The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 338 The National Army Has Sudden Growth

"Ah, ah."

Trampled by the horses of the Japanese cavalry and slashed with sabers, the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment fell in a pool of blood one by one.

The officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment collapsed, and they had only one thought in their minds—to stay away from this terrible place. They fled in all directions, not even daring to turn their heads, for fear that the devil's saber would fall on their heads.

The officers of the supplementary regiment could not stop these routs at all, so they fled with them.

After all, Guan Lie is the descendant of Guan Yu, the martial sage, and he did not humiliate the brave spirit of his ancestors.He couldn't stop the fleeing soldiers, so he stood there by himself, shooting at the Japanese cavalry with his pistol.He saw a devil's cavalry not far away killing a national soldier, so he fired two shots at him.

After all, Guan Lie was a little nervous, and the devil's cavalry was also in constant motion. At a distance of more than ten meters, he missed both shots.

He stabilized his mind and fired another shot at the devil.This shot hit the devil's waist, and the devil shook and fell off his horse.

At this time, another devil cavalry not far away saw Guan Lie standing here, and rushed over on his horse. Guan Lie fired hastily, and the bullet hit the leg of the devil cavalry. Regardless of the pain in his leg, the cavalry still charged up on his horse.He reached Guan Lie's side, raised his saber high, and slashed at Guan Lie.

Guan Lie stepped back instinctively, and the knife brushed past his ear, leaving a bloody gash more than an inch long on his left shoulder.The devil cavalry moved very quickly, he raised his saber again, and slashed at Guan Lie's head.Guan Lie had nothing to dodge, he closed his eyes, waiting for the thunderous strike of the saber.

At this moment, a bullet flew from a distance and hit the ear of the devil's cavalry.The devil's cavalry fell headlong, and the saber fell to the ground in front of Guan Lie.

Immediately afterwards, a lot of bullets flew from nowhere, and those devil cavalrymen turned over and fell off their horses one by one.

The people who came were Gao Jiu and the others. Gao Jiu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu, and Li Xiaoshan had four guns.In an instant, half of the more than 50 devil cavalry who rushed into the supplementary team column were knocked out.

The other devil cavalry panicked and galloped wildly. They ran fast, not as fast as the guns of Gao Jiu and others. In less than a minute, all the devil cavalry on this side were knocked off their horses.

Han Changgeng and the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division Guard Battalion who followed Gao Jiu and the others were stunned and excited.

Under Gao Jiu's command, Han Changgeng and the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division's Guard Battalion passed over the rebels from the supplementary regiment, quickly chose concealed places on both sides of the road, set up machine guns and mortars, and set up a temporary block position.

At this time, seventy or eighty Japanese infantry also rushed over.When they saw that part of the cavalry was wiped out, and Wang Guimin led people to block the other part of the cavalry, the Japanese infantry hesitated and began to slow down.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the 58th Division Guard Battalion opened fire.The Japanese officers and soldiers rushing to the front were knocked down by a dozen at once.

The devil's commander did not know where such a powerful enemy appeared. He knew that with the dozens of troops under his command, he was no match for the enemy, so he ordered to stop the pursuit and choose a position on the spot to block the enemy's attack. attack.

Gao Jiu and others kept shooting, killing the devil's officers, machine gunners, and grenadiers one by one who were lying on the ground and shooting at the officers and soldiers of the Gui army.The devils couldn't take it anymore, turned around and fled in the direction they came from.

The officers and soldiers of the Guangxi Army chased after them fiercely, and soon wiped out most of the escaped Japanese troops.If they were not worried about the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, they would be able to wipe out all these Japanese troops.They chased a distance of about 1000 meters before stopping the pursuit.Even so, only less than 20 Japanese soldiers escaped by chance.

At this time, the ghosts of the brigade could already be seen in the distance, and the enemy's reinforcements had already arrived.

Han Changgeng hurriedly led the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion to retreat back the same way.

The devil cavalry who were attacking Wang Guimin and the others retreated after seeing such changes on the battlefield, and the battlefield temporarily calmed down.

Wang Guimin and the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division's machine gun platoon and engineer platoon felt that they might have to confess here, but now that their reinforcements had arrived and they defeated the Japanese army so quickly, they couldn't help feeling very grateful.

They didn't know where such powerful reinforcements came from. They were very excited and came to say hello to the reinforcements.

Wang Guimin saw Gao Jiu, who was wearing a colonel's uniform, and hurried over to stand at attention to salute, and said, "Sir, my humble post is Han Changgeng, the combat staff officer of the 62nd Division, and he is following the supplementary regiment to perform missions."

Speaking of this, he was very puzzled, he didn't understand that the young man in front of him, who looked much younger than himself, would have the rank of colonel in the national army.

Gao Jiu nodded, also reported his family name, and said, "Gao Jiu, Deputy Director of the Ninth War Zone's Training Command."

"Gao Jiu?" Han Changgeng felt that the name sounded so familiar, and couldn't help being puzzled. The name sounded like thunder, but he was just heard that he was in Peach Blossom Mountain.Han Changgeng couldn't connect Gao Jiu with the colonel of the national army in front of him.However, seeing that the colonel in front of him was so young, and seeing his outstanding performance on the battlefield, he still felt in his heart that the Gao Jiu in front of him might have something to do with the legendary Gao Jiu!
He tentatively asked: "Mighty sir! Gao Jiu is a good name. I have heard of a world-famous hero whose name is exactly the same as yours."

Standing behind Gao Jiu, Jia Liu was full of pride. He raised his thumb and said triumphantly, "Listen! The one standing in front of you is my Taohuashan Master Gao Jiu."

"Master Jiu, so you are the legendary hero Gao Jiuye, no wonder you are so powerful." Han Changgeng said excitedly.

After speaking, he stood at attention and saluted Gao Jiu again, and said loudly, "Master Jiu is good, Master Jiu is mighty!"

The officers and soldiers behind him also became excited, and shouted along with Han Changgeng: "Master Jiu is mighty."

At this time, Guan Lie also walked over holding his wound, and behind him were some officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment who hadn't run away.

From the shouts of Han Changgeng and others, they already understood the identity of the national army colonel in front of them.Guan Lie stepped forward, let go of his right hand covering the wound on his left shoulder, stood at attention to salute Gao Jiu, and said, "Report sir! Guan Lie, head of the 62nd Division Supplementary Regiment, thank you Lord Jiu for your life-saving grace."

Gao Jiu saw that his shoulder was still oozing blood, and said to Jia Liu, "Bandage Commander Guan to stop the bleeding."

At this time, Gao Jiu had already heard the sound of the troops moving in the distance. He knew that the devil's reinforcements had arrived. He said, "The devil's reinforcements will arrive soon. Time is running out. To make a long story short. My current identity is a newly appointed member of the Ninth War Zone." Deputy Director of the Training Command. The 62nd Division Supplementary Regiment has now been separated from the 62nd Division and placed under the command of the Ninth Theater Training Command. From now on, you obey my command."

Qin Feng, who was following Gao Jiu, took out the written order from the theater headquarters and handed it to Guan Lie.

After Guan Lie read it, he stood at attention again and saluted, and said solemnly: "Report sir, all the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment are under your command, and the commander of the supplementary regiment, Guan Lie."

Gao Jiu said to Wang Guimin: "Consultant Wang, the situation is critical, and you also accept my command for the time being. After the troops are out of danger, you can return to the construction."

Wang Guimin stood at attention and saluted, and said solemnly: "Report sir, all officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division machine gun platoon and engineer platoon accept your command. The 62nd Division's operational staff officer Wang Guimin."

Gao Jiu said to Guan Lie: "You immediately lead the engineering platoon to gather the broken soldiers of the supplementary regiment."

Without further ado, Guan Lie saluted Gao Jiu, mounted his horse immediately, and led the officers and soldiers of the engineering platoon of the 62nd Division to chase in the direction where the defeated soldiers were fleeing.

Gao Jiu said to Wang Guimin and the officers and soldiers of the machine gun platoon: "The devil's reinforcements will arrive soon, and they have about a brigade."

At this moment, the devils' reinforcements are about 1500 meters away from here, and the terrain is undulating. Wang Guimin and others can't see the enemy at all. A brigade of troops.

Gao Jiu ignored their doubts, and continued: "The officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment are now panicked and have no combat effectiveness. In order to ensure their safe evacuation, I will lead you to cover alternately. Are you willing?"

Gao Jiu's reputation is really too loud, the officers and soldiers were very convinced by the wonderful performance of Gao Jiu and others just now.

Han Changgeng took the lead and said: "Sir, we are willing to obey your command and fight together with you."

Gao Jiu led the brothers of the machine gun platoon to a small mound beside the road, and asked them to build simple fortifications here to prepare to stop the enemy.

Not long after, Han Changgeng ran over with the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion.After seeing Gao Jiu, he said excitedly, "Report to Lord Jiu, we have killed most of the devils just now. But the devil's reinforcements have arrived, and the size should be as large as a brigade."

Wang Guimin and the officers and soldiers of the machine gun platoon, when they heard that the enemy's reinforcements had really arrived, and it was really a brigade, they felt that Gao Jiu was really unfathomable, and thought to themselves: "This Jiu Ye really lives up to his reputation."

They heard Han Changgeng say that they had wiped out most of the Japanese infantry who had just chased the supplementary regiment, and they were also full of admiration for the combat effectiveness of these Guangxi officers and soldiers.

After Gao Jiu introduced his identities to Han Changgeng and Wang Guimin, he pointed to a small mound about 400 meters to the left of the road behind, and said, "Battlemaster Han, leave me a platoon of troops, and then we will go to the hill on that hill." Two platoons were left on the small mound to cover our retreat, and the rest of the troops were within 300 to 500 meters on the right side of the road, looking for another blocking point for alternate cover."

Gao Jiu did this to delay the Japanese army and buy time for Guan Lie and others to gather the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment.

Han Changgeng nodded, pointed to a platoon leader and said, "You and your platoon stay and follow Master Jiu's command." After speaking, he led the other troops to retreat.

Gao Jiu also deployed this platoon on the position of the machine gun platoon of the 62nd Division, and Gao Jiu and Jia Liu also stayed in this position.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Li Xiaoshan moved freely, each looking for their own sniper positions.

About 20 minutes later, a large group of Japanese soldiers appeared, and when they were about 400 meters away from the position of Gao Jiu and others, Gao Jiu fired a shot.

The officers and soldiers of the national army didn't understand why Gao Jiu shot at such a distance. At this moment, they felt that Gao Jiu was a little bit impatient.But they also felt that Gao Jiu should not be such a person.

When they were wondering, Qin Feng shouted excitedly: "Master Jiu is mighty! That devil officer riding a horse has been killed."

Wang Guimin hurriedly raised the binoculars and looked in the direction of the Japanese army.At this moment, Gao Jiu fired two more shots, and Wang Guimin clearly saw that two more Japanese officers fell down.He also shouted excitedly: "Oh my god, you can hit the target at such a long distance. Master Jiu is mighty! Your marksmanship is really amazing."

The officers and soldiers of the national army on the battlefield didn't have binoculars. Although they couldn't see clearly, when they heard Qin Feng and Wang Guimin's shouts, they also felt Gao Jiu's magical marksmanship, and they all admired him.

The reason why Gao Jiu attacked the Japanese army at such a long distance, on the one hand, he wanted to make the Japanese army feel intimidated, thus slowing down the speed of the advance.On the other hand, he also wants to build confidence in the officers and soldiers of the national army on the ground.

Gao Jiu kept shooting, and he never missed a single shot. The devil's officers, machine gunners and other key targets fell down one by one.

After the Japanese army suffered successive blows, it temporarily stopped advancing.They lay on the ground, looking around for traces of the attackers.

A few minutes later, the Japanese army no longer marched as a whole team. They opened their formation, formed a skirmish line, and continued to chase them.

Gao Jiu continued to shoot, constantly consuming the Japanese army.At this time, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Li Xiaoshan also attacked the Japanese army respectively, forcing the Japanese army to send some troops to deal with them.

The morale of the Japanese army was seriously frustrated, and the speed of pursuit also slowed down significantly.

After all, the Japanese army was large in number, and soon after, they reached a position 200 meters away from the blocking position.

Gao Jiu said: "Brothers! The devils are coming up, listen to my password, and fire together!"

The officers and soldiers were ready, but they didn't take aim seriously, because they felt that Gao Jiu would wait until the Japanese army came within 100 meters before giving the order to fire.

Unexpectedly, just as the Japanese army reached a position 150 meters away from the blocking position, Gao Jiu ordered to open fire. Such a distance would obviously affect the accuracy of shooting.

The reason why Gao Jiu did this was because he didn't expect the officers and soldiers of the national army to destroy many enemies.

The closer the distance to the Japanese army, the more accurate the guns of the national army officers and soldiers. In the same way, the Japanese army's marksmanship is also more capable.

All he had to do was to delay the time and leave a safe distance for the national army officers and soldiers on the ground to retreat.

The Japanese army was attacked suddenly, they stopped and shot towards the position of the national army.

The commanders of the devils began to observe the enemy's situation in front, analyze and judge, and formulate offensive tactics. Then they began to set up artillery, and the troops also formed an offensive formation, ready to attack.

Just when they opened up their posture and were about to attack, Gao Jiu shouted: "Brothers! Retreat now!"

He asked Qin Feng and others to withdraw with the officers and soldiers, and he himself followed behind and was in charge of breaking the rear.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army managed to set up their positions, but before they fired their guns, they found that the enemy in front had fled.The commander of the Japanese army worried that this was an enemy's conspiracy. In order to prevent the enemy from setting up an ambush, he still ordered the artillery to open fire.

After a wild bombardment, the Japanese captain ordered the infantry to start a tentative attack.The forward of the Japanese army carefully touched the enemy's position, and then crawled forward. When they were within 30 meters of the enemy's position, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army threw grenades forward, and then rushed forward with shouts.

However, the national army's position was empty.

The commander of the Japanese army was so angry that he screamed and led a large force to catch up again.

At this time, Gao Jiu had already arrived at the second line of defense set up by the officers and soldiers of the guard company.

Wang Guimin and the others did not stay here, and the platoon leading the machine gun platoon and the guard Lian retreated directly, choosing a new blocking position.

Gao Jiu and Han Changgeng stayed on the second line of defense, ready to stop the Japanese army again.

Gao Jiu is still the old way, constantly shooting at long distances, killing the morale of the Japanese army.

The battle this time was still the same as before. Gao Jiu and others started firing when the Japanese army entered the shooting distance of 150 meters. After the Japanese army took up an offensive posture, they withdrew early.

Gao Jiu and others came to the third line of defense. He said to Qin Feng, Zhao Guosheng, Han Changgeng, and Wang Guimin who were waiting here: "You continue to follow this method and set up blocking positions, with the guard battalion and machine gun platoon as the main force. When setting up the blocking position for the first time, try to bring some officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment, let them experience the training of the war, and gradually grow up."

None of Qin Feng, Zhao Guosheng, Han Changgeng, and Wang Guimin expected that at such a tense moment, Gao Jiu would think so long-term, and everyone would immediately carry out Gao Jiu's order.

The commanders of the Japanese army still adopted their rigid attack tactics for the second blocking position of the national army: first, artillery bombardment, small troops tried to attack, the main force followed up, crawled forward, threw grenades, and launched a charge.

As a result, it was another empty position.

Then, the devils came to the third blocking position.In this battle, the situation at the beginning was exactly the same. The national army fired at a distance of 150 meters, and then the national army retreated.

The devil commander learned smart this time, he believed that there would be no ambushes on the enemy's position.He didn't follow the tactical norms anymore, he directly ordered the devils to chase after them with a big stride.

When the Japanese army reached a distance of 70 meters from the national army's position, suddenly, several machine guns suddenly spewed out violent flames on the seemingly empty blocking position, dozens of Japanese officers and soldiers who were unsuspecting , and fell down in an instant.

It turned out that Gao Jiu had set a trap for the devil.In the previous two battles, he directly withdrew his troops.This time, he deliberately let some officers and soldiers flee in a panic, and he led a few machine gunners to ambush the position.After the Japanese army rushed over, they launched a surprise attack on them.

After finishing firing the bullets in the magazine, Gao Jiu led the machine gunners to quickly evacuate the ambush position without waiting for the Japanese army to react.

The devil's commander regretted his recklessness very much, and he decided to attack according to the attack tactics stipulated in the infantry drill code.

So he did it all over again according to the preparation of artillery fire, the tentative attack of small troops, the follow-up of large troops, crawling forward, dropping bombs at a distance of 30 meters, and the infantry jumping up to charge.After they rushed to the position, the position was still empty.

"Eight teeth, eight teeth." The devil's team leader kept cursing angrily.He is very puzzled now, because he saw many corpses of national army officers and soldiers on the road, and he knew that he was facing the army of the national army.He really didn't understand, when did those national army officers and soldiers with extremely poor tactical skills suddenly make such great progress? !

He was so angry that his chest was tight, he swung his command saber vigorously twice, and said viciously: "Ba Geya Road, damn you! Warriors of the empire, rush up to me! Destroy them!"

Afterwards, he commanded the brigade to chase after him.

Qin Feng and Zhao Guosheng have fought with Gao Jiu and have become immune to his magic.Wang Guimin, Han Changgeng, and the officers and soldiers of the national army all admired Gao Jiu's miraculous marksmanship and superb tactical level.In particular, Gao Jiu's heroic feat of coming to the battlefield in person, taking the lead, charging ahead and retreating behind, moved the officers and soldiers even more.

In this way, Gao Jiu and others covered alternately, winning precious time for the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment.

Guan Lie and others finally gathered the troops of the supplementary regiment.
