The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 319 Frightened to hear the wind
Gao Hong was born in the underground party and has rich experience in underground work. He served as the captain of the anti-rape team and was good at leading small troops to carry out tasks such as assassinations and sneak attacks.Li Qiang was born as an ordinary farmer, and compared to Gao Hong, he was still a little lacking.At this time, the level of combat effectiveness of the Ruifeng Mountain guerrilla team was about the same as when Jiang Xiaomei and the others had just expanded to a hundred people, or even slightly worse, because Jiang Xiaomei's guerrilla team had been fighting with Gao Jiu since its establishment, and learned from him. With a lot of military common sense and guerrilla tactics, the county brigade, which started with a dozen people, has now grown into an independent battalion with strong combat effectiveness.

Both Gao Hong and Li Qiang hope that Gao Jiu can take them out to fight, learn military command experience from him, and improve the overall strength of the Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas.
level of combat effectiveness.

Hearing Gao Jiu's question, Gao Hong and Li Qiang knew that Gao Jiu had agreed to their request, and they were very happy.

Li Qiang is more familiar with the enemy situation in this area. He said: "Jiuye, I don't know which target is more suitable. I will tell you about the situation of the devils and puppet troops that I know. You can help choose one."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "Call all your backbones, let's discuss together, and help them improve their technical and tactical levels, as well as their organizational and leadership skills."

"Hey, Master Jiu, you're still thoughtful." Li Qiang said happily.Then he asked the correspondent to call all the team leaders and above.

Gao Jiu never saw Fang Zhongshan, he asked, "Where is Fang Zhongshan?"

After Fang Zhongshan helped Gao Jiu rescue Gao Hong, he followed Gao Hong to Xiaowangzhuang, and waited for Gao Jiu to come to Taohua Mountain with him.

Gao Hong said: "He has an old uncle in Sangang Village not far away! I went to see him yesterday, and I should be back today."

The backbone of the guerrillas all came, and the conditions in the room were poor. Some of them sat on the kang, some sat on the long bench, and those who had no place to sit stood in the room.

Gao Hong said: "Comrades! Everyone has heard of the big victories fought by Lord Jiu. The battles fought were really wonderful. Today Lord Jiu came to us, and he has promised to take us to fight Let's learn a lot from this battle. Now, let's warmly applaud and welcome Master Jiu to give instructions."

"Huh, huh, huh." There was warm applause in the room.Most of the backbone of the guerrillas had fought with Gao Jiu, and the battle was really enjoyable at that time.Hearing that they could go to war with Gao Jiu again, everyone looked at Gao Jiu eagerly.

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Brothers! We are all old friends. We have fought together before. We can be regarded as old comrades in arms. You are also very capable. I remember that there were only about thirty guerrillas at the time. In such a In such a short period of time, you have pulled together such a large team, which is amazing."

Everyone was very happy to be praised by Gao Jiu.Li Qiang hurriedly said humbly: "If you hadn't led us to win a few battles back then, we would have learned a little bit. Otherwise, we wouldn't be where we are today."

Gao Jiu originally wanted to talk about guerrilla tactics to the backbone of the guerrilla brigade, but he suddenly found it difficult to talk about.These guerrillas are basically uneducated, and directly explaining theories to them has little effect, and must be explained in conjunction with combat examples.However, these people can't fight the battles I fought, and if I tell them about it, it might hurt them.

He thought about it carefully, and decided that instead of talking about these empty theories, it is better to take them to fight and explain to them while fighting, so that they will not only be easy to understand, but also be able to make a deep impression.

He said: "You are all junior commanders now. I believe that as the guerrillas grow stronger, you will have greater responsibilities in the future and serve as intermediate and senior commanders. As a commander, the most important thing is to be good at To use your brain, the most basic quality is to know yourself and your enemy.

The so-called confidant is to understand the technical and tactical level of each commander and fighter in one's own unit, including each individual's personality characteristics, to be able to understand what kind of performance they will have on the battlefield, and thus to understand the overall combat effectiveness of one's own unit When choosing combat targets, try to choose targets within your ability to avoid losses caused by recklessness, and it is easier to win.

Therefore, you should have more contact with the troops in normal times, have more heart-to-heart exchanges with the soldiers, and be familiar with them as you are familiar with yourself.

The so-called knowing the enemy is to know as much as possible about the selected combat target, not only to understand the enemy's troop deployment and the terrain environment they are in, but also to understand their equipment and training level, as well as their past experience. The combat experience formed by experience requires understanding the personality characteristics of the enemy commander and grasping the overall strength of the enemy, so that we can make accurate judgments and formulate correct campaigns and battle plans.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid of hard work. The more familiar you are with the situation of the enemy and yourself, the better.The higher the degree of knowing yourself and the enemy, the easier it is to reduce mistakes in combat.

Now, let Captain Li talk about the surrounding enemy situation, and everyone will choose an appropriate combat target based on the specific conditions of both the enemy and ourselves.

In short, this battle is up to you to fight, from target selection, pre-battle reconnaissance, formulation of battle plan, to implementation of the battle, to safe evacuation after the battle, all things are up to you, I am just a staff member Here to make suggestions for you, we are fighting wars while summing up experience and lessons. Only in this way can everyone grow up as soon as possible. "

Gao Hong said: "Comrades, Master Jiu is really considerate. This battle is guided by Master Jiu himself. This is a rare learning opportunity. Everyone must study hard, remember it carefully, and ask Master Jiu for advice. It is good to increase our ability to fight against the enemy."

Li Qiang introduced the enemy situation around the Ruifeng Mountain guerrilla brigade.Within 50 kilometers from here, there are three strongholds of Japanese and puppet troops.After everyone's discussion, the Dadongzhuang stronghold was finally chosen as the target.

The Dadongzhuang stronghold is located between Ruifeng County and Xiaowangzhuang, 42 miles away from Ruifeng County and 33 miles away from Xiaowangzhuang. There is a Xuanfu team of the Japanese army, six devils, and half a squadron of the puppet army with about 50 puppet soldiers. military.

after the target is selected.Gao Jiu decided to lead the guerrilla brigade in person, and the backbone above the squad leader went to investigate the enemy's situation. After the enemy's situation was clarified, the backbone of the guerrilla brigade would discuss together and work out an appropriate combat plan.

Gao Hong, Li Qiang and the backbone of the guerrillas were very happy. They were able to carry out a complete combat operation under the guidance of Master Jiu, which enriched their experience and improved their combat command capabilities.

Early the next morning, Gao Jiu set off with the backbone of the Ruifeng Mountain guerrilla brigade, and even Gao Hong rode in a cart to scout out the enemy's situation with them.

In order to have enough time to understand the enemy's situation, they got up early this morning, set off at 5:00 in the morning, and arrived near the Dadongzhuang stronghold at 9:30.

When they could see the gun towers in the stronghold from a distance, a guerrilla sent to attack the front station ran back, and he said with a strange expression: "Report Jiuye, the devils and puppet soldiers in the Dadongzhuang stronghold have all run away, just Even Lao Cai, the landlord in the village, ran away."

Everyone was surprised to hear this.The home of the head of the Puppet Security Force Brigade is here, so the Dadongzhuang stronghold is very solidly built, and the security force troops stationed here are also the best equipped and most powerful troops in the Ruifeng County Security Force Brigade.Moreover, because the hometown of the captain of the security force is here, if something happens here, the captain of the security force will definitely lead the brigade to come to the rescue.

With the current strength of the Ruifeng County Guerrilla Brigade, they were unable to attack the Dadongzhuang stronghold in the past. This time, they chose this place as the target because of Gao Jiu's arrival.

Unexpectedly, the devils and puppet soldiers ran away before the battle was fought.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they decided to go into the village to find out.

After arriving in the village, I asked some villagers in the village. Those who knew the situation said that the devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold heard that the Taohuashan bandit Gao Jiu might come here, and they withdrew to the county seat overnight. The family members of the head of the brigade went to the county together, and some rich landlords and Lao Cai also ran away.

Gao Jiu felt a little depressed, but the backbone of the guerrillas looked at Gao Jiu with awe.Their entire guerrilla brigade of more than 100 people did not dare to confront the Japanese and puppet troops here. Unexpectedly, they just heard that Gao Jiu might come here, and they were so frightened that they ran away.Master Jiu is so majestic, the Japanese and puppet soldiers are frightened by the news.

Gao Jiu also understood a little bit. It should be that the Japanese and puppet troops in Ruifeng County received a notification from Jinan City that they might have come here, so they withdrew their troops back to the county town.

Gao Jiu's guess was right. Although Yoshihiro Hamada decided not to deal with matters related to Gao Jiu for the time being, in his mind, Gao Jiu was a lingering demon. He remembered that after Gao Jiu left the city last time, There was a lot of commotion outside the city.So, he asked people to notify the gendarmerie in the surrounding counties to be on guard against Gao Jiu.

Seeing the situation here, Gao Jiu guessed that the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in other surrounding strongholds was similar. He said, "Captain Gao, Captain Li, send people to check the other strongholds. If this is the case, let us How should we discuss it again?"

Li Qiang arranged for people to go to other strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops for a real investigation.

At noon, the people sent to investigate came back one after another. As expected, all the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops ran into the county.

It turned out that the last time Gao Jiu led Li Qiang's district squadron to take down two strongholds of the Japanese puppet army including Yang Gezhuang, and also attacked the Taoxi River gold mine, which left a deep impression on the captain of the Ruifeng County Gendarmerie.

After receiving the notice, he went to his fellow countrymen in Jinan City to inquire about what happened in Jinan City, and learned that Gao Jiu was making trouble in Jinan City, and that there were so many devils and puppet soldiers in the city that they couldn't do anything about them. What's more, he had heard of Gao You's many deeds before. The powerful 128th Brigade was killed by others, and his small gendarmerie was no match for them.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses and at the same time strengthen the defense of the county, he notified all the surrounding strongholds and withdrew all the troops into the county.

In the county seat at this time, the Japanese gendarmerie, the security force brigade, the pseudo-police brigade, the security teams of the surrounding villages and towns, plus those landlords who fled into the city and the family guards of the rich, the number of people in the city who can mobilize to defend the city exceeds With 1000 people, the captain of the gendarmerie felt more at ease.

Gao Jiu originally wanted to lead the guerrillas to fight a small battle and explain guerrilla tactics to the backbone of the guerrillas. Unexpectedly, the devils and the puppet army did not cooperate, which disrupted Gao Jiu's plan.

Gao Jiu was angry, and he said, "In that case, let's go to the county seat."

Having said that, Gao Jiu will not act recklessly.He took the backbone of the guerrillas around the county, carefully inspected the surrounding terrain, took a good look at the attack and retreat routes, and found people in the surrounding villages who were familiar with the situation in the county. They learned about the situation in the county, and then sent a squadron leader back to bring the guerrilla brigade over.

4:20 p.m.People from the guerrilla brigade appeared outside the county seat.

The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla brigade set up their formations and were about to attack the county seat when they saw the gate of the county seat opened, and two people in plain clothes came out from inside, holding white flags in their hands, walking towards the guerrilla brigade's position come over.

These two people were quickly brought in front of Gao Jiu and the others by the guerrillas. Both of them were old people over half a century old, and they looked like country gentry in the county.An old man with a gray beard who seemed to be over 70 years old said, "Excuse me, who is the famous Gao Jiuye?"

Every time Gao Jiu met outsiders, he would put on makeup. This time he had a beard, and simple decorations on his eyebrows and eyes. He looked much older than his actual age.He said: "I am, who are you? What are you doing here?"

The two old men looked at the tall and mighty man in front of them, and they both showed a look of shock. The old man with the gray beard said: "So you are Gao Jiuye. You have heard the name for a long time, and you are like thunder. When I saw you today, you are indeed a good-looking talent." , a heroic spirit."

Gao Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't say anything polite, please just tell me the purpose of your visit."

The old man said: "Gao Jiuye, I am the principal of the No. [-] Middle School in the county, and this is the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce in Ruifeng County. You led the soldiers to the city, and the Japanese in the city also took their guns to the city wall. Once the two sides fight, it will definitely lead to bloody conflicts, and innocent people will be caught in the flames of war, which will lead to the loss of life. On behalf of the innocent people in the city, I implore Gao Jiuye to stop the war and save the people from the fire.

As the saying goes, saving a life is like building a seven-level pagoda. Now there are more than ten thousand people in the city. If the people in the city can be saved from the flames of war, this merit is not limited to the seven-level pagoda?Gao Jiuye, please..."

Gao Jiu really didn't want to deal with this sour scholar, so he interrupted him directly, and asked the president of the chamber of commerce, "You are the president of the chamber of commerce in the city, what are you doing here?"

The president of the chamber of commerce bowed his head and said, "Gao Jiuye, I was entrusted by the gentry in the city to ask Gao Jiuye to withdraw his troops. We know that your army is working very hard, and we are willing to pay money and materials for the labor."

Gao Jiu said, "The Japanese asked you to come, right?"

The president of the chamber of commerce faltered, not knowing what to say.

In fact, this matter is very obvious. It is impossible for the two of them to appear here without the consent of the Japanese.

So why did these two people appear here at this time?
It turned out that when Gao Jiu and others appeared below the city, the captain of the Japanese gendarmerie saw the anti-Japanese army coming, and hurriedly directed the Japanese and puppet troops in the city to defend the city wall. When he saw that there were only a hundred guerrillas under the city , At that time, I thought about rushing out with troops to destroy these daring anti-Japanese troops.As a result, he was dissuaded by everyone.

The captain of the police brigade in the county reminded him: "Taijun, those anti-Japanese elements who appeared outside the city are the so-called Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas. They can be said to be a mob. Usually we go to beat them, and they will hide. Now The soldiers in our city are strong, and they dare to come here blatantly. They must have something to rely on. They must have a backer behind them, so they dare to be so arrogant.

We don't know what they rely on?In the case of not knowing the enemy's situation, it is better to be cautious. "

The captain of the public security army also persuaded: "Taijun, why did you let all the people outside the city withdraw to the city? Didn't you just hear that the gangster named Gao Jiu came here? With the humble opinion of the humble position, the So, having the guts of a bear and a leopard, to dare to attack the county with such a small force, it must be that Gao Jiu is supporting them. If that Gao Jiu really came, do you think we can beat him?"

The captain of the gendarmerie has no experience in commanding troops at all. If Gao Jiu makes a casual move, the majestic field troops of the Yellow Army of Japan, from brigades, regiments, and even brigade-level troops, are no match for him. He is a small If the small gendarmerie dares to challenge Gao Jiu, isn't that courting death?

He asked very nervously: "Then what do you think should be done?"

The captain of the police brigade said: "My lord, those scumbag anti-Japanese elements are all poor. They came here just to grab something. Let's give them something. If we send them away, it's over? It is recommended to send someone out to negotiate with them, if the conditions offered are not high, just give them."

He had heard that Gao Jiu and others had led people to take down many county towns. After entering the city, they would raid the town and kidnap county officials for ransom.At the beginning, the captain of the police brigade in Yu County was forced to hand over 8000 oceans.He didn't want to annoy Gao Jiu. If he beat him into the city, even if he didn't kill him, he would have to pay a large amount of ransom.

After he finished speaking, he gave the captain of the public security army a wink and asked him to continue persuading him.

Seeing the hesitation of the gendarmerie captain, the captain of the security force knew what he was worried about.He said: "Taijun, you don't have to worry about your superiors blaming you. There are tens of thousands of Huang Jun in Jinan City, and there is nothing they can do with Gao Jiu. We are just a small county with only a few dozen Huang Jun, who can keep the county. It is a major victory, not only without fault, but also with merit."

The Japanese gendarmerie captain finally made up his mind.So, he sent someone to find the principal of the No. [-] Middle School of the county, which was well-known in the city, and went out of the city to negotiate with the president of the chamber of commerce.

Gao Jiu asked, "How do you plan to work for the army?"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce said: "Gao Jiuye, our county is a small place and not rich. We are willing to spend 5 oceans, and please Jiuye retreat."

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu also felt that it would be meaningless to fight this battle any longer, and if it was really fought hard, it would really take a lot of effort to rely on rookies like Ruifengshan.He decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, and said: "5 oceans in money order, 1 oceans in cash, plus 2 catties of grain."

Gao Jiu didn't ask for weapons and ammunition, that would embarrass the captain of the devil's gendarmerie in the city, and inevitably some variables would arise.

Gao Jiu never complicates things for trivial things.All he wants is money, is he afraid he won't be able to buy weapons if he has money?Besides, for masters, seizing some weapons and ammunition is not just a game.

To be honest, the chairman of the chamber of commerce and others had already discussed it before leaving the city. They planned to go to 10 oceans.They offered 5 oceans just to bargain.As for grain, one ocean can buy 30 catties of grain, and 2 catties of grain is only a few hundred oceans.Now Gao Jiu's conditions can be said to be very low.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce immediately agreed, and he said: "Master Jiu is really kind, we will do it right away, please wait a moment, and I will send it out to you soon."

As he spoke, he took out a money order of 5 oceans from his pocket, handed it to Gao Jiu, and went back with the principal of the middle school.

After 40 minutes, the gate of the city opened, and many carts came out from inside. The carts in front were loaded with boxes, and the carts in the back were full of grain.The president of the chamber of commerce came over again, and he directed the carts pulling the wooden boxes, and came to Gao Jiu, and said, "Master Gao Jiu, Dayang is here for you, do you want to count? "

Gao Jiu believed that they dared not deceive him, nodded and said, "I mean what I say, and I will withdraw the troops and go back now. After you go back, tell the devil's gendarmerie captain that within ten days, all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will not leave the city. One step, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce immediately agreed, and he said, "Master Jiu, please rest assured, I will definitely bring your words with me when I go back." After speaking, he cupped his hands to bid farewell to Gao Jiu, and went back to the county seat.

Seeing Master Jiu's majesty, the guerrillas were all amazed and looked at Master Jiu with reverence.

Gao Jiu said: "Brothers! The devils here have given up, so let's change the target. The 1 cash and the [-] catties of grain here belong to your guerrillas."

The guerrillas did not expect such a large amount of money to be made so easily, and they immediately cheered.

On the way back to the garrison, Gao Jiu said: "Captain Gao, Captain Li, there is no more oil and water here. Didn't we go to dig that gold mine last time? I think we will go there tomorrow.
