Therefore, Xu Dalong kept fighting and never broke away from contact with the Japanese and puppet troops.
His physique is different from ordinary people. Without strenuous activity, the injury on his shoulder can stop bleeding automatically. However, if he exercised violently, blood would still seep out.
Xu Dalong couldn't care less and continued to lure the Japanese and puppet troops forward. When he led the Japanese and puppet troops more than 1,000 meters away, he ran towards the depths of the dense forest.
He ran so fast that he soon escaped the sight of the Japanese and puppet troops. He paused for a moment, briefly tending to the wound.
Xu Dalong was worried that the Japanese and puppet troops would search for the other two special forces members, so he fired a few more shots into the sky to remind the Japanese and puppet troops that he was in this direction. Instead of waiting for them, he continued running deep into the mountains. When he ran seven or eight hundred meters, he fired again. He was worried that the Japs wouldn't hear him, so he threw a grenade.
In this way, Xu Dalong lured the Japanese and puppet troops to run for seven or eight kilometers. He felt that if he kept running like this, his body would soon be unable to bear it, so he stopped making any noise and continued to run forward until he was sure that he was out of the Japanese army. After being tracked by the puppet troops, they stopped to rest.
He treated his wounds again and ate something to replenish his energy.
Xu Dalong rested and felt that his physical strength had been restored. Then he identified the direction and continued to move towards the border.
He thought he had drawn away the Japanese and puppet troops and covered the evacuation of the two special forces members. What he didn't expect was that these Japanese and puppet troops were not stupid either.
After the Japanese and puppet troops tracked Xu Dalong for a period of time, they determined that he was a person. The Japanese and puppet troops allocated part of their force to search for the other two special forces members. Soon they found the blood stains on the ground and searched all the way.
The special forces team members were injured in their legs and could not walk fast. They were eventually found by the Japanese and puppet troops. The injured special operations team member knew that he could not leave. He did not want to injure the other special operations team member and urged him to leave quickly, but that team member refused to give up on him.
As a result, the injured special forces member put a shell gun to his head and forced the other member to leave. The team member had no choice but to escape alone.
The injured special operations team member planned to stop the Japanese and puppet troops. After he killed a Japanese and a puppet soldier, he was surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops wanted to find out the origins of these people, so they shouted to him to surrender.
The special forces team members were too lazy to pay attention to them, so they fired at them and eliminated another Japanese. The Japanese and puppet troops shot at the special forces team member one after another. He was hit by several bullets and lay on the ground motionless.
The Japanese and puppet troops surrounded them one after another. The special operations team members used their last strength to detonate two grenades and died together with several Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong went all the way north. He had dry food in his backpack, and he could also find spring water in the mountains and forests. There was no problem with his diet, but it was very dangerous when he was resting. He was alone. No one was watching when he was sleeping, let alone encountering the sun. If you are a puppet army, you will be in danger even if you encounter wolves, tigers and leopards.
When he was really tired from walking, he found a big tree, climbed up, fixed himself to the branch with a rope, and fell asleep in a daze.
Suddenly he was startled by a sound. He opened his eyes and saw that it was already dark. The sound came from under the tree. By the moonlight, he saw a dark guy under the tree, which frightened him at that time.
Xu Dalong observed carefully and saw a pair of glowing eyes and the reflection of the teeth. It turned out to be a huge black bear.
The black bear's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it has long discovered Xu Dalong on the tree. It stood up and tried to catch Xu Dalong, but the tree was relatively tall and out of reach. Then it tried to shake the trunk, hoping to shake Xu Dalong down. But this tree is very strong, and although its strength is great, it only causes the trunk to sway slightly.
Seeing that it could not succeed, it roared lowly at Xu Dalong.
Xu Changlong was very worried. He was not afraid of the black bear, but he was afraid that the black bear's roar would alert the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese and puppet army's mountain expedition team has many people and weapons in their hands. They are not afraid of black bears. It is not easy for them to go into the mountains and sweep once, and they will probably catch some prey. A black bear can be sold for a lot of money.
Xu Dalong quickly installed a silencer on his sniper rifle and aimed at the black bear's open mouth. The bullet was shot in, and the black bear was hit and roared louder.
Xu Dalong quickly fired several shots and killed the black bear.
He didn't dare to stay here anymore, so he got down from the tree and continued north.
Xu Dalong walked for two days and one night, but did not see the Japanese and puppet troops on the way. He stopped and walked, not knowing how far he had gone or whether he had left the border.
This morning, Xu Dalong woke up and continued on his way. He climbed up a hillside and looked forward. There was a plain in front of him. From a distance, there were buildings, which looked like a village.
He took out his binoculars and observed carefully. Soon after, he saw a group of people wearing uniforms of the Su army, walking towards Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong was very happy. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he quickly took off his Japanese uniforms, threw them away, put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and walked towards the small Soviet army.
Seeing that the Soviet officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, Xu Dalong was worried about causing misunderstanding, so he put all the weapons and ammunition aside and shouted in the language of the Soviet army: "Comrade Hong Jun, please don't shoot! I am a member of the Chinese underground party." People from the Eighth Route Army, please don’t shoot!”
Hearing Xu Dalong's shouts, the officers and soldiers of the Su Army were very vigilant. They quickly dispersed and pointed their guns in Xu Dalong's direction.
Xu Dalong shouted again and showed his identity.
At this time, someone shouted to him: "The people in front raise their hands and stand up."
Xu Dalong raised his hands and stood up. The Soviet officers and soldiers quickly ran over and surrounded him, and then someone took away the sniper rifle and backpack he left on the ground.
The Su army team was led by a second lieutenant. He asked vigilantly: "Who are you and why are you here?"
Xu Dalong was unclear about the identities of these people, and he did not dare to reveal his true identity, so he said: "Comrade officer, I am from the Songshan guerrillas of the Chinese underground party. I was assigned by my superiors to support our guerrillas here. "
The Sujun second lieutenant knew that he could not verify Xu Dalong's identity, so he decided to send someone to take Xu Dalong back and hand it over to his superiors.
Soon after, Xu Dalong was taken to a military camp. The top commander here was a company commander of the Soviet border guard. He was also unable to identify Xu Dalong and sent someone to escort him to a regiment headquarters.
The person in charge of interrogating him was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Soviet Army, who was the deputy Zheng committee member of the regiment. Xu Dalong still did not dare to reveal his true identity, but asked him to use the radio to contact the underground party superiors.
Lieutenant Colonel Su Jun agreed to Xu Dalong's request and sent a telegram to his superiors, asking them to verify Xu Dalong's identity.
For the next two days, Xu Dalong was imprisoned. The Su army did not mistreat him, they just imprisoned him and did not allow him to go out.
As soon as he came, he would be in peace. Xu Dalong asked the Su soldiers on guard to help him find a book for him to pass the time.
At noon that day, Xu Dalong heard footsteps outside the door, belonging to several people, and felt that he might be in contact with the guerrillas.
Sure enough, when the door opened, in addition to the deputy political commissar of the Su Army, there were two Chinese people also wearing uniforms of the Su Army.
The leader said: "I am Li Jiazhong, director of the Zhengzhi Division of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Force outside the customs. Please explain your identity."
Xu Dalong said: "I am the column leader of the Songshan Guerrilla Column, Xu Dalong."
"What, you are Comrade Xu Dalong?"
Li Jiazhong was shocked. He looked at Xu Dalong carefully and felt that he looked familiar. The superiors have described Xu Dalong's appearance and characteristics to them, and they are basically consistent with the Xu Dalong in front of them.
Xu Dalong nodded and said, "I am Xu Dalong."
Li Jiazhong quickly stood at attention and saluted, and said respectfully: "Hello, captain!" Then he shook hands with Xu Dalong warmly.
He said with some embarrassment: "Captain Xu, I'm really sorry. We still need to verify your identity."
Xu Dalong expressed his understanding and asked Li Jiazhong to ask questions.
Li Jiazhong asked about the names of the main leaders of the Songshan guerrillas, their ages, origins, the main leaders of the Mawushan Military Division, and the trajectory of Xu Dalong's recent activities. Xu Dalong answered them all one by one.
Li Jiazhong already believed 80% that what Xu Dalong said was true. He communicated with the Soviet Lieutenant Colonel, invited Xu Dalong to the conference room, and then sent a telegram to his superiors to verify the situation provided by Xu Dalong.
Soon after, his superiors sent a telegram proving that what Xu Dalong said was accurate.
At this time, Li Jiazhong and the guerrillas who came with him became excited. They stood up together to salute Xu Dalong and greeted him cordially.
Lieutenant Colonel Su Jun didn't understand why these guerrillas respected a young man like Xu Dalong so much. After asking about the situation, he couldn't help but be awe-struck, gave Xu Dalong a military salute, and greeted Xu Dalong respectfully. He then reported the situation to his superiors.
Li Jiazhong is preparing to accompany Xu Dalong to the guerrilla camp. However, Xie Lov, the deputy commissioner of the Soviet Army, came in with several officers of the Soviet Army. They greeted Xu Dalong warmly and hoped that Xu Dalong could stay here temporarily, because they had received orders from their superiors to retain Xu Dalong, and their superiors had sent People rushed over to meet Xu Dalong.
Li Jiazhong had no choice but to send people back to the camp to inform leaders such as so-and-so and rush over to meet Xu Dalong.
Soon after, Su Zhenning, Gao Yongde and other guerrilla leaders arrived, and they all respected Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong had deep respect for these anti-Japanese heroes who persisted outside the customs all year round, and heartily expressed his admiration for them.
Seeing Xu Dalong's attitude, everyone became more respectful and close to him.
Since the Soviet Army needed the support of the Songshan guerrillas, the Soviet Far East Front also attached great importance to Xu Dalong. In the afternoon of that day, many generals from the Far East Front came to meet Xu Dalong and listened to Xu Dalong's relevant introduction.
Xu Dalong knew what these Soviet generals wanted to know, so he introduced them in a clear and logical manner.
Xu Dalong introduced the Japanese army, especially the Kwantung Army's organization, troop and firepower configuration, tactical characteristics, and the fighting will of the officers and soldiers, as well as the relevant situation of the puppet Manchukuo army, especially the permanent fortifications built by the Japanese army on the border.
This information was not provided by the underground party, but compiled by Xu Dalong based on historical data. This information was urgently needed by the Soviet army. They dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel and paid a huge price, but the information they obtained was very fragmented and one-sided. Xu Dalong was able to provide such complete and detailed information, which made the Su army feel like a treasure.
Xu Dalong introduced the comprehensive situation of the contributions made by the Chinese underground party, the Eighth Route Army, and the New Fourth Army in the Anti-Japanese War, the construction of anti-Japanese base areas, and the development and growth of the army. Xu Dalong introduced the situation of the Songshan guerrillas in great detail, fully demonstrating the strategic and tactical level and strong strength of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.
This also attracted great attention from the Su army. To be honest, they used to look down upon the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces, but now they have a new understanding of the underground party's strength, which has enhanced their willingness to cooperate with the underground party.
The Soviet Far East Front already had plans to cooperate with the Songshan guerrillas, so they did their homework and had a basic understanding of the leaders of the Songshan guerrillas, especially Xu Dalong.
They were very interested in Xu Dalong's brilliant achievements in China, and invited Xu Dalong to explain past battles to them.
Xu Dalong told the story of several large-scale battles won by the Mawushan guerrillas and Songshan guerrillas. The brilliant achievements and superb tactical level achieved by Xu Dalong and the guerrillas were unanimously recognized by the Su army generals.
After listening to Xu Dalong's introduction, the commanders of the anti-Japanese guerrillas outside the customs were all excited, full of expectations for returning to the country and fighting against the island nation's invaders.
The Su army warmly entertained Xu Dalong, expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation with the Songshan guerrillas, and promised to provide them with as much weapons, ammunition and material assistance as possible.
After bidding farewell to the Su army, Xu Dalong, accompanied by Li Jiazhong and others, came to the guerrilla camp and met with the guerrillas.
The team members were gathered to attend the welcome meeting for Xu Dalong. These guerrilla veterans had been looking forward to returning to their country to fight the war for a long time, and they all looked at Xu Dalong curiously.
Li Jiazhong introduced enthusiastically: "Comrades, the higher-level party organizations have always been concerned about us guerrillas who are living abroad. Comrade Xu Dalong, the captain of the Songshan Guerrilla Column, has come to greet us in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guerrillas burst into warm applause.
