Chapter 871 Japanese Special Forces
Gao Jiu went out for a trip and also inspected the people's conditions in various places. Seeing that some rural residents' living conditions were still very backward, he found Yue Lin, who was in charge of the construction of the Golden Triangle, and asked him to send people to the countryside for field inspections to provide residents with financial and construction technology support to improve their living conditions.
Gao Jiu requires not only to improve the housing of residents in each village and town, but also to have leisure and entertainment venues. Each village must have a small park and a light stadium for people to move around. In addition, some sports facilities are installed, and each village must have a telephone call.
He asked Yue Lin to come up with a plan as soon as possible, and Gao Jiuhui approved a special amount of funds to implement the plan.
Yue Lin immediately began to investigate. When the news reached various villages and towns, the residents cheered.
Since the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas came to the Golden Triangle, the lives of the residents here have been greatly improved, and they are very satisfied with the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas.
In order to improve the educational conditions in rural areas, Gao Jiu specially approved the recruitment of 550 young teachers from China.
Once this good news came out, the number of applicants was very enthusiastic, and more than 8,000 registered people were even more than 8,000.
The person in charge of education felt a little embarrassed and reported this situation to Gao Jiu, hoping to increase some places for recruitment of teachers.
Gao Jiu did not mind that there were too many knowledgeable young people. He decided to expand the scope of recruitment and increase the quota to 2,200. If these people cannot arrange for education positions, there are some jobs in the Golden Triangle that can provide them with.
The person in charge of education was very happy and announced the good news again.
In order to facilitate trade in the Golden Triangle and surrounding areas, Gao Jiu requires that a comprehensive trading market be established in the border areas, with full functions and convenient transportation. These are all in advance for post-war economic reconstruction.
Gao Jiu is a person who can't rest. After a peaceful life, he began to think about fighting the Japanese again.
The Anti-Japanese War will be over in more than a year. He will seize the time to attack the abominable Japanese devils.
Gao Jiu had a special liking for the battlefield in Shandong and decided to return to Taohua Mountain again.
Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others flew to Taohua Mountain again.
This time, Li Chengwu transported 60 armored combat vehicles and 40 107mm rocket launchers to Taohua Mountain.
When Gao Jiu and others returned to Taohua Mountain, they received a telegram from Jiang Xiaomei, saying that a Japanese special forces team often engaged in sneak attacks, assassinations and other activities in the Binhai County area, causing great trouble to the local underground party armed forces. She hoped that Gao Jiu could send a special forces to annihilate the Japanese special forces.
Gao Jiu has not taken action himself for a while, so he is inevitably itchy.
Jiang Xiaomei's call was exactly what he wanted. He immediately called Jiang Xiaomei back, saying that he would rush to Binhai County as soon as possible to assist the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces in annihilation of the Japanese special forces.
Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming and others led a special operations squadron to the Binhai Military Region.
On this day, Gao Jiu and others came to Yongcheng. Now Zhao Wannian's Third Division of the Public Security Army has been reorganized into the Independent Division of the Northern Military Region, and the division headquarters is still stationed in Yongcheng.
When Zhao Wannian heard that Gao Jiu was coming, he was very happy and held a banquet to entertain Gao Jiu and others.
At the banquet, Gao Jiu congratulated Zhao Wannian and the commanders of the Independent Division, saying that they would definitely have a bright future when they devoted themselves to the anti-Japanese cause at critical moments.
He explained to everyone the situation of the world's anti-*** war and told them that the Japanese devils were grasshoppers after autumn and could not jump for a few days, and the latest one would not exceed the end of next year. The devils would definitely be defeated and surrendered.
Although Zhao Wannian and his officers still cannot see such a result, they both trust Gao Jiu very much. Gao Jiu's words were a great comfort to them. They no longer worry about gains and losses because they defected to the underground party armed forces.
Zhao Wannian was once the old commander of Wang Zhankui. Now everyone has been on the road of anti-Japanese war. Wang Zhankui is very happy and constantly toasted Zhao Wannian. In the end, both of them are drunk.
The next day, Zhao Wannian told Wang Zhankui that the task of the Independent Division is to continuously expand the base area, and they often attack the Japanese and puppet troops' strongholds around the base area, but they do not have heavy firearms, so it is difficult for them to capture the Japanese strongholds. Even if they are shot, there will be great casualties.
He hoped that Wang Zhankui and others could lead the troops of the Independent Division to attack a Japanese stronghold, so that the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division could learn related offensive tactics.
Wang Zhankui agreed in a full voice, saying that he would ask Master Jiu for instructions, and then went to see Gao Jiu.
Gao Jiu would not refuse such a request. He just hoped that the Independent Division could organize an officer observation group, let them visit and learn on site, and then teach them to the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division.
Zhao Wannian was about to do this, and he immediately gathered all the officers above the Independent Division Battalion, organized an observation group, and followed Gao Jiu and others to act together.
Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Zhao Wannian and others led an observation group to the Liuzhuang stronghold near the base.
There are a Japanese infantry squadron and a squadron of the puppet security army stationed here, with a total force of about 200 people.
The combat operation to attack the stronghold was carried out by a special combat squadron led by Gao Jiu and others. Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others did not take action in this battle, and the squadron leader of the special combat squadron they brought was responsible for commanding.
Before the battle, Gao Jiu still introduced to the officers of the Observation Corps a brief introduction to the tactical measures that the special forces will take soon.
Now the Taohuashan guerrillas have 82mm recoilless cannons and rocket launchers. It is easy to use these to attack enemy bunkers and artillery towers. However, Gao Jiu, based on the characteristics of Zhao Wannian's troops, required the special operations squadron not to use these weapons and to attack this stronghold with the existing weapons of the officers and soldiers of the independent division.
The battle began soon, and Zhao Wannian and the officers of the observation group watched the guerrillas' actions with telescopes more than 200 meters away from the battlefield.
They saw the special combat squadron of the Mawushan guerrillas taking action separately. Two squads walked around the back of the Japanese and puppet army stronghold, and most of the remaining troops were concentrated on the front of the stronghold.
The special forces team members used rifles to block the gun holes on the artillery tower and bunkers, quickly suppressing the enemy's firepower.
The Japanese and puppet troops guarding the strongholds originally relied on artillery towers and bunkers to have a great advantage in previous battles. Unexpectedly, they have now become disadvantages.
They could only shoot out of the gun hole, but the enemy's bullets kept shooting in from the gun hole, and no one dared to step forward.
The Japanese commander knew that this was not a solution. If the guerrillas rushed forward, they would have to wait for death. He ordered some of the Japanese and puppet troops to rush out from the back doors of the bunkers and artillery towers.
The two squads of soldiers deployed behind the stronghold blocked the exits of the artillery tower and bunkers with four light machine guns, and no Japanese and puppet troops could rush out. At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops were completely passively beaten.
Then several special forces team members used the tactic of infantry to catch the enemy and quickly came to the front of the blockade ditch of the stronghold, and threw grenades directly into the Japanese bunkers and gun holes of the artillery tower, and quickly destroyed the two bunkers under the artillery tower.
Immediately afterwards, the special forces team broke the rope on the suspension bridge with their rifles, then rushed into the stronghold on the suspension bridge, and threw grenades into the hole of the gun tower.
It didn't take long, and thick smoke was rolling in the artillery tower, and the Japanese and puppet troops had nowhere to hide inside, and were killed and injured by the bombing.
Some of the special forces members continued to block the enemy's gun holes, and the rest rushed across the suspension bridge to eliminate the remaining enemies in the stronghold.
The entire battle lasted only 34 minutes, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were wiped out.
Zhao Wannian and his officers from the observation group saw that there were only about 100 special operations squadrons, and in such a short time, they wiped out more than 200 Japanese and puppet troops who were defending with strong fortifications, but they had no casualties. They were so impressed that they were full of admiration.
After the war, Gao Jiu asked the special operations squadron leader to explain the tactical methods they adopted to the officers in detail.
The officers all felt their eyes wide open and said that they would teach the officers and soldiers such combat experience after they went back.
In order to let the officers under Zhao Wannian learn more tactical methods, he asked Zhao Wannian to choose another Japanese and puppet army stronghold.
This time, the Special Operations Squadron demonstrated the tactics of using mortars as flat-fire cannons for the officers. Since a large number of mortars were used this time, the entire battle went on in less than 20 minutes and the Japanese and puppet troops inside were completely wiped out.
Zhao Wannian and his officers admired him very much, praising the Taohua Mountain guerrillas for their strong combat effectiveness.
Wang Zhankui said proudly: "When encountering a stronghold like the Japanese and puppet troops, if 82mm recoilless cannons and rocket launchers are used, the entire battle will be over in less than ten minutes."
Zhao Wannian and his officers absolutely believed Wang Zhankui's words. This time they learned advanced tactical methods from the Taohuashan guerrillas and increased their confidence in attacking the Japanese and puppet troops' strongholds in the future.
Zhao Wannian and others invited Gao Jiu and others to stay here for a few more days, hoping to learn more combat experience from them. However, Gao Jiu still had something to do, so he said goodbye to Zhao Wannian and others and continued to Binhai County.
Sunjiazhuang, Binhai County.
That night, a company of underground party armed forces stationed in Sunjiazhuang was sleeping, and several black shadows touched the village head.
They quietly approached the sentry standing guard at the entrance of the village, launched a sudden attack from behind, and killed the sentry with a knife.
Soon, another group of figures emerged from the darkness and they touched the village.
At this moment, a secret ward in the village discovered this situation and immediately fired a gun to the police.
The group of black shadows moved very quickly and immediately dispersed and attacked the underground party armed forces in the village.
The underground party armed forces in the village were caught off guard, and most of them were wiped out by the Japanese agents who rushed in during their sleep.
The entire battle ended in less than 20 minutes. More than 120 underground party members of a company were killed, while the Japanese special forces lost only two members.
This Japanese agent team had about fifty people, most of them were equipped with automatic firearms, some of them were equipped with sniper rifles with scopes, a Type 92 infantry cannon, two mortars, and several machine guns, with well-equipped.
Also that night, they attacked another barracks of the underground party armed forces, causing casualties of more than 40 underground party officers and soldiers.
The underground party armed forces stationed in a nearby battalion heard the gunshots and rushed to reinforce and fought with the special agents in the dark.
The Japanese army retreated quickly, leaving only a few snipers to block the path of the underground party's armed forces, causing casualties to more than a dozen officers and soldiers.
Faced with such a strong combat power of Japanese special forces, the battalion commander of the underground party ordered the troops to set up mortars to attack the enemy's snipers. The enemy's snipers were not willing to fight and quickly evacuated the battlefield. Soon the special forces lost their traces.
The battalion commander led the underground party officers and soldiers to search for a long time, and only picked up a few bullet shells left by the enemy sniper on the ground, so he had to report the situation here to his superiors again.
The superiors were very worried when they saw this situation. They once again urged Jiang Xiaomei to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping that he could arrive here as soon as possible to deal with the Japanese agent team.
As soon as Jiang Xiaomei sent a telegram, Gao Jiu called back and said that he had entered Binhai County and was heading towards the county town.
Sister Jiang was very excited and rode her horse to greet her.
Jiang Xiaomei finally met Brother Jiu whom she had been thinking about day and night. She wanted to pounce into Gao Jiu's arms and express her longing.
However, other leaders of the underground party were also following him. Jiang Xiaomei could only suppress her inner excitement and calmly expressed her greetings to Gao Jiu with military etiquette.
These days, Jiang Xiaomei knew that Gao Jiu was coming and she couldn't sleep well at night, so she looked a little haggard.
Gao Jiu felt a little ache when he saw her. He knew the pain in the heart of this beautiful and lovely girl, but he was powerless and could only do more for her as much as possible to relieve the uneasiness in his heart.
The leaders of the underground party also held a simple welcoming banquet for Gao Jiu and others. Shortly after the welcoming banquet began, news came that the Japanese special forces team appeared in the area of Wangliu Town, southwest of Binhai County.
Gao Jiu and others did not wait for the banquet to end, and immediately went to the accident site to attack the Japanese special forces team.
Wangliu Town, Binhai County.
The battalion stationed here is a battalion of the Underground Party Binhai Military Region Guard Regiment. The battalion commander introduced the situation of the Japanese special forces they encountered.
Gao Jiu asked about the local garrison and learned that there was a company stationed in Hongjiazhuang, 12 kilometers away from here.
Gao Jiu judged that the Japanese army might attack the underground party armed forces in that village, so he asked the battalion commander to lead a team to Hongjiazhuang.
Gao Jiu was worried that the Japanese special forces team would escape when they learned that the Taohuashan guerrillas were coming. In order not to arouse the Japanese's alert, the special forces team members were all replaced with underground party armed uniforms, and then the battalion commander was guided by the special forces team and led the special forces to Hongjiazhuang.
