Chu Yunfei came to Xu Dalong's guest room and said to him: "I just received a telegram from the military headquarters, saying that the Japanese army has plans to attack our army, and the 358th regiment is about to leave. There is something I want to trouble you about.
.”
Xu Dalong said: "Sir, please speak."
Chu Yunfei said: "I want to send my sister back to Qiulin Town. I am worried about her safety along the way. Brother, can you please escort her back?"
Xu Dalong said without hesitation: "Since sir, you can trust me, I will leave this matter to me. Please rest assured, sir, I will escort Miss Chu to Qiulin Town safely."
After Chu Yunfei left, Xu Dalong suddenly remembered something. He asked everyone to prepare to set off. He himself came to the regiment command post and asked to see Chu Yunfei.
He said: "Sir, I am not familiar with Qiulin Town and the terrain in this area. Can you give me a military map?"
Chu Yunfei said: "No problem." After that, he asked his adjutant Sun Ming to find a military map of this area.
While waiting for Sun Ming, Xu Dalong looked at the combat map hanging on the wall and clearly saw the situation between the enemy and ourselves marked on it.
Sun Ming came and handed the map to Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong saw that this was a 1:100,000 military map. It was printed quite clearly and the content marked on it was relatively detailed. You must know that the entire independent regiment only has one 1:500,000 map, so it can only
Mark the approximate location, which is much worse than this map.
For Xu Dalong, this is a big gain.
Xu Dalong saluted Chu Yunfei, said goodbye and left.
Xu Dalong deliberately asked for military maps because he wanted to understand the dynamics of the Jinsui Army and the Japanese Army.
Although the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army are friendly forces, there are many situations where the Jinsui Army does not report to the Eighth Route Army. Based on his historical memory and the map of the situation between us and the enemy he just saw, Xu Dalong suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, and he immediately wrote
Wrote a letter to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Xu Dalong called the third squad leader Zhu Xiaoshan and asked him to lead two soldiers to return the captured weapons, ammunition and 15 horses to the independent regiment.
Xu Dalong handed the letter to Li Yunlong, together with the letters written by Huang Wanqiu's parents and Wang Xinmin, to Zhu Xiaoshan, asking him to hand them over to Li Yunlong, Huang Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyan respectively when he returned.
Later, 17 people including Xu Dalong, Zheng Xirong and Wei Monk, each riding a horse and bringing six more horses, carrying mortars, light machine guns, shells and bullets as well as food and other supplies, escorted Chu Yun'er back to Qiulin Town. Followed
Traveling with them were two of Chu Yunfei's orderlies.
Yucheng. Division Headquarters of the Japanese 110th Division.
The division commander, Konichi Fujiwara, is 48 years old and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his handsome face. He graduated from the Akita Army Military Academy in Japan and later studied at Tokyo Imperial University in Japan. He has served as squadron leader, group leader, and wing leader.
Brigade commander, division chief of staff, and division commander. He had participated in the Russo-Japanese War and was an experienced general with a calm, smart, and wise personality.
Fujiwara Konichi's high status in the Japanese army lies not only in his high position but also in his background.
The Fujiwara family was a Japanese aristocrat during the Tang Dynasty in China, and later became a major family in Japan. It still occupies an important position in Japan's military, political, and business circles.
He also has a special identity, he is the uncle of Tian Huang in Japan today.
At this moment, he was talking to a handsome Japanese army major.
This Japanese major did not stand respectfully in front of the division commander like ordinary junior officers when meeting him. Instead, he sat on the sofa side by side with Fujiwara Konichi, which is enough to show their close relationship.
The name of this Japanese major is Ken Fujiwara. He is 26 years old and is the nephew of Fujiwara Konichi. He is currently the combat staff officer of the 108th Division Combat Section.
Fujiwara Konichi said kindly: "Jiro, you must be more careful when you lead the advance team deep behind enemy lines this time. If you are discovered by the enemy before reaching the target, you can end this mission."
Jiro is Fujiwara Ken's nickname. He said: "Uncle, thank you for your concern. I will definitely complete this mission." After saying that, he stood up and saluted Fujiwara Konichi.
Fujiwara Konichi also stood up, patted him on the shoulder lovingly, and said, "I'm waiting for the news of your victory." After saying that, he personally sent Fujiwara Ken out to review the members of Masuko's advancing team.
Downstairs, stood 160 Japanese officers and soldiers. These officers and soldiers were all elite soldiers selected from the direct teams of the 108th Division. They had an average of more than three years of military service and had participated in more than five battles.
After being transferred out, they have gone through two months of training and have now become a very powerful force.
Fujiwara Ken will lead this unit to perform a secret mission.
Fujiwara Konichi personally delivered a brief speech to these soldiers, encouraging them to serve the Japanese Empire and to be loyal to Tian Huang Bixia.
The members of Masuko's advance team were personally inspected by His Excellency the division commander. They were all in high spirits and shouted loudly: "Japan's Yellow Army is on the board, Tian Huangbi is on the board."
Twelve hours later, an advancing team left the Japanese-occupied area and entered the area controlled by the Jinsui Army. They first entered Xiaogushan, avoiding the surveillance of the Jinsui Army's forward posts and bypassing the Jinsui Army's
The garrison continued along the hilly area connecting Xiaogushan and penetrated Qiulin Town.
Qiulin Town was originally a small town. Later, during World War II, the district governor's office and the Shanxi King's administrative agencies moved here.
Therefore, it is densely populated and very prosperous, and its scale has already exceeded that of an ordinary county town.
Just as Masuko was advancing to Qiulin Town, Xu Dalong and others were escorting Chu Yun'er to Qiulin Town.
Zhaojiayu Independent Regiment Residence.
Zhu Xiaoshan and others drove their horses back to the Independent Regiment. They first went to the regiment headquarters and handed Xu Dalong's letter to Li Yunlong.
Under Zhao Gang's supervision, Li Yunlong has now begun to study culture, but he still couldn't understand Xu Dalong's letter, so he handed the letter to Zhao Gang.
After Zhao Gang finished reading Xu Dalong's letter, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to bring the map of the World War II area, and the three of them studied it carefully.
Li Yunlong said: "The information provided by Xu Dalong is very important. Since Yan Laoxi has given up the territory, we might as well get involved."
Zhao Gang said with some worry: "Although those areas are about to be occupied by the Japanese, they are the defense areas of the Shanxi-Sui Army after all. Will we cause friction in the past?"
Zhang Dabiao said: "Those guys from the Jinsui Army are nothing. They can't hold on and are occupied by the Japanese. Let's go over and fight the Japanese. Is there anything wrong?"
Li Yunlong said: "Well said. Wasn't the place where we are now also the place of the Jinsui Army? Since they have no ability to defend it and have been occupied by the little devils, let's fight off the little devils and occupy these places, and then
