The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 263 Reinforcement

The Japanese troops responsible for outflanking Han Zhihao and others were members of the Nakajima advance team, and Nakajima Jiro also personally led a small team to find the way up the mountain.Not long after Gao Jiu and the others left, they finally found the mountain that the two sides had repeatedly fought over.At this time, except for a dozen corpses of Japanese soldiers on the top of the mountain, the anti-Japanese army had already disappeared.

The devils at the bottom of the hill were frightened by the sudden blow, and they were still slowly preparing to attack at the bottom of the hill. When they saw the figure of Nakajima Jiro on the top of the hill, they stood up and climbed up the hill.

Nakajima Jiro was very surprised. It turned out that when he was at the bottom of the mountain, he used a telescope to carefully observe the situation on the mountain. At that time, the anti-Japanese army was already surrounded by the Japanese army on the mountainside.He didn't understand why such a sudden change occurred.

I saw the Japanese squadron leader with a bandage on his head coming over.He stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Shanxia, ​​how did the Chinar escaped? Did the enemy come for reinforcements?"

The captain of the Yamashita Squadron said with some horror: "Mr. Nakajima, some people in black clothes came from somewhere. Their marksmanship is accurate, they can run fast on the hillside, and they can throw grenades 100 meters away. It caused heavy casualties to our army. It was they who raided the Yellow Army warriors on the top of the mountain and rescued the Chinarians."

"The people in black, who are they?" Nakajima Jiro said to himself while thinking.

Squadron leader Yamashita knew a little bit of Chinese, he said: "After those men in black came, they only cheered up. They called the name Jiuye."

"Jiuye, Jiuye? Jiuye. Taohuashan Gaojiu? Could it be him?" Nakajima Jiro opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He is also very interested in Gao Jiu, and wants to compete with him.He collected a lot of information about Gao Jiu, and he knew that the common people called Gao Jiu Master Jiu.Based on the battlefield situation provided by Squadron Captain Yamashita, Nakajima Jiro can basically determine that this person is Gao Jiu.

Nakajima Jiro was very excited. He immediately took half a small team of Japanese soldiers he brought up and chased after Gao Jiu and others in the direction of retreat.

Not long after, Nakajima Jiro met another Japanese army that had outflanked Ouyang Xue and others from the river beach earlier.

Nakajima Jiro asked: "Did the one only catch women?"

The team leader told Nakajima Jiro what he saw by the river, Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue fell into the river.

Nakajima Jiro can now be [-]% sure that that person is Gao Jiu.He is very excited now, that woman is not important to him.If Gao Jiu can be caught or killed, he will become a superhero in the minds of the Japanese.

He said emotionally: "Do you know who that nasty guy is? He is the notorious Gao Jiu. He killed many warriors of our Yellow Army. He is a vicious jackal.

Warriors!Let's catch up and destroy this nasty guy! "

The soldiers of Nakajima's army won major victories one after another to capture the Daqinghe Bridge and the Han Ferry Ferry. They were full of confidence and felt that there was no enemy in the world that they could not defeat.At this time, they were in the same mood as Nakajima Jiro, and they all hoped to find a more powerful enemy to compete with.

Hearing what Nakajima Jiro said, the officers and soldiers of the advance team seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. They didn't seem to feel tired after walking the mountain road for so long.

They all asked Nakajima Jiro to give orders to chase after Gao Jiu and his Taohuashan special team.

Gao Jiu led Han Zhihao and others to evacuate, and it was inevitable that Han Zhihao and the soldiers of the national army would leave some traces.Jiro Nakajima asked a few soldiers who were good at tracking to lead the way, and chased after Gao Jiu and the others in the direction they were retreating.

After Gao Jiu and the others came down from the mountain, they climbed up another hillside and stopped to rest in a bush.

Gao Jiu said, "Set up a radio station."

Li Shengdong took off the radio from his back, and Gao Jiu sent several telegrams in succession.

Zhiyuan County.

Wang Jindong and others had just repelled an enemy attack, and the 187th Division lost more than 400 officers and soldiers, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was a little low.

The new 187th Division has just been formed, and most of them are recruits.The reason why they were able to repel the attack of the well-equipped, well-trained, and experienced Japanese army all relied on Wang Jindong's painstaking efforts.

Wang Jindong has built a large number of strong fortifications in Zhiyuan County for such a long time.A cave for Tibetan soldiers was dug in each trench, which was covered with thick planks and covered with a thick layer of soil, which was enough to resist the 128-type infantry artillery with the largest caliber equipped by the Japanese [-]th Brigade. Direct bombing.

Between the trenches, many traffic trenches were dug to facilitate the movement of troops.In many areas, there are also strong firepower points built with reinforced concrete.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Wang Jindong has hoarded a lot of ammunition over the years.The officers and soldiers of the national army didn't need to save ammunition, they shot desperately when they saw the devils rushing up.The fierce firepower suppressed the attack of the devils, and they barely held their positions.

The head of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army, Obaufu, was an experienced general. He not only bombarded the positions of the national army, but also fired into the county from time to time. He wanted to create panic in the county and shake the confidence of the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

Wang Jindong is also an experienced old army. He has already organized a temporary military police team to patrol around the city to maintain law and order in the city.

The people of the observation group and the press group have been moved to the basement under the clock tower in the city.They have heard almost all the bad news: the Qinghe Bridge was bombed, the Han Ferry Ferry was controlled by the enemy, Lanxi County was lost, Linchuan Town and Qinglong Town were lost.Wang Jindong's 187th Division has now been besieged in Zhiyuan County.

Of course, including them, all of them are now trapped in the county.

Everyone was worried, and it was inevitable that they panicked.Especially the reporters of the press corps, their emotions were a little agitated.Now they have regretted very much why they stayed in Zhiyuan County in the first place.

Ouyang Xue used to be a member of the press corps. Her outstanding appearance and elegant temperament left a deep impression on the reporters.At this moment, they have noticed that Ouyang Xue is not here.Moreover, even Zhao Jie, who was with her in the picture, never showed up. They asked the leader of the reporter group with concern.

Among these people, only Director Zhou of the Political Department knew about Ouyang Xue being secretly escorted away.When the leader of the reporter team asked him this question, he followed the pre-prepared statement and said that Ouyang Xue and Zhao Jie were arranged to go to Lanxi County for an interview, and their whereabouts are unknown now.

In fact, in Director Zhou's mind, Ouyang Xue and the others were really missing.It is conceivable that the Han Ferry Ferry has now been occupied by the Japanese, and Ouyang Xue and others must have thrown themselves into the trap when they went there.

He also blamed himself a little, when he was in Nanyang, he shouldn't have agreed to bring Ouyang Xue to Zhiyuan County.

The reporters heard that Ouyang Xue and Zhao Jie had gone to Lanxi County, which has now been occupied by devils.It is conceivable that they must be in danger.

Thinking of Ouyang Xue and the others' situation, the reporters sympathized with their situation, while secretly rejoicing.For a moment, their emotions seemed to be comforted.

But after a short time, they began to worry about their situation again.They knew that once Zhiyuan County was captured by the Japanese army, their fate would be the same as Ouyang Xue and others.These reporters can be regarded as war reporters and have seen the world, but they have always followed the national army and have never tried to be in such a dangerous situation.The reporters talked a lot, hoping that the officers and soldiers of the 187th Division could defend the county, and at the same time urged Director Zhou to send a telegram to Wuhan, asking Shangfeng to send reinforcements to rescue Zhiyuan County.

They also used their connections one after another to let the rear put pressure on the national army and send reinforcements to rescue them as soon as possible.

The reporters wrote a lot of distress letters, and even a lot of farewell letters to their families, asking Director Zhou to send these telegrams as soon as possible.Now that the war is so tense, the telecommunication room of the 187th Division is very busy, and there is no time to send out these messy telegrams.Director Zhou had no choice but to reject these reporters, so these reporters got emotional and started arguing with Director Zhou.

At this time, Chief of Staff Liu came, not only Chief of Staff Liu, but Wang Jindong also came in person.

Seeing them coming, everyone gathered around them.Director Zhou asked anxiously: "Mr. Wang, how is the situation? The position is not lost, right?"

With a smile on his face, Wang Jindong said, "Don't worry, everyone! My 187th Division has been in business for many years, has solid fortifications, and sufficient ammunition. If the little devil wants to break through my 187th Division's position, he will take his life Fill it in. Don’t worry, my 187th Division will definitely defend the county.”

The colonel leading the team from the Ninth Theater said worriedly: "The county is besieged, and there are no reinforcements outside. It is not an option to continue like this."

"Yes, without reinforcements, how can we get out of the siege?" The reporters said one after another.

Wang Jindong smiled and said, "I'm here now to tell everyone a good news. We not only have reinforcements, but also very powerful reinforcements."

Having said that, in order to create a relaxed atmosphere, Wang Jindong even played tricks.

The reporters and observers asked one after another, "Where did the reinforcements come from?"

Wang Jindong was a little proud. He showed the posture of holding a press conference, and said very imposingly: "Ladies and gentlemen! You have already completed the task of interviewing, why do you want to stay?"

Everyone suddenly understood that they stayed here to observe the progress of the Japanese army's siege of Taohuashan Gao Jiu, and the reinforcements Wang Jindong was talking about were naturally Gao Jiu.

The colonel leading the team from the fifth theater said first: "Is it Gao Jiu's guerrillas from Taohuashan? Aren't they besieged in Taohuashan?"

Everyone also cast doubtful eyes on Wang Jindong.

Wang Jindong said with a smile: "Just because the little devil still wants to besiege Brother Gao? Let me tell you some good news. The little devil sent a brigade to besiege Brother Gao's Peach Blossom Mountain, and they were all wiped out by Brother Gao in one night. That's a whole 1000 Japanese devils."

"Okay, okay!" Everyone burst into warm applause, and the atmosphere in the basement suddenly became lively, and the cloud that shrouded people's hearts seemed to dissipate.

Wang Jindong said happily: "Don't worry! Now, my brother Gao has brought the main force of his Taohuashan, the cavalry battalion of the head of the 24th regiment of our department, and the independent battalion in the south of Shandong. Now it is near the county seat. .Now everyone can rest assured?!"

Hearing that Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas had come to the outskirts of Zhiyuan County with such a powerful combat force, everyone's hearts suddenly settled down.They didn't even ask, how many people are there in Taohuashan Shishan guerrillas?Because this question is not important, the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas are now fighting devils, as long as they make a move, they will wipe out a whole brigade of devils.

Although a whole brigade of devils came outside, they could not exceed ten brigades in total, and they would be wiped out in a short time.

In fact, the accounts are not calculated in this way. During a war, the combined combat effectiveness of two brigades of devils is not 1+1=2, at least it can reach the ability of three brigades fighting alone.However, in the hearts of people at this time, thinking like this is hoping to be comforted.

Wang Jindong knew that the observation group and the reporter group were very powerful, and he didn't want these people to mess up, which would cause him a lot of trouble.In order to appease them thoroughly, Wang Jindong said: "Everyone can rest assured that Brother Gao and I have already contacted each other, and we have already made a careful combat deployment. It will not take long to repel the attack of the devils and lift their siege of the county. .”

What he said was true, the reason why he came here was because Gao Jiu sent him a telegram.

The battle plan proposed by Gao Jiu is that since the ferry and bridge are impassable, the 187th Division must rely on its own strength to defeat the Japanese 128th Brigade.

Today, although the newly formed 187th Division is surrounded by the county seat, it has a huge force, sufficient ammunition, and supplies of food and other materials to last for more than half a year.As long as you can firmly hold on to the county seat and use strong fortifications to continuously consume the Japanese army, you can win this battle.

Although the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army is strong, they have a big flaw: they are long-distance raids, and the amount of food and ammunition they carry is limited, and they cannot be replenished on the spot.Therefore, their offensive cannot last.

Gao Jiu plans to send people to cut off the material supply line of the Japanese 128th Brigade, and at the same time harass the Japanese army on the periphery of the battlefield, looking for opportunities to annihilate small groups of Japanese troops, and constantly consume them.It won't be long before the Japanese army will run out of ammunition and food, and in the end, they can only be forced to evacuate.At that time, the 187th Division, with the cooperation of Gao Jiu and others, will hunt down the Japanese army. If there is no accident, a great victory will be achieved.

Now Wang Jindong is very at ease in his heart and feels so relaxed.

After appeasing everyone's emotions, Wang Jindong revealed his second purpose for coming here, and he invited the observation group to the war room of the division headquarters.

On the way, Director Zhou asked worriedly: "Is there any news about Miss Ouyang?"

Wang Jindong smiled and said: "It's not convenient for me to say in front of everyone just now, but now I can tell you some good news: Miss Ouyang has now crossed the Daqing River and was escorted to Nanyang."

Director Zhou said in surprise: "That's great, otherwise, you and I would not be able to explain. Mr. Wang, you have made a great contribution this time."

Wang Jindong said with a smile: "How can I have that ability? I sent someone to escort Miss Ouyang to the ferry, but I was intercepted by the Japanese army on the way. I sent a telegram to Brother Gao, and it was Brother Gao who rescued Miss Ouyang."

Director Zhou said with emotion: "This Gao Jiu is really amazing. Mr. Wang, I really admire you. How come you have such a good friendship with Gao Jiu?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jindong was very proud, and simply told Director Zhou about his relationship with Gao Jiu.

Director Zhou said with emotion: "Mr. Wang, I still admire you very much. Being able to establish an alliance with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan shows that you have a very high strategic vision."

Wang Jindong couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

When he arrived at the war room of the division headquarters, Wang Jindong said: "Now we are all besieged in the county town. It can be said that we live and die together. Brother, I have a problem. Please help me."

Director Zhou and the two colonels led by the fifth theater and the ninth theater are smart people. They know the situation of the 187th division very well. When Wang Jindong called them, they already knew what he was going to say.

Sure enough, Wang Jindong said: "The officers at all levels of your observation regiment are all elites of our army and have rich combat experience. My 187th Division has just been formed, and the most lacking thing is excellent commanders. Now the situation is critical. Please extend your support. Help, let's get through this together."

The officers of the observation group had already discussed this matter, and they also had this intention long ago.However, they must obey Wang Jindong's arrangement.Now, upon hearing Wang Jindong raise this question, the two colonels of the fifth theater and the ninth theater both expressed their willingness to obey Wang Jindong's arrangement.

Wang Jindong was overjoyed, and directly asked Chief of Staff Liu to take the officers to various units.

After arranging all this, Wang Jindong sat on a chair, crossed his legs easily, picked up the telegram from his wife and read it.

When Gao Jiu went to Wuhan last time, he met Wang Jindong's wife, and when he came back, he sent Wang Jindong a letter from home for his wife.

Wang Jindong's wife is Lin Yanni's best friend, and she is well aware of the close relationship between Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu.She told Wang Jindong that she had asked Lin Yanni to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking him to come to rescue Wang Jindong.

After reading the telegram, Wang Jindong said to himself: "This time the devils have been repelled, and I will go to the Lin family to propose marriage for Brother Gao Jiu."

In the bushes on the mountain beside the Daqing River, Gao Jiu finished sending the telegram and was about to leave.

Han Zhihao and the others also left with Gao Jiu and the others.Now there are Japanese troops all around here, and it would be very bad for them to stay here. Only by following Gao Jiu and the others can they have any hope of survival.

But Gao Jiu didn't mean to take them away. Now Han Zhihao's subordinates including himself, there are 22 people left in total.Their submachine guns have run out of bullets, and they have picked up some [-]-type rifles, but there are not enough bullets, and they are not used to using [-]-guns for a while, and their combat effectiveness is weak.The most important thing was that they didn't have horses, so Gao Jiu couldn't take them on a fast march.

Gao Jiu still had a lot of important things to do, so he pondered for a while and didn't speak.

Seeing Gao Jiu hesitate, Han Zhihao and others looked at him eagerly, worried that he would leave them behind.

Gao Jiu thought for a while and said, "This place is indeed dangerous. If you want to get out of danger, I hope you can obey my orders."

Han Zhihao and the others hurriedly said, "Everything is subject to Master Jiu's order."

Gao Jiu said: "I'm still going to rescue Zhiyuan County. You don't have horses, so you can't keep up with our actions. I will leave Ning Wen to lead you to the action, and you all follow Ning Wen's command."

Han Zhihao and others once again expressed their obedience to Ning Wen's command.

Gao Jiu said to Ning Wen: "You take them to continue upstream, look for villages and towns to replenish some food, choose a smaller target, destroy the local Japanese and puppet troops, and replenish some guns and ammunition.

At that time, the Japanese troops on the nearby mountains had already withdrawn.You used the night to lurk back, harass the Japanese troops at the ferry, and quickly withdraw from the battle before dawn.If you have not received new orders from me to send people, you will always carry out such battles under the condition of ensuring safety, harassing and pinning down the Japanese troops at the ferry. "

Ning Wen nodded and said, "Master Jiu, I understand." Gao Jiu looked at Han Zhihao and the others, and they also expressed their obedience to Gao Jiu's arrangement.

Gao Jiu stood up and said, "That's good! Let's break up now."

Just as Han Zhihao was about to say something, Gao Jiu suddenly made a silent gesture, and then squatted down.Everyone squatted down together.

Gao Jiu listened for a while, and said, "The devil is here."
