The Japanese soldiers completely collapsed. Many of them threw away the weapons in their hands, the backpacks on their backs, and everything heavy on their bodies, just so that they could escape faster.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were noisy, like a group of ants, just trying to escape.
After Bob strafed the whole group for a while, he calculated the amount of fuel he was carrying. They had to fly to Hongtong County to support the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, so he abandoned the escaping Japanese troops and flew to Hongtong County.
.
The Japanese and puppet troops guarding Hongtong County were almost unable to hold on under the fierce attack of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment. The roar of planes came from the sky, boosting their morale and many people cheered happily.
stand up.
In their understanding, the underground anti-Japanese armed forces did not have an air force, and of course these bombers were here to help them.
While the Japanese and puppet officers and soldiers were excited, something strange happened. The officers and soldiers of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces attacking the city outside also cheered. It seemed that these planes were here to support their operations.
While the Japanese and puppet troops were wondering, the bombers passed over the county town and swooped down towards the city tower.
At this time, there were no aerial bombs on the bomber, and the machine gunners used machine guns to fire violently at the Japanese and puppet troops.
Bob's bomber also contained several wooden gasoline barrels, which he threw down towards the tower.
There were ignited cloth strips tied to the gasoline barrels. When the gasoline barrels hit the tower and shattered, the gasoline inside was immediately ignited. The fire quickly burned to the entire tower, burning the Japanese and puppet soldiers above.
Ghosts cry and wolves howl.
The Japanese and puppet troops who encountered an air attack were unwilling to fight and fled in all directions.
The officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment outside the city used to be bombed by Japanese planes. Now they felt very satisfied when they saw their planes bombing the Japanese and puppet troops. They were all elated and cheered.
Li Yunlong saw the Japanese and puppet troops fleeing on the city wall, ordered his troops to charge, and successfully entered the city.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie captured Hongtong County, annihilated the Japanese and puppet troops inside, seized a large number of weapons and equipment, and looted a large amount of property from the Japanese and puppet personnel, and returned with their troops fully loaded with satisfaction.
When they entered the base area, Kong Jie said with some worry: "Old Li, after all, we are disobeying orders on the battlefield. How can we explain it if our superiors investigate?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Old Kong, what are you afraid of? We have won the battle, and it's too late for the brigade commander to be happy. Let's do this. In order to prevent the brigade commander from getting angry, let's prepare a gift and send it directly to the brigade headquarters.
, As long as the brigade commander accepts it, this matter will be over."
Kong Jie felt that what Li Yunlong said made sense, so he discussed with Li Yunlong that each regiment should bring out two mortars, one Type 92 heavy machine gun, nine crooked machine guns, and one hundred Type 38 guns.
Two hundred troops were made in Hanyang, and 5,000 yuan were sent to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander accepted the gift, and sure enough, he didn't mention a word about the disobedience of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
The underground anti-Japanese armed forces and the Shanxi-Sui Army jointly fought and achieved major results in annihilating a Japanese brigade, which caused a huge sensation at home and abroad.
A grand parade celebration was held at the location of the Guotou District and the headquarters of the World War II District Chief, and various newspapers and magazines also reported extensively. The names of the brigade commander, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang, Wang Limin, Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others,
It is becoming more and more familiar to the world.
Peking City, Yenching University.
Li Mengtong was a classmate of Zhao Gang. He now stayed at Yenching University to teach. That day she heard a colleague who was also a classmate of Zhao Gang and now teaches at Yenching University talk about Zhao Gang and said that Zhao Gang has now become a famous
anti-Japanese hero.
After returning home, according to the radio band provided by her colleagues, she listened to the broadcast of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed radio station. Sure enough, there was a report about the anti-Japanese armed forces' victory in Shanxi, and Zhao Gang's name was mentioned in it.
Li Mengtong's husband Yang Fanming is also teaching at Yenching University. He is a doctor of medicine who graduated from a well-known American university and is also a patriot. When the Anti-Japanese War just started, he returned to China from the United States and prepared to contribute his own efforts to the cause of the Anti-Japanese War.
A force, but due to various accidents, he was finally forced to stay in Beiping City.
After hearing his wife tell Zhao Gang's story, he said he hoped to have the opportunity to get in touch with Zhao Gang and make a contribution to the anti-Japanese cause.
Soon after, a beautiful young woman came to Li Mengtong's home.
Neither Li Mengtong nor his wife knew this person, so they politely asked about the person's identity and origin.
The visitor said: "My name is Su Xiaoyan, and I am now the director of the Mawushan guerrilla field hospital of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces. Zhao Gang is the Zheng Committee of our guerrillas. He sent me to visit you."
After saying that, she took out Zhao Gang's autographed letter and handed it to Li Mentong.
Li Mengtong opened the envelope, read the letter carefully, and recognized Zhao Gang's familiar handwriting.
She thought that her husband must be interested in the contents of the letter, so she handed the letter to Yang Fanming.
After reading the contents of the letter, Yang Fanming felt unbelievable, so he discussed the matters mentioned in the letter with Su Xiaoyan.
What Zhao Gang mentioned in the letter was about the unique medicinal effects of Qingmeisu, its medical principles and development methods. With Yang Fanming's profound medical knowledge, he believed that it was entirely possible to successfully develop this drug.
He said excitedly: "If this kind of drug is developed, it will greatly benefit mankind. I am sure that with this scientific research result, I can definitely be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine."
Su Xiaoyan said: "Our Zhao Gang has said that he hopes you can participate in the development of this drug. He knows that you are all patriots and are willing to contribute to the anti-Japanese cause. He hopes to fight side by side with you for the great anti-Japanese cause.
, creating a medical miracle belonging to the anti-Japanese military and civilians."
Later, Su Xiaoyan talked about the Mawushan guerrillas' heroic fighting, growth and magnificent achievements since its establishment, which made Li Mengtong and Yang Fanming excited.
Su Xiaoyan said that the Mawushan base can provide Yang Fanming with all the medical facilities and equipment he needs. In terms of funds and manpower, it can fully meet Yang Fanming's needs for medical research, and ensure that the couple's salary, benefits and life will be guaranteed even if they arrive at the base.
The conditions will not be lower than the treatment they enjoy at Yenching University.
Yang Fanming is not very concerned about living conditions. He is extremely interested in the development of new antibiotic drugs and talks more about this aspect.
Li Mengtong was more concerned about life matters. She asked in detail about security and life issues in the Mawu Mountain base area. Su Xiaoyan answered them one by one.
Li Mengtong and his wife left Su Xiaoyan to have dinner at home. After dinner, they continued to ask about the Mawushan base area.
Li Mengtong said that the couple could discuss this matter again. Su Xiaoyan said goodbye and left.
Su Xiaoyan left Yenching University and went to the home of another classmate of Zhao Gang.
Three days later, Su Xiaoyan left Peiping City. With them, in addition to Li Mengtong and Yang Fanming's family, there were also two other classmates of Zhao Gang, as well as Yang Fanming's two assistants and their families.
After the car Li Mengtong and others were riding in left Peiping City, they traveled a few kilometers along the road and turned onto a country road. Soon they saw a brigade of Mawushan guerrilla cavalry.
Everyone realized that a new life had begun.
After arriving at the Mawushan base area, Xu Dalong, Zhao Gang and others warmly entertained Li Mengtong, Yang Fanming and others.
Yang Fanming had already heard from Su Xiaoyan that the idea for developing new antibiotics was proposed by Xu Dalong.
He was very curious about this. Just after the welcome party, he was about to talk to Xu Dalong about antibiotics.
Zhao Gang said there was no rush in this matter. He hoped that everyone would settle down first and there would be plenty of time in the future. Captain Xu would tell them without reservation.
Li Mengtong also felt that her husband was a little too impatient, and she also persuaded Yang Fanming to settle down first.
Yang Fanming was a bit nerdy and obsessed with medical research. The next morning he came to Xu Dalong to discuss antibiotic-related issues with Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong explained the medical principles and all the development processes of antibiotics to Yang Fanming in detail one by one.
Yang Fanming originally thought that it would take long-term research and a lot of experiments to succeed, but he did not expect that there was already a mature process here.
He was very excited and very curious about Xu Dalong. He did not believe that Xu Dalong was an ordinary farmer who came from a mountain village and had never gone to school. He believed that Xu Dalong's level of medical knowledge was not inferior to that of a doctor of medicine.
Yang Fanming urged to start the development work quickly.
Before Su Xiaoyan went to Beiping City, Zhao Gang had already started making arrangements to build a new laboratory. It had not yet been completed, and some of the required medical equipment and equipment were not yet in place.
He persuaded Yang Fanming to wait patiently, but Yang Fanming was very sorry. He was a restless person, so he took the initiative to go to the field hospital to help treat the wounded.
After Su Xiaoyan returned to the Mawushan base area, she went to Taiyuan City. From there, she mobilized a group of classmates to join the Mawushan guerrillas. Around the development of Qingmeisu, Guancheng County gathered a very strong lineup.
With the help of our medical research team, the development of Qingmeisu has officially begun.
Lingao City. Headquarters of the 4th Division of Huang Xiejun.
Yan Guiwu is living a very happy life now, and he is now increasingly trusted and valued by Qianye Xunyi.
The last time he provided information that the Mawushan guerrillas were going to attack the 110th Division, Chiba Xunyi thought the information was false and put him in a gendarmerie cell. As a result, it turned out that the coalition forces attacked Lingao City.
It was just a cover, the real goal was to attack the reinforcements from the 110th Division.
Chiba Xunyi felt that he had wronged Yan Guiwu and felt embarrassed. Although he did not go to the cell to take Yan Guiwu out personally for the sake of face, he sent his adjutant to release Yan Guiwu from the cell and held a banquet to calm Yan Guiwu's shock.
From then on, Qianye Xunyi also trusted and respected Yan Guiwu more. Now, no matter what happens, Qianye Xunyi is willing to discuss it with Yan Guiwu.
Under normal circumstances, Qianye Xunyi would be able to agree to whatever request Yan Guiwu made.
Yan Guiwu was reused by the Japanese and also gained the trust of Xu Dalong. While enjoying good treatment from the Japanese, he secretly did business with the guerrillas and made a fortune without having to worry about his own safety. These days
Had a very comfortable time.
Not long ago, Xu Dalong sent someone to provide a material purchase list and asked Yan Guiwu to help purchase a batch of medical equipment. Yan Guiwu arranged for Wang Shuhuai to help purchase and then sent it to Guancheng County.
The Mawushan guerrillas not only paid for the purchase of this batch of medical equipment, but also paid a large sum of money to Yan Guiwu and others.
Yan Guiwu believed that his life at this time was the most nourishing in his life, and he very much hoped that his life could continue like this. However, this peaceful life may soon be broken again.
On this day, Yan Guiwu received a call from Chiba Xunyi himself, asking him to attend a combat meeting at the garrison headquarters of the 32nd Division.
Independent Regiment Department.
Li Yunlong just received good news from the brigade commander, saying that the Taiyue Military Region is about to expand. In addition to the troops in the Mawushan base area, after the expansion of the entire military region, in addition to the original brigade, the 87th Brigade will also be expanded.
and the 88th Brigade, as well as the expansion of the New First Brigade, the New Second Brigade, the New Third Brigade, and the addition of the First Brigade.
The superiors have decided to expand the third regiment into a new first brigade based on the independent regiment and the supplementary first regiment. Based on Kong Jie's new second regiment, it will be expanded into a new second brigade, and Ding Wei's new regiment will be incorporated into it.
87th Brigade.
Hearing the good news, Li Yunlong said happily: "Captain Lao Zi has been working for six years, and now he can finally become a brigade commander."
Of course Zhang Dabiao was also very happy. The independent regiment was expanded into the new first brigade. Naturally, his regiment's chief of staff also improved and became the chief of staff of the new first brigade.
Li Yunlong said: "Zhang Dabiao, our independent regiment is the strongest regiment in our brigade. Now that it has been expanded into a new brigade, it will also become the strongest brigade in the Taiyue Military Region. Let's go quickly while we have plenty of equipment.
Recruiting a group of new soldiers, Lao Zi wants to expand his regiment."
Zhang Dabiao said with some embarrassment: "Captain, we don't have to worry about our weapons and equipment. Even if we form two new regiments, there will be no problem. But I heard that the army is going to expand, and each regiment is robbing people. I'm afraid we can recruit people in the base area."
We don’t have that many new recruits.”
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Zhang Dabiao, we can't suffocate living people to death. We can't find them in the base area. Can't we go outside the base area to recruit them? If you do this, notify each battalion and company and let them disperse to fight guerrillas. Who will
If we recruit more people, we will promote them this time."
Zhang Dabiao smiled and said: "Captain, you are still smart, this method is good. If brothers hear that you give this policy, why don't you go out and recruit people?"
