The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 458 Another Great Gift

After the meeting began, Gao Hong first introduced the enemy situation that the underground party had grasped, and Gao Jiu also introduced the mobilization of the Japanese and puppet troops collected by the Jinan military command.

Enemy is serious.

General Haneda, the chief of staff of the 12th Army, personally commanded the Japanese army’s sweep this time. The mobilized troops included the 114th Division, the 8th Division, and one part each of the Independent Mixed Ninth Brigade. The total strength of the Japanese army was 3. There are more than 4 troops in the 34000rd Division and [-]th Division of the Public Security Army, with a total strength of more than [-].

After the introduction, Chen Yuehan conveyed the spirit of the underground party Shandong Working Committee's instructions on anti-mopping up in Southwest Shandong.

The spirit of the instructions said that this raid on southwestern Shandong was part of the Japanese army's campaign to strengthen public security in the Shandong area.Prior to this, the Japanese army had carried out a large-scale raid on the north, northeast, northwest, Jiaodong, and central Shandong areas of Shandong, and the Eighth Route Army and the underground party suffered serious losses.

The main point of the Japanese army’s campaign to strengthen public security was to force the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and the Shandong Work Committee to retreat to the edge of the mountainous areas, and the political organization to go underground.

This trick is extremely vicious, because the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army and the underground party working committee depend on the common people to support them, and the soldiers also need to be mobilized among the common people.The Japanese and puppet sides have strengthened their control over the grassroots, which is equivalent to cutting off the supplies of the Eighth Route Army and the Shandong Working Committee. The base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is shrinking day by day, and its development will be greatly restricted.

Under the leadership of the military sub-region, Southwest Shandong today has extensively launched mass mobilization campaigns and established a vast grassroots political power.The purpose of the Japanese army's suppression of the border was to destroy the construction bases in Southwest Shandong, establish Japanese and puppet grassroots organizations at all levels, consolidate the rule of the Japanese and puppet sides, and reduce the space for the development of the Eighth Route Army.

The Eighth Route Army often said: The army and the people are fish and water, the Eighth Route Army is the fish, and the vast majority of the people are the water.The Japanese army's method was to drain the water, and it would be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to survive.

The Shandong Working Committee of the underground party issued the following instructions based on the experience of anti-mopping up in various parts of Shandong.

First, the southwestern region of Shandong must be vigilant to ensure the safety of the main force, that is, the independent regiment and the main county brigade.

Second, mobilize competent personnel to organize a capable team to destroy the grassroots regime established by the Japanese and puppets.

Third, considering the particularity of the Southwest region, the Southwest Military Division should strengthen cooperation with the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the specific anti-sweeping plan will be discussed and completed by both parties.

After conveying the instructions from his superiors, Chen Yuehan said: "Mr. Gao, this time we are anti-mopping up in Southwest Shandong. We must strengthen cooperation to smash the enemy's conspiracy together. What's your opinion on this?"

Gao Jiu said: "Cooperation is a must. We are all an anti-Japanese and devil-fighting team. We are a family. There is no need to worry about it. Our Taohuashan guerrillas will definitely cooperate with the military division's anti-sweeping operations."

The reason why John Chen asked Gao Jiu to speak first was because the Southwest Military Division had just been established and they had no experience in large-scale raids by the Japanese army.Facing such a powerful enemy, does the Southwest Military Division have the strength to fight against it.

He and Gao Hong had already discussed that Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas should be the main force in the anti-mopping up in southwestern Shandong this time, and they should cooperate.Hearing Gao Jiu say that the Taohuashan guerrillas would come to cooperate with the military division to carry out anti-mopping up, this obviously had a huge deviation from their thinking.

Chen Yuehan and Gao Hong have already discussed that if the cooperation with the Taohuashan guerrillas cannot go smoothly, Gao Hong has a relatively close relationship with Gao Jiu, so he will do Gao Jiu's work.Gao Hong directly suggested that this work be handed over to Jiang Xiaomei.

Chen Yuehan gave Gao Hong a wink, and Gao Hong understood what he meant, and said to Jiang Xiaomei: "Captain Jiang, your independent group grew up with the help of Mr. Gao, and you have cooperated with Mr. Gao the most times. , I suggest that you and Mr. Gao work out the anti-sweeping plan together."

Jiang Xiaomei is very smart, she understood Gao Hong's words, she was asked to ask Gao Jiu for help, and hoped that the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas would play the leading role in this anti-mopping up operation in Southwest Shandong.

Jiang Xiaomei was a little dumbfounded. Her two leaders had been reaching out to her for money, equipment, and combat backbones. Now that the war was approaching, they once again placed this burden on themselves.

However, Jiang Xiaomei was a staunch underground party member, so she didn't care too much about it.Moreover, Gao Jiu was her reliance. Facing such a severe situation, Jiang Xiaomei's first feeling was to rely on Gao Jiu to deal with the crisis she was facing.

She said directly: "Ninth brother, when it comes to fighting, all of us can't compare with you. This time, we will listen to you and do whatever you say."

Chen Yuehan, Yang Jiong and others also thought so.Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas are invincible, they are like a big tree, since the Southwest Military Sub-district cannot resist the Japanese attack, they simply follow the Taohuashan guerrillas to play a supporting role.

Gao Hong immediately said: "Master Jiu, I think Commander Jiang is right. In terms of experience in fighting against the enemy, you and your Taohuashan guerrillas must do their part. Our military division will cooperate with the Taohuashan guerrillas to fight."

Chen Yuehan, Yang Jiong, and Huang Shuigen said one after another: "Yes, Mr. Gao, we believe in your command ability. This time, our military division's anti-sweeping operation will follow your command, Mr. Gao."

Anti-mopping up in Southwest Shandong is an overall operation, which requires close cooperation between the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Southwest Military Division to conduct unified and joint operations.Since it is a unified operation, there should be a unified command, and they cannot go their own way.Everyone's suggestion fit Gao Jiu's idea, so he didn't refuse.

He said: "Since everyone trusts me, let's establish a joint headquarters for this operation to jointly command the southwestern Shandong area to carry out anti-sweeping operations."

Everyone agreed on this point. The members of the underground party who participated in the meeting were all the most important figures in the Southwest Military Division of Shandong Province, and they were all members of the joint command.For Taohuashan, after Gao Jiu's proposal, Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui, Wang Guimin, and Tian Chuan joined the joint headquarters.

After the joint headquarters was established, there was a unified command system for the anti-mopping up operations in Southwest Shandong.

How to smash the Japanese raid?Gao Jiu has been thinking about it for a long time, and his suggestion is that this anti-sweeping operation should play a special role in the Taohuashan guerrillas, attracting the main force of the Japanese army to besiege Taohuashan, and reduce the pressure on the underground party base in Southwest Shandong.The Shandong Southwest Military Sub-district organizes basic armed forces to attack the grassroots organizations of the Japanese and puppets, and harasses and harasses the main force of the Japanese army that besieged the Taohuashan guerrillas.

This plan attracted the main pressure of the Japanese army to Taohuashan. Gao Hong and others were very moved by Gao Jiu's spirit of self-sacrifice. They said that they would resolutely cooperate with the actions of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

Under Gao Jiu's suggestion, the Shandong Southwest Military Sub-district, with Jiang Xiaomei's independent regiment as the backbone, mobilized the main force of seven county brigades to form two major combat groups, each with about 7 people.

Gao Hong, Chen Yuehan, and Wang Guimin were in charge of one combat group, and the other was commanded by Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong, Tian Chuan, and Huang Shuigen, so as to be able to deal with the large number of Japanese and puppet troops entering the base area.

In order to reduce the loss of the base area, the masses were mobilized to fortify the wall and clear the country, and transferred the exposed underground party members and family members of the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing Gao Jiu's thoughtful consideration, everyone agreed.

Next, everyone discussed some details and decided to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army. In the future, they will no longer hold meetings in a unified manner, but will use telegrams to communicate at any time.Adjust the battle plan according to the actual situation.

The meeting stipulated that the order of command for this anti-sweeping operation is: Gao Jiu, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei, and Wang Zhankui.

After the joint combat meeting ended, Gao Hong and Chen Yuehan left.Gao Jiu also bid farewell to Jiang Xiaomei and the others.

Jiang Xiaomei reluctantly sent Gao Jiu away. Gao Jiu explained a lot of precautions to Jiang Xiaomei, telling her not to wear that red coat in the future, and not to charge in person when fighting.To tell the soldiers on the battlefield, do not salute her, to avoid exposing the target.Don't do this, don't do that, a lot of nagging.

For Gao Jiu's mother-in-law, Jiang Xiaomei was not bored, and she realized Gao Jiu's true love for her.

As the sun sets, the sunset glow is extremely gorgeous.

Jiang Xiaomei held Gao Jiu's hand and walked slowly with him.She only hopes that this road will never end, and she will always walk with her beloved one like this.

Separation is inevitable, and the two finally separated.Jiang Xiaomei threw herself into Gao Jiu's arms, tears wet the front of his shirt.

Gao Jiu raised Jiang Xiaomei's delicate face, and kissed her tenderly.

Afterwards, Gao Jiu looked at Tian Chuan.

Tian Chuan understood Gao Jiu's thoughts, and he said solemnly: "Master Jiu, don't worry, I will definitely protect Captain Jiang's safety. With me, Tian Chuan, Captain Jiang will never lose a hair."

Gao Jiu nodded, got on his horse and left.

Jiang Xiaomei watched Gao Jiu's back gradually drifting away, she couldn't help shouting loudly: "Brother Jiu, take care!"

Gao Jiu waved his hands without looking back, and rode his horse forward.

Jinan City, Gendarmerie Command.

Hamada Yoshiichi was walking in the corridor of the office building. He found that the people from the Gendarmerie Command consciously avoided him after seeing him. He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

It's no wonder that the current Hamada Yoshiichi has a great reputation. Anyone who implements his plan will end up with nothing to return.This time, Takeo Takayama and his 15 proud disciples died in a foreign country, and none of the pseudo-policemen and security forces who followed them came back.

For such a catastrophe, everyone is afraid to avoid it.

Yoshito Hamada returned to his office, looked at himself in the full-length mirror, and encouraged loudly: "Yoshito Hamada, you have a clear conscience, a clear conscience, a clear conscience."

He said it many times in a row, which restored his confidence a lot.He also had no choice. In the past, when he suffered a defeat, the people around him would comfort him, and General Matsuda would personally talk to him, encouraging him to cheer up and continue fighting.

But now, everyone was afraid to avoid him, and even General Matsuda looked a little embarrassed when he saw him.Hamada Yoshito is a strong person, although there will be times of weakness, but it will not take long for him to recover.

He is very confident. In this world, no one knows Gao Jiu better than himself.No one else can deal with Gao Jiu except himself.He will continue to fight, continue to fight Gao Jiu until the demon is completely wiped out.

Soon after, Yoshito Hamada, who regained his confidence, started a new job.

Yoshito Hamada's current job is to train the propaganda personnel.Today's Japanese army attaches great importance to the construction of grassroots organizations. When the Japanese army is mopping up, a large number of propaganda personnel will follow the action.Their functions are similar to the propaganda squads of the underground party. Every time the Japanese army occupies a place, they are responsible for mobilizing local personnel who are willing to defect to the Japanese puppets, set up maintenance committees, and establish grassroots political power.

Hamada Yoshito firmly believed that the most fundamental way to completely wipe out the Taohuashan guerrillas and the underground party's armed forces was to cut off their connection with ordinary people.He believed that as long as the water in the pond was drained, the fish in it would not be able to survive.Therefore, he is very concerned about the work of cultivating propaganda personnel.

Hamada Yoshito mobilized a large number of pseudo grassroots personnel, personally trained them, and taught them how to destroy the grassroots organizations of the underground party, how to consolidate the grassroots regime of the Japanese puppet, how to fight against the anti-Japanese elements, and how to provide food for the superior regime of the Japanese puppet , financial, intelligence and personnel support.

In a hotel in the city of Jinan, 170 backbone personnel of the puppet regime are being trained by the Hamada Yoshichi organization.Many of these Japanese and puppet grassroots personnel had never been to Jinan City before, and they felt very fresh after entering the city.

When they were in the countryside, the biggest official they had ever met was the captain of the gendarmerie in the county, who was only a lieutenant or a captain. Now they were able to personally listen to the teachings of a senior chief like Hamada Yoshihito. pleasure.

Moreover, these people are very happy, because after graduating from the training class, they will go to various places to serve as local officials at all levels. For these traitors, this is a matter of glory.

Captain Harada of the gendarmerie sometimes comes to the training class with Yoshito Hamada to give lectures.Looking at the excited faces below, he suddenly had an ominous feeling.These guys who have never seen the world, they are now part of Hamada Yoshito's plan, these people who are about to implement Hamada Yoshito's plan, will they start a new death journey soon?

Thinking of this, Captain Harada looked at Yoshito Hamada who was sitting below listening to the lecture, and felt chills.He decided to teach this class by himself, and he must find a reason in the future, and try not to act together with Hamada Yoshiichi.

Captain Harada's premonition was correct. The news that the Gendarmerie Command's special high-level class held a training class for pseudo grass-roots organization personnel in Jinan City was quickly learned by the underground party. The underground party leader heard that these Japanese puppets were about to After rushing to the southwestern area of ​​Shandong, he sent a telegram to the military division and Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu attaches great importance to this matter. These Japanese and puppets are all from the grassroots and are familiar with the rural situation. Many of them are local tyrants.The existence of these people will have a great destructive effect on the grassroots organizations of the underground party, and these people must be resolutely eliminated.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "This Yoshito Hamada is really a lucky star. Since he sent another big gift, we have no choice but to accept it."

Gao Jiu decided to send people to Jinan to destroy these Japanese and puppet grassroots personnel.Since the war was imminent, Gao Jiu was inconvenient to go out in person, so he sent Ning Wen and Ning Wu to lead ten special forces to Jinan City to carry out this anti-rape mission.
