On the way, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others, saying that he had something to go to Chongqing and that he would use the radio to contact them if there was anything.
The person who received the telegram was Lin Xueying. She knew that Xu Dalong went to Chu Yunfei's place, and she vaguely guessed that Xu Dalong's trip to Chongqing might be related to Chu Yun'er. If not, he would definitely take her back with him when he went to Chongqing. Visiting parents.
Lin Xueying's mood was very complicated, but she did not delay her work. After translating the telegram, she sent it to Li Yunlong.
As one of the main leading cadres of Ma Wushan, Xu Dalong must apply for approval from his superiors if he wants to leave the base area. He suddenly went to Chongqing. Li Yunlong was not notified by his superiors, and Xu Dalong did not tell him what he was going to do. It was obvious that this was an unauthorized act. He sent the telegram to Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong knew that this was Xu Dalong's trust in him.
Li Yunlong didn't say anything, but told Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao about the incident and asked them to keep it secret.
Zhao Gang is a very principled person. If he were still in the independent group and such a situation happened, he would definitely report it to his superiors. But it was different now. He had great trust in Xu Dalong and was willing to share everything for him, so he consciously kept the secret.
General Fu of Zhongtiao Mountain received a telegram from Xu Dalong, saying that he had something to pass through the defense area of Zhongtiao Mountain and asked General Fu to prepare several guides for him and provide him with some living supplies. Because the matter was urgent, he stopped visiting General Fu.
After General Fu received the telegram, he immediately followed Xu Dalong's request and handed it over to his adjutant, asking him to personally handle these matters for Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong and others passed by Zhongtiao Mountain and saw General Fu's adjutant who had been waiting for them on the road. The adjutant said hello to Xu Dalong on behalf of General Fu. Xu Dalong asked the adjutant to convey his greetings to General Fu, and then continued to the defense area of the 72nd Army of the Guo Army.
The 72nd Army belongs to the battle sequence of the Ninth War Zone. In last year's Battle of Juma River, Xu Dalong helped the troops in Zhongtiao Mountain to fight. At that time, they defeated the Japanese 37th Division and the 33rd Garrison Division. He once followed General Fu The commanders of the 72nd Army met.
After entering the defense area of the 72nd Army, the officers heard that Xu Dalong was coming and entertained him warmly. Xu Dalong was not in the mood to stay and said that he was going to perform an emergency mission.
The officers provided help to Xu Dalong. They asked the troops below and learned that Chu Yun'er and others had indeed passed through the defense area of the 72nd Army. They provided Xu Dalong with the time and departure route for Chu Yun'er and others to leave the 72nd Army Defense Area, and provided Xu Dalong with a guide to the Dabie Mountains.
Xu Dalong expressed his gratitude to the superiors and said that he would definitely come to visit them after returning from the mission.
He sent a telegram to the Ninth War Zone, asking them to provide information about Chu Yun'er and others from all the troops in the Dabie Mountains.
The officers of the Ninth War Zone were all familiar with Xu Dalong and had friendship with each other. They were all willing to help and quickly provided Xu Dalong with some useful information.
According to the route Chu Yun'er and others traveled, they passed the defense area of the 74th Army of the Fruit Army, and then should enter the defense area of the 16th Army of the Fruit Army. The 74th Army said that their troops below had seen Chu Yun'er and others, but the 16th Army had no news about them.
Xu Dalong concluded that they had a problem at the junction between the 74th Army and the 16th Army, and he immediately rushed there with Wei Monk and others.
This is the Tongbai Mountain area on the border of Henan. According to the intelligence provided by the 74th Army, the situation in this area is very complicated. Not only are the Japanese troops active, but there are also a large number of armed bandits.
These bandit armed forces are local snakes and are difficult to deal with. Moreover, these guys do not buy into the Guojun army. There have been many conflicts with the Guojun troops in the past.
After the commander of the 74th Army provided Xu Dalong with the situation, he said that if there was any need, they would definitely provide help.
Xu Dalong requested to provide them with a guide who was familiar with the local conditions, and mobilized social relations to provide clues about Chu Yun'er and others.
Xu Dalong was worried that Chu Yun'er and others would fall into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops, so he sent a telegram to the military command headquarters and asked them to mobilize the military command organizations in this area to provide relevant intelligence.
The military commander definitely gave Xu Dalong face and informed him immediately. Soon they sent a message, saying that there was no news about Chu Yun'er and that it was unlikely that they would fall into the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops. It was possible that they fell into the hands of bandits.
Xu Dalong continued to mobilize connections to find Chu Yun'er's whereabouts.
The officers of the 74th Army also hoped to help Xu Dalong. They initiated various relationships and soon provided Xu Dalong with a useful clue.
Wei Laixi is a battalion commander of the 74th Army stationed in Tongbai County. They have been stationed in this area for more than two years. They have strong connections in the local area, have contacts with all religions, and even do business with local bandit armed forces. The local news is relatively well-informed. They actually heard a piece of news about Chu Yun'er and others.
Accompanied by the military adjutant, Xu Dalong and others came to Xinglong Town and met the battalion commander Wei Laixi.
Wei Laixi called over the squad leader of the battalion's cooking class and told Xu Dalong what he had heard.
This morning, the cooking squad leader went to the town to purchase daily necessities and met an acquaintance. This person was a logistics staff member of the largest bandit force in the area, and he also came to purchase daily necessities.
This fruit army and the bandits have always maintained a state of harmony between wells and rivers, and there is still a certain amount of business dealings. The superiors also turned a blind eye to this matter, and no one held their subordinates accountable for this behavior.
The cooking squad leader saw that the other party had purchased a lot of daily necessities, as well as some red and green things that should be used for weddings, so he asked casually.
The other party said that the master of their cottage had recently captured a woman who looked like a fairy and was planning to marry her as his wife. He said that this woman was so beautiful and had a bad temper. She should be a young lady from a wealthy family, and she was escorted by people in military uniforms.
After hearing this, Xu Dalong was basically certain that Chu Yun'er and others had fallen into the hands of this group of bandits.
He immediately took out a draft of 10,000 yuan and handed it to Wei Laixi to express his gratitude.
Xu Dalong was a famous anti-Japanese general. Wei Laixi had heard of his name a long time ago, and he admired him and was willing to help. Seeing how generous he was in taking action, he immediately patted his chest and said that as long as Xu Dalong was useful, he would fully cooperate.
Xu Dalong asked Wei Laixi to provide detailed information about the bandits and asked him to send troops to help him attack the bandits. Wei Laixi told Xu Dalong in detail what he had learned.
The leader of this group of bandits is named Yang Jinlong. He is thirty-six or seventeen years old. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has good marksmanship. He is good at using a pair of silver-plated shell guns with handles. He is known as the double-gun hero and has more than 700 bandits under his command. It is very powerful in this area.
Wei Laixi mobilized various social connections and channels to understand the situation. He was able to confirm that Chu Yun'er and others had fallen into Yang Jinlong's hands.
Adjutant Liu, who accompanied Xu Dalong from the 74th Army, learned that there were more than 700 bandits in Yang Jinlong's group. He immediately said that he would report to his superiors and ask the 74th Army to send a large force to help Xu Dalong encircle and suppress this group of bandits.
Xu Dalong did not want to mobilize troops and was worried that the bandits would harm Chu Yun'er after being threatened. His opinion was to use outsmarting or sneak attacks to rescue Chu Yun'er.
Chu Yunfei missed Chu Yun'er very much. Although he believed in Xu Dalong and was unwilling to put pressure on Xu Dalong, his parents couldn't hold their breath and urged Chu Yunfei to quickly find Chu Yun'er's whereabouts.
Chu Yunfei had no choice but to send a telegram to Xu Dalong to inquire about the progress of the incident.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram back to Chu Yunfei, telling him that Chu Yun'er's whereabouts had been determined and that he would organize a rescue immediately.
The journey from the World War II Zone Chief's Headquarters to Chongqing is long, and problems may arise anywhere. Now is the era of war and chaos. It is unimaginably difficult to find a small team with only a dozen people. This was also the main reason why he asked Xu Dalong for help.
Seeing that Xu Dalong found the whereabouts of Chu Yun'er so quickly, Chu Yunfei was very emotional and said: "Brother Dalong is really a person. He is the only one with such strong connections who can find the whereabouts of my sister so quickly."
Fang Ligong saw that Chu Yunfei still had a worried look on his face. He understood Chu Yunfei's mood. After all, Chu Yun'er had not been rescued yet.
He comforted Chu Yunfei and said: "Sir Chu, Brother Dalong is a man of God. There is no problem that he can't solve. Don't worry, Brother Dalong is here to ensure that Miss Chu will not have any problems."
Chu Yunfei nodded without saying anything, his heart full of expectations. He truly believed in Xu Dalong and made people feel at ease no matter what was left to him.
Chu Yun'er and others did indeed fall into the hands of bandits. When they passed under Tongbai Mountain, they were targeted by the bandits.
Under normal circumstances, bandits do not attack the Guojun troops because they will cause big trouble if the Guojun finds out. But when they saw that the military uniforms worn by the people escorting Chu Yun'er were not those of the Zhongyang Army active in the local area, they had no scruples. They believed that no matter how powerful the Jinsui Army was, they would never come here to cause trouble.
So they lurked on the roadside, and when Chu Yun'er and others passed by, they suddenly jumped out.
Chu Yun'er and others were unprepared and were directly held up by the bandits with guns. Chu Yun'er is not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble, so she wants to fight against the bandits.
The bandits took the lead in shooting, killing two escorting Jinsui Army soldiers, and threatened Chu Yun'er that if she dared to resist again, they would all be killed.
Faced with this situation, Chu Yun'er had no choice but to put down the gun in his hand, and they were taken up the mountain.
When Yang Jinlong saw Chu Yun'er's beauty, he wanted to seize her as his wife. Of course Chu Yun'er refused to give in, so Yang Jinlong wanted to give her a hard bow.
Chu Yun'er had a strong character. In order to avoid being humiliated, she banged her head against the leg of the Eight Immortals table in the room.
Yang Jinlong had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed her, thus preventing Chu Yun'er from getting hurt.
Seeing that Chu Yun'er's character was so strong, he didn't dare to force her, so he imprisoned her first, hoping to soften her character a bit.
Chu Yun'er was young and beautiful, which made Yang Jinlong salivate. Her strong character also made Jin Yanglong very attracted.
He was anxious to marry Chu Yun'er, so he started to get the bandits to prepare for his wedding.
Chu Yun'er was imprisoned. In order to prevent her from committing suicide, Yang Jinlong found some big-bodied evil women to guard her. Even if she wanted to die, she couldn't.
In fact, Chu Yun'er didn't really want to die. She did it just to show off, so that Yang Jinlong didn't dare to touch her for a short time.
She is a very scheming girl, she is stalling for time, waiting for someone to rescue her.
The reason why Chu Yun'er thinks this way is because she knows that she has to communicate with her brother on the radio every day. Once her brother doesn't get news about her, he will know that something is wrong with her. He will definitely ask Xu Dalong for help.
Chu Yun'er felt that Xu Dalong was closer to Lin Xueying, but she also knew that if something happened to her, Xu Dalong would definitely come to save her, and with Xu Dalong's ability, he would definitely be able to rescue her.
Thinking of this, Xu Dalong's kind face appeared in front of Chu Yun'er's eyes. She also felt more settled.
After careful discussion, Xu Dalong and Wei Laixi came up with a way to rescue Chu Yun'er.
Yang Jinlong has been in a good mood these days. He has been a bandit for many years and has often bullied men and dominated women. He has been around many women, but he has never seen a beautiful and educated woman like Chu Yun'er. When he thought of Chu Yun'er's pretty face, he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart.
Preparations for the wedding were underway, and he looked forward to becoming the groom's official as soon as possible.
The good news came again. Wei Laixi, the commander of the garrison at the foot of the mountain, sent a message saying that he had obtained a batch of weapons, including two Czech light machine guns, 40 Type 79 rifles, and a batch of bullet grenades, which he wanted to sell to him.
Yang Jinlong has more than 700 people and more than 300 guns. These guns are of various kinds and the equipment is very backward. What he lacks most is weapons and ammunition.
Wei Laixi had sold him some weapons and ammunition before, so he had no doubt about it.
Wei Laixi invited him to the town as a guest to discuss the purchase of weapons face to face.
Yang Jinlong had no suspicion and brought more than 20 bandits to Xinglong Town.
Xu Dalong and others put on the uniforms of the Zhongyang Army and prepared to capture Yang Jinlong and others when they were attending the banquet and force them to hand them over.
Yang Jinlong and others rode towards Xinglong Town. Just when the town could be seen, a man suddenly emerged from the crops on the roadside. This man, wearing plain clothes, walked to the middle of the road and reached out to stop the horses of Yang Jinlong and others.
When the bandits saw someone daring to block the road, they immediately became furious. One bandit rushed up and waved his whip to whip the person.
The visitor shouted: "I am the one in charge!"
