The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 503
"Boom", with a rush of horseshoes, a large group of cavalry came galloping.

Tian Chuan and others had already received the telegram, and together with Jiang Xinshan, Jiang Yong and others came outside the village to welcome Gao Jiu and others.

Looking at the huge cavalry team, Jiang Xinshan and others felt very shocked.The grand scene in front of them was in line with the grandeur that Gao Jiu should have in their minds.

Near the entrance of the village, the cavalry slowed down and stopped soon, while forming a neat queue.The well-equipped cavalry looked solemn, no one was whispering, only the sound of the horses panting after galloping.The orderly formation of cavalry shows their well-trained and majestic momentum.

Jiang Xinshan, father and son, and his guerrillas admired each and every one of them.

Then, several knights surrounded a tall and handsome young man and walked slowly towards Tian Chuan and the others.

"Jiuye." Tian Chuan said excitedly as he stepped forward to meet him.

Gao Jiu got off the horse, nodded and smiled at Tian Chuan, patted him affectionately on the shoulder, and then walked towards Jiang Xinshan and his son.

Jiang Xinshan is the oldest and easy to identify.Gao Jiu came in front of him, bowed his hands and said, "Hi Uncle Jiang, Gao Jiu, I met Uncle Jiang when I was going down Peach Blossom Mountain."

Jiang Xinshan looked at Gao Jiu, like an old father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, carefully sized him up, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, okay!" He grinned and laughed.

Gao Jiu saw Jiang Yong who was standing next to Jiang Xinshan, looking at him eagerly, so he understood his identity, so he also bowed to him and said, "This is Brother Jiang Yong."

Jiang Yong had been looking forward to meeting the legendary Gao Jiu for a long time. When he saw Gao Jiu today, Gao Jiu's heroic, majestic and domineering style completely matched his image.He was two years younger than Gao Jiu, and when he saw Gao Jiu salute him, he quickly returned the salute and said, "I'm Jiang Yong, and I'm Jiang Xiaomei's brother, Gao Jiu...brother."

Seeing Gao Jiu, he was very excited, but also a little nervous. He wanted to call Gao Jiu Master Gao Jiu like everyone else, but in front of his father, plus he already knew the relationship between Gao Jiu and Jiang Xiaomei. , and finally called Brother Gao Jiu.

Seeing Jiang Xinshan and his son's cautious look, Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Uncle! Brother Jiang! I am very good friends with Jiang Xiaomei, and we are both comrades-in-arms in the Anti-Japanese War. We are a family. This time, I am under the control of my sister." Commissioned by him, I came here to visit Uncle Jiang and Brother Jiang."

"Brother Gao Jiu." Jiang Yong shouted more naturally this time, and he said enviously: "Your Taohuashan guerrillas are really awesome!"

Gao Jiu smiled lightly, and introduced Wang Zhankui, Zheng Sanpao, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others to the Jiang family father and son.

Jiang Xinshan and his son invited Gao Jiu and others into the village, saying that they would hold a banquet for the Taohuashan guerrillas.

More than 600 people came at once. In the past, let alone a banquet, Jiang Xinshan's guerrillas felt very embarrassed.Now they have money, but there are not so many things in the whole village to entertain these guerrillas.Knowing their difficulties, Wang Zhankui sent some cavalry to follow Jiang Xinshan's guerrillas to the surrounding villages to buy some wine, meat, food and vegetables, and set up guards around Baili Village to guard against enemy sneak attacks.

Jiang Xintou and Jiang Yong saw that the Taohuashan guerrillas were so strong and so cautious in their actions, and only then did they know that it was no accident that they were able to win the battle.

After arriving at Jiang Xinshan's guerrilla team headquarters, Gao Jiu, as a son-in-law-to-be, came to visit his father-in-law and uncle, so he naturally wanted to present him with a gift.He gave Jiang Xinshan and others a batch of weapons and ammunition and 3 oceans.

Jiang Xinshan and his son were filled with joy when they saw Gao Jiu's generosity.

After a few brief chats, Gao Jiu went straight to the topic.

He said: "Uncle Jiang, the terrain in Cangzhou is flat, which is conducive to the actions of cavalry and mechanized troops of the Japanese and puppet troops, but not conducive to guerrilla warfare.

I am entrusted by your daughter, I hope you can leave here for a change of environment, whether you go to the base of the Eighth Route Army in Southwest Shandong, or you are willing to follow us to Peach Blossom Mountain. "

Before Gao Jiu and the others came, Jiang Xinshan and Jiang Yong had discussed this matter. After much consideration, they decided to stay in the area and persist in the war of resistance.

On the one hand, both father and son are used to being free and easy. Whether they go to Jiang Xiaomei's place or Gao Jiu's place, they still have to be restrained to some extent. It's better to stay here and fight devils.

This is not the main reason. Most of their guerrillas are locals. Everyone joins the guerrillas to defend their hometown.Taking them away from their hometown, I am afraid that most people are not willing.Jiang Xinshan and his son lived and died with these guerrillas day and night, and they could not bear to let them leave these guerrillas.

After Jiang Xinshan and his son shared their thoughts, Gao Jiu understood their thoughts and difficulties. However, it was really worrying to leave them in the local area. Whenever they thought about it, they made people nervous.

Gao Jiu didn't persuade them directly, he planned to stay in the local area for a few days, and build up relationship and trust with Jiang Xinshan, Jiang Yong and others first.

After the welcome banquet, Gao Jiu returned to his room and asked Jia Liu to send a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei.

Gao Jiu's opinion was that Jiang Xiaomei should get in touch with the underground party superiors in Hebei through the underground party superiors in Shandong, and entrust Jiang Xinshan's guerrillas to the local underground party organization, so that Jiang Xinshan and his son could leave without any worries.

As for the two of them going to the southwestern part of Shandong, that would be easy. If they are willing to join the Eighth Route Army with Jiang Xiaomei, it is fine if they are willing to go to Peach Blossom Mountain. Form a team larger than their current guerrilla team.

Jiang Xiaomei understood the character of her father and brother very well, she thought Gao Jiu's opinion was more pertinent, so she reported it to the higher party organization.

The higher-level party organization immediately got in touch with the underground party organization in Hebei.

Jiang Xinshan and his son formed a guerrilla group to fight against the Japanese resolutely. In fact, they had already entered the field of vision of the local underground party organization.

Now, with Jiang Xiaomei's relationship, the Cangzhou underground party soon sent people to Baili Village.

The person who came was Jiang Jing, the military director of the Cangzhou underground party organization. He was a bookish 26-year-old young man. According to the account of the higher-level party organization, he met Gao Jiu first.

Jiang Jing said excitedly: "Mr. Gao, your arrival is really timely. In Northeast Hebei, the underground party has made long-term preparations. A large-scale riot is about to start, and the number of participants will exceed 10." However, after the success of the riot, it will surely deal a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.

You Taohuashan guerrillas are also an anti-Japanese team. I hope you can also participate in our great action. "

Gao Jiu knew about this period of history. The underground party organized a large-scale riot. The participants were mainly local farmers. They participated in the riot because of their hatred for the Japanese invaders and their enthusiasm for resisting Japan Without any military work experience, lack of organizational training, most people only have crude weapons such as broadswords and spears, such a team is a mob to put it bluntly.Soon after the riot started, under the joint attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, it failed quickly and caused a large number of casualties.

Gao Jiu talked about the facts and made sense, hoping that they would cancel this operation.However, Jiang Jing and the others were in a state of excitement and couldn't listen at all.Seeing that Gao Jiu could not be persuaded, they went to persuade Jiang Xinshan and his son.

Jiang Xinshan and his son naturally listened to Gao Jiu, and they also declined the invitation of Jiang Jing and others.

Jiang Jing was very disappointed, and soon said goodbye and left.Before leaving, Jiang Jing said dissatisfiedly: "Seeing the Japanese invaders raging in Northeast Hebei, you did not participate in this great anti-Japanese riot. It is really disappointing. Especially Mr. Gao, your Taohuashan guerrillas, because Worried about the failure of the riot, and not fighting hard, it is really worthy of the title of anti-Japanese national hero, and it is really too backward."

After speaking, he left angrily.

Wang Zhankui, Zheng Sanpao and others were all dissatisfied with Jiang Jing. Jia Liu said angrily: "This man surnamed Jiang really doesn't know what to do. He dares to say that my ninth master is behind. I don't know what to do."

Gao Jiu was in a bad mood. He could understand the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the local underground party organization, and he couldn't just watch them suffer heavy losses.He decided to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops locally and help the local underground party organizations as much as possible.

He sent a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei, explaining in detail that in this generation, it is not suitable to launch a large-scale anti-Japanese armed riot, but the key personnel should be organized and trained to carry out a long-term anti-Japanese guerrilla war.

Gao Jiu's telegram was very long, with clear facts and sincere words, showing an anti-Japanese fighter and a responsible attitude towards the anti-Japanese cause.

After Jiang Xiaomei received the telegram, she immediately reported to the higher party organization.

The higher-level party organizations in Shandong attached great importance to this, and they reported to their superiors, and also sent a telegram to the underground party organization in Hebei, stating their opinions.

However, the underground party organizations in Northeast Hebei launched large-scale anti-Japanese armed riots in the vast area from Tangshan to Cangzhou on the grounds that they knew better about the local situation.

Gao Jiu decided to help the local underground party organization. He took the Taohuashan guerrillas and Jiang Xinshan's guerrillas and went straight to Cang County.

Jiang Xinshan, father and son, and the guerrillas had already admired Tian Chuan and the others, and they were all very excited to be able to follow Gao Jiu directly to fight, and to attack the enemy's county.

These days, they have stepped up their military training, and they have already mastered weapons and basic infantry tactics more familiarly. They really wanted to compete with the Japanese. They hired a dozen carriages from the homes of fellow villagers, and followed Gao Jiu's cavalry team towards The county seat of Cang County set off.

The enemy stationed in Cangxian County is an infantry squadron of the 132nd Division of the Japanese Garrison (some of which have been wiped out at the Liuzhuang stronghold) with more than 130 people, a battalion of the Peace Army, and a brigade of the police. More than seven hundred people.

They have already received the news that something has happened to the Liuzhuang stronghold.The strength of the Liuzhuang stronghold is quite large, and the gun towers are considered strong, so they were completely lost, which shows that the anti-Japanese armed forces attacking them are very powerful.Therefore, they reported the situation to their superiors, and at the same time strengthened the defense of the county.

The soldiers and horses are not moved, and the intelligence comes first.

Just before Gao Jiu led the troops to march towards the county seat of Cang County, Ning Wen and Ning Wu, accompanied by Jiang Yong, went to the county seat of Cang County for investigation.

They found that many people had poured into the county seat, including a large number of armed personnel.

It turned out that anti-Japanese armed riots broke out in many townships, towns, and villages in Cang County, and a large number of grassroots and puppet regime personnel fled into the county. This also brought the number of Japanese and puppet armed personnel in Cang County to more than [-], which made it more difficult for Gao Jiu and others to attack the county.

Ning Wen reported the situation to Gao Jiu by telegram.

Gao Jiu was not surprised when he heard the news. He thought that the Japanese and puppet personnel from the countryside had entered the city and just caught them all in one go, saving them from having to go all the way to the countryside to beat them up.

Jiang Xinshan, father and son, and the guerrillas under him heard that the number of Japanese and puppet troops in the county had increased to more than 500. The Taohuashan guerrillas, together with dozens of them, had a total strength of no more than 700. It's so big, I can't help but feel a little worried.But when they saw the confidence of the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas, they were not so nervous anymore.

In Changxing County, Lin County, Cang County, a large number of anti-Japanese troops are also besieging the county seat.

Jiang Jing and others led a backbone force including a county brigade, several district squads, and more than 5000 young and middle-aged people who participated in the riot, and surrounded the county. , They are numerous and powerful, and their momentum is astonishing.

"Da da da da." The Japanese and puppet army on the city wall fired violently with machine guns, and a large number of anti-Japanese people continued to fall in a pool of blood. The attack was quickly disintegrated, and the anti-Japanese people retreated in a panic.

Seeing the setback in the attack, Jiang Jing was annoyed, and ordered the captain of the county team to organize another attack.

The enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese people has not diminished, and they rushed to the city wall again with shouts.

However, the reality is cruel. Under the fierce firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops, a large number of anti-Japanese people fell into a pool of blood and had to retreat again.

Jiang Jing became more and more angry, and ordered all the troops to press down together.

This time the attack was defeated even faster, the captain of the county brigade died on the spot, and more than half of the main force of the county brigade was lost.

A worse situation happened. The Japanese and puppet troops saw that the fighting power of the anti-Japanese army was not strong, so they simply opened the city gate and rushed out.

The morale of the anti-Japanese army had already suffered a heavy blow. They could not withstand the charge of the Japanese and puppet troops, and soon collapsed, throwing away their helmets and armor, and fled in all directions.

Jiang Jing waved his pistol and shouted hoarsely, hoping to stop the rout.However, all this was in vain, and soon he himself was kidnapped and escaped.

When Jiang Jing got rid of the enemy's tracking and contained the troops, he discovered that there were more than 5000 mighty people in the original, but now there are less than 1000 people left, and the backbone personnel are basically lost.He wanted to cry but had no tears, and was at a loss for a while.

At this moment, there were gunshots in the distance, and a large number of Japanese and puppet troops could be vaguely seen pressing towards them.

The anti-Japanese army is now demoralized and unable to fight at all, so Jiang Jing had to lead the team to retreat again.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu led the team to the vicinity of Cangxian City, and hid outside the city. He wanted to wait until nightfall to launch a night attack on Cangxian City.
