Facing Wang Jindongliang's inquiry, the confidential staff officer who sent the telegram said, "Is it good news for the troop, please see it yourself." After that, he handed the telegram to Wang Jindong.

After reading the telegram, Wang Jindong couldn't help laughing. He said, "Brother Gao is indeed a lucky general and is a righteous person. Go and notify Chief of Staff Liu, take the Second Battalion and other people from the Cavalry Battalion, and follow me to take over Lanxi County."

No wonder Wang Jindong was so happy. Last time he just captured Linchuan Town.

The credit for regaining lost land was rewarded. The credit for capturing Lanxi County was great. Now there is bad news about the fall of towns everywhere in the country. This time, his 792nd Regiment captured a county in the enemy-occupied area and will definitely be widely publicized in the newspapers in the rear.

Although this contribution was helped by Gao Jiu and others, the main force attacking the county was the cavalry battalion of his 792nd Regiment. Wang Jindong would definitely become famous and the title of anti-Japanese hero could not be eliminated. Not only that, it was inevitable that he would make a fortune by occupying Lanxi County this time.

Wang Jindong and a large group of troops came to Lanxi County excitedly.

Gao Jiu was not in a hurry to rush, but just waited for Wang Jindong in Lanxi County. Because the main section of the next journey was in Pingyue County and Shoucheng County, the largest enemy force of the two counties was the Public Security Army. Taohua Mountain has now reached a tacit understanding with the Public Security Army brigades of these two counties, and is as close as a family with Liu Shengyu of Shoucheng County. It can be said that in this area, there is no threat from a large-scale Japanese and puppet army. Therefore, he is not in a hurry to rush. Even if he wants to go back to Taohua Mountain, he can still act swaying in broad daylight.

He was waiting for Wang Jindong here to discuss another thing.

Zhou Mingshan contacts Jinan Station Station Director Xu Zhongming every day. Xu Zhongming is in an enemy-occupied area, and the Japanese military police headquarters has a radio direction-finding vehicle. He cannot contact Zhou Mingshan at any time. Therefore, the two agreed on a call schedule in advance and conducted telegram communications every day at the agreed time.

Just when Gao Jiu and others were plundering property, Zhou Mingshan received a telegram from Xu Zhongming. In the telegram, Xu Zhongming informed him of a news that attracted Gao Jiu's attention - the 18th Japanese Cavalry Brigade had left Jinan and was on his way to Lu County.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, road traffic was not developed, and the degree of mechanization was not high. In many areas, cavalry units had greater advantages over mechanized units. The 18th Cavalry Battalion of the Japanese cavalry had 340 people. With such a large force, all anti-Japanese armed forces in southern Shandong, including the 792nd Regiment, would probably not bear it. The Japanese cavalry unit was operating in southwestern Shandong, and the threat was too great.

Gao Jiu suddenly had an idea, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when the 18th Japanese cavalry team went deeper and was unfamiliar with the place.

At this time, the main force of Taohua Mountain is about to arrive. If Wang Zhankui's entire cavalry battalion is added, as long as appropriate tactics are adopted, it is entirely possible to eat the Japanese cavalry brigade.

After Wang Jindong and others arrived in Lanxi County, they discussed this matter with Gao Jiu and others.

Wang Jindong suffered a lot when fighting with Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion before, and he also felt a headache for the Japanese cavalry. This time, the 18th Battalion of the Japanese army came to Lu County and was inevitable to fight with them in the future. Although Wang Zhankui's cavalry unit was already in the past, Wang Jindong was still a little afraid of the more than 300 powerful cavalrymen with excellent equipment in the Japanese army. Gao Jiu's proposal hit his mind.

Wang Jindong had no idea about how to destroy this Japanese cavalry unit, so he simply handed over the matter to Gao Jiu. According to Gao Jiu's requirements, the 792nd Regiment cooperated.

After discussion, Wang Jindong equips Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion and a strengthened infantry company with a large number of machine guns and mortars, and 12 trucks, all of which were handed over to Gao Jiu to command.

Gao Jiu then took this team to send the supplies back to Taohua Mountain according to the original route, and then headed to the Jizheng Highway to intercept the 18th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese army.

After Gao Jiu and others left, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion, who was responsible for confiscating Japanese and puppet assets, rushed over excitedly. He said excitedly: "Group, we are rich!"

The so-called Japanese and puppet assets in the enemy-occupied area should strictly refer to the real estate, materials and other property owned by the Japanese and puppet regime, all or partly invested by Japanese and puppet groups or individuals. However, some things are difficult to define. For example, doing business with the Japanese and puppet people, most industrial and commercial enterprises in the enemy-occupied area are inevitable. Saying that they are Japanese and puppet assets is also related to them.

Gao Jiu and others checked out the assets of the Japanese and puppets. After Wang Jindong and others came, they saw that the remaining assets of the Japanese and puppets were no longer very good, so they expanded appropriately and included all the related industrial and commercial enterprises in the Japanese and puppets’ assets. Although they did not ruin the others and blackmail them, it was still a very easy thing.

In this way, Gao Jiu and others were in a hurry and saved more than 400,000 oceans. Wang Jindong had plenty of time and had many people under his command, making more than 1.1 million yuan. He made a fortune in Lanxi County. As for the future economic situation of Lanxi County, Wang Jindong couldn't control it. He didn't have that much ability to defend Lanxi County. He just wanted to make a handful and leave. As long as he kept his knowledge and stayed away from the county, everything would be fine.

Wang Jindong took the seized material list and said with satisfaction: "Chief of Staff Liu reported the victory to the division headquarters and the Fifth War Zone Command. He said that with the cooperation of Taohuashan guerrillas and the Military Control Commission Jinan Station, the 792nd Regiment fought fiercely with the enemy in Japan and won the Lanxi County, which was heavily defended by the Japanese and puppet troops. He annihilated 500 enemies, and our troops also suffered heavy losses."

When the national army reports its military achievements, it often exaggerates the number of annihilation of the enemy. This is easy to understand, mainly to seek credit and reward.

But they would say at the end that our department suffered heavy losses, so this knowledge would be great.

First of all, this shows that the battle they have gone through is very difficult, which in turn highlights the greater military achievements they have achieved. Secondly, saying that their troops have suffered heavy losses has given them an excuse to add to the superiors. With their military achievements, the lion can make a fortune by making a big speech.

Wang Jindong really gained a lot. Now is the most difficult stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and bad news is full of loss of territory all day long. Wang Jindong actually captured a county town defended by the Japanese and puppet troops in the enemy-occupied area, which immediately caused a sensation.

Most media in the rear reported that the heroic deeds and brilliant achievements of the 792nd Regiment of the National Army were reported. Wang Jindong himself became an anti-Japanese hero. Not long ago, Wang Jindong was commended by the Military Commission for conquering Linchuan Town and the prisoner-of-war camp. This time, he became even more famous because he took down Lanxi County. Some newspapers even called him a famous anti-Japanese general.

Wang Jindong's father-in-law revealed to him that the superiors had already intentionally promoted him to the deputy commander of major general and were still the leader of the 792nd Regiment. If Wang Jindongliang continues to work hard and makes another contribution, there may be better news waiting for him.

Shortly after the team of Gao Jiu and others set off, they met Zhang Quan and others who came to pick him up, and joined forces to go to Taoyuan Town. Along the way, the team had 20 military vehicles, Wang Zhankui's 200 cavalry, an infantryman of the 792nd Regiment, 60 members of the Taohuashan Guerrillas, and hundreds of troops marched on the road in a swagger. None of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way dared to come out and find uncomfortable.

When they arrived in Taoyuan Town, Gao Jiu, Zhou Mingshan and Wang Zhankui began to share the spoils. This time they seized a total of 420,000 oceans of money and materials, including 116,000 oceans of cash.

This time when he was attacking Lanxi County, Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion was the main force, and he was assigned 60,000 oceans. Although Zhou Mingshan only brought two people from the Military Control Commission to participate in the battle, without other people's intelligence, there would be no such victory in Lanxi County. He was assigned 30,000 oceans, and Gao Jiu also received 2,600 oceans.

When it was time to allocate other supplies, Zhou Mingshan said that he didn't want any of these supplies. Wang Zhankui was also a smart person. He knew what Zhou Mingshan meant and immediately said that he didn't want any of the supplies and gave them all to Taohua Mountain. He and Zhou Mingshan both understood that without Gao Jiu, they could not take a penny. The two of them owed Gao Jiu a great favor, and they were already very satisfied with their ability to get these oceans.

Gao Jiu is not polite either. Taohua Mountain is different from Zhou Mingshan and Wang Zhengkui. There are people behind them who pay to support them. Gao Jiu still has more than 200 people who need to support them.

However, Gao Jiu has always been righteous in his work. Seeing Zhou Mingshan and Wang Zhengkui being loyal, he simply took out the 26,000 oceans he had allocated and gave Wang Zhankui and Zhou Mingshan 10,000 each. These oceans were given to Zhou Mingshan and Wang Zhankui personally, and no one else knew about them.

Gao Jiu took out another 6,000 oceans and gave the company commander of the strengthening company sent by Wang Jindong, asking him to share the 6,000 oceans with his brothers. The war is imminent, and it is necessary to win people's hearts.

The company commander of the Strengthening Company did not expect that Gao Jiu would take such a generous move. His Strengthening Company had only 150 people and 6,000 oceans. He was going to give each soldier 20 oceans. The remaining 3,000 oceans, except for those who went back to honor the superiors, each of them could get a lot of them.

Before the officers and soldiers of the strengthening company fought, they had already received so many oceans. They were all tall and were waiting to fight the Japanese.

Gao Jiu gained a lot of benefits during this trip to Wuhan. Weapons and ammunition, various materials, oceans and fiat currencies were worth millions. He also established good interpersonal relationships, laying a good foundation for the development and growth of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Gao Jiu and others rested in Taoyuan Town for one night, handed over the supplies to Li Chengwu and others, and then went to fight against the 18th Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry.

The 18th Japanese Cavalry Brigade participated in the Nanjing Massacre and massacred our anti-Japanese military and civilians in Changshu, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places. Except for a few new recruits, most of the Japanese in this army were covered with the blood of the Chinese people.

The captain of the 18th Cavalry Brigade, Major Gan Qilang of Tiancheng, is a demon who kills without blinking. He has cut off the heads of seven innocent people with his own hands in Suzhou. After coming to Shandong, they continued to carry out their atrocities.

After the 18th Cavalry Brigade left Jinan, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all the evil. Wherever they went, even the local Japanese and puppet troops were very dissatisfied with them.

Especially the local gendarmerie, their main task is to maintain local public order. Sometimes, in order to prepare a storefront, they can also do some superficial articles that win people's hearts. The 18th Cavalry Brigade of the Cavalry broke out and tear down all the fig leaf on their faces.

When the 18th Cavalry Brigade passed by Yu County, the captain of the brigade, Tiancheng Ganqilang had a meal at a restaurant. He fell in love with the woman of the hotel owner and wanted to forcibly commit suicide. The owner of the hotel always respects the captain of the military police, and the relationship between the two was quite good. So the captain of the military police came out to plead for the boss, but was beaten by Tiancheng Ganqilang. The captain of the military police could not afford to offend the King of Hell, so he had to complain to the military police headquarters.

At noon that day, the 18th Cavalry Brigade entered Pingyue County. On the way, they saw a village not far from the road, so they decided to go to this village to rest.

The county brigade of Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong has now been officially reorganized into the Southwest Shandong Anti-Japanese Independence Battalion. Jiang Xiaomei was the battalion commander and Yang Jiong was the battalion political commissar. Tian Chuan has returned to Taohua Mountain, and the chief of staff of the Independence Battalion was served by an old Red Army soldier Huang Shuigen.

The official title of political commissar is now only set up in units above the regiment level, and the battalion-level unit is called instructor. However, in the past, there was such a name at battalion-level units, and it was mainly used in units such as independent battalions.

When the Independent Battalion was established, in order to reduce the pressure on the supply of the Independent Battalion, Chen John, Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong accepted Gao Jiu's suggestion and streamlined the Independent Battalion. Today, the Independent Battalion has a total of 420 people, including more than 30 old Eighth Route Army rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved. The Independent Battalion is organized into a battalion headquarters, a guard communication platoon, a service platoon, a female soldier squad and three infantry companies.

After the establishment of the Independent Battalion, on the one hand, the internal training was strengthened, while the troops were divided to mobilize the masses to establish fortress villages, mobilize and organize the masses to establish grassroots regimes, militias, women's rescue associations, and children's corps, providing a reasonable burden for the Independent Battalion.

At this moment, the third company of the Independent Battalion was resting in Daguo Village.

Platoon leader Zhang Jiawang is from Zhangjiazhuang and was one of the first old soldiers to join the guerrillas with Jiang Xiaomei. He has now become one of the backbones of the Independent Battalion. He is responsible for mobilizing the masses in this generation of six villages. Originally, in the guidance on the grassroots construction of the Independent Battalion, the work of mobilizing the masses was not carried out for the time being.

However, because Daguo Village is often invaded by Japanese and puppet troops, they hate the Japanese and puppet troops very much. They want to establish an anti-Japanese militia organization, so they took the initiative to find Zhang Jiawang and others who were active in this area. Only then did the three companies and one row of people come to this village.
Chapter completed!
