The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 1017 Fan Tianxi

In the afternoon, Gao Jiu, Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, and Chief of Operations drove to the outside of the city together. After passing through an industrial area, rice fields appeared in front of them. At this time, no rice was planted in this area, and the inside was full of mud.

On the edge of a large rice field, there are several trucks and many special forces.Next to the rice fields, there are some Japanese [-]-type infantry guns and many ammunition boxes.

Tian Chuan, Li Chengwu and the others were already waiting here, and when they saw Gao Jiu and the others coming, they rushed forward.

Tian Chuan said, "Master Jiu, everything is ready."

Gao Jiu said, "Then let's start."

After the order was delivered, a group of special forces unloaded many door panels from the truck and began to lay them in the rice fields.Before long, a road was paved through the rice fields.The special forces team members pushed the Type [-] infantry gun onto the door panel, and the team members walked on it carrying ammunition boxes.

Seeing this, the faces of Deputy Chief of Staff Feng and Chief of Operations changed.They are now clear that they have indeed underestimated the Japanese army, and there are serious loopholes in their combat plan.

In order to test the trafficability of the road paved by the door panels, the special forces team members led the horses, which carried a lot of supplies, and were able to walk on the door panels.

What's even more outrageous is that they even rushed to the carriage, which was loaded with a lot of supplies, and they just drove past the door panel.

The Chief of Operations said with emotion: "Master Jiu, thanks to your reminder, otherwise, our army will definitely suffer a lot."

After returning to the city, Deputy Chief of Staff Feng and Chief of Operations sent a telegram to report to the Chief of the Fifth Theater.

The chief of staff returned the telegram and expressed his gratitude to Gao Jiu. He invited Gao Jiu to go to the fifth theater on behalf of the Minister's Department to guide the Hunan-Guangxi campaign.

The fifth war zone also paid a lot of money this time, promising to give Gao Jiu 200 million oceans and 300 million worth of industrial raw materials, hoping that Gao Jiu can send an air commando to participate in this battle.

Hitting devils was Gao Jiu's favorite thing to do. Seeing that the little devils were dying, if he didn't take the opportunity to teach them a lesson, there would be no shop after this village.

He readily agreed, not only that, but also agreed to dispatch the Air Force to assist the Fifth Theater in operations.

Accompanied by Deputy Chief of Staff Feng and Chief of Operations, Gao Jiu took a transport plane to Guilin City on this day, and received warm hospitality from the Chief of Staff and others.

After the banquet, the Chief of Staff invited Gao Jiu to the war room of the Commander's Headquarters to discuss the battle plan for the Hunan-Guangxi Campaign.

The chief of staff said: "Mr. Gao, we have sent people to verify the information you provided on the mobilization of Japanese troops, and it is completely correct. We believe that your judgment on the Japanese army's offensive line is also correct, so we must make all the previous combat plans. Overthrow it, formulate it again, and hope that Mr. Gao can put forward your suggestions."

Gao Jiu said: "Don't change your original combat plan. Your intelligence work is also very good. The internal mobilization of the Japanese army has basically been mastered. My opinion is to deploy according to the original combat plan, otherwise , It is also difficult for us to judge the next marching route of the Japanese army.”

The chief of staff nodded and said, "That makes sense. So how should we make adjustments?"

Gao Jiu said: "Let's do whatever we can. The troops of that army are still deployed in front of Zhennan Pass. After the battle starts, we must show a resolute resistance, and then we are unable to do what we want, and we are forced to dodge the passage leading to Zhennan Pass.

Wait for the main force of the Japanese army to enter the rice field area of ​​the water network, concentrate the troops of at least two armies and equip a large number of artillery, and wait in concealment around Zhennan Pass.

After the Japanese army entered the water net rice field, they rushed to the battlefield quickly and surrounded it in this muddy area.The Japanese army moves slowly and cannot receive support in a short period of time. At the same time, it cannot obtain supplements of weapons, ammunition and supplies, so that we can encircle and wipe out this Japanese army with superior forces. "

The chief of staff said happily: "What a good idea. I think we should readjust the battle plan according to Mr. Gao's opinion."

The Japanese army has also been observing the mobilization of troops in the fifth theater. According to the information they have, they have basically figured out the combat deployment of the fifth theater.

The Japanese army saw that the fifth theater had placed an army in front of Zhennanguan, and immediately launched an attack on the troops of the fifth theater from the left, middle, and right according to the original combat plan.

In order to paralyze the troops in the Fifth Theater, the center and right attacked with great fanfare to attract the attention of the main forces in the Fifth Theater. The Japanese army on the left quietly appeared in front of the Guojun's defensive position at night, and then launched a sneak attack. .

The defenders of the Guojun Army did not seem to have expected that the Japanese army would place their main attack direction here. They fought hastily and were very passive. Although they organized a tenacious resistance, they still could not withstand the Japanese attack.

After three hours of fierce fighting, Guo Jun's troops were forced to withdraw.

After the Japanese army drove away the Guojun troops, the engineers immediately opened the way in front, laid a large number of door panels looted from ordinary people's homes in the rice fields, and approached the direction of Zhennanguan.

The War Room of the Chief of the Fifth War Zone.

The news kept coming, and when everyone saw that the development of the battle situation was exactly as Gao Jiu said, they were very happy and full of respect for Gao Jiu.

According to the combat plan formulated in advance, the Ministry of Chiefs mobilized the troops of the two armies concealed in Zhennanguan to attack the 16th Division of the Japanese Army from the left and right sides. The troops of the army that had retreated earlier After cutting off the Japanese army's retreat, the troops of the three armies surrounded the Japanese army in the water net rice field.

After receiving the telegram for help from the 16th Division, the front-line headquarters of the Japanese Southern Front Army immediately ordered troops from a division in the middle road and troops from a brigade in the direction of Shaoguan to reinforce the 16th Division.

The Taohuashan guerrillas immediately dispatched the air force to bomb the reinforcements, and cooperated with the Guojun troops to block the Japanese reinforcements in the middle.

Li Chengwu led the air commando to fly to the railway line between Shaoguan and Zhennanguan, preparing to intercept the Japanese reinforcements coming from Shaoguan.

The Japanese army was marching in a special train. Suddenly, a railway bridge on the way exploded violently, and then collapsed. More than a dozen carriages fell into the rolling river below, directly causing the casualties of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers.

When the Japanese army was in great confusion, there was a huge roar in the sky, and dozens of armed helicopters flew towards the Japanese army, and then started shooting.

The Japanese army lacked anti-aircraft weapons, and basically only had to be beaten.Facing the terrorist attack from the air, the Japanese army fled in all directions, unable to support the besieged 16th Division.

After defeating the reinforcements of the Japanese army, Gao Jiu dispatched a large number of air forces to violently bomb the 16th Division of the Japanese army surrounded by mud.

The troops of the three armies in the fifth theater also launched a fierce attack on the 16th division.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the Fifth Theater completely wiped out the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

After the destruction of the 16th Division, the rest of the Japanese army had no intention of fighting and retreated across the board.

The troops in the Fifth War Zone took the opportunity to pursue, and the Japanese army retreated for more than 50 kilometers before they stabilized their position. The Fifth War Zone took the opportunity to recover a large area of ​​fruit soil.

The fifth war zone has achieved a major victory, and expressed its gratitude to Gao Jiu, and provided Gao Jiu with 200 million oceans and industrial raw materials worth 300 million oceans as agreed.

The chief of staff said: "Mr. Gao, thank you very much. Under your guidance, our army not only avoided heavy casualties, but also achieved a major victory in annihilating a complete division of the enemy.

Let's see if you have any other requests, we will do our best to accommodate them even if you ask them. "

Gao Jiu said, "Then I won't be polite." After speaking, he made a request.

The Chief of the Fifth War Zone was very surprised by Gao Jiu's request, but he still met his request.

In the Battle of Hunan and Guangxi, the troops participating in the battle included the Gui Army, the Zhongyang Army, and some troops from the Sichuan Army. The Sichuan Army troops were mainly the new No.80 Eighth Army. 1 people, the equipment is very backward, and many soldiers wear straw sandals.

They were short of funds, and before going to the battlefield, their army commander sold part of his family's property to make up the funds.

It was under such circumstances that the 88th Army fought very tenaciously. With its weak strength, it blocked the attack of a whole division of the Japanese army and completed the task of blocking the Japanese army.

The commander of the 88th Army and General Yang are friends from the same hometown. General Yang told Gao Jiu that he would take care of the 88th Army if he had the opportunity.

Taking advantage of this great victory and the joyful opportunity of the chiefs of the Fifth Theater Command, Gao Jiu proposed to provide the 88th Army with weapons, ammunition and supplies, as well as part of the military expenses.

For Gao Jiu's sake, the Minister's Ministry agreed.

The generals of the 88th Army never dreamed that the Minister's Department would suddenly show mercy and supplement them.

When they learned the real reason, they rushed to the chief's department and invited Gao Jiu to visit the 88th Army.

Gao Jiu readily agreed, and came to the headquarters of the 88th Army of the Sichuan Army.

Commander Fan of the 88th Army is the prototype of Fan Tianxi in the TV series. He is a famous anti-Japanese general. He has the same characteristics as Commander Yang, that is, he has many wives and concubines.

At the banquet, he took Gao Jiu's hand and said, "Brother Gao, you are really a friend. Brother, I don't know how to thank you. Brother is poor, has no money, and no weapons and equipment. I can't give you anything good." Things. But there are many beautiful girls from Sichuan, if you like them, brother will ask them to accompany you to the Golden Triangle."

Deputy Chief of Staff Feng, who came with Gao Jiu, heard this and hurriedly said: "Commander Fan, none of us heard what you said just now. You must never say it again in the future."

Deputy Chief of Staff Feng knew that Gao Jiu's women were not easy to mess with, and Fan Jun came up with such an idea out of sheer discomfort.

Commander Fan didn't understand the situation at first, but when he figured it out, he stuck out his tongue in fright and said, "Brother, I'm just talking nonsense. You have such high vision, so I won't get involved in your affairs, brother."

Commander Fan always felt sorry for not being able to express it to Gao Jiu, so he took out an inkstone used by Su Dongpo from his home and forced Gao Jiu to accept it, so he gave up.

The reason why Gao Jiu came to the 88th Army of the Sichuan Army this time was because he was really curious about this Commander Fan and wanted to see what the legendary Fan Tianxi looked like.

On the other hand, he came to Commander Fan to remind him of one important thing.

Gao Jiu met with Commander Fan alone, and he said: "General Fan, the 88th Army is all the soldiers you brought from Sichuan, and it is also the capital for you to settle down. It is best to try to keep the 88th Army."

Commander Fan was very surprised when Gao Jiu said that. He asked, "Brother Gao, why did I leave the 88th Army? Did you hear something?"

Gao Jiu knew the direction of history. After this battle, some people saw how capable the 88th Army was, and they were very jealous. The influence of this army is very great. If you don't get him away, the higher-ups will not be able to achieve their own goals. The higher-ups gave him an explicit promotion and a secret surrender, and promoted him to be the deputy commander of a corps in the Ninth War Zone. .

Since then, Commander Fan has been far away from his own troops and lost control of the 88th Army, which is tantamount to ruining a famous anti-Japanese general.

After Commander Fan was transferred from the 88th Army, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he was unwilling to fight the civil war, so he simply resigned and went to Hong Kong.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Gao Jiu specially came over to remind him, and he said: "There are people above who don't like you. After this battle is over, you will be transferred to the ninth theater as the deputy commander of the corps. Surrendering is to keep you away from the 88th Army, and you can only be a polished commander in name only from now on."

Commander Fan had been struggling in the officialdom for decades, and he immediately understood Gao Jiu's reminder.I think when he brought the 88th Army out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, no one paid any attention to him at all. He didn't have a penny of military pay, and he couldn't get a gun and a bullet to supplement him.

Now that the 88th Army has made a name for itself, some people are jealous and want to annex his 88th Army.Commander Fan said angrily, "Glauzi wants to annex Laozi's 88th Army, and Laozi will never end with them."

Gao Jiu was not from the Guofu, all he could do was to remind Commander Fan, as for the final outcome, it was beyond his control.

After finishing what was supposed to be done, Gao Jiu took his leave and left.

After returning to the Chief of the Ninth Theater, Gao Jiu met with Deputy Chief of Staff Feng and reminded him that the Japanese army had just suffered a defeat, and the Chief of the Fifth Theater could concentrate its forces to launch a counterattack against the Japanese.

If the fifth theater has this intention, he is willing to continue to cooperate with the fifth theater and will not charge additional fees.

Deputy Chief of Staff Feng was very embarrassed, and he said: "Mr. Gao, I understand your kindness, but the officers have no intention of fighting the Japanese army now.

Let me tell you this, the officers want to preserve their strength, and they don't want to fight with the Japanese army anymore. "

Seeing that there was nothing left to do in the fifth theater, Gao Jiu planned to leave.
