The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 812

In order to vent his anger, Gao Jiu personally directed the team members to use those 240mm heavy mortars to bombard the area controlled by the puppet army from east to west.

Wang Jindong watched how Gao Jiu and his Taohuashan guerrillas grew up back then. At that time, they lacked everything, and he had provided them with a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Look at the face of a nouveau riche now.

In this battle, the ammunition, aviation fuel and other expenses consumed are enough to fight ten battles even for a first-level unit of the Guojun Army.

Looking at the hellish scene on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the new 187th Army were deeply grateful that they were not those puppet troops.

After this round of bombardment, there was basically no movement on the puppet army's position.

Wang Jindong saw that the puppet army had no ability to resist. In order to train his troops, he asked Gao Jiu's opinion, and then commanded his troops to attack the puppet army.

Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui and others, as well as the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas, were eager to avenge their dead brothers. They also rushed up with Wang Jindong's troops.

The battle was over soon after.This battle wiped out more than [-] people from the Second Division of the Puppet Army, which can be regarded as a big victory.The only regret is that Cui Mingjiu's life was good, he was killed in the bombardment just now, otherwise, he would have been cut to pieces by the guerrillas in Taohuashan.

Looking at the messy battlefield, everyone was cheering for victory, but Gao Jiu stood there thinking about it.

He asked people to take a lot of photos of the situation on the entire battlefield, especially Cui Mingjiu's mutilated corpse.

Not long after, after receiving Gao Jiu's order, the Taohuashan Air Force dispatched bombers to the other divisions of the puppet army that participated in the Luoyang Battle.

Over the camp of the First Division of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army, a Japanese Type [-] bomber flew over.

Instead of dropping a bomb, the bomber dropped a large number of photos from above, as well as a package.

Those photos fluttered in the air like snowflakes, slowly falling down.

The puppet soldiers were very curious and picked up the photos on the ground one after another, wanting to find out.

The first to pick up the photo was a squad leader of the puppet army. After seeing the picture on the photo, he screamed and threw the photo out like avoiding the plague.

After viewing the photos, many officers and soldiers behaved similarly to the squad leader, all looking terrified.

The commander of the First Division saw that although the person in the photo had been bombed to pieces, his face had been cleaned and a close-up was taken.

He is very familiar with this person. When the group army holds combat meetings, he often meets him. It is Cui Mingjiu who looks like a bandit.Relying on the favor of the Japanese, this guy was arrogant and arrogant, and he didn't expect this to end up like this.

At this time, someone had already opened the package thrown from the plane. Inside the package was a box with only a letter.

The chief of staff first picked up the letter and looked at it, and said with a look of horror: "Master, this is a letter from Taohuashan Gaojiu."

In the letter, Gao Jiu briefly described the cause and effect of the annihilation of Cui Mingjiu's troops, and warned the puppet soldiers that if they dared to take another step towards Luoyang, Cui Mingjiu's end would be their example.

The commander of the [-]st Division and other senior officers, faced with this situation, the first thing they felt was not anger.Although these were all puppet soldiers, it is reasonable to say that they should feel sorry for each other and feel angry.It's a pity that anger is conditional, that is, you have the ability to retaliate with an eye for an eye, blood for blood.

The puppet soldiers don't have this ability, and the Japanese devils are no match for the Taohuashan guerrillas.So everyone felt fear.

The commander of the first division did not need to discuss with others, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat 30km to the rear.They retreated with great fanfare, for fear that Gao Jiu would not get the news of their retreat.

In order to deter all the puppet troops, Gao Jiu sent a clear-coded telegram, which said that the Taohuashan guerrillas were attacked by the second division of the puppet army, and 11 members were killed.

In order to avenge them, the entire second division of the puppet army has been wiped out, including the division commander Cui Mingjiu, and there is no one left alive in the whole division.

He warned those puppet soldiers that if they dared to be an enemy of the Taohuashan guerrillas, what happened to Cui Mingjiu and others was their example.

Since Gao Jiu went to Peach Blossom Mountain, he didn't attack the puppet army very much, but tried his best to win them over, and he made great achievements in this regard.

Wang Zhankui was from the puppet army, and Liu Shengyu was also from the puppet army. He also instigated the rebellion of the 69th Division of the puppet army in Hebei, and now he has been incorporated into the troops of Commander Song of the [-]th Army in Nanyang City.

Wei Liming, commander of the third division of the puppet army in Shandong, and Zhao Wannian, commander of the fourth division, both secretly helped Gao Jiu to fight against Japan.

He did this in the hope of winning more puppet troops to join the anti-Japanese cause, so he used to focus on the Japanese army.

The situation is different now. The puppet army has destroyed the anti-Japanese cause no less than the Japanese army. Especially the loss Cui Mingjiu caused to the Taohuashan guerrillas this time made Gao Jiu completely change his mind.

In the near future, he planned to focus on attacking the puppet army, so Gao Jiu did not hesitate to completely annihilate Cui Mingjiu's troops.

This time, when Cui Mingjiu's troops were annihilated, the Taohuashan guerrillas and the newly organized 187th Division took full advantage of their firepower. It took less than three hours from the start of the battle to the end of the battle. The nearly 1 people in the division did not leave a single person alive. The blow made all the puppet troops feel terrified.

Gao Jiu's clear-coded telegram greatly frightened the puppet soldiers. They originally wanted to rely on their numbers to attack Luoyang City, but now they are all reluctant to move forward. No one wants to end up like Cui Mingjiu.

Gao Jiu decided to continue to attack the puppet army, beating them into fear at one time.

Gao Jiu and Wang Jindong led the brigade to continue marching north.

He sent a letter to the head of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army in advance, asking them to get out of the way.

The head of the 38th Division cooperated very well and moved his defense area 20km westward.

Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas and troops from the 187th Division passed through the defense zone of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army and suddenly surrounded the headquarters of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army stationed in Lincheng.

The commander of the Sixth Group Army of the Puppet Army originally thought that his defense zone was close to the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, so he could sit back and relax. Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu, Wang Jindong and others led the brigade to pass through the Japanese defense zone without a sound. He was caught off guard.

At this time, the military headquarters of the Sixth Army only had a few units directly under it, and the total strength was less than [-]. After realizing that they were surrounded, they fell into panic and hurriedly sent a telegram to the commander of the Japanese Seventh Army for help.

The commander of the Seventh Army had already learned about the annihilation of Cui Mingjiu's troops from the 39th Division. He knew that even the Japanese army could not withstand Gao Jiu's fierce firepower. Zhengzhou City and Luoyang City are just for show, and the puppet army is cannon fodder.

He is not willing to send his troops to rescue these puppet troops.

On the one hand, he quietly informed the various departments of the Japanese army to ignore the Puppet Army's Sixth Army's request for help. On the other hand, in order to force the puppet army to work for him, he sent a telegram to the Sixth Army, promising the puppet army that reinforcements would be sent immediately so that they could hold on. waiting for help.

He hoped that these puppet soldiers would fight to the death with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas, so as to consume Gao Jiu's vitality.

Gao Jiu and others rushed to Lincheng, where the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army was stationed, and first cleared out the puppet troops on the periphery.

During the battle, the guerrillas captured a battalion commander of the puppet army. Gao Jiu personally interrogated the battalion commander, let him into the city, and handed over a letter he wrote to the commander of the puppet army's Sixth Army. Ma Zhenye.

Gao Jiu said in the letter: "Commander Ma, you already know the situation very well, as long as I am willing, I can take Lincheng in an hour and wipe out all the troops in your city.

Now I give you two options, one is to uprising on the spot and join the Guojun army, which can give you an army structure and be incorporated into the 41st Corps of the Guojun; the other is to resist stubbornly and be completely wiped out.

I will give you one hour to make a decision now, and when the time is up, our department will immediately start attacking the city. "

If someone else said that in the letter, Ma Zhenye would think he was very arrogant, but Gao Jiu was different, Ma Zhenye knew that Gao Jiu was absolutely sure of this.

Apart from the two paths Gao Jiu pointed out, there was no room for him to choose.

Ma Zhenye immediately called the chief of staff and other cronies to discuss.

Everyone has heard about Cui Mingjiu's fate, and they already know that the Japanese army has abandoned them. Otherwise, Gao Jiu's anti-Japanese armed forces would never have passed through the Japanese army's defense zone.

The chief of staff had the intention of defecting to the Guo army. He said: "Commander, this battle must not be fought. The conditions offered by Gao Jiu are still good. I suggest that we revolt on the battlefield."

Ma Zhenye was a little hesitant. He said: "There is no problem with what you said, but now our family members are in the Japanese-occupied area. If we join the Guo army, they will definitely be implicated."

As soon as he said this, the officers nodded frequently, and they all had concerns in this regard.

The chief of staff said: "How about we surrender? Give the troops to Gao Jiu and the others, and you will leave the army. My family members are not in the Japanese-occupied area, so I have no worries, so I took my brothers to join the Guojun."

Time was running out, and there was nothing to discuss, so Ma Zhenye agreed with the chief of staff.

He said: "That's how it is. Everyone chooses. If you are willing to leave the army, those who go back will follow me; those who are willing to join the Guojun army will follow the chief of staff."

Seeing that Ma Zhenye had made up his mind, the chief of staff immediately called the battalion commander who delivered the letter and asked him to accompany him out of the city to meet Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu and Wang Jindong met with the Chief of Staff of the Sixth Army and listened to his explanation of their visit.

The reason why Gao Jiu wanted the puppet army to abandon the dark and turn to the bright was to let them set an example for other puppet troops, not only to make the puppet army feel that there was a way out, but also to force them to surrender to the anti-Japanese armed forces. The suspicion of the puppet army is more conducive to disintegrating the enemy army.

For Gao Jiu, as long as the Sixth Army is willing to surrender, it doesn't matter to him whether the army is led by Ma Zhenye or Niu Zhenye.

Gao Jiu agreed to the chief of staff's request and asked him to go back and bring the troops out.

Soon after, the puppet army in the city drove out of the city and lined up outside the city.In order to show that they were a real battlefield uprising, they also disarmed all the Japanese gendarmerie in the city and escorted them out.

After Gao Jiu had a brief conversation with Ma Zhenye and the others, he let them go.

Gao Jiu and Wang Jindong hosted a banquet for the chief of staff and other senior officers who stayed behind, talked about their future arrangements, and asked them to try to get other puppet troops under the Sixth Army to surrender to the Guo army.

The chief of staff was still very influential in the Sixth Army. Through his efforts, he persuaded a complete division of the puppet army and two regiments of another division to join the 41st Corps.

Gao Jiu's move made the Japanese army panic.

Terauchi Shouichi also felt that Gao Jiu had gone too far. After being teased by him like this, the distrust between the Japanese army and the puppet army became even more serious.

In order to prevent other generals of the puppet army from betraying the Japanese army, all departments of the North China Front Army have strengthened the monitoring of the puppet army, and stationed Japanese troops of different sizes in each puppet army unit for supervision, which further deepened the dissatisfaction of the puppet army against the Japanese army .

However, the measures taken by Terauchi Shouichi and others still played a big role, reducing the risk of the puppet army's mutiny to a certain extent.

For such a result, Gao Jiu is of course dissatisfied.Therefore, he formulated another plan to deepen the contradiction between the Japanese and the puppets.

The Chief of Staff of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army is Tang Jingchen. After he led his troops to join the 41st Corps, the Guofu government gave him the designation of the new 121st Army. There is only one division plus two regiments, and in the process of joining the Guojun, many of these troops also left the army. The rest of them only have more than 6000 people, and they cannot support one The airs of the army come.

Therefore, he hopes to instigate another part of the puppet army to enrich his team.

Gao Jiu was hoping that he would do this, and the two hit it off immediately, so they came up with other puppet troops.

After the commander of the Sixth Army and his senior officers were let go, they knew that they would not be able to do business with the Japanese, so they all chose to leave the military, and prepared to rely on their previous accumulated wealth to become a rich man. .

It is a pity that the Japanese were very angry that they had ruined the Sixth Army. Except for a few people who were very smart, they did not go home at all. They directly sent people to pick up their families quietly and fled to other places.

The commander and others were all arrested by the Japanese army, put in prison, and all their property was confiscated, in order to warn those puppet soldiers who refused to serve the Japanese wholeheartedly.
