The chief of staff nodded and said: "Your Excellency, division commander, is wise. I understand."
After Qianye Xunyi thought for a while, he added: "Our divisions are all infantry and cannot catch up with the army. You go out of the city yourself and let the two cavalry regiments chase the enemy. Our troops will also follow.
They pursued along the railway line."
Qianye Xunyi was very afraid of Xu Dalong. It was almost dark at this time. He was worried that the 32nd garrison division would be ambushed, so he let the two cavalry regiments take the risk.
The chief of staff understood this and ordered his vehicles to be prepared and left the city to where the two cavalry regiments were stationed.
Soon after, the Japanese troops pursued them along the railway line.
Wang Pao, who had been staying outside the city to monitor the enemy troops, saw the Japanese troops dispatched, so he sent a telegram to Xu Dalong.
Sun Desheng led the cavalry troops to ambush on the east side of the railway, and Cui Zhenyue led the chariot troops to ambush on the west side of the railway. When they saw the Japanese cavalry brigade passing by, they began to approach the railway line, cutting off the Japanese army's retreat.
The large group of Japanese cavalry rushed along the railway line and entered the ambush circle of the anti-Japanese armed forces. Xu Dalong gave the order to attack.
The battle started. The officers and soldiers of the New 1st Brigade, the New 2nd Brigade and the Independent Brigade, who were ambushing both sides of the railway, fired fiercely at the Japanese marching brigade.
What the cavalry feared the most was machine guns. What the anti-Japanese armed forces ambushing around them lacked the most were machine guns. They themselves were equipped with a large number of machine guns. Not long ago, a large number of machine guns were unloaded from the military columns. There were enough machine guns to participate in the ambush of the Japanese army.
There are hundreds of bullets, plenty of ammunition, and the bullets shoot out like wind.
The Japanese cavalry had no place to hide, and they were immediately beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
The Japanese cavalry fell in pieces, and those who were lucky enough to survive were completely stunned. They were panicked and had no intention of fighting at all, and ran desperately towards the way they came.
What greeted them was still a large number of machine guns, plus Cui Zhenyue's large number of tanks and armored vehicles. The Japanese cavalry, including their horses, were like straw, being fiercely harvested by machine gun fire.
After a short time, there was no longer a standing war horse, and naturally there were no cavalry on horseback.
The battle went smoothly. From the time Xu Dalong gave the order to attack, the entire battle lasted less than 15 minutes, and the two Japanese cavalry regiments were completely wiped out.
Unfortunately, not a single war horse was captured in the entire battle. Fortunately, all the weapons and equipment of the two Japanese cavalry regiments were captured.
The person who led the 32nd garrison division out of the city was the chief of staff. He and his officers and soldiers moved slowly along the railway line with their short legs.
They had only walked a few miles after leaving the city when they saw the leading troops in front running back, saying that there was a fierce battle ahead and that two cavalry regiments had been attacked by the enemy. They also said that they had seen Ma Wushan.
Figures of guerrilla tanks and cavalry units.
The chief of staff immediately understood that this was another conspiracy by Xu Dalong.
He didn't bother to care about the life and death of the two cavalry regiments, and immediately ordered the rear troops to change into the front troops, and fled back to Lingao City.
Guancheng County.
Li Yunlong was chatting with Chu Yunfei when Zhao Gang ran in excitedly and said excitedly: "Regiment Commander, Brigadier Chu, Captain Chu, they won a great victory and captured a whole column of Japanese soldiers, a total of 24
With the weapons and ammunition in one carriage, we also managed to annihilate two Japanese cavalry regiments. Hahaha, we are rich."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "As soon as Brother Dalong makes a move, he will win a big victory. He never disappoints."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Congratulations to brother Yunlong and congratulations to Zhao Zhengwei. With such a big harvest, your army's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved."
The next morning, Xu Dalong and others returned to the base area and were welcomed by the troops who stayed behind and the people in the county.
After the celebration party, Chu Yunfei said goodbye to Xu Dalong and returned to the 358th Brigade Headquarters.
Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others saw Chu Yunfei off. Xu Dalong said: "Sir Chu, we have made great gains here, and this is inseparable from your strong support for us. In order to express my gratitude to you, I would like to express my gratitude to you.
Please accept it."
After saying that, he took out a money order worth 20,000 yuan and handed it to Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei said with some embarrassment: "Brother Dalong, what are you doing? No reward for no merit, and we didn't help much. This is too polite."
Zhao Gang said: "Sir Chu, if you don't have the 358th Brigade here to fight, we can't go out to fight with peace of mind. You deserve this. We have a big harvest this time. I originally wanted to share it with the captured supplies."
Part of it will be given to you, but you don’t need the Japanese equipment, and you already have other supplies there, so the captain said we might as well just give the money and give it to the brothers in the 358th Brigade to buy tea.”
Seeing the sincerity of Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others, Chu Yunfei stopped being polite and said with a smile: "Then I understand."
Seeing Chu Yunfei accept Dayang, Xu Dalong said: "Sir Chu, the Japanese army has lost this batch of weapons and ammunition, and their plan to siege our base area will probably be delayed. This gives us a period of rest and recuperation, and we can just use this time."
We will strengthen combat readiness for a period of time.”
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "I understand. We are also digging a tunnel over there, and we can just use this time to improve it. Brother Dalong, Brother Yunlong, Zhao Zhengwei, brothers, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Chu Yunfei cupped his fists and saluted everyone, then got in the car and left.
There were so many materials seized this time that Zhao Gang and Wang Xiaohu organized logistics personnel to count them for several days before they got the results.
In the conference room of the guerrilla headquarters, Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Wang Limin and other anti-Japanese armed generals gathered together, waiting for Zhao Gang to announce the results of the war.
Zhao Gang stood up, cleared his throat, and read with great energy: "In this battle, a total of 24 carriages of weapons, ammunition and various supplies were seized from the Japanese army, as well as equipment from two Japanese cavalry regiments and escort troops.
, a total of 64 Type 92 infantry guns, 7800 rounds of artillery shells, 228 60mm mortars, 12180 rounds of artillery shells, 12 37mm rapid-fire cannons, 36 23mm rapid-fire cannons, 42 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and crooked light machine guns.
460, 13,400 Type 38 rifles, 1,142 various pistols, 2,980 carbines, 3,100 sabers, 3.2 million rounds of various bullets, 420 boxes of melon grenades, and other supplies..."
After hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, he laughed loudly, and said, "He brewed it! He really made a fortune."
Kong Jie said excitedly: "So many weapons and equipment are enough to equip more than a dozen regiments."
Everyone talked a lot and expressed their feelings, and the conference room was filled with joy.
Then everyone looked eagerly at Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang to see how the results of the battle would be distributed.
Zhao Gang said: "I have discussed with the brigade captain and am going to hand over to the head of the military region the equipment of three regiments, the equipment of two regiments of the new first brigade and the new second brigade, plus the equipment of a cavalry battalion. You see how the distribution is like this
OK?"
Although the Mawushan guerrillas accounted for the majority of the distribution this time, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie did not have any objections. They all knew that without Xu Dalong and the others, the New First Brigade and the New Second Brigade would not have been able to get so much.
Oily and watery.
During the battle, they had already received some weapons and ammunition, and now they were given equipment for two regiments of each brigade and an additional cavalry battalion. They were very satisfied.
Li Yunlong said: "No problem, we Lao Li are not greedy, these are enough."
Kong Jie heard Li Yunlong say that he was not greedy and said sarcastically: "Brother Dalong, even people like Lao Li who care about everything have no objections, let alone the New Second Brigade."
Li Yunlong opened his eyes and said: "Kong Er, are you itchy? Is Laozi bothering you? You are causing trouble for Laozi."
Kong Jie said nonchalantly: "You, Li Yunlong, always eat more and occupy more. This time you performed well. I praise you a few words. It is a compliment to you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Everyone laughed when they saw the two old comrades Li Yunlong and Kong Jie bickering.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After reading the telegram jointly signed by Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang, the commander said happily: "Xu Dalong and the others are really good. They made a big move. Not only did they kill two Japanese cavalry regiments, but they also seized an entire column of weapons.
With the addition of this batch of weapons and equipment, they will be more confident in holding the Mawushan base and repelling the Japanese raids."
The chief of staff said: "This is indeed a great thing, but they have seized so many weapons and equipment, are they turning over a little less? The troops in our military region are expanding too fast, and many troops lack equipment.
Should we ask Xu Dalong and the others to hand over more?"
The commander said: "Don't be too greedy. Xu Dalong and the others handed over the equipment of three regiments. This is a full set of Japanese-style equipment. This is a lot. And you haven't calculated clearly yet. Li Yunlong's new brigade and
Kong Jie's New Second Brigade also received a large amount of equipment, which were also taken out from this batch of captured weapons and equipment."
The chief of staff smiled and said: "That's right. In addition, the equipment that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie got is really a lot. Commander, I am not coveting the seizures of Xu Dalong and the others, it's just the weapons of our troops here.
The gap in ammunition is too big, so I always want to get a little more."
The commander smiled and said: "I can understand your mood, but our troops here can't expect Xu Dalong and others to hand over weapons and ammunition. You have to call on all troops to win more battles and seize the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese yourself."
The chief of staff asked: "What should we do with the weapons and ammunition that Xu Dalong and the others handed over? Should we send people to pick them up from here, or should they send them over?"
The commander said: "The Japanese army has just suffered such a heavy loss, and the combat plan to attack the Mawushan base area should be postponed. Since they have no combat missions there for the time being, let Kong Jie's New Second Brigade send this batch of equipment.
.”
The chief of staff said: "Okay, I will send a telegram to Xu Dalong and the others right now."
Guancheng County.
Monk Wei had served as Li Yunlong's bodyguard and had a very close relationship with Li Yunlong. Since Li Yunlong was injured, Monk Wei would come to visit Li Yunlong every three days as long as the special forces were not out on missions.
After dinner that day, Monk Wei came to visit Li Yunlong again. Seeing the large and small bags in Monk Wei's hand, Li Yunlong asked: "Monk, what did you bring?"
Li Yunlong opened a paper bag, threw a peanut into his mouth, and said while chewing: "I said, monk, how much is your boy's monthly allowance? You don't know how to save it. It costs a lot."
Money."
Monk Wei smiled and said: "Captain, what do you mean by saying this? Isn't it right to honor your elders? Besides, don't underestimate me. I am richer than you. Our place is different from the New One Brigade. We provide subsidies.
Quite a few, there are extra allowances for going out on missions, and bonuses for meritorious service. I have saved a lot of money now. If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't have had anywhere to spend the money."
Li Yunlong said with emotion: "Brother Dalong has achieved great success. He has such a large base, so many people, and has become so wealthy. No wonder Lao Zhao keeps praising him."
Monk Wei said: "The captain is indeed capable. Fighting with the captain is as enjoyable as fighting with you, the regiment leader."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "You are good at talking. To be honest, Brother Dalong is really capable. Even our old Li admires him."
Monk Wei asked curiously: "Captain, I heard from the captain and Commissioner Zheng that you are getting married. Is it true?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "This matter has not been settled yet. Hey, I'm talking about a monk, you said you are a monk, why do you care about this matter? Monks can't get married, right?"
Monk Wei smiled and said: "Captain, I am no longer a monk. Now I am a dignified anti-Japanese warrior. The captain has said that he will help me introduce a daughter-in-law when the time comes."
Li Yunlong was very interested in Monk Wei's special operations squadron. He found more and more that a capable special operations squadron could play a vital role at critical moments. He also wanted to have a special operations squadron in his brigade.
Team.
Li Yunlong said: "Monk, do you have a strong backbone under your command? Recommend one for me and ask him to help me bring out a special force team."
Monk Wei said: "It's okay for the captain to recommend people to you, but the people under me are really not good. Even I learned these things from the captain. I feel that there is still a big gap between me and the captain.
Not to mention the people under my command. I have heard from the captain that he has the idea of establishing a special warfare school, and he will personally serve as the principal of this school. Why don't you send a group of key personnel to the school?
After receiving training, you will definitely be able to cultivate a group of backbones of the special forces."
Li Yunlong was very happy and said: "It is a good thing to set up a special warfare school. I will meet Brother Dalong tomorrow and urge him to quickly establish such a school."
Li Yunlong was in high spirits today. He wanted to know more about special warfare, so he said to the monk: "I said to the monk, it's boring for us to talk like this. Go buy me two bottles of wine, and let's drink together."
chat."
Upon hearing this, Monk Wei immediately shook his head like a rattle and said: "Captain, this is not okay. It's not that I can't bear to buy you wine, it's that Commissioner Zhao Zheng has already given instructions, saying that you are recovering from your injuries. Who wants to
He will punish anyone who buys you a drink."
Li Yunlong said: "I said that you, a monk, can't be flexible in your mind. You bought it for me secretly. I won't sue you. What are you afraid of?"
Monk Wei said firmly: "That's not okay. Now I am a member of the guerrillas and directly under the supervision of Zhao Zheng. We must listen to him."
Li Yunlong smiled helplessly: "You, a monk, are just a white-eyed wolf. Now that you have left the independent group, you will not listen to Laozi."
Monk Wei smiled and said: "Captain, I have been a guard for you, and I will be your guard for the rest of my life. You are making a fool of yourself by saying this. Commissioner Zhao and Zheng are all for your own good, and I am also for your own good."
, but you can’t blame me.”
Li Yunlong smiled helplessly and said: "Okay, okay, you, Monk Wei, let's not drink today. Tell me carefully about the situation of your special team..."
Xu Dalong really wanted to set up a special warfare school, because Zhang Dabiao, Kong Jie and Wang Limin all proposed that Xu Dalong help them train special warfare teams. The commander had also mentioned before that he wanted Xu Dalong to help other troops train some special warfare units.
backbone.
Now that the Mawushan base area has a relatively stable teaching environment, Xu Dalong plans to set up a special warfare school in the county to train a group of backbones, and then use these backbones as teachers to train more backbones of the special operations team, and then
It is up to them to form special operations teams and improve the special operations level of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces in the entire Taiyue Military Region.
After Xu Dalong discussed with Zhao Gang, he reported this idea to the Taiyue Military Region. The commander was very happy. He believed that in the name of the Mawushan base area,
The standards for establishing this school were somewhat low, so it was decided to name the newly established special warfare school the Taiyue Military Region Special Warfare School. Xu Dalong served as the principal, and Zhao Gang also served as the Zheng committee member. The Taiyue Military Region transferred key personnel from units above the brigade to go to the special warfare school.
School study.
The special warfare school was quickly established. Xu Dalong, Lin Xueying, Zheng Xirong, Cui Zhenyue, Wei Monk and the squadron leaders of the special warfare squadron served as instructors in special warfare theory, shooting, bombing, radio, blasting, reconnaissance and other subjects.
A total of 160 students were enrolled in this batch.
The news reached the ears of the head of the headquarters. They all appreciated it and transferred 80 trainees from the headquarters' security force to study.
The Japanese army's column was robbed and two cavalry regiments were annihilated, which once again caused shock within the Japanese army.
As the 16th Brigade of the 8th Division was destroyed, the 201st Brigade of the Japanese 101st Division, which came out from Baoding, was worried about being annihilated and stopped when it arrived in Dingzhou.
The cavalry brigade sent by the Chahar Dispatch Army refused to move forward even when they reached Datong.
Yoshio Shinozuka could not organize a large-scale force for the time being, so he had to suspend the battle plan to attack the Mawu Mountain base area.
Since the danger in the Mawu Mountain area was temporarily relieved, Li Yunlong's New 1st Brigade and Kong Jie's 2nd New Brigade were ordered to move back to the Taihang Mountain base area.
