The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 447
Li Yao was very dissatisfied with Gao Jiu's order, but because it had been agreed in advance that the independent regiment was to obey Gao Jiu's command this time, so he still passed on the order according to Gao Jiu's request.

The soldiers of the Independence Regiment were also very dissatisfied when they heard this order. They were asked to hide in the bunker, hide all their bodies, and shoot into the sky.The soldiers were unwilling to waste bullets, and they were reluctant to obey this order.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were unwilling to do this, the special forces members had to separate some of them to hide in the bunker and shoot into the sky.

Li Yao was a little confused when she saw the special forces members doing this.But after he observed carefully for a while, he understood.

It turned out that because it was night, it was difficult for both sides to see the exact position of the enemy, and they could only judge based on the muzzle fire.Gao Jiu asked the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to let go of their guns. The purpose was to attract the enemy to shoot. The flames of the enemy's muzzles provided targets for the sharpshooters of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The enemy also counterattacked based on the muzzle fire, but the special forces members hid behind the bunkers and fired their guns into the sky, and the enemy's bullets could not hurt them at all.

The snipers and a large number of sharpshooters of the Taohuashan guerrillas were able to accurately destroy the enemy based on the flashes of the Japanese guns.

Li Yao was deeply impressed by this tactic, and he asked his officers and soldiers to follow orders to free up more special forces to attack the enemy.

Soon after, most of the Japanese army was wiped out, leaving a small number of enemies who dared not even fire their guns.

In this case, Gao Jiu still didn't give the order to attack. Next, it was time for the artillery of the Taohuashan guerrillas to play their role.

The Japanese army was surrounded in a narrow range, and the dense artillery firepower of the Taohuashan guerrillas left them with no place to hide.

After the artillery strike, the ambush circle was very quiet, and the Japanese counterattack could no longer be seen.

Only then did Gao Jiu say to Li Yao: "Commissioner Li, order your troops to attack."

The soldiers of the Independence Regiment rushed up with shouts, and most of the Taohuashan guerrillas stayed where they were. Only Tian Chuan's sniper team followed the Eighth Route Army soldiers and was responsible for destroying the remaining Japanese troops.

The fighters of the independent regiment only encountered sporadic counterattacks, and quickly rushed forward. They wiped out the remnants of the enemy and completely ended the battle.

After this battle, more than 6 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. The soldiers of the independent regiment brought by Li Yao only suffered [-] casualties, which was unimaginable in previous battles.

The soldiers of the independent regiment happily searched for the weapons of the Japanese puppet army, because it had been agreed in advance that all the weapons and ammunition seized would belong to them. Li Yao and the soldiers of the independent regiment laughed from ear to ear.

After the battle, the troops participating in the ambush were divided into two groups. On one side, Zhang Quan led a squadron of the Special Operations Brigade and a battalion of the Li Yao Independent Regiment to attack the county seat.The other route, led by Gao Jiu, went to attack the Wangjiaao copper mine.

Wangjiaao Copper Mine.

Chen Zhiyong led the soldiers of the independent regiment and continued to besiege the enemies of the Wangjiaao Copper Mine. At this time, it was already daylight, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

The terrain of the Wangjiaao Copper Mine is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If both sides can see the other side's target clearly after dawn, and the Japanese army can take advantage of their firepower, the battle will be even more difficult to fight.

He believes that sneak attacks should be carried out at night to avoid heavy casualties during daytime storms.It's a pity that Gao Jiu and others haven't come yet, and the independent group can't launch an attack alone.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, the sky was getting brighter and brighter. When he was in a hurry, he saw Gao Jiu and others leading a large number of people rushing over. He immediately became excited and asked: "Jiu Lord, have you killed those devils in Gaoping City?"

Gao Jiu said lightly, "Yes, it was destroyed."

Chen Zhiyong was very excited, he said happily: "It's really great."

Then he asked about the ambush in detail, and Du Shengxi told him about the ambush.

When Chen Zhiyong heard that more than 500 Japanese puppet troops were killed, he knew that the independent regiment had made a fortune this time, because Gao Jiu had already said that all the seizures belonged to their independent regiment. With these batches of weapons and ammunition, the independent regiment could Just change the shotgun to the cannon.

When he heard that Zhang Quan, Li Yao and others took the soldiers from the special forces and the battalion of the independent regiment to attack the county seat, he now had no doubt that they could take down the county seat, so he began to think again, from the county seat How many weapons, ammunition and supplies have been seized.He feels like an upstart now, and a sense of happiness fills every cell in his body.

He said excitedly: "Master Jiu, let's attack the copper mine now."

Gao Jiu shook his head and said: "Pause the attack on the copper mine, bury the pot to make food, let the troops rest, and wait until dawn.

Chen Zhiyong didn't understand. He said, "Master Jiu, why don't you attack while it's dark, so as to save a lot of casualties?"

Gao Jiu said: "Waiting to attack after dawn is precisely to reduce the casualties of the troops."

Chen Zhiyong still couldn't understand, but since he heard Gao Jiu say that, he wanted to see how the Taohuashan guerrillas fought.

During the rest of the troops, several special forces members shouted at the enemy in the copper mine with their iron horns: "We are from the Taohuashan guerrillas. I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, take the copper mine, Dogs and chickens will not be left behind."

Chen Zhiyong asked, "Master Jiu, what is this for?"

Du Shengxi said: "This is to tell the enemies in the copper mine that it is the Taohuashan guerrillas who came to attack them, so that when they ask the devils for help, they will know who is coming to attack them, so as to scare those Devils who want to come for reinforcements."

Chen Zhiyong understood that what Gao Jiu and the others meant was to avoid the arrival of Japanese reinforcements. They had seized so much supplies, and it would take a lot of time to transport them back to the base area. If the Japanese reinforcements came, it would be very troublesome. Things, but he still has no confidence in his heart, wondering if he can scare the devil's reinforcements?
The soldiers of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the independent regiment rested for more than two hours. When the sky was bright, both the enemy and us could see clearly.

Gao Jiu observed the mountain for a while, and said, "Let's start."

Du Shengxi's fire team brought four 200-type infantry artillery this time. They pushed the artillery to a distance of [-] meters from the Japanese firepower point, and fired directly at the Japanese bunkers on the mountain.

Chen Zhiyong saw through the binoculars that the Japanese army's bunkers fell apart one by one under the impact of artillery fire.Immediately afterwards, other firepower points of the Japanese army were also hit by artillery fire, and they were destroyed one by one.

It was only then that Chen Zhiyong understood why Gao Jiu wanted to attack during the daytime. It was because he had powerful artillery, which was more powerful during the daytime.

Next, the Taohuashan guerrillas fired fully, covering the artillery to move forward and continue to destroy the remaining firepower points of the enemy.

After a short time, the enemy's resistance was basically destroyed, and some sporadic counterattacks were also wiped out one by one by the snipers of the special forces.

Seeing that the enemy on the opposite side was silent, Gao Jiu said to Chen Zhiyong, who was already gearing up to charge, "Commander Chen, you can attack now."

Chen Zhiyong jumped up, held the pistol, and shouted loudly: "Comrades! Go!"

Thousands of soldiers from the Independence Regiment rushed up with loud shouts.

Tian Chuan followed up with the sniper team and assisted the soldiers of the independent regiment to eliminate the remaining enemies. The battle ended soon.

In this battle, the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment only suffered less than 20 casualties.

The soldiers of the independent regiment happily collected their weapons and ammunition. Gao Jiu, led by a rescued miner, came to the warehouse of the copper mine.

A special forces member saw that the door of the warehouse was locked. He raised his rifle and shot two shots at the lock. After removing the broken lock, several special forces members stepped forward and opened the door.

There are many large wooden boxes in the warehouse near the base of the north wall, and there are many trolleys leaning against the wall next to the gate. On top of the box, a box was lifted down, placed on the trolley, and pushed to a brightly lit place in front of the gate.

A team member picked up a crowbar and pried open the lid of the box, which was full of purple-red copper ingots.

Gao Jiu stepped forward and took out one with his own hands, looked at it carefully, and said, "Not bad, it's a good thing."

The miner said: "These copper ingots weigh six kilograms each, and the copper ingots in each box are 240 catties."

Since they couldn't find the managers and couldn't see the books, the special operators counted the boxes. There were 560 boxes in total, weighing 134400 kilograms.

Gao Jiu was still not satisfied, he asked, "Are there any other places?"

The miner said: "There should be some in the smelting furnace."

Gao Jiu and others came to the smelting furnace under the leadership of the miner, and saw that there were more than 30 boxes of copper ingots and some scattered copper ingots that were not boxed. Gao Jiu ordered them to take all the copper ingots away.

At this time, Du Sheng ran over happily, and he said excitedly: "Jiuye, the Russians searched the mine's office, financial room, warehouse, and Japanese barracks, and got a lot of money orders, ocean tickets, and Japanese military bills." , it is roughly estimated that there are [-] to [-] oceans.

Chen Zhiyong, who was following Gao Jiu, lamented that these bandits were really good at making money. The officers and soldiers under him knew how to confiscate weapons and ammunition, but they went straight to more valuable things.Fortunately, Master Jiu had said that half of the seized money would be given to them. His face was flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands violently.

Gao Jiu looked at Chen Zhiyong and said with a smile: "Head Chen, we have agreed that all the weapons and ammunition seized will belong to you, and half of the money will be given to you. However, you have to help me transport those copper ingots back."

Chen Zhiyong was excited, and he agreed without hesitation: "Master Jiu, don't worry, we have more than 1000 people here, and we promise to deliver what you want back to you."

Everyone was happy, and the good news came again. Zhang Quan sent a telegram, saying that Gaoping County had been captured and the Japanese and puppet troops in the city had been wiped out.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Let's go, brothers, go to the county town to make a fortune."

Today's capture already made Chen Zhiyong so excited that he didn't know how to express his feelings. Hearing that he could go to the county town to make a lot of money, his lips began to tremble with excitement.

As he walked out with the crowd, he planned to expand his independent regiment to three regiments. With this credit, he could at least be the deputy commander of the military division.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and others came to Dongping County, and the guerrillas who came with them immediately joined the ranks of making a fortune.

When Gao Jiu and others attacked the copper mine, the Japanese army stationed in Rong County of the 114th Division received a telegram asking for help, and the Japanese army in the direction of Tai'an also received a telegram asking for help.

The head of the Qiushan brigade frowned when he saw the mention of the Taohuashan guerrillas in the telegram.

He felt very embarrassed about this matter. He had reached an agreement with Gao Jiu, and he would not trouble Gao Jiu himself. As expected, Gao Jiu did not break his promise and never harassed the 15th Brigade.

Now he is not willing to send troops to rescue the copper mine, but the copper mine is not small, and it is directly controlled by the headquarters of the 12th Army. If he does not go to the rescue, the superiors will not be able to explain it.

Another reason was that he didn't know whether those who attacked the copper mine were the Taohuashan guerrillas?If everyone pretends to be the Taohuashan guerrillas, then their 15th Brigade will stop doing anything in the future.

After thinking about it, he had an idea. He first summoned the senior officers of the brigade and regiment to study the enemy's situation and combat routes.This research took an hour, and then the troops were ordered to assemble, and it took another hour to assemble the troops, and then they sent a telegram to the copper mine.

After the telegram was sent, Qiushan waited for the telegram from the copper mine.After waiting for 15 minutes, the copper mine still did not reply, and the head of the Qiushan brigade understood that this time it was really the Taohuashan guerrillas who went to the copper mine.

He knew the fighting power of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the lack of reply from the copper mine meant that they had already been shot down.

The head of the Qiushan Brigade breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the troops to disband. He sent a telegram to the No. 12 Army Headquarters, saying that the troops had been assembled and were going to reinforce, but the copper mine had already been lost, so there was no need to go any further.

The one stationed in Rong County was a battalion of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army. Although the captain of the Japanese Army had never directly fought against the Taohuashan guerrillas, he knew exactly what would happen to those who fought against Gao Jiu before the 114th Division. Clear.

He received an order for reinforcements. He is not as big as an official like the head of the Qiushan Brigade. He dare not disobey the orders of his superiors, but he has a lot of eyes. He also gathered troops slowly and drove out of Rong County. the county seat.

He was worried about being ambushed by the Taohuashan guerrillas, so he separated each squadron of a brigade by 6 to 7 meters, and at the same time, sent sharp soldiers 1 km ahead.

He rode a horse by himself, walking slowly in front of the team, controlling the speed of the troops, hoping that by the time he arrived at the copper mine, the Taohuashan guerrillas would have already captured the copper mine and evacuated sooner or later, so he would treat himself as a tourist. It's easy to do business after going back.

Less than ten miles after they left the city, the vanguard in front of the team saw a road sign in the middle of the road, which read in Japanese: "No passing, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

The captain of the Japanese army heard that there were many sharpshooters in the Taohuashan guerrillas. He didn't dare to go to the road sign in person, so he asked someone to take down the road sign and bring it to him.

After a short time, I heard a "boom" in front of me, and there was a violent explosion.

It turned out that after the Japanese soldiers heard the order, they went to take the road sign, but they didn't expect that there were landmines buried below, which killed two Japanese soldiers on the spot.

The captain of the Japanese army was taken aback at the beginning, but then he became excited. He ordered the troops to be on guard on the spot, and then sent engineers to clear the mines.

Demining is a meticulous job that takes a lot of time. The Japanese army captain asked the engineers to slowly arrange the mines, just to delay time for him.

Suddenly, a few bullets flew from nowhere, and several devil's engineers were knocked down to the ground.

Seeing this, the captain of the Devil led his team back to the county seat. He sent a telegram to his superiors saying that the Taohuashan guerrillas had adopted the tactics of encircling the spot and ambushing heavy soldiers on their way to the copper mine. I had no choice but to return to Rong County.

Not long after, both the captain of the Japanese army in Rong County and the head of the Akiyama Brigade received notifications that the Japanese army in Gaoping County was wiped out. They all wiped off a cold sweat, thankful that they did not go to reinforce the copper mine.

Dadongzhuang.

Chen Zhiyong, Li Yao and the officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment laughed from ear to ear.
