The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 780 You Don't Need This
Before the army set off, Gao Jiu invited the head of the Malaysian underground party and said to him: "Your guerrillas have persisted in fighting in Malaysia for a long time, and your impressive deeds are admirable.

The reason why you can persevere is mainly relying on guerrilla tactics. In the vast mountainous areas, dense forests, and rural areas, where the Japanese and puppet rule is relatively weak, you have continued to develop and grow stronger by attacking the Japanese and puppet troops.

Your combat experience is similar to that of our Taohuashan guerrillas. "

The person in charge of the underground party in Malaysia heard that Gao Jiu is coming to Malaysia this time. He has done a lot of homework and collected a lot of information about Gao Jiu.

He deeply admired how Gao Jiu and the others grew rapidly from a small guerrilla group into a powerful force.

The person in charge of the Malaysian underground party said sincerely: "Mr. Gao, although we have made some small achievements over the years, compared with you, the gap is really too big."

Gao Jiu said: "Let's not say these kind words, there is a good opportunity for rapid development and growth in front of you.

The coalition forces are about to attack Kuala Lumpur on a large scale, and will fight the main force of the Japanese army in the Kuala Lumpur area. The main force of the Japanese and puppet troops has been transferred to the Kuala Lumpur area, and the vast countryside has basically become a vacuum for the Japanese and puppet forces.

I suggest that you seize this opportunity to completely destroy the grassroots organizations of the Japanese puppet people and expand and develop your base areas.

You can safely and boldly gather a part of the main force and bravely attack the areas occupied by the Japanese and puppet troops. The Japanese army is unable to mobilize a large force to attack you. You must firmly seize this opportunity. "

The person in charge of the underground party in Malaysia was very excited when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Gao, I understand, but our equipment is too backward. I hope Mr. Gao can provide assistance."

Gao Jiu said: "You can rest assured. Before you leave, I will send you a batch of weapons and ammunition, and send a radio team to go back with you. I will send a transport plane to drop weapons, ammunition and supplies to you."

The head of the Malaysian underground party said gratefully: "Mr. Gao is really generous. On behalf of the vast number of Malaysian anti-Japanese guerrillas, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."

Gao Jiu called Jia Liu and asked him to accompany the head of the Malaysian underground party to collect weapons and ammunition.

The first batch of materials that Gao Jiu handed over to the Malaysian underground party guerrillas included 50 Type 2000 infantry guns and [-] rounds of shells. When I came to Malaysia for the first time, considering that the guerrillas here would need it, I specially brought it and handed it over to them.

Other weapons include mortars, 82mm recoilless guns, rocket launchers, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, etc.

There were not many people from the underground party in Malaysia this time. Gao Jiu first asked them to take a small part away, and promised to contact them through the radio and airdrop them after they went back.

The head of the Malaysian underground party was very excited to get these weapons, but he was very envious when he saw the armored combat vehicles and large-caliber artillery equipped by the coalition forces, especially those anti-aircraft guns.

He said to Jia Liu: "Can you provide us with some of those weapons?"

Jia Liu said lightly: "I'm afraid you don't need these, especially anti-aircraft guns. The Japanese army will not use bombers to deal with you."

The head of the Malaysian underground party understood it, and he also knew that the Japanese looked down on their guerrillas and were reluctant to send bombers to bomb them.

He smiled awkwardly, and finally said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Jia Liu."

Next, Gao Jiu called Li Chengwu and the commander of the Marine Corps, and said to them: "Your main task is not to fight against the Japanese army, but to send a large number of intelligence teams to the coastal areas to monitor the Japanese sea and air forces. action.

Your Marine Corps has been active in this area for a while, and the enemy situation and terrain are relatively familiar. I suggest that the Taohuashan guerrillas and the British army be mixed and keep in touch with the headquarters at any time. "

After Li Chengwu accepted the task, he went to discuss specific cooperation matters with the commander of the British Marine Corps.

Gao Jiu called the commander of the British army again and said to him: "Lead the British army as the vanguard and march towards Kuala Lumpur with great fanfare, and the speed of the march should not be too fast.

When they reached Beiluo Ridge, they stopped advancing, built fortifications, and bombarded the Japanese army with large-caliber artillery.

If there are Japanese troops attacking, repel them resolutely.After repelling the Japanese attack, do not pursue the Japanese army. "

The British commander accepted the order and set off with the British and Burmese troops.

Seeing Gao Jiu let the British army take the lead, George couldn't help worrying.

He said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, what should the British and Burmese troops do if they are bombed by Japanese planes on the way to the march or after arriving at the front line?"

Gao Jiu said: "Be safe and don't be impatient. Let's talk about it after I finish the arrangement."

Gao Jiu called Wang Zhankui and Liao Tong, explained to them, and they also took orders to set off.

At this time, George suddenly realized, and he said with admiration: "Mr. Gao, you are really thoughtful, and now I feel relieved."

The coalition forces set off one after another, and Gao Jiu and others also left Bahrain Town and followed the brigade.

Yamashita received reports that Malaysian guerrilla activities were becoming more and more frequent. They launched fierce offensives in vast rural areas, and a large number of Japanese grassroots organizations were destroyed. They kept asking Yamashita for help.

Just as Gao Jiu judged, Yamashita Fengwen is now focusing his energy on dealing with Gao Jiu's coalition forces, and he has no ability to mobilize troops to deal with the guerrillas. He can only order the Japanese and puppet troops from all over the country to gather in large towns. Protect yourself.

The guerrillas in Malaysia saw the Japanese and puppet troops fleeing everywhere, so they boldly launched attacks continuously.

The people in the vast villages have been oppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops for a long time. Seeing the Japanese and puppet troops fleeing, they rose up one after another and joined the guerrillas.

In just one week, the Malaysian guerrillas expanded to more than [-] people.

Gao Jiu meant what he said, and sent a transport plane to send a large amount of weapons and ammunition to the Malaysian guerrillas.

The momentum of the Malaysian guerrillas grew stronger. They attacked the city all day long and quickly occupied the vast rural areas of Malaysia.

At the beginning, Yamashita was worried about the activities of Malaysian guerrillas.

When he learned that Gao Jiu was leading a large coalition army to march towards Kuala Lumpur, he didn't bother to pay attention to these things any more, and even asked not to report to him these irrelevant things.

The army, navy and air force of the Japanese army have always lacked cooperation with each other. Fufumi Yamashita knew that although the Japanese army under him was powerful, it was still very difficult to fight against Gao Jiu's coalition forces.

He knew that if he wanted to hold Kuala Lumpur, it would not work without the support of the Japanese navy.

So he lowered his stance, prepared generous gifts himself, went to the naval port of the Japanese navy, negotiated with the Japanese fleet commander, and asked them to assist his 25th Army in defending Kuala Lumpur.

Yamashita suffered a defeat in Thailand and lost the position of commander of the South Asian Front, which was already at his fingertips. He was very angry and worried, because his talents had been questioned by his superiors.

If the battle in the Malay Peninsula fails again this time, and Malaysia and Singapore are lost, I am afraid that he, the commander of the 25th Army, will not be able to be the commander of the [-]th Army.

Yamashita Fufumi must win this time. Therefore, he spent a lot of money this time, not only sending a whole box of gold to the Japanese navy, but also humbly smiling at the commander of the Japanese navy.

You know, he is the commander of the lieutenant general, while the commander of the Japanese navy fleet is only a major general.

Among the highly hierarchical Japanese army, Yamashita Fengwen's posture has been lowered very low.

Despite this, the Japanese navy did not buy it for Yamashita Fengwen, and only agreed to help Yamashita Fengwen to attack the coalition forces for the sake of the box of gold.

This morning, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which was set up in the northwest of Kuala Lumpur, discovered that a brigade of coalition forces appeared 10 kilometers ahead.

The armored vehicles of the brigade opened the way ahead and gradually approached the Japanese defense line.

The British troops who acted as the vanguard of the coalition forces stopped at a distance of 8 kilometers from the Japanese army's forward position and began to set up artillery. Soon after, they launched shelling on the Japanese army's position.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army was also equipped with a certain number of 105mm howitzers, and also launched a counterattack against the coalition forces.

The head of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army sent a reconnaissance unit. They quietly approached the forward position of the British army and saw a large number of neatly lined up armored vehicles and a large number of artillery on the British army's position.

The scouts debriefed like the commander of the 18th Division.

The head of the 18th Division specifically asked them to reconnaissance. Are there anti-aircraft guns on the British positions?
The scouts of the Japanese army did not dare to get too close to the enemy's position. Through the artillery mirror, they saw some anti-aircraft machine guns on the coalition's position, but did not see large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, so they reported this situation to the 18th Division again. The head of the group made a report.

At this moment, more than a dozen armored vehicles drove out from the position of the British army.These armored vehicles lined up, and at least one battalion of British soldiers stood between the armored vehicles, or followed behind, and searched forward.

The Japanese scouts had nowhere to hide, so they had to retreat to the Japanese position.

Just after the Japanese army retreated, a large number of trucks drove out from behind the British army, dragging a large number of anti-aircraft guns, and hid them in the front and left and right sides of the British army position.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the truck unloaded the anti-aircraft guns and quickly retreated to the British position.

The anti-aircraft gunners lowered the muzzles to an almost horizontal position, pushed them into the bushes, and chopped down some branches to camouflage the high-velocity guns.

At the same time, a large number of anti-aircraft guns also appeared on the two wings and rear of the British position, and they were all hidden.

Yamashita Fengwen received a telegram from the commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and notified the Japanese Navy Fleet.

The Japanese navy sent a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance first.

The British troops saw the Japanese reconnaissance plane flying over, and the anti-aircraft machine guns in the position opened fire on the Japanese reconnaissance plane.

The reconnaissance planes already knew that there were anti-aircraft machine guns in the British army, so they flew very high, and did not pass over the British positions. They just circled at high altitudes around them, avoiding the bullets of the British anti-aircraft machine guns.

Although the Japanese pilots did not fly over the British positions, they could still see the situation inside the British positions very clearly, because a large number of British armored vehicles and other vehicles were neatly arranged, and the artillery positions were also Very eye-catching, unobstructed.

After the Japanese reconnaissance plane saw it clearly, it circled in the air for a while, and then began to return.

The two Japanese aircraft carriers staying in the Strait of Malacca received reports from reconnaissance planes, and the carrier planes took off one after another.

The Taohuashan guerrillas and the British reconnaissance teams reported to Wang Zhankui when they saw the Japanese bombers taking off.

Wang Zhankui ordered those anti-aircraft guns to be ready to attack Japanese bombers.

Not long after the Japanese reconnaissance plane left, the officers and soldiers on the British army's position fled the position one after another and hid in the jungle outside the position.

Some British troops stayed in the position. They were anti-aircraft machine gunners. There was also an anti-aircraft machine gunner on each infantry fighting vehicle. They loaded their bullets and waited quietly for the Japanese bombers to fly.

The Japanese bombers flew over the Japanese positions roaring, and continued to fly towards the British positions.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were very excited and waved to the bombers in the sky. Some cheered loudly, and some even saluted the bombers in the sky.

The head of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was also very excited. He ordered his troops to prepare for the attack. Once the Japanese bombers caused heavy damage to the enemy, he would command the troops to attack the enemy.

The Japanese bombers roared over. They saw a large number of vehicles and artillery on the British position, and they began to lower their noses and dive down a few kilometers away.

At this moment, in front of the British army's position, a large number of German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns imitated by the Golden Triangle suddenly appeared, and they fired violently at the Japanese bombers.

More than 100 anti-aircraft guns fired non-stop, and shells exploded in the air non-stop, puffs of white smoke rose.

The Japanese bombers were shrouded in these white smoke and were constantly shot and caught fire, and some simply exploded in the air.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese bombers by surprise.They didn't care about bombing the position of the British army, and hurriedly pulled up, trying to escape as soon as possible.

The British anti-aircraft machine gunners also took the opportunity to fire into the sky, and several bombers were shot down.

A total of 34 Japanese bombers were dispatched. In the round of strikes just now, 23 were destroyed, and the remaining 11 and two aircraft were slightly injured.

The Japanese pilots knew that they were in an ambush, and seeing the fierce enemy firepower, they did not dare to bomb again, so they circled around and prepared to return to the aircraft carrier from the side of the British position.

On their way back, they were again hit by anti-aircraft fire, and several planes were shot down. In the end, only 3 bombers flew back to the aircraft carrier.
