Wang Shuhuai and Cui Chengdu felt very embarrassed. If they helped the guerrillas, it would be difficult for the Huang Xiejun Fourth Division, including Yan Guiwu, to escape from the control of the guerrillas.
Wang Shuhuai and Cui Cheng are both smart people. They can't think that far ahead. They need to save their own lives first.
After a long march, Xu Dalong and others arrived at Anyuan Town.
After arriving outside the town, Wang Shuhuai and Cui Chengcheng went into the town to find the battalion commander of Huang Xiejun's garrison.
Soon after, the puppet battalion commander followed Wang Shuhuai and Cui Cheng out.
The puppet battalion commander had been to Mawu Mountain before, when he was the company commander, and had also been a prisoner of the guerrillas.
After meeting Xu Dalong, his attitude was very respectful, saying that he was forced by life, cursed and swore that he was not sincerely working for the Japanese, and that he had never persecuted ordinary people.
Xu Dalong expressed his understanding, encouraged him to maintain the conscience of the Chinese people, and hoped that he could secretly contribute to the anti-Japanese cause. The puppet battalion commanders agreed one by one.
Next, they discussed the operational deployment of attacking the Anyuan Gold Mine.
The next morning, a platoon leader of the puppet army in Anyuan Town led a dozen puppet soldiers and drove several large trucks to the Anyuan Gold Mine.
The defense of the gold mine is still very strict. A blockade ditch was dug around the gold mine. There is a suspension bridge in front of the gate. Next to the suspension bridge is a gun tower. You can see the muzzle of the light machine gun exposed in the shooting hole.
Standing guard at the gate of the gold mine were Japanese soldiers and members of the mine protection team.
The puppet troops drove over in carts, and a small leader of the mine protection team asked: "Platoon Leader Wang, didn't you say you would come to deliver food in three days? Why did you come here today?"
Platoon leader Wang said: "The food arrived yesterday. Our camp has told us to deliver it to you as soon as possible so that you don't have to rush it when it's time."
The young leader of the mine protection team smiled and said: "How can you be so kind? You must be too lazy to store the food in the warehouse, so you just sent it here."
Platoon leader Wang smiled and said: "Captain Li, you really think too much about things that don't happen. Just open the suspension bridge. After delivering the food, I'm going to make a trip to the county seat after I get back."
The small leader of the mine protection team ordered his men to lower the suspension bridge, and Platoon Leader Wang led his puppet soldiers to drive the cart across the suspension bridge and entered the gate.
After entering the gate, Monk Wei led the special forces members disguised as puppet troops to suddenly take action.
Some of them shot and killed the Japanese sentries and mine protection team members at the gate, while others rushed into the watchtower and eliminated the Japanese soldiers in the watchtower. They also took control of several houses at the gate, then set up machine guns and fired towards the inside of the gate.
Carry out shooting.
As the gunfire rang out, the cavalrymen of the Mawushan guerrillas hiding several hundred meters away rushed towards the gate of the gold mine.
The distance of a few hundred meters was reached in an instant for the cavalry, and they quickly rushed from the suspension bridge into the gold mine.
The battle lasted for about 40 minutes. The guerrillas completely annihilated the Japanese and puppet troops, the mine protection team and the puppet police in the gold mine, and rescued more than 300 laborers captured by the Japanese and puppet troops.
After Xu Dalong and others plundered the property in the gold mine, they evacuated with the miners.
After staying away from the gold mine, Xu Dalong simply mobilized the miners. More than 80 miners signed up to join the guerrillas. The remaining miners gave them two oceans each and let them go their separate ways.
The commando quickly evacuated. When passing through a small forest, Xu Dalong and others dismounted and entered the small forest. They saw Wang Shuhuai, Cui Cheng and the battalion commander of the puppet army who were already waiting inside.
Xu Dalong gave 3,000 oceans to the battalion commander of the puppet army, and also rewarded platoon leader Wang with 100 oceans, saying that he would send someone to contact them in the future, and then evacuated.
After returning to the base area, Xu Dalong gave Wang Shuhuai and Cui Cheng 20 kilograms of placer gold and asked them to pass it to Yan Guiwu. Then he gave Wang Shuhuai and Cui Cheng two large yellow croakers and 500 oceans each to express his gratitude to them.
Wang Shuhuai and Cui Chengdu were very happy, thanked them and left.
Lingao City.
After returning to the city, Wang Shuhuai did not go to the office building to see Yan Guiwu. Instead, he quietly came to his dormitory and reported to Yan Guiwu about the Anyuan Gold Mine.
At the beginning, Yan Guiwu was very angry and blamed Wang Shuhuai for not doing this. Once the Japanese knew about this matter, he would lose his head.
He scolded Wang Shuhuai severely, and when he got angry, he couldn't help but kick him twice.
Wang Shuhuai did not dare to say anything, and when Yan Guiwu stopped getting angry, he carefully explained the situation at that time, saying that he had no choice but to cooperate with the guerrillas, and he would probably die on the spot.
Yan Guiwu knew that there was no point in blaming Wang Shuhuai. Now that he had boarded Xu Dalong's pirate ship, it was impossible to get off. He could only hold his nose and admit the matter.
Wang Shuhuai said that Xu Dalong had thought very carefully and not a single Japanese puppet soldier was left alive in the gold mine, so that the puppet soldiers' aid to the guerrillas would not be exposed.
Yan Guiwu felt a little calmer.
When Wang Shuhuai took out the 20 kilograms of alluvial gold, Yan Guiwu's mood improved a little. It seemed that Xu Dalong was a pretty good person and a fastidious person, so he shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.
Yan Guiwu warned Wang Shuhuai and asked him to inform Xu Dalong that he should be more careful in his future work and not to implicate Huang Xiejun's fourth division.
Independent Regiment Department.
Xu Dalong and others seized a lot of money during their trip to the Anyuan Gold Mine, including six gold ingots weighing three kilograms, 32 gold nuggets weighing two kilograms, as well as the alluvial gold given to Yan Guiwu, 23,400 yuan in the ocean, Japanese military stamps,
The big painted face and others are worth about ten thousand yuan, and of course all the weapons and equipment in the mine.
Xu Dalong never kept it all for himself once he had captured it. So he sent part of the seizure to Wang Xiaohu to the Independent Regiment.
In Li Yunlong's room, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao looked at the six heavy three-kilogram gold ingots on the table, and they all felt a little curious.
They had only seen large yellow croaker before, but never such a large gold ingot.
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Huzi, it seems that your little life is quite nourishing."
Wang Xiaohu said: "Captain, in fact, our life is not rich. Nowadays, the guerrilla family has a big business, and now the expenses are a lot. I am now in charge of the guerrilla's finances, and I often have a headache about spending money."
Zhao Gang was a shrewd man, and he smelled something unusual in Wang Xiaohu's words.
He asked: "Wang Xiaohu, how many troops do your guerrillas have now?"
Gu Lei
Xu Dalong and others had agreed on a unified approach in advance and their wealth would not be exposed.
Wang Xiaohu said: "There are not many people, only a few hundred people."
Zhao Gang didn't believe it at all and said: "I heard that your cavalry has several squadrons and special operations squadrons. I'm afraid these people alone are more than a few hundred people. Those infantrymen and county brigades are probably more than what you said."
Several times."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he also said: "Huzi, tell me honestly, how many troops are there?"
Wang Xiaohu was afraid of Li Yunlong, so he said: "Captain, our battalion commander said that the secrets of the guerrillas cannot be told outside."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "You brat, is Lao Zi an outsider? Say it quickly, otherwise, be careful of Lao Zi trying to fix you."
Wang Xiaohu said: "Captain, you forced me to say this. When our captain blames me, you have to speak for me."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? Even if that boy Xu Dalong comes, he has to be honest in front of Lao Zi. Don't worry, just say that if he wants to make things difficult for you, just let him come to me."
Wang Xiaohu said: "Our guerrilla brigade now has an intelligence squadron, a special operations squadron, four cavalry squadrons, a direct squadron, an artillery squadron, a motorcycle squadron, a bicycle squadron, a transportation squadron, and eight infantry squadrons. If we include the newly recruited
There are currently more than 2,600 new recruits.
There are more than a thousand people in the county brigade, and more than two thousand basic militiamen and ordinary militiamen, and all of them have guns.
The current number of villages and towns under the jurisdiction of the Zheng Mansion in Mawushan Central County has grown to nearly 200. There are many surrounding villages and towns, which have become guerrilla zones and have established secret village and town grassroots Zheng Quanhe militia teams.
The guerrillas also built their own coal mines, arsenals, clothing factories and other industries."
After hearing what Wang Xiaohu said, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were all surprised.
Li Yunlong said: "I can't believe that Xu Dalong and the others took away a hundred and ten people at that time. In less than a year, they already had thousands of people, which is much more than Lao Zi's independent group."
Zhang Dabiao said: "Captain, Xu Dalong and his guerrillas have much better weapons and equipment than our regiment. This family fortune has exceeded our regiment's several times."
Zhao Gang said with appreciation: "Wang Xiaohu, you have done a great job in Mawushan. The speed of development is unexpected and deserves recognition."
Wang Xiaohu said: "Our brigade captain said that no matter how strong the Mawushan guerrillas develop, they are still soldiers of our independent regiment."
Li Yunlong said happily: "That's pretty much it. Xu Dalong is a sensible guy."
Wang Xiaohu saw the three regiment leaders happy and said: "Our captain has said that his wealth will not be exposed, and he also hopes that the regiment leaders can keep Ma Wushan's situation a secret."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely keep this secret."
Zhao Gang didn't react for a while and was full of questions, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of Wang Xiaohu.
He said: "Wang Xiaohu, please go down and rest first."
After Wang Xiaohu left, Zhao Gang asked in confusion: "Old Li, Xu Dalong and the others have done such a good job in Mawu Mountain, why do they have to keep it a secret?"
Li Yunlong said with some disdain: "Old Zhao, you don't understand this. Da Biao, come and tell him."
Zhang Dabiao has been following Li Yunlong for a long time, so he certainly knows what Li Yunlong is thinking.
He said: "Commissioner Zheng, there are some things that cannot be said. Our Eighth Route Army troops are expanding very fast, and we need backbones and weapons and equipment everywhere. Xu Dalong and the others have finally managed to get some business. Once reported, the superiors will definitely take action from them.
Some key personnel and troops were transferred there, as well as a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
Now that Xu Dalong and the others are behind enemy lines, their difficulties are much greater than ours. If their troops, weapons and ammunition are transferred away, their lives will be very difficult in the future.
Therefore, Xu Dalong will keep this secret, and we must keep it secret too."
Zhao Gang understood. Although he felt that Xu Dalong and Li Yunlong's approach was a bit selfish, he could also understand Xu Dalong's difficulties.
He said: "I understand. Then let's violate discipline once and keep their secrets."
Zhang Dabiao said: "I admire Xu Dalong and the others more and more. They have so many people and strong combat effectiveness. Now they are just a deputy regiment-level unit. If they report their strength, their positions will definitely be promoted, but they don't
It’s really valuable to value these things.”
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "I like this guy Xu Dalong more and more now. This guy really has a temper towards me, and his thoughts and actions are the same as mine."
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "I'm sorry to say that Xu Dalong also learned bad things like you because of his bad habits."
Li Yunlong didn't care and laughed proudly.
Zhao Gang suddenly remembered and said: "Last time, the superiors organized a visiting group to visit the Mawu Mountain guerrillas. If the visiting group went, wouldn't their family background be exposed?"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he became anxious and said: "Old Zhao, this is not possible. Aren't you the leader of the visiting group designated by your superiors? Take some of the gold sent by Xu Dalong and others and give it to the brigade commander.
If the brigade commander wants to mention the visiting group again, find a way to push it away."
Zhao Gang was in a bit of a dilemma. He was a decent man. He could keep secrets, but it would be difficult for him to lie in front of the brigade commander.
He hesitated and said nothing.
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, as a cultural person like you, you are good at everything, but there are some things that you can't lose face. Just leave this matter alone and let Zhang Dabiao handle it."
Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Commander, don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Zhang Dabiao brought four gold ingots weighing three kilograms to the brigade commander and said that they were seized by Xu Dalong and others.
He told the brigade commander in Xu Dalong's tone that the Japanese were very angry because they had robbed the Japanese gold mines and would soon send a large group of troops to encircle and suppress the Mawushan base area, so they would not send out visiting groups for the time being.
The brigade commander agreed and asked Zhang Dabiao to tell Xu Dalong after he returned to strengthen his vigilance and be ready to repel the enemy's attack at any time, and report any difficulties in a timely manner.
Regarding the fact that the Japanese army would mobilize troops to encircle and suppress the Mawushan base area because the Anyuan gold mine was robbed, Zhang Dabiao said it smoothly, but he did not expect that he would be right.
The last time the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, agreed with Chiba Xunichi's battle plan to attack the Mawushan guerrillas, he added 3,000 recruits to the 32nd garrison division, and also specially transferred the 215th Brigade of the 108th Division of the Japanese Army
An infantry regiment and the cavalry regiment of the First Army cooperated with Chiba Xunyi in the battle. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with the military list sending new recruits. As a result, the battle plan to attack the Mawushan base area was shelved.
During this period of time, the Eighth Route Army often launched offensives against the Japanese and puppet troops. Yoshio Shinozuka's troops were stretched thin, and he could not take care of Chiba Xunichi's request for the time being.
This time Xu Dalong and others destroyed the Anyuan gold mine, which completely angered Yoshio Shinozuka, so he decided to mobilize the army to wipe out the Mawushan guerrillas.
