The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 244 The greasy middle-aged uncle

Ouyang Xue's words represented the aspirations of everyone in the observation group and the reporter group. Regarding this mysterious Gao Jiu, she had always been in a hurry, and everyone wanted to know his specific situation.

Especially for Gao Jiu's age and appearance, everyone has secretly guessed in their hearts, and sketched a picture in their hearts according to their own imaginations. Everyone really wants to know what he looks like, and see if it matches their own imaginations. .

Ouyang Xue behaved generously, dignified and elegant.She speaks Mandarin with a Zhejiang accent. She speaks clearly and her voice is clear and crisp. The questions are immediately asked about the things that everyone cares about most.

Wang Zhankui had a very headache. For Wang Zhankui, attending a press conference was definitely the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair.For this press conference, he had put in a lot of effort, and Chief of Staff Liu had trained him in advance.That's why Wang Zhankui spoke politely, which made him uncomfortable.

But the questions asked by these reporters seemed simple, but it was difficult for him to answer them.Only then did he realize that dealing with these reporters seemed to be more troublesome than dealing with devils.

Wang Zhankui was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer this question.Gao Jiu never showed up in public. When attacking the POW camp, he came to the 792 regiment, and he also wore simple makeup. At least he had a mustache and his eyebrows were a little thicker.Gao Jiu went to Wuhan and changed his name to Mr. Xiao.These are naturally related to his need to go deep behind enemy lines and pretend to be Japanese and puppet troops.

Wang Zhankui didn't know what to say, so he looked at Wang Jindong again.

Wang Jindong shook his head slightly, and Wang Zhankui understood what he meant.

He said: "Brother Gao Jiu is called Lord Jiu, and they are a little older than me. They have thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose and mouth, and beards. They are two feet tall, with a strong back and waist, and look like a hero."

These are the lines he heard from the opera, which basically used the same set of words when describing the ancient mighty generals.

After listening to Wang Zhankui's description, everyone began to discuss in low voices.

The officers of the observation group were quite satisfied with Wang Zhankui's words, because this was more in line with their image.Gao Jiuye is so powerful, so he should be a weather-beaten and experienced warrior around 35 to 40 years old.Calling him Jiu Ye is more appropriate in terms of age and image.

The female reporters felt a little disappointed when they heard this. In their minds, Gao Jiu should be a handsome and suave young man.

When they first heard about Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas, it aroused their rich associations.

Just the place name Taohuashan is so poetic and picturesque.In their minds, it should be as described in martial arts novels, Gao Jiu walks through the peach forest, handsome and elegant in Tsing Yi and long robes.Holding the Qingfeng sword in hand, he soars in the air, his clothes fluttering, rolling up pieces of peach blossoms.Wow, what a beautiful picture, what a beautiful mood.

Wang Zhankui's words shattered their beautiful imagination.Everyone thought that under the blossoming peach blossom tree, there stood a man wearing a top hat, a long robe and a mandarin jacket, with a red face that was exposed to the wind and sun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a knot around his waist. He was a middle-aged greasy man with a black belt, two pistols stuck in it, and a nine-ringed broadsword with red silk wrapped around the handle on his back.

It makes people feel so uncoordinated and uncomfortable.

However, they can also accept it.After all, this was the time of war, and a famous general who shocked the world and made the Japanese invaders fearful seemed to have such an image.

As a result, Gao Jiu became a greasy middle-aged uncle about 40 years old in people's minds.

Ouyang Xue smiled slightly, and sat down without continuing to ask questions.

Ouyang Xue didn't believe a word of what Wang Zhankui said, because she found the eye contact between Wang Zhankui and Wang Jindong, and she felt that there was something wrong.Moreover, when she saw Wang Zhankui's words, the guard standing at the door couldn't stop laughing, which meant that the guard had seen the real Gao Jiu, and the image of Gao Jiu that Wang Zhankui said was definitely the same as himself. It was a far cry, which made the guard amused.

Ouyang Xue had already made up her mind, this time she was going to Peach Blossom Mountain in person, and everything would come to light naturally, so there was no need to ask further questions.

After the press conference, Ouyang Xue and a female reporter named Zhao Jie returned to their temporary dormitory.

Since the two of them met in Nanyang, they have hit each other very well, and they always asked to be assigned to live in the same room along the way. The two of them are now very familiar with each other, and they basically talk about everything.

Zhao Jie has a steamed bun face, and she looks very delicate and pleasing. She is younger, and she will only be 20 years old in two months. Now she is just a trainee reporter. I don't know how she joined the press corps.

Zhao Jie said with some regret: "Mr. Gao Jiu from Peach Blossom Mountain looks like that. This image is mighty, but..."

Having said that, she shook her head slightly and sighed softly.

Ouyang Xue chuckled, and said, "You are such a silly girl! Captain Wang is telling lies, you can't even tell?"

Zhao Jie asked puzzledly: "Tuan Zhang has fought side by side with Mr. Gao Jiu many times. They should be very familiar with each other. How could they tell lies? Isn't the Mr. Gao Jiu he said like this? ?”

Ouyang Xue said with a smile: "Of course not. Didn't you hear the introduction from Commander Wang? He said that the Taohuashan guerrillas were behind enemy lines, and their specific situation cannot be described in detail. Not only the number of their troops, Questions about weapons and equipment, including their age and appearance, must also be kept secret.”

Zhao Jie's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh, sister Xiaoxue, I remembered when you said that. It must be true. This Mr. Gao Jiu must not be what Captain Wang said."

Ouyang Xue smiled and said, "What do you think he should look like?"

Zhao Jie said fascinatedly: "He must be young, handsome, tall, and handsome. By the way, Miss Xiaoxue, I remember it was reported in the newspaper that he was married to a female general in red. If the relationship is between a couple, then he must be a young man. Sister Xiaoxue, do you think so?"

Ouyang Xue shook her head slightly and said: "The person who wrote this report has never met Mr. Gao Jiu. His words are the same as those of Captain Wang. They are all fabricated."

"Oh, that's right." Zhao Jie also shook her head slightly.

She is in her prime and poetic age, and her mood is very contradictory.She hoped that Gao Jiu would be a Pianpianjia son, but she felt that he already had a confidante like the female general in red, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.However, she would rather feel this way than Gao Jiu to be a middle-aged greasy uncle.

After sighing, Zhao Jie suddenly had a thought in his heart.She said: "Sister Xiaoxue, this place should not be far from Peach Blossom Mountain. I want to go to Peach Blossom Mountain to see for myself."

Ouyang Xue smiled slightly, but said nothing.She had already made up her mind about going to Peach Blossom Mountain, and the underground party had already made arrangements for this matter.However, this is her own secret, and she will not tell anyone.

Jinan, Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters Special High School.

That evening, Sakai Toichiro was about to get off work, and one foot had already stepped out of the door.Just then, the phone on the desk rang.He is a hardworking man, he walked back immediately, grabbed the phone, and said, "Hello?"

No one spoke on the phone, but a panting sound could be heard, indicating that there was still someone on the other side.He asked, "Which one?"

The other party still did not speak.

Sakai Toichiro-kun was really angry, he said impatiently: "If you don't talk anymore, I'll hang up the phone."

The other party finally spoke. Hearing his words, Sakai Toichiro immediately became furious.He cursed angrily: "Eight deer. Hamada Yoshito, you damn guy! Why aren't you dead yet?!

It's all because of you, more than 500 brave warriors of the Yellow Army of Great Japan, just like that, all of them are broken, do you still have the face to live in this world?
You bloody coward, why did you run away?You have lost all the face of Huang Jun in Japan and our special high school.

Why don't you apologize by caesarean section?Bageya Road, Bageya Road. "

Yoshihiro Hamada patiently listened to Toichiro Sakai's rant, and then said in a sad tone: "Your Excellency, you taught me the right lesson. It is my incompetence that caused such a heavy loss in Japan, and I blame it." Escape, ten thousand death Mo redemption.

At that time, on the battlefield, I fought bravely and only wanted to die on the battlefield like other yellow army warriors.Later, I was stunned by a shell, and when I woke up, the battle was over.

Looking at the corpses of the brave Huang Army warriors on the battlefield, I was so sad that I was about to commit suicide by caesarean section. I apologized to His Majesty Tianhuang and all the soldiers of the Huang Army who were broken.

However, someone will always report to you about the situation on the battlefield, right?That's why I endured humiliation and survived. "

Hearing what Hamada Yoshito said was very sincere, Sakai Toichiro became slightly less angry.But his anger still persisted, and he cursed angrily: "You bloody coward! Why did you run away from the gendarmerie?"

Yoshito Hamada said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, I know that I have committed a serious crime, and I should go to a military court after I go back, even if I apologize by cutting open my stomach.

However, I can't just die like this, if I die like this, I will be sorry for His Majesty Tianhuang!I'm sorry for those brave warriors of the Yellow Army of Japan, and I'm even more sorry for the cultivation you have given me, section chief.

Your Excellency, the head of the class, your kindness to me is as great as a mountain. Even if I die now, because of me, it will embarrass our super high class.Thinking of this, Beizhi decided to endure humiliation for the time being, and must try to make meritorious service to redeem our sins and save face for our super high class.At that time, the humble official will definitely apologize. "

In fact, Sakai Toichiro has always had a good impression of Hamada Yoshiro, otherwise he would not have stayed in the special high school.Hearing that Hamada Yoshito was still thinking about the special high school at this time, his heart softened.Besides, he thinks what Hamada Yoshito said makes sense.If Yoshiichi Hamada died like this, he would really be a scapegoat. After all, he was a person in a special high school, and he was the one who was single-handedly promoted by Toichiro Sakai. He had to undertake the high class, and he couldn't accept such a result.

In fact, what made him angry was that he thought Hamada Yoshito should not have escaped, so that his guilt was confirmed, and it was tantamount to pinning the blame on the super high class.

If Yoshito Hamada can really make meritorious deeds and atone for his sins, this result is of course better than Yoshito Hamada's apology by caesarean section.He asked: "You want to make meritorious deeds like atonement, how to make meritorious atonements?"

Yoshito Hamada was overjoyed when he heard Toichiro Sakai change his tone.But he couldn't show such emotion.He still said with a heavy tone: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, Beizhi left the Pingyue County Gendarmerie at that time, and did not know that the Gendarmerie Command would let him go back. If he had known, he would have waited obediently in the Gendarmerie. At that time Beizhi was in a hurry to leave because he suddenly discovered a big secret. Beizhi discovered that the loss of the 115th Regiment of the Yellow Army in Japan had a common cause with the loss of the 18th Cavalry Battalion last time. In order to investigate this reason, That's why I ventured into the enemy's rear to investigate."

Hearing this, Sakai Toichiro felt that what Hamada Yoshito said was reasonable.He very much hoped that Hamada Yoshiichi could find out some important secret, so that he could really make meritorious service and atone for his sins, so that the super high school could also give an explanation to the above.

"What big secret?" he asked.

Yoshito Hamada said: "Your Excellency, Section Chief, I have arrived near Jinan City and hope to report to you alone."

Hamada Yoshiro was already in Jinan City at this time. He said this to test Toichiro Sakai's tone. He didn't want to go back to the Gendarmerie Headquarters yet, because he might be arrested if he did so.

Sakai Toichiro understood what Hamada Yoshito was thinking, and he said, "Don't worry, you tell me a time and place, and I will rush there alone."

What secret did Yoshito Hamada discover?

After Hamada Yoshito left Pingyue County that day, on the way, he carefully recalled the experience of dealing with Gao Jiu and others.He found that until today, he still knew too little about Gao Jiu and the others.

Based on what he had learned, he knew that Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas currently only had more than 150 people, and there were men, women and children.In other words, the troops used for combat should not exceed 18 people.The 115th Battalion of the Japanese Cavalry has hundreds of people, and this time the 100th Wing has more than [-] people.It is impossible to annihilate so many Huang troops just by relying on Gao Jiu's team of more than [-] people.

Moreover, this time he clearly saw the troops wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and the troops wearing the uniforms of the National Army.This shows that in Gao Jiu's previous battles, there were people helping him.

This time when he arrived at the Gendarmerie of Pingyue County, he specifically inquired about it, and learned that there was a gcd unit called the Independent Battalion in Pingyue County.The national army unit that appeared that day should be the unit of the 792nd Regiment of Wang Jindong in Zhiyuan County.

Now he understands that Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas are located in a mountainous area with complicated terrain. Completely wiped out.To do this, he must first cut off his foreign aid.

He doesn't know anything about that gcd's independent battalion.He didn't dare to take the risk of investigating.Although he can speak fluent Chinese, there are special local dialects here in Shandong, and it is difficult to go deep into those rural areas for investigation.

The most obvious target was Wang Jindong's 792 regiment in Zhiyuan County.Therefore, he decided to start by investigating the 792 regiment to see if he could find any breakthrough.

After thinking about this, when the motorcycle drove to the Jizheng Highway, he did not turn to the direction of Jinan, but drove along the Jizheng Highway towards Lu County.After arriving in Lu County, it was discovered that Lu County had been breached by Wang Jindong's 792 regiment.This further proves that Gao Jiu, Wang Jindong and others are fighting together.

After Wang Jindong's troops withdrew from Lu County, he left the two Japanese soldiers sent by Pingyue County in Lu County.He changed into plain clothes and drove a motorcycle to the outside of Zhiyuan County.He found a place to hide his motorcycle and sneaked into Zhiyuan County.

In Zhiyuan County, Hamada Yoshito heard a lot of things he wanted to know.

One is the case of high nine.Not long ago, Gao Jiu came to Zhiyuan County, used to compete in martial arts here, and helped the national army in Zhiyuan County to win many battles, so he has a very good reputation here.The people talked about it with gusto, Yoshihiro Hamada had a general understanding of his age and appearance, and knew that Gao Jiu had a close relationship with Wang Jindong and the others, and that the recent series of battles with the Huang Army were all shared by them. ongoing.

He found out that the 792 regiment had been reorganized into the new 187th division, and Wuhan had sent an observation group and a reporter group to Zhiyuan County.

Having mastered this information, Yoshito Hamada was overjoyed, and he thought it was enough to explain to Toichiro Sakai.And he is sure to persuade General Matsuda to avoid holding himself accountable.So, he returned to Jinan City and wanted to call Toichiro Sakai.

General Matsuda, the commander of the Jinan Gendarmerie Command, is a standard soldier with a strong sense of responsibility.In order to protect Ayumi Hamasaki last time, he used his body to cover Ayumi Hamasaki.

In life, he also has a strict spirit of self-discipline.Every time he came home from get off work, in order to avoid too much work from the servants, he would arrange his leather shoes himself.Except that he was a hateful Japanese invader, as an army general, he was unanimously respected by Japanese officers and soldiers.

This time he used Yoshiichi Hamada as a scapegoat, not out of his own heart.He just felt that as a joint participant in this combat operation, the Japanese Field Army suffered such serious losses, and their Gendarmerie Command should bear certain responsibilities.

The battle plan was formulated based on the opinions of Yoshito Hamada, and he was a direct participant in this operation, so he could only sacrifice Yoshito Hamada to give an explanation to the 114th Division of the Japanese Army.

Even so, Matsuda did not shirk his responsibility. He wrote a letter of self-criticism and handed it to General Haneda, Chief of Staff of the 12th Army. He took the initiative to take responsibility and made a profound self-criticism.

The top and bottom of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army respected him very much. Lieutenant General Suematsu Moji, the commander of the 114th Division, and Major General Oboff, the commander of the 128th Brigade, did not criticize him harshly.

General Matsuda felt deeply guilty about the heavy losses suffered by the 115th Wing, and he also hoped that remedial measures could be taken.

After Sakai Toichiro met Hamada Yoshito, he found General Matsuda and reported the information Hamada Yoshito had.General Matsuda believed that the information was very important. He decided not to pursue Hamada Yoshito, and personally came forward to report to Lieutenant General Suematsu Moji, the commander of the 114th Division, and Major General Oboffo, the commander of the 128th Brigade. plead.Afterwards, he took Hamada Yoshito to see General Haneda, chief of staff of the 12th Army.

As one of the top officers of the Japanese army in Shandong, General Haneda has paid close attention to the recent series of heavy losses of the Huang army, and Gao Jiu's name has been etched into his mind.After hearing the reports from General Matsuda and Yoshito Hamada, he called Lieutenant General Suematsu Moji, commander of the 114th Division, and Major General Oboff, commander of the 128th Brigade, and held a combat meeting.

After the meeting started, Chief of Staff Haneda first asked Yoshito Hamada to report on the situation.

Yoshito Hamada reported the information he had and his analysis of the information.

Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas, Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion, and Wang Jindong's 792 regiment have formed a joint combat system.Information exchange in peacetime, joint operations in wartime.

In the recent period, all the losses suffered by the Huang army in the southwestern area of ​​Shandong were caused by the joint operations of these three companies.The Huang Army must give it a serious blow as soon as possible, and it cannot be allowed to grow bigger.

He believed that it would be very difficult to wipe out these three anti-Japanese armed forces at the same time, and he suggested that they should be defeated individually.

When choosing a breakthrough in the battle, he believes that Wang Jindong's 792 regiment should be chosen first.

The main reasons are:

First, the Gaojiu Taohuashan guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion are scattered in the mountains and among the people, and it is very difficult to find their traces.Even if they can be found, it is difficult to wipe them out completely!
792. Even if the two anti-Japanese armed forces were destroyed, they would only destroy the two weaker parts of the three forces. As long as Wang Jindong's [-] still exists, they can continue to support guerrillas and independent battalions similar to Taohuashan Such anti-Japanese armed forces revived them.

Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion had sufficient weapons and ammunition, which should have been supplemented by Wang Jindong's 792 regiment.

Therefore, in order to completely eliminate Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion, Wang Jindong's 762 regiment should be destroyed first, and his support for Gao Jiu's Taohuayuan guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion should be cut off.

792. Wang Jindong's 187 regiment has now expanded into the new [-]th division of the national army. Although the establishment has increased, it is their weakest time.

The newly formed 187th Division was expanded into three regiments, and the original main force of the 792nd Regiment was dispersed. Most of the new troops were recruits, lacking training and mutual integration.At this time, these three regiments are not as effective as the 792 regiment.

Of course, if they are given time to train and adjust, the new 187th Division in the future will become a strong enemy of the Huang Army, and they must be wiped out before their feathers are fully developed!

Fourth, the national army is best at fighting positional warfare and regular warfare. They occupy Zhiyuan County and Lanxi County. The targets are obvious, and it is more convenient for the Huang Army to directly attack them.

Fifth, there is a rare opportunity at present. Wuhan has sent a group of observers and reporters. If these people can be captured, it will have a huge political impact, and it will be of great significance to the upcoming war in Wuhan.

Yoshito Hamada had more detailed information, and his suggestions were more pertinent, which won the praise of the generals.After discussion, they decided to accept Hamada Yoshito's proposal.The 128th Brigade was appointed to carry out the combat mission of attacking Wang Jindong's new 187th Division, and Yoshito Hamada assisted in formulating the combat plan.

In this way, Hamada Yoshito not only was not punished, but was reused.Of course, this is not only due to luck, but also inseparable from Hamada Yoshito's own talent and wisdom.

An unprecedented war in southwestern Shandong is about to break out.
