The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 392
"Retreat!" Hamada Yoshito flashed such words in his mind. This idea made him feel unbelievable, but it truly reflected his mood at the moment.

Yoshito Hamada has a slight fear of heights. When he was a teenager, he once climbed a big tree. When he climbed up, his heart was full of passion. In the process of climbing, he was also full of courage and tenacity. .

But when he climbed to the top of the tree, looking at the ground seven or eight meters below him, he trembled with fright. At that moment, he deeply regretted, and only thought about how he could reach the ground safely.

He wanted to ask others for help, but he was afraid that the other children would laugh at him, so he suppressed the fear in his heart and climbed under the tree little by little until he reached the ground.

The moment he touched the ground, he felt a sense of relief, and he slumped on the ground as if he had fallen apart.

At this moment, Yoshito Hamada felt as if he had climbed that big tree back then. At the beginning, his heart was full of impulse, and he only wanted to find Gao Jiu's lair.

His mood at this time was like climbing a big tree. When he came to Peach Blossom Mountain and finally found Gao Jiu's lair, his heart was full of fear and powerlessness.

Although there are not many bandits on Peach Blossom Mountain, they have solid fortifications and powerful firepower, and occupy a condescending favorable terrain. Yoshihiro Hamada can't think of any way to break through the enemy's position.

In history, on June 1944, 6, when the Allied forces opened up the second battlefield and landed in Normandy, the strongest soldier of the German army, Hein Severo, once relied on Under the cover of a strong bunker, more than 6 American soldiers were massacred with machine guns, and such a number was almost equivalent to the strength of a regiment of the American army at that time.Hayne Sefro was called the Beast of Omaha Beach by Confederate soldiers.

Hamada Yoshito was born in the field army, participated in many battles, and has rich combat experience. He made a basic judgment on the situation in front of him and believed that it is impossible to break through the enemy's position in a short period of time.If there is a strong attack, all the soldiers of this regiment will be dead, and it may not be possible to attack.

Yoshihiro Hamada was very aware of the situation of the Iron Triangle in Southwest Shandong. The reason for the sneak attack was to destroy Gao Jiu's lair when Gao Jiu was not in Peach Blossom Mountain and the other two wings of the Iron Triangle had no time for reinforcements.Wang Jindong's 187th division and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion, it is meaningless to come to the rescue.

Abolishing Gao Jiu's lair is equivalent to destroying Gao Jiu's foundation. If he fights alone, he will not be able to achieve anything.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. Yoshiichi Hamada knows that the enemy's reinforcements are probably coming here. Once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, what awaits them may be a catastrophe.

At this moment, Hamada Yoshishi already had the idea of ​​quickly leaving the battlefield.He said to Nakajima Hyogo, the captain of the 18th Regiment: "Mr. Nakajima, you have rich combat experience. How long do you think it will take to break through the enemy's position?"

Hongo Nakajima held up his binoculars to observe the position on the mountain.Since more than 300 people had been lost, he was also in a bad mood, and Yoshito Hamada's compliments to him did not make him happy.

He put down the binoculars, frowned and said: "The terrain here is really unfavorable, and the enemy's fortifications are extremely strong, and a strong attack will cause a lot of losses, and it will not be effective for a while.

To breach an enemy position, it is best to wait until night and attack under the cover of darkness.If the attack still fails, you can apply to the headquarters of the 12th Army to send planes to bomb and destroy the enemy's fortifications on the mountain. "

Speaking of this, Nakajima Hyogo felt a little ashamed. The dignified 18th Regiment of the Fifth Division attacked a bandit's cottage and asked the Air Force to help. It would make people laugh out loud.Therefore, he asked Yoshito Hamada to apply to the headquarters of the 12th Army, and let Yoshito Hamada go and lose it if he was ashamed.

To be honest, Hamada Yoshito didn't want to say this, because the bastards in the Air Force are not easy to talk to.However, he felt that Peach Blossom Mountain was a very harmful cancer to the southwestern Shandong area, and even the entire Shandong area, and it must be completely eradicated.He believed that the 12th Army Command was equally impressed with Gao Jiu. After he reported to General Matsuda, he should be able to apply for the air force to come to support him.

So he said: "Okay! I will report to General Matsuda immediately and ask him to apply to the headquarters of the 12th Army to send the air force to come for reinforcements."

Nakajima Hyogo said: "In this case, then suspend the attack, it is getting late, let the troops eat and rest, and then attack at night."

Hamada Yoshito wanted to talk to Nakajima about the Southwest Iron Triangle, but he believed that it would take at least two days for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive. The 18th Wing did not pose much of a threat.In order not to dampen Nakajima's enthusiasm, Hamada Yoshito did not add psychological pressure to him, so he did not mention the enemy's reinforcements.

Yoshito Hamada thought about it, if the night attack doesn't work, and it still won't work after the bombing by the Japanese air force tomorrow, at noon tomorrow at the latest, they will immediately withdraw from Taohuashan.If Hongo Nakajima refused to leave, he would find an excuse to leave Peach Blossom Mountain himself.

He immediately sent a telegram to General Matsuda in Jinan.

More than an hour later, General Matsuda telegraphed back, saying that the headquarters of the 12th Army had agreed to send four Nakajima-style light bombers from Jinan to arrive at Taohuashan at 9:[-] tomorrow morning to attack the positions of the Taohuashan guerrillas. Start the bombing and let Yoshito Hamada send someone to indicate the target for the bomber.

Nakajima was very happy when he heard the news. He was now full of confidence in breaking through the enemy's position, and ordered the troops to eat quickly, take time to rest, and prepare to attack at night.

After eating, Yoshihiro Hamada felt very uneasy, he felt a headache when he thought of Gao Jiu.Although he thought that Gao Jiu was far away in Wuhan, according to common sense, it would be impossible to return to Peach Blossom Mountain in ten or eight days, but for some reason, he always felt that this guy Gao Jiu was elusive, maybe he would suddenly pop out from somewhere.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He decided to leave Peach Blossom Mountain early and stay away from this dangerous place.

He said to Nakajima Hyogo: "Mr. Nakajima, I have no experience in military command. I am relieved to have you here. I want to go to Shoucheng County now and let the local gendarmerie organize the labor force of the 18th Regiment. When you conquer Peach Blossom Mountain and wipe out the bandits on the mountain, I will hold a big banquet in Shoucheng County to celebrate you and your heroic 18th Regiment."

Nakajima is now full of confidence in breaking the Peach Blossom Cottage, and he doesn't want anyone to point fingers, so he didn't think too much about Hamada Yoshito's request. Wait for my good news in the city and county."

When Hamada Yoshito came out this time, he brought two officers from the Special High School and a team from the Jinan Gendarmerie.After getting Nakajima's consent, he immediately led these people out of the mountain.

It was getting darker and darker, Hamada Yoshiichi looked at the surrounding mountains, he always felt that there seemed to be some danger hidden there, his footsteps became faster and faster, and he ran out of the mountains as if fleeing.

Nanyang Military Airport.

At 6:25 p.m., the transport plane landed at Nanyang Military Airport, but Gao Jiu didn't get off the plane, but went directly to the cockpit.

"Master Jiu." The captain and co-pilot respected Gao Jiu very much, and greeted him warmly when they saw him coming in.

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Two brothers, there is something I want to discuss with you."

The captain said, "Master Jiu, tell me."

Gao Jiu said: "Now, the devils are going to attack my Peach Blossom Mountain, I have to go back as soon as possible. If I go back to Peach Blossom Mountain by car from here, it will take at least two days. Now Peach Blossom Mountain is in danger, we wait It won't be that long.

I want to discuss with you, can we go to Peach Blossom Mountain?I parachuted back from there. "

"This, this..." The captain and the co-pilot looked at each other in blank dismay. This request made by Gao Jiu really made them very embarrassed.The order they received was to go to Nanyang Airport and fly forward. Not only did they violate the military order, but they might also encounter the Japanese air force.There is another problem. Most of the time when flying over and back is still at night. Their night flight training time is very short, and they are also worried about danger.

Seeing them like this, Gao Jiu also understood their difficulties. He said, "I know you are in a difficult situation. Can you see if this works? First of all, let me say hello to your boss. After completing this task, I promise Each of you will increase your military rank by one rank."

When the two heard this, they were immediately tempted.The two began to think, since there was no such thing as disobedience to military orders, the possibility of encountering the Japanese Air Force at night was relatively small. As for the night flight, they had been trained anyway, so they felt that the problem was not too big.

What Gao Jiu did next made the two of them immediately make up their minds.

Gao Jiu took out a bill of exchange of 10000 French currency from his pocket, and said, "Two brothers, please help me. On behalf of all the anti-Japanese soldiers in Taohuashan, I thank you for your contribution to the anti-Japanese war."

The national army's air force is the pride of heaven, and its salary is relatively high. The captain can get 125 French currency a month.Even so, 10000 French currency is still a great temptation for them.

The captain glanced at the co-pilot, and the co-pilot nodded to him with a beaming face.

The captain immediately said impassionedly: "Master Jiu is too polite. In order to resist the Japanese, our brother will accompany you crazy."

Gao Jiu stuffed the money order into the captain's hand, returned to the cabin and said to everyone: "Ning Wen, Ning Wu, and Li Xiaoshan stay on the plane, and Wang Guimin is in charge of the rest, and they will take the bus to Zhiyuan County."

Zhao Guosheng, the head of the Liaison Team of the Military Intelligence Division of the Fifth Theater, asked in puzzlement, "Master Jiu, we are going to Zhiyuan County, what are you going to do?"

Gao Jiu said: "The few of us flew directly to Peach Blossom Mountain, and parachuted back from there. We kept in touch by radio at any time."

Grandma Chen cured her eyes, and returned to Peach Blossom Mountain with Gao Jiu and the others this time.When she heard that Gao Jiu was going to jump off the plane, she said worriedly, "Master, are you in danger?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, we all have parachutes and nothing will happen."

After Grandma Chen cured her eyes, she treated Gao Jiu as if she were her own child at first sight. She worriedly warned, "You must be careful, the head of the family."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, your eyes are healed this time, and when I get back to Peach Blossom Mountain, I will watch a movie with you."

"Hey, hey, you have to keep your word. I'm waiting for you to come back and watch a movie with me." Grandma Chen said hopefully.

Jia Liu can also skydive, he really wants to go with Master Jiu.But seeing Liu Huilan beside him looking at him eagerly, he hesitated a little, but after thinking about it seriously, he still felt that Master Jiu was more important.He resolutely said: "Master Jiu, I will go with you."

Gao Jiu said considerately: "No, you can stay with Huilan well. Besides, you are in charge of the radio station. There are many things that I need to communicate with you in time."

Jia Liu stopped asking, and said sincerely, "Master Jiu, take care of yourself!"

Gao Jiu said to everyone: "Okay! Get off the plane, we're leaving soon, and when we win this battle, we'll see you in Taohuashan."

Everyone bid farewell to Gao Jiu and the others, and left the plane, which immediately took off and flew towards the north.

Taoyuan Town.

Li Chengwu was overjoyed when he received Gao Jiu's telegram, and he said to Shi Jianlong, Liang Shihu and others: "Master Jiu will be back in a while."

Liang Shihu asked puzzledly: "Isn't Master Jiu still in Wuhan at noon? How did he come back so soon?"

Li Chengwu said: "Master Jiu said, he came back by plane, and he will arrive in our Taoyuan Town at about 9:[-] pm. Let us light three fires in the open space outside the town. Let's go now."

8:20 p.m.Li Chengwu and others lit three fires on an open grass field to the west of Taoyuan Town.The three fires are more than 2 meters apart and distributed in a triangle.

Yoshito Hamada came out from the mountain with his people, and saw three fire piles from a distance. Around those fire piles, there were figures with guns swaying. It is not clear who was active here so late.He wanted to go over to have a look, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that everything was weird here. He didn't have many troops, and they were all military police, so they didn't have much fighting power. He was worried that if these people were anti-Japanese armed forces, it would be dangerous if a battle broke out. .He finally suppressed his curiosity, bypassed those fires far away, and continued to Taoyuan Town.

When he arrived not far from Taoyuan Town, he stopped the troops, and after careful consideration, he also felt unsafe.He thought that this place was too close to Peach Blossom Mountain, so it might have some connection with Gao Jiu's bandits, so he finally decided to bypass Taoyuan Town and go directly to Shoucheng County.

Hamada Yoshihito's carefulness really saved his life, because Li Chengwu and others had already received Gao Jiu's order. They were responsible for cutting off the Japanese army's supply line in Taoyuan Town. If they find out, they will definitely clean it up.

9:55 p.m.The pilot of the transport plane saw the flames on the ground, lowered the altitude and flew towards it.

Gao Jiu and the others had already made preparations. Gao Jiu said to the co-pilot who came to see him off: "Thank you, brothers. I have written down your friendship. When I beat the devils away, I will report to your superiors." Credit for you."

The co-pilot said: "Master Jiu, take care of yourself, I'm waiting to hear the good news that you defeated the Japanese."

The co-pilot opened the hatch, Gao Jiu took the lead, and Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others jumped down one after another.

The co-pilot returned to the cockpit and said with emotion: "I've heard that people who deal with Master Jiu will be promoted and get rich. We are so lucky to meet him."

The captain said: "Master Jiu is really amazing. I heard that he flew the plane very well. He crashed the devil's bridge with the devil's bomber."

The co-pilot said: "Master Jiu is really a god, and he treats people so well. It would be great if our chief could be like Master Jiu."

Gao Jiu and the others landed on the ground, Li Chengwu and the others ran over and said excitedly, "Master Jiu, you are back."

Gao Jiu looked at the excited team members and said cordially, "Hello, brothers!"

"Hi, Master Jiu." The team members said happily together.

After exchanging a few simple greetings with everyone, Gao Jiu ordered to set up a radio station and sent out telegrams one after another.

Peach Blossom Mountain.

After an afternoon of fighting, the Taohuashan guerrillas repelled two Japanese attacks, killing and wounding more than [-] Japanese soldiers.The Taohuashan guerrillas were all hiding in the strong fortifications. Only one guerrilla was unlucky and was killed by a bullet that penetrated the bullet hole of the bunker. In addition, only four members were slightly injured.

The morale of the Taohuashan guerrillas was high, and they were ready to continue to repel the enemy's attack. At this time, a piece of good news came.

Zhang Quan picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to connect all the calls. He said excitedly, "Master Jiu is back, and he has arrived in Taoyuan Town."

The guerrillas cheered when they heard the good news.

The night was deep and peaceful, and the cheers of the guerrillas could be heard far away. Hyogo Nakajima, who was at the foot of the mountain, really didn't understand why the bandits surrounded by heavy soldiers were so happy.
Hamada Yoshito was also puzzled. Not long ago, he heard the sound of planes flying in the sky. He thought of the fires on the ground. Judging by his military common sense, it might have something to do with the airdrop.

A thought flashed through his mind, this incident might have something to do with Gao Jiu, but he still couldn't figure out what it was.A deep sense of fear filled his mind, and his only thought now was to leave here as soon as possible, so he quickened his pace, and led a group of men, like bereaved dogs, towards Shoucheng County.

This afternoon, after Jiang Xiaomei received Gao Jiu's telegram, she was so anxious that she led more than 300 people from the independent battalion to rush to help Taohuashan.

9:40 p.m.On a carriage in the team of the Independent Battalion, the red light on the telegraph was flashing. After the operator received the telegram, the communication squad leader took the telegram, jumped off the carriage, and trotted all the way to catch up with Jiang Xiaomei and Yang, who were in front of the team. Jiong, he shouted: "Report to the battalion commander, political commissar, Jiuye telegram."
