Li Baokui and the others saw the Guojun team in the distance. Although there were many people, they were not afraid. They were very confident and believed that the Guojun team could not attack.
Li Baokui said: "It seems that the third leader can't come to an agreement with them. Guo Jun wants to give it a try. Brothers, if they dare to attack, you will beat them to death. If they come, they will be killed." How much does he have?"
They observed here for a while and saw that the Guo army had no intention of attacking the mountain stronghold. Although they did not understand what they were going to do, they felt that there was no risk.
Li Baokui said easily: "If they want to stay at the foot of the mountain, just stay there. Laozi is too lazy to pay attention to them. Let's go back and have a banquet, and then ask the captured actors to sing for us."
The other bandit leaders were also very relaxed and walked towards the meeting hall laughing and joking.
At this moment, there was a roar in the sky. This area was a mountainous area and was not a key area for Japanese operations. No Japanese aircraft had flown here before. The Guojun army has no aircraft in this area.
The bandits were all natives and had basically no idea about things like airplanes. When they heard the roar, they were all very curious and stopped to look at the sky.
Soon after, four bombers flew over Tongniu Village. After they flew over, they quickly returned, and then hovered over Tongniu Village. Every time they passed by, the altitude continued to decrease. This is the pilots constantly confirming the location of Tongniu Village based on the coordinates of the target provided by Xu Dalong.
It turned out that this was Xu Dalong's idea. He checked the map and based on the scale, he found that the distance from Zhongtiao Mountain was exactly within the bomber's combat radius.
General Fu bought a batch of bombers from Xu Dalong. They were very precious and would not be willing to use them under normal circumstances. But Xu Dalong had the face to send the telegram, and General Fu sent these bombers over.
Soon the pilots began to drop bombs. They bullied the bandits who had no anti-aircraft weapons, so they all flew very low and dropped bombs very accurately. Almost no bombs were wasted, and they all dropped in Tongniu Village.
According to information provided by Xu Dalong, the bombers carried small bombs weighing 50 pounds, and each plane carried 60 bombs. The buildings in the village are very fragile, even if such a small aerial bomb is used, they cannot withstand it at all.
Four bombers dropped more than 200 aerial bombs, basically turning the entire Tongniu Village upside down. Tongniu Village is such a large place, and the bandits on the mountain have no place to hide.
Seeing that Tongniu Village was blown to pieces, the officers and soldiers of the Guo Army burst into warm cheers.
Wang Dayong's face was ashen. How could he have imagined that Xu Dalong and the others could recruit such a powerful weapon to deal with a small Tongniu Village.
After the bombing, Xu Dalong said to Wang Dayong: "Third Leader, I have to trouble you to go up and ask the people in your village to surrender. Otherwise, I don't mind letting the bombers bomb again."
Wang Dayong hurriedly said: "Sir Xu, I will go up right away and persuade the boss and others to come down."
When Wang Dayong went up the mountain, he saw that the gate of the village and the surrounding walls had all been blown down. The mutilated bodies of many bandits guarding the gate were scattered on the ground. When he entered the village, the scene in front of him was even more shocking. Almost all the houses in the village were destroyed, with ruins and mutilated bodies everywhere.
He walked around for a long time and occasionally found a few living people. They were either injured and screaming, or they were dumbfounded. They had obviously been blown away.
He searched for a long time and found that the boss, most of the bandits, and the islanders were basically killed by the bombing. There used to be more than 700 people in a village, but now there are no more than 50 people alive.
Tongniuzhai was once the place where Wang Dayong settled down and settled down. Seeing this scene, he fell to the ground and couldn't help but shed tears.
Soon after, Xu Dalong, Wei Monk, Adjutant Liu and others led the team up the mountain.
Tongniu Village, which had been entrenched in Tongbai Mountain District for decades, was destroyed.
Camp Commander Wei was very happy. For him, all hidden dangers had been eliminated, and he no longer had to live in fear. He held a banquet in Xinglong Town for Xu Dalong and others and the officers of the Guo Army.
Tongniu Village was uprooted and a lot of money was seized from the mountain, with a total value of more than 150,000 oceans. Xu Dalong was a good friend and only took back the 20,000 yuan he had redeemed Chu Yun'er, and the rest was distributed to his brothers in the national army.
Not only that, Xu Dalong promised all the Guojun brothers who participated in the war that he would ask their superiors for credit.
Xu Dalong has a great reputation and can directly talk to the Ninth War Zone. If the officers and soldiers are promoted this time, they will definitely not be able to escape.
If the officers and soldiers eliminated a brigade of Japanese and the bandits who had been troubled by Tongniu Village for many years, this achievement was enough to make them feel proud. They had made so many oceans and were promoted to nobility. They were now profoundly aware of it. After understanding it, as long as you follow Xu Dalong, you will definitely gain a lot.
This banquet was also a farewell to Xu Dalong and others. The officers were reluctant to let him go. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. They frequently toasted to Xu Dalong. Although Xu Dalong drank a lot, he was still drunk.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and others escorted Chu Yun'er on her way home.
On the way back, Chu Yun'er and Xu Dalong were riding in the same car. Perhaps they were reunited after a long separation. She was chatting and laughing with Xu Dalong like a little girl. When she was sleepy and tired, she naturally leaned on Xu Dalong's body.
Xu Dalong felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that this eldest lady really liked him, and he also had a good impression of her. If it weren't for Lin Xueying, I'm afraid he would accept Chu Yun'er in the end.
Xu Dalong and others arrived at Fendong County and sent Chu Yun'er home directly.
Chu Yunfei was already waiting for them at home. A banquet had been prepared at home to calm Chu Yun'er's shock and cleanse Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong rescued Chu Yun'er, and the Chu family was very enthusiastic about him. Chu Yun'er's parents had long known that their precious daughter liked Xu Dalong. They used to think that Xu Dalong was from the Eighth Route Army and did not belong to the same camp as them, so they were opposed to the interaction between Chu Yun'er and Xu Dalong.
As time went by, Xu Dalong became better and better, and they gradually began to accept this reality. This incident was like a catalyst. Chu Yun'er's parents completely accepted Xu Dalong.
When they talked to Xu Dalong, their tone was intimate, and they already regarded him as their son-in-law.
Xu Dalong was a little embarrassed, but in this situation, he didn't know how to explain this misunderstanding, so he could only deal with it temporarily.
That night, Chu Yun'er's parents invited Xu Dalong to stay at their home. Of course Xu Dalong couldn't do this, so he politely declined.
The Chu family sent Xu Dalong away, looking at his back, the old couple's eyes were filled with admiration. But Chu Yunfei's eyes were full of worry.
Early the next morning, Xu Dalong, Wei Monk and others left Fendong County and returned to the Mawu Mountain base area.
The first thing Xu Dalong did when he returned to the base area was to visit Zhao Gang in the hospital.
At this time, Zhao Gang's injury was almost healed. He didn't know what Xu Dalong was going out to do this time. After chatting for a few words, he said with some expectation: "What did the captain gain from going out this time?"
Not only did Xu Dalong not bring back any money when he went out this time, but he also spent tens of thousands of dollars.
He said with some embarrassment. : "Commissioner Zheng, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. In order to fight the Japanese and eliminate the bandits, I spent a lot of money this time. But don't feel bad. I will find an opportunity in two days and I will make the money back." of."
Zhao Gang was actually joking with Xu Dalong, but he didn't take it seriously. He knew that Xu Dalong was a business owner who would not suffer losses, and believed that he would definitely be able to make back the money he spent, and would also bring in additional income.
Li Yiyun has been taking care of Zhao Gang, and she knows what Xu Dalong is going out to do this time. She usually gets close to Lin Xueying and has a very close relationship. Regarding Xu Dalong's trip, she felt a little unhappy and felt a little unfair for Lin Xueying.
She saw that Xu Dalong didn't mention this matter, so she refrained from mentioning it.
After Xu Dalong left, Li Yiyun finally couldn't help it. She said: "Old Zhao, the captain is good at everything, but he is a little unclear on emotional matters. He obviously likes Sister Xueying, and Sister Xueying also likes him so much. But he is still entangled with that Chu Yun'er, which is really too much."
Although Zhao Gang and Li Yiyun are lovers and their relationship is very close, he is a principled person and does things very measuredly.
He said with some displeasure: "Evian, you can't talk about the captain behind his back. He is not only your comrade-in-arms, but also the leader. You must pay attention to the impact of your words."
Li Yiyun said angrily: "Old Zhao, look at what you said, am I the ignorant person? Isn't this just what I'm talking to you about?"
Zhao Gang said: "There are some things that you can't even tell me. Walls have ears, and if others hear them, they will misunderstand that the leaders in our base area are not on good terms.
Besides, the captain is a principled person. He has his own opinions on how to do things and should not make any arbitrary comments. "
Zhao Gang respects Xu Dalong very much. In his mind, Xu Dalong is almost perfect. Anyone who questions Xu Dalong will make him unhappy.
Li Yiyun also respected Xu Dalong very much, and because of this, she fought for Lin Xueying.
Seeing how serious Zhao Gang was, she didn't care. She stretched out her fist and lightly punched Zhao Gang on the shoulder, and said, "Old Zhao, you are really such a narrow-minded person. No one will dare to tell you what's in his heart in the future. "After speaking, he rolled his eyes angrily.
Looking at Li Yiyun's charming appearance, Zhao Gang's heart was filled with emotion. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and said with a smile: "You are so petty. I just expressed my opinion, and you are angry with me."
While the young couple were flirting, Xu Dalong returned to the military division headquarters.
Li Yunlong said: "Brother Dalong, you are back. Commander Si Ling called many times asking about your whereabouts. I said you went to Zhongtiao Mountain to visit General Fu, but Commander Si Ling didn't say anything. But he told I will send him a telegram as soon as you come back."
Xu Dalong hurriedly sent the telegram, and Commander Si quickly responded to the telegram. He did not blame him, but asked him to come to Taiyue Military Region as soon as possible.
Xu Dalong arranged for a transport plane and soon arrived at the Taiyue Military Region's Command Headquarters.
After the meeting, Commander Sir did not mention Xu Dalong's departure from the base area.
He said: "Xu Dalong, the Chief of the Second War Zone forwarded a commendation order issued by the Chief of the Ninth War Zone, saying that you assisted the troops of the 74th Army in Tongbai Mountain District and eliminated an infantry brigade of the Japanese, and requested the Chief of the Second War Zone The superiors of the Ministry and the Eighth Route Army will commend you."
When Xu Dalong heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. He felt that things were not that simple. The ninth theater commander's department would not make such a big fuss over such a trivial matter. There should be more to it. Otherwise, Commander Sling would not have specifically called him over.
He asked doubtfully: "Commander, is there something going on at the ninth theater commander's department?"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Xu Dalong, your thinking is quick. The Ninth War Zone Commander's Department really wants your help with something."
Then he told the whole story.
It turned out that the troops of the Ninth War Zone had set up a long snake formation in the Dabie Mountains. From north to south were the 72nd Army, the 74th Army, and the 16th Army.
Recently, the Japanese 22nd Division dispatched an infantry brigade and penetrated the junction of the 74th Army and the 16th Army. This was equivalent to cutting off the logistics supplies of the 74th Army and the 72nd Army. The 16th Army and the 74th Army launched a counterattack against the Japanese army, but the battle did not go smoothly.
Xu Dalong had just helped the 74th Army win a victory. The commander of the Ninth Theater District remembered Xu Dalong, a fierce general, and hoped that he could go over and help drive away the infantry brigade of the Japanese 22nd Division and restore the peace of the Ninth Theater Command. transportation lines between.
They sent a telegram to their superiors in the Eighth Route Army, asking to send Xu Dalong to help.
Xu Dalong thought about it carefully and felt that things were not that simple. He thought about it over and over again and finally understood why the Ninth War Zone Commander's Department did this.
After he figured it out, he told Commander Sling and the Chief of Staff the reason for the incident.
The reason why the Chief of the Ninth War Zone invited Xu Dalong to help fight this battle was that Xu Dalong's bravery and skill in fighting was certainly an important aspect, but it was not the whole story.
When the 74th Army and the 16th Army fought against the Japanese army, they hoped to receive reinforcements from the Zhongtiaoshan Air Force. However, the Ninth Theater Command still owed logistical supplies from the Zhongtiaoshan Command. They could not open their mouths. If If they rashly proposed and were rejected by the Zhongtiao Mountain Command, they would lose face, and it might even affect the relationship between the Ninth War Zone and the Zhongtiao Mountain Command.
When the Guo army was dealing with bandits in the Tongbai Mountain area, Xu Dalong sent a telegram and the Zhongtiao Mountain Command sent the air force. They knew that Xu Dalong had a close relationship with General Fu.
