The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 801 Don't give a chance to fight back

Jinan city.

Hearing that Gao Jiu had come to Jinan, Xu Zhongming, station chief of the Jinan Military Command Station, and Li Xikun, deputy station chief, went out of the city to meet Gao Jiu in person.

The old friends were very affectionate when they met, and told each other about their parting feelings.

Gao Jiu asked Xu Zhongming and others about their situation in Jinan City. Xu Zhongming and Li Xikun said that they are under a lot of pressure now.

Since Doihara became the Minister of the Army, he has control over the Army.He himself is a spy, so he attaches great importance to the special high school system.

The Jinan Gendarmerie Headquarters has been replaced by a group of die-hard elements of the Japanese army. These guys are very active, arresting anti-Japanese elements everywhere, and putting a lot of pressure on the Jinan Station of the Military Command.

Gao Jiu expressed his understanding for this. He said that this time he came to Jinan City, he wanted to teach Little Japan a hard lesson, including destroying the Japanese army's special high school system.

According to Gao Jiu's request, Xu Zhongming and others had learned about the situation at the airport of the Japanese Third Air Force in advance.

Under the persecution of Doihara, the Japanese Third Air Force has decided to go to war with Gao Jiu.

They knew that Gao Jiu was not easy to mess with, so they put pressure on the Japanese 12th Army and asked them to send heavy troops to protect the airport in Jinan.

At present, the 141st Division of the Japanese Army has dispatched an infantry unit stationed at Jinan Airport.In order to prevent the guerrillas from approaching and attacking, they planted a large number of landmines around the airport. Many innocent people stepped on the landmines as they passed by, causing a lot of casualties.

After discussing with Gao Jiu and the others, they decided to follow the original plan and go to the third air force's airport in Jinan first.

They decided to use the darkness to approach the Japanese airfield tonight, and use the 240mm caliber heavy mortars they carried to bombard the airfield.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Gao Jiu and others, accompanied by Li Xikun, were about to go to the Japanese airfield, but suddenly received a telegram from Geng Hua from the direction of Xuzhou.

Geng Hua said excitedly in the telegram: "Master Jiu, we have just attacked the airfield of the Japanese Sixth Air Force on the outskirts of Xuzhou, destroyed at least 20 military aircraft on the airfield, and wiped out hundreds of Japanese troops."

Gao Jiu couldn't help but feel a little headache when he heard the news.

Gao Jiu has always maintained a good understanding with the Sixth Air Force of the Japanese Army. This is a battle in the direction of Henan. The Sixth Air Force of the Japanese Army did not dispatch from Xiangyang Airport to support the Japanese army. It can be said that it has helped Gao Jiu a lot. .

Geng Hua didn't know about these things. He led troops out for the first time and was eager to make contributions, so he suddenly attacked the airport of the Sixth Air Force in Xuzhou, which broke the tacit understanding between Gao Jiu and the Sixth Air Force. , got into a lot of trouble.

Not only that, Geng Hua launched a surprise attack on the Japanese airport in Xuzhou, and the Japanese Third Air Force must have been notified. They must have strengthened their defenses now, which added a lot of trouble for Gao Jiu and others to attack the airport in Jinan.

Sure enough, the special forces sent by Guo Hengming to reconnaissance the enemy came back and reported that the garrison at the Japanese airport was suddenly dispatched and the cordon was set up within 10km around the airport. It was impossible for Gao Jiu and others to secretly approach the enemy's airport. .

Guo Hengming was very dissatisfied with Geng Hua's actions, saying that he was born with a melon egg and didn't think about it before doing things. At the very least, he should ask Master Jiu for instructions.

Gao Jiu didn't intend to blame Geng Hua, and understood Geng Hua's original intention of making contributions. In any case, Geng Hua and those special forces were fighting bloody battles against the Japanese invaders, and their spirit was commendable.

Besides, he was also responsible for this matter himself, and he didn't explain it to Geng Hua in advance.Therefore, instead of blaming Geng Hua and others, Gao Jiu sent a telegram of congratulations, telling them not to worry about other things, just monitor the Japanese army in Xuzhou, and report immediately if they found signs of going north to Tai'an.

At the same time, they are also told to protect themselves.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the commander of the Japanese Sixth Air Force, acknowledging that the attack on Xuzhou Airport was done by the Taohuashan guerrillas. He explained the incident, claiming that it was a misunderstanding, and hoped that the commander would understand .He immediately sent someone to send a batch of gold bars to the Sixth Air Force as compensation for them, as well as pensions for the Japanese officers and soldiers who were accidentally injured on the airport.

To be honest, the commander and chief of staff of the Japanese army were very angry when the Sixth Air Force was attacked at the airport in Xuzhou.

But Gao Jiu personally sent them a telegram, explained them, expressed a good attitude, and took remedial measures, which made them feel better.

Besides, they also knew how powerful Gao Jiu was. Since Gao Jiu was given to go down the steps, even though they were still unhappy in their hearts, they had no choice but to hold their noses and admit it.

Now that the airport in Jinan was unavailable, Gao Jiu decided to find another way. He quickly thought of a way and sent a telegram to Du Shengxi who was staying in Tai'an City.

The next day, after a day of reconnaissance, the special forces members reported that the cordon around the Japanese airport had shrunk a little during the day, but still maintained a range of 5km, and the guerrillas were still unable to use giant mortars to bombard the airport.

This was already within Gao Jiu's expectations. Yesterday he sent a telegram to Du Shengxi, asking him to lead the heavy artillery unit of the Taohuashan guerrillas to Jinan City.

Gao Jiu intends to use the 122mm howitzer for long-range strikes.

The shooting of large-caliber artillery is beyond visual range, and the effective range of 122mm howitzer can reach 12km.For shelling at such a long distance, it is necessary to have artillery units at a distance of about 1km from the enemy's front. An artillery command post must be established. First, scouts will conduct reconnaissance, ranging, air pressure measurement, etc., and then hand it over to the calculation soldiers. Calculate, and finally get the scale and direction of shooting, and direct the large-caliber artillery in the distance to shoot.

Now that the Japanese army's blockade circle is 5km long, it is impossible for the artillery command post to calmly command near the enemy's airport. Under normal circumstances, it cannot pose a threat to the Japanese army's airport.

But Gao Jiu is different, his mind is more accurate than the artillery radar.Gao Jiu boarded a hillside 6km away from Jinan Airport. Since the distance was too far, he also used the artillery mirror. After calculation, he ordered to shoot Du Shengxi, who was 12km away. Zhu Yuan.

The shooting distance this time was a bit too far. The most important thing is that Gao Jiu’s observation distance was too far. Gao Jiu could not accurately grasp the temperature, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction and other data near the airport. Therefore, the first row of shells came over. , At least four 500 meters away from the Japanese airport.

But Gao Jiu couldn't be bothered, he commanded the artillerymen to constantly adjust the shooting elements, and soon, the artillery fire hit the Japanese airport.

When the first row of artillery shells exploded, the Japanese army in charge of security immediately searched for the enemy's artillery command post near the airport. Unfortunately, they did not find any traces. They really did not understand how the enemy's artillery came.

The 122mm howitzers fired non-stop, and the Japanese military aircraft parked on the airport, the airport buildings, and the runway of the airport were severely damaged, and it was impossible to resume use in a short time.

The Japanese garrison near the airport was impatient. They judged the general direction of the enemy's artillery and knew that the enemy's artillery was within a range of more than ten kilometers at most, so they dispatched a large force to shoot at the artillery Direction search forward.

The heavy mortars carried by Gao Jiu and others were too far away to reach the Japanese airport, but when the Japanese officers and soldiers drove out of the airport and entered within a range of 3km, the special forces began to use giant mortars The artillery blasted fiercely at the Japanese army's marching brigade.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and was in chaos.

The fighting power of the Japanese army is indeed not to be underestimated. After a period of panic, they immediately rushed towards the direction of the mortar firing.

What greeted them was the terrifying firepower of machine guns and submachine guns of the special forces, and the ordinary mortars carried by the special forces kept firing shells.

Immediately afterwards, the giant mortar adjusted its muzzle and continued to bombard the Japanese army.

The Japanese army couldn't bear such heavy casualties, and finally broke up and fled back towards the airport.

After the commander of the Japanese Third Air Force received the news that the airport had been destroyed, his face was full of horror and anger.

He immediately called Dongxiang Yoshino, the commander of the 12th Army. He didn't care that his rank was lower than that guy, and he cursed angrily as soon as he spoke.

Dongxiang Yoshino didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't advocate this matter, but Doihara personally arranged it.

Hearing the Commander of the Third Air Force accusing himself, he was filled with grievances and anger.

He was about to scold back, but the commander of the Third Air Force had already finished his anger and hung up the phone directly.

Dongxiang Yoshino was very angry and threw the phone in his hand to the ground.

He didn't dare to scold Doihara, so he called Terauchi Shouichi, just like the commander of the Third Air Force, he complained involuntarily, and hung up the phone without giving Terauchi Shouichi a chance to reply.

Terauchi Shouichi also couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't want to fight Gao Jiu at all, it was all forced by Doihara.

Although Dongxiang Yoshino scolded him, Terauchi Shouichi was a well-mannered person and knew what to do.

He sent someone to collect what happened, and sent the telegram to Doihara.

This incident itself is a slap in the face of Doihara, and there is no need for Terauchi Shou to say any more ugly words.

Doihara received a telegram from Terauchi Shouichi, and he was in a very bad mood. At this moment, the Minister of the Air Force called, and he was angrily reprimanded at Doihara, accusing him of ruining the Japanese Army's Third Air Force. Team.

Doihara was very angry. After all, he was a powerful person. Instead of shifting the responsibility to others, he was determined to take revenge on Gao Jiu.

He was going to fly to Shandong in person to command the offensive against Tai'an in Jinan City.

On the night when the Third Air Force airport was attacked, under the personal command of Li Xikun, the action team of the Jinan Station of the Military Command, used the giant mortar given to them by Gao Jiu, and fired at the headquarters of the Japanese Third Air Force. Several shells were fired.

The office building of the headquarters was blown up, and more than a dozen cars parked in the yard were blown up, causing casualties of more than 40 officers and soldiers.

Fortunately, the commander of the Third Air Force did not live in the headquarters compound, in fact, he did so on purpose.

He has figured it out now, it was because he sent a reconnaissance plane to Tai'an to conduct reconnaissance, and let Gao Jiu know that the third air force was going to fight against him, so he was retaliated against.

He was worried that Gao Jiu would retaliate strongly, so he didn't dare to stay in the headquarters compound.

Sure enough, Gao Jiu's revenge came so soon, the commander and chief of staff of the Third Air Force were terrified.

They were worried that Gao Jiu was following them. It was well known that Gao Jiu chased and killed Ayumi Hamasaki back then. They didn't want themselves to be the target of Gao Jiu's pursuit.

The commander of the Third Air Force thought of the grassroots officers and pilots who had been captured by the special high class, so he brought people to the Gendarmerie Command, found General Matsuda, and asked him to release them.

General Matsuda is a man who is dedicated to his duties, and of course he cannot succumb to the threat of the commander of the Third Air Force.

He told the commander of the Third Air Force that he had no right to this matter, and asked him to directly ask Dongxiang Yoshino, or Terauchi Shouichi or even Doihara, as long as any one of them agreed, he would release him .

The commander of the Third Air Force still respected General Matsuda, and he didn't want to continue to embarrass him, so he and the chief of staff came to the headquarters of the 12th Army aggressively and found Togo Yoshino.

He threatened that if those men were not brought back, the Third Air Force would never cooperate with the Twelfth Army in the future.

Dongxiang Yoshino was very angry, he really couldn't do without the support of the air force, so he sent the telegram directly to Doihara.

At this time, Doihara also believed that it was important to maintain the relationship with the Air Force. As for the ordinary Air Force officers and pilots, they were not important figures, and there was no need to lose the big because of small things, so he personally issued an order to let General Matsuda release the air force. people.

The commander of the Third Air Force brought back the captured subordinates, and comforted them with good words, hoping that they would come forward to find Gao Jiu to explain the misunderstanding.

News of the attack on the airfield and headquarters compound of the Japanese Third Air Force Jinan quickly reached the ears of the commander of the Japanese First Air Force in Beiping.He decided to learn from the lesson of the Third Air Force and not to go against Gao Jiu.

So, he found the Gendarmerie Headquarters in Beiping and asked Hamada Yoshito to release him.

Hamada Yoshito knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he didn't have so many scruples, so he directly ordered the release of the man.

The commander of the First Air Force also asked those officers who had secretly dealt with Gao Jiu to try to get in touch with Gao Jiu to eliminate the misunderstanding.

So far, the threat from the Japanese Air Force has basically been lifted.

Zhang Quan and others at the Binhe Bridge were very annoyed because they failed to blow up the Binhe Bridge, and decided to directly attack the Japanese Second Heavy Artillery Brigade to destroy all the enemy's heavy artillery.
