The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 507
The puppet army ordered to launch the attack was a unit of the Seventh Division of the Peace Army.These days, they have often been attacked by the special forces led by Wang Zhankui. The number of enemies is small, but their fighting power is super strong.They rode fast horses, came and went like the wind, shot like gods, and had powerful firepower. The officers and soldiers of the Peace Army basically only had to be beaten.

They already knew that these people were members of the world-famous Taohuashan guerrillas.

Not long ago, Tian Chuan and others had only 20 people, and they just ate up a company of the Peace Army, which made the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army even more afraid of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Just now, the Japanese army launched an attack on the county seat of Cang County. They also saw in their eyes. Those fierce Japanese carried so many artillery and so many troops. go up.The officers and soldiers of the Peace Army have developed a deep fear of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

At this moment, they were forced to attack the county seat, and they felt extremely resentful towards the Japanese in their hearts, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge upwards.

The attack began, and the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army rushed towards the city wall.From a distance of more than 200 meters, the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army began to be killed and injured continuously. Their already very low morale quickly disappeared. When they rushed to 150 meters, the grassroots officers of the Peace Army who rushed ahead, Basically all were wiped out.The fighting literacy of the Peace Army is not as good as that of the Japanese. In this case, everyone turned around and ran back.

The devils were so ruthless that they deployed many supervisory teams behind the Peace Army. Seeing the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army retreat, the devils set up their machine guns and fired wildly at them.

The officers and soldiers of the Peace Army had no choice but to turn around and rush towards the city wall again.

Gao Jiu and others continued to attack the enemy army, and saw the puppet army charging closer and closer. When they were 120 meters away from the city wall, they gave the anti-Japanese army who had already hidden under the city an order to go up the city and fight back.

The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army were bombarded by the enemy for a long time, and they hid under the city wall for such a long time, and they were already full of anger.After they boarded the city wall, they entered the position according to the predetermined defensive position, and shot fiercely at the puppet troops rushing over.

The number of the puppet army is large, and despite the constant attacks from the Taohuashan guerrillas, they can barely support it.Now there are suddenly countless muzzles on the city wall, and the fierce firepower knocks them down in pieces.

The puppet soldiers were in a mess, they couldn't go up when they were going forward, and they didn't dare to go back, so they all lay down on the ground, which exposed the devils behind them.Gao Jiu gave the order to let go of the puppet soldiers in front, and poured all the firepower on the devils behind.

The casualties of the devils were also very heavy, and they also lay on the ground one after another, shooting at the anti-Japanese army on the city wall.

At this time, the mortars of the Taohuashan guerrillas also began to fire, and the artillery fire continued to fall on the enemy group. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was finally forced to retreat.

When the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army saw the devils retreating, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed the devils.

Gao Jiu saw that the Japanese army retreated, and immediately ordered a small number of people to be left on the city wall to monitor the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the rest of the people looked for cover to guard against the bombardment of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The joint attack of the Japanese and puppet troops in the east of the city was repulsed in this way. Not long after, news came from the other three sides of the county that their attack was also repelled, and the troops suffered heavy casualties.

The division head of the 132nd Division was in a bad mood, and annoyed, he ordered the artillery to bombard again.The officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army, because they evaded in time, still did not suffer major casualties.

The division commander of the Japanese army is an experienced general who is also very good at using his brains when fighting.During the offensive just now, he saw that the anti-Japanese army on the city wall let go of those puppet troops and mainly used their firepower to attack the Japanese army. He had a plan to let the Japanese soldiers put on the clothes of the puppet army and pretend to be the Peace Army Ready to attack again.

In the violent bombardment just now, the original gap in the city wall was made wider.Immediately afterwards, the Peace Army was still in the front, and the Japanese soldiers were behind, and launched an attack again.

Gao Jiu didn't know that the Japanese and puppet troops were playing tricks, so he carried out the combat deployment according to the tactics just now.

According to the situation of the last battle, he knew that the morale of the puppet troops was low, so this time, he did not focus on the puppet troops. He believed that as long as the devils were beaten back, the puppet troops would naturally retreat.

After the puppet soldiers rushed over, Gao Jiu and the others were unwilling to waste bullets on them, so they shot at the Japanese soldiers who were following them.

After the puppet soldiers were hit, they immediately lay down on the ground. While the anti-Japanese army on the city wall was fully engaged with the Japanese army behind them, they began to crawl forward on the ground and continued to approach the west city wall.

After Gao Jiu and the others fought for a while, they found that the situation was a bit strange. The devils they fought were all panicked, and there was a clear gap between the devils who were usually seen with tenacious fighting power.When Gao Jiu was wondering, he found that the puppet soldiers were only tens of meters away from the city wall.

Gao Jiu suddenly realized that he had been fooled. Those who wore the uniforms of the devils should be puppet soldiers, and those who wore the uniforms of the puppet soldiers were the real devils.

The devils jumped up suddenly and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.

Since the walls on all sides were attacked by the Japanese army, the anti-Japanese army had to divide their troops to guard it.Among the Taohuashan guerrillas guarding the east wall were only [-] people led by Gao Jiu. The other anti-Japanese troops were only the guerrillas of Jiang Xinshan and his son and two companies of underground party anti-Japanese troops.

The enemy has a large number of troops, and the number of Japanese officers and soldiers disguised as puppet troops exceeds 500, and a large number of Japanese and puppet troops behind them also continue to rush up.

Those Japanese soldiers were already close to the gap in the city wall at this time, they ignored the blows on them from the city wall, howled and rushed towards the gap crazily.

At this time, the attention of both the enemy and us is on the gap.Everyone knows that as long as this Japanese army rushes into the gap, the county seat of Cang County will not be able to hold it.

Gao Jiu became impatient, and led the special forces on the city wall and the guerrillas of Jiang Xinshan and his son to run towards the gap.

Just when the Japanese army was about to enter the gap, Gao Jiu and others rushed to the gap. They didn't care about saving ammunition, and fired at the Japanese army frantically with a large number of machine guns.

The firepower of the anti-Japanese army was so fierce that the Japanese army fell down in pieces.

Seeing that they were about to attack the city, the devils were also crazy. Although they suffered heavy losses, the living devils still rushed forward.

The Taohuashan guerrillas were equipped with a large number of machine guns, dozens of them in the hands of Jiang Xinshan and his son's guerrillas alone, but they were reluctant to fire at ordinary times because they consumed too much bullets.

Now that life and death were at stake, Gao Jiu and the others couldn't care less. A large number of machine guns fired at the same time, and countless bullets swept past almost impermeably.

Although the Japanese army was tenacious, they were flesh and blood after all. Under such fierce firepower, the 500 Japanese officers and soldiers who rushed forward were basically killed and injured. The remaining Japanese army finally could not withstand such a fierce blow and was forced to retreat. go down.

Gao Jiu and others immediately used firepower to attack the Japanese and puppet troops who rushed up from behind.

The fierce firepower of the anti-Japanese army was beyond the imagination of the Japanese puppet army. When they saw that the devils in front were killed and injured, the people behind had already started to panic.When the anti-Japanese army aimed their firepower at them and caused a large number of casualties, they retreated again.

Finally repelling the enemy's attack, Gao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also in a bad mood.

In this battle, although the enemy's attack was repelled, the anti-Japanese armed forces also suffered relatively large losses.Six Taohuashan guerrillas died and four were injured.Jiang Xinshan's guerrillas killed and injured more than a dozen people, and the underground party killed and injured more than [-] people.

This is not the most important thing. Due to the unexpected situation that disrupted Gao Jiu's deployment, the ammunition was consumed a bit too much this time. If the Japanese and puppet troops launch such an attack next time, they will not be able to maintain such a powerful force at all. firepower.

Facing such a situation, Gao Jiu readjusted his deployment, and only deployed some machine gunners near the gap. In other places on the city wall, all people were not allowed to use machine guns, and used rifles to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible.

The Japanese army has launched three attacks in a row, and they are also very tired. They decided to suspend the attack tonight and wait for the troops to rest before launching the attack tomorrow.

Facing a powerful enemy, the Japanese army is also constantly summing up experience and lessons.

The Chief of Staff of the 132nd Division of the Japanese Army put forward several suggestions regarding the situation of the three offensive operations:

First of all, it is necessary to send artillery to continue bombarding the city wall, trying to blow up more gaps.The existing gaps were continuously widened to increase the difficulty for the Anti-Japanese Army to defend the county.

Secondly, he believes that the anti-Japanese army cannot have a lot of ammunition, and they cannot be replenished, and the violent counterattack like just now will not last long.He suggested that the puppet army should continue to attack and use human lives to consume the enemy's ammunition.

The head of the division thought that the chief of staff was right, so he adopted his suggestion and made some additions based on this suggestion.

Regarding how to consume the ammunition of the anti-Japanese army, he ordered the puppet troops to continuously attack from all sides, even at night.This can not only consume the enemy's ammunition, but also make the enemy defending the city very tired.

He believed that within a few days, Gao Jiu and the others guarding the city would run out of ammunition and food. When the Huang army launched a massive attack, they would definitely be able to break through the county and wipe out Gao Jiu and the others.

In the next two days, the Japanese and puppet troops continued to launch attacks, and the anti-Japanese troops were very tired from fighting. The casualties continued to increase, and the consumption of ammunition had reached a dangerous level.

Gao Jiu had to start thinking about leading the troops to break through.

The battle that took place in Cangxian County affected the hearts of the people of the country, and the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the rear all sweated for Gao Jiu. The government has no prior layout in the enemy's rear and lacks armed forces. Basically, they can't help much, and can only be supported by military command in terms of intelligence.

As for the underground party, because Gao Jiu and others attracted the main force of the enemy in Northeast Hebei, the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who participated in the riot were only intercepted by a small group of enemy troops. Dangerous.Therefore, they told Gao Jiu that they could evacuate on their own as long as they stood firm for two more days.At the same time, the underground party asked the troops of the Jizhong Military Region to speed up their march, rush to Cang County as soon as possible, and cooperate with Gao Jiu and others to help Gao Jiu and others break out of the encirclement.

For Gao Jiu, although the ammunition encountered difficulties, he still had a certain amount of confidence in holding on to it for another two days.However, holding on for another two days is already the limit of the time he can hold on to the county seat.

Gao Jiu came to the house in the southeast of the city again to inspect the excavation of the tunnel.

So far, the excavation of the tunnel has progressed very smoothly. According to the current excavation speed, it will take at most two days to dig to the location they selected in advance.

Gao Jiu praised Huang Wei and others again.

Binhai County.

That night, Jiang Xiaomei sat in front of the door, staring at the northeast direction in a silent daze.At this time, there were my father, elder brother, and my beloved lover, who were fighting desperately with the Japanese and puppet troops under the heavy siege of the enemy army.She wanted to help, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only pray for them silently here.

As a political worker, Yang Jiong should not only do the ideological work of the soldiers, but more importantly, do a good job of the ideological work of the commanders.He gets along with Jiang Xiaomei day and night, they are comrades in arms who share life and death, and he understands her mood very well.He saw that the light in Jiang Xiaomei's room was on, so he got dressed and walked over. He saw Jiang Xiaomei sitting in front of the door, sitting beside her, and silently accompanied her.

Under the bright moonlight, Yang Jiong saw the worried look on Jiang Xiaomei's beautiful face.He smiled and said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "Brigade Commander Jiang, actually, you don't have to worry at all. Master Jiu is a man of God, and the Japanese devils can't do anything to him at all. Your father and brother are with Master Jiu. Don't you worry about it?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei's mood improved a lot.She nodded and said, "I believe Brother Jiu, but I still can't help but worry about them."

Yang Jiong understands her feelings, this is human nature, who would be worried about his relatives.In order to divert Jiang Xiaomei's attention, Yang Jiong asked: "Brigade Commander, when will you marry Jiuye? I found your father and brother this time. I think the time is ripe. They happen to be with Jiuye too." Together, they should take this opportunity to ask Master Jiu to propose marriage.

If you find this matter inconvenient, let me tell your father and brother.If you agree, Commander Gao and I can also propose marriage to Master Jiu. "

Yang Jiong is Jiang Xiaomei's close comrade-in-arms, and he understands her thoughts best.He knew that Jiang Xiaomei had been looking forward to getting married with Gao Jiu, and he believed that this topic would definitely divert Jiang Xiaomei's attention.

Sure enough, Jiang Xiaomei's mind was caught by Yang Jiong.In the past, she had the idea of ​​asking someone to propose marriage to Gao Jiu, but she couldn't find her father and brother, and she had been in a difficult war environment, so she had to delay this matter.She also heard some rumors that Gao Jiu had relationships with other women.She hoped to be able to take the first step and settle the marriage with Gao Jiu.

Jiang Xiaomei likes Gao Jiu, and she knows that Gao Jiu also likes herself.But there was one thing in her heart that made her feel a little stressed.She said: "Commissioner Yang, I like Brother Nine and hope to become a couple with him. However, I am an underground party member, but Brother Nine is unwilling to join the underground party. Will this cause trouble in the organization?"

In fact, Yang Jiong was also vaguely worried. Although Gao Jiu was a famous anti-Japanese hero, his behavior was a bit weird. Some things were probably unacceptable to the underground party. For example, while he was fighting against Japan, On the one hand, it also left room for the Japanese and puppet troops, and even conducted private transactions with the Japanese and puppet troops.Such behavior, the discipline of the underground party is intolerable.

Now it is a cooperative anti-Japanese war, and the main goal is to fight against Japan, so no one will say anything.However, if Jiang Xiaomei, an underground party member with a large army in his hands, married a bandit armed leader with unknown political orientation, the underground party organization in Shandong should not have much problem because of their understanding of Jiang Xiaomei and Gao Jiu.However, those higher-level underground party organizations who don't know the real situation may not be able to agree to their marriage.

However, Yang Jiong did not express his worries. He smiled and said, "You worry too much. Lord Jiu is a world-renowned anti-Japanese hero. The underground party has always had a good cooperative relationship with him. Like this time , Master Jiu took the Taohuashan guerrillas and risked his life to cover the evacuation of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces in Northeast Hebei. Such a noble deed will definitely be recognized by the higher-level underground party organization. I don't think there will be any marriage between you. Obstacles or something."

After all, Jiang Xiaomei was a young girl, and she was looking forward to being with Gao Jiu again. Yang Jiong's words gave her great comfort, and her mood improved a lot.

She said with some embarrassment: "Commissioner Yang, if it's convenient for you, explain this matter to my father and ask them to propose marriage to brother Jiu." After she finished speaking, she felt shy and her face burned.

The ammunition of Gao Jiu and the others became increasingly scarce. Facing the Japanese attack, they tried their best to save ammunition. For the Japanese and puppet troops who came to harass them, only snipers dealt with them.

The other ordinary soldiers no longer participated in the battle. They just hid near the gap in the city wall to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from rushing in.

The Japanese puppet army saw the weakness of Gao Jiu and others' lack of ammunition. They organized a large number of troops and used wheel warfare to attack the county town repeatedly, constantly consuming less and less ammunition for Gao Jiu and others.

The situation in Cang County is getting more and more critical.

Tomorrow is the last day for Gao Jiu and others to defend the county seat. What they don't know is that the Japanese army has also set the time for launching a general offensive tomorrow.

Tomorrow is destined to be a brutal bloody battle.
