Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Commander Si Ling and the Chief of Staff were very excited when they heard that the Mawushan Military Division Arsenal had developed such a killer weapon as a thermobaric bomb. At the same time, they also felt a little worried.
Commander Siren requested that the use of this bomb must be done with caution and strict confidentiality. The technical information of this bomb must not be disclosed to the outside world, nor should this bomb be sold to the outside world. Before use, a report must be made to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Officer Sling's caution is very reasonable. After all, the island country is one of the top industrial powers in the world. If the technical data of the thermobaric bomb, or even the development ideas, are revealed, the island country is likely to develop it in a short time. If they come out, the anti-Japanese armed forces will suffer the consequences.
After Zhao Gang returned to the Mawushan base area, he held a special meeting, emphasizing the strict confidentiality of thermobaric bombs and stipulating that thermobaric bombs should not be used lightly, and must be dropped at the most critical moment of the battle, and the weapons used should be destroyed afterwards. evidence.
Kong Jie sent a telegram that day. There was a fierce battle between the New Second Brigade and the Japanese army. They surrounded an infantry regiment of the Japanese army. The Japanese army was stationed in a hilly area. The New Second Brigade was unable to attack for a long time. They requested the Mawushan Military Division to send the air force. support.
After receiving the telegram, Xu Dalong sent Bob to fly a bomber to support.
After Kong Jie received the telegram, he was very happy and informed the officers and soldiers of the New Second Brigade about the good news that the Mawushan Military Division had sent the air force to support. The officers and soldiers were also very excited and looked forward to the bombers flying over as soon as possible.
The bomber finally flew over, but everyone, including Kong Jie, was a little disappointed because there was only one bomber flying over. Kong Jie and others could not help but feel a little surprised. Kong Jie knew that Xu Dalong had always been generous and would not send only one bomber in order to save aerial bombs and fuel.
At first, they thought the bomber was coming to attack the front station, so they stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the Mawushan base area. After looking for a long time, there were no other bombers behind them.
Kong Jie felt very puzzled, so he sent a telegram to Xu Dalong and asked why only one bomber was sent over.
The surrounded Japanese officers and soldiers heard the roar of the bombers, and they were all frightened. When they saw there was only one bomber in the sky, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Although aerial bombs are powerful, only one bomber cannot carry many, and they do not pose a great threat to an infantry regiment.
Kong Jie and others kept watching the bomber in the sky, and saw the bomber circling repeatedly in the sky. After turning several times, it dropped two bombs and then flew away.
With two "boom boom" sounds, two bombs exploded. Everyone saw two huge fireballs flashing over the Japanese army's position. The fireballs were so bright that they hurt people's eyes. Everyone quickly closed their eyes.
When they opened their eyes, they saw that all the plants on the hills were burning, which made them feel a little strange. It just rained last night, and the vegetation on the mountain is very moist, so it is not easy to ignite it. Moreover, the vegetation in this area is relatively sparse, and it will not burn other trees because of the burning of dead branches and leaves. .
After the thermobaric bomb exploded, all the vegetation on the mountain actually burned, which was enough to show how high the temperature was, causing the moist vegetation to dry out instantly and start burning.
Kong Jie was very confused and launched a tentative attack on the mountain. The officers and soldiers advanced cautiously at the beginning. Soon they found that the enemy troops on the mountain had almost no response, and they only suffered sporadic fire strikes.
The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army gradually became more courageous, continued to charge forward, and successfully attacked.
Kong Jie was both excited and confused. He climbed up the mountain in person with a shell gun. The scene in front of him surprised him. The mountains were strewn with the burned corpses of Japanese soldiers. Even those Japanese soldiers who were not burnt were curled up with hideous faces. The scene was very terrifying.
Kong Jie really couldn't understand. The bomber just dropped two bombs, and they were so powerful. He really didn't know what new weapons Xu Dalong and the others had come up with, which were so powerful.
At this moment, Xu Dalong's telegram came. He did not explain in detail what new type of aerial bombs were used, but only asked Kong Jie to burn all the corpses of the Japanese and puppet troops, and asked the troops to keep the matter secret.
Kong Jie won a big victory in a daze, which made him a little unhappy. On the one hand, the main reason for the victory was not how powerful the new second brigade was, but the Mawushan Military Division's use of powerful aerial bombs.
Another thing that made him feel uncomfortable was that the Japanese weapons and ammunition were basically scrapped under the high temperature of thermobaric bombs, so the New Second Brigade basically did not capture anything this time. In fighting this battle, they themselves also consumed a lot of ammunition, and it can be said that the gains outweighed the losses.
Xu Dalong was still considerate. Soon after, he sent someone to send a batch of weapons and ammunition to Kong Jie, which made up for the consumption of this battle. Kong Jie and others became happy.
In any case, after all, they killed an infantry regiment of the Japanese army this time, which is still a great achievement.
Next, another piece of good news came. Kong Jie personally took people to the Taiyue Military Region to receive new communication equipment.
After Kong Jie arrived at the Taiyue Military Region, he saw Ding Wei and other leaders of the military regions also rushing over to receive new communication equipment.
Soon after, Si Lingyu and Zhang Wanhe also came over.
The technicians from the Mawushan Military Division Arsenal brought by Zhao Gang introduced the relevant technical parameters of the new walkie-talkie and conducted a demonstration on the spot.
Kong Jie, Ding Wei and the leaders of various military divisions were very interested in this new type of walkie-talkie. Everyone held one and called each other in the conference room, having a great time.
Zhao Gang came here this time with a large number of wireless telegraph phones, some of which were given to the Taiyue Military Region, and some of which were handed over to Zhang Wanhe. The commander and Zhang Wanhe respectively reported their praise to the Mawushan Arsenal on behalf of the Taiyue Military Region and their superiors.
Julong County.
Just as Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong led the brigade to Yangquan, some members of the special operations brigade arrived in Julong County, led by Lin Songyan, captain of the second squadron of the special operations brigade.
When Xu Dalong and others went to the Sixteenth Army of the Guo Army, they encountered an interception by the Japanese and puppet troops. In order to cover Xu Dalong's safe breakout. Lin Songyan led part of the second squadron, risking being chased and intercepted by the enemy, and attacked in the east and west, attracting the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Their number was relatively small and they could have quietly broken through the encirclement, but instead they took the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops surrounded them from all directions, and they had fierce battles with the Japanese and puppet troops. Because they were cavalry and at night, they were able to quickly break away from contact with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Then he took the initiative to attack the Japanese and puppet troops again, continuing to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Lin Songyan had a flexible mind and good command, and the special operations team members had strong combat effectiveness. They left after the fight. The Japanese and puppet troops could not do anything to them. In the end, they successfully broke through the encirclement, entered the defense zone of the 74th Army, and met up with the main force of the special operations brigade.
After returning to the Mawushan base area, the military division awarded Lin Songyan and the second squadron of the special operations brigade a collective award. Xu Dalong personally hosted a banquet to reward Lin Songyan and the officers and soldiers of the second squadron.
After arresting Tang Wenlin, Xing Gensheng and others, Gao Zhiyong immediately interrogated them. As a result, Bantian, the captain of the Peiping Special High School Action Team and others who were hiding in Julong County, surfaced.
Gao Zhiyong immediately decided to arrest Sakata and others. He believed that Julong County was in the Japanese-occupied area after all, and the local armed workers team alone could not complete the arrest mission, so he asked Xu Dalong for instructions and asked people from the special operations brigade to help.
Xu Dalong handed over this task to the Second Squadron of Lin Songyan's special operations brigade.
Outside Julong County, Lin Songyan learned about the situation in the county from the local armed workers team. There are not many Japanese and puppet troops in the county. There are only a gendarmerie with more than 60 people, a company of puppet troops and a puppet police brigade with more than 100 people.
Lin Songyan simply launched a sneak attack on the county town. The team members used the night to quietly climb the city wall, get rid of the puppet troops at the gate, opened the city gate, rushed directly into the city, and quickly wiped out everyone in the city. The Japanese and puppet troops took over the county seat.
They captured Sakata and others in the gendarmerie, interrogated them, and learned that the head of the Special Higher Education Section of the Peking Gendarmerie Headquarters was now hiding in Yucheng. They were too far away from Yucheng at this time to arrest the Super High School Section Chief, so they reported the situation to Xu Dalong.
The head of the Peking Special Higher Education Course personally planned to send Tang Wenlin and others to sneak into the Mawushan base area, carry out the assassination of Zhao Gang, and report Xu Dalong's whereabouts to Xiangyang to the Japanese and puppet troops. This incident made Xu Dalong very angry. He was determined to completely eradicate this group of Japanese special elements.
After receiving the telegram from Lin Songyan, he sent a telegram to Zheng Xirong and asked the intelligence brigade to complete the mission.
Zheng Xirong sent a telegram to Xu Dalong saying that there were only four people in the intelligence station in Yucheng, including a female operator and one person who was hospitalized due to illness. They were short-staffed and unable to complete the mission.
Xu Dalong felt a little regretful, knowing that it was definitely too late to send people to Yucheng now. If the chief of the Special High School Division knew that the Eighth Route Army was heading for Yangquan instead of Yucheng, he would immediately realize that the hidden spy had been exposed, and he would quickly leave Yucheng.
When Xu Dalong was feeling worried, he suddenly thought of Yan Guiwu. He thought about it and sent the telegram to Yan Guiwu.
Gui Yanwu has been dealing with Xu Dalong for so long, mainly in terms of intelligence and material cooperation. This is the first time he has taken action directly against the Japanese and puppet troops, and the target is someone like the special senior section chief of the Peking Military Police Headquarters. VIP.
Yan Guiwu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, so he called Wang Shuhuai to discuss the matter with him.
He said with some worry: "Xu Dalong asked us to arrest the people from the Special High School of the Peking Military Police Headquarters. It is really difficult for us. If the people of the island nation find out about this matter, we will not be able to reap the benefits."
Wang Shuhuai carefully read the telegram sent by Xu Dalong, and he said: "Master, didn't Captain Xu say that? He was really beyond his reach this time, so he handed this matter over to us. This is his trust in us. .
Captain Xu is someone we cannot afford to offend, and he is also very generous. If we can help, we will do so. Didn't it say so on the telegram? Those people from the Peking Special High School were quietly hiding in Yucheng, and the Japanese army in the city didn't even know they were here.
We secretly sent people to do it for them. The islanders here have no responsibility and may not even be able to investigate. We don't have any big risks. "
Yan Guiwu said: "What you said makes sense. But in this hurry, who should we send to do it? It is too late to transfer people from outside the city. Although we have many close friends in the city, they are by our side after all. If these people go, if an accident happens and they fall into the hands of the islanders, wouldn't it mean that we are also exposed?"
Wang Shuhuai said: "Master, you don't have to worry about this. I am familiar with all the three religions and streams in the city, and there are people I can trust.
Our people don't have to come forward to do this. I'll find someone to do it. I won't expose the identities of the section chiefs of Peking University and the others. I just say it's a personal grudge and ask my friends to send someone to do it without leaving any survivors. After this matter is over, let the people involved in the operation leave Yucheng. There will be no trouble. "
Hearing this, Yan Guiwu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "What you said makes sense. Xu Dalong is a righteous man and a good friend. Since we have been asked to help him, we must help him no matter what."
Just arrange this matter, be cautious, and don't leave any clues. "
Wang Shuhuai nodded and said: "Master, don't worry. I can trust my friend. This person has a very strict reputation. Even if something really goes wrong, he won't expose us."
Wang Shuhuai came out of Yan Guiwu's residence, quietly left the 4th Division's headquarters, went to find his friends in the world, and put the matter aside.
Since the section chief of Peiping Super High School accepted the task of targeting Xu Dalong, he came from the prosperous and comfortable city of Beiping to the small place of Yucheng, and he felt very aggrieved. Fortunately, under his leadership, the latent work made some progress, and an intelligence team was successfully deployed in the Mawushan base area. Tang Wenlin also assassinated Zhao Gang and provided the Central China Front with Xu Dalong's whereabouts to Xiangcheng. This time again He accurately provided information that the Mawushan Military Division was about to attack Yucheng. These achievements were enough for him to give an explanation to his superiors.
Originally, he heard that troops from the Mahushan Military Division were coming to attack Yucheng. He was worried that he would be in danger in Yucheng, so he planned to leave Yucheng.
