The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 397 You Can Only Blame Gao Jiu

Not long ago, the wounded bomber of the Japanese army flew back to the airport in Jinan. After the crew of the bomber got off the plane, they saw the densely packed bullet holes on the fuselage. The vital parts, otherwise, they would not be able to come back.

These crew members saw with their own eyes that two bombers were shot down. Later, the remaining bomber did not fly back. Nakajima said in a telegram that that plane was also shot down by the enemy.

The commander of the Japanese Third Air Force, Yokota Makio, was in an extremely bad mood. He was ashamed of the army asking him to send planes to bomb the bandits' cottages, but he didn't expect such a result in the end.

Makio Yokota said: "The information provided by your special high school said that Taohuashan was just a group of bandits without anti-aircraft weapons, but my air team suffered such a huge loss. You must pay for this responsibility."

Lieutenant General Shigeru Suematsu, Chief of Staff of the 114th Division, and Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda recalled the heavy losses suffered by the 128th Brigade, and were also very dissatisfied with Hamada Yoshihito, and spoke sarcastically.

The other generals of the No.12 Army also remembered now that every time Hamada Yoshihito put forward a battle plan, it sounded so feasible, but in the end, they all suffered disastrous failures, and they also expressed their dissatisfaction. Yoshito Hamada questioned.

General Matsuda said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Our Gendarmerie Command is very responsible for this matter. As the highest officer of the Gendarmerie Command, I have a serious responsibility for dereliction of duty. I will write a review If the report is submitted to the headquarters of the 12th Army, your Excellency the Chief of Staff will punish you."

Having said that, he stood up and bowed to everyone.

Everyone admired General Matsuda for his conduct.Seeing his sincerity, everyone couldn't say anything more.

Only Sergeant Saburo Isoda, the chief of staff of the 114th Division, was still brooding over the death of his brother-in-law Shigesho Yamamoto, the commander of the 150th Infantry Regiment.

He said: "General Matsuda, you should not be responsible for this matter. The battle plan drawn up by Yoshito Hamada has suffered disastrous failures every time, especially the last time the entire 128th Brigade was ruined, and what he provided The information was also obviously inaccurate. The reason why Commander Yokota's Third Air Force suffered heavy losses was also because of the inaccurate information provided by Yoshito Hamada.

Facts have proved that Hamada Yoshiro is an irresponsible person, and the heavy losses suffered by Huang Jun were all caused by him. For such a person, I think he must be held accountable. "

Seeing General Matsuda's face, Yokota Makio didn't say anything else at first, but when he mentioned this, he couldn't help but said: "Yes, Matsuda-kun, this matter has nothing to do with you, and Hamada Yoshito must be sure. severely punished."

All the generals present also nodded in agreement.

Everyone has reached a consensus now, and they remembered that whenever Hamada Yizhi participated in the matter, Huang Jun would suffer heavy losses every time.Even in the earliest incident where Ayumi Hamasaki was assassinated in public, Yoshito Hamada was the one who made the security plan, so they all felt that Yoshito Hamada was unreliable in his work, and at least he was a disaster star. Who would cooperate with him? Anyone will be unlucky.

Lieutenant General Momoji Suematsu, head of the 114th Division, said: "Matsuda-kun, you are an excellent soldier, and we all respect you very much. However, it is indeed incompetent for this Hamada Yoshito to be the head of the special high school. Yes. This time it caused a huge loss to Huang Jun, such a person should be punished."

General Haneda, chief of staff of the No.12 Army, has always had a good impression of Yoshito Hamada. Of course, this is mainly because of General Matsuda's recommendation.After everyone said this, he now also feels that Yoshito Hamada seems to be a disaster star, not only causing heavy losses to the 12th Army, but also embarrassing the 12th Army to the international community.

Now, General Haneda is also beginning to feel dissatisfied with Hamada Yoshihito. Out of respect for General Matsuda, he asked: "Matsuda-kun, what do you think of the major incidents caused by the Huang Army because of Hamada Yoshizhi's plan?" The loss?"

General Haneda's words were already very tactful, but it also clearly showed his dissatisfaction with Hamada Yoshito.

Facing such enormous pressure, General Matsuda could completely shift the responsibility for failure to Hamada Yoshihito. However, General Matsuda is a standard professional soldier who has a strong sense of responsibility to his superiors and subordinates, and has the courage to take responsibility. The mistakes of subordinates will not be taken for no reason.However, he always believed that Hamada Yoshito did nothing wrong.

He said sincerely: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, gentlemen, Hamada Yoshitoshi was indeed an important participant in the heavy losses suffered by the No. 12 Army, and he certainly has his responsibility.

I think that the main responsibility is not on him. The reason why I think this is not to cover him up. I have carefully sorted out all the incidents. Now, I want to put these things out and ask everyone to judge.

The battle plan that Yoshito Hamada participated in did fail, but have you noticed?The failures that Huang Jun encountered were because Huang Jun's opponent was the notorious Gao Jiu.

According to the information provided by the Shanghai Secret Service Headquarters, during Gao Jiu's stay in Wuhan, he blew up the Xinfeng River Bridge and the Yujiang Bridge, participated in the annihilation of two reinforced regiments of the 106th Division and one reinforced regiment of the Third Division, and attacked The Division Headquarters of the Sixth Division seriously injured Mr. Gu Shoufu, the commander of the Sixth Division, uncovered the Japanese spy organization in Wuhan, etc., and caused other losses to the Huang Army. His crimes are too numerous to list.

These incidents in Wuhan did not involve the participation of Hamada Yoshihito, and these incidents involved Tani Shoufu, the head of the Sixth Division, Imai Takeo, the head of the Third Division, and the 106th Division. Chief Matsuura Junrokuro, they are all famous generals of the Japanese Yellow Army, and they all suffered heavy defeats in front of Gao Jiu. "

General Matsuda stopped at this point, he needs to let the generals present digest the facts he said.

Sure enough, all the generals, including General Haneda, were shocked by this bloody fact.They now understood that General Matsuda was not trying to excuse Yoshito Hamada, because it was not Yoshito Hamada who actually caused losses to the imperial army, but this terrifying enemy Gao Jiu.

General Matsuda noticed the changes on everyone's faces. He knew that everyone had listened. He continued: "Our enemy Gao Jiu is a rare and powerful opponent. I have to admit that there is no way to deal with this powerful enemy. I have no clue."

Having said that, he stopped again. He is a very cultivated person, and he would not ask "Which of you is sure?" In this case, he should set aside time for everyone to think carefully.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. To be honest, although they were all experienced senior generals, they didn't know how to deal with an enemy like Gao Jiu.

General Matsuda said: "For now, in the entire Yellow Army of Japan, Yoshito Hamada knows the most about Gao Jiu. Every time he formulates a battle plan, he brings it here for discussion, and he can be regarded as very good. The only problem with the battle plan is that the opponent is too strong.

Although Yoshito Hamada fought repeatedly in front of Gao Jiu, he still did not give up, seized every opportunity, and wanted to eliminate this enemy who did great harm to Huang Jun.

He knew that if he failed, he would be questioned and even punished, but he still insisted on doing so, which showed his loyalty to His Majesty Tianhuang and the Yellow Army of Japan as a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire.Therefore, I think Yoshito Hamada should not only not be punished, but should also be commended for his acts of loyalty and bravery. "

General Matsuda's words, the facts are very clear, and the attitude is extremely sincere. Everyone thought about it seriously. If you put yourself in the position of Hamada Yoshito, I am afraid that it is really not as good as Hamada Yoshito.Therefore, everyone gave up the idea of ​​sanctioning Yoshito Hamada.

General Haneda agrees with General Matsuda, he nodded and said: "Don't mention the past, what we need now is to unite as one to reverse the current crisis.

Now let's discuss how to reinforce the 18th Wing in Taohuashan. "

To be honest, when they heard that Gao Jiu was going to face Taohuashan, all the generals present felt a headache, especially Shigeru Suematsu, the commander of the 114th Division, and Saburo Isoda, the chief of staff. There was a feeling of fear, and no one wanted to be the first to come forward.

There was a silence in the hall.

The first to break the silence was Makio Yokota of the Third Air Force. He personally went to the airport to see the injured bomber and heard the report from the crew members. He could tell that the ground fire they encountered was a Czech-style attack. Caused by light machine guns and crooked sub-machine guns.

This shows that the enemy has no anti-aircraft weapons, and it is only because they fly at low altitude that they encounter the blows caused by the enemy's ordinary machine guns.As long as the altitude of the flight is controlled, the loss of the aircraft should be avoided.

Makio Yokota felt distressed because of the loss of three planes. He was eager to take revenge, and felt that there was no major problem technically. Therefore, he first said: "Our Third Air Force is willing to attack the 18th Air Force. The team dropped supplies and bombed the enemy."

General Haneda expressed his appreciation for Yokota's attitude. He said: "Very good. With the strong cooperation of the Air Force, it will play a great role in turning the tide of the battle."

General Matsuda said: "I suggest mobilizing the Yamamoto garrison to Peach Blossom Mountain to relieve the siege."

General Haneda agreed and decided to mobilize two regiments of the [-]th Division of the Security Forces to participate in the rescue operation.

The 114th Division is currently the main force in the Shandong area. When it comes to this matter, the division commander Moji Suematsu and the chief of staff Saburo Isoda have no reason to shirk.They decided to mobilize the 127th Infantry Regiment of the 56th Infantry Brigade to participate in this rescue operation.

The operation meeting finally determined the operation plan to rescue the 18th Wing.

The battle was under the unified command of Major General Mitsuzaburo Akiyama, head of the 127th Brigade, and consisted of the 56th Regiment, three brigades of the Yamamoto Garrison and two regiments of the Fourth Division of the Public Security Army.

According to its own situation, the Third Air Force airdropped supplies to the 18th Wing and bombed the Taohuashan guerrillas.

General Matsuda said that the Gendarmerie Command will order the gendarmerie units in the counties around Taohuashan to provide material support to the Huang Army troops participating in this operation.

A war of unprecedented scale is about to break out in Southwest Shandong.

A great war broke out in Taohuashan, and the underground party in Jinan City and the Jinan Station of the military command also took action one after another, striving to provide the Taohuashan guerrillas with information on Japanese reinforcements.

However, it was Gao Wannian, commander of the 4th Division of the Public Security Army, who provided information to Gao Jiu first.He received the order to personally lead the two regiments of the Fourth Division to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Peach Blossom Mountain, and he immediately sent the telegram to Gao Jiu.

Taohua Mountain No. 67.

Gao Jiu received the telegram and said with a smile: "This time the devil dispatched an infantry regiment and three battalions of the garrison, plus two regiments of security forces, there are more than 1 people. Air Force, you really think highly of our Peach Blossom Mountain."

Everyone felt a lot of pressure when they heard this.The Japanese troops participating in the battle this time included three brigades of the Yamamoto Garrison of the 114th Regiment of the 56th Division, plus the surrounded 18th Regiment. With the addition of the puppet army of the two regiments, the scale of this battle has surpassed the last battle that took place in Zhiyuan County.

Wang Zhankui said: "Master Jiu, the scale of the Japanese army surpassed that of the battle that took place in Zhiyuan County, but ours is much smaller than last time. I suggest that you come forward and ask our king's seat for help."

Gao Jiu adopted his suggestion and personally sent a telegram to Wang Jindong.

Zhiyuan County.

Wang Jindong received the telegram and said to Chief of Staff Liu: "Brother Gao once again asked for reinforcements, what do you think should be done?"

Chief of Staff Liu thought for a while and said: "Master, our 187th Division is guarding three counties, and the strength is obviously insufficient. It is indeed difficult to deploy troops to reinforce Taohuashan.

However, we must support Brother Gao. I have an idea, don't we still have two supplementary groups?Send them to Brother Gao. "

Wang Jindong laughed and said, "You! What an old fox. Although you have helped Brother Gao by sending the supplementary regiment over, we are the ones who benefit the most. If these two supplementary regiments can fight with Brother Gao, they will Your combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved, which will be more effective than how long we train."

This is the case with Guan Lie's supplementary regiment, which is now a main force capable of conscripting and fighting well.

Chief of Staff Wang said with a smile: "Aren't we allied with Brother Gao? We need to help each other. We are helping ourselves when we help Brother Gao."

Wang Jindong said: "Let's do it like this. In addition, we will send Brother Gao 50 rounds of ammunition from our inventory."

Chief of Staff Liu quickly arranged these things, and then sent a telegram back to Gao Jiu.

Wang Jindong sent nearly 4000 reinforcements to Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu felt more at ease.He was determined to hit the Japanese army hard, scaring and scaring the Japanese army in Shandong, so that they would never dare to attack Taohuashan easily in the future.

Peach Blossom Hill, No. 43 Hill.

Nakajima Hyogo's stomach also started to growl, "Gurr, grunt".So far, the Japanese army has not eaten for a whole day, and even drinking water must be strictly controlled. Everyone is hungry and thirsty, and morale is very low.

Nakajima Hyogo felt that his stomach was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help reaching out to rub it.A trusted guard said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Captain, I know that you share weal and woe with the soldiers, but you are the supreme commander, and your health must not collapse. Otherwise, who will command the entire regiment? Therefore, I I suggest you eat something."

Nakajima Hyogo really wanted to eat something, but he saw the officers and soldiers around him cast wolf-like gazes, so he thought about it and decided to forget it.

He said righteously again: "You bastard! I must share weal and woe with the soldiers."

The soldier who advised him was his personal bodyguard. He knew his officer too well. Just let outsiders see it.

In order to cooperate with Nakajima's performance, he immediately said: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Captain, you are so considerate of your subordinates, you are really a role model for us."

The officers and soldiers in the temporary headquarters were indeed moved by Nakajima's performance, and they seemed to feel less hungry.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted over, and then they heard cheers from a distant hill.It turned out that it was the anti-Japanese armed forces who had dinner.

Li Chengwu bought all the chicken, duck and fish that could be bought in Taoyuan Town. Seeing the delicious meat in pots, the officers and soldiers couldn't help cheering loudly.

At this time, the southeast wind was blowing in the mountains, and on the two hilltops south of No. 43 Mountain, the strong fragrance was blown by the wind.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army suddenly felt more uncomfortable in their stomachs. They instinctively wanted to swallow their spittle to resist hunger. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough water to drink, and even their spitting was much less than before.

Nakajima Fengwu was very frustrated. He knew that no matter how he set an example and mobilized the officers and soldiers to continue to persevere, he could not keep up with the lethality caused by the enemy's cooking to the officers and soldiers.

Nakajima felt that he should do something, so he patrolled the mountain back and forth hungry, greeted the officers and soldiers affectionately when he saw them, and encouraged them to persevere.

The regiment attached next to him also cooperated with his work very well. Every time he saw a group of new Japanese officers and soldiers, he said that the captain of the regiment had not touched a drop of water, and continued to persevere just like them.

Hōgo Nakajima was hungry, and turned around so top-heavy, which somewhat helped, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and continued to persevere.

As night fell, the officers and soldiers sat on the ground.They all closed their eyes, hoping that they could fall asleep as soon as possible and forget their hunger.It's a pity that those hateful anti-Japanese troops didn't let them stop at all,
Li Chengwu had already transported the eight [-]-type infantry artillery from Taoyuan Town, and they fired a burst of shells at the Japanese army every half an hour.

There were a large number of Japanese soldiers on the mountain, and they were all exposed on the mountain. The 3.8-kilogram shells from the Type [-] infantry artillery flew over and exploded a large area, causing them great casualties.

The Japanese army wanted to fight back against the Japanese army, but they only had mortars in their hands, so they couldn't hit that far, and they didn't have many shells, so they could only be bombed.

Hongo Nakajima lamented: "These are all my cannons." Now he regrets bringing these [-]-type infantry cannons to Taohuashan. Not only did they not come in handy, but they were used by the enemy to bomb him.

Then, there was something that made him even more dumbfounded.Those damned anti-Japanese troops will not stop for a moment, once they stop firing artillery, they will have other tricks.

On the mountain in the southeast, someone was playing a gramophone, which actually played Japanese songs.These records were carefully selected by Gao Jiu, specially selected some tunes expressing sadness.

The ghosts trapped on the mountain were already very depressed. Hearing these babbling and sad tunes, the Japanese army became even more depressed.

They were starving, and when they heard the wailing of the wounded soldiers around them, many people's spirits were on the verge of collapse, and many soldiers cried because they were homesick.

One soldier had a nervous breakdown. He stood up, dropped his rifle, and shouted, "Mom, I'm going home."

Not far away, the devil's squadron leader was terrified when he saw him like this.Because he knows that if such a thing that shakes the morale of the army is not stopped quickly, it will lead to very bad consequences, and may even lead to the collapse of the entire army.

He hurried over, trying to gag the soldier while reprimanding him.Unexpectedly, when the soldier saw the devil officer coming, he became even more frightened.He turned and ran, howling as he ran, "Mom, I'm going home, I'm going home."

The devil's squadron leader knew that if he didn't stop him quickly, he himself would be punished by the team leader. He desperately chased the soldier, but he didn't expect that soldier to run faster, and he couldn't catch up for a while.

He got a little anxious, took out his pistol and shot him.

The devil's squadron leader originally just wanted to hurt him, so he aimed at the soldier's ass.

Unexpectedly, the soldier stumbled and fell short, and the bullet hit his back, killing the soldier on the spot.

The ghost soldiers were not in a good state of mind at the moment, and when they heard the soldier's shout, they all felt homesick.

They saw that the devil's squadron leader killed the soldier, and their eyes were full of hatred.

Although under the strict discipline of the Japanese army, these soldiers did not dare to resist openly, but it is impossible for them to work hard like before.

In the middle of the night, Nakajima Hōgo had not heard the sound of artillery for more than half an hour. He thought to himself that these damned anti-Japanese troops had finally subsided.

He was thinking about going to sleep, when he smelled a scent in his nose again, this gang of bloody anti-Japanese soldiers actually had supper.

Nakajima Hōgo heard the cries of soldiers coming from outside the tent, and he didn't bother to stop it because he wanted to cry too.He also began to think about his elderly mother, his lovely wife and children.

Not long after, he heard gunshots nearby, and after a while, the wing came in with a dejected expression on his face. He said, "Your Excellency, the commander of the wing, a communication soldier directly under the squadron shot himself."

Nakajima Hongo waved his hand feebly without even raising his head, and the unit retreated with interest.

Early the next morning, Jinan City.

On the military airfield in the east of the city, 16 bombers roared into the sky.

Yokota Makio, the commander of the Japanese Third Air Force, looked at the huge fleet in the sky with a ferocious smile on his face.
