Chapter 730: I am the man of Jiuye
At two o'clock in the morning, Gao Jiu and others launched a raid on the puppet army's cavalry battalion.
The guerrillas first touched off the puppet army's post and rushed into the puppet army's barracks. In just ten minutes, they wiped out the puppet army's cavalry battalion.
With the war horses, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, led by Gao Jiu, began to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet troops.
The fierce gunfire from outside the city woke up the enemies in the county. They climbed up the city wall in panic to guard against the Taohua Mountain guerrillas coming to attack the city.
Gao Jiu wanted to be afraid of the enemy, so he commanded the guerrillas to launch a strong attack.
The guerrillas came to the north of the city wall, but they still used the old method. The guerrillas found hidden objects and fired guns into the sky to attract the Japanese and puppet troops on the city wall to fight back. When the enemy fought back, the firelight from the wound exposed their location, and the guerrilla snipers wiped them out one by one.
Soon, basically no one on the city wall dared to fight back.
Gao Jiu personally brought several team members to the bottom of the city wall and kept throwing grenades at the Japanese and puppet troops hiding behind the battlements.
It didn't take long, and there was no living enemy on the city wall that was more than 100 meters long.
The guerrillas climbed up the city wall with their flying claws, set up machine guns, and fired at the enemies in the city and at both ends of the city wall, quickly eliminating the enemies on the city wall, and opening the defense gap to hundreds of meters.
A large number of guerrillas climbed up the city wall. Under the command of Li Chengwu, Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu, they attacked the military police of the Japanese and puppet troops, Huang Xiejun and police battalions respectively according to the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Office.
In order to resolve the battle as soon as possible and prevent the enemy from resisting stubbornly, Gao Jiu still adopted the tactic of three besieging one, deliberately leaving the south gate of the county town.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers were beaten to death and opened the city gate to the south and fled outside the city.
A team of guerrillas had already been ambushing outside the city. When they saw the brigade of Japanese and puppet troops escape, they opened fire violently at the Japanese and puppet troops while blocking the city gate with machine guns to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from retreating. The Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy casualties and fled wildly with the help of the night.
Gao Jiu and others controlled the entire county town, plundered the Japanese and puppet property, and left the county town before dawn.
During the battle in Huainan County, the Japanese and puppet troops lost more than 850 people and a large amount of property, causing a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.
The Japanese and puppet troops issued an emergency notice, ordering the Japanese and puppet troops in various places to strengthen their defense and prevent guerrillas from launching sneak attacks.
Under the leadership of the Military Control Commission personnel, Gao Jiu and others ran wildly. At 8 o'clock in the evening, they had already appeared in a Japanese labor camp more than 300 kilometers away. They still used night battles to capture the labor camp, annihilate more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops, and rescued more than 870 laborers who were forcibly arrested by the Japanese and puppet troops, and prepared to transport them to Japan.
Every night, Gao Jiu and others would attack a key Japanese army target, which made all the Japanese and puppet troops dare not sleep at night. However, even though they opened their eyes wide and were filled with people on the city wall, they could not stop the attack of the guerrillas.
The Southern Front Army was so anxious that it was helpless to deal with the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
There is a powerful figure in the Southern Front Army, who is the commander of the 11th Japanese Army, gangcun Ningji, and later the supreme commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Army.
He carefully studied the tactics of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and put forward a suggestion, which was to concentrate a fast mobile force in every area. Once the traces of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas were found, they would pursue and fight relentlessly, and would not give the Taohua Mountain guerrillas a chance to breathe. Once they were exposed, they would mobilize a large army to siege them from all sides.
It should be said that this tactic is very effective. Unfortunately, they are facing the Taohuashan guerrillas. The Taohuashan guerrillas are not ordinary bandit armed forces. They have a strong background. The entire military bureau also includes the underground party intelligence organization, which can provide them with information about the Japanese army in their area at any time.
The Japanese army formed a mobile force soon reached Gao Jiu's ears, and Gao Jiu decided to use them first.
That night, the Japanese rapid mobile troops received a report saying that Gao Jiu and others were attacking a large military warehouse of the Japanese army. This warehouse was less than 30 kilometers away from the Japanese rapid mobile troops' base. The Japanese mobile troops immediately dispatched to the military warehouse for emergency assistance.
The Japanese officers and soldiers rode various vehicles and a large number of cavalry and quickly marched towards the military warehouse.
The commander of the Japanese army was a colonel, and he had been waiting for the appearance of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
The previous target attacked by Gao Jiu and others was too far away from them. Even if they rushed over, Gao Jiu and others would disappear.
The target of Gao Jiu and others attacked this time was so close to them that the Japanese colonel was very happy and thought that he had finally found an opportunity to entangle Gao Jiu and others.
He did not expect to eliminate the Taohua Mountain guerrillas in one go, but he was determined to bite the Taohua Mountain guerrillas tightly. No matter where they escaped, they would chase them and create fighter jets for the Japanese army's large army surrounded the Taohua Mountain guerrillas on all sides.
He never expected that their actions had been under the surveillance of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas, and Gao Jiu had already prepared a big dish for them and was waiting for them to come and taste it.
After the Japanese and puppet troops drove out of the barracks, their team left the barracks less than 3 kilometers. There were more than 20 kilometers away from the large Japanese military warehouse attacked by the guerrillas. The Japanese and puppet troops' defense was extremely relaxed. They never dreamed that they were violently attacked by the guerrillas at their doorstep.
A large amount of explosives were buried on the highway, and the violent explosion blew up more than one-third of the Japanese troops on the spot. Then, the Taohuashan guerrillas opened fire violently at the Japanese troops on the highway from the inverted triangle ambush positions set up.
The Taohua Mountain guerrillas each had a sniper rifle and a submachine gun. They brought a large number of light machine guns and mortars, and they attacked the Japanese army on the road with a fierce firepower strike.
The unprepared Japanese and puppet troops could not organize effective resistance at all, and were defeated and were all annihilated in a short time.
The Japanese colonel finally found an opportunity to fight Gao Jiu, but he got what he wanted. He and more than 1,200 Japanese officers and soldiers under him lost their lives.
With this lesson, the Japanese fast mobile troops in other places, when they learned that the Japanese army's important target was attacked by the Taohuashan guerrillas, they actually hurried in the barracks and dared not come out.
Gangcun Neji was crying and tears were still crying. He watched the important targets of the Japanese and puppet troops be attacked by Gao Jiu one by one.
The Taohua Mountain guerrillas became more and more brave as they fought, and they were no longer satisfied with attacking the ordinary targets of the Japanese army. They simply focused on the rapid mobile troops formed by the Japanese army.
That night, Gao Jiu and others quietly came to the barracks of one of the Japanese fast mobile units and launched a fierce attack on them.
The guerrillas adopted the same night battle tactics, and the Japanese and puppet troops quickly did not dare to fight back.
They used mortars to bombard the Japanese and puppet troops, and the Japanese and puppet soldiers all hid, hoping that the enemy would be tired of fighting and retreat quickly.
Gao Jiu wanted to completely destroy the enemy's confidence, so he personally led a small team into the Japanese army's barracks.
He threw out more than 400 grenades in one breath. With such a large amount of exercise, even Gao Jiu's arms were a little numb.
The Japanese army had no idea where the grenades flew from, so they could only fire blindly. As soon as they exposed their target, mortar shells and a large number of machine gun bullets would fly over, so they had to stop firing again.
But this is still useless. The grenades still flew over as if they had eyes.
The Japanese fast mobile troops were the backbone of the local Japanese and puppet troops. When they were attacked, they were counting on the Japanese fast mobile troops to rescue them. However, the Japanese fast mobile troops were attacked, but no one had the courage to come out to seek death.
The battle went on all night, and at 8 o'clock in the morning, the guerrillas entered the Japanese barracks and completely eliminated the remaining enemies.
The Japanese fast mobile troops were completely wiped out in their barracks. This attack was so terrifying that the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Hubei region were panicked.
The Japanese and puppet troops were worried about being attacked by the Taohuashan guerrillas, so they gathered the Japanese and puppet troops in the small strongholds together, and many county towns were also abandoned by them.
Gao Jiu and others were very satisfied with fighting. He also believed that many of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas in the Golden Triangle had not fought for a long time, so they should be called to train soldiers.
Not long after, Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming led 300 Taohuashan guerrillas to Hubei and airdropped a large amount of ammunition and other materials. The number of Taohuashan guerrillas led by Gao Jiu and others in Hubei has reached 1,000.
This was an extremely terrifying force. Wherever they went, the Japanese and puppet troops were invincible.
The activities of Gao Jiu and others in Hubei greatly affected the Japanese and puppet forces. The underground party and the Military Control Commission also took the opportunity to carry out large-scale activities. A large number of underground party guerrillas and the Loyal and National Saving Army controlled by the Military Control Commission also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese and puppet troops, and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops.
Next, Gao Jiu and others targeted the puppet troops.
That morning, a regiment of the puppet army stationed in Jiulong County discovered the traces of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. They did not dare to go out to fight, so they hid in the barracks and prepared to rely on fortifications to defend.
The Taohua Mountain guerrillas surrounded the puppet army from all sides. They first fired a row of mortar shells into the puppet army's barracks, and then sent people to shout.
At this time, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas had an electric speaker. A member of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas shouted loudly: "Listen to the puppet army inside, the one who is fighting you is Gao Jiuye's Taohua Mountain guerrillas. If you don't want to die, you will come out to surrender obediently, otherwise you will be wiped out."
The commander of the puppet army stood on a roof and saw the unique black uniform of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas with a telescope. He was so scared that he looked like a slut, knowing that he was not Gao Jiu's opponent.
He discussed with several of his main officers and decided to surrender to Gao Jiu.
After meeting the commander of the puppet army, Gao Jiu educated him and asked him to lead his subordinates to follow the Taohuashan guerrillas to fight against Japan.
Gao Jiu guaranteed that after they abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, they would not be liquidated by the Guo Mansion. Gao Jiu's reputation is beyond his name, and everyone knew that he kept his word, so he decided to follow Gao Jiu to fight against Japan.
Not long after, Gao Jiu and others surrounded another regiment of the puppet army. The former commander of the puppet army entered the barracks of the puppet army and persuaded them to surrender. Soon, the puppet army of this regiment also joined the battle ranks of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
The Taohua Mountain guerrillas carried out sweeps everywhere. They resolutely eliminated the Japanese army when they met, and persuaded them to surrender. If anyone did not surrender, they would resolutely annihilate them. Some puppet troops simply came to surrender directly.
Not long after, the puppet troops surrendered to the Taohua Mountain guerrillas had reached more than 13,000.
Gaojiu sent a large number of weapons and ammunition, as well as boxes of oceans, and directly distributed them to these puppet soldiers.
Most of the puppet soldiers were unwilling to follow the Japanese. Seeing Gao Jiu so generous, they were determined to fight against Japan with Gao Jiu.
The underground party and the military commander also contacted Gao Jiu. They led their own troops to join the coalition commanded by Gao Jiu. The coalition quickly grew to more than 20,000 people, and the area they controlled had reached a vast area of more than a dozen counties.
On this day, Huang Zhiqiang, the commander of the 8th Brigade of Huang Xiejun, received a regiment commander of Huang Xiejun.
He asked in confusion: "Didn't you surrender to Gao Jiu? Why did you come here? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"
The commander smiled and said, "Braft Commander Huang, I'm really not afraid. Now I am from Master Gao Jiu of Taohua Mountain. Master Gao Jiu had already told me before coming that if someone dared to touch a hair of my hair, he would have to escape to the ends of the world and would have a dead end."
Huang Zhiqiang remained silent after listening.
The regiment commander said, "Braft Commander Huang, I came here to send a message for Mr. Gao Jiu. He said, "I asked you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. If you promise him, he can help you clear the crime of traitors. There is no problem with wanting weapons, ammunition, and oceans."
If you don’t agree, Jiu Ye will bring the Taohuashan Special Forces to you for tea.”
Gao Jiu is really terrifying. If he is targeted by him, there will be only a dead end.
Huang Zhiqiang summoned the main officers under his command, and after discussion, he decided to follow Gao Jiu's opinion and prepare for it anyway.
At the same time, the 7th Brigade of the Huang Jie Army in this area and the 9th Brigade also received messengers sent by Gao Jiu. They did not have the courage to oppose Gao Jiu, and they all agreed to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
Gao Jiu did not ask them to do it immediately anyway, but just set up a liaison officer to let them fight back against the Japanese army at critical moments.
