The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 673
It turned out that Gao Jiu judged that there were Japanese pursuers behind them, and the Japanese would definitely judge that they entered the mountains in the opposite direction from the pursuers.The Japanese army will mobilize troops to intercept their fleeing direction, surround them on all sides, and wait until dawn before searching the mountains.

If Gao Jiu and the others really did this, they would not be able to escape the encirclement of the Japanese army at all. Even if they broke through the encirclement circle of the Japanese army, once their tracks were exposed on the plain, they would not be able to escape the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.Gao Jiu decided to do the opposite, instead of continuing to flee to the mountains, he went to Manila.

Therefore, Gao Jiu and the others did not continue to advance towards the deep mountains and dense forests in the northeast direction, but turned around and walked in the direction of Yoshida Brigade.

Soon after, Gao Jiu and others approached the location of the Yoshida Brigade.

Captain Yoshida knew that the enemy's marksmanship was very powerful. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, he ordered the troops not to light fire, and stopped chasing forward, but lay in ambush in the jungle and waited for dawn.

Standing on a hillside, Gao Jiu saw the devils below the mountain divided into three groups hiding in the jungle.

He led the team to march north, bypassing the northernmost unit of the Yoshida Brigade, came to the river, then continued north along the river bank, found a relatively gentle river, crossed the river, and went directly to the river. Going in the direction of Manila city.

Captain Yoshida believed that the enemy would flee to the deep mountains under his pursuit.He never imagined that Gao Jiu and the others would come back to meet them, and then go around behind them, jumping out of the encirclement of the Japanese army like this.

Captain Yoshida is actually a very smart person with rich combat experience. Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was facing Gao Jiu, and he was doomed to fail.

Gao Jiu and the others have been heading towards the direction of Manila City, which is unexpected by the Japanese army, and they have not encountered any obstruction by the Japanese army along the way.When it was almost dawn, they arrived outside Manila.But Gao Jiu and the others did not enter the city, but continued northward from the east of the city, and hid in a forest at dawn.

The Japanese army searched the mountain and found nothing, and completely lost the target of tracking. The Japanese brigade commander had no choice but to withdraw his troops and return to the camp.

Captain Yoshida was slapped in the face in public, feeling very angry.He was not reconciled, and wanted to continue to follow Gao Jiu and the others.But now he couldn't judge the whereabouts of those who escaped, so he had to return to Manila with the Japanese army.

After returning to the city, Yoshida did not forget about this incident. He came to the special high school and asked to see the head of the special high school.

He said that he had dealt with this group of escaped people and had some experience. He hoped that once there was news of Gao Jiu and others in the Special High School, he would be sent to continue to track down this group of people and wipe them out completely so that they could escape. A breath of humiliation.

The five important hostages in the U.S. were lost from the special high school. The super high class leader was also reprimanded by his superiors. Now he is in a state of committing crimes. He is also eager to find Gao Jiu and others, so he hit it off with Yoshida and said that he had News, will definitely recommend Yoshida to track down Gao Jiu and others.

During the whole day, Gao Jiu and the others rested in the woods, which was unavoidable.If there are not three Americans in the team, they can completely disguise themselves as Japanese soldiers and continue marching north in broad daylight.

So they could only wait in the woods until dark before continuing north.

In this way, Gao Jiu and the others stopped and went, and two days later in the morning, they finally entered the Sierra Madre and joined Taylor and the others.

Lin Yanni was always worried about Gao Jiu, and she was relieved to see him come back safely.

Columbus has already contacted the U.S. military. Due to the Japanese blockade at sea, the U.S. military is temporarily unable to send submarines to respond. How long it will take depends on changes in the situation.

Therefore, Gao Jiu and the others must make long-term plans.The Sierra Madre mountains are criss-cross, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. It is not a problem for Gao Jiu and others to hide.

But they lost their material supply base, and the materials they brought were limited, so they could only last for a few more days.Next, they must go outside the mountain for activities in order to settle their supplies.They showed up outside the mountain, and sooner or later their whereabouts will be exposed, and then they will face the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army again.

Gao Jiu and the others are experts in guerrilla warfare.What makes them feel embarrassed is that this is not the country, there is no mass base, and the geographical conditions are not familiar, which adds a lot of difficulty to guerrilla warfare.

Gao Jiu found Chen Yuqing, Chen Zhifeng and others, and asked them about the surrounding situation.

Chen Yuqing's grandfather came to the Philippines during the Qing Dynasty, and he is already the third generation here.Although his main area of ​​activity is in Manila, he has a basic understanding of the situation in Luzon Island.

Chen Yuqing had certain connections in the area around the Sierra Madre, so Gao Jiu decided to go down the mountain with Chen Yuqing to familiarize himself with the surrounding situation.

Now that they had a long-term plan, Gao Jiu and the others first found a secret cave in an inaccessible mountain, and used it as a temporary base to hide personnel and store supplies.Around the hole, build hidden observation posts.

Because the physical characteristics of the Americans are too obvious to hide in the Philippines, the task of staying and defending the base area is borne by the Americans.Gao Jiu and the special forces team members are responsible for going out to raise supplies.

After the Japanese army invaded the Philippines, they still couldn't change their brutal nature, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.The Filipino people, especially those overseas Chinese, can't bear the bullying of the Japanese, and they will definitely rise up to resist.Therefore, Gao Jiu believes that there must be many anti-Japanese armed forces in various parts of the Philippines.

Sure enough, he asked Chen Yuqing and Chen Zhifeng. They also heard that there were many anti-Japanese guerrillas operating in the northern part of Luzon Island, especially in the mountainous areas, but they didn't know the specific situation.

Lin Yanni, as Gao Jiu's intelligence chief, all she has to do is provide information for Gao Jiu.Seeing that Chen Yuqing, Chen Zhifeng and the others could not provide more information, she suggested that Gao Jiu interrogate Jin Jing. She said, "Brother Jiu, Jin Jing is a high school student, why don't you learn the situation from him?"

When Gao Jiu heard Lin Yanni's suggestion, his eyes lit up, and he immediately called Jin Jing.

These days, Jin Jing has been worried. He is worried that the Japanese army will find and wipe out Gao Jiu and others, and he will die an ugly death if he falls into the hands of the Japanese.Seeing that Gao Jiu and others were brave and brave, and jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army calmly, he admired Gao Jiu very much.In addition, Gao Jiu respected him very much, kept his promise, and agreed to send him to the United States, and he was willing to do his best to help Gao Jiu.

As the intelligence chief of the special high-level class, he can often see the war reports from various places. He knows that there are anti-Japanese guerrillas all over Luzon Island, and most of them are active in the central and northern mountainous areas, and Other areas with inconvenient road traffic.

Among them is a relatively strong anti-Japanese guerrilla group, which is active in the Sierra Madre where they are now, and they have repeatedly attacked the local Japanese troops.

Jin Jing suggested that Gao Jiu and others go to these places, and they should be able to learn about the situation of this anti-Japanese guerrilla.

After mastering the situation, Gao Jiu decided to take Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Chen Zhifeng down the mountain first to find the whereabouts of the guerrillas.

This morning, Gao Jiu and the others set off.

Looking at the backs of Gao Jiu and the others, Lin Yanni felt nervous and sad.When she was not by Gao Jiu's side before, although she was also worried about Gao Jiu, but unlike now she can always see Gao Jiu with her own eyes and go on adventures, she is very worried about herself, and she will never see her again Beloved lovers.

Chen Xiaoya who was standing beside Lin Yanni could understand her mood the most.At the beginning, she also bid farewell to her lover and went to join the guerrillas.Since then, I have never seen him again.

Seeing Lin Yanni staring blankly at Gao Jiu's back with tears in her eyes, she reached out and held her hand.

Lin Yanni felt Chen Xiaoya's comfort to her, she nodded slightly, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but her eyes still couldn't leave Gao Jiu's back until he finally disappeared into the jungle.

Luzon Island has a tropical climate, and the climate in mid-March is already a bit hot.Gao Jiu and the others crossed the mountains and ridges, and they couldn't help feeling thirsty on the road, so everyone stopped to look for water to drink.

Luzon Island is abundant in water. It can be said that water can be seen everywhere.It is a pity that most of these waters cannot be drunk directly. If you drink unboiled water, you will easily contract various diseases.

However, Luzon has a lot of tropical fruits, especially coconuts, which are good things to quench your thirst.

Unlike fruits such as apples and pears, coconut trees have a fixed fruiting time every year.Coconut trees bloom and bear fruit all year round under the right conditions.

Gao Jiu and the others found several tall coconut trees and planned to pick some coconuts to quench their thirst.

Looking at the tall coconut trees, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, and Ning Wu were a little worried.Although climbing is a compulsory subject for special forces members, the trunk of the coconut tree is bare and it is very difficult to climb.

Chen Zhifeng volunteered to pick coconuts.I saw him taking off his shoes, holding the trunk with both hands, stepping on the coconut tree, alternating hands and feet, moving vigorously, and quickly climbed to the top.

He held the coconut tree between his legs, cut off the coconuts on it with a dagger, and picked seven or eight coconuts in one go.

Ning Wu felt ashamed of being compared to others, so he came under a coconut tree, raised his gun and shot towards the tree.His marksmanship was very precise, and every shot hit the coconut's jing exactly, and the coconut fell down with a crackling sound.

Chen Zhifeng is a simple and honest young man, he saw Ning Wu's superb marksmanship, he was very envious, and clamored for Ning Wu to teach him marksmanship.

Seeing his sincere expression, Ning Wu also liked him very much, and promised to teach him how to practice marksmanship when he was free.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others are no strangers to how to eat coconuts. When they were in the Golden Triangle, the material companies in the Golden Triangle would purchase various daily necessities from various places, including coconuts.Everyone took a coconut, pierced it with a dagger, and drank the coconut juice.

Coconut juice is sweet and refreshing, and the fatigue of everyone is swept away.After resting for a while, they continued to walk outside the mountain.

Wendt City is a county town closest to the Sierra Madre on the east coast of Luzon Island, and it has been occupied by the Japanese at this time.Gao Jiu and others came to the county seat. They had the identity of Zhengjin Bank and entered the county seat easily.

In this county, Zhu Jianmin, the principal of the No. 20 Middle School, was once a Ph.D. student at Cambridge University. It turned out that the education here was very backward, and the No. [-] Middle School was established under his auspices.During his [-] years as the principal, he has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents, so he has a high prestige in Wendt City.

After the Japanese army occupied Wendt City, Zhu Jianmin was dissatisfied with the enslavement education promoted by the Japanese army and angrily resigned.The Japanese are very dissatisfied with him, but because of his influence, they haven't killed him yet.

This morning, several guests came to Zhu Jianmin's house and asked to see Zhu Jianmin.

The concierge saw that these people were strangers and stopped them.

Chen Zhifeng said that they were relatives of Chen Yuqing in Manila, and asked the concierge to inform Mr. Zhu.

Chen Yuqing and Zhu Jianmin used to be classmates in high school, and they have traveled frequently over the years, and their relationship is very good.Hearing that they were his relatives, Zhu Jianmin asked the concierge to invite the guests in.

Zhu Jianmin's residence is a Chinese-style building imitating Tang Dynasty.Entering the gate, there is a small garden.There are many buildings in the interior, which are divided into front hall, nave and back court.

The front hall is the place where the guests take a temporary rest while waiting for the host to be received, and the middle hall is the place where the guests are formally received.The backyard is the place to receive close relatives and friends.

Under the leadership of the butler, Gao Jiu and the others came directly to the back court, which was enough to show the close relationship between Zhu Jianmin and Chen Yuqing.

Zhu Jianmin is of medium height, with a thin figure, exuding a refined temperament.After seeing Gao Jiu and the others, he sat on the main seat and bowed his body to show courtesy.

He invited the guests to sit down, and first said to Chen Zhifeng: "I haven't seen your uncle for more than three years, how is he doing recently?"

Chen Zhifeng talked with Zhu Jianmin respectfully, told about Chen Yuqing's recent situation, and sent his regards to Zhu Jianmin on his behalf.

Zhu Jianmin asked, "Is there anything you need me to do when you come here?"

Chen Zhifeng tore off a piece of cloth from the inside of his trouser leg, took out Chen Yuqing's personal letter hidden inside, and handed it to Zhu Jianmin.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Jianmin immediately became alert.He said to the servants standing aside: "Go down first, and don't come in unless you are told."

After reading Chen Yuqing's letter, he raised his head and asked, "Which one is Mr. Gao Jiu?"

Gao Jiu stood up very politely and said, "I am."

Zhu Jianmin quickly stood up and took two steps forward.Gao Jiu also went up to greet him and shook hands with him cordially.

Zhu Jianmin said excitedly: "It's really unexpected that Mr. Gao, the world-famous anti-Japanese hero, can visit the humble house. It's really radiant."
