It turned out that there were no movie theaters in the counties around Mawu Mountain, so Gao Youtian sent people to Xipu County, east of Guancheng County, to buy them.
Unexpectedly, the projector was not purchased, and the person sent to purchase it was arrested by the local Japanese and puppet troops. The family members of the arrested person went to the Zheng Mansion in the county to cry and complain, hoping to save the person.
Xu Dalong has long heard that Xipu County is very prosperous. Nowadays, the guerrilla family has a big business and has too much money to spend, so he just took this opportunity to make a fortune.
So he and Sun Desheng led three cavalry squadrons of the special operations squadron and left Mawu Mountain for Xipu County.
Xu Dalong and others bypassed Guancheng County and attacked Xipu County.
After Xu Dalong and others arrived at the county seat, they first sent a few guerrillas disguised as ordinary people and sneaked into the city. They suddenly seized the city gate and a large group of people rushed into the city.
In the county town, there were only a Japanese military police unit with dozens of Japanese soldiers and some pseudo-policemen, which were no match for the guerrillas. The guerrillas wiped out all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city and rescued the staff of the county Zheng Mansion.
The guerrillas confiscated most of the weapons of the pseudo-policemen, returned some old weapons to them, and asked them to continue maintaining law and order. They warned them not to bully the people, and then left the county with a large amount of seized and purchased supplies.
When passing by Guancheng County, Xu Dalong and others did not take a detour this time, but came to the outside of the county.
The news that the guerrillas had just taken over Xipu County had reached Guancheng County. Seeing the guerrillas coming outside, every Japanese and puppet army in the city was very frightened.
The pseudo-police captain in the county told the pseudo-policemen in advance not to shoot in order to avoid angering the guerrillas outside the city.
The Japanese gendarmerie only numbered a few dozen people, and they simply couldn't defend such a huge city.
Some Japanese soldiers ran up the city wall and fired a few shots, but were killed by guerrilla snipers, and the rest did not dare to shoot again.
Xu Dalong is not planning to storm the county town, but wants to create a new model.
He explained a few words to Monk Wei and asked Monk Wei to shout to the city.
Monk Wei has practiced martial arts all year round and has a large lung capacity. He has a loud voice. He picked up an iron trumpet and shouted to the Japanese and puppet soldiers on the top of the city: "Listen, little devils and puppet soldiers in the city. Now you have
We are surrounded by the Mawushan guerrillas. I give you two options. One option is for us to attack the city and eliminate you all. The other option is to agree to our conditions and let you go."
The Japanese gendarmerie captain was hiding behind the arrow stack on the city wall. At this time, he had already sent a telegram to his superiors asking for help. However, the Japanese and puppet troops in the brigade were far away in Dongxiang County and Yinping County. They were far away from here. They were worried about what would happen on the way.
When faced with an attack by the guerrillas, they did not have the guts to come for reinforcements, leaving the gendarmerie captain to organize the defense of the county town on his own.
The Japs' gendarmerie captain couldn't laugh or cry. These guerrillas outside were really terrifying. Thousands of Japs were no match for them. It was simply a daydream for him to defend the county town with just dozens of troops.
The gendarmerie captain heard the shouting outside and didn't dare to answer. He didn't know what conditions the guerrillas would offer. If they couldn't be satisfied, they might attack the city. If they met their conditions, he was worried that he would be punished by his superiors.
investigation.
So he chose to remain silent.
When Monk Wei saw that the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the city ignored him, he immediately became angry and ordered the special forces to set up artillery and fired two shots at the city gate.
The cannonball hit the gate and instantly destroyed the city gate.
The puppet police captain was frightened and said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, do you want to ask them what their conditions are? Otherwise we will be doomed if we attack."
The gendarmerie captain was already frightened and said, "Go and ask."
The pseudo-police captain hid behind the battlements and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Grandpas from the Eighth Route Army outside, don't fire. Just say whatever conditions you have. As long as we can do it, we will satisfy you."
Monk Wei picked up the tin trumpet again and shouted: "Our captain said that your Guancheng County is a neighbor of our Mawu Mountain. We are just passing by here. As long as you hand over half of the weapons and ammunition, and another 1
If Wan Dayang comes, we won't enter the city."
Hearing this, the pseudo-police captain and the pseudo-policemen were all very willing. They had already heard that whether it was Xinhe County or Xipu County, the guerrillas would not embarrass the police and would leave some for them.
Weapons and ammunition to maintain law and order. In this case, who is willing to fight against the guerrillas?
The puppet police captain said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, the guerrillas outside are too powerful, we can't defeat them, and their conditions are not excessive, so please agree to them quickly."
The gendarmerie captain also heard that the last time the guerrillas attacked Xinhe County, the gendarmerie there escaped and the guerrillas did not intercept them. Now listening to the tone of the guerrillas, it seems that they are attacking the counties around Mawu Mountain.
Very tolerant, and the conditions offered are indeed not excessive.
His mind was already active, and he was thinking of agreeing to the guerrillas' request.
But he was worried that he would be held accountable by his superiors later, so he hesitated.
Monk Wei waited for a few minutes and saw that the Japanese and puppet troops in the city did not reply, so he asked the guerrillas to fire another shot at the tower.
This shot hit a window of the tower, completely shattering the window. The shrapnel produced by the explosion also injured several Japanese and puppet soldiers on the tower.
At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie captain was frightened and said to the puppet police captain: "Go and tell the Eighth Route Army outside that I agree to their conditions."
The pseudo-police captain hurriedly shouted: "Grandpa Eighth Route Army outside, don't fight. Taijun has said that he agrees to your conditions."
Monk Wei said: "I will give you one hour to deliver the things. Remember, the weapons and ammunition must be the latest in your hands. If you dare to use some junk to fool the grandfathers, I will break into the city and kill you all."
The pseudo-police captain hurriedly shouted: "If you hear it, we will definitely do it."
At this time, the Japanese gendarmerie captain warned again: "I hope the guerrillas can keep their word."
The pseudo-police captain shouted again: "Gentlemen of the guerrillas outside, Taijun said, I hope you will keep your word."
Monk Wei said: "Don't talk nonsense. Grandpas are upright men. Every spit is like a nail. Hurry up. If you wait any longer, don't blame me for being rude."
The pseudo-police captain seized the moment and said to the gendarmerie captain: "Taijun, it's better to believe them. What they said in front of so many people in the city, if they default on the bill, it will affect their credibility."
The Japanese military police captain now had no choice and said: "Then let's do this."
The pseudo-police captain shouted outside again: "I know, we'll do it right away."
About 40 minutes later, the president of the city's chamber of commerce drove out several large vehicles. The vehicles were filled with weapons and ammunition. The Japanese and puppet soldiers were afraid that the guerrillas would cause trouble. Not only did they select
Good weapons and ammunition, and the quantity is more than what the guerrillas require.
Now that they have made such a decision, they do not want the guerrillas to find fault with some trivial matters.
The president of the Chamber of Commerce handed over 10,000 yuan and looked at Xu Dalong and others with trepidation.
He was very worried that Xu Dalong and others did not keep their words, suddenly turned against him, and detained him as a meat ticket.
Xu Dalong said in a kind manner: "Thank you for your hard work, you can go back now, but let us use these big cars to pull the things to the place and they will be returned to you."
Valley
The president of the Chamber of Commerce agreed wholeheartedly, and then trotted all the way back to the city.
The Eighth Route Army had not conquered Guancheng County all at once. The drivers who drove the carriages were no longer strangers to the Eighth Route Army. They knew that the Eighth Route Army cared about the people and were willing to help the Eighth Route Army transport supplies.
Xu Dalong promised them that after delivering the supplies this time, each person would give them two oceans.
The coachmen happily followed the guerrillas away.
Naturally, what happened in Guancheng County could not be hidden from the superiors of the Japanese army. At the beginning, the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Lingao City sent people to the county to investigate what happened, and prepared to investigate the military police captain and the puppet police chief.
Captain's responsibility.
As a result, the two argued that the guerrillas had surrounded the county town at that time, and they had already asked their superiors for help. There were thousands of Japanese troops in Dongxiang County and Yinping County, and they did not dare to come out for reinforcements. They only relied on dozens of soldiers from their military police.
Troops and some fake policemen died in vain.
If they do not agree to the guerrillas' conditions and the guerrillas attack the city, not only will they be wiped out, but the material losses will be even greater.
They emphasized that what they did was not wrong and actually reduced losses for the Huang Army.
After all, the gendarmerie captain was a subordinate of the gendarmerie headquarters. Those sent to investigate also believed that the responsibility did not lie with them. Who made the Japanese troops in the brigade dare not come for reinforcements?
The gendarmerie captain and the pseudo-police captain took out some more money and bribed the investigators.
As a result, the investigators helped them put in good words, and the matter was settled.
After this incident, the Japanese gendarmerie, puppet police, and puppet troops in the five counties around the Mawushan base left a deep impression that as long as they agreed to the conditions of the Eighth Route Army, they would not be embarrassed.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the county did not dare to provoke the Mawushan guerrillas. They turned a blind eye to the activities of the Mawushan guerrillas, including the county brigade.
This created very favorable conditions for the guerrillas to raise supplies and carry out small groups of personnel.
The news spread like wildfire and reached Chu Yunfei's ears.
Chu Yunfei said with shame: "Brother Dalong and their small guerrilla force have made the Japanese and puppet troops fearful.
Our dignified 358th Brigade is going to occupy a county town owned by the Japanese, but Shangfeng disagrees. This is simply..."
He really couldn't talk any more.
Fang Ligong was also very embarrassed. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Chu Yunfei, but he didn't know what to say. The gap was really too big.
In the days that followed, Xu Dalong was busy digging coal mines and building arsenals in the mountains.
The guerrillas and county brigades, with squadrons and district squadrons as units, operated around the county, attacked the grassroots organizations of the Japanese and puppet troops, and mobilized the masses to expand their base areas.
That afternoon, the county brigade sent an officer from the Huang Xie Army. When they were operating in Yinping, they discovered a transport team of the puppet army, so they intercepted it. This officer was responsible for leading the team.
Xu Dalong praised the people of the county brigade and gave them 50 yuan as a reward.
The members of the county brigade left happily.
Xu Dalong personally interrogated this Huang Xiejun officer.
This person's name is Wang Shuhuai, and he is the deputy director of the Military Supplies Department of the Fourth Division of Huang Xiejun.
When Wang Shuhuai saw the famous Xu Dalong, he felt very uneasy, not knowing what the outcome would be like for him.
Xu Dalong was very kind to him. He learned about the logistics situation of the Fourth Division from him, and also learned about the products of Yinping County and other counties to the west of the county. Then he arranged a banquet for him to eat with Wang Shuhuai.
chat.
Xu Dalong said that after dinner, he would send Wang Shuhuai back, only asking him to bring a message to the division commander Yan Guiwu, so that from now on the guerrillas and their fourth division could conduct business in secret.
Wang Shuhuai was eager to get away and agreed immediately.
Xu Dalong kept his word. After eating, he sent someone to take him away from the base area and also gave him a horse.
Lingao City.
Wang Shuhuai originally went from Yinping County to Lingao City to deliver supplies. Now that the supplies were lost, he had no choice but to go to see Yan Guiwu.
Yan Guiwu was very angry and said, "You are the only one who came back. Where are the supplies?"
Wang Shuhuai said: "Master, I'm sorry. I'm humble and incompetent. The supplies were intercepted by those Eighth Route guerrillas in Mawu Mountain."
Yan Guiwu felt a headache when he heard the name of the Mawushan guerrillas. He heard that the supplies were intercepted by the Mawushan guerrillas, so he couldn't blame Wang Shuhuai.
Those Eight Route Army soldiers are so powerful. How could a small transport team be their opponent?
After a moment of silence, Yan Guiwu asked: "The guerrillas have released you, do they want you to send a message?"
Wang Shuhuai said quickly: "Master, you are wise. Captain Xu of the Eighth Route Guerrilla Army said that he has admired you for a long time, master, and asked me to send you a message."
"What message?"
Hearing this, Yan Guiwu couldn't help but become nervous.
He knew the conditions proposed by the guerrillas and the Japanese military police in Guancheng County. He guessed that the conditions proposed by Xu Dalong must not be simple and would make him very embarrassed.
Wang Shuhuai said: "The captain of the Eighth Route Army has said that he hopes that he and our Fourth Division will not be in conflict with each other, and that the two sides will conduct business with each other and make money together."
Hearing this, Yan Guiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
He definitely didn't want to communicate with Xu Dalong and the others. If the Japanese found out, it would be a mess.
So he planned to pretend not to hear, and said to Wang Shuhuai: "Okay, you go back and rest first."
Unexpectedly, Wang Shuhuai's next words made Yan Guiwu feel his scalp numb immediately.
