Li Yao was very dissatisfied with Gao Jiu's order, but because it had been agreed in advance that the combat independence regiment would obey Gao Jiu's command, he still conveyed the order according to Gao Jiu's request.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were also very dissatisfied when they heard this order. They were asked to hide in bunkers, hide their bodies, and shoot in the sky. The soldiers were unwilling to waste bullets and were unwilling to obey this order.

When the special forces saw that the Eighth Route Army soldiers were unwilling to do this, they had to split up some of them and hide in the bunker and shoot in the sky.

Li Yao was a little confused when he saw the special forces members doing this. But after he carefully observed it for a while, he understood.

It turned out that since it was night, it was difficult for both sides to see the specific position of the enemy, and they could only judge based on the firelight at the muzzle. Gao Jiu asked the Eighth Route Army soldiers to fire their guns, with the purpose of attracting the enemy to shoot. The firelight at the muzzle of the enemy provided targets to the sharpshooters of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas.

The enemy also counterattacked based on the firelight at the muzzle, but the special forces members hid behind the bunker and fired guns in the sky. The enemy's bullets came to the ground and could not hurt them at all.

The snipers of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas and a large number of sharpshooters were able to accurately eliminate the enemy based on the firelight of the Japanese muzzle.

Li Yao was deeply impressed by this tactic. He asked his officers and soldiers to do as ordered and free up more special forces to attack the enemy.

Soon after, most of the Japanese army were annihilated, and a small number of enemies were left, and they didn't even dare to fire their guns.

Under such circumstances, Gao Jiu still did not issue an order to attack. Next, it was time for the artillery soldiers of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to take effect.

The Japanese army was surrounded in a narrow range, and the dense firepower of the Taohua Mountain guerrilla artillery made them have nowhere to hide.

After the artillery fire, the ambush circle was very quiet and the Japanese counterattack could no longer be seen.

Gao Jiu then said to Li Yao: "Political Commissar Li, order your troops to attack."

The soldiers of the Independence Regiment rushed up with shouts. Most of the people from the Taohua Mountain guerrillas remained in place, only Tianchuan's sniper team followed the Eighth Route Army soldiers, responsible for eliminating the remaining Japanese troops.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment only encountered sporadic counterattacks and rushed up quickly. They wiped out the remaining enemies and completely ended the battle.

After this battle, more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment brought by Li Yao only suffered 6 casualties, which was unimaginable in previous battles.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were happily searching for the weapons of the Japanese and puppet troops, because they had already agreed in advance that all the seized weapons and ammunition belonged to them. Li Yao and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment were laughing from ear to ear.

After the battle, the troops participating in the ambush were divided into two groups. One was led by Zhang Quan to lead a squadron of the Special Operations Brigade and a battalion of the Li Yao Independent Regiment to attack the county town. The other was led by Gao Jiu to attack the Wangjiaao Copper Mine.

Wangjiaao Copper Mine.

Chen Zhiyong led the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to continue besieging the enemies of the Wangjiaao Copper Mine. At this time, it was already dawn, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The terrain of Wangjiaao Copper Mine is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is dawn, both sides can see the opponent's target clearly, and the Japanese army can better exert their firepower advantages, and this battle will be even more difficult to fight.

He believed that sneak attacks should be carried out at night to avoid major casualties caused by strong attacks during the day. Unfortunately, Gao Jiu and others had not come yet, and the independent regiment could not launch an attack alone.

As time passed by minute by minute, the sky became brighter and brighter. When he was anxious, he saw Gao Jiu and others leading a large number of people coming over. He suddenly became excited and asked, "Jiu Master, have the Japanese in Gaoping City been destroyed?"

Gao Jiu said lightly: "Yes, it's been knocked out."

Chen Zhiyong was very excited, and he said happily: "It's so great."

Then he asked in detail about the ambush, and Du Shengxi told him about the incident.

When Chen Zhiyong heard that he had killed more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops, he knew that the Independent Regiment had made a fortune this time, because Gao Jiu had already said that all the seizures belonged to their Independent Regiment. With these batches of weapons and ammunition, the Independent Regiment could replace the cannons with a shotgun.

When he heard that Zhang Quan, Li Yao and others had taken the special forces and the soldiers of the independent regiment to attack the county town, he had no doubt that they could capture the county town at all, so he began to think about how many weapons, ammunition and materials could be seized from the county town. He now had a feeling of nouveau riche, and a sense of happiness filled every cell in his body.

He said excitedly: "Master Jiu, let's attack the copper mine now."

Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "Suspend the attack on the copper mine, bury the pot and make rice, let the troops rest and wait until dawn.

Chen Zhiyong was a little confused, and he said, "Jiu Master, why don't you attack while it's dark? This can reduce a lot of casualties?"

Gao Jiu said: "Wait until dawn to launch an attack, just to reduce casualties in the troops."

Chen Zhiyong still couldn't understand, but when he heard Gao Jiu say that, he wanted to see how the Taohuashan guerrillas fought.

While the troops were resting, several special forces members shouted at the enemy in the copper mine with iron trumpets: "We are from the Taohuashan guerrillas. I advise you to put down your weapons and surrender quickly. Otherwise, you will capture the copper mine without leaving any chickens and dogs."

Chen Zhiyong asked, "Master Jiu, what is this for?"

Du Shengxi said: "The Russians are trying to tell the enemies in the copper mine to let them know that the Taohuashan guerrillas are coming to fight them, so that when they ask for help from the Japanese, they know who is coming to fight them, and scare the Japanese who want to come to reinforce them."

Chen Zhiyong understood that Gao Jiu and others meant that in order to avoid the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, they seized so much material and it would take a lot of time to transport them back to the base. If the Japanese reinforcements came, it would be a very troublesome thing, but he still felt a little unconfident. I wonder if he could scare the Japanese reinforcements?

The soldiers of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas and the Independent Regiment had been resting for more than two hours. When the sky was bright, both the enemy and us could see clearly.

Gao Jiu observed the mountain for a while and said, "Let's start."

Du Shengxi's firepower team brought four Type 92 infantry cannons this time. They pushed the cannons to a distance of 200 meters from the Japanese firepower point and shot straight at the Japanese bunkers on the mountain.

Chen Zhiyong saw from the telescope that the Japanese bunkers collapsed one by one under the attack of artillery fire. Immediately afterwards, other Japanese firepower points were also destroyed one by one under the attack of artillery fire.

Only then did Chen Zhiyong understand why Gao Jiu had to launch an attack during the day? This was because he had powerful artillery soldiers and could exert the power of artillery during the day.

Next, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas opened fire with all their energy, covering the artillery forward and continuing to destroy the remaining fire points of the enemy.

In a short while, the enemy's resistance was basically destroyed, and some sporadic counterattacks were also eliminated by the snipers of the special forces.

Seeing that the enemy on the opposite side had no movement, Gao Jiu said to Chen Zhiyong, who was already ready to charge, "Captain Chen, you can attack."

Chen Zhiyong jumped up, held the pistol, and shouted loudly: "Comrades! Go!"

Thousands of soldiers from the Independence Regiment rushed forward shouting loudly.

Takawa followed with a sniper team and helped the soldiers of the Independent Regiment to eliminate the remaining enemies, and the battle ended soon.

In this battle, less than 20 officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment suffered casualties.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment were happily confiscating weapons and ammunition. Gao Jiu, led by a rescued miner, came to the copper mine warehouse.

A special forces member saw the lock on the warehouse door. He raised his rifle and shot two shots at the lock. He removed the broken lock. Several special forces members stepped forward and pushed open the door.

There were many large wooden boxes near the north wall in the warehouse. There were many trolleys leaning against the wall beside the gate. The team members pushed a small trolley. Two strong special forces team members lifted a box from the pile of boxes, placed it on the trolley, and pushed it to a bright spot in front of the gate.

A team member picked up a crowbar and pried open the lid of the box, which was filled with purple-red copper ingots.

Gao Jiu stepped forward and took out one with his own hands, looked carefully, and said, "No, it's a good thing."

The miner said: "Each of these copper ingots weighs six kilograms, and the copper ingots in each box are 240 kilograms."

Since the management personnel were not found or the account books were not seen, the special forces team counted the boxes, a total of 560 boxes and 134,400 kilograms. The harvest was not small, and it took a long time for the arsenal in Taohua Mountain.

Gao Jiu was not satisfied, and he asked, "Is there any other place?"

The miner said: "There should be some more in the smelting furnace."

Gao Jiu and others came to the smelting furnace led by the miner. They saw more than 30 boxes of copper ingots and some scattered unboxed copper ingots. Gao Jiu ordered them to take them away.

At this time, Du Sheng ran over happily, and he said excitedly: "Jiu Ye, the Russians searched the offices, finance rooms, warehouses, and Japanese barracks in the mine, and got a lot of bills of exchange, oceans and Japanese military tickets. It is roughly estimated that there are 70,000 to 80,000 oceans.

Chen Zhiyong, who was following Gao Jiu, then sighed that these bandits were really good at making money. The officers and soldiers under him knew to confiscate weapons and ammunition, but they went straight to something more valuable. Fortunately, Master Jiu said that half of the seized money was also distributed to them. He was so excited that his face turned red and he couldn't help rubbing his hands hard.

Gao Jiu looked at Chen Zhiyong and said with a smile: "Captain Chen, we agreed that all the seized weapons and ammunition belong to you, and half of the money will be distributed to you, but you have to transport those copper ingots for me to get back."

Chen Zhiyong was excited, and he agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, Master Jiu, we have more than a thousand people, and we promise to transport the things you want to you."

Everyone was happy, and good news came again. Zhang Quan sent a telegram saying that he had captured Gaoping County and annihilated the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Let's go, brothers, go to the county town to make a fortune."

The seizure that had been obtained today made Chen Zhiyong so excited that he didn't know how to express his feelings. He heard that he could still make a fortune in the county town, so his lips began to tremble with excitement.

He followed everyone out while planning to expand his independent regiment to the size of three regiments. With this contribution, he could at least become the deputy commander of the military sub-district.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and others came to Dongping County, and the guerrillas who came with them immediately joined the ranks of making money.

Just as Gao Jiu and others were attacking the copper mine, the Japanese troops stationed in Rong County, who were stationed in the 114th Division received a telegram for help, and the Japanese troops in Tai'an also received a telegram for help.

When the commander of Qiushan Brigade saw the words Taohuashan Guerrilla mentioned in the telegram, he frowned immediately.

He felt very embarrassed about this matter. He had reached an agreement with Gao Jiu. He did not cause trouble for Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu did not break his promise and had never disturbed the 15th Brigade.

It is definitely unwilling to ask him to send troops to rescue the copper mine now, but the copper mine is not small and is directly controlled by the 12th Army Command. If he does not go to rescue, it will be difficult for his superiors to explain.

Another reason is that he doesn't know whether those who attacked the copper mines were Taohuashan guerrillas? If everyone pretended to be Taohuashan guerrillas, then their 15th Brigade would not do anything in the future.

After thinking about it, he had an idea. He first summoned senior officers from the brigade headquarters to study the enemy situation and combat routes. This research took only an hour, and then ordered the troops to assemble. It took another hour for the gathering of troops, and then they sent telegrams to the copper mine.

After the telegram was sent, Qiushan waited for the copper mine to return the telegram. After waiting for 15 minutes, the copper mine still had no reply. The commander of Qiushan Brigade understood that this time it was the Taohuashan guerrillas who went to the copper mine.

He knew the combat effectiveness of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. The copper mine did not reply, which means that it had been defeated by others.

The commander of the Qiushan Brigade breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the troops to disband. He sent a telegram to the 12th Army Command, saying that the troops had been assembled and were about to go for reinforcements, but the copper mine had been lost, so there was no need to go again.

The one stationed in Rong County was a brigade of the 114th Division of the Japanese Army. Although the Japanese brigade commander had not fought directly with the Taohuashan guerrillas, he knew clearly what the outcome of the 114th Division had when they fought against Gao Jiu.

He received the order for reinforcements. He was not as big as the commander of Qiushan Brigade. He did not dare to disobey the orders of his superiors, but he was also very scheming. He also gathered troops slowly and then drove out of the county town of Rong County.

He was worried about being ambushed by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, and separated a large group of troops by 6,700 meters between each squadron. At the same time, he sent vanguards one kilometer in front.

He rode his horse and walked slowly in front of the team, controlling the speed of the troops' advancement, hoping that when he arrived at the copper mine, the Taohuashan guerrillas had already set up the copper mine and evacuated it sooner or later. He just took a trip and made a deal after he returned.

Less than ten miles after they left the city, the vanguard in front of the team saw a street sign in the middle of the road, which read in Japanese: "No access, otherwise the consequences will be borne by one."

The Japanese brigade leader heard that there were many sharpshooters in the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. He did not dare to go to the street sign in person, so he asked someone to take the street sign down and send it to him.

Not long after, I heard a "boom" sound in front of me, and a violent explosion occurred.

It turned out that after hearing the order, the Japanese soldiers went to pick up the street sign, but unexpectedly there was a landmine buried below and killed two Japanese soldiers on the spot.

The Japanese squadron leader was startled at first, and then he became excited. He ordered the troops to be on guard on the spot and then sent engineers to clear mines.

Demining mines is a meticulous task and takes a lot of time. The Japanese brigade captain asked the engineers to slowly queule mines, just delaying his time.

Suddenly, a few bullets flew from somewhere, and several Japanese engineers were knocked to the ground.

When the Japanese captain saw this, he simply took the team back to the county town. He sent a telegram to his superiors that the Taohuashan guerrillas adopted the tactic of surrounding the points to attack aid, and they ambushed the heavy troops on the road to the copper mine, so they had to retreat to Rong County.

Not long after, the Japanese brigade commander of Rong County and the commander of Akiyama Brigade were both reported that the Japanese army in Gaoping County were wiped out, and they all wiped their cold sweat, glad that they did not go to reinforce the copper mine.
