The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 672 Missing
After getting the report, Captain Yoshida felt a little strange. Those people who appeared on the other side of the river were not all Americans, but most of them were Asians.Ordinarily, it should be the haibao commando of the United States who rescued those Americans. He didn't understand where those Asians came from?
Although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to be careless. If those Americans were the ones they were looking for and ran away under his nose, he wouldn't be able to explain to his superiors.

While reporting the information to his superiors, he personally led the main force of the brigade to chase after Gao Jiu and the others.

It was getting darker and darker, and these people didn't seem to realize that the Japanese were already watching them secretly.After they walked at the foot of the mountain for a while, they began to move closer to the river, and then walked along the river bank, as if they were looking for a place to cross the river.

The Japanese army on the other side of the river quietly followed them, constantly reporting information to Yoshida, and indicating their location for the brigade.

Among Gao Jiu's special skills, the most prominent is his night vision ability.The heat energy emitted by the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river had already exposed their positions.Gao Jiu pretended not to know, and still led the special operations team and five Haibao commandos disguised as American hostages, and walked downstream along the river.

The Japanese army continued to track Gao Jiu and others. As the sky got darker, it became more and more difficult to track.Fortunately, Gao Jiu and the others had been marching along the river, and the Japanese did not lose track.

At this time, Yoshida has received a telegram from his superiors. They think the information provided by Yoshida is very important. The five American hostages were rescued in Manila. If they were rescued by the American haibao commando, so many Americans were in the city. Appeared, impossible without a trace.

Therefore, it should be these Asians who rescued these American hostages. They may be the anti-Japanese guerrillas in the Philippines.

Therefore, the superior ordered the Yoshida Brigade to intercept these Americans, especially to prevent them from approaching the coast and prevent them from being picked up by American submarines.

Now Yoshida also believes that the group of people they are following should be the target they are looking for.So he ordered his troops to divide into two groups. He led some people to continue to pursue along the river bank, while the other part went to find the road, use the road to advance quickly, and go to the front to intercept.

Even so, Yoshida thought it was not safe, and worried that if the people on the other side of the river left the river and hid in the deep mountains and dense forests on the other side, they would lose their traces across the river.

So when they tracked down an area where the river eased, he ordered the squadron leader of the second squadron to lead his men across the river, and then pursued along the river bank.

As Gao Jiu walked, he turned his head and looked back. All the actions of the Japanese were under his surveillance.In order to attract the attention of the Japanese, he led the troops and continued to advance along the river bank.

Chen Zhifeng was quite familiar with the situation in this area. Under his leadership, Gao Jiu and the others marched relatively easily.

The Japanese were not familiar with this area, and they couldn't find a guide temporarily. They stumbled along the way, some people fell down from time to time, and some even suffered serious injuries, but they suffered a lot.However, the Japanese devils are very tenacious and still pursue Gao Jiu and others.

Gao Jiu and others walked to a place where the river turned. Chen Zhifeng said: "Mr. Gao, there is a bridge 12 kilometers further downstream, and there is a road from Manila to Quezon City."

Gao Jiu knew that he couldn't go any further. The Japanese probably used the road to move quickly, set up an ambush on the road ahead, and maybe they were outflanking here.

Gao Jiu ordered the two special forces to stop quietly and lay mines on the way they came.He planned to move forward for another 1km, and then enter the forest area to get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese.

There are about 200 people who can swim in the second squadron of the Yoshida Brigade. Under the leadership of the squadron leader, they crossed the river. Regardless of the difficulty of the road, they quickly pursued along the route Gao Jiu and others had walked. Hurry up, and finally came to a distance of about [-] meters behind Gao Jiu and the others, and then followed them quietly.

Suddenly, there was an explosion by the river, someone stepped on a landmine, and the Japanese squadron leader leading the team and several soldiers were killed on the spot.The other soldiers were in confusion, and someone stepped on a landmine, resulting in the death and injury of several soldiers.

After the explosion sounded, Gao Jiu and the others immediately got down to look for cover.

At this moment, the night was dark and the visibility was extremely low. It was difficult for the Japanese army on the other side of the river to see the target on the other side.But this did not affect the attack of Gao Jiu and the special forces on the Japanese army. They shot accurately and quickly caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army.

It goes without saying that Gao Jiu was able to do this.The special operations team members are very experienced. They fired a shot to change places, and used the flames produced by the muzzle of the Japanese army to attack the enemy.

Before Gao Jiu's men shot, Gao Jiu reminded the Americans to hide and shoot into the sky to attract the Japanese army to attack and provide targets for the special forces to kill the Japanese army.

It's a pity that these Americans didn't listen to the advice, thinking that Gao Jiu and others looked down on them. After all, they were members of the dignified haibao commando, so they didn't listen to Gao Jiu's advice and kept shooting at the Japanese army .

There are also many sharpshooters in the Japanese army, who also shoot at the flash of the muzzle on the opposite bank.As a result, a member of the haibao commando was shot in the head and died on the spot, and another person was also shot in the shoulder.

After learning a painful lesson, they listened to Gao Jiu's advice and fired their guns into the sky behind the solid cover.

Captain Yoshida is very experienced. At the beginning, the two sides shot at each other, and it was impossible to judge the casualties.When the Japanese soldiers suffered a lot of casualties, he realized that the other party seemed to have few casualties.Because he roughly judged the opponent's number based on the flashing fire from the muzzle of the opposite gun.

After fighting for a period of time, the opponent's number did not decrease at all. Only then did he realize that these people on the opposite side were not ordinary guerrillas, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the Haibao commandos in the United States.

He also adopted corresponding tactics, ordering the soldiers to shoot one shot to change places, which effectively reduced casualties, and at the same time he ordered mortars and grenadiers to bomb the opponent.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army came over, and the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces fired a shot to change places. The Japanese army could not determine their exact location, so they could only shell randomly towards this area, so the special forces basically suffered no casualties.

The unlucky ones were those Americans. They hid behind the cover and did not move their positions. As a result, they were bombed by Japanese mortars, and another one was killed on the spot.

Seeing that Gao Jiu had successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army, he no longer wanted to fight, and immediately ordered his team members to take the wounded and the bodies of the American haibao commandos and move them to the mountains and forests.

After this battle, the Yoshida brigade suffered nearly a hundred casualties.He had never suffered such a big loss before, and he was very angry.He immediately organized troops to cross the river, and he must catch up with this group of enemies and wipe them out.

The actions of Gao Jiu and others successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese army. The original plan of the Japanese army to dispatch two wings for a large-scale outflank was changed.According to the direction Gao Jiu and others moved, they abandoned their original plan, readjusted their forces, and wanted to build a new encirclement.

Taylor and Colum led the haibao commando and the marines, escorted five important figures from the United States, and marched north across the mountains.Along the way, they were not blocked, and they moved very smoothly.

After 9 o'clock in the evening, they climbed to the top of a mountain and found a road ahead, and there were many Japanese people on the road.

Taylor and others were very depressed. They hurried, but still fell into the encirclement of the Japanese.It seems that the plan of Gao Jiu and others has little effect and has not attracted the Japanese away.

After all, Taylor is an experienced commander. He called a sub-captain of the Haibao commando and asked him to lead 20 members of the Haibao commando to march eastward, attack the Japanese army on the road, and destroy those who blocked the road. The Japanese army moved away to cover them escorting important people across the road.

At this moment, the Japanese army on the road suddenly formed a team, then got into the car and left.

Taylor and others were wondering, Gao Jiu sent a telegram telling them that they had exchanged fire with the Japanese army, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army.

Then instruct Taylor and others to seize the time and continue northward.

Taylor and others waited for half an hour to confirm that there were no Japanese troops on the road, so they marched quickly, crossed the road, and continued northward.

Taylor and others continued to march regardless of fatigue, and the members of his haibao commando were strong and able to persevere.

The five important figures in the U.S. are pampered and pampered at ordinary times. They simply cannot bear such a high-intensity march. After walking for a long time, they have to stop and rest.In the end, their feet were blistered with blood, and their movements became more sluggish.

Taylor had no choice but to order his special forces and commandos to march with them on their backs or with them.

They kept walking until dawn. After traveling for more than 50 kilometers, they finally jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army and entered the Sierra Madre.

At dawn, Taylor and the others hid in a valley to rest, and only then did they start to worry about the situation of Gao Jiu and the others.

Columb said worriedly: "We are out of danger for the time being. I don't know what happened to Mr. Gao and the others? I hope they can escape the encirclement of the Japanese army."

The worries of Taylor, Columb and others are not superfluous, the situation of Gao Jiu and others is really very difficult.

Although Gao Jiu and others were active in the mountainous area, this was not the main mountain range in Luzon Island. The area of ​​the mountainous area was not too large, and most of the surrounding areas were plains, so the Japanese troops were very convenient to mobilize.

Gao Jiu and others exposed their targets, and the Japanese army quickly mobilized their troops and built a blockade.Gao Jiu and others will soon be surrounded in the mountains. As the Japanese army continues to shrink the encirclement, Gao Jiu and others will be exposed sooner or later, and they are likely to be wiped out.

Under the leadership of Chen Zhifeng, Gao Jiu and others entered the deep mountains and dense forests.

It was completely dark, and the Japanese troops crossing the river were not familiar with the terrain. In addition, they were attacked by Gao Jiu and others just now. Seeing that the terrain ahead was getting more and more complicated, they were worried about an ambush, so their tracking speed slowed down.Not long after, Gao Jiu and the others disappeared.

Yoshida had no choice but to order the troops to stop advancing, and at the same time report to the superior the direction and area where Gao Jiu and the others disappeared, and prepared to cooperate with the large force to surround Gao Jiu and the others.

Gao Jiu saw that there were no Japanese soldiers following behind, so he ordered the special forces to stop and rest on the spot.

Gao Jiu asked Jia Liu to send a telegram to Taylor and the others, and soon after, he received their call back.

He called Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the three haibao commando members who were still alive, and said: "Taylor and Colum have broken through the Japanese blockade and have continued to go north. Their task of covering is over." Finish.

Now the large forces of the Japanese army are encircling us from all directions.The mountainous area where we are located is relatively small. After dawn, the Japanese army searched the mountains on a large scale. Our situation will be extremely dangerous. We must jump out of the encirclement of the Japanese army as soon as possible. "

Everyone trusted Gao Jiu and waited for him to make a decision.

Gao Jiu said to the members of the haibao commando: "The situation is critical now. We can only bury the bodies of your two members on the spot. We will send their remains back to the United States when the war is over."

The three haibao commando members agreed with Gao Jiu's opinion, and with the help of the special operations team members, they buried the bodies of the two haibao commando members. After praying, they set off under the leadership of Gao Jiu.

At this time, all the roads in Manila Bay were very busy, and a large number of Japanese troops surrounded the mountainous area where Gao Jiu and others appeared.

According to the information provided by Yoshida and the others, Gao Jiu and the others crossed the deep mountain on foot, and their marching speed was too late to jump out of the mountain.

A large number of Japanese troops took cars to intercept the way of Gao Jiu and others, and blockades began to be laid on roads in other directions.

They were moving so fast that it was believed that Gao Jiu and the others would not have time to jump out of the encirclement.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, tens of thousands of Japanese troops surrounded the mountainous area where Gao Jiu and others appeared from all directions.They lit a bonfire on the road and sealed off the mountain area.If you look down from the sky, countless bonfires form a huge circle, which looks very spectacular.

Including Yoshida, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army did not dare to slack off at all.They watched the vast forest in the encirclement vigilantly, preventing Gao Jiu and others from suddenly attacking and rushing out of the encirclement.

It was finally dawn, Captain Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, he believed that Gao Jiu and others had been surrounded in the mountains.

The high-level Japanese army did not receive the report of Gao Jiu and others breaking out of the encirclement, so they were relieved and ordered a large force to enter the mountain to search at 9:[-] am.In order to prevent Gao Jiu and others from escaping, two reconnaissance planes were specially sent to patrol the air, and at any time to indicate the direction for the Japanese army to break through the encirclement.

Although the mountain forest where Gao Jiu and others are hiding is smaller than the three major mountain ranges in Luzon Island, its range is tens of square kilometers, and it is not easy to search for it.

Fortunately, the Japanese army had a large number of people. They advanced in a dense formation and gradually narrowed the encirclement. However, they never found any trace of Gao Jiu and others.

By 4 p.m., there was only a mountain top less than one square kilometer left in front of us.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army thought that Gao Jiu and others must be in this mountain, so they all raised their vigilance and searched forward cautiously to guard against the attack of Gao Jiu and others.

As time went by, because no trace of Gao Jiu and others was found, Captain Yoshida felt very bad. He looked at the last mountain ahead, feeling empty in his heart.He felt that Gao Jiu and others were not in the mountain ahead, and they might have already jumped out of the encirclement.

Facts have proved that Captain Yoshida's premonition was correct. Thousands of Japanese soldiers walked through every plant and tree on the last hill, but found no trace.

The supreme commander in charge of searching for and suppressing Gao Jiu and the others was a brigade commander. When he learned that Gao Jiu and the others were not in the encirclement, he was very angry and called Captain Yoshida, who provided the information, to come over in public. He was given a few big mouths, accusing him of lying about military information, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources in vain.

Captain Yoshida has always been smooth sailing, and it can be said that he is very proud.This time he was humiliated in public and hated Gao Jiu and the others to the bone. He vowed to catch Gao Jiu and the others.

Where did Gao Jiu and the others go?
