With the experience of the previous stage, each unit fought better and better. In the past, they would retreat after encountering a counterattack by the Japanese army. But now it is different. After they attacked the Japanese army, they saw the Japanese army chasing them, and they retreated and waited for the Japanese army.
After retreating to the road, they returned and continued to attack the Japanese troops.
In this way, the Japanese army was constantly harassed during the march. The Eighth Route Army and the county brigade were like a swarm of wasps, constantly attacking the Japanese army, and there was no peace for a moment.
At this time, Xu Dalong had prepared the battlefield for the final destruction of the Japanese army. According to his request, Wang Siling personally led 12 regiments of troops, together with Monk Wei's special operations brigade, and set up a military base at the junction of Gaoyi and Yuanshi.
ambush.
The Japanese 201st Brigade had never fought such a troublesome battle. The enemy troops kept attacking, which overwhelmed them and they were beaten in a very embarrassed manner. They were not familiar with the terrain and did not know how many Eighth Route Army troops there were in this area. The Japanese army did not know either.
Dare to fight, and while fighting, quickly retreat in the direction of SJZ.
The Japanese army finally entered the ambush circle again. This time, the Eighth Route Army did not withdraw as quickly as last time. Instead, it surrounded the Japanese army and launched attacks continuously, and the two sides fought in a melee.
Monk Wei's special forces brigade brought four 240mm heavy mortars this time, and they kept firing shells at the Japanese army.
In the open plains, the Japanese troops had nowhere to hide, and these few mortars alone caused hundreds of Japanese casualties.
The troops of the Jinan Military Region received a large number of supplements during the SJZ battle, and their equipment level was greatly improved. They also possess a large number of mortars and machine guns.
Under the fierce firepower, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. After continuous battles, the Japanese army was extremely short of ammunition. They were unable to break through the siege of the Eighth Route Army. Instead, they were constantly being compressed.
Seeing the danger of the entire army being wiped out, the Japanese brigade commander quickly called for help from the division headquarters stationed at SJZ.
After receiving the information from the SJZ underground party, Xu Dalong immediately ordered Wei Monk's special operations brigade to leave the battlefield in front of him and go to the SJZ direction, where he would join the local Eighth Route Army to block the Japanese reinforcements moving south from the SJZ.
Seeing that the Japanese 201st Brigade was surrounded, the surrounding Eighth Route Army units rushed over. Soon after, the number of troops surrounding the Japanese army exceeded 20 regiments, and there were many county brigades. The total strength had reached
More than 40,000 people.
After continuous fighting, the Japanese army's 9,200 men when they set out from SJZ are now reduced to less than 4,000, and they are still decreasing rapidly.
Seeing that the time was ripe to encircle and annihilate this Japanese army, Xu Dalong issued orders to all ministries to prepare for a general attack.
All units of the Eighth Route Army seized the time to prepare, and the battlefield became quiet for a while. The artillery was moved to the front, and the commanders and soldiers also installed bayonets on their rifles, waiting to launch the final attack on the Japanese army.
After each unit was ready, they reported their preparation status to the headquarters. Seeing that all the Eighth Route Army and county brigades participating in the attack were ready for battle, Wang Siring issued the order for a general attack.
In order to quickly defeat the Japanese army in front of them, the troops of the Jinan Military Region also spent a lot of money. They first fired a large number of artillery shells at the Japanese army. This kind of firepower was of a scale they had never seen before. Now they also have the confidence.
Because Xu Dalong has promised them that after this battle is over, he will allocate a large number of mortar shells and Type 92 infantry artillery shells from the arsenal of the Mawushan Military Region to the troops of the Jinan Military Region.
Now that they have such a backer, the Eighth Route Army's artillery has become addicted to artillery.
This shelling lasted for more than ten minutes, and thousands of shells were fired. After this round of fierce shelling, the remaining Japanese troops were less than 2,000.
Seeing that the battle to annihilate the Japanese 201st Brigade was coming to an end, the leaders of the Jinan Military Region were very excited. Wang Siling felt that Xu Dalong had played a vital role, so he decided to give this honor to him.
Of course Xu Dalong couldn't take the credit. He wanted to give the honor to the Jinan Military Region. After all, this battle was fought by others, so he still requested Wang Siring to issue the order for the general offensive.
When Wang Siling saw the sincerity on Xu Dalong's face, he stopped being polite and shouted: "The general attack begins."
Following the order for the general attack, hundreds of buglers from various units of the Eighth Route Army blew the charge bugle, and tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers held bright bayonets and shouted loudly to launch the charge.
Fifteen minutes later, the battle was completely over. The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in the Jinan Military Region did not expect that they could actually annihilate an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, which was also a field force. Pride and pride brought their emotions to a peak, and they waved their hands.
Hit the sword and spear and cheer for victory heartily.
The troops of the Japanese 101st Division coming out of the SJZ were blocked by various units of the Eighth Route Army, and they had to pay a heavy price for every step forward. When they learned that the 201st Brigade had been completely destroyed, they returned directly to the SJZ.
This time the encirclement and reinforcement campaign ended successfully. The troops of the Jinan Military Region annihilated more than 11,000 Japanese troops. All troops were trained in actual combat and their combat effectiveness was improved.
Xu Dalong has been in the Jinan Military Region for two months. Seeing that the troops in the Jinan Military Region have grown stronger, he no longer needs to stay, so he resigned from the leaders of the Jinan Military Region.
Xu Dalong only stayed here for two months and brought great changes to the Jinan Military Region. In addition, Xu Dalong was humble and got along very well with the leaders of the Jinan Military Region, so everyone was reluctant to let him leave.
But everyone also knows that people like Xu Dalong still have a lot of things to do, so they are embarrassed to continue to retain them.
The leaders of the Jinan Military Region held a grand farewell party for Xu Dalong and others. At the meeting, Yang Zhengwei took out a money order of 500,000 yuan, of which 300,000 yuan was used to purchase weapons and ammunition, and 200,000 yuan was used as a reward.
Xu Dalong and the special operations brigade.
Xu Dalong could not live up to the kindness of the leaders of the Jinan Military Region, so he readily accepted it. The leaders all felt that it was a great honor, and the atmosphere at the banquet became even more lively.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and others set out on their way back to the Mawu Mountain base.
Xu Dalong returned to the Mawushan Military Division Headquarters. Zhang Dabiao and Wang Limin heard the news and came to greet him. Among the welcoming crowd, Xu Dalong did not see Zhao Gang and was a little confused.
Li Yunlong saw Xu Dalong's expression and said, "Brother Dalong, are you looking for Lao Zhao? Hi, Lao Zhao is injured and is still in the hospital."
"What? Zhao Zhengwei was injured. How is it? Is the injury serious? Is there no danger?" Xu Dalong was startled and asked eagerly.
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao was really in danger this time. The bullet almost hit his heart. Now he is finally rescued, but he still needs to rest for a while."
Xu Dalong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will go to the hospital to see Commissioner Zhao Zheng."
Everyone followed Xu Dalong to the hospital and saw Su Xiaoyan checking Zhao Gang's body.
Seeing Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Captain, why have you been gone for so long? It's really worrying."
Xu Dalong saw that Zhao Gang looked pale and seemed to have lost some weight. It could be seen that his injuries had not healed yet.
Looking at this amiable and respectable elder brother, Xu Dalong's eyes became moist.
He said: "You are too careless. Why did you go to the front line in person?"
Hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao is really unlucky this time. He was attacked by Japanese special elements right in our headquarters."
Xu Dalong frowned and asked: "Who did it? Has anyone been caught?"
After Zhao Gang was injured, his work was temporarily replaced by Gao Zhiyong, and he is now responsible for the security of the base area.
Gao Zhiyong said with some shame: "Captain, I'm sorry. When Zhao Zhengwei was assassinated, it was when the enemy troops were besieging the county. It was so chaotic that no clues were left. So far, the assassin has not been found.
clues."
Xu Dalong said: "Those who can attack the military division headquarters should be the Japanese special elements who have sneaked into us. If we don't get rid of them, we will have no internal peace. We must seize the time to find these Japanese special elements."
In order to comfort Zhao Gang, Xu Dalong originally wanted to say some caring words, but he felt that it was too hollow.
He knew what Zhao Gang liked most now, so he took out the 500,000 yuan exchange bill from his pocket and gave it to Zhao Gang, saying that he brought it back from the Jinan Military Region and now handed it over to Zhao Gang, the general manager of the base area.
.
Sure enough, seeing so much money, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Gang's face.
He said happily: "This time I went to SJZ, what Lao Li and Chief of Staff Zhang brought back was worth more than 1 million oceans. This time you brought back so much, this trip to SJZ was really worth it."
"
Seeing Zhao Gang's face glowing red, Li Yunlong joked: "Brother Dalong still has a solution. It turns out that our old Zhao's injury doesn't require any medicine. Just giving him a big ocean will work better than anything else, hahaha."
Everyone also laughed together.
Xu Dalong asked about Zhao Gang's injury in detail. Su Xiaoyan said that Zhao Gang's injury is no longer serious. As long as he rests peacefully, he will be able to get out of bed and do some simple activities in a month at most.
Xu Dalong told Su Xiaoyan to take good care of Zhao Gang.
He issued an order to Monk Wei, asking him to send a squad of special forces members to replace the people in the military division guard camp and go to the hospital to protect Zhao Gang.
After leaving the hospital, Zhang Dabiao and others held a reception banquet for Xu Dalong.
At the banquet, Xu Dalong told Gao Zhiyong to secretly investigate all personnel who entered the base area after the beginning of this year, and arranged for Zheng Xirong's intelligence brigade to cooperate with him in secret surveillance and investigation.
The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, and the Zhengzhi Department of the Military Division is preparing to hold a cultural performance.
When encountering similar things, Chu Yun'er would take the initiative to come to Xu Dalong. Her duet with Xu Dalong was one of the highlights of the art show.
Hearing Gao Zhiyong talk about the art performance, Xu Dalong then remembered that he had not seen Chu Yun'er this time when he came back.
He asked casually: "What are the people in the Jinsui Army Liaison Group doing now?"
Gao Zhiyong said: "I'm sorry, look at my memory, there is something I forgot to tell you. Leader Chu of the Jinsui Army Liaison Group said that the World War II District Chief had something for her to handle, and she told me
After a while, he went back to Fendong County, but he has not come back until now.
Before she left, she told me to tell you after I saw you."
"That's right." Xu Dalong nodded and said nothing.
Just the day before the Double Ninth Festival, Chu Yunfei suddenly sent a telegram, saying that there was an urgent matter and asked Xu Dalong to go to the headquarters of the 358th Brigade immediately.
Xu Dalong did not hesitate and immediately took Monk Wei and others by car to Xinhe County.
When they arrived at Xinhe County, the guards at the city gate called the 358 brigade headquarters to inform them that Xu Dalong and others had arrived.
Xu Dalong came to the brigade department of the 358th Brigade and saw Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others standing there to greet him.
When he saw Xu Dalong, Chu Yunfei ignored the pleasantries and said directly: "Brother Dalong, something happened. The matter is very serious. Please help me."
Xu Dalong asked with some confusion: "Sir Chu, what happened?"
Chu Yunfei said to the other party, "You should arrange for the other Eighth Route Army brothers to rest first." After that, he and Xu Dalong came to his office.
Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Dalong, something happened to my sister." He told the whole story.
A month ago, news came from Chu Yun'er's college classmates from Chongqing that their teacher was seriously ill and was on his deathbed. Before he died, he wanted to see his favorite disciples, including Chu Yun'er.
It happened that Chu Yunfei's father was going to visit an old friend in Chongqing and had something to ask him to do. However, he was busy with work and could not get away for the time being, so he asked Chu Yun'er to bring gifts and visit his friend on his behalf.
An old friend.
So Chu Yun'er went to Chongqing. If it were in the past, if Chu Yun'er went out, as long as she told Xu Dalong, he would definitely send someone from the special team to escort her.
At that time, Xu Dalong was active in Jinan, so Chu Yunfei sent a reinforced squad from his security camp to escort her.
In order to keep track of Chu Yun'er's whereabouts, they also brought a radio. Chu Yunfei asked them to send a telegram to report that they were safe before 10 o'clock every night.
Chu Yunfei did not receive a telegram from Chu Yun'er and others last night. At that time, he thought it might be inconvenient for them, so he waited another night, but still no news from them.
Chu Yunfei was worried that something might happen to Chu Yun'er, so he sent a telegram to the Mawushan Military Division and asked Xu Dalong to help find Chu Yun'er.
After listening to Chu Yunfei's words, Xu Dalong suddenly became anxious.
Chu Yun'er's charming face appeared in front of his eyes, and he knew that Chu Yun'er was deeply devoted to him. He was afraid that he might have let her down, and he always felt very guilty in his heart. Now that something might have happened to her, Xu Dalong couldn't help but feel anxious.
Xu Dalong didn't waste any time and stood up immediately and came to the map.
When Chu Yunfei saw this, he knew that Xu Dalong was going to help. He felt a little moved and felt a little relieved. He knew that Xu Dalong was a god and as long as he helped, things would be much easier to handle.
He quickly stood up and followed Xu Dalong to the map.
Xu Dalong asked Chu Yun'er in detail about the time of departure, the route he took, etc., and then said: "Brother, I'll set off right away. Prepare some horses for me."
Chu Yunfei didn't say any nonsense about gratitude or hard work, and immediately arranged for someone to send the war horse.
Xu Dalong and Wei Monk led a special operations team and set off along the route Chu Yun'er walked.
