The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 242 Peach Blossom Mountain Defense System

On the eve of the wedding night, Du Shengxi went out to fight with the brothers in the cottage, and Zhao Xuemei's heart was tightly held together.

In the past, when Du Sheng liked to go out to fight, Zhao Xuemei was very worried.This time, the head of the family took almost all the special forces members of the cottage to go out to fight. This is a very rare situation in the cottage, which shows that the enemy situation is very serious, and the risk of going out to fight is also very high.

Zhao Xuemei was reluctant to let Du Shengxi leave the cottage, and persuaded him not to go this time, saying that the head of the family had already agreed not to let him go.However, Du Shengxi was determined to go, saying that the more it was at this time, the more he would share the joys and sorrows with the big bosses.

Zhao Xuemei could also understand Du Shengxi. After all, he was a leader of the village. How could he stay at home just because he wanted to get married when all the brothers in the village were fighting to the death?

Zhao Xuemei didn't stop him, but told him to be careful when going out, and helped him organize his luggage for going out.At that time, she was smiling, as if nothing had happened.However, when Du Shengxi really left, Zhao Xuemei felt extremely sad.

Leaning against the door, watching Du Shengxi's disappearing figure, she couldn't help but shed tears.

At this moment, she even doubted whether her choice was right. After marrying Du Shengxi, she might be like this in the future.

However, in this cruel war age, what choice can she have?
Wang Sanniang understood Zhao Xuemei's mood and specially stayed with her all night.

When Gao Jiu and the others won the battle and brought back the good news, the people in the cottage cheered for joy.However, Zhao Xuemei's heart became more and more nervous. Although the Shanzhai won the battle, there will always be casualties in the war.Zhao Xuemei thought resentfully: "Du Shengxi, a guy who doesn't know how to be cold or warm, why didn't he report his safety to himself in the telegram?"

Wang Sanniang understood Zhao Xuemei's feelings, she also had the same experience.Wang Sanniang's husband was a businessman who went to do business outside the customs seven years ago, and all the people who went with him came back, but Wang Sanniang's husband died outside the customs.

Wang Sanniang thought of her sad past, and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.However, she is now recognized as the eldest sister among the women in the cottage, women are willing to tell her whatever they have in mind, and she has consciously assumed the responsibility of the eldest sister.

Wang Sanniang shook her head, tried her best to dispel the unbearable past in her heart, and comforted Zhao Xuemei, saying: "Sister Xuemei, there is the head of the house, why don't you worry about it? When we set off, the head of the house didn't let the head of the house follow me Does it mean that he is thinking of you in his heart, so don't worry, the big boss won't let your fourth boss take risks."

Speaking of the head of the family, Zhao Xuemei seemed to feel more at ease.During the war, Gao Jiu charged forward and retreated behind. Not only was he bold, but he was also cautious. He tried his best not to let the team members take risks with him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuemei forced a smile and said: "Sanniang, you are right. The first and second leaders are not afraid, and my family's Shengxi will come back safely."

Wang Sanniang knew that Zhao Xuemei would slowly adapt to such a carefree life.However, she still stayed with Zhao Xuemei and waited for Du Shengxi to come back with her.

According to the time when Gao Jiu and the others returned to the village according to the telegram, accompanied by Wang Sanniang and the others, Zhao Xuemei went down the mountain early to Taniguchi, waiting for Du Shengxi to come back.

At this moment, seeing Du Shengxi came back unscathed, Zhao Xuemei burst into tears. She ignored everyone looking at her and ran to meet Du Shengxi.

Du Shengxi jumped off his horse, and hugged Zhao Xuemei tightly in his arms.

The men in the cottage were all bachelors, they looked at the fourth master enviously, and howled and booed.

Zhang Quan smashed his mouth and said, "Jiuye, the fourth head of the family is really blessed! Hurry up and marry a Mrs. Yazhai. If you take the lead, we will follow suit to ask for a wife."

"Yes, master, there should have been a Mrs. Yazhai in our cottage."

Everyone could see the relationship between the head of the family and Jiang Xiaomei. Seeing that Jiang Xiaomei was beside Gao Jiu, everyone deliberately booed and cast their eyes on Jiang Xiaomei.

With peach blossoms on her face, Jiang Xiaomei blushed and gave Gao Jiu a resentful look.

Gao Jiu laughed, and said, "Okay! Let's hold the wedding ceremony for the fourth master and sister Xuemei today. In the future, we will marry each of you a wife, haha!.

When Zhang Quan saw Wang Sanniang, he deliberately said: "The big boss, after finishing the wedding for the fourth boss, it's time to hold a wedding for Wang Sanniang and Feng Xiucai, or let them get married with the fourth boss. Ha ha!"

Guo Hengming smiled and said: "I think it's okay, what the second leader said makes sense." With the continuous victories, Taohua Village became more and more prosperous, and his temperament became more and more cheerful now, and he also joked with Wang Sanniang .

A red cloud also flew up on Wang Sanniang's face, and she stared at Zhang Quan and said, "Second boss, you bastard with no words, just make fun of my old lady, see if I don't tear your mouth apart." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pinch Zhang Quan.Zhang Quan hurriedly dodged, and everyone laughed together.

After a big victory, everyone was beaming, and soon after hearing the news, people in the cottage all went down the mountain to welcome the special forces team back in triumph.

Peach Blossom Cottage held its first wedding since the establishment of the cottage. The wedding was very lively, and the whole cottage was full of joy.

After the wedding, Gao Jiu held a joint meeting with the leaders of Taohuashan, Chief of Staff Liu of the New 187th Division, Wang Zhankui, Head of the New 24th Regiment, Jiang Xiaomei, Commander of the Independent Battalion, and Yang Jiong, Political Commissar.

Today's new 187th Division controls Zhiyuan County and Lanxi County.

Gaojiu's Taohuashan controlled the surrounding areas of Taohuashan and had a great influence on Shoucheng County.

The Independent Battalion not only has a core force of more than [-] people in the Independent Battalion itself, but their influence has grown to [-] or [-] villages, and they have established several district squads and numerous militia organizations, which have a significant impact on Pingyue County force.

The combination of the three can have a huge impact on the situation in Southwest Shandong.

This meeting discussed matters related to the joint operations of the three companies, and agreed to maintain contact and exchange information in peacetime.Whenever there is a war, when any one family cannot support itself, the other two must do their best to rescue them.

If any one has a suitable battle plan, the three can also take joint action.When materials are in short supply, the three companies should support each other as much as possible.

They then worked on a specific set of joint operations details.

After several months of hard work, Peach Blossom Village has finally gained a firm foothold in Southwest Shandong.

After the joint Xi meeting, Chief of Staff Liu and Wang Zhankui bid farewell and left.Before leaving, Wang Yuling, three members of the Taohuashan guerrillas and a soldier selected by the Independent Battalion followed them to Zhiyuan County, and then went to Wuhan to find Lin Yanni to learn radio reporting technology.

Gao Jiu asked Wang Yuling to tell Jia Liu, who was recuperating in Wuhan, not to come back when he recovered from his injury, and to learn radio reporting technology with Wang Yuling and others.

Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong also left.

Chief of Staff Liu came back from Lu County this time and brought back a large amount of supplies. Wang Jindong was also very generous this time. The supplies were worth at least 20 oceans. A generator and some car batteries came.

They seized some Japanese weapons and ammunition from Lu County.They have their own weapons and ammunition supply system. They don't need these weapons and ammunition. They keep the weapons for display of combat results and send all the ammunition over.In addition, they also gave Gao Jiu all the unused ammunition they brought out this time, including 46000 rounds of Hanyang-made rifle bullets. Gao Jiu also gave these rifle bullets to the Independence Camp .

Before leaving, Gao Jiu personally went down the mountain to send Jiang Xiaomei and others off.

On the way, Gao Jiu said: "In the future, the combat direction of the independent battalion should avoid the Jizheng Highway as much as possible, and avoid fighting with large Japanese troops. scale conflicts. As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke, try not to take the initiative to attack them.

Your combat direction is mainly in the direction of Yu County, fight more small battles to train the troops, and seize materials and equipment to strengthen the family background of the troops.The main force will maintain the current scale. If the supply of materials is tight, the large force can be temporarily dispersed and enriched into district teams or even militia organizations.But the main force must not be less than 200 people. If you have any difficulties, please send a telegram at any time. I will support you as much as possible. "

Gao Jiu nagged Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong was naturally very grateful, but Jiang Xiaomei was a little bit in the mood.When parting, she looked at Gao Jiu affectionately, her eyes were full of reluctance, and there was also a little bit of resentment.

In the days to come, Gao Jiu planned to temporarily suspend external operations and concentrate on doing a good job in internal affairs, especially the special forces training.

The Wuhan battle is about to start. After the war begins, there will be many difficult tasks waiting for the Taohuashan guerrillas to complete.

After breakfast that day, accompanied by Zhang Quan and Geng Hua, Gao Jiu, Liang Baoguo and Yue Lin inspected the defensive positions around Taohua Mountain.

With Taohua Cave as the center, the Taohuashan guerrillas established a three-layer defense system.On the first floor, six surveillance posts were set up on the main mountain passages throughout the Taohua Mountains, and each surveillance post had two guards. They were only responsible for providing information about the entry of the Japanese and puppet troops into the mountain.

On the second floor, defensive positions are set up on the 4 hills around Taohua Cave. These defensive positions are usually composed of 6 players. After the battle starts, a large number of people will be added for defense.

The defensive position is usually equipped with 2 machine guns, a mortar, and stores a large amount of ammunition.

Among the materials Gao Jiu purchased from Germany this time were some German-made anti-aircraft machine guns. He planned to deploy them on these defensive positions in the future.

The location chosen for these defensive positions can not only control the entry into the valley on the mountain where Taohua Cave is located, but also defend against the Japanese and puppet troops climbing up from behind the mountain.Gao Jiu and the others are now inspecting these defensive positions on the top of the hill.

Gao Jiu and the others climbed up a hill to the south of Taohua Cave, and saw the fortifications built on the top of the hill.These fortifications are very ingeniously set up, mainly relying on the topography of the mountain itself, built in the grooves of the protruding parts of the rocks, not only sheltering from wind and rain, but most importantly, able to resist the enemy's aerial bombing.

Preventing air strikes is an important part of the defense function of defensive positions proposed by Gao Jiu.

Airplanes and aerial bombs are very precious, and the Japanese devils are reluctant to use them except for the main combat direction.Regardless of the little Taohuashan guerrillas, one day they will annoy the Japanese devils, and they may send planes to carry out bombing.

The defensive position is reinforced with reinforced concrete, and there is enough space for the team members to rest, and a kitchen is also set up to cook by themselves.

In addition, there are a lot of stones piled up in every dangerous place on the top of the mountain. These stones were collected from various places on the mountain as training subjects when the special forces members trained to climb the mountain.To deal with the enemy attacking the mountain, sometimes the rolling wood thunder stone is better than the gun.

Not only that, some simple fortifications were also built on the top of the mountain. These fortifications were usually left unattended. After the battle started, they would be used according to the direction of the enemy attacking the mountain.

These fortifications were designed by Liang Baoguo and Yue Lin. After Gao Jiu inspected them, he commended them.

The third layer of defense system is the hilltop where Taohua Cave is located and the fortifications of Taohua Cave itself.The terrain here is so favorable that it doesn't take much effort to build it, but a simple modification can make it more comfortable for the guerrillas who use these terrains.

With these three layers of defense system, coupled with the powerful firepower of Taohuashan, Gao Jiu is confident that even if the enemy comes to a regiment, he doesn't have to worry about being unable to defend.The worst result is that all the surrounding defensive positions are lost, and finally retreat to Taohua Cave. As long as there is enough food and grass inside, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack.

On the way down the mountain, Geng Hua said: "Jiuye, after these defensive positions are completed, the guards will be short of manpower, do you think we should expand them?"

Zhang Quan also said: "I think what Geng Hua said makes sense. The number of guards is too small. There are 50 people in total. If they are stationed in the defensive position, there will be no one at home to stand guard at the gate. Now we There is enough food and military pay in the cottage, let’s recruit some more.”

Gao Jiu felt that what they said made sense. There were few people in the cottage, and special forces members sometimes needed to participate in the construction of the cottage, which affected the training time.Some special forces members were killed or injured in this battle, and there was a shortage of manpower to supplement them.If a large-scale guard force can be maintained, it can perform various duties in the cottage and ensure that the special forces can concentrate on training.At the same time, once the special forces have casualties, they can select personnel from the guards to supplement them.

Gao Jiu said: "You are right, let's recruit some more, and I think it will expand to 120 people. The second in charge, you will be responsible for this matter."

"Great!" Zhang Quan and the others were very happy, especially Geng Hua, who had a very difficult life in normal times. In addition to the normal sentry, he also had to send someone to escort the purchasing personnel out of the mountain. He simply doesn't have that many people.From now on, his guard team will suddenly have 120 people, and he will be much more prestigious as the captain.

After returning to Peach Blossom Cave, Zhang Quan and Geng Hua came to find Feng Xiucai, wanting to withdraw part of the ocean and send people out to recruit troops.

Feng Xiucai shook his head like a rattle, pulling Zhang Quan and Geng Hua to find Gao Jiu.
