In order to make it easier for the new troops to find him, the Japanese captain also asked his soldiers to use flashlights and surround him.
With the help of the other party's flashlight, Xu Dalong could see a Japanese officer standing there, and guessed that they were there to greet him, so he ran over with his team.
Seeing Xu Dalong and others running over, the Japanese captain stepped forward to meet him. Just as he was about to speak, the Japanese officer leading the team across from him suddenly shouted: "Fire!" Then the Japanese captain was hit on the head. gun, killed on the spot.
The team coming from the opposite side quickly dispersed and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
At this time, most of the Japanese troops had their backs to the Eighth Route Army brought by Xu Dalong. They had no time to react and were caught off guard, resulting in heavy casualties.
The special operations team members and the officers and soldiers of the first regiment fought fiercely. The Japanese army could not organize effective resistance at all, and the battle continued one-sided.
After Xu Dalong gave the order to fire, the communicator behind him fired three red flares into the sky.
Ma Chao saw the signal flare and immediately ordered the communicators around him to blow the charge horn. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Division jumped up from their defensive positions, holding sharp bayonets, shouting loudly, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.
The Japanese fast-moving troops were completely stunned, and with the death of their commander, they quickly collapsed.
The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army fought fiercely. If they could not see clearly at night, the Japanese army's fast mobile troops would have been completely wiped out.
After more than 20 minutes of fighting, most of the Japanese rapid mobile troops were wiped out, and a few broke up and fled.
Ma Chao and the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Division really did not expect to eat another reinforced infantry brigade of the Japanese army in such a short period of time.
Such results have never been achieved before. They were extremely excited and rushed to seize the loot. Even Gao Changwu didn't care about his face, holding the captured machine gun like a child and giggling there.
Xu Dalong left a certain amount of time for the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Division to seize the loot.
He looked at his watch. When 15 minutes were up, he said to Gao Changwu: "Gather the troops immediately. Evacuate quickly."
Gao Changwu was leading his troops to make a fortune. After hearing Xu Dalong's order, he was really reluctant to leave. Due to the darkness, all the seizures must not have been obtained. It was really difficult to let him leave like this.
However, he still carried out Xu Dalong's order and asked the signal corps to blow the trumpet and ordered the troops to assemble immediately.
The troops of the Fifth Army Division quickly gathered together. Xu Dalong ordered Wei Monk to lead the special operations squadron to clear the way ahead. He and Ma Chao led a large group of troops to follow closely and follow the predetermined retreat route to the base of the Fifth Army Division.
During the retreat, they encountered a unit of the puppet Peace Army. Monk Wei and his special forces members charged and defeated these puppet troops. From then on, they did not encounter any interception by the Japanese and puppet troops and entered smoothly. The base area of the Fifth Military Division.
After returning to the station, Ma Chao arranged for Xu Dalong and others to rest. He and the leaders of the Fifth Army Division were not tired at all. They were all very excited and inspected tonight's capture.
This time the Fifth Army Division made a fortune. Attacked the Japanese airport, killed two Japanese infantry brigades, and strengthened their artillery units. A total of six 92 infantry guns, six 70mm mortars, fourteen 60mm mortars, and grenades were captured. 12, four Type 92 heavy machine guns, 21 crooked machine guns, more than 1,700 Type 38 rifles, more than 240 other guns, and a large amount of ammunition.
This is a gain that the Fifth Army Division has never had before. It can be said that the weapons and equipment seized this time have more firepower than all the equipment of all the units in the original Fifth Army Division.
"I've made a fortune, I've made a fortune." Ma Chao and the leaders of the Fifth Military Division were extremely excited. After counting the weapons and ammunition, they returned to the dormitory with satisfaction.
Still couldn't sleep, and I was confused for a while until it was almost dawn. They were so sleepy that they didn't even eat breakfast.
At noon, the leaders of the Fifth Army Division regained their composure and ordered a banquet to be held in honor of Xu Dalong and his special forces members.
At the banquet, Ma Chao said sincerely: "Captain Xu, it's such a pleasure to fight with you. I'd like to propose a toast to you, and do it first." After saying that, he drank the wine in the cup.
The leaders of the military division toasted Xu Dalong and others one after another, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very warm.
Ma Chao and others were afraid that Xu Dalong and the others would say goodbye and leave now. They talked about some situations of the Fifth Military Division, saying that the military division had only been established for a short time and lacked experience. They hoped that Xu Dalong could stay for a few more days to provide guidance. Xu Dalong agreed to the request of Ma Chao and others and decided to stay here for another week.
Ma Chao and others know that time is precious and hope to learn more knowledge from Xu Dalong.
After the banquet, they invited Xu Dalong to the conference room.
According to prior discussions, the chief of staff of the Fifth Military Division introduced the situation of the Fifth Military Division to Xu Dalong in detail.
Ma Chao asked Xu Dalong to provide comprehensive guidance on the work here. Xu Dalong was not polite and introduced to them some experience in the construction of the Mawu Mountain base area.
Ma Chao and others listened with great interest, taking notes with their notebooks while listening, for fear of missing something.
In the next two days, Xu Dalong trained cadres above the company level for the Fifth Army Division. Monk Wei also led the special operations squadron to conduct a tactical performance, which opened the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army Division and amazed them.
In order to improve the actual combat level of the Fifth Army Division troops, Xu Dalong decided to take them to fight again.
In Yucheng, Bob and the pilots drove the snatched Japanese aircraft and landed at the airport outside the city one after another.
Ever since he discovered that the Eighth Route Army was active outside the city, Qianye Xunyi had been on tenterhooks, fearing that the Eighth Route Army would come to attack the city.
After waiting for several hours, the Eighth Route Army outside the city showed no sign of attacking the city.
He felt more at ease and began to have time to ponder the Eighth Route Army's intentions in coming to Yucheng. He and the chief of staff analyzed and analyzed, but they couldn't figure out what the Eighth Route Army outside the city was going to do. When they heard the roar of airplanes in the sky, they were frightened so much that they were worried that the enemy would come to bomb them.
But after waiting for a long time, the enemy bombing did not happen.
The chief of staff stood by the window of his office, opened the window, and listened to what was going on outside.
He said with some confusion: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, something seems wrong. The direction of the plane's flight is from the northeast. What are Xu Dalong's planes going to do? Is there any more important target over there than our Yucheng? ?”
Qianye Xunyi was also very confused. He thought and thought hard, but he just couldn't figure it out.
He said: "Whatever. As long as they don't bomb us."
The chief of staff asked: "Should we report what happened here in Yucheng to the First Army Headquarters?"
Qianye Xunyi shook his head and said: "One more thing is worse than one less thing. What if something really happens and we report it to our superiors and they ask us to send troops out of the city?"
The chief of staff nodded and said: "Your Excellency, the division commander, is wise. You are right. We don't need to look for trouble."
Kong Jie and Sun Desheng stood beside the airport runway and were very happy to watch a large number of military planes landing.
Sun Desheng laughed and said: "Hahahahaha! The captain and the others succeeded again, and this time they made a fortune."
Kong Jie was also happy, but he had some regrets. This time, he used the main force of the military division, plus the county brigade and recruited migrant workers, and marched long distances to get here. A lot of manpower and material resources were spent on the road, but no benefits were gained.
This deal is really not a good deal. Although he believed that Xu Dalong would never let his work go in vain and would definitely compensate the Sixth Army Division, it would not be as good as grabbing it directly to make people feel happier.
When Bob and others filled up the tank, left Yucheng Airport and flew to the Mawu Mountain base, Kong Jie said to Sun Desheng, "Sun Desheng, I want to discuss something with you."
Sun Desheng said: "Commander, you are my old commander. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."
Kong Jie said: "We finally got here, are we going back empty-handed? How about we fight him together and make some money."
Sun Desheng smiled and said: "No problem. Just say it, I will obey your orders no matter how you beat me."
Kong Jie had already thought about it and said: "There are too many Japanese in Yucheng and there are strong walls. We can't conquer Yucheng.
Let's turn a corner and walk an extra dozen kilometers. There is Fengning County. With our strength, we can win a county seat. Make a fortune. "
Sun Desheng was not very familiar with the terrain in this area, so he asked: "Which army does the Japs in that county belong to?"
Kong Jie said: "This is the Japs guarding the 32nd Division. I have already sent people to conduct reconnaissance. There is an infantry brigade of the Japs there. If a battle begins, within three hours, there will be at most one infantry brigade in front of them." Come support.”
Sun Desheng said: "That's what we do."
Kong Jie was very excited and immediately gathered his troops and headed for Fengning County with Sun Desheng's cavalry brigade.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others received a telegram from Xu Dalong, saying that the Japanese army had captured Baoding Airport, robbed a number of military aircraft, and were flying to the Mawushan base area to prepare for their response.
Everyone was very excited. Even though it was late at night, they were not tired at all. They came to the airport one after another to welcome the warriors who returned in triumph.
At dawn, the roar of planes was heard in the sky, and many people had gathered at the airport. Hearing the roar of the aircraft engine in the air, the crowd became excited and shouted: "Come on, come on, the captain and the others are back."
Bob and others saw from a distance in the air that many bonfires had been lit on the airport runway, marking the runway.
They hovered in the air for a moment, spotted the runway, and landed one after another.
Bob was the leader and his plane was the first to land. As soon as his plane stopped, an Eighth Route Army cadre ran up to Bob and said, "Mr. Bob, Commander Li and Zhao Zhengwei are waiting for you over there. Please come with me."
Bob followed him to Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others. Li Yunlong's first words were: "How many Japanese planes have you robbed?"
Bob shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
What he said was true, because the Japanese planes flying at the airport at that time were not only the pilots he brought with him, but also the special forces members they trained. Under the circumstances, there was no time to count how many planes were flown back.
Li Yunlong looked at the planes landing at the airport and said, "Let's count them." After that, he walked over.
Zhao Gang came to Bob's side. He felt that Li Yunlong's eating appearance was really indecent. After all, Bob and the others flew back after all their hard work. They didn’t even say a word of greeting, they just focused on counting the spoils.
So he said to Bob: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Bob."
At this time, Bob was in the same mood as Li Yunlong. He was also eager to know how much he had gained from this battle. He didn't care about Li Yunlong's attitude at all. He didn't bother to answer Zhao Gang's words and only focused on stepping forward. He followed Li Yunlong forward with long strides.
Zhang Dabiao had the same mood, fearing that he would fall behind, so he followed Li Yunlong in stride.
Zhao Gang saw this, shook his head with a wry smile, and followed closely.
Li Yunlong and others first came to Bob's plane. When every plane landed behind him, they would go over to take a look and count loudly.
They were busy for more than half an hour before they counted all the captured aircraft.
This time the harvest was much greater than the last time, because the number of pilots was much greater than that time. They flew back almost all the Japanese aircraft at Baoding Airport. There were a total of 22 fighter jets, 56 bombers, two transport aircraft, and two reconnaissance aircraft. The total number of captured aircraft reached 82.
In addition, due to proper control of the airport and relatively ample time, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army still had time to load a lot of aviation equipment into the aircraft. It was really a bumper harvest.
Li Yunlong said loudly and excitedly: "Nice job, it's so exciting."
Zhang Dabiao waved his fist excitedly and shouted: "I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich, hahahaha."
Even Zhao Gang's big eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, looking like a man of wealth.
He did not express any emotion, but silently calculated how many airplanes he could sell and how many white oceans he could get back.
Bob and the pilots were also very excited. In front of their eyes, all the colorful rice dollars flashed.
These American guys have made a lot of money in the Mawushan base area in the past few days. Now they have surpassed the ordinary middle class in the United States and entered the ranks of the small rich.
