Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang personally escorted Kong Jie to the entrance of the village. When they saw him walking away, they walked towards the regiment headquarters.
When passing by the artillery company yard, I heard someone shouting inside: "First gunner is ready, scale 102, direction 57. Second gunner is ready to load."
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "Old Zhao, let's go in and have a look."
Li Yunlong and Zhao just entered the yard of the artillery company and saw Wang Chengzhu and others playing with the newly captured Type 92 infantry gun in the yard.
Seeing the regimental leader and political commissar coming, Wang Chengzhu hurriedly shouted: "Everyone stand at attention!"
After speaking, he ran to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, stood at attention and saluted, and said: "Report to the regimental commander and political commissar that the artillery company is practicing. Please give instructions. Artillery company commander Wang Chengzhu."
Li Yunlong returned the gift and said, "Take a break."
He walked up to the Type 92 Infantry Cannon, touched the barrel, and said happily: "The Type 92 Infantry Cannon captured last time was cheaper than Ding Wei. It's better this time, and we finally have another one."
.”
Wang Chengzhu said: "Commander, this cannon is better and brand new. It's just that the shells are missing. There are only 27 rounds in total."
Li Yunlong said: "Zhuzi, just be content with what you have. If you use these shells well, even if you use three rounds to kill one of the Japs's turrets, you can kill seven or eight of his turrets. When the time comes, you can fire them accurately for me and don't waste them."
"
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Li, you were smart enough not to ask for the weapons and ammunition from the Okazaki Brigade. In the end, you saved the weapons and ammunition seized from the Hirata Brigade. I am really worried about the Type 92 Infantry Artillery, if the superiors ask for it.
It’s over.”
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Zhao, actually you still don't understand the brigade commander. Don't watch him keep scolding us. In fact, he is still facing us. Otherwise, this batch of weapons and ammunition seized from Pingtian Brigade
, we have to hand over half."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang left the artillery company and returned to the regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, Xu Dalong and his special service platoon are really good at fighting. I think we should just expand the special service platoon into a special service company."
Zhao Gang said: "I have no objection to this. Xu Dalong is indeed capable, but the training consumption of this special service platoon is too great. If it is expanded into a company, our regiment cannot afford it."
Li Yunlong said: "Then we can't wrong Xu Dalong. I think we should report it to the brigade headquarters to expand the special service platoon into a special service company, make Xu Dalong the company commander, and give him the establishment of three platoons. As for the specific number of people to recruit, that depends on
He is as capable as Xu Dalong."
Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, it's your brain that's better, I agree."
Li Yunlong said: "Then let's do it. One more thing, Lao Kong is gone and the leadership in the regiment is weak. I suggest promoting Zhang Dabiao to the chief of staff of the independent regiment. What do you think?"
Zhao Gang said: "Zhang Dabiao is very capable and I have no objection."
Li Yunlong said: "Well, let's report to the brigade commander and ask the superiors to issue a formal order."
Zhao Gang said: "I will draft a report and send someone to the brigade headquarters. Lao Li, Xu Dalong and the others went to Taiyuan. It is a tiger's den and a wolf's den there. Is there any danger?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Don't look at Xu Dalong's honest appearance, but in fact, that kid is smarter than a monkey if he is covered with fur.
Don't worry, Xu Dalong never comes back empty-handed every time he goes out. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he can get back this time."
At this time, Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong, Zhao Xiaoman, Wang Xiaohu and Qin Yu were carrying a set of communication equipment seized from the Pingtian Brigade, disguised as communication soldiers checking the lines, riding horses, and walking on the road to Taiyuan in a swaggering manner.
superior.
When they arrived outside Taiyuan City, they did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they climbed up a telephone pole outside the city, connected to the military telephone line leading to the city, and eavesdropped on the contents of the phone calls.
After a period of eavesdropping, Xu Dalong basically grasped the basic information about the Japanese army's organization and numbers in Taiyuan City, and then entered Taiyuan City.
After entering the city, Xu Dalong and others found a bathhouse. There were single rooms in the bathhouse where you could stay. It was very convenient to hide your identity here.
Xu Dalong asked Zheng Xirong and the others to wait in the bathtub. He changed into a suit, disguised himself as a teacher, called a rickshaw, and came to Taiyuan Higher Medical School.
After entering the school, he came to the vicinity of the teaching building.
After class, when he saw teachers passing by, Xu Dalong asked them about Su Xiaoyan. It turned out that Su Xiaoyan was not in this school, but went to the Chemistry Research Institute of a chemical plant.
When Xu Dalong arrived at the chemical plant, he discovered that there were Japanese military police standing guard at the entrance of the chemical plant.
Xu Dalong had seen Su Xiaoyan's photo from Wang Xinmin. He waited until after get off work in the evening. Many people came out of the chemical factory, but Su Xiaoyan was not found.
Xu Dalong returned to the bathhouse and stayed here that night.
The next morning, Xu Dalong and others came to the vicinity of the chemical plant, pretended to repair communication lines, climbed up the telephone poles near the chemical plant, cut the telephone wires pulled out of the chemical plant, and then came to the door of the chemical plant.
.
Xu Dalong said to the guard in fluent Japanese: "We are from the communications squadron of the First Army Headquarters. There is a fault in the lines in this area and we need to carry out maintenance now." As he said that, he showed his ID.
After the guard checked and found nothing wrong, he let them in.
In the chemical factory, they saw a small white building with a sign of the Chemical Engineering Research Institute hanging on the door, so they walked in.
They pretended to check each room one by one. They checked seven rooms and still didn't see Su Xiaoyan.
He guessed that Su Xiaoyan might be upstairs, so he walked upstairs.
As soon as Xu Dalong walked near the stairs, he saw two people coming down. One of the young women was Su Xiaoyan. It seemed that she was going out.
Xu Dalong wanted to call her, but there was someone behind her, making it inconvenient to speak.
At this time, he winked at Zheng Xirong. Zheng Xirong was very smart and immediately stopped the man, saying that he wanted to go to the toilet and asked him to help lead the way.
The man saw that Zheng Xirong was a Japanese soldier and did not dare to offend him, so he took him to the toilet upstairs.
Xu Dalong said to Su Xiaoyan in Japanese: "Miss, I have something to ask you, please."
Su Xiaoyan said politely: "You're welcome, please speak."
Xu Dalong took a step forward, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and whispered in Chinese: "I am Wang Xinmin's friend, and I have his autographed letter here."
After that, he said in a normal voice: "A letter came from my home. I don't know some of the words. Please help me read it."
He took out Wang Xinmin's personal letter.
Su Xiaoyan took the letter, read it hastily, and suddenly became excited. Just as she was about to say something, Xu Dalong coughed, shook his head slightly, and motioned her not to speak with his eyes.
At this time, a man came out of the room next to them and walked past them.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Su Xiaoyan quickly asked: "How is Xinmin? Where is he now?"
Xu Dalong took the time and said, "Can you leave the chemical plant?"
Su Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "I can't get out."
Xu Dalong asked: "Where do you live? How many people live in one room?"
Su Xiaoyan said: "I live upstairs, in the penultimate room at the end of the corridor on the right, alone."
Xu Dalong said: "That's it, I'll pick you up in the middle of the night."
After saying that, he said loudly: "Thank you, lady. My family is safe. Thank you so much."
At this time, the man who was with Su Xiaoyan came back, and he left with Su Xiaoyan.
Xu Dalong and others went upstairs to check the location of Su Xiaoyan's room, then left the chemical plant and went outside to connect the phone line.
The gate of Taiyuan City is also closed at night. It is impossible for Xu Dalong and others to take Su Xiaoyan out of the city, so they can only walk through the city wall. However, there is a moat outside Taiyuan City, which is more than ten meters wide. It is not easy to cross the river.
matter.
Xu Dalong and others first surveyed the route from the chemical plant to the city wall, and then went up to the city wall in the name of inspecting the route.
After taking a good look at the terrain, Xu Dalong only left Zheng Xirong behind and asked the others to go out of the city to meet him outside the city.
It was still very early before dark, so Xu Dalong took Zheng Xirong to watch a movie.
It was Zheng Xirong's first time watching a movie, and he felt very fresh. He became immersed in the plot as he watched it, and couldn't help but say, "Platoon leader, that guy is really interesting."
As soon as he said these words, Xu Dalong was startled, and he quickly reached out and pinched Zheng Xirong.
Zheng Xirong woke up and shocked himself. Fortunately, the audience was focused on the plot and did not pay attention to them.
After watching the movie, it was still very early, so Xu Dalong took Zheng Xirong to a nightclub.
Zheng Xirong had never seen such an occasion before, and everything felt new. However, this time he remembered the lesson he learned while watching the movie and remained silent.
Zheng Xirong is a shy young man. When he saw the dancers on the stage with their snow-white thighs exposed and doing lap dances, he couldn't help but blush and turned his head to the side. But he really couldn't resist the temptation, and after a while he couldn't help it anymore
Stare hard.
Xu Dalong ordered two glasses of red wine, and Zheng Xirong took a sip. He couldn't get used to the taste and almost vomited it out.
He whispered: "Why does this foreign wine taste so bad? It's really not as good as sweet potato roasting."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You are really ignorant. Did you know? The glass of wine you drank can buy five bottles of sweet potato roast."
At this time, a beautifully dressed dancer came over and invited Xu Dalong to dance. Xu Dalong graciously accepted the dancer's invitation, and they walked hand in hand onto the dance floor.
After Xu Dalong left, another dancer walked towards Zheng Xirong.
When Zheng Xirong saw the dancer's fragrant costume, his mouth went dry and his eyes went straight.
The dancer enthusiastically invited him to dance. Zheng Xirong was startled. He was afraid of revealing his secret and did not dare to speak. He could only wave his hands nervously.
Seeing how confused this guy was, the dancer twisted her waist and left.
Zheng Xirong looked at Xu Dalong dancing gracefully on the dance floor and was so impressed that he thought to himself: "Why does the platoon leader know everything?"
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong stayed until 1 a.m. before leaving the nightclub.
They arrived at the Post and Telecommunications Building, which they had already looked at during the day, and there were many vehicles parked there.
The chemical plant is far away from the city wall. It is impossible for Xu Dalong to take Su Xiaoyan across such a long block on foot, so he must get a car.
So Xu Dalong came to a Ford car. He didn't have the key to the car, but this couldn't help him.
He first opened the car door with the master key, then modified the wiring and started the car.
Arriving near the chemical plant, Xu Dalong parked his car in a shadow outside the fence. He came to the fence and jumped up onto the fence.
Xu Dalong came to the back of the small white building, spotted the room where Su Xiaoyan was, and hung on the roof with his flying claws. Then he climbed up and reached Su Xiaoyan's window. He gently tapped the window with his fingers.
Glass.
Su Xiaoyan was already waiting inside. When she heard the knocking on the glass, she opened the window.
Xu Dalong reached out and took her out, but found that Su Xiaoyan was still holding a large suitcase in her hand.
Xu Dalong was very depressed and persuaded her to give up her suitcase, saying that no matter what she lacked, he could buy it for her outside.
But Su Xiaoyan refused, saying that there were many important things in it and insisted on taking the suitcase away.
Xu Dalong had no choice but to tie the suitcase with a rope and slide the suitcase down first. Then he let Su Xiaoyan hold his neck with both hands and led her to the ground.
Soon after, the two climbed out of the wall and drove towards the city wall.
Xu Dalong was driving a car with the windows open, listening to the movements around him while driving.
Hearing the footsteps of the patrol, he turned the car to the side street, thus avoiding the patrol and arriving at the edge of the city wall smoothly.
Xu Dalong climbed up the city wall, Zheng Xirong tied Su Xiaoyan's waist with a rope, and Xu Dalong pulled her up the city wall.
It is easy to climb the city wall, but it is difficult to cross the moat.
Xu Dalong imitated a few bird calls. Soon, bird calls came from outside, and then Wang Xiaohu and others appeared on the edge of the moat.
Xu Dalong tied the rope to the arrow stack and threw the flying claw across the moat. Wang Xiaohu and others took the flying claw and fixed it at the root of a telegraph pole outside the city.
Zheng Xirong took out an iron hook and hung it on the rope. He first gave Su Xiaoyan a demonstration, and then slid across the moat.
It was Su Xiaoyan's turn. She looked at the bright moat, not daring to slide across it.
Xu Dalong had no choice but to let her hug his neck again. He held the iron hook with one hand and Su Xiaoyan's waist with the other. He asked her to close her eyes and slid across the moat.
Afterwards, everyone got on their horses and embarked on the road back to the base.
On the way, Zheng Xirong showed off to Wang Xiaohu and others his experience of watching movies and going to nightclubs. Wang Xiaohu and others were extremely envious, and they all clamored to follow him to a Western restaurant next time.
Since they only brought five horses, Xu Dalong and Su Xiaoyan rode on the same horse on the way back.
Xu Dalong asked: "What is Miss Su studying in that chemical plant?"
Su Xiaoyan shook her head and said: "I work in a medical clinic in a chemical plant. My teacher is doing research. I don't know what the specific research is."
Xu Dalong felt that whether it was Wang Xinmin's teacher or Su Xiaoyan's teacher, there were secrets hidden in them. If he had the chance, he must explore them carefully.
After entering Ping'an County, Xu Dalong asked Wang Xiaohu and others to escort Su Xiaoyan back to Yangcun first. He, Zheng Xirong and Zhao Xiaoman went to Ping'an County to find Wang Xinmin.
Taiyuan is several days away from Pingan County. Xu Dalong knew that the Japanese had already noticed that Su Xiaoyan had escaped from the chemical plant. Perhaps they would have guessed that Su Xiaoyan might come to find Wang Xinmin.
Wang Xinmin might be arrested or under surveillance. Therefore, he did not rush to find Wang Xinmin, but first found an inn to stay.
Early the next morning, they arrived near Wang Xinmin's residence and quietly observed.
