The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 1028 For oil
Gao Jiu planned to wipe out these puppet troops on the way before they reached Shandong.

After receiving this information, Gao Jiu notified the underground party, asking them to find out the transportation plan for the puppet troops outside the customs.

The intelligence work of the underground party is still very good, and they got the relevant information soon after.

A total of more than 98000 puppet troops entered the customs this time. These puppet troops were not transferred from the established system, but some soldiers were drawn from various units, and the Shandong 12th Army sent officers to reorganize them.Such troops cannot form a strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time, which is a favorable condition for destroying them.

The Japanese army originally planned to train these 10 puppet troops abroad. Due to the tense situation in Shandong, the Japanese army changed its original plan. Veterans lead recruits to train in order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

The Japanese army transported troops by road or rail.The intelligence station of the underground party in Peiping intercepted an important piece of information, and learned that the Japanese army planned to transport the puppet troops by railway.

The underground party discussed with Gao Jiu that the two parties should jointly attack the puppet troops who entered the customs.

Invited by the anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party in Shandong, Wang Zhankui and Gao Jiu took a helicopter to the Binhai District to participate in the combat meeting.

After deliberation, Gao Jiu and the others led the air assault team to the third military division of the Eastern Jidong Military Region.It is very close to Shanhaiguan, so Gao Jiu and others chose here as a logistics base to attack the Japanese army and railway lines at any time.

The leaders of the Jidong Military Region and the brothers of the Taohuashan guerrillas are old friends, and they have fought side by side many times.With the help of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the Jidong Military Region is now developing very rapidly.

When Gao Jiu first came to the Third Military Division of the Jidong Military Region, they had only two main regiments. The first regiment had only 700 people, and the second regiment had only [-] people. The weapons and equipment were very backward.

Now the Third Military Division has grown to two independent brigades, six main regiments, and a large number of local troops. It has reached more than [-] people, and its equipment has also been greatly improved. It has become the strongest combat force in the Eastern Jidong Military Region. A military division.

When the leaders of the Third Military Division heard that Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas were coming, they were very excited, but at the same time felt very embarrassed.

The Jidong Military Region has assigned them the task of providing fuel for the air commandos of the Taohuashan guerrillas, which has put enormous pressure on the Third Army Division.

Gasoline is one of the key strategic materials controlled by the Japanese and puppets, and the Third Army Division simply cannot buy it. Their only way is to grab it from the devils, but how much can they grab.

They knew that they could not complete this task at all, so they truthfully reported to their superiors.

Gao Jiu also felt a headache when he heard the news.He sympathized with the difficulties faced by the leaders of the Third Military Division and was willing to solve this problem by himself. He also felt that it was very difficult.

Now that the third military division has built an airport, the transportation of ammunition is not a problem, but there is no way for fuel, which can only be solved locally.

The leaders of the Third Military Division tried their best to get a few tons of fuel, which was nothing at all.Gao Jiu and others decided to go to the Third Army Division first, and then find a way to solve it locally.So he took only 20 armed helicopters and came to the third military division.

The leaders of the Third Military Division warmly entertained Gao Jiu and the others, and they were naturally very happy to meet old friends.

Everyone talked freely about the development of the situation in the War of Resistance Against Japan and their vision for the future of victory, and then they talked about the issue of fuel.

The commander of the military division said with some embarrassment: "Jiu Ye, we have received instructions from our superiors to provide fuel for your air commandos, but we are really helpless. How to solve this matter, we all listen to you, you Say what to do, we will fully cooperate.”

Gao Jiu thought that if he wanted to solve the fuel problem, he could only grab it from the Japanese and puppet troops.Although the degree of mechanization of the Japanese and puppet troops is not high, at least some of their troops have vehicles, so there is no other way.Therefore, Gao Jiu first asked the Third Military Division to provide them with relevant information.

The Third Military Division immediately sent a large number of scouts to conduct reconnaissance and requested the cooperation of the underground intelligence department.

Gao Jiu and the others stayed in the third military division, waiting for news.

On this day, the Third Military Division received a telegram from the Jidong Military Region, which conveyed the instructions of the underground party superiors, saying that the Jizhong Military Region was also trying to help them raise gasoline, and a part of it had already been raised and was ready to be transported to the No. Three divisions come.Due to the possibility of being intercepted by the Japanese army during the transportation, the Jizhong Military Region and the Jidong Military Region sent troops to guard them, and at the same time notified Gao Jiu, hoping that when their transport team was intercepted by the Japanese army, he would rush to help.

Commander Cui Zhenshan and Deputy Commander Wang Shuanzi of the Fourth Military Division of the Jizhong Military Region are also old friends of the Taohuashan guerrillas. After they heard about this incident, they took the initiative to undertake the task of transporting oil and got them to All the fuel was also sent to Gao Jiu.

In order to ensure the safe arrival of these supplies, Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi personally led the two main groups to protect them.

The amount of fuel raised by the Jizhong Military Region is still quite a lot. There are 320 carriages full of gasoline barrels, and the long convoy is several kilometers long, plus thousands of escort troops. They adopted the method of day and night, but it was still difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese and puppet troops.

When the transport team arrived in Yutian County, it was intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops.

After Gao Jiu received the telegram from Cui Zhenshan, he quickly checked the map and saw that the distance from the third military division was just within the range of the helicopter cruise, so he asked Zhang Quan and Li Chengwu to lead 100 armed helicopters to go for reinforcements .

Those who besieged Cui Zhenshan and others were a reinforced infantry regiment from the newly formed 151st Division that the Japanese army had just transferred from China, together with more than 1000 Japanese and puppet troops from surrounding strongholds, the total strength was more than 5000.

Although Cui Zhenshan and others had the same strength as the Japanese army, they had to protect the carts transporting oil and could not occupy favorable terrain. They could only organize a counterattack against the Japanese army around the road, which was very passive.

The Japanese army came prepared. They saw the carts loaded with fuel parked on the road, and fired at them with Type 92 infantry guns. The carts were continuously blown over by the Japanese army, and the gasoline barrels were overturned. Fuel was scattered on the ground, and some even ignited and caught fire.Fortunately, the distance between the large vehicles is relatively large, so that the fuel on other vehicles will not be detonated.

Both Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi were veterans of guerrilla warfare. If it weren't for the drag of these fuels, they would have been able to carry out mobile defense and get rid of the attacks of the Japanese and puppet troops.

They knew that these oils were urgently needed by Lord Jiu, and they had to keep them no matter what.

Cui Zhenshan saw the artillery positions of the Japanese army in the distance, and he knew that only by eliminating the artillery of the Japanese army could he get rid of the passive situation in front of him.

He called Wang Shuanzi, and asked Wang Shuanzi to lead a reinforced battalion to charge the Japanese artillery positions.

Artillery positions have always been the focus of the Japanese army's protection.In order to destroy the Japanese artillery, they had to attack the Japanese infantry.

The Japanese army saw the Eighth Route Army rushing over and immediately intercepted it with firepower.Seeing this situation, the rest of the Japanese army also attacked the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who launched the charge from both sides.

The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and more than 10 people had been lost in 200 minutes.Seeing this scene, Wang Shuanzi knew that it would be impossible to go on like this, so he had to stop the attack.

He saw that his troops were very close to the enemy's artillery positions, and the mortars could be captured, so he ordered the troops to defend on the spot to cover the mortarers' bombardment of the Japanese artillery positions.

Seeing this situation, the Japanese artillery stopped their bombardment of the oil trucks on the highway, and turned their targets to the artillery brought by Wang Shuanzi and others.

The two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.The firepower of the Japanese army had the upper hand, and soon they destroyed the artillery brought by Wang Shuanzi and the others, and then began to bombard the infantry brought by Wang Shuanzi and others.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suffered more and more casualties under the heavy enemy artillery fire.

In order to keep the oil parked on the road, Wang Shuanzi also went all out, and he led the soldiers to fight the Japanese army on the spot, forcing the Japanese army to stop bombarding the oil on the road.

The commander of the Japanese army also noticed the intention of the Eighth Route Army. He saw that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army unit that rushed over had exceeded half, and he was determined to eat the Eighth Route Army unit first.

While ordering all the artillery to shell, he mobilized the troops to intensify the attack on the officers and soldiers of the reinforced battalion brought by Wang Shuanzi.

Cui Zhenshan saw that Wang Shuanzi and others were in danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army, so he hurriedly organized troops to rescue them. The rescue troops were intercepted by Japanese firepower, and the soldiers were knocked down continuously.

Seeing the heavy casualties of his troops, Cui Zhenshan's heart was bleeding.He knew that if he continued to fight like this, the troops he brought would be in danger of being wiped out.

He really wanted to lead his troops away from the battlefield, but when he saw the carts full of fuel parked on the road, he didn't want to disappoint Lord Jiu, so he gritted his teeth and continued to fight.

The combat section chief who followed Cui Zhenshan said anxiously: "Master Jiu and the others said they would send a plane to support them. Why haven't they arrived after such a long time?"

Cui Zhenshan also looked at the sky anxiously, hoping that the reinforcements sent by Master Jiu would appear soon.

"Look! The plane is coming." Someone shouted.

Cui Zhenshan hurriedly looked towards the north, and sure enough, he saw many small black spots appearing in the sky.

He hurriedly shouted: "Get in touch with Jiu Ye's people quickly."

Now most of the troops of the Eighth Route Army have been equipped with wireless telegraphs produced by Golden Triangle. According to the pre-discussed frequency band, they quickly got in touch with Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan asked to talk to Cui Zhenshan, and Cui Zhenshan hurriedly took the receiver from the communication soldier.

Cui Zhenshan said excitedly: "I am the Fourth Military Division of Jizhong Military Region, may I ask if Master Jiu is there?"

Zhang Quan didn't know Cui Zhenshan. He said: "I am Zhang Quan, the second leader of the Taohuashan guerrilla team. Lord Jiu sent me to support you. Please indicate the target for us to attack."

Cui Zhenshan hurriedly introduced the situation on the battlefield, and Zhang Quan commanded the armed helicopter to attack the Japanese army.

The commander of the Japanese army also saw the fleet flying from the sky.He had already been informed that the enemy had a large air commando force, and he had no idea that it would appear here.

Facing the huge fleet of armed helicopters in the sky, he immediately organized anti-aircraft fire.

A fierce exchange of fire began in the sky and on the ground, and the result of the battle made the Japanese commander completely desperate.The bullets of the Japanese machine guns and rifles hit the sky, but there was no response at all, but the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the blows of machine guns and rockets.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army began to collapse psychologically. Before the Japanese commander gave the order to retreat, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army began to flee in all directions.

When the puppet soldiers just saw the helicopter in the sky, they had already slipped away.

No matter how fast the two short legs of the devil soldiers ran, they could not keep up with the speed of the helicopters. The guerrillas chased the running Japanese and puppet soldiers on the ground like hunting, and knocked them to the ground with machine guns.

The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army felt very relieved when they saw the Japanese army's embarrassment. For a while, they just watched the excitement and stayed where they were and enjoyed it.

Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi were very emotional when they saw that the Japanese army had collapsed.Not long ago, they suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, and they were in a passive position.

But as soon as the Taohuashan guerrillas arrived, the Japanese army completely collapsed.

Seeing that the Japanese army had fled, they hurriedly ordered their troops to pursue the Japanese army.

Only then did the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army come to their senses and chased after the Japanese army.

The armed helicopter group was still chasing and killing the Japanese and puppet troops in the air. When they saw groups of Japanese and puppet troops, they would fire rockets or shoot with machine guns. Later, the number of Japanese and puppet troops became less and less, and the distance between them The distance was getting bigger and bigger. In order to chase the devils alone, it was not worthwhile to shoot with rockets or machine guns, so they gave up the pursuit. In the end, a small number of Japanese and puppet troops escaped with their lives.

The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army chased the enemy while happily seizing the spoils.Their mood was completely different from that before the arrival of the guerrillas, and they were envious of the mighty Taohuashan guerrillas.

Zhang Quan and others landed on a flat place. Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi saw Zhang Quan and hurried up to meet him.

Li Chengwu had met Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi before, so he introduced Zhang Quan.

Cui Zhenshan said gratefully: "Second in charge, thank you very much. If you hadn't arrived in time, we might have to confess here today."
