Chapter three hundred and eighteen stealing the beam and changing the column
Xu Dalong's conditions were not excessive, he just asked Qianye Xunyi to provide 10,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes.
Qianye Xunyi could not ignore the more than 400 people under his command, so he had to obediently agree to Xu Dalong's conditions, sent people to deliver cotton-padded clothes, and then asked his adjutant to return to Lingao City with the captured officers and soldiers.
After getting this batch of cotton-padded clothes, all the officers and soldiers of the Mawushan guerrillas also put on new cotton-padded clothes.
Zhao Gang came to Xu Dalong and said, "Captain, we still have 3,500 sets of new cotton-padded clothes and 7,000 sets of old cotton-padded clothes. What do you think we should do with these cotton-padded clothes?"
Xu Dalong knew Zhao Gang well and knew that he must have had an idea when he asked this question. He said, "What are your plans?"
Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li and his friends are short of supplies and it is difficult to get new cotton-padded clothes. I want to send him these new cotton-padded clothes and hand over the rest to the Taiyue Military Region."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "We want to go together. I don't think it's better than this. We can't just think about Commander Li and Commander Kong. The situation there is the same as our commander. My opinion is to spend 2,000
A set of new cotton-padded clothes and some old cotton-padded clothes were given to our regiment leader. 1,500 sets of new cotton-padded clothes and some old cotton-padded clothes were given to Commander Kong, and the remaining ones were handed over to the commander. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the commander.
Say hello in advance."
Zhao Gang said: "Your idea is more thoughtful and I agree. But you still report to the commander. I don't have as much face as you."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay, I will report to the commander."
Xu Dalong had previously supported Li Yunlong and Kong Jie with a lot of weapons, ammunition and oceans, and did not need to report to his superiors. However, this time the cotton clothes are different. This is because the cotton clothes are now a very sensitive matter in the Taihang Mountain base area. Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang did this
It is necessary to obtain the consent of Taiyue Military Region.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
After receiving the telegram from Xu Dalong, the chief of staff said with some worry: "Commander, is it inappropriate for Xu Dalong to do this? I'm afraid it won't have a good impact if it spreads."
The commander said: "There is nothing inappropriate. Li Yunlong's New 1st Brigade and Kong Jie's New 2nd Brigade are also troops of our military region. It is normal to issue them to them. Besides, apart from the working relationship, the anti-Japanese armed forces of our underground party have
Besides, I don’t object to fighting friendship between comrades. Xu Dalong’s doing this makes it even more affectionate and righteous.
We agreed to Xu Dalong's request, but we were tacit about this matter. We didn't want to handle the cotton-padded clothes that Xu Dalong gave directly to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, and told the logistics department that Xu Dalong and the others only handed over the remaining ones.
Cotton coat.”
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Commander, I can see that you really like Xu Dalong and are a bit biased."
The commander smiled and said: "Don't you like Xu Dalong?"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Of course I like it. I wish all the generals under our command were like Xu Dalong. In that case, I would always smile when I dream. Hahahahaha!"
Li Yunlong received the cotton-padded clothes from Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang, and said happily: "Brother Dalong and Lao Zhao are really our brothers. No matter what good thing happens, they will never forget us. Lao Zi really didn't get to know them in vain."
Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Captain, you were wise. You supported Xu Dalong in going to Mawu Mountain to develop on his own. That's why our independent group has the good life it has today."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Zhang Dabiao, I usually don't like to listen to what you say, but today these few words of Ma Pi made me feel really comfortable. You are right, Lao Zi has a good eye for people and promoted Xu Dalong single-handedly.
Let’s see, how much contribution did Xu Dalong make to our underground party’s anti-Japanese armed forces? At least half of the credit is due to Laozi. Hahahahaha!”
The New Second Brigade received cotton-padded clothes from the Mawushan guerrillas. Wang Zhengwei said excitedly: "Lao Kong, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang are really good friends. We are short of cotton-padded clothes. This is really a timely help."
Kong Jie said happily: "Yes, when I was in the independent group, I had a very good relationship with Brother Dalong and Zhao Zhengwei. It was a fateful friendship. Of course he would think of us if anything good happened."
Speaking of this, Kong Jie said with some yearning: "It would be a pleasure to fight with the Dalong brothers. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to go to Mawu Mountain again."
Wang Zhengwei said: "I also look forward to going to Mawu Mountain and fighting with Xu Dalong and the others. As long as we cooperate with them, our New Second Brigade will make huge gains and increase its strength a lot. Brother Xu is really a
He is a good general, and no one who cooperates with him will suffer."
Taiyuan City Japanese First Army Headquarters.
Kazuo Shimizu lurked in Ping'an County to trace the whereabouts of the batch of arms. This matter was originally approved by Yoshio Shinozuka. Kazuo Shimizu found clues in this matter. Yoshio Shinozuka was very happy and immediately found Chiba.
As soon as he sent a telegram, he asked him to send troops to follow Kazuo Shimizu's command and transport this batch of arms back.
Unexpectedly, Shimizu Kazuo's whereabouts are now unknown. He has not come back to report, which means that he is either dead or has been controlled by the guerrillas.
Hearing that the infantry brigade sent by Chiba Xunyi was annihilated by Xu Dalong, Yoshio Shinozuka was dumbfounded. He discovered that Xu Dalong was the nemesis of the Japanese First Army and had suffered too many losses at his hands.
.
Yoshio Shinozuka knew how much harm this batch of arms would cause to the Japanese army once it fell into the hands of the anti-Japanese armed forces. He must not just watch this batch of arms fall into the hands of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces.
He sent a telegram to Qianye Xunyi. This time he gave him the facts and told him about this batch of weapons and ammunition. He asked Qianye Xunyi to send someone to Pingan County to learn about the details of the use of this batch of ammunition.
See if it has fallen into the hands of the guerrillas.
After Chiba Xunyi received the telegram, he realized how his infantry brigade was wiped out by the enemy. He was thinking about the fact that he was forced to provide a large number of cotton-padded clothes to the guerrillas in order to redeem the captured officers and soldiers.
When he didn't know how to explain it to Shinozuka Yoshio, the telegram sent by Shinozuka Yoshio was equivalent to solving the problem for him.
He knew that as long as he helped Yoshio Shinozuka find out about the whereabouts of the batch of arms, Yoshio Shinozuka would not pursue the issue of the cotton clothes.
Qianye Xunyi immediately called Yan Guiwu and asked him to send someone to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the batch of arms.
Yan Guiwu's outstanding intelligence work left a deep impression on Qianye Xunyi, and he believed that Yan Guiwu would not let him down this time.
Yan Guiwu now discovered that Xu Dalong was his lucky star. He admired Xu Dalong's talents very much. In his eyes, the Japanese army was so arrogant and powerful, but to Xu Dalong, he was almost like dregs. He couldn't believe it even if he didn't believe it.
Not only that, he also felt that Xu Dalong was a very good friend. No matter what he did, he would never take advantage of Huang Xiejun's Fourth Division in vain. He always had his best interests in mind. Thanks to the help Xu Dalong provided, not only was he not suspected by the Japanese army, but
He was greatly favored by Chiba Xunyi, and he benefited greatly from the Japanese army.
Now not only does he not have to worry about suffering heavy losses from fighting the guerrillas, he can also benefit from the Japanese army. Thinking about such days makes him laugh out loud.
Qianye Xunyi asked Yan Guiwu to spy on the information again, which was a piece of cake for Yan Guiwu. He immediately asked Wang Shuhuai to send a telegram to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong did not disappoint Yan Guiwu. He asked Wang Shuhuai to tell Yan Guiwu that the legendary batch of arms was at Cuiyun Peak, and the Mawu Mountain guerrillas had not yet found the batch of arms. He asked Yan Guiwu to tell Qianye Xunyi the news.
Yan Guiwu obtained this important information, so he drove to the headquarters of the 32nd garrison division and asked to see Chiba Xunyi.
Qianye Xun was very happy when he saw Yan Guiwu, knowing that this guy should have come to deliver good news to him again.
He asked: "Yan Sang, have you found out the news?"
Yan Guiwu said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, I received your order and immediately sent people to Ping'an County to investigate and got some information.
The people under the humble position saw many Mawushan guerrillas operating around Cuiyun Peak. They were said to be looking for a batch of important supplies. They also heard that there were several Taijuns in plain clothes, who seemed to be
Who opened a clinic in Ping'an County? They have been arrested by Xu Dalong's people."
Chiba Xunyi asked: "Are you sure that the batch of arms was not discovered by the guerrillas?"
Yan Guiwu said: "There should be no, otherwise, such a big movement must be big news in that area. It is impossible for my people not to hear it."
Qianye Xun nodded and said: "Xinxi, Yan Sang, you have done a great job in intelligence work. You must continue to work hard in the future."
Yan Guiwu hurriedly said: "Hai, thank you for the compliment, Your Excellency, the Division Commander. I will be loyal to Huang Jun and your Excellency, the Division Commander, as always."
After Yan Guiwu left, Chiba Xunyi hurriedly sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio and reported to him the information he had inquired about.
Taiyuan City First Army Headquarters.
Shinozuka Yoshio quickly sent him a telegram back, telling him to continue sending people to monitor Cuiyun Peak and report any changes to him immediately.
The Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army also knew about this batch of arms. He said with some worry: "Your Excellency, Commander, although Xu Dalong and the others have not found the batch of arms yet, I am afraid that Kazuo Shimizu has fallen into their hands. Although I
We believe in Kazuo Shimizu's loyalty to the Yellow Army of Japan, but we must also take precautions in case Kazuo Shimizu reveals the secrets about that batch of arms.
Once a large amount of arms falls into the hands of Xu Dalong, the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces will definitely become even more powerful, and our First Army's life will be even more difficult in the future. We must grab that batch of arms before Xu Dalong and the others."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded and said: "This is what I am worried about. But now that Ping'an County has fallen into the hands of Xu Dalong, Cuiyun Peak is within Ping'an County, and now it is Xu Dalong's territory. How can we do that?
Where were the weapons and ammunition found?"
The chief of staff said: "There is no other good way. We can only send troops to capture Pingan County and control Cuiyun Peak."
Yoshio Shinozuka said: "I have the same idea as you. But now we don't have enough troops, how can we do this?"
The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have an idea, do you think it will work?"
After the chief of staff told him his plan, Yoshio Shinozuka nodded repeatedly and said: "You are indeed resourceful. This is really a good idea. I agree. Just implement it according to this plan."
Lingao City.
Chiba Xunyi received a top-secret telegram from Shinozuka Yoshio. After reading the telegram, he sent someone to call Yan Guiwu and asked him to send a regiment of troops to cooperate with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army to the direction of Yucheng.
, to pick up a batch of supplies.
Yan Guiwu returned to the headquarters of Huang Xiejun's 4th Division and asked Wang Shuhuai to pass this information to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong quickly sent a telegram back to Wang Shuhuai, asking him to tell Yan Guiwu that even if he sent troops to Yucheng, he would not send troops to intercept them halfway. At the same time, he told Yan Guiwu to report any changes in the situation to the guerrillas in a timely manner.
Yan Guiwu was originally worried that his troops were acting together with the Japanese army and would be attacked by guerrillas on the way. This might make the Japanese army suspect that it was Huang Xiejun who had passed up relevant information.
Seeing how considerate Xu Dalong was, he was very grateful. According to Qianye Xunyi's request, he sent a regiment of troops and followed the Japanese army out of Lingao City.
Ping'an County.
After receiving Yan Guiwu's telegram, Xu Dalong felt a little confused. The Japanese army's actions were a bit abnormal and different from what he expected.
When he captured Kazuo Shimizu in Cuiyun Peak, Xu Dalong had the idea to use this batch of weapons and ammunition to set up a trap with Kazuo Shimizu to lure the Japanese army to Cuiyun Peak and Ping'an County. He used the method of setting up an ambush along the way.
Eat a bunch of Japanese troops.
That's why he deliberately asked Yan Guiwu to tell Qianye Xunyi that the weapons and ammunition were at Cuiyun Peak and that Kazuo Shimizu had been captured. If the Japanese army wanted to rescue Kazuo Shimizu and get this batch of arms, they should send troops to attack.
Ping'an County and Cuiyun Peak.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese army came out and ended up in Yucheng.
Xu Dalong was a little confused for a moment as to what the Japanese army wanted to do.
While he asked Yan Guiwu to continue to provide intelligence, he asked Zheng Xirong to send people to monitor this group of Japanese soldiers to see what tricks they would play.
He believed that the Japanese troops and Huang Xiejun's troops might have played a trick. They pretended to go to the direction of Yucheng, and would suddenly turn back halfway at night to attack Ping'an County.
Therefore, Xu Dalong ordered his troops to prepare for battle and be ready to go at any time.
Zheng Xirong sent a reconnaissance team, riding fast horses to the direction of Yucheng, to monitor the movements of the Japanese army along the way.
The outcome of the matter was once again beyond Xu Dalong's expectation. The Japanese army and Huang Xiejun's troops actually went to Yucheng and entered the city.
After receiving the report from the intelligence team, Xu Dalong was also a little confused. Could it be that the Japanese army was really just transporting supplies from Yucheng? He didn't quite understand why the Japanese army didn't care about Kazuo Shimizu and the weapons and ammunition buried in Cuiyun Peak.
, this is obviously somewhat unreasonable.
Xu Dalong couldn't figure it out for a while, so he discussed the matter with Zhao Gang, Sun Desheng, Wei Monk and Lin Xueying.
Everyone also felt that it was unreasonable. For the Japanese army, they would definitely not let this large amount of arms fall into the hands of the Mawushan guerrillas. Moreover, Kazuo Shimizu was not low-ranking and had the secrets of the Japanese spy agency.
It makes no sense not to send someone to rescue him.
Everyone discussed and discussed, but still couldn't figure out what the Japanese army wanted to do.
Xu Dalong still asked the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time asked Zheng Xirong to notify the reconnaissance team to closely monitor the actions of the Japanese troops in the direction of Yucheng.
Yucheng.
After Yan Guiwu's Huang Xiejun entered Yucheng, he followed the Japanese army to the logistics warehouse of the 108th Division and received a batch of cotton-padded clothes and other supplies.
After loading the truck, they were about to leave Yucheng and return to Lingao City with the troops guarding the 32nd Division. Unexpectedly, they were stopped by the Japanese army and asked to take off their military uniforms.
The leader of Huang Xiejun was startled, thinking that the Japanese army was going to attack them. But the city was full of Japanese troops, and he did not dare to resist. He had to obediently order the troops to put down their weapons and take off their military uniforms in accordance with the Japanese army's request.
.
The Japanese army sent people to take away their uniforms, but did not seize their weapons. They just let them enter a barracks. No one was allowed to leave the barracks without the permission of the Japanese army.
The leader of Huang Xiejun felt baffled. He wanted to report the situation here to Yan Guiwu, but they had no radio and they were locked up in the barracks, so they could only let it go.
Not only Huang Xiejun under Yan Guiwu, but also the infantry brigade guarding the 32nd Division, except for the brigade captain and a few others, were also required to enter a barracks. No one was allowed to go out without permission.
The Japanese captain didn't understand what was going on, so he asked the combat staff of the 108th Division who conveyed the order to him. He didn't get an answer. When he was taken to the headquarters of the division, the chief of staff of the 108th Division personally
After receiving him, he finally understood what the Japanese 108th Division was trying to do.
It turned out that this was the idea given to Yoshio Shinozuka by the Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army. They wanted to attack Ping An County, rescue Kazuo Shimizu, and seize the batch of arms. However, with the combat effectiveness of the 32nd Division, it was impossible to complete this.
Task.
So they planned to mobilize elite troops from the 108th Division to implement the raid plan.
After previous experience in dealing with the Mawushan guerrillas, the chief of staff knew that the intelligence work of the Mawushan guerrillas was very powerful. If the Japanese troops were sent directly from Yucheng, it would be difficult to guarantee that the information would not be leaked, so he came up with a plan to steal information.
.
They first transferred a group of Japanese troops and Huang Xiejun from the 32nd garrison division, and then asked the elite troops of the 108th division to put on the uniforms of the Huang Xiejun troops, pretending to be troops from the 32nd garrison division and go to Lingao City, and then used these elite troops to
