Chapter 605 Someone Wants To Get Cheap
After the captain finished speaking, he felt that he had come up with a good idea, and he glanced at the people present with some complacency.

But he suddenly discovered that everyone looked at him very strangely, as if looking at a dead person.

When the brigade commander saw that the regimental captain refuted his opinion, he got angry and said disdainfully: "You are really capable. Do you know that Shimada, Hamasaki Ayumi, and Sakai's deputy staff officers of the North China Dispatch Army Captain, Commander of the Second Air Force, how did they die? Do you think you are better than these people?"

Speaking of this, he said to Tian Zhong Minyu: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. You can't do such a thing. If he insists on doing it, then let him do it himself. Just give Gao Jiuhui The telegram told him that it was this guy who decided to do this on his own initiative, so let Gao Jiu come to him directly."

"You, I..." The captain also thought of the tragic death of Shimada and others in the legend, and he also became afraid, and dared not say any more.

Shanzhong Minyu said: "My colleagues, the reality is before us today. The enemy's troops are several times stronger than ours, and their firepower far exceeds ours. If this battle continues, there is no certainty of victory. Our army has no reinforcements, and if we continue to fight, we will only be wiped out. In this case, I want to hear everyone's opinions."

The brigade leader saw that although Minyu Tanaka did not express his point of view, he could already hear it from his tone, and knew that the division leader had already had the idea of ​​surrender.

He said: "Your Excellency, Division Chief, now that our army is doomed, if we continue to fight, the lives of all officers and soldiers of the division will be ruined. It is meaningless to continue to resist.

Gao Jiu is the world-famous God of War, no one can defeat this powerful enemy, and surrendering to him is not a humiliating thing.In the past, many units of the Yellow Army surrendered to Gao Jiu, and finally saved the lives of the soldiers.

Today, our army has reached a dead end. I suggest that in order to save the lives of the soldiers and to prevent the families of the soldiers from suffering the pain of losing their loved ones, I propose to Gao Jiu to save the lives of the soldiers and the Yellow Army of Japan. Basic dignity is the minimum condition, and then surrender to Gao Jiu. "

Many of the officers present had this idea. Since someone took the lead, some people also echoed it. Most of the officers agreed with the opinion of the brigade commander.

The chief of staff also said: "It's meaningless to continue fighting now. I also agree to surrender to Gao Jiu."

The chief of staff was the same as all the officers. When they spoke, none of them said they surrendered to the enemy, but they all said they surrendered to Gao Jiu.Because Gao Jiu's reputation is so resounding, it's really not a shameful thing to surrender to Gao Jiu.

Tanaka Minyu saw that everyone had basically the same opinion, so he asked again: "Dear colleagues, do you have any other opinions besides this?"

Most of the officers shook their heads to express that they had no different opinions.

The two captains who raised objections saw that everyone had the same opinion, so it was inconvenient for them to object.In fact, both of them didn't want to die, but it was just because of their long-standing thoughts that made them unable to turn around for a while.Seeing that the overall situation was settled, the two of them did not raise any different opinions.

Tian Zhong Minyu said: "Since everyone agrees, in order to save the lives of all officers and soldiers of the division, I agree to send someone to negotiate with Gao Jiu. Which of you will negotiate with Gao Jiu?"

In order to show his courage, the leading brigade commander said, "Your Excellency, division commander, I am willing to negotiate with Gao Jiu."

Because the brigade commander was the one who first proposed to surrender to Gao Jiu, he didn't want the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army to look down on him, so he volunteered to be a negotiating representative.In fact, there was no risk for him to do so, because he had heard that Gao Jiu had never made things difficult for the negotiating representatives.

Seeing that the head of the brigade was willing to act as a negotiator, Toshiyu Tanaka said approvingly: "Very good. Sakamoto-kun, then please."

Not long after, a white flag was raised over the city of Lanxian County, and then the city gate opened, and the head of Sakamoto's brigade rode a horse, holding a white flag, and walked towards the coalition's position.

Soon, he was brought in front of Gao Jiu.

The head of Sakamoto's brigade came to Gao Jiu, and after explaining his identity, he proposed to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu was very polite to him, and said, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, you can put forward your conditions."

Sakamoto said: "General Gao, our army can surrender to your army, hoping to save the lives of the yellow army soldiers in the city, let our army leave safely, and let us take away the regiment flags of each regiment."

Gao Jiu said: "I agree with all these conditions. Not only that, I will send a medical team to treat your wounded. Your commander can carry a command knife, and I will send troops to send you out safely."

Sakamoto didn't expect Gao Jiu to be so magnanimous. He said gratefully: "General Gao, thank you for your care. I'll go back and report to His Excellency the Division Chief."

Gao Jiu politely sent him away personally.

After returning to the county seat, the head of the Sakamoto brigade came to the headquarters.All the officers looked at him nervously, hoping that he would bring good news.

When the head of the Sakamoto brigade announced the results of the negotiations, the officers of the Japanese army breathed a sigh of relief.

Tanaka Toshiyu was also very satisfied with this result, and he said in a heavy tone: "My colleagues, I am very pleased that the lives of all the officers and soldiers of the 42nd Division have been preserved and the organizational system of the 42nd Division has been maintained.

But we were defeated and surrendered after all. As the head of the division, I have to take full responsibility for this matter.Therefore, I decided that the chief of staff would lead the troops to surrender to Gao Jiu, and I would kill myself by caesarean section to apologize to His Majesty Tian Huang. "

After speaking, he went to draw his command knife.

Tanaka Minyu deliberately made such a gesture. He knew that he would be held accountable by his superiors if he was defeated and surrendered to the enemy. his guilt.

Tian Zhong Minyu drew his command saber while looking at the crowd, hoping that someone would dissuade him.

The chief of staff knew him very well and knew that he was doing a show. The chief of staff hurried forward to persuade him: "Your Excellency, division chief, you can't do this. This defeat is not your responsibility, you have done your part." Responsibility, if the superiors hold you accountable, all our officers and soldiers will appeal to the superiors. You have fulfilled the responsibility of a division commander, and you have preserved the lives of all the officers and soldiers of the 42nd Division and the Japanese Yellow Emperor under the most difficult circumstances. the dignity of the army."

"Yes, yes, Your Excellency, Division Chief, you have fulfilled your responsibilities, and we will definitely appeal to your superiors jointly on your behalf." The officers also persuaded Tanaka Minyu one after another.

Tanaka Minyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, tell the troops to lay down their weapons and leave the city as a whole."

Not long after, Tanaka Toshiyu first led the officers above the regiment captain to line up out of the city and arrived at the temporary headquarters of the coalition forces.

At this time, the commanders of the various units of the coalition forces had rushed over after hearing the news, and they wanted to witness this glorious moment with their own eyes.

Tanaka Minyu led the Japanese officers in a neat queue and walked up to Gao Jiu.He stepped forward, first bowed to Gao Jiu, and then said respectfully: "Dear General Gao, I admit that our army has been defeated. I surrender to General Gao on behalf of the 42nd Division of the Yellow Army Army of Great Japan." Said After that, he held his command saber in both hands, raised it above his head very respectfully, and then bent down.

Gao Jiu reached out to take Tian Zhong Minyu's command knife, and said, "Okay! I accept your surrender on behalf of the Chinese army and people."

The commanders present and the officers and soldiers of the allied forces saw the surrender of the arrogant Japanese army. They were extremely excited and burst into cheers like a tsunami.

After Gao Jiu finished speaking, he returned Tanaka Minyu's command knife to him, invited him and the chief of staff to sit in the headquarters, and explained the follow-up matters to them.

Ninth Theater Command.war room.

After receiving the telegram from Li Fengming, the war room was full of joy.

Deputy Commander Zhang said with emotion: "Mr. Gao is Mr. Gao. The same national army, but replaced by a commander like Mr. Gao, unexpectedly exploded with amazing combat effectiveness. A temporarily formed coalition force, It is simply a miracle that they were able to eat up an entire field division of the Japanese army."

The chief of staff also said with emotion: "Mr. Gao is a man who works miracles. No matter where he goes, he can do amazing things that are unimaginable.

I will report the victory to the Military Commission. "

Although the commander of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army knew that the battle situation was unfavorable, he believed that the 42nd Division could hold out for at least ten days.He never imagined that in less than a day, the 42nd Division suffered a complete defeat and was forced to surrender to the enemy.

He said with emotion: "Gao Jiu is really like the legend, it is really a forbidden area of ​​the Huang Army, I really don't know how to defeat such a powerful enemy."

The commander of the Sixth Army was very depressed. The battle in Lan County lost a whole division of his.As a commander, he will also bear certain responsibilities for such a failure.Even if he will not be dismissed and investigated, he will definitely be unavoidable to be reprimanded by his superiors.

He sent a telegram to the 37th Division, asking them to strengthen their defenses against Gao Jiu. Once they were attacked by the coalition forces led by Gao Jiu, they would withdraw quickly. He didn't want to lose another division.

In the county town of Lanxian County, Gao Jiuda held a banquet, and the generals of the coalition army gathered together to celebrate this great victory.

Yang Zhenyuan, the commander of the 93rd Division of the Northeast Army, said excitedly: "Since the September [-]th Incident, the Northeast Army has fled all the way south. Over the years, it has suffered countless humiliations. Today, I finally won a big victory with Master Gao Jiu, and I feel proud. Very happy!
Master Jiu, on behalf of all officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, I would like to offer you a toast. "

The generals of the national army also toasted Gao Jiu one after another.They did not expect that such a great victory would be achieved, and their names would definitely appear in the newspapers in the rear area, and they would become anti-Japanese heroes admired by everyone ever since.The joy in their hearts made them all smile.

While everyone was happy, Gao Jiu made another icing on the cake.He announced that he would reward all the participating troops of the national army with 5 oceans. For the equipment captured by the Japanese army, each unit would keep a part as spoils for exhibition, and the rest would be given to Jiang Xiaomei's independent brigade.

The troops of the national army have their own supplementary system, and they are useless to those Japanese weapons.Not only that, they won the battle, and the Ninth War Zone also promised to replenish their weapons and ammunition, and also rewarded them with 5 French currency.

Therefore, everyone has no objection to such a loot distribution plan.

The battle is over, and it's time for everyone to break up.Gao Jiu was going to spend the night with Wang Jindong, Jiang Xiaomei and others in the town of Lan County, and returned to Audio-Technica tomorrow morning.

After the dinner, everyone went back to rest.Jiang Xiaomei came to Gao Jiu's room, made out with Gao Jiu for a while, and then reluctantly left his room.After all, she is from the underground party, so she should pay attention to the influence.

Gao Jiu is also very regretful that he can only maintain a very pure relationship with Jiang Xiaomei at present.

Early the next morning, Gao Jiu was about to leave when Li Fengming walked over with a telegram.He said: "Master Jiu, the headquarters of the Ninth War Zone has sent a telegram. I hope you will not disband the coalition forces for the time being, and help the Ninth War Zone fight another battle."

The telegram said: "Although the battle of Lanxian opened up the main traffic road between the rear and the south of Henan, this passage is relatively narrow and can be easily cut off by the Japanese army again. With the deepening of the disaster relief, the disaster relief committee purchased from the rear A large amount of supplies has to pass through this line of communication for a long time, and it is easy to be attacked by the Japanese army. According to the requirements of the Disaster Relief Committee, the Ninth War Zone hopes that Gao Jiu can help expand the line of communication."

The biggest threat to the line of communication is the Japanese army in the south of Kaifeng. Today, the 38th Division of the Japanese army is stationed there. Encouraged by them, they decided to launch the Battle of Kaifeng, take Kaifeng in one fell swoop, and then send heavy troops to station in Kaifeng to ensure the safety of the communication line between the rear and south.

In order to achieve the goal of this campaign, the Ninth War Zone will deploy the 45th Army and a division of the 44th Army from the Dabie Mountains to participate in this battle. Xue Dongsheng, the commander of the 21st Corps of the National Army, will be designated as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, and the command will be unified. The 45th Division of the 44th Army, the 116th Army, and the Allied Forces at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains.

After reading the telegram, Gao Jiu said, "I don't have anything to do here. Our Taohuashan guerrillas and troops from the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Route Army will not participate in this battle."

Li Fengming said depressingly: "Master Jiu should be in command of the battle to attack Kaifeng, why did you send Xue Dongsheng over? Master Jiu, wait a moment, I will send a telegram to the theater headquarters to ask, what is going on?"

Gao Jiu probably already understood that the internal state of the national army is very complicated, even in the central army system there are different factions.The reason why the battle to attack Kaifeng was arranged in this way was also caused by the internal struggle for power within the national army.

Gao Jiu lost interest in this, he said, "I won't wait any longer. I still have a lot of things to do." After speaking, he ignored Li Fengming's dissuasion, and left with Gao Hong, Chen Yuehan and others.

Gao Jiu and the others walked for more than ten miles, and saw a car and several trucks parked at the intersection ahead. The people standing in front of the car were Wang Jindong, Commander Song of the 69th Division, and Staff Officer Liu of the 187th Division. long.

Wang Jindong said dejectedly: "Brother Gao, the matter is already clear. Xue Dongsheng is the direct descendant of the commander in chief of the war zone. His 21st Corps has repeatedly fought and failed in battles with the Japanese army. This time, I saw the coalition forces annihilated the Japanese army. The 42nd Division, and the Japanese troops in Kaifeng area were not many, so he wanted to take advantage of it, so as to show his face in front of the disaster relief committee. Therefore, he volunteered to be the new commander of the coalition forces.

This Xue Dongsheng is a big idiot, if he is asked to command this battle, the final result will definitely fail.We also don't want to fight this battle. I have already told my father-in-law that our 187th Division will not participate in this battle.But after all, we are a unit of the Ninth Theater, and the 69th Division still has to participate in this battle.In order to keep our 69th Division, brother, you have an idea. "

After thinking for a while, Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Song, if the coalition forces want to encircle the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, they will definitely divide their forces to encircle Kaifeng. At that time, you will ask to go to Zhumadian. At that time, your backs will be in Nanyang. In case the battle does not go well, Return to our Iron Triangle."

Master Song said, "I understand."

Gao Jiu left Du Shengxi to lead an anti-aircraft artillery detachment and a flying mine artillery detachment, and stayed in the 69th Division under the command of Commander Song.Gao Jiu, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others led the independent brigade of the Eighth Route Army back to Southwest Shandong.

After Gao Jiu left, Li Fengming quickly reported the information to the Ninth Theater Command.He understood the complicated situation in the ninth war zone, and he didn't say much, just reported Gao Jiu's departure from the coalition forces.

Deputy Commander Zhang received Li Fengming's telegram and was very depressed, but since this matter involved the Commander-in-Chief, he couldn't say anything.The chief of staff said in a low voice: "Let's report this matter to the commander in chief."

Deputy Zhang understood what he meant, and he also knew that sending Xue Dongsheng to fight this battle had little chance of winning.He is unwilling to take responsibility for the failure. It is best to report this matter to the commander in chief and let him make a decision.

Deputy Commander Zhang and the Deputy Chief of Staff were unwilling to report the incident by themselves. They asked the deputy director of the Operation Department of the Ninth Theater to send Li Fengming's telegram directly to the commander of the Ninth Theater.

The Commander of the Ninth War Zone was a little unhappy when he heard that Gao Jiu had left the coalition forces, and felt that Gao Jiu had lost face.He also felt a little uneasy, so he called Xue Dongsheng, commander of the 21st Corps.

When Xue Dongsheng heard that Gao Jiu had left the coalition army, he was secretly happy, because if Gao Jiu stayed here, even if he won this battle, he would not be able to show his prestige.

The reason why he asked Ying to command this battle was because it was a group of mobs who wiped out the 42nd Division of the Japanese Army this time.The next target they will attack is the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, and the troops of the coalition forces will participate in the battle, so they should be very sure.Not only that, this battle also added a division of the 45th Army and the 44th Army. These 4 divisions are the reorganized divisions of the Central Army. He did not believe that so many troops could not defeat the 38th Division of the Japanese Army.

Xue Dongsheng called the commander-in-chief and vowed that he would be able to annihilate the 38th Division of the Japanese Army and take Kaifeng City.In addition, the dignified troops of the Ninth Theater can win the battle without the bandit Gao Jiu.

Since the opening of the traffic line was requested by the Disaster Relief Committee, everyone knew who was in charge of the Disaster Relief Committee.In order to leave a good impression on the Disaster Relief Committee, the commander of the Ninth Theater also hopes to rely on the strength of the Ninth Theater to fight a beautiful battle alone.So he agreed to Xue Dongsheng's request and continued to serve as the commander of the Kaifeng campaign.

Xue Dongsheng came to Lan County, and immediately convened a meeting of senior military officers to announce the establishment of a new general headquarters, with him as the general commander, the chief of staff of the 21st Corps as the chief of staff, and Li Fengming as the deputy chief of staff.

所属部队有第45军一个军、第44军一个师、第103师、第69师、第228师、第93师、第九战区警卫团、编练司令部五个补充团、第21兵团警卫团、第21兵团直属炮兵团，总兵力为117000人。

Xue Dongsheng looked at the star-studded meeting place, full of ambition, thinking that Gao Jiu and others originally had only more than 42 people, and they faced the 37nd Division and the 42th Division of the Japanese Army at the same time, and they still ate the 38nd Division of the Japanese Army .Now his strength has almost doubled, facing only the [-]th Division of the Japanese army, he believes that there is no suspense in winning this battle.
