Lin Xueying stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, introduced herself to her home, and said, "Hello, Commander, Lin Xueying, director of the Confidential Office of the Mawushan Guerrilla Force, would like to send you her regards."
General Fu nodded and said, "What a beautiful girl. Captain Xu, your guerrillas are really full of talents."
Xu Dalong, Lin Xueying and Wei Monk followed General Fu and others to the conference room. After everyone chatted for a while, a general asked: "Captain Xu, how many people are there in your Mawushan guerrillas?"
The most important thing for the Guo Army is strength. If your strength is too small, people will look down on you. In the minds of these Guo Army generals, the equipment and training of the Eighth Route Army are very backward. In their minds, they all use the word "local" to describe it.
, let alone the guerrillas. In their perception, the guerrillas are a group of rabble-rousers armed with spears and broadswords and wearing various costumes.
Although they saw that the special forces led by Monk Wei were well-equipped, they also thought that Xu Dalong temporarily brought their best weapons to these people to show off, and they might even distribute them to various units after returning.
When the general asked the question, the other officers had expressions of understanding on their faces, wanting to see the embarrassment of Xu Dalong and others.
Xu Dalong didn't care what others thought. He came to cooperate with General Fu in attacking the Japanese airport. He didn't want to expose his own strength. There was no point in letting these people know.
Therefore, he said calmly: "Sir, we are just an ordinary guerrilla group and cannot be compared with your department."
Hearing this, the general and the officers all had proud smiles on their faces.
The general said: "It is indeed not easy for you guerrillas. Cooperate with us this time and perform well. We will give you some weapons and ammunition to reward you."
When he said this, he and the officers laughed.
In the minds of these generals, the guerrillas seem to be beggars. They are rich and powerful, and if they reward the guerrillas with some weapons and ammunition, the guerrillas will definitely serve them desperately.
Xu Dalong still smiled lightly, with a very calm expression.
Lin Xueying knew what these generals were thinking, and she also understood Xu Dalong's personality. She was not a showy person, so she didn't show any signs of being looked down upon.
When Monk Wei saw these guys looking down on others, he had an angry expression on his face, and he clenched his fists quietly, with the veins on the back of his hands exposed.
General Fu saw the expressions on his men's faces and knew what they were thinking.
When he invited Xu Dalong this time, he not only wanted Xu Dalong to help capture the Japanese airport, but also hoped that Xu Dalong could teach his subordinates their experience in fighting Japan. If these guys look down on Xu Dalong from the bottom of their hearts, they will not accept Xu Dalong in their hearts.
, General Fu’s purpose of imparting combat experience and improving the tactical level of his subordinates through Xu Dalong could not be achieved.
Regarding the situation of the Mawushan guerrillas, General Fu had done his homework in advance and learned in great detail from the Chief of Staff of the World War II Zone.
Li Kun knew the situation of Xu Dalong's unit in great detail, and of course he would truthfully report it to the Chief of Staff. Therefore, General Fu knew the true situation of the Mawushan guerrillas.
In order to attract the attention of his subordinates to Xu Dalong, General Fu said: "Everyone, you don't know anything about the Dalong brothers' Mawushan guerrillas. Their guerrillas are not the ordinary guerrillas you think of.
Brother Dalong's guerrillas have thousands of troops, including infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The cavalry alone is nearly 2,000.
The number of artillery is more than that of our army. Not only that, they also have tank troops that our army does not have. They are also equipped with a large number of cars, and their strength far exceeds that of our army.
In addition, Brother Dalong also has thousands of local armed forces, and the equipment of these local armed forces is no less than that of our national army."
Hearing General Fu say this, the generals of the Guo army were all shocked and couldn't help but whisper.
They really could not have imagined that the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, who they regarded as shabby, could be so powerful.
General Fu continued: "The most rare thing is that the weapons and equipment of the guerrillas were not distributed to them by their superiors, but were captured by the Dalong brothers from the Japanese.
You may not have imagined that Brother Dalong only brought a hundred and ten people to Mawu Mountain last spring. In this year, they independently fought against more than one division of Japanese troops and wiped out less than ten thousand Japanese troops.
Above the human level, relying on the capture from the Japanese army, we have rapidly developed to where we are today. Such abilities even put me to shame."
The officers were stunned. After a moment of silence, they spontaneously burst into warm applause.
The general said: "Captain Xu, you are really amazing. What is your rank in the Eighth Route Army?"
Xu Dalong said calmly: "Deputy regiment level."
Xu Dalong's answer aroused everyone's discussion. The general asked in disbelief: "With such a large strength, it is more than a division, how can it be a deputy regiment level? Your superiors are so unfair."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "In our Eighth Route Army, we value equality between officers and soldiers. It doesn't matter what rank you are in, as long as you can fight the Japanese."
The chief of staff of the Zhongtiao Mountain Command knew that he could not continue talking about this topic, otherwise it would be very embarrassing.
So, he smoothed things over and said: "Captain Xu is dedicated to resisting Japan, which is great."
Everyone was very curious about the Mawushan guerrillas and asked various questions. Xu Dalong answered them one by one without being humble or overbearing.
When talking about his achievements in fighting the Japanese army, Xu Dalong did not exaggerate at all, and even deliberately reduced some in order to protect the face of the Guo army generals.
Despite this, the astonishing achievements of the Mawushan guerrillas made these fruit army generals feel a little ashamed.
General Fu was not embarrassed at all. He praised sincerely: "Captain Xu, the combat effectiveness of your Mawushan guerrillas is really amazing. I have a heartfelt request. I hope you can combine your battle examples and teach them to our officers."
Your combat experience."
Xu Dalong agreed humbly.
General Fu and others held a grand reception banquet for Xu Dalong and others. Xu Dalong's amazing drinking capacity, sincere and humble attitude towards others and his bold personality also left a good impression on everyone.
General Fu's drinking capacity was astonishing, and he didn't feel drunk at all even after drinking so much wine.
After the banquet, General Fu was in high spirits and asked, "Brother Dalong, why don't you go to my place and have some more drinks? Let's talk while drinking."
Xu Dalong liked General Fu's bold character very much and said happily: "Of course, I just want to listen to the general's teachings."
General Fu and Xu Dalong had a long chat. The two chatted very enthusiastically until the sky turned white, and the conversation ended.
Xu Dalong stayed in General Fu's dormitory.
General Fu's adjutant and the guards all found it strange, because such a scene had never happened before. It seemed that Captain Xu was really proud of himself.
After breakfast, since Xu Dalong was still waiting for information about the Japanese airport from Taiyuan, the formulation of the battle plan could only be postponed.
General Fu decided to use this time to have Xu Dalong teach his officers the experience of the guerrillas in fighting the Japanese army.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, officers at regiment level and above within the Zhongtiao Mountain General Headquarters and the surrounding garrisons gathered in the small auditorium of the headquarters to listen to Xu Dalong's lecture.
Xu Dalong did not give a dry theory first, but directly explained the tactics used by the Mawushan guerrillas through actual combat examples.
Xu Dalong said: "On April 25 last year, our department received an order from our superiors and was ordered to intercept the reinforcements of a Japanese infantry brigade coming out of Ping'an County. At that time, our department only had more than 70 people."
Hearing this, the audience murmured. You must know that the combat effectiveness of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is astonishing. The Guo army has the strength of a regiment, and even a division cannot withstand it.
Everyone didn't understand how seventy people could complete the blocking mission.
Xu Dalong explained in detail how they used cavalry troops and sparrow battles to attack the Japanese army. In the end, they not only delayed the Japanese army from going for reinforcements, but also ate more than 500 Japanese soldiers, causing the Japanese army to flee in confusion.
The officers' blood boiled with excitement and they burst into warm applause.
Xu Dalong gave an example of how to eliminate the Japanese cavalry brigade. When he talked about how he sneaked into the Japanese camp, burned the horse materials, angered the Japanese army, and lured the Japanese to pursue them. On the way, he used Croton's horse materials, turning the Japanese cavalry into
The officers laughed loudly at the process of finally wiping out all the infantry.
Xu Dalong then told many examples of guerrillas fighting against the Japanese army.
The officers all found it refreshing. They had never imagined that the war could be fought like this. They admired Xu Dalong so much that they fell into admiration.
The officers now respect Xu Dalong very much. A regimental commander raised his hand and said: "Sir Xu, I heard that you captured the Japanese tanks and armored vehicles and formed your own tank force. Can you tell us how you fought in the first place?
Did you drop Japanese armor?"
The officers had all suffered from the Japanese armored forces in the war against Japan and were very interested in this issue.
Xu Dalong narrated the entire battle process, from how he showed weakness from the beginning to lure the Japanese troops into the hilly areas, how he used anti-tank cones to trap the Japanese armored troops, and how he used explosives to stun the Japanese troops in tanks and armored vehicles.
.During this he concealed the flying thunder cannon.
When Xu Dalong described how they modified the machine guns on tanks and armored vehicles, and then used armored forces to cooperate with the 358th Brigade to capture two county towns, the officers once again burst into warm applause.
The officers kept asking various questions, and Xu Dalong gave them satisfactory answers.
The officers began to respect Xu Dalong more and more, and all of them changed their names to "Sir Xu".
Xu Dalong's lecture was so wonderful that the officers couldn't get enough of it. They hoped to continue to listen to his lectures.
General Fu sought Xu Dalong's advice and arranged for Xu Dalong to explain the strategies and tactics of the war against Japan to the officers for three days in a row.
In order to allow more officers to hear Xu Dalong's lectures, General Fu ordered all units within 50km around the headquarters to send senior officers to attend the lectures.
Li Zhendong, the deputy commander of the newly established 137th Division, also came to listen to the class with several regimental commanders and deputy regimental commanders.
In order to enhance the officers' intuitive impression, Wei Monk's special operations squadron also conducted tactical drills, which was an eye-opener for the officers.
Li Zhendong admired the strategies and tactics explained by Xu Dalong. Li Zhendong also admired the combat effectiveness of the special operations squadron led by Wei Monk.
He is an upright, passionate man who respects heroes the most. Out of his admiration and appreciation for Xu Dalong and Monk Wei, he had the idea of making friends with them.
That afternoon, after Xu Dalong finished his class, he returned to his residence with Monk Wei and others, and Li Zhendong followed him.
Although Li Zhendong was an upright person, he had been in the officialdom for many years. He and Xu Dalong were not familiar with each other, so it would be awkward to get close to them directly.
After chatting for a while, Li Zhendong couldn't find any other topics for a while, so he talked about martial arts, intending to draw closer the relationship between the two parties starting from their common hobbies.
He said to Wei Dayong: "Little brother, you are very skilled. Old brother, I admire you very much. But we still have a fight to go, how about we compete again?"
The last few battles that Monk Wei had with Li Zhendong's men didn't feel satisfying, especially since he and Li Zhendong had already put up a good fight last time and failed to fight. His heart was itching all the time, so he laughed and said: "Since Chief Li gave me face, then
Let’s discuss and learn from each other.”
Having said this, he turned his attention to Xu Dalong again and asked for Xu Dalong's opinion.
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "It is a good thing to make friends with martial arts. I also want to broaden my horizons."
Everyone did as they were told and came to the courtyard of the reception area.
Li Zhendong and Monk Wei took off their military uniforms, wore white shirts, and started competing.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action. Monk Wei originally thought that Li Zhendong could not have any high martial arts. After the two sides fought, he discovered that Li Zhendong was really a master.
Not only that, he also learned Shaolin martial arts. The two of them fought for dozens of rounds, but there was still no winner.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Dalong suggested that they pause and find an opportunity to fight again.
Li Zhendong knew that he could not defeat Monk Wei, so he accepted Xu Dalong's suggestion and everyone sat down to drink tea together.
Monk Wei was very interested in the Shaolin Kungfu learned by Li Zhendong and asked about his origins.
So Li Zhendong talked about his master, who was actually a brother to Monk Wei's master. The more the two chatted, the more they talked, and the atmosphere became warm.
Seeing that after the conversation, the two of them became happier and happier, so Li Zhendong took Monk Wei to the street to drink.
In a tavern, Li Zhendong talked about Shaolin martial arts. He was quite proud. He was the number one master in their division. In the entire Zhongtiao Mountain Guo Army, no one could rival him in terms of martial arts alone.
Li Zhendong now directly calls Monk Wei Junior Brother. He said: "Junior Brother, with your Kung Fu, I'm afraid no one in the Eighth Route Army can be your opponent, right?"
