At 4 a.m., the captain of Watanabe looked at his watch and saw that it was almost dawn and a burst of fatigue came, so he decided to take a nap.

He just closed his eyes and was awakened by the explosion. He originally thought that the Third Battalion had launched another breakthrough operation, but he was not very worried about this, because his troops were already on high alert and would definitely be able to continue to fight the Third Battalion's attack.

However, he soon felt something was wrong, because the explosion was not from the direction of the county town, but from the rear of his troops.

The explosion was not loud, it seemed that there was only a grenade explode, but the explosion of the grenade did not stop.

The explosions were mixed with the sounds of machine guns and rifles, which made him a little confused.

Not long after, the corps ran in and reported: "The corps leader, our army was attacked by the enemy. Because we couldn't see clearly at night, we could only judge the enemy's strength from the firelight flashing at the enemy's muzzle. There were about one hundred people, and their shooting skills were extremely accurate, and our officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties."

The captain of Watanabe's regiment heard that the enemy had only more than one hundred people, but did not care too much, and said, "Order the troops to hold their positions and not attack rashly, so as not to fall into the ambush of the enemy."

The corps leader's approach was correct, and he was blinding. He didn't know how many enemy troops there were outside, so he could only wait until dawn to determine the enemy situation before making a decision.

He firmly believed that as long as he guarded the position and surrounded the third camp tightly in Baolin County, the enemy would have no choice but to escape when dawn.

"Hayi." The couplet agreed and went out to convey the order.

The gunshots and explosions outside continued to sound. After about 20 minutes, the couple ran back.

He said with a frustration: "The situation is very bad, our troops have suffered heavy casualties and they can hardly bear it."

The captain of the regiment became a little angry, and he scolded: "Bageyaru, the enemy outside is just a small army, and our army has thousands of troops. What's there to worry about?"

The United Nations League commented: "The enemy's gunman is really accurate. As long as the officers and soldiers of our army fire back, they will be sniped by enemy gunmen and suffer heavy casualties.

This is not the worst. The enemy kept throwing grenades into our positions. The soldiers of the Yellow Army had no idea where the enemy's grenades were thrown from. What was most terrifying was that the enemy's grenades were thrown very accurately, as if they had eyes. Wherever there were many people in our army, the grenades exploded and had nowhere to hide.

The Sakamoto team could no longer resist it. They had more than half of their casualties and had retreated now."

"Eight suppression of Lu is simply nonsense. How is this possible? The enemy throws grenades, can't you throw grenades?" the corps captain said angrily.

The joint commented: "I said the same to Captain Sakamoto, but he said they did the same. They believed that the enemy who threw the grenades was nearby, so they also organized a group of soldiers to throw grenades in front, but there was no effect at all. In order to eliminate the enemy who threw grenades, Captain Sakamoto also organized an infantry squad and rushed to the front 50 meters of the front line of the position. Still no bomb droppers could be found. Instead, they encountered the enemy's attack and the entire squad was destroyed."

Hearing this, the team leader's expression became solemn.

He remembered the relevant notices about Gao Jiu, a guerrilla team in Taohua Mountain, and knew that Gao Jiu could accurately throw grenades from a hundred meters away, and his special forces under him had accurate marksmanship.

Based on the current situation, and the superiors just reported that it was possible that Gao Jiu was operating in this area, he now judged that the person who attacked them might be Gao Jiu and his Taohua Mountain Guerrillas.

He knew the situation was serious, and while ordering the radio station soldiers to report the situation here to their superiors, he ordered the troops to hold their positions. He believed that as long as he persisted until dawn, he would be able to deal with it even if Gao Jiu and his Taohua Mountain guerrillas really came.

The Watanabe Regiment Captain made a mistake this time. The attackers were Gao Jiu and the brothers of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas. They still adopted effective old tactics. Some of the special forces members concealed the enemy and some used sniper rifles to annihilate the enemy.

Gao Jiu still took Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others to throw grenades at the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu threw grenades while approaching the enemy's position. He threw the grenades at the figures of the Japanese army he could see. He found that these Japanese were really tenacious. The guys hid in the trenches, and except for some retreating, the rest refused to withdraw.

Gao Jiu had no choice but to keep throwing grenades at them and destroying the Japanese soldiers one by one.

Gao Jiu threw out more than a hundred grenades in one breath, and soon the grenades brought by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were almost used up. Of course, this was not difficult for Gao Jiu.

He killed the Japanese soldiers around him and then entered the Japanese defensive positions. There were dead Japanese soldiers everywhere, and many of them had grenades on their bodies. They picked up the ghosts of the Japanese soldiers and continued to blow up the Japanese soldiers.

The special forces members also followed Gao Jiu and gradually opened a big gap in the Japanese defensive positions.

When the captain of Watanabe's regiment heard the explosion of grenades, he knew that every explosion of grenade would probably lead to casualties among his officers and soldiers.

However, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, hoping to persevere until dawn.

Unfortunately, Gao Jiu was moving too fast, and the sound of the grenade explosion continued to sound. Not only that, he was getting closer and closer to him.

With a "boom", a grenade exploded less than 20 meters away from him, and the Japanese soldiers injured by the bomb screamed.

Immediately afterwards, another grenade flew over, which was closer to Captain Watanabe, less than 10 meters away.

Watanabe was really scared. He was worried that the next grenade would fly over and take his life. He hurriedly retreated and ran not far away. A grenade exploded in the air and killed the corps behind him on the spot.

A shrapnel pierced into Watanabe's shoulder, and the piercing pain made him hum.

He could no longer bear it. If he continued like this, he would not be able to hold on until dawn. I am afraid the entire regiment would be killed.

He no longer cared about the third battalion surrounding the city. After giving the order to retreat, he took the lead in running away.

Watanabe escaped very panickedly, and even the commander of the security area on the other side of the county town did not notify him.

When Gao Jiu saw the Japanese soldiers fleeing, he threw several grenades at them and drove them further away. Then he led the members of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to annihilate the injured Japanese soldiers who were still struggling, and completely lifted the Japanese soldiers' siege on the east gate of Baolin County.

Guan Tieshan and others discovered that the Japanese army outside the city was attacked, and they also wanted to take the opportunity to break through.

However, they felt that the number of attackers was not large and could not see the situation outside. In addition, the last breakthrough hurt many people, so they could no longer organize forces to carry out the breakthrough operation, so they kept observing on the city wall, trying to figure out the situation before making a decision.

Gradually, they stopped hearing the gunshots outside the city. They knew that there were many Japanese soldiers outside the city, and this should be because the attackers had been repelled by the Japanese soldiers. He was a little glad that he did not rashly organize a breakthrough operation, otherwise he would not have known how many brothers from the third battalion would have to sacrifice.

Suddenly a voice came over, and the sound was not loud, but Guan Tieshan and others could hear it clearly.

The voice outside the city shouted: "Mr. Huang, Battalion Commander Guan, I am Gao Jiu of Taohua Mountain. The devils have escaped. Have you heard it clearly? If you hear it clearly, use a torch to draw three circles on the top of the city."

Guan Tieshan heard it, it was really Gao Jiu's voice.

He said excitedly: "Brothers, it's Mr. Gao Jiu and the others who are here to save us, hurry up! Come and bring the torch."

Guan Tieshan took the torch from a guerrilla, stood on the head of the city, shaking and drawing three circles.

Gao Jiu said: "Now we'll go there, let's open the city gate."

Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui ran down the city and ordered the guerrillas to open the city gate and greet Gao Jiu and others at the city gate.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and Taohua Mountain guerrillas came over.

Huang Rui and Guan Tieshan hurriedly came forward. Guan Tieshan excitedly stretched out his hands, held Gao Jiu's hand, and said, "Master Jiu, I am so grateful. You and the brothers in Taohua Mountain saved our third camp again. I really don't know how to thank you."

Huang Rui looked around and asked in confusion: "Where are the Japanese outside the city?"

Wang Zhankui smiled and said, "Half of the Japanese died, and the remaining half escaped."

Huang Rui said in disbelief: "There are thousands of Japanese outside the city, and you really got beaten away?"

Wang Zhankui said, "You will know that you send someone outside to see it. There are many dead ghosts there, leaving a lot of weapons and ammunition. Send your people to get it back."

Guan Tieshan said excitedly: "Jiu Master, the third leader, you are so amazing." After that, he ordered a captain of his subordinates to take people out and search for weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese soldiers.

Gao Jiu said: "Battleman Guan, this is not a place to stay for a long time. If the Japanese send planes to bomb after dawn, the losses will be great. Taking advantage of the current Japanese encirclement being broken, we will lead the troops to break through."

Guan Tieshan originally planned this way, but of course he had no objection. Huang Rui now realized that his view was wrong, and he also praised the establishment of a breakthrough.

Gao Jiu said that he would take the Taohuashan guerrillas to attack the Japanese army on the Ximen side now, and asked Guan Tieshan and others to lead the Third Battalion to wait until the battle outside the city starts, open the city gate and kill them out, and eliminate the Japanese army outside the West Gate.

Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui both agreed with Gao Jiu's opinion, and they immediately entered the city and organized troops to prepare for a breakthrough.

Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui led the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to the west gate of the city to attack the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu and others came to the west gate of the city, but found that they were one step late and the Japanese had already withdrawn.

It turned out that the commander of the Binjiang Public Security Zone heard that the battle was going on very fiercely at the east gate of the city, and thought that the third battalion launched the breakthrough operation again. He and the captain of Watanabe had an agreement. No matter which side there was a problem, the other side must stick to their positions to avoid being trapped by the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Therefore, he remained motionless and was ready to be prepared for the enemy to break through at any time.

When the gunfire in the east of the city gradually subsided, he sent someone to check the situation, but only to see that the Watanabe United had escaped. The commander of the security zone was not a fool. While scolding Watanabe for being unrighteous, he also fled with his subordinates in panic.

The Japanese army withdrew, and the third battalion could evacuate calmly. They began to move towards the mountains and forests with a large number of weapons and ammunition seized, as well as the food, cloth and other materials collected in the city.

Gao Jiu and others were responsible for the cover behind. After a day and night of march, the troops of the Third Battalion came to some villages near the mountainous areas and stationed.

Guan Tieshan has long-term experience in fighting guerrillas. He sent people to divide some of the food and other materials into the secret camps in the mountains, and prepared to withdraw the entire third battalion of the entire mountain once the Japanese and puppet troops were attacked by a large-scale attack by the Japanese and puppet troops.

Guan Tieshan and Huang Rui reorganized the Third Battalion. At this time, some of the new recruits who followed them to the mountainous areas died in battle, and some of them left the army. Now there are more than 6,500 people coming to the mountainous areas. Although the number has decreased a little, it is also a good thing. After those who are not determined to leave, the people who stay are even more capable.

Gao Jiu asked Guan Tieshan and others to hurry up and train the troops, and the Taohua Mountain Tour Team was responsible for the surrounding alert. They had to wait here for the troops from the Third Military Sub-district of Hebei East to arrive.

The captain of Watanabe's regiment fled to Binjiang County with the defeated generals and reported to his superiors about the battle with the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Fengtian City, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

After receiving the report, the commander of the Kwantung Army said with a serious expression: "We are indeed not wrong. Gao Jiu has really come outside the pass and is now inciting those anti-Japanese elements to carry out destruction. The security situation in the Binjiang Public Security Zone has seriously deteriorated."

The chief of staff sighed and said, "What should come is coming after all. We rejected Gao Jiu, and it was expected that he would come to take revenge. Fortunately, Gao Jiu is just struggling in the mountainous areas and will not affect it for the time being. If the anti-Japanese elements are allowed to grow and grow in the Binjiang area, it may spread to other public security areas. We must send troops to wipe it out immediately."

The commander said: "Gao Jiu came outside the pass and joined forces with the anti-Japanese elements outside the pass. At least we can grasp his whereabouts and facilitate mobilizing the army to encircle and suppress them. You should inform us now and convene a combat meeting immediately."

Gao Jiu sent special forces members to help the third battalion train the troops, while taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army did not come to attack, he continued to attack the group tribe, and every time he had to bring a thousand new recruits.
