The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 418

Gao Jiu said, "Let me look at the map first."

Everyone followed Gao Jiu to the huge battle map of the Ninth War Zone hanging on the wall, and stood there quietly, waiting for Gao Jiu to speak.

Gao Jiu searched the progress of the Battle of Wuhan in his mind, and carefully observed the relevant place names on the map for a while, then picked up the baton, pointed to a place in the northern section of the Dabie Mountains and said: "Everyone Please look here."

Following Gao Jiu's baton, everyone saw that inconspicuous place: Xiaojieling.

The Xiaojieling line of defense was the last solid line of defense at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains to stop the Japanese army. If it was breached, the Japanese army would cross the Dabie Mountains and advance along the road without hindrance.The process of the battle of Wuhan in history was precisely because of the loss of the defense line of Xiaojieling, which eventually led to the loss of Wuhan.

The chiefs of the Ninth War Zone are very familiar with the terrain in their jurisdiction, and they also believe that Gao Jiu's judgment is correct. Seeing that what Gao Jiu said is the same as what they imagined, everyone is relieved, because in this area they The 30th Army, the 42nd Army and the 70th Army have already set up heavy defenses.

Deputy Zhang said with relief: "As expected, the focus of the Japanese attack is the Xiaojieling defense line."

The Chief of Operations said: "Fortunately, we have already deployed in advance, and now we feel at ease."

Others also talked a lot, and the atmosphere in the war room became very relaxed.

Gao Jiu knew that everyone's optimism was a little early.He asked: "Who are the Japanese troops in the north of Wanjialing?"

The Chief of Operations said, "It's the Imamura Detachment and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army."

Gao Jiu said, "Where is the 13th Division of the Japanese Army?"

The Chief of Operations said: "According to intelligence, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army should be in the Anzhai area now."

Gao Jiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this information may not be accurate. If my prediction is correct, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army is now following the 16th Division, and they will soon attack Yejiaji and the mall. .”

Yejiaji and Shangcheng are the last two battle fulcrums in front of the Xiaojieling defense line.

"This is impossible." Deputy Chief of Staff Li, who is in charge of intelligence management, immediately said: "Anzhai is 800 kilometers away from the defense line of Xiaojieling. They were still there last week. It is impossible for them to appear in the mall."

Although Deputy Chief of Staff Li said this, Deputy Chief Zhang immediately became nervous, because he believed in Gao Jiu, and previous facts had proved that what Gao Jiu said was correct.

He immediately said to Deputy Chief of Staff Li: "You immediately ask the Intelligence Department to investigate this matter."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li saw that Deputy Chief Zhang did not believe him. In front of so many officers in the Ninth War Zone and so many combat staff officers in the war room, especially with Deputy Director Wang from the attendant office of the Military Commission here, he felt that He was slapped in the face, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Commander Zhang, there is no need for this at all. The intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Department have special personnel responsible for monitoring the troops above the level of the Japanese Army Brigade. The 13th Division has such a large scale. Troop mobilization cannot escape their eyes."

Deputy Zhang was a little impatient, and he said: "If you are told to go, go quickly, what is the point?"

The deputy chief of staff of the war zone is at least a general at the level of the corps, a dignified lieutenant general of the national army, who was reprimanded by Deputy Commander Zhang, which made him a little bit unable to step down. He said unconvinced: "Vice Commander Zhang, I am in charge. The intelligence department in Beijing worked hard and never dared to slack off in the slightest. There were special personnel responsible for monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, so it was impossible for such a big omission to occur.

During this period, Mr. Gao has been in Taohuashan. He has just arrived in Wuhan. His intelligence is probably just speculation. We can’t decide the adjustment of our army’s campaign deployment based on such guesswork? "

Although the Chief of Staff also believed in Gao Jiu, but he got along with Deputy Chief of Staff Li day and night, and he also believed that what Li Deputy Chief of Staff said was reasonable.However, Deputy Commander Zhang is an officer after all, so it's not easy for him to contradict his immediate boss.

He smoothed things over and said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Li, since Mr. Gao Jiugao has such a conjecture, you can send someone to check it out. Even if Mr. Gao's conjecture is inaccurate, it can relieve everyone's doubts. In case it is true , we can also be prepared.”

Deputy Chief of Staff Li saw that the chief of staff gave him a step down, so he stepped down and said, "Okay then. I'll let the intelligence investigate again. However, I still believe the relevant information from the Intelligence Department. "

He walked out while talking, and before he reached the door of the war room, he heard a lieutenant colonel staff officer from the combat department say loudly: "What did you say? Say it again."

He was answering the phone, speaking loudly and nervously, as if he had heard some urgent news.

Everyone looked at him, wondering what was going on, and even Deputy Chief of Staff Li stopped in his tracks.

Soon the combat staff officer put down the phone. Seeing that the officers were all looking at him, he walked over quickly and said loudly to Deputy Commander Zhang: "Report to Commander Si, the report from the 30th Army, the 13th Army of the Japanese Army The division has appeared in the mall, and the striker has already exchanged fire with the 30th Army."

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, feeling the seriousness of the situation.

Deputy Chief of Staff Li didn't believe it. He picked up the phone and called the 30th Army to ask about the situation in person.After putting down the phone, he said in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, this is my dereliction of duty."

Then, he said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, thank you for the information you provided. I apologize to you for what I just said."

Gao Jiu smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing. The Japanese army is good at deception. I was deceived once by the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army when I was in Southwest Shandong."

Gao Jiu's emotional intelligence was extremely high, and his self-deprecating words resolved everyone's embarrassment very well. Even Deputy Chief of Staff Li's favor towards Gao Jiu instantly improved a lot.

Next, Deputy Zhang Siling and others asked Gao Jiu some questions, and Gao Jiu also gave some suggestions about the battle based on the situation he knew.As for how to adjust the combat deployment, since it was a matter of the Ninth War Zone, he didn't want to get involved, so he quickly bid farewell.

Deputy Zhang Siling and others originally wanted to invite Gao Jiu to a banquet, but they knew that Gao Jiu was very busy now, so they didn't want to keep him.Everyone sent him to the gate of the command department.When Gao Jiu was about to get in the car, Deputy Chief of Staff Li stepped forward and said: "Mr. Gao, brother, I am very sorry about today's incident. I hope that when you are free, I will come to make amends for you. Please return to me when the time comes." You must come."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are too polite. After finishing the work in front of me, I will invite you to a banquet."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li became even happier when he saw Gao Jiu showing face so much, he opened the door for Gao Jiu himself, and sent Gao Jiu into the car.

Everyone watched Gao Jiu leave before turning around and walking into the office building.

The chief of staff said with emotion: "This Mr. Gao is admirable both in terms of talent and style of conduct. He is young and really does not know how to cultivate such talent and self-cultivation. He is really a formidable young man!"

Deputy Commander Zhang didn't speak, he was deeply moved.He used to have a lot of opinions on Gao Jiu because of his son's affairs, but now he admires Gao Jiu very much. Naturally, he is also impressed by Gao Jiu's talent and character.

He thought it would be a gratifying thing if his son Zhang Keming could catch up to half of Gao Jiu.It's a pity that this matter is probably hopeless, and he couldn't help but sighed slightly.

Not long after Gao Jiu and the others left the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone, they saw a car with the license plate of the Fifth War Zone parked on the side of the road in front of the car. Standing in front of the car was a charming female soldier, it was Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu parked the car in front of her, and was about to speak when he saw Director Feng of the Military Intelligence Department coming down from the car behind Lin Yanni.

It turned out that there were many things in the Fifth War Zone that Gao Jiu was eager to ask for advice. Director Feng was worried that Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu, a young couple, would inevitably be intimate for a while when they met. Under the urging of the officers, he couldn't wait, so So I came with Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu smiled wryly and shook his head. He said to Director Feng, "Director Feng, no matter how busy you are, you still have to let me eat, right?"

Gao Jiu had been on the plane for such a long time, and was delayed for such a long time in the Ninth War Zone just now, he was really hungry.

When Lin Yanni heard Gao Jiu say this, she felt distressed for a while, and she really wanted to go to enjoy a big meal with Gao Jiu immediately, but she was a soldier after all, and Director Feng was here again, so she had no choice but to say: "Jiu Brother, hold on a little longer, and when the work is done, I will accompany you to enjoy the delicious food."

Lin Yanni seized the time and wanted to cling to Gao Jiu for a while, so she got into Gao Jiu's car and sat beside Gao Jiu.

On the way to the Fifth War Zone, Lin Yanni really wanted to say something intimate to Gao Jiu, but it was a pity that Jia Liu was driving in front, and Li Xiaoshan was sitting in the co-pilot. Jiu's arm, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Gao Jiu affectionately, and kept discharging electricity.

At the Fifth Theater Command, Gao Jiu stayed for more than an hour, finally satisfied the wishes of the chief of staff and others, and then left.

Lin Yanni had already driven her car to the theater headquarters, Jia Liu and Li Xiaoshan drove back to the hotel, Lin Yanni was finally able to be alone with Gao Jiu.

As the saying goes, a small farewell is better than a newlywed. The two had confirmed their relationship before they left Wuhan. After parting for a while, it was naturally a firewood. The two couldn't wait. On a relatively remote corner of the street, they stopped the car and made out with each other happily.

After a long time, the contented Lin Yanni tidied up her messy hair and said to Gao Jiu, "Brother Jiu, what do you want to eat?"

Gao Jiu became even hungrier after all this trouble, and he said, "You are the landlord, you can arrange it."

The two continued to drive forward, and Gao Jiu asked, "Is it your idea that Uncle Lin asked me to come to Wuhan?"

Lin Yanni said: "Yes, and no. Director Feng asked me to send you a telegram, urging you to come to Wuhan. My father said that he has something very important to ask for your help, so I sent you a telegram."

Gao Jiu asked, "What's the matter with Uncle Lin looking for me?"

Lin Yanni shook her head and said: "He refused to tell me. However, he said it was a very important thing. I asked if it was a good thing or a bad thing? My father said it must be a good thing, and this thing is difficult. It's big, but if it's done, he will definitely not treat you badly."

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "I said, my father-in-law will definitely think of me when something good happens, otherwise how could he be my father-in-law?"

Lin Yanni blushed, she gave Gao Jiu a white look, and she said, "You are not ashamed, who is your father-in-law?"

Gao Jiu laughed and said, "It turns out that Uncle Lin is not my father-in-law, so I have no choice but to invite someone else to be my father-in-law."

Lin Yanni looked at Gao Jiu, stretched out her hand to twist his arm lightly, and said softly, "How dare you!"

At this moment, Lin Yanni's winking eyes were like silk, and her blushing face was like a blooming peach blossom. Gao Jiu couldn't help being impulsive again. He stretched out his hand to wrap her head around her, and kissed her hard on her cherry lips.

At this moment, Gao Jiu was driving the car. With this action, the car twisted on the road. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, otherwise something would happen.

"Be careful!" Lin Yanni screamed.

Gao Jiu slammed the steering wheel to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

Gao Jiu had never been so impulsive before, but after meeting Lin Yanni in Wuhan this time, she seemed to be a little bit out of control.In fact, this is no wonder, after all, Gao Jiu is only a young man in his 20s. Since time travel to this era, he has been in a state of high tension, and it is normal to relax properly.

"People who are not flirtatious are in vain." Gao Jiu comforted himself with self-deprecation.

Gao Jiu planned to do nothing today, just enjoy the two-person world with Lin Yanni, so they had dinner and watched a movie, and then Gao Jiu sent Lin Yanni back home.

Gao Jiu returned to the hotel, washed his face and was about to go to bed, when the phone in the room rang, it was Lin Yanni calling.She said that after returning home, her mother Huang Peishan told her that the wife of Wang Xilin, who was in command of the military, had come and brought many gifts, and the military committee's attendant also called, hoping that Gao Jiu would find time to go to the dark room.

Gao Jiu felt that the military command was sensible, and they really wanted to invite Gao Jiu to handle errands, but Gao Jiu felt comfortable with his actions.These intellectuals in the dark room were not tactful enough, and they asked the Military Commission to come forward to suppress Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu was not very happy.

He decided to take the time to meet the military commander first. As for the affairs of the dark room, he really didn't bother to take care of them. Those things were too troublesome and time-consuming. He had a lot of things to do when he came to Wuhan, so he didn't have time to waste time there.

Lin Yanni also explained that his parents invited Gao Jiu to their house at noon the next day.The father-in-law's affairs are the most important, and he immediately agreed. He also wanted to see what kind of gift Lin Wenhan would prepare for himself.
