The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 446

The cavalry brigade of the Taohuashan guerrillas helped the Independence Regiment to escort weapons and ammunition. They had been to Dadongzhuang before, and the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment had already seen them.Now, they saw the even more famous Peach Blossom Mountain Special Forces Brigade.

Not only everyone in the Taohuashan Special Forces Brigade has horses, but also a pack horse for every two people. The special forces members have a sniper rifle, a 20-gun shell gun, a bullet box on their waist, a dagger, and a pistol on their back. Engineers with shovels and cantaloupe grenades hung on their shoulders. Each of them carried a large package weighing tens of kilograms, and they didn't know what was inside.

There are many light and heavy machine guns, mortars and disassembled Type [-] infantry guns on those pack horses.The officers and soldiers of the independent regiment were envious of these equipments. The special forces members looked very strong, and because the food was so good, their faces were all shiny.These guys exude a murderous look, and the expressions on their faces reveal an unconcealable arrogance.

Chen Zhiyong and Li Yao are very envious of the Taohuashan guerrillas. With such a powerful special warfare brigade, they also want to have such subordinates. Unfortunately, they can only think about it, because the independent regiment simply cannot afford such a team. soldiers.

The soldiers of the independent regiment practiced the welcome etiquette in advance, and under the leadership of the battalion commander on duty, they shouted together: "Welcome the Taohuashan guerrillas, welcome Jiu Ye and everyone in charge."

Gao Jiu and the others bowed their hands and returned the salute, paying tribute to the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment.

The Independent Regiment gave everything they had and hosted a banquet for the Taohuashan guerrillas.Their family background is too thin, and this meal made them bleed profusely. However, the quality of the meal is not as good as the usual meals of the Taohuashan guerrillas. Fortunately, those special forces are able to endure hardships. , They often eat and sleep in the wild, but they didn't show any dissatisfaction.

When Chen Zhiyong and others went to Peach Blossom Mountain, Gao Jiu and others hosted a banquet for them, and the independent group could not learn that standard.

Chen Zhiyong said with some embarrassment: "Jiu Ye, everyone in charge! The food and drink are really a bit shabby, and I am really sorry to treat you slowly."

Gao Jiu sincerely praised the Eighth Route Army's hard-working spirit.

After the welcome banquet, in the conference room of the independent regiment, the leaders of Taohuashan and the cadres above the independent regiment battalion discussed the battle plan together.

Gao Jiu first solicited the opinions of the cadres of the independent regiment.

The cadres of the independent regiment had already discussed in advance, this time they wanted to observe the fighting methods of the Taohuashan guerrillas.Li Yao said: "Mr. Gao, our independent regiment has just been established and has not fought a large-scale battle with the Japanese army. This time our independent regiment is willing to obey the command of the Taohuashan guerrillas and learn from you seriously."

Gao Jiu was not polite either, he nodded and said, "Okay then, let's fight this battle together, Wang Guimin, let's talk about it first."

Wang Guimin said: "To attack the Wangjiaao Copper Mine, we have to bypass Gaoping County. Our army can use a secret march to bypass Gaoping County at night.

However, once the Japanese army in Gaoping County receives a request for help from the Wangjiaao Copper Mine, it is bound to provide reinforcements to the Wangjiaao Copper Mine.

Therefore, the key to this battle is how to defeat the Japanese army in Gaoping County.

My opinion is that the Japanese army did not know that the Taohuashan guerrillas had come to Gaoping County, so the independent regiment could besiege the Wangjiaao Copper Mine and attract the Japanese troops in Gaoping County to go for reinforcements, and the Taohuashan guerrillas would fight the Japanese ambush on the way , After annihilating the Japanese army, go to attack the Wangjiaao copper mine.

After the battle started, it took about one hour and 20 minutes from the dispatch of the Japanese troops in Gaoping County to the elimination of them. After the battle, it took 50 minutes for the Taohuashan guerrillas to rush to the Wangjiaao Copper Mine.It takes about one hour to lay down the Wangjiaao Copper Mine, and it takes three and a half hours to clean up the battlefield, transport supplies, and return to Dadongzhuang. The estimated total combat time is six and a half hours. "

Chen Zhiyong, Li Yao and the cadres of the Independence Battalion heard Wang Guimin's tone of voice too loudly. They even regarded the Japanese army as air, and even stipulated the specific time of the battle. It was really crazy.If it weren't for the reputation of the Taohuashan guerrillas, they would definitely regard Wang Guimin as Zhao Kuo on paper.

Even so, Chen Zhiyong kindly reminded: "Consultant Wang, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, should there be more room for combat time?"

Du Sheng didn't like to hear it. He said: "Commander Chen, this is how the Taohuashan guerrillas fought in the Russians. There is room for this. The last time the Russians went to Tai'an to wipe out a Japanese brigade of more than 1000 devils, it took only 5 Minutes. Allowing so much time this time is enough to look down on the devil."

The cadres of the independent regiment know the fighting power of the devils, and the devils are really hard to fight.It took only 1000 minutes to wipe out more than 5 people in a brigade of devils. The cadres of the independent regiment couldn't believe it, but when they saw the relaxed expressions on the faces of the leaders of the Taohuashan guerrillas, they believed it was true. Yes, there is only one word left in their hearts: "Submit!"

Wang Guimin went on to say: "During these six hours or so, the Japanese troops from other places could come to reinforce, including the strength of a brigade of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Rong County, and the 8th Regiment of the 15th Regiment of the Japanese Army in the direction of Tai'an." Troops of the brigade.

When attacking the copper mine, as long as the name of the Taohuashan guerrilla was reported, the Japanese army of the 114th Division did not dare to come for reinforcements, and the Japanese army of the No. 15 Brigade would not come for reinforcements.Therefore, the only enemies our army faced in this battle were the Japanese brigade and the defenders of the copper mine. "

Seeing that Wang Guimin's words became more and more crazy, Li Yao was able to make a judgment that the Japanese army would not come for reinforcements, which was a bit outrageous.

As we all know, the reason why the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is strong is that they must avenge their revenge, and when they encounter danger, the adjacent troops will definitely desperately reinforce them. This gave the Japanese army the motivation to persist in fighting when they encountered danger.

For such an important target of the Wangjiaao Copper Mine, Wang Guimin actually judged that the Japanese army would not come to reinforce it, which is really unbelievable.

The cadres of the independent regiment looked at each other and felt that the Taohuashan guerrillas were a little too unreliable, and it was too dangerous to fight with them.

Li Yao asked: "Consultant Wang, we still need to think carefully about things. Once the Japanese army comes to reinforce us, we still need to think about how our army will retreat."

Zhang Quan was also a little unhappy. He said: "We have killed a brigade of the 114th Division. The troops below the size of the regiment dare not provoke our Taohuashan guerrillas at all. They dare not use a brigade The troops came to die.

As for the 15th Brigade, my ninth master has an agreement with them that the well water will not interfere with the river water, and they will not come to make trouble, so you can rest assured. "

Chen Zhiyong and others had heard of the battles carried out by the Taohuashan guerrillas. They had indeed destroyed a brigade of the 114th Division and forced a regiment of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army to surrender collectively.With such combat power, a brigade of the Japanese army really didn't have the guts to come to seek death, and they also recognized this statement.

Gao Jiu had an agreement with the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army, which surprised the cadres of the independent regiment.Chen Zhiyong said: "Master Jiu, the 15th Brigade of the Japanese Army has a lot of troops in Tai'an. Will they keep their promises?"

Zhang Quan said disdainfully: "The ghosts of the 15th Brigade in Tai'an just sent 5 oceans to my Jiu Ye not long ago. I dare not break my promise if I borrow their courage."

"It's awesome. It's really amazing." The cadres of the independent regiment heard their blood boiling and admired each one.

Wang Zhankui has been training very calmly now, and he said: "Brothers of the independent regiment, don't worry, our Taohuashan guerrillas will not be so arrogant when doing things. I have sent two platoons of cavalry to monitor the situation separately. The Japanese troops in the direction of Tai’an and Rongxian are equipped with radio stations, and once there is news of the dispatch of the Japanese troops, we will know immediately.”

Now, the cadres of the independent regiment are completely relieved.

Chen Zhiyong said: "Jiu Ye, then proceed according to the combat deployment made by your Taohuashan guerrillas, please issue a combat order."

Gao Jiu said: "Your department gathers the main force, set off at 8 o'clock tonight, arrive at the Wangjia'ao Copper Mine at [-] o'clock in the morning, and launch an attack at [-] o'clock in the morning. Even if you attack boldly, the devils can't figure out your situation, so they dare not act rashly attack.

The attack must be fierce, and there is no need to worry about consuming ammunition. All weapons and ammunition captured after the battle will belong to your independent regiment.If the ammunition is exhausted, we will replenish it for you. "

When Gao Jiu said this, the cadres of the independent group were very excited.Their ammunition is so scarce that usually when they fight, the soldiers don't even have ten bullets in their hands.They really want to fight a good fight, and this time they can finally enjoy themselves.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "After the battle begins, the Japanese and puppet troops in Gaoping County will definitely go to the Wangjia'ao Copper Mine for reinforcements. The task of destroying the enemy's reinforcements will be taken care of by our Taohuashan guerrillas."

Chen Zhiyong said: "Master Jiu, I want to send a battalion to watch and study with you to fight the enemy's reinforcements."

He has a lot of thoughts. On the one hand, he really hopes to learn from the Taohuashan guerrillas. On the other hand, he feels that if he does not send people to attack the enemy's reinforcements and seize weapons and ammunition, he will be a little embarrassed to speak up. Ask Gao Jiu for it.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, then it's settled."

As usual, Gao Jiu once again sought everyone's opinions before deciding on a course of action.He said: "Do you have any disagreements about the deployment of this operation?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Gao Jiu said, "Since there is no disagreement, let's start preparing."

At 3 o'clock in the morning the next day, the battle to attack the Wangjiaao copper mine started.Those who participated in the battle were the main force of the independent regiment led by Chen Zhiyong.

After the battle began, the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment fired together, shouting loudly and launching a feint attack with great momentum.

The Japanese army in the copper mine hurried into the position and resisted desperately.After fighting for a while, they found that there were many anti-Japanese soldiers outside, but their firepower was not strong, and they had no artillery or heavy machine guns. They heard that the Eighth Route Army had an independent regiment in this area, and guessed that they might have come to attack.

The Japanese commander in the mine first asked the Japanese army in Gaoping County for help.The captain of the Japanese army asked about the situation of the attackers, and also believed that the local Eighth Route Army wanted to rob the copper mine to raise supplies.

The captain of the Japanese army did not take the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment seriously. He immediately gathered two squadrons of Japanese troops and one squadron of security forces to reinforce the Wangjiaao Copper Mine.

A unit of the Special Warfare Brigade guarding outside the county gate immediately sent a telegram to Gao Jiu after seeing the Japanese reinforcements leave the city.

After sending the telegram, they quietly came under the city wall, threw out their flying claws, climbed up the city wall, and then hid near the city gate.

Gao Jiu had a big appetite. After he decided to annihilate the main force of the Japanese army, he divided his troops into two groups, one to attack the Wangjiaao Copper Mine, and the other to capture Gaoping County.

In this era, the political cadres in the Eighth Route Army are also good fighters.Li Yao led a battalion of independent regiment fighters, followed the main force of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and ambushed on both sides of the road leading to the Wangjiaao copper mine in Gaoping County.

According to the deployment of the Taohuashan postal guerrillas, an inverted triangle ambush position was established, and the three companies under Li Yao were scattered in the Taohuashan guerrilla formation.

The Japanese army was very arrogant. They ran in a neat queue on the road, and the sound of motorcycle engines, horseshoes and footsteps on the road rang out.

Seeing the Japanese army entering the ambush circle, it was also Tagawa's sniper team who opened fire first.

They could not see other targets at night, but the Japanese officers on horseback could still see them clearly.

"Clap clap clap."

After a burst of gunfire, all the Japanese officers on horseback were knocked off their horses, including the captain of the Japanese army.

The sound of gunfire was an order. Dozens of light and heavy machine guns of the special forces members fired together. Other members of the Taohuashan guerrillas and soldiers of the independent regiment also fired fiercely at the Japanese army.

The sudden blow caught the Japanese army by surprise, and soon wiped out most of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Seeing the fierce firepower of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas, Li Yao shouted excitedly: "Send the order to go down and prepare to charge."

Due to the lack of ammunition, the Eighth Route Army had developed the tactic of rushing forward to fight the Japanese army with bayonets after the first round of fire attack.Gao Jiu saw Li Yao's actions and said, "Commissioner Li, don't charge, it will cause too many casualties."

Li Yao said eagerly: "If you don't rush up, you will give the devils a chance to breathe. Once they organize an effective counterattack, this battle will be difficult to fight."

What he said made some sense. It is very difficult to wipe out the enemy with firepower in the dark today. The enemy will use the terrain and features to launch an organized counterattack. It is very difficult to wipe them out.

Gao Jiu said: "It doesn't matter, you tell your soldiers to follow my request."

After hearing Gao Jiu's request, Li Yao felt a little unbelievable, and felt a little unhappy.
