Chapter 900 Borrowing a Car
It turned out that when the adjutant of Togo Yoshino was about to enter the Tai'an territory, he sent a telegram to Togo Yoshino.
Yoshino Donggo was very happy, but he was still a little worried. Although Gao Jiu and others attacked the Japanese convoy outside Qingdao City, it means that they were in Qingdao and it was almost impossible to quickly reach Tai'an City.
However, Togo Yoshino was still worried. He always felt that Gao Jiu was elusive and could not be dealt with in normal circumstances.
He repeatedly considered that in order to prevent Gao Jiu from really discovering the real where the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops were going, he came to chase and intercept them. He issued an order to the 142nd Division of the Japanese army, asking them to send troops to intercept the road leading to Tai'an City in Qingdao and on the surrounding roads.
The Japanese army on this bridge is one of the Japanese troops responsible for intercepting them. Not to mention, Yoshino's caution played a great role. If Gao Jiu and others want to pass through this bridge quickly, they must go through a fierce battle. Regardless of whether Gao Jiu and others can quickly annihilate the Japanese troops guarding the bridge, their whereabouts will definitely be exposed. The convoy escorting the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply forces may change the direction of the march on the way after receiving the notice. It will add greater difficulties to accurately grasp their whereabouts.
Gao Jiu and others stopped about 1km from the bridgehead. He personally led people to the bridgehead for reconnaissance and found that the Japanese army guarding the bridge had an infantry squadron, and they were very vigilant. It was extremely difficult to quickly annihilate the Japanese army.
After Gao Jiu came back, he checked the map again and found that if he wanted to cross this river, there was only this bridge. If he wanted to pass another bridge, he had to go around more than a hundred kilometers, and he couldn't guarantee whether the bridge was guarded by the Japanese army. It was obvious that it was impossible for Gao Jiu and others to arrive in Tai'an City in time to meet Huang Shuigen and others.
Wang Zhankui and others were also stunned when they saw this situation and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Everyone was used to looking at Gao Jiu and waiting for his decision.
Gao Jiu said to Jia Liu: "Record the content of the telegram."
Jia Liu was ready immediately.
Gao Jiu said: "Second leader, you immediately lead a squadron of Taohuashan guerrillas with chemical defense equipment and flamethrowers to fly to Tai'an on a transport plane, airborne in the southeast of Mawang Town, contact Huang Shuigen's troops, and set up an ambush on the highway."
After dictating the content of the telegram, he said to everyone: "According to the current situation, I am the only one who can arrive at Tai'an City in advance. The third leader, don't go to Tai'an City this time, go directly to Jinan to find Bao Yuchun, hide it near Jinan first, and go to Jinan to find you when I come back from Tai'an. The Japanese are going to kill this time, so let's help them." After that, Gao Jiu rode his horse alone towards the downstream of the river.
The reason why Gao Jiu had to go to Tai'an City alone this time was because others could not keep up with his actions at all. After crossing the river, no horses could be caught up with Gao Jiu when he ran.
Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others all wanted to go with Gao Jiu, but they also knew that in this situation, their skills would only cause trouble for Jiu Ye.
Gao Jiu quickly ran to the riverside. He gave up his war horse and went down the river bank. He didn't even take off his clothes. He jumped into the river and swam to the other side of the river.
After crossing the river, Gao Jiu ran wildly towards the direction of the highway.
On the road, a black car was driving. Suddenly, a man rushed out of the roadside and stood in the middle of the road. He aimed at the car with a sniper rifle in his hand and signaled the car to stop.
The people in the car did not dare to resist when they saw this situation, so they stopped the car obediently.
Gao Jiu came over and ordered the people in the car to get off.
Two people got out of the car, one was the driver, and the person who got out of the back seat was a middle-aged man dressed very well, looking like a wealthy businessman.
When they saw Gao Jiu holding a weapon, they seemed a little scared.
Gao Jiu said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, but I have an urgent matter and need to borrow your car. I just borrow it temporarily and will return it to you in the future." After that, Gao Jiu took out a big yellow croaker from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand and said that he believed him and didn't need him to pay. It was obvious that he was very scared. He didn't ask Gao Jiu's origin, and he didn't know where to find him in the future and wanted to return to his car.
Gao Jiu knew that he was afraid and said kindly: "I am Gao Jiu from Taohua Mountain. You can go to Taohua Mountain or Shoucheng County to find me. As long as you mention my name, I promise to return it to you."
Gao Jiu said, stuffing the big yellow croaker into his hand and continued, "If this car is damaged, I will compensate you for a new one."
When the middle-aged man heard that the person in front of him was actually Gao Jiu, the famous Taohua Mountain, and hurriedly said, "It turns out it is Mr. Gao. I can't ask for this money, and I don't want the car anymore. Even if I make contributions to the fight against Japan." After that, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gao Jiu, and at the same time handed the big yellow croaker over.
Gao Jiu was in a hurry to go, but he only took the business card and said, "Thank you very much for your support in the fight against Japan. I'm so sorry. I have something urgent now, so I'll talk to you later." After that, Gao Jiu drove away.
The middle-aged man watched Gao Jiu go away, and seemed to have not recovered from the shock yet, and remained silent there.
The driver said, "Master, is this person really the famous Taohua Mountain Gao Jiu Master?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It must be yes. I have seen photos in his newspaper, and this is what he looks like."
After saying that, he shook the big yellow croaker in his hand and said, "The one who can do this must be Mr. Gao."
The driver said, "Master, when will we go to find Mr. Gao Jiu to ask for that car?"
The middle-aged man said, "No, it is our honor to be able to do something for the famous Mr. Gao."
The driver asked, "Master, what should we do now?"
The middle-aged man said, "You stop a car on the road, and we will give them more money and just take a ride."
Gao Jiu drove all the way and really met a Japanese convoy on the road. There were several civilian trucks mixed in the Japanese convoy. This should be the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply force.
Gao Jiu speeded up the train, surpassed the Japanese convoy, and continued to drive towards Tai'an City.
The Japanese convoy was occupied by Japan. People were common in the movement of Japanese convoys, and vehicles would pass by from time to time on the road. The convoys generally had slow speeds, so the convoys with vehicles that exceeded the Japanese army did not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army never dreamed that the famous Gao Jiu was in the car that had just surpassed their convoy.
Gao Jiu had already passed the telegram with Huang Shuigen and others to know the area where they were ambushing. He drove along the way. When he passed by a hilly area, he changed to a country road and drove about 100 meters, and then stopped.
Huang Shuigen, Zhang Quan and others had already arrived here in ambush in advance. When they saw a car coming from the side of the road, they kept watching. When the car stopped, they were very surprised to see the person coming out of the car.
Immediately, a guerrilla team stood up from the ambush and ran towards Gao Jiu.
Gao Jiu followed the guerrillas to the temporary command center set up by Huang Shuigen, Zhang Quan and others. Zhang Quan and Huang Shuigen hurriedly came out.
"Justice Jiu, you are here. If you don't come, we really don't know how to deal with the Japanese biological and chemical weapons forces."
Zhang Quan said happily: "Where are the three leaders of the country?"
Gao Jiu said: "Brother Zhan Kui and others were stopped by the Japanese, so I came by myself. I had already seen the Japanese convoy on the road. I am sure that the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops are in that convoy, and they will come in about half an hour."
After saying that, Gao Jiu squatted down, picked up a branch and drew it on the ground.
Zhang Quan, Huang Shuigen and others also squatted on the ground with Gao Jiu.
Gao Jiu drew the shape of the Japanese convoy, drew a circle in the middle of the convoy, and said: "The Japanese convoy is escorted in front and behind, and the vehicles transporting the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops are in this position.
After the Japanese convoy arrives, Brigade Commander Huang, your troops are responsible for attacking the Japanese cover troops. The second leader is responsible for attacking the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops.
We don’t know what supplies the Army’s epidemic prevention and water supply forces transported, but there must be dangerous goods, perhaps extremely contagious bacterial weapons or other chemical weapons. No matter what, they cannot be used.
Therefore, after the battle started, the Taohuashan guerrillas had to quickly approach the convoy where the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops were located regardless of casualties. Except for the snipers who were responsible for attacking the Japanese army that could be seen, no one else was allowed to fire at those vehicles to avoid the leakage of toxic substances. After approaching the Japanese civilian vehicles, they were directly burned with flamethrowers.
Are the tasks clear?"
Zhang Quan and Huang Shuigen both nodded and said, "I'm clear, Master Jiu."
Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese convoy will come soon. Tell the troops to prepare for combat."
According to Gao Jiu's introduction, along the highway, Huang Shuigen led the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade to ambush at both ends of the ambush position. Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan and others led the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to ambush in the middle section.
Gao Jiu personally told the snipers how to choose targets after the battle started, and specifically told the gunners of the 82mm recoilless gun that after the battle started, they would first destroy the Japanese escort troops at both ends of the Japanese civilian vehicles, and then shoot at both sides, and separate the Japanese cover troops from the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply troops as much as possible.
After everyone understood Gao Jiu's intention, they took their place and prepared for the battle.
Thirty-two minutes later, the Japanese convoy appeared. They saw that the nearby terrain was relatively complicated, so the convoy stopped.
Three motorcycles and a truck full of Japanese soldiers drove over first, and they stopped on the road. The soldiers got out of the car and searched for both sides of the road.
All this was expected by Gao Jiu and others. The place where they were ambushing was about 150 meters away from the highway. The Japanese army only searched a few dozen meters on both sides of the highway, but could not see anything abnormal, so they returned to the highway and got on the bus and continued to move forward.
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese convoy drove over.
When the guerrillas saw the Japanese army in charge of the search back on the road, they immediately hugged in the direction of the road and quickly approached, and entered the ambush position before the Japanese convoy passed.
Gao Jiu raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the Japanese truck following behind the Japanese civilian vehicles. He shot him and killed the Japanese driver. The truck stopped immediately.
After hearing Gao Jiu's gunshots, two guerrilla snipers also knocked off the Japanese driver of the truck in front of the civilian vehicle, forcing it to stop too.
The guerrilla gunners took the opportunity to aim at the two Japanese trucks. Before the Japanese soldiers on the truck jumped out of the truck, they directly used 82mm recoilless cannons to blow the two trucks into two balls of fireballs.
The guerrilla machine gunners fired violently at the Japanese army at both ends of the civilian convoy, preventing them from approaching the convoy carrying the Japanese epidemic prevention and water supply forces.
Just after Gao Jiu fired his gun, Huang Shuigen commanded the officers and soldiers of the Independent Brigade to open fire violently at the cover of the Japanese army.
After Gao Jiu fired the gun, he briefly observed the situation on the battlefield.
In order to be foolproof, he personally carried a flamethrower and rushed to the highway with the guerrillas.
After the Japanese army, who were responsible for escorting, was attacked, and reacted from the initial panic. While organizing troops to counterattack the officers and soldiers who attacked their independent brigade, they also distributed some of the troops to rescue the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply forces.
However, they were blocked by the fierce firepower of the guerrilla light machine guns and submachine guns on both sides of the civilian vehicles, and they were simply unreliable.
The adjutant of Yoshino Togo was frightened all the way. After meeting with the Japanese army's support troops, a suspended heart finally came to rest. Due to the high tension on the road, he felt very tired. When the battle started, he was sitting in the truck and napping. The truck stopped suddenly, and his head hit the car window, and a big bag suddenly appeared.
He didn't care about the pain and looked out through the car window and saw that the guerrillas were rushing towards him.
He quickly looked forward, hoping that the Japanese army would come to rescue the cover task. However, he saw that the Japanese army had been blocked by the enemy's firepower, and it was impossible for them to come to rescue in a short time.
Seeing the guerrillas rushing closer, he suddenly panicked.
At this moment, he really didn't know what to do. He was not familiar with the epidemic prevention and water supply force, and he didn't know how to use those weapons. He instinctively felt that he could not use them here, otherwise, the first one who was unlucky would be himself.
