Lin Xueying said: "From Chongqing, I asked someone to find the equipment department of the Military Command Department. They have part of the inventory."
Xu Dalong asked: "What model? How many can I buy? What is the price?"
Lin Xueying smiled slightly and said: "It is said to be provided by Sulian people, but I have never seen it. I don't know the detailed model.
We can get a total of four guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition."
Xu Dalong thought for a while and said: "It should be the Su-made DSHK heavy machine gun, also known as the DSHK 1938 heavy machine gun. It is a heavy anti-aircraft machine gun equipped by Sulian in 1938. The DSHK fires 12.7 x 108 mm large-caliber ammunition and is fed by a belt. Except
In addition to being used as an anti-aircraft machine gun, it can also be mounted on a wheeled launcher to support infantry. An armor protection plate can be added in front of the launcher. It has a high rate of fire and strong protection. It is a high-level dual-purpose machine gun with powerful firepower.
.Good stuff!”
Lin Xueying looked at Xu Dalong, her eyes full of surprise and reverence, and she said with admiration: "Captain, I didn't expect that your knowledge is so profound, and you even know the weapons in such detail. It's really amazing."
The praise from the beautiful woman greatly benefited Xu Dalong. He smiled and said: "Just average, third in the country."
Lin Xueying giggled.
Xu Dalong asked: "What is the price of this anti-aircraft machine gun?"
Lin Xueying smiled and said: "No money. I gave it to you for free."
These four anti-aircraft machine guns, plus 50,000 rounds of ammunition, cost a lot of money. With such a big deal, Lin Xueying's face seemed really great.
Xu Dalong never inquired about other people's privacy, but he was a little shocked and couldn't help asking: "Xueying, what do you do at home?"
The reason why Xu Dalong asked this was that he was just confused. He thought that Lin Xueying's family background must not be simple, but this was somewhat contradictory. Since she had such a strong family background, why was she trapped in the military system and unable to extricate herself?
Lin Xueying did not answer directly. She smiled and said: "It's just an ordinary family. I got these weapons through friends."
Xu Dalong saw that Lin Xueying was unwilling to say anything, so it was hard to ask again.
He said: "Xueying, you have really helped me a lot. We can't let your friends work in vain."
With that said, he picked up the phone and said to Wang Xiaohu: "Bring ten large yellow croakers here. Now."
Lin Xueying said: "No need, it's really not necessary."
Xu Dalong said: "That's not possible. Our guerrillas must be particular about what we do, and we can't let your friends work in vain. With so many weapons and ammunition, if your friends want to deal with it, they will have to do a lot of favors.
Of course, this is mainly because you have a lot of face, so I can’t embarrass you. Besides, these four anti-aircraft machine guns have so many bullets. If you really want to buy them, ten large yellow croakers are simply not enough. Let’s
The guerrillas have benefited a lot, and I am very grateful."
Lin Xueying made a personal connection and found these anti-aircraft machine guns and bullets just for Xu Dalong.
The people who heard him open and close his mouth were all guerrillas, and she was slightly disappointed. However, she still felt very satisfied when she saw Xu Dalong's happy look.
So, she said: "Okay, I will accept the money."
Wang Xiaohu came over quickly, took a leather bag, opened it to show the ten large yellow croakers inside, and then handed it to Lin Xueying together with the bag.
He didn't want to disturb Xu Dalong's conversation with Lin Xueying, so he asked: "Captain, do you have any other instructions?"
Xu Dalong said: "It's okay."
Wang Xiaohu nodded at Lin Xueying and retreated.
Lin Xueying has been hiding something in her heart, which makes her feel very heavy.
She thought about it for a long time and always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Xu Dalong. She knew that the sooner she told this matter, the better. Otherwise, if Xu Dalong learned about it through other channels, it would be difficult to resolve the misunderstanding between them.
Today, while Xu Dalong was happy, she decided to tell Xu Dalong about this matter.
Lin Xueying looked into Xu Dalong's eyes and asked: "Brother Dalong, do you trust me?"
Xu Dalong said very calmly: "Of course I trust you. We are comrades-in-arms, life and death friends."
Lin Xueying knew that Xu Dalong trusted her, that the guerrillas had no secrets from her, and that all important messages were sent through her hands.
However, this was before Xu Dalong knew what she was going to say.
She didn't know what Xu Dalong would think after she said it. But this matter had to be said.
Lin Xueying said: "The reason why the military commander agreed for me to stay in the guerrillas was because they gave me an important task, asking me to win you over to join the military commander, or join the Guojun."
After saying that, she felt very uneasy, but she was also full of expectations, hoping that Xu Dalong would still trust her as she thought.
This matter is really big, and it is a conspiracy on the part of the military. If ordinary people encounter such a thing, they will definitely be extremely wary of Lin Xueying.
Lin Xueying took a huge risk by saying this. The reason why she told Xu Dalong directly was based on her trust in Xu Dalong.
This trust comes from her female sixth sense, and she thinks Xu Dalong can really accept this fact.
After Xu Dalong heard this, he didn't look shocked at all.
He smiled and said: "What's the point? If your military commander doesn't engage in some conspiracy, is it still called military commander? Xueying, it's okay. First of all, I thank you for your trust in me. I solemnly tell you now that in my heart
, you will always be my comrade-in-arms, my life-and-death friend, my..."
Xu Dalong almost said "confidante". He felt it was a bit too close, so he changed his words and said: "You are my friend and confidant. I will trust you under any circumstances."
After listening to Xu Dalong's words, Lin Xueying felt completely relieved, and then a warm current surged into her heart.
She said gratefully: "Brother Dalong, thank you for your trust in me. No matter what the circumstances, I will never harm you in this life."
Lin Xueying's words made her feelings for Xu Dalong very clear. In fact, they were equivalent to confessing her love to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong smiled and nodded, and said: "I know, I treat you the same way. No matter what the situation, I will have absolute trust in you."
Lin Xueying felt happy but also a little disappointed when she heard Xu Dalong's words.
She didn't understand why this guy didn't explain everything clearly.
Xu Dalong felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. He smiled and said: "Your military commander hopes that you can mobilize me to join the military commander or Guofu. I also want to persuade you to join the underground party. If it is a conspiracy, then we can be even.
Already."
Lin Xueying was slightly dissatisfied, and she said tentatively: "I have told you this, so there is no conspiracy. You want to mobilize me to join the underground party, do you feel confident?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I am sure, not only sure, but also absolutely sure."
Lin Xueying liked Xu Dalong's confidence very much. She smiled sweetly and said, "That's not necessarily true. It depends on how you behave."
Now that we have anti-aircraft weapons, how to transport them back is a big problem.
In the process, they not only had to pass through the Japanese-occupied area, but also the Guotong District. Not to mention that this batch of weapons would be intercepted by the Japanese army. Even if they passed through the Guotong District, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be intercepted by the Guotong Army from various places.
Xu Dalong was not too worried about how to pass through the Japanese-occupied area. Because the Japanese army did not know the contents of these weapons and would not send people to intercept them.
As for the possibility of encountering Japanese and puppet troops on the way, Xu Dalong planned to send a special operations squadron to transport these weapons. With their combat effectiveness, they could quickly defeat the Japanese and puppet troops and break away from contact with them.
What Xu Dalong is most worried about is the Guotong District. If a certain faction or a certain unit of the Guo Army forces an interception, it is now a state of cooperation between the two armies. It is impossible for Xu Dalong to come to the door. I am afraid that this dumb loss will be suffered by then.
.
Lin Xueying also took this into consideration, and she said with certainty: "If these weapons pass through Guotong District, I can guarantee that no one will intercept them."
Lin Xueying was confident when she spoke. You can imagine what kind of backer she had behind her to stop the Guojun troops from all over the country from pursuing these weapons.
Xu Dalong completely believed in Lin Xueying. Although he had some questions or curiosity in his heart, since Lin Xueying was unwilling to talk, he did not ask further questions.
After the matter was settled, Xu Dalong sent Monk Wei to lead the special operations squadron and set off with the autograph letter written by Lin Xueying.
Their goal is to go to Yichang and receive the weapons from there.
Since Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade entered Xinhe County, the pressure from the Japanese and puppets has been reduced a lot.
Xu Dalong's main concern now is how to make money. Now that the counties around the base have been raided many times, there is not much oil and water left. Xu Dalong must give them time to recuperate.
There are no specialties in Mawu Mountain, and the only thing that is sold is high-quality coal. There is no shortage of labor in the base area, and the output of coal is not a problem. Unfortunately, due to transportation problems, it is difficult to transport coal out. If it is carried out by manpower,
The cost is too high.
Xu Dalong personally went to the coal mine to inspect and see if there was any way to transport the coal out at a lower cost.
People come up with solutions. Xu Dalong couldn't think of any good solution to the problem of coal transportation, but he was good at mobilizing the masses and experienced mining technicians to find a solution. Finally, someone came up with a solution to the problem.
There is a wide valley in Mawu Mountain, which can be used by cars as long as it is repaired. The coal mine is only separated from this valley by a mountain. The top of the mountain is only more than a hundred meters away from the exit of the coal mine. As long as the coal is transported from here
Once transported there, it can be loaded into trucks in the valley and transported outwards.
Of course, this cannot be solved by manpower alone. Mining technicians suggested building a track over the mountain and connecting it to the exit of the coal mine and the valley.
This thing is not difficult to do. It only requires a relatively powerful winch to pull the mine car to complete the transportation of coal.
Of course, building such a track on a mountain is not an easy task. It requires not only the winch, but also the rails and minecarts. Most importantly, sufficient power is required. These are currently difficult to solve.
But now that he has an idea, the matter is half done. Xu Dalong will try his best to solve these problems.
Xu Dalong first found Zheng Xirong and asked him to figure out where the needed supplies could be obtained.
Zheng Xirong sent telegrams to various intelligence stations and asked them to find the source of these materials locally.
Soon after, all kinds of information came over. The required materials such as generators, winches, mine cars, and steel cables for pulling the mine cars were found in a centralized solution place, that is, there are many coal mines in the direction of Yangquan.
Most of these coal mines are controlled by the Japanese.
As long as a Japanese-controlled coal mine can be built, all these problems can be solved.
Now that he had an idea, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Representative Wang of the Eighth Route Army Office in the World War II Zone, asking him to contact the underground party intelligence agency in Yangquan and ask them to provide relevant information about the Japanese army's coal mines.
