The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 251 Weird and tragic night
As night fell, Zhang Quan received a telegram from Gao Jiu, saying that the main force of the Japanese army had left Pingyue County and headed towards Majia'ao Village, asking him to pay attention to safety and not to be surrounded by the Japanese army.

When Zhang Quan heard that the devil's army was coming, he could not continue to adopt the tactics of monitoring the enemy from all sides, so he informed the team members in the west to evacuate and return to Taohua Mountain to monitor the enemy.

Zhang Quan decided to take the team members to fight and retreat, harass the lagging Japanese army, and wait for Gao Jiu to lead the reinforcements to arrive.

After Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Zhang Quan, he felt something strange: the Japanese army left Pingyue County in the evening and headed towards Taohuashan. Could it be that they wanted to fight against the Taohuashan guerrillas at night?
The Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain, and it was even more inconvenient to fight at night with large troops. What were they going to do in Majia'ao Village at this time?Could it be that they are going to spend the night there and attack Taohua Mountain after dawn?

The actions of the Japanese army were weird from the very beginning, and there were always some things that made Gao Jiu feel unreasonable.

However, due to the overwhelming army approaching Taohuashan, Gao Jiu only cared about the safety of Taohuashan at this time, so his eyes were limited to how the Japanese army attacked Taohuashan.

He believed that it was reasonable for the Japanese army to do so. After all, Pingyue County was still tens of miles away from Peach Blossom Mountain. If they gathered around Majia'ao Village and set off tomorrow morning, they could enter Peach Blossom Mountain in the morning.

Gao Jiu felt that this was a fighter opportunity, so he decided to attack Majia'ao Village at night to disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment.

Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and Jiang Xiaomei respectively led the troops towards Majia'ao Village.

In the battle plan of the Japanese army, the infantry brigade at Yamaguchi acted as a decoy. They took the lead in attacking Majia'ao Village near Taohua Mountain, in order to attract the enemy's attention and cover the main force of the 128th Brigade to attack Wang Jindong's new 187th Division. .

His second task was to defend Majia'ao Village until the battle in the direction of Zhiyuan County started, and then withdraw to Pingyue County and stand by for help.

After the Japanese troops of the Yamaguchi Brigade expanded the defensive area, they began to dig trenches on the ground.The devil soldiers are well-trained. In order to prevent the enemy's snipers, they lie on the ground tightly, dig the soft soil in the wheat field, and then pile it in front of themselves. They first dug a shallow pit and buried their bodies Hidden in, and then continued to dig. As the pits under them got deeper and deeper, they could gradually squat down to dig, and slowly bend down to dig, until finally they could stand up.

After completing the individual bunkers, the devils began to dig horizontally, connecting with each other to form a trench.

The special forces members of Taohuashan knew that the Japanese army was digging trenches, but they couldn't see anyone, and they had nothing to do with them.

At midnight, the Yamaguchi Brigade had established a relatively solid defensive position within a radius of 500 meters.Yamaguchi went into the trenches, inspected the fortifications, and praised the soldiers for their hard work.

Japan's **** education is somewhat similar to pyramid schemes, and it has a strong inciting force. The soldiers were praised by the captain, and all the fatigue was swept away as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Seeing that the morale of the troops is still high, Yamaguchi has full confidence to hold the village until he receives the order to retreat.

At this time, he didn't know whether he could attract the enemy's main force to come to the siege. Before the fortifications were repaired, he was worried that the enemy would appear.When the trenches were dug, he began to look forward to the appearance of the enemy.

It really didn't disappoint him. At one o'clock in the morning, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and Jiang Xiaomei all rushed to Majia'ao Village.

Yamaguchi is very clear about the entire battle plan. He now admires the planner Hamada Yoshihito very much, and the enemy is really fooled.

Gao Jiu and others came to Majia'ao Village, and Zhang Quan reported to him the combat situation in the previous stage.

Gao Jiu did not start deploying combat operations immediately. He was waiting for news from the main force of the 115th Wing of the Japanese Army.

The investigators of the Special Forces rode fast horses around Majia'ao Village and headed towards Pingyue County to search.Strangely, they marched towards Pingyue County all the way, but they did not find the main force of the Japanese army. They had to continue to search and advance, and they were almost at Pingyue County, but they still did not see the main force of the 115th Regiment of the Japanese Army. figure.

The scouts left some people to continue to monitor the direction of Pingyue County, and sent people back to report to Gao Jiu.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese 128th Brigade and the Japanese 115th Wing were approaching Zhiyuan County from the northeast.

Jinan.

After Xu Zhongming received the news that the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army had gone south to Xuzhou, he did not send a telegram to Gao Jiu. It was not entirely out of his subjective judgment. He believed that this matter had little to do with Gao Jiu, so he did not notify Gao Jiu. of.

The Jinan Station of the Military Command also has its own difficulties. Whenever the large Japanese troops are in action, that is when the Japanese special high school is most vigilant. They will send radio direction-finding vehicles to move around the city. Every telegram increases the risk of exposure.

In order to report the news to Gao Jiu last time, the Jinan station of the military command lost a contact point and four military command agents, and even Zhou Mingshan was in danger.

It was late at night, and Zhou Mingshan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He believed that the Japanese 115th Regiment that besieged Taohuashan was after all a part of the Japanese 128th Brigade. The mountain guerrillas competed, and always felt that something was wrong.

He and Xu Zhongming had discussed this issue. Xu Zhongming felt that there was no problem with the Japanese army's deployment in this way. They used an infantry regiment to deal with the Taohuashan guerrillas.

In anyone's eyes, even if an infantry regiment of thousands of Japanese soldiers could not completely wipe out the Taohuashan guerrillas with only a hundred combat troops, it would not take long to drive them out of Taohuashan.Therefore, they will not delay their trip to the south.

Zhou Mingshan also thought that what Xu Zhongming said was reasonable, even though he knew Gao Jiu's combat effectiveness, he didn't think Gao Jiu could deal with an entire infantry regiment of the Japanese army at the same time, not to mention the cooperation of the local Japanese and puppet troops.Therefore, he also agreed with Xu Zhongming's opinion.

Zhou Mingshan was lying on the bed, looking at the moonlight coming in from the window, the moonlight was like water, peaceful and serene, but his heart could not calm down.

Suddenly he thought of a question, sat up all of a sudden, thought carefully for a while, then put on his clothes, and went to find Xu Zhongming.

The Jinan underground party has been paying attention to the situation in Southwest Shandong. Since the 115th Japanese Army Regiment was besieging Taohuashan, they also paid attention to the situation of the Japanese 128th Brigade related to this regiment.When Tai'an's underground party organization reported that the Japanese 128th Brigade did not get off in Tai'an, but continued to go south, it also attracted their attention.After analysis, they also couldn't figure out the real intention of the Japanese army, and believed that the Japanese army went south to join the battle in Wuhan.

But this incident, after all, is related to the Japanese 115th Regiment that encircled Taohuashan, and they also planned to notify Gao Jiu.

Today's Jinan underground party is facing much greater difficulties than the military-controlled Jinan Station.After taking office, Toichiro Sakai, chief of the Special High Section of the Japanese Gendarmerie Command, intensified his crackdown on the underground anti-Japanese organizations in Jinan.The underground party has suffered heavy losses in recent times. Two secret contact stations have been destroyed by the Japanese army in a row, and the loss of the radio station has been particularly serious.It turns out that the Jinan underground party organization has three radio stations in total. Last time, they lost one radio station in order to inform Gao Jiu.Not long ago, a secret contact station of the underground party was cracked by the super high class, and another radio station was lost.Today, there is only one radio station left in the hands of the underground party organization.

Just yesterday afternoon, an important electronic tube on this radio station was damaged, and they couldn't send a telegram even if they wanted to.

Radio equipment, like weapons and ammunition, medicine and other materials, is a strategic material strictly controlled by the Japanese army, and it is very difficult to get it.The underground party tried their best to obtain a dilapidated and scrapped radio station from a factory owner, removed an electronic tube from it, and sent it to the underground party's contact station at midnight.

The person in charge of the underground party decided to take the risk of sending this information to John Chen and asked him to report it to Gao Jiu.

In order to send this telegram, the underground party decided to take a risky action.

Gao Hong, the captain of the anti-rape team, led four members to ambush in an alley on Gulou West Street, waiting for the Japanese radio station to pass by.

At 1:30 in the morning, the underground party sent a telegram to John Chen. The location of the telegram was on a small number of T-shaped streets unique to Jinan City. If the Japanese army’s radio direction-finding vehicle wanted to find the location locked by the radio station, it must enter this place from the T-shaped intersection. street.

The ghost soldiers were very professional, and they drove the radio station car to patrol the streets in the middle of the night. Behind the radio direction-finding car, there was a military truck with a squad of Japanese military police on it.

There are so many enemies, Gao Hong and others only have five people in total, they know that there are so many enemies, why don't they come with more team members?It's not that they don't want to come more, it's that they don't.

It is very difficult to train an enemy worker. Even ordinary members of the action team must have a legal identity as a cover in Jinan City.It is very difficult to develop an underground staff, but in the struggle between the enemy and ourselves, it is easy to suffer losses.This is almost all the manpower that Gao Hong can mobilize at present.

It is said that actions such as destroying the enemy's radio sidecar should be arranged in advance.There is not enough manpower in the city, so we can temporarily mobilize guerrillas from outside the city and enter the city to act together.But not today, the underground party thought it was necessary to send this telegram.

Sending a telegram is not that simple. It doesn’t mean that you send the telegram with a flick of a finger, and it’s over.You have to make sure that the other party can receive it.

Unless there is a specific time and specific channel agreed in advance to receive, it is possible to let the other party receive it in a short time.There was also an agreed time between the underground party and John Chen, but it was not at this time.They had to call repeatedly until John Chen replied.

For such a long period of radio activity, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the enemy.

Seeing the enemy's direction-finding radio approaching, Gao Hong first shot at the cab of the radio direction-finding vehicle, killing the driver of the Japanese army and forcing the radio direction-finding vehicle to stop.Four team members held 20 rounds of shell guns and shot at the Japanese soldiers on the truck!
There were 13 Japanese soldiers in the compartment of the truck, and three Japanese soldiers in the cab. For a while, the guerrillas could not completely eliminate them, and the living Japanese soldiers immediately launched a counterattack.The devils on the radio direction finding car were also equipped with bastard boxes, and they also shot at the guerrillas from the car windows or doors.

The key task of Gao Hong and others was to blow up the enemy's radio direction-finding vehicle. Since they could not plant explosives in advance, they could only temporarily try to use grenades to blow up the radio direction-finding vehicle.

Under the cover of the team members, Gao Hong threw a grenade towards the side of the radio station. The grenade was thrown on the direction-finding vehicle of the radio station, bounced to the ground, and rolled to one side. Although there was a violent explosion, it could not be destroyed. Radio direction finding vehicle.

Gao Hong threw a grenade again, this time he changed the method, and threw the grenade under the radio direction-finding vehicle. He hoped that the grenade would explode there and destroy the radio direction-finding vehicle.However, he couldn't grasp the strength in a hurry. The road under the car was a hard asphalt road. The grenade passed the bottom of the side car of the radio station, but rolled out from the other end, and still did not blow up the side car of the radio station. .

The fierce fighting soon alarmed the devil's patrol team, and a large number of devils surrounded in this direction.

Gao Hong was impatient, he rushed out suddenly, he approached the enemy's radio station sideways car, and threw a grenade through the car window.The side vehicle of the radio station was completely destroyed in the violent explosion.But Gao Hong was shot twice and fell to the ground.

Just then, a large number of devils arrived.

The underground party agents in charge of the cover saw that the mission had been completed, so they wanted to rescue Gao Hong who had fallen on the ground. As a result, two more team members were shot and fell to the ground, and the remaining two team members had to retreat hastily.

The Japanese Gendarmerie Command only had two radio lateral vehicles. This battle destroyed the enemy radio lateral vehicles, killed several Japanese radio listeners and some ordinary soldiers, and achieved considerable results.

However, the loss was also heavy. Two agents of the underground party died. Although Gao Hong was not hit by the bullet, he was captured by the enemy.

The telegram was finally sent out, and John Chen also received a reply.

What Zhou Mingshan wants to do is the same as that of the underground party.

Zhou Mingshan found Xu Zhongming and woke him up from his sleep.He said: "Station Master, the actions of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army are very suspicious. Didn't our intelligence officers provide the information that the 114th Division of the Japanese Army is about to go south to join the battle in Wuhan? But this matter is a bit unreasonable.

The Japanese army in Shandong was short of troops. The 114th regiment was specially transported from Shanghai to strengthen the Shandong area. Why did they leave Shandong in a hurry and go south again?Does the Japanese army have no other troops to withdraw?
There is another situation, even if the 114th Division is about to be transferred, why is there no information that other Japanese troops are coming to defend?
The 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army is indeed going south, but the rest of the 114th Division seems to have no movement. Why is this?

When Xu Zhongming heard this, he couldn't understand it. He asked, "What is the Japanese army's plan? What do you think?"

Zhou Mingshan said: "Since the Japanese army sent the 128th Regiment of the 115th Brigade to encircle Brother Gao's Peach Blossom Mountain, the actions of the 128th Brigade should be related to this matter. If it doesn’t please you, we don’t understand this matter, so why not inform Brother Gao of the news. Brother Gao has great powers, maybe he can figure out the real intention of the Japanese army.”

Xu Zhongming thought what he said was reasonable and agreed with Zhou Mingshan's opinion.

As for how to send telegrams safely, they also made the same plan as the underground party.They called Li Xikun, the captain of the action team, and asked him to try to intercept and blow up the enemy's radio side vehicle while sending a telegram.

Just as the military command was preparing to act, gunshots and explosions were heard in Jinan City.Xu Zhongming decisively ordered to take advantage of the confusion and send a telegram to Gao Jiu.

On Taohua Mountain in Gaojiu, there was a radio station on duty at any time, and they received the telegram very quickly.After receiving the telegram, they forwarded the content of the telegram to Gao Jiu.

After John Chen received the telegram, he also sent a telegram with the same content to Gao Jiu.

However, Gao Jiu was unable to see the two telegrams in time.

Gao Jiu and others arrived outside the village of Majia'ao Village, waiting for the dispatched scouts to hear news of the main force of the 115th Regiment.

At one o'clock in the morning, a member of the Special Forces flew over and reported to Gao Jiu a piece of information that surprised him.
