The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 638
The troops of the Yuanzheng Army suddenly received a large amount of supplies, which surprised the Japanese commander, because it was completely beyond his expectation.

These days, they have been fighting against the Yuanzheng Army, and they have never seen the troops of the Yuanzheng Army receive air support.He really didn't understand where these planes came from.

The commander of the Japanese army knew that the next battle would be difficult.Not only that, the arrival of these planes gave him an ominous premonition.He hurriedly reported the situation to the higher authorities to investigate it.

The intelligence department of the Japanese army is still very capable, and they also have spies operating in the Golden Triangle area.Soon after, they reported the intelligence they had obtained to their superiors.

The Japanese army found out that it was Gao Jiu's air force that dropped supplies to the Yuanzheng Army, and Gao Jiu had already brought a large number of reinforcements to rescue the besieged Yuanzheng Army's 38th Division and other units.

Gao Jiu has always been the focus of the Japanese army. Gao Jiu participated in the battle in Yichang, and he also appeared frequently in Chongqing.Therefore, the Japanese army believed that he was active in Chongqing.Unexpectedly, he had already returned to the Golden Triangle and rescued the Yuanzheng Army.

The commander of the Japanese army who was fighting the Yuanzheng army was a brigade commander of the Japanese 16th Army. Although he had never fought Gao Jiu directly, he knew Gao Jiu's reputation and thought he was not Gao Jiu's. The opponent, therefore, requested tactical guidance from his superiors, hoping to allow him to lead his troops to retreat.

The commanders of the 16th Army of the Japanese Army were also unwilling to provoke Gao Jiu. They thought that Southeast Asia was getting bigger and there was no need to fight Gao Jiu here.

So he issued an order to the head of the brigade to immediately break away from contact with the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army to avoid being hit by Gao Jiu.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army was very experienced in combat. In order to avoid being entangled by the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army during the retreat, he bombarded the Yuanzheng Army's position that evening and launched a massive feint attack. .

The officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army were supplemented with ammunition, and they fought back fiercely towards the Japanese army, repelling the Japanese attack.

Commander Liao of the 38th Division, in order to avoid the night attack of the Japanese army, ordered the troops to strengthen their vigilance and prepare to repel the sneak attack of the Japanese army, and persisted until the arrival of reinforcements.

They waited for a long time, but did not see the Japanese attack again.Master Liao felt a little strange, so he sent someone to scout the enemy's situation.

The scouts of the Yuanzheng Army quietly came to the vicinity of the Japanese army's position and found that there was a bonfire lit in the Japanese army's camp, and there seemed to be some figures shaking.

A reconnaissance squad leader of the expeditionary force observed carefully for a long time with a telescope, and found that the figures were just shaking in place, and they could not be seen moving.He felt strange, so he decided to venture in and reconnaissance.

With two scouts, he touched the front of the Japanese army's position, crawled forward cautiously, and touched the barbed wire fence erected by the Japanese army.

He raised the binoculars to observe again, and the scene in front of him surprised him.

It turned out that the swaying figures in the Japanese camp were all scarecrows wearing Japanese military uniforms and holding a wooden stick instead of a rifle in their hands.

"The Japanese escaped."

After the reconnaissance squad leader came to such a conclusion, he boldly led two scouts into the Japanese camp. Sure enough, there was no one there.

The reconnaissance squad leader carried the infantry short-distance radio communicator dropped by Gao Jiu, so he was going to report to his superiors what happened here.

They called for a while and contacted their superiors, probably because they were far away and couldn't hear clearly.So he returned the same way, preparing to contact his superiors after the distance was closer.

"Boom", just as they crossed the barbed wire, a scout unfortunately stepped on a landmine. The scout and the scout squad leader were killed on the spot, and the remaining scout was also seriously injured in his leg.

The wounded scout, in order to report the situation to his superiors in time, endured the pain, simply bandaged the wound, and crawled back to the battlefield of the expeditionary army.Along the way, his legs kept oozing blood, leaving a lot of bloodstains.The intense pain nearly made him faint.

He stopped and started, moved with difficulty, and kept in touch with his superiors as he crawled.Finally, after he climbed more than 600 meters, he clearly reported the situation to his superiors.

Then, he said with difficulty: "Sir! My leg is broken, please send someone to save me!" After speaking, the scout fell into a coma.

The reconnaissance company commander hastily dispatched several soldiers and a medical soldier to come to the rescue according to the directions provided by the scouts.When they finally found the scout, they found that he was not breathing.The officers and soldiers were so sad that they couldn't help but shed tears.

Commander Liao of the 38th Division felt a burst of relief after receiving the report of the Japanese withdrawal.These days, they have been under too much pressure and have been hovering on the verge of destruction.

Now that the Japanese army has finally withdrawn, he feels relieved.

However, the Japanese army withdrew just like that. It was obvious that he was fooled by the Japanese army.This feeling made him very annoyed, and he felt that it was a bit difficult to explain to Gao Jiu.

Therefore, he organized a reinforced battalion to pursue the Japanese army.

When the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army heard that the Japanese had escaped, their morale was greatly boosted.These days, they have had enough of the anger of the Japanese army, and they are all holding back their anger.Now that they have enough food and ammunition, and they have reinforcements behind them, they want to launch an attack on the Japanese army to vent their anger.

After receiving the order from the superior to pursue, not only the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army from this reinforced battalion, but also many officers and soldiers from the Yuanzheng Army spontaneously followed behind the reinforced battalion and chased the Japanese army together.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army chased for more than an hour, but still did not find the Japanese army, but picked up the clothes, shoes and hats discarded by the Japanese army on the ground.Obviously, the Japanese army has been fleeing for a long time.

A head of the regiment who led the team to pursue the Japanese army thought it was pointless to continue the pursuit, so he planned to send a telegram to the division commander, asking for instructions on whether to return.

At this moment, fierce gunshots and explosions came from the front. The commander of the Yuanzheng Army had rich combat experience, and from the gunshots, he heard the sound of Japanese 92 cover and Type [-] heavy machine guns firing.He knew that this must be the Japanese army exchanging fire with the anti-Japanese army who did not know where.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army were excited, and immediately started a rapid march in the direction of the gunshot.

After 40 minutes, they finally caught up with the Japanese army and immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army did not love to fight, and retreated while fighting, leaving corpses all over the ground, and disappeared into the night soon after.

At this time, a scout brought several Thai officers to meet with the head of the Yuanzheng Army.

A Thai military officer could speak Chinese, and they said that they came to rescue the Yuanzheng Army under the order of Gao Jiu, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army.They encountered the retreating Japanese army on the road, so they launched an attack on the Japanese army.

The head of the Yuanzheng Army was very happy and hoped that he could join forces with the Thai army and continue to pursue the Japanese army.

The commander of the Thai army said that the situation ahead was unclear, and suggested to stop the pursuit, and said that Gao Jiu's order to them was to rescue the troops of the Yuanzheng Army.Before getting Gao Jiu's new instructions, he can't act without authorization.

The head of the Yuanzheng Army was secretly amazed when he saw that Gao Jiu was able to command the Thai army.He fought a battle with the Japanese army and got a lot of gains. He decided to accept it as soon as it was good, so he took the commander of the Thai army and returned to Duanlong Town to meet Liao Tong, the commander of the 38th Division.

Commander Liao didn't know Gao Jiu's huge influence in this area until he talked with the commander of the Thai army.He now understood that the reason why those tough Japanese soldiers fled overnight was because they were afraid of Gao Jiu.This is understandable, because all the Japanese troops who fought against Gao Jiu suffered failures without exception.

Mr. Liao said with emotion: "Gao Jiuye is Gao Jiuye, it really is extraordinary."

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Gao Jiu, Liu Zhanying and others came to Duanlong Town, and they were slightly surprised by the scene before them.

Gao Jiu and the others saw that outside Duanlong Town, the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army lined up neatly, lining the road to welcome them. There were thousands of them.

In front of the team was a group of officers from the Yuanzheng Army, headed by Liao Tong, the commander of the 38th Division.

The reason why the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army put up such a battle was because they were grateful to Gao Jiu for rescuing them, and they all hoped to see the famous Gao Jiuye.

Commander Liao and the senior officers also had the same idea, so they put up such a formation and came to welcome them.

Gao Jiu's jeep drove over, and when he saw the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army greeting him, he politely got out of the car ahead of time, and walked towards Commander Liao and the others.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Commander Liao and the officers accompanied Gao Jiu and the others to the headquarters in the town.

When passing through the formation of the Yuanzheng Army, the officers and soldiers rushed to witness Gao Jiu's demeanor. Gao Jiu's majestic image completely conformed to their imagination.Many officers and soldiers couldn't help cheering, and their cheers aroused the cheers of all officers and soldiers.

"Master Jiu is mighty!"

"Master Jiu is mighty!"

With a happy face, Gao Jiu waved to the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army, and said loudly, "Hello, brothers!"

Gao Jiu's words aroused even greater enthusiasm among the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Zheng Army, and they shouted in unison: "Hello, Master Jiu, you are mighty, Master Jiu!"

The members of the Taohuashan guerrillas who followed Gao Jiu were very happy and very proud to see that the head of the family was so welcomed by the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army.

Liu Zhanying had a thorough appreciation of Gao Jiu's demeanor, and was very moved in his heart.Through this period of contact, he saw Gao Jiu's huge influence, and a thought that surprised him flashed through his mind.

"Gao Jiu has the demeanor of a king, and his influence even exceeds that of someone."

This thought made Liu Zhanying dare not continue thinking about it.

Liu Zhanying's worry is not superfluous, Gao Jiu's strength is indeed shocking.The big man is also on guard against Gao Jiu. Fortunately, Gao Jiu is very conscious. His sphere of influence is not in the country, but in the remote southeast Asia, which makes the big man feel at ease.

However, he still strengthened his defense against Gao Jiu.

Chongqing, Military Commission.

After receiving Liu Zhanying's report, the Military Commission was very happy to learn that the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army and other units left on the Thai-Myanmar border had been rescued.

After deliberation, they sent a telegram to Liu Zhanying, asking Gao Jiu to rescue the main force of the Yuanzheng Army who was crossing the Ranger Mountain.

The troops of the Yuanzheng Army were forced to return to the country after losing the battle with the Japanese army, and suffered heavy losses when crossing the Savage Mountain.

These losses were not caused by the Japanese army, but by the harsh natural environment of Savage Mountain.Most of the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force died in the Savage Mountain due to hunger and disease.

This is a tragic history, which is very embarrassing.

Gao Jiu is familiar with this period of history and sympathizes with what happened to the Yuanzheng Army. Even if there is no request from the Military Commission, he will lend a helping hand to the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army.

With Gao Jiu's ability, it is not difficult to find the Yuanzheng army who crossed the Savage Mountain.However, it is not an easy task to bring them out.

There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Yuanzheng Army. They need a large amount of food, medicine and other items.

Gao Jiu can afford these things, but Gao Jiu has to bear all of them, which still puts Gao Jiu under great pressure.

Gao Jiu expressed his willingness to provide assistance to the main force of the Yuanzheng army crossing Savage Mountain, but the military committee must bear the supplies needed.

He asked Liu Zhanying to send a telegram to the Military Commission, saying that as soon as the supplies arrived, he would start to rescue the Yuanzheng Army.

The Yuanzheng Army is an elite unit of the national army, and the big shots certainly hope that they can be rescued.However, it was a bit painful for him to take out so many supplies.At present, the Japanese army launched the Battle of Hengbao, and the Military Commission allocated a large amount of supplies to fight the Japanese army. The Military Commission felt a little nervous for a while.

Of course, it's not that the Military Commission can't afford these supplies, but they feel that Gao Jiu has a lot of money, so they want Gao Jiu to bear the cost.

The Military Commission sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that the rescue supplies would arrive soon.

Sure enough, the next day, the Military Commission sent 12 transport planes and delivered a batch of supplies, saying that other supplies would arrive later, and asked Gao Jiu to pay for the supplies first, and then make up for him.

The big shot knew Gao Jiu too well, and he knew that Gao Jiu would definitely not refuse to save him.Moreover, he did everything from beginning to end. Even if the Military Commission stopped providing him with supplies, Gao Jiu would carry out the rescue work to the end.

However, the Military Commission did not go too far. They reserved the 12 transport planes for Gao Jiu to use.

Gao Jiu also knew the big shots very well, knowing other supplies, the big shots would definitely renege on their debts.

Gao Jiu was a little helpless, because he couldn't watch the officers and soldiers of the Yuan Zheng Army die in Savage Mountain.

Wang Zhankui has always had opinions on the government, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "Master Jiu, it is the Military Commission's business to rescue the Yuanzheng Army. We can help out, and we have to pay for it. What they did is a little too unethical." Yes. Let me tell you, if they don’t provide all the supplies, we don’t care about their affairs.”

Gao Jiu smiled wryly and shook his head and said: "The brothers of the Expeditionary Army are also the anti-Japanese armed forces. We can't let them lose in vain in the Savage Mountain. Let's give them a hand."

Wang Zhankui sighed, and said, "Master Jiu, you have such a kind heart. You will suffer a lot when you deal with them. You can't just go on like this forever."

Gao Jiu said: "A man can do something, but he can't do something! Rescue the expeditionary army is a matter of duty. We suffer a little loss in supplies, and I will get it back from other sources."

Guo Hengming said: "Master Jiu, the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army still has more than 7000 people. We are responsible for eating, drinking, and messing around. How should these people be arranged?"
