When attacking Yangquan, the Japanese army would receive reinforcements from the 112th Division, which Xu Dalong certainly considered.
He sent a telegram to General Fu in Zhongtiao Mountain, asking them to launch an attack on the Japanese 112th Division. He would be rewarded heavily afterwards.
General Fu's friendship with Xu Dalong was beyond words. Even if he didn't give money, he would send troops for reinforcements without hesitation. Moreover, he believed that after the battle, Xu Dalong's thank you gift would be very generous.
So General Fu agreed without hesitation and sent the 30th Army and the 63rd Army, the main forces, to attack the Japanese 112th Division.
Chu Yunfei and Xu Dalong have always had a close relationship, and he is also very clear about the affairs between Xu Dalong and Chu Yun'er. Although the relationship between the two has not been made public, Chu Yunfei understands in his heart what Xu Dalong did for Chu Yun'er.
, and was also recognized by Chu Yunfei.
He had already regarded Xu Dalong as his brother-in-law. The defense area of Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade also bordered the Japanese 112th Division. Chu Yunfei also dispatched three regiments to attack the Japanese 112th Division.
That night, Ma Zhenyu, Xu Dalong and others were leading the main force of the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column to Yangquan. However, they received a telegram from Li Yunlong, saying that the Japanese 110th Division had abandoned Yangquan and fled to the Japanese 112th Division.
The regiment's defense area.
It turned out that just in the evening, the Japanese 110th Division suddenly launched an attack on the Eighth Route Army outside the city. However, Li Yunlong did not have enough troops to encircle Yangquan City. Although based on his experience, he had judged that the Japanese 110th Division was
The division may break out.
However, under the attack of the Japanese army, he was too late to mobilize his troops to intercept. When he mobilized his troops and eliminated a reinforced group of Japanese troops who came to attack, the main force of the Japanese army had already left Yangquan City.
Li Yunlong hurriedly mobilized the rapid mobile detachment to intercept.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese 110th Division, which was familiar with the terrain, sent an infantry brigade to occupy the pass first, blocking the way of the rapid mobile detachment. The main force of the Japanese 110th Division quickly evacuated.
Sun Desheng commanded the cavalry brigade and took a detour to intercept the Japanese army. As a result, he was intercepted by the first section of the Japanese 112th Division, which came to respond.
Soon after, the Japanese 110th Division and 112th Division's response troops merged.
Although the cavalry brigade harassed the Japanese army, their strength was insufficient. Since it was night, the flying brigade of the military division could not be used, and the Japanese 110th Division was finally released.
The Yangquan Battle launched by Li Yunlong ended up only consuming one infantry brigade of the Japanese army, and did not achieve the expected campaign effect. Fortunately, Yangquan City was captured without any bloodshed, and more than 3 million Japanese and puppet assets were seized.
The Eighth Route Army successively captured Datong and Yangquan. In the entire northwest Shanxi region, the Japanese army only left the Yunzhong area controlled by the 112th Division. In order to retain this last controlled area, the Japanese army also left the 110th Division.
here.
Up to now, most of the area in northwestern Shanxi is under the control of the anti-Japanese armed forces. The Eighth Route Army troops occupy most of the area. The Guo Army in Zhongtiao Mountain and the Shanxi-Sui Army troops each occupy about one-eighth of the area.
The region, northwestern Shanxi, was basically recovered. In the whole country, it was the greatest result achieved in recovering lost territory.
The forces represented by the Eighth Route Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and Guo Army were widely publicized, and many cities in the rear held parades to celebrate the victory. The Zhongyang Daily also published a special article saying that the Guo Army units in northwestern Shanxi were paying homage to the Japanese army.
A counterattack was launched.
This attack launched by the Mawushan District Division and the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column did not originally have a strong purpose. It was just to obtain some money. Unexpectedly, it achieved such significant results. The troops of the Mawushan Military District
It was integrated with the base area of the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column and became a very large base area.
Since there was no longer the main force of the Japanese army in this area, the Daqingshan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column simply occupied Datong and moved its headquarters there. Yangquan City was naturally controlled by Ma Wushan's troops, which showed that the Eighth Route Army was not only able to defeat the heavily defended Japanese army
city, and has been able to occupy it for a long time.
Among the areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army in the past, the largest towns were county towns. Now that Yangquan and Datong have been occupied, a new topic has been brought to the Eighth Route Army, that is, urban management.
Northern Shaanxi attaches great importance to this and sent a working group to the Mawushan Military Division. Based on this working group, two working groups were formed and entered Yangquan and Datong respectively.
Xu Dalong did not want to get involved in these matters, so he only sent Gao Zhiyong to cooperate with the work of the working group.
After taking control of Yangquan, Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade took the opportunity to control two more counties, bringing the 358th Brigade's defense area to seven counties. The 358th Brigade was finally expanded into the 358th Division, and Chu Yunfei was promoted to Lieutenant General of the 358th Division.
.
After the battle, Xu Dalong sent someone to give General Fu 600,000 yuan and aerial bombs worth 400,000 yuan, in return for the favor of the Zhongtiao Shanguo Army for helping this time.
The military reunification action team led by Lin Zhongmin has been living in the guest house of the Mawushan Military Division during this period. Xu Dalong was busy fighting and could not take care of them for a while.
Accompanied by Lin Xueying, they visited the base area established by the Mawushan Military Division.
Since the Eighth Route Army occupied Wancheng County, this area has basically not been devastated by war. Over the years, all aspects of development have made great progress. Wancheng County has developed from a small county with a population of more than 30,000 to
A city with an urban population of more than 200,000 is very prosperous.
Lin Xueying was very proud to have a husband like Xu Dalong. When she said that Xu Dalong came here with a small guerrilla force of less than a hundred people and finally created such a big situation, her pride was beyond words.
.
Lin Xueying used to be a member of the military command. Only a few people knew about this, including Lin Zhongmin. He was very envious of Lin Xueying, and he once had the idea of leaving the military command. Unfortunately, he did not have as much face as Xu Dalong, so he could only do this in his life.
A road has come to an end.
On this day, Xu Dalong finally finished his work. Accompanied by Lin Xueying, he hosted a banquet in honor of Lin Zhongmin and others.
After drinking for three rounds, the topic naturally turned to the mission of Lin Zhongmin and others to come to Shanxi this time.
It is now absolutely certain that the military commander Wang Yaohui, the leader of the military commander working group, has betrayed the military commander, causing the Taiyuan working group to be basically wiped out. Lin Zhongmin and others are here to eliminate Wang Yaohui, the traitor.
Lin Zhongmin and the others basically knew nothing about the situation in Taiyuan City. They had no foundation. It would be too difficult to complete this mission, so they hoped that Xu Dalong could help.
Xu Dalong was also almost tricked by Wang Yaohui. If he had not sensed the danger at that time and moved out before the Japanese army encircled him, he would probably have been killed by the Japanese army. Xu Dalong was also very angry about this, even without the request of the military commander.
, he was also determined to eradicate Wang Yaohui, the traitor. So he agreed.
Lin Zhongmin knew very well that Xu Dalong not only had a powerful special operations brigade, but also had his own intelligence network in Taiyuan City. He could get intelligence support from the underground party intelligence station and the Jinsui Army intelligence station. It was not a simple matter to eradicate the traitor Wang Yaohui.
Difficult things, for which he was full of confidence.
Xu Dalong sent telegrams to Zhou Mingde, the Taiyuan Underground Party Intelligence Station and the Jinsui Army Intelligence Station, asking them to provide relevant information about Wang Yaohui.
Soon after, news about Wang Yaohui came through. Wang Yaohui once served as an instructor in the Lushan Special Training Class of the Military Command. The Japanese army wanted to use his strengths to set up a spy school to train special agents for the underground party and military commanders.
, Wang Yaohui is currently planning to build this special agent school.
Xu Dalong no longer needed to take action personally for such a task as eradicating the enemy. He handed over the task to Zhu Guangzhao's Third Squadron, and he led the special operations detachment and followed the military commander to Taiyuan.
Zhu Guangzhao was a very excellent special operations commander. After arriving in Taiyuan, it only took him a week to find where Wang Yaohui was hiding. Not only did he kill him on the spot, he also destroyed the spy school that the Japanese army had just built, and wiped out
16 key personnel of the Japanese Army's Secret Service School. The Japanese Army's attempt to organize a Secret Service School will be impossible to realize in a short period of time.
Lin Zhongmin was very happy when he heard the news. The only shortcoming was that he could not capture Wang Yaohui alive. He also sympathized with Zhu Guangzhi and others. After all, they were in Taiyuan City, and it was very difficult to bring people out alive. Being able to get rid of the traitors would
Even if the task is completed.
Zhu Guangming and others acted very safely. After getting rid of Wang Yaohui, they even took photos of him. When they returned to the base area, they handed the developed photos to Lin Zhongmin and asked him to take them back to resume their duties.
Xu Dalong also looked at the photo of Wang Yaohui's body. At this time, Wang Yaohui's facial expression looked a little ferocious.
Xu Dalong couldn't help feeling a little emotional. He remembered that he and Wang Yaohui fought side by side, and the two sides formed a good friendship. Wang Yaohui also provided a lot of convenience in Lin Xueying's matter. Unfortunately, Wang Yaohui eventually rebelled. Former friends
Add comrades, and eventually have to face each other with swords and guns.
Lin Zhongmin completed his mission and was ready to return to Chongqing to resume his duties. He said that the military commander would definitely thank Xu Dalong and asked him what he wanted?
Xu Dalong hoped that the military command would provide a batch of special agent equipment. Lin Zhongmin agreed and said that he would report to his boss when he went back and would send someone to deliver it.
After Lin Zhongmin left, Zhao Gang came to see Xu Dalong.
He said: "Captain, don't be nervous. I have no intention of urging you to go out again. The oceans you have captured in these operations are enough to sustain us for a long time. You can have a good rest at the base."
I came to see you because I just wanted to invite you home for a meal."
Xu Dalong asked curiously: "Wei Zhao, I remember that this seems to be the first time you have invited me to your home for dinner. Tell me, what are you holding back?"
Zhao Gangde said excitedly: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father too."
Xu Dalong was very happy and said with a smile: "This is really good news! We should celebrate it."
In the evening of that day, Zhao Gang held a family dinner without any publicity. The only people invited were Xu Dalong, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao. They were all old comrades in the original independent regiment, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.
Everyone talked about those days when everyone was single and the situation in the Independent Regiment was also very difficult at that time. They worked hard and got to where they are today step by step. Not only did the team achieve great development, but they also all got married.
Now that Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao have children, and Zhao Gang is about to become a father, everyone is urging Xu Dalong to work harder and not to hold back the independent group.
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong became energetic and introduced his life experience to Xu Dalong, saying that as long as Xu Dalong followed his method, he would definitely be able to have a son.
Zhang Dabiao was not convinced, because he also had a son, so he started arguing with Li Yunlong.
Zhao Gang doesn't know if his son is a son now. He also wants to express some opinions, but he is still not qualified. He can only watch Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong showing off. Xu Dalong can only smile helplessly.
Li Yunlong and other gentlemen were in one room, and their wives also set up a table in another room. The men spoke loudly, and Lin Xueying's face turned red.
Seeing the happy faces of the three women, she felt a little envious, and began to hope that she could be pregnant with Xu Dalong's child.
Over the years, Xu Dalong has always been away fighting. He felt very indebted to Lin Xueying. During this time, he planned to stay in the base area and enjoy the warmth of family.
Unfortunately, his life was not so good. After only half a month of peaceful life, the headquarters of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region sent another telegram, asking Xu Dalong to go to the Taihang Mountain base area and report to the headquarters.
Arriving at the headquarters, the commander personally assigned tasks to Xu Dalong.
The commander said: "Xu Dalong, this time I plan to send you to perform a special mission outside the customs. This task was personally assigned by the old leader. We have lost contact with the underground party outside the customs in northern Shaanxi for several years, and we finally made contact not long ago.
, the leader of the underground party outside the customs is going to report work in northern Shaanxi. But he is now trapped outside the customs. Although he has not been exposed, it is very difficult to enter the customs. The old leader asked you to personally escort this responsible comrade to the customs by name.
Northern Shaanxi.”
Xu Dalong was well aware of the importance of the area outside the Pass to the underground party after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. He was originally thinking of suggesting to the commander that the underground party should send troops to enter the area outside the Pass in advance to make arrangements in order to quickly control this important area in Northeast China after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
industrial base.
However, due to the loss of contact between northern Shaanxi and the underground party outside the Guan, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the movement into the outside of the Guan was still a little slow, and the foundation was not solid enough. Therefore, it took a long time and paid a huge price to finally reach the outside of the Guan.
Controlled the outside world.
Xu Dalong also wanted to take this opportunity to put forward his own suggestions. He readily agreed to carry out the escort mission.
Soon after, Xu Dalong and Wei Monk, together with Zhu Guangzhao's Third Special Forces Squadron, left the Mawushan base and headed outside the Pass. (End of this chapter)
