The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 936 Master Jiu Came to Rescue Us

At 4 o'clock in the morning, Captain Watanabe looked at his watch and saw that it was almost dawn, and he felt tired, so he decided to take a nap.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he was awakened by the sound of the explosion.He originally thought that the third battalion had launched another breakout operation. He was not too worried about this, because the troops under him had already been prepared and would definitely be able to continue to repel the third battalion's attack.

However, he soon felt that something was wrong, because the explosion was not coming from the direction of the county town, but from the rear of his troops.

The explosion was not loud, it seemed that there was only a grenade exploding, but the explosion of the grenade did not stop.

The sound of machine guns and rifles mixed with these explosions made him puzzled.

Not long after, the attached team came in and reported: "Your Excellency, our army has been attacked by the enemy. Since we can't see clearly at night, we can only judge the enemy's strength from the flashes of the enemy's guns. About one There were more than a hundred people, and their marksmanship was extremely accurate, and our officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties."

Captain Watanabe heard that the enemy only had more than a hundred people, and he didn't pay much attention. He said: "Order the troops to stand firm and not attack rashly, so as not to be ambushed by the enemy."

The regiment leader's approach was correct, he didn't know how many enemy troops were outside, and he had to wait until dawn to judge the enemy's situation before making a decision.

He firmly believed that as long as he held his position and tightly surrounded the third battalion in Baolin County, the enemy would have nothing to do, and those who attacked would definitely flee at dawn.

"Ha Yi." Lian Dui Fu agreed, and went out to convey the order.

The gunshots and explosions outside continued to sound, and after about 20 minutes, Lianlianfu ran back again.

He said with a dejected expression: "Your Excellency, Captain, the situation is very bad. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and we are almost unable to withstand it."

The captain of the regiment became a little annoyed, and he scolded: "Bageyalu, the enemy army outside is just a small army, our army has thousands of troops, what is there to worry about?"

Lian Xiangfu said: "Your Excellency, Captain, the enemy's marksmanship is too accurate. As long as our officers and soldiers shoot back, they will be sniped by enemy gunmen and suffer heavy casualties.

This is not the worst, the enemy kept throwing grenades into our army's position, and the soldiers of the Yellow Army didn't even know where the enemy's grenades came from.The most frightening thing is that the enemy's grenade was thrown very accurately, as if they had eyes. Where there are many officers and soldiers of our army, the grenade will explode there, and there is nowhere to hide.

The Sakamoto Brigade could no longer hold back. They suffered more than half of the casualties, and now they have retreated. "

"Eight pressure Lu, it's just nonsense, how is this possible? The enemy throws grenades, can't you throw grenades?" the regiment leader said angrily.

Lian Xiangfu said: "I said the same to Captain Sakamoto, but he said that they did the same thing. They thought that the enemy throwing grenades was nearby, so they also organized a group of soldiers to throw grenades forward. However, It had no effect at all. In order to eliminate the enemy troops throwing grenades, Captain Sakamoto also organized an infantry squad and rushed to a range of 50 meters from the front of the position, but still failed to find the enemy's bombers, but was hit by the enemy instead. The entire squad The whole army was wiped out."

Hearing this, the captain's expression became serious.

He remembered the relevant bulletin about Taohuashan guerrilla Gao Jiu that he had seen before. He knew that Gao Jiu could accurately throw grenades from a hundred meters away, and his special forces members had accurate marksmanship.

Based on the current situation and the fact that the superior had just reported that Gao Jiu might be active in this area, he now judged that the people who attacked them were probably Gao Jiu and his Taohuashan guerrillas.

Knowing that the situation was serious, he ordered the radio soldiers to report the situation here to his superiors, and at the same time ordered the troops to stand firm.He thought that as long as he persisted until dawn and had many troops under his command, even if Gao Jiu and his Taohuashan guerrillas really came, he would be able to deal with it.

Captain Watanabe's judgment was not wrong this time, and the people who attacked them were Gao Jiu and the brothers of the Taohuashan guerrillas.They are still adopting effective old tactics. Some special forces members lure the enemy in concealment, and some use sniper rifles to annihilate the enemy.

Gao Jiu still brought Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others to throw grenades at the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu threw a grenade while approaching the enemy's position.He threw the grenade at the figures of the Japanese soldiers he could see, and he found that these devils were really tenacious.Those guys hid in the trenches, and except for some of them retreating backwards, the rest refused to retreat.

Gao Jiu had no choice but to keep throwing grenades at them, and wiped out those devil soldiers one by one.

Gao Jiu threw more than 100 grenades in one breath, and soon the grenades brought by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were almost used up. Of course, Gao Jiu couldn't help this.

He killed the surrounding Japanese soldiers, and then entered the Japanese defensive position.There were dead devils everywhere, and many people had grenades on them, so they picked up the grenades from the devil soldiers and continued to bomb those devil soldiers.

The special forces also followed Gao Jiu and moved forward, gradually opening a big gap in the Japanese defensive position.

When Captain Watanabe heard the grenade explode, he knew that every explosion of a grenade would cause casualties to his officers and soldiers.

However, relying on the large number of people, he still gritted his teeth and persisted, hoping to persist until dawn.

It's a pity that Gao Jiu moved too fast, and the explosion of the grenade continued to ring out.Not only that, but it was getting closer and closer to him.

With a "boom", a grenade exploded less than 20 meters away from him, and the wounded devil soldiers screamed.

Immediately afterwards, another grenade flew over, and this grenade was closer to Captain Watanabe, less than 10 meters away.

Watanabe was really scared. He was very worried that the next grenade would fly over and kill him.He hastily retreated, and after running not far, a grenade exploded in the air, killing the winged team behind him on the spot.

A piece of shrapnel pierced into Watanabe's shoulder, and he couldn't help but groan out of the excruciating pain.

He couldn't bear it anymore, knowing that if this continued, he would not be able to last until dawn, and the entire alliance might die.

He could no longer care about the third battalion that surrounded the city, and after giving the order to retreat, he took the lead in fleeing.

Watanabe fled in such a panic that even the commander of the public security district on the other side of the county seat did not notify him.

Seeing that the devil soldiers had fled, Gao Jiu threw a few more grenades at them, driving them further away, and then led the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas to wipe out the injured devil soldiers who were still struggling , Completely lifted the siege of the devil soldiers on the east gate of Baolin County.

Guan Tieshan and others discovered in the city that the Japanese army outside the city had been attacked, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to break through.

However, they felt that the number of attackers was not large, and they couldn't see the situation outside clearly. In addition, they had injured a lot of people in the last breakout, and they couldn't organize forces to carry out the breakout operation for a while, so they kept observing from the top of the city. I want to figure out the situation before making a decision.

Gradually, they heard the gunfire outside the city stop.They knew that there were a large number of devil soldiers outside the city. It should be that the attackers had been repulsed by the devil soldiers. He was a little thankful that he hadn't organized a breakout operation hastily, otherwise he didn't know how many brothers from the third battalion would have been sacrificed Woolen cloth.

Suddenly a voice came, it was not loud, but Guan Tieshan and others could hear it clearly.

The voice outside the city shouted: "Mr. Huang, Battalion Commander Guan, I am Gao Jiu of Taohuashan. Those devils have already escaped. Do you hear clearly? If you hear clearly, use a torch to draw three circles on the top of the city." .”

Guan Tieshan recognized it, it was really Gao Jiu's voice.

He said excitedly: "Brothers, it's Gao Jiuye and the others who came to rescue us, hurry up! Get the torch quickly."

Guan Tieshan took the torch from a guerrilla, stood on the top of the city, and drew three circles shaking it.

Gao Jiu said, "We're going to pass now, let's open the city gate."

Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui ran down the city, ordered the guerrillas to open the city gate, and went to the gate to meet Gao Jiu and others.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas came over.

Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan hurried forward to meet him. Guan Tieshan stretched out his hands excitedly, held Gao Jiu's hand, and said, "Master Jiu, thank you so much. You and the brothers from Taohuashan once again saved our third battalion. , I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Huang Rui looked around, and asked with some doubts, "Where are those devils outside the city?"

Wang Zhankui laughed and said, "Half of the little devils died, and the rest escaped."

Huang Rui said in disbelief: "There are thousands of devils outside the city, are they really beaten away by you?"

Wang Zhankui said: "You should send people to look outside. There are a lot of dead devils there, and there are a lot of weapons and ammunition left behind. Send your people to get them back."

Guan Tieshan said excitedly: "Jiuye, the third master, you are really amazing." After he finished speaking, he ordered one of his captains to take people out to search for the weapons and ammunition left by the devil soldiers.

Gao Jiu said: "Battlemaster Guan, this is not a place to stay for a long time. If the devils send planes to bomb after dawn, the losses will be great. While the current encirclement of the Japanese army is broken, quickly lead the troops to break through."

Guan Tieshan originally planned this way, of course he has no objection.Huang Rui also realized now that his view was wrong, and he also agreed to break through immediately.

Gao Jiu said that he would take the Taohuashan guerrillas to attack the Japanese army at the west gate now, and let Guan Tieshan and others lead the third battalion to wait until the battle outside the city started, open the city gate and fight out, and wipe out the Japanese army outside the west gate.

Both Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui agreed with Gao Jiu's opinion, and they immediately entered the city to organize troops to break through.

Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui led the Taohuashan guerrillas to detour to the west gate of the city to attack the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu and the others arrived at the west gate of the city, only to find that they were one step too late, and the devils had already withdrawn.

It turned out that the commander of the Binjiang Public Security District heard the fierce fighting at the east gate of the city, and thought it was the third battalion who launched a breakout operation.He had an agreement with Captain Watanabe that no matter which side had a problem, the other side must stick to its position, so as not to fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, he also stood still and was ready to prevent the enemy from breaking through at any time.

When the gunfire in the east of the city gradually subsided, he sent someone to check the situation, only to find that Watanabe's unit had fled.The commander of the public security area is not a fool either. While scolding Watanabe for being unjust, he also fled with his men in a panic.

The Japanese army withdrew, and the old third battalion could evacuate calmly.With a large amount of weapons and ammunition seized, as well as food, cloth and other materials collected in the city, they began to move towards the mountains and forests.

Gao Jiu and the others were in charge of covering behind.After a day and night of marching, the troops of the third battalion came to some villages near the mountains and settled down.

Guan Tieshan has long-term experience in guerrilla warfare. He sent people to separate part of the food and other materials and transport them to the secret camp in the mountains, making preparations for the entire third battalion to withdraw into the mountains in case of a large-scale attack by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui reorganized the old third battalion. At this time, some of the recruits who followed them to the mountain area died in battle, and some left the army. Now there are more than [-] people who came to the mountain area , although the number of people has decreased, it is also a good thing.Those who were not strong-willed left, and those who remained were leaner.

Gao Jiu asked Guan Tieshan and others to take the time to train the troops, and the Taohuashan tour team was responsible for the surrounding security.They have to wait here until the troops from the Third Army Division of Eastern Jidong arrive.

Captain Watanabe fled to Binjiang County with the remnants of the defeated generals, and reported to his superiors the situation of fighting against the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Fengtian City, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

After receiving the report, the commander of the Kwantung Army said with a solemn expression: "As expected, we guessed correctly, Gao Jiu really came outside the pass, and now he is instigating those anti-Japanese elements to sabotage, and the security situation in the Binjiang security zone has seriously deteriorated. "

The chief of staff sighed, and said: "What should come will come after all. We rejected Gao Jiu, and it was expected that he would come to take revenge. Fortunately, Gao Jiu is only tossing around in the mountains at present, and it will not affect here for the time being. , if the anti-Japanese elements are allowed to develop and grow in the Binjiang area, they may spread to other security areas, and we must send a large army to wipe them out."

The commander said: "Gao Jiu came to the outside of the pass and joined the anti-Japanese elements outside the pass. It is actually a good thing. At least we can track his whereabouts, and it will be easier to mobilize the army to encircle and suppress them. You should notify them now and call them immediately." Battle meeting."

On the one hand, Gao Jiu sent special forces to help the third battalion train the troops, and on the other hand, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army did not come to attack, he continued to attack the group tribes, bringing a thousand recruits each time.
