At this moment, Xu Dalong's telegram also arrived. After reading the telegram, the brigade commander said excitedly: "Xu Dalong and the others are really good. In this battle, they actually annihilated the Japanese 215th Brigade and a unit of the 32nd Division.
There are more than 10,000 people. This is an amazing victory. Quickly convey this good news to all commanders and soldiers, and immediately attack the Japanese army and annihilate the enemy forces in front."
The brigade commander ordered Commander Cheng to lead the 69th regiment to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops, and then concentrated the other four regiments to surround the Japanese infantry brigade remaining in the village.
The reason why the brigade commander did this was not that he didn't want to eat all the Japanese troops, but that he was a pragmatic person and knew that it was impossible to eat all the Japanese troops just by relying on his troops. Moreover, the enemy situation in this area was complicated and the Japanese army could not use it.
How long will it take before other reinforcements will be mobilized to come and reinforce?
Many Japanese troops had been wiped out in previous battles. Being able to annihilate the surrounded Japanese infantry brigade would have been a great success. After the brigade commander decided to annihilate this group of Japanese troops, he immediately led his troops to join Xu Dalong in order to avoid suffering
unnecessary losses.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had a great battle. They had a huge appetite and wanted to eat all the Japanese troops, especially when they heard that Xu Dalong and others actually annihilated a Japanese brigade and part of the 32nd Division.
.
Seeing the Japanese army escaping, they wanted to catch up. After receiving the order from the brigade commander, they felt very unhappy, but this time they did not dare to disobey the order again on the battlefield, so they vented all their anger on the Japanese soldiers who stayed in the village.
.
They commanded the troops to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army. In less than two hours, they completely annihilated all the Japanese troops remaining in the village.
The brigade commander's judgment was correct, and he soon received a report from a scout that Japanese reinforcements were approaching this area. Once the Japanese reinforcements joined the remnants of the 108th Division, they would immediately switch to counterattack.
In order to avoid losses, the brigade commander ordered all units to seize the time to clean up the battlefield and quickly move closer to Xu Dalong's headquarters.
Under the cover of the guerrilla tank troops, the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade quickly entered the village. After a fierce battle, they completely annihilated the remaining Japanese troops in the village. Unfortunately, the Japanese brigade commander was very stubborn.
Committed suicide by seppuku.
However, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others were very satisfied with the results. The officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade cheered in unison to celebrate the victory.
Seeing Xu Dalong and others coming over, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong walked up to them and had a warm conversation with them.
Xu Dalong once again expressed his gratitude to Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others. This time, the 358 Brigade spent almost all of its money to help the guerrillas fight this battle. If the 358 Brigade had not arrived in time, the guerrillas would not only have
It is impossible to achieve such great results and suffer heavy losses.
Xu Dalong took out the 100,000 yuan that he had already prepared and wanted to give it to Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong to express his gratitude.
The reason why Xu Dalong did this is because the 358th Brigade dispatched so many people and horses to consume a lot of food, ammunition, and other materials. Not to mention that they also killed many officers and soldiers during the battle. These are all to provide pensions to their families.
Gold. So, in order to help the guerrillas fight, the 358 Brigade paid a heavy price.
Chu Yunfei was in high spirits. When he saw Xu Dalong doing this, he immediately became unhappy and said: "Brother Dalong, what are you doing? This is too foreign. It is the duty of a soldier to fight against Japanese invaders. Even if you are not here,
To help your guerrillas, why don't we fight the Japanese when we see them? Doing so is clearly looking down on people."
Fang Ligong was also a little embarrassed and said: "Yes, Commander Xu, the brigade is right, we are all brothers, why are you so polite? Without your guerrillas to set up the stage, our 358th Brigade would not have achieved such great results.
As for our losses, if we report the battle losses to our superiors, they will definitely make up for it, so you don’t have to worry about these."
Hearing what Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong said, Xu Dalong stopped insisting. He smiled and said: "I'm sorry, brother, my pattern is too shallow. Chief Chu and Chief Fang are upright and upright. Brother, I have recorded this friendship.
, on behalf of the Mawushan guerrillas, I would like to thank Commander Chu, Commander Fang and all the brothers of the 358th Brigade again."
Seeing Xu Dalong taking back Dayang, Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "That's about the same. Brother Dalong, we have captured so much Japanese equipment in this battle that our Jinsui Army has no need, so we will keep a small part and take it back for display.
Everything else is yours as well."
Xu Dalong once again expressed his gratitude to Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.
In this battle, due to the precedent of the last Japanese surrender, more than 40 Japanese officers and soldiers of the Japanese 32nd Division surrendered to the guerrillas during the battle. The 358th Brigade also captured more than a dozen Japanese prisoners.
I hope that I can take some of the prisoners back to the headquarters of the World War II district commander and ask the commanders to take a look at their results.
Xu Dalong readily agreed. For other Japanese prisoners, Xu Dalong still used the old method to bandage and treat their wounds, and then released them.
Next, Xu Dalong proposed that it was still possible to encounter other Japanese troops on the road, and hoped that Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and the brothers of the 358th Brigade would send the guerrillas another way.
When Chu Yunfei heard that he was going to meet with the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and others, he readily agreed, so the Mawushan guerrillas and the 358th Brigade joined forces and continued to march towards the Taihang Mountains.
Five hours later, Xu Dalong, Chu Yunfei and others led the troops to join the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and others.
When Chu Yunfei saw the brigade commander, he hurried forward and stood at attention respectfully to salute. Although Chu Yunfei was also a brigade commander, his qualifications were far inferior to those of the brigade commander.
Chu Yunfei graduated from the fourth phase of Huangpu. The brigade commander was once an instructor at Huangpu. When Chu Yunfei was still a student, the brigade commander was already a division-level commander.
Therefore, when Chu Yunfei saw the brigade commander, he said very respectfully: "Hello instructor, Chu Yunfei, a member of the fourth batch of Huangpu, would like to say hello to you."
The brigade commander returned the military salute, stepped forward to hold Chu Yunfei's hand, and said cordially: "Chief Chu, thank you for your support to the underground party armed forces. Xu Dalong already said in the telegram that it was you who extended a helping hand at the critical moment.
, saved the crisis, defeated the Japanese army, and achieved such great results. On behalf of the underground party armed forces, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Commander Chu and all the officers and soldiers of the 358th Brigade."
Seeing the brigade commander's attitude, Chu Yunfei and others felt very happy.
At this time Li Yunlong came over. He first exchanged military salutes with Chu Yunfei and said happily: "Brother Yunfei, we meet again, hahahaha."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Yunlong, you are fine."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Okay! It's good. I only need to beat the Japanese to feel good."
After everyone chatted together for a while, the brigade commander invited Chu Yunfei to visit the Taihang Mountain base area.
Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others fought such a great victory. They were eager to return to the World War II District Chief's Headquarters to report their merits, so they declined.
Everyone said goodbye to each other, and Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong led the 358th Brigade on their way home.
The brigade commander, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and the officers and soldiers of each regiment were very moved when they looked at the huge armored cluster of the Mawushan guerrillas and the long convoy that was almost as far as the eye could see.
The brigade commander said: "Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu, you have done an outstanding job in Mawushan. Not only did you create the Mawushan base area, but you also developed a huge anti-Japanese armed force. It is really not easy."
Li Yunlong was very proud of Xu Dalong's achievements.
He smiled and said: "When Xu Dalong was in the cooking class, I saw that he was a talent, and then promoted him, which shows that I, Li Yunlong, still have a good eye for people. Haha, hahaha!"
Kong Jie and other group leaders saw Li Yunlong's proud look and felt a little unhappy, but they had to be convinced. After all, Xu Dalong was from the independent group, and his achievements were there. They couldn't be convinced.
no.
Next, the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, Xu Dalong and others led the troops and escorted the supplies to the Taihang Mountain base area.
It is said that Xu Dalong and others are here to escort the supplies this time. They only need to hand over the supplies to the brigade commander and take them back. The brigade commander asked them to go to the Taihang Mountain base together because the brigade commander had new ideas.
The Mawushan guerrillas have a powerful armored group, sufficient artillery firepower, a large number of cavalry troops and motorized troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is also very strong. He plans to return to the Taihang Mountain base and ask his superiors for instructions to launch an offensive campaign against the Japanese army.
Break the Japanese blockade of the Taihang Mountain base area.
On the way, Li Yunlong saw Xu Dalong actually getting into a car. He also got into the car and sat with Xu Dalong.
Li Yunlong said with some emotion: "Brother Dalong, you really know how to enjoy things. This car is more comfortable than riding a horse."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, if you like it, I will give you two cars."
Li Yunlong was very happy after hearing this, but he still shook his head with some regret and said: "Our independent regiment is with the headquarters. The leaders don't do anything special. When we go out, we always ride horses. If I take a car, it will be too much."
It’s outrageous. It’s better to be there, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so you can do whatever you want.”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Captain, why don't you just ask the brigade commander for instructions and bring the independent regiment to Mawu Mountain. I am still under your leadership, and we can do it together."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he was obviously very interested in this proposal.
However, he thought for a while and said: "Let's forget it. It's all in vain. The brigade commander will definitely not agree."
Li Yunlong is really self-aware. He is just a donkey who loves to kick his child. It is impossible for the brigade commander to let him out alone. He may cause a lot of trouble. Who is willing to chase him behind the grain all day long and clean up for him?
