The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 445 Good things are coming
"Jiuye, you live a very comfortable life." Gao Hong said enviously when he saw the various facilities in Peach Blossom Mountain.

"Commander Gao, we are really destined. You are welcome to Southwest Shandong. From now on, we can fight against Japan together."

Gao Jiu was really happy about Gao Hong's arrival. They were acquaintances at first, and they had a close relationship with each other, so they could discuss anything.

After the welcome banquet, the Taohuashan guerrillas and the underground party Luxinan Military Division held a joint meeting.

The six masters of Taohuashan, Gao Hong, Chen Yuehan, Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong attended the meeting.

This meeting is very important, related to the survival of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Southwest Military Division.

Since Wang Jindong's newly formed 187th Division left Southwest Shandong, the anti-Japanese forces in Southwest Shandong have been greatly weakened, leaving only the Taohuashan guerrillas and the newly established Southwest Military Division to depend on each other.Now that the enemy situation is so serious, it will be even more important for them to cooperate with each other in the future.

Gao Hong was originally a secret agent, and he had only a few months of experience in leading the Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas. Now that he took over the Shandong Southwest Military Division, it was difficult for him to adapt for a while, and he felt a lot of pressure.Chen Yuehan also had no experience in military combat, and the two of them valued Gao Jiu's opinion very much now.

Gao Hong said sincerely: "Jiu Ye, we would like to hear your opinion on the next fight against the enemy."

Gao Jiu pointed to the sand table and said: "In the southwest of Shandong today, there are the 114th Division and the 8th Division of the Japanese Army in the direction of Jinan, and we must guard against their raids on the Southwest of Shandong at any time.

The military division has just been established, and it cannot resist the large-scale Japanese attack. I suggest that the development of your military division should avoid its edge. The specific idea is that there are 14 counties in Southwest Shandong, and you should focus on the development of Taohuashanxi In the southern region, local government was established in the vast rural areas of Lu County, Lanxi County, and Zhiyuan County, and the grassroots anti-Japanese armed forces were developed to gradually strengthen the anti-Japanese forces.

Try not to attack the county seat, it will not be able to defend if it is defeated, and it is easy to cause heavy losses.In this area, leaving the enemy's counties can, on the one hand, disperse the strength of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, can also obtain the needed materials through these counties.

Yu County should not be developed for the time being, leaving it as a buffer zone between central Shandong and southwestern Shandong.The rural areas around Tai'an were not developed for the time being, as a buffer zone between the Taohuashan guerrillas and the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The Taohuashan guerrillas have established a basic relationship of mutual trust with the Japanese and puppet troops in Pingyue County and Shoucheng County, and the Taohuashan guerrillas are in control.

Your military sub-region must concentrate its forces and seize the time to control the vast rural areas in the counties southwest of Taohua Mountain.I suggest that the independent regiment of the military division leave a reinforced company in the Shangzhuangzi base area, continue to operate the original anti-Japanese base area, transfer the main force to the newly expanded areas, destroy the Japanese and puppet grassroots regimes, and widely establish rural anti-Japanese grassroots regimes. "

Gao Jiu's words are very clear, that is, the 14 counties in Southwest Shandong were divided, and the two counties were controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops as a buffer zone.Two were controlled by the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the Southwest Military Division developed anti-Japanese armed forces and established grassroots regimes in the remaining ten counties.

As a result of this division, the respective spheres of influence of the Southwest Military Division of Shandong and the Taohuashan guerrillas were separated, so that there would be no conflicts between the two sides.However, when the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack, Pingyue County and Shoucheng County would bear the brunt, and the Taohuashan guerrillas actually became a barrier for the Southwest Army Division.

Gao Hong and Chen Yuehan were very moved, and they also wanted to share some difficulties for the Taohuashan guerrillas, but with their current strength, they could not stop the Japanese attack at all, so they had no choice but to express their gratitude to Gao Jiu.

Jiang Xiaomei's mood is very complicated. On the one hand, she is a little reluctant to let her leave the long-running Shangzhuangzi base.On the one hand, she knew that Gao Jiu did not want her independent regiment to face the large-scale Japanese attack directly, and she was very moved.

She said: "Ninth brother, I listen to your opinion, but do you think Zhuangzi should leave more troops in the base area?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Sister! Don't be reluctant. Once the Japanese army starts to attack on a large scale, the Shangzhuangzi base will be unable to defend sooner or later. The main force of your independent regiment grows in the southwest of Taohua Mountain, which is equivalent to establishing a With a relatively stable rear, if Peach Blossom Mountain cannot be defended, we can still have a way out."

After this meeting, the Southwest Military Sub-region of Shandong transferred its military authority to a village in Zhiyuan County.Jiang Xiaomei's independent regiment left the Shangzhuangzi base area, divided troops and mobilized the masses in counties southwest of Taohua Mountain, cooperated with the military division to establish local power, and strengthened the militia organization.

In the following time, Gao Jiu saw that there was no sign of the Japanese army launching a large-scale attack on Taohua Mountain for the time being, so he focused his energy on the construction of the internal affairs of the cottage.

On this day, Gao Jiu came to the arsenal built in Taohua Cave.

The Taohuashan Armory has begun to take shape, with production lines for Czech light machine gun bullets and Type [-] rifle bullets, both of which were provided by Lin Wenhan.

There is also a 150-type rifle bullet production line assembled by German engineers Leo, Lucas and others.This production line can only produce reloaded bullets, which need to be recovered and reassembled. Compared with the original bullets, the performance of the reloaded bullets is slightly worse, and the effective distance is also worse, but the difference is almost the same. The performance within [-] meters is basically same.

Taohuashan guerrilla shooting requires high accuracy, and the team members will not use such bullets.The reason why Gao Jiu wanted to assemble such a production line was mainly to provide it to the militia in Fortress Village.

As long as the raw materials are sufficient, these three bullet production lines can produce [-] rounds of bullets per day.

In addition, there is also a grenade production line that can assemble 400 grenades per day, which can basically meet the operational needs of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The Taohua Mountains have limited resources, which are basically provided by 17 fortress villages. Gao Jiu did not want to continue to expand the scale of the arsenal. He just hoped that the arsenal could develop a rocket launcher. Deal with all the equipment of the Japanese infantry, buildings such as bunkers and gun towers.

In today's arsenal, apart from German engineers Leo, Lucas, and some German skilled workers, there are also eight disabled special forces soldiers who were injured on the battlefield.Currently, Bazel and Lena's family are also helping out in the arsenal.

Lei Ao and Lucas were busy in the workshop, and when they saw Gao Jiu coming, they invited him to the conference room.Leo spread out the blueprint of the bazooka on the table and reported the progress to Gao Jiu.He said excitedly: "The master, we have basically overcome the technical difficulties, and we can produce samples and test them in one month at most."

Gao Jiu was very happy, and rewarded Leo and Lucas with 200 oceans each, and all the technicians in the R&D team with 30 oceans each.He said that when the rocket launcher is successfully developed, they will be rewarded heavily.

Leo and Lucas were very happy and thanked Gao Jiu.

Afterwards, Lucas took out a list of supplies and said to Gao Jiu: "Boss, the raw materials you brought back from Wuhan are almost used up, and other raw materials are easy to handle, and you can almost buy them around. Copper consumes the most, and the sporadic purchases around cannot meet the needs of production, so you have to think of a way."

At this time, most of the bullet casings were made of copper. In order to avoid scratching the barrel, the bullet was also coated with a thin layer of copper material, so copper was in great demand.Copper is a war preparation material, and the Japanese and puppets are extremely strict in controlling it. The copper materials that the people can provide are very limited, which cannot meet the needs of the Taohuashan Arsenal at all.

After thinking for a while, Gao Jiu said: "Since there are not enough materials now, you can slow down the production speed and give everyone more rest time. I will solve the problem of copper materials immediately."

Dadongzhuang, Gaoping County.

Chen Zhiyong, head of the Independent Regiment of the Southeast Shandong Military Division, was supported by a large number of weapons and ammunition from Gao Jiu. More than 200 people.

He was training the troops every day. Seeing that the training of the troops had achieved certain results, he thought about going out to fight a battle, to train the troops, and to seize some weapons, ammunition and supplies along the way.

On this day, Chen Zhiyong held a meeting of cadres above the company to study the matter of going out to fight.

There are two targets within a radius of a hundred miles from Dadongzhuang. One is the Japanese stronghold in Wuma Town, where an infantry squadron of the Japanese army and a squadron of security forces are stationed.Another target was Gaoping County, where a Japanese brigade headquarters and two infantry squadrons were stationed, a security army brigade headquarters and two squadrons, and a police brigade were stationed.

They don't have the ability to attack the county for the time being, and the number of Japanese army strongholds in Wuma Town is relatively small, but it is still too much for the newly formed independent regiment.

Although Chen Zhiyong's independent regiment has more than 1500 people, no more than 300 people have real combat effectiveness.There are more than 300 devils and puppet troops in Wuma Town, and the independent regiment is not sure of destroying them.

Moreover, Wuma Town is only more than 20 miles away from the county seat. Once the battle starts, the Japanese army in Gaoping County can come to reinforce it at any time.

After researching and researching, everyone feels more discouraged.Chen Zhiyong had a lot of tricky ideas for fighting. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to adopt a fishing tactic, use a company of troops to attack the Japanese stronghold in Wuma Town, lure the Japanese army to pursue them, and then lay them in an ambush.

Everyone felt that Commander Chen's opinion was more reliable, so they began to study the details of the battle.

Just then, the sentry brought a man in a black uniform.

Chen Zhiyong recognized it at first glance, and it turned out to be Wang Guimin, the combat staff officer of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

When Chen Zhiyong saw Wang Guimin, he had a premonition: something good is coming again.He stepped forward to hold Wang Guimin's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Consultant Wang, what brought you here, how is Jiu Ye?"

Wang Guimin said: "Master Jiu is very good. He asked me to say hello to Head Chen and the brothers from the Independent Regiment."

Chen Zhiyong happily introduced Wang Guimin to the cadres of the whole regiment.The cadres of the independent regiment have also heard of the reputation of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and are grateful for their great assistance to the independent regiment.Everyone applauded warmly and welcomed Wang Guimin.

Wang Guimin said: "Master Chen, brothers, do you want to get rich? Master Jiu said that he wants to fight a joint battle with you. I wonder if you are willing?"

When Chen Zhiyong heard this, he immediately became excited.He said: "Great, we are preparing to fight the devils. The Ninth Master is here, and we just learn from you the experience of fighting the Japanese army."

Gao Jiu had never missed a battle, and the cadres of the independent regiment became excited when they heard that they could fight with Gao Jiu.

Wang Guimin said: "In order to facilitate joint operations, Master Jiu asked me to bring a small gift."

Having said that, he asked the special forces team members who followed him to send up a 50-watt radio.

This is a good thing. Not only did Chen Zhiyong's independent regiment not have such equipment, even the newly formed Lunan Military Division did not have such equipment.Chen Zhiyong looked at the radio station very excitedly, and the cadres of the independent group surrounded him curiously.

Chen Zhiyong said excitedly: "Thank you to the Taohuashan guerrillas, thank you to Master Jiu, and thank you to Staff Officer Wang."

Li Yao, the political commissar of the Independence Group, is also a veteran of the Red Army, one year older than Chen Zhiyong.He also thanked Wang Guimin, then scratched his head and said, "Staff Wang, this thing is good, but no one in our independent regiment can make it."

Wang Guimin said with a smile: "Master Jiu has already considered this point, and specially sent you a radio operator. He will stay in your independent group for a period of time and help you train several radio operators."

Li Yao said happily: "Mr. Gao is really thoughtful, thank you so much."

Chen Zhiyong asked: "When will Master Jiu and the others come and where are they going to fight?"

Wang Guimin took out a military map, pointed to a spot on it and said, "Master Jiu wants to attack the Wangjia'ao Copper Mine."

The Wangjiaao Copper Mine is on the other side of the county, more than 120 miles away from Dadongzhuang. There is a Japanese guard, a security squadron, more than 50 Japanese expatriates, and 400 fighters with strong combat effectiveness.The copper mine has built many strong firepower points on the mountains, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Not only that, but the independent regiment was going to mine copper mines and had to pass through the county town, and it might be intercepted by the Japanese army at any time.They don't have this strength, so they don't have the idea of ​​going to the copper mine.

However, now that the Taohuashan guerrillas are fighting together, the situation is different.With the fighting power of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the devils in this area only have a large brigade, and they are no match for the Taohuashan guerrillas at all.The independent group fought with Gao Jiu purely to pick up cheap, so everyone was very happy.

Next, Wang Guimin's words made Chen Zhiyong and others even more happy.He said: "Jiuye said that after this battle, he only needs the copper ingots in the copper mine, half of the captured funds will be distributed to you, and all the weapons and ammunition captured will belong to you."

Chen Zhiyong clenched his fist excitedly, waved vigorously in the air, and shouted loudly: "It's done."

Political commissar Li Yao and the cadres of the independent regiment clapped together excitedly.

Wang Guimin said: "Jiu Ye sent me to the front station to grasp the enemy's situation. I hope you can send someone to go with me to the copper mine to investigate."

Chen Zhiyong said, "I'll go with you."

Three days later, Gao Jiu received a telegram from Wang Guimin, saying that he had found out the Wangjiaao Copper Mine and the enemy's situation and terrain in Gaoping County.

Not long after, Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui, and Du Shengxi led the Taohuashan guerrilla special warfare brigade and the cavalry brigade to leave Taohuashan, all the way east, crossing the Jinpu Railway, and came to Dadongzhuang.

Chen Zhiyong and Li Yao led the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment to line up at the village entrance to welcome the arrival of the Taohuashan guerrillas.
