The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 511 The Incredible Ending
All the officers of the Japanese army knew the regimental captain very well and knew what he was thinking.Everyone expressed that if the superiors hold them accountable in the future, they are willing to bear it together with the captain.

The captain who was the first to propose surrender, in order to show that he was not greedy for life and fear of death, he said impassionedly: "Your Excellency, fellow captain, in this situation where we cannot win at all, we should not only consider personal gains and losses, but should try our best to To protect the lives of the soldiers of the Yellow Army. This is also to be loyal to His Majesty Tianhuang and to serve the Great Japanese Empire."

The captain's words gave everyone great comfort and gave them a good excuse to surrender.Everyone said that regardless of personal gains and losses, they came to fight for the chance of survival for the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Army.

Before their army, there had been many examples of the Huang army surrendering to Gao Jiu collectively, and everyone was not under so much pressure on this.Seeing everyone's stance, the captain of the regiment finally made up his mind and decided to surrender to Gao Jiu. He first sent an order to all the Japanese officers and soldiers to stop shooting.

Gao Jiu noticed the changes on the battlefield, but he didn't care so much and continued to throw grenades forward.

Gao Jiu picked up a grenade and was about to throw it forward, when suddenly he heard someone shouting: "Don't fight, don't fight, I am Shan Shanmu, the supreme commander of the Japanese army, and I request to negotiate with Mr. Gao Jiu."

Gao Jiu also thought that it was almost over, and it was estimated that the Japanese army could not bear it, so he ordered the Taohuashan guerrillas to cease fire.

He said: "I am Gao Jiu, Your Excellency Shan Shan Mu, if you have something to say, please speak."

Gao Jiu's attitude is without the slightest arrogance, and he gives Shan Shan the respect he deserves.

Shan Shanmu's mood improved a lot, and he said: "Dear Mr. Gao, I admit that we have already been defeated, and we are willing to surrender to Mr. Gao, and ask Mr. Gao to save the lives of the soldiers of the Huang Army. Any responsibility is mine alone. to bear."

Shan Shanmu has to make such a gesture, so that he can win the respect of his officers and soldiers, and when a large number of people speak good words for him, he may be exonerated.Of course, Shan Shanmu is also ready to take the responsibility by himself. He saved a large number of Japanese soldiers. Even if he is dealt with by the military law, it is a great comfort to his soul.

Regardless of the official evaluation of him, at least in the eyes of ordinary Japanese soldiers, he will have a high status.

Gao Jiu has always left room for others, he said: "Your Excellency Shanshan, I appreciate your attitude. Please rest assured! As long as the officers and soldiers of your army put down their weapons and surrender, I will guarantee the safety of your lives and release all of you Get out safely."

Hearing this, Shan Shan no longer had the slightest worries, he shouted loudly: "Thank you Mr. Gao for your generosity, I will go over and surrender to Mr. Gao."

Not long after, Shan Shanmu led the officers above the captain to Gao Jiu.He took the lead in surrendering his command saber and bowed to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu asked Shan Shanmu and others to go back and bring out the entire Japanese army.

Gao Hong, Cui Zhenshan, Yang Jiong, Wang Shuanzi and others heard the sound of explosions and gunshots in the city. They were very itchy, hoping to go in and join the battle.However, Gao Jiu had said beforehand that they were only allowed to stick to their positions. Everyone had no choice but to listen to the sound of guns in the city.

Cui Zhenshan asked: "Commander Gao, you have been with Master Jiu for the longest time. There are thousands of Japanese soldiers in the city, and Master Jiu and his men only have a few hundred. If the fight continues like this, when will the Japanese troops in the city be wiped out? "

Gao Hong said with a smile: "You have also fought with Master Jiu and know how powerful he is. However, I'm afraid you still don't know why Master Jiu doesn't let us participate in the battle?"

Cui Zhenshan and the others had indeed fought with Gao Jiu, but that battle was during the day, so they really didn't know what advantage Gao Jiu had at night?
Wang Shuanzi couldn't help asking: "Commander Gao, tell me, why did Master Jiu make such arrangements?"

Gao Hong said: "Master Jiu is a man of gods. He can see things more clearly at night than we do during the day. The devils can't see him, so they can only be beaten."

Cui Zhenshan and the others couldn't believe it when they heard this.In their hearts, Gao Jiu is very powerful, and they are willing to call him a man of God.But that was just a respectful title, they didn't expect that Gao Jiu really had magical powers.

Cui Zhenshan held out his thumb in admiration, and Wang Shuanzi couldn't help but said, "Jiu Ye is too awesome. If the beating continues like this, the devil won't be able to last for a few days."

Yang Jiong couldn't help but said, "I'm afraid there is no one who knows more about Master Jiu than I do. I dare to bet you that Master Jiu will be able to deal with the devils in the city tonight."

Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi were deeply impressed by the devil's fighting power. Although they knew that Gao Jiu was very powerful, they were still a little bit dissatisfied that they could wipe out thousands of Japanese troops in one night with the help of hundreds of guerrillas in Peach Blossom Mountain. Believe too much.

However, out of respect for Gao Jiu, the two didn't show their emotions, and they didn't respond to Yang Jiong's words about betting.

In the command post of the Seventh Division, the senior officers of the Seventh Division were a little nervous. They knew that the Japanese reinforcements were strong, and they were worried that the Eighth Route Army, which was responsible for fighting the attack, would not be able to stop the Japanese attack. Once the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they would wait for them I am afraid that it is a disaster of extinction.

Everyone felt that Gao Jiu's decision was a little unreliable, and even thought that Gao Jiu had never commanded a large army to fight, so he took hundreds of people to attack the Japanese army.

The chief of staff said doubtfully: "Mr. Gao is fighting like this, when can the Japanese army be dealt with?
A regiment leader also said: "Mr. Gao's Taohuashan guerrillas can indeed fight, but most of the Eighth Route Army who participated in the encirclement and suppression have just joined the army, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. Our troops are now very popular. If Cangxian County cannot be captured as soon as possible , there will be big troubles in the future.”

The officers were also worried about their future. They talked a lot and made suggestions to the division commander Gao Wenchang, asking to discuss with Gao Jiu tomorrow and launch a general attack on the county as soon as possible.

Gao Wenchang agreed with everyone's opinion. He said: "I will go to see Mr. Gao after daybreak, and request to launch a general attack on the county seat immediately, take down the county seat as soon as possible, and leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible. Even if you lose some people, it is better than staying here and waiting until the Japanese army It is much better to destroy the whole army when reinforcements arrive."

Suddenly, a head of the regiment asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, there is no movement in the city?"

Everyone was arguing fiercely just now and didn't pay attention to this situation. After hearing what the regimental leader said, everyone also noticed this abnormal situation.

Everyone was very worried, could Gao Jiu and the others have a problem?After all, there are too many Japanese troops in the city, and if something goes wrong with Gao Jiu, no one will talk about the future of the Peace Army.They had to find out the situation quickly, so they immediately sent someone to get in touch with Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas.

There has been no movement in the city, and the officers of the 7th Division feel very depressed.Time passed by every minute and every second, and the waiting was too hard to bear.

A team leader finally couldn't bear the pressure in his heart, he said: "Master, we have taken refuge with Gao Jiu just like this, isn't it a little too impulsive?"

For the officers of the Seventh Division, they are now in a moment of worrying about gains and losses, and they are deeply worried about their future.The chief of staff thought for a long time. He really wanted to leave a way out for himself. He was weighing in his heart whether to follow Gao Jiu to continue to resist the Japanese, or to continue to seek refuge with the Japanese.Now he is afraid of both Gao Jiu and the Japanese, and he can't make up his mind for a while.

All the officers had very complicated thoughts, and everyone turned their attention to the division commander Gao Wenchang.

Gao Wenchang was familiar with the officers under his command, and he said, "Don't jump to conclusions just yet, and wait and see. If the Anti-Japanese Army gains the upper hand, we will resolutely follow Mr. Gao. If the Japanese army in the city cannot be solved , the reinforcements of the Japanese army broke through the obstruction of the Eighth Route Army, let's think of another way."

He didn't say clearly what kind of method he was thinking of, but the officers all knew what he meant.So everyone stopped talking and waited for the contact person sent out to reply.

Not long after, the staff officer sent out ran back, and as soon as he entered the tent, he shouted loudly: "Master, the devil has surrendered."

There was no sound in the tent, and everyone looked at the staff officer who came to report in disbelief, digesting the message he conveyed in their minds.

"How is this possible?" Chief of Staff Wang Yunliang said doubtfully.

Everyone didn't believe that only Gao Jiu and a small number of guerrillas under him attacked the Japanese army in the city. Thousands of proud devils surrendered in such a short period of time. This is too incredible.

The staff officer said loudly again: "It's true, the devils in the city have really surrendered. They are now driving out of the city in a whole team."

Hearing this, everyone no longer doubted.At this time, someone suddenly remembered that the 21st Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army also collectively surrendered to Gao Jiu.Everyone was very excited, and before the teacher Gao Wenchang could speak, they ran out of the tent in a swarm and ran towards the city gate.

Gao Hong, Yang Jiong, Cui Zhenshan, Wang Shuanzi and others, along with tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, had already heard the news and waited at the east gate of the city.

The Japanese soldiers lined up neatly and walked out with bare hands.For these Japanese, Gao Jiu also gave them enough face. In addition to letting them put down their weapons, they also let them take back the command swords of the officers, and Gao Jiu didn't even confiscate their unit's flag.

Therefore, the Japanese army simply surrendered after losing the battle without losing much dignity, so these Japanese troops are also easier to accept emotionally.They maintained good discipline, and it was much easier for Gao Jiu to deal with them.

Gao Jiu directly sent special forces to escort them away.

Gao Jiu has his own considerations for doing this.On the one hand, so many devils have mouths, so how much food would be wasted by keeping them.On the other hand, the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the Hebei area hated the Japanese deeply, and he was very worried that they would not let go of these Japanese who had surrendered. If there was a massacre of captives, Gao Jiu would lose credibility with the Japanese in the future , and then want to make people surrender on the battlefield, it will be difficult.At that time, I still don't know how many lives of the soldiers of the day will be sacrificed in vain.

Under the escort of the special forces, the Japanese army went directly to Peiping.

After the Japanese troops left the city, Gao Jiu walked out of the city gate. Thousands of officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and the Seventh Division couldn't help cheering when they saw Gao Jiu.

"Master Jiu is mighty!"

"Master Jiu is mighty!"

At the beginning, the sound was a bit messy, but later, the sound became very neat, and the cheers of tens of thousands of people shook the sky and resounded through the sky.

The troops of the Eighth Route Army Jizhong Military Region fought very hard. They made great sacrifices and delayed the action of Japanese reinforcements.

The leaders of the Jizhong Military Region have made psychological preparations for long-term combat and huge sacrifices.

Who would have thought that the reinforcements of the Japanese army would suddenly retreat.

It turned out that when the Japanese army surrendered in Cang County, they sent a telegram to the Japanese army who came to rescue them. It would be meaningless for the Japanese reinforcements to continue to Cang County, so they retreated directly to Beiping.

Gao Jiu and others were really able to determine the time when the Japanese surrendered later.Therefore, the time for them to send a telegram to the reinforcements of the Eighth Route Army was also delayed.

When the heads of the Eighth Route Army Jizhong Military Region were wondering, Cui Zhenshan sent a telegram saying that all the Japanese troops in Cang County had surrendered.

The leaders of the Jizhong Military Region were also unbelievable, and they sent a telegram again to confirm.

When they confirmed it, they were also deeply moved.

Wang Zhankui and others continued to attack the Japanese and puppet troops gathering in Cangzhou City from all walks of life, causing heavy casualties to the enemy.

After they received Gao Jiu's telegram, they stopped their combat operations and went to Cangzhou City, preparing to cooperate with Gao Jiu and others to attack Cangzhou City.

Jiang Xiaomei and others lay in ambush on the highway, waiting for the Japanese army to go to Cang County for reinforcements. They did not expect that those Japanese soldiers not only did not come to Cang County, but opened the city gate and fled in the opposite direction.

It turned out that the Japanese army here received a notification from the Japanese army in Cang County, telling them to evacuate quickly.So, they abandoned Cangzhou City and fled directly.

Jiang Xiaomei received Gao Jiu's telegram, and after figuring out the situation, she led the cavalry troops of the Eighth Route Army directly into Cangzhou City.

The Japanese soldiers who escaped from Cangzhou met Wang Zhankui and others on the road. The Japanese soldiers had no intention of fighting. After a short exchange of fire, they retreated while fighting, leaving behind a lot of corpses, weapons and ammunition, and fled directly.

Wang Zhankui and others had too few troops and did not pursue them, so they went to Cangzhou City and joined Jiang Xiaomei and others.

In the headquarters of the 7th Division outside the city of Cang County, Gao Jiu and others held a joint meeting to study the next step of combat operations.

More than 600 of the 300 horses of the Taohuashan guerrilla team were killed in the artillery fire, and some of them have returned.

In this battle, the weapons and ammunition seized piled up like a mountain. Gao Jiu took out some and left them for the Eighth Route Army troops brought by Jiang Xiaomei, and also left some for Jiang Xinshan and his son.Most of the rest were given to Cui Zhenshan and other Eighth Route Army units in the Jizhong Military Region.Everyone was smiling and very satisfied.

For the Seventh Division of the Peace Army, most of the weapons they originally used were the equipment of the national army.These Japanese weapons were of no use to them, Gao Jiu promised that he would supplement them with standard national army equipment in the future.In addition, they were given another 10 oceans, and the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division were also very satisfied.

After distributing the spoils, start to study the next combat operation.

At this time, in Northeast Hebei, there was no main force of the Japanese army. Cui Zhenshan and other troops in the Central Hebei Military Region now had sufficient weapons and ammunition. They were preparing to launch an offensive in Northeast Hebei to attack scattered Japanese and puppet troops in various counties and towns. Expand the results of the war and strive to make more foreign money.

The officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division of the Peace Army have already discussed their own way out.Since the Nationalist government was an open and legal government at this time and the mainstream of society, they were still willing to join the national army.

Gao Jiu respected their opinions and decided to take the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army brought by Gao Hong and Jiang Xiaomei to escort the Seventh Division to Shandong, then to Southwest Shandong, and then to the 41st Army of the National Army.

Commander Wang and Deputy Commander Wang Jindong of the 41st Army of the National Army were very happy when they heard that Gao Jiu had sent a division for them.

They sent a telegram, expressing a warm welcome to the 7th Division of the Peace Army to join the ranks of the 41st Army, and expressing that they treated them equally with their original national army units.

The officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division were completely determined to find a way out, and everyone felt relieved and went to Southwest Shandong in a happy mood.

Not long after, Gao Jiu and others escorted the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division of the Peace Army on their way home.

During this battle, Jiang Xinshan and his son's guerrillas basically died, and they had no idea of ​​staying in the Cangzhou area.So, I went to Southwest Shandong with Jiang Xiaomei.

After entering the border of Shandong, Gao Wenchang, the commander of the Seventh Division, and others were worried about being intercepted by the Japanese army, and they couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Regarding their concern, Wang Zhankui said with a smile: "You don't have to worry at all, these devils in Shandong have already been scared by the Jiuye, and with the Jiuye here, you should put your heart in your stomach.

The team of Gao Jiu and others first passed through the housing area of ​​the independent and mixed Ninth Brigade.The devils heard that Gao Jiu was coming, and they brought a huge team of thousands of people. Everyone hid in the gun tower, for fear that Gao Jiu would come to trouble them.

Gao Jiu and the others passed through the defense zone of the Independent Ninth Brigade without firing a single shot.

When we got here, because Jiang Xiaomei and the others hadn't finished their meeting, they could only break up with Gao Jiu again.

On the way, Gao Hong and Yang Jiong had already quietly talked about Gao Jiu and Jiang Xiaomei with Jiang Xinshan and his son. Seeing that they were about to break up, Jiang Xinshan planned to talk about this matter with Gao Jiu.However, he was a little embarrassed to come forward directly, so he asked Gao Hong and Yang Jiong to talk to Gao Jiu first.

After dinner that day, Gao Hong and Yang Jiong came to see Gao Jiu and saw Gao Jiu chatting with Wang Zhankui, Tian Chuan and Zheng Sanpao. They thought this was an opportunity, so they explained their intentions.

Zheng Sanpao and others were very happy and loudly agreed.Wang Zhankui and Tian Chuan knew more about Gao Jiu about women, they both felt a little embarrassed and looked at Gao Jiu worriedly.
