The defense range of Taohua Mountain Village is very limited, only these surrounding hills. If the Japanese army takes down the hills, Taohua Mountain Village will be exposed to the Japanese shooting range, and all facilities in the mountains will be severely damaged by the Japanese army.

The guerrillas had no way out and could only fight fiercely with the Japanese army under the enemy's artillery fire.

The defensive positions of the defenders on the mountain were fixed, and when they fired, the fire at the muzzle exposed their position.

The Japanese artillerymen who hid in the dark could easily hit the defenders' defensive positions, causing huge casualties to the defenders.

The artillery of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas fired blindly at the foot of the mountain. Although it caused a large number of casualties to the Japanese army, it did not cause serious blows to the Japanese 240mm heavy mortar. The Japanese artillery continued to fire shells, posing a huge threat to the defenders on the position.

Geng Hua saw this and didn't know what to do for a moment. The position must be held. Otherwise, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, the militias participating in the war and the officers and soldiers of the Fruit Army had no way to retreat, so he could only retreat into Taohua Cave. The airports at the foot of the mountain and all the buildings were all the hard work of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas over the years, and they would definitely be destroyed.

Zhang Quan ordered the Air Force to launch an emergency and throw heavy bombs into the foot of the mountain, and it is necessary to destroy the Japanese artillery.

The commanders of the Air Force felt very embarrassed. They also had difficulty finding targets at night. Moreover, the Japanese army was too close to the defenders on the mountain, so it was difficult to ensure that bombs were thrown without accidentally hurting their people.

Zhang Quan has learned a lot from Gao Jiu over the years. The most important thing is to be good at thinking. He immediately thought of a solution.

He ordered the Air Force to launch an emergency and demarcate an area according to the range of the Japanese heavy mortars, so that the Air Force can bombard it.

He told the air force commander what he thought of and ordered them to dispatch immediately to bomb the Japanese army.

The Taohua Mountain Guerrillas' planes took off soon. They circled in the air and carefully distinguished the locations of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas and the Japanese army.

The way Zhang Quan thought of was to let the searchlights on the mountain shine into the air, forming a complete aperture, and the outside of the aperture was the range where the Japanese army was located. The lights of the searchlights were very bright. They no longer straited around, but instead shone in a fixed direction, so that the guerrilla pilots and bomb throwers could see the boundary between the guerrillas and the Japanese army in Taohua Mountain.

Not only that, Zhang Quan also came up with a solution to indicate the location of the Japanese army.

The Japanese officers and soldiers fought desperately to attack the mountain. The one in front died in battle, and the one behind continued to climb up.

Suddenly, a lot of black things rolled down from the top of the mountain. When they understood, the things suddenly exploded, and the entire hillside suddenly became a sea of ​​fire.

It turned out that what rolled down from the mountain was a gasoline barrel full of gasoline. A time bomb was fixed on the gasoline barrel, setting different explosion times.

Soon, the gasoline barrel exploded in different areas, forming a sea of ​​fire within a large area at the foot of the mountain.

Many gasoline barrels jumped in the air during the fall. After the explosion, the burning gasoline splashed everywhere. Many Japanese officers and soldiers were stuck with fire gasoline. They were twisting in the fire, and the scene was very miserable.

The flames generated by the explosion of a large number of gasoline barrels make it clearer where the Japanese army is.

In order to accurately bomb the Japanese army, the pilots risked their collision on the mountain and flew as low as possible, passing by at a low altitude only 200 to 300 meters above the top of the mountain.

At this time, they could clearly see the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain, and even the Japanese officers and soldiers who were stained with gasoline on fire, struggling in the fire. They immediately threw bombs down.

According to Zhang Quan's request, the bomber was loaded with a large number of 623kg giant bombs, and the bombs were thrown in a very high density. Although the bombers on the plane could not see the location of the Japanese heavy mortars, so many giant bombs were thrown down, and each bomb within a radius of dozens of meters will be completely wiped out, and the Japanese artillery was of course difficult to escape.

After hundreds of giant bombs were dropped, not only did they cause a large number of casualties from ordinary Japanese infantry, but many Japanese artillery soldiers, along with those 240mm heavy mortars, were also destroyed. The Japanese artillery fire suddenly weakened a lot. Soon after, the Japanese attack was repelled.

Gao Jiu was riding a horse towards Taoyuan Town, and suddenly saw a large number of people in front of him, piles of people, each pile of people being about ten. It was obvious that this was a Japanese camp, and the piles of people should be living in tents.

Gao Jiu didn't want to get involved with these Japanese, so he took a detour to Taoyuan Town.

However, he walked about 5 kilometers and saw another Japanese camp in front.

This time, the Japanese came too many times. Gao Jiu didn't know where there was no Japanese camp. He continued to detour and might encounter such a situation. He was a little impatient and decided to hit him directly.

Gao Jiu got off the horse and tied the two horses to a poplar tree on the side of the road. He carried a backpack on his back, and two backpacks taken off the horse, and a sniper rifle in his hand, then touched the Japanese camp.

Gao Jiu saw a Japanese camp with about one hundred tents and more than one thousand people, at least one brigade of the Japanese.

After careful inspection, he found that there were still many vehicles parked in the middle of the camp, which should be the Japanese army's baggage unit and some escort units.

Gao Jiu decided to take action against them first, so he walked over.

Gao Jiu came to the Japanese camp more than 60 meters away, checked the surrounding terrain, looked at the covers that could be used in advance, then took off the backpack on his body and placed all three backpacks behind a stone next to him.

He took out a grenade, pulled the insurance pin, knocked on the stone beside him, counted three times, and threw it towards the tent closest to him.

A fireball suddenly exploded in the darkness, and then a loud bang came.

With the help of the flash of the grenade explosion, Gao Jiu could clearly see that the tent was directly destroyed by the grenade.

Without waiting for the Japanese army to react, Gao Jiu threw grenades at several other tents of the Japanese army.

The grenades were still close to the Japanese tents and exploded in the air, completely destroying the tents.

"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks." The Japanese camp was in chaos, and many people shouted in horror.

The Japanese soldiers did not know where the enemy attacked them, so they blindly shot outside the camp.

The fire at the muzzle exposed the positions of the Japanese soldiers, and Gao Jiu kept throwing the grenade towards the place where the muzzle was flashing densely.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom." Grenades kept exploding in the enemy group, causing the Japanese to cry and howl, killing and injured.

The Japanese were completely stunned. Grenades flew from somewhere and ran around one by one to avoid this terrible blow.

Gao Jiu threw out more than twenty grenades in one breath. He knew that although the Japanese army could not see him, based on the location of the grenade explosion, he could at least guess the general direction he was in.

So he quickly evacuated, left the place where he had just attacked the Japanese army more than 200 meters, quietly approached the Japanese camp again, and launched an attack on the Japanese army.

The Japanese army was completely stunned. They didn't know how many enemies there were outside. Since they could not see the enemy, the Japanese army did not dare to attack rashly. Under the command of the commander, they blindly shot outside on the edge of their camp.

Gao Jiu kept changing positions and threw grenades at the Japanese army, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.

The Japanese commanders could not see the enemy and were very scared of this strange scene.

Taking advantage of Gao Jiu's position transfer and there was no gap in the attack, he ordered people to count the number of people.

It has only half an hour passed since the first attack, and the number of casualties among Japanese officers and soldiers has reached more than 400. Such casualties have made the Japanese commander feel very devastated.

He was thinking of a countermeasure when suddenly a violent explosion sounded on one side of the camp.

The Japanese commander knew that if they stayed here, they would all die.

So he urgently issued an order to retreat and led the remnants to flee in the direction of Taoyuan Town.

The Japanese ran away, Gao Jiu carried his backpack and searched carefully while walking forward.

He was sure that the Japanese had escaped, and then returned to the place where the horse was tied up and went on horseback to Taoyuan Town.

About 40 minutes later, a dark building appeared in front of him, and Taoyuan Town was there.

Gao Jiu rode a horse fast. When he arrived in Taoyuan Town, he saw all the Japanese soldiers who had just escaped into the town.

Gao Jiu secretly found it funny that these Japanese men had just left the tiger's mouth and got into the gate of hell again.

He quietly touched about 80 meters away from Taoyuan Town, found a higher ridge and lay down.

He took out the remote control from his backpack and pressed the button in the direction of Taoyuan Town.

Taohua Mountain.

The Japanese army's attack was repelled again, and this time it lost more than 2,000 troops.

Shigeru Fujita was anxious and ordered the Japanese army to organize troops again and launch a new attack.

After all, Shigeru Fujita was a general with rich combat experience. Although the Japanese army was repelled in the last offensive operation, through his understanding of the battlefield situation, he knew that the 240mm heavy mortar in his hand could play a great role.

He decided to go alone, gather all the 240mm heavy mortars and make a breakthrough in one direction.

According to Shigeru Fujita's order, the Japanese army concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces including 240mm heavy mortars under a hillside to the north, and used a complete infantry corps as the assault force. Then they ordered all Japanese troops in all directions to encircle the circle and launched an attack on the mountain at the same time.

The guerrillas, militia and soldiers of the Fruit Army guarding the mountain saw the Japanese army rushing up again, and they opened fire fiercely at the Japanese army again.

The commander guarding the mountain to the north was Geng Hua. He commanded more than 200 guerrillas from Taohua Mountain, more than 100 militias and more than 300 soldiers from the Fruit Army to guard the positions on the mountain.

Seeing the Japanese army rushing up, they began to fight fiercely with the Japanese army.

The Japanese soldiers kept rushing up and were beaten down again and again, and the battle lasted for an hour.

The Japanese soldiers learned their skills this time, and the number of people coming up each time was not large. The defenders on the mountain could not see how many enemies there were, so they had to be vigilant, which made them feel a little tired.

Suddenly, the enemy's artillery fire became extremely fierce, and groups of shells flew to the positions on the mountain, mixed with many 240mm heavy mortar shells, and the fire exploded on the top of the mountain was endless.

The Taohua Mountain guerrillas used the terrain to build many solid fortifications, and many firepower points were built in the gaps in the cliffs, making it difficult for the enemy's artillery to hit directly. Therefore, the casualties of the guerrillas guarding the fortifications were much smaller.

However, there were not so many fortifications on the mountain. The militia and the officers and soldiers of the Fruit Army exposed to the top of the mountain were seriously injured and killed or killed by the fierce artillery fire. They could not bear such a blow and began to collapse. Many people gave up their positions and ran towards the bottom of the mountain.

At this moment, thousands of Japanese troops suddenly appeared in front of them, which was the Japanese infantry corps. They took advantage of the night darkness and had quietly touched only 150 meters away from the defensive positions on the mountain. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the firepower of the defenders on the mountain, they launched an attack on the mountain at the same time.

At this time, there were only more than one hundred special forces guarding the mountain. There were too many Japanese devils and they could not beat them at all.

Soon after, many Japanese soldiers rushed to a distance of only dozens of meters from the top of the mountain. They began to throw grenades into the mountain and then continued to charge forward.

Geng Hua knew that he could not hold on, and if he continued to stay on the North Mountain, there would be only a dead end. So he took the remaining guerrillas and retreated down the mountain.

The Japanese army finally captured the defensive position north of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. A large number of Japanese officers and soldiers crossed the top of the mountain and continued to attack and advance towards the hinterland of the Taohua Mountain Village.

After receiving Geng Hua's report, Zhang Quan felt a little cold. You should know that the north is very close to the airport of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas. After climbing over a small hill, the Japanese could directly destroy the airport.

He hurriedly ordered Geng Hua to take the remaining defeated generals to strengthen the defense on the hill north of the airport and to prevent the Japanese army from destroying the airport. At the same time, he also dispatched 200 guerrillas to support Geng Hua and defend the airport.

Shigeru Fujita received a report of breaking through the hills north of Taohua Mountain. He was overjoyed and immediately ordered the Japanese army to invest more troops and continue to attack and advance forward.
