The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 986 Air Commando

Gao Jiu rested in Taohua Mountain for two days, and then received a telegram from Wang Jindong from Zhengzhou City, saying that the Japanese army in the direction of Henan had recently changed, and Gao Jiu was asked to go to Zhengzhou City as soon as possible.

Gao Jiufei went to Zhengzhou City and met Wang Jindong.

Wang Jindong introduced the current situation to him.It turned out that Gao Jiu's substitute had been operating in Zhengzhou City, which was a great deterrent to the Japanese army.The Japanese troops in the direction of the river disaster were also obedient and did not take any action.

The North China Front Army knew that Gao Jiu was now fighting the Kwantung Army outside the pass, so they notified the situation to the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Henan, and asked the Seventh Army to take advantage of Gao Jiu's absence in Henan and the main force of the No. 40 First Corps. Transferred away from the opportunity of the river disaster, attacking Kaifeng and Zhengzhou City, it is best to take down Nanyang City in one fell swoop, and completely defeat the Guojun's power in the river disaster.

The commander of the Seventh Army also thought this was a good opportunity and began to dispatch troops to prepare to attack Wang Jindong's 187th Army.

Wang Jindong has his own intelligence system, and they also informed him of the latest movements of the Japanese army.Wang Jindong worried that the 187th Army alone would not be able to resist the Japanese attack, so he asked Gao Jiu for help.

To be honest, Gao Jiu doesn't want to fight in Henan and outside the pass at the same time.A large amount of money has been invested in the battle outside the pass, and if there is another big battle in the direction of Nanyang, Gao Jiu feels that it is too much to bear in terms of financial and material resources.

But he couldn't ignore Wang Jindong's affairs. In order to deter the Japanese army in the direction of Henan, Gao Jiu decided to make a public appearance in Henan, telling the Japanese army that he was in Zhengzhou City, and they would come to fight if there was a bell.

Since Gao Jiu's stand-in has been active in Zhengzhou, in order to convince the Japanese army that he is in Nanyang City, Gao Jiu simply asked Wang Jindong to arrange a press conference to appear at the same time as his stand-in.

At the press conference, Gao Jiu made it clear that he would stay in Zhengzhou City from now on and be ready to repel the Japanese attack at any time.

The news quickly reached the commander of the Seventh Army. He really didn't want to provoke Gao Jiu, so he had to cancel the plan to launch an offensive campaign in the direction of He Nan.

Gao Jiu hadn't returned to the Golden Triangle for a while, he was thinking about the things there, and saw that there was no movement in the direction of He Nan, so he flew back to the Golden Triangle with Wang Zhankui and others.

After Gao Jiu arrived in the Golden Triangle, the first thing he did was to visit Long Guobi's mother and son.

"Brother Jiu, you are back, come and see our son." Long Guobi said happily when he saw Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu reached out and took his son from Long Guobi's arms. His movements were very gentle, for fear of accidentally hurting the little guy.

It was the first time for the little guy to meet his own father, maybe because of blood relationship, the little guy was not afraid when he saw Gao Jiu, he stared at him curiously at first, then a smile appeared on his face, his hands and feet were still there Dancing, as if welcoming his father.

Gao Jiu was full of joy when he saw the chubby baby son, and said to Long Guobi, "Thank you for your hard work. Our son is so cute. I will accompany you well when I come back this time."

Long Guobi was very happy, and hurriedly ordered someone to host a banquet for Gao Jiu.

In the next few days, Gao Jiu stayed at Long Guobi's mansion to accompany their mother and son.

Three days later, he made his public appearance before the Zheng Zheng Committee.

After listening to reports from various parties, Gao Jiu saw that the Golden Triangle was well-managed, and was satisfied with all aspects of the Zhengzheng Committee's affairs.

After finishing their daily affairs, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming listened to Lin Yanni's report on the enemy situation around the Golden Triangle.

Around the Golden Triangle, the Japanese army did not make any major moves, and the garrison situation of the troops was similar to that before Gao Jiu left.Intimidated by the strong comprehensive strength of the Golden Triangle, the Japanese army did not launch an attack on the Golden Triangle.

To be honest, Gao Jiu really wanted to fight a few big battles around the Golden Triangle, expand the territory of the Golden Triangle outward, and strive for a more favorable situation for the Golden Triangle after the war.

It's a pity that he is currently supporting the war outside the pass, so he has to temporarily give up this idea.

On this day, Gao Jiu received a good news. The news was sent by Long Yingyuan. The batch of helicopters that Gao Jiu ordered from the United States had been transported to Malaysia under the escort of the United States Navy. The army escorted the supplies to Burma, and asked Gao Jiu to send a transport team to meet them.

Gao Jiu attached great importance to this matter, so he asked Tian Chuan to arrange someone to escort the supplies first.

Soon after, parts for the helicopter arrived at the arsenal in the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu personally guided the engineers and technicians of the arsenal to assemble these helicopters.After the assembly was completed, Gao Jiu asked the arsenal to install armor on the vital parts of the helicopter, and installed a heavy machine gun and a double-barreled 107 rocket launcher on it.

This time Gao Jiu bought 50 helicopters, except for keeping 5 as a means of transportation, the remaining 45 were all converted into armed helicopters.

To be honest, in this part of Southeast Asia, due to the tropical rainforest climate, it is not suitable for cavalry combat.The condition of the roads is also very poor, and the movement of vehicles is greatly restricted.Gunships are best suited for such terrain.

When Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others saw that the guerrillas were equipped with such weapons and equipment, they all wanted to try their power quickly.

So they transferred 200 members from the Taohuashan guerrillas to form an air commando. After a week of adaptive training, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others couldn't wait to set off with the air commando.

On the banks of the Mekong River.

The Japanese army set up a water checkpoint in Agung Village, stationed with about 120 Japanese officers and soldiers, with two gunboats and six patrol boats.They are responsible for checking the passing boats from the Mekong River and charging the corresponding fees.

The discipline of the Japanese army is very strict. Although they are water troops, they still maintain a regular work and rest system.

This morning, the Japanese army got up for morning exercises. They were training on the playground when they suddenly heard a roar coming from a distance.The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army heard it, it was from the air.

Although they knew that there was an enemy air force in the Golden Triangle, the sound they heard this time was different from the roar of planes flying, and they were not an important target here. The enemy was reluctant to drop bombs here.

So they didn't panic, but looked into the sky curiously.

Soon after, a large area of ​​small black spots was seen in the sky, and those small black spots were getting closer and closer.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army had never seen such a strange aircraft.The commander of the Japanese army observed and saw those planes flying towards them. According to his experience, this was definitely not the plane equipped by the Japanese army.Since it is not a Japanese aircraft, it is very likely that it is an enemy aircraft.

Aware of the danger, he hastily ordered his men to disband and disperse and hide.

While the Japanese officers and soldiers were fleeing in all directions, this large group of strange planes flew over, and the people on board fired machine guns at the Japanese army violently.

Although the Japanese army had dispersed, many Japanese soldiers were hit and fell to the ground.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army have now determined that this is the enemy's aerial vehicle. They hid in houses or lay down on the ground, shooting into the air.

The group of strange aerial vehicles did not fly very high, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army could clearly feel that their bullets had hit those strange aircraft, but it had no effect at all.

The large-caliber machine gun bullets on the plane were strafing over. As long as they were hit, the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army were either killed or seriously injured.

After a group of aircraft in front flew past, several aircraft behind fired rockets towards the ground, and the rockets exploded violently, blowing up the houses built by the Japanese army with bamboo and wood.

It was the air commando team led by Gao Jiu and others who launched the attack on the Japanese army. The team members were very excited to see the Japanese army in a panic.

Many team members thought that shooting with machine guns was not enough, and when they flew over the Japanese army, they threw grenades downward.

The strafing of machine guns, as well as the explosion of rockets and grenades, made the Japanese camp a mess.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army couldn't stand such a violent blow at all. They fled in all directions and ran to the jungle outside the camp.

More than 20 armed helicopters continued to cover the air with machine guns, and eight helicopters landed on the playground in the Japanese camp. The special operators got off the helicopters and launched an attack on the Japanese army.

At this time, most of the Japanese soldiers in the Japanese camp were either killed or fled. Only some wounded soldiers who could not escape made weak resistance and were quickly wiped out by the guerrillas.

The guerrillas searched the Japanese camp, found some money from the Japanese treasury room, and then came to the river, boarded the Japanese gunboats and patrol boats, and blew them up with explosives.Then it was back on the playground and boarded the helicopter.

Not long after, the huge group of helicopters flew back towards the direction of the Golden Triangle to the west.

The special forces members used to attack the enemy. Although they rode fast horses, after each attack, they would worry about the Japanese army's pursuit and interception, and they were very nervous.

It's a great feeling to be able to leave the battlefield quickly after a fight like this.

Wang Zhankui said excitedly: "The helicopter is really a good thing. With such an assault force in Taohuashan, there will be no little devils who dare to mess with us. As long as the little devils mess with us, I don't think they will be able to sleep again. , we can sneak attack them at any time."

Guo Hengming was also very excited. He said, "Jiuye, find a way to get more armed helicopters over here. If we have enough helicopters, the troops can be deployed to any area at any time without being restricted by rivers, mountains and other terrains. It can easily change the balance of forces between the enemy and us on the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of our Taohuashan guerrillas can be several times higher than before.”

Among these people, Li Chengwu is the most excited. Now he has become the captain of the air commando of the Taohuashan guerrillas, not to mention the envy of others.As a fast-moving unit of the Taohuashan guerrillas, the opportunity to fight in the future must be the air commando that will be his turn first. It is very enjoyable to think about it.

He said: "Jiuye, this time we didn't get much oil and water, and the money seized is not enough for our oil money. Now we still have enough fuel, weapons and ammunition, let's find another target to fight."

Gao Jiu and others came prepared to attack this checkpoint, and they are not yet clear about the targets of the Japanese troops in other areas.If you drive a plane to search blindly, the returned fuel may not be enough.Perform air assault combat missions, select at most one target at a time, and leave after shooting to avoid unnecessary damage.

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Forget it this time. There will be more tasks to fight devils in the future. I'm afraid that you won't feel fresh if you fight them. I'll let you go when the time comes. Just don't complain behind your back."

Li Chengwu said: "How can it be? Jiu Ye, I am happy to let me do the job of beating devils every day."

After the air commandos returned to the Golden Triangle, Mary came to the door.She was entrusted by the Ministry of Military Industry of the United States to learn about the situation of armed helicopters conducting assault operations.

She has to write a corresponding report and submit it to the U.S. Military Industry Department to provide them with experience for reference.

After listening to the stories of Li Chengwu and others, Mary felt that it was not enough. She asked to go to the battlefield in person to experience the combat power of the armed helicopter.

Gao Jiu fulfilled her request, and soon after, the British Governor in Burma asked Gao Jiu for help, saying that a British army was surrounded while fighting the Japanese army, and hoped that Gao Jiu could send troops to rescue.

His mission is best suited to an air commando.In order to increase his experience in air rescue, Gao Jiu personally participated in the rescue operation.This time, bringing Mary with her was fulfilling her wish.

Gao Jiu and others dispatched all the armed helicopters this time, but 20 of them did not carry commandos. These aircraft were used to rescue the surrounded British officers and soldiers.

It is about 350 kilometers from the Golden Triangle to the accident site, which is more than an hour's journey for armed helicopters, and they rushed to the battlefield quickly.

On the battlefield, after the commander of the British army asked his superiors for help, based on his past experience, he believed that even if his superiors could ask the famous Taohuashan guerrillas to come to rescue, it would probably take a day or two.

Now there are less than 100 of his men left, and he is very worried about whether he can hold on until the reinforcements arrive.He and the officers and soldiers under him are already prepared that the reinforcements will not be able to arrive.

Several officers of the British army discussed that there were still four and a half hours until dark, and if reinforcements did not arrive by dark, they would surrender to the Japanese army.Because now they can resist the Japanese attack by virtue of their favorable terrain.

But when it was dark, they couldn't see the enemy clearly. Once the Japanese army rushed up, all they had to do was to wipe out their entire army. Therefore, they took dark as the deadline for fighting.

They think that they have fulfilled the basic duties of a soldier, and when they are forced to surrender to the enemy, it will not be considered a disgrace to the honor of a soldier.
