Chapter 825
After receiving a telegram from the person in charge of the underground party and Gao Hong and others, Gao Jiu felt a little strange. Why did the Japanese army suddenly become so powerful?Moreover, he is very familiar with the tactics of the Japanese army. This kind of deception trick was often used by Hamada Yoshihito before.

Gao Jiu didn't understand that this guy was full and full, and suddenly appeared again to make trouble.

Gao Jiu knew Hamada Yoshizhi very well, and knew that he would not come to trouble him for no reason, not to mention that they had reached a certain kind of tacit understanding before, if there was no special reason, Hamada Yoshizhi would not act against him of.

There must be a reason for Hamada Yoshihito's sudden move, that is, someone forced him to do so. This person must have a high status, and Hamada Yoshihito did not hesitate to tear himself apart to carry out his order.

Gao Jiu thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out who this person was, but he guessed that it must not be Shuichi Siuichi, because Shuichi Siuchi also had some kind of tacit understanding with him.It should be Tu Feiyuan, this guy can do this regardless of his status or his hatred with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu decided in his heart that it was Tu Feiyuan, and thought it was normal.For Tu Feiyuan, Gao Jiu didn't have much fear. This guy was a spy, and he was average in military strategy and tactics.

As for the tricks that Hamada Yoshito used, to Gao Jiu, it was nothing special. Hamada Yoshito had been beaten to shame every time before.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the head of the underground party and Gao Hong and others, telling them to stand firm and wait for help, and he immediately sent troops to reinforce them.

Zhang Quan took the initiative to invite Ying, and Gao Jiu agreed to his request.

Zhang Quan took Du Shengxi, Li Chengwu and 500 Taohuashan guerrillas to Tai'an City.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, and Wang Jindong agreed to dispatch a division of troops to Tai'an City to participate in the Tai'an defense battle on the part of the underground party.

Gao Jiu gave an order to the air force to bomb the Japanese troops on the front line of Tai'an.

The Taohuashan air force took off from the airport in Zhiyuan County. This time, a total of [-] bombers and [-] fighters were dispatched.

Although Gao Jiu believed that the Japanese Third Air Force would not dispatch fighter jets to intercept, Gao Jiu had always been cautious in doing things. Every time the bombers were dispatched, they would send fighter jets to escort them.

Gao Jiu's premonition of the coming danger is always accurate, but for some reason, this time he felt a little uneasy.

When Zhang Quan and others set off, he repeatedly emphasized that the radio should be turned on at all times, and that any disturbances should be reported to him immediately.

Gao Jiu's premonition really came true. When the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas flew to Tai'an, they were suddenly attacked by 24 fighter jets from the Japanese Third Air Force.

The fighters of the Taohuashan guerrillas immediately stepped forward to fight the Japanese fighters and cover the evacuation of the bombers.

After a fierce air battle, the guerrilla air force suffered heavy losses, with nine bombers shot down and five fighters lost.

Such a loss was unprecedented for the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas.

Gao Jiu judged that the tactical methods adopted by this unknown opponent were not limited to these, he must have other tricks against the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Thinking of this, Gao Jiu immediately sent a telegram to Zhang Quan, telling them to stop advancing immediately, go directly into the mountainous area, and act after ascertaining the enemy's situation.

After Zhang Quan and others left Taohua Shanzhai, they first arrived at Taoyuan Town, and then went south on the Pingtai Highway.

They were marching when they received a telegram from Gao Jiu.

Although Zhang Quan and the others felt a little strange, they believed in Gao Jiu, and immediately gave up the car and entered the mountains on both sides of the road.

At this moment, the leading guerrilla soldiers who were in charge of searching ahead found that there was an enemy ambushing ahead, so they immediately fired a shot to call the police.

Zhang Quan and others soon saw the Japanese troops of the brigade appear on the hills on both sides of the road ahead, rushing towards Zhang Quan and others.

Zhang Quan and the guerrillas were very familiar with the terrain of Taohua Mountain.

They saw that the enemy soldiers were numerous and powerful, so they used the familiar terrain to fight and retreat, and soon got rid of the enemy's pursuit, and then sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu's judgment was confirmed, and he realized that he was careless. The biggest change must have taken place in the Japanese army. He guessed that there were experts in the Japanese army.

This aroused Gao Jiu's fighting spirit, he hadn't felt like meeting his opponent for a long time.

Gao Jiu is very talented, the more critical the moment is, the calmer his mind becomes.He carefully analyzed and judged the situation. He believed that the enemy's action this time was by no means a single action by the Japanese army in Shandong, but that the entire North China Front Army was playing a big game of chess.

He immediately sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, asking them to take back the troops of the division they sent for reinforcements, reminding them to guard against the Japanese army's massive attack.

Gao Jiu was not wrong in his judgment on this point. Wang Jindong quickly sent a telegram saying that the troops of the Japanese Seventh Army were attacking Luoyang and Zhengzhou.

Gao Jiu believed that the Japanese Seventh Army's attack in the direction of Luoyang and Zhengzhou in the direction of Henan was an auxiliary function, the purpose was to contain the 41st Corps, and it could not rescue the underground party troops in the direction of Tai'an.

Therefore, he is relatively reassured about the direction of Henan.

The biggest problem now is how to rescue the troops of the underground Lunan Military Region stationed in the direction of Tai'an.

After serious consideration, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the underground party, asking them to persist for 72 hours, and he would definitely lead the reinforcements to arrive by then.

Afterwards, he sent a telegram to Zhang Quan, and then led Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming and others to leave Taohua Mountain and head for Taoyuan Town.

Gao Jiu's judgment was basically accurate. Dohi Yuan, Terauchi Shouichi, the new commander of the North China Front Army, and Hamada Yoshito jointly formulated a battle plan. The core of the plan was to reoccupy Tai'an City and open up the Jinpu Railway.

When formulating this plan, Hamada Yoshito brought out his old tactics of concealing the sky and running from a distance, which won the appreciation of Dohi Madoka and others.

According to Hamada Yoshito's opinion, the new commander made further revisions, and after the approval of Doi Yuan and Terauchi Shouichi, a comprehensive battle plan was formulated.

The new commander once served as the commander of the No.11 Army of the Central China Front Army. The third division is the main force of the No.11 army. The troops launched a surprise attack, successfully captured Zaozhuang, and then invaded Tai'an.

Madoka Dohi, Shouichi Terauchi, the new commander, and Yoshito Hamada flew to Jinan City, set up a command organization at the headquarters of the 12th Army, and personally directed the Tai'an campaign.

Yoshito Hamada is very familiar with Gao Jiu. He thinks that Gao Jiu will definitely send an air force to support the underground party's operations. The Japanese Third Air Force will not send planes to intercept him. The Third Air Force joins operations in the direction of Tai'an.

At the same time as the battle of Tai'an started, Madoka Dohi personally led a guard brought from Peiping to the Japanese Third Air Force.

He had already communicated with the Ministry of the Air Force in advance and obtained the authorization from the Ministry of the Air Force to command the Third Air Force.

Under his supervision, the commander of the Japanese Third Air Force had no choice but to send fighter jets to intercept the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Now that Gao Jiu has already torn face off, they no longer care about other things. After repelling the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas, they sent bombers to bomb the troops of the underground Lunan Military Region on the front line of Tai'an. The anti-Japanese armed forces in the Southern Military Region caused heavy losses.

Yoshito Hamada judged that after the battle of Tai'an started, Gao Jiu would definitely send ground troops to Tai'an City for reinforcements. There was a high possibility that Gao Jiu would go out in person.

Therefore, they dispatched an infantry unit of the 141st Division of the Japanese Army to set up an ambush on the Pingtai Highway to ambush Gao Jiu and others.

Thanks to Gao Jiu's reminder, Zhang Quan and others did not enter the Japanese ambush circle.

After Zhang Quan and others received Gao Jiu's telegram, they immediately stopped their retreat to Taohua Shanzhai and returned to the mountains to start guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army.

The Taohuashan guerrillas started out as guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and they were familiar with the terrain of the Taohuashan Mountains. Although there were only 500 people, they beat an infantry regiment of the Japanese army into a mess.

At the beginning, the Japanese army's joint captain made up his mind to eliminate the Taohuashan guerrillas in front.

As the battle progressed, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties. The more he fought, the less confident he was. Later, he started to retreat, hoping to leave the battlefield and go to Tai'an to join the Japanese 142nd Division.

Zhang Quan, Du Shengxi, Li Chengwu and others saw that the Japanese army wanted to run away, and each of them led some guerrillas to follow the Japanese army to attack, entangled them tightly, and waited for the Taohuashan guerrillas led by Gao Jiu to arrive.

After Gao Jiu and the others arrived in Taoyuan Town, they immediately headed towards Pingtai Highway.They kept in touch with Zhang Quan and surrounded the Japanese army who were fighting fiercely with Zhang Quan and others.

Since the Japanese army dared to enter Taohuashan, Gao Jiu must keep them.

Some of Gao Jiu and others rode cars, some rode horses, and soon came to the Pingtai Highway.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu were in charge of reconnaissance in front, and they found many Japanese vehicles parked on the road.The infantry unit of the Japanese army used these vehicles to set up an ambush.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu had a special warfare squadron. They attacked the Japanese army without waiting for Gao Jiu and others to arrive, and quickly ate an infantry squad of the Japanese army guarding the vehicle.

The Japanese army lost these vehicles, and it was completely impossible to evacuate quickly.

Gao Jiu and others rushed to the road, and according to the position of the Japanese army provided by Zhang Quan, they commanded the Taohuashan guerrillas and outflanked the Japanese army's rear.

At this moment, the regiment leader of the Japanese army is leading the troops to fight fiercely with Zhang Quan and others. Although these guys are infantry, they usually ride in vehicles when they go out, which makes them strenuous on long-distance marches. up.

For the guerrillas under Zhang Quan, mountain climbing is their compulsory subject during training, and they are as flexible as apes on the mountain.

Their marksmanship was accurate and their firepower was powerful, which made the Japanese army exhausted.

Zhang Quan and others also carried 240mm heavy mortars. After a few shots, the Japanese army on a hill was basically killed or injured.The Japanese army could not bear such a blow at all, and was beaten back steadily.

The Japanese regiment leader had already lost the confidence to wipe out the Taohuashan guerrillas. The only thing he wanted to do now was to run to the road and get in a car to escape for his life.

As they approached the road, the Taohuashan guerrillas appeared on the surrounding hills, and various types of machine guns and mortars kept hitting them, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army.

Knowing that he had been surrounded by the Taohuashan guerrillas, the Japanese captain became extremely depressed.

When he received the order to come to Peach Blossom Mountain to set up an ambush, he felt terrified.The Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas had a great reputation, and if they encountered Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas in other places, they would only be beaten. Asking him to bring the troops to the guerrilla's lair would simply be death.

He didn't dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, gritted his teeth, and led the troops to carry out this ambush mission. The final result was just as he expected, and he suffered a disastrous defeat.

The captain of the Japanese army knew Gao Jiu's characteristics. He saw that his men suffered heavy casualties, and if he continued to fight, the whole army would be wiped out, so he raised the white flag and surrendered to Gao Jiu.

To be honest, if the Japanese army dared to come to Peach Blossom Mountain in normal times, Gao Jiu would definitely wipe them out and teach the Japanese a hard lesson so that they would not dare to set foot on Peach Blossom Mountain again.

But this time was different, Gao Jiu didn't have so much time, so he accepted the surrender of the Japanese army.

This time Gao Jiu didn't release them immediately, because these guys could join the Japanese army and go into battle immediately after returning.Gao Jiu decided to imprison them temporarily and release them after the Tai'an campaign was over.

After annihilating the enemy army that invaded Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu asked Zhang Quan and others to continue to Tai'an City to assist Gao Hong, the leader of the underground party, and others in fighting.

Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others led 800 Taohuashan guerrillas to Jinan City.

To win the Battle of Tai'an, the threat of the Japanese Air Force must first be eliminated.

The first target Gao Jiu set was on the Japanese Third Air Force.

Hamada Yoshito's excellent performance won the appreciation of Doi Yuan and the new commander.

The new commander believed that Yoshito Hamada was really talented, and he needed such an assistant. Therefore, he consulted Shouichi Terauchi and obtained the approval of Yuan Doi. Lieutenant General of the Army.

Hamada Yoshito received this appointment with mixed feelings in his heart.It is said that promotion is a dream of soldiers, but Hamada Yoshito did not feel joy at all, but felt scared.

The reason why he worked so hard to make suggestions was because Terauchi Shouichi agreed to transfer him back to Japan to serve as the deputy director of the School Affairs Department of Tokyo National University.He didn't want to stay in the North China Front Army and continue to face that terrifying Gao Jiu.
