Zhang Dabiao said with some yearning: "You must keep your word. If you don't have a sister-in-law, you won't care about me as a brother."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, don't worry. Our Commissioner Zhao Zheng has been thinking about your affairs for a long time. After the wedding of the regiment leader, we will take care of your affairs. At that time, I will personally fly over to pick you up for a blind date. .”
Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Don't mention it, it's convenient to have an airplane."
While everyone was joking, the commander and chief of staff came over. Li Yunlong, Xu Dalong and others hurried forward to greet them.
After meeting the commander and chief of staff, Xu Dalong said in surprise: "Commander, chief of staff, why are you really here?"
It turns out that what Xu Dalong and Li Changshui discussed was to use the commander and chief of staff as bait to lure Yamamoto Kazuki to come to the Mawu Mountain base. They were not really going to let the commander and chief of staff come over, but to let them find someone who looked similar to them. Someone came as a stand-in. Who would have thought that the commander and chief of staff actually came.
The commander smiled and said: "Li Yunlong is getting married. The chief of staff and I must attend. Besides, with you and Xu Dalong there, are we still worried about our safety?"
The commander's words made Li Yunlong feel very proud.
He said: "Brigade commander, you have come to attend my wedding in person. I really have nothing to say. I will definitely toast you and the chief of staff with a few glasses of wine."
Xu Dalong was also very moved. This was the commander's trust in him. This trust was so heavy that it made Xu Dalong's blood boil.
He said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, thank you for your trust. This time, Yamamoto Kazuki will never come back."
The chief of staff looked at the transport plane at the airport and the six escort fighter jets, and said with a smile: "Xu Dalong, this scene is really quite big."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "The chiefs came here in great numbers, so naturally we gave away all our wealth."
Although the commander had seen big scenes, it felt good to see Xu Dalong sending all the fighter jets to escort him. He said: "Xu Dalong, your guerrilla air force can play a big role. You must protect them." , we will expand it if we have the chance.”
Xu Dalong said: "Don't worry, Commander, I have sent people to keep an eye on the Japanese airport. I will take care of them when I get the chance."
The commander, chief of staff, Li Yunlong and others boarded the transport plane. Two fighter jets took off first and hovered in the sky. After the transport plane took off, four fighter jets took off next, and six fighter jets escorted the transport plane and flew towards Mawu Mountain. .
Lingao City.
The super high school section chiefs, Taro Ningoka and Yu Shimada, have not received any reply from Yan Guiwu since they assigned tasks to Yan Guiwu.
They called Yan Guiwu and got the reply that Yan Guiwu was not there at all. They asked the person who answered the phone to tell Yan Guiwu to report to them, but no one paid any attention to them.
Ningoka Taro and Shimada Tsumugi were very angry and came to complain to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff was about to send someone to find them. After listening to the two men's accusations, the chief of staff said that Yan Guiwu had already found important information about Xu Dalong and had reported it directly to the commander. He was about to find them and ask them to Get in touch with Yan Guiwu and verify the accuracy of the information provided by Yan Guiwu.
At this time, Chiba Xunyi heard that Ningoka Taro and Shimada Tsumugi were coming, so he sent his adjutant to the chief of staff's office and asked them to come together.
The chief of staff brought Taro Ningokang and Yu Shimada to Chiba Xunyi's office. Taro Ningokang and Dao Yuyi filed a complaint against Yan Guiwu in front of Xunyi Chiba, saying that he did not respect the Japanese Huang Army.
His conscience has been greatly damaged, and I hope the division commander can severely punish him.
Chiba Xunyi was now very satisfied with Yan Guiwu. After listening to the complaint from the Super High School Section Chief, he said dissatisfiedly: "Your Special High School Section is responsible for intelligence work, and has never received accurate information once. As a result, the division has encountered a lot of troubles."
Frustration. On the contrary, it was Yan Guiwu who provided accurate intelligence every time, and could even be said to have saved the division at critical moments. Your intelligence work cannot keep up with Yan Guiwu. In the future, you should ask Yan Guiwu more for advice and respect him more. Understand.
Yet?"
Taro Ningoka was so punished that he blushed and did not dare to say anything more. He could only promise Ha Yin repeatedly and said that he understood.
Chiba Xunyi did not reprimand Shimada Yu by name. After all, he was not a person guarding the 32nd Division, and he wanted to save face for him.
However, Chiba Xunyi reprimanded the head of the special high school section in front of him, which was obviously a slap in his face. Only then did he realize that he was unfamiliar with the place here and really had to rely on a local snake like Yan Guiwu.
Of course, he also wanted to save face, so he said: "Whether the information provided by Yan Guiwu is accurate still needs to be verified. I have already discussed with the Section Chief to verify the information he provided."
The channels for the Japanese military's special high school to verify intelligence mainly rely on the gendarmerie in each county. Nowadays, the internal management of the Mawushan base is very complete, and outsiders cannot get in at all. Even the locals have the masses to supervise each other, and those from other counties
The gendarmerie basically played no role.
Chiba Xunichi knew this, so he didn't expect the Special High School Course to provide any valuable information.
He said a little impatiently: "You just do your job well and do whatever you have to do. Remember what I said, and you must cooperate well with Yan Guiwu in obtaining intelligence."
Taro Ningoka and Tsumugi Shimada received a scolding and returned to the special high school class in a depressed manner.
One good thing about the little devils is that they work very seriously. They actually called the gendarmerie in each county and asked them to verify the intelligence provided by Yan Guiwu.
It is difficult for outsiders to enter the Mawushan base area, but people inside the base area can still freely enter and leave the base area to do business and visit relatives and friends.
The gendarmerie around the base area used these people to inquire about the news inside the base area. Indeed, they heard that in Guancheng County, some leading figures from the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces were planning to hold a group wedding. They also heard that some important figures from the underground party's superiors were planning to hold a group wedding.
Come to their wedding.
The news confirmed that the information provided by Yan Guiwu was accurate.
Although Taro Ningoka and Tsumugi Shimada felt very embarrassed, in order to show that they had done their job, they reported the situation they verified to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff reported the situation they reported to Chiba Xunyi. Chiba Xunyi was more convinced of the accuracy of the information provided by Yan Guiwu, so he sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshio, suggesting that he should seize this opportunity and send
They launched a sneak attack on Guancheng County and eliminated Xu Dalong and those big figures in the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces.
Shinozuka Yoshio officially gave Yamamoto Kazuki the order to carry out his beheading operation.
Kazuki Yamamoto conducted careful research on Xu Dalong and knew that the intelligence work of the Mawushan guerrillas was very good. In order to avoid exposing his intentions, he led the members of the special agent team to mix with a puppet army and left Taiyuan City.
Even so, they did not go directly to Mawu Mountain, but turned around in other directions before quietly running towards Mawu Mountain.
In order to avoid leaking the news, Yamamoto Kazuki did not even tell Chiba Xunichi about his actions.
When he was about to enter Ping'an County, he sent a telegram to Chiba Xunyi, asking him to notify Ning Gang Taro and Shimada Yu to join them in Yangcheng County.
When Kazuki Yamamoto left Taiyuan City, Xu Dalong did not notify Zhou Mingde to investigate because it was difficult for people Zhou Mingde knew to find out information about Kazuki Yamamoto.
The information provided by Yan Guiwu about the special section chief of the 32nd Defense Division and Shimada Yu was a channel to learn the whereabouts of Yamamoto Kazuki.
However, Xu Dalong did not ask Yan Guiwu to inquire about the news, because the matter was too sensitive and few people knew about it. If Yan Guiwu rashly inquired, it would most likely arouse the Japanese army's suspicion of him.
The same is true for Takahashi Hei. He is from the Logistics Department and rarely interacts with the Special Higher Education Department. In order to protect him, Xu Dalong did not notify him to inquire about Taro Ningoka.
The Mawushan guerrillas' intelligence station in Lingao City did not have the help of insiders, and it was impossible to find out the news about Ning Gang Taro and Shimada Yu. Therefore, Xu Dalong was unable to grasp the whereabouts of Yamamoto Kazuki.
But this is not important, because Xu Dalong and others have already set a bait, and Yamamoto Kazuki will definitely come to bite the bait no matter where he is hiding. The Mawushan guerrillas only need to set up a net and wait.
After the commander and chief of staff arrived in Guancheng County, they listened to Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang's work report on the development of the Mawushan base area. Accompanied by Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others, they inspected the agencies, troops, enterprises and institutions in the Mawushan base area.
unit, they discovered that the true strength of the Mawushan base was beyond their imagination.
The Mawushan guerrillas have well-informed intelligence brigades all over central and northwestern Shanxi, powerful flying brigades and tank brigades, a transport brigade with hundreds of vehicles, and more artillery than a Japanese brigade artillery brigade.
The number of cavalry exceeds that of a standard Japanese cavalry regiment, the number of infantry exceeds that of a regular regiment, and the equipment exceeds that of an infantry regiment of the Japanese field force. The remaining special operations squadrons, motorcycle squadrons, and engineer squadrons are all very elite.
In terms of logistics, there are sufficient supplies to ensure supply. The technical strength of the field hospital has also exceeded that of the hospital directly under the headquarters.
Such strong strength does not include the Independent Brigade. Today, the Independent Brigade has gone through countless war tests and has grown into a strong and powerful underground party anti-Japanese force. Its strength can fully compete with other main brigades in the Taiyue Military Region.
In addition, the Mawushan base area also has a medical research institute, an arsenal, a clothing factory, and a mine. Their scale and strength are also considerable.
County brigades in other base areas generally have only a few hundred people and their equipment is very backward. However, the two county brigades in the Mawushan base area have more than 2,200 troops and are better equipped than a regular regiment.
What most lamented the commander and chief of staff was that the troops and agencies in the Mawushan base area were so large that they did not collect taxes from the people. To feed so many people, especially those aircraft and tanks that cost a lot of money, a large number of
Cars and cavalry, the economic pressure can be imagined, and it is scary to think about it.
The commander and chief of staff found that life here was very nurturing. Not only were the troops provided with allowances, but the standard of food was also enviable. Such talents were not something ordinary mid-level commanders could possess.
The chief of staff said with emotion: "With such a strong strength in the Mawushan base, the specifications should have been upgraded long ago. Today's Mawushan guerrillas are still a deputy regiment-level unit, which is really unreasonable. I suggest asking the superiors for instructions and giving Ma
The Wushan Guerrilla Army has a higher standard, and Xu Dalong’s position should be promoted accordingly.”
The commander said: "I have considered this a long time ago, and I have mentioned it to Xu Dalong before. However, Xu Dalong has his own ideas. I still need to seek his opinion on what to do."
The chief of staff said: "We happen to be here now. I will go talk to Xu Dalong today."
The chief of staff was also very cautious. Before talking to Xu Dalong, he first talked to Zhao Gang.
When the chief of staff told Zhao Gang what the commander and himself meant, Zhao Gang said: "The leaders have thought correctly. I also think that the establishment of the Mawushan guerrillas is a bit chaotic now. Here I am the Zheng committee member of the independent brigade, and the main brigade
level, the brigade commander, deputy commissioner, and chief of staff of the independent brigade are all brigade-level cadres. The actual leader here is Captain Xu, but he is a regimental-level cadre. This is because the chiefs gave him a
It turns out that he is the deputy chief of staff of a military division. Otherwise, he would still be the captain of a deputy regiment-level guerrilla brigade, which is a bit unreasonable. Not only do I have this idea, but all the cadres in the base area also have this idea."
The chief of staff said: "The commander has long considered this. Whether it is the size of the army, Xu Dalong's personal leadership skills, or his military exploits, he should have been promoted to a corresponding position long ago.
The commander talked to Xu Dalong, but he himself disagreed. I came to you just to know what Xu Dalong thinks?"
Zhao Gang shook his head and said, "I haven't really talked to the captain about this matter. I don't know what he thought about it."
Zhao Gang is a very principled person, and he is also a fair and selfless person. He does not care about personal gains and losses, and of course he will not talk about issues related to position. Therefore, he has never communicated with Xu Dalong in this regard.
idea.
The chief of staff said: "You first talk to Xu Dalong to find out what he thinks, and then report to me and the commander. While the commander and I happen to be here right now, we will talk to him depending on the situation."
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I will go talk to the captain after dinner today."
Since Na Chuanrong went to Fendong County to perform rituals for the deceased monks, although he was still taciturn, there was still a slight change from before. This can be felt from Xu Dalong's conversation with him. At least.
Na Chuanrong was able to maintain basic courtesy when Xu Dalong was talking to him.
Xu Dalong knew that it was not easy to convince Na Chuanrong, so he was not in a hurry. When he came to visit Na Chuanrong every day, he did not tell him any big principles, nor did he mention the arms matter to him, he just accompanied him.
He chatted for a while and cared about problems in his life.
After dinner that day, Xu Dalong came to the small courtyard where Chuanrong lived.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the sentry on guard saluted Xu Dalong and said to him: "Captain, Miss Chu is talking to the master inside."
Chu Yun'er is a very smart girl. She knew that the secrets held by Na Chuanrong were very important to Xu Dalong, so she came up with the idea of helping him. The last time she accompanied Na Chuanrong back to Fendong County
As a way of doing things, I took the initiative to approach Chuanrong and took great care of him in my daily life. I went to chat with him whenever I needed something.
Chu Yun'er's mother is a Buddhist. Although she is a new youth and is not too enthusiastic about Buddhism, she still has a little understanding of Buddhism since she was a child, and she has some common language when communicating with Na Chuanrong.
Although Chuanrong was stubborn, he was still able to explain something when Chu Yun'er asked him about Buddhist matters.
Xu Dalong said softly to the sentry: "How did they talk?"
The sentry said with some curiosity: "A lot of words were said, but I couldn't understand them. Sometimes I heard Miss Chu laughing there. The master laughed too."
Hearing this, Xu Dalong also felt a little strange, because since he saw Chuanrong, he had never seen him smile, let alone laugh out loud. It seems that Chu Yun'er dealt with this stubborn old guy,
There is still some way.
Xu Dalong didn't want to ruin the atmosphere of their conversation, so he didn't go in and turned back to his dormitory. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Gang sitting inside.
During dinner, Xu Dalong and Zhao Gang were together. Xu Dalong asked curiously: "Zheng Wei, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "If nothing happens, can't I come over? Can't I just chat with you?"
Zhao Gang is a relatively serious person and rarely chats with Xu Dalong except about work.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This is not normal. Just tell me, what else do you want to see me for?"
Zhao Gang said: "Come over and sit down first. I really have something to ask you."
