When the Japanese commander in Changning City heard that the Taohua Mountain guerrillas were surrounded in Baolan County, he immediately mobilized his troops to come for reinforcements.

By 3:30 pm, the Japanese army outside the city had exceeded one infantry regiment, and there was about a regiment of Huang Xiejun, and the situation became very serious.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu brothers and Taohua Mountain guerrillas still did not take these Japanese and puppet troops seriously. They firmly believed that at night, there would be a way to break out of the siege.

Wang Jianming and his agents did not think so. Seeing so many Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, they felt that there was a lot of danger, so they borrowed the radio station of the Taohuashan guerrillas to report to the military chief Changning Station.

The stationmaster of Changning Station reported the situation here to the Military Command Headquarters. After learning about this situation, the Military Command Headquarters informed Gao Jiu.

When Gao Jiu learned that Ning Wen and the two brothers Ning Wu were surrounded by Baolan County, he immediately sent a telegram to Ning Wen and Ning Wu to inquire about the situation here.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu did not expect to alarm Master Jiu, so they sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that they would rest assured that they would definitely have a way to break through at night.

Gao Jiu didn't think so. There were so many Japanese and puppet troops outside the city, and they would definitely carry a lot of artillery. No matter how powerful Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the special forces members were, they would inevitably suffer major casualties under the attack of artillery fire. Gao Jiu would never refuse to save his brothers.

He immediately mobilized a large number of transport planes and bombers, led two special operations squadrons to Yichang, preparing to refuel there, and then fly to Baolan to rescue Ning Wen, Ning Wu brothers and special forces members.

Commander Yang was very happy to hear that Gao Jiu was coming, so he took his generals to the airport to greet Gao Jiu and others in person.

The transport plane had just stopped at the airport, and Gao Jiu got off the plane. Commander Yang and others came forward and greeted Gao Jiu intimately.

Gao Jiu exchanged a few greetings with everyone and said, "Brother Yang, I must set off immediately and I will have a drink with you when I come back."

Commander Yang said, "Brother Gao, don't worry, you have prepared everything for you, and the plane will be refueled soon. Everyone you want is also prepared for you. It's my guard group. Do you see enough?"

Before Gao Jiu came, he had already sent a telegram to Chief Yang, asking him to prepare in advance, refuel the plane, and sent an army to follow him to rescue Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others.

Commander Yang sent his guard regiment over. The guard regiment of the 20th Corps was equipped with advanced weapons provided by Gao Jiu's arsenal, with a population of more than 3,000, and was a very elite unit.

Gao Jiu looked at it, and the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment arranged neatly on the airport nodded with satisfaction.

Commander Yang called the guard commander over and said to him: "Ge Zhicheng, from now on, you will obey Brother Gao's command and must not have any acts of disobeying orders. Do you understand?"

The guard commander Ge Zhicheng was 32 or 3 years old, and he looked smart and capable. He had admired Gao Jiu for a long time and was very excited to be able to fight side by side with the famous Jiu Ye. He said loudly: "Yes, Commander, I understand, I understand everything and obey Jiu Ye's orders."

Gao Jiu has always been generous in his actions and never treats his comrades who fought side by side with him. Now it is the time to use people, so he has to add a glory to Commander Yang's face.

He asked someone to carry several large boxes that had been prepared, all of which were covered with white oceans, each soldier had 50 oceans, and officers gave more rewards according to their level.

The ocean was sent to the officers and soldiers of the guard regiment on the spot, and promised to wait until Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were rescued, and they would give them another reward after they came back.

The officers and soldiers of the Guard Corps heard that they could fight with the famous Gao Jiuye, and they were already very motivated. Seeing that Jiuye was so generous, they were all extremely excited. Under the leadership of the regiment commander Ge Zhicheng, the slogans were shouted loudly.

Time waited for no one. Guo Hengming took the officers and soldiers of the Guard Corps to Baolan County in armored vehicles and a large number of cars. Gao Jiu and others waited until the plane was filled with fuel, and immediately took off and went to rescue Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others.

Baolan County.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others were short of troops and could not defend the county town, so they retreated to a corner of the county town, using two walls and a building in the corner, preparing to fight with the Japanese army and stand for help.

The Japanese commander knew that the Taohuashan guerrillas were very powerful, so he sent a large number of troops, some of whom entered the city and prepared to launch an attack, and some set up cannons outside the city to bomb the city wall, and then rushed into the city to eliminate the Taohuashan guerrillas.

In the past, the artillery equipped by the Japanese army was mainly 9   2                                                   �

Today, the Japanese army has also equipped some 102mm howitzers. The Japanese bullied the guerrillas in the city without artillery, so they simply pushed the 102mm howitzers to a place several hundred meters away from the city wall, preparing to use artillery to blow the gaps in the city wall.

Ning Wen on the city wall, Ning Wu was also a little scared when he saw this scene. They did not carry long-range artillery when they came out to perform the mission this time. Whether it was an 82mm recoilless cannon, a rocket launcher or a mortar, they could not reach the Japanese army, and they could only be beaten passively.

When the two brothers were worried, they suddenly received a telegram from Gao Jiu asking about their situation, saying that the bomber had taken off and asked them to indicate the target for the bomber.

Ning Wu and Ning Wen were a little puzzled. They did not send a telegram to Jiu Ye for help. Unexpectedly, Jiu Ye had already arrived in Yichang like a divine weapon descending from the sky and was flying to Baolan County.

The two brothers told the special forces members the good news, and everyone couldn't help but cheer.

The Japanese army outside the city heard the cheers inside the city and was not sure what was going on. They continued to debug the artillery and then began the test firing.

The 102mm howitzer is still very powerful. The city walls of Baolan County are only built with rammed earth. Bricks are added on both sides, which cannot withstand the shooting of such a large caliber howitzer. With one shot, a large piece will be blown up, and the city walls will begin to collapse.

At this moment, the roar of the plane suddenly came from the sky. The bomber pilots contacted Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others with radio telephones and asked them to instruct the Japanese army's target.

Ning Wu was very excited and said, "We are all in the northwest corner of the county town. There are Japanese and puppet troops outside the city. You can just blow it up."

In order to avoid hurting their own people, the pilots lowered their flight altitude and dropped aviation bombs on the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city at a distance of only a few hundred meters above the ground.

At the beginning, the Japanese army did not know where these planes came from, and they thought they were their own planes.

They were wondering, because the commander did not ask for help from the Air Force, and they did not understand why the Japanese Air Force, which was so big, suddenly extended a helping hand to them?

When they saw the aviation bombs falling from the sky, they understood why the guerrillas in the city cheered. It turned out that they were bombers from the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The Japanese soldiers were bombed and raised horses were overturned. The Japanese who were lucky enough to live were running around. The puppet soldiers ran desperately like flocks of sheep, only to regret that their parents gave birth to legs.

Wang Jianming and others were surrounded by so many Japanese and puppet troops in the city. They originally thought they would definitely be over. Now they are very upset and feel that they are very unlucky today. They were surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops at the beginning and almost died. They were finally rescued by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, but they ended up in a heavy siege again.

When they heard that the Taohuashan guerrilla air force came to support, they immediately became excited.

At this moment, they couldn't help but cheer when they saw the Japanese and puppet troops outside the city.

The Japanese and puppet troops outside the city were bombed and fled in scattered areas, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the city were also very panicked. These Japanese and puppet troops had never fought with the Taohua Mountain guerrillas before, but now they understand the effectiveness of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The Japanese commander was very smart. He knew that if he evacuated from the city, he would be bombed by enemy planes and would suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, it would be better to stay in the city. There were people from Taohuashan guerrillas and ordinary people in the city. The Taohuashan guerrillas' air force should not be able to bomb.

Therefore, they continued to confront the Taohua Mountain guerrillas in the city.

Just as the bomber bombed the Japanese army, Gao Jiu and others rode a transport plane outside the county town.

Gao Jiu brought two special operations squadrons this time, and they quickly launched an airborne and then launched an attack on the Japanese and puppet troops in the city.

The Japanese army in the city was attacked by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas led by Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Gao Jiu. At the beginning, they thought the guerrillas had no advantage in street fighting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle started, they truly felt the power of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The Taohua Mountain guerrillas not only had proper tactics, but also had weapons in their hands suitable for street combat. The Japanese firepower points were destroyed by rocket launchers and 82mm recoilless cannons one by one.

The Japanese army had nowhere to hide, and they felt like they were exposed to the wild. The Japanese officers and soldiers could not resist the attacks of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, either being beaten to death or injured, or fleeing everywhere.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the guerrillas led by them were all excited and burst into tears when they saw Master Gao Jiu. In their minds, Gao Jiu was his father, his brother, and a backer who could rely on at any time.

Wang Jianming had heard of Gao Jiu's name for a long time. This was the first time he saw this legendary figure. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He forgot to salute Gao Jiu for a while and his speech was a little stuttering.

Gao Jiu said affectionately: "Brother Wang, thanks to you today. If you hadn't informed the Military Control Commission, I wouldn't have known that you were trapped here."

Then Wang Jianming saluted Gao Jiuli and said, "Master Jiu, this is what it should be. I also want to thank you for saving me and the brothers of the Military Control Commission."

Next, Gao Jiu learned about the local enemy situation from Wang Jianming, and said that he would bring Ning Wen, Ning Wu and the brothers from Taohua Mountain to Yichang, and asked him if he could provide a guide.

Wang Jianming was very brave and said that he was familiar with this area and was willing to serve as a guide for Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu knew that this area was occupied by enemy areas, and now their whereabouts had already exploded. The Japanese army's large group of troops were likely to be coming here. He wanted to take the brothers of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas out of danger and return to Yichang as soon as possible.

This place is 210 kilometers away from Yichang. You have to pass through the defense zone of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army on the way. There may be wars to fight on the road.

Changning City Japanese Military Police Command.

Commander Deyu Yamamoto received a report that the Japanese and puppet troops who went to besiege Baolan County were almost destroyed. The anti-Japanese elements surrounded by the county actually received support from the air force, and the weapons they used were very advanced.

He realized that in recent times, the anti-Japanese armed forces that have created chaos in this area are not ordinary anti-Japanese armed forces. He heard that it is very likely that they are from the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Now he is basically sure that these people are really from the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Commander Yamamoto realized the seriousness of the problem and reported to his superiors.

When his superiors heard that they were from the Taohuashan guerrillas, they did not dare to neglect them, so they reported the situation to the Central China Front Army Command step by step.

The Central Front Army had not dealt with Gao Jiu for a long time, and they even had business dealings with Gao Jiu. Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu would send someone to the territory of the Central Front Army to make trouble.

The commander said angrily: "Gao Jiu is really too much. We haven't provoked him recently. Why did he send someone to our jurisdiction to make trouble?"

The Chief of Staff also felt a headache when he heard the news. After thinking about it, he said: "According to the report, the main goal of these people is not to attack our troops, but to rob property. I heard that Gao Jiu is buying gold on a large scale, I am afraid that it is related to this matter."

The commander said: "We have business dealings with Gao Jiu. It's too much for him to do this."

The Chief of Staff suggested: "Mr. Commander, I think in order to avoid greater misunderstandings, it is better to contact Gao Jiu directly to see what his intentions are, and then let's make plans."

The commander said: "What you said makes sense. Gao Jiu really can't afford to provoke him. Please contact him as soon as possible."

Under the guidance of Wang Jianming, Gao Jiu and others were preparing to cross the defense zone of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army to return to Yichang. The area they are now located is the east bank of the Yangtze River. If you want to return to Yichang, you have to cross the Yangtze River, which is a very troublesome thing.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Guo Hengming, asking them to rush to the riverside and try to raise a batch of ferries to pick them up to cross the river.

Gao Jiu knew that there was a Japanese defense fleet on the Yangtze River. In order to avoid being intercepted by the enemy's defense fleet when crossing the river, Gao Jiu planned to attack the Japanese port first and kill the defense fleet.

Gao Jiu and others were marching. Jia Liu received a telegram from the Central China Front Army, which said in the telegram: "Dear Mr. Gao: The Central China Front Army and Mr. Gao have reached a tacit understanding. Why did Mr. Gao send people into our defense zone to create chaos and cause a large number of casualties of Huang army soldiers? This seems a bit unreasonable? Please explain the intention of doing this. We can discuss anything."
