Yan Guiwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Xu Dalong obviously wrote the letter to the Japanese and asked him to handle it. What could he do? Should he pay for it himself?
Yan Guiwu was reluctant, but he didn't dare to stab Qianye Xunyi in front of him, so he had to go back and find a way.
Yan Guiwu returned to his headquarters and called Wang Shuhuai, deputy director of the Munitions Department, and asked him to resolve the matter.
Wang Shuhuai said that this matter was easy to handle. Xu Dalong and the others came here just for the Japanese. Yan Guiwu and the others did not need to intervene at all. They just asked Xu Dalong and the others to settle the accounts with the Japanese. When the time comes, the Japanese would obediently take out the money. This matter
The matter is solved.
Yan Guiwu thought what he said made sense, so he stopped thinking about it.
After being scolded a few times by Chiba Xunyi today, he felt a little angry, so he left the headquarters early and went back to find his newly married fifth concubine and enjoy his young love.
Xu Dalong saw that the Japanese and puppet troops in Dongxiang County and Yinping County were shameless, and was about to lead a large group of troops to set off. The captains of the Japanese gendarmerie in Dongxiang County and Yinping County sent people to take away two of the Mawushan guerrillas.
Wan Dayang sent them all.
It turned out that Chiba Xunyi asked Yan Guiwu to solve this matter just for his own sake. He didn't need Yan Guiwu to handle this matter at all. He asked the chief of staff to send a message to the Japanese commanders in Dongxiang County and Yinping County.
He sent a telegram and asked them to notify the gendarmerie to send the ocean to the Mawushan guerrillas. He really didn't want to let the Mawushan guerrilla army press on the border because of this matter. Then the situation would be really difficult to deal with.
Xu Dalong and others saw that the Japanese had relented and felt that the Chinese New Year was approaching, so they decided to let the Japanese go for the time being and spend the New Year in peace.
The matter of asking the Japanese for money, or the Japanese sending money to the Mawushan guerrillas, must be reported to their superiors. Otherwise, people who do not know the truth may misunderstand that Xu Dalong and others have colluded with the Japanese, so Xu Dalong
I sent telegrams about this matter to the brigade commander and the three heads of the independent regiment respectively.
Independent Regiment Department.
After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong said happily: "Xu Dalong is getting more and more powerful. He can actually force the little devil to give him money. Yes, he will soon catch up with me, Li Yunlong."
Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao laughed after hearing this. Li Yunlong was indeed well-known and had been registered with the Japanese army. However, in terms of level of excellence, he seemed to be a little behind compared to Xu Dalong.
Zhao Gang couldn't help but said: "Old Li, don't sell melons and brag yourself. To be honest, some of the things Xu Dalong and the others do, our independent group really can't do."
What Zhao Gang meant was that you, Li Yunlong, are not as awesome as Xu Dalong yet.
Li Yunlong knew what he meant, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "That kid Dalong is indeed awesome, but I discovered this guy. If he is awesome, doesn't it mean that I am awesome? Hahaha!"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Whether you are better than Xu Dalong in other aspects, I can't say, but one thing I can be sure of is that you are definitely thicker-skinned than him."
The three of them laughed together.
Headquarters.
When the brigade commander received Xu Dalong's telegram, he couldn't help laughing. Then he went to the headquarters in person and told the incident as a joke to the heads of the headquarters.
After hearing this, the head of the headquarters smiled and said: "Xu Dalong and the others are really good. They can scare the little devils like this. It really makes our Eighth Route Army look bad."
The chief of staff was very happy and praised Xu Dalong and others.
The division commander was now becoming more and more interested in Xu Dalong and said: "Xu Dalong and the others not only achieved major victories in military struggles, but also achieved major results in base area construction and disintegration of enemy forces. This fully proves that Xu Dalong is
An excellent commander who has comprehensive military and political integrity and can act independently."
He said to the brigade commander: "How is the summary of Xu Dalong's experience in military struggle and base construction in the Mawu Mountains going?"
The brigade commander said: "I have arranged this matter to Zhao Gang, the Independent Regiment Commissioner. He has already made a more detailed summary. He originally wanted to send his summary report. Later, the headquarters prepared to send him to lead the visiting group.
Mawushan base area, he said he would go to the field to conduct investigation, so he has not sent it here for the time being."
The boss said: "Now that the enemy situation is serious, we can only put the visiting group's affairs aside for the time being. Let Zhao Gang send over the part he summarized first. I want to see how Xu Dalong and the others did it?"
The brigade commander said: "Yes, commander, I will send a telegram to Zhao Gang after I return and ask him to send the summarized materials."
Mawu Mountain Base Area.
Xu Dalong prepared some gifts and gave them to the brigade commander, the three leaders of the independent regiment, Li Kun and others, and the representative of the Eighth Route Army King.
Of course, he did not forget Chu Yunfei and the underground party intelligence station, Jinsui Army intelligence station and military unification working group in Taiyuan City.
Xu Dalong called Wang Xiaohu and told him to arrange for someone to deliver these gifts.
At this time, Lin Xueying came over. She said that she had not been back to see her parents for almost three years and wanted to return to Chongqing to spend the Spring Festival with her parents.
Gu Rong
Xu Dalong has not inquired about Lin Xueying's family situation. He understands that as a daughter, Lin Xueying misses her parents and family.
Xu Dalong told her that he was responsible for asking for leave for Lin Xueying from the military unification working group. He happened to arrange for someone to go to the World War II District Chief's Office to deliver gifts, so he arranged for Lin Xueying to handle this matter and then go to Chongqing from there.
Lin Xueying was leaving the base temporarily, and she felt very conflicted.
She knew that Xu Dalong was an orphan, and actually wanted to stay with him.
But she hadn't seen her parents for many years, and she couldn't even take a leave from Juntong. She could only choose to go back to visit her parents.
Of course, there was another reason, and that was Xu Dalong's unclear attitude. She couldn't figure out what Xu Dalong was thinking.
Besides, with Xu Dalong's intelligence, he should be able to feel his affection for him, but this guy just didn't express it.
Lin Xueying left the Mawushan base with complicated emotions.
The Spring Festival is here.
The headquarters, the Eighth Route Army Office of the World War II District Chief, the brigade commander, several heads of the independent regiment, Li Kun, Chu Yunfei, as well as the underground party intelligence station in Taiyuan City, the Jinsui Army Intelligence Station and the military reunification Taiyuan working group all sent Xu Dalong a message.
A congratulatory message came.
Zheng Mansion, central county of Mawushan, and county brigade leaders all came to wish Xu Dalong New Year greetings.
The Mawushan guerrillas held a banquet and happily spent the Spring Festival.
While Xu Dalong and others were happily celebrating the Spring Festival, Qianye Xunyi was in a very bad mood. The security situation in the area guarding the 32nd Division was originally good, and his division commander should also be safe and sound.
But since Xu Dalong and others came to Mawushan, his hard life began. As the division commander of a garrison division and a dignified Japanese general, he was bullied by a small Mawushan guerrilla group and almost escaped death several times.
Vomiting blood made him feel so embarrassed.
Chiba Xunyi never forgot to exterminate the Mawushan guerrillas of Xu Dalong and others to express his bad temper. Therefore, when Xu Dalong and others celebrated the Spring Festival, he was not idle and took advantage of the Mawushan guerrillas to relax during the Spring Festival.
Be vigilant and quietly assemble your troops.
This time, Chiba Xunichi learned the lesson of the attack on his replacement soldiers. He thought of a way to divide the soldiers who were sent to him again by Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, into small groups, disguised as puppet troops or even ordinary people.
Head quietly to Lingao City.
This time he deliberately emphasized the need to keep it secret. Due to the relatively strong concealment of this operation, he concealed it from the eyes and ears of the lower party and quietly transported 3,000 Japanese soldiers.
Coupled with the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers sent last time, the 32nd garrison division restored its previous organizational size and prepared to launch another attack on the Mawushan base area.
Yoshio Shinozuka was very angry about the annihilation of the cavalry regiment. On the one hand, he reported to Jun Tada, commander of the North China Front, hoping to send another cavalry unit to Shanxi.
At the same time, he ordered the tank regiment of the First Army to deploy a reinforced brigade and attach it to the 32nd garrison division to launch an offensive operation against the Mawushan base area.
The commander of the Japanese 108th Division, Konichi Fujiwara, in accordance with the request of Yoshio Shinozuka, once again dispatched an infantry regiment of the 215th Brigade and a cavalry squadron directly under the division headquarters to cooperate with the operations of the 32nd Division.
.
Yan Guiwu also received an order from Qianye Xunyi, asking him to mobilize three regiments of puppet troops to participate in this battle.
Yan Guiwu felt very conflicted. He hoped that the Japanese army could completely wipe out the Mawushan guerrillas. However, based on his past experience, he believed that even if the Japanese army came in so many numbers this time, they still might not be able to deal with the Mawushan guerrillas.
After careful consideration, he informed Wang Shuhuai and quietly passed the news to Xu Dalong that the Japanese army was about to launch a large-scale attack.
Since Xu Dalong came to Mawu Mountain, fighting with the Japanese army has become a common occurrence.
Facing the large-scale attack that the Japanese army was about to launch, he didn't take it too seriously. Now that the Mawushan guerrillas were strong, he didn't mind giving the Japanese army a profound lesson.
He decided to take the initiative and give the Japanese army another blow.
In view of past lessons, the Japanese army has already taken precautions against the proactive attack tactics of the Mawushan guerrillas. This time, the Japanese tank troops coming out of Taiyuan marched very carefully on the road, and were escorted by local Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
In this case, if they did not use surprise attack tactics to attack the Japanese armored troops on the road, it would be difficult for Mawushan's cavalry to take advantage.
Xu Dalong had no intention of attacking these chariot troops this time. These iron guys couldn't be used in Mawu Mountain anyway, so he ignored them for the time being.
The target he chose once again exceeded the expectations of Chiba Xunyi and others.
