Chapter 633: A broken family is worth a million dollars
Gao Zhiyong has worked in the Mawushan Military Division for many years and has rich experience in establishing base areas. Coupled with the support of his superiors, he sent many local cadres with rich work experience, and great progress has been made in the establishment of base areas. Under his leadership,
Under the auspices of the Communist Party of China, anti-Japanese democratic Zhengquan was established in 12 counties. Anti-Japanese democratic Zhengquan at all levels were also established in vast towns and rural areas. Militia teams, women's rescue societies, and children's leagues were also organized one after another. On this basis,
, each county has established county brigades, and each district has also established district squadrons. The number of basic militiamen alone exceeds 80,000.
Gao Zhiyong has always been responsible for the internal security of the base area in the Mawushan Military Division, and he has also done an excellent job in anti-epidemic and special operations. Whether in towns or villages, people of unknown origin will be subject to interrogation in the base area. Without roads, it is difficult to move, which is greatly restricted.
It suppressed the activities of Japanese and puppet spies, kept the secrets of the Songshan guerrillas, and provided great convenience for the activities of the Songshan guerrillas in the anti-Japanese base area.
Zheng Xirong's intelligence work was also carried out very well. He not only established an intelligence mechanism in the base area, but also developed many intelligence agents in the enemy-occupied areas surrounding the base area, and also mobilized a group of people among the captured puppet troops.
Sneaking behind enemy lines to serve as an intelligence agent. He also established close intelligence ties with underground party organizations outside the customs and continuously provided intelligence support to the Songshan guerrillas.
According to Xu Dalong's request, Gao Zhiyong organized more than 100,000 people to demolish Changcheng. In order to encourage people's enthusiasm, he not only paid wages and provided meals to the people who participated in the demolition of Changcheng, but also told them about the blue bricks removed from Changcheng.
Whoever takes it down belongs to whoever takes it down.
The work of dismantling Changcheng went very smoothly. Originally there were only 15 gaps in Changcheng. Now many of the Changcheng between the gaps have been completely demolished, which greatly facilitates the connection between the Songshan guerrillas and the Second Military Division Base of Jidong Military Region.
connection.
The Kwantung Army was stationed outside the pass and was used as a strategic group. Its main function was to guard against Lao Maozi in the north. The Japanese army built a large number of fortifications close to the border, and airports were mainly located near the northern border. In order to
Being able to carry out air strikes against the Songshan guerrillas, the Japanese army began to build field airports in the Jinzhou area.
After Xu Dalong got the news, he issued an order to the special operations brigade, asking them to prevent the Japanese army from building the airport.
The Japanese Kwantung Army is mobilizing troops and generals in preparation for launching a large-scale attack against the Japanese base areas.
In order to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army, Xu Dalong decided to send special forces deep behind enemy lines to attack the Kwantung Army's strategic targets and create chaos so that they could not calmly deploy their attacks on the guerrillas.
Xu Dalong first chose Fengtian Arsenal, also called Fengtian Ordnance Factory. It was an ordnance factory established by Zhang Zuolin in the mint in 1921. At first, it was mainly responsible for manufacturing bullets or repairing firearms.
Fengtian Arsenal can also assemble and produce its own artillery. The artillery produced includes the Liao-13 75mm field gun imitating the Japanese 38-type field gun, the Liao-13 100mm howitzer imitating the Austrian gun, and the Liao-13 105 artillery imitating the Japanese 38-type 105 cannon.
mm field guns, etc.
The arsenal was very large. Zhang Zuolin purchased 8,000 pieces of equipment from abroad, which could make guns, cannons, bullets, and artillery shells. It had many functions and was known as the "Krupp of the East." At its peak, the Shenyang Arsenal had 36,000 employees.
There are nearly 10,000 machine tools.
The arsenal has special trains to transport supplies. It can produce more than 60,000 rifles and 180 million rounds of bullets annually. It can also manufacture light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, etc. It is the largest arsenal in Asia.
After the September 18th Incident, the main force of the Northeast Army retreated to the northwest, and the Fengtian Arsenal also fell into the hands of the Japanese.
In order to understand the relevant situation, Xu Dalong sent a telegram to the underground party outside the customs. It happened that Comrade Wang in Jinzhou was going to Fengtian. Xu Dalong decided to go out in person, first escorting Comrade Wang to Fengtian, and then carry out the task of attacking the Fengtian Arsenal.
Outside Jinzhou City, Xu Dalong met Comrade Wang. He admired this brave and strong leader of the underground party very much. In order to protect his safety, he suggested that Comrade Wang should not go to Fengtian for the time being and could stay in the anti-Japanese base area to take charge of the overall situation.
Comrade Wang insisted that we should go to the center of Japanese and puppet rule outside the Pass. Only in this way can we better carry out underground work, more conveniently grasp the important intelligence of the Kwantung Army, carry out anti-Japanese work in the core areas of Japanese and puppet rule, and prevent the island countries from further carrying out operations outside the Pass.
Slavery movement.
Xu Dalong deeply agrees with this point. After the islanders occupied the customs, they have been immigrating outside the customs and carrying out cultural movements. They forced Japanese language education and promoted the island lifestyle, which deeply affected the majority of young people. Now it has become ten
Several years have passed, and the island country’s rule outside the customs has become more and more consolidated. If it takes several generations, the harm will be extremely serious. When the island country surrendered in 1945, those areas that had long accepted the island country’s enslavement education, such as Chaoxian
, Taiwan and other places have seen local people unable to accept the fact that the island country surrendered. They cried and cried, and they were more sad than if their own labor sons had died. Long-term cultural education has also formed a large number of Japanese people, who have continued to this day.
It also has a profound influence.
When escorting Comrade Wang to Fengtian this time, Xu Dalong not only brought a special operations unit to escort him, but also specially selected five guerrilla veterans with foreign nationality to follow them. After arriving in Fengtian, these five
The old guerrillas outside the customs will stay with Representative Wang to form the hoeing team of the underground party.
Comrade Wang now admires Xu Dalong more and more. Xu Dalong created such a great anti-Japanese situation outside the customs, launched tens of thousands of anti-Japanese guerrillas, and created a large anti-Japanese base area. These achievements are there. Originally, the two
The little differences that once arose between people have now disappeared.
Xu Dalong personally escorted him to Fengtian, and Comrade Wang was also very grateful.
Xu Dalong and others disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and escorted Comrade Wang to Fengtian City. They accompanied him until they connected with the liaison officer of the underground party organization, and then they felt relieved.
Comrade Wang expressed his gratitude to Xu Dalong and others for escorting them all the way, and told them to pay attention to safety on the way back.
However, Xu Dalong had no intention of saying goodbye and leaving. Instead, he asked the underground party liaison officer about the situation at the Fengtian Arsenal.
Comrade Wang asked Xu Dalong why he wanted to inquire about the military factory. Xu Dalong did not hide anything from him and told him his decision to attack the military factory, create chaos and disrupt the Japanese army's offensive deployment to the Songshan guerrillas.
Comrade Wang was very surprised and immediately expressed his opposition. He said: "Captain Xu, do you know how important you are to the Songshan guerrillas? How can you personally participate in an operation like this? I don't agree with you doing this."
When he said this, he seemed a little excited. Comrade Wang had experienced the ups and downs of the anti-Japanese struggle outside the customs. He knew how difficult it was for the underground anti-Japanese armed forces to create the current situation outside the customs, and Xu Dalong played a role in it.
What a role. Xu Dalong had already taken a huge risk by escorting him here.
After all, this escort mission did not directly conflict with the Japanese and puppet troops, so it was relatively safe. However, if the Fengtian Arsenal, which was heavily defended by the Japanese army, was attacked, the situation would be different.
This was the core area under Japanese and puppet rule. Once something went wrong at the Fengtian Arsenal, the Japanese army would conduct a rigorous search and investigation. Even if Xu Dalong and others disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and fled safely after attacking the arsenal, it would be difficult for them to escape the Japanese army's interrogation.
Once their whereabouts are exposed, the possibility of escaping safely is almost zero.
Xu Dalong smiled slightly and did not refute Comrade Wang's words, but his eyes were full of determination and confidence.
Zhu Guangming, the leader of the Third Squadron who came with Xu Dalong, said: "Comrade Wang, please don't worry, let alone attacking the Japanese arsenal. Even a task that is ten times more dangerous than this will not be difficult for our captain."
Comrade Wang was not familiar with special operations. Based on his experience, he believed that Xu Dalong and the others would be too risky to do so. He still hoped that Xu Dalong would not personally participate in the attack on the arsenal.
Xu Dalong said: "Comrade Wang, don't worry. Although Fengtian Arsenal is a key protected unit of the Kwantung Army, it is the core area of Japanese and puppet rule after all. They think they are very safe, so the security of the arsenal is not as good as
An ordinary stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops. With such a large area as an arsenal, they simply couldn't guard against it.
When we attack the enemy's arsenal, we will not attack it with great fanfare, but quietly in the dead of night. When we came, you must have seen the things that the packhorses carried, and there were time bombs in them. I will take them
If you quietly place it in the core part of the arsenal and then evacuate quietly, there will be no danger."
Comrade Wang saw that Xu Dalong and others persisted, so he said nothing more. He asked the underground party liaison officers to provide help to Xu Dalong and others as much as possible.
Fengtian Arsenal is very large, with tens of thousands of employees working there. The underground party did not expend much effort in finding a veteran guerrilla soldier. After the army was dispersed, he hid his identity and worked in
Became an electrician in the arsenal.
Because of his status as an electrician, he often went to repair lines, so he was familiar with the situation in the arsenal. He promised to provide help to Xu Dalong and others. He asked to rejoin the guerrillas and move his family to the base area.
Xu Dalong understood his feelings. Once something happened in the arsenal, everyone in the arsenal would be subject to strict interrogation. People with special positions like electricians would definitely become the target of key interrogations.
The methods of the Japanese and puppet agents are also very powerful, and it is very likely that flaws will be exposed. At that time, not only will his own life be in danger, but his family will also be implicated.
Xu Dalong agreed to his request, and he drew a layout map of the Fengtian City Arsenal for Xu Dalong, marking the core location of the arsenal.
After formulating an action plan, Xu Dalong first arranged for electrician Wang Cheng and his family to evacuate.
In the evening of the next day, Wang Cheng returned home after get off work. Dinner had been prepared. However, Wang Cheng told his father, wife and children that someone wanted to treat the whole family to dinner, so he took them out and stayed away. After leaving the dormitory of the arsenal, Wang Cheng took them to a restaurant, but he did not take them in. Instead, he got on a freight truck parked in front of the restaurant.
The truck drove along the street and soon left Fengtian City. Wang Cheng's family didn't understand where it was going. Wang Cheng told them that the person entertaining the guests was outside the city. Although they felt a little strange, they didn't say much.
What.
The truck drove for more than an hour at a stretch. The child was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore and shouted for food.
Wang Cheng's father asked: "Cheng'er, where are you taking us?"
Wang Cheng then told them that he would take them out of Fengtian City and to the guerrilla base area. Although his family also wanted to leave the area ruled by the Japanese and puppets, after all, they had lived in Fengtian all year round and it was difficult to leave their homeland. They were worried that they would not be able to live well after leaving.
I couldn't help but complain about why he didn't discuss it with his family in advance.
The special forces team members responsible for escorting them told them that in the anti-Japanese base areas of the underground party, they would not be oppressed by the Japanese and puppets, and they did not have to live in fear. The guerrillas could provide them with housing, arrange jobs, and their children could go to school for free.
Standards can definitely be higher than where they are now.
Wang Cheng's family members were moved after hearing the explanation from the special forces team members.
His wife still complained: "Then you should say hello in advance so that I can pack up the things at home before leaving."
As the saying goes, a broken family is worth a thousand dollars. Although Wang Cheng's family is not rich, they have worked hard to run the family for so many years and still saved some money. His wife, especially, also hid the hard-earned money in the kang hole at home.
12 oceans.
Wang Chengcheng brought them out without saying a word. His wife felt very distressed and shed tears as he spoke.
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "The rags at home are not worth much, just throw them away and we will buy new ones."
Just as his wife was about to scold him, she saw Wang Cheng take out a money order from his pocket, which read: Dayang 500 Yuan.
Wang Cheng's wife and father had seen this kind of money order, and their eyes widened immediately when they saw the numbers on it. Their total family property was less than 150 oceans. With so many oceans at once, there was no need for them.
It hurts again.
At two o'clock in the morning, Xu Dalong, Zhu Guangzhao and others arrived outside the wall of the arsenal. Xu Dalong carried a backpack alone and climbed over the wall into the arsenal. Zhu Guangzhao and others stayed outside to prepare for the response.
Performing such a task was nothing to Xu Dalong. It took him less than an hour to complete the task of planting the time bomb. He left the arsenal safely without alerting the Japanese and puppet personnel, and then returned to the arsenal.
He led Zhu Guangzhao and others to climb out of the city wall of Fengtian City, and immediately embarked on the road back to the Songshan base area.
