The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

The Japanese commander in Changning City heard that the Taohuashan guerrillas had been surrounded in Baolan County, and immediately mobilized troops to come for reinforcements.

By 3:30 p.m., the Japanese outside the city had outnumbered an infantry regiment.There is still about a regiment of Huang Xiejun, and the situation has become very serious.

Brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu and the Taohuashan guerrillas still did not pay attention to these Japanese and puppet troops. They firmly believed that at night, there would be a way to break out of the encirclement.

Wang Jianming and his agents didn't think so. Seeing so many Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, they felt that there was more danger than good, so they borrowed the radio station of the Taohuashan guerrillas to report to the station chief of Changning, the commander of the army.

The station master of Changning station reported the situation here to the military command headquarters, and after learning about the situation, the military command headquarters notified Gao Jiu again.

When Gao Jiu learned that the two brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu were besieged in Baolan County, he immediately sent a telegram to Ning Wen and Ning Wu, asking about the situation here.

Brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu didn't expect to disturb Master Jiu, so they sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking him to rest assured that they would find a way to break through at night.

Gao Jiu didn't think so. There were so many Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, and they would definitely carry a lot of artillery. In terms of casualties, Gao Jiu would never refuse to save his brothers.

He immediately mobilized a large number of transport planes and bombers, and led two special operations squadrons to fly to Yichang. After preparing to refuel there, he flew to Baolan to rescue the two brothers Ning Wen and Ning Wu and the special operations members.

Commander Yang was very happy when he heard that Gao Jiu was coming, so he took his generals to the airport to meet Gao Jiu and others in person.

As soon as the transport plane stopped at the airport, Gao Jiu got off the plane.Commander Yang and others went forward to greet Gao Jiu affectionately.

Gao Jiu exchanged pleasantries with everyone, and said, "Brother Yang, I have to leave immediately, and I'll have a drink with you when I get back."

Commander Yang said: "Brother Gao, don't worry, everything is ready for you, and the plane will be refueled immediately. Everyone you want is also ready for you, that is, my guard group. Do you think it is enough?"

Before Gao Jiu arrived, he had already sent a telegram to Commander Yang, asking him to prepare in advance, refuel the plane, and send a troop to follow him to rescue Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others.

Commander Yang sent his guard group over.The guard regiment of the 20th Corps is equipped with advanced weapons provided by Gao Jiu's arsenal. It has more than 3000 people and is a very elite force.

Gao Jiu looked at the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment lined up neatly at the airport, and nodded in satisfaction.

Commander Yang called the head of the guard over and said to him, "Ge Zhicheng, from now on, you will obey Brother Gao's command and you must not disobey any order. Do you understand?"

The head of the security team, Ge Zhicheng, was 32 years old, and he looked talented. He looked shrewd and capable. He had admired Gao Jiu for a long time, and was very excited to be able to fight side by side with the famous Master Jiu. He said loudly: "Yes, Commander, humble I understand, everything is at Master Jiu's disposal."

Gao Jiu has always been generous in his shots, and he will never treat his comrades who fought side by side badly.Now it's time to employ people again, no matter what, it is necessary to add credit to Commander Yang.

He asked people to bring over several large boxes that had been prepared, and they were filled with white oceans. The soldiers each received 50 oceans, and the officers gave more rewards according to their ranks.

He sent Dayang to the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment on the spot, and promised to wait until Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were rescued, and then give them another reward when they came back.

The officers and soldiers of the guard regiment heard that they could fight with the famous Gao Jiuye, and their morale was high. Seeing how generous Jiuye was, they were all extremely excited. Under the leadership of the regiment leader Ge Zhicheng, the slogans were shouted loudly.

Time waits for no one. Guo Hengming led the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment to Baolan County in armored combat vehicles and a large number of cars. Gao Jiu and others took off immediately after the plane was filled with fuel, and went to rescue Ning Wen and Ning Wu. people.

Baolan County.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were short of troops and could not defend the county seat, so they retreated to a corner of the county seat, using two walls and a building in the corner, preparing to start a street battle with the Japanese army and standing firm for reinforcements.

The commander of the Japanese army knew that the Taohuashan guerrillas were very powerful, so they sent a large number of troops. Some entered the city, preparing to launch an attack, and some set up cannons outside the city, preparing to bomb the city wall, and then rushed into the city. Eliminate the Taohuashan guerrillas.

In the past, the artillery equipped by the Japanese army was mainly Type 9 infantry guns and mortars. Using such weapons to deal with city walls basically had no effect.

Now the Japanese army is also equipped with some 102mm howitzers. The devils bullied the guerrillas in the city without artillery, so they simply advanced the 102mm howitzers to a few hundred meters away from the city wall, preparing to use the artillery to blow up the gap in the city wall.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu on the city wall were also a little apprehensive when they saw this scene.They did not carry long-range artillery when they came out to perform the mission this time. Whether it was an 82mm recoilless gun, a bazooka or a mortar, they could not reach the Japanese army and could only be beaten passively.

When the brothers were worrying, they suddenly received a telegram from Gao Jiu, asking them about the situation here, saying that the bomber had already taken off and asked them to indicate the target for the bomber.

Ning Wu and Ning Wen were a little puzzled, they didn't send a telegram to Master Jiu for help, but they didn't expect Master Jiu to arrive in Yichang and fly to Baolan County like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

The two brothers told the special forces members the good news, and everyone couldn't help cheering.

The Japanese soldiers outside the city heard the cheers inside the city, and they didn't know what happened. They continued to adjust the artillery, and then started the test firing.

The 102mm howitzer is still very powerful. The city wall of Baolan County is only built of rammed earth, with bricks added on both sides, which cannot withstand the shooting of such a large-caliber howitzer.One shot hit, and a large piece was blown away, and the city wall began to collapse after continuous shelling.

At this moment, the roar of the plane suddenly came from the sky.The bomber pilots used radio communicators to get in touch with Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others, asking them to indicate the target of the Japanese army.

Ning Wu was very excited, and said: "We are all in the northwest corner of the county seat, and outside the city are devils and puppet soldiers, just bomb it."

In order to avoid hurting their own people, the pilots lowered their flight altitude and dropped aerial bombs on the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city at a height of only a few hundred meters from the ground.

At the beginning, the Japanese army didn't know where these planes came from, and thought they were their own planes.

They were wondering, because the commander did not ask for help from the Air Force. They didn't understand why the Japanese Air Force with such a big frame would suddenly lend a helping hand to them?

When they saw the aerial bombs falling from the sky, they understood why the guerrillas in the city cheered. It turned out that this was the bomber of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The devil soldiers were blown up, and the devils who were lucky enough to survive ran around.The puppet soldiers ran desperately like a flock of sheep, only hating that their parents gave birth to a pair of legs for themselves.

Surrounded by so many Japanese and puppet troops in the city, Wang Jianming and the others thought they must be doomed. Now they are very upset and feel that today is very unlucky.They were surrounded by the Japanese and puppet troops at the beginning, and almost died. They were finally rescued by the Taohuashan guerrillas, but they fell into a tight siege again.

When they heard that the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas came to support them, they immediately became excited.

At this moment, they couldn't help cheering when they saw the panic of the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops outside the city were blown up and fled in all directions, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were also very panicked.In the past, the Japanese and puppet troops had never fought against the Taohuashan guerrillas, but now they understand how powerful the Taohuashan guerrillas are.

The commander of the Japanese army was very smart. He knew that if he withdrew from the city, he would be bombed by enemy planes and would suffer heavy losses.Instead, it is better to stay in the city. There are people from the Taohuashan guerrillas and ordinary people in the city. The air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas should not carry out bombing.

So they continued to confront the Taohuashan guerrillas in the city.

Just as the bombers were bombing the Japanese army, Gao Jiu and others took a transport plane to the outside of the county.

This time Gao Jiu brought two special warfare squadrons, they quickly carried out the airborne, and then launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

The Japanese army in the city was flanked by Taohuashan guerrillas led by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Gao Jiu. At the beginning, they thought that the guerrillas had no advantage in street fighting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle broke out, they would truly feel the strength of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The Taohuashan guerrillas not only had proper tactics, but the weapons in their hands were suitable for street fighting. The firepower points of the Japanese army were destroyed one by one by rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless guns.

The Japanese army had nowhere to hide, and they felt as if they were exposed to the wild. The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could not resist the attack of the Taohuashan guerrillas at all, and they were either killed or injured, or fled around.

When Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the guerrillas they led saw Gao Jiuye, they were so excited that tears filled their eyes.In their minds, Gao Jiu is the father, the elder brother, and the backer they can rely on at any time.

Wang Jianming had heard Gao Jiu's name for a long time, and today was the first time he saw this legendary figure, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He even forgot to salute Gao Jiu all of a sudden, and he stuttered a bit.

Gao Jiu said affectionately: "Brother Wang, today is thanks to you. If you hadn't informed the military command, I wouldn't have known you were trapped here."

Only then did Wang Jianming salute Gao Jiu and said, "Master Jiu, this is what you should do. I also want to thank you for saving me and the brothers in the military command."

Next, Gao Jiu asked Wang Jianming about the local enemy situation, saying that he would return to Yichang with the brothers Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Taohuashan, and asked him if he could provide a guide.

Wang Jianming said that he was more familiar with this area and was willing to be Gao Jiu's guide.

Gao Jiu knew that this area was occupied by the enemy, and now their whereabouts have been reported. The Japanese army's brigade is probably coming here. He wants to take the brothers of the Taohuashan guerrillas out of danger and return to Yichang as soon as possible. .

This place is 210 kilometers away from Yichang. On the way, we have to pass through the defense area of ​​the 11th Division of the Japanese Army. I am afraid there will be battles to be fought on the way.

Changning City Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters.

Commander Tokusei Yamamoto received a report that the Japanese and puppet troops who went to besiege Baolan County were almost wiped out. The anti-Japanese elements surrounded in the county even received air force support, and the weapons they used were very advanced.

He realized that the anti-Japanese armed forces that had caused chaos in this area in recent days were not ordinary anti-Japanese armed forces. He heard that they were probably members of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Now he was basically sure that these people were really members of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Commander Yamamoto realized the seriousness of the problem and reported it to his superiors.

The higher-ups heard that they were members of the Taohuashan guerrillas, so they didn't dare to neglect, so they reported the situation to the Central China Front Army Command level by level.

The Central China Front Army hadn't dealt with Gao Jiu for a long time, and they even had business contacts with Gao Jiu. It was unexpected that Gao Jiu would send someone to make trouble on the Central China Front Army's territory.

The commander said angrily: "Gao Jiu is really too much, we haven't provoked him recently, why did he send people to make trouble in our jurisdiction?"

The chief of staff also felt very headache when he heard the news. He thought for a while and said: "According to the report, the main goal of these people is not to attack our troops, but to rob property. I heard that Gao Jiu is buying gold on a large scale. It's about this."

The commander said: "We have business dealings with Gao Jiu. It's too much for him to do so."

The chief of staff suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, in order to avoid further misunderstandings, I think it's better to contact Gao Jiu directly to see what his intentions are, and then we can make plans."

The commander said: "What you said makes sense. Gao Jiu really can't be provoked, you should get in touch with him as soon as possible."

Under the guidance of Wang Jianming, Gao Jiu and others are preparing to cross the defense zone of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army and return to Yichang.Now the area they are in is the east bank of the Yangtze River. If they want to return to Yichang, they have to cross the Yangtze River, which is very troublesome.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Guo Hengming, asking them to rush to the river and try to raise a batch of ferries to take them across the river.

Gao Jiu knew that there was a Japanese Jiangfang Fleet on the Yangtze River. In order to avoid being intercepted by the enemy Jiangfang Fleet when crossing the river, Gao Jiu planned to attack the Japanese port first and kill the Jiangfang Fleet.

Gao Jiu and others were marching, and Jia Liu received a telegram from the Central China Front Army, which said: "Dear Mr. Gao: The Central China Front Army and Mr. Gao have reached a tacit agreement. Why did Mr. Gao send people into our defense area to create The chaos caused a large number of casualties of the Huang Army, which seems unreasonable? Please explain the purpose of this, Mr. Gao, and we can discuss anything."

The telegram was signed by the commander and chief of staff of the Central China Front Army.
