At 11:30 that night, Li Qiulin was woken up by the guerrilla sentries. He got up and packed his bags, preparing to set off with the guerrillas.
At this moment, Li Jiming and Yao Fang came over. Li Qiulin thought they were here to see him off, so he stepped forward to shake hands with them and say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiming said: "Captain Li, Yao Fang and I have discussed with the backbone of the guerrillas and plan to follow you to join Mr. Xu and the guerrilla detachment in Gaoxiling."
Li Qiulin was a little confused because he had made such a suggestion before, but was rejected by Li Jiming and Yao Fang on the grounds that the guerrillas were locals and could not leave their homeland. He did not understand why their thoughts suddenly changed.
It turns out that Yao Fang played a big role in this. He was sent by the superior organization of the Malaysian Underground Party in order to win over the guerrillas to join the fighting order of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. After his hard and meticulous work, many underground party members have now developed among the guerrillas, and he has a certain say in this guerrilla group.
Yao Fang has already sent someone to report to his superiors. The superiors also got news of the victory in Maiba Town and also knew that Xu Dalong was active there. Xu Dalong and his special forces are the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the Chinese underground party organization. The guerrillas in Gaoxiling fight side by side with them, and they will definitely be influenced by the underground party.
The Malaysian underground party organization hopes to mobilize the guerrillas in Gaoxiling into the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party. Of course, they hope that Yao Fang can take this guerrilla to join the guerrillas in Gaoxiling and expand the underground party’s presence. influence among that guerrilla group.
Therefore, the task assigned to Yao Fang by his superiors was to try to persuade Li Jiming to join the guerrillas in Gaoxiling.
The guerrilla group led by Li Jiming was small and had difficulty surviving under the attack of the Japanese and puppets. He also had the idea of joining a large guerrilla army in the past.
Now with Yao Fang's persuasion and Li Qiulin's invitation, after careful consideration, he felt that it would be better to join a large guerrilla group than to stay here and fight alone. He finally changed his mind, agreed to Yao Fang's suggestion, and decided to follow Li Qiulin to join Xu Dalong.
Li Qiulin was already very clear about Xu Dalong's intentions. He knew that he wanted to help establish a powerful anti-Japanese armed force here. If other guerrillas could be mobilized to join him, it would be a shortcut to develop and strengthen the guerrillas.
He was very happy about the change in attitude of Li Jiming and Yao Fang, and immediately expressed a warm welcome to them on behalf of Xu Dalong. That night, Li Qiulin, Li Jiming, and Yao Fang led the guerrillas to leave the station and go to Maiba Town.
Li Qiulin and others were marching, and Wang Jin, who was clearing the way ahead, laughed when he saw the person coming.
The visitor turned out to be Chen Asong. He is now staying in the town and working as a traffic officer for Captain Wang of the guerrilla intelligence team. When he heard that Li Jiming and others were going to defect to Xu Dalong, he ran over and insisted on leaving with Li Jiming and others.
Chen Asong has a little ambition. The reason why he did this was not only to follow Li Jiming and others to become a guerrilla, but also to join Li Qiulin's special forces team.
Chen Asong is an overseas Chinese himself and has relatives in China. He envies the wonderful combat life of the special operations team members, admires their skills even more, and has a strong desire to become a glorious special operations team member. He knew that the only way to join the special forces team was to get close to them. Li Qiulin and others were leaving, so of course he couldn't let them go, and he had to go with them life or death.
Li Qiulin and the special forces members also liked this enthusiastic and happy-looking little fat man, and they would teach him some skills of the special forces members in their spare time. In addition to the shell gun that Li Qiulin gave him at the beginning, Wang Jin also gave him a special warfare dagger. Although they did not allow him to join the special forces team for the time being, they were still willing to let him follow them.
Xu Dalong was very happy when he received the telegram from Li Qiulin. He had been looking forward to meeting Li Qiulin again after a long absence.
At 9 o'clock in the morning that day, Xu Dalong received a report saying that Li Qiulin and the others had arrived. Xu Dalong left his residence and went outside the guerrilla detachment's compound to greet Li Qiulin and others.
Li Qiulin saw Xu Dalong greeting him from a distance. He was very excited and ordered the troops to stop advancing, and then ordered the troops to tidy up.
The special operations team members immediately began to sort out their clothes. Although the guerrillas who followed were wearing a variety of clothes, they were very surprised by the actions of the special forces members, and they also followed them to adjust their clothes.
After a while, Li Qiulin led the team to move forward. When he was only about twenty steps away from Xu Dalong, he broke away from the unit, ran quickly to Xu Dalong, stood at attention, saluted him, and said loudly: "Reporting to the distinguished comrade captain, the special operations team responsible for luring the enemy has won. Complete the mission, please give instructions. Li Qiulin, captain of the Mawushan Guerrilla Brigade Special Warfare Squadron."
Although Li Qiulin is now affiliated with the Ministry of Social Affairs, he is still proud of his experience as a squadron leader in the Mawushan Special Warfare Brigade. At this moment, he still considers himself a subordinate of Xu Dalong and claims to be the squadron leader of the Mawushan Special Warfare Brigade. .
"Please rest a moment." Xu Dalong solemnly returned the military salute, then smiled, stepped forward, held Li Qiulin's hand, pulled it gently, and then gave him a warm hug.
It wasn't long before Li Qiulin separated from Xu Dalong and others, but he felt that this time was very long. At this moment, he was very excited, with tears in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Captain,..." and then choked up and couldn't continue.
Xu Dalong let go of Li Qiulin, smiled and punched him lightly on the shoulder, and praised: "Qiulin, you and your special forces team members are all good. You have completed your mission very well. .”
Li Jiming and Yao Fang had heard Xu Dalong's name countless times. They admired Li Qiulin and the special forces team members very much. Seeing their immense respect for Xu Dalong, Xu Dalong's status in their minds became even higher.
Now that they saw Xu Dalong and saw his mighty appearance, they recognized him from the bottom of their hearts and felt that his image was completely in line with their imagination. When Li Qiulin introduced them to Xu Dalong, both of them were very excited and said hello to Xu Dalong.
Li Jiming was originally a loud-mouthed person who spoke quickly, but he was a little nervous at this moment. He couldn't even say all the compliments he had planned.
Xu Dalong greeted Li Jiming and Yao Fang cordially and expressed his sincere gratitude for their help.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by Li Qiulin, Li Jiming, and Yao Fang, he reviewed the special forces and guerrillas, and delivered a brief and passionate speech to express his gratitude for their efforts and their achievements. The achievement was also sincerely congratulated.
Needless to say, the special forces members respected Xu Dalong. The guerrillas had also heard about Xu Dalong's glorious deeds. Now that Xu Dalong appeared in front of them, they were all very excited. After listening to Xu Dalong's passionate speech, they burst into warm applause.
Next, Xu Dalong introduced Li Qiulin, Li Jiming, Yao Fang and others to the backbone of the guerrilla detachment such as Gaoxiling.
Gao Xiling and others also expressed their sincere gratitude and warm welcome to Li Jiming and Yao Fang for being able to lead the guerrillas to join the guerrilla detachment. The guerrilla detachment held a grand banquet to welcome Li Qiulin, Li Jiming, Yao Fang and others.
Gao Xiling thought highly of Li Jiming and others, giving them the designation of the Fourth Brigade of the Special Detachment, and also added more than 80 new soldiers to them. Li Jiming returned the favor and handed over the excess weapons and ammunition they brought to the guerrilla detachment.
That night, Li Qiulin got up to check the post and saw that the light in Xu Dalong's room was still on.
He couldn't help but be a little curious, so he walked forward and knocked on the door gently, asking with concern: "Captain, why haven't you rested yet?"
There were footsteps in the room, and then the door creaked open, and Xu Dalong said: "Qiulin, come in."
Li Qiulin walked into the room and saw the lamp on Xu Dalong's desk was on, with several letterheads spread out on it. Xu Dalong seemed to be writing something.
Li Qiulin said: "Captain, it's so late and you are still working? Pay attention to your health and rest early."
Xu Dalong nodded slightly and said, "Qiulin, sit down, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Li Qiulin had communicated with Xu Dalong many times before, but this conversation left a very deep impression on him. After listening to the content of Xu Dalong's words, he was extremely shocked. Xu Dalong showed him a picture of the future historical process, which shocked him deeply. He was deeply impressed by Xu Dalong's foresight.
When Li Qiulin was in the Mawushan base area, he was a grassroots commander, so his vision was naturally narrow. Later, when he arrived at the higher-level Ministry of Social Affairs, he was exposed to a higher level and his vision was much broader. It can be said that at this time, Li Qiulin's strategic vision has surpassed that of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others. After all, the environment he was exposed to was different.
However, regarding the future direction of history, he does not know what the final outcome of China will be, and it is difficult for him to predict it, let alone the international situation. And Xu Dalong's words completely exceeded his imagination. Although these contents shocked him, out of his trust in Xu Dalong, he believed that what Xu Dalong said would be the future development.
While Li Qiulin was shocked, he also felt a deep sense of mission, which made his heart surge.
Li Qiulin clenched his fists and said solemnly: "Captain, I will resolutely obey your orders and carry forward the cause of the underground party."
That night, Xu Dalong had an in-depth and long conversation with Li Qiulin. After sending Li Qiulin away, he continued to write furiously and wrote a telegram of several thousand words, which was then sent to Commander Sling in the form of a secret telegram.
Siling Department of Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region.
Officer Si Ling has been paying attention to Xu Dalong's situation. Through the telegram exchanges in the previous stage, he knew that Xu Dalong had escorted Mr. Chen to his destination, established a firm foothold there, and successfully completed the tasks assigned by his superiors. Now that the war situation in China is developing rapidly, he is planning to send a telegram to Xu Dalong to ask him to return to the team as soon as possible and then accept a new mission.
At this moment, Xu Dalong's telegram arrived. After reading the telegram sent by Xu Dalong, he was also extremely shocked.
Mr. Si Ling is far-sighted and a man of great wisdom. After reading Xu Dalong's telegram, although he felt that Xu Dalong's plan was a bit premature, he also believed that Xu Dalong's choice must be correct. This matter is currently a very important secret, and he can only report it to his old superiors and responsible comrades in northern Shaanxi.
Compared with the Sling members, the comrades in charge have higher Zhengzhi wisdom and unparalleled foresight. After reading Xu Dalong's letter, he was extremely shocked.
This matter was of great importance, and he had no way to discuss it with others. He could only praise to himself: "This Xu Dalong is really not simple. If the outcome of history really develops as he said, this is really a momentous event. These measures will play a huge role in the future.”
The comrade in charge once led the special section of the underground party. He called Xu Dalong's idea to plan in advance and lurk for a long time. Once the time is right, it will play a key role at the critical moment.
Since there are no obvious signs of the historical process, the prospects described by Xu Dalong are not yet visible, and the comrade in charge of this matter does not intend to discuss it with others. It is too early to discuss this matter now, and it can be said that most people cannot understand it.
But the comrade in charge decided to start supporting Xu Dalong, and he started to make arrangements from now on. After careful consideration, he sent a telegram to Commander Sir, asking him to secretly support Xu Dalong. This matter is currently only known to the three of them.
Commander Si Ling sent the opinions of the comrade in charge and his own opinions to Xu Dalong by telegram to express his support for his decision.
After Xu Dalong's idea was recognized by his superiors, he immediately took action. He sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others, asking them to send a special operations squadron and ten political cadres to join him in Malaysia.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others also missed Xu Dalong very much and had long been looking forward to his coming back quickly to fight in some big battles.
They felt a little disappointed when they saw that Xu Dalong could not return to the base for the time being. Wei Dayong was not able to go to Malaysia with Xu Dalong this time, and was still a little jealous of Li Qiulin. His favorite thing to do is to fight with Xu Dalong. It feels so good.
After receiving the order from Li Yunlong, Wei Dayong was very excited and immediately gave the order to the special operations brigade to prepare the special operations team members who were going to follow him to set off.
