The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 664 Li Qianhong's Feelings
After the Battle of Yangon, the 36th Division of the Yuanzheng Army has returned to Chiang Mai on the Thai-Myanmar border.

Accompanied by Wang Zhanying, Gao Jiu and others took a plane to Chiang Mai Airport and were greeted by Liao Tong, commander of the Yuanzheng Army and commander of the 36th Division.

At the reception banquet, Liao Tong said: "Jiu Ye, you have so many powerful special forces under your command, just send your men to do things like this kind of hostage rescue, do you want to go in person?"

Liao Tong is right. Gao Jiu has a big family and a great career now, and some of his subordinates are arrogant soldiers. Whether it is Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, or Li Chengwu, any one of them will lead the commando to rescue the hostages. They can complete the task, Gao Jiu can completely trust them, Gao Jiu really shouldn't risk himself and do it by himself.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I've never been to the Philippines, and I happened to take my wife on honeymoon."

Lin Yanni, who was sitting next to him, heard Gao Jiu say this, her face flushed with embarrassment, she stretched out her hand and lightly twisted Gao Jiu's back, and said angrily, "What nonsense?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw her appearance.

Gao Jiu went on to say: "We must rescue this group of Americans, and we must not let the Americans see our Chinese jokes."

This time, the reason why Gao Jiu went to the Philippines in person was that this was his first international rescue mission. The success or failure of the rescue operation was not only related to the reputation of the Taohuashan guerrillas, but also related to the face of the Chinese people. , no failure allowed.

On the other hand, Gao Jiu always felt that the task this time was not so simple.The American Marine Corps is very powerful. They failed to rescue the hostages, which proves that the rescue of the hostages is extremely difficult and the matter is extremely complicated.

Gao Jiu was really worried that his subordinates would not be able to see the essence of things, and would not be able to complete the task due to negligence, and might even suffer heavy losses.

Under such circumstances, Gao Jiu was unwilling to let his subordinates take risks.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but respect Gao Jiu.

Liao Tong said: "Master Jiu is right, we should win glory for the Chinese. Master Jiu is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and wins glory for the country. Brothers admire you! Let me offer you a toast, and do it first."

After speaking, Liao Tong raised his wine glass, touched Gao Jiu, and drank it down.

Everyone also toasted to Gao Jiu one after another.

According to the plan, Gao Jiu and the others rested for another night and entered Thailand early tomorrow morning.

The night was dark.Lin Yanni, who lives next door to Gao Jiu, tossed and turned, unable to sleep.She knew that for a period of time in the future, she and Gao Jiu would live with many people every day, and it would be difficult to spend time alone with Gao Jiu.

This mission is very dangerous, although she knows that Gao Jiu is bold and careful, and should be able to complete this mission.But in the Philippines, they are not familiar with the place after all, and no one can tell what kind of difficulties they will face now.

Lin Yanni was a woman after all, so she was inevitably worried about Gao Jiu.She walked with Gao Jiu this time, and she had a strong feeling.She is not afraid of being in danger, and hopes that she can fight side by side with Gao Jiu.If Gao Jiu was really in danger, she would rather die with Gao Jiu, which would be a great happiness for her.

The more Lin Yanni thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. She cherished the opportunity to be by Gao Jiu's side, and really wanted to go to Gao Jiu's room tonight, even if she just sat quietly beside him and accompanied him silently, it would be a great feeling. Happiness.

However, all the members of the special operations team lived in this courtyard, and there was a guard post in the courtyard. If Lin Yanni went to Gao Jiu's room, she would definitely be seen by the special operations team members on guard.After all, she is a woman, a little shy, unable to make up her mind.

She thought for a long time and forced herself to fall asleep, but her desire to see Gao Jiu became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.Finally Lin Yanni made up her mind, got dressed, opened the door, and walked to Gao Jiu's room.

There were several special forces members standing guard in the yard, and Ning Wen was in charge of the squad.When he heard the sound of Lin Yanni's door, he looked over.

Seeing Lin Yanni coming out, Ning Wen couldn't help but smiled, pretending not to see her, and walked towards the gate of the yard, leaving room for Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu had already fallen asleep, but he was a light sleeper, and a light knock on the door startled him.

Gao Jiu trusted the special forces under him very much, knowing that the people who came outside must be his own, so Gao Jiu asked softly, "Who is it? What's the matter?"

Lin Yanni's soft voice came from outside: "Ninth Brother, it's me."

Lin Yanni is Gao Jiu's woman, and Gao Jiu usually does not shy away from the special forces members.The reason why they slept in separate rooms this time was because he was going to lead the special forces to perform extremely difficult and dangerous missions. In this case, he still had to avoid it.

Gao Jiu smiled slightly, and said softly, "The door is open, come in."

Lin Yanni pushed open the door and walked in.

The special forces members standing guard around smiled knowingly, and continued to watch the surrounding movement vigilantly.

The night is soft and the moonlight is like water.There were whispers in Gao Jiu's room, everything was so beautiful.

Early the next morning, a young Thai military officer came to Gao Jiu's residence.His name is Mengchai, he is from Thailand, he has a small round face, he is not tall, and he is smart and capable.

He was sent by the Thai Anti-Japanese Army to lead the way for Gao Jiu and others, and guide them through Thailand.

Gao Jiu warmly entertained him, then gathered all the special forces team members, asked Mengchai to face the map, and introduced to everyone the basic situation along the route in Thailand they were about to pass through.

9:30 am.With the welcome of Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others, Gao Jiu led the special forces into Thailand.

Mengchai was a very good guide. After entering Thailand, he led Gao Jiu and others to avoid towns as much as possible and take mountain paths.

Most of the time, they marched during the day and basically encountered no obstacles.After four days of marching, Gao Jiu and others successfully arrived at a small mountain village named Ameng at the junction of Thailand and Vietnam.
Here Gao Jiu met his old friend Li Qianhong.

Today's Li Qianhong is no longer the captain of the guerrilla team with only one hundred and ten people. He is now the head of the independent division of the Vietnam underground party.

Hearing that Gao Jiu and others were going to cross Vietnam and head to the Mekong River, he personally led a reinforcement company to meet Gao Jiu and others here.

Along with Li Qianhong, Paulos, the adjutant of Luca, the commander of the First Free French Division, was also ordered to cooperate with Gao Jiu and others to transit Vietnam.

When old friends meet, they are very affectionate.After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qianhong said: "Mr. Gao, if you want to cross Vietnam to the Mekong River, it is very easy. This section is our guerrilla zone, basically within our control. It is only in Yanping Town by the Mekong River. There is a stronghold of the Japanese army, a detachment of the Japanese river defense garrison, and more than a dozen Japanese gunboats, with a total of about 400 Japanese troops stationed there.

You have to take a boat down the Mekong River. On the way, you will encounter Japanese troops, Vietnamese puppet troops, and French puppet troops. There are at least seven checkpoints.There are still many Japanese patrols on the river. This road is too dangerous to work at all.

I suggest you go by land. I can personally lead the way for you. You should be able to avoid the areas controlled by the Japanese army and reach the seaside. "

To be honest, if he could choose, Gao Jiu would rather go by land.There is a lot of room to maneuver on land, and Gao Jiu is very confident that even if he is surrounded by the Japanese army, he can break through.

But it was different on the water. The space above the water was too small. If Gao Jiu encountered the enemy, Gao Jiu might be able to retreat unscathed, but Lin Yanni and the special forces members might encounter accidents.

Gao Jiu has no choice now. Just yesterday, the Americans sent a telegram saying that their submarine had set off ahead of schedule to avoid the Japanese fleet, and asked Gao Jiu to get to the seaside as soon as possible.

Gao Jiu shook his head and said: "The time I agreed with the Americans is March 3, and now there are only five days left, and it's too late to go by land. My opinion is to go by water. Let's discuss it. Let's see if there is any good solution."

Li Qianhong said: "We do have a water guerrilla team, but there are only a few small boats, so many people, and so many weapons, they cannot pass the inspection of the Japanese army."

Gao Jiu asked: "Is there any businessman who has a good relationship with the Japanese army and accompanied us through the checkpoint of the Japanese puppet army?"

Li Qianhong shook his head and said: "In our jurisdiction, there are a few patriotic businessmen who have some connections with the Japanese and puppet troops. If you are just one or two of you, you can think of a way. But with so many people, no one dares to Send you there."

Gao Jiu asked, "Pauls, what is your relationship with those French people in Saigon now?"

Pauls said: "We have maintained close contact in the past, and we have business dealings in railroads and other material exchanges.

After the Japanese came, those Frenchmen formed an alliance with the Japanese, their number was small, and the Japanese dominated, so it can be said that they were under the control of the Japanese, so there is basically no communication between us now. "

Gao Jiu is quite familiar with the people in the former French Governor-General's Palace, and he considered from the very beginning to cross the Mekong River with the help of the French.

Hearing what Paulus said, Gao Jiu also felt unsure and began to think.

After all, Lin Yanni was an intelligence officer. Seeing Gao Jiu was in trouble, she suggested: "Brother Jiu, everyone in your special forces team can speak Japanese. Why don't you disguise yourself as a Japanese, so you can pass?"

Ning Wen felt that it was inappropriate, he could not directly oppose Lin Yanni's opinion, he thought about it, and said: "Director Lin's opinion is very good, I think it is a solution, but it must be thoughtful. First of all, it must be enough to hold Secondly, the boats of our people have to pass through many checkpoints on the road, and they will also encounter Japanese patrols, so we must solve the problem of identity to avoid showing flaws."

Although Ning Wen's words were tactful, Lin Yanni also felt that her suggestion was not feasible.If they disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers, they must have the identity of the Japanese military units, otherwise when they pass through the checkpoint, they will be exposed after they make a phone call and investigate.

She couldn't think of a better way for a while, and seeing Gao Jiu and the others thinking about it, she also reconsidered how to improve her suggestion.

Lin Yanni said to herself, "Ning Wen is right. To disguise yourself as a Japanese soldier, you must have a reasonable identity. It is best that the Japanese soldiers dare not check and let them go."

Hearing this, Ning Wu said: "Jiu Ye, Director Lin's opinion is reasonable. Why don't you send a telegram to the Japanese and ask them to let them go."

Gao Jiu nodded with a smile, and said, "Your opinions are very good. Especially Ning Wu, who is more and more able to use his brains. Let's do it like this."

Li Qianhong and Paulus didn't know Gao Jiu's relationship with the Japanese, and looked at Gao Jiu with some surprise, wondering how he could let the Japanese let them go.

The relationship between Gao Jiu and the Japanese Eighth Air Force in Southeast Asia and Hejian Daisaku, the commander of the 15th Army, is of course unknown to outsiders except Ning Wen, Ning Wu and other cronies.It was also inconvenient for Gao Jiu to disclose the reason to Li Qianhong, Paulus and others.

Gao Jiu called Jia Liu aside and ordered him to send a telegram.

The main force of the Japanese army occupying Vietnam today is the 15th Army of Dasaku Hejian.

Hejian Dazuo received a telegram from Gao Jiu, saying that he had a group of personnel and equipment in Vietnam to reach the seaside through the Mekong River, and said the number, time and location.

Of course, Gao Jiu didn't say that he himself was among them, but that it belonged to a friend of his in Vietnam.

For such a request, Hejian Dazuo readily agreed.He sent someone to call the local garrison and asked them to provide ships for Gao Jiu and the others and escort them to their destination.

After the arrangements were made, Hejian Dasuo sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu received the telegram and said with a smile: "Okay, the matter is settled, let's go now!"

Soon after, Gao Jiu and others disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and went to the Japanese stronghold by the Mekong River.

Li Qianhong, Paulus and others were worried that Gao Jiu and others would have an accident, so they insisted on escorting them to the vicinity of the Japanese barracks.

After Gao Jiu and the others said goodbye to them, they walked towards the Japanese barracks.

Li Ganhong, Paulus and the others were hiding in the forest, and when they saw Gao Jiu and the others walking straight towards the Japanese stronghold, they all sweated for them.

Not long after, they saw several Japanese officers appearing at the gate of the Japanese barracks. When they saw Gao Jiu and the others, they saluted each other and shook hands with them, apparently very cordial.Immediately afterwards, Gao Jiu and others followed the Japanese officers into the Japanese barracks.

Seeing this situation, Li Qianhong, Paulus and the others felt a little more relaxed, but they still insisted on refusing to leave, wanting to see Gao Jiu and the others get on the boat and leave with their own eyes.

Soon after, Gao Jiu and others walked out of the Japanese barracks.Accompanied by several officers of the Japanese army, they walked towards the pier by the Mekong River.

Li Qianhong and the others saw Gao Jiu and the others board a gunboat, and then the gunboat started up, sailed away from the shore, and headed towards the lower reaches of the Mekong River.

The officers of the Japanese army stood on the shore, saluted and waved to Gao Jiu and the others, and saw them off.

Seeing this, Li Qianhong, Paulus and others were overwhelmed with admiration.They had all dealt with Gao Jiu and knew Gao Jiu's magic, but they didn't expect that Gao Jiu could instruct the Japanese.This scene was completely beyond their expectations. If they were not familiar with Gao Jiu, they would have thought that Gao Jiu had surrendered to the Japanese, or that he was simply a Japanese spy.

Seeing that Gao Jiu and the others had disappeared, Li Qianhong and the others also led the troops and withdrew towards the original station.
