The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 379 A Gift to the Old Man
The captain of the Eighth Cavalry Team of the Japanese Army robbed the supplies of the 20th Army yesterday. He not only took food and other supplies, but also more than 2000 French currency. This is the third time he has successfully robbed the transport team of the 20th Army.

As the head of the division, Gu Shoufu, was still in a coma, the attack of the Sixth Division had temporarily stopped, but this did not hinder the harassment and robbery of the Japanese cavalry brigade.

The national army troops stationed in Tanxi County needed to eat and drink, and they would definitely continue to send people to buy supplies. Of course, the Japanese cavalry captain could not allow the national army troops to obtain supplies.So he led the cavalry to attack the grain transport team of the 20th Army of the National Army again.

Although the Japanese cavalry captain is very arrogant, he is not a reckless person.When he learned that the 20th Army of the National Army had dispatched a grain transport team again, he observed carefully and found that the number of troops escorting the National Army grain transport team was much larger than before, about 400 people. Instead, rest assured, because this is a normal situation.

The 20th Corps was attacked yesterday, and today's increase in strength to escort the food convoy is the normal course of action for anyone with military common sense.

Although the strength of the Guo army's escort food delivery team has doubled, for the Eighth Cavalry Battalion of the Japanese Army, there is no big difference between 400 and 200 people. They think that as long as they charge, these Guo army troops will still Get overwhelmed.

In order to avoid the national army's early preparations, the captain of the eighth cavalry brigade of the Japanese army naturally did not choose the place where the national army's grain transport team was attacked yesterday for this attack.

This time they charged the national army's grain transport team near a fork in the road 28 miles away from Tanxi County.

This time the Japanese army still adopted the tactic of attacking from both sides. Such a tactic caused more psychological pressure on the enemy than launching an attack in the same direction.

The Japanese army still used the same offensive method this time. The cavalry charged while shooting guns. When they entered a distance of more than 100 meters from the national army transport team, they changed into sabers and rushed towards the national army transport team roaring.

At this time, there had been no rain in this area for several days, and the ground was very dry. The iron hooves of more than 200 war horses trampled on the dry ground, setting off billowing smoke and dust, and the momentum was astonishing.

Just as the devil cavalry expected, they saw the officers and soldiers of the national army panic-stricken and ran wildly.

Seeing this situation, the devil's cavalry shouted even more loudly to scare the panicked Guo army officers and soldiers.

Just when these ghost cavalrymen entered the distance within 100 meters of the national army officers and soldiers, they suddenly found that those national army officers and soldiers who fled in disorder, in groups, all lay on the ground. It is chaotic, but it is very regular when you look closely.The positions of the national troops in the front and rear rows were staggered, and the shooting range was very wide. The officers and soldiers of the national army lay on the ground, aiming rows of black muzzles at them.

The ghost cavalry were a little surprised and didn't understand why this happened, but for the fast-running horses, the distance of 100 meters was fleeting, and there was no time to think.

At this moment, the national army officers and soldiers lying on the ground opened fire. Their firepower was so fierce. Every squad of the national army had a light machine gun and many submachine guns, even those who used rifles The officers and soldiers of the national army did not shoot indiscriminately. Under the command of the squad leader, they fired bullets one after another.

All of this was arranged by Gao Jiu in advance. He judged that even if the troops were strengthened, the Japanese cavalry would still attack.

Gao Jiu specially strengthened the firepower. Each squad was temporarily equipped with a light machine gun, plus a part of the submachine guns in the guard battalion itself. The national army has a large number of troops and powerful firepower. .

The cavalry of the devils, who were only tens of meters away from the national army lying on the ground, were immediately beaten up, and most of the cavalry of the devils were knocked down when they rushed to a distance of about 50 meters in front of the national army's position down.A few lucky cavalrymen rushed forward for more than ten meters and were also knocked to the ground.

Seeing this situation, the devil cavalry rushing behind rushed to stop the horses, but at this time the horses were in the midst of a high-speed impact, there was no way to stop in a hurry, and they continued to rush forward involuntarily .Many war horses were tripped to the ground by the fallen war horses in front, and the cavalry immediately flew out.

The ghost cavalrymen behind grabbed the reins of the horses, and the horsemen stood up, neighing harshly.

The cavalry of these devils stayed in place for a moment, which happened to give the officers and soldiers of the national army a chance to shoot targets. Rows of bullets flew over and knocked them down one by one.

In just a few tens of seconds, more than 100 cavalrymen of the devils were wiped out. The devils behind turned their horses and fled in a hurry.

The officers and soldiers of the national army didn't have horses, and they couldn't run with these devil's cavalry on two legs, so they continued to chase the devil's cavalry with bullets until they couldn't reach the range of the bullet.

The battle took less than 2 minutes from start to finish, and the devil's cavalry lost more than 160 people. Only two officers and soldiers of the national army were shot by the Japanese carbine at the beginning, but they were only injured and no one was killed.

In the ranks of these national troops, there were Zhou Yan and the remnants of his battalion. Zhou Yan saw that they were the same people who came to attack those devils, but they used different tactics and achieved victory. With such a victory, he stood there in disbelief for a while, and then shouted loudly with the officers and soldiers who had already cheered.

"Victory."

"Victorious. We are victorious!"

Contrary to the elated Guo army officers and soldiers, the devil's captain was very depressed. After he collected all the remaining cavalry, he realized that there were only 209 of the 47 cavalry that came out today, including himself. Such a loss was unprecedented for the Eighth Cavalry Battalion.

The devil's cavalry captain spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, and almost fell off his horse.He knew that he had fallen into the enemy's trick this time, and he couldn't figure out why the officers and soldiers of the national army who were like sheep yesterday suddenly turned into a pack of vicious wolves today.

He knew that he was defeated today, and the remaining men under his command could do nothing, so he had to retreat dejectedly and lead the remnants of his men towards the way they came from.

The devil cavalry had just been hit, and they were all a little panicked. They hurriedly ran towards the barracks. They didn't relax until they were only five miles away from the barracks where they set off, and slowly walked towards the barracks. go.

The devil's captain was worried as he walked. This time, the loss was so great. He was thinking about how to explain to his superiors after returning.

Suddenly, gunshots sounded not far away, and a bullet flew over, hitting the head of the Devil Cavalry Captain, and he fell headfirst, no longer needing to explain to his superiors.

Immediately afterwards, violent gunshots rang out, and six light machine guns swept at the remaining cavalrymen of the devils, annihilating more than half of these cavalrymen immediately, and the few remaining cavalrymen panicked and didn't know what to do When it was good, Ning Wen, Ning Wu, Li Xiaoshan, Jia Liu and others who were ambushed not far away, and of course Gao Jiu, knocked them down one by one.

So far, all the men and horses from the Eighth Battalion of Devil Cavalry this time have been wiped out without slipping through the net.

It turned out that Gao Jiu dispatched scouts ahead of time in order to wipe out the Devil's Eighth Cavalry Battalion. When they found the traces of the Japanese army, they reported to Gao Jiu. The horses and the improvised horse infantry ambushed in advance on the only way for the Japanese cavalry to retreat, completely annihilating the remnants of the Eighth Battalion of the Devil Cavalry.

Tanxi County.

In the headquarters of the 20th Army, Commander Yang and others are waiting for news from the transport team. The transport team must bring back supplies today, otherwise, the troops will run out of food.

Commander Yang, Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff and others are all well-tested senior generals, and they can calm down in the face of such a situation, but they still feel a little worried.

It's not that they don't trust Gao Jiu, they think that the cavalry tactics taught by Gao Jiu should be effective, but they are just worried about whether their troops can exert the power of this tactic in such a short period of time.At the same time, they were worried about whether the officers and soldiers of their own troops could resist the pressure caused by the Japanese cavalry's attack and fled again.

Not only that, but they were also worried that if the devil's cavalry would not come today, they would not be able to defeat these devil's cavalry, which would always be a great trouble for the logistics supply transportation of the 20th Army.

"Report." Just as the generals were worried, a report sounded outside the door.

"Come in," said the chief of staff.

A staff officer on duty opened the door and came in. He said with joy, "Report to the military seat, our troops have won."

Commander Yang asked, "What's the situation? Please report in detail."

The staff officer on duty said excitedly: "The Japanese army attacked our army's transport team. The officers and soldiers of our army who were in charge of escorting the transport team repelled the attack of the devil's cavalry according to the newly learned tactics of fighting cavalry, and wiped out more than 160 devils. Cavalry, only two of our troops were injured, and none were killed."

"Great!" Commander Yang said happily.

With a "bang", almost at the same time Commander Yang was speaking, the Deputy Commander slapped the table excitedly, and said loudly: "Ge Laozi, if you insist on getting it, the special commissioner's tactics are really effective. You just defeated him!" Devil's cavalry."

The chief of staff also nodded and said, "That's all right. From now on, our troops will no longer be afraid of the devil's cavalry."

Commander Yang said: "Order to go down, add a few more dishes at noon, take out all the wine in stock, and celebrate the special commissioner and the soldiers who have done meritorious service."

12:50 noon.The transport team returned to Tanxi County. The battalion commander and Zhou Yan came to the military headquarters, reported the battle to General Yang and other senior generals of the 20th Army, and presented them with captured Japanese weapons and several horses. Orient horse without wounded devil.

The military headquarters was full of joy, and everyone was discussing enthusiastically, feeling happy about the victory of this battle.Gao Jiu's role in it was the most discussed topic among the people.

Lin Yanni, who had been waiting for news, came to the military headquarters early.At this moment, when she heard the generals of the 20th Army praise her sweetheart, she was very happy, her pretty face was smiling like a flower, and she looked more and more beautiful.

Seeing Lin Yanni's appearance, all the young officers in the military headquarters stared straight at each other. They couldn't help but envy Gao Jiu very much, and secretly lamented that they didn't have the ability to win a goddess like Miss Lin heart.

At this time, the army commander's adjutant came in, and he said: "Army seat, the banquet is ready, do you want to start?"

Before Commander Yang could speak, the Deputy Commander said first, "Wait a little longer, and we will have a banquet together after the commissioner and the others come back."

Commander Yang also said: "Yes, wait a little longer, wait until the special commissioner and the others come back."

Half an hour later, Gao Jiu and others came back. Commander Yang and other generals were even happier when they heard that they had completely wiped out the remnants of the Eighth Cavalry Battalion of the Japanese Army and killed the captain of the Japanese Army. Ballroom.

The Division Headquarters of the Sixth Division was attacked. Division Chief Gu Shoufu had been in a coma for two days, and the documents in the safe in his room were snatched by Gao Jiu. The Japanese army's combat plan had been leaked. Therefore, The front-line Japanese attack has basically stopped except for a few places, which gave the entire national army a chance to breathe in the Wuhan battle, and provided the national army's general staff to calmly adjust the deployment of troops, rush to repair fortifications, and strengthen the army. The defenses bought time.

Wuhan.

Wang Guimin sent back important documents about the Japanese army in the fifth theater for Li Yanni.The Fifth Theater reported to the Military Commission, and Li Fengming retrieved important documents about the Japanese army in the Ninth Theater, and the Ninth Theater also reported to the Military Commission.

The Military Commission convened the main generals of the Fifth Theater and the Ninth Theater, held a military meeting, discussed the content of the Japanese army's documents captured by Gao Jiu, and made corresponding adjustments to strategy and campaign deployment.

Neither the Fifth War Zone nor the Ninth War Zone took this credit for themselves, and declared the military exploits to the Military Commission for Gao Jiu, and the Military Commission decided to award Gao Jiu the third-class Yunhui Medal.Among the senior generals of the national army, only a very small number of them have won the third-class Yunhui Medal. It is definitely the first time that Gao Jiu is awarded to someone outside the army. It is a very honorable thing.

To Gao Jiu, although he didn't care about this medal, it was a kind of honor after all, and he was still a little happy in his heart.Of course, what made him happy was still to come. The Military Commission rewarded Gao Jiu with 20 French currency again.

When the fighting on the front line stabilized, Gao Jiu bid farewell to Commander Yang and others, and returned to Wuhan with Lin Yanni.

Before leaving, Gao Jiu asked Commander Yang for help. He wanted to buy a batch of houses and land in the city and suburbs in Chongqing.Commander Yang wanted to help Gao Jiu a long time ago, and when he heard Gao Jiu's request, he readily agreed, saying that he would send a telegram to his fifth wife right away.

The hometown of General Yang's fifth wife is Chongqing, and the fifth wife's father is now the police chief in Chongqing.General Yang asked them to help with this matter, and after his Fifth Madam made arrangements there, he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking Gao Jiu to send someone to Chongqing directly to find his Fifth Madam.

On the way back to Wuhan, Lin Yanni asked puzzledly: "Ninth brother, your people are all in Peach Blossom Mountain, what's the use of going to Chongqing to buy a house and land?"

After the Battle of Wuhan, the government will move its capital to Chongqing, and the real estate prices there will rise all the way. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and Gao Jiu will naturally not let it go.

However, at this time, the relocation of the national government's capital to Chongqing is still a secret. Even Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu will keep this important secret from her.

He smiled and said: "You will know after a while. Tell me, what kind of architectural style do your parents like? If you have a ready-made house, you can buy them one. If not, you can find someone to design the drawings , I will build a mansion for them."

Lin Yanni was at the wine table that day, and although she was happy to see that Gao Jiu did not deny his relationship with her, Gao Jiu did not mention this matter after that, so she was still a little uneasy.

Now, when she heard that Gao Jiu said that she would buy a house for her parents, she immediately felt at ease, and she said affectionately: "Thank you Brother Jiu, if my parents hear that you have such a heart, they will be very happy of."

After finishing speaking, she tentatively leaned her head lightly on Gao Jiu's shoulder. Seeing that Gao Jiu did not refuse, her actions became bolder, and her cherry lips gently kissed Gao Jiu's cheek After a moment, his cheeks turned pink with shame, and he couldn't help lowering his head.

After returning to Wuhan, Gao Jiu was invited by the fifth theater and the ninth theater respectively to go to the headquarters to meet with their chiefs, and then put his energy on uncovering the Japanese spy organization in Wuhan.

Since the Japanese spy organization dared to attack Lin Yanni, they must pay the price for it.

In the residence prepared for Gao Jiu by Wang Xilin, the deputy director of the Anti-Spionage Department of the Military Command, Wang Xilin provided Gao Jiu in detail with the information they have now about the Japanese spy organization in Wuhan.
