Zhou Mingde was also very helpless, so he reported the situation to the underground party intelligence station, the Shanxi-Sui Army intelligence station and the military command Taiyuan working group, and mobilized everyone's efforts to find the residence of the Japanese military special high school personnel, and reported the situation here to Xu Dalong made a report.
After receiving the telegram from Zhou Mingde, Xu Dalong quickly replied to him, criticizing him and asking him to notify Takahashi Bingwei and the intelligence station to immediately stop searching for the residence of the Super High Section Chief and others. Avoid exposing yourself.
As for thwarting the Japanese conspiracy, Xu Dalong himself is responsible.
Zhou Mingde accepted Xu Dalong's criticism. He knew that this was the captain's love for all those who worked underground in Taiyuan. But he did not intend to carry out Xu Dalong's order. In his mind, Li Dalong had a lofty status. For his safety, he would rather sacrifice himself than help him defeat the Japanese conspiracy.
All the efforts made by him and various intelligence stations were in vain, because the section chief of Peking Super High School had led his people to leave Taiyuan City and lurked secretly in Yucheng. Even the people guarding the 32nd Division did not know about their whereabouts.
Although Xu Dalong was unable to grasp more information about this conspiracy from the Japanese army, he did not take it to heart. He believed in the vigilance of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the base area, and was confident that he would be able to thwart the Japanese conspiracy.
Therefore, he was not affected by this incident and all work continued as usual.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang didn't think so. They were very worried about Xu Dalong's safety, so they called Monk Wei over and asked him to select the most elite soldiers of the special operations brigade to be responsible for Xu Dalong's security.
In Monk Wei's mind, Xu Dalong is the person he respects the most. Of course he does not want Xu Dalong to be harmed in any way. He is very serious about Xu Dalong's security work. As long as his superiors do not send him out to perform tasks, he will personally lead people to take charge. Xu Dalong's security work.
That morning, Lin Xueying sent a telegram from General Fu of Zhongtiaoshan, saying that the Ninth War Zone had replenished a batch of supplies for the Zhongtiaoshan Command. The transportation of this batch of supplies had to pass through the Japanese-occupied areas. She hoped that Xu Dalong was able to send someone to help escort him to the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters.
In the telegram, General Fu said that if Xu Dalong had time, he hoped that he could come to the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters in person and discuss anything with him.
So Xu Dalong took Wei Monk's special operations brigade to the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters.
After arriving at the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters, General Fu hosted a banquet in honor of Xu Dalong, Monk Wei and others.
After the banquet, Monk Wei led the special operations brigade to the 137th Division of the Fruit Army. He and his senior brother Li Zhendong went to the defense area of the 72nd Army of the Fruit Army to receive the supplies allocated to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command Headquarters from the Ninth War Zone.
Xu Dalong stayed at the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters, and General Fu explained to him the purpose of inviting him over.
The logistics support for the troops under the Zhongtiao Mountain Command was originally mainly provided by the Ninth Theater Command. Just yesterday, the Ninth Theater Command sent a telegram to General Fu saying that the Ninth Theater Command was having difficulty supplying supplies. This was provided to the Central Military Commission this year. The last batch of supplies for the Tiaoshan Command will be provided to the Zhongtiaoshan Command. The other supplies will not be provided to the Zhongtiaoshan Command until after the Spring Festival next year, depending on the situation.
It’s the end of August now, and there’s almost half a year until the Spring Festival. There are 200,000 troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the supplies in front of them alone cannot support that time.
General Fu sent a telegram to protest, but the Ninth War Zone said that the current situation was like this, and asked the Zhongtiao Mountain Command to try not to launch offensive campaigns against the Japanese army and reduce the consumption of supplies.
In the coming period, the Zhongtiao Mountain Command will face serious material supply difficulties. Even if they do not fight the Japanese army, their ammunition inventory will probably be able to last until the Spring Festival next year. There are 200,000 troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, which consumes a lot of food. Most of the dozen or so counties controlled by Zhongtiao Mountain Command are mountainous areas with relatively small cultivated land. If you want to feed so many troops under Zhongtiao Mountain Command, , simply impossible.
General Fu first sent a telegram to the King of Shanxi, hoping that the World War II District Chief's Department would provide them with food, but the King of Shanxi flatly refused and asked him to find a way on his own.
General Fu really couldn't think of any good ideas, so he thought of Xu Dalong and specially invited him to come over to discuss purchasing grain from the Mawu Mountain base area.
The base area currently under the jurisdiction of the Mawushan Military Division is very large, covering a vast area of 25 counties. More than a dozen of them are in the plains and are relatively rich in products. There is no problem in supplying the troops under the Mawushan Military Division. There can be a lot of surplus to provide to other troops in the Taiyue Military Region.
However, these surpluses cannot meet the needs of the Zhongtiao Mountain Command of more than 200,000 troops.
Faced with the difficulties encountered by friendly forces, and coupled with the friendship between Xu Dalong and General Fu, he expressed his willingness to assist the Zhongtiao Mountain Command in solving the food problem.
Since this matter involved the grain handed over by the Mawushan Military Region to the Taiyue Military Region, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the commander for instructions.
In order to meet the needs of the united front, the commander agreed with Xu Dalong to help the Zhongtiao Mountain Command solve the food problem.
He said that after this year's autumn grain comes out, the Mawushan Military Division will no longer have to provide food for the Taiyue Military Region. The grain can be sold to General Fu.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Zhao Gang and asked him to calculate how much food surplus the Mawushan Military Division would have in addition to this batch of food.
Zhao Gang responded with a telegram, saying that after the Mawushan Military Division receives its autumn grain this year, it can provide 4 million kilograms of grain to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command.
The amount of this batch of food is not small, but for the more than 200,000 troops of the Zhongtiao Mountain Command, it can barely last for a month, and it still cannot make up for the huge food gap.
In Xu Dalong's hands, there is still a large amount of food, and that is Zhou Mingde's trading company. This company is mainly engaged in grain business. Grain stores are located in almost all counties and above in Shanxi. The grain controlled by the trading company is supplied to the Zhongtiao Mountain Headquarters, which can fully meet their needs.
But there is a big problem here, that is, food is a strategic material, and the Japanese army controls it extremely strictly.
Although Zhou Mingde had connected with all parties and could continue to run the grain business, the amount of grain and the accounts of the incoming and outgoing grains he controlled had to be reviewed by the Japanese army to prevent these grains from falling into the hands of the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Without a proper solution, there is no way to sell it to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command.
Xu Dalong truthfully told General Fu the situation. General Fu understood Xu Dalong's difficulties, but now he had no other choice but to place all his hopes on Xu Dalong, and begged Xu Dalong to figure it out no matter what. The solution to the problem ensures that the Eighth Route Army will not suffer in terms of price.
Xu Dalong agreed to General Fu's request and said that he would do his best.
General Fu has great trust in Xu Dalong. He knows that whatever Xu Dalong promises, he will definitely be able to do it. With Xu Dalong's promise, his heart felt at ease.
While waiting for Monk Wei and others to transport the supplies back, Xu Dalong stayed at the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters. General Fu spent most of his time with Xu Dalong. The two talked every day, covering a wide range of topics.
The longer he stayed in contact with Xu Dalong, the more General Fu discovered that Xu Dalong was knowledgeable and had many novel things. Every conversation gave him new insights and benefited a lot.
He said with emotion: "Brother Dalong, you are so knowledgeable and experienced at such a young age. Compared with you, my old brother and I are as old as a dog."
Xu Dalong also respected General Fu very much. General Fu was upright, patriotic, and had rich life experience. Xu Dalong also gained a lot from talking to him.
The relationship between the two was already very good, and through this period of time together, they felt more and more like confidants.
On this day, Monk Wei, Li Zhendong and others escorted the supplies back. Since the Ninth War Zone can no longer provide supplies to the Zhongtiao Mountain Command in the near future, the amount of supplies provided this time is relatively large. In order to thank Xu Dalong, General Fu insisted on giving Xu Dalong some supplies.
Xu Dalong knew that the Zhongtiao Mountain Command would be unable to obtain supplies for a long time, but he could not refute General Fu's face. In the end, he only accepted some of the high explosives and asked Monk Wei to send people to the arsenal in the Mawu Mountain base.
General Fu told Xu Dalong about the situation at the Zhongtiao Mountain Command that they would not fight the Japanese army in the next six months and could only stick to the original defense area. He hoped that the Eighth Route Army would take this factor into consideration when fighting the Japanese army.
Xu Dalong understood what General Fu meant. In the past six months, if the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese in Shanxi, it would not be able to rely on the Zhongtiao Mountain Command to contain the Japanese forces.
After Xu Dalong returned to the Mawushan base area, he informed Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others of the situation, and also reported to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
He is a man of his word. In order to help the Zhongtiao Mountain Command solve the food problem, he sent a telegram to Zhou Mingde, asking him how to transfer the food to the base area, reminding him not to attract the attention of the Japanese army and to ensure the safety of the trading company.
Zhou Mingde telegraphed back saying that in order to achieve this goal, he could only rely on the help of the Japanese and puppet parties, saying that he would try to solve this problem.
Hearing what Zhou Mingde said, Xu Dalong thought of a way to solve the problem.
He sent a telegram back to Zhou Mingde, asking him not to get involved in the matter in order to avoid exposing the identity of the trading company. He is responsible for solving the channels for transporting grain.
On this day, Yan Guiwu received a telegram from Zhao Gang, asking him to let Wang Shuhuai come to the base area because he had important matters to discuss.
Wang Shuhuai came to the headquarters of the military division. Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang met with him and told him that after this year's autumn grain came out, the Mawushan Military Division would need to purchase a large amount of grain, not only from within the jurisdiction of Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division, but also from Purchase elsewhere in Shanxi.
They wanted Huang Xiejun to facilitate the purchase and transportation of these grains, and then the military division would provide them with certain benefits.
Wang Shuhuai had helped Xu Dalong and the others to do this kind of thing more than once before. It could be said that they were familiar with the process.
But this time the quantity they wanted was too large. Not only that, they also had to transport food here from outside the Fourth Division's defense area, which made them a little embarrassed.
In the defense area of the Fourth Division of the Huang Xiejun, they were sure that they would not be held accountable by the Japanese army, but they were not sure about transporting food from the defense areas of other Huang Xiejun troops.
And in other defense areas, once the Japanese army became aware of this incident, they could easily follow the clues and find the head of Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division. In that case, the trouble would be too great.
Xu Dalong asked: "Don't you have any business dealings with Huang Xiejun's other troops?"
Wang Shuhuai said: "There must be some, but they are other supplies, medicine, steel and other contraband. They also have to go out, but the quantity is controlled within a certain range. The food needed by the Mawushan Military Division is There are just too many of them, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to do this.”
Xu Dalong said: "You can go ahead and clear the relationship. We can provide you with the necessary expenses. Don't be afraid of spending money."
Wang Shuhuai said: "That's okay, I'll go and give it a try."
Zhao Gang gave Wang Shuhuai 30,000 yuan and told him that if it was not enough, he could provide him with some more funds.
With so many white flowers in the ocean, Wang Shuhuai basically had a good idea.
He said: "It's not a big problem, just wait for my news.
Soon after, Wang Shuhuai sent a telegram saying that he had negotiated terms with the quartermaster of Huang Xiejun's Second Division, and they agreed to provide help when the time came.
The quartermaster of Huang Xiejun's third division was Wang Shuhuai's fellow villager. They came from the same village. He also agreed to help, but there was just one thing he wanted to ask Wang Shuhuai for help.
Wang Shuhuai told Xu Dalong about Huang Xiejun's third division quartermaster's request, and Xu Dalong agreed to help him solve this problem.
Xu Dalong handed over this matter to Monk Wei. This matter was simply a piece of cake for Monk Wei, and he did not need to personally take action to hand over the task.
The squadron leader of the Fourth Squadron of the Special Operations Group who accepted the task handed the task to the squad leader below. The squad leader took several special operations team members and left the Mawushan base area and went to the defense area of Huang Xiejun's Third Division to perform the task.
Guangyuan County.
Guangyuan County is the largest county in central Shanxi and one of the most prosperous counties in central Shanxi. The headquarters of Huang Xiejun's third division is stationed here.
After dinner that day, guests began to arrive at Yihonglou in the east of the city.
A middle-aged man wearing a top hat, black silk clothes, and carrying a box of cannons walked in with two young men dressed similarly, except that their clothes were made of coarse cloth.
The old madam who was leaning on the red building hurried forward to greet me and said with a flattering smile: "Hey, Mr. Luo, why didn't you come yesterday? Xiao Taohong has always been looking forward to your coming, and today you even complained about me."
The man leading the charge is Luo Fengnian, the captain of the Guangyuan County Gendarmerie Detective Team.
He smiled and said: "Old Madam, you didn't lie to me, did you? If you dare to assign Xiao Taohong to someone else, I will demolish your Yihong Building."
