On this day, the Chongqing office of the underground party sent a telegram saying that the Guofu government had found them and asked Xu Dalong to go to Chongqing again. There were important things that needed him to complete.
It turned out that both the Guofu government and the underground party had forged China Reserve Certificates. The economy in the Japanese-occupied areas was in severe recession, and the Japanese and puppet authorities also took measures to stop the circulation of a large number of five-yuan and ten-yuan China Reserve Certificates in the market. , and made improvements on the original basis, and the counterfeiting by Guofu and the underground party could only stop.
In order to obtain the secrets related to the newly printed China Reserve Bonds by the Japanese and puppets, they need to obtain their core secrets. In the past, Xu Dalong was in contact with Zhou Changhai. Now he only recognizes Xu Dalong, so if he wants to obtain the new version of China Reserve Bonds To find out the secret, Xu Dalong had to go to Shanghai in person.
After receiving the order, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were very happy. Every time Xu Dalong went to Chongqing, he could bring back a large amount of money, so the two of them also urged Xu Dalong to go to Chongqing quickly.
But this time Xu Dalong did not set off immediately. He always felt that there might be a problem in this matter.
After much consideration, he decided not to go to Chongqing for the time being, but to fly to the Taiyue Military Region first to report to the commander.
After listening to Xu Dalong's report, he also felt that what Xu Dalong said made sense. He thought for a while and said to Xu Dalong: "You should report this matter directly to the person in charge of the Chongqing Underground Party Office and ask for their opinions. Wait until you get clear instructions before going to Chongqing."
Following the commander's instructions, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the underground party's Chongqing office.
In the telegram, Xu Dalong analyzed the circumstances under which Guofu asked him to go to Chongqing and then to Shanghai to perform the mission.
He said: "Since the Pacific War is about to break out, once the United States participates in the war against Japan, the pressure on the Japanese military on the Guofu side will be greatly reduced, and their dependence on the underground party will also be greatly reduced. Therefore, there will be a formation between the two armies. The possibility of a breakdown in the united front is extremely high.
Under this circumstance, the Guofu government certainly did not want the underground party to get financial help from the banknotes, so this time they asked themselves to go to Chongqing. There may be a conspiracy hidden in the process. "
The matter is obvious. Zhou Changhai has obtained the warrant to go to the peak, and he has been contacted in the name of the military commander. It should be easy for the military commander to get the information related to the China Reserve Bonds from Zhou Changhai.
Even if Xu Dalong is the direct contact person, Zhou Changhai originally defected from Guofu. Guofu can find someone Zhou Changhai is familiar with and trusts to contact him. There is no need to let Xu Dalong go. After Xu Dalong gets the information, he will definitely win at least half of the benefits for the underground party. This matter obviously makes no sense.
The person in charge of the underground party originally had very rich experience in underground work, and he was also very clear about the virtues of Guofu. After Xu Dalong's analysis, he paid great attention to it and believed that what Xu Dalong said was reasonable.
Therefore, he also believed that he should not go to Chongqing for the time being and wait until he found out what the Guofu side, especially the military commander, was doing before making a decision.
The underground party's Chongqing office mobilized various connections to verify Xu Dalong's speculation. As expected, they got the news that Guofu had printed a new version of China Reserve Bonds, indicating that they had already obtained the latest information from Zhou Changhai. The secret of China Reserve Bonds.
This makes it obvious that asking Xu Dalong to go to Chongqing is a conspiracy.
The military commander's invitation to Xu Dalong to Chongqing was indeed a conspiracy this time. Guofu believes that Xu Dalong is an effective member of the underground party. They have tried to win Xu Dalong over to Guofu many times, but Xu Dalong has been decisively rejected every time. They believe that if Xu Dalong stays with the underground party, sooner or later he will pose a huge threat to Guofu.
Therefore, a decision was made to win over Xu Dalong again. If Xu Dalong is still unable to defect to Guofu, try to get rid of him.
Although the military commanders have a certain relationship with Xu Dalong, they are a spy organization of Guofu after all. It is impossible for them to ignore the orders of their superiors just for the sake of personal friendship.
Therefore, in accordance with the request of the Guofu government, they planned to use the secret of letting Xu Dalong go to Shanghai to obtain the new version of China Reserve Bank Notes as an excuse to trick Xu Dalong into coming to Chongqing, and then kidnap him on the way to use coercion and inducement. If Xu Dalong refused, If he betrays the underground party and joins the Guofu side, he can only get rid of him.
The head of Chongqing’s underground party greatly admired Xu Dalong’s extraordinary insight. He said with emotion: “Thanks to Xu Dalong’s insight, otherwise, the underground party would have lost a capable talent.”
The person in charge also realized the danger through this incident. If the Chongqing office of the underground party continues to stay in Chongqing, there is a great possibility that they will be detained by the Guofu government once they turn against them. Therefore, he submitted to his superiors for approval and decided to withdraw the underground party's Chongqing office to the anti-Japanese base area as soon as possible.
After figuring out the truth of the matter, Li Yunlong was very angry and cursed: "Those guys in Guofu are really not good at making things. They wholeheartedly cooperate with them to fight against Japan. But these guys only want to beat their own people. Sooner or later, they will have to work hard." I will take care of them."
Zhao Gang felt very lucky and said: "Captain, thank you for your cleverness. Otherwise, we would have gone to Chongqing on this trip and we would not be able to see each other in the future."
Having said this, Zhao Gang shook his head slightly. Although he was sincerely happy for Xu Dalong, he also felt that this was tantamount to losing a way of making money. It is much easier to get money from Chongqing than to seize it from the Japanese.
He felt that Xu Dalong had lost this way of making money, and the funds in the Mawushan base area might not be as abundant as before in the future.
Xu Dalong knew what Zhao Gang was thinking, and he smiled and said: "Commissioner Zheng, don't worry, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only eternal interests. These guys have been plotting for more than a day or two.
Regardless of their current behavior, sooner or later they will come to beg us again. When the time comes, I will definitely open my mouth like a lion and give them a hard blow. "
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong felt very relieved after hearing Xu Dalong's words, but they were still worried about Xu Dalong's safety.
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Dalong, I think you should stop dealing with these guys in Chongqing. We would rather not have money than let you take risks, brother."
Zhao Gang also said: "Yes, Captain, no amount of money can compare to your importance. From now on, we will stay in our base and not go anywhere."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, Commissioner Zheng, I understand your intentions. But just wait and see, sooner or later they will come to beg us."
Xu Dalong said this with absolute confidence. When the Pacific War broke out, the Americans, for their own benefit, certainly hoped that on the domestic battlefield, the underground party and the government could cooperate closely to attack the Japanese army and help the American army reduce pressure.
The American army also wanted to participate in the domestic war against Japan and also needed the help of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. The government was afraid of the Americans and had to re-strengthen cooperation with the underground party.
Xu Dalong has plenty of opportunities to rip them off again.
Considering that there will be many independent operations deep behind enemy lines in the future, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others believe that it is necessary to expand the scale of the special operations team.
After applying for the commander's approval, it was decided to expand Wei Monk's special operations squadron into a deputy regiment-level special operations brigade, which consists of a special operations brigade, a brigade headquarters, a direct team, and four special operations squadrons, with a total strength of 960 people. Monk Wei continued to serve as captain.
After the special operations brigade was established, Monk Wei led the troops to seize the time to train, improve their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and be ready to enter the future battlefield at any time.
Two months later, the first phase of special operations team training has been completed.
In order to test the combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade and increase the actual combat experience of the new team members, Xu Dalong decided to let Wei Monk take the special operations brigade to perform combat missions.
The Japanese railway garrison in the direction of Yangquan has been annihilated twice by troops from the Mawushan Military Division. In order to avoid learning from the past, the newly formed Sixth Guards Group shrunk its forces to the direction of Yangquan.
The mission given to Monk Wei by Li Yunlong and others was to eat the Japanese Sixth Guards again.
The Japanese railway garrison did not have a regiment structure and was directly under the jurisdiction of five infantry brigades, each with more than 800 people. Including the directly affiliated brigades, the total strength exceeded 5,000 people.
The total strength of the special operations brigade is less than 1,000 people. It is a very difficult task for them to eat up the Japanese railway garrison.
However, everyone believed in Monk Wei's commanding ability and the strong combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade, so they assigned them to complete this arduous task.
Of course, Xu Dalong still provided help to them. He sent Sun Desheng to lead the cavalry brigade to cut off the connection between the Japanese 110th Division and the Japanese Sixth Garrison in the direction of Yangquan, preventing Japanese reinforcements from arriving on the battlefield.
Monk Wei has followed Xu Dalong the longest over the years and has learned the most experience from him. Monk Wei has basically mastered all of Xu Dalong's tactics.
After he led the special operations brigade to the direction of Yangquan, he did not launch a full-scale attack on the Japanese railway garrison. Instead, he took advantage of the relatively dispersed nature of their stations and adopted various defeat tactics, first annihilating the two Japanese infantry brigades.
Seeing the enemy's strong fighting power, the Japanese railway garrison was forced to shrink its troops together.
This saved Monk Wei and the others trouble. Seeing that the main force of the Japanese army and the three brigades were concentrated in a military camp, Monk Wei led the special operations brigade to surround the Japanese army and used the 12 240mm heavy-duty percussion weapons they carried. He fired artillery fire at the Japanese army and directly wiped out most of the Japanese army. Then he commanded the special operations brigade to launch an attack on the Japanese army and completely annihilated the Japanese army.
In this battle, Monk Wei commanded the special operations brigade. After three days and two nights of continuous fighting, they annihilated more than 5,400 people from the Japanese Sixth Railway Garrison, seized a large amount of weapons and equipment, and also seized a train full of supplies. The military ranks and the results are brilliant.
During the battle, the entire special operations brigade sacrificed 14 members, and even the wounded totaled only more than 30 people. It can be said to be an extremely brilliant victory.
After passing this actual combat test, there is no doubt about the strong combat effectiveness of the special operations brigade.
Next, they went out to perform combat missions many times, and each time they achieved major victories and brought a large amount of weapons, ammunition and property to the base area.
During this period, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong and others did not launch other combat operations. They only strengthened the internal construction and training of troops in the base area to prepare for fighting under new situations after the outbreak of the Pacific War.
The drought is finally over. In late August, heavy rains generally fell in areas affected by the drought in North China.
The victims sheltered in the Mawushan base area also began to return home one after another. Among these victims, some voluntarily stayed in the Mawushan base area, while others returned to their hometowns with the food they needed on the road provided by the Mawushan Military Division.
Because the impact of the drought has finally subsided, the Mawushan base area has returned to its previous state.
Although an unprecedented drought put tremendous pressure on the underground party, compared with Guofu and the Japanese army, the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces made great efforts to save the victims and won the heartfelt love and support of the victims. The earth has enhanced the image of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces and created favorable conditions for the future development of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces in North China.
With the help of Xu Dalong, the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column is gradually getting on the right track, and its combat effectiveness has been significantly improved. They launched offensive operations against the Japanese army many times and achieved great results.
Ma Zhenyu and the leaders of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column felt that they owed Xu Dalong a little, and they always wanted to find opportunities to express their gratitude.
That day, Ma Zhenyu sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, saying that they had captured two more coal mines controlled by the Japanese army and rescued more than 18,000 miners.
They have already mobilized among these miners, including 11,000 able-bodied miners who are willing to join the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.
The Daqingshan Guerrilla Column could not accommodate so many recruits, so they planned to send them to Xu Dalong.
Seeing that the Pacific War was about to break out, it was a good time for the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces to expand their armed forces. Li Yunlong and others were thinking of expanding their anti-Japanese armed forces. However, it was very difficult for the Mawushan base area to recruit so many new soldiers.
Ma Zhenyu's move was a timely help. After receiving the commander's approval, Monk Wei led the special operations brigade to bring the 11,000 miners to the Mawu Mountain base area.
After approval, the troops in the Mawushan Military Division were restored to their previous organization and expanded.
The new first brigade has six regiments, the independent brigade has five regiments, and the strength of the guerrilla brigade has also been expanded.
After reorganization, the regular troops of the Mawushan Military Region have reached more than 63,000 troops. They are well-equipped, have sufficient ammunition, and have sufficient logistics support. Their strength has reached half of the entire Taiyue Military Region.
At the end of that year, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan, and the Pacific War finally broke out.
