The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

The Watanabe Regiment lost nearly half of its men in the last battle, and it has not had time to replenish it. It has more than 2000 troops.The commander of the public security area has more than 2800 people, and Sasaki was also assigned to a regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.

But they couldn't find so many vehicles. In the end, there were more than [-] Japanese troops crossing the river from Miura Ferry.They marched all the way and came to Liushuhezi.

Seeing the enemy convoy approaching, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion couldn't help feeling a little nervous, not only the new soldiers who had just joined the army, even Zhao Meng was a little worried.After all, there are too many enemies, and there are less than 1000 people on my side.

The reason why the officers and soldiers of the Old Third Battalion still have a certain degree of confidence is that when the troops from the Eastern Jidong Military Region came over, they brought a large number of submachine guns. The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion each had one, and the officers and soldiers were either manipulating artillery or machine guns. , occupying a great advantage in terms of firepower.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the two squadrons of Gao Jiu and Taohuashan Guerrilla are here.The officers and soldiers of the third battalion saw their combat effectiveness, and felt at ease in their hearts.

In order to defeat the enemy as soon as possible, Gao Jiu had made careful arrangements in advance.He personally brought a detachment of Taohuashan special forces to ambush with the officers and soldiers of the third battalion.

Seeing the Japanese convoy approaching, Gao Jiu and several guerrilla snipers opened fire first, and their target was the Japanese commander.

Gao Jiu aimed at the cab of a car in the Japanese convoy and shot it.

The car rushed forward a few steps and then stopped.

The snipers of the Taohuashan guerrillas also fired one after another, and their targets were also other Japanese cars.After the attack, the cars stopped.

The bazooka and 82 mm recoil gunners ambushing by the roadside are waiting for this opportunity.After all, bazookas and artillery are not rifles. When the vehicle is moving, their accuracy is not so high. Seeing the car stop, they quickly opened fire on them.

Boom boom boom, with the sound of several cannons, all those cars were beaten into a ball of fire.Captain Watanabe and the commander of the public security area were blown to pieces immediately.

At the same time, the front and rear vehicles of the Japanese convoy were also destroyed by the 82mm recoilless guns of the guerrillas, and the convoy was forced to stop.

See Gao Jiu opened fire.Zhao Meng and the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion also fired violently at the Japanese convoy.

The Japanese army thought that the anti-Japanese armed forces were in Binjiang County and the Kaoshantun Ferry downstream, and they had no defense at all.Under the fierce firepower, he was beaten dizzy and suffered heavy casualties.

After all, the fighting power of the Japanese army was very strong. After suffering a severe blow, the living Japanese officers and soldiers jumped out of the truck one after another to fight back.

Since the main commanders of the Japanese army were killed immediately, it was difficult for the Japanese army to organize effective resistance.They fought on their own, and they held Type 38 rifles that could only fire single shots. They were very passive for a while, and some people kept falling down under the rain of bullets.

A captain of the Japanese army took the initiative to assume the command responsibility. He howled desperately and organized the soldiers to fight back.

The main task of the snipers of the Taohuashan guerrillas was to eliminate the commanders of the Japanese army.Seeing the captain of the Japanese army waving a command knife, three snipers fired at him and killed him directly.

Although the Japanese army still had a certain advantage in numbers at this time, they lacked organization and their firepower was not as good as that of the guerrillas, making them very passive.The grassroots commanders of the Japanese army who were lucky enough to survive shouted desperately, and they retreated while fighting, hoping to escape the ambush circle of the guerrillas.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army finally escaped from the convoy, and when they were about to organize a counterattack, two special operations squadrons of the Taohuashan guerrillas, under the command of Li Chengwu and Shi Jianlong, suddenly came out from their flanks and rear.

Under the fierce firepower, the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties.The ghost soldiers didn't know how many enemy troops there were. They were completely stunned now, and they couldn't organize effective resistance at all. In this case, their original combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Gao Jiu was going to crush the enemy army quickly, and without giving the enemy a chance to breathe, he immediately gave the order to charge.

He himself had a light machine gun in his hand and charged forward as he fired.

Zhao Meng and the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion charged with machine guns and submachine guns. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could not resist at all. Coupled with the attack from the side and rear of the Taohuashan guerrillas commanded by Li Chengwu and Shi Jianlong, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army completely collapsed. up.

The battle was going on one-sidedly, and the Japanese officers and soldiers were constantly being wiped out. They had no advantage in firepower at the beginning, and gradually they did not even have an advantage in numbers, and most of them were wiped out soon after.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were extremely tenacious, and those soldiers who survived by chance lay on the ground and fought on their own.Although they couldn't organize effective resistance, they still caused a lot of trouble for the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion and Taohuashan guerrillas.

In order to completely annihilate these remnants and defeated generals, the Taohuashan guerrillas and the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion also paid a high price. More than 30 people died and more than 40 people were injured.

Either way, it was a brilliant victory.The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion cheered excitedly.

Due to the suddenness of the ambush, the Japanese army was wiped out, and there was no time to send a report to the superiors, so the Japanese army did not know what happened here.

Gao Jiu left a platoon of officers and soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and led the Taohuashan guerrillas and the main force of the guard battalion to attack the next target.

Wang Zhankui and Li Gensheng led the two detachments of the main force of the Old Third Battalion to ambush in advance on the embankment on the bank of the Kaoshantun Ferry.Because Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan guerrillas and the guard battalion of the third battalion to the upper reaches of the river, Wang Zhankui believed that it was impossible for them alone to eat up the Japanese 161st Brigade.

He discussed with Li Gensheng to change the original method of ambush and use the terrain to block the Japanese army on the other side of the river, buying time for Gao Jiu and others to wipe out the enemy troops from the upper reaches.

Li Gensheng agreed with Wang Zhankui's opinion.So they deployed their troops along the river bank, and when the Japanese 161st Brigade came to the river and was crossing the river, they gave them a head-on blow.The two sides began a fierce battle along the river bank.

There is a wide shoal at Kaoshantun Ferry, and there is a temporary bridge on the river, which can be used for vehicles to pass, and Japanese soldiers can also wade in other places.

Some officers and soldiers of the Japanese army attacked the other side of the river from the temporary bridge, and some jumped into the river and waded across the river, but without exception, they were all beaten back by the troops of the third battalion.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army originally thought that his elite field brigade could easily cross over and destroy the mobs of the third battalion.

Unexpectedly, the enemy army on the other side of the river was well-equipped and their firepower was even stronger than his troops.

When Li Gensheng led the troops from the Third Division of the East Jidong Army, he brought all the weapons, ammunition and supplies dropped by Gao Jiu to them, including a large number of artillery and machine guns, as well as submachine guns and a large amount of ammunition.Except for this regiment of the Third Army Division, part of the Taohuashan guerrilla unit was equipped with the original troops of the Third Battalion.

The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla corps relied on their firepower and superior terrain to block the Japanese army, and the Japanese army could not cross the river at all.

Wang Zhankui had rich combat experience, and he guessed that the Japanese army might send some troops to find other locations to outflank.He also allocated part of his troops to deploy defenses along the upstream and downstream of the ferry.

Sure enough, the Japanese army also sent a small unit to smuggle people, but they were also beaten back by the officers and soldiers of the third battalion.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the third battalion had fought some small battles with Gao Jiu, and all had some combat experience.When they faced the large Japanese army, they were unavoidably flustered at the beginning, but when they saw the Japanese soldiers holding [-] guns, they were constantly knocked down in the river under the firepower of their machine guns and submachine guns. Among them, I also feel that the Japanese army is nothing more than this, and the morale is getting higher and higher.

The brigade commander of the Japanese army had very rich combat experience. He saw the weapons used by the guerrillas on the other side of the river, which he had never seen before.So he reported this situation to Sasaki, the commander of the 80th Division.

After Sasaki received the telegram from the head of the 161st Brigade, he was secretly proud, thinking that the tactics he adopted this time were completely correct.He sent a telegram to the commander of the 161st Brigade, asking him to go all out to attack the enemy.

Sasaki had a lot of thoughts, and he didn't tell the brigade commander that he had arranged for the Watanabe unit to cross the river from the upper reaches of the river to outflank the enemy's rear.

He wanted to let the 161st Brigade attract the main force of the Taohuashan Guerrillas and the Old Third Battalion first, and then tell the 161st Brigade Commander his combat deployment after the commander of the Watanabe brigade cut off the retreat of the anti-Japanese elements.

In order to avoid this guy's passive slowdown, but also to show his tactical excellence.

When Watanabe led the troops to set off, he had already reported to Sasaki.According to the time when they set off and the speed of the vehicle, Sasaki judged that they had crossed the river at this time, but had not yet reached Baolin County.

Therefore, he did not send a telegram to urge them. He believed that as long as Watanabe and others occupied Baolin County, they would definitely send a telegram to report their victory.

He continued to be patient, and sent small troops to continuously attack the other side of the river to contain the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Gao Jiu and the others led the troops towards Miura Ferry.After arriving at the ferry, the scouts guarding near the ferry reported to them that they still hadn't seen the regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, which posed another problem for Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu had to eat this regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army, otherwise, they would always be a threat when they crossed the river and moved behind the old third battalion.But these guys haven't passed the time yet, and Gao Jiu doesn't know how long he will have to wait.

He is now in a hurry to support Wang Zhankui and Li Gensheng, and he is a little undecided for a while.

After Gao Jiu asked Zhao Meng about the terrain on the other side of the river, he found that it was not easy to find a place to lay an ambush on the other side of the river.This made it even more difficult to wipe out this regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.After careful consideration, he decided to win by surprise and beat the puppet Manchukuo army by surprise.

After making up his mind, he asked the two brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu to lead a small team to search along the road on horseback. As soon as they found the puppet Manchukuo troops, they immediately reported to him.

After Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others set off, Gao Jiu and Zhao Meng led the troops to continue driving along the road.

An hour later, Ning Wu sent a telegram saying that they had spotted the troops of the Puppet Manchukuo Army and were marching slowly towards the ferry.Obviously, this group of puppet Manchukuo troops did not intend to rush to participate in the battle, but wanted to wait until the Japanese army surrounded the troops of the third battalion, and follow behind to pick up a bargain, so their marching speed was very slow.

Gao Jiu ordered to stop, and he asked Zhao Meng to lead the guard battalion to stand by. He led the Taohuashan guerrillas to disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers and continued driving along the road.

Gao Jiu and the others marched on the highway swaggeringly.Soon after, I saw the troops of the puppet Manchukuo army marching ahead.They drove straight through.

The troops of the Puppet Manchukuo Army saw that it was a Japanese military vehicle driving over, but they didn't care.They parked their troops on the side of the road and moved out of the way to let the Japanese convoy pass.

The head of the puppet army knew that the troops led by Captain Watanabe and the commander of the Binjiang Security District passed through here, and he believed that these Japanese troops should be part of it.Therefore, I took a few main officers and stood by the roadside to see if the Japanese army had anything to look for them.

Gao Jiu drove through the ranks of the Puppet Manchukuo Army and met the head of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.

Gao Jiu and the others stopped.The head of the Puppet Manchukuo Army saw a major Japanese soldier getting off the car, and hurriedly came forward with a smile on his face and greeted Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu told the commander of the Puppet Manchukuo Army that he had just received an order from Captain Watanabe, saying that according to the information provided by the commander of the Binjiang Public Security District, some people in the puppet Manchukuo Army regiment had secretly defected to the third battalion and were preparing to go to the third battalion in the army. When fighting, suddenly counterattack.

The head of the puppet army was taken aback, and hurriedly argued that this was impossible.

Gao Jiu told him that he had definite information here. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, he asked the head of the puppet army to gather the troops, and the Japanese army would suddenly disarm those officers and his troops to prevent future troubles.

The commander of the Puppet Manchukuo Army was a little hesitant, so Gao Jiu asked him if he wanted to protect those people, or if he also had the idea of ​​fornicating the third battalion.

The head of the Puppet Manchukuo Army was taken aback. He didn't dare to take such a crime, so he hurriedly assembled the troops.

Li Chengwu and Shi Jianlong led the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas to surround the puppet Manchukuo army.

The Gao Jiu Brigade told the head of the Puppet Manchukuo Army that he ordered the troops to lay down their weapons. If any battalion or company did not follow the order of the puppet army head, they must be anti-Japanese elements.
