The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 442 Brothers, Welcome You

Nanyang.

When Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie brought their troops to Nanyang, they heard a very depressing news: the troops were to be reduced in size, and the newly formed 24th regiment and Guan Lie's independent regiment were merged into one regiment, with the number reduced to 2300. Wang Zhankui was the head of the regiment and Guan Lie was the deputy head.

In the past, the new 187th Division had its own territory in Southwest Shandong, and several surrounding counties could have financial support. No one cared about how much the new 187th Division Wang Jindong wanted to expand his army, as long as he could afford it.

Due to the financial constraints of the national government, it could not support so many troops, so it was necessary to control the establishment of the troops.Now that Wang Jindong has lost his territory in southwestern Shandong, the main source of funding is allocated by the 41st Army, and the funding of the 41st Army is also limited. Therefore, the newly formed 187th Division is required to compress its establishment.

Wang Zhankui's original 24th regiment had nearly 3000 people, and Guan Lie's supplementary regiment also had 2200 people. Now they are reduced to 2300 people, which is really unacceptable to them.

The most outrageous thing is not this point. Most of the people who were dismissed from the reorganized list were from Wang Zhankui's old team. The reason was that these people were from bad backgrounds.

Wang Jindong is quite righteous, and he trusts Wang Zhankui very much.He argued hard, but this is what the above mean, they don't want to keep people of bandit origin.

When Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie went to participate in the reorganization meeting of officers above the regiment held by the military headquarters, they clearly felt the unfriendly atmosphere.Those officers are all graduates from various military academies. They look down on Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie who come from wild backgrounds, and they don't want to get close to them. Those people are in groups, Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie You just can't fit in with those people.

Wang Zhankui fully understood that a person of his background would have no future in the national army.Now is the time of war, when employing people, he can be good at fighting and still have a place. Once people can no longer use him, he may be the target of being purged.

After returning to the station, Wang Zhankui called together the old team of the original cavalry battalion and discussed with them the way out in the future.

After discussing for a long time, they were unwilling to continue working in the national army. Wang Zhankui had already figured out a way out, and said to these old brothers: "Brothers! I want to join Jiuye, are you willing?"

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

Gao Jiu is really awesome. The most important thing is that Gao Jiu is righteous and never treats his brothers badly. Moreover, Gao Jiu was also born as a bandit, so there is no psychological barrier between them.

Wang Zhankui made up his mind to break away from the organizational system of the new 187th division, so he came to Wang Jindong to resign as the head of the new 24th regiment and take his old brothers away.

To be honest, Wang Zhankui made great contributions to Wang Jindong, and Wang Jindong was reluctant to leave him. However, he was under a lot of pressure from above, and even his father-in-law persuaded him not to take in Wang Zhankui because he was a bandit and had defected to the enemy. people, that will affect his future.Wang Jindong was also helpless, and finally agreed to Wang Zhankui's request.

He felt that he owed Wang Zhankui, so he agreed with Wang Zhankui to take away his old brothers and their equipment, and gave Wang Zhankui 30 oceans and [-] rounds of ammunition.

What Wang Jindong has done can be regarded as being benevolent and righteous, because when the military personnel are dismissed, they are not allowed to take away equipment. On this point, Wang Jindong is really doing it very righteously.

At noon that day, Wang Jindong, Chief of Staff Liu and others gave Wang Zhankui a farewell party.Wang Jindong said: "Brother Zhankui, the newly created 187th Division is able to have what it is today, thanks to brother Zhankui who went through life and death and made outstanding achievements. Brother, I am sorry for you."

Speaking of this, Wang Jindong was really moved, and tears flowed from his eyes.

To be honest, Wang Jindong treated Wang Zhankui really well, and Wang Zhankui was also very moved, and his eye circles turned red.He said: "Master, I understand your thoughts, and I can understand your difficulties. You have helped me to support my younger brother, and I will never forget my younger brother. I offer you a toast."

The two clinked glasses and drank the wine in their respective glasses.Wang Jindong said: "You are going to join Brother Gao Jiu, brother, I am also happy for you, brother Gao is a man of great ability, not to mention character, if you keep up with Brother Gao, you will have a bright future.

In the past year, Brother Gao has helped the new 187th Division a lot. I cherish the days of fighting side by side with Brother Gao.Brother Gao, I gave up on Southwest Lu this time, and I really feel sorry for Brother Gao.

After you met Brother Gao, you apologized to him for me, and said that I will always treat him as a brother, and no matter where he goes, as long as he needs it, I will try my best to help. "

Chief of Staff Liu was also very emotional. He said: "Brother Gao and Brother Zhankui fought side by side together. These days are always worth cherishing. Alas, what a pity! There is no banquet that lasts forever."

Speaking of this, his heart was also very heavy, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

After the banquet, Wang Zhankui led more than 240 old brothers to Taohua Mountain.

In the early morning of this day, several special forces members who had already sneaked into the city, led by Liu Shengyu's confidants, quietly came to the west gate of the county seat, killed two Japanese military policemen, and opened the west gate.Zhang Quan and others led a special force team into the county seat and ambushed on the route scheduled by the Japanese army for exercise.

Soon after dawn, with the sound of bugles, the Japanese army lined up in the yard, and then ran out of the yard in line.

After all the Japanese troops left the barracks, Tagawa shot Sasaki, who was running at the front, to the head. Almost immediately, Tagawa's sniper team killed all the Japanese officers and machine gunners.

The special forces members also opened fire together, and more than 30 machine guns poured bullets on the Japanese army formation like a rainstorm, knocking the Japanese army to the ground like cutting wheat.

The Japanese army never expected that they would be ambushed in the county town. Their guns were carried on their shoulders. If they want to fight back, they must first remove the guns from their shoulders, load the bullets, and then raise the guns to find the target. Aiming, this series of actions will take some time. In this short period of time, the enemy has already hit many bullets, and they can't react at all to the violent attack at such a close range.

In just 1 minute, most of the Japanese troops were killed, and sporadic Japanese troops were also killed one by one by the special forces. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Quan commanded the special forces to rush into the Japanese barracks and wipe out all the remaining Japanese troops inside.

The entire battle lasted less than 10 minutes, annihilating 176 Japanese soldiers, and only one special forces member was slightly injured.

After the battle started, the security forces and the police brigade, which had already been notified, ran into the yard of the Japanese gendarmerie.

Zhang Quan commanded the special forces to make a feint attack on the gendarmerie's yard. Everyone fired their guns into the sky, making a show, and then the special forces withdrew from Shoucheng County.

Captain Hirata came to the street, saw Sasaki lying on the ground, smiled contemptuously, spat on his battered head, and said in his heart: "This is my territory, it's not your turn yet." This bastard is here to play wild!"

Captain Hirata is very clear now that both the security forces and the police brigade wear the same trousers as the Taohuashan guerrillas. He is very glad that he has never troubled Taohuashan. It's safe and secure here.

Peach Blossom Mountain.

Gao Jiu led all the people in Peach Blossom Village to beat gongs and drums to welcome Wang Zhankui and his group to Peach Blossom Mountain.

Arriving in front of Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui gave an order to the troops he brought: "Relax, stand at attention!Look to the right, look forward. "

Then he turned to Gao Jiu, stood at attention and saluted, and said solemnly: "Master Jiu, I have come to join you with my old brothers, please take care of me."

Gao Jiu stepped forward and hugged Wang Zhankui, and said loudly, "Brother Zhankui, brothers! Welcome to Peach Blossom Mountain, we will be one family from now on."

Next, Taohuashan held a banquet to welcome Wang Zhankui and others.

Wang Zhankui has fought side by side with the Taohuashan guerrillas many times, and has a good relationship with Zhang Quan, Guo Hengming and others. Zhang Quan is willing to give up the position of second leader to Wang Zhankui.Wang Zhankui is a shrewd person, he doesn't want others to think about him, he refuses to do it, saying that he is willing to be the sixth head of the family under Feng Xiucai.

After some concessions, the leaders of Taohuashan rearranged their seats.Gao Jiu is the first head, Zhang Quan is the second head, Wang Zhankui is the third head, and then Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi and Feng Xiucai.

For Wang Zhankui's arrival, Gao Jiu was very happy. Now that the enemy situation is so serious, Taohuashan's strength is too weak. Wang Zhankui and others have experienced many battles. Intense power.With their arrival, the safety of Peach Blossom Mountain has been further guaranteed.

After deliberation, the Taohuashan guerrillas were reorganized and divided into special warfare brigade, cavalry brigade, guard brigade and logistics team.

Wang Zhankui and others came really in time, and a big battle in Taohuashan was about to break out.

第八师团又名弘前师团，编组地：弘前，下属步兵第15旅团，下辖步兵第17联队、步兵第31联队。步兵第16旅团，下辖步兵第32联队、步兵第33联队、。野战炮兵第8联队、工兵第8联队:、辎重兵第8联队:、第8师通讯队、第8师第2野战医院等部，共23420人。

After the 15th Infantry Brigade of the Eighth Division entered Tai'an, the head of the brigade, Major General Qiushan, also served as the commander of the military police in Tai'an area. Shoucheng County was under his jurisdiction, so he sent a squadron of Japanese troops to station there. It was wiped out by the Taohuashan guerrillas.

This completely angered the head of the Qiushan brigade. On the one hand, he reported to the division headquarters and asked to send troops to attack Taohuashan.On the one hand, learn about Taohuashan from the local garrison Yamamoto garrison.

The Yamamoto garrison suffered a great loss in Taohuashan. Not only did they lose the strength of the three brigades, but they were also forced to give Taohuashan a large sum of money to redeem the corpses. Whenever Taohuashan was mentioned, he felt a headache.

Today, the 15th Brigade has entered Tai'an, and Akiyama has served as the commander of the gendarmerie. Captain Yamamoto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he began to sympathize with the head of the Akiyama Brigade. Can have a hard time.

Seeing the head of the Akiyama Brigade asking him about the situation of Taohuashan, Captain Yamamoto did not tell him the truth about his experience, but only said that Taohuashan was a group of bandits with only a few hundred soldiers, and other situations would not be of any concern. He provided.

Captain Yamamoto did this on purpose for two reasons.First, Captain Yamamoto stumbled with Gao Jiu, and he hoped that the head of the Akiyama Brigade would send troops to attack Taohuashan.

Second, the Japanese field troops have always looked down on the local troops. After Akiyama came to Tai'an, his arrogance made Yamamoto's garrison captain very unhappy. He hoped that Akiyama would fight Gao Jiu to the death. Just let him suffer from Gao Jiu, and save him a day of awesomeness.

The head of the Qiushan brigade had heard of Gao Jiu's name before, but he had never dealt with him directly, so he still didn't take Gao Jiu seriously.So, while waiting for the order from the division headquarters, he began to prepare to attack Taohua Mountain.

Gao Jiu knew that Taohuashan was a thorn in the side of the Japanese army, and sooner or later they would come to attack Taohuashan on a large scale.In order to prevent the Japanese army from calmly deploying an attack on Taohuashan, Gao Jiu decided to preemptively disrupt the Japanese army's deployment.

Not long after a squadron of the Japanese army was wiped out, the head of the Akiyama Brigade received a report from Hirata, the captain of the Shoucheng County Gendarmerie. He received a warning from the Taohuashan guerrillas that the Qiushan brigade would send 1000 oceans to buy these corpses back.

The head of the Qiushan Brigade was very angry. He immediately ordered the 17th Infantry Regiment to send an infantry brigade to Shoucheng County.

As soon as the Japanese army left Tai'an City, Sun Yongan's Tai'an intelligence station sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu had already expected that these new Japanese soldiers did not know how powerful Peach Blossom Mountain was. After angering the Japanese army, he personally led the special warfare brigade and Wang Zhankui's cavalry brigade to Taoyuan Town in advance, waiting for the news from Tai'an .

Now that the Japanese army was dispatched, Gao Jiu led the main force of the Taohuashan guerrillas towards Tai'an.

Jinan.

Hamada Yoshihito has repeatedly failed at the hands of Gao Jiu. After his summary, he concluded that if he wants to deal with Gao Jiu of Taohuashan, he must use a large army to encircle him, cut off the connection between Taohuashan and the outside world, and do not give him any help. Gao Jiu used the opportunity of mobile combat to restrict Gao Jiu from using his expertise in guerrilla warfare and completely wipe him out.

In the past, the Huang Army launched many battles against the Taohuashan Travel Notes Team, but they failed every time. The main reason was the lack of troops.Now the strength of the Japanese army in the Shandong area has been greatly enhanced, which has the basic conditions for the complete elimination of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Hamada Yoshihito has been staring at Peach Blossom Mountain. Recently, there is another piece of good news. Wang Jindong's new 187th division has finally left Southwest Shandong. Gao Jiu has lost Wang Jindong's strong support, and his strength has been greatly weakened .

In Southwest Shandong today, only Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion remained, with a total strength of no more than a thousand.

Yoshito Hamada thought this was an excellent opportunity to eliminate Gao Jiu, so he drafted another battle plan and went to see General Matsuda.
