The corruption of the situation greatly shocked the Japanese Southern Front Army. They held an emergency combat meeting to study how to deal with Gao Jiu.

gangcun Ningji believed that the Taohuashan guerrillas had strong mobile combat capabilities, and that the Japanese and puppet troops from all over the country could not stop their attacks. The only way to deal with Gao Jiu was to mobilize large troops to encircle and suppress them.

Although Gao Jiu's team has grown, there is a huge flaw for Gao Jiu, that is, their mobile combat capabilities have been greatly reduced. He must protect the puppet troops who followed him, as well as the underground party and military command troops. This means that the areas where Gao Jiu and others are active have been limited to the areas under their control.

The large Japanese army thus had a clear target of attack. He suggested mobilizing the army to attack the area currently controlled by Gao Jiu and others, and forcing Gao Jiu to fight the Japanese army.

The commander of the Southern Front Army and the chief of staff both believed that gangcun Ningji's suggestion was correct, so he decided to organize a large army to encircle Gao Jiu.

This time, the Japanese army planned to dispatch one and a half division of the 11th Army, an independent mixed brigade, two independent Japanese garrisons, a total of 31,000 troops, five brigades of Huang Xiejun, and a total of 23,000 troops. Gangcun Ningji was the commander-in-chief of the battle and went to attack the coalition forces commanded by Gao Jiu.

The Military Control Commission and the underground party accurately conveyed a large amount of information mobilized by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Gao Jiu also took the initiative and sent a transport plane to deliver a large number of weapons and ammunition, and set off to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army.

In order to increase the strength of the troops, the underground party sent two regular troops, 12 county brigades and a large number of guerrillas. In terms of the underground party alone, the troops had reached more than 18,000.

The Zhongyi National Salvation Army also sent two detachments, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people.

Gao Jiu quickly recruited a large number of puppet troops, and the total number of puppet troops reached more than 22,000.

At this time, the total strength of the coalition forces commanded by Gao Jiu had reached more than 50,000.

In order to boost morale, Gao Jiu distributed weapons and ammunition to these troops, and each of them sent 20 oceans. After the battle, each of them would give them another 30 oceans and promised that all the people who were killed and disabled in battle, the Taohuashan guerrillas would give them a large amount of pension.

The coalition forces received new weapons and equipment, and with a large bounty, the morale was very high.

In order to cooperate with the coalition forces' operations, the underground party and the Guofu also dispatched their main forces to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was exhausted from fighting. The Japanese army, which was originally intended to deal with Gao Jiu, had to withdraw some of them to deal with the attacks of the underground party and the Guo army, reducing the Japanese army to attack Gao Jiu from 31,000 to 19,000, greatly reducing the pressure on the coalition forces.

Gangcun Ningji was a wise Japanese general. Although his troops were reduced by a portion, he was still confident to defeat or even eliminate the newly formed coalition forces.

Soon after, the Japanese vanguard attacked Fengdu County, occupied by the coalition forces, and a great war began.

Although Gao Jiu knew that his current control of troops was no less than that of the Japanese army, they lacked the coordination between them and could not cooperate with each other during combat. Their overall combat effectiveness was inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu could not ask these troops to fight complex wars, especially those puppet troops who had just turned out to be. Most of them were forced to surrender because of the power of the Taohuashan guerrillas, and they were even more unlikely to command them to fight complex wars. Once they encountered setbacks, they were likely to collapse immediately.

Therefore, Gao Jiu commanded these puppet troops and the troops of the Zhongyi National Salvation Army, using the tactics they were familiar with, which was to rely on solid fortifications for defense.

The Taohuashan guerrillas led the puppet army and the Zhongyi National Salvation Army to dig a large number of trenches, use trenches and city walls to block and consume the Japanese and puppet army's forces.

Gao Jiu led the main forces of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the underground party regiments as mobile troops in this battle, looking for fighter jets to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

Outside Fengdu County, the officers and soldiers of the two regiments of the puppet army saw a large group of Japanese troops coming from a distance in the trenches. They were frightened by the previous Yinwei of the Japanese army. Anyway, the puppet army was a little scared because they knew very well that with their own strength, they were no match for the Japanese army at all. If it weren't for the Taohua Mountain guerrillas supervising them, they might have fled in a hurry.

The Japanese army launched an attack. In order to deter the puppet army, the Japanese army launched a round of artillery bombings and dispatched more than a dozen armored vehicles to cover the brigade of Japanese soldiers and rushed towards the puppet army's position.

Anyway, the puppet soldiers suddenly became panicked, and many people were ready to escape. If the officers hadn't shouted loudly, they would have collapsed long ago.

As the Japanese army approached step by step, not only the ordinary soldiers, but also some officers were shaken.

Just as they were about to jump out of the trenches and escape, they heard violent cannon sounds coming from behind.

The members of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas used a large number of artillery transported from air to bomb the Japanese army. The intensity of the artillery fire was far greater than that of the Japanese army, and the attacking Japanese army flew everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese armored vehicles rushing in front were attacked by rockets. The armored vehicles were like paper-paste, and were beaten into balls of fire.

Seeing this situation, the puppet army officers and soldiers who were on the blocking mission were excited. Not only did they give up the idea of ​​escaping, but they became more and more morale and opened fire violently at the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu equipped them with a large number of machine guns, and bullets could be supplied with open outlets. Anyway, the puppet troops fired desperately, and the Japanese troops who had lost the cover of armored vehicles were exposed to the rain of bullets and fell in large numbers.

The Japanese army's first attack was repelled, and the officers and soldiers on the blocking positions made a shocking cheer. Their morale was greatly boosted and they were fully confident to repel the Japanese army's attack again.

Soon after, the Japanese army was about to launch an attack again. They began to prepare fire. When their artillery fired, the artillerymen of the Taohuashan guerrillas, who had already locked their artillery positions, began to shell out their artillery positions directly.

This is an asymmetric artillery battle. The largest caliber of Japanese artillery is the 70mm Type 92 infantry cannon, while the Taohuashan guerrillas brought 105mm howitzer.

The Japanese army could not attack the artillery of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, and the artillery of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas could easily shell the Japanese army under very safe circumstances.

The result of such an artillery battle is imagined. Soon, the Japanese artillery soldiers fell collectively silent.

Seeing this situation, the puppet army officers and soldiers guarding the trenches felt very relieved. They began to look down on the Japanese army from their original fear, and their morale was high.

The Japanese army was very stubborn. They now knew that they were inferior to the anti-Japanese army in firepower, but they still launched an attack again.

This time, the officers and soldiers guarding the trench had already had a completely different mental state. They were ready to beat the Japanese army and retreated in a mess again.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gao Jiu issued an offensive order.

The troops of the two underground regiments had already been replaced by the equipment of the Taohuashan guerrillas. They each had a submachine gun and a large number of machine guns and artillery. They had already been holding their energy. After hearing Gao Jiu's order to attack, they shouted and rushed out. The soldiers rushed with machine guns and submachine guns, and the Japanese army could not resist it at all.

Anyway, the puppet soldiers guarding the trenches bravely jumped out of the trenches and launched an attack on the Japanese army when they saw this situation.

At this time, the artillery of the Taohuashan guerrillas was shelling the Japanese army's rear, and the Japanese army could not gather their troops. The Japanese army in front had just retreated. Under the fierce attack of the anti-Japanese army, they could not resist at all. The troops behind were also defeated by the artillery of the Taohuashan guerrillas. The Japanese army could not organize effective resistance and were soon defeated. They began to flee in all directions.

The Japanese soldiers in the past saw the Japanese army as aggressive as the attacking side, but now they were beaten to flee everywhere, and the morale of the officers and soldiers became even stronger. They desperately pursued the Japanese army, venting their long-standing repressed anger.

The one who came to attack was a Japanese army. Under the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese Army, they ran all the way, and Japanese officers and soldiers were constantly knocked to the ground by the chased anti-Japanese army.

The Japanese army ran seven or eight miles in one breath, and there was less than one brigade left in a regiment of Japanese troops.

The officers and soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Army were fighting excitedly. They continued to pursue the Japanese army despite their fatigue.

Suddenly, the fleeing Japanese soldiers stopped and a large group of Japanese troops appeared in front of them.

It turned out that the Japanese reinforcements arrived, and a brigade of the Japanese army came. The Japanese army's brigade that was defeated by the Anti-Japanese Army was one of the brigades.

At this time, the Japanese army's troops reached more than 8,000, and there was a brigade of the puppet army behind them.

The Anti-Japanese Army had more than 6,000 troops in four regiments, and its troops were already at a disadvantage.

Anyway, the puppet soldiers saw that the Japanese soldiers were numerous, so they prepared to retreat and return to their original defensive positions.

Gao Jiu knew that in this situation, they must not be allowed to retreat. If the Japanese army pursued at this time, the anti-Japanese army would soon turn from retreating to retreating, and then the puppet army would be over anyway.

Gao Jiu ordered the local defense to be organized, and he led the main force of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to come over in person.

When Gao Jiu saw that the Japanese army began to launch an attack, he immediately ordered the artillery to bombard the Japanese army violently to suppress the Japanese offensive momentum.

Seeing the fierce artillery fire of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, the other anti-Japanese officers and soldiers felt much more at ease, especially when they saw Gao Jiu coming in person, their confidence increased.

They seized the time to repair the fortifications and prepared to repel the enemy's attack.

The Japanese army continued to attack in fierce artillery fire. They lost a large amount of troops and finally rushed to the temporary position built by the Anti-Japanese Army. They were defeated again by the Anti-Japanese Army officers and soldiers with fierce firepower.

The commander of the Japanese brigade saw that the enemy's artillery fire was fierce. If he forced the attack, it would cause a large number of casualties. So he ordered the 8th Brigade of the Huang Jie Army, who was following them, to stand in front of the Japanese army's ranks, and let them launch an attack and consume the anti-Japanese troops and ammunition.

At this time, the intelligence officers of the Taohuashan guerrillas who were left in the 8th Brigade of the Huang Jie Army received an order from Gao Jiu on radio, asking them to launch a raid when they passed by the Japanese positions.

At the same time, Gao Jiu had already asked Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming to lead 200 Taohuashan guerrillas to go around the enemy and cooperate with Huang Xiejun's troops anyway.

The brigade commander of the 8th Brigade of Huang Xiejun led more than 6,000 officers and soldiers of the entire brigade to the frontier positions of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army dodged a passage and let them pass.

After the troops of the 8th Brigade of the Huang Jiejun entered the Japanese position, the brigade commander suddenly issued an order for a surprise attack.

The officers and soldiers of the 8th Brigade of Huang Jiejun knew that the Japanese devils asked them to go forward to serve as cannon fodder for the devils. They were full of anger at the Japanese army. After hearing the brigade commander's order to raid, the officers and soldiers who had already prepared launched a raid on the defenseless Japanese soldiers.

The Japanese army was caught off guard and beaten into chaos.

When Gao Jiu saw the 8th Brigade of Huang Jiejun's army counterattack, he immediately ordered all the anti-Japanese troops to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

The Taohua Mountain guerrillas interspersed in the Eighth Brigade of the Huang Jiejun have another important task, which is to attack the Japanese command organs.

Just before the 8th Brigade of the Huang Jiejun took action, they had already set their sights on the Japanese brigade headquarters. The Japanese brigade headquarters were easy to identify. There were six or seven tents on the small mound, many antennas, cars and jeeps, and a large number of Japanese troops defending each other.

As soon as the battle started, several Taohuashan guerrillas fired rockets at the tents with the rocket launchers. Soon, all the tents were destroyed.

The guerrillas guessed correctly. This was the Japanese brigade commander. The Japanese brigade commander and the main senior officer were eliminated immediately.

The 8th Brigade of Huang Jiejun launched a raid inside the Japanese position. Behind the Japanese army, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas led by Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming, were also attacked.

Gao Jiu led the main force of the Anti-Japanese Army to rush up.

The Japanese army could not withstand such a blow and collapsed instantly.

Except for the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, the other anti-Japanese troops participating in the battle have never fought such a happy battle in their lives. Everyone is full of morale and chases the Japanese soldiers who flee everywhere.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and a whole Japanese brigade was completely wiped out by the Anti-Japanese Army.

Gao Jiu was very satisfied with the victory of this battle. He commended all the commanders and fighters of the participating troops, not only supplementing them with weapons and ammunition, but also distributing 20 oceans to each of the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle. He also waited until the battle was completely over, and each person would reward 30 oceans.
