Xu Dalong sent someone to spread the word that if there were any more returning landowners who dared to harm the people, Zhao Fenglin's fate would be their example.
The head of the headquarters has been paying attention to Xu Dalong's situation. When he learned that Xu Dalong was still opening up a new base here, he said with some dissatisfaction: "What is Xu Dalong doing? If he doesn't go back to host such a big stall in Ma Wushan, isn't this overkill?
?Call the Taiyue Military Region and ask them to notify Xu Dalong to return to Mawu Mountain as soon as possible."
The commander asked Xu Dalong to come out to avoid the limelight. Now that Wang Huaiming and others had left, it was meaningless for Xu Dalong to stay here any longer, so he sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, asking him to leave Kangzhuang County and report back to the military region.
Xu Dalong doesn't want to give up halfway. Now that he has made a start here, he hopes to make a name for himself.
He sent a telegram to the commander, requesting that he stay for a while longer.
The commander agreed with Xu Dalong's opinion, but he thought that if Xu Dalong made a small fuss here, it would take a long time, so he simply decided to send Ding Wei's 87th Brigade to Kangzhuang County to fight a big battle and defeat this area.
The Japanese and puppet troops quickly expanded their anti-Japanese base areas.
Xu Dalong was very happy when he heard that Ding Wei's 87th Brigade was coming. In order to catch the Japanese army off guard, he sent a telegram to Ding Wei, asking them to march secretly at night.
This morning, Ding Wei led the troops of the 87th Brigade to Majunying Village where Xu Dalong and others temporarily lived, and received a warm welcome from Xu Dalong and others.
Seeing Xu Dalong, Ding Wei said happily: "Brother Dalong, you have done a great job in the Mawushan base area. Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are with you now. I have also asked the commander for instructions, hoping to get the commander's instructions."
I agreed. But the commander disagreed. I have always felt very sorry.
Now, we brothers can fight side by side and fight a great battle."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Commander Ding, I think so too. You brought the 87th Brigade over, and my back suddenly became hard. You take a rest first, and then we will work it out. Let's kill the Japanese independence."
Mixed into the Ninth Brigade."
Ding Wei really wanted to fight a big battle with Xu Dalong, but he didn't expect that Xu Dalong had such a big appetite and wanted to eat the Japanese independent ninth brigade in one bite. If he could really do this, the 87th Brigade would really
Showed his face.
He said very excitedly: "Why rest? Let's discuss it now."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk while eating."
Hirota Jiro led a large group of troops to occupy Liujiaji Town. They searched everywhere to find the whereabouts of the Northeastern Shanxi guerrillas.
Xu Dalong led the guerrillas to attack everywhere, specifically attacking small groups of Japanese puppet troops and traitor maintenance personnel who had returned home.
As soon as the Japanese army heard the news that guerrillas had appeared somewhere, they concentrated their main forces to encircle them. However, Xu Dalong and others were always able to evacuate quickly. The Japanese army repeatedly missed them. Hirota Jiro was furious, thinking that the guerrillas were timid and did not dare to fight them.
.
On this day, he finally received a piece of good news. The Northeastern Shanxi guerrillas appeared in Yufeng County and were besieging the Japanese and puppet troops staying in the county.
The Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade came out to clean up this time and placed a large number of supplies in Yufeng County. Tanaka Guangren's brigade has not yet replenished its troops, so they did not participate in the raids against the Northeastern Shanxi guerrillas this time, leaving behind
In the county seat, protect the baggage of the brigade.
This batch of baggage is very important to the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade. Once lost, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade will soon be in a state of running out of ammunition and food, and can only withdraw to the original station, and this sweep operation can only be hasty.
The end of the world. Therefore, Hirota Jiro must not let anything happen to this batch of baggage.
He hurriedly mobilized the two infantry brigades closest to Yufeng County to go for reinforcements.
While urging the troops to speed up their march, he ordered Hirohito Tanaka to entangle the enemy troops to buy time for the main troops to arrive and create conditions for encircling and annihilating the guerrillas.
Outside Yufeng County, Wang Pao commanded the motorcycle squadron and the new recruits who had just joined the guerrillas to attack the county town.
The Japanese army could not figure out the true situation. They just saw that the number of enemy troops was large, so they did not dare to come out and just stood firm on the city wall.
At this time, Xu Dalong and Ding Wei had led the main force of the 87th Brigade, as well as Wei Monk's special operations squadron, and set up an ambush on the road where the Japanese reinforcements must pass.
Hirota Jiro led an infantry brigade to meet up with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army coming from other places at the fork in the road leading to Yufeng County, and then continued to Yufeng County together.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of Japanese troops drove over. Leading the way were six motorcycles and a truck full of Japanese soldiers. They were the vanguard, about 300 meters away from the Japanese marching group. Behind them were Japanese infantry.
, artillery, baggage and a squadron of infantry as rear guard.
Hirohei Jiro searched for the guerrillas in Northeastern Shanxi for so long, but found nothing. This time he finally found the main force of the guerrillas. He believed that as long as he led a large group of troops to arrive, he would be able to eliminate these hateful guerrillas. Therefore, on the road, he kept
Urging the troops to speed up their march.
Since Hirota Jiro didn't know that Ding Wei had led an entire brigade of troops to the battlefield, the Japanese army was extremely vigilant when marching, and even said that there was no guard post at all. The officers and soldiers had their guns on their shoulders and lined up neatly.
Run all the way along the road.
Ding Wei received a report from the surveillance post that the Japanese marching group was approaching. He was very excited and ordered the troops to prepare for battle.
40 minutes later, all Japanese troops entered the ambush circle of the 87th Brigade.
Ding Wei said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, give the order."
Xu Dalong did not refuse, he took up his sniper rifle, aimed at a car in the Japanese marching column, and fired a shot.
The sound of gunfire was an order, and the officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade immediately opened fire fiercely at the Japanese marching brigade.
Although the equipment of Ding Wei's 87th Brigade was not as good as Li Yunlong's New 1st Brigade, it was not far behind, and its firepower was no less than that of the same number of Japanese troops.
At this moment, Hirota Jiro brought only two infantry brigades with a total of 2,000 people. They were unprepared and were caught off guard, suffering heavy casualties.
Ding Wei was an experienced general. In order not to give the Japanese a chance to breathe, he immediately ordered his troops to attack after two minutes of firepower attack.
Nearly 8,000 officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade, armed with sharp bayonets, charged towards the Japanese army. In front of them were a large number of machine gunners, who fired fiercely at the Japanese army while charging.
The Japanese army was very tenacious and well-trained. After being attacked, they were only temporarily panicked. The soldiers began to organize a counterattack under the command of their officers.
However, the enemy's firepower was too strong. The main goal of Wei Monk's special operations squadron was to snipe the Japanese officers. As the officers continued to be killed, the Japanese army became more and more chaotic, and it was difficult to organize effective resistance for a while.
Taking advantage of the chaos, officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade rushed onto the road and started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army.
After the fire attack, the Japanese army lost nearly half of its troops. Although they still resisted tenaciously, their number was too small. On average, eight officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade dealt with one Japanese soldier. Although the Japanese army's stabbing skills were very good,
Excellent, but it is difficult for a hero to defeat four armies, and a tiger cannot stand against a pack of wolves. They were constantly annihilated by the officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade.
The officers and soldiers eliminated one Japanese soldier and then took the initiative to besiege other Japanese soldiers.
Later, on average, one Japanese soldier had to deal with dozens of officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade. The officers and soldiers surrounded the Japanese soldiers and stabbed them randomly. The Japanese soldiers could not resist at all, and they died one after another.
Later, there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers left, and it was difficult for the soldiers who had eliminated the Japanese soldiers in front of them to find even one.
Most of the fighting on the road ended soon. Only Hirota Jiro was left to resist stubbornly under the protection of more than 100 Japanese soldiers. He was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade.
Hirota Jiro regretted his underestimation of the enemy. He originally thought that the enemy was just a small guerrilla force, but in the end he encountered such a large enemy force.
It's too late to regret it now. He was a fanatical Nazi. Seeing thousands of anti-Japanese fighters around him, he knew that he would definitely die here today.
In order to show his wushi spirit, he ordered the Japanese soldiers in front to get out of the way, walked to the front, pulled out his command sword, and yelled loudly.
There was a Japanese interpreter beside him, shouting: "The anti-Japanese armed forces of your underground party will carry out sneak attacks and have no samurai spirit. In order to show the honor of the soldiers, I suggest that we have a fair duel."
Ding Wei is not Li Yunlong or Kong Jie, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense with the Japanese.
He shouted: "Machine gunners, come out." Dozens of soldiers with machine guns stood up and pointed their black muzzles at Hirota Jiro and others.
Ding Wei said contemptuously: "There are no more despicable people in the world than you Japanese devils. You are all beasts, how can you be called soldiers? It is really ridiculous to talk about martial ethics to beasts like you."
Hirota Jiro originally wanted to use the provoking method to back him up, preferably to kill one of the opponent's commanders, but he didn't expect that he would not be fooled.
He waved his command knife in despair and rushed forward with a strange cry.
The Japanese soldiers behind him also knew that this was their last stand, and they followed him and charged forward with strange screams.
Ding Wei raised his hand and waved it down, shouting: "Fire."
Dozens of light machine guns spit out fiery snakes.
The Japanese soldiers fell down row by row, and soon there was no longer a single Japanese soldier standing.
Hirota Jiro was the main target of the soldiers. He was hit by at least hundreds of bullets and was almost beaten to a pulp.
"Victory. Victory." Having eliminated the main force of the Japanese independent mixed ninth brigade, the officers and soldiers of the 87th Brigade were very excited, cheering and expressing their joy of victory.
After this great victory, the soldiers' morale was high and they simply came to Yufeng County. After a fierce battle, they captured Yufeng County.
Hirohito Tanaka was promoted to captain, and he was happy for a few days. He also accompanied the former captain to meet their sweet Aunt Zhao.
After capturing Yufeng County and seizing most of the baggage of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, the underground anti-Japanese armed forces made another windfall.
Xu Dalong and others became more and more courageous as they fought, and went to attack other troops of the Japanese independent ninth brigade.
The Japanese army got the news and knew that the brigade commander and the main force of the brigade had been annihilated. They did not dare to fight and fled.
The anti-Japanese armed forces successively captured Kangzhuang County, Qili County, and Yaoshan County. They swept away the Japanese and puppet grassroots organizations in the vast countryside and opened up base areas covering a wide area of eight counties, including four county towns. Due to the seizure this time
The weapons, ammunition and supplies were abundant, and Ding Wei took the opportunity to recruit a large number of new soldiers, expanding the army to more than 15,000 people.
The Taiyue Military Region Headquarters submitted to superiors for approval, and with Ding Wei's 87th Brigade as the core, the Sixth Military Division of the Taiyue Military Region was established, with Ding Wei as commander.
Ding Wei really hoped that Xu Dalong could stay here. Unfortunately, Xu Dalong received the commander's order and reported to the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Ding Wei and the leaders of the Sixth Army Division could only hold a farewell banquet for Xu Dalong and others, and bid them farewell reluctantly.
The head of the headquarters greatly praised Xu Dalong's outstanding performance in opening up a new base area, and specially wrote a battle report and submitted it to his superiors.
The news reached Wang Huaiming's backer. He said with emotion in front of Wang Huaiming: "This Xu Dalong is really a character. It's a pity."
Although Wang Huaiming hated Xu Dalong, he had to be convinced. Compared with others, his two actions were really far behind.
He saw that Xu Dalong was widely praised by his superiors, including his own backers, who seemed to have changed their views on Xu Dalong.
From then on, even if he wanted to cause trouble for Xu Dalong, he would not dare to say anything.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
The commander and chief of staff met with Xu Dalong. They first praised him for his contribution in opening up a new base area, and then said: "After you left the Mawushan base area, the mood of the troops was a bit unstable, and the Japanese and puppet troops also attacked again.
If there are signs in the base area, you rush back to the troops to stabilize the morale of the troops and repel the enemy's attack."
Since the Mawushan Military Division has been established in the Mawushan base area, the Taiyue Military Region has made new personnel arrangements.
The headquarters and the Taiyue Military Region intend to put Xu Dalong in full charge of the work in the Mawushan base area. He will serve as the commander and committee member Zheng, Li Yunlong will serve as the first deputy commander, Zhao Gang will serve as the first deputy committee member Zheng, and Kong Jie will serve as the deputy commander.
Gao Zhiyong is appointed as Deputy Commissioner Zheng.
The commander and chief of staff called Xu Dalong back in order to announce the appointment to him and also seek his opinion.
Xu Daolong first thanked the head of the headquarters and the head of the Taiyue Military Region for their regard for him, but he declined the appointment.
He believed that his qualifications were too young and that he was too young to be the main person in charge of Mawushan, which was not conducive to better work. He insisted on continuing to serve as the captain of the Mawushan guerrillas, and the guerrillas still maintained a deputy regiment level establishment.
