Xu Dalong was very interested in Su Zhenning's proposal. He also believed that since the Japanese and puppet troops were already prepared, it would be difficult to go directly to the Songshan guerrilla zone. They are now fighting far away from the rear, and the supplies they carry cannot last long. Once encountering a large-scale siege by the Japanese and puppet troops, the special detachment is in danger of being wiped out.
He thought about it again and again, made a decision, and sent a telegram to the commander of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
After receiving the telegram, Officer Sling also asked his superiors for instructions. The superior agreed to Xu Dalong's plan, and the commander sent a telegram back to Xu Dalong, asking him to implement it as planned.
Li Yunlong received a telegram from Commander S, requesting that two main regiments be transferred from the Mawushan Military Division, plus a supplementary regiment, to Songshan to join the Songshan guerrillas.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others resolutely carried out the order. Instead of sending two main regiments and a supplementary regiment, they simply dispatched three main regiments, a medical team and a military industry team, carrying a large amount of supplies, led by Zhang Dabiao. The team headed for the Songshan guerrillas.
Guan Zhenshan received a telegram from Xu Dalong, requesting the Songshan guerrillas to send some troops to contain the Japanese Second Division, concentrate the main force to attack the Japanese 22nd Division again, and cooperate with the actions of Xu Dalong and others .
Xu Dalong had a full conversation with the Soviet Army Liaison Group and the Ordnance Industry Group. He expressed his willingness to provide intelligence and some military technology to the Soviet Army free of charge, in exchange for the Soviet Army, agreeing to the activities of the special detachment along the border, and providing materials and other assistance to the special detachment. If necessary, he can retreat again. The Su army's defense zone.
The Soviet army was originally very afraid of the Kwantung Army. Through Xu Dalong's judgment of the situation, coupled with the Soviet army's own judgment of the international situation, they also believed that the Japanese army had begun to decline in all battlefields. In this case , the Kwantung Army did not have the ability to go to war with the Su Army.
Not only that, the more the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party outside the Guan Dynasty make a noise, the more they will be able to contain the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army will not be able to attack the Soviet Army. Therefore, the Soviet Far Eastern Front agreed to a special detachment to fight the Japanese army near the border.
The information Xu Dalong provided last time has been verified by the Su Army and is almost completely correct. This made the Soviet Army fully affirm Xu Dalong's ability to provide intelligence. Xu Dalong's capabilities in military industry also attracted great interest from the Su Army's military industry department. After their persuasion, the Far Eastern Front also agreed to provide personnel and material assistance to the special detachment.
In recent years, due to wars, a large number of Chinese people have crossed the border from outside the customs and entered the Far East. The Soviet army agreed that the special detachment would recruit new soldiers among these immigrants to join the guerrillas.
After making these preparations, Xu Dalong, Wei Dayong, Su Zhenning, Gao Yongde and others led the guerrillas and launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops who set up a blockade in the valley did not understand the movements of the guerrillas. They placed their troops there during the day just as a show to deal with their superiors.
When it was time for dinner, they retracted their troops and had dinner in the Japanese and puppet army's stronghold. This stronghold could not accommodate so many people, so the Japanese and puppet troops who came during the day quickly left.
At midnight, according to Xu Dalong's arrangement, Su Zhenning led 400 guerrillas to leave the camp first. An hour later, Wei Dayong led a special operations squadron and two hundred guerrillas to leave the camp, used the darkness to surround the Japanese and puppet army's stronghold, and then launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet army.
After the battle started, Wei Monk's special operations squadron did not take action, and the battle was entirely carried out by the guerrillas.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were attacked. The firepower of the enemy troops outside was unclear. It was estimated that the number of the enemy troops was two to three hundred. Since they could not see clearly at night, they could only estimate the enemy's strength slightly, reported a number of about 500 people, and urgently requested help from the Japanese and puppet troops in the county.
The Japanese and puppet troops who left during the day learned that their stronghold had been attacked and hurriedly gathered their troops to come for reinforcements.
Su Zhenning and his guerrillas were lying in ambush on both sides of the road, preparing to ambush the Japanese and puppet reinforcements. This is the first battle they have fought in two years and the first battle since returning to China.
Although they were all veteran guerrillas who had experienced hundreds of battles, they were still a little excited at this time. Their moods are also a bit complicated. On the one hand, they want to avenge the Japanese and puppet troops. On the other hand, they are now fighting with Xu Dalong and the special operations squadron he brought. They want to fight a good battle and win the battle between Xu Dalong and the special operations squadron. The respect of the team members.
"Puff, puff, puff." A rapid blowing sound came from the walkie-talkie. This was a signal from the scouts in front, indicating that Japanese reinforcements had arrived.
Su Zhenning was very excited and hurriedly passed the order to get the troops ready for battle.
Twenty minutes later, a large group of Japanese and puppet troops finally came over, and they all ran forward panting.
These old guerrillas outside the customs have very rich combat experience and very stable psychological quality. In previous battles, due to lack of ammunition, in order to effectively use those precious bullets, they often placed Japanese and puppet troops at a very close distance before shooting.
They had sufficient ammunition for this battle, but they still maintained the habit of previous battles. The guerrillas lay quietly beside the road, waiting for all the Japanese and puppet troops to enter their ambush circle. At this time, they were only forty or fifty meters away from the Japanese and puppet troops. No one in the guerrillas was panicked, and the Japanese and puppet troops were not aware of it.
Su Zhenning raised his pistol, fired a shot at the marching column of the Japanese and puppet troops, and shouted: "Fire."
The guerrillas had already exerted their energy and swept their bullets at the Japanese and puppet troops like a wind.
The Japanese and puppet troops suffered a sudden attack and were caught off guard. They were beaten to their knees and suffered heavy casualties.
Su Zhenning even forgot that he had enough ammunition in his hands, but still maintained his old fighting habit. Not long after the fire attack started, he jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, charge!"
The guerrillas jumped up from the ground, shouted, and rushed towards the Japanese and puppet troops on the road.
Su Zhenning and his guerrillas are worthy of being anti-Japanese veterans. They have experienced hundreds of battles, have rich combat experience and full of hatred for the Japanese invaders. They fight extremely bravely, and the distance of tens of meters is fleeting. Then the Japanese and puppet troops were divided into several sections.
The Japanese and puppet troops here have not fought for many years. They are no match for the guerrillas. In addition, they were suddenly attacked and could not organize effective resistance at all. They were quickly beaten to pieces and scattered. And escape.
The battle ended quickly. Except for some Japanese and puppet troops who escaped due to darkness, the guerrillas eliminated more than 180 Japanese troops and more than 260 puppet troops, and had a hearty fight. Great victory.
The guerrillas were forced to leave their homeland. They knew that the Japanese invaders were occupying their beloved hometown, but they were unable to do anything. Today they finally had a chance to avenge these hateful Japanese and puppet troops. Their long-suppressed emotions were released, and cheers of victory broke out.
Su Zhenning shouted some slogans excitedly, and then ordered the troops to seize the time to clean the battlefield. Then he called Wei Dayong and told him that he had defeated the Japanese and puppet reinforcements, and then led the team to meet up with Wei Dayong and the others.
After receiving the good news from Su Zhenning, Wei Dayong sent a correspondent to convey the good news to the special forces and guerrillas.
The special forces members didn't care, but the guerrillas were extremely excited and asked their superiors to fight, demanding to capture the enemy's stronghold in front.
Wei Dayong gave the order to attack, and the special forces members were already impatient. After hearing the order, they also joined the attack.
When the guerrillas launched a feint attack on the Japanese and puppet strongholds, the special operations team members had already memorized all the enemy's firepower points and prepared for the attack in advance.
After receiving the order to attack, they immediately opened fire violently at the firepower points of the Japanese and puppet troops. Those rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless rifles exerted great power. The enemy's firepower points were quickly destroyed one by one, and the enemy's firepower quickly weakened a lot.
The special forces and guerrillas took the opportunity to launch a charge and soon broke into the enemy's stronghold.
From the time Wei Dayong issued the order to attack, it took less than 15 minutes for the special forces and guerrillas to annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold.
After the battle, according to the prepared battle plan, Su Zhenning called a squadron leader of the guerrillas and asked him to take 50 members, plus a special operations team member, through the valley in front and into where they were originally. The familiar forest. Their mission is to continue south and pretend to join the Songshan guerrillas to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Xu Dalong, Su Zhenning and others then led the main force of the special detachment back to the border.
The remaining guerrilla captain was named Xu Tao. He was originally Su Zhenning's guard and was trained by him. Even though he is only 25 years old this year, he is already a veteran member of the guerrillas for ten years.
He led the 50 remaining guerrillas all the way south, and in the early morning, they attacked a Japanese and puppet army stronghold. Then they continued to go south, constantly attacking the Japanese and puppet troops along the way, creating the illusion that the special detachment was going south to cover up the real intention of the special detachment.
The Japanese and puppet troops suffered a serious blow. Based on the trajectory of the guerrillas' activities, they concluded that the main force of the guerrillas was heading south to join the Songshan guerrillas, so they mobilized a large number of Japanese and puppet troops to pursue and intercept them.
The special detachment returned along the same route without encountering almost any interference, and soon arrived near the border.
Xu Dalong and others did not rush to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. Instead, they established many secret camps in the mountains, preparing to rely on the vast mountains and forests to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops.
Kalinin also contacted the Soviet Far East Front and asked them to station a regiment of Soviet troops on the border. Their mission was to prevent the Japanese troops from crossing the border in case the guerrillas needed to retreat into the Soviet defense zone.
After all preparations were made, Xu Dalong, Su Zhenning and others launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
After Li Yingxiang and four guerrillas found the guerrillas, they originally wanted to fight for revenge against the Japanese and puppet troops. They did not expect that the special detachment would be bent on going south, which inevitably disappointed them. After all, they have been fighting in this area for so many years and don't want to leave here. But they are guerrillas and must obey the discipline of the organization, but they feel unhappy in their hearts.
When the special detachment returned north, they thought the special detachment was going to withdraw from the country again, and they were even more disappointed. Therefore, they proposed to Su Zhenning to leave the special detachment and stay to continue fighting guerrillas.
Of course, Su Zhenning did not agree to their request. He just told them that there were plenty of opportunities to fight against the Japanese and asked them to obey the organization's arrangements.
That night, Li Yingxiang and others, who had been incorporated into the guerrillas, received orders to attack the Japanese and puppet troops outside the mountain. They all became excited. They were familiar with this area and volunteered to serve as guides.
That night, Wei Dayong and Su Zhenning each led 100 special forces members and more than 200 guerrillas, walked out of the mountains and forests, and launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops did not expect that the special detachment would appear in this area. They had no time to make any arrangements and were caught off guard.
The special forces and guerrillas led by Wei Dayong and Su Zhenning captured four group tribes overnight and liberated tens of thousands of people.
The guerrillas now have sufficient weapons, ammunition and logistical supplies. They actively mobilized young adults to join the guerrillas, and recruited more than 500 new fighters to join the guerrillas in one night.
After dawn, the guerrillas did not return to the mountains and forests. Based on their experience, they knew that the Japanese and puppet troops would not be able to mobilize a large number of reinforcements in a short period of time. Therefore, they took a brief rest and continued to attack the Japanese and puppet troops. They quickly captured four more group tribes and recruited more than 600 new soldiers. Then they retreated into the mountains to rest and recuperate.
Su Zhenning and Gao Yongde have been smiling from ear to ear these days, not only because they have won several great battles, but also because the guerrillas have grown rapidly. After taking down the group tribe, 1,100 new soldiers were recruited. The Su army also recruited more than 2,000 new soldiers from the Chinese people who fled abroad and handed them over to the special detachment.
Xu Dalong handed over all these recruits to the guerrillas led by Su Zhenning and Gao Yongde. The number of troops led by them suddenly expanded to 4,000. This was several times more than the number of troops at their largest during the ten years they had been fighting. .
With sufficient material support, the training of new soldiers is much easier than before. At least during target practice, there will be no bullets for live-fire training.
Xu Dalong suspended his attack on the Japanese and puppets. He wanted to see what the Kwantung Army would do next. (End of chapter)
