The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 352
Yudong County.

Chu Tianxiong, the head of the Nanchang Station of the Military Command, was entrusted by Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters, to fool Wu Tianming. He himself also wanted to establish a friend relationship with Gao Jiu through this matter.Therefore, he exaggerated Gao Jiu's military command ability and his profound background in the government.

Wu Tianming and the others were now even more worried that they would suffer unbearable consequences if they offended Gao Jiu.

Hearing that Gao Jiu would come to Yudong County at night, Wu Tianming and the others dared not go to sleep. They waited until 12 o'clock in the evening, when news of Gao Jiu finally came from the east gate of Yudong County.

The soldiers guarding the gate called and reported that there was a Mr. Gao who asked to see Master Wu.

Accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue drove to the gate of the county seat to meet Gao Jiu in person.

Gao Jiu waited at the gate of the county seat. Not long after, he saw two cars approaching, and they stopped in front of him quickly. A lieutenant general and two colonel officers got out of the cars.

Gao Jiu looked at them and identified their identities.

There is only one lieutenant general in the 62nd Division, and this lieutenant general is naturally Wu Tianming.The other two colonels were also easy to identify. The tall one was Chu Tianxiong, the station chief of the Nanchang Station of the Military Command, and the other was of course the chief of staff of the 62nd Division, Wang Wenxue.

Although Wu Tianming, Wang Xuexue and Chu Tianxiong knew that Gao Jiushi was young, they were still a little surprised when they saw him.Because Gao Jiu is really too young, only in his 20s, yet he has done so many great things and gained such a big name.

Gao Jiu walked towards Wu Tianming.

Gao Jiu's current status is the colonel and deputy director of the training headquarters, and he is wearing the military uniform of the National Army. In front of the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division, Gao Jiu also gave Wu Tianming face, so Gao Jiu stepped forward to follow the army's regulations. Etiquette, first salute to Wu Tianming, and said to himself: "Gao Jiu, Deputy Director of the Ninth War Zone's Training Command."

Before meeting Gao Jiu, Wu Tianming had been uneasy. Seeing Gao Jiu's humility and politeness, he immediately had a good impression of him.He also hurriedly returned the salute to Gao Jiu, also reported his family name, and said, "Wu Tianming, Commander of the 29nd Division of the 62th Army."

After speaking, he took the initiative to reach out his hand to shake hands with Gao Jiu in greeting.

In fact, Gao Jiu had never met Chu Tianxiong, but in the telegram, Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters had already described Chu Tianxiong's appearance. According to what had been discussed in advance, after he and Chu Tianxiong saluted each other, they shook hands. Holding Chu Tianxiong's hand, he said, "Brother Chu, I'm glad we met again."

Chu Tianxiong has been observing Gao Jiu since he saw him. The national army attaches great importance to superiority and etiquette. He saw the etiquette between Gao Jiu and Wu Tianming, and he also had a good impression of Gao Jiu.Seeing Gao Jiu greeting him, he immediately put on a friendly look and said, "Yeah, we haven't seen each other for a while, this time we brothers should have a good drink."

Then Gao Jiu greeted each other with Wang Wenxue, chief of staff of the 62nd Division.

Back at the headquarters of the 62nd Division, accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue hosted a banquet for Gao Jiu.

Wu Tianming was always worried that Gao Jiu was here to trouble him. After three glasses of wine, he winked at Wang Xuexue.

Wang Wenxue said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, the seizure of weapons and ammunition is purely a misunderstanding. If we knew that those supplies belonged to you, we would never do such a thing, and we would definitely send troops to help you escort them. "

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I won't mention this matter. Haven't you already helped me deliver the weapons and ammunition? Then thank you, Master Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

Seeing Gao Jiu's generosity, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue breathed a sigh of relief, and their attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

After everyone chatted for a while, Gao Jiu turned to the main topic.

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, Stationmaster Chu are brothers and my good friends. You are good friends of Stationmaster Chu. We can be said to be friends. Friends should take care of each other. Bar?"

Wu Tianming heard something in Gao Jiu's words, and it seemed that there was something wrong with him, which made Gao Jiu dissatisfied. He asked, "Mr. Gao, of course Station Master Chu and I are good friends. Brother, what did I do wrong?" The place, please give me pointers."

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Wu, don't misunderstand, there is no festival between us, what I want to talk about is related to you."

Wu Tianming asked curiously: "It has something to do with us? What exactly is it, please give advice from Mr. Gao."

Gao Jiu said: "I am now leading a supplementary regiment to stop the attack. There are liaison officers sent by the Fifth War Zone Commander's Department. They came from Xiaochenzhuang and saw some things. They seem to have some opinions on your 62nd Division. I I didn't quite believe it at the time, but people said that your 62nd Division abandoned its position when it saw the devils. At that time, an officer and a squad of soldiers were left behind to observe. It seems that really saw something."

Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.Although they are not afraid of the Ninth War Zone Chief's Department, if they seize a real reason and make a complaint to the Military Commission, it will be a big trouble.

Wang Xuexue said nervously: "Mr. Gao, this is not the case at all. We have already reported the specific situation to the Minister's Department. The liaison officer of the Minister's Department may have misunderstood it."

He was testing Gao Jiu's attitude, and wanted to find out how far this matter had gone.

Wu Tianming also looked at Gao Jiu, listening to what he had to say.

Gao Jiu said: "I don't quite believe this matter, so I suppressed this matter and didn't let them report to the commander's department. I personally came to the 62nd Division to understand the situation. After I understand it clearly, Then decide whether to report or not."

Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue are both smart people. They understood when they heard this. They must have seen the things about giving up Chenzhuang and Chenzhuang. Gao Jiu suppressed this matter and came here to say, It was to save face for them.

Of course, Gao Jiu will not just be a good person for no reason, he must have other requirements.

Before Gao Jiu came, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue had already discussed it. In order to appease Gao Jiu, they wanted to give Gao Jiu some benefits.They guessed that Gao Jiu might be short of weapons and ammunition, but when they saw such a large amount of weapons and ammunition, the only thing they could give Gao Jiu was money, so they made preparations in advance.

Wu Tianming said: "Mr. Gao is still a fair person, thank you Mr. Gao for trusting our 62nd Division." As he spoke, he gave Wang Xuexue a wink.

Wang Xuexue took out a leather bag and opened it for Gao Jiu to take a look. There were ten large yellow croakers inside. He said, "Our 62nd Division accidentally seized Mr. Gao's weapons, ammunition and supplies. We feel very sorry for this matter." Sorry, Master Wu and I apologize to you, please accept any kindness."

Wang Xuexue's excuse for giving gifts was to eliminate the misunderstanding caused by the seizure of weapons and ammunition. In fact, he wanted Gao Jiu to cover up the matter of giving up the big and small Chenzhuang for them.

In this era, when it comes to receiving gifts, unless you don’t want to deal with the gift giver in the future, or the gift giver is too poor, you still have to accept the gift from others, otherwise, people will think that you don’t accept him, and they will severely punish you. to offend him.

Gao Jiu is not a melon egg, he would not do such a stupid thing, he took the purse unceremoniously, and said: "Well, don't mention this matter again from now on."

Sure enough, seeing Gao Jiu accepting the gift, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue both heaved a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere at the wine table became even more heated.

Everyone toasted, and after drinking a few more cups, Gao Jiu said, "Brother, I am here this time, and I have one more thing to discuss with Master Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

Wu Tianming saw that Gao Jiu had accepted his gift, and his attitude became more and more friendly. He approached and said, "Brother Gao, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Gao Jiu said: "Brother, I'm in Peach Blossom Mountain. Even though I'm surrounded by ghosts and traitors, I live a very happy life. Our Peach Blossom Mountain is not as poor as most people imagine. There are beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It's a place for outings. ideas.

Our cottage has electric lights, telephones, hospitals, coffee shops, libraries, gyms, dance halls, and movie theaters. The supplies are sufficient, and life is very comfortable. "

In the minds of Wu Tianming, Wang Xuexue, Chu Tianxiong and others, the bandit's cottage is just a few dilapidated houses on the top of the hill.What Gao Jiu said about Taohuashan was completely beyond their understanding.

Wang Xuexue said: "It's really unexpected that Mr. Gao was able to build Peach Blossom Mountain in such a dangerous environment behind the enemy lines. It's admirable."

Gao Jiu said: "Brother, I lived well there. Why did you come to Wuhan to fight devils? I always feel that this person can't always make his own calculations. Apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, this person also has to eat, drink, and sleep. A little pursuit.

As a man, especially a soldier, to catch up with the era of war, he must do something vigorous, otherwise, he will regret it when he gets old.

The little Japanese came to China to burn, kill, and loot. As a Chinese soldier, it would be a shame if we could not fight and make contributions in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Brother, I am here today to discuss with the division commander and Chief of Staff Wang, let's fight a war together. "

Hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue felt reluctant. They looked at each other without saying a word.

Gao Jiu knew what they were thinking, and then said: "So you all know the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment of your 62nd Division. Those guys are a bunch of rookies, but can you imagine? They are near Xinfenghe Bridge, Destroyed an infantry battalion of the Japanese army and wiped out more than 500 devils. Just before I came, the rookies in the supplementary regiment repelled the attack of the entire reinforced regiment of the Japanese army and wiped out hundreds of devils, and I can be sure that Japanese reinforcements will never be able to pass through the area they are defending."

Hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.In their eyes, the supplementary group is cannon fodder, not worth mentioning at all.Facing the reinforcements of the Devil's Third Division, their 62nd Division basically gave up their position without firing a single shot, but the supplementary regiment, which they looked down on at all, was able to block the reinforcements of the Devil's Third Division at Nanfeng Mountain .Although they are selfish, they are also people who want face. This incident is like a severe slap in the face.

Both Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue's faces were ugly. They didn't know what to say, so they continued to stay silent.

Gao Jiu said: "Commander Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, do you think the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment is stronger, or is the combat effectiveness of your 62nd Division's experienced and proven troops?"

Of course Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue were not convinced. They thought their troops were more than twice as strong as the supplementary regiment, but they didn't know how to answer Gao Jiu's words.

Gao Jiu continued: "There is no doubt that the Japanese army is strong in combat, but they are not invincible. As long as you dare to fight the Japanese army and use proper tactics, you can defeat and eliminate them.

Wang Jindong's new 187th Division is a newly formed recruit unit, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as your 62nd Division.At that time, the Daqing River Bridge and the Han Ferry Ferry were both occupied by the Japanese army, and the 187th Division was in a situation of isolation and helplessness.But they dared to fight the Japanese army. After a bloody battle, they wiped out a whole brigade of the Japanese army and made outstanding contributions. Wang Jindong also became a famous anti-Japanese general in China.You must all be aware of this matter. "

The sudden rise of Wang Jindong really made the generals of the national army envious and jealous.Of course, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue also discussed this matter. They all felt that Wang Jindong was lucky. Otherwise, the newly formed troops of a division might not even be able to do justice to a regiment of devils.

Gao Jiu said: "Now the strategic position of the 62nd Division is very important, and the environment and conditions in all aspects are also better than those of the newly formed 187th Division. Why can't you fight a beautiful battle so that you can become famous generals in the Anti-Japanese War and be well received by the people?" What about the admiration of thousands of people?"

Both Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue want face. As anti-Japanese soldiers, who wouldn't want to become a famous anti-Japanese general?They were only worried that they would not be able to defeat the Japanese, so they feared the enemy and avoided war.Hearing Gao Jiu's words like this, the two of them also began to change their minds.

Chu Tianxiong had been paying attention to the expressions of Wu Tianming and Wang Xuexue, and saw that they were tempted, so he began to beat the side drum.

He said: "Mr. Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, I have also analyzed the famous and beautiful battle fought in Southwest Lu. He, Wang Jindong, was originally the commander of the 792 regiment. The reason why he was able to become the commander was mainly because With the help of Brother Gao. After becoming a division commander, the annihilation of the Japanese 128th Brigade in Southwest Shandong was also done with the help of Brother Gao.

Now, Mr. Gao is personally here to help you fight the war. I think you are all smart people, so you should not miss such a good opportunity. "

Wu Tianming's eyeballs kept rolling, pondering vigorously in his heart, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.

With such a great reputation, Gao Jiu would never be a person with a low IQ. Today, when he came to the 62nd Division, he must have come prepared.Now, the 62nd Division has the handle in Gao Jiu's hands. If Gao Jiu's request is not agreed to, if he turns his back on him, Wu Tianming may be unable to bear it and walk away.

Instead of this, it's better to agree to Gao Jiu and make friends with him. With Gao Jiu's background, he can help in many things.

He is not too worried about the risk of fighting the Japanese army now. He can imagine a rookie supplementary regiment that can fight such a beautiful battle under the command of Gao Jiu. What to worry about?

Wu Tianming basically made up his mind, so he looked at Wang Xuexue and asked for his opinion.Wang Xuexue's thoughts were similar to Wu Tianming's. Seeing Wu Tianming looking over, he nodded slightly.

Wu Tianming said: "Brother Gao, since you are talking about this, brother, I am also an anti-Japanese soldier, and it is my duty to defend my family and the country. Tell me, how should we fight this battle? We will listen to you, brother."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "I knew that Master Wu and Chief of Staff Wang are both bloody Chinese soldiers, and they will fight bravely and kill the enemy bravely. In the next battle, brother, I will also invite Station Master Chu and Master Wu I came to fight with you, Chief of Staff Wang."

Chu Tianxiong was even happier when he heard this.He knew that if this battle is won, it must be a great achievement, and he, Chu Tianxiong, has a part in it. Now he can show his face like the military commander Jinan Station.He thought to himself: "No wonder people are willing to deal with Brother Gao. He is a man of righteousness and never monopolizes benefits."

He immediately stated: "Master Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, our military commander Nanchang Station will definitely cooperate with your 62nd Division and fight a beautiful battle with Brother Gao."
