Then Wei Dayong bought some gifts, came to Xu Dalong's house, and asked Lin Xueying if she had anything to say or something to send to Xu Dalong.
Lin Xueying was very disappointed when she heard that Xu Dalong would not be able to come back for the time being. However, she knew that her husband had important things to do, and she could only express her understanding.
Lin Xueying couldn't see Xu Dalong, so she had long wanted to entrust someone to give him the things she had prepared. When she heard that Wei Dayong was going to meet her husband, she took out the things.
Wei Dayong scratched his head after reading this, because there were so many things. If there were no vehicles to transport them, at least three special operations team members would be needed to carry them. He understood Lin Xueying's mood and was willing to help. He would do it at all costs.
Help her bring these things to Xu Dalong.
Lin Xueying asked Wei Dayong to protect the safety of her husband. Not only did she say so much, she also wrote a handwritten letter to Wei Dayong and asked him to bring it to Xu Dalong.
Lin Xueying's mother complained to Wei Dayong. Wei Dayong said that he would personally hand over these things to Xu Dalong, and then Lin Xueying and her daughter let him leave.
Wei Dayong returned home and cooked a meal for his wife. When his wife heard that he was about to leave for Malaysia and would not be able to come back in a short time, her eyes were filled with tears and she was reluctant to leave and told him to pay attention to his own safety.
Wei Dayong gave all the special forces members who were about to go on the expedition a day off to let them deal with their personal matters.
Then they took a transport plane and transferred to Zhongtiao Mountain, northern Shaanxi, Chongqing, Kunming, and then flew to Yangon. From Yangon, they set off to join Xu Dalong and others.
The area where the guerrilla detachment is located is the first security area designated by the Japanese army. Since the area where the guerrillas operate is relatively close to Kuala Lumpur, it poses a huge threat to the Japanese and puppet rule in Malaysia. The guerrilla detachment suddenly develops and grows, which makes the Japanese garrison very worried.
Shock.
After receiving the reports from Takakura and Tanaka, the commander of the Kawamoto Division decided to take advantage of the opportunity when Xu Dalong and others were not yet stable, and immediately sent heavy troops to carry out encirclement and suppression, killing the development of the guerrilla detachment in the cradle. He sent a telegram to Takakura, requesting
He and Tanaka cooperated with Colonel Watanabe, the captain of the 19th Regiment in charge of security in the First Public Security District, and sent troops to destroy the guerrillas. It would be best to capture Xu Dalong and Mr. Chen.
After receiving the telegram, Takakura and Tanaka immediately drove to Zhencheng to meet with Colonel Watanabe, the commander of the 19th Regiment.
Takakura and Tanaka respectively represented the Japanese Fifteenth Army Headquarters and the secret service stationed in Malaysia. Although their rank was not higher than that of Watanabe Regiment Commander, Watanabe also had the battalion commanders under him and other major officers in the Regiment.
They all gathered together and held a meeting to welcome Gao Cang and Tanaka.
After meeting Takakura and Tanaka, Watanabe did not take them to the conference room, but first invited them to come to his office alone. He had something to say.
After closing the office door, Captain Watanabe asked nervously: "Takakura-kun, Tanaka-kun, are you sure that Xu Dalong is in the Maiba Town area?"
Seeing Watanabe's nervous look, Gao Cang remembered something. He asked with some surprise: "Watanabe-kun, are you familiar with this Xu Dalong? Oh, I remembered, is the Fifth Division related to Xu Dalong?
The troops fought against each other?”
"Yes, that's true. My troops once dealt with Xu Dalong. The scene at that time left a deep impression on me." He recounted his experience of dealing with Xu Dalong.
That happened a few years ago. At that time, the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division attacked the Mawushan base area. Xu Dalong commanded the anti-Japanese army and civilians to annihilate the 21st Brigade. The Watanabe Regiment, as a unit attached to the 21st Brigade, also almost completely annihilated the 21st Brigade.
The army was destroyed.
At that time, Watanabe was still a captain. At the beginning of the battle, he looked down on the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas, because the Japanese army far surpassed them in terms of equipment and training. Although the Eighth Route Army and the guerrillas fought very tenaciously, Watanabe
Bian had absolute confidence at that time and could easily win.
The outcome of the battle was far beyond Watanabe's expectations. After a fierce battle, the Japanese army not only failed to take advantage, but suffered heavy losses. The captain of his regiment was killed, and more than half of his infantry brigade was also lost.
In this battle, Xu Dalong's superb military command left a very deep impression on him.
Watanabe had heard about Xu Dalong many times before. At that time, he thought it was mainly bluff propaganda of the Eighth Route Army. But after fighting Xu Dalong, he truly understood how powerful Xu Dalong really was. Of course, he also had a lot of influence in that battle.
of harvest.
Thanks to Xu Dalong, the captain of his regiment was killed. It was he who took the initiative to act as the acting regiment leader at the critical moment, gathered up the remaining defeated generals, and withdrew from the battlefield in time, which prevented the entire army of their regiment from being destroyed.
As a result, Watanabe was promoted to acting co-captain. After half a year of testing, he finally officially became co-captain.
When Watanabe talked about Xu Dalong, he unabashedly admitted that Xu Dalong was an amazing and brilliant military general. You have to be extra careful when dealing with him.
Gao Cang and Tanaka were also dealing with Xu Dalong during this period. Xu Dalong only had a thirty-man special operations team, but Gao Cang and Tanaka were exhausted. The frustration they accumulated during this period was greater than in their entire lives.
All the frustrations I encountered were even more.
Seeing that Watanabe did not hide his respect for Xu Dalong, the two could only nod helplessly, expressing their agreement with Watanabe's opinion.
Watanabe was also a staunch militarist. After expressing his feelings for Xu Dalong, he straightened his back and said firmly: "Although Xu Dalong is powerful, this is our territory and he only has a few dozen men."
A small army of guerrillas, even with some guerrillas, can't make a big splash. This time he bumps into our hands, we will give him a lesson, hoping to make him come back.
No return.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When it came to the last sentence, Watanabe still seemed a little lack of confidence. He did not say that he must keep Xu Dalong in Malaysia, but said that he hoped to be able to do so
At this point, Watanabe knows very well that it may not be a problem to drive Xu Dalong away with his large number of troops, but it may not be that simple to catch or kill Xu Dalong. You know, how many arrogant guys in the Japanese army want to
Xu Dalong's life was basically killed by Xu Dalong in the end, so Watanabe had to leave some room when speaking.
Gao Cang was infected by Watanabe's emotions. He also said in a firm tone: "Watanabe-kun, you are right. Now is the best time to get rid of Xu Dalong. This time we must cooperate sincerely and strive to keep Xu Dalong."
in Malaysia."
After the three chatted for a while, they went to the conference room, met with the officers above the captain of the 19th Wing, and then went to have dinner together.
After the banquet, Gao Cang had something on his mind, so instead of going to rest, he invited Tanaka to Watanabe's office.
Gao Cang said: "Watanabe-kun, I see that you look confident. Do you already have a plan in mind on how to deal with Xu Dalong?"
Watanabe said: "I have a basic idea, but it is not mature enough yet. I think Xu Dalong is currently mixed with that guerrilla group, and it is very difficult for us to deal with him. Therefore, if we want to deal with Xu Dalong, we must first defeat that guerrilla group.
Xu Dalong and others were unfamiliar with the area. Without the support of the local guerrillas, their ability to move would be greatly restricted.
The guerrillas are familiar with the local terrain, and it is not easy to deal with them due to popular sentiment. If we launch an attack rashly and use Xu Dalong's superb guerrilla tactics, we may suffer heavy losses."
After hearing Watanabe talking so much and not getting to the point, Gao Cang said with some dissatisfaction: "Watanabe-kun, what do you want to say? Please say it directly."
Watanabe said: "To defeat the guerrillas, it is difficult to rely solely on ground attacks. In this battle, I hope to get support from the air force. I do not have the ability to do this. You are from a higher-level organization, and your status is relatively high."
I am taller and have wider connections than I do, so I would like to ask you to be responsible for coordinating, mobilizing the air force, and supporting my wing in fighting the guerrillas."
Hearing this, Gao Cang frowned. Although he agreed with Captain Watanabe, it would be very easy to defeat the guerrillas with the support of the air force. The air force could not only directly support the operations of the ground forces, but also
It can provide aerial reconnaissance and keep track of the movements of large guerrilla forces at any time. Therefore, Gao Cang also hopes that the Air Force can participate in the war.
However, Takakura knew that the big guys in the Japanese Air Force were not easy to talk to. At least Takakura did not have the face to be able to invite the Air Force guys to join the war. To achieve this goal, I am afraid that the only way to achieve this goal is to go directly to Yamashita Tomofumi and ask him to coordinate the Air Force.
.
Gao Cang knew that this matter was difficult to handle. He asked Watanabe to write a convincing and detailed report, which he would submit to Yamashita Fengfumi. He would do his best to persuade Yamashita Fengfumi to achieve Watanabe's goal.
.
After leaving Watanabe's office, Tanaka said with some concern: "Takakura-kun, after all, the Watanabe Regiment is a unit of the Fifth Division, and they are requesting the Air Force to cooperate with them in combat. Should this matter be reported to the commander of the Kawamoto Division first?
Wouldn't it be more convenient if he could come forward to apply to Commander Yamashita?"
Tanaka clearly lacked confidence when he said this. He was just a small super high school section chief of the Japanese military special high school system stationed in Malaysia, and he had no words to speak to Yamashita Fengfumi. As for applying for help from the Air Force, it could only be done by senior high school students.
Cang went to Yamashita Fengwen to request. However, if this matter went beyond the commander of the Kawamoto Division, although it was to help Watanabe, he could not guarantee whether it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the commander of the Kawamoto Division.
In any era, anyone who engages in intelligence work is a human being. Tanaka's words are also very reasonable to Takakura. After all, there must be a suitable reason to apply for the Air Force to dispatch operations. The dignified Fifth Division is like this
The veteran division, which ranks high among the Japanese army, has to deal with a small guerrilla force of several hundred people, and has to dispatch the air force. This does have a face problem. It is really difficult to say whether the commander of the Kawamoto division is willing to do so.
Gao Cang nodded and said to Tanaka: "In that case, the two of us should go to Kuala Lumpur first and report to the commander of the Kawamoto Division in person."
Tanaka did not refuse and agreed to go to Kuala Lumpur with Gao Cang.
When the Japanese army was dispatching troops and generals, Xu Dalong was not idle. In addition to sending a telegram to Li Yunlong and others to ask Monk Wei to come over, he also sent a message to the British Governor-General in Myanmar stationed in Yangon City, the 38th Yuanzheng Army
Division, Long Yingyuan's Second Division of the Yunnan Army all sent telegrams, hoping that they could send troops to launch an offensive against the Japanese troops stationed in Malaysia. He did not ask them to go deep into Malaysia, but only made an offensive posture on the border to contain them.
The strength of the Japanese army.
Xu Dalong promised that he would bear all the costs of sending troops this time, whether it was the British Army, the Yuanzheng Army or the Yunnan Army.
The British in Myanmar and the Yuanzheng Army all received help from Xu Dalong. Long Yingyuan of the Yunnan Army had a close relationship with Xu Dalong, and Xu Dalong had this reputation.
What's more, Xu Dalong also agreed that he would bear the cost of sending troops, and everyone was happy to be a favor. They agreed to Xu Dalong's request, and the British army dispatched two infantry regiments of the Huang Family Army, and the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army dispatched a reinforcement
regiment, responsible for containing the Japanese troops on the Burmese-Malaysian border; Long Yingyuan's Yunnan Army only dispatched a reinforced battalion.
It’s not that Long Yingyuan doesn’t give Xu Dalong face, but that Xu Dalong’s requirements are a bit high. This reinforcement battalion is not just following the British and Yuanzheng Army troops to the border of Myanmar and Malaysia, as simple as showing off, but
Go deep into Malaysia to meet up with Xu Dalong and accept his direct command.
The reason why Xu Dalong mobilized the special forces and the Yunnan Army troops to accept his command was not just to repel the counterattack of the Japanese and puppet troops. He had far-reaching ideas. He wanted to occupy a major position in the future coalition forces.
In order to promote the next grand idea.
After Wei Dayong brought a special operations squadron to Yangon City, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he waited there for the reinforcement battalion of the Yunnan Army Long Yingyuan. He wanted to escort them to join Xu Dalong.
After arriving in Yangon City, Wei Dayong visited the British Governor's Palace and the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army in the name of Xu Dalong, and obtained a batch of anti-aircraft weapons and some ammunition from them. When the Second Division of the Yunnan Army was strengthened,
After the battalion arrived, they entered Malaysia via the Thai-Malaysian border.
After learning that Wei Dayong and others had entered Thailand, Li Qiulin sent Wang Jin to the Thai-Malaysian border to meet Wei Dayong.
Chen Asong volunteered to serve as a guide. He very much hoped to do more things for the special operations team. In the future, the special operations team would see his meritorious service and allow him to join the special operations team.
Wang Jin also liked this enthusiastic and cheerful little fat man very much, and gave him a compass and a first-aid kit.
