But Li Yunlong's mind is quick. He knew that since Xu Dalong raised this point, he should already have a solution. He said: "Dalong, do you have any solution?"
Xu Dalong said: "I have a plan, I don't know if it will work? I also ask the leaders to criticize and correct me."
After all, he is just a small platoon leader. He must maintain a humble attitude when offering advice and suggestions in front of the three leaders.
Li Yunlong said impatiently: "Okay, stop saying these polite words and tell me if you have any ideas."
Xu Dalong told him his plan. After Li Yunlong listened, he didn't say anything and started thinking about it.
Kong Jie said: "Old Li, I think this is a good idea. Once done, the battle will be resolved in a short time and the casualties of the troops will be very small."
Zhang Dabiao also said: "Captain, I also agree with Xu Dalong's opinion."
Li Yunlong raised his head, waved his hand and said, "That's it."
Then he issued an order and said: "Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao, and Xu Dalong, you are responsible for completing this combat mission and set off on time at 8 o'clock tonight."
Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and Xu Dalong led a battalion of more than 400 officers and soldiers of the independent regiment and marched overnight along the road scouted by Xu Dalong and others.
The 80km journey could not be covered overnight, so at dawn, they hid in a hilly area.
At noon that day, Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and others set off first. They did not go directly to Wanjia Town, but bypassed Wanjia Town and then headed to Wanjia Town from the direction of Ping'an County.
In the evening, Xu Dalong and others arrived at Wanjia Town. Second Lieutenant Watanabe saw that Xu Dalong was back and brought many gifts to himself. He was very happy and insisted on giving Xu Dalong a banquet.
So he ordered people to set up a banquet, and the commander, deputy commander and several main officers of the cavalry battalion also came to accompany them.
At the banquet, Xu Dalong made various excuses to drink with Watanabe and the puppet army officers. Later, he played tiger, stick, and chicken games with the puppet army officers. The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and everyone drank a lot of wine.
.
Zheng Xirong and others were drinking in another room. They did not allow the puppet soldiers to accompany them, and the puppet soldiers did not want to cause trouble. They drank very little, and took the opportunity to go to the toilet to observe the situation in the barracks.
There were many puppet army officers drinking with Xu Dalong, and they also tried their best to make Xu Dalong drink more.
Although Xu Dalong's body was strong, there was no way to go on like this, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet, went inside and dug his throat with his fingers, spit out the wine he drank, and continued to drink with the puppet soldiers when he came back, eventually killing Watanabe and the puppet soldiers.
The military officers were all drunk.
Tonight, Xu Dalong and others stayed in the puppet army's barracks.
It gets dark early in the winter in northwest Shanxi. At 7 o'clock in the evening, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and others led the troops on a rapid march towards Wanjia Town. At 1 o'clock in the morning, they arrived outside Wanjia Town.
In order not to cause the dogs in Wanjia Town to bark, they stopped 150 meters away from the town.
A dog's nose is very sensitive and its ears are very pointed. A native dog noticed something moving in the distance, watched with vigilance, and made a deep sound from its mouth.
However, the soldiers of the independent regiment stopped moving, and the local dogs were not threatened. They soon lost interest and became quiet.
Xu Dalong and Watanabe slept in the same room, and he looked at his watch from time to time.
Two o'clock in the morning was the agreed time to take action, so he stood up. Watanabe drank a lot and fell into a deep sleep, snoring there.
Xu Dalong pulled out the dagger and prepared to kill Watanabe. Later, he changed his mind and decided to keep the fat Japanese man.
He punched Watanabe on the head, knocking him unconscious.
The room where Xu Dalong and Watanabe slept was a suite. He opened the door. The military dog that Watanabe kept was now very familiar with Xu Dalong. It just looked at Xu Dalong and was still lying there.
Xu Dalong squatted beside it, gently stroked its hair, and suddenly cut the military dog's throat.
Xu Dalong walked to the yard, came to the room where Zheng Xirong and others lived, and knocked on the door rhythmically several times.
Zheng Xirong and others were ready. They opened the door, Xu Dalong explained a few words to them, and Zheng Xirong walked towards the door of the barracks.
At the gate of the barracks, a puppet army sentry was a little surprised when he saw Zheng Xirong walking over. He didn't understand what the Japanese was doing at the gate so late. However, the puppet army knew that he was the Japanese instructor Watanabe who was following their cavalry battalion.
Coming from a fellow villager, I wasn’t particularly alert.
Zheng Xirong walked up to the puppet army and said, "Come here, I have something to ask."
The puppet army hurriedly came forward and said politely with a smile on his face: "Taijun, what do you want to know?"
Seeing the puppet army coming to his side, Zheng Xirong suddenly looked behind the puppet army and asked, "What is that?"
The puppet soldiers instinctively looked back,
Soon after saying this, Zheng Xirong covered the puppet soldier's mouth with his left hand and stabbed the dagger into his chest with his right hand.
Xu Dalong and others had already arrived at the residence of the puppet battalion commander, deputy battalion commander and others. When he saw Zheng Xirong coming back, he made a gesture and started taking action in pairs.
The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander of the puppet army were already drunk, and Xu Dalong and others easily eliminated them.
Then they eliminated the puppet orderlies, clerks, ordnance soldiers and others in other rooms, opened the warehouse at the battalion headquarters, and took out three light machine guns from inside.
Xu Dalong and two soldiers each held a light machine gun and stood at one end of the three rows of bungalows in the puppet army dormitory, monitoring the puppet soldiers inside.
Zheng Xirong went up to the roof and used a flashlight to signal Kong Jie and others outside the town.
Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and others were already impatient. When they saw the flashlight signal in the town, they immediately led their troops and swooped towards the town.
There was only a distance of more than a hundred meters, and the soldiers rushed into the town in a short time.
The dogs in the town were alarmed and began to bark wildly.
The sleepy puppet soldiers were woken up by the dogs. They didn't know what happened for a while. It was very cold outside, many people were lazy, and no one wanted to get up first.
A puppet platoon leader was too lazy to move, so he sent a puppet soldier who was sleeping next to the door to go out and check.
The puppet soldier slowly put on his clothes and walked out of the room when he heard the sound of many people running on the street. He sensed that something was wrong and was about to shout when Xu Dalong directly pulled the trigger and knocked him to the ground.
The gunshots woke up the puppet soldiers in the house. They ran out in a chaotic manner, but Xu Dalong and others used machine guns to block them inside.
Soon, Kong Jie, Zhang Dabiao and others led the soldiers of the Independence Regiment and rushed into the puppet army's barracks. They quickly surrounded the room where the puppet soldiers lived, and fired at random from the door and windows.
, many soldiers also threw grenades inside.
The puppet soldiers in the room suffered heavy casualties and basically lost their ability to resist. When Kong Jie saw that it was almost done, he said to the soldiers around him: "Shout and ask the puppet soldiers inside to surrender."
The soldiers of the Independent Regiment shouted loudly: "We are the Eighth Route Army. We will not kill until we surrender our guns. The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners preferentially."
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison, with great momentum.
A living puppet company commander shouted and said: "Stop fighting the Eighth Route Army outside, we surrender."
Soon, the puppet soldiers threw the weapons in the house out of the doors and windows. Then they came out and surrendered.
Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao were thinking about the horses in the cavalry camp, so they hurried to the stables and were so happy to see hundreds of powerful horses in the stables.
At this time, Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and others came over.
Kong Jie said happily: "Xu Dalong did a great job. You have made a great contribution this time."
Xu Dalong said: "Captain, Wanjia Town is not far from Pingan County. You should evacuate quickly."
Kong Jie nodded and said: "We will evacuate now. Zhang Dabiao, you go gather the troops and leave quickly with the horses and captured weapons and equipment! Give the captured puppet soldiers a few words of education and put them in a room
Just stay here."
Zhang Dabiao immediately ordered the troops to prepare to evacuate.
Kong Jie suddenly remembered something and said, "Dalong, won't you come with us?"
Xu Dalong said: "Commander, please leave me the reconnaissance team at the regiment headquarters. I have some things to deal with, and then I will go after you."
Kong Jie knew that Xu Dalong acted in a measured way, so he didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Pay attention to safety."
Then he and Zhang Dabiao gathered their troops and began to evacuate.
Zheng Xirong brought all the soldiers from the reconnaissance squad over and asked, "Platoon leader, what should we do next?"
He followed Xu Dalong into such a great victory, and was very excited. He was looking forward to what Xu Dalong would do next.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I will take you to make a fortune."
Independent Regiment Department.
After breakfast, Zhao Gang felt something was wrong. When he went out for morning exercises, he did not see Kong Jie, the deputy commander, nor Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the 1st Battalion. He did not even see the troops of the 1st Battalion.
So he asked the guard to go to the barracks of the first battalion. The guard came back and reported to him that the barracks of the first battalion were empty except for the soldiers on duty. He asked the soldiers on duty and he did not know about the first battalion.
Where did it go.
Zhao Gang was a shrewd man and knew that the First Battalion must have gone out. Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao was Li Yunlong's confidant, so Li Yunlong must know about this.
So he came to Li Yunlong and asked: "Captain, what are you doing with the first battalion?"
