The Guo Army and the Jinsui Army have stable financial sources and their funds are guaranteed. These expenses are nothing to them.
In order to allow the guerrillas to sincerely help them fight, they also paid an extra fee to express their gratitude.
Zhao Gang was originally worried that the Jinsui Army would have objections, but he did not expect this to be the result.
After the liaison team leader of the Jinsui Army left, he said happily: "Captain, I didn't expect your heart to be so dark. It seems that you really have the potential to be a strong businessman. I have to be careful in the future, don't let you
I sold it, and I helped you count the money."
After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.
With the support of the Mawushan Guerrilla Air Force, the 68th Army of the Shanxi-Sui Army fought a great victory and was commended by the World War II District Chief.
After this news spread, other departments of the Jinsui Army also followed the example of the 68th Army in providing funds to the Mawushan guerrillas and requesting the guerrillas to dispatch their air force to help them fight.
General Fu of the Zhongtiao Mountain General Headquarters and others also asked Xu Dalong many times to help them fight.
Although Xu Dalong did not make any demands, General Fu did not treat Xu Dalong badly. He not only paid the guerrillas the corresponding expenses according to the funding standards provided by the Jinsui Army, but also provided them with a large amount of additional military supplies.
For a time, the wealth was rolling in, and Da Yang continued to enter the pockets of the Mawushan guerrillas, and the big housekeeper Zhao Gang was beaming.
Air Force pilots continue to go out to fight, and each time they receive generous bonuses. They also enjoy it and everyone is happy.
That day, the commander sent a telegram requesting the Mawushan guerrillas to dispatch the air force to provide air support for the Taiyue Military Region. He heard about the Zhongyang Army and the Jinsui Army funding the war, so he specifically added this sentence to the telegram:
"Xu Dalong, I am very poor and have no money to give you."
Xu Dalong was shocked after reading the telegram and hurriedly called back to the commander. The telegram said: "The Mawushan guerrillas belong to the Taiyue Military Region and are led by you. I dare not ask you for money even if I am killed."
You can rest assured that the Mawushan guerrillas will resolutely implement your orders and send all their fighter planes to support the troops in the military region.
We have prepared 50,000 yuan here and will send it to you right away."
After reading the telegram sent by Xu Dalong, the commander said happily: "This is not bad, I think you are sensible."
The reason why the commander said this was really not to bully Xu Dalong. He knew that the Mawushan guerrillas used the air force to make money. Although this matter was reasonable, it was unreasonable. It was suspected of violating the armed discipline of the underground party. The superior
Relevant departments even have the idea of tracking down the Mawushan guerrillas.
If the commander hadn't been backing Xu Dalong and the others, they would have been in big trouble.
The commander liked Xu Dalong very much and really cared about him. The commander did not keep the 50,000 ocean commanders handed over by the Mawushan guerrillas. Instead, he gave them directly to the headquarters in the name of the Mawushan guerrillas and took the opportunity to speak for Xu Dalong and others.
After some kind words, he canceled the idea of his superiors pursuing Xu Dalong and others for violating disciplines.
That day, the commander sent a telegram saying that the headquarters had issued a notice asking Xu Dalong to report to the Chongqing Underground Party Anti-Japanese Armed Forces Office.
Xu Dalong, Lin Xueying, Wei Monk and others left the Mawu Mountain base and headed for Chongqing. Zhongtiao Mountain was the only way for them to pass, so Xu Dalong first went to visit General Fu.
General Fu was very happy to see Xu Dalong and entertained him and his entourage warmly. When he learned that Xu Dalong was going to Chongqing and that he was going to Zhongyang Military Academy to explain guerrilla tactics, he wrote two personal letters asking him to go to Chongqing.
When in Chengdu, I went to visit two of my old friends. They are both close friends with General Fu. If there are any problems, they will definitely be able to help Xu Dalong.
On the way from Zhongtiao Mountain to Chongqing, we had to pass through enemy-occupied areas. General Fu saw that Xu Dalong and others only brought one squad of special forces members, so he sent the guard battalion of the Zhongtiao Mountain headquarters to escort Xu Dalong and others.
Xu Dalong and others continued on their way and arrived at the border of Rongyang, which was more than 40 kilometers away from Zhongtiao Mountain. Xu Dalong and others were worried that the officers and soldiers of the guard camp would encounter enemy troops, so they bid farewell to them and continued on their way.
Xu Dalong and others disguised themselves as Japanese troops. After a long march, they arrived at Fangcheng County. From here, they entered Guotong District 15 kilometers further.
Xu Dalong and others continued to walk forward, and they were almost at the junction of the two armies. They saw a river ahead, a stone bridge on the river, and a Japanese checkpoint there.
The river bed here is relatively steep. If people can cross the river without crossing the bridge, it will be difficult for them to ride horses. Xu Dalong and others are not familiar with the terrain here, and they don't know how long it will take to find a place where they can wade on foot.
So they walked straight towards the Japanese checkpoint.
The certificates Wang Jinke forged for everyone came from the Central China Front Army Headquarters Special High School Section. After they came to the checkpoint and showed their certificates, they said they were going to Guotong District to perform a secret mission.
The Japanese army looked at their documents and saw nothing wrong with them, and they didn't want to offend the people from the extra-high school courses, so they let them pass.
Xu Dalong and others continued to walk forward, and after walking less than a kilometer, a burst of gunfire suddenly came from the front.
Xu Dalong and others quickly found a hidden place and looked forward, and saw a man in plainclothes running towards this direction. Behind him, a dozen soldiers from the Guo Army were chasing him.
Xu Dalong was thinking about helping the soldiers of the Guo army to intercept this man, but when he turned around, he saw a group of Japanese soldiers on the bridge rushing towards us. Apparently they had also heard the gunshots and came to check the situation.
Xu Dalong saw dozens of Japanese soldiers behind him. Those Guo soldiers would definitely suffer if they fought with the Japanese. He wanted to help those Guo soldiers, but he was wearing a Japanese military uniform, which could easily cause misunderstandings.
After thinking for a while, he said to Monk Wei and others: "Fire your guns into the sky and hit those Guojun soldiers."
Monk Wei and others opened fire at the Guo soldiers, but the muzzle of the gun was raised an inch, and the bullets grazed the heads of the National soldiers and flew past.
Although the sudden shooting did not hit the Guojun soldiers, they were startled. They saw Xu Dalong and others wearing Japanese military uniforms, and they were obviously hesitant. They did not want to let go of the target they wanted to capture.
Worried about being attacked by the Japanese army, when he was hesitating, Xu Dalong fired a shot and hit the rifle in the hand of the Guo army soldier who was leading the group.
The huge force caused the soldier to loosen his hand and the rifle flew to the side.
The soldiers of the Guo Army were frightened and saw that in addition to Xu Dalong and his group of Japanese, there was also a large group of Japanese chasing after them. They did not dare to fight, so they fled in panic with their men.
Xu Dalong and others stepped forward to help the man who was chased by the Guo army soldiers and asked him about his identity.
The man saw Xu Dalong and others wearing Japanese military uniforms and speaking fluent Japanese. It was these people who saved him.
He did not doubt the identity of Xu Dalong and others, and reported his own identity, saying that he was a member of the Special High School Section of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Fangcheng, and was sent by his superiors to perform a mission in Guotong District.
At this time, the Japanese soldiers behind him chased me and asked what happened here.
Xu Dalong then introduced the identity of the person they rescued, saying that this was an internal matter of the Super High School and they would handle it themselves.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were not willing to get involved in the internal affairs of the Special High School, so they said goodbye and left.
After the Japanese soldiers left, the special agent from the Special High School also offered to say goodbye to Xu Dalong and others.
Xu Dalong wanted to know what important information this guy had obtained from Guotong District, so he asked him what mission he was performing.
The Japanese agents felt that something was wrong, because there were strict confidentiality disciplines within the Special High School. These people who claimed to be from the Special High School in front of them should not understand the rules.
He began to doubt the identities of the people in front of him, and thought that the ordinary Japanese soldiers just now were more reliable, so he wanted to get rid of Xu Dalong and others and find those Japanese soldiers to protect him.
Just as he was about to shout loudly, Xu Dalong, who had been staring at him, saw his intention and punched him directly, knocking him unconscious.
Xu Dalong asked two special forces members to set him up, and they all walked towards the direction of Guotong District.
After walking a short distance, Xu Dalong was worried that the officers and soldiers might misunderstand, so he did not continue forward, but led the Japanese agents into a bush.
Monk Wei stretched out his thumb to pinch the Japanese agent, and the guy woke up.
Xu Dalong continued to interrogate him about what mission he was performing.
Now that the Japanese agent could conclude that these people were not real Japanese soldiers, he acted like a pig that was not afraid of boiling water and refused to speak.
Monk Wei was very angry and ordered two guerrillas to beat the guy severely.
Seeing that there was no effect, he took action himself and used his own methods. The Japanese agent screamed in pain, but still refused to confess.
At this time, Monk Wei and others had searched the whole body of this Japanese agent and found nothing suspicious. For a while, everyone really had nothing to do with this Japanese agent.
Xu Dalong turned his attention to Lin Xueying and asked: "Xueying, your military commander has many interrogation methods. What secrets do you think this guy is hiding?"
While everyone was interrogating the Japanese agents, Lin Xueying had been observing this guy. When she saw that Monk Wei and others were searching him, but nothing valuable was found, she was wondering, if this guy wanted to hide something, what would he do?
where.
Seeing Xu Dalong asking her, she said: "Since this person went to Guotong District to perform a mission, he should have retrieved some important information, and the thing should be hidden on his body. It's just that we haven't found it yet."
Monk Wei has learned a lot from Xu Dalong, and he has humbly asked Lin Xueying for advice before. When he searched for the Japanese agents, he was very careful. Even the leather shoes worn by the Japanese were cut open with a dagger, and he did not find anything interesting.
Something of value.
Monk Wei said a little unconvinced: "I've searched everything, and there must be nothing there."
Lin Xueying asked: "Are you sure you have searched everything?"
Monk Wei said with certainty: "I'm sure. Everyone has seen it. I've searched everything, and it's definitely not there."
Lin Xueying laughed and said to Xu Dalong: "Captain, what do you think?"
Xu Dalong also figured it out now, and he smiled and said: "You are right, the things must be hidden somewhere that has not been found."
Monk Wei looked at the two men singing and singing, and Monk Zhang Er was confused. He was very convinced of Xu Dalong. Although he couldn't understand it himself, he knew that since Xu Dalong said so, it must be right.
He looked at the Japanese agent carefully and asked, "Master Long, where are the things hidden?"
Xu Dalong did not answer his words, but asked: "Do you see anything unusual about this guy in front of you?"
Monk Wei carefully looked at the Japanese agent, looking for anything suspicious. Soon his eyes fell on the left shoulder of the Japanese agent, and found that there was a slightly raised wound there that had just been treated.
Monk Wei suddenly understood. He pulled out his dagger and cut open the area. Sure enough, there was a microfilm hidden inside.
He said excitedly: "Master Long, the little devil is really cunning, no one is lucky enough to think of such a trick."
The Japanese agent was very desperate and cursed.
Xu Dalong made a gesture, and Monk Wei killed him with the dagger in his hand.
Xu Dalong and others continued on their way. They chose a hidden place, quietly crossed the dividing line between the enemy and ourselves, and entered the Guotong District.
They changed out of the Japanese military uniforms and put on the uniforms of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Soon they saw a defensive position.
The defenders of the position were not the Zhongyang Army wearing advance caps, but the Sichuan Army wearing large caps.
Xu Dalong and others came forward to show their certificates issued by the World War II District Chief. The Sichuan Army here had obviously received a notification from their superiors. Knowing that Xu Dalong and others were about to transit here, the battalion commander of the garrison reported to his superiors, and then soon
He greeted them politely and said that a vehicle would be coming to pick them up soon.
After waiting for about 40 minutes, a car and a truck drove over, and a lieutenant colonel from the Sichuan Army got out of the car.
He asked: "Who is Chief Xu of the guerrillas?"
Xu Dalong took a step forward and said, "That's me. Who are you?"
The lieutenant colonel officer looked Xu Dalong up and down, stood at attention and saluted Xu Dalong, and Xu Dalong also returned the salute.
The lieutenant colonel officer said enthusiastically: "Sir Xu, I have heard the name for a long time, and my humble position is Yang Xinwu, the adjutant of General Zhang in a certain unit of the Sichuan Army. On the order of the general, I came here specially to greet Chief Xu."
Xu Dalong said: "The Sichuan Army brothers are amazing! It has been seven years since the War of Resistance. Sichuan is the province that has sent the most troops to the War of Resistance in the country, and has made indelible contributions to the War of Resistance."
Hearing what Xu Dalong said, the Sichuan officers and soldiers around them were very proud. They puffed up their chests and showed proud expressions on their faces.
Yang Xinwu was very happy. He said happily: "Sir Xu, I have heard your name for a long time. You wiped out thousands of little Japs in Shanxi Province. It is really amazing. We, General Zhang, have also admired your name for a long time, so we specially invited
You are a guest."
Xu Dalong readily agreed and said that he wanted to pay a visit to the old general.
Yang Xinwu was very attentive and personally opened the door for him at the side of the car and respectfully invited him to get in. Soon after, everyone got in the car and drove towards Yichang City.
A certain headquarters of the Sichuan Army in Yichang.
The car entered the headquarters compound, came to a stop in front of the office building.
Yang Xinwu took everyone up to the second floor. He asked everyone to wait in the reception room first, and then he went to report to the general.
A moment later, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. Before anyone showed up, a burst of laughter was heard outside: "Hahahaha! I want to see what kind of young hero this Brother Xu is?"
Following the voice, an old general of medium build and majestic appearance walked in.
Xu Dalong and others hurriedly stood up, raised their hands to salute the old general, and said, "Hello, General Zhang."
The person coming was none other than General Zhang, a famous anti-Japanese general of the Sichuan Army. He was very experienced. From the positions where Xu Dalong and others were standing, we could tell that the person standing in front must be Xu Dalong.
He stepped forward, reached out his hand, and said happily: "Brother Xu, I have heard about your name for a long time, but I never thought that you have created so many brilliant achievements at such a young age, and made the little devils frightened. It's really amazing."
A young hero!"
Xu Dalong hurriedly stretched out his hands, held the old general's hand, and said respectfully: "The old general is really a hero of the Anti-Japanese War. You led the Sichuan soldiers to fight against the Japanese in Sichuan, and fought in various battlefields in Songhu, Xuzhou, and Wuhan, and led the Sichuan Army brothers to bathe in blood.
Fighting hard, with inferior equipment and a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors in the absence of supplementary equipment, it is not only the pride of the people in Sichuan, but also a model for the anti-Japanese military and civilians.
General Zhang, the speech you delivered when you came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan was deafening and exciting. Every word was engraved in the hearts of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians, and inspired the younger generation to learn from the Sichuan army and fight bravely against the enemy."
Hearing Xu Dalong's affirmation and praise of the Sichuan Army, General Zhang became even more happy.
He said: "It's not that exaggerated. What I said was just emotion from the bottom of my heart. How can it have such great appeal?"
Xu Dalong loudly recited the oath taken by General Zhang when he went out to fight against Japan.
General Zhang saw that Xu Dalong really remembered what he once said so clearly, and saw that his expression was completely from the heart, and he felt that Xu Dalong was very close to him.
He said: "Brother Xu, you are the only young hero I have seen in my life. You are no longer called an old general or a junior. If you don't mind, we will call you brothers."
Xu Dalong was not polite and said happily: "Hello, Brother Zhang."
General Zhang was very happy, laughed loudly, and said, "Okay, Brother Dalong is so affectionate to call you."
General Zhang attached great importance to Xu Dalong and held a grand reception banquet for Xu Dalong and others.
Not only that, but the main generals stationed in Yichang were also summoned to listen to Xu Dalong's report on the battle with the Japanese army in the Mawushan base area.
