Access host machine services plus docker service from docker container

Docker Desktop for Windows

I am running my “golang” and redis service using docker. my application config file is

database:
	engine: "mysql"
	username: "root"
	password: ""
	host:     "127.0.0.1"
	port:     "3306"
	db:       "dummy_db"

cache:
    engine : "redis"
    host : "redis"
	# host : "127.0.0.1"
    port : "6379"
    db : 1
    maxconn : 10

and my docker-compose file is

goApp:
        build:
            context: .
            dockerfile: goApp/Dockerfile
        image: goApp
        container_name: goApp-apis
        restart: always
        working_dir: /go/src/goApp
        depends_on:
            - "redis"
        ports:
            - '9090:9090'
        network_mode: "host"
        entrypoint: ["/entrypoint.sh"]
        command: ["apis"]
		

redis:
	image: redis
	container_name: redis
	restart: always
	ports:
		- '6379:6379'
	volumes:
		- './volumes/redis-data:/data'

In my host machine redis is not installed.
From my application i want to access my host machine mysql and redis from docker.

To connect with my host machine i am using network_mode=host or network_mode=bridge. with this mysql connection is successful… but not able to connect with redis.
if i removed network_mode then redis connection is successful …but not able to connect with mysql.

So please suggest me how i can access mysql from host machine and redis from docker container.
Thanks in advance.
