Standing on the mountain ridge, Gao Yidao counted the time with his fingers and arrived at the agreed place earlier than scheduled.
This is the defense area of the neighboring guerrilla detachment of the Independent Regiment.
There's gunfire to the west...
The Japanese were on a raid, so it was strange that there was no gunfire.
Gao Yidao was no stranger to this area. The Black Tiger Village he found was at the foot of the mountain more than sixty miles away to the east.
It's just that the control area of his cottage is weak, and it can't even be considered a base.
Three years ago, the friendly forces deliberately caused friction at the signal of the Chongqing leader, and were beaten to a pulp by the Eighth Route Army in this area.
The two sides have been fighting each other.
Later, the Eighth Route Army took the overall situation into consideration, disregarded past grievances, and agreed with the friendly forces to use this area as the boundary.
Garrisoned in this area is a territorial guerrilla detachment that is one level lower than the independent regiment.
At present, the friendly forces in the south and east have surrendered to the enemy, and the friendly forces in the west are expected to do so soon.
The mission he assigned was to rescue the officers of the friendly staff who were trapped in the mountains by the Japanese.
In his opinion, these people all converted from enemy forces to friendly forces.
There is little contact between the two parties.
Haha, of course the orders from superiors must be carried out, but how to carry them out...
After walking for two days, he figured out a problem: for this mission, the regiment leader did not arrange for Wu Yan, nor did he arrange for Hao Ping, but he found him, a "national army" who couldn't see in his eyes and couldn't hear in his ears. A few people will serve as reinforcements.
Obviously, Shili must be doing it for the sake of face...
Leading the way were local guerrillas, and the tall battalion commander sent out soldiers to look around.
Then spread out the map and set out the compass.
There are also messy notes on the map that have been drawn by Hu Zhasui with red and blue pencils.
It's just that the mountainous area on the map looks very clean, which shows that the person named Hu has never been to this area before.
Gao Yidao learned basic map-making and map-recognition skills entirely by relying on this map.
Seeing the battalion commander staring at the map in a daze, his subordinate company commander couldn't bear the loneliness and asked directly: "Battal Commander, should we take a rest first and go down at the appointed time?"
"The Japanese went into the mountains to raid the mountains, and we worked very hard, but they stayed in the subdivision to enjoy their leisure time..."
After listening to the chatter, the first company commander fell silent.
A soldier trotted over: "Report, the guerrilla detachment sent someone to contact us... They said that our brother's troops were besieged by the Japanese, and asked us to go over and reinforce..."
"Guerrilla detachment?"
"It is said that a team of a certain battalion was surrounded by Japanese soldiers..."
Gao Yidao didn't care whether he could save the friendly army staff or not, but he immediately became interested after hearing that he could fight the Japanese and save his brothers' team.
A battalion is surrounded, and I have the right opportunity, so I have to help!
As for who the friendly forces were, he didn't ask, nor did the person sent to contact them tell them.
And the sentry was very proud to tell the guerrilla detachment contact person that he was in the second battalion.
So much so that the liaison officer who knew more or less about the situation of the Independent Regiment did not regard Gao Yidao and his party as a team of the Independent Regiment.
From the liaison officer's point of view, after all, the other party did not agree to reinforcements on the spot, and he could not tell everyone everything he knew about the situation.
Soon after, the men who had been conducting reconnaissance came back to report the situation.
Gao Yidao carefully marked on the map: there are a large number of Japanese in the west, and there are left-behind villagers and intelligence personnel in a certain village.
The soldiers who scouted south found no one.
Xiangdong... met the people who developed the Black Tiger Village into the mountains...
He quickly opened the map and traced it with his fingers for a long time. Finally, he discovered that the current location was more than sixty miles west of Black Tiger Village.
After thinking about it, I drew a circle at the original location of Black Tiger Village to the east.
This map was often the subject of joint research with Hu Zasui. Out of some psychology, Gao Yidao did not mark Black Tiger Village on the map.
He is self-aware, and until now, he often cannot even figure out his specific location.
Maybe things will get better after studying at Kangda University...
The guerrilla detachment belongs to Shanxi Province, operates in the western mountainous area of the Independent Regiment, and is a neighbor of the Independent Regiment.
In the mountains, the defense areas of both sides are very large, except for the personnel in the joint department who often communicate with each other.
Others were unfamiliar with each other.
Please ask Gao Yidao to participate in this rescue operation. The guerrilla detachment really cannot draw enough combatants.
And the sentry was very proud to tell the guerrilla detachment contact person that he was in the second battalion.
So much so that the liaison officer who knew more or less about the situation of the Independent Regiment did not regard Gao Yidao and his party as a team of the Independent Regiment.
So far, we have not been able to detect the location of the friendly military staff, so we can only wait until dark to arrive at the agreed location.
Whether the Second Battalion should go to the west to reinforce the guerrilla detachment was a question facing Gao Yidao.
Of course, rescuing friendly troops is not as important as reinforcing brotherly troops.
If it weren't for the fact that this order was personally issued by the commander-in-chief.
It is entirely possible that he would leave a squad to join the friendly forces, while he would lead his men to join the guerrilla detachment to fight the Japanese and rescue the besieged brother troops.
Gao Yidao frowned, thinking over and over again in his mind.
The little devil actually entered the mountain from his Black Tiger Village area.
So far, he has not received any news from Black Tiger Village while gathering at Sanjia.
There are possibilities for this situation. One is that Black Tiger Village was completely wiped out by the Japs, and the other is that the Japs did not enter the mountains from the Black Tiger Village area.
He hoped to help the trapped friendly forces, but he had to carry out the orders given by the commander in front of the division.
For a moment, I was a little undecided, so I directly asked the company commander next to me: "Tell me, should we go rescue the friendly forces?"
The company commander under his command didn't know Gao Yidao's temper, so he quickly replied: "In my opinion, the guerrilla team said that the trapped friendly troops are in Tongtian Gorge in the west. It will take at least half a day for us to get there. It will be dark early when we arrive. We can't take action because the situation at night is unclear. It's better to get the people from the friendly staff here first and then go to reinforce them. Anyway, it will be after dawn tomorrow..."
...
The afternoon sun is even less warm.
Sentinel correspondents from all directions of the Ninth Battalion kept running up the mountain ridge.
"The Japs in the valley to the west have turned north..."
"Most of the Japanese chasing behind us are retreating..."
"The Japs in the canyon are making movements again. They seem to be packing up their camp and may retreat eastward."
"The Japs in the north have already set up their formation and are expected to attack the mountains soon..."
One after another, the warrior figures became nervous and trotted northward.
In the current situation, only the Japanese from the north will launch an attack.
Due to the terrain, the Japs were unable to attack from the east and west sides. Likewise, it was difficult for the Ninth Battalion to break out from the east and west sides.
The Japanese only need to leave a small force behind, and the people of the Ninth Battalion will immediately become targets if they want to retreat from the cliff.
Next to the northernmost sentinel.
Hu Yi put his rifle aside and held a telescope in his right hand to observe carefully.
The fact that the Japanese chose to attack in the afternoon must be related to the battle in the canyon in the morning.
It has more to do with the singing in the canyon.
Until now, Hu Yi has not decided on the direction to break out.
There are sparse vegetation and shrubs on the mountain ridges, and the terrain has large undulations.
In addition to using human lives to make up for the enemy's attack, they can only use artillery shells to make up for it!
There is only one reason for the Japanese to engage in such a large-scale battle against a low-class Eighth Route Army unit like the Ninth Battalion.
Because the Nine Battalions got involved with the Secret Service.
Until now, Hu Yi had not fully understood the reason why the Japanese surrounded and refused to attack the Nine Battalions with great fanfare.
Combined with the changes in the Japs in the East and West Canyons and the Valleys on both sides, and the Japs in the north, they were finally ready to take action.
He finally figured out one of the reasons: it could mobilize a large group in the canyon, and most of the reinforcements from the east would be people from the secret service group.
The Japanese are planning to attack Jiuying because Jiuying is no longer of use value!
As for why a regiment appeared, it probably has nothing to do with the Ninth Battalion...
