A general said somewhat sourly: "Commander Li, you and Captain Xu attacked Taiyuan Airport this time and seized so many tanks, armored vehicles and other large quantities of supplies. You only brought back this little, Captain Xu."
They seem to be a bit dishonest."
Li Zhendong was already very satisfied with his harvest this time. He admired Xu Dalong very much. When he heard someone criticizing Xu Dalong like this, he said unhappily: "What are you talking about? Chief Xu and the others are helping us fight the Japanese army at the airport.
How many casualties can we reduce the casualties of our brothers? Besides, those equipment and supplies were seized by others and were obtained by the guerrilla brothers with their lives. Isn’t it right for them to take them back?"
General Fu was very grateful to Xu Dalong and the others for destroying the Japanese airport. He also said unhappily: "Such words that are not conducive to unity are not allowed to be said again in the future."
Seeing that General Fu was about to get angry, the Chief of Staff quickly calmed things down. He changed the topic and said, "Captain Xu and the others have made such great contributions. We can't bury their contributions. How do you think we should reward them?"
General Fu felt much better when he mentioned this.
He said: "Brothers Dalong risked their lives to fight the Japanese airport for us. We must accept this kindness. I think we will report it to the Chongqing Equal Affairs Committee and the Second War Zone Chief's Department to punish Xu Dalong and his
The Mawushan guerrillas issued a general commendation order and applied for bonuses for them.
As for the amount of rewards that the Chongqing Municipal Committee and the World War II District Governor's Office can give, we cannot decide, but we ourselves must express our gratitude to them. We will make arrangements to award 50,000 oceans from our Zhongtiao Mountain Command to the Mawushan Guerrillas.
, and give another 20,000 yuan as a reward to Brother Dalong personally."
Seeing such a scene, the general who questioned Xu Dalong just now felt a little embarrassed.
He said: "Captain Xu and the others destroyed the Japanese airport, which was a great kindness to our officers and soldiers in Zhongtiao Mountain. I take back what I just said. In order to express my feelings, I am personally willing to give 3,000 oceans as a reward.
Captain Xu’s thanks.”
After he took the lead, other generals also expressed their willingness to personally use part of their money to reward Xu Dalong.
General Fu was also infected by this atmosphere. He smiled and said: "That's right. A person must repay kindness. I personally also gave 10,000 yuan to Brother Dalong."
General Fu expressed his stance, and those who had not expressed their stance also hurriedly expressed their attitude.
The chief of staff made statistics and found that the generals at the Zhongtiao Mountain Command collected a total of 43,000 yuan and sent people to the Mawu Mountain base to give it to Xu Dalong.
Soon after, rewards from the Equalization Committee and the World War II District Governor's Department were distributed to Xu Dalong, Li Zhendong and others.
The Chongqing Municipal Committee awarded Li Zhendong the fourth-class Yunhui Medal, awarding him 20,000 French currency. All members of the Guojun Commando were awarded 50,000 French currency. The World War II District Governor's Department awarded Li Zhendong 10,000 French currency and the Guojun Commando 20,000 French currency.
.
This time, the Equal Affairs Committee awarded Xu Dalong the fourth-class Yunhui Medal with a legal currency of 10,000 yuan. The World War II District Governor's Department commended Xu Dalong and his guerrillas and rewarded him with a legal currency of 10,000 yuan.
When Xu Dalong got the benefit, he would never keep it to himself. He sent telegrams to the Zhongtiao Mountain Headquarters and the World War II District Chief's Department, and sent telegrams to the Taiyuan Intelligence Station of the underground party, the Taiyuan Intelligence Station of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Taiyuan Military Command, which provided information for this victory.
The working group asked for credit, and as a result, the three intelligence units received corresponding awards. They were very happy and sent a telegram to Xu Dalong to express their gratitude.
Wang Yaohui, leader of the military unification Taiyuan working group, specifically mentioned Lin Xueying in the telegram, saying that he had informed his superiors that Lin Xueying could work in the Mawushan guerrillas on a long-term basis and serve as the liaison officer of the Mawushan guerrillas of the military unification Taiyuan working group.
This telegram was sent with great knowledge. On the one hand, he was showing his goodwill to Xu Dalong and giving Lin Xueying and Xu Dalong a chance to enhance their relationship; on the other hand, he was also reminding Lin Xueying not to forget that she was still a member of the military unification Taiyuan working group.
She must remember her identity and complete the task assigned to her by the organization to win over Xu Dalong.
General Fu is a thoughtful person, and Xu Dalong is a member of the underground party after all.
He made a special trip to send a telegram to the headquarters to ask for credit for Xu Dalong and others.
After returning to the Mawushan base area, Cui Zhenyue was ready to start expanding the guerrilla armored forces.
Today, the Mawushan guerrillas have 36 tanks and 104 armored vehicles, which are enough to equip an armored regiment.
Cui Zhenyue planned to form a tank squadron, six mixed squadrons of tanks and armored vehicles. In order to strengthen the anti-aircraft firepower of the armored forces, he also included the four anti-aircraft machine guns and planned to install the four anti-aircraft machine guns on four load-carrying trucks.
, add steel plates to the carriage baffles to create simple armor protection.
Cui Zhenyue drew up the organization sequence list and came to the brigade headquarters excitedly.
Xu Dalong, Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu were also studying the adjustment of the troop establishment. After reading the armored force establishment sequence list submitted by Cui Zhenyue, Xu Dalong did not say anything and seemed to be thinking about something.
Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu were very happy after reading it. Sun Desheng said: "I think this is very good. With the armored troops of our regiment, plus our cavalry troops, we can walk sideways on the land of Shanxi, hahahaha."
Wang Chengzhu was also very excited and said: "Now that we have armored units, as well as so many trucks and motorcycles, our infantry no longer need to walk underground, they can all travel by car. This is the first of our Eighth Route Army
As a mechanized force, we also have so many cannons that can be pulled up by vehicles. With such a powerful force, it will be no problem to directly kill a Japanese brigade."
Cui Zhenyue was very happy, and after he began to report to Sun Desheng and Wang Chengzhu on the formation of the armored force, he planned to conduct training to ensure that it would reach the level of Japanese training within two months.
The three of them were happily thinking about the glorious future when Xu Dalong spoke and poured cold water on the three of them.
He said: "There are too many seizures this time, and some of them must be handed over. After handing over, let's discuss the issue of troop establishment."
Hearing this, Sun Desheng, Wang Chengzhu and Cui Zhenyue's expressions suddenly turned bad, as if they had just been woken up from a dream, and their faces were confused.
Wang Chengzhu asked: "Captain, what are you going to hand over, and how much do you plan to hand over?"
Xu Dalong said: "Hand in eight tanks, thirty-two armored vehicles, two oil tankers, ten trucks, six motorcycles, and the two captured cars."
Wang Chengzhu said distressedly: "There are so many, can you keep some more?"
After the two cars came back, Wang Chengzhu took a seat and felt very good. He planned to take a car every time he went out in the future. Hearing that he had to hand it over, he felt very uncomfortable.
Sun Desheng also said: "Yes, Captain, I have handed in too many, which is very interesting."
Cui Zhenyue's face was particularly ugly. He originally wanted to form an armored regiment and enjoy the pleasure of being a regiment leader. But now it was reduced so much. Of course he felt uncomfortable. He said: "Captain, we have reduced so much equipment.
The combat effectiveness of the armored forces will be greatly reduced."
Xu Dalong said: "You guys don't even think about it. We are just a deputy regiment-level guerrilla group. It's a bit too much to engage in such a large scale. Besides, even our regiment commander and brigade commander don't have cars to ride in. How can we do it?"
Is it special? The brigade commander and regimental commander have given us enough support, but we can’t forget our roots.”
Sun Desheng was still a little unwilling and said: "Captain, what you said makes sense, but it's okay if we can pay less."
Wang Chengzhu and Cui Zhenyue also agreed with Sun Desheng's opinion and hoped that Xu Dalong could reduce part of the amount handed over.
Xu Dalong said: "You three guys are stupid! We have seized so many weapons and equipment. According to the agreement with the independent group in advance, at least one third must be handed over. Why not take the initiative to prevent our superiors from asking us for it?
, I will hand over more than that by then.”
Although Wang Chengzhu and others thought that what Xu Dalong said was reasonable, they were still a little reluctant and kept haggling with Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong said: "Stop talking nonsense, in addition to these equipment, take out another 20,000 pieces of equipment, two hundred rounds of artillery shells, and 50,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, and send them away as soon as possible."
The three of them saw that Xu Dalong had made up his mind. Although they still felt distressed, they had nothing to do.
Xu Dalong summoned Monk Wei and Wang Xiaohu and asked them to escort this batch of equipment and supplies to the Independent Regiment.
Independent Regiment Department.
In Li Yunlong's room, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were also discussing the matter of Xu Dalong and others' trip to the airport this time.
Li Yunlong said: "Xu Dalong and the others are making more and more noise. This time they destroyed the Japanese army's Taiyuan Airport again, giving face to our independent commander."
Zhao Gang was more mature politically and considered the problem more profoundly. He said: "Xu Dalong and the others not only won a battle this time, they acted together with the troops of the Guo Army, which enhanced mutual understanding between the two armies.
From this point of view, the harvest is even greater.”
Zhang Dabiao said: "Xu Dalong and the others have made a fortune this time. It is said that they have seized the equipment of an entire tank regiment of the Japanese army. According to our regulations, we have to ask the Dalong brothers to get some of them to build a tank battalion for our regiment."
, If you can’t build a battalion, you can build a company.”
Li Yunlong had the same plan in his heart, but he is different now from before. Although he is a person who doesn't know what it means to be embarrassed, but now he is asked to reach out to Xu Dalong to ask for something, and he really can't lose face.
Xu Dalong and his guerrillas were indeed established with the help of the Independent Regiment. However, the weapons, equipment and various supplies that Xu Dalong and his gang handed over were so many that even Li Yunlong could no longer feel at ease with them.
He scratched his head and said, "Zhang Dabiao, you have a good idea. Go and ask Dalong and the others for it."
