The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 735 Master Jiu is Really Rich
As soon as the battle began, Gao Jiu commanded the Taohuashan guerrillas, a regiment of the underground party, and the Ninth War Zone Guard Regiment to attack the second Japanese guard brigade in a three-sided situation.

The reason why Gao Jiu adopted the tactics of encircling three and missing one was not that he didn't want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army, but that he was worried that the Japanese army would desperately resist after being surrounded.

If they aimed their breakthrough at a regiment of the underground party, or the guard regiment of the Ninth War Zone, they would not be able to stop it at all, and it would inevitably cause heavy casualties, and the Japanese army might even flee due to confusion.

Gao Jiu deliberately left them a retreat and forced them to retreat. During the retreat, they were unable to organize an effective counterattack, and the anti-Japanese armed forces could gradually wipe out the enemy during the pursuit.

Gao Jiu is not worried that the Japanese army will really escape, because this Japanese army has a big weakness, that is, they are infantry, while the Taohuashan guerrillas are all cavalry, and there are many vehicles. Guerrillas can easily surround them.

The captain of the Second Brigade of Japanese Guards was very experienced in combat. It was obvious that he had seen through Gao Jiu's trick. After seeing the anti-Japanese army attacking them, they did retreat quickly, but they did not retreat directly. To seize a hill on the right side of the road, they wanted to occupy a favorable terrain first, repel the anti-Japanese attack, and wait until they had a clear judgment on the enemy's situation before making a decision.

The head of the guard regiment of the Ninth War Zone saw that the Japanese army was going to seize that side of the hill, worried that they would hold on to the danger, so he ordered the troops to rush to that side of the hill, hoping to seize the commanding heights first and drive the Japanese army back to the open area below the hillside.

Both the enemy and the enemy knew that the situation was urgent, so they climbed up the hillside desperately.

It has to be said that these specially trained devils are extremely powerful in combat. Regardless of their small stature, they run very fast, and they have strong mountain combat experience. Officers and soldiers.

They climbed to the top of the mountain a few seconds earlier than the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment, and shot violently at the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment who had rushed up the mountain. The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu hurriedly ordered to stop the attack and surrounded the Japanese army on all sides.

The captain of the Second Japanese Guard Brigade stood on the top of the slope and had a clear view of the enemy's situation down the mountain.When he saw the Taohuashan guerrillas wearing black uniforms in the west, he really realized the danger.

He knew that if they were surrounded here, the final outcome would be annihilation.

He made a quick decision, and regardless of the exhaustion of the Japanese officers and soldiers who had just climbed the mountain, he immediately ordered all the troops to descend the mountain and launched a fierce attack on the guard regiment of the ninth theater that had just been repulsed by them.They were determined to break through the guard regiment of the Ninth War Zone and break out of the encirclement from them.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu hurriedly ordered Zheng Sanpao to lead a special warfare squadron to rush to the Ninth War Zone Guard Regiment.

The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment had just been repulsed by the Japanese army, suffered heavy casualties, and their morale was temporarily low.They didn't expect the Japanese army to launch a breakout so quickly, and they were coming towards them. They became a little flustered, and many officers and soldiers immediately began to flee.

Before the battle, Gao Jiu reminded the head of the guard regiment that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong, so he made preparations in advance and specially organized a supervisory team to strengthen the platoon.

Seeing the officers and soldiers fleeing in a panic, the head of the regiment personally took a machine gun and fired violently at the retreating soldiers.

The members of the supervisory team also shot at the broken soldiers mercilessly.

More than 20 deserters were killed, and only then did they stabilize their position.The officers and soldiers of the Ninth War Zone Guard Regiment lay on the ground and blocked the Japanese army.

Under the dense rain of bullets, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were also shot and fell down one after another.But they were not afraid, and continued to rush towards the guard regiment in the ninth theater.

These Japanese soldiers were holding automatic firearms, and their marksmanship was extremely accurate. The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment were shot and killed one after another.When they saw that the devil soldiers were not afraid of death, they had already developed a sense of fear.Seeing the Japanese army rushing closer and closer, fear finally overwhelmed everything, they got up again and began to retreat.

The Japanese soldiers rushed and knocked down the fleeing Guojun officers and soldiers to the ground in groups.

Seeing this situation, the head of the guard regiment knew that there was nothing he could do to recover. Under the persuasion of the staff officers, he also prepared to retreat.

At this moment, the cavalry of the Taohuashan guerrillas appeared behind the guard group.

These cavalry crossed the rout of the guard regiment, jumped off their horses, and organized an attack on the Japanese army on the spot.The guerrillas, armed with more powerful Bobosha submachine guns, violently fired at the Japanese army.

After the Japanese army suffered a violent blow, they were shot and fell down one after another.Seeing the intensity of the enemy's fire, they were forced to stop their attack.

The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment saw the reinforcements from the Taohuashan guerrillas arrived, and their morale recovered a lot. Under the yelling of the regiment commander and officers, they all lay down on the ground and shot at the Japanese army, finally blocking the advance of the Japanese army. .

At the same time, the main force of the Taohuashan guerrillas also rushed here.

Seeing this situation, the captain of the Second Battalion of the Japanese Army Guards did not want to fight the Taohuashan guerrillas below the hillside, so he ordered the troops to retreat to the mountain.They intend to stick to the danger and ask their superiors to send troops for reinforcements.

Zheng Sanpao saw that the Japanese army began to retreat, and immediately led the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas to catch up.

The second captain of the Japanese guard saw someone commanding in front of the Taohuashan guerrillas and knew that he was the commander of the guerrillas.

So he picked up his submachine gun and shot at Zheng Sanpao.

Zheng Sanpao was charging, and the bullets hit him head-on. He was hit by at least a dozen bullets, blood spurted out of his mouth, and he lay on the ground directly.

Seeing the captain fell to the ground, the special forces members couldn't help but let out exclamations.

Wang Zhankui, who came later, saw that Zheng Sanpao had an accident, so he flew off his horse, ran to Zheng Sanpao, picked him up, and saw that Zheng Sanpao had already lost his breath.

Wang Zhankui was red-eyed. He personally held a machine gun and rushed up with the guerrillas.

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu worried that Wang Zhankui would have another accident, so he hastily issued an order to stop the attack.

Zheng Sanpao and Wang Zhankui were old brothers when they were bandits, and their relationship was extremely deep.At this moment, his heart was full of anger, and Gao Jiu's order could not stop him from avenging his brother.

He continued to rush forward and was also shot in the leg.

The special forces members rushed to cover and helped him back.

The Japanese army retreated to the mountain and urgently repaired the fortifications, determined to stick to it and wait for help.

Gao Jiu commanded the anti-Japanese armed forces to surround the enemy on all sides.

Zheng Sanpao died and Wang Zhankui was injured. This was the heaviest loss suffered by the Taohuashan guerrillas since its establishment.

Gao Jiu was also anxious, and he ordered the troops to build fortifications on the spot to prevent the Japanese army from breaking out.

In order to completely wipe out the Japanese army, Gao Jiu urgently mobilized the anti-Japanese armed forces that could be mobilized around to strengthen the encirclement of the Japanese army, and ordered the follow-up troops of the Taohuashan guerrillas to mobilize all the artillery that could be mobilized.

Surrounded by the Japanese army on the mountain, after the battle just now, there are still more than [-] people.The captain trusts the officers and soldiers under him very much. He firmly believes that with the favorable terrain they occupy, it will be no problem to stick here for three days and three nights.

Seeing the large number of enemy troops at the foot of the mountain, he knew that it would be impossible to break through with his own people, so he sent telegrams to the commanders of the Southern Front Army and the 11th Army respectively.

The Chief of Staff of the Southern Front Army had turned a blind eye to the actions of this army unit. He did not expect that the Second Guard Brigade would be encircled as soon as it entered the area controlled by the anti-Japanese armed forces. He did not want to participate in this matter anymore. So I chose to ignore it.

The commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army received the report and knew that this Japanese army was a confidant of Commander Okamura. For the sake of Commander Okamura, he ordered to send an infantry wing to rush to help.

After receiving a telegram from the commander of the 11th Army that the commander of the [-]th Army had dispatched reinforcements, the captain of the Second Battalion of the Japanese Guards told his officers and soldiers the news.

Each of these guys shouted vowedly, holding their ground until the reinforcements arrived.

The captain was very satisfied with the morale of the officers and soldiers under him.

The captain of the Japanese army is still a little nervous now, because the fortifications on the mountain have not been repaired, and he is worried that the anti-Japanese armed forces will launch an attack at this time, which will make it difficult for him to deal with it.

Time passed by one minute and one second, and the Japanese army built fortifications on the mountain.

The captain of the Japanese army couldn't help but feel a little strange. He didn't understand why the Taohuashan guerrillas didn't attack just now while the Japanese army's fortifications were not repaired. He couldn't help laughing secretly, thinking that Gao Jiu was nothing more than that.

Two hours later, the anti-Japanese army still did not launch an attack, but the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could see that many new anti-Japanese armed forces had arrived, and the encirclement was getting stronger and stronger.

The captain of the Japanese army still dismissed this. He believed that as soon as the reinforcements arrived, they should cooperate with each other and they would be able to quickly defeat the anti-Japanese armed forces at the foot of the mountain.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the captain of the Japanese army who was dozing off received a report. The Japanese major who reported to him had a look of panic on his face, saying that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived again.

The Japanese army captain scolded angrily: "You are so panic-stricken, how decent are you?"

The Japanese army commander said: "Your Excellency, Captain, you should go and see for yourself."

The captain came to the observation post on the top of the mountain, picked up the binoculars and looked down the mountain, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his head.

He saw that rows of mortars and mountain guns had appeared on the enemy's position, and there were vehicles coming from behind, and the enemy was unloading larger-caliber artillery from the vehicles.

He looked around and found that this was the case. Without counting, he knew that the enemy's artillery had at least a hundred.

The captain of the Japanese army was dumbfounded.In his cognition, even the equipment of the Guo army is very backward, and it is not comparable to the Japanese field army, let alone their special forces.He really couldn't understand where the enemy got so many artillery pieces.

At this time, he really realized the strength of the Taohuashan guerrillas. He thought to himself: "No wonder the Japanese army who fought Gao Jiu before always suffered. It turns out that this guy has so many advanced weapons."

He looked at the officers and soldiers under him, and couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Although they rushed to repair the fortifications, the soil layer on the hillside was so thin that they couldn't dig the cat's ear holes at all. All the officers and soldiers were still exposed on the ground. If the enemy's artillery fire covered them, the consequences would be disastrous.

He was a little anxious, and hurriedly sent a telegram to the commander of the 11th Army again, urging when the reinforcements would arrive.

He received a call back saying that reinforcements from a regiment sent out were already on their way, and it would take about seven hours to reach their location. He hoped that they could hold their ground until the reinforcements arrived.

The captain of the Japanese army was about to cry. He knew that the enemy's cannons were going to open fire soon, and he couldn't last even one hour, let alone seven hours.

The captain of the Japanese army had no choice but to order the officers and soldiers to disperse and hide as much as possible to reduce the casualties caused by enemy artillery fire.But the hills they are holding on to are less than one square kilometer in total, so where can the five hundred officers and soldiers hide?

Half an hour later, Gao Jiu received a report that all the artillery had been prepared.

The anger in Gao Jiu's heart was very strong, and he ordered: "All the artillery fire together for me, and shoot all the shells."

"Boom, boom, boom."

The 192 artillery pieces under the mountain fired at the same time, and the earth trembled.

The shelling went on for a full 40 minutes, and the artillerymen really fired up all the shells they brought, and then stopped.

The intensity of the shelling shocked the officers and soldiers watching the battle.Seeing that the mountain was blown up with smoke and dust, I was glad that I was not there.

The head of the underground party said with emotion: "These shells are worth millions of dollars, so they just shot them out. Master Jiu is really rich."

Gao Jiu saw that almost all the trees on the mountain were blown away, and the white rocks were all exposed. He estimated that the devils on the mountain were almost dead, so he ordered the scouts to go up to investigate.

Several members of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrilla team dispersed and walked up the hill cautiously. Gao Jiu saw them go up the hill and climbed to the top of the hill.

A guerrilla stood on the top of the mountain and waved a small flag. From the language of the flag, it can be known that the Japanese army on the mountain has basically been wiped out.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding anti-Japanese armed forces swarmed up, and sporadic gunshots came from the mountain, which indicated that the anti-Japanese armed forces were destroying the remnant soldiers who were stubbornly resisting.

Gao Jiu also came to the mountain, and saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers all over the mountain, most of them were mutilated, and the head of the Japanese captain was blown off, only the epaulets on his shoulders could prove his identity.

The victory of the battle is over, but Gao Jiu's heart is very heavy.The special forces of the Japanese army must not be underestimated. During the short battle, the number of anti-Japanese armed forces lost more than 600 people, including 22 members of the Taohuashan guerrillas, not to mention the heroic Zheng Sanpao Sacrifice, Wang Zhankui was seriously injured.
