The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 765 This is the gap

Yoshio Harada ordered several of his scouts to shoot forward to attract the attention of the enemy soldiers, and he quietly turned around from the side.

Yoshio Harada climbed up one side of the hill, but still did not dare to go straight ahead, so he continued to climb up the other side of the hill.

He walked sideways for more than ten miles on the mountain road before turning to the direction he wanted to scout.

Yoshio Harada carried a heavy radio on his back and a Type 38 rifle in his hand as he trekked through the jungle with difficulty.

He ate a mouthful of dry food when he was hungry, and drank stream water when he was thirsty. He walked like this for seven or eight hours. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he climbed up a banyan tree, lay down among the dense leaves and fell asleep.

"Boom, creak."

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by the roar of the engine and the sound of the tracks turning.

He looked through the dense branches and leaves, and the scene in front of him made him feel a burst of fear.

Yoshio Harada saw countless infantry fighting vehicles, military trucks loaded with supplies, military jeeps loaded with 82mm recoilless guns, and trucks towing cannons on the edge of the dense forest. Rolling forward like a torrent of steel, the direction of advancement is exactly where the 35th Brigade is stationed.

Harada Yoshio worked hard to count the number of various vehicles and judge the size of the enemy army. The convoy was so huge that he couldn't count it at all.

But one thing he can be sure of is that the size of this enemy army can completely compete with the entire 35th Brigade, and its superior firepower can completely crush the 35th Brigade.

He patiently waited for the convoy to pass, and then reported to the brigade headquarters.

Suddenly a jeep drove towards the big banyan tree where he was, and there were three Guojun soldiers wearing steel helmets on the jeep.Soon the jeep stopped not far from the tree.

Harada Yoshio was very nervous. He put his body as close to the tree trunk as possible, hoping not to be discovered by these Guojun soldiers.

The soldiers of the Guojun didn't wait and see from the tree, but stood not far under the tree for convenience.

The Japanese military uniform worn by Yoshio Harada has a short-sleeved top, military shorts underneath, suede shoes directly on his feet, and his thighs are bare.

He stared nervously at the Guojun soldiers near the jeep, and suddenly felt a chill on his thigh. He twitched his thigh involuntarily, and suddenly felt a needle-like pain.

When he looked down, his face instantly turned pale, and he saw a poisonous snake with a triangular head crawling across his legs.

Because of the twitch of his thigh just now, the poisonous snake bit him.

The wound was a little painful at the beginning, and gradually became numb, and then the area around the wound began to turn red and black.

Harada Yoshio's consciousness also began to be affected. He knew that he had been poisoned by a snake. He wanted to treat the wound very much, but he didn't dare to move at all.

Fortunately, not long after, those Guojun soldiers got into the jeep and left.

Yoshio Harada persisted on the tree for about 20 minutes, and the enemy's brigade finally drove past.

At this time, his sanity had begun to blur. He was very worried that he would not be able to hold on anymore, so he set up a radio to report the approaching enemy army to the brigade and regiment headquarters, without caring about treating the wound.

When he finally finished sending the telegram, his eyes went dark, his mind went blank, and he fell off the banyan tree uncontrollably.

Soon after, another convoy drove over, and Guojun soldiers in a jeep found Yoshio Harada lying under the big banyan tree.

Guojun soldiers drove the jeep over and found Yoshio Harada dead.

According to the location where Yoshio Harada fell down, they looked up and found the radio station erected on the tree, and they quickly reported this information to their superiors.

Not long after, this situation reached the ears of Gao Jiu and the others.

Liu Zhanying said: "Master Jiu, the actions of our troops may have been discovered by the Japanese army."

Gao Jiu smiled lightly and said, "Let's find out if you find it. Anyway, the Japanese army has already carried out shrinking defenses and found our traces. At most, they will strengthen the fortifications on the spot. It's nothing special."

Liu Zhanying was still a little worried. He said: "After the Japanese army got the news, their reinforcements will definitely speed up their march. Are we nervous about the time left for us to wipe out the Japanese 35th Brigade?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "It's nothing special, let me tell you this, the Japanese reinforcements are the 67th Division of the Japanese Army in Laos, and they are 35 hours away from the 16th Brigade of the Japanese Army. It can only be done by eating, not sleeping, and marching in a hurry.

With this time, it is enough for us to eliminate their 35th Brigade.Besides, it is hard to say whether the 67th Division of the Japanese Army will come to rescue the 35th Brigade. "

When Gao Jiu said this, he had a good idea in his heart. On the one hand, he believed that the powerful combat effectiveness of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army could completely destroy the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army in a short period of time; The division maintains a relatively close relationship with the Golden Triangle. Before the arrival of Yamashita Fengwen, the two sides had been doing business. It is expected that they will not actively reinforce the 67th Brigade.

Seeing Gao Jiu so relaxed, everyone was no longer nervous.

The convoy continued to roll forward.

The brigade head of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army received a telegram from Yoshio Harada and hurriedly ordered the troops to build the fortifications as soon as possible, and at the same time reported this information to Fengwen Yamashita.

Yamashita saw that, as he had expected, Gao Jiu had indeed mobilized an army to attack the 35th Brigade, so he sent a telegram to the 67th Division of the Japanese Army, ordering them to speed up their march and rush to help the 35th Brigade.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to the 11th Air Force, asking them to immediately drop supplies to the 35th Brigade and dispatch bombers to counter the Japanese marching brigade.

After the commander of the 11th Air Force of the Japanese Army received the order from Yamashita, he immediately sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that they had received the order from Yamashita, because they were sent by Yamashita in their headquarters and at the airport. People are watching, they have to carry out orders, send planes to drop supplies to the 35th Brigade and send bombers to bomb.

He hoped that Gao Jiu would cooperate with him in a play, so that he could have an explanation for Yamashita Fengwen.

Gao Jiu immediately sent him a telegram and agreed on a time for the two parties to cooperate with each other.

At the airport of the Japanese 11th Air Force, a transport plane full of supplies took off first, followed by a bomber plane full of bombs.

The person sent by Yamashita to supervise made a report to Yamashita, telling him that the 11th Air Force of the Air Force had carried out his order.

Fufumi Yamashita was very satisfied with this result, so he sent a telegram to the head of the 35th Brigade, asking them to prepare to receive supplies.

The head of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army was very happy after receiving the telegram, and immediately notified the good news to his subordinates, asking them to place a cross on the ground with a white cloth in the open space to guide the air force to carry out the airdrop.

The Japanese army's transport aircraft brigade was flying, and suddenly found a large number of enemy fighter jets in front of them.

The captain of the Japanese transport plane hurriedly ordered to retreat, and at the same time notified the tower of the airport.

Yamashita Fengwen monitored the air force in all directions. On the transport plane captain, there was a second lieutenant officer sent by him. This guy broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the enemy fighter jets appearing in the distance.

Seeing that the captain of the transport plane ordered to return, not only did he have no objection, but he also wished that the transport plane he was riding on would grow a pair of wings so that he could fly away and escape for his life.

The airport control tower received the news from the captain of the transport aircraft group, and gave an order to the bomber group that had already taken off, telling them to return immediately.

Yamashita Fengwen received a report from the Air Force and was confirmed by the supervisors he sent. He had no choice but to agree that the Air Force temporarily stopped dispatching.

When the officers and soldiers of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army heard the bad news, they couldn't help being very disappointed, and their morale was greatly hit.

In order to completely cut off the dispatch of the Japanese 11th Air Force's air force, Gao Jiu arranged for three bombers to fly over the Japanese airport at night and dropped several giant bombs designed to destroy the runway. Mi's big pit, which gave the 11th Air Force a reason not to send troops.

Yamashita Fengwen had no choice but to let the Air Force seize the time to rush to repair the runway.

On the surface, the commander of the 11th Air Force promised that Yamashita Fubumi would hurry up to repair the runway, but secretly asked his subordinates to do foreign work, and the work must be delayed until Gao Jiu and others ate up the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

The 67th Division of the Japanese Army was also ordered to dispatch. Before departure, a telegram was sent to Gao Jiu to explain the situation.

They were dawdling on the road, waiting for Gao Jiu to send a special team to attack, so as to give them a reason why they couldn't move forward.

Gao Jiu sent bombers to blow up an important bridge on the way forward of the 67th Division, and found a good excuse for them to delay the march.

So far, the conditions for encircling and annihilating the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army have matured.

The construction workers' self-defense force led by Gao Jiu and others, and the 38th Division of the Guojun led by Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying formed an encirclement of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army.

Wang Zhankui and others were originally responsible for attacking the reinforcements of the Japanese army after joining the Thai army. Now with the cooperation of the 67th Division, they no longer need to block the reinforcements of the Japanese army, so they also rushed to the station of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army , joined the encirclement.

高九等人这次总共带16门122mm榴弹炮、18门102mm榴弹炮、32门仿制的日军九二式步兵炮、数百门迫击炮，还有大量的82mm无后座力炮等火炮，火力的强度至少超过了日军第35旅团的五倍以上，这还不包括泰国军队拥有的大量的火炮。

The officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army saw rows of various artillery pieces, and they were very much looking forward to seeing what would happen to those devils after these artillery pieces fired.

The time for the general attack was set at 38:[-] pm. The Taohuashan guerrillas, construction workers' self-defense force, the [-]th Division of the Yuanzheng Army and the Thai army took the time to prepare and waited for Gao Jiu to issue the general attack order.

Golden Triangle Administrative Council.

After Gao Jiu's expedition, the management of the Golden Triangle's government affairs actually fell on Ouyang Xue.When Gao Jiu left before, most of them did the same.

After all, Long Guobi is the daughter of the King of Yunnan, and she has the temperament of a young lady, so she is somewhat dissatisfied with Ouyang Xue.

This time Jia Liu went out with Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu temporarily appointed Long Guobi to take over Jia Liu's job.

Although Long Guobi has trained quite well over the years, she found that even if it was Jia Liu's job, she felt a little bit of difficulty taking over.

There were some things she could only ask for advice, and Ouyang Xue patiently and meticulously answered them one by one.

The affairs of the Golden Triangle were complicated, but Ouyang Xue handled them with ease.

Ouyang Xue has a calm personality, is shrewd and capable, and is friendly to others. It can be seen that the people in charge of all aspects of the Golden Triangle respect her from the bottom of their hearts.

Long Guobi could also feel the charm of a mature woman in Ouyang Xue, and the slight dissatisfaction with her before had completely disappeared.

She praised sincerely: "Sister Ruoxue, you are really amazing."

Ouyang Xue took Long Guobi's hand cordially, and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are also very good. Ninth brother often praises you in front of me."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Jiu gave the order to attack.

As three red flares went into the air, the anti-Japanese army launched a fierce shelling attack on the Japanese positions.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Various types of shells kept exploding on the positions and camps of the Japanese army. The density of the shells was very high. Although the soil here was moist and the smoke would not be rolled up, the density of the shells was too high, and the mud splashed by the explosion Still enveloped the entire Japanese position.

The head of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese Army hid in a semi-underground bunker, his ears buzzing from the explosion of shells.

Although he had already heard that the Taohuashan guerrillas had strong firepower, he never expected that their artillery fire would be so fierce.

The brigade commander was very worried that the soldiers guarding the trenches would suffer heavy casualties from such heavy shelling.

The Japanese army paid great attention to artillery defense when digging trenches, so they usually dug cat ear holes in the trenches.

However, the geographical conditions here do not allow it. The thickness of the soil layer is not enough, only a little more than 1 meter. In the trenches.

This is a tropical rainforest climate, the ground is extremely humid, and there is even stagnant water everywhere. The trenches are a good place for natural stagnant water.In order to avoid the explosion of shells, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army had half of their bodies soaked in muddy water.They held their heads, hoping that the enemy's shelling would end quickly.

However, the shells of the anti-Japanese army seemed to be free of money, and the shelling did not end for a long time. Under the bombardment of large-caliber artillery, the fortifications built by the Japanese army with sandbags were basically destroyed.A large number of mortar shells fell in the trenches, causing a large number of casualties of Japanese officers and soldiers.

The Japanese army was also equipped with a lot of artillery. Although they were not as good as those of the Anti-Japanese Army, they also engaged in artillery battles with the Anti-Japanese Army. Both sides suffered casualties, but the firepower of the Anti-Japanese Army was overwhelming. was exhausted.
