The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 391 Defending the Homeland
Jia Liu said, "Jiuye, after you left the house, the second head of the family sent a telegram, saying that devils have come to attack our Peach Blossom Mountain."

With that said, he handed Zhang Quan's telegram to Gao Jiu.

Zhang Quan's telegram stated that a large number of devils who did not know where they came from suddenly appeared in Taohuashan, and they did not receive any information in advance.

Gao Jiu felt a little puzzled. The reason why he was able to stay in Wuhan for such a long time was because the main forces of the Japanese army in Shandong were now participating in the Battle of Wuhan. In Shandong, only the 114th Division of the Japanese Army and some garrison troops were stationed scattered. In the huge area of ​​​​Shandong.According to past lessons, the Japanese army did not dare to invade Peach Blossom Mountain with less than one regiment. Where did they mobilize so many troops?
In addition, in Jinan City, the underground party and the military command provided Gao Jiu with information about the mobilization of Japanese troops. Gao Jiu should be able to get the news. Why did the Japanese suddenly attack Taohua Mountain?

After thinking for a while, Gao Jiu said, "Sister! You should go and implement the matter of the plane immediately, the sooner the better."

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Lin Yanni agreed and called Director Feng, who promised to contact the Air Force right away.

Gao Jiu dictated the telegram to let Jia Liu send a telegram to Zhang Quan first, telling him to stick to Taohua Mountain and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Gao Jiu sent telegrams to Sun Yong'an in Shoucheng County, as well as the military command and underground party in Jinan, asking them to try to investigate the origin and strength of these devils.

Then, he sent a telegram to Wang Jindong and Jiang Xiaomei, asking them to send troops to reinforce Taohuashan.

Gao Jiu also sent a telegram to Li Chengwu, asking him not to reveal his identity for the time being, and to attack the Japanese army at the most critical moment to support Taohuashan.

Not long after, Director Feng called back, saying that he had already contacted the plane, but he had to wait until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Gao Jiu really didn't have the time to wait until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning, so he immediately picked up the phone and found Ouyang Xue, asking her to help arrange the flight, the sooner the better.

Ouyang Xue agreed and said to call Gao Jiu back later.

Soon, telegrams from various places were sent back one after another.

Zhang Quan said in the telegram that the situation in Taohuashan is critical at present, Guo Hengming has led a squadron of 30 members to Zhiyuan County to transport the equipment brought back by Gao Jiu, and the troops are a little empty.However, he has already mobilized the whole village and resolutely guarded Taohua Mountain.

Sun Yong'an, the Jinan military command, and the underground party all responded to telegrams, saying that they would immediately investigate the situation of the Japanese army who attacked Taohuashan.

Wang Jindong sent back a telegram, saying that he immediately sent Wang Zhankui's new 24th regiment and Guan Lie's independent regiment to rescue Taohuashan.

Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong also telegraphed back, saying that they would immediately reinforce Taohuashan.

After receiving Gao Jiu's call, Ouyang Xue immediately called General Mao, the commander of the air force, and asked him to arrange a plane for Gao Jiu.

General Mao said that he had already received a report on this matter, and the transport plane had already arranged the mission in advance today, so he could only make arrangements for Gao Jiu at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Ouyang Xue quit and asked Commander Mao to cancel other tasks and immediately arrange a transport plane for Gao Jiu.

General Mao still wanted to give Ouyang Xue face, and he immediately made arrangements for her.

After getting a clear answer, Ouyang Xue called Gao Jiu back, saying that she had made arrangements, as long as Gao Jiu arrived at the airport, the plane could take off at any time.

Regarding the matter of arranging the plane, Lin Yanni did not feel unhappy because she was not as powerful as Ouyang Xue, but she was somewhat grateful for Ouyang Xue's help to Gao Jiu at the critical moment.

Gao Jiu said: "Pack up your things immediately and leave immediately!"

An hour later, Gao Jiu and others arrived at the airport, where a transport plane was already waiting.

We were about to part, and Gao Jiu didn't have time to say goodbye to Lin Yanni too much, so he directly hugged Lin Yanni in his arms and kissed her cherry lips.

Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and other brats felt itchy in their hearts, and they also wanted to find a woman to try this in the future.

Liu Huilan followed Jia Liu to Peach Blossom Mountain this time. Seeing this scene, she also saw Jia Liu looking over, with obvious malicious intentions in her eyes.She blushed instantly.

Ouyang Xue also came, but she didn't show up, she was in the parking lot under the control tower.She watched Gao Jiu kiss Lin Yanni goodbye in the car, and then saw him get on the plane, and only then returned to Wuhan after the plane disappeared.

The scene of Gao Jiu saying goodbye to Lin Yanni made Ouyang Xue very sad.However, this is what she expected.She had already seen that the relationship between Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu was unusual.She also thought about not being in contact with Gao Jiu anymore, but she couldn't resist the huge attraction Gao Jiu brought her.

She knows that for herself, the road of love in the future may be full of thorns, but she is still unwilling to give up, and would rather be a moth and be burned by the fire of love.

On the plane, Gao Jiu took out two 1500-watt high-power radios obtained from the black room, and could receive radio signals from various places at any time.

Soon after the plane took off, the underground party in Jinan sent a telegram, and then the Jinan Station of the Military Command and Sun Yongan also sent telegrams, basically clarifying the situation of the Japanese army who attacked Taohuashan.

It turned out that Yoshito Hamada had received information from Shanghai that Gao Jiu was in Wuhan, so he decided to attack Taohuashan.

Long-distance raids are Hamada's usual method. He knows that if he mobilizes troops from Jinan, Gao Jiu will get the news soon.He carefully planned an action plan and reported it to General Matsuda. After asking the headquarters of the 12th Army, General Matsuda mobilized a regiment of troops from the remaining troops of the Qingdao Fifth Division. Get off at Chengxian Station and go to attack Peach Blossom Mountain.

For this operation, Yoshito Hamada also quietly left Jinan himself, and took a train to join the 18th Regiment of the Japanese Army to assist them in attacking Taohuashan.

Yoshishi Hamada knew that the Japanese and puppet troops in the Taohuashan area were not very reliable, so he did not disturb the local gendarmerie this time, bypassing Shoucheng County and driving directly to Taohuashan.

This morning, Han Laoliu rode a tall horse, and under the escort of four guards, he drove a few carriages out to purchase, humming a little song as he walked.

A little chef sat on the carriage and said jokingly, "Sixth brother, when will sister-in-law and the others arrive? After they arrive, you have to treat us to a good drink."

Han Laoliu said with joy on his face: "According to the days, your sister-in-law and the others will come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, don't worry! Good wine and good meat will be indispensable to you boys, ha ha."

Han Laoliu is in a really good mood recently. He is now considered a leader in Taohuashan and belongs to a middle-level cadre. The people in the cottage trust him very much. He is mainly responsible for the logistics procurement. The cottage is respected by people.Arriving outside the mountain, in front of those merchants, being called by them one by one, the mood can be imagined, one word, cool.Now Taohuashan's life is getting better and better. Master Jiu keeps bringing a lot of money to Taohuashan, and Han Laoliu's salary has doubled.He was a little worried about how to use the money in the future.So I couldn't help spending money to eat more good food, and I became a lot fatter than before.

Not long ago, he received a piece of good news that surprised him: last year he ran away from his wife and children when he was fleeing for disaster. Now that the conditions are better, he sent someone home to inquire about their news and learned that he His wife and children are still alive, and he works as a servant for a wealthy family in Liaocheng.

With Feng Xiucai's consent, he can bring his wife and children to Peach Blossom Mountain, and he should be here in Peach Blossom Mountain within two days.

The joy of finding it again made Han Laoliu very excited. He was looking forward to the moment when he would meet his wife and children.

10:00 am.Han Laoliu and the others came to the temporary market, and saw merchants setting up stalls in the field from a distance.Han Laoliu enjoyed the respect from the merchants when they saw him, so he puffed up his chest and deliberately walked forward slowly.

When he was only tens of meters away from those booths, Han Laoliu suddenly felt something was wrong, because these people were all unfamiliar faces.Among the merchants in the past, there were some women, but today there were none.

Han Laoliu became alert, reined in the horse, and said, "Something is wrong." Then he carefully observed the situation ahead.

The guards got their guns, and the cooks and handymen who came with them all had guns, and everyone started to get their guns.

At this moment, they saw that the people who set up the stalls took up their guns like magic tricks.

"No, they are devils, retreat quickly!" Han Laoliu screamed, ready to lead the team to retreat, but it was already too late.Shadows of ghosts appeared on the hillsides on both sides of them. On the way they came, there were shadows of devils shaking, and they were surrounded.

Han Laoliu usually also participated in military training. He pulled out his shell gun from his waist and prepared to shoot at the devils.

"Da da da!" The machine gun rang out, and the devils all around fired at Han Laoliu and the others.

Han Laoliu and the others were located in a valley, the terrain was very unfavorable, and there were a large number of devils. It didn't take long, and the guards and other procurement personnel died one after another.Han Laoliu ran out of bullets and was captured by the devils.

Why did the devil suddenly appear here?

It turned out that in order to deal with Peach Blossom Mountain, Hamada Yoshito had already placed spies in this area.Peach Blossom Mountain is here to trade with merchants outside the mountain. Too many people know about it, and it is no longer a secret.

Today, Hamada Yoshito specially sent people to surround the market in advance, and after interrogating the common people, he laid an ambush in advance on the way Han Laoliu and others came over.

The reason why Han Laoliu didn't die was because the devils wanted to keep him alive.The devils interrogated the people, they didn't know the exact location of the Taohuashan stronghold, they wanted to capture a person from Taohuashan to show them the way.

Han Laoliu was caught. He was very frightened and trembled uncontrollably.But when the devils pressed him for the location of the Peach Blossom Village, he refused to say anything.

The devils tortured Han Laoliu with various means, but Han Laoliu couldn't stand the punishment of the devils, and finally agreed to lead the way for the devils.

It took two hours to walk from here to Taohua Shanzhai, but Han Laoliu led the devils for a full three and a half hours, but still could not see the shadow of the Shanzhai.

The devil officer who led the team became suspicious, pulled out his command knife, put it on Han Laoliu's neck, and said viciously: "You lied to work, and if you can't find a place to work, die, die, don't work!" .”

Han Laoliu looked very scared, his hands were tied, he raised his chin and pointed towards a mountain in front, saying that he would be able to see the location of the cottage when he got to that mountain, and said that if you If you can't see him again, you can kill him.

The devils couldn't find the location of the cottage, and now they had to rely on Han Laoliu.So, they chose to trust Han Laoliu again, and escorted him up the mountain.

Han Laoliu led them up the mountain ridge, and climbed towards the top of the mountain ahead.The reason why he chose this position was because he knew that on the peak to his left, there was a surveillance post of Taohua Mountain.He led the devils up the mountain, and they should be able to see them from the surveillance post.

Han Laoliu climbed to the top of the mountain, and the distance from here to the top of the mountain was less than 100 meters. He knew that this journey was the last of his life.

As he walked, weeping.How he wished to be able to reunite with his relatives, hug his three-year-old son, and kiss his chubby little face. He really wanted to live.

However, thinking about the respectable Jiuye, thinking about the guerrillas in Taohua Village who are like a family, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray them.

Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Han Laoliu knew that once he reached the top of the mountain, the devils would find out that he was lying and would continue to torture him.

He spotted a steep hillside on the side of the road ahead, and said silently in his heart: "Cuiyun, Goudan, see you in the next life." He suddenly ran two steps towards the side of the road and jumped off the cliff.

Han Laoliu's guess was right. When he led the devils up the mountain ridge, the surveillance post on the nearby hilltop found them. heroic feat.

The monitoring post immediately dialed the phone number of Taohuadong and reported the situation to Zhang Quan.

Because Han Laoliu kept the secret with his life, the Japanese army did not find the specific location of Taohuashanzhai along the way to the north.However, Yoshito Hamada finally found the Peach Blossom Cottage.

Yoshito Hamada always believed that the Peach Blossom Cottage was near the original Peach Blossom Cottage he had been to last time.So, this time, he took that area as the core, divided the Japanese army into four groups, and searched centripetally.

On this road of Yoshito Hamada, four Japanese soldiers who were hunters were sent ahead. After careful searching, a Japanese soldier found a telephone line. Following this line, he finally approached The second line of defense in Taohuashan.

The guerrillas on the top of the mountain saw the direction the Japanese army was searching for, and knew that sooner or later they would find the location of the cottage, so they opened fire on the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.

Peach Blossom Cave.

After receiving the report from the observation post, all members of Taohuashanzhai mobilized, except for a few underage children, all of them took up weapons and gathered on the lighted field.

Zhang Quan first notified the enemy's situation and told the heroic feats of Han Laoliu.

He said: "Brothers and sisters in Taohuashan, the devils are here and they want to destroy our home. What should we do?"

"Fight, fight, fight." The men, women and children in the cottage cherish this refuge in troubled times, and they are willing to use their lives to defend the home they live in.People waved their weapons and shouted slogans emotionally.

Wang Xinyu is the son of Wang Charlie, who is only four years old this year. He stood outside the court, looking at the adults who were excited, and imitated the adults, holding up the wooden pistol in his hand, and shouting loudly: "Fight!" Hit, hit, hit." The immature child's voice also revealed an aura of pride and confidence.

The leaders of the cottage, Zhang Quan, Du Shengxi, and Feng Xiucai, were all satisfied with the morale of the Taohuashan team members.They felt that there was no need to mobilize any further, so they immediately began to assign combat tasks.

At this time, there were still 76 special forces and 140 guards remaining on Taohua Mountain. Feng Xiucai was left to lead ten special forces and 20 guards, as well as men, women and children in the cottage to stick to Taohua Cave.Zhang Quan and Du Shengxi led other team members to reinforce the second line of defense.

Finally found the old lair of Peach Blossom Mountain Village, Hamada Yoshitoshi was very excited. According to his investigation, all the people in the Peach Blossom Mountain Guerrilla Squad were no more than 300 people, and only 200 of them were able to fight.This time he brought an entire infantry regiment of the mighty Fifth Division, nearly 4000 people.He believed that it would be easy to destroy Gao Jiu's lair and wipe out the guerrillas in the cottage.

A few days ago, Nakajima Hyogo, the commander of the 18th Regiment of the Japanese Army, when he received this task, felt that it was an overkill and used cannons to fight mosquitoes.A mere bandit cottage with hundreds of people, how can there be a regiment of Japanese Yellow Army.At that time, he sneered at the 114th Division, which was in charge of security in Southwest Shandong.The reason why he thinks this way is also because of his confidence. The fifth division is very fierce. At the beginning, it claimed to have swept Shanxi with half of the division.

At this moment, he confidently gave the order to attack.He felt that it would take less than an hour to take down the enemy's position on the mountain, and then go straight to the bandit's lair.

However, after the battle really started, they realized that they were wrong, and very wrong.

Taohuashan is rich, bought a lot of reinforced concrete, and built a large number of solid fortifications on the hills near Taohuashan, which can completely resist the direct bombing of the Japanese Type [-] infantry artillery.

Although the number of Taohuashan guerrillas is small, their firepower is terrifying.The most indispensable thing in Taohuashan is weapons and ammunition. The number of machine guns and mortars far exceeds that of the Japanese army. The large number of sharpshooters is also a nightmare for the Japanese army.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese army launched two attacks and was beaten to nothing.After losing hundreds of people, Hamada Yoshito and Nakajima Hyogo looked at each other, looking at the top of the mountain at a loss.

Nakajima Hyogo said dissatisfiedly: "Hamada-kun, didn't you say that they are just a bandit team? Where did such a strong firepower come from?"

Yoshishi Hamada looked at the enemy's position on the mountain like an iron wall. He suddenly regretted it. He didn't quite understand why he didn't remember to eat and not fight. Every time he came to Peach Blossom Mountain for trouble, he returned in a disastrous defeat. This time I don't know which tendon turned wrong again, and ran to Peach Blossom Mountain again to shame people.

"Gao Jiu, this damn Gao Jiu." Hamada Yoshito cursed viciously, but his tone was full of helplessness.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind, which made him feel unbelievable.
