The King of Shanxi accepted Chu Yun'er's father's suggestion. Cancel the avoidance of war and actively participate to expand the influence of the Shanxi-Sui Army. Therefore, the World War II District Chief's Department contacted Xu Dalong and asked to participate in this war against Japan.
Xu Dalong welcomed this and sent a telegram to Representative Wang of the Eighth Route Army's Second Theater Representative Office, asking him to contact the Jinsui Army at any time to strengthen cooperation.
Li Kun, Chief of the Operations Division of the District Governor's Department during World War II, came to the Mawushan Military Division. Xu Dalong and he were old friends and had a very close relationship. He came on behalf of the Jinsui Army and asked Xu Dalong to provide some weapons and ammunition for the Jinsui Army and to dispatch aviation to support it during combat.
Li Kun said with emotion: "Brother Dalong, when we first met, you had less than 100 men. At that time, brother, I could still provide you with some help and give you some weapons and ammunition. But now But you have developed so fast and so big, brother, I ask you in turn. Your Eighth Route Army is really too powerful."
Li Kun's words brought back Xu Dalong's memories of the past. During the difficult years of establishing the base, Li Kun indeed provided a lot of help, which made him very emotional and grateful.
Xu Dalong said: "Brother Li, we don't talk about that between brothers. We have a lifelong friendship. As long as I can help brothers, I will never refuse."
He immediately found Zhao Gang and asked him to provide weapons and ammunition for the Jinsui Army according to their needs.
Zhao Gang did not intend to make money on this, so he gave Li Kun an ex-factory price and promised that the Mahushan Military Division would provide transportation support for the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Li Kun was very grateful and insisted that the Jinsui Army be responsible for the transportation.
He said: "Brother Dalong, Commissioner Zhao Zheng, thank you for giving me this face. I can't let you lose money. We have raised part of the raw materials for military production. We can't use so much over there. When receiving weapons and ammunition, It will be transported by car as compensation for the profit you give up."
The Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column in Shanxi is in action, the troops in the Mawushan Military Division are in action, and even the Shanxi-Sui Army has made changes. These are all seen in the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka.
He believed that with only the two divisions sent by the North China Front Army, plus the troops that the Shanxi First Army could mobilize, there would be no advantage when fighting the anti-Japanese armed forces. Therefore, he sent another telegram to the North China Front, asking them to send more troops.
At the same time, he asked Chahar, who had retreated to Chifeng, to send troops back to Suiyuan to threaten the rear of the Daqingshan anti-Japanese guerrilla column.
As the enemy and we continue to mobilize their troops, a large-scale battle for coal resources in Shanxi is about to begin.
This morning, Xu Dalong was about to go to work. Lin Xueying brought a sweater over and asked Xu Dalong to put it on.
The style of this sweater is relatively ordinary, and the knitting technique is not fine enough. It can even be said to be of poor quality. However, Xu Dalong likes it very much because Lin Xueying knitted the sweater for her personally.
Lin Xueying is a wealthy lady and has never done such manual work before. In order to let Xu Dalong wear the sweater she knitted by herself, she specially learned from her lovers such as Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and others. Her skills were unfamiliar, and she was also busy at work. She had been knitting this sweater for several months, and she finally finished it today.
Xu Dalong put on his sweater and turned around for his wife to admire.
Lin Xueying said with some embarrassment: "Brother Dalong, this is my first time knitting a sweater. My skill is not high, which makes you laugh."
Xu Dalong held his wife's hand and said affectionately: "This sweater is the best gift I have ever received in my life, and it is also the most precious gift. Thank you for your hard work."
Lin Xueying spent a lot of energy on this sweater and even stayed up all night many times. Hearing what her husband said, her heart felt extremely warm. She threw herself into Xu Dalong's arms and said emotionally: "Brother Dalong, I am so happy to be your woman."
Xu Dalong did feel a little guilty about Lin Xueying.
As a rich young lady, Lin Xueying grew up in fine clothes and fine food. Even when she was working in the military command, her living standards were very high. In addition to the high salary in the military, the family also provides a large amount of financial subsidies to their only baby daughter. It can be said that she leads a generous life.
Lin Xueying joined the Eighth Route Army with Xu Dalong. In order to pay attention to the impact, the living standards of the couple must be the same as those of other ordinary Eighth Route officers and soldiers. If they have money, they cannot spend it to avoid being said to be special.
This greatly reduced Lin Xueying's living standard, but Lin Xueying never complained. She truly felt that as long as she stayed by her lover's side, everything would be worth it.
Xu Dalong gently hugged his beloved wife in his arms, but Chu Yun'er suddenly flashed in his mind. He felt guilty for both women. Because of his existence, Lin Xueying lost her good life, while Chu Yun'er was unable to have a complete love, let alone a complete family. Although Xu Dalong is extremely smart and capable, there are some things that he cannot solve no matter how hard he tries.
Xu Dalong's thoughts were a little wandering today. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Gao Zhiyong's wife and children. Gao Zhiyong, so young, gave up his precious life and left behind a young wife and young children. Life will become very difficult for the mother and daughter who have lost their support.
Now, with the care of old comrades such as Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, etc., their material lives don't have much problem. However, as the army develops in the future, the duties of comrades may change and be dispersed to other places. Without the direct care of these old comrades, it is difficult to guarantee that they will continue to enjoy better treatment in the future.
Xu Dalong asked Gao Zhiyong to go outside the customs this time. He felt very guilty about this and felt a dull pain in his heart.
Lin Xueying noticed the change in her husband's mood and asked with concern: "Brother Dalong, what happened?"
Xu Dalong talked to her about the life issues of Gao Zhiyong's wife and children after his death.
Lin Xueying said: "Brother Dalong, I have also thought about this matter. Gao Zhengwei's lover works locally. The living conditions are relatively poor. It is better to transfer her to the army and enjoy the treatment of soldiers. That would be better. .”
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "We both thought of going together. I will solve this matter when I get to the office."
The couple came to the Sling Department together and each went to his own office. When Xu Dalong passed by Zhao Gang's office, he opened the door and walked in.
Zhao Gang is an extremely serious and responsible person. He is almost always the first one to come to work every morning. When Xu Dalong entered, Zhao Gang was holding an account book. He looked up at Xu Dalong and said, "Captain, please sit down for a moment. I will finish recording the last account soon."
Xu Dalong sat down and waited patiently for Zhao Gang to finish what he was doing. Soon after, Zhao Gang put down his account book and said, "What happened?"
Xu Dalong said: "I came here for the family of martyr Gao Zhiyong. My opinion is that his loved ones need more help, and we must try to provide it for them."
Zhao Gang said: "I have no objection, where do you plan to place them?"
Xu Dalong said: "She also has a child with her. We will provide her with a leisurely job and arrange for her to work in the army."
Zhao Gang thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to handle. Let's arrange it in the agency. She has just joined the army and does not meet the conditions. The procedures are a bit difficult."
Xu Dalong said: "Martyr Gao Zhiyong made outstanding contributions to our Eighth Route Army and the Mawushan Base Area. He sacrificed himself and took special care of his wife. Others will not have any objections.
This matter is settled. If they have any objections, let them come to me. "
Zhao Gang thought for a while and said: "I understand what you mean, do you think this is okay? This period of health school students will graduate in two months. I will arrange her to join the student team and learn two Month, and then graduate with this group of students, she will have the status of a cadre. First let her go to the hospital for internship, and then transfer her to work in the agency. This can reduce a lot of troubles. "
Xu Dalong nodded and said: "You can take care of the specific matters. In short, we must take good care of the families of the martyrs."
During the morning meeting, Xu Dalong told Li Yunlong, Wang Limin, Zhang Dabiao and Huang Jingzhong about this matter. Everyone thought this should be done.
Xu Dalong said: "Martyr Gao Zhiyong is our close comrade-in-arms. I have a suggestion. In the future, our positions may change and our work units will be different. We need to keep in touch. Whoever has better conditions will have Gao Zhiyong's wife arrive." Wherever she works. Let her follow whoever can provide better help."
Everyone agreed with Xu Dalong's proposal and said that by contacting each other, they would definitely be able to take good care of the wife and daughter of martyr Gao Zhiyong.
The war was about to begin. Commander Si and the chief of staff flew to the Mawushan base area in person. Li Yunlong had already gone to the front line. Commander Si and the chief of staff summoned several cadres from the Mawushan military division at home and held a symposium to listen to Ma Wushan Military District's campaign concept in future operations, and asked if there are any difficulties, the military district can provide help.
Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang expressed on behalf of the Mawushan Military Division that there would be no difficulties and that the Mawushan Military Division was determined to repel the enemy's attack.
Commander Si Ling and the Chief of Staff were very reassured about the combat effectiveness of the Mawushan Military Division. They said they were just here to take a look and would not interfere with the combat operations of the Mawushan Military Division. If necessary, they could request reinforcements from the military region. Then the two of them said goodbye and left.
Li Yunlong sent part of his troops to attack Yucheng. After the Japanese garrison 32nd Division was attacked, he sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio requesting reinforcements.
Yoshio Shinozuka sent a telegram to the Japanese 109th Division, ordering them to send troops to reinforce Yucheng.
At the same time, a telegram was sent to the North China Front, asking them to send the Japanese 145th and 146th divisions to attack and advance in the direction of Yucheng to rescue the 32nd garrison division.
Li Yunlong received a telegram from Sun Desheng, saying that the Japanese 109th Division was attacking in the direction of Yucheng. He issued an order to Sun Desheng, asking him to lead the cavalry troops to delay the actions of the Japanese 109th Division.
At the same time, orders were given to the Eighth Route Army stationed in the direction of Licheng to send troops to reinforce Sun Desheng.
Lin Husheng was originally the leader of the Licheng County Guard Corps. After the Guard Corps was upgraded to a main force regiment, it was incorporated into the independent brigade. After receiving Li Yunlong's order, he led his troops to leave Licheng County and move toward Taikoo.
Just as they were marching to the border between Licheng County and Yushan County, they suddenly encountered a group of Japanese troops, and the two sides started a fierce battle.
This Japanese army was a reinforced infantry squadron. Lin Husheng commanded the troops to launch a siege against the Japanese army, and soon wiped out most of them. A few Japanese troops escaped the same way.
Lin Husheng felt that the location and timing of the Japanese troops' appearance were a bit unusual, so he interrogated the wounded Japanese soldiers and learned that these Japanese troops were from the 11th 3rd Division. They also dispatched an infantry brigade to rescue the garrison. 32nd Division.
Lin Husheng immediately reported this information to Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong ordered Lin Husheng to organize defense on the spot to delay the actions of the Japanese 113th Division. At the same time, a telegram was sent to Xu Dalong, who stayed in the base area, and asked him to organize troops to go to Licheng.
At this time, the main force of the Mawushan Military Division had gone out. There were only one infantry regiment, two guard regiments and some county brigades of the rapid mobile force as reserve forces in the base area. The strength was obviously insufficient.
Xu Dalong sent an infantry regiment of rapid mobile troops to assist Lin Husheng, and then sent a telegram to Li Kun, asking the Jinsui Army to send troops to contain the Japanese 113th Division.
After receiving the telegram, Li Kun immediately reported to the chief of staff. The Jinsui Army has reached a tacit understanding with the Eighth Route Army to support each other during combat. He immediately mobilized a division of the 68th Army and the 69th Army to attack the Japanese 113th Division and contain the strength of the Japanese 113th Division.
After arranging all this, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, telling him that there was no need to worry about his retreat being cut off, and that he could safely and boldly lead the main force to encircle and annihilate the Japanese reinforcements coming from the direction of Peiping.
The Japanese 113th Division encountered an attack by the Jinsui Army. They reported the situation to Shinozuka Yoshio, who ordered the 112th Division to attack the Jinsui Army to contain the Jinsui Army's forces and cooperate with them. The 113th Division fought.
Chu Yunfei had been monitoring the actions of the Japanese 112th Division. When he saw them dispatching, he directly sent troops to attack the Japanese 112th Division without saying hello to Xu Dalong.
The Zhongtiao Mountain Command also dispatched some troops to join the attack on the Japanese 112th Division.
At this time, war broke out in parts of northwestern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi and became chaos.
Commander Si Ling has been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. He saw that the scale of the battle was getting bigger and bigger, and he was worried that the Mawushan Military Division would be overwhelmed.
