In order to rush outside the customs as quickly as possible, Xu Dalong and others took a Japanese military truck. They carried several sets of military vehicle license plates prepared in advance, as well as ID documents of Japanese troops in different regions. They kept changing license plates and documents on the road, and successfully
Passed the inspection by the Japanese and puppet troops along the way.
After a long march, they arrived at the base area of the Second Military Division of the Jidong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and received warm hospitality from the leaders of the military division.
Xiang Donglai, commander of the Second Military Division of the Jidong Military Region, is dark, lean and lean, with a southern accent that even Xu Dalong found difficult to hear.
Commissioner Zheng Li Jihuan is a handsome young man with fair skin and a good speaking ability. He also studied at Kangda University and was a classmate with Zhao Gang. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they had met when they were at Kangda University.
Although they have never met Xu Dalong, he is famous and they often hear news about Xu Dalong. Out of respect for Xu Dalong, they were very enthusiastic and specially organized the main leaders of the military division to come to the Commander-in-Chief.
A welcoming ceremony was held in front of the ministry compound.
The leaders of the Second Army Division had long heard that Xu Dalong was very young, but when they saw that Xu Dalong was indeed younger than them, they were still secretly surprised. They did not understand how such a young Xu Dalong had established so many achievements.
He achieved such a great reputation with his outstanding military exploits.
Everyone looked at Xu Dalong with curious eyes, as well as the equally famous special forces team that came with Xu Dalong.
At this time, the special operations team members had already changed back into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. Each of them was carrying a huge backpack, which looked very heavy. Each of them had a sniper rifle with a scope and a shell gun slung across his body.
Ordinary Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers hang grenades on their waists, while special operations team members basically hang their grenades on their shoulders, as well as special military daggers and other equipment on their waists. On their feet, they all wear Japanese-style suede leather shoes.
The team members also carried rocket launchers, 82mm recoilless rifles and a large number of light machine guns.
These equipment made the officers and soldiers of the Second Army Division very excited. They looked at the special operations team members. Their bodies were very strong and their muscle lines were very clear. These special operations members had experienced many battles and were very skilled in combat.
Invincible and intimidating momentum. This unique temperament alone can distinguish them from ordinary troops.
Xu Dalong shook hands with Xiang Donglai, Li Jihuan and others cordially and said hello. Everyone chatted and laughed before arriving at the conference room of the military division headquarters.
Xiang Donglai was not good at talking, so he said a few words casually, and Li Jihuan delivered a warm welcome speech, and then invited Xu Dalong to speak.
Xu Dalong had done his homework before coming. He enthusiastically praised the leaders of the Second Army Division for fighting bravely against the Japanese invaders under difficult circumstances and establishing base areas in areas with serious enemy conditions.
Xu Dalong's humble and sincere attitude won the favor of the leaders of the Second Military Division.
Xu Dalong knew very well that verbal communication alone could not quickly bring the relationship closer, so he had to do something practical to show his sincerity.
He took out an exchange bill worth 20,000 yuan and gave it to the leaders of the Second Military Division. He also gave the four extra rocket launchers and some rocket launchers as gifts to the leaders of the Second Military Division.
The atmosphere was completely heated up now. The leaders of the military division were all smiling. The smiles came from the bottom of their hearts and were very sincere.
The leaders of the Second Army Division had received instructions from their superiors in advance. They did not know what special mission Xu Dalong and others were going to carry out outside the customs, but they said they would fully cooperate.
After attending the welcome banquet held by the Second Army Division, Xu Dalong asked for a guide who was familiar with the situation outside the customs.
Xiang Donglai, Li Jihuan and others promised that they would select the most elite soldiers to cooperate with the actions of Xu Dalong and others, and agreed to send troops to escort them to Chang Cheng's feet on the edge of the base area.
Xu Dalong and others rested one night in the Second Military Division. They set out early the next morning, and the leaders of the military division came to see them off.
They kept their word, and in accordance with Xu Dalong's request, they sent six Eighth Route Army soldiers who came from outside the customs as guides. Each of these soldiers was very capable, with a minimum of two years of military service and rich combat experience.
Not only that, they also specially sent a reconnaissance staff officer named Ma Shaodong. He is twenty-two or three years old, smart and capable, speaks Northeastern dialect, and can speak fluent Japanese. He is an excellent reconnaissance staff officer. Military Division
The leaders told them to cooperate with the actions of Xu Dalong and others.
With Shanhaiguan as the boundary, outside the pass is the Japanese Kwantung Army, and inside the pass is the North China Front Army. The relationship between the two Japanese armies is not very good. Both sides must conduct strict checks on people and vehicles entering and leaving Shanhaiguan. If Xu Dalong and others want to ride in military vehicles
If you sneak out of Shanhaiguan, there is a great risk of exposure.
Xu Dalong and his party had no choice but to abandon the military trucks and prepare to cross Changcheng on foot and enter the Northeast region.
Under the leadership of Ma Shaodong and others, Xu Dalong and the special forces members moved forward and saw the majestic Changcheng lying on the ridge in front of them from a distance.
Ma Shaodong did not take Xu Dalong and others directly to the Great Wall, but walked westward along a mountain road.
Xu Dalong asked with some confusion: "Why don't we just go over the routine?"
Ma Shaodong said: "Let's go 20 miles west from here. The Changcheng there is in disrepair and has collapsed. You can exit from there."
Monk Wei said: "No need to go to so much trouble. Let's just go over to Changcheng in front."
Ma Shaodong looked at the special forces members and saw that they were carrying so many weapons and ammunition. Then he looked at Chang Cheng towering on the mountain and asked doubtfully: "How can we get through this?"
Monk Wei said firmly: "It's very simple, just turn over."
Although Ma Shaodong and the guides still had some doubts in their hearts, they still followed Monk Wei's command and led the special forces team to the feet of Chang Cheng.
The Changcheng here is more than two feet high, and the terrain is very dangerous. They are all built on mountain ridges. From the bottom of the mountain, they look extremely tall. It is very difficult for ordinary people to climb over.
However, this was not a problem for the special operations team members. They found a relatively gentle hillside and soon reached the bottom of Chang Cheng.
A special operations team member threw a flying claw at Chang Cheng and climbed up very quickly. He was on top to assist the special operations members below. Soon, most of the special operations members climbed up.
The remaining special operations team members tied up the 82mm recoilless rifle and ammunition boxes with ropes, and also pulled them up with ropes.
The movements of the special forces team members were clean and neat, without any sloppiness, which greatly impressed Ma Shaodong and the guides he brought with him.
Next it was the turn of Ma Shaodong and others, which made them feel a little embarrassed. Climbing with a rope is a technical job. It is not something you can do only if you have strength. It requires repeated training to master. Otherwise, people will get stuck on the rope.
It's so wobbly that you can't keep your balance. Not only that, but the climbers also need to have strong arm strength. Some people seem to be full of strength, but when they really climb with ropes, their arms are sore and it's very difficult.
Support your body.
Seeing the clumsy movements of Ma Shaodong and others, the special forces members came to help, tied ropes around their waists, and quickly pulled them up.
It was early summer, and although the temperature was still low, it was already green everywhere. Xu Dalong was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside the pass, so he asked Ma Shaodong to introduce the terrain of this area.
Soon after, everyone got off the regular route and continued marching. They disguised themselves as Japanese troops and traveled a long distance to the outside of Jinzhou City.
According to the radio station contact information provided by their superiors, Xu Dalong and others sent a telegram to the underground party organization hidden in Jinzhou City. After the telegram was sent, they did not receive a reply for a long time, so they could only continue to use the radio station to communicate.
As a result, there was still no reply. Seeing that the radio station could not be contacted, Xu Dalong decided to go to the city in person to contact the underground party contact person.
Xu Dalong, Ma Shaodong, and Zhu Guangming led the special forces members to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers, and took the identity certificates of the Kwantung Army troops prepared for them by Wang Jinke, and sneaked into Jinzhou City very easily.
Xu Dalong noticed that at the gate of the city, in addition to the Japanese and puppet troops standing guard normally, there were also secret agents in plainclothes. They did not check the people entering the city, but paid special attention to the people leaving the city.
Ma Shaodong had been to Jinzhou City before, so he led the way to the meeting point.
This is a barber shop.
Xu Dalong and others were not clear about the situation and did not dare to go in rashly. They observed carefully nearby.
The business of the barber shop didn't look very good. Not a single customer came in or out for a long time. Xu Dalong and others didn't find anything suspicious.
They observed for several hours, during which they only saw two or three customers, and could not see anything suspicious. However, Xu Dalong still did not dare to rush in and wait until the barber shop closed.
He saw a middle-aged man about 40 years old in the shop, who looked like the owner of a barber shop, and a young man. They closed the door together, locked the door, and left separately.
Xu Dalong and others spread out, separated by twenty or thirty meters, and took turns following the middle-aged man.
The man was walking casually on the street without any signs of suspicion. He met a few acquaintances on the way. He stopped and chatted with them for a few words, then bought some vegetables at a vegetable stall, continued walking, and finally came to
A small courtyard, walked in.
Xu Dalong and others followed along and found nothing suspicious. They still did not rush in, but continued to observe the surroundings carefully.
Late at night, Xu Dalong and others quietly came to the small courtyard where the middle-aged man entered.
Seeing no one around him, Zhu Guangzhi climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
"Dong dong dong," Zhu Guangzhao tapped the glass window rhythmically with his fingers. Soon after, a vigilant voice came from inside: "Who is outside?"
Zhu Guangzhao said softly: "Second uncle, I am your cousin Li Jinfa."
Someone inside said: "You have found the wrong person. My nephew's name is not Li Jinfa."
Zhu Guangming said: "My original name was Li Ergou, and I changed my name to Li Jinfa last year."
The connector code was matched, and a rustling sound came from inside. The lights were not turned on in the room. Soon after, the door creaked open, and it was the middle-aged man who appeared at the door.
He looked around warily, then stepped aside to let Zhu Guangming enter the room.
Soon after, the gate of the courtyard also opened. Zhu Guangzhao poked his head out and waved to Xu Dalong, who also entered the courtyard.
The situation was quickly clarified. The underground party in Jinzhou City only had one radio station, and it was malfunctioning and needed to be replaced for repairs.
Now the Japanese and puppet troops in the city already know that important figures from the underground party are in Jinzhou City. Their inspections are very strict, and the underground party does not dare to buy these spare parts to avoid attracting the attention of the Japanese and puppets.
As for the comrade in charge, he was hiding in another contact point of the underground party. There were traitors of the underground party in the city. He knew the person in charge and had a photo of the person in charge. Xu Dalong and others saw those who were guarding the city gate.
Plainclothes agents were specifically stationed at the city gate to search for the comrade in charge.
Xu Dalong asked to be taken to see the person in charge, saying that he had a way to escort the person in charge out of the city safely.
On the afternoon of the next day, under the arrangement of the Jinzhou underground party, I met the person in charge. The person in charge was named Wang. He was thin, wore a pair of glasses, and was as polite as a teacher.
When he heard that the person who came to meet him was Xu Dalong, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He said: "Comrade Xu Dalong, I have heard about your reputation for a long time. Even outside the customs, I have heard many stories about you. It is really like thunder. When I see you today, you are indeed a tiger general."
Mr. Wang had lost contact with the underground party in Guan for many years. He was inevitably a little excited and expressed a lot of emotion. He hoped to leave Jinzhou as soon as possible and go to northern Shaanxi to report on the work outside the Guan.
There is a traitor who knows the person in charge named Wang. It is obviously impossible to leave the city through the city gate. Of course, this cannot stop Xu Dalong and others at all.
That night, Xu Dalong and others escorted the person in charge over the city wall and left Jinzhou City.
After leaving the city, Mr. Wang also put on a Japanese military uniform and mingled with the special operations team members. He passed the checkpoints set up by the Japanese and puppet troops smoothly along the way. Gradually, he could see the majestic Chang Cheng on the mountain ridge.
After they left the road, they entered the mountains and crossed the regular route.
While everyone was on their way, gunshots and sporadic explosions suddenly came from the front. Xu Dalong and others immediately took cover.
Soon after, the scouts sent word that they had discovered a guerrilla group of about twenty or thirty people, which was being besieged by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops were quite large, about seventy or eighty people. The guerrillas had been surrounded on a hill and were in critical condition.
