After discussing the situation in Henan, Gao Jiu and others returned to Taohua Mountain.

As soon as he arrived at the airport and had not gotten off the plane, Jia Liu received a telegram.

After he translated it, he hurriedly said to Gao Jiu: "Master Jiu, it's not good. Minister Jiang and the others encountered an enemy on the road."

Gao Jiu was anxious when he heard this. He grabbed the telegram and hurriedly read it, and ordered him to refuel the plane immediately.

After getting off the plane, he said to Zhang Quan who was approaching: "Mobilize all special forces members, notify the Air Force to be prepared and set off with me."

Zhang Quan ordered Geng Hua, who was following him, to follow Gao Jiu's orders to do it.

Zhang Quan asked nervously, "Master Jiu, what happened?"

Gao Jiu told the whole story.

It turned out that Gao Jiu gave Jiang Xiaomei a batch of rocket launchers and sent a special war squadron to be escorted.

He originally asked Jiang Xiaomei to fly to Taohua Mountain, waiting for the arrival of these rocket launchers before handing them over to the Lunan Military Region.

Jiang Xiaomei was depressed and didn't want to return to the familiar environment for the time being, so she followed the special operations squadron escorting the rocket launcher, hoping to relax on the road and adjust her emotions.

Gao Jiu understood her mood and did not persuade her again.

It is a thousand miles from Chongqing to Taohua Mountain. Therefore, Gao Jiu returned to Taohua Mountain, and Jiang Xiaomei and others were still on the way.

Most of the time Jiang Xiaomei and others passed by was the Guotong District, and there was only a Japanese-occupied area from the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains to Nanyang, most of which were the defense areas of the Japanese 37th Division. If a conflict occurred, Gao Jiu would just say hello to the 37th Division and the matter should be resolved. In addition, there was a special combat squadron with strong combat power to escort, so Gao Jiu was not too worried.

Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.

When Jiang Xiaomei and others passed by Tongbai area, the Fruit Army troops, which were originally stationed in Tongbai County, were attacked by the 35th Division of the Japanese Army, and they gave up Tongbai County.

When Jiang Xiaomei and others passed by, they happened to meet a puppet army in a regiment of operations following the Japanese army, and the two sides fought.

Although there were only more than 100 special forces on the escort mission, they had strong firepower and sufficient ammunition, and the puppet troops could not stop them at all.

But after all this trouble and time wasted, the Japanese troops arrived.

Seeing that there were too many Japanese troops, Jiang Xiaomei and others had to temporarily retreat into a village to defend themselves, and then sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

While waiting for refueling, Gao Jiu sent a series of telegrams at the airport.

The Tongbai area is the combat area of ​​the Japanese Sixth Air Force. Gao Jiu sent them a telegram saying that the Taohuashan guerrilla air force was to be dispatched and told them not to interfere.

The Japanese Sixth Air Force quickly replied the telegram, asking the Taohuashan Air Force to go to Tongbai area with confidence.

Heng Jiukuan of the 37th Division of the Japanese Army received a telegram from Gao Jiu, saying that they would make way for a passage to allow Gao Jiu's reinforcements to go to the Tongbai area.

In order to ensure the safety of Jiang Xiaomei and others, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, asking the 41st Corps to dispatch a reinforcement regiment to the Tongbai area for reinforcements.

After receiving the telegram, Wang Jindong explained the situation to Commander Wang of the Corps.

Commander Wang heard that Jiang Xiaomei was in danger. He knew about the relationship between Jiang Xiaomei and Gao Jiu, so he immediately mobilized a division's troops to rescue.

Wang Jindong had already regarded Gao Jiu as his brother, and he also personally led a guard group to go to rescue him.

Before Gao Jiu and others left Chongqing, Li Chengwu had already led the chariot troops and rocket launchers to head towards Taohua Mountain. After receiving Gao Jiu's order, they drove at full speed and headed straight for Tongbai area.

Gao Jiu and Zhang Quan led four squadrons of Taohuashan guerrillas to take transport planes and escorted by the brigade's fighter jets and bombers to the Tongbai area.

After Jiang Xiaomei and others entered the village, the special forces captain took out a large sum of money and urgently evacuated the people in the village. Then they used the armored combat vehicles they were riding in to block the entrances of the village on both sides and parked the rocket launcher on the streets in the village.

These rocket launchers are not conducive to close combat, and are just a decoration at this time, but the 107mm rocket launcher can be completely separated from the rocket launcher and used alone.

The special forces members placed the rockets on the walls and roofs, and used them as ordinary artillery.

Although these rockets are not very accurate in firing, they are powerful and do not need to be accurately firing. As long as they are within a radius of dozens of meters away from the target, they are enough to cause major damage to the enemy.

After receiving the report from the puppet army, the Japanese commander knew that the enemy had only 200 people at most. He brought an infantry brigade, plus a regiment of the puppet army, and thought it was very easy to annihilate the enemy.

But unexpectedly, the enemy's firepower was so fierce. I don't know what weapon the enemy was using. The powerful bombs were continuously fired from a distance of one or two hundred meters, causing the Japanese and puppet soldiers to overturn.

The enemy's firepower was too strong, and the Japanese army could not organize effective attacks at all. Even if some Japanese troops rushed to the village in artillery fire, the special forces' light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns with their own hands still wiped out the Japanese and puppet troops coming to attack.

Seeing that the enemy was so powerful, the Japanese commander had to ask for tactical guidance from his superiors.

When the Japanese corps leader heard the news, he immediately led a large group of troops to reinforce. However, under the powerful firepower of the special forces, there were heavy casualties and he could not get close to this village at all.

Seeing that the Japanese corps commander had too many casualties, he had to suspend the attack and asked the brigade commander for instructions, hoping that the brigade commander could send a large number of artillery troops to provide reinforcements.

After hearing the news, the brigade commander felt a little strange and did not understand where the enemy got such strong combat power. So he reported the situation to the division commander.

The commander of the 35th Division had much better knowledge than these people. He heard that the surrounded enemy troops had many vehicles covered with tarpaulins and a large number of unknown and very powerful weapons, and he immediately had an idea in his mind: "A small force of such a powerful force is probably related to the famous Taohua Mountain Gaojiu."

He was worried about causing trouble, so he sent a telegram to the Central China Front Army Command to find out the identity of this small army.

After receiving the report, the commander of the Central China Front Army immediately concluded that the unit was related to Gao Jiu, Taohua Mountain.

He was unwilling to provoke Gao Jiu and wanted to order the 35th Division to stop the combat operations and withdraw his garrison.

But he also felt very embarrassed, because at this time, Tu Feiyuan was at the Central China Front Army Headquarters.

The commander of the front army did not intend to let Tu Feiyuan know about this. He was going to send a telegram to Gao Jiu quietly, hoping to explain the misunderstanding between him and Gao Jiu after asking the situation clearly. Unexpectedly, Tu Feiyuan had already rushed over after hearing the news.

Tu Feiyuan was a spy and his information was even more informative. He already knew that the Taohuashan guerrillas have now developed a very powerful artillery. According to the report of Shangguanzhuang's Japanese army, those vehicles covered with tarpaulin may be the new type of rocket launcher.

Tu Feiyuan had always wanted to get such artillery, so he issued a death order to the Central China Front Army, asking them to send troops to reinforce immediately, and be sure to annihilate the enemy troops in Shangguanzhuang and seize the rocket launcher.

Tu Feiyuan personally supervised the Central China Front Army, mobilized the 37th Division, 35th Division, and Independent Mixed Third Brigade around Tongbai. The two divisions of Huang Xiejun were dispatched urgently to prevent Gao Jiu from sending reinforcements to rescue.

Heng Jiukuan of the 37th Division sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, telling him about the Japanese army's actions, saying that the 37th Division would also move in that direction. He asked Gao Jiu not to misunderstand that they were just doing it and would not leave the barracks for more than 10km.

Gao Jiu learned that the Japanese army was gathering and knew that this matter was not so easy to solve, so he sent a telegram to Deputy Commander Zhang of the Ninth War Zone, hoping that they would mobilize nearby troops to provide reinforcements.

Deputy Commander Zhang quickly replied the telegram and immediately ordered the 72nd Army in Tongbai Mountain to dispatch two divisions of troops to reinforce.

A sudden and grand battle began.

Jiang Xiaomei and others were guarding Shangguanzhuang Village. Seeing that although the Japanese army no longer launched an attack, there were more and more Japanese troops around. She knew that she might be in danger this time.

At this time, she was not afraid at all because she knew that her dear Brother Jiu would definitely fall from the sky and rescue her.

Sure enough, less than two hours after they sent a telegram for help, the roar of a large number of planes came from the sky.

Transport planes and fighter planes hovered near Shangguanzhuang, and the bombers first launched violent bombings on the Japanese troops around the village.

The Japanese army was bombed and suffered heavy losses. They had to evacuate Shangguanzhuang, but they refused to go far, so they surrounded Shangguanzhuang from afar, preventing the people inside from escaping, waiting for the large army to come and launching a new attack.

The Japanese military brigade commander who had arrived at the scene sent a telegram to the division commander, hoping that he could request support from the Air Force.

The division commander reported the situation to the Front Command. The commander knew that it was very unlikely that the Air Force would be sent to fight Gao Jiu's Air Force. It was just that the soil was full of money, so he handed over the hot potato to him.

The Air Force Department had already told him solemnly that the Army did not have the ability to protect the security of the Air Force and would not participate in the battle with Gao Jiu.

Not long ago, the airport in Nanchang of the Japanese Seventh Air Force was completely destroyed, and even the commander of the air force was beheaded by Gao Jiu. In this case, it was impossible to ask the Japanese Sixth Air Force to fight Gao Jiu's Air Force to the death.

Despite this, Tu Feiyuan still sent a telegram to the Air Force Department with a shameless attitude, hoping that they could order the Sixth Air Force to dispatch planes to attack Gao Jiu's Air Force.

The Sixth Air Force naturally rejected Tu Feiyuan's order.

The bomber troops above Shangguanzhuang chased the Japanese troops on the ground all the way, driving them away from the surroundings of Shangguanzhuang.

The transport plane that Gao Jiu and others were riding was hovering over Shangguanzhuang, and then a large number of special forces members descended from the air parachutes.

Gao Jiu jumped to the open space outside the village first. After landing, he didn't care about packing his parachute, so he hurried to the village.

When Jiang Xiaomei heard the news, she left the yard and saw Gao Jiu with an anxious face, a warm current surged in her chest.

She suddenly felt a sense of grievance and tears couldn't help but gush.

She ran up and rushed into Gao Jiu's arms and burst into tears.

Gao Jiu and Zhang Quan led four special operations squadrons into Shangguanzhuang. They immediately attacked and expanded the defense range by 500m to reduce the density of personnel and prevent enemy artillery fire.

Those rocket launchers originally had no effect, but now that the air force is indicating the target in the air, they immediately launched violent bombardment at the Japanese army.

The Japanese army within a radius of several kilometers were beaten to death, and even the Japanese army that rushed to reinforce was hit by rockets 10km away, with heavy casualties.

At this time, the Japanese army around Shangguanzhuang was defeated. Gao Jiu had five special operations squadrons in his hands, plus the cover of the air force and the powerful firepower of rocket launchers. He could completely break through the encirclement and meet with the troops of the 41st Corps who came to reinforce.

But Gao Jiu was furious and he didn't want to leave. He wanted to fight to the death with the Japanese army here.

He contacted the troops of the 41st Corps who came to rescue and the troops of the 72nd Army and asked them to encircle the 35th Division of the Japanese army. He wanted to eat the ignorant Japanese army in one bite.

At the beginning, the commander of the 35th Division of the Japanese Army was still full of confidence. He believed that he would definitely be able to eliminate this small guerrilla team and seize the secret weapons they had in order to please Tu Feiyuan.

However, bad news came soon. His troops were subjected to fierce bombing from the Taohuashan Guerrilla Air Force and the attack of unknown mysterious weapons. Not only was he unable to get close to Shangguanzhuang, but he had lost more than 2,000 people, and the number of losses was still rising.

Please then, the Front Command sent a telegram telling them that the Japanese 37th Division was intercepted by the main force of the 41st Corps of the Guo Army, and the Independent Mixed Third Brigade was also intercepted by the 72nd Army of the Guo Army. Now, the heavy responsibility of taking Shangguanzhuang and seizing that batch of weapons fell on the 35th Division.

Of course, his desire to obtain support from the Air Force was completely shattered. The telegram for help was sent for so long, and although his superiors had informed him that he had ordered the Air Force to be dispatched, so long had passed, and he only saw the planes of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas in the sky showing off their power, and the Japanese Air Force could not even see the shadow.

The commander of the 35th Division knew that the situation was not good, so he issued a death order to the commander of the Japanese brigade around Shangguanzhuang, asking him to attack Shangguanzhuang desperately, hoping to seize the batch of weapons and then evacuate quickly.

The Japanese brigade commander was amused and crying. The Taohua Mountain Guerrilla Air Force flew over batch by batch, throwing batches of aviation bombs down like money, and the powerful mysterious weapons kept firing shells. His troops could not even assemble, so what could they use to attack?
