The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 641 Survival in the struggle
Through contact with Gao Jiu, Liu Zhanying admires Gao Jiu very much and regards him as a good friend. He sincerely hopes to help Gao Jiu.

He said sincerely: "Mr. Gao, I will definitely respond to your request to my superiors. But I am not sure. How do you think I should tell my superiors?"

After thinking about it, Gao Jiu said: "This matter is also very simple, I think you just said that..." After all, Liu Zhanying is in a key department of the national army, and he knows the situation of Shangfeng quite well.He thought Gao Jiu was right, so he drafted a telegram and sent it to Shangfeng.

He said in the telegram: "I have no objection to withdrawing all the expeditionary forces to the country, and I resolutely obey the orders of Shangfeng.

However, it was originally promised to leave two divisions to assist Mr. Gao in dealing with the affairs of the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle. Now that we have left like this, Mr. Gao is a little dissatisfied, thinking that we are suspected of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

In order to rescue the Yuanzheng army, Mr. Gao personally ventured into Savage Mountain, saved the lives of countless Yuanzheng soldiers, and provided a large amount of supplies for the Yuanzheng army. Unreasonable.

Around the Golden Triangle area, anti-Japanese armed forces from various countries are active. They hope that the Yuanzheng Army can stay in this area to resist Japan. The British Governor in Burma has clearly made such a request.

The withdrawal of all the Chinese Yuanzheng troops to the country seems to have somewhat hampered the reputation of the national army and has some adverse political effects.

Therefore, I suggest that the 38th and 30th Divisions be left behind and continue to be stationed on the Thai-Myanmar border in the name of the Yuanzheng Army.This proves that the Yuanzheng Army is still operating in Southeast Asia, which is of great significance in political propaganda.At the same time, it also eliminated Mr. Gao's dissatisfaction with the withdrawal of Yuanzheng troops.

The above are just suggestions from humble staff, whether to adopt it or not depends entirely on Shangfeng's decision.

The temporary commander of the Yuanzheng Army.Liu Zhanying"

In this telegram, Liu Zhanying focused on foreigners' requirements for the Yuanzheng Army to stay in Southeast Asia.
The government is very concerned about the attitude of foreigners, especially the attitude of a powerful country like Britain, and also cares about its own political influence.Shangfeng thought Liu Zhanying was right.

Of course, Liu Zhanying also expressed Gao Jiu's attitude.Gao Jiu has made countless major contributions to the government, and the government will also give Gao Jiu face.So they decided to seriously discuss Liu Zhanying's opinion.

Not long after Liu Zhanying's telegram was sent, the British Governor in Burma also sent a telegram.They asked the Yuanzheng army to stay part of it to cooperate with the British army in fighting in Burma.At the same time, Gao Jiu also sent a telegram, saying that the supply of materials in the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle is currently difficult. From now on, he will no longer be responsible for the supplies and medical services of the Yuanzheng Army.If the Yuan Zheng army withdraws, he will no longer provide help.

The telegram sent by the British Governor in Myanmar was instructed by Gao Jiu, who used the British to put pressure on the government.The telegram Gao Jiu himself sent to the government was a blatant threat.Because he understands that when dealing with the government, he can't just be a good person, he must seek unity in the struggle.Recently, the government has taken advantage of him too much. Gao Jiu must show them some color, so that they can take Gao Jiu's opinion seriously.The pressure from the British and Gao Jiu prompted the government to make up its mind.

They agreed with Liu Zhanying's opinion and decided to keep the 38th Division and the 30th Division on the Thai-Myanmar border and continue to operate in the name of Yuanzheng Army.

They sent a telegram to Liu Zhanying, asking Liu Zhanying to negotiate with Gao Jiu about the stationing of the two divisions on the Thai-Myanmar border.

After discussing with Gao Jiu, Liu Zhanying sent a telegram to Shangfeng. The telegram said that the 38th Division and the 30th Division formed a new Yuanzheng Army. .

In order to facilitate communication with the troops of these two divisions, Liu Zhanying bravely stayed in the Yuanzheng Army since Gao Jiu, and was responsible for communication and coordination with Gao Jiu.

After discussion, Shangfeng agreed with Liu Zhanying's opinion. They decided to form a new expeditionary army from the 38th Division and the 30th Division. The deputy commander of the army, Liu Zhanying, served as the chief of staff of the Yuanzheng Army, and the Yuanzheng Army continued to operate along the Thai-Myanmar border.

In addition to accepting the leadership of the upper echelons of the national army, the Yuanzheng Army also accepts Gao Jiu's guidance in local activities.

After the order was issued, Liao Tong, the commander of the 38th Division, and others were very happy.After all, the Yuan Zheng Army had failed before. They didn't want to just go back to China, and hoped to continue to stay in Southeast Asia to make contributions.They are even more satisfied with the establishment of a new expeditionary force and the promotion of their own official positions.

The reason why Liu Zhanying is willing to stay in the expeditionary army is that although he is still a major general and his position has not been promoted, he is only a small staff officer with a position but no authority in the staff headquarters after all, but now he has become a member of the expeditionary army with positions and authority Chief of Staff, he believed that the Yuanzheng Army would be able to make great achievements with the help of Gao Jiu. If he stayed in the expeditionary army, he would have a glorious resume, which would be of great benefit to his future promotion.

Gao Jiu was also very satisfied. The retention of the two divisions of the Yuanzheng Army would be of great benefit to the Golden Triangle region.

Gao Jiu's mood improved, and he became even more enthusiastic about the withdrawal of the Yuanzheng Army.

The evacuation of tens of thousands of Yuanzheng troops was not an easy task.They have a large number of wounded and a considerable amount of heavy equipment. There are many difficulties in returning to China through the Golden Triangle, especially the complex terrain in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu suggested that the Yuanzheng Army build a temporary airport in Chiang Mai and organize troops to build a simple road leading to the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle to facilitate the withdrawal of the main force of the Yuanzheng Army.This is beneficial to both parties. It not only facilitates the withdrawal of the Yuanzheng Army, but also facilitates the future activities of the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army and other troops left behind.

In order to take care of the large number of wounded in the Yuan Zheng Army, Gao Jiu dispatched a large number of medical personnel to set up a temporary field hospital in Chiang Mai.

Shangfeng is very satisfied with Gao Jiu's actions, and the two sides cooperate very well.

Gao Jiu was very enthusiastic, and stayed in Chiang Mai for more than a month, and finally assisted the main force of the Yuan Zheng Army to withdraw to the country.

It was already mid-January 1943. Gao Jiu left Guo Hengming to assist the Yuanzheng Army in sweeping up various local armed forces in the southern area of ​​the Golden Triangle, and Liang Baoguo, the Minister of Construction of the Golden Triangle Administrative Committee, was left to guide the troops of the expeditionary army. Carry out road construction.He, Wang Zhankui and others left Chiang Mai City and returned to Ma Wan Town, which is now called Ma Wan Town.

After returning to Mawan City, Gao Jiu went to inspect the arsenal after listening to the report of the Golden Triangle Northern District Administrative Committee.

Today, the arsenal in the northern part of the Golden Triangle is the largest arsenal in Southeast Asia. The ordinary guns and ammunition produced are more than enough to supply the anti-Japanese armed forces in the entire Southeast Asia. The surplus can also be sold to the King of Yunnan and other parties who come to buy weapons and ammunition. power.

The arsenal also produces a large amount of advanced equipment, and even the US and British military have placed many orders.During the period when Gao Jiu left, many of the arms companies that had signed agreements with Gao Jiu in the US military delegation that came last time had already arrived in the Golden Triangle area to start surveying the site and going through relevant procedures.

On the part of the United States, in order to strengthen unified management, a liaison team was sent in the name of the Ministry of Military Industry of the United States.Gao Jiu felt a little headache when he saw this contact group, because the American girl Mary was a member of this contact group, and it seemed that she was going to take root in the Golden Triangle area for a long time.

The American girl is very enthusiastic. When she saw Gao Jiu, her pair of beautiful blue eyes cast a burning gaze on Gao Jiu.Gao Jiu couldn't stand the enthusiasm of foreign girls.In Gao Jiu's heart, he still felt that it would be better for girls to be more graceful and quiet.

Now beside Gao Jiu, there is also a persistent Long Guobi, plus this American girl, Gao Jiu feels a little overwhelmed.Gao Jiu and the women in the past came to where they are today because of their special and common experiences.

He has already started to feel a headache now, and he doesn't want to involve more energy in this regard.Now he stays in the administrative committee, and he can see Long Guobi and American Ocean Girl Mary every day, and he finds it a bit annoying.He pondered to see if there was something that required him to leave here temporarily, go out to hide, and avoid entanglement with them.

It's strange to say that recently, the Japanese devils have not come to find trouble, and the various anti-Japanese troops have no major issues that need Gao Jiu's help to deal with, so Gao Jiu spends most of his time in the arsenal.

Long Guobi and Mary could always find a reason to stay by Gao Jiu's side. Gao Jiu was having a headache, and Jiang Xiaomei suddenly sent a telegram.

Jiang Xiaomei said in the telegram that she is no longer the brigade commander of the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Military Division, and her superiors appointed her as the Minister of the Military Industry Department of the Shandong Underground Party, and she will set up the arsenal in Shandong.

It turned out that the Southwest Military Division of Shandong was one of the Iron Triangle founded by Gao Jiu, and the Japanese didn't dare to make trouble at all.Therefore, the independent brigade basically has no combat missions, and Jiang Xiaomei basically has nothing to do.With the continuous advancement of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Shandong underground party's troops have expanded a lot. They urgently need a large number of weapons and ammunition. With so many troops, they can't meet their needs at all if they rely entirely on capture.So they hope to build their own arsenal.

To build an arsenal, the Shandong underground party had no foundation, so they thought of Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu could provide help.The best candidate to contact Gao Jiu is Jiang Xiaomei.Therefore, the Shandong Underground Party made a decision after research, and after seeking Jiang Xiaomei's opinion, appointed her as the Minister of the Military Industry Department of the Shandong Military Region.

Jiang Xiaomei was originally a brigade-level cadre, but now she has been promoted to a full-time teacher-level cadre.Although there are many young cadres in the underground party, it is very special for a lesbian in her 20s to become a teacher-level cadre like Jiang Xiaomei.

Jiang Xiaomei knew that she would be in close contact with Gao Jiu in the future, and she was very excited about this appointment.On the day of accepting the appointment, a telegram was sent to Gao Jiu immediately.

In the recent period, Gao Jiu has had more contact with the government. In comparison, he has given less help to the underground party.Gao Jiu is very happy to help the underground party establish a military enterprise.Now is the time when the underground party is in difficulty, and he should try his best to find a way to lend a helping hand, so as to pave the way for the future approval of the underground party.

Gao Jiu immediately sent a telegram back to Jiang Xiaomei, saying that it was his duty to help the underground party build an arsenal.

Jiang Xiaomei reported Gao Jiu's words to her superiors, who were very happy.They think that Gao Jiu is a true friend of the underground party. Over the years, Gao Jiu's help to the underground party is obvious to all. They express that they will cherish this friendship with Gao Jiu forever.

Now Gao Jiu found an excuse to leave the administrative committee. He decided to go to Shandong to meet with Jiang Xiaomei and guide them to build an arsenal.

As the War of Resistance Against Japan drew to a close, the contradictions between GG and GG gradually began to emerge.Gao Jiu helped the underground party build an arsenal, which was inconvenient to do publicly.

So he decided to go to Shandong secretly. Before leaving, Gao Jiu found an excuse to go to Chiang Mai City where the 38th Division of the National Army is located, and then secretly mobilized a group of military technical personnel and some military equipment, and airlifted them to Qing The temporary airport in Maicheng, and then secretly flew to Kunming from there, and then flew to Shandong. When passing through Chongqing, Gao Jiu didn't get off the plane, but just told the airport that they were going to Taohuashan to deliver supplies, so there was no problem with the government. attention.

At present, the most secure and stable place for the Shandong underground party is the area controlled by the Southwest Military Division of Shandong. Therefore, the Shandong underground party decided to build the arsenal in the Zhiyuan County area. There is also a huge advantage in this area, that is, it can Relying on the Nanyang area and the areas controlled by the Southwest Military Division of Shandong, it has a relatively good industrial base to facilitate the construction of arsenals and the supply of various raw materials.

Gao Jiu came to Nanyang first. He disguised himself and entered the city secretly, and quietly met with Wang Jindong and others.Because the establishment of an arsenal in Southwest Shandong requires strong support from Nanyang, he must communicate with the senior generals of the 41st Army in advance.

Wang Jindong and others were very happy to see Gao Jiu, and entertained Gao Jiu in a small area.At the banquet, Gao Jiu explained his reason for coming.Commander Wang, Wang Jindong and others expressed their understanding and promised to help the arsenal built in the Southwest Military Division of Shandong, and at the same time kept it secret for him. Zhou Mingshan also participated in the banquet.This matter is a major piece of information for the military command, Zhou Mingshan decided not to report it to the military command headquarters, and kept it secret for Gao Jiu.

After completing the work of the senior generals of the 41st Army and Zhou Mingshan, Gao Jiu continued to fly to Southwest Shandong.

Not long after, Gao Jiu led a large number of military technicians and landed at the airstrip in Zhiyuan County.
