Xu Dalong did not return to the Mawushan base immediately. He thought carefully and said to the commander and chief of staff: "The Japanese really tried their best to confuse us. Can we use their trick to catch the Japanese unawares?"
The commander said with great interest: "What do you think? Tell me."
Xu Dalong reported his ideas to the two chiefs.
After listening to Xu Dalong's report, the commander said happily: "This is a really good idea, I agree. Let's make a combat plan based on this idea. This time the Taiyue Military Region will fully cooperate with your anti-mopping operations."
After receiving the telegram from the commander, Li Yunlong led a large group of troops from the Mawushan Military Division to leave the base area. There were seven regiments of these troops, including tank troops and a large number of cavalry. They passed through the 32nd garrison division.
The regiment's defense area went to the Taihang Mountain base area.
Naturally, such a huge troop mobilization could not be hidden from the eyes of the Japanese army, and the relevant information was soon reported to the headquarters of the First Army.
Shinozuka Yoshio and the Chief of Staff worked out a plan to steal and replace the old one. They were worried that the Eighth Route Army would not be fooled and had been waiting for news from the Mawushan Base Area. When they learned that the main force of the Mawushan Military Division had left the base area and headed for the Taihang Mountain Base Area
At that time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to launch an attack on the Mawushan base area immediately.
In order to seize the Mawushan base area, Yoshio Shinozuka also risked all his efforts this time. Those who participated in the siege of the Mawushan base area included the Japanese 110th Division, the 109th Division, the 112th Division, the 11th 3rd Division, and the independent
The 11th Brigade, the 32nd Garrison Division, Huang Xiejun's 3rd Division and 4th Division were combined. The total strength exceeded 100,000.
In accordance with the order of the First Army Headquarters, all participating troops implemented radio silence, marched day and night, and rushed towards the Mawu Mountain base area.
Yan Guiwu's Huang Xiejun 4th Division received an order to garrison the 32nd Division. He felt very suddenly. This order was not given by telegram or telephone, but was personally led by the chief of staff of the 32nd garrison Division to the 4th Division.
After conveying the order to the division headquarters, although the chief of staff left, he left behind the division intelligence section chief and an infantry brigade to supervise the actions of the Huang Xiejun 4th Division and prevent anyone within the Huang Xiejun 4th Division from leaking information. The Japanese army was in
Before Huang Xiejun's fourth division set off, they did not disclose their whereabouts.
Yan Guiwu quietly sent a telegram to Xu Dalong through Wang Shuhuai and a hidden radio station, informing him of what had happened.
Zheng Xirong's intelligence brigade had been closely monitoring the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the Japanese army's troop mobilization could not be hidden from their eyes. When the Japanese army began to take action at night, Zheng Xirong quickly sent the intelligence to Xu Dalong.
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.
Xu Dalong reported the intelligence obtained from all aspects to the chief of staff.
The chief of staff said: "Xu Dalong, your judgment is correct. The Japanese really want to cheat us. Unfortunately, they still overestimate their ability to keep secrets and cannot conceal their true combat intentions."
The chief of staff said: "Since the little devil thinks we have fallen into a trap, let's give him a trick. I will go out and notify the commanders of the units participating in the war to come for a meeting."
Soon after, many Eighth Route Army cadres gathered in the conference room. Among them were Ding Wei from the Fifth Division, Kong Jie from the Sixth Military Division, Cheng Xiazi from the Second Military Division, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao from the Mawushan Military Division, and Taiyue Military Division.
Directly subordinate to the senior commander of the Artillery Regiment.
These people turned out to be old comrades in the Fourth Front Army. After meeting, they were very happy and started laughing and joking.
Among these military divisions, Li Yunlong's Mawushan Military Division is the strongest and the richest. The old comrades in arms clamored for Li Yunlong to treat him. Li Yunlong was rich and agreed nonchalantly, saying that he would treat the old comrades to a drink after the meeting.
A pot. He also said that after this battle is over, he will entertain you all again.
Even so, everyone still refused to let Li Yunlong go, and asked Li Yunlong to provide them with some weapons and ammunition, especially the 82mm recoilless rifle and rocket launcher.
In Liang Jian's original work, Li Yunlong is an iron rooster who only takes advantage of others, and others cannot even pluck out a single feather of his.
Now Li Yunlong is rich and generous, not to mention that this time several old comrades brought troops to help the Mawushan Military Division in the war. He also generously agreed to everyone's request, saying that this time he would also
I brought some extra equipment to give to some old comrades.
Everyone was even happier after hearing this, and they all said that they no longer needed Li Yunlong's treat. They took turns inviting Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao.
At this time, Si Ling, the chief of staff and Xu Dalong came in.
All the cadres from each military division stood up, saluted and said hello to Lieutenant General Si Ling and the Chief of Staff.
Officer Si Ling joked with everyone for a while and announced the official start of the meeting. First, the chief of staff introduced the situation of both the enemy and ourselves.
This time, the Japanese army divided into three groups to attack the Mawushan base area. To the west was the Japanese 110th Division, to the northwest were the Japanese 113th Division and the 109th Division, and to the east was the Japanese 32nd Garrison Division.
The Japanese 112th Division was responsible for cutting off the communication between the Mawushan base area and the Shanxi-Sui Army. The 11th independent mixed brigade passed through the defense area of the Huang Xiejun 4th Division and attacked from the northeast.
After introducing the situation, Officer Si Ling announced that this time the anti-mopping operations in the Mawushan base area would be under the unified command of Xu Dalong, requiring the commanders of each military division to obey unconditionally.
Everyone present admired Xu Dalong very much and had a close relationship with him. With Xu Dalong as the commander-in-chief, everyone was sincerely convinced, and they all said that they would resolutely obey Xu Dalong's command.
Xu Dalong saluted Kong Jie and others, expressed his gratitude, and finally told his battle plan.
The combat plan drawn up by Xu Dalong has been communicated with Commander Si Ling and the Chief of Staff, and has been approved by them. After the plan was announced, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others also expressed their approval.
After that, Xu Dalong issued a combat order, asking all ministries to seize the time, make pre-war preparations, and be ready to attack the Japanese army at any time.
After the meeting, Li Yunlong said he wanted to treat him. Everyone followed him to the town, ordered a table full of dishes in a restaurant, and had a hearty meal.
Cheng Xiazi of the Second Army Division is an old comrade in the same class as Li Yunlong. Due to their temperaments and personalities, the two of them originally had a little conflict, but at their level, the little unpleasantness in the past has long been gone.
Take it to heart.
At the wine table, Cheng Xiazi took the initiative to toast Li Yunlong and get closer to him. Li Yunlong knew what he meant, and he wanted to get close to him so that he could gain some leverage with the Mawushan Military Division.
It's no wonder that Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong are closer. In recent years, they have gained more money from the Mawushan Military Division. Both in terms of funding and equipment level, they have surpassed the Second Military Division.
, which made Blind Cheng very envious.
Sure enough, after Cheng Xiazi finished his toast, he said: "Old Li, we are old comrades in the same class. Now that you are rich, you must not forget the friendship we had when we were in the same pot. This weapon and equipment
I still need more help."
Li Yunlong was in a good mood. He waved his hand and said: "No problem. Cheng Xiazi, this time you are helping our Lao Li fight. We Lao Li will never treat you badly. If you want a gun, I will give you a gun. If you want a cannon, I will give you a cannon."
You bitch."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. After Captain Cheng finished laughing, he said seriously: "Old Li, you old comrades have wives now. Your military division has the most female soldiers, so help me, Old Cheng, find one too.
"
Listening to everyone's joking, Lin Xueying's pretty face suddenly appeared in front of Xu Dalong's eyes.
He now likes Lin Xueying more and more. This time he left the base and separated from her for a short time, which actually made Xu Dalong feel a sense of loss.
Kong Jie noticed Xu Dalong's expression and asked: "Brother Dalong, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "It's nothing."
To change the topic, Xu Dalong also said to Commander Cheng: "The regiment leader is right. There are many beautiful female soldiers in the Mawushan Military Division. This time you happen to go to the military division and stay there for a few days. Please ask our Zhao Zhengwei to give you
If you arrange a blind date, you will definitely not be disappointed."
Li Yunlong said jokingly: "Brother Dalong is right. I will send a telegram to Lao Zhao soon and ask him to help you identify them in advance. I will give you a whole company of female soldiers to choose one by one. As long as you, Lao Cheng, don't have any tricks.
I'm sure I can help you solve it."
Facing the large-scale Japanese attack, Xu Dalong still needed the cooperation of the Zhongyang Army and the Jinsui Army. Before the battle started, he sent telegrams to all parties.
Chu Yunfei received the telegram, stood in front of the sand table, and said meritoriously: "This time the Japanese army concentrated its forces to attack Xu Dalong's base area. The Dalong brothers asked us to help them block the Japanese 112th Division. Xu Dalong is our good brother.
We must help the situation. Inform the troops to assemble towards Xinhe County and prepare to repel the Japanese attack."
Fang Ligong and Xu Dalong were also old friends, and he knew that he would never suffer when dealing with Xu Dalong, so he was happy to help. He immediately asked the combat staff to issue orders to various ministries.
The chief of staff of the World War II zone received a telegram from Xu Dalong and agreed that after the battle in the Mawushan base area officially started, the Shanxi-Sui Army would dispatch the 68th Army and the 69th Army to attack the Japanese 113th Division to contain their forces.
After receiving the telegram, Commander Fu agreed to help Xu Dalong despite the difficulty in supplying weapons and ammunition, and decided to dispatch a small number of troops to attack the Japanese 109th Division.
In the Mawushan base area, after Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong, and Zhang Dabiao left, a new command organization was established, consisting of the independent brigade commander Wang Limin, the military division Zheng committee member Zhao Gang, and the independent brigade Zheng committee member Gao Zhiyong. They received a telegram from Xu Dalong and responded to the news.
The various ministries remaining in the base area carried out emergency mobilization to prepare to repel the large-scale attack by the Japanese and puppet troops.
After assigning the mission, Xu Dalong was ready to leave the Taiyue Military Region. He called Li Changshui and bid him farewell.
Li Changshui asked Xu Dalong to wait, and he would go over to see Xu Dalong off immediately.
Soon after, Li Changshui came, and with him came Li Qiulin.
After seeing Xu Dalong, Li Qiulin stepped forward, gave a military salute, and said, "Hello, captain."
Xu Dalong smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to say a few words, Li Qiulin said: "Captain, you are going to fight a big battle soon. Can you take me with you?"
Xu Dalong said: "I don't have any objections, but it depends on whether Minister Li agrees or not?"
Li Qiulin immediately said: "I have asked our Minister Li for instructions, and he agrees. Do you think so, Minister Li?"
This last sentence was meant for Li Changshui. After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Changshui and motioned for him to help him speak.
Li Changshui understood the eagerness of Li Qiulin and others to make meritorious deeds, and also knew that he was willing to fight with Xu Dalong. The special operations team of the Taiyue Military Region was under his own command, and he also hoped that his men could make meritorious deeds.
So Li Changshui said: "Brother Dalong, just take Li Qiulin with you.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Since Minister Li agreed, of course I have no objection. I have an important task, which I originally wanted to leave to Wei Dayong and the others. Since Qiulin is willing to go, then leave this task to him.
You."
Li Qiulin said happily: "Yes, captain, I promise to complete the mission."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "You guy, I haven't told you any tasks yet, but you dare to complete them."
Li Qiulin said with a smile: "Captain, you are a god. Everything you arranged must have been carefully considered. I am just following your orders. There is no way that I can't fail to complete them."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay, you really can talk." After that, he handed over the task to Li Qiulin.
Li Qiulin stood at attention and saluted again, and said solemnly: "Captain, please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission."
An hour later, Li Qiulin led his special forces team to leave the base area of the Taiyue Military Region and arrived at the border between the enemy and ourselves. They put on Japanese military uniforms and headed to the defense area of the 2nd Brigade and 5th Regiment of the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun.
After a long march, Li Qiulin and others arrived at the designated location. Outside a town, he saw a car and a military truck parked on the road, with the blue and white flag of the Yellow Army on the truck.
Seeing Li Qiulin and others, an officer from Huang Xiejun got out of the car. It was Wang Shuhuai, the logistics director of the Fourth Division. He had met Li Qiulin several times before when he went to the Mawushan base area.
After meeting, the two shook hands warmly and exchanged a few words.
Wang Shuhuai said: "Captain Xu sent me a telegram. I have implemented everything I told you and brought you everything."
Li Qiulin nodded and asked the special forces team members to unload their things on the truck, and then asked: "Did you bring the intelligence from the Japanese army?"
Wang Shuhuai took out a military map from the briefcase he carried with him.
