Xu Dalong said: "Don't worry, I will send people to reconnoiter the situation at the Japanese airport. The Japs have attacked our airport. We must retaliate in kind. Not only must we snatch away the Japs' planes, but we must also completely destroy their airport."
"
Having said this, Xu Dalong looked at the remaining planes at the airport and asked: "Except for the one intact plane, can those three be repaired?"
Bob said: "It is impossible to completely repair it. We lack spare parts. If we dismantle one aircraft and use the parts on the other two aircraft, we should be able to repair it."
Xu Dalong said: "That's it. Now we only have three planes left, and we lack aerial bombs, so we won't attack the Japanese army for the time being. I have an idea, can we just use these three planes as trainers? Let's
Select a group of educated warriors and train them into pilots."
Bob and others really had nothing to do now, so he readily agreed.
Just as everyone was preparing to return to the city, Zhao Gang looked at the airport and said with some worry: "Captain, this time the Japs' sneak attack has caused us such great losses. What if the Japs send bombers for a sneak attack again?"
Even if there is a surveillance post to notify in advance, I am afraid it will cause a lot of damage. So what should we do?"
Xu Dalong has also considered this issue and he already has an idea.
He smiled and said: "Commissioner Zheng, don't worry. At least for a while, the Japs won't send planes to bomb again."
Although Zhao Gang didn't know how Xu Dalong could do this, based on his trust in Xu Dalong, he knew that since he said this, he must have already thought of a way, so he nodded and said: "That's good."
Houma, Japanese Second Air Force.
After Yifu Takayama and others flew away from Houma Airport, the commander of the Second Air Force was anxious to know the effect of the air strike. According to time calculations, the air strike should have been completed around 9:00 a.m.
He also knew that Takayama Yisuo and others would never return. If he wanted to find out the effect of the air strike, he could only ask Chiba Xunichi for help.
So he sent a telegram to Chiba Xunyi.
Chiba Xunyi now has great trust in Yan Guiwu's ability to obtain intelligence. After receiving a telegram from the commander of the Second Air Force, he called Yan Guiwu and asked him to try to send someone to sneak into the Mawu Mountain base to find out what happened to Takayama Yifu.
Did they destroy the enemy's airfield, especially the bombers that were snatched away?
Yan Guiwu agreed to send someone to inquire about the news. After putting down the phone, he called Wang Shuhuai and asked him to send a telegram to Xu Dalong to inquire about the damage to the airport.
Xu Dalong was very worried that the Japs would continue to send planes for air raids. He was thinking of passing on false information to the Japs. After receiving the telegram from Wang Shuhuai, he sent a telegram back saying that the airport had been severely damaged and the planes had basically been destroyed.
, let him pass the news to the Japanese army like this.
After Yan Guiwu got the news, he did not tell Qianye Xunyi immediately. He deliberately delayed the time. In the evening, he called Qianye Xunyi.
He said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, after receiving your order, Beizhi immediately arranged for people to inquire about the information. Beizhi's subordinates risked their lives and sneaked into Xu Dalong's base area, and finally found out what you wanted to know.
information."
Chiba Xunyi asked: "What is the situation?"
Yang Guiwu said: "My men have gone to the airport to take a look. The airport has suffered serious damage and was bombed into a mess. All the robbed planes have been destroyed."
Chiba Xunyi has always been very afraid of the Mawushan guerrillas possessing bombers. Hearing that all those bombers were destroyed, he couldn't help but be very happy and said: "Yan Sang, this is really good news. You are very capable. I want to reward you.
I invite you to dinner and then to the theater."
Yan Guiwu was flattered and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Excellency, the Division Commander. I am willing to serve Your Excellency, the Division Commander, and I will work hard and die for you."
The commander of the Japanese Second Air Force was very happy after receiving the telegram from Chiba Xunichi. He was originally worried that the air raid by Takayama Yisuo and others would fail, and was considering organizing a new death squad if they failed to complete the mission.
to carry out air strikes. Since Takayama Yisuo and others had destroyed all the enemy's aircraft, he no longer had to worry about this matter.
The commander proudly sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, reporting the good news to him and receiving praise and praise from him.
That evening, Xu Dalong and Sun Desheng led the cavalry and chariot troops of the Mawushan guerrillas, Wei Monk's special operations squadron and Wang Pao's motorcycle squadron, Zhang Dabiao led a regiment of the New First Brigade, and Kong Jie led the
A regiment of the New Second Brigade and a regiment of the Independent Brigade led by Huang Jingzhong all drove to Lingao City.
In order to conceal their march, all the troops on this expedition were disguised as Japanese soldiers. Some of the Japanese uniforms were captured, and some were produced by clothing factories in the base area.
The military rank symbols on the Japs cannot be produced by clothing factories. This problem cannot be solved by the garment factories. The guerrillas destroyed a large number of Japs soldiers. Even if they did not capture the complete military uniforms, they brought back all the military rank symbols on them.
, sewn on those new military uniforms, no problem can be seen.
It has become a habit for the officers and soldiers of the guerrillas and independent brigades to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers, and no one has any objection to changing into Japanese military uniforms.
However, the officers and soldiers of the New First Brigade and the New Second Brigade hated the Japs deeply, and many of them were unwilling to put on the Japs' military uniforms. Even though those Zhenggong cadres worked diligently, the effect was not obvious.
Li Yunlong had many ways to deal with these thorns. He said directly: "He made you wear the clothes of the Japs to fight the Japs. If anyone is unwilling to wear them, don't go to this war."
The officers and soldiers hated the Japs so much that they wanted to fight the Japs wholeheartedly. When they heard that they would not be allowed to fight unless they wore Japs uniforms, these guys immediately shut up and put on Japanese military uniforms.
After sending Xu Dalong, Zhang Dabiao and others away, Zhao Gang accompanied Li Yunlong back to his ward.
Zhao Gang asked: "Old Li, what is your relationship with that Li Xiuqin?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I am recuperating at her home. She is the landlord."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. You are so enthusiastic about her and you invite her to a restaurant. The relationship is definitely not that simple. Do you think she is your partner?"
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, what are you talking about? Who told you that she is my partner?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Lao Li, please don't hide it from me. I am not the only one who has noticed your relationship. The captain has told me a long time ago that you are in love with Miss Xiuqin."
Li Yunlong asked with some confusion: "Did Xu Dalong tell you? When did he tell you and how did he tell you?"
Zhao Gang told Li Yunlong what Xu Dalong said to him.
Li Yunlong was even more puzzled. He didn't know how Xu Dalong knew this.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "It seems that this matter is true. Now that you admit it, let's talk about it. When do you plan to marry Li Xiuqin? You are the oldest person in our independent group. You should have solved this problem long ago. If you had set a date
, I'll take care of it for you."
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, to tell you the truth, I have really fallen in love with Li Xiuqin. I am fighting all day long and have no time to think about getting married."
Zhao Gang said: "What's wrong with the war? A war can't prevent you, Old Li, from getting married. Let's do this. After the captain and the others come back from this battle, we will make arrangements for your marriage together."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gang also said with some doubts: "The captain's vision is really vicious. How did he find out about you and Miss Xiuqin?"
Li Yunlong said: "Xu Dalong seems to be an honest man on the surface, but in fact he is very evil and evil.
By the way, Lao Zhao, I can see that the girl named Lin who is next to Xu Dalong is attracted to Dalong. He is now qualified for marriage, so you can also help him make arrangements."
When mentioning this matter, Zhao Gang is always a little worried. Although Xu Dalong said that Lin Xueying is willing to join the underground party, she has the status of a military commander after all, and the underground party's censorship is very strict. This matter may have serious consequences.
Trouble.
Not only that, it is still unknown whether the military commander will agree. Thinking about these things makes people feel headache.
Zhao Gang sighed and said: "The captain is really too young. If you, the big brother, are not married, how can it be his turn? Just take the lead first and then consider his affairs."
Xinhe County, 358 Brigade Headquarters.
The 358th Brigade continued to win battles, especially this time fighting side by side with the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces, annihilating the 16th Brigade of the Japanese Eighth Division. Chu Yunfei's reputation became even louder, and he is now a famous anti-Japanese general throughout the country.
The King of Shanxi once again wanted to promote him to the rank of lieutenant general. He listened to his father's opinions and did not want to be too public, so he declined again.
Seeing that Chu Yunfei was capable but not arrogant, the King of Shanxi also admired Chu Yunfei more and more.
The last time Xu Dalong and others sent out the main force of the entire base area in order to annihilate the 16th Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army. As a result, the base area was attacked by the Japanese army and almost caused a catastrophe. Therefore, this time they went to Lingao City with only
Some of the troops were removed, leaving a large force to ensure the security of the base area, and reported their combat operations to the 358th Brigade.
After Fang Ligong received the telegram, he came to see Chu Yunfei.
After reading the telegram, Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Dalong and the others have left the base area. We must be careful to prevent the Japanese army from taking the opportunity to invade. Please inform the regiments and ask all regiments to be on guard. Before Brother Dalong and the others come back, cancel all
The officers and soldiers were on vacation and ready to repel the Japanese attack at any time."
Fang Ligong said: "Chief Xu invited us to temporarily set up the headquarters in Guancheng County during his absence. Shall we go?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Of course I want to go, Li Yunlong happens to be there, and I just want to have a good chat with him."
Soon after, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong led a capable command organization of the 358th Brigade, escorted by the guard battalion, to Guancheng County.
This time they also brought 4,000 kilograms of high explosives, which Xu Dalong entrusted Chu Yunfei to help purchase. Chu Yunfei admired the guerrillas' method of using explosives, and he was very generous and gave these explosives to Xu Dalong for free.
When Chu Yunfei came to Guancheng County, he first visited Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were both heroes in the army. Although they came from different backgrounds and had different educational backgrounds, they cherished each other, had a lot in common, and talked very congenially.
Chu Yunfei was very interested in Xu Dalong and was very optimistic about him. Coupled with Chu Yun'er's relationship, he already had the idea of accomplishing his sister and Xu Dalong. He hoped to know more about Xu Dalong, so the topic turned to Xu Dalong.
on the body.
Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Yunlong, I heard that you single-handedly brought up Brother Dalong. How did you discover this talent?"
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong was very proud. He said: "Brother Dalong is really good. At the beginning, he was just a recruit who had just joined the army and worked as a cook in the cooking class. The first time I saw him, I felt that this guy was not simple.
, I fell in love with him at that time..."
Li Yunlong told Chu Yunfei how he promoted Xu Dalong.
Chu Yunfei asked in great detail. He had already heard most of what happened after Xu Dalong joined the army, and he also wanted to know more about Xu Dalong's origins.
He then said: "Brother Yunlong, Brother Dalong is a genius in tactics. It seems that he has obtained your true inheritance. Are you familiar with his situation before joining the army?"
Li Yunlong is a very proud man. When he heard Chu Yunfei praising himself, he said with rare humility: "Brother Dalong's skills are not passed down to him by me. That guy is really good at fighting. Speaking of which, we, Old Li, are all
I admire Brother Dalong very much.
He is similar to our old Li. He is also a rural boy who came from a poor background and has never been to school. However, he is better than our old Li. Not only is he better than our old Li, I think he is more knowledgeable than Zhao Gang, a college student in Peking City.
When it comes to marksmanship and martial arts, our old Li is no match. When it comes to knowledge, he is even more powerful. He can speak several foreign languages, drive a car, and fly an airplane. There seems to be nothing he doesn't know about other knowledge. I really don't know.
Where did the guy learn that?”
Chu Yunfei listened for a long time, but still didn't understand Xu Dalong's origin.
He asked: "Who else is in Brother Dalong's family now?"
Li Yunlong sighed and said: "Brother Dalong came from a poor background. His whole family died at the hands of the little devils, and he is the only one left."
Hearing this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sympathize with Xu Dalong. He felt pity for him in his heart and felt closer to him.
He said with emotion: "Brother Dalong's ability is indeed admirable. But his magnanimity is even more admirable. His whole family was killed by the Japanese, but he was still able to implement your underground party's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners."
