Before leaving, Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan looked at the dozen or so of the puppet Manchukuo prisoners, preparing to educate them and release them.

Wang Zhankui said: "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to us."

Gao Jiu and others came outside the customs this time to carry out important tasks. They were unwilling to reveal their whereabouts, and these traitors could not let go.

Ning Wu understood what Wang Zhankui said. Gao Jiu and others escorted Guan Tieshan and the others away. Ning Wu led some special forces members to fall behind a few steps, dealt with the puppet soldiers, and then followed.

After arriving at the secret camp of the third battalion, Gao Jiu left them with a portion of the Japanese military tickets and offered to say goodbye again.

Huang Rui had already discussed with Guan Tieshan on the way, and they also hoped to take advantage of Gao Jiu and Taohuashan guerrillas here to help them open up the situation of the anti-Japanese struggle in this area.

Huang Rui said: "Jiu Master, you have also seen that the environment for our struggle against the enemy here is very cruel. Although the Third Battalion has a large number of weapons and ammunition, it is very difficult to mobilize the masses to join the Third Battalion. Can you help us capture a group tribe and liberate the people there?"

Gao Jiu was precious in time and didn't plan to stay here, but when he saw Guan Tieshan and others' expectant gazes, he couldn't bear to refuse them.

So he said, "Okay. Let's stay here for another two days. If you are familiar with the situation here, let's introduce it first."

The "Group Tribe" was one of the atrocities in Japan's war of aggression against China. In order to cut off the logistics supply of the anti-Japanese armed forces outside the pass and isolate their bases from the villagers, the Japanese army designed the "Group Tribe" to force the villagers to move them, supply villagers in a quantitative manner, and set up a tight blockade line.

After the September 18th Incident, outside the pass, the anti-Japanese movement was in turmoil. Between the white mountains and black waters, anti-Japanese athletes from all over the place continued to actively attack the Japanese invaders. Although the Japanese invaders were strong and they cruelly suppressed the anti-Japanese armed forces, many anti-Japanese armed forces still persisted, especially the anti-Japanese armed forces led by the underground party.

With the support of the general public, they dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops, and once continued to grow and grow during the battle.

Fish cannot be separated from water. The vast majority of people are rivers, lakes and seas. The anti-Japanese armed forces are fish in the water. The Japanese invaders cannot do anything to the anti-Japanese armed forces fighting bravely without using all kinds of means.

However, since the Japanese invaders implemented the group tribe, the vast majority of the people were encircled, and the anti-Japanese armed forces were separated from the masses. Without the support of the masses, the anti-Japanese armed forces immediately fell into trouble. Not only did the intelligence fail, the soldiers could not be replenished, the wounded could not be resettled, and all supplies were cut off.

The anti-Japanese soldiers had to attack the strong defense bases of the Japanese and puppets for a bullet and a grain of rice. Without the need for supplementary purposes, the anti-Japanese soldiers sacrificed one less, and the surging anti-Japanese movement quickly fell to a low point. Later, the situation became more and more serious, and most of the anti-Japanese armed forces gradually could not support it.

The same is true for the Third Battalion. From the original time to more than 500 people, now there are only less than 30 people left. If we hadn't happened to meet Gao Jiu and others today, the Third Battalion would have completely disappeared from now on.

Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan hope that Gao Jiu and others would help them to conquer a group tribe in this area and liberate the villagers. The third battalion would be able to obtain replenishment of soldiers and food, and develop and grow again.

Gao Jiu agreed and asked Huang Rui, Guan Tieshan and others to lead the way, personally go to a nearby group tribe for reconnaissance, and then discussed with Guan Tieshan and others to formulate a combat plan to attack the group tribe.

Just as everyone was preparing to take action, the special forces members who were on guard duty near the camp reported that a large number of Japanese and puppet troops were found on the edge of the mountain forest, and these Japanese and puppet troops were searching the mountains.

It is obvious that the Japanese and puppet troops who came to encircle and suppress the Lao Third Battalion had an accident, and they came to find Lao Third Battalion to take revenge.

Gao Jiu has already gained a general understanding of the enemy situation in this area through Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan. The Japanese army in this area are all garrison troops, the main force is a garrison brigade, as well as the Japanese crusade team, military police team, and a regiment of the puppet Manchukuo Army, and some puppet police forces.

The last time they were eaten was a battalion of the Puppet Manchukuo Army and a Japanese infantry squadron. Based on these situations, it can be judged that the number of Japanese and puppet troops coming to take revenge will not be too many. Even if all the Japanese and puppet troops here are added together, it is nothing to the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Gao Jiu decided to attack the Japanese and puppet troops here first. If he could eat up most of the Japanese and puppet troops and attack the group tribe next, it would be much easier.

The third battalion was very familiar with the situation in this area, so Gao Jiu asked them to lead the members of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to monitor the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops entering the mountain.

Soon after, the situation was reported one after another. This time, the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched two infantry squadrons, a crusade team, and the other two battalions of the Puppet Manchukuo Army regiment also came out. A police force from Baolin County was also cooperating with their operations.

Due to the destruction of the entire Japanese and puppet troops last time, these Japanese and puppet troops were not clear about the situation and came to search for the missing Japanese and puppet troops.

These Japanese and puppet troops were divided into two teams to search the mountains, and the two teams were more than ten miles apart, which provided a favorable fighter for Gao Jiu and others to defeat the enemy one by one.

After discussion, Gao Jiu and others formulated a combat plan, first attacking the Japanese and puppet troops that were close to the secret camp of the third battalion.

Guan Tieshan and his brothers from the Third Battalion hid on the hillside, watched the Japanese and puppet troops coming over at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly launched an attack on them.

In order to confuse the enemy, they did not use the seized machine guns and mortars, and only a few of the soldiers fired at the enemy, and the gunshots seemed very messy.

The Japanese and puppet troops encountered a sudden attack, and seven or eight Japanese soldiers were shot and fell down. The Japanese commander knew that the third battalion was operating in this area, and it can be judged from the gunfire that their number was almost gone.

The Japanese and puppet troops were worried that they could not find the third battalion, so they attacked in the direction of the gunshot.

Guan Tieshan and the brothers of the Lao San Battalion fought and retreated, crossed the small hill where they were, and then drilled into a wide valley.

The Japanese and puppet troops chased each other and followed them into the valley. The front end of the valley was wider and narrower the more they went inside. The terrain here looked quite dangerous and was easily ambushed by the enemy. However, the Japanese commander believed that there were only so many people left in the third battalion and there was no extra force to set up ambush.

Besides, they finally found their traces, but of course they refused to give up, so they chased after them regardless of their lives.

The officers and soldiers of the third battalion ran and suddenly stopped, hiding behind the rocks in the valley to block the Japanese and puppet troops.

After the Japanese and puppet troops encountered a blockade, the ones running in front stopped and went to shoot at each other with Guan Tieshan and others. The Japanese and puppet troops behind gradually leaned forward and gathered together.

When the Japanese commander was organizing troops to set up artillery and preparing to launch an attack, a large number of muzzles suddenly stretched out on both sides of the valley, and violently spitting out flames at the Japanese and puppet troops.

Some of the guerrillas used machine guns and some used submachine guns. The fierce firepower made the Japanese and puppet soldiers overturned, and most of them were killed on the spot.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops were panicked and searched for cover to fight back. The special forces and the officers and soldiers of the third battalion were accurate in shooting skills and killed them one by one.

A few minutes later, most of the Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out, leaving only more than twenty Japanese soldiers hiding behind a rock. Due to the unfavorable terrain, the guerrillas were unable to get close to it for the time being.

Guan Tieshan asked the brothers of the third battalion to set up mortars and prepare to launch artillery attacks on the enemy.

Wang Zhankui reached out to stop Guan Tieshan and said to him: "No need to be so troublesome, leave it to Master Jiu."

The brothers of Guan Tieshan and Lao San Battalion were all puzzled. They saw that the group of Japanese soldiers were 140 or 50 meters away from here, and they didn't know what method Gao Jiu would do to destroy them.

Gao Jiu picked up the grenade and threw it directly at the place where the Japanese soldiers were hiding. He threw out five or six grenades in one breath, and the grenades exploded in the air above the rocks hidden by the Japanese soldiers. Soon, the Japanese soldiers stopped moving.

Gao Jiu's magical performance made Guan Tieshan and others stunned. They had heard of Gao Jiu's power, but they thought it was just a little better than ordinary people. They really didn't expect that Gao Jiu could accurately cast his grenade over the target at such a long distance. This was simply not done by manpower.

Guan Tieshan touched his head and couldn't help but say, "Master Jiu, you are so awesome."

The battle here ended, and a large amount of weapons and ammunition were seized, and of course they were all given to the Third Battalion.

Guan Tieshan and others were so happy that they didn't know what to say. They found that it was so good to fight with the Taohuashan guerrillas. After destroying so many Japanese and puppet troops, two of the brothers of the Lao San Battalion were slightly injured when they were luring the enemy. None of the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the brothers of the Lao San Battalion died.

Guan Tieshan and the brothers of the Lao Third Battalion became addicted and immediately asked to annihilate another Japanese and puppet army.

Gao Jiu agreed happily and led the special operations squadron and the brothers of the third battalion to use the same tactics to eliminate other Japanese and puppet troops. This time the battle still had no casualties.

Seeing such a great victory, Huang Rui asked excitedly: "Jiu Master, what should I do next?"

Gao Jiu looked at Guan Tieshan and the soldiers of the Third Battalion under his command and asked, "Are you tired? If you are not tired, let's go and fight another battle."

The brothers of the Third Battalion had a strong tolerance. At this moment, they had eaten and drank enough, and were inspired by the joy of victory, and they had no feeling of fatigue at all. They all said that there was no problem and could fight continuously.

Gao Jiu said: "That's good. Let's attack the group tribe now while the Japanese and puppet troops have not yet reacted."

A large group tribe was established at the mouth of Sancha River. The Japanese invaders drove the people from more than 30 villages around them, with a number of more than 10,000 people.

The group tribe has not many troops, with half a squad of more than 30 people, one of the Japanese army, one of the puppet troops, and one of the puppet police squadrons, more than 80 people. The reason why the third battalion is difficult to capture the group tribe is that, in addition to the fact that the third battalion has too few troops and the group tribe is relatively close to the county town. Once the battle starts, the Japanese and puppet troops in the city will be able to quickly come over to reinforce, the most important thing is that its own defense system is relatively complete.

A very wide and deep blockade ditch was dug around the group tribe, and the in and out was surrounded by suspension bridges. A wide and thick earth wall was built around the group tribe. Although it was only made of rammed earth, it was nearly 10 meters thick and there were carriages on the top of the wall.

Not only can the top of the wall be used for defense, but some parts of the middle and upper sections of the wall are still hollow, and it is difficult to dig a gun hole on the outer wall.

The Third Battalion once had a successful record of winning a group tribe, because they sent people into the group tribe in advance and achieved success when the battle started.

Later, the Japanese and puppet troops learned lessons and strengthened personnel identification. The third battalion could only rely on strong attacks. As a result, not only did not capture the group tribe but suffered a great loss, but was almost surrounded and annihilated by the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops coming out of the city.

Now Gao Jiu and his team are precious in time and don’t have time to use other tactics, they can only rely on strong attacks.

Although Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan were hoping that Gao Jiu could help them capture the group tribe, they also solicited Gao Jiu's opinions and truthfully introduced the defense situation of the group tribe. If Gao Jiu felt embarrassed, they would not force it.

Seeing Gao Jiu taking the initiative to attack the group tribe, Guan Tieshan also reminded Gao Jiu again about the difficulties in attacking the group tribe.

Gao Jiu agreed readily without any embarrassment.

The members of the Taohuashan Guerrillas provided some horses. Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan led the brothers from the Third Battalion to lead the way and came to the group tribe at Sanchahekou.

After observing the situation, Gao Jiu asked: "Capital Commander Guan, are you planning to build this group tribe or to defeat all the group tribes in this area?"

Guan Tieshan said: "Of course it's best to beat them all."

Huang Rui said: "Master Gao Jiu, of course we hope this is the case, but don't you have a lot of things to deal with? Can't you stay here for a long time?"

Gao Jiu said: "It won't take long. I have a plan now. Do you think it's OK?"

Huang Rui said, "Please speak with Master Jiu."

After Gao Jiu finished talking about his plan, Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan were both excited. Huang Rui said, "Master Jiu, this is really great. We completely agree with your plan."

Not long after, Gao Jiu and others also changed into plainclothes, surrounded the group tribe from all sides with the brothers of the third battalion, and then launched an attack on the group tribe.
