The group of Japs who transported the weapons were all selected cadres, and their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
With their participation, the guerrillas were unable to conquer the county seat and became angry.
They surrounded the county town from a distance and sent people back to call for reinforcements.
The Japanese squadron leader was also worried that something might happen to these weapons, and sent a telegram to his superiors, asking them to send troops to reinforce Ping'an County.
The Mawushan guerrillas are now mechanized troops or cavalry. They arrived very quickly. Before the Japanese reinforcements arrived, large groups of people came over. Among these troops, there were actually many tanks.
The guerrillas quickly launched an attack. They took tanks as the lead, followed by large groups of infantry, and rushed towards the county seat.
When they repelled the guerrilla attack last time, the Japanese army did not use the rapid-fire cannons they carried in order to avoid exposing them. But now that they saw that the guerrillas had tanks, they had to take out those rapid-fire cannons and put them into battle.
Xu Dalong clearly knew that the Japanese army had anti-tank weapons, but still sent tanks over. It seemed too risky, but it was not.
Xu Dalong understands the performance of the Japanese rapid-fire artillery. They use armor-piercing projectiles. Although they can effectively penetrate the armor of armored vehicles, they cannot penetrate the armor on the front of the tank turret. Even if it hits other parts, because the fuel tank and ammunition box are at the back,
It won't do much damage to tanks either.
This not only achieved the purpose of exposing the Japanese army to these rapid-fire artillery pieces, but also avoided causing heavy losses.
This time, the guerrillas came directly to more than 2,000 people. Of course, the small Pingan County town could not be defended. Soon after, the guerrillas captured the county town and seized these rapid-fire cannons.
The Japanese reinforcements left Lingao City. When they asked the Japanese defenders in Ping'an County, they learned that the Mawushan guerrillas had too many troops, so they asked Chiba Xunyi for instructions to stop the reinforcements, and soon retreated.
With the acquisition of these rapid-fire artillery pieces, the guerrillas strengthened their air defense capabilities.
Xu Dalong sent four of these rapid-fire guns to the transport squadron to strengthen their self-protection capabilities, and the rest were given to the tank troops.
This time Cui Zhenyue was more confident, and even if he encountered the Japanese air force, he would still be able to fight.
The Japanese army really thought they were unlucky when they lost these rapid-fire artillery pieces, and did not suspect that the information had been leaked internally.
Zheng Xirong told Takahashi Bei all about the incident. Takahashi Bei felt more at ease when he saw that the guerrillas were thinking about him so much.
Xu Dalong and others led the troops back to Mawu Mountain. When passing by Guancheng County, Wang Chengzhu suggested: "Captain, now that there are no large groups of Japanese troops around Mawu Mountain, we should occupy the county seat and take our
The brigade headquarters moved to the county town."
Sun Desheng also said: "Yes, captain, Chu Yunfei and the others can occupy three county towns, so what are we afraid of? We might as well occupy the Wancheng county seat and stay here from now on."
To be honest, Xu Dalong also likes to live in the city, and his life is much more comfortable than in the mountains.
He felt that what Wang Chengzhu and Sun Desheng said was reasonable. The guerrillas now had such a strong force that they would not be afraid of them even if the Japanese army came over. Even if they were unable to defeat them, they could still retreat to the mountains in time.
Xu Dalong made up his mind, waved his hand vigorously and said: "Brothers! Let's go to the city."
When the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas heard that they were going to live in the city, they were all very excited. They drove at full speed and went straight to Guancheng County.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the county had already been frightened by the guerrillas. Seeing such a large guerrilla force surrounding the county, they did not hesitate at all and opened the city gates to surrender.
The guerrillas entered the city, and the brigade headquarters was located in the Japanese military police.
The Zhengfu of the central county of Mawushan also moved into the city and was located in the Zhengfu of the county during the Zhengfu period of the Guo people, which is now the location of the Japanese army's maintenance association.
When attacking Ping'an County, four cars were seized. This time when attacking Guancheng County, three more cars were seized.
Xu Dalong believes that the Mawushan Guerrillas are only a deputy regiment-level guerrilla group, and the specifications for using these cars are still a bit high.
He planned to keep two of these cars for the office of the County Zheng Mansion, give one to the Eighth Route Army Office of the World War II District Governor, and send the rest to the Independent Regiment for the regiment leader to hand over to his superiors.
Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu both had objections. They said that they had to deal with the Guo Army here. There were only a few cars to greet them, which was really too shabby. Chu Yunfei and the others were sitting there when they came.
We came by car, we can't let Guojun look down on us.
Monk Wei, Zheng Xirong, and Wang Xiaohu all share the same opinion. They feel that although the guerrillas are a nominal deputy regiment-level unit, they are powerful, at least on par with Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade. In some scenes, the
There is still something to talk about.
Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Xu Dalong stopped insisting.
He then asked someone to send a car to the Eighth Route Army office in the World War II zone, and kept the rest.
The Mawushan guerrillas moved into Guancheng County, and Xu Dalong sent a telegram to report to the independent group.
Independent Regiment Department.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Xu Dalong and his gang of brats have had a more and more comfortable life in their childhood. They spend all day in the ravines, but they live a comfortable life in the city. It is simply outrageous."
Zhang Dabiao also said: "Yes, they are living upstairs and downstairs in the city with electric lights and telephones, and they still ride in cars when they go out. It's really annoying."
Zhao Gang knew that these two men were telling a joke, so he jokingly said: "Instead of envying Xu Dalong and the others, why don't we also capture a Japanese county and move our independent regiment there too."
Although Zhao Gang was joking, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao couldn't stand the excitement.
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, I like what you say. Let's go to the county town where the Japanese are fighting and move our independent group into the city."
Zhang Dabiao took Li Yunlong's words seriously when he heard what he said. He said: "The nearest county town to us is on the Shitai Highway. It is an important transportation road. It's okay to conquer the county town, but I'm afraid we can't live in it. I don't think we have such a big appetite.
Just capture Qingxi Town, which is closest to us. That town is not small, and its prosperity is similar to that of the county seat. I will send people to reconnoiter the enemy's situation."
Zhao Gang saw that the two of them were serious and said quickly: "This is not okay. Our mission is to serve as flank guards of the headquarters. If we leave this area, our superiors will definitely not agree.
Besides, although Qingxi Town is a small town, it is not far from the main traffic road, and the Japanese can attack at any time, so I think we should forget it."
As soon as he mentioned that the independent regiment was responsible for the security mission for the headquarters, Li Yunlong became angry and said: "What kind of nonsense is the mission our independent regiment is responsible for? It's like a nail, nailing us here. I'm going to find the brigade commander right away.
, let other regiments take on this task, our independent regiment should also be like Xu Dalong and others, fight however we want, how happy that would be."
Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao has been looking forward to this for a long time. Even Zhao Gang also hopes that the independent regiment will have independent combat rights.
Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, if you go to see the brigade commander, I will go with you. Our independent regiment has strong soldiers and horses, and now we have a chariot battalion. With such a strong combat effectiveness, I feel suffocated when we use it to guard homes and nursing homes."
Panic."
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, I like to hear what you say. Let's leave now and go to the brigade headquarters for lunch."
Of course Zhang Dabiao hoped that the regiment leader and political commissar could tell the truth about this matter. He would immediately go out and call for people to prepare horses for the regiment leader and political commissar.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Lao Li, are you still alive?"
Li Yunlong laughed when he heard this and said: "Kong Er is stupid, you kid, you will curse Lao Zi as soon as you come here."
When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard that Kong Jie was coming, they came out to greet him.
I couldn't help but feel even more happy when I saw that not only Kong Jie but also Ding Wei, the leader of the new regiment, was coming.
Li Yunlong said: "Old Ding, why did you get together with Kong Er? As I said, we haven't seen each other for almost a year in the blink of an eye. Today we brothers are going to have a good drink."
Ding Wei was also a fastidious person. He stepped forward to exchange military salutes with Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao, shook hands and said hello, and then answered Li Yunlong's words.
He said: "I came to the headquarters for a meeting this time. Lao Kong said that he hasn't seen you for a while, so he came with me to see you."
Everyone walked into the conference room chatting and laughing. Zhang Dabiao took a step behind and ordered the security guard to notify the cooking team to prepare a banquet, and then followed everyone into the conference room.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Ding, it's you who stole Laozi's job. The new regiment that we, Old Li, worked so hard to bring out, were taken away by you. The superior asked Laozi to replace Kong Erluzi's independent regiment.
, this guy Lao Kong led the Independent Regiment like a beggar. Now look at Laozi’s Independent Regiment, which has more than two thousand people, a full set of Japanese equipment, an artillery company, a cavalry company, and a tank battalion.
,How is it? Are you envious?"
Ding Wei has better self-control skills and ignores Li Yunlong.
Kong Jie quit, and said: "Lao Li, you are a dog, and you will bite whoever you catch. If you talk about Lao Ding, just talk about Lao Ding, why are you bringing me up?"
Don’t be so blind, the Independent Group is what it is today, and it’s not because Brother Dalong and the others got it for you, what’s so cool about it?”
Li Yunlong said: "Kong Er is stupid, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. Your new second regiment's equipment has been completely changed, including machine guns and artillery. Brother Dalong didn't help you get it.
Besides, Xu Dalong is a member of Laozi’s independent group, so it’s right to be filial to Laozi, but your anger is of no use.”
At this time, Ding Wei was really angry. His New Regiment used to be one of the best-equipped underground party armed groups, but now it cannot compare with the Independent Regiment and Kong Jie's New Second Regiment.
He said dissatisfied: "Lao Kong is right, you Li Yunlong is a mad dog. Speaking of Xu Dalong, you still have the nerve to say that Xu Dalong was a member of the New Group back then, and you insisted on poaching him away from me. I see
For the sake of my old comrades, I didn’t stop you. I also gave up Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and Wang Xiaohu to you. Otherwise, would the benefit be your turn? Lao Kong and I came to see you with good intentions. You crazy dog opened your mouth.
Just biting randomly is too unjust."
What Kong Jie and Ding Wei said made sense to a certain extent. If Li Yunlong seriously argued with them, he would be a bit unreasonable.
But he was very thick-skinned, laughed, and said: "Look, you two are such big men that you can't even make a joke. Okay, when we drink later, Laozi punishes himself with three drinks and asks you two
Just apologize, okay?"
Kong Jie smiled and said, "That's pretty much it."
Ding Wei also smiled and said he didn't care about Li Yunlong.
