The first thing a new officer did when he took office was that Li Yunlong came to the Independence Regiment, gave a speech, issued new military uniforms, and improved food. These measures played a certain role in boosting morale. However, after all, it was the defeat of the Independence Regiment that caused the low morale.
, can truly make the independent regiment straighten its back, have high morale, and at the same time establish the prestige of his new regiment leader, it is still necessary to lead the independent regiment to fight a winning battle, in order to fundamentally solve the problem.
Although Li Yunlong received the support of Kong Jie, he did not really understand the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, so he had to wait until Zhang Dabiao came to report before he could attack the puppet cavalry camp in Wanjia Town.
Not only that, he also wanted to get a real grasp of the situation in Wanjia Town. So, he sent Xu Dalong to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.
When Xu Dalong left Li Yunlong's room, Wang Xiaohu came forward to greet him, asked Xu Dalong where he lived, and said that he was going to see the group leader and would look for him later.
Xu Dalong came to the police platoon, met with the platoon leader Gao Feng, and conveyed Li Yunlong's order, saying that he would lead a reconnaissance squad to detect the enemy's situation.
Gao Feng is a very capable young man, with a handsome face and an appearance of talent, but he looks a bit aloof, which makes people feel that he is not easy to get along with. He doesn't know Xu Dalong well, and he doesn't understand what the regiment announced that Xu Dalong would set up a special service platoon.
.He knew that Xu Dalong came with the new regiment leader Li Yunlong, and thought that this was his special care for Xu Dalong, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The reconnaissance squad is under the control of the police, and matters of detecting the enemy's situation are usually arranged by Gao Feng. In the name of the new regiment leader, Xu Dalong wants to take the reconnaissance squad out to detect the enemy's situation. Doing so is tantamount to bypassing him.
This platoon leader made him feel even more unhappy.
He asked: "Xu Dalong, what did you do in Xinyi Tuan before?"
Xu Dalong said: "I work as a cook in the cooking class."
Hearing this, Gao Feng became even more unhappy. He asked: "Detecting the enemy's situation is not a simple matter. It is related to the safety of the troops participating in the war. Do you know what to do?"
Xu Dalong said: "I know."
Gao Feng asked: "Then tell me, what do you need to know when you go to reconnoiter the enemy's situation?"
Xu Dalong didn't like his attitude very much and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He said: "This is an order from the regiment leader. Please cooperate."
Gao Feng was even more unhappy when he saw Xu Dalong like this. However, he did not dare to disobey orders. He glared at Xu Dalong fiercely and reluctantly took Xu Dalong to the reconnaissance squad, letting Xu Dalong choose his own people.
The squad leader of the reconnaissance squad, Zheng Xirong, was short, dark, lean, and had a pair of big, lively eyes. After hearing the mission assigned by Xu Dalong, he immediately selected two soldiers to follow Xu Dalong on the reconnaissance mission.
Before leaving, Gao Feng stopped Zheng Xirong and whispered to him: "This Xu Dalong is a cook in the New Regiment and has no experience in reconnaissance work. Don't expect him to complete the reconnaissance work by himself."
Zheng Xirong nodded and said, "Platoon leader, don't worry, I know what to do."
After Xu Dalong and others left, Gao Feng felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it, so he wanted to go to Kong Jie to complain. After Kong Jie came back, he entered his room and said: "Captain, that Xu Dalong is just a guy in the new regiment."
Cook, why are you sending him on such an important task? Detecting the enemy situation is the task of our police platoon. Doesn’t the new regiment leader’s arrangement like this clearly show that he doesn’t trust me? "
Gao Feng was trained by Kong Jie. He originally thought that if a new leader came to the regiment and he brought his own people, Kong Jie would definitely be disgusted with this matter.
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie frowned and said: "The leader's decision naturally has his own reasons. Don't think too much about it. Besides, Xu Dalong was indeed a cook before, but he was not a simple person. He killed seven people by himself.
The Japanese and puppet troops captured a Type 92 infantry gun.
Our group can now improve the food and have meat to eat every day. He also grabbed the money by himself. He is also a sharpshooter and can drive a car. Okay, let’s not talk about these things that are not conducive to unity in the future. New
The leader is here, and we should all support his work."
Gao Feng did not expect that Xu Dalong was so powerful. He felt that he could not do what others did, and the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared a lot. Gao Feng saluted Kong Jie and said, "Yes, leader, I understand."
Xu Dalong took Zheng Xirong and two soldiers from the reconnaissance squad out of the yard of the regiment headquarters. Instead of going to the stables, he walked to the logistics office.
The Independence Regiment has fought many battles with the Japanese over the years and has captured Japanese weapons and uniforms.
When he arrived at the logistics office, Xu Dalong conveyed Li Yunlong's instructions and asked everyone in the reconnaissance squad to choose Japanese military uniforms that fit them and put on Type 38 rifles.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and others left Yangcun on horseback and galloped towards Wanjia Town. After leaving the base area, they entered the Japanese and puppet-controlled area, found a small forest, and asked the soldiers to put on Japanese military uniforms.
.He was still wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant.
The soldiers in the reconnaissance squad were unfamiliar with Xu Dalong and were suspicious of his actions. Squad leader Zheng Xirong asked: "Platoon Leader Xu, are you going to disguise yourself for reconnaissance? What should you do if you really encounter Japanese soldiers on the road?"
"
Xu Dalong spoke Japanese in a nonchalant way. The soldiers couldn't understand it, but they felt that what he said sounded very similar.
Xu Dalong was originally a special operations elite. He was proficient in English, Japanese, and even spoke German. It was certainly not difficult to pretend to be Japanese.
Zheng Xirong said with admiration: "Platoon Commander Xu, I didn't expect that you are so powerful that you can even speak the language of the Japanese. But we don't know how to speak. Will our secrets be exposed when we meet the Japanese?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, I am responsible for talking to the Japanese. If you have to face the Japanese, I will also have a way for you to deal with it.
It is not difficult to learn what the Japs say, and I will teach you in the future. I will teach you three sentences now, which are enough for the time being. I believe that you are all smart people. If you can’t understand what the Japs say, just be good at observing people’s words. If I want you to
If you want to do something, just answer: Yes. If a Japanese soldier greets you, you can say with a smile: Thank you for your hard work. When you see the puppet soldiers, call them bastards." Then Xu Dalong taught them how to pronounce.
After teaching these three sentences, Xu Dalong said: "If you still don't understand what they say, just look at me and I will help you."
Just three simple sentences, the soldiers practiced it several times and quickly learned it.
Xu Dalong said: "This is not enough. The Japanese infantry drill is different from ours. When we walk, we walk with our thighs and calves. The Japanese walk with their calves and thighs. As the saying goes, they walk with their legs out. Now you practice with me.
one time."
The soldiers in the reconnaissance class are all young people, and they learn new things quickly. With such a simple action, they can learn it well in a short time.
Zheng Xirong and the two soldiers in the reconnaissance squad were originally, like their platoon leader, unconvinced because they were not familiar with Xu Dalong.
They never expected that Xu Dalong would do this, and they immediately gained a bit more respect for him.
Next, Xu Dalong said: "You were attacked by the Japanese's Yamamoto special agent team. Which of you was at the scene at that time?"
Zheng Xirong said: "I was there at that time."
Xu Dalong asked: "Have you noticed that when the Japs were fighting, they did not make any noise or talk in words, but they cooperated very well. Do you know how they did it?"
Zheng Xirong thought for a while and said: "Platoon Commander Xu, when I think about what you said, I really didn't hear the Japs talking. It was at night and the visibility was not high. The cooperation of these little Japs
They really have a tacit understanding, how did they do it?"
Xu Dalong said: "They communicate with each other using hand gestures. In military terms, they use special warfare sign language. Now I will teach you some simple special warfare sign language."
He stretched out his palm, stood it in front of his chest, turned his hand over, pointed forward, and said, "This means moving forward."
He raised his hands, clenched his fists, and said, "This means to stop moving forward."
Then he made outflanking, shooting, cease-fire and other gestures.
Zheng Xirong and others were very interested and imitated him, and soon mastered some simple special operations sign language.
As Xu Dalong continued to demonstrate his talents, the soldiers respected him more and more.
Soon after, Xu Dalong took them on their way.
Just when Xu Dalong and others went to Wanjia Town for reconnaissance, Zhao Gang, the new political commissar of the Independent Regiment, came to the headquarters of the Independent Regiment to report. Along with him was his guard He Yiming, who was tall and strong and looked stunned.
