The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 496
Gao Jiu was on Peach Blossom Mountain, busy during the day, chatting and laughing with his brothers, and was not lonely.But at night, he was still a little lonely alone.

All the heads of the Taohua Mountain wanted to arrange a woman for Gao Jiu to serve him, but Gao Jiu declined.Although he is a mountain king, he doesn't really want to live like a mountain king. Besides, he already has his beloved women in his heart, and he doesn't want to be so hasty in this regard.

After finishing a day's work, one of his favorite places to go is Feng Xiucai's place, where the father and father talked quietly.But now, Feng Xiucai just got married not long ago, and he and Wang Sanniang are in a sticky stage, so he is too embarrassed to bother her.

Another place he would like to go is Wang Zhankui's home.Wang Zhankui's third wife is also the daughter of the mayor of Linchuan Town, and she is a woman who knows how to do things.Gao Jiu went to Wang Zhankui's place, talking and laughing with the husband and wife, so that he could relieve the loneliness in his free time.

That night, Gao Jiu came to Wang Zhankui's house again.Wang Zhankui's third wife prepared food and wine for them, and then chatted with them.

The third lady said: "Master Jiu, now the sixth head and Wang Sanniang are married, and the fifth head's daughter-in-law, Xuemei, is pregnant. The second head and the fourth head also have good friends. It's kind of lonely."

Wang Zhankui said with a smile: "You mother-in-law are really worrying. There are plenty of women around Master Jiu, all of whom are beautiful, capable, and have a good family background. They are much better than you, a silly mother-in-law."

The third lady didn't care about Wang Zhankui's sarcasm, she smiled and said: "Of course I know this, Lord Jiu is a great hero, and all the women around him are seven fairies.

What I want to say is that Master Jiu is really lonely on Peach Blossom Mountain. Since there are such good women, he might as well marry them back, even if you marry one of them first, and talk to Master Jiu at night. Wouldn't it be nice to have a quilt? "

Wang Zhankui agreed with her opinion, he said: "Yes, Master Jiu, if you can't do it, you can marry one first. I think Brigadier Jiang is good, it's not that I favor boys over girls, Brigadier Jiang leads troops to fight all day long, that's really not true What a woman should do. Just marry her back and serve you by your side, and I guess she will also be willing."

Mentioning Jiang Xiaomei, Gao Jiu had a smile in his eyes, and he said: "That girl is used to being wild, if I really want to marry her back, she may be happy now, but after a long time, let her stay at home, she will definitely I can’t wait, it’s better as it is.”

Wang Zhankui and the third wife don't know much about the thinking of professional women, and they don't understand Gao Jiu's words.

The third lady said: "Jiuye, Brigadier Jiang is a woman who fights and kills like a man all day long, how dangerous it is! Since you like her, just marry her back. If she encounters danger outside , and you are not by her side, how sad it must be."

The third lady's words reminded Gao Jiu that he suddenly had a bad premonition.Since he met Jiang Xiaomei, Jiang Xiaomei has never left Southwest Lu, that is to say, she has never left his sphere of influence.This time she traveled thousands of miles away to Binhai County, Gao Jiu felt extremely uneasy.

Gao Jiu couldn't sit still, so she told Wang Zhankui and the third wife about Jiang Xiaomei's going to Binhai County.

After Wang Zhankui heard it, he immediately said: "Jiuye, I didn't mean you. Brigadier Jiang is registered with the Japanese, and the Japanese hate her deeply. You only sent one team to protect her. This is really too careless.”

After speaking, he stood up and said solemnly: "Master Jiu, I will set off with the cavalry now, and I will definitely protect Brigadier Jiang's safety."

Gao Jiu was very moved by Wang Zhankui's brotherhood.He suddenly felt, what is the reason for sticking to Peach Blossom Mountain?What do you want to do with such a large guerrilla army?If the woman I love might be in danger and I don't do my best to protect her, if something goes wrong with her, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

He also stood up and said decisively: "That's good! Brother Zhankui, I'll go to Binhai County myself, and you can go with me."

Not long after, Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui left Taohua Mountain with a sniper squad, a squadron of special forces and cavalry, a total of 340 people.

The 167th Division of the Japanese Army was stationed in the northern Shandong area. If Jiang Xiaomei and others wanted to go to Binhai County, they would definitely pass through the defense area of ​​the 167th Division.

The 167th Division's attack on Southwest Shandong suffered heavy losses. On the way to retreat, they were chased and beaten by the Taohuashan guerrillas.

He really wanted to take revenge on the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong, but he was a division without the courage and ability.He could only swallow his breath for the time being, and when the large army besieged Peach Blossom Mountain and attacked Southwest Shandong again in the future, he would take his troops to take revenge.

On this day, he received a report that the Eighth Route Army was going to hold a meeting in Binhai County, and that representatives of the Eighth Route Army were going to pass through his defense area, so he ordered troops from the 167th Division to intercept along the way.

On this day, Jiang Xiaomei and others entered the Lubei area. The first thing they had to pass was the defense area of ​​the 4th Division of the Public Security Army. Send cronies to ensure that Jiang Xiaomei and others pass safely.

After Zhao Wannian received Gao Jiu's telegram, he specifically inquired about the movements of the Japanese army, but did not hear anything about the targeting of Jiang Xiaomei and others.

Zhao Wannian did not know that because the 167rd Regiment of the 3th Division was destroyed in Southwest Shandong, the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the Public Security Army did not rush to the rescue in time, so the division commander of the 167th Division treated them He didn't believe it, and Zhao Wannian was not notified of the interception of Jiang Xiaomei and others this time.

Zhao Wannian made careful arrangements and sent his cronies to escort Jiang Xiaomei and others safely through his defense zone.The front is the defense area of ​​the 167nd Regiment of the 2th Division of the Japanese Army. It is not convenient for Zhao Wannian's troops to continue escorting, so he reminded Jiang Xiaomei and others to be careful, and sent them a guide to guide them to move on.

After leaving the defense area of ​​the 4th Division of the Public Security Army, Jiang Xiaomei and others could only walk around day and night.At 8 o'clock that night, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others continued on their way.

Tian Chuan's task was to protect Jiang Xiaomei. He sent guerrillas to serve as the vanguard of this small unit, searching ahead.

A special forces member was on the march when he suddenly noticed a black shadow shaking not far from the roadside.He became suspicious and asked the other two special forces members to continue monitoring where he was, and he went to search by himself on horseback.

He continued to move forward for about 50 meters, and found a large number of devils ambushing the roadside.At this time, the devils also found him, and they shot at him indiscriminately. The guerrilla was shot and died on the spot.

The other two guerrillas hurried back to report, and the Japanese army chased them in the direction they were retreating.

After hearing the gunshots, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others immediately made preparations for battle.Soon, two special forces members rushed over on horseback and reported that a large number of Japanese troops had been found ahead.

Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong, Tian Chuan and others discussed urgently and decided to return the same way immediately.They are cavalry units, and they move very fast, so they should be able to get rid of the enemy very quickly.

However, not long after they walked, they were attacked by enemy fire head-on.Now the enemy has been found in both the north and the south. Because the enemy's situation is unknown, everyone is not sure whether to break out east or west.

At this moment, Tagawa suggested that during this period of time, enemy troops were suddenly spotted in the south and north directions. It is very likely that the Japanese army knew their whereabouts and set up an ambush specially.In this case, there may also be enemy ambushes in the east and west directions.

For the sake of safety, you should first find a place with relatively complex terrain to hold on to, and then break through after judging the enemy's situation clearly.If you can't break out, you can ask Zhao Wannian's 4th Division to rescue.

Everyone thought it made sense, and hurriedly asked the guide, who said that there is a small village on Xisanli Road from here, with about 30 families, where they can hide temporarily.

This generation of Lubei area is a plain, and this small village is the only terrain they can use.So everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately rode their horses and ran towards the village.

After Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others arrived in the small village, they did not find any enemies for the time being.So they decided to bypass the village and continue to break out to the west.

However, when they passed the village less than 500 meters, they encountered a large number of Japanese troops head-on. The enemy's numbers were large and their firepower was also strong. It was obvious that they would suffer heavy losses if they forcibly broke through.

Now their only choice is to retreat to this small village and stand by for help.

Soon after Gao Hong and others entered the village, the Japanese army surrounded them from all sides. They were not in a hurry to launch an attack, but built fortifications on the spot and surrounded the village tightly, planning to wait until dawn before launching an attack.

The division commander of the 167th Division of the Japanese Army received a report that an anti-Japanese army was surrounded, and he immediately instructed the nearby Japanese troops to go for reinforcements.

A large number of Japanese troops swarmed away, and not long after, the Japanese troops on the outskirts of the small village had reached the size of a brigade.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to accurately set up an ambush here was actually the work of Hamada Yoshito. He deployed intelligence agents to monitor the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaomei and others along the way, and constantly provided information to the Japanese 167th Division.This time he didn't want to steal credit, and he didn't expose the background of the special high school. He reported the information to the 167th Division of the Japanese Army as a traitor.He wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and planned to get rid of Jiang Xiaomei, and asked Gao Jiu to go to the 167th Division to settle accounts.

Jiang Xiaomei and others organized troops to rush to repair the fortifications, and at the same time sent a distress telegram to Zhao Wannian.

After encountering danger, Jiang Xiaomei immediately thought of Gao Jiu.However, she knew that Gao Jiu was far away in Peach Blossom Mountain at this time, thousands of miles away, even if she notified him, she couldn't come to the rescue.She didn't want to alarm Gao Jiu and make him worry about her for nothing.

Therefore, Gao Hong and others first sent a telegram asking for help to Zhao Wannian, and then sent a telegram to the Shandong Working Committee of the underground party, asking them to notify the nearby Eighth Route Army troops to come to rescue.

After Zhao Wannian received the telegram, he didn't dare to neglect. He knew the importance of Jiang Xiaomei to Gao Jiu, so he personally mobilized a regiment of troops to go for reinforcements.

However, they soon discovered that the Japanese army had blocked their way ahead.

The Japanese army didn't trust the security forces, so they blocked here specially to prevent the security forces from rescuing Jiang Xiaomei and others.

Zhao Wannian is still unable to openly quarrel with the Japanese. Seeing the large number of Japanese troops in front of him, he has no way of annihilating them silently, so he has to go forward to negotiate with them, saying that the security forces have heard about the appearance of the Anti-Japanese Army and specially ordered here to help.

The Japanese army couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but they didn't trust the security forces and ordered the security forces to return to the barracks immediately, otherwise they would be treated as rebels.

Zhao Wannian had no choice but to let the troops return to the camp.He first sent a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei, explaining his situation here, saying that he could not help, and let Jiang Xiaomei and others ask for their own blessings.

Later, Zhao Wannian decided to send a telegram to Gao Jiu about this matter.

Gao Jiu quickly replied to the telegram, in which he asked where Jiang Xiaomei and the others were, saying that he would be there soon and asked the security forces to protect him and not to get involved in this matter.

Zhao Wannian was very surprised. He felt that Gao Jiu was a magical soldier descended from heaven, and he didn't understand why he suddenly appeared in Lubei.

Jiang Xiaomei and others were surrounded in a small village, and there were enemies everywhere outside. They kept firing at Jiang Xiaomei and others to prevent them from breaking out.

There are really too many enemies. If we forcefully break through, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach the enemy, and the Eighth Route Army will be completely wiped out.

After receiving Zhao Wannian's telegram, everyone felt that the situation was a little serious.Not long after, the underground party also sent a telegram, saying that they had launched a rescue operation. However, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of troops to guard the traffic arteries leading to various places in the base area. The Eighth Route Army had limited troops in this area and it was difficult to break through. The obstruction of the Japanese army allowed Jiang Xiaomei and others to try to break out.

There was no longer any foreign aid, and everyone was a little frustrated.Jiang Xiaomei really couldn't imagine that her young life would be ruined here.She is not afraid of death, but she is reluctant to part with Ninth Brother, she doesn't want to leave her dear Ninth Brother just like that.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Gao Hong and Yang Jiong were also thinking of Gao Jiu at this moment. Although they knew that Gao Jiuyuan was in Peach Blossom Mountain, they still wanted to send a telegram to Gao Jiu. They hoped that Gao Jiu could urge Zhao Wannian. He had a strong army and hoped that Zhao Wannian could send troops. Come rescue them.

After Gao Hong discussed with Yang Jiong, Yang Jiong came to Jiang Xiaomei and said, "Brigade Commander Jiang, it's better to send a telegram to Lord Jiu, maybe he will have a solution."

Jiang Xiaomei thinks that Gao Jiuyuan is in Peach Blossom Mountain, even if he tells him, he can't help him much.Zhao Wannian had already talked about his difficult situation, and Gao Jiu might not be able to force them to continue to save people.

She shook her head and said, "What's the use of telling him, he's far away in Peach Blossom Mountain, so don't let him worry."

Gao Hong and Yang Jiong understood her feelings and felt that what she said made sense, so they stopped pressing and directed the troops to step up the offensive, determined to stick to the small village, delay as much as possible, and win the rescue troops of the Eighth Route Army to break through. Encirclement for reinforcements.Therefore, they sent a telegram to the Shandong Working Committee again, explaining the situation here in detail, saying that they could stay here for a few days, hoping to mobilize troops from the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army to come to the rescue.

The Shandong Working Committee of the underground party is very concerned about the affairs of the Southwest Military Division of Shandong. They have weak troops in this area, so they sent a telegram to the Shandong Military Division of the Eighth Route Army, urging them to rescue Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others no matter what.

The Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army issued a death order to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army and the militia guerrillas in the northern Shandong area, ordering them to attack in the direction of Jiang Xiaomei and others.However, the strength of the Japanese army was strong, they suffered heavy losses, and the progress of the rescue work was very slow.

The Shandong Working Committee of the Eighth Route Army had no choice but to send a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei and others again, telling them the truth, telling them to stick to their positions, buy time to wait for rescue, and try to break through on their own if conditions permit.

Gao Hong, Yang Jiong, Jiang Xiaomei and others all knew that this time they were really going to die here. Everyone was filled with tragic emotions and prepared to fight the Japanese army to the death after dawn.

Suddenly, Tian Chuan ran over, and he said in surprise: "Brigade Commander Jiang, Master Jiu is here!"

Gao Hong and Yang Jiongyang lifted their spirits and looked at Tian Chuan in disbelief. They didn't understand why Gao Jiu suddenly appeared here?

"What? Brother Ninth is here?" Jiang Xiaomei asked suspiciously.She took the telegram, and saw it said: "Sister! Don't worry, Brother Ninth is here, and now he is less than 20 miles away from you. Be careful! Wait for Brother Ninth to rescue you."

"Ninth brother." Jiang Xiaomei called out excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.
