The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 937
Gao Jiu let these recruits get practical training in combat, and cultivated a group of combat backbones for the third battalion.

As the group tribes were breached one by one and more people were rescued, Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui learned from previous experience and no longer blindly expanded their troops. Orion and other people with combat experience will look for opportunities to expand their troops in the future after the troops have truly formed combat effectiveness.

Gao Jiu, Guan Tieshan and the others knew that the Japanese aggressors were powerful outside the pass, and their counterattack would be very crazy, so they made preparations for long-term persistence.

Every time they set up a Japanese puppet stronghold or a group tribe, they transported a large amount of supplies into the mountains, established many secret camps in hidden places in the mountains, and were ready to withdraw into the deep mountains to deal with the Japanese invaders at any time.

Captain Watanabe fled Baolin County with the remnants of the defeated generals. Now that he knew how powerful Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas were, he didn't even dare to stay in Binjiang County and returned to his original station.

The head of the 80th Division of the Japanese Army heard that Captain Watanabe had returned, and immediately sent someone to call him to the division headquarters to inquire about the battle against the third battalion.

The head of the division had also heard of Gao Jiu's reputation. He listened carefully to the battle between Captain Watanabe and Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas, and kept asking for details.

When he heard that the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas had less than 200 people, he didn't blame Captain Watanabe. A regiment with thousands of troops couldn't deal with Gao Jiu.Instead, he paid more attention to Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The head of the division is a cautious person. Although there are constant bad news from the Binjiang Public Security District, saying that the troops of the third battalion are constantly attacking the city and conquering the territory there, and the local Japanese and puppet grassroots organizations have basically been destroyed, but he is not in a hurry He sent troops to attack the third battalion, because he was not sure that he could deal with Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Therefore, when he received an order from the Kwantung Army Command to send troops to attack the third battalion, he not only did not send troops, but instead set off to Fengtian and asked to see the commander of the Kwantung Army.

Sasaki, the commander of the 80th Division, is the brother-in-law of the commander of the Kwantung Army, and he climbed to his current position relying on the power of the commander of the Kwantung Army.

When the commander saw him, he asked, "Why don't you go and wipe out the anti-Japanese elements, what are you doing in Fengtian?"

Sasaki said: "Brother-in-law, the gangster Gao Jiu from Guannei may really be in the Binjiang area. My Watanabe unit is still very powerful, but they are facing more than 100 people under Gao Jiu. I lost nearly half of it. You asked me to play Gao Ninth, if I failed, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

The commander asked, "Are you sure Gao Jiu is inside?"

Sasaki said affirmatively: "About Gao Jiu, I have collected relevant information about him, he can throw grenades from a long distance, and he can also see enemy targets at night.

The reason why the Watanabe United suffered heavy losses was because they could not see the enemy at night, but were thrown by the enemy's grenades and caused great casualties.It can be said that most of the soldiers of the yellow army who were broken by jade were killed by Gao Jiu alone.With this terrifying ability, besides Gao Jiu, is there anyone else? "

Hearing this, the commander frowned tightly.

Sasaki continued: "Brother-in-law, if that is really Gao Jiu, I am really not sure if you ask my 80th Division to fight Gao Jiu. If it fails, wouldn't that be a discredit to you?

Dissatisfied with you, the disastrous defeat of the Watanabe Regiment has caused great panic among the officers and soldiers of my entire division. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the entire division, and the possibility of failure is extremely high. "

The commander nodded slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Sasaki said: "Gao Jiu is currently in the Binjiang area, where there are still anti-Japanese elements known as the third battalion. Recently, they have expanded to tens of thousands of horses. I have no confidence in destroying them with a single division. I hope my brother-in-law can send a large army to join us. The divisions act together.

As long as we have enough troops, Gao Jiu can get rid of him even if he has three heads and six arms. "

The commander understands that his brother-in-law is unwilling to deal with Gao Jiu alone, and is afraid of taking responsibility for the defeat. If he can send other troops to fight with him, even if something goes wrong, he can find someone to take the blame.

Although the commander felt that his brother-in-law was a bit useless, he also thought that what this guy said made sense.After all, he is his brother-in-law, if he is really defeated, his face will not look good.It's another matter if someone is scapegoating.

He said: "Okay then. You will stay here temporarily and I will inform you after I discuss it with the chief of staff. But in the meantime, order your troops to strengthen their defenses so as not to cause major losses. Do you understand? "

Sasaki said happily: "Thank you brother-in-law for your care. I understand."

Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan guerrillas and a part of the anti-Japanese fighters of the Old Third Battalion to launch continuous attacks on the Japanese army, which dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army.

They captured many group tribes and wiped out the Japanese and puppet grassroots organizations in various places. In a short period of time, the so-called Binjiang security area of ​​the Japanese army basically became the world of the third battalion.

When Gao Jiu was fighting, of course he would not forget to send scouts to monitor the actions of the Japanese troops everywhere.As a result, Gao Jiu saw that the 80th Division of the Japanese Army in the local garrison had only reduced its strength and did not send troops out to fight. This phenomenon also aroused his vigilance.

The Kwantung Army of the Japanese army is very proud, especially in this place outside the pass. Their military strength is huge. If there is no special reason, it is impossible for them to sit idly by and ignore the development of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

The only explanation was that they were apprehensive, and the reason for their apprehension should be that they had already found out that they and the Taohuashan guerrillas were operating in the Binjiang area. They were afraid of heavy losses, so they did not dare to rush out.

Gao Jiu thought that the Japanese army could not be so honest, they must be planning some kind of conspiracy.He communicated his thoughts with Wang Zhankui, Guan Tieshan, Huang Rui and others, and everyone agreed that the Japanese army must have some kind of plot. The reason why they did not dispatch for the time being must be to accumulate strength and then counterattack aggressively.

It is conceivable that the enemy's counterattack will be very violent, and the current strength of the old third battalion may be difficult to resist.

Everyone regards Gao Jiu as the backbone, and everyone expresses to listen to Gao Jiu's opinion on how to deal with it next.

Gao Jiu put forward four suggestions.

First of all, it is necessary to take advantage of the gap when the Japanese and puppet troops do not have a large-scale attack. The old third battalion organizes the local people to completely destroy the group tribes that can be destroyed, making it more difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to rebuild the group tribes.

Secondly, move the large troops to the mountains now, establish secret training bases in the mountains, strengthen the training of recruits, and strengthen the mutual integration of the troops.

Thirdly, organize effective troops to follow the Taohuashan guerrillas to continue to attack the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops, seize weapons and ammunition, and collect supplies.

Finally, adjust the combat deployment according to the situation after the large-scale attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Both Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui had no objections, and immediately began to deploy according to Gao Jiu's request.

On this day, Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan guerrillas and 1000 officers and soldiers from the third battalion to Binjiang County.

Gao Jiu commanded the troops to set up an ambush, and then the third battalion sent a company of more than 100 people to attack Binjiang County.

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion came to the vicinity of the county seat and began to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall.

After the commander of the Binjiang Public Security District fled back to Binjiang County last time, he wanted to keep the Watanabe unit to stick here with them, but Watanabe ignored him at all and fled with the troops.

The commander also wants to escape here, but he is the commander of the security zone, if he escapes from the defense zone without authorization, he will definitely be sent to a military court.He was very helpless, so he had to shrink all the Japanese and puppet troops who could command in the public security area to Binjiang County, and then forced the people in the city to help them strengthen the city defense, ready to stand firm and wait for help.

He received a report and heard that people from the third battalion had come to attack the county seat, so he went to the tower and looked out. Seeing that there were only a hundred or so enemy troops outside, he was a little annoyed. He was also very angry, clamoring to go out and destroy these hateful guerrillas.

But the commander disagreed. He said, "Don't you think it's strange? Just relying on the people of the third battalion, they dared to attack the county seat. There must be a conspiracy behind them. I'm sure they must have set up a If we send troops out to chase these anti-Japanese elements, we will definitely be ambushed by the enemy."

Outside the city, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion were indeed very confident.They shot at the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall without any scruples, and they were not worried that the Japanese and puppet troops would come out to chase them, because this was exactly the task they had to undertake.

The officers and soldiers of the Old Third Battalion fought for a while, but the Japanese and puppet troops did not come out, and only shot at the officers and soldiers of the Old Third Battalion from the city wall.

A few snipers from the Taohuashan guerrillas mixed in the third battalion fired a few shots from time to time and killed many devils and puppet soldiers on the city wall. The officers and soldiers of the third battalion were very depressed.

In order to completely enrage the enemy, the Taohuashan special forces bombarded the Japanese army with two mortars they brought. It exploded very close, and if it wasn't for someone around him to shield him from the shrapnel, it would have definitely killed the commander.

The commander was really annoyed, and felt that the people in the third battalion were really bullying.In order to expel these annoying people from the third battalion, and to verify whether his judgment was correct, he called a squadron leader of the Japanese army and asked him to take the troops out of the city to drive away these people from the third battalion. He just needs to drive away the people from the third battalion, and don't pursue them.

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion saw that the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall were hiding, and they were bored. They saw the city gate opened, and more than 100 Japanese soldiers rushed out from inside.

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion immediately began to evacuate. They were afraid that the devil soldiers would not be able to catch up, so they shot at the devil soldiers while running.

The special operations team members were accurate with their marksmanship and killed one or two devil soldiers from time to time, but they did not attack the devil officers, for fear that once the devil officers were eliminated, these devil soldiers would retreat.

Seeing that the members of the third battalion had retreated, the devil's squadron leader led the devil's soldiers to chase forward. After chasing a distance of several hundred meters, he saw the dense vegetation ahead and the terrain was somewhat complicated. He was worried about being ambushed, so he went Ready to retreat.

The guerrillas in ambush in the bushes and grass saw the devil soldiers trying to run, so they opened fire on them violently.

The ghost soldiers dropped more than a dozen corpses and fled in a panic.

Seeing that his judgment was completely correct, the commander said proudly: "You have all seen it, those anti-Japanese elements really set up an ambush outside. It seems that Gao Jiu is nothing special, his little trick is still Can't hide it from me."

Seeing that the commander's judgment was correct, the officers also admired him very much, so they slapped Ma Pi all over the place.

The commander said triumphantly: "Remember everything, no matter how provocative the anti-Japanese elements come, don't pay attention to them."

Gao Jiu saw that the enemy had retreated, leaving behind two snipers from the Special Forces and dozens of guerrillas from the third battalion, who continued to fire cold shots at the Japanese and puppet troops in the city outside the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops had already learned their lesson. Apart from leaving a small number of observation posts to monitor the situation outside, everyone else hid. No matter how provocative the guerrillas were, they ignored them.

Gao Jiu led the rest of the guerrillas around Binjiang County, and came near the Binjiang Bridge to the east of Binjiang County.

There is a Japanese gun tower and two bunkers on the side of the bridge. On the other side of the bridge, there is also a bunker with two fortifications made of sandbags.

The reason why Gao Jiu and the others spent so much time in the county town was to destroy the Japanese stronghold on the bridge.

Li Chengwu first sent someone to cut off the telephone line between the county town and the Japanese gun towers, and then directed the special forces to attack the enemy's bunkers and gun towers.

Dealing with such fortifications as the Japanese army is a piece of cake for the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The special forces first used firepower to block the gunholes on the enemy's bunkers and gun towers, and covered several guerrillas approaching.They used rocket launchers to blow through the blockhouse under the blockhouse, killing the Japanese soldiers in the blockhouse, and then fired three shells at the blockhouse with an 82mm recoilless gun, directly blowing up the blockhouse.

The guerrillas rushed up quickly, wiped out a few devils who were lucky enough not to be killed, and occupied the bridgehead at this end of the bridge.

The devil soldiers on the other end of the bridge saw the fierce fighting at this end of the bridge, so they sent a devil soldier to check the situation.When he saw that the gun tower on the side of the bridge was blown down, he ran back in a panic.
