Two hundred and seventieth chapters do not do something
Under Li Yunlong's instruction, the battalions and companies of the Independent Regiment left their base areas one after another and entered enemy-occupied areas. They spread out in all directions and harassed the Japanese and puppet troops.
They entered various villages and towns, publicized anti-Japanese ideas, and called on young people to join the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. In the areas on the edge of the base area, the underground party armed forces carried out regular activities and vigorously carried out publicity and education. Therefore, the recruitment of new recruits progressed relatively smoothly, and basically all battalions and companies
Some people have been recruited.
However, the number of villages and towns on the edge of the base area was small after all, and the number of recruits was far from reaching Li Yunlong's goal. Therefore, each battalion and company continued to penetrate deep into enemy-occupied areas.
As the enemy's situation deepens into the enemy-occupied areas, the enemy's situation becomes more and more serious. The troops who go out to fight often have fierce battles with the Japanese and puppet troops. Some troops fight relatively smoothly, while others suffer considerable losses.
When a company of the Sixth Battalion of the Independent Regiment attacked a stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops, the resistance of the Japanese and puppet troops was very tenacious. They fought for a long time but could not defeat it.
While observing the enemy's situation, the company commander was accidentally hit by a stray bullet and died on the spot.
This angered the soldiers of this company. Under the leadership of the deputy company commander, they launched a fierce attack on the enemy's stronghold, and suffered a lot of casualties as a result.
Since this stronghold was relatively close to the highway, a rapid mobile force of the Japanese army came over for reinforcements and launched an attack on the officers and soldiers of this company.
The Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold saw the reinforcements arriving and took the opportunity to rush out.
Seeing that they were outnumbered, the officers and soldiers of the underground party had no choice but to retreat while fighting. After a bloody battle, they finally got rid of the enemy and returned to their base area.
Li Yunlong heard that the troops had been defeated, so he came to this company. He saw that when the company went out, there were more than 110 people, but only more than 50 people came back. The company commander and deputy company commander were all killed, and the instructor was also seriously injured.
, he lost a lot of weapons and ammunition, and he immediately became furious.
Li Yunlong immediately ordered the troops to be assembled and dispatched the tank battalion, artillery battalion and three infantry battalions to the enemy stronghold and defeated it forcefully to avenge the sacrifice of his comrades.
This incident happened to be known by a cadre of the Propaganda Department of Taiyue Military Region, so he reported it to the division.
The superiors were very angry about Li Yunlong's unauthorized actions and asked the brigade commander (later renamed commander) to hold Li Yunlong accountable and report the results to the division headquarters.
The commander was very angry, called Li Yunlong and scolded him, and then asked Li Yunlong to put him in solitary confinement for a day, saying that he would take good care of him.
Li Yunlong didn't care at all. He followed the commander's order and locked himself in a room. However, he didn't have the consciousness to be in confinement at all. He drank a little wine and chatted with others.
The commander is a protective person. Even though he reprimanded Li Yunlong and even put him in solitary confinement, he reported to the division that the independent regiment went out to fight with his approval, so the division did not accept the matter.
I didn’t ask any more questions.
In any case, the recruitment work of the independent regiment has made significant progress. During this period of outing fighting, more than 1,100 puppet troops were annihilated and more than 940 new soldiers were recruited. Li Yunlong pulled up a regiment.
Shelf, added these new recruits.
Even so, Li Yunlong was still not satisfied and felt that the number of soldiers was still a bit small, so he came up with Xu Dalong's idea.
Guancheng County.
Zhao Gang took the telegram sent by Li Yunlong and said with a smile: "Captain Li still has the same temperament and will not suffer at all. He asked us to add 500 people to them. What do you think we should do?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "The Independent Group is our natal family. They are going to expand into a new brigade. We must support it. I just have an idea that I want to discuss with you."
What Xu Dalong means is that after all, the Independent Brigade is from the Huang Xiejun troops. Although it has made great progress recently, the gap with the main force of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces is still not small. Xu Dalong wants to recruit dozens of backbones from the Independent Brigade and decentralize them.
Go to the independent brigade, and at the same time transfer a battalion of troops from the independent brigade to join Li Yunlong's new brigade.
Zhao Gang thinks this idea is a good one. It not only replenishes Li Yunlong's troops, but also adds fresh blood to the Independent Brigade. The original veterans of the Independent Regiment have a fine tradition cultivated by the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces for a long time. With them joining the Independent Brigade, they can promote
The transformation of the independent brigade also achieved the purpose of supplementing Li Yunlong's troops.
After the two discussed it, they called the independent brigade commander Wang Limin, deputy political commissar Gao Zhiyong, and chief of staff Huang Jingzhong to discuss the matter with them.
Of course Gao Zhiyong was very happy to be able to transfer some old underground party combat cadres to the independent brigade, and he immediately expressed his approval.
Wang Limin and Huang Jingzhong were somewhat reluctant to transfer their troops to a battalion. However, Xu Dalong took great care of the Independent Brigade, adding a large number of new soldiers to the Independent Brigade, and never treated him poorly in terms of materials, funds, weapons and equipment.
Yes, so the two of them did not express any objection.
Li Yunlong heard that Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang directly added a reorganized battalion to them. This is a combat force that has been tested by blood and fire. It is more than a hundred times stronger than recruiting a group of new recruits Danzi. Not only that, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang also gave them a reorganized battalion.
He also brought all the weapons and equipment he carried with him, which was equivalent to providing an additional battalion of equipment for Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was very happy and praised Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang for being good friends.
However, Li Yunlong was still a little distressed when he heard that he was asked to transfer 50 combat cadres from the independent regiment to the Mawushan base area.
You must know that the old fighting backbone of the independent regiment has been lost almost, and the current fighting backbone is also the general who was selected from the setbacks, constantly updated and cultivated.
The independent regiment was expanded into the new First Brigade, and the gap in the backbone was huge. 50 people had to be transferred at once, which made him feel very distressed.
Seeing Li Yunlong's look, Zhang Dabiao knew what he was thinking.
He said: "Captain, Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei are really good friends to us, and we can't treat them badly. I suggest that we follow their requirements and send 50 combat cadres over."
Li Yunlong is a very particular person. Although he will take advantage of others, he has to treat Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang differently.
Seeing Zhang Dabiao exposing his secrets, he stared and said: "Zhang Dabiao, what do you mean? Did I say that I won't send people to Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei? People must be sent.
, we also need to select a group of elites, we cannot let Brother Dalong and Commissioner Zhao Zheng say that our independent group is stingy."
Soon after, Xu Dalong sent Wei Monk and Wang Pao to escort the officers and soldiers of a battalion of the Independent Brigade to the Independent Regiment and handed them over to Li Yunlong. Not only that, in order to celebrate the expansion of the Independent Regiment into the new First Brigade, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang also asked Monk Wei
The others also brought equipment for an infantry battalion and 5,000 yuan.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were both very happy and asked Monk Wei to take care of them when they returned.
Li Yunlong was very good at mobilizing the emotions of the troops. In order to give Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang an explanation, and at the same time to mobilize the enthusiasm of the newly arrived independent brigade officers and soldiers, Li Yunlong decided to use the officers and soldiers of this battalion as the basis to expand into the newly formed first brigade.
In the Fourth Regiment, all the backbones from battalion commander to squad leader and above have been promoted in their positions. This result made the newly arrived officers and soldiers of the independent brigade very happy.
The news reached the Independent Brigade. Originally, Wang Limin, Huang Jingzhong and the old brothers of the Independent Brigade were worried that the officers and soldiers of this battalion would be wronged when they arrived at the Independent Regiment. Seeing such a result, they were all happy for them.
Since the Mawushan guerrillas, the independent brigade and the Jinsui Army took the initiative to attack, disrupting the Japanese army's combat deployment to attack the Mawushan base area, they were unable to organize troops in a short period of time. Therefore, the situation around the Mawushan base area was relatively stable for the time being.
The small unit continued to go out to seize supplies and funds, and began to focus on the internal construction of the base together with Zhao Gang.
That morning, Wang Xiaohu came to Zhao Gang with his account book. He said worriedly: "Commissioner Zheng, our account will soon be out of money. You tell the team leader and find a way to get more money back, otherwise
If so, it will soon be impossible to uncover the pot.”
Zhao Gang looked at the account books and felt a headache. Recently, he had planned to build a laboratory and purchased a large amount of medical equipment, which cost a lot of money. The air force's maintenance expenses were huge, and the arsenal's production of aerial bombs occupied a lot of time.
The huge amount of money. These additional expenses made Zhao Gang a little breathless.
Zhao Gang came to Xu Dalong and urged him to find a way to get a large amount of money back.
Xu Dalong also feels a little headache now. In the counties around the base area, because the anti-Japanese armed forces have repeatedly searched and seized Japanese and puppet assets, the wealthy Japanese and puppet personnel have fled. Therefore, even if they try to capture the counties again, it will still be difficult.
Not much oil or water can be caught.
If you go out to fight at a long distance, although you can seize a batch of funds, the cost of dispatching a large force is also not small, and the battle will also cause great losses.
According to the current method, if we want to continue to rely on seizures to maintain the operation of the entire Mawu Mountain base, it has begun to seem a little inadequate.
Xu Dalong knows that if Qingmei Su can be developed successfully, he will be rich in wealth in the future and will never be short of money again. However, the development of Qing Mei Su has just begun. If he wants to truly develop it and put it into production, there is another step.
It is a very long process that cannot be expected at the moment. Not only that, funds must be continuously invested in it.
Xu Dalong thought for a while and then said: "Zhao Zhengwei, don't worry. We can save as much as possible in the base area. I will find a way to deal with the recent gap."
Xu Dalong really has no better way at the moment. He can only reach out and borrow money.
Li Kun received the telegram from Xu Dalong and came to the Chief of Staff of the World War II Zone to report Xu Dalong's request to him.
The chief of staff wrote a note without asking further questions and asked Li Kun to find the logistics department to negotiate and resolve this issue.
Soon after, Li Kun sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, saying that he had prepared 30,000 oceans, 50,000 French currency, and Shanxi painted faces worth 50,000 French currency.
After receiving the telegram from Xu Dalong, General Fu of the Zhongtiao Mountain Command was also very happy and sent someone to send 50,000 oceans and 50,000 French currency to Xu Dalong.
When Chu Yunfei heard that Xu Dalong was in trouble, he also sent 10,000 oceans and 30,000 French currency.
Whether it was the World War II District Chief, the Zhongtiao Mountain Headquarters, or Chu Yunfei, they all said that Xu Dalong could use the money as much as he wanted. If he had enough money, he would return it to them. If he didn't have it, forget it.
Zhao Gang was very happy to see Xu Dalong being so respectable. With this money, he felt much more at ease.
When he saw that Xu Dalong had borrowed so much money, he wondered where he could borrow more.
He happened to see Wang Shuhuai, the logistics director of Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division, coming to the base area, so he borrowed money from him in the name of Xu Dalong.
Wang Shuhuai returned to Lingao City and reported Xu Dalong's request to Yan Guiwu. Yan Guiwu wanted to express his gratitude to Xu Dalong and to get closer to Xu Dalong, so he asked Wang Shuhuai to send 50,000 yuan and a gift worth 20,000 yuan.
Dayang's Shanxi man had a colorful face and clearly told Xu Dalong that the money was not lent to Xu Dalong, but given directly to him.
With money in his wallet, Zhao Gang suddenly became more confident. The wrinkles on his forehead that had originally caused him to worry miraculously disappeared, and his face regained its rosy look.
In order to raise as much funds as possible, Xu Dalong contacted the Taiyuan Underground Party Intelligence Station, the Shanxi-Sui Army Intelligence Station and the Military Reunion Taiyuan Working Group, asking them to provide valuable economic goals. If there were suitable goals, Xu Dalong would send special agents
The team goes to grab it.
After a period of time, the three intelligence agencies did not find any suitable targets. There were many Japanese companies in Taiyuan City, and there were many valuable goods in their warehouses, but there was very little cash, because most of the cash was stored in banks.
This is not what Xu Dalong wants. He can only ask for cash, and even if he grabs other supplies, he cannot bring them out, so the goals they provide are not ideal.
On this day, Xu Dalong and others were holding a regular meeting, and Lin Xueying came in with a telegram.
The telegram was sent by Wang Yaohui, leader of the military reunification Taiyuan working group, saying that the Taiyuan working group had insiders in the Japanese Bank of Japan in Taiyuan and could provide information on the internal situation of the bank, and suggested that Xu Dalong send people to rob the Japanese bank.
Sun Desheng said happily: "It's good to rob a bank! I heard that the bank is full of money, too much to count. We can rob a lot of money at one time, which is much more exciting than going out to fight piecemeal."
Wang Chengzhu was similar to Sun Desheng. He didn't know much about banks. He just heard that there was a lot of money there. He also agreed with Sun Desheng's opinion and suggested that he rob the Japanese bank directly.
Wang Limin and others also thought this was a good idea, but they were worried that there were too many Japanese and puppet troops in Taiyuan, and it would be very difficult to rob a bank. They agreed, but reminded Xu Dalong that he must be cautious in this matter.
Zhao Gang needed money very much now and was very tempted by this proposal. He just felt that there was something wrong and he hadn't figured it out yet, so he didn't express his position.
Everyone looked expectantly at Xu Dalong to hear what he had to say.
To everyone's disappointment, Xu Dalong shook his head and said: "You can't rob the bank's money."
Sun Desheng asked in confusion: "Why can't you rob it? That's the kid's bank. If you don't rob it, it's nothing."
"Yes, why can't we rob the Japanese bank?" Wang Chengzhu asked in confusion.
Everyone didn't understand why Xu Dalong said this for a moment, and they all cast doubtful glances at him.
Xu Dalong said: "It's true that the bank has money, and it's no problem that Zhengjin Bank was founded by the little devils. But the money in the bank is not just the little devils' own money, most of it is deposited by the people in Taiyuan City.
If we go and rob the money, the little devils will not be responsible for it. What will be lost is the people's money. If we do this, the people will definitely criticize us."
"So that's it. Then this bank really can't be robbed." Sun Desheng said regretfully.
Everyone also felt a little discouraged.
Zhao Gang originally felt that something was wrong. After hearing what Xu Dalong said, he suddenly understood and said: "What the captain said makes sense. We are a people's team. We must always think about the people and never do anything that harms the interests of the people."
.
The captain considers issues very comprehensively. From now on, everyone must learn from the captain and think of the interests of the people at all times, and no one can do anything that damages the reputation of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces."
After the meeting, everyone left. Zhao Gang was a little unwilling because he couldn't find a suitable target to steal money from.
He said to Xu Dalong: "The intelligence station in Taiyuan City can't provide any suitable targets. Yan Guiwu's Huang Xiejun is in the enemy-occupied area. They know the local situation. Let them provide some targets. What do you think?"
Xu Dalong felt that what Zhao Gang said made sense. He nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division has a large jurisdiction. They know the local Japanese and puppet situation very well and should be able to provide valuable clues."
Zhao Gang did what he said and immediately drafted a telegram and asked Lin Xueying to send it to Wang Shuhuai.
After Lin Xueying left, Zhao Gang was still thinking about whether there were any other sources of intelligence.
He thought of Li Yunlong and wanted to say hello to him and see if there were any suitable goals that the two families could work on together. But he knew Li Yunlong too well. If there was such a good thing, I'm afraid he would do it himself. Thinking of this
, he smiled bitterly, and his thoughts turned to other places.
Xu Dalong knew what Zhao Gang was thinking. Now that Zhao Gang is the real housekeeper of the base, Xu Dalong knew how much pressure he was under.
He said: "Commissioner Zheng, don't you have many classmates? Find a way to contact them. Our sights should not be limited to Taiyuan. We can also focus on the areas surrounding our base and other big cities, such as Peking or Baoding.
,sjz, can all be considered.”
Zhao Gang heard this and said in agreement: "This method can be considered. Let me think carefully and see which classmate to contact first, and then contact other classmates through them. I think there will always be a chance."
Zhao Gang did not consider Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong had the same idea as Zhao Gang.
The newly established First Brigade Headquarters.
Li Yunlong desperately expanded his army. Now his new first brigade has four infantry regiments, a tank battalion, an artillery battalion, and a team directly under the brigade headquarters, with a strength of more than 8,000.
There were more people in the army, and he was indeed very prestigious as a brigade commander. However, with so many people asking for food and a lot of expenses in other areas, Li Yunlong was under great pressure.
On this day, Li Yunlong was discussing with Zhang Dabiao where to get a sum of money to support the expenses of the newly established First Brigade.
Zhang Dabiao suggested: "Brigadier, our new brigade has just been established, and the original independent group's family resources are simply not enough. You might want to contact Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei and let them help first."
Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "It's true that we have difficulties, but the stalls of Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei are much bigger than ours, and they are under greater pressure. We can't cause them trouble."
Zhang Dabiao asked worriedly: "Then what should we do?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "What should we do? We still have to go to the little devils and puppet soldiers to get it. You think about it and see what the target is, and then we go and rob them."
As chief of staff, Zhang Dabiao must consider all aspects, especially intelligence work, which is one of the most important tasks of the chief of staff.
He shook his head and said: "This is also very difficult. Around our base area, there are currently very few Japanese and puppet assets. Even if we send troops, we won't be able to get much money. If we want to seize a large amount of funds,
It’s better to go to a big city.”
Li Yunlong said: "You should contact Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei to see if they have any goals. Our two families can work together."
Zhang Dabiao got in touch with Zhao Gang, and the result was predictable.
Li Yunlong stood in front of the map, considered it carefully for a while, and said, "Zhang Dabiao, how about you come and take a look here?"
Zhang Dabiao scratched his head after reading it and said: "Linfen is a good place and a big city in Shanxi. There must be a lot of oil and water there, but it is more than 500 kilometers away from us, and there are enemy-occupied areas in the middle. How can we get there?
"
Even though Li Yunlong's mind was spinning fast, looking at such a long distance, he felt that it might not be possible. If nothing else, his superiors would never take such a large team out of the base area and such a long distance.
Will agree.
Li Yunlong turned his attention to Yucheng again and said: "Yucheng is only more than 220 kilometers away from us. It is also a big city. What do you think we do here?"
Zhang Dabiao said: "That's where the Japs' 108th Division is located. The Japs in the city, plus the Japs in the surrounding areas, must number 20,000. That's the Japs' field force. Just one brigade of ours can't fight."
Won’t come down.”
Li Yunlong also felt that Zhang Dabiao was right, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he stared at the map and pondered over it.
Not to mention, his mind was spinning so fast that he finally came up with a solution.
After making up his mind, Li Yunlong said: "Zhang Dabiao, send a telegram to Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei to discuss with them and let's work together."
