Chapter seven hundred and sixty-one artillery attack

The next week, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas did not make any noise.

The commander and chief of staff of the First Fleet were both somewhat grateful, believing that Gao Jiu and others might have given up their attack plan on the military port and quietly evacuated.

There is a saying that you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it.

Gao Jiu is not a person who gave up halfway. Since the First Fleet challenged the dignity of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, this matter cannot be left unresolved.

With the combat effectiveness of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, even if the First Fleet has arranged heavy troops to defend around the port, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas can still invade and destroy the First Fleet's military port.

The guerrillas have fought many tough battles before. The Japanese field troops had stronger combat effectiveness than the navy's sailors, but they still could not resist the attacks of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

However, Gao Jiu could not do this. On the one hand, it was because this was the military port of the First Fleet. A large number of Japanese ships were anchored in the bay, with large-caliber artillery on it. If Gao Jiu and others forcefully launched an attack, they would easily be hit by naval guns, causing a large number of casualties from guerrillas, which would probably be inevitable.

On the other hand, this place is behind enemy lines. Although Gao Jiu reached a tacit understanding with the Japanese Kwantung Army, he could not guarantee that if they could not defeat the Japanese Navy's military port in a short period of time, would the Kwantung Army turn against each other and siege them behind their backs. Gao Jiu himself was not afraid. He would definitely be able to break out of the siege, but those guerrillas would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and Gao Jiu could not take this risk.

Gao Jiu has made up his mind to destroy the First Fleet's military port, so he is not in a hurry at this moment. Since the Japanese army has drawn so many troops and the defense of the military port has been strengthened and he has not shown up these days, so let them waste it there.

Gao Jiu decided to lead the guerrillas to leave Dalian temporarily and make plans when the Japanese army's defenses are relaxed.

Gao Jiu and others led the guerrillas to re-enter the defense zone of the Second Division. Gao Jingting, in accordance with Gao Jiu's request, took several special forces members to reconnaise the Wulashan Gold Mine. After returning, he reported the situation there to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu asked someone to connect to the military telephone line of the Second Division and called the commander of the Second Division.

A few hours later, the commander of the Second Division sent his new adjutant to meet Gao Jiu in a black car. After figuring out Gao Jiu's intention, he brought a codebook given to him by Gao Jiu and returned to the city. He reported on his meeting with Gao Jiu to the commander of the Second Division.

The new adjutant is the nephew of the commander of the Second Division, and his absolute confidant.

The adjutant said: "Uncle, Mr. Gao is going to attack the Wula Mountain Gold Mine and ask us to withdraw the defenders of the gold mine. He said that after robbing the gold mine, he will give you a part."

The commander of the Second Division smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. He didn't want to get too close to Gao Jiu.

The adjutant misunderstood his meaning and said, "Gao Jiu is too much. Isn't he causing trouble for uncle? He wants to get a gold mine, just go and get it yourself. Why should we notify us first?"

The commander of the Second Division said: "You don't know Gao Jiu, so you should actually thank Gao Jiu for this matter. The defenders at the Wula Mountain Gold Mine are just an infantry squadron and cannot stop Gao Jiu's guerrillas at all.

The reason why he notified us was to reduce some losses for us so that I would not be able to explain to the higher authorities. Forget it, the Wulashan Gold Mine is not the industry of our Second Division. If Gao Jiu wants to fight, let him fight."

The adjutant said: "Mr. Gao said that after he conquered the gold mine, he would be given a portion of the gold he received to you. Can he believe his words?"

The commander of the Second Division said: "Although Gao Jiu is a bandit, he is a trustworthy person. The things he promised never fail to fulfill.

If you secretly inform Captain Sakamoto about this matter, just do it according to Gao Jiu’s wishes.”

Not long after, the adjutant sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that the infantry squadron of the Wulashan Gold Mine had been withdrawn as he requested, and notified the surrounding Japanese troops not to rescue the Wulashan Gold Mine.

Gao Jiu was about to take the special forces to attack the Wulashan Gold Mine. Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui and others disagreed with Gao Jiu's going in person.

They knew that as long as Gao Jiu was safe and sound, even if they encountered danger, Gao Jiu would have a way to rescue them. Now, they did not trust the commander of the Second Division and were worried that there would be any conspiracy in this, and they all fought to fight the Ula Mountain Gold Mine instead of Gao Jiu.

In fact, there is really no need for Jiu to go there in person. In the end, Zhang Quan grabbed the task and took the special forces members of the two squadrons to the Wulashan Gold Mine.

Zhang Quan and others successfully built the gold mine, and according to Gao Jiu's request, they only took away the gold stored in the gold mine and released all the Japanese.

After Zhang Quan and others returned, Gao Jiu asked him to lead a team of guerrillas out of Shanhaiguan.

Among these guerrillas, there was a person with a figure and appearance similar to Gao Jiu. Zhang Quan accompanied him to publicly appear in a county town within the pass, creating the illusion that Gao Jiu had returned to the pass.

After the gold mine was captured, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the commander of the Second Division.

Not long after, the adjutant of the commander of the Second Division came to meet Gao Jiu again and received the gold that Gao Jiu promised to the commander of the Second Division.

On the way back to the division headquarters, the adjutant was in a very happy mood. Gao Jiu gave the second division commander five yuan per kilogram of gold ingots and 20 kilograms of gold sand this time.

The adjutant could be sure that the uncle would definitely give him a part of it, which was worth more than his salary for several years.

For the sake of these golds, the adjutant suddenly felt that he liked Gao Jiu a little.

These days, the commander and chief of staff of the First Fleet are still very nervous.

Gao Jiu and others did not appear for a long time, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance. They asked about the activities of Gao Jiu and others through various channels.

The news that Gao Jiu and others fought against the Wula Mountain Gold Mine soon reached their ears. The Wula Mountain Gold Mine was more than 500 kilometers away from the First Fleet's military port. It seemed that Gao Jiu and others had given up their conspiracy against the Navy's military port.

However, due to Gao Jiu's reputation, the Navy still dared not relax its vigilance.

Not long after, news of Gao Jiu's appearance in the pass also spread. Now, they can finally confirm that Gao Jiu has entered the pass.

The commander of the First Fleet finally breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the release of alert from the military port.

In the past half a month, the naval officers and soldiers have suffered a lot. They are guarding the fortifications day and night, unable to eat well or sleep well. Now they can finally return to the barracks, and everyone is very happy.

The news that the guards of the Navy Port returned to the barracks was received by Gao Jingting and others who had been watching them, and it reached Gao Jiu's ears.

Gao Jiu led the main force of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to Dalian again.

The commander of the First Fleet was in a good mood. The Japanese army, both the army and the air force, had no choice but to deal with Gao Jiu. The Navy had suffered Gao Jiu in the Coral Sea. It can be said that no one of the Japanese army defeated Gao Jiu. This time, the First Fleet publicly challenged Gao Jiu and confirmed that Gao Jiu had no choice but to retreat to the pass. This can be said to be a huge contribution.

The First Fleet reported this matter to the Admiralty, which greatly praised the achievements made by the First Fleet.

The Japanese army, navy and air force have always been deeply conflicted. The Japanese navy made a big fuss about this matter to suppress the Japanese army and air force. They made a lot of publicity in Japan through the media and established the commander of the First Fleet into a hero in the navy.

The commander of the First Fleet was very proud and prepared to hold a grand celebration banquet at the military port. They invited military and political officials from the areas outside the pass and sent an invitation letter to the Kwantung Army Command.

They knew that the Kwantung Army would not come to attend this cocktail party, and they did this just to disgust the Kwantung Army.

What they didn't know was that even if there was no conflict between the Kanto Army and the Japanese Navy, they would not come to attend this cocktail party. They knew very well that Gao Jiu would never give up, and they were all waiting to see jokes from the Japanese Navy.

That night, Gao Jiu and others came outside the Japanese military port. Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui and others led a large army of Taohuashan guerrillas to hide outside the military port and were ready to launch an attack on the military port at any time.

Gao Jiu led a dozen special forces team members with good water quality recruited from the south to climb the hillside south of the military port, and then went down from the mountain to the beach.

Each of these special forces members is wrapped around simple lifebuoys made of bicycle inner tubes. The buoyancy of these lifebuoys is not too great, just allowing people to float on the sea, but effectively reducing the resistance they have when swimming.

Gao Jiu didn't need a lifebuoy, so he took the lead in going into the sea and took the special forces members to swim into the military port.

The first Japanese fleet originally had two aircraft carriers, but there was no large-scale maritime combat mission here, so it was transferred to Southeast Asia.

The largest ship in the First Fleet is the Shingao Maru battleship.

The battleship has a displacement of 24,000 tons, with more than 160 large and small artillery guns on it. Because it has a deep draft and cannot dock on the dock, it is parked in the middle of the bay, about 900 meters away from the place where Gao Jiu and others were launched. The target of Gao Jiu and others is the Japanese battleship.

The sea was pitch black, and no one noticed that among the waves of the sea, a group of black shadows approached the battleship.

When he arrived near the bow of the battleship, Gao Jiu threw his flying claws upwards, grabbed the railings on the ship, and he climbed up first. Then the special forces members also climbed up one after another.

The crew of this battleship was 3,590. At this time, the warship was docked in the military port, and most of the people went ashore to move into the barracks, and about one hundred people remained on the ship.

With his magical infrared function, Gao Jiu first discovered the observation post on the warship and quietly shot him to death with a sniper rifle.

Then Gao Jiu touched the back of the main gun in front of the Japanese naval gun and killed the duty officer inside.

Gao Jiu did not intend to destroy all the Japanese and puppet troops in this warship. This warship was too big, and he and the guerrillas could not do this at all.

The special forces members occupied the commanding heights of the bow part and were ready to block the Japanese sailors on the warships.

Gao Jiu and two special forces members entered the turret of a triple-mounted front main gun, turned on the power, and activated the front main gun.

The front main gun of this battleship is 340mm caliber, and a shell weighs several hundred kilograms, which cannot be loaded by manual labor.

The device for loading shells was semi-mechanized. Gao Jiu commanded two special forces members to load the shells. He controlled the cannon and first aimed the muzzle at another battleship parked not far away.

Gao Jiu signaled the special forces to cover their ears and pressed the button hard.

With a "boom", three shells flew out of the muzzle. Since they were fired almost at the same time, there was only one sound.

Three huge shells crashed into another battleship that was only 150 meters away, and directly hit the middle of the battleship.

Gao Jiu and others seized the time to fill the shells. The second row of shells hit him, and once again entered the middle of the battleship, and blasted the battleship into two pieces. The bow and stern of the battleship were raised upwards and soon sank.

The sound of shell explosion alarmed the Japanese army in the military port, and alarm sounded everywhere, and a group of people were in chaos in the military port.

Gao Jiu and others loaded the shells and went to shell out other Japanese warships parked on the docks. Each row of shells hit, and one warship was sunk.

The Japanese sailors who stayed on duty at Shintamaru came out of the cabin and rushed to the bow to regain the front main artillery. The special forces members who were ambushing the bow used submachine guns to block the Japanese sailors' way forward and protect Gao Jiu and others to continue shelling.

Gao Jiu and others killed seven or eight Japanese warships in one breath, and then turned the muzzle to the Japanese barracks behind the dock.

The power of the naval guns was too great. A row of shells hit him and an office building of the Japanese army was completely destroyed.

The shells exploded in the barracks, and the buildings were torn to pieces like paper.

There were many Japanese ships parked in the military port. When they woke up, they also fired fire at the battleship one after another.

Soon several shells hit the turret where Gao Jiu and others were located.

The front main gun of the Shingao Maru is very thick in armor, and the artillery of other Japanese ships has relatively small caliber. If it were not directly hit by the turret, the people inside would not be affected.

Gao Jiu didn't dare to take risks. He knew that at such a close distance, the Japanese army kept correcting the shooting of the turrets, and sooner or later they would hit the turret.

Seeing that the blow to the Japanese army was already very heavy, he gave up on the shelling and led the special forces members to the other side in the direction of the enemy ship's shelling. While suppressing the Japanese sailors, he lowered a lifeboat.
