As night fell, Zhang Quan received a telegram from Gao Jiu that the main Japanese army had left Pingyue County and headed towards Majiaao Village, so that he could pay attention to safety and not let the Japanese army surround him.

When Zhang Quan heard that the Japanese troops were coming, he could not continue to use the tactic of surveillance of the enemy from all sides, so he notified the team members in the west to evacuate and return to the direction of Taohua Mountain to monitor the enemy.

Zhang Quan decided to lead his team members to fight and retreat, harass the Japanese army, and wait for Gao Jiu to lead reinforcements to arrive.

After Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Zhang Quan, he felt that the matter was a bit strange: the Japanese army left Pingyue County in the evening and drove towards Taohua Mountain. Could it be that they wanted to fight the Taohua Mountain guerrillas at night?

The Japanese army was not familiar with the terrain, and the large troops were even more inconvenient to night battles. What were they going to Majiaao Village at this time? Should they go there to spend the night and attack Taohua Mountain after dawn?

The Japanese army's actions were strange from the beginning, and there were always some things that made Gao Jiu feel unreasonable.

However, as the army approached Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu was only concerned about the safety of Taohua Mountain at this time, so his eyes were limited to how the Japanese army took attacks against Taohua Mountain.

He believed that it was reasonable for the Japanese army to do this. After all, Pingyue County is still dozens of miles away from Taohua Mountain. If they gather in the area of ​​Majiaao Village and set off in the early morning tomorrow, they can enter Taohua Mountain in the morning.

Gao Jiu felt that this was a fighter jet, so he decided to attack Majiaao Village at night to disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment.

Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and Jiang Xiaomei led their troops to Majiaao Village respectively.

In the Japanese military's combat plan, the infantry brigade at Yamaguchi acted as bait. They took the lead in attacking Majiaao Village near Taohua Mountain to attract the enemy's attention and cover the main force of the 128th Brigade to attack Wang Jindong's new 187th Division.

His second task was to guard Majiaao Village until the battle started in Zhiyuan County, and then retreat to Pingyue County to stand for help.

After the Japanese army of Yamaguchi brigade expanded the defense area, they began to dig trenches on the ground. The Japanese soldiers were well-trained. In order to prevent the enemy snipers, they lay tightly on the ground, digging the soft soil in the wheat fields, and then piled them in front of them. They first dug a shallow pit, hid their bodies in, and then continued to dig. As the soil pit under them became deeper and deeper, they could gradually squat down and dig, slowly bent down to dig until they could stand up.

After completing the personal bunker, the Japanese began to dig horizontally and connect with each other to form a trench.

The special forces members of Taohua Mountain knew that the Japanese army was digging trenches, but they could not see anyone, so they could do nothing to them.

At midnight, the Yamaguchi Brigade had already established a relatively solid defensive position within a radius of 500 meters. The Yamaguchi entered the trenches, inspected the fortifications, and expressed his approval to the hard-working soldiers.

Japan's **** education is somewhat similar to pyramid schemes, and it has a strong incitement. The soldiers were praised by the captain, and they were all exhausted as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Seeing that the troops were still in high morale, Yamaguchi was fully confident in defending the village and persevering until he received the order to retreat.

At this time, he did not know whether the enemy's main force could be attracted to the siege. Before repairing the fortifications, he was worried that the enemy would appear. After the trenches were excavated, he began to look forward to the enemy's appearance.

It really didn't disappoint him. At one o'clock in the morning, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and Jiang Xiaomei all rushed to Majiaao Village.

Yamaguchi is very clear about the entire combat plan. He now admires the maker of this plan, Yoshihiro Hamada, and the enemy is indeed deceived.

Gao Jiu and others came to Majiaao Village, and Zhang Quan reported to him about the combat situation in the previous stage.

Gao Jiu did not immediately start the deployment of combat operations, he was waiting for news about the main force of the Japanese 115th Regiment.

The investigators of the special forces rode around Majiaao Village on fast horses and searched towards Pingyue County. Strangely, they advanced all the way towards Pingyue County, but they did not find the figure of the main Japanese army's main force. They had to continue searching and advancing, almost reaching Pingyue County, and still did not see the figure of the main force of the Japanese 115th Regiment.

The scouts left behind to continue monitoring the direction of Pingyue County and sent people back to report to Gao Jiu.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese 128th Brigade and the main force of the Japanese 115th Regiment were approaching from both northeast directions towards Zhiyuan County.

Jinan.

After receiving the news that the 128th Japanese Brigade of the 128th Brigade went south to Xuzhou, Xu Zhongming did not send a telegram to Gao Jiu. It was not entirely out of his subjective judgment that this matter had little to do with Gao Jiu, so he did not notify Gao Jiu.

The Jinan Station of the Military Control Commission also has its own difficulties. Whenever the Japanese army forces take action, when the Japanese special high school department is at its highest vigilance, they will send a radio direction-finding vehicle to move around the city. Every time the Jinan Station of the Military Control Commission sends a telegram, it will add a risk of exposure.

Last time, in order to inform Gao Jiu, the Jinan Station of the Military Control Commission lost a contact point and four military control agents, and even Zhou Mingshan almost suffered an accident.

It was late at night, and Zhou Mingshan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He believed that the 115th Japanese Regiment besieged Taohua Mountain was part of the 128th Japanese Brigade. The main force of the 128th Japanese Brigade went south, leaving a single corps to compete with the Taohuashan guerrillas here, and always felt something was wrong.

He and Xu Zhongming had discussed this issue. Xu Zhongming felt that there was no problem with the Japanese army's deployment in this way. He used an infantry corps to deal with the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. When the Taohua Mountain guerrillas were wiped out, they would be reasonable to go south again.

In anyone's eyes, an infantry regiment with thousands of Japanese troops, even if they cannot wipe out all the troops of Taohua Mountain, even if they cannot wipe them out, it will not take much time to drive them out of Taohua Mountain. Therefore, they will not delay their trip to the south.

Zhou Mingshan also thought what Xu Zhongming said was reasonable. Although he knew Gao Jiu's combat effectiveness, he did not think that Gao Jiu could deal with a whole infantry regiment of the Japanese army at the same time, not to mention the cooperation of the local Japanese and puppet troops. Therefore, he agreed with Xu Zhongming's opinion.

Zhou Mingshan lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight coming through the window. The moonlight was like water, peaceful and quiet, but his heart couldn't calm down.

Suddenly he thought of a question and sat up all of a sudden. He thought about it carefully again, then put on his clothes and went to find Xu Zhongming.

The underground party in Jinan has been paying attention to the situation in southwest Shandong. Since the Japanese 115th Regiment was besieged by Taohua Mountain, they also paid attention to the situation of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army related to this regiment. When the underground party organization in Tai'an reported that the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army did not get off in Tai'an, but continued to move south, it also attracted their attention. After analysis, they could not understand the true intentions of the Japanese army and believed that the Japanese army went south to join the Wuhan battle.

However, this matter was related to the 115th Japanese Army Regiment that encircled Taohua Mountain, and they also had plans to notify Gao Jiu.

Today, the Jinan underground party has much greater difficulties than the Jinan Station of the Military Control Commission. After taking office, Toichiro Sakai, the head of the Special High School Section of the Japanese Military Police Command, took office, he strengthened the crackdown on the underground anti-Japanese organizations in Jinan. The underground party has suffered serious losses in recent times, and two secret liaison stations have been damaged by the Japanese army, and the losses on the radio are particularly serious. It turned out that there were three radio stations in the Jinan underground party organization. Last time, in order to inform Gao Jiu, he lost one radio station. Not long ago, a secret liaison station of the underground party was cracked by the Special High School Class and another radio station was lost. Now, there is only one radio station left in the underground party organization.

Just yesterday afternoon, an important component electronic tube on this radio station was damaged, and they couldn't even send a telegram.

Radio equipment, like weapons, ammunition, medicine and other materials, is a strategic material strictly controlled by the Japanese army, and it is very difficult to get it. The underground party tried every means to get a dilapidated radio station from a factory owner, removed an electronic tube from it, and sent it to the underground party's liaison station at midnight.

The person in charge of the underground party decided to take the risk of sending this information to John Chen and let him inform Gao Jiu.

In order to send this telegram, the underground party decided to take a risky action.

Gao Hong, the captain of the anti-traitor team, led four team members to ambush in an alley on the West Street of Gulou, waiting for the Japanese radio station to pass by.

At 1:30 a.m., the underground party sent a telegram to John Chen. The location of the telegram was a few T-streets unique to Jinan City. If the Japanese radio direction-finding vehicles wanted to find the position where the radio was locked, they would have to enter this street from the T-street intersection.

The Japanese soldiers were very dedicated and drove onto the side of the radio station in the middle of the night to patrol the streets. Behind the radio direction-finding car, there was a military truck, with a squad of Japanese military policemen on the vehicle.

There are only five people in Gao Hong and others. They know that there are so many enemies, so why don’t they come with more players? It’s not that they don’t want to come with more people, but that they don’t.

It is very difficult to train an enemy worker. Even ordinary members of the operation team must have an apparently legal identity as a cover in Jinan City. It is very difficult to develop an underground worker, but it is easy to suffer losses in the struggle between the enemy and us. This is almost all the people that Gao Hong can mobilize at present.

In theory, the action of killing the enemy's side-oriented vehicles should be arranged in advance. There is not enough staff in the city, so guerrillas can be temporarily mobilized from outside the city to move into the city together. But today it is not possible, and the underground party believes that this telegram must be sent.

Sending a telegram is not that simple. It doesn’t mean that when you move your fingers, you send the telegram out tickingly, and it’s all done. You must make sure that the other party can receive it.

Unless there is a specific time agreed in advance and the specific channel receives it, it is possible to allow the other party to complete the reception in a short period of time. There is also an agreed time between the underground party and John Chen, but it is not at this time. They must call repeatedly until John Chen responds.

It is impossible for such a long time to avoid attracting the attention of the enemy.

Seeing the enemy's direction finding, Gao Hong first shot into the cab of the radio direction finding vehicle, killing the Japanese driver, forcing the radio direction finding vehicle to stop. Four team members held 20-shot shell guns and shot at the Japanese army on the truck!

There were 13 Japanese troops on the truck's carriage and three Japanese troops in the cab. For a moment, the guerrillas could not completely destroy them, and the alive Japanese troops immediately launched a counterattack. The Japanese on the radio direction-finding car were also equipped with turtle boxes, and they also shot at the guerrillas through the windows or doors.

Gao Hong and others' key task was to blow up the enemy's radio side vehicles. Since they could not bury explosives in advance, they could only temporarily try to use grenades to blow up the radio direction finding vehicles.

Under the cover of the team members, Gao Hong threw a grenade towards the radio side of the radio. The grenade was thrown on the radio direction finding vehicle, and it was bounced to the ground and rolled to the side. Although a violent explosion occurred, it did not destroy the radio direction finding vehicle.

Gao Hong threw a grenade again. This time he changed his method and threw the grenade under the radio direction finding car. He hoped that the grenade could explode under the bottom and thus destroy the radio direction finding car. However, he could not master this force well in a hurry. The road below the car was a hard asphalt road. The grenade passed through the bottom of the radio side car, but rolled out from the other end and still did not blow up the radio side car.

The fierce battle quickly alarmed the Japanese patrol, and a large number of Japanese surrounded in this direction.

Gao Hong was anxious and rushed out suddenly. He approached the enemy's radio side car and threw the grenade through the window. The radio side car was completely destroyed by the violent explosion. However, Gao Hong was hit by two bombs and fell to the ground.

At this moment, a large number of Japanese soldiers arrived.

The underground party agents in charge of cover saw that the task had been completed, they wanted to rescue Gao Hong who had fallen to the ground. As a result, two more team members were shot and fell to the ground. The remaining two team members had to retreat in a hurry.

The Japanese military police headquarters had only two radio side vehicles. This battle destroyed the enemy radio side vehicles and killed several Japanese radio listeners and some ordinary soldiers, achieving considerable results.

However, the losses were also heavy. Two agents from the underground party died. Although Gao Hong was not hit by a bullet, he was captured by the enemy.

The telegram was finally sent out and received a reply from John Chen.

What Zhou Mingshan wants to do is the same as the underground party.

Zhou Mingshan found Xu Zhongming and woke him up from his sleep. He said: "Sitemaster, the actions of the 128th Brigade of the Japanese Army are very suspicious. Didn't our intelligence officer provide information about the 114th Division of the Japanese Army, who is about to go south to join Wuhan to fight? But this matter is a bit unreasonable.

The Japanese army in Shandong region lacked enough troops. The 114th Regiment was specially transported from Shanghai to strengthen the Shandong region. Why did they hurriedly leave Shandong and go south again? Is there no other troops in the Japanese army that can be removed?

There is another situation. Even if the 114th Division is about to be transferred, why are there no other Japanese troops coming to receive information about defense?

The 128th Japanese Brigade did go south, but the other units of the 114th Division did not seem to be moving. Why is that?

When Xu Zhongming heard this, he was puzzled and asked, "What exactly is the Japanese army's attempt? What do you think?"

Zhou Mingshan said: "Since the Japanese army sent the 115th Regiment belonging to the 128th Brigade to encircle the Taohua Mountain where the Gao brothers were killed, the 128th Brigade's actions should be related to this matter. Sitemaster Xu, to say something unpleasant, we can't understand this matter, so it's better to notify Brother Gao of this news. Brother Gao has great magical powers, and perhaps he can figure out the true intentions of the Japanese army."

Xu Zhongming thought what he said made sense and agreed with Zhou Mingshan's opinion.

Regarding how to send telegrams safely, they also made the same plan as the underground party. They called Li Xikun, the captain of the operation team, and asked him to intercept and blow up the enemy's side-sided vehicles while shooting and sending the telegrams.

Just as the Military Control Commission was preparing for the action, gunfire and explosions came from Jinan City. Xu Zhongming decisively ordered to send a telegram to Gao Jiu while taking advantage of the chaos.

There was a radio station on duty at Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain at any time, and they soon received the telegram. After receiving the telegram, they forwarded the content of the telegram to Gao Jiu.

After receiving the telegram, John Chen also sent the same telegram to Gao Jiu.

However, Gao Jiu was unable to see these two telegrams in time.

Gao Jiu and others came outside the village of Majiaao Village, waiting for the dispatched investigators to hear the news that the main force of the 115th Regiment came.
Chapter completed!
