Gao Hong is from an underground party and has rich underground work experience. He has served as the captain of the anti-traitor team. He is good at leading small troops to carry out assassination, sneak attacks and other tasks. He lacks the experience of leading and organizing large-scale military struggles. Li Qiang is even an ordinary peasant and is slightly lacking compared to Gao Hong. At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas was similar to that when Jiang Xiaomei and the others had just expanded to 100 people, and even slightly worse, because Jiang Xiaomei's guerrillas have been fighting with Gao Jiu since their establishment. They have learned a lot of military common sense and guerrilla tactics with him. The county brigade, which started with more than a dozen people, has now grown into an independent battalion with strong combat power.

Gao Hong and Li Qiang both hope that Gao Jiu can take them out to fight, learn from his experience in military command, and improve the overall Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas.

Level of combat effectiveness.

When Gao Hong and Li Qiang heard Gao Jiu's question, Gao Hong and Li Qiang knew that Gao Jiu had agreed to their request, and both of them were very happy.

Li Qiang was more familiar with the enemy situation in this area. He said: "Jiu Master, I don't know which target is more suitable. I will tell you about the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops I know. Please help me choose one."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "Call your backbones and discuss together to help them improve their technical and tactical skills, as well as their organizational and leadership skills."

"Hey, Master Jiu, you are still considerate." Li Qiang said happily. Then he asked the correspondent to call everyone above the team leader.

Gao Jiu had never seen Fang Zhongshan, and he asked, "Where is Fang Zhongshan?"

After Fang Zhongshan helped Gao Jiu rescue Gao Hong, he followed Gao Hong to Xiaowangzhuang and waited for Gao Jiu to come and go to Taohua Mountain with him.

Gao Hong said: "He has an old uncle in Sangang Village not far away! I went to see him yesterday and should be back today."

The backbone of the guerrillas came. The conditions in the house were simple. Some of them sat on the kang, and some were on long benches. Those who had no place to sit stood in the house.

Gao Hong said, "Comrades! Everyone has heard of the great victory that Jiu Ye fought. The battle was so exciting. Today, Jiu Ye came to us. He has agreed to take us to fight a battle so that we can learn more. Now, we welcome Jiu Ye to give instructions with warm applause."

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow." There was warm applause in the room. Most of the backbone of the guerrillas had fought with Gao Jiu. The battle was so exciting at that time. I heard that I could go to the war with Gao Jiu again, and everyone looked at Gao Jiu with eager eyes.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Brothers! We are all old friends, we have fought together, we can be considered old comrades-in-arms, and you are all very capable. I remember that the guerrillas had only about 30 people. In such a short time, you formed such a large team, which is amazing."

Everyone was very happy to receive Gao Jiu's praise. Li Qiang quickly said modestly: "If you hadn't brought us a few victories, we had learned some skills, otherwise, we would not have been today."

Gao Jiu originally wanted to talk about guerrilla tactics to the backbone of the guerrilla brigade, but he suddenly found that it was not easy to talk about. These guerrillas were basically uneducated and were directly taught theories. The effect was not great, and they had to explain them in combination with the examples. However, these people could not fight the battles they fought, and if they told them, they might harm them.

He thought about it carefully and felt that if he should not talk about these empty theories, he would take them to fight and explain them while fighting, so that they would not only be free from understanding, but also have a deep impression.

He said: "You are all junior commanders now. I believe that as the guerrillas grow, you will have to bear greater responsibilities in the future and serve as intermediate and senior commanders. As a commander, the most important thing is to be good at using your brain. The most basic quality is to be aware of your opponent and your self.

The so-called confidant means to understand the technical and tactical level of each commander and fighter in the army, including the personality characteristics of each person, and be able to understand what kind of performance they will perform on the battlefield, so as to understand the overall combat effectiveness of your own force, be clear about it, and when choosing combat goals, choose goals within your ability as much as possible, avoid losses caused by reckless actions, and be easier to win.

Therefore, you should contact the troops more often, talk to the soldiers more heart-to-heart talks with them, and be familiar with them as if you are familiar with yourself.

The so-called knowledge of the enemy means to understand as much as possible about the chosen combat target. It not only needs to understand the enemy's military deployment and the terrain environment they are in, but also understand their equipment and training level, as well as the combat experience formed by their past experiences, but also understand the character characteristics of the enemy's commander and master the enemy's comprehensive strength, so that they can make accurate judgments and formulate correct battles and combat plans.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Don’t be afraid of hard work. The more familiar you are with the situation between the enemy and us, the better. The higher the degree of knowing yourself and the enemy, the easier it is to reduce mistakes when fighting.

Now, please ask Captain Li to talk about the enemy situation around you. We will choose an appropriate combat target based on the specific circumstances of the enemy and us.

In short, this battle is for you, from the choice of targets, pre-war reconnaissance, formulating combat plans, to the implementation of combat, to the safe evacuation after combat, you will do everything. I am just a staff officer to make suggestions for you. We will summarize the experience and lessons while fighting. Only in this way can everyone grow up as soon as possible.”

Gao Hong said: "Comrades, Master Jiu is really considering it very thoughtful. Master Jiu personally guided this battle. This is a rare learning opportunity. Everyone must study hard, remember it carefully, and ask Master Jiu for advice to increase our ability to fight the enemy."

Li Qiang introduced the enemy situation around the Ruifeng Mountain Guerrilla Brigade. Within 50 kilometers here, there were three Japanese and puppet troops strongholds. After everyone's discussion, the Dadongzhuang stronghold was finally selected as the target.

The Dadongzhuang stronghold is located between Ruifeng County and Xiaowangzhuang, 42 miles away from Ruifeng County and 33 miles away from Xiaowangzhuang. Inside is a Japanese army's Propaganda Group, six Japanese devils, and half a squadron of the puppet army, about 50 puppet troops.

After the target was selected, Gao Jiu decided to personally lead the guerrilla brigade and the backbone of the squad leader to investigate the enemy situation. After the enemy situation was clarified, the backbone of the guerrilla brigade would discuss together and formulate an appropriate combat plan.

Gao Hong, Li Qiang and the backbone of the guerrillas were all very happy that they could carry out a complete combat operation under the guidance of Jiu Ye, which could enrich their experience and improve their combat command capabilities.

The next morning, Gao Jiu took the backbone of the Ruifeng Mountain Guerrilla Brigade, and even Gao Hong was riding a cart and followed them to reconnaissance the enemy situation.

In order to have plenty of time to understand the enemy situation, they got up early this morning and set off at 5:00 in the morning. At 9:30, they arrived near the Dadongzhuang stronghold.

When they could see the artillery tower in the stronghold from afar, a guerrilla soldier who was sent to the front station ran back. He said with a strange expression: "Report to Master Jiu, the Japanese and puppet troops in the Dadongzhuang stronghold ran away, and even the landlord Lao Cai in the village ran away."

Everyone was surprised to hear this. The home of the captain of the puppet security army brigade is here. Therefore, the Dadongzhuang stronghold is very strong. The security army troops stationed here are also the most equipped and most combat-effective troops in the security army brigade of Ruifeng County. Moreover, because the hometown of the security army brigade is here, if something goes wrong here, the security army brigade will definitely lead a brigade of troops to rescue.

With the existing strength of the Ruifeng County Guerrilla Brigade, he had no ability to attack the Dadongzhuang stronghold in the past. This time, because Gao Jiu came, he chose this place as the combat target.

Unexpectedly, before the battle was fought, the Japanese and the puppet troops ran away.

No one knew what was going on, so he decided to go into the village to find out.

After arriving in the village, I asked some villagers in the village. Those who knew the situation said that the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold heard that the Taohua Mountain bandit Gao Jiu might have come here, so they retreated to the county town overnight. The family of the captain of the Public Security Army Brigade followed him to the county town, and some rich landlords Lao Cai also ran away.

Gao Jiu felt a little depressed, and the backbone of the guerrillas looked at Gao Jiu with awe. They had a total of more than 100 people from a guerrilla brigade, and they didn't dare to come to fight the Japanese and puppet troops here head-on. Unexpectedly, they just heard that Gao Jiu might come here, but they were so scared that they ran away. Jiu Ye was so powerful that the Japanese and puppet troops were frightened.

Gao Jiu also understood a little. This should be because the Japanese and puppet troops in Ruifeng County received a notice from Jinan City that they might have been here and retracted their troops back to the county town.

Gao Jiu was right. Although Hamada Yoshihiro decided not to deal with matters related to Gao Jiu for the time being, Gao Jiu was a lingering demon in his mind. He remembered that after Gao Jiu left the city last time, there was a lot of noise outside the city. So he asked someone to notify the military police teams of the surrounding counties to let them be wary of Gao Jiu.

Seeing this, Gao Jiu saw that the situation here was similar, and he estimated that the Japanese and puppet troops in other strongholds were also similar. He said: "Captain Gao, Captain Li, you send someone to the other strongholds to see. If this is the case, let's discuss what to do?"

Li Qiang arranged for people to go to other Japanese and puppet troops to investigate.

At noon, the people sent to investigate came back one after another. As expected, all the Japanese and puppet troops around ran to the county town.

It turned out that last time Gao Jiu led Li Qiang's district squadron to capture two Japanese and puppet troops including Yanggezhuang, and also attacked Taoxi River gold mine, which left a deep impression on the captain of the Ruifeng County Military Police Team.

After receiving the notice, he specially asked his fellow villagers in Jinan City to inquire about what happened in Jinan City. He learned that Gao Jiuda made a fuss in Jinan City. There were so many Japanese in the city, and the puppet army had no choice but to deal with others. What's more, he had heard of Gao You's many deeds before. The 128th Brigade, which had a strong combat power, was killed by others. His small military police team was not his opponent.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses and strengthen the defense of the county town, he notified all the surrounding strongholds and retreated all his troops into the county town.

At this time, in the county town, the Japanese military police, the security army brigade, the puppet police brigade, the security teams of the surrounding towns, and the landlords and Laocai who fled into the city, the number of people who could mobilize to defend the city exceeded 1,000, so the captain of the military police felt a little relieved.

Gao Jiu originally wanted to take the guerrillas to fight a small battle and talk about guerrilla tactics to the backbone of the guerrillas. However, he did not expect that the Japanese and puppet troops did not cooperate and disrupted Gao Jiu's plan.

Gao Jiu was furious and said, "Since that's the case, let's go to the county town."

Having said that, Gao Jiu would not act recklessly. He led the backbone of the guerrillas to circle the county town, carefully checked the surrounding terrain, looked at the route of attack and retreat, and then found people familiar with the situation in the county town in the surrounding villages, learned about the situation in the county town from them, and then sent a squadron leader to bring the guerrilla team over.

At 4:20 pm, the guerrilla brigade appeared outside the county town.

The officers and soldiers of the guerrilla brigade set up their formation and were about to attack the county town when they saw the gate of the county town open. Two plainclothes men came out from inside. They held white flags in their hands and walked towards the guerrilla brigade's position.

These two people were soon taken to Gao Jiu and others by guerrillas. They were both over fifty years old. They looked like gentry in the county. An old man with a gray beard that looked over 70 years old last year said, "Who is the famous Gao Jiu?"

Every time Gao Jiu met with outsiders, he would put on makeup. This time he had a beard, his eyebrows and eyes were decorated simply, and it seemed that he was much older than his actual age. He said, "I am, who are you? Why are you here for?"

The two old men looked at the tall and mighty man in front of them, and both looked shocked. The old man with a gray beard said, "It turns out that you are the master of Gao Jiu. You have heard of him for a long time and are well-known. When you see him today, you are indeed a talented person and a heroic spirit."

Gao Jiu smiled slightly and said, "If you are polite, don't say it. Please tell me the purpose of your coming."

The old man said, "Master Gao Jiu, I am the principal of the No. 1 Middle School in the county. This is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Ruifeng County. You led a large army to the city, and the Japanese in the city also took guns and cannons to the city wall. Once the two sides fight, they will inevitably lead to bloody conflicts, causing innocent people to fall into war, and thus cause disaster for life. On behalf of the innocent people in the city, I beg Master Gao Jiu, to stop the army and make peace and save the people from water and fire.

As the saying goes, saving a life is like building a seven-level Buddhist temple. Nowadays, there are more than ten thousand people in the city. If the people in the city can be saved from war, this merit is more than seven-level Buddhist temples? Master Gao Jiu, please…”

Gao Jiu was really unwilling to deal with this sour scholar. He interrupted him directly and asked the president of the chamber of commerce: "You are the president of the chamber of commerce in the city, what are you doing?"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce nodded and said, "Master Gao Jiu, I am entrusted by the gentry in the city to ask Master Gao Jiu to withdraw his troops. We know that your army is very hard-working, and we are willing to pay money and supplies to work hard."

Gao Jiu said, "It was the Japanese who asked you to come?"

The president of the chamber of commerce was hesitant and didn't know what to say.

In fact, this matter is very obvious. If the two of them were not approved by the Japanese, they would not have appeared here.

So why did these two people appear here at this time?

It turned out that when Gao Jiu and others appeared under the city, the Japanese military captain saw the anti-Japanese army coming and hurriedly commanded the Japanese and puppet troops in the city to defend the city wall. When he saw that there were only more than a hundred guerrillas under the city, he wanted to rush out with his men and horses to eliminate these bold and arrogant anti-Japanese troops. As a result, he was dissuaded by everyone.

The captain of the police brigade in the county reminded him: "Taijun, the anti-Japanese elements who appeared outside the city were known as the Ruifeng Mountain guerrillas. They can be said to be a mob. When we fight them, they will hide. Now our city is strong and strong, they dare to come here blatantly, and they must have something to rely on. Behind them, they must be backers, so they dare to be so arrogant.

We don’t know what they rely on? If we don’t know the enemy situation, it’s better to be cautious.”

The captain of the Public Security Army also persuaded: "Taijun, why did you let all the people outside the city retreat to the city? Didn't you just hear that the bandit named Gao Jiu came here? In the humble opinion of the humble opinion, the reason why these people dared to attack the county with such a few people must be the one Gao Jiu who supported them. If Gao Jiu really came, do you think we can beat him?"

The captain of the military police team had no experience in commanding the troops to fight. Gao Jiu took casually and the dignified Japanese Yellow Army field troops, from the brigade, wing and even brigade level troops, were no match for him. He, a small military police team, dared to challenge Gao Jiu, wouldn't that be seeking death?

He asked nervously, "What do you think you should do?"

The captain of the police brigade said: "Taijun, those rustic anti-Japanese elements are all paupers. They came here just to grab something. Let's give them something. Wouldn't it be over if we send them away? Beizhi suggested sending people out to negotiate with them. If the conditions offered are not high, just give them to them."

He had heard that Gao Jiu and others had led their men to capture many county towns. After entering the city, they would plunder and kidnap the county officials and ask them to pay the ransom. At the time, the captain of the police brigade in Yu County was forced to hand over 8,000 oceans. He was unwilling to anger Gao Jiu, and he was beaten into the city. Even if he was not beaten to death, he would have to hand over a large amount of ransom.

After he finished speaking, he gave a wink to the captain of the Public Security Army and asked him to continue persuading him.

The captain of the Public Security Army saw that the military captain was hesitant and knew what he was worried about. He said, "Taijun, you don't have to worry about your superiors blaming you. There are thousands of Huangmen in Jinan, and they can't do anything to Gao Jiu. We are just a small county town with only dozens of Huangmen. Being able to protect the county town is a major victory. Not only is it unforeseen, but it also makes contributions."

The Japanese military police captain finally made up his mind. So he sent someone to find the principal of the prestigious county No. 1 Middle School in the city and went out of the city to negotiate with the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Gao Jiu asked, "How do you plan to work hard on the army?"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce said: "Master Gao Jiu, our county is a small place and is not rich. We are willing to spend 50,000 oceans and ask Master Jiu to withdraw his troops."

Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu also felt that it would be meaningless to continue this battle. Moreover, if it was really a force to fight, it would take a lot of effort to rely on the rookies like Ruifeng Mountain. He decided to stop when he was about to get it and said, "A 50,000 oceans of exchange, 10,000 oceans of oceans plus 20,000 kilograms of grain."

Gao Jiu did not ask for weapons and ammunition, which would make the Japanese military police captain in the city very difficult, and it would inevitably lead to some variables.

Gao Jiu never complicates things for trivial matters. He only needs money, but is he afraid of not being able to buy weapons with money? Besides, for masters, seizing some weapons and ammunition is not just a joke.

To be honest, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and others had already discussed it before leaving the city. They planned to pay 100,000 oceans. They proposed 50,000 oceans just to bargain. As for grain, one ocean can buy 30 kilograms of grain, and 20,000 kilograms of grain is only a few hundred oceans. Now the conditions proposed by Gao Jiu can be said to be very low.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce immediately agreed and said, "Master Jiu is so kind. We will do it immediately. Please wait and I will deliver it to you soon."

As he said that, he took out a 50,000 ocean of bills from his arms and handed them to Gao Jiu, and went back with the principal of the middle school.

40 minutes later, the city gate opened and many big trucks came out from inside. The carts in front were pulling boxes, and the carts behind were full of grain. The president of the Chamber of Commerce came over again. He directed the carts with wooden boxes to come to Gao Jiu. He said, "Master Gao Jiu, Dayang has brought you. Do you want to count the points?"

Gao Jiu believed that they did not dare to deceive themselves, so he nodded and said, "I keep my word and I will withdraw my troops now. After you go back, you tell the Japanese military police captain that within ten days, all Japanese and puppet troops in the city will not leave the city, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce immediately agreed and said, "Master Jiu, please don't worry, I will bring you what you say after I go back." After that, he bowed his hand to Gao Jiu and went back to the county town.

Seeing that Jiu Ye was so majestic, the guerrillas were amazed and looked at Jiu Ye with respect.

Gao Jiu said, "Brothers! The devils here have surrendered, so let's change the target. The 10,000 oceans and the 20,000 kilograms of grain here will belong to your guerrillas."

The guerrillas didn't expect that they had made such a fortune so easily, and they all cheered.
Chapter completed!
