The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 1053 Gifts
Seeing that the reinforcements were gone, the surrounded Japanese army became even more desperate and resisted for a while in vain, before being completely annihilated by the county brigade.

This small-scale battle aroused Gao Jiu's vigilance. Although there were not many troops from the devils this time, they were sent from the direction of Xuzhou after all.

Gao Jiu immediately notified the person in charge of the underground party and Gao Hong to let them rush to repair the fortifications and prepare for the attack of the Japanese army in the Central China Front.At the same time, he asked the air force to bomb the Japanese army in Xuzhou, and first give them a warning, hoping to scare them and prevent them from participating in the North China Front Army's operations.

The captain of the Japanese army escaped back to Xuzhou City by chance, and reported their experience to the head of the division.The head of the division reported the situation to the commander of the Central China Front Army.

The commander of the Central China Front Army was very depressed. He didn't want to take the risk of provoking Gao Jiu again. He just gave the Japanese army in Xuzhou an order to prepare for the war. Without his order, they were not allowed to send troops to attack Tai'an.

He decided to hold back his troops for the time being, and he would send troops to respond after the North China Front Army actually launched an attack on Tai'an City.

In the next few days, the commander of the Central China Front Army received bad news one after another, saying that the enemy's air force had continuously bombed the Japanese army in the direction of Xuzhou for several days. .

Faced with this situation, the commander of the Central China Front Army also felt a deep sense of powerlessness.Now that there is no cooperation from the air force, he really doesn't know how to fight the next battle?
The Minister of the Army received a report from the Central China Front Army Command. The bad news made him have a splitting headache.It is really difficult for him now. The base camp keeps urging him to open up the Jinpu Railway, while the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army are passively avoiding the battle.

He was helpless now, and suddenly he felt a little envious of Tu Feiyuan.That old guy is now retiring and going home, leisurely living the life of a rich man, but he has come here to work hard, and he doesn't know how to live his life in the future.

The Minister of the Army forced himself to calm down. He carefully analyzed the current situation and accepted the suggestions of the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army. The top priority is to strengthen the air force. a tie.Only in this way will it be possible for the Japanese army to launch large-scale ground operations.

The Minister of the Army now understands that this is the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army making excuses for their delay in dispatching troops, but this is also the reality.

He had to send a telegram to the base camp, requesting to continue to send air forces to the North China and Central China Front Army to suppress and attack the air force of the anti-Japanese armed forces.

In this way, the enemy's situation in Shandong has become relatively calm again.

It doesn't matter to Gao Jiu, even if he can maintain this state until the end of the war, it is still a good choice.

Gao Jiu has nothing to do now, so he spends time with Xiao Yatong.

On this day, Ouyang Xue sent a telegram, saying that there were more and more investors from various countries, and the two original industrial zones could no longer accommodate them.She intends to build a new industrial estate near Chiang Mai.

Gao Jiu trusted Ouyang Xue very much, and would fully support whatever she decided.He immediately sent a telegram back to Ouyang Xue, asking her to discuss with the Xingzheng Committee and decide on her own, without asking him for instructions.

Gao Jiu told Xiao Yatong about this and suggested that she invest more in the Golden Triangle.

Xiao Yatong obeyed, and she immediately decided to invest 3000 million gold in the Golden Triangle to build a power plant and a water plant to provide electricity and drinking water for the new industrial park.

It is said that these belong to the Zhengzheng project, and the income is absolutely guaranteed. This is a big cake.For the sake of his beloved wife, Gao Jiu left this benefit to Xiao Yatong.

Xiao Yatong sent a telegram to Xiao Yuanshan, telling him of her decision, and she sent people to the Golden Triangle for investigation.

Xiao Yatong said hello to Gao Jiu on behalf of Gao Jiu, saying that she would stay with Gao Jiu for a while longer and that she was safe here, so please rest assured her father.

Xiao Yuanshan is a very shrewd person, he values ​​this son-in-law very much.He has no son, and has already regarded Gao Jiu as his successor.Although he knew that Gao Jiu had a huge property far beyond his own, he just thought so, and hoped that Gao Jiu could help him pass on the Xiao family.

Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yatong stayed in the United States for a long time, and they had little contact with Gao Jiu. He was very worried that because of the distance and time, the relationship between Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu would be alienated.So this time, he strongly advocated that Xiao Yatong come to China to accompany Gao Jiu.

Seeing his daughter staying by Gao Jiu's side, he was very happy, and immediately sent a telegram to Xiao Yatong, telling her not to worry about herself, not rushing back to deal with business matters, and letting her stay by Gao Jiu's side as much as possible, deepening Emotional connection between husband and wife.

In the telegram, he hoped that Xiao Yatong could have another child with Gao Jiu.

Now that Xiao Yatong had given birth to a boy, Xiao Yuanshan hoped that Xiao Yatong and Gao Jiu could have another boy, and let this boy have his surname, so as to continue the incense of the Xiao family.

During this period, the situation of the international anti-Japanese war developed rapidly. Since the Japanese army no longer had the support of the navy, in order to prevent the Japanese troops staying overseas from being defeated one by one, the Japanese army also began to shrink its territory in Southeast Asia, and successively abandoned Singapore and Malaysia. As well as the Philippines and other places, the Japanese troops in these places were shrunk to Vietnam and Thailand, which greatly strengthened the Japanese troops around the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu didn't want the Golden Triangle to be captured by the Japanese army at this last moment.He immediately asked Wang Zhankui to lead 1000 special forces members, 100 combat aircraft, and 100 armed helicopters to return to the Golden Triangle.

Lin Yanni has been paying attention to the movement of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia, and the large-scale mobilization of the Japanese army has aroused her vigilance even more.

She sent more people to listen to the intelligence of the Japanese army. Not long after, Lin Yanni sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying that the Japanese army who entered Thailand did not stay in Thailand, but continued to go north and entered the country.As for the final destination of these Japanese troops, Gao Jiu had to obtain relevant information by himself.

Gao Jiu reported the news to the military command and the underground party. Soon after, the military command first sent the news that the six divisions of the 18th Army and the 25th Army of the Japanese Army retreated from Malaysia and Singapore. Under the leadership of the army, all the way north, the destination should be Shandong, and these troops are likely to participate in the battle in the direction of Tai'an.

Gao Jiu has now basically figured out that the Japanese army will not attack the Golden Triangle, but will send heavy troops to open up the Jinpu Railway.

His judgment is correct, Tai'an has become the key to the life and death of the Japanese army today.The Japanese base camp made up its mind to open up the Jinpu Railway at all costs.

This time the Minister of the Army no longer plays a decisive role, but is directly commanded by the headquarters.They sent a telegram to the Minister of War asking him to supervise the North and Central China Fronts.

At the same time, the base camp plans to build 12 field airfields, and plans to transfer part of the combat aircraft of the Kwantung Army and the air force deployed in North Korea to participate in operations in the direction of Shandong.

The base camp also asked the country to work overtime and seize the time to produce fighter jets and bombers, and they were also dispatched to Shandong.

Yamashita Fengwen led the main forces of the 18th Army and the 25th Army to deploy directly on the front line of Xuzhou, ready to attack Tai'an at any time.

After receiving Gao Jiu's report, the underground party attached great importance to it.In order to defend Tai'an City, the underground party decided to withdraw 16 brigades from Hebei and Shanxi, with a strength of more than 10 horses, to participate in the battle in the direction of Shandong.

After a comprehensive analysis of all kinds of intelligence, Gao Jiu believed that the Japanese army was determined to launch the Tai'an campaign this time.With the two front armies of the North China and Central China of the Japanese Army, together with the 18th Army and the 25th Army of Yamashita Fengfumi, the total strength of the Japanese army participating in the war may exceed 50.

The coalition forces participating in the war were only the underground party anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong, plus Wang Jindong's 76th Corps and Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas, and their strength was completely unable to compete with the Japanese army.

In order to win this large-scale battle, support from the Guofu must be obtained.

Gao Jiu decided to fly to Chongqing in person to do work in the Guofu and asked them to send troops to participate in the battle.

Gao Jiu first came to the Ninth Theater Command, met with the chief and the chief of staff, and hoped that they could send troops to attack the Japanese Central China Front Army to contain the Japanese troops.They were asked to attack the Japanese army once the battle in the direction of Tai'an started.

The chiefs of the Ninth War Zone believed that if the Japanese army of the Central China Front Army mobilized heavy troops to fight in the direction of Shandong, the troops in Central China would be empty.There is no problem if it is purely from a military point of view, but such a large-scale campaign cannot be decided at their level, and they have to ask their superiors for instructions.

Gao Jiu expressed his understanding and asked them to follow the procedures they should follow.However, he also put his words here, saying that Gao Jiu has never done anything wrong to Guofu for so many years. If Guofu does not help at this critical moment, they will no longer be friends with each other in the future. He will never help the government in the future.

Gao Jiu clearly pointed out that this is probably the last big battle against Japan. Whether he wants to watch the excitement, watch the fire from the other side, be stabbed in the back by later generations, or be an anti-Japanese hero, depends on the Guofu side in this battle. show.

Over the years, the Ninth War Zone did not know how many times he had received help from the Taohuashan guerrillas. For the sake of the Ninth War Zone, Gao Jiu himself had gone through life and death many times, fighting bloody battles with the Japanese army.The Ninth War Zone owes Gao Jiu a lot of favors, and they also know that they cannot refuse Gao Jiu's request from an emotional point of view, and they will definitely try their best to help.

In terms of benefits alone, the Ninth War Zone asked Gao Jiu for help, far more than Gao Jiu asked them for help.

Now that Gao Jiu is talking about this, the chiefs of the Ninth War Zone have absolutely no room for evasion. They said that they will try their best to persuade their superiors to agree that the Ninth War Zone will coordinate the Tai'an Campaign in the Shandong direction.

Gao Jiu knew that the Japanese army was currently dispatching troops, and there was not much time left for him. He didn't want to practice Tai Chi with the Guofu side, so he sat and waited at the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, insisting on making a result. .

The chiefs of the Ninth War Zone made great efforts, so that the Guofu finally agreed to Gao Jiu's request.

Guofu decided to join forces with Gao Jiu, and the Ninth War Zone decided to dispatch 12 armies and 43 divisions with a total strength of 51 troops to participate in this battle.Their main task was to send these troops to attack the Japanese army. Once the Japanese army deployed heavy troops and left the original defense zone, they would take advantage of the vacancy and regain the territory occupied by the Japanese army.

The reason why Guofu made such a big deal is because it is also profitable for them.The battle in the Shandong direction will contain a large number of Japanese troops, and Guofu can reap the benefits of fishermen, so it has a certain degree of enthusiasm.

Gao Jiu is satisfied with this.Although the Guofu side is for their own interests, objectively it still serves the purpose of containing the Japanese army's strength and cooperating with the Shandong direction.

In order to show his sincerity, the ninth theater also gave Gao Jiu a generous gift.They agreed to send part of the Sichuan Army troops they belonged to to go directly to Shandong to participate in the battle in the direction of Tai'an.

In doing so, they also have their own considerations.The Ninth War Zone not only looked down on motley troops like the Sichuan Army, but also regarded them as aliens, hoping to consume them in the process of fighting the Japanese army.The Ninth War Zone knew that Gao Jiu had a good relationship with the Sichuan Army, so it happened to be a favor.

After Gao Jiu left Chongqing, he came to Yichang. General Yang told Gao Jiu that he had received an order from the Chief of the Ninth War Zone and planned to send troops from an army belonging to the 20th Corps, plus an artillery regiment, to Shandong to hand over to Gao Jiu. Nine commands.Moreover, the troops of this army will be led by him personally.

He regards Gao Jiu as his best friend and brother, and when Gao Jiu needs it, he will naturally lend a helping hand.

Gao Jiu understood the thoughts of the Ninth War Zone, but he also pretended not to know, and expressed his gratitude to the Ninth War Zone.

At the same time, he asked the Ninth War Zone to provide the Sichuan Army with weapons, equipment and supplies as well as part of the military expenses.

The Ninth War Zone understood Gao Jiu's intentions, and since they had already made a gesture of helping Gao Jiu, they didn't care about paying more.They agreed to Gao Jiu's request and supplemented the troops of the 20th Corps.

In order to allow the troops in the Ninth War Zone to take this battle seriously after the battle started, Gao Jiu also played the emotional card, and gave a generous gift to the chiefs of the Ninth War Zone, promising that if they have For personal matters, you can ask yourself for help.

The chiefs of the Ninth War Zone attached great importance to Gao Jiu's promise.They know that Gao Jiu not only has strong personal abilities, but also has the strong strength of the Golden Triangle behind him.
