money to you to solve these problems. "
After finishing speaking, Zhang Wanhe looked at Xu Dalong longingly. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to pay. What he hoped most was that Xu Dalong could get it back for him for free.
According to past experience, Xu Dalong is a generous person and will not let his superiors dig into their pockets.
Sure enough, just as he expected, Xu Dalong said: "If you don't have money, don't talk about it now. Let's wait until I figure out the situation."
This was what Zhang Wanhe liked to hear the most. He said, "Brother Dalong, I know you have the ability to snatch back the people and equipment from the Japanese cement factory."
Xigu Town.
After Kong Jie's New Second Brigade was transferred back to the Taihang Mountains, the commander gave him the task of opening up a new base area in the surrounding areas of the Taiyue Military Region base area. For this purpose, the Seventh Military Division of the Taiyue Military Region was specially established, with Kong Jie serving as the commander.
On this day, he received a telegram from Xu Dalong and said happily: "Brother Dalong is coming, hurry up and prepare. I will entertain them well."
Wang Zhengwei said: "Old Kong, Brother Dalong came at the right time. Now we are sure to deal with the Japanese."
Soon after, Xu Dalong, Lin Xueying, Wei Monk and others arrived at the Seventh Army Division Headquarters and were warmly entertained by Kong Jie and others.
Xu Dalong came this time and brought Kong Jie 250,000 yuan in China Reserve Bonds, which greatly alleviated the financial difficulties that the Seventh Army Division had just established.
Kong Jie said: "Brother Dalong, you asked us to inquire about the cement factory. I have already sent people to investigate. There is a cement factory owned by the Japanese in Dongping County. As long as Dongping County is captured, the cement factory I’ll give it to you.”
Commissioner Zheng also said: "That is, as long as we kill the little devil, everything will be available.
Kong Jie and Wang Zhengwei sang in harmony, still hoping that Xu Dalong could help them conquer Dongping County.
Xu Dalong smiled secretly in his heart. He had already discovered that whether it was Zhang Wanhe, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wang Zhengwei, or Ding Wei, all of these guys were good people and could deceive others.
However, Xu Dalong's original intention was to rob the Japs' cement factory, which required killing the Japs there. He also hoped to use Kong Jie's troops to complete this task.
He said: "Captain Kong, it is my duty to fight the Japanese brothers. After dinner, we will study the battle plan."
The Japanese army in Dong'an County was the 24th Regiment of the 102nd Division, stationed in Xiaguan Town, 10km away from the county seat, and a regiment of Huang Xiejun.
After discussion, Kong Jie, Xu Dalong and others decided to adopt the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements. They first attacked the Huang Xiejun in Xiaguan Town to attract the Japanese reinforcements. Then set up an ambush on the way and destroy the enemies who come to help.
This morning, a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces suddenly appeared outside Xiaguan Town, and they launched a fierce attack on the puppet troops here.
Seeing the large number of anti-Japanese armed forces outside, the puppet army commander hurriedly called the Japanese army in Dongping County for help.
The Japanese army quickly left the county town, and the troops of the Seventh Army Division were already in full position. Seeing the Japanese army entering the ambush circle, they launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
There were about two Japanese infantry brigades that came out for reinforcements. Kong Jie's troops numbered more than 9,000 people. There was no suspense in this battle, and the Japanese reinforcements were eventually eaten.
Kong Jie was very happy and decided to strike while the iron was hot and eat the puppet troops surrounded in Xiaguan Town.
At this moment, the battalion commander who was in charge of the rearguard said: "Report to the commander that when we were ambushing the Japanese, there was a Japanese car that was lagging behind. When they saw the battle started, they turned around and ran back."
Kong Jie didn't care. He said: "If you run away, just run away. Just let him go back to announce the funeral to the little devils in the city. Let's kill the puppet troops here and deal with them later."
After Xu Dalong listened, he had a vague premonition.
He put himself in the shoes of a Japanese regiment leader and learned that the main force of the regiment had been wiped out by the enemy, leaving only an infantry brigade to defend the county. He was completely unsure and could not ask his superiors to send troops for reinforcements, because the nearest troops to them were A Japanese army has a distance of 180 kilometers, and it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive in a short time.
In this case, the Japanese army is likely to take the initiative to withdraw from the county. After the Japanese army leaves the city, one possibility is to directly join up with other Japanese troops, and another possibility is to directly attack Xigu Town, where the headquarters of the Seventh Army Division is located.
Kong Jie's main force is now here. There is only one guard company at the headquarters, and the others are all military district agencies and logistics. If the Japanese army really raided there, the losses would be serious.
Xu Dalong told Kong Jie his worries, and Kong Jie was shocked when he heard it. He said: "Brother Dalong, you are right, the little devil may really do this."
He said to Wang Zhengwei: "Commissioner Zheng, I will leave you two regiments to eat the puppet troops here. I will take the rest of the troops to Xigu Town."
At this moment, the special operations team members who stayed in Dongping County to monitor the Japanese army sent a telegram.
