Xu Dalong said: "I want to buy you a shop in the county town to do business. I wonder if you are willing? In fact, the life in the county town is much better than that in the village."
Huang Jinxian was a little worried. He said: "I only know how to farm and do business. I have never done this before."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If you are willing, I can find someone to help you with the purchase of the store and management matters."
Huang Jinxian thought for a while and said: "That's okay. I feel a little uneasy when I return to the village, so let's go to the county seat."
Soon after, Huang Jinxian and his wife packed up their things, hired a carriage and followed Xu Dalong and others to Ping'an County.
When they arrived near the county seat, Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and Zhao Xiaoman disguised themselves as long-term workers from Huang Jinxian and his wife's family and followed them into the county seat.
After entering the city, Zhao Xiaoman followed Huang Jinxian and his wife to Huang Wanqiu's aunt's house. From then on, he stayed with Huang Jinxian and his wife as Xu Dalong's traffic officer.
The purpose of Xu Dalong's arrangement was to set up a secret liaison station in Ping'an County. Of course, in order not to implicate Huang Jinxian and his wife, he did not let them participate in any anti-Japanese activities, just to cover Zhao Xiaoman's identity in the city.
That night, Xu Dalong came to Wang Xinmin's residence.
Seeing Xu Dalong, Wang Xinmin asked eagerly: "How is Xiaoyan?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Miss Su is very good. She is now helping in the health team of our independent regiment and helping the soldiers learn culture. She is really the most popular person in the independent regiment. Doctor Wang, you have such good vision and you are really blessed.
Ah, it is so enviable to have such an outstanding confidante." As he said that, he took out Su Xiaoyan's autographed letter to Wang Xinmin.
Wang Xinmin opened the envelope, unfolded the letter paper, and saw a strand of hair wrapped inside. Wang Xinmin felt a sense of happiness in his heart. He carefully put away the strand of hair and read on eagerly.
In the letter, Su Xiaoyan was very enthusiastic about Wang Xinmin, expressed her admiration for his patriotic actions, encouraged him to make more contributions to the anti-Japanese war, and said that she was waiting for him to complete his mission and return victoriously.
Although Su Xiaoyan was good to Wang Xinmin before, she had never been so enthusiastic, especially the respect she showed for Wang Xinmin, which Wang Xinmin had never enjoyed before.
He feels very happy now and is full of gratitude to Xu Dalong. If Xu Dalong hadn't arranged for him to contribute to the anti-Japanese war, Su Xiaoyan's feelings for her would not have reached this level.
Wang Xinmin excitedly held Xu Dalong's hand and said, "Platoon Commander Xu, thank you so much. Please take more care of my Xiaoyan."
Wang Xinmin didn't dare to call her "my Xiaoyan" like this before. Now Su Xiaoyan's attitude towards him gave him this confidence. When he said this, his heart was filled with happiness.
Zheng Xirong interrupted and said: "Stop calling me Platoon Commander Xu. Brother Dalong is already the company commander of the special service company of our independent regiment."
Wang Xinmin hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Company Commander Xu for your promotion." Then they started talking about the situation in the clinic.
Ever since Wang Xinmin accepted the task assigned by Xu Dalong, he began to pay attention to the whereabouts of his teacher Shimizu Kazuo.
He said: "There is indeed something strange about Teacher Qingshui. Once, the middle-aged man came to see Teacher Qingshui again, and they were talking in the back room of the medical office. I saw no one was paying attention outside, so I eavesdropped.
The man inside spoke fluent Japanese and must have been Japanese, but their voices were too low and I couldn’t hear clearly what they said. I only heard something about a national treasure and mentioned a name, which seemed to be Sun, followed by the two
I couldn't hear the words clearly. Later, a nurse came in to see Teacher Qingshui, and I left."
"National treasure, surnamed Sun." Xu Dalong said doubtfully. He thought for a moment, but he had no clue.
He said: "Doctor Wang, the information you provided is very important. You should continue to work hard to learn more about this matter. However, you must be more careful when doing things, pay attention to your own safety, and remember not to be reckless.
Thank you very much for your contribution to the war against Japan and your performance. I will tell Miss Su when I go back and make her proud of you."
When Wang Xinmin heard the compliments, especially the words "Su Xiaoyan would be proud of him", his blood surged and he was full of fighting spirit.
He vowed: "Company Commander Xu, don't worry, as a Chinese, I will definitely work hard to contribute to the anti-Japanese war."
At this point, he remembered something and said: "Company Commander Xu, if I discover something, how can I contact you?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. We have now set up a contact station in Ping'an County. A person named Zhao Xiaoman will contact you after a while."
As he spoke, he introduced Zhao Xiaoman's appearance, age and other information, as well as the secret code for their connection.
After Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong left, Wang Xinmin couldn't wait to take out the lock of Su Xiaoyan's hair. He smelled the fragrance on it and couldn't help but kiss it.
After the kiss, he was worried that his hair would get damp, so he quickly took out a cotton ball and wiped it carefully, then put it on a piece of gauze.
He stared at his hair with a happy smile on his face.
Xu Dalong and others left Ping'an County, came to Heifengkou, took out the weapons and ammunition buried there, and prepared to return to the Independent Regiment.
After Xu Dalong and others walked more than ten miles, they arrived at the fork in the road ahead.
He reined in the horse, thought for a moment, and then walked towards another road.
Monk Wei asked curiously: "Master Long, this is not the way back to Zhaojiayu. Why don't we go back to the Independent Regiment now? Is there a new combat target?"
When Monk Wei said this, he was a little excited, because he didn't want to just go back to the Independent Regiment. He hoped that Xu Dalong could arrange something more exciting, and it would be best to go fight with the Japanese again.
Xu Dalong said: "Instead of going to war, what does our special service company lack most now?"
After thinking for a while, Monk Wei said: "Now our company has a lot of people, and there is no shortage of weapons and equipment. The biggest shortage should be horses." At this point, he became excited and said: "Master Long, is it somewhere?
Are there Japanese cavalry? Let’s go get the horses back.”
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "I was also thinking, where are the Japanese cavalry? Unfortunately, there are none in this area. We can only think of other ways. I plan to find someone to get a group of them back."
Zheng Xirong asked: "Company commander, who has so many horses? Even if they do, will they be willing to give them to others if they ask for them?"
Xu Dalong was not sure now, he said: "You will know after you try it."
Xu Dalong and others walked along the road for more than five hours. When they were about to stop and rest, they saw a group of cavalry appearing in front of them.
Xu Dalong observed it carefully and said with a smile: "It's really lucky that our trip was not in vain."
Soon after, the cavalry in front approached. It turned out to be Chu Yunfei, commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and his guards.
It turned out that Xu Dalong was waiting for Chu Yunfei. Based on time calculation, he knew that by this time Li Yunlong had already led the independent regiment to kill the Japs' North China Military Officers Observation Group, and it was time for Chu Yunfei to leave.
The headquarters of the 358th Regiment is in Qingfeng Town at the junction of Ping'an County and Guancheng County. He should have taken this road when he returned from Zhaojiayu.
He wasn't completely sure, he just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect that he actually waited for Chu Yunfei.
Xu Dalong came to Chu Yunfei because he wanted horses. Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was fed by the emperor, and they were the main team in the World War II zone. The materials allocated to them by their superiors were very abundant.
Shanxi and Inner Mongolia border, and Inner Mongolia is rich in horses. It is not difficult for Chu Yunfei to obtain horses. There must be many war horses in Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. As for whether Chu Yunfei is willing to give them, Xu Dalong is not.
Worried, he knew Chu Yunfei's character and he was generous. As long as he could get his approval, it shouldn't be a big problem to get dozens of horses.
Xu Dalong rode forward, saluted Chu Yunfei on horseback, and said, "Hello, sir."
Chu Yunfei admired Xu Dalong very much, and he said happily: "Brother Dalong, why didn't I see you? It turns out you are here."
Chu Yunfei saw the soldiers of the special service company carrying a lot of weapons and ammunition on horseback, and asked: "Brother Dalong, where are you fighting another battle?"
Xu Dalong simply told the story of the battle at Heifengkou.
Chu Yunfei said with emotion: "There are only a dozen of you, but you took down a stronghold defended by the Japanese army and annihilated hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops without any casualties. It is really amazing."
Brother Dalong, I would like to invite you and your brothers to visit the 358th Regiment, is it okay?"
Xu Dalong said happily: "Of course, you are giving me face like this, which is really flattering for a humble person."
When Chu Yunfei saw Xu Dalong's sincere look, he also felt that it was very honorable. He said with great appreciation: "Brother Dalong, you are such an interesting person. Come, let's talk while walking."
Chu Yunfei and Xu Dalong rode side by side. Chu Yunfei already recognized Xu Dalong's tactical level. He wanted to take a look at Xu Dalong's cultural quality.
""The long clouds in Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.
Dark clouds cover the Qinghai Lake, covering the continuous snow-capped mountains. The ancient border city and Yumen Pass are thousands of miles apart, facing each other from afar.
Just like the Japanese invaders invaded our country, relying on their strong military power, they continued to devour our land, and the situation of the war of resistance was precarious, just like the scene described in these two poems."
When Chu Yunfei said this, he deliberately paused and looked at Xu Dalong to see how he would say his words.
Xu Dalong smiled faintly and said: "The yellow sand will wear the golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Loulan will never be returned until it is broken."
The soldiers guarding the border have experienced hundreds of battles, their armor has been worn out, and their ambition is unquenchable. They vow not to return home until they defeat the invading enemy.
Although the Japanese invaders relied on their modern industrial civilization and armed forces to the teeth, they were rampant for a while. However, they were just a small country with scant resources and underpopulation. They wanted to annex our 5,000-year-old splendid civilization and our 450 million inhabitants.
The vastness of China among our compatriots is tantamount to a snake swallowing an elephant. It is simply wishful thinking.
As long as we, the Chinese athletes, strengthen our confidence and stand up to resist, we will be able to bring down Japan by simply fighting with the Japanese army, and the destruction of Japan will be a matter of time."
Although Xu Dalong's tone was plain, he revealed a convincing firmness and confidence.
Chu Yunfei heard Li Yunlong say that Xu Dalong was born as a cook. He originally thought that he was just a martial artist, but he did not expect that he could have such a cultural background and speak well.
Not only that, but he also had a high-level political opinion, which really amazed Chu Yunfei.
He sincerely praised: "Well said, brother Dalong, I never thought that you are not only a military talent, but also have such cultural accomplishment, which is amazing."
It was a full six hours' journey from here to Qingfeng Town, where the headquarters of the 358th Regiment was based. Chu Yunfei had a cordial conversation with Xu Dalong along the way.
He found that Xu Dalong was so knowledgeable, yet very humble and very perceptive. It was really a pleasure to talk to him.
Chu Yunfei suddenly envied Li Yunlong, wondering where he had snagged such a general.
The two of them walked and talked all the way, and when they arrived at the 358th Regiment Headquarters, Chu Yunfei actually felt towards Xu Dalong as if he had been an old friend for many years.
Chu Yunfei and Xu Dalong arrived at Qingfeng Town. When they arrived at the gate of the regiment headquarters compound, Chu Yunfei asked Sun Ming to take the other soldiers of the special service company to the yard next door to arrange accommodation. He invited Xu Dalong to visit the regiment headquarters.
.
As soon as the two entered the regiment compound, they heard a young woman's sweet voice: "Brother, you are back."
A girl about 20 years old rushed over and directly took Chu Yunfei's arm.
Chu Yunfei said happily: "Yun'er, why are you here?"
The girl said angrily: "Brother, what are you talking about? You said you wanted to go home last month, but you haven't gone back yet. This is not the first time that you have not followed through on your words. Your parents are very worried about you. I am on winter vacation.
, I came here with the people you were working on. Why, don’t you welcome me here?”
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Welcome! I raise my hands to welcome you, okay?" As he said this, he actually raised his hands.
Gege, Gege. The girl smiled coquettishly again and said, "That's pretty much it."
It can be seen that there is a big age difference between Chu Yunfei and this girl, and Xu Dalong is slightly surprised. Chu Yunfei is 30 years old, and this girl is only 20 years old. I wonder what kind of relationship they have?
Chu Yunfei turned around and said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, come on, let me introduce you, this is my sister."
At this point, he saw the confusion in Xu Dalong's eyes and added: "Her name is Chu Yun'er. Although there is a big age gap between us, we are really my biological sisters."
Xu Dalong looked at the girl in front of him and saw that she had a slender figure, bright eyes and white teeth, and she looked very much like a school beauty he once liked.
Xu Dalong's heart moved slightly. He restrained his inner excitement and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Chu."
Chu Yun'er looked at Xu Dalong in front of her, and saw that he was tall and strong, with a good appearance. He was not the kind of handsome man. Except that she was slightly surprised to see him wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, she didn't pay much attention to him.
She nodded towards Xu Dalong and took Chu Yun to fly to the backyard.
Chu Yunfei said to Xu Dalong: "Brother Dalong, please go to the guest room to rest for a while. I will host a banquet for you in the evening." After saying that, he followed the girl into the backyard.
Chu Yunfei's orderly said to Xu Dalong: "Sir, please come with me."
