Before these things were investigated clearly, another murder occurred in the bathhouse. A total of seven people, including the shopkeeper, were killed. The murderer did not use guns or even any sharp weapons. All the people who were killed were killed with bare hands. This scene is too terrifying.
The pseudo-police from the Third Branch provided information that the person who kidnapped Guo Daming's wife and child was called "Mountain Eagle".
The Super High School Section Chief has been engaged in intelligence work in Beiping City for several years. He has a lot of information on all aspects. He has never heard of a person named "Mountain Eagle". It is obvious that someone is pretending to be one.
This group of people was so powerful that none of the more than 100 pseudo-policemen brought by Guo Daming survived. They were very ruthless, and many pseudo-policemen were killed at close range. It was obvious that someone shot them again after they were injured.
As for using fists and kicks to kill the gangsters in the bathhouse, it was probably the same group of people who did it.
Xu Dalong and others exchanged Sangmu Jianyi for the intelligence personnel of the Peking underground party. This matter was handled by Hamasaki Colonel. He can now basically conclude the kidnapping of Han family members, the killing of pseudo-policemen and the killing of bathhouse gangsters, etc. It was all done by Xu Dalong and his special forces team.
After coming to this conclusion, he came to see the military police commander Matsuda and reported his guess to Matsuda.
Matsuda is experienced and his analysis and judgment are the same as Hamasaki. He also believed that Xu Dalong and others were currently operating in the Beiping area, and that he might even be in the city himself, which made them very nervous.
Matsuda asked Hamasaki to put aside other things at hand and go all out to deal with Xu Dalong. If Xu Dalong can be caught in Beiping City, it will be a great achievement.
After discussion, the two decided that the Special High School Division would send a large number of military and police officers to search for clues about Xu Dalong in the city and suburbs.
The Japanese army had a lot of information about Xu Dalong. He had appeared in newspapers and took a large number of photos in the special high school. Although the effect is not that good, if you compare it with the person, you will definitely be able to recognize it.
The Japanese and puppet special agents were running around holding Xu Dalong's photo. The Military Police Headquarters has issued a reward, and the reward is as high as one hundred thousand oceans, which is an absolutely huge sum of money in this era.
The Japanese and puppet agents all want to make a fortune, so they act very actively.
Since the Japanese and puppets focused their main energy on dealing with Xu Dalong, they temporarily relaxed their tracking of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. This greatly eased the pressure on the underground party in Beiping, and even the military reunification became much more relaxed.
The Military Command Peiping Station reported the news of Xu Dalong's appearance in Peiping and the actions taken by the Japanese and puppets to the Military Command Headquarters. The boss of Juntong, You Yukun and others were very concerned about Xu Dalong and sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, reminding him to pay attention to safety and saying that if necessary, the Juntong Beiping Station could provide assistance to Xu Dalong and others' actions.
Xu Dalong quickly responded to the telegram, reporting that they were safe and expressing his gratitude.
Yang Zhanxiong has been working with Xu Dalong and others. Of course, he is very aware of the Japanese and puppet actions against Xu Dalong in Beiping City.
He has rich experience in underground work and believes that if Xu Dalong is active in Beiping City at this time, there will be great risks.
He suggested that Xu Dalong and others leave Peiping temporarily.
Li Changshui also had the same opinion. He also suggested that Xu Dalong temporarily change places and return to Peiping after a while, after the intensity of the Japanese and puppet searches has weakened.
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall, and Xu Dalong is not a reckless person. He followed the advice of Yang Zhanxiong and Li Changshui, but he refused to leave Peiping like this, appearing as if he was afraid of the Japanese and puppet troops.
He carefully reviewed the detailed information on Japanese and puppet personnel provided by Yang Zhanxiong and proposed a plan.
After everyone listened, they all agreed. Xu Dalong and others came to Xiangshan as their first stop.
Under the guidance of Yang Zhanxiong, Monk Wei sent a special force team to investigate the situation in the Xiangshan area. There was no Japanese garrison in this area, only a pseudo police station.
At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Xu Dalong and others arrived near the pseudo police station.
Considering that the puppet army knew that Xu Dalong brought cavalry, the Japanese and puppet personnel would be alert when they saw the cavalry, so they dismounted in advance, and a squad leader of the special operations brigade led a squad of special operations members in disguise. The soldiers of the Japanese army came to the puppet police station.
The pseudo-policemen had indeed received notice from their superiors that Xu Dalong's guerrillas were operating in the Peiping area. They were told to be more vigilant. If they found that the cavalry troops were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army or the Japanese army, they should quickly report to their superiors. report.
They saw guerrillas wearing Japanese military uniforms approaching on foot, so they relaxed their vigilance.
The pseudo-police chief came forward to greet him with a smile on his face, but was easily disarmed by the special forces team members.
According to Xu Da's plan, he planned to stay here for a morning. If Japanese and puppet personnel come to visit, they will hijack and extort ransom.
Now that the pseudo police station has been controlled, the guerrillas have been ambushed near the road up the mountain. Xu Dalong and others had nothing to do, so they simply went up the mountain to visit Xiangshan.
Xiangshan in Peiping, also known as Jingyi Garden, was built in the 26th year of Dading in Jin Dynasty (1186). It is located at the eastern foot of Xiaoxishan Mountain in the northwest suburb of BJ, 20 kilometers away from Beiping City, covering an area of 188 hectares and an altitude of 575 meters. , is a large mountain forest park with royal garden characteristics.
In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, separate palaces were built here, which served as a place for royals to stay during their visits. In the 10th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, pavilions, pavilions, palaces and pavilions were built here, making it a famous 28 scenic spots in the capital. Later, walls were built and named "Jingyi Garden", ranking among the "Three Mountains and Five Gardens" in western Beijing. Later, it was burned and looted by the British, French and Eight-Power Allied Forces.
There are more than 260,000 trees of various types in the park, and there are more than 5,800 ancient and famous trees alone, accounting for about a quarter of the urban area of Beiping. In the park, people and nature live in harmony, with birds chirping and insects chirping, and squirrels playing in the ravines and forests. Here the flowers are blooming in spring, the summer is cool and pleasant, and the winter is covered with snow. Especially in late autumn, 100,000 cotinus trees are in full swing and majestic.
It is late autumn at this time, and the red leaves all over the mountains are extremely gorgeous and beautiful. It is a pity that after being burned twice by the British and French Allied Forces and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, the Xiangshan Mountain at this time was very dilapidated and in ruins, which was sad.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, everyone was very emotional. Li Changshui sighed, shook his head and said: "The great rivers and mountains are picturesque, but it is a pity that they have been trampled under the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders. It is sad and regretful."
Li Qiulin said bitterly: "How much good land have these damn little devils taken up in China? Only by severely attacking the Japanese invaders and driving them back to their hometown can the common people live a peaceful life."
Xu Dalong visited Xiangshan many times in his previous life. To be honest, later generations artificially added many elements to the need to generate tourism income. On the contrary, the natural and simple scenery at that time was more comfortable. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
Monk Wei asked: "Master Long, what are you thinking about?"
Of course, Xu Dalong couldn't tell him that he was thinking about tourism development in the future. He smiled and said casually: "Qiulin is right, we will drive out the little devil sooner or later."
The special operations team members laid an ambush on the way up the mountain for a long time, but unfortunately they gained nothing. After all, this is a time of war. Although it is the best time to appreciate the red leaves of Xiangshan Mountain, there are very few people visiting the mountain. The Japanese and puppet personnel in Peking City have already received news that Xu Dalong's troops are wandering around Peiping, so no one dares to visit Xiangshan.
As a result, they only caught a few grassroots personnel on the Japanese and puppet side, and they didn't have much leverage. After reprimanding them, they let them go.
According to the plan, Xu Dalong specially showed his face in front of the fake policemen, educated them, and let them go.
Their purpose was to get the pseudo-policemen to report to the devils in the city that Xu Dalong had appeared in Xiangshan.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and others left Xiangshan, and their second stop came to Xiaotangshan.
Xiaotangshan is famous for its hot springs. After the islanders came, it became a place for senior Japanese and puppet officials to rest.
That night, Xu Dalong and others raided Xiaotangshan Nursing Home and eliminated two classes of Japs and a small team of pseudo-policemen.
This time, we finally made some gains and captured a Japanese colonel, two lieutenants, two island businessmen, and several officials from the Zheng Department of Peking City who were recuperating here.
They still extort ransom from the island country in the name of "Mountain Eagle". Some of the family members of the Japanese and puppet personnel directly sent people to pay for the ransom, and some reported it to the military police headquarters and asked them to help save the people.
The news soon reached Sangmu Jianyi's ears.
After he was exchanged, he originally wanted to return to China to recuperate, but his brother-in-law told him that he could not leave Peiping now. The news that he was captured and exchanged was strictly sealed within the Japanese army for the sake of his future.
Sangmu Jianyi must appear in front of people immediately to quell the rumors among the Japanese army. He said he was unwilling to return to Baoding and become the brigade commander, so Juichi Terauchi arranged for him to be sent to the North China Front Army Headquarters as a senior combat staff officer.
Sang Mujian was defeated by Xu Dalong and captured by Xu Dalong. This incident made him feel very humiliated and hated Xu Dalong deeply.
When he heard that Xu Dalong appeared in Xiaotangshan, he came to see his brother-in-law and asked to send troops to Xiaotangshan to capture Xu Dalong and others.
Shouyi in the temple also hated Xu Dalong very much, so he agreed to Sangmu Jianyi's suggestion and asked Sangmu Jianyi to personally lead the troops to Xiaotangshan.
Unexpectedly, Sang Mu Jianyi, a weakling like him, could just slap the wind behind his back and light a will-o'-the-wisp. He was asked to personally lead the troops to fight Xu Dalong, but he gave up on the spot and refused to go no matter what.
Terauchi Shouichi looked down upon this incompetent brother-in-law at all, so he sent another combat staff officer to lead an entire infantry brigade to Xiaotangshan in a car. He knew that Xu Dalong's special forces team was powerful. To be on the safe side, he also sent a tank squadron to Xiaotangshan in six armored vehicles.
The underground party organization in Peiping has been paying close attention to the actions of the Japanese army. The intelligence agent discovered that a Japanese army convoy was heading towards Changping, and sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, reminding them that the Japanese army might be targeting them.
Xu Dalong and others came here to make a fortune, and they did not want to fight the Japanese army. Hearing that Japanese troops were coming to Xiaotangshan, Xu Dalong and others quickly evacuated.
They crossed Badaling, creating the illusion that they had left Peiping. Xu Dalong originally thought that the Japanese army would not continue to pursue him, but he did not expect that the Japanese army followed him closely and even left the Great Wall.
Not only that, the Japanese army also contacted the local Japanese and puppet troops and asked them to provide the whereabouts of Xu Dalong and others.
Xu Dalong and the others were all cavalry, and their targets were relatively large. It was difficult to completely hide their whereabouts, so it was difficult to get rid of the Japanese troops who were tracking them for a while.
Seeing how disgusted the Japanese army was, both Monk Wei and Li Qiulin felt a little suffocated and asked to stay and fight to eat the Japanese soldiers who were following them.
Xu Dalong discussed with Li Changshui and decided to fight in Huailai County to kill the tail behind him.
Li Changshui got in touch with the underground party organization in Huailai through the superiors of the underground party. The local underground party organization was very happy to hear that the famous Xu Dalou had come to Huailai County and hurriedly came to meet Xu Dalong and others.
That afternoon, Xu Dalong and others were marching when they saw a carriage parked on the roadside ahead. Three people stood beside the carriage and looked towards them.
Li Qiulin was responsible for clearing the way ahead. He had already learned from Li Changshui the physical characteristics of the relevant personnel from the local underground party organization who came to greet them, and judged that these three people should be the people sent by the underground party to contact them.
After all, Li Qiulin was wearing a Japanese military uniform. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he ordered the special forces behind him to stop advancing. He stepped forward alone and stopped six or seventy meters away from the carriage in front, heading towards The three men waved.
The three people hesitated for a while, and then one of them walked towards Li Qiulin.
Li Qiulin asked: "Are you comrades from the underground party in Huailai County? Is Comrade Du Yunpeng here?"
The person who came was the traffic officer of the underground party in Huailai County. When he heard Li Qiulin accurately reporting his identity, he said happily: "Are they the comrades of the Mawushan guerrillas? Is Captain Xu here?"
Li Qiulin jumped off his horse, took a step forward and said, "We are from the Mawushan guerrillas. Captain Xu is right behind."
The visitor was very happy, turned around, and waved vigorously to the two people next to the carriage. When the two people saw the connection, they hurried over and greeted Li Qiulin warmly.
Soon, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui, surrounded by the team members, also rushed over, and the two sides introduced each other.
The leader of the group of visitors was thirty-four or five-year-old, with a medium build, ordinary appearance, and was dressed like an old country farmer. He was Du Yunpeng, the head of the underground party in Huailai County.
