The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 639 Savage Mountain

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "We saved their lives and provided them with supplies. We can't support them for nothing. After this period of time, find them some work and solve some troubles for us."

Wang Zhankui asked suspiciously: "What can we use them for?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Why not? The anti-Japanese army is relatively weak in the Thai-Myanmar border area, and only Thai troops are active in this area. Let's set aside a place in the southern part of the Golden Triangle and let them station there to guard the southern gate for us.

Besides, there are still a lot of local bandit forces in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle. Our troops are limited and are mainly used to protect the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle. Sooner or later we will develop to the southern area.It's better to hand over the task of mopping up the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle to the Yuanzheng Army. "

Guo Hengming understood it first, and said with a smile: "It's a way to be the master. The Yuanzheng army's combat effectiveness is still very strong, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to fight bandits."

Wang Zhankui also understood, and said, "That's good, it saves us the effort."

Gao Jiu has always had the idea of ​​expanding his influence from the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle to the southern area. He hopes to use the power of the Yuan Zheng Army to eradicate all evil forces in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.This can kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, the Yuanzheng army is very powerful. Letting them wipe out all kinds of bandit forces in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle can save a lot of effort from the Taohuashan guerrillas.

On the other hand, and most importantly, most of the forces in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle are local residents, and eradicating them will kill many locals.Killing these people will offend their families. Although the Taohuashan guerrillas are capable of eradicating these bandits, they will also form hatred with the locals.

The Yuanzheng army is different, they are outsiders, after killing people, they will pat their buttocks and leave in the future, and no one can do anything to them.

Gao Jiu and the others can take advantage of it, and it will save a lot of trouble when governing the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle in the future.

After Gao Jiu and the others unified their thinking, they began to study the rescue of the main force of the Yuanzheng army who was suffering in the Savage Mountain.

If you want to rescue the Yuanzheng Army in the Savage Mountain, the first problem is that the Yuanzheng Army has lost its complete organizational system, and it is very difficult to manage. There must be a strong person who can gather all the troops, otherwise , The Yuanzheng army is in a state of disunity, difficult to manage, and may even fight over the airdropped supplies and kill each other.

Liu Zhanying was a senior staff officer sent by the Military Commission. If he could appear in the Savage Mountain, his status would be enough to deter the defeated soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army.However, Liu Zhanying couldn't go to Savage Mountain.

The place where Gao Jiu and the others are currently located is far away from Savage Mountain, and the road is impassable.If it would take a long time to enter Savage Mountain from the ground, most of the troops of the Yuanzheng Army would have died of illness and starvation long ago.

The only way is to use the method of airborne and enter Savage Mountain.But Liu Zhanying doesn't know how to parachute, so he can't make an airdrop.

At this time, Master Liao of the 38th Division said: "Some people in our division have undergone parachuting training and can be dropped into Savage Mountain by air."

Liu Zhanying said: "Very good! You can choose some officers and soldiers who have undergone parachuting training to come and follow Mr. Gao's people into Savage Mountain."

Having said that, he looked at Gao Jiu.Commander Liao also looked at Gao Jiu, what they meant was that these ordinary officers and soldiers would not be of much use if they entered Savage Mountain.A strong figure is needed to unify the command there, and they hope that Gao Jiu can take on this important task.

Gao Jiu had thought of this a long time ago, and now he was the only one who went out to the Savage Mountain himself to bring out those troops from the Yuanzheng Army.

He nodded and said: "Leave this matter to me. I will take part of the Special Forces and the 38th Division and airdrop into Savage Mountain.

In order to avoid misunderstanding, you prepare a batch of Yuanzheng army uniforms for us, and put them on for the people in Taohuashan.

Staff Officer Liu, Commander Liao, Zhan Kui, and Heng Ming, you stay here to form a rescue headquarters, wait for my telegram, and arrange for the Air Force to airdrop supplies. "

Seeing that Gao Jiu was willing to take the risk to go to Savage Mountain himself, Liu Zhanying and others were very moved.

Liu Zhanying said gratefully: "Mr. Gao! On behalf of the brothers in the Military Commission and Yuanzheng Army, thank you!"

Afterwards, Liu Zhanying and Commander Liao stood at attention together and gave a military salute to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu said flatly: "Yes, it is my duty to rescue the brothers from the Yuanzheng Army."

Soon after, Gao Jiu, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others led a detachment of the Special Forces, a medical team, and a guard platoon led by the commander of the 38th Division's guard battalion, and took three transport planes to the wilderness. Mountain.

Savage Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles, and inside it is an ancient primeval forest, with many poisonous insects and beasts, harsh and humid climate, swamps full of sewage, and various viruses.For thousands of years, it has been inaccessible, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get out alive after going deep into it.

In this era, without satellite positioning and navigation, few people enter and exit Savage Mountain, and there is no complete map at all.

The pilot of the transport plane looked at the vast forest below, a little at a loss.

In his mind, Gao Jiu searched for the relevant information on Savage Mountain, as well as the main way for the Yuan Zheng army to retreat in history, and chose a mountain that seemed to be the highest in this area, and prepared to parachute and airdrop in this area.

However, there are dense jungles below this area, and there is no place for airdrops at all.

Gao Jiu sat on the co-pilot's seat and searched around.His eyesight was excellent, and he finally saw a small lake in the distance, surrounded by a grassy field, which could be airdropped.So let the transport plane fly there.

The transport plane flew over the grass one by one, confirmed the airdrop location, then turned around and flew over the grass again.

Gao Jiu and the others started to parachute. The grassland was relatively narrow. The transport plane flew over and over several times before completing the parachute and airdrop missions, and then returned the same way.

After the special forces members and the officers and soldiers of the 38th Division landed, they began to collect the airdropped supplies.Gao Jiu went up to a small highland by the lake, observing the surroundings intently.

Suddenly, Gao Jiu heard a slight human voice from the northwest, he called Ning Wen and Ning Wu, and explained to them.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu each led more than a dozen special forces members and entered the woods in two ways to ambush.

The transport plane flew over Savage Mountain, alarming the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng army who were marching in the jungle in this area. When the officers and soldiers of Yuanzheng went abroad, they were trained to identify the aircraft equipped by the enemy and us.Someone recognized that these transport planes were equipped by the national army, and they waved their hands desperately, but unfortunately, the dense jungle covered them, and the transport planes flying past did not find them.

There was a small unit of the Yuanzheng Army, which was relatively close to the airdrop site. Although they didn't see the airdrop, the transport plane flew over their heads, and after a while, it flew back from above their heads.Their commander judged that the transport plane should have made a U-turn not far ahead, and it is very likely that an airdrop was performed there.

Although they were not sure, but now they were lost, and they were desperate anyway, so they decided to try their luck.

The officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army dragged their exhausted bodies and stumbled forward in the jungle.Finally, they walked out of the edge of the jungle, and saw soldiers of the national army by the lake in the distance, and there were a lot of supplies.

The soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army were so excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, their bodies were suddenly full of strength, and they ran towards the pile of supplies like crazy.

Zhou Lin, the battalion commander of the 38th Division guarding the supplies, had only one guard platoon of more than 20 soldiers around him. Seeing the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army rushing towards the supplies like crazy, they immediately stepped forward to stop them.

There were six to seventy broken soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army, and they were almost starving. At this moment, they only had supplies in their eyes, and they all rushed forward desperately.

Zhou Lin wanted to protect the supplies, and his men were few, and he couldn't shoot, so he could only step forward to stop them with bare hands.He yelled at the rout soldiers, hoping to stop them from looting.

The rout soldiers didn't care about so many, they rushed up in a swarm, their eyes were red, and whoever stopped them at this time was their enemy, Zhou Lin's words didn't work at all.

Zhou Lin had no choice but to shoot at the sky to stop the rout.

The gunshots shocked the group of rout soldiers, and they stopped temporarily.After a while, the hunger made them forget their fear, and they raised their guns, aimed at the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion, and ordered them to get out of the way, otherwise they would shoot.

Most of the rout soldiers lost their minds, and they kept walking forward. As long as the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion dared to stop them, they would really shoot.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the situation was very critical.

At this moment, fierce gunshots sounded from behind the rout soldiers, and they couldn't help but look back, and saw two teams of men and horses with machine guns and submachine guns, surrounding them.

Although the broken soldiers were a little crazy, they still retained their remaining sanity. Most of them had no weapons and very few bullets.They knew that in this situation, if there was a conflict, what awaited them was massacre, so they were forced to lay down their weapons.

Officers and soldiers of the 38th Division Guard Battalion and special forces members stepped forward to disarm them and put them under custody.

Among the defeated soldiers, the leader was a deputy battalion commander of the Yuanzheng Army.Seeing that he had the highest military rank, Zhou Lin called him over.

During this period, Gao Jiu had been sitting on a wooden box, observing what happened. When he saw the deputy battalion commander of the Yuanzheng Army approaching, he also stood up and came to Zhou Lin's side.

For the convenience of work, before Gao Jiu left, Liu Zhanying gave Gao Jiu his major general rank badge.

The captain and deputy battalion commander of the Yuanzheng Army saw that there was a general here, so he hurriedly stood at attention and saluted, and said, "Hello, sir, Ma Changshui, the captain and deputy battalion commander of the 36st Regiment of the 101th Division of the Yuanzheng Army, reports to you."

Gao Jiu returned a military salute and said, "Take it easy."

The captain and deputy battalion commander relaxed and turned to Zhou Lin, waiting for his introduction.

Zhou Lin introduced: "This is the famous Taohuashan Gao Jiuye. He is now the temporary commander of the Yuanzheng Army appointed by the Jun Committee. He is here to rescue your Yuanzheng Army."

"Master Gao Jiu of Peach Blossom Mountain?"

Ma Changshui, the deputy battalion commander, was taken aback. He hurriedly stood at attention and saluted again, and said, "Hi, Master Ninth. The humble Ma Changshui obeys your command."

Gao Jiu knew that now was not the time to talk to these rout soldiers, so he said, "Deputy Battalion Commander Ma, organize the troops immediately, maintain order, and accept the distribution of supplies."

Ma Changshui was so happy that he hurriedly saluted and said loudly: "Yes." After speaking, he ran to the group of rout soldiers and shouted loudly: "Brothers! We are saved, the famous Taohuashan Gao Jiuye Come to save us. Everyone line up quickly and get ready for dinner."

The soldiers cheered, each of them was full of energy, and they stood in a queue in an instant.

In order to avoid confusion, Zhou Lin asked Ma Changshui to bring over 20 people each time to accept the distribution of supplies.

Not long after, the broken soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army got their food. Zhou Lin originally wanted to remind them to wait until the water was boiled before eating slowly.How could those rout soldiers wait? They pried open the can with bayonets and stuffed the contents into their mouths desperately.Many people exerted too much force and coughed continuously.

Seeing the reincarnation of these defeated soldiers and starving ghosts, Gao Jiu smiled wryly and shook his head.

The rout soldiers finally had enough to eat, and they collapsed on the ground to rest one by one.

Gao Jiu arranged for the medical team to check the bodies of the defeated soldiers.

Two hours later, the rout soldiers had a good rest and finally regained their strength.Gao Jiu sat among them and greeted them cordially.Listening to their stories about their experience of entering Savage Mountain, I hope that through their stories, we can find out the general distribution of the various units of the Yuanzheng Army.

The Japanese have great ambitions. In order to launch a war of aggression, they began to prepare decades ago.They have conducted surveys on the topography of China and Southeast Asian countries long ago, and the maps they have drawn are more accurate than those of their own countries. Even the mineral deposits that the local people do not know, they have conducted advance surveys.

The Japanese army knew the situation of Yeren Mountain quite well. When the troops of the Yuanzheng Army retreated, the Japanese army deliberately adopted the tactics of three-sided encirclement, pressing harder and harder, and drove the troops of the Yuanzheng Army back into the Yeren Mountain.

The Japanese army hoped to take advantage of the cruel natural environment of Savage Mountain to wipe out the Yuanzheng army.They have achieved great success in history. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army stayed in the jungle of Savage Mountain forever.

Ma Changshui is only a low-level officer, and he doesn't know much about the overall situation of the Yuanzheng Army, and he can't get much information about the Yuanzheng Army from him.

The Savage Mountain is high and densely forested, basically there is no radio signal, and Gao Jiu can't get in touch with the various departments of the Yuanzheng Army. He can only judge the expeditionary army based on the historical retreat route of the Yuanzheng Army on Savage Mountain based on the information provided. The general distribution in Savage Mountain.

After thinking about it, Gao Jiu decided to build a material supply station at the current location, and then set up a material supply station every 30 miles in the direction of the Golden Triangle from here.Then officers and soldiers were sent to search for the troops of the Yuanzheng Army with the material supply station as the center, brought them to the material supply station, and then gradually moved towards the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu thinks this way mainly because the transport plane transporting Gao Jiu and others has come here, and they have memorized the route from the Golden Triangle to here, so they can drop supplies accurately.

In the evening of this day, 12 transport planes conducted a second airdrop.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Jiu decided to lead a team of special forces, plus some officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army, to form a team of 20 people each, carrying wireless telegraphs and telephones, and search in all directions around the temporary supply station.

In order to prevent them from getting lost, Gao Jiu stipulated that their search range should not exceed 10km.Regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, you must return to the supply station before dark.
