The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 617

Commander Yang was still a little embarrassed, and looked at the fifth lady.

The fifth lady said reproachfully: "Master! Didn't Brother Gao say that he is your own brother, so you're welcome. Why are you so coy, old man? Let me tell you."

The Fifth Madam looked at Gao Jiu with a smile, and said, "Master Jiu, the thing is like this..."

It turned out that Commander Yang is now the commander of the 20th Corps and concurrently serves as the chairman of Sichuan Province.It is said that being the chairman of Sichuan Province and managing the local area should be more economically affluent, but the opposite is true.

The original supplies of the Sichuan army were not as good as the Central Army. Now that they have returned to Sichuan, Commander Yang can still get a supplement from the local area in the original Guangyuan and other sites. However, after he served as the chairman of Sichuan Province, instead You can no longer collect taxes from the territory you originally controlled.

Sichuan's tax revenue is directly controlled by the central government, and the financial expenditure of Sichuan Province is also allocated by the central government.He, the chairman of Sichuan Province, is actually a hard worker who only works and doesn't get paid.The military pay and supplies of the 20th Corps were not as good as before.

Gao Jiuxin said: "It's no wonder that Commander Yang was appointed chairman of Sichuan Province at the summit. It's because Commander Yang is now the strongest in the Sichuan Army. Controlling him is equivalent to controlling the entire Sichuan Army. He has to admire the great man The means of controlling people.

Fifth Madam went on to say: "My lord and their 20th Corps are really poor. I want Master Jiu to find a way to make money."

Speaking of this, Commander Yang interrupted and said: "Brother Gao, we are not asking you for money, but wanting your help. I heard that you are a master in business. Brother, you have made a fortune. Let's also support us Sichuan army brothers who are suffering. .”

"Yes, yes, Brother Gao, if you eat meat, let the brothers also drink some soup."

The deputy commander and chief of staff of the 20th Corps were all old subordinates of Commander Yang, and they were also very familiar with Gao Jiu, so they followed suit.

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "That's it, why didn't you tell me earlier, why are you putting on such a big show, let Wu sister-in-law tell me, or it's over."

Hearing that Gao Jiu agreed, everyone was very happy.Commander Yang smiled and said, "We all miss you, brother, but we just want to play with you."

With that said, Commander Yang and the generals raised their wine glasses together and toasted Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu drank the wine in the glass, put down the glass, and said: "I have a lot of business in the Golden Triangle now, and you can use part of the money to invest in the shares. I have a lot of projects there. When I go back this time, you can send someone Follow along, choose, and see which projects to invest in.”

Commander Yang said, "What are you looking at? We all believe in Brother Gao. We will invest in whatever you ask us to invest in."

"That's right. We all believe in Brother Gao." The generals said together.

Speaking of this, Commander Yang said with some embarrassment: "Brother Gao, we don't have much money in our hands now, but I still have a lot of houses and fields in my hometown. I will sell them and give you the money."

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "It's okay, you guys go to raise money. When we raise money, we will sign an agreement. Don't worry, if you invest your money, I will guarantee that you will not lose money."

Gao Jiu said this very confidently. The advanced science and technology in his hands are equivalent to black technology in this era.He knows the course of history and which projects can make a lot of money, and he is absolutely guaranteed to make money.

The Fifth Madam smiled and said, "Master, you brothers in the 20th Corps are really blessed. To have such a good friend as Brother Gao is really an honor for our ancestors."

Mrs. Fifth said this a bit loudly, and Gao Jiu felt a little embarrassed.However, Commander Yang and the others don't think so. Since getting to know Gao Jiu, their life has become much easier. They like Gao Jiu from the bottom of their hearts.

The banquet continued, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The deputy commander of the 20th Corps raised his glass and said, "Brother Gao, I heard that your wife was bombed by a devil plane. Fortunately, God knows, the mother and child are safe. However, the devil is so arrogant, do you need to teach them a lesson? What? If you have this idea, we will help you do it, and if you want people, you need guns and guns."

Gao Jiu remembered that the Fifth Madam said not long ago that Commander Yang and the others wanted to invite Gao Jiu to fight against the Japanese.It seems that today's banquet has another purpose.

Gao Jiu's guess was right. Commander Yang and others invited Gao Jiu to a banquet. They wanted Gao Jiu to help raise money. Another important purpose was to let Gao Jiu help fight the war.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, countries such as Britain and the United States increased their assistance to the government in order to contain the Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield. many.They not only withstood the Japanese attack on Sichuan, but also launched a counterattack on some battlefields.

Not long ago, the 9th Corps, the 12th Corps, and the 20th Corps led by Commander Yang and others all received orders to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.Both the 9th Corps and the 12th Corps were well-equipped units of the Central Army, supplemented by American equipment, and both captured a county town occupied by the Japanese army.Not to be outdone, the 20th Corps also went to attack a county town of the Japanese army. Although the soldiers fought bravely, they failed to defeat them due to their backward equipment. Instead, they sacrificed a lot of Sichuan soldiers in vain.

The Military Commission doesn't care so much. They criticize the 20th Corps for being unfavorable in combat and ask them to learn from the 9th Corps and the 12th Corps to complete the campaign goals set by the Military Commission.

The generals of the 20th Corps felt the pressure.Hearing that Gao Jiu came to Chongqing, he wanted Gao Jiu to help them win the battle.

After the deputy commander finished speaking, the chief of staff continued: "Brother Gao, we are going to attack a county in Yichang that is occupied by the Japanese. Brother, why don't you follow us to kill the devils, and let your brothers and sisters out."

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Okay! Brother, I drink and eat meat every day in Chongqing. I have nothing to do. I really want to do some activities. When you return to Yichang, I will go with you."

"Oh, this is really great." The generals of the 20th Corps were very excited and toasted Gao Jiu one after another.

The banquet lasted until after 10 o'clock in the evening. Gao Jiu returned to the villa smelling of alcohol. He felt that his body smelled bad, so he didn't go to visit Ouyang Xue directly.He came to the infirmary and asked the doctor and nurse about the situation of Ouyang Xue's mother and child.

A nurse said: "I just came back from there. Mrs. Ouyang looked very good and fell asleep just now."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "Thank you all."

Gao Jiu came to Ouyang Xue's room, gently pushed the door open a gap, and saw Ouyang Xue sleeping there.He stared at it with relief for a moment, then quietly closed the door and left.

Seeing Gao Jiu's actions, the doctors and nurses were a little moved.A female doctor said enviously, "Mr. Gao is really considerate to his wife!"

Early the next morning, the alcohol smell on Gao Jiu's body had dissipated, so he came to have breakfast with Ouyang Xue.

He asked about Ouyang Xue's sleeping situation and her mood changes with concern, and seeing that Ouyang Xue was in good condition in all aspects, he said apologetically: "Ruoxue, I'm going to leave for a while recently, and go to Yichang for a walk. "

Now Gao Jiu is basically by Ouyang Xue's side every day, and Ouyang Xue is used to this kind of life.Hearing that he was leaving Chongqing, I was somewhat reluctant.However, she was an extremely smart and wise woman, and she did not ask Gao Jiu to stay by her side, but only asked him to take care of herself with concern, saying that she and her unborn child were waiting for his safe return.

Gao Jiu was very satisfied with Ouyang Xue's generosity and understanding, and was even more in love with Ouyang Xue. He gently took Ouyang Xue into his arms, and after being tender with her for a while, he said goodbye and left.

He came to the infirmary and asked the doctors and nurses to take good care of Ouyang Xue, saying that as long as their mother and child were safe, he would give each of them a big red envelope when he came back.

The doctors and nurses were very happy. They knew that Gao Jiu was generous, and they were full of expectations.

Looking at Gao Jiu's disappearing back, the nurse Xiao Li said: "I really envy Mrs. Ouyang, I wonder if I can find a boyfriend like Master Jiu."

Nurse Xiao Zhang was also envious, but she jokingly said, "I think you are dreaming! There are not many men like Master Jiu in the world, so I'm afraid it won't be your turn."

Nurse Xiao Li said dissatisfied: "I think about it, can't I?"

Nurse Xiao Zhang said: "Actually, I also want such a boyfriend. If my future boyfriend is half of Master Jiu, I will be satisfied."

What she said caught the nurse Xiao Li, and she said: "You are dreaming, Master Jiu is so amazing! There are not many people in the world who are half as good as him, and it's not your fault. Hee hee!"

"Okay, how dare you curse me!" Nurse Xiao Zhang said while reaching out to pinch nurse Xiao Li, Xiao Li dodged, and the two of them laughed.

Commander Yang is now concurrently serving as the chairman of Sichuan Province, so he can't go to Yichang. He and the fifth wife sent Gao Jiu and others out of the city. How to conduct the battle, you all listen to Brother Gao."

Both the deputy commander and the chief of staff stated that they resolutely obeyed Gao Jiu's command.

Generals, this is not being polite. Gao Jiu is the invincible God of War. He has commanded large corps in many battles and won brilliant victories every time.Under Gao Jiu's command, they will surely be able to win a beautiful battle.

Gao Jiu and the others bid farewell to Commander Yang and the Fifth Madam, and were about to get in the car to leave when they heard a car horn, and then two cars came out from the city, and the cars drove over quickly and stopped in front of Gao Jiu.

Those who came were Deputy Commander Zhang of the Ninth War Zone, and Li Fengming, Chief of Operations.They heard that Gao Jiu was going to Yichang to help the 20th Corps launch an offensive campaign, and they rushed over.

Deputy Commander Zhang said: "Mr. Gao, Yichang is an important gateway to Chongqing. The Ninth War Zone has received an order from the Military Commission. I hope that with your help, we can make significant progress in the direction of Yichang. We will go to Yichang with you to discuss A specific battle plan. According to the situation of the plan, the Ninth War Zone will mobilize other troops to launch a large-scale offensive campaign against the Japanese army together."

Gao Jiu originally planned to help the 20th Corps take down a county town of the Japanese army, but he didn't have much interest in such small fights.Hearing what Deputy Commander Zhang said, aroused his interest.He said: "Okay! Let's teach the Japanese devils a good lesson this time."

Yichang, War Room of the 20th Corps.

Chief of Operations Li Fengming first introduced the situation of both the enemy and us in the entire Ninth Theater with Chongqing as the center.

Chief of Staff of the 20th Corps, Hu, introduced the situation of the 20th Corps facing both the enemy and ourselves.

第20兵团面对的日军，是华中派遣军第11军第3师团、第6师团和第11师团组成的进攻兵团。其中第11师团接受第3师团的指挥，作战时可以得到日军第六航空队的空中支援。

Here, the chief of staff did not mention the situation of the Japanese navy.Because Gao Jiu destroyed many warships of the Japanese Jiangfang Fleet last time, since that time, the naval ships have never come to Yichang again.

我方的兵力，主要是第20兵团两个军5个步兵师，第20兵团的右翼是是21兵团薛东升指挥的3个军11个师。

After the battle launched in the southern direction, Gao Jiu was not very interested in Xue Dongsheng.He asked: "Mr. Zhang, what is the scale of this battle? Will the 21st Corps also participate?"

Deputy Commander Zhang nodded and said: "According to the instructions of the Military Commission, the Ninth War Zone plans to use the strength of two corps to launch a large-scale offensive campaign. I hope to wipe out part of the Japanese army and drive the Japanese army to the northeast of Xinqiang River. "

Gao Jiu stared at the terrain sand table in the combat area, and didn't speak for a while.

To be honest, the troops of the 20th Corps trusted Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu commanded it very freely. He was [-]% sure of winning the battle.

However, the interior of the national army is very complicated. He cannot command the troops of Xue Dongsheng of the 21st Corps.He was worried that when the battle reached a critical moment, he might be betrayed by Xue Dongsheng.If the battle is not won, Gao Jiu's reputation will be affected.

After realizing this point, Gao Jiu backed down, he didn't want to participate in this battle anymore.He said: "Mr. Zhang, I have never participated in such a big battle before, so I can't offer any constructive suggestions. I originally came here to do a small favor to my friends and fight a small battle. The Ninth Theater is doing such a thing. If you make a big move, I can't help you much. I still have something to do in Yunnan, please forgive me and leave.

The reason why the Ninth War Zone planned to launch a big offensive was mainly because Gao Jiu was here. Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard that he was going to run away.
