The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 595
Just when they were about to reach the blocking position of the coalition forces, fighter jets of the national army appeared in this airspace in time, and the Japanese bomber fleet had to return to Hanoi Airport.

Of course, Gao Jiu had negotiated with the Eighth Air Force of the Japanese Army in advance. In short, Gao Jiu gave the Eighth Air Force of the Japanese Army a reasonable excuse to give them good reasons not to reinforce the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army.

After a day and night of fighting, the reinforcements of the Japanese Fifth Division were firmly blocked in the area east of Chiang Mai Ridge.The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, which was besieged in Chiang Mai, was in an increasingly difficult situation.

The coalition forces have a large number of troops, and they attack the Japanese army non-stop in the form of wheel battles.The Japanese 21st Brigade was exhausted and consumed a lot of ammunition.

By 10 am the next day, there were only 21 people left in the Japanese 3000st Brigade, and the ammunition was basically exhausted.Moreover, these officers and soldiers had no chance to sleep, they were exhausted and their morale was very low.

Gao Jiu received a report from Guo Hengming, saying that they were absolutely sure that they could stop the reinforcements of the Japanese army.Therefore, Gao Jiu notified the news to the coalition forces.

At this time, there were more than 3000 coalition troops gathered on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, well-equipped and well-supplied.When they learned that there were only 1 Japanese soldiers left in the city, and that Japanese reinforcements could not arrive, everyone's morale was even higher, and they accelerated the frequency of their attacks.At [-]:[-] noon, the Taohuashan Special Forces took the lead in breaking through the north gate of Chiang Mai City.The Vietnamese army rushed into the city with the Taohuashan Special Forces, followed by the Thai army.

When the British troops saw that others had breached the north gate of Chiang Mai City, they were not to be outdone, and launched a fierce attack, and soon after they broke through the south gate of Chiang Mai City.

The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was extremely tenacious, relying on the buildings in the city to start street fighting with the coalition forces.

In the street fighting, the coalition troops were numerous, and they climbed onto the roof one after another to suppress the firepower of the Japanese army.The large number of bazookas brought by the Taohuashan guerrillas played a huge role in the street fighting. They kept destroying the firepower of the Japanese army. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and continued to shrink to the brigade headquarters in the center of the city.

到了下午4:30。日军第21旅团残部已经不足1000人了。他们被压缩在长宽不足200米的狭小区域内。

Gao Jiu ordered the coalition forces to suspend their offensive and persuade the remnants of the Japanese 21st Brigade to surrender.

The head of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army has gone through this series of failures, and his original ambition and arrogance have been completely defeated.The establishment of the 21st Brigade is different from that of ordinary Japanese brigades. They are all strengthened brigades, with a total strength of more than 11000 people. Today, only less than 1000 people have been beaten.The enemy army surrounded outside is well-equipped and has 7 to [-] people. It is obvious that what awaits them is the complete annihilation of the army.He really didn't have the confidence to continue the fight, so he decided to surrender.

However, in the past, the highest-ranking commander of the Japanese army who surrendered Gao Jiu was Captain Dazuo, a major general of the army. If he surrendered to the enemy, it would be a great blow to the morale of the entire Japanese army.He knew that neither the Japanese military nor the people in Japan would let him and his family go.

He looked around and saw that the other Japanese officers and soldiers in the headquarters looked numb, obviously losing their fighting spirit.And someone occasionally raised his head, his eyes showed a desire to survive, hoping that he, the brigade leader, would give the order to surrender.

The head of the 21st Brigade thought over and over again, and finally made up his mind.He decided to let his officers and soldiers surrender, but he himself chose to commit suicide by caesarean section to keep his officers and soldiers and his family safe.

He took out a family photo. There were five people in the photo. He and his wife were sitting in the front row, and three teenagers were standing behind. They were the two sons and one daughter of the head of the brigade.He looked at the photo in despair, knowing that if he took one look, one less, he would never see it again, a cloudy tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Kiyoo Itagaki, captain of the 21st Wing, walked into the headquarters with a captain and the deputy of the 21st Wing.They said: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the enemy is trying to persuade them to surrender, what are you going to do?"

The head of the brigade shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's meaningless to continue fighting. In order to save the lives of the remaining officers and soldiers, I plan to surrender to Gao Jiu."

As soon as the words fell, Kiyoo Itagaki and the two Japanese officers following him took out the bastard box.Kiyoo Itagaki roared: "You coward! You have completely disgraced the Yellow Army of Japan. I have received orders from my superiors to kill any cowards and cowards who dare to defect to the enemy in order to maintain the honor of the Yellow Army of Japan. "After speaking, he shot directly.

The head of the brigade opened his eyes wide in disbelief, seeing several blood holes appearing on his chest.He originally had good intentions, but he didn't expect to end up with such a result.Reluctantly, he glanced at the sky for the last time, reached out and grabbed his family portrait, and fell to the ground.

The reason why Kiyoo Itagaki came to kill the head of the brigade was because he had already received the order to die. Under any circumstances, he must fight until one soldier dies, and he must not surrender to Gao Jiu.

This mission was conveyed by his uncle Shiro Itagaki, Minister of the Army of the Japanese Army. An infantry brigade of the 21st Regiment had already surrendered to Gao Jiu. As the captain of the 21st Regiment, Kiyoo Itagaki’s uncle had already been attacked by political enemies.

If his nephew also surrendered to the enemy, he, the Minister of the Army, could only take the blame and resign. He made up his mind to sacrifice his nephew. He believed in his nephew's bravery, but if the 21st Brigade The head of the brigade took the lead in surrendering, and he would also coerce his nephew to surrender together.

It was he who issued a secret order to his nephew, Kiyoo Itagaki, that if the head of the 21st Brigade had the intention to surrender, he would be killed immediately.

Kiyoo Itagaki is a fanatical terrorist. In order to protect the honor of himself and his uncle, he is determined to fight Gao Jiu to the end, so there is this scene in front of him.

After killing the brigade commander, Kiyoo Itagaki summoned the remaining Japanese officers and announced that he had taken over the command of the 21st Brigade. Uncle Shiro Itagaki, Minister of the Army, has already said that the remnants of the 21st Brigade cannot surrender. If they surrender, their families will be severely punished.If he can fight to the end and maintain the honor of the 5th Division and the Yellow Army of Japan, his uncle will come forward and give generous pensions to the families of all the officers and soldiers who died in battle.

The officers understood that this was forcing them to die.Looking at Kiyoo Itagaki with blood-red eyes, no one dared to speak.The few diehards following Kiyoo Itagaki shouted, shouting the slogan of His Majesty Tianhuang, to safeguard the honor of the Yellow Army of Japan, and fight to the end.The officers also raised their arms helplessly and screamed wildly after them.

Kiyoo Itagaki knew that there were no reinforcements, so instead of waiting to die so slowly, it would be better to fight the enemy vigorously.He gathered the troops, mobilized hoarsely, and then ordered the remaining artillery to shoot out all the shells, and rushed towards the enemy outside.

Facing the suicide-like actions of the Japanese army, the coalition troops who besieged them had no choice but to fulfill them.They used fierce artillery fire and machine guns to hit the rushing enemy until they could no longer see a standing Japanese officer and soldier.

Itagaki Kiyoo and his diehards died on the way to charge, at least to save his uncle the last bit of face.

The officers and soldiers of the army were also smart. When Kiyoo Itagaki led the brigade to charge outward, they followed behind, gradually slowed down, and then simply fled back.They heard the gunfire outside stopped, knowing that Kiyoo Itagaki and others were finished, so they chose to surrender and survived by luck.

The 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army has a great reputation. They once captured many famous historical cities such as Tianjin, Taiyuan, and Guangzhou.On the battlefield in Southeast Asia, they also captured the capitals of enemy countries such as Saigon and Yangon, and they were the best among the Japanese ace troops.Unexpectedly, they were all wiped out by a group of mobs led by Gao Jiu, which caused a huge shock to the Japanese army.

The destruction of the Japanese 21st Brigade greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese armed forces around the world.Britain, Mi and other countries made big reports on this, especially the British, who trumpeted the victory of the Chiang Mai Battle. The British Governor in Burma and his main British officers have now become well-known heroes in the UK. .

The big shots in Chongqing were also impressed by the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army. The head of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer Academy like him. He said with emotion: "The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army is so powerful. Can't beat Gao Jiu who was born as a bandit."

The lady was a little unhappy when she heard this.She said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you keep saying that Gao Jiu is a bandit? How many Japanese did Gao Jiu kill? To maintain the dignity of the country, is there a bandit like him?"

The big man didn't really think that Gao Jiu was a bandit, he just said it casually.Seeing that his wife was upset, he said casually, "I didn't mean that. But this Gao Jiu is not willing to work for the national government, he is still a bandit in essence."

The madam became even more angry, she stared and said: "You still say?" She stretched out her delicate fingers and pointed at the big man.

Madam has a beautiful appearance, even when she is angry, she has a special charm.The big man deliberately said that Gao Jiu was a bandit. Seeing Madam angry, he didn't get angry, but looked at Madam with admiration.

Seeing the appearance of the big man, the madam felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.She glared at the big man and couldn't help laughing.

After the Japanese 21st Brigade was wiped out, the head of the Japanese 5th Division worried that the rest of the troops would suffer the same fate as the 21st Brigade, so he immediately ordered the 20th Brigade to break away from contact with the coalition forces, and the entire division was withdrawn. up.

Now that the Japanese threat has been removed on the Thai-Myanmar border and in Myanmar, Gao Jiu has lost interest in continuing to fight.He handed over the command of the coalition forces to the British Governor in Burma. He led the troops belonging to the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Kokang Regional Autonomous Army and returned to his station.

At this time, in the southern part of Henan, the drought has shown its fangs. It has been a long time since there has been a drop of rain. Under the scorching sun, the ground has cracked wide gaps.The planting of autumn grain cannot be carried out in most drought-stricken areas, and the seedlings that have been planted are also withered under the scorching sun.There are a small number of remaining crops in areas close to water sources, and they will also face a large locust plague that is also rare in a century.

This fall, the entire affected area in southern Henan has basically lost its grain harvest.What people don't know is that this drought will last until the first half of next year, and next year's spring plowing will not be possible.

This tragic drought will cause more than 100 counties to be affected, and more than 1000 million people will become disaster victims.

Gao Jiu had already reported this matter to Madam in advance, and Madam has been paying attention to this matter.When she saw that, as Gao Jiu said, a large area of ​​drought had occurred in the south of Henan, she knew that Gao Jiu's prophecy would really come true.So the lady reported the matter to the big man.

After the big man heard about this incident, his heart was also very heavy.When he heard that Gao Jiu had made arrangements in advance and stored hundreds of millions of catties of grain, he felt better.He also attached great importance to this matter, so he ordered the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Disaster Relief Agency, the Henan Provincial Government, and the local garrison to form a disaster relief committee, with his wife as the director of the disaster relief committee to deploy disaster relief matters.

Regarding the drought in Henan, the underground party also received Gao Jiu's notification in advance, and they also made corresponding preparations.In June of this year, they mobilized the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the base areas to carry out drilling wells to fight the drought, and distributed food to the people in the disaster-stricken areas in advance.

The wife sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking Gao Jiu to fly to Chongqing to discuss disaster relief matters.

Accompanied by Ouyang Xue, Gao Jiu was about to fly to Chongqing.When they arrived at the airport, Ouyang Xue's face was pale, and she suddenly retched.

Gao Jiu asked with concern: "Ruoxue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Let's go to the hospital first."

Ouyang Xue shook her head, and cast a reproachful glance at Gao Jiu, her fair cheeks suddenly flushed.She whispered shyly, "I'm fine, I'm pregnant."

"Ah! Really? I'm going to be a father." Gao Jiu was so excited that he couldn't help shouting.

Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming and others who were seeing off at the airport couldn't help cheering when they saw that the master finally had a descendant
The sudden good news made Gao Jiu very happy, and he didn't have the mood to go to Chongqing anymore.He sent a telegram to his wife saying that he would not be of much help in Chongqing. If the disaster relief committee led by his wife needs food, he can provide 3 million catties of food according to his wife's request and deliver it to the designated place according to his wife's request.

Madam asked Gao Jiu to go to Chongqing mainly because Gao Jiu had food in his hands.Since Gao Jiu expressed his willingness to provide food, Madam no longer forced him to go to Chongqing.

In the following days, Gao Jiu accompanied Ouyang Xue every day, taking care of her carefully.

In order to help the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the underground party base area tide over the difficulties, Gao Jiu took out 1 million catties of grain stored in Taohuashan and handed it over to Jiang Xiaomei.The underground party also expressed its gratitude for this.

The construction and development of the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle was fast, but soon encountered a big problem, that is, the power supply could not keep up.Gao Jiu has invested in the construction of a thermal power plant and two small hydroelectric power plants, but these facilities cannot be built in a short time.Gao Jiu negotiated with the British Governor-General in Myanmar to provide part of the power to the northern part of the Golden Triangle from the Myanmar Governor-General's Office.Long Yingyuan asked the King of Yunnan to transmit electricity from Yunnan to the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle, which finally temporarily alleviated the electricity shortage in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

On this day, the director of the administrative committee, Mara Nian, approached Gao Jiu and said that the aborigines in the Golden Triangle area had sent representatives to the administrative committee to protest to him.
