The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 674 Meeting Ceremony

Gao Jiu said politely: "I have heard for a long time that Principal Zhu loves the country and the people, is enthusiastic about education, and is full of peaches and plums. Gao admires him very much."

Although Zhu Jianmin has passed his forties and experienced countless ups and downs, he no longer cares so much about other people's compliments.But Gao Jiu is different. Gao Jiu is a world-famous anti-Japanese hero and a star figure with countless legendary stories.The affirmation from him made Zhu Jianmin very happy.

He asked Gao Jiu to sit down, and said sincerely: "Mr. Gao, do you need my help this time? As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Gao Jiu explained his intentions. He hoped that Zhu Jianmin could help him find the anti-Japanese guerrillas operating in the Sierra Madre.

Zhu Jianmin said: "Mr. Gao, this matter is very easy. Several of my students are now in the guerrillas. I can send someone to get in touch with them."

Gao Jiu was very happy and thanked him.

Zhu Jianmin was very enthusiastic. He asked Gao Jiu what else he needed?He guessed that Gao Jiu and the others needed supplies, and he could also help in this regard.For the guerrillas in the mountains, he raised large quantities of supplies more than once and solved many difficulties for them.

Gao Jiu declined his kindness, and at the same time hoped that he would stop raising supplies for the guerrillas in the mountains in the future, because the goal of doing so was too big, and the Japanese's extra-high school is not for dry food, and sooner or later he would be found on the head.As for the supplies of the guerrillas in the future, after he gets in touch with the guerrillas, they will solve them by themselves.

To be honest, it is becoming more and more difficult for Zhu Jianmin to raise supplies for the guerrillas.In the past, his family was well-off, and he bought supplies quietly with his own money, which was more concealed.

But now he has basically emptied his family. If he wants to provide supplies for the guerrillas in the mountains, he must raise funds. This will involve many people, and it is difficult to guarantee that no news will be leaked at any link.If the Japanese find out, it will be a disaster for Zhu Jianmin.

Although Zhu Jianmin had been in contact with Gao Jiu for a short time, Gao Jiu's manner of acting gave him a great shock.Gao Jiu did not want Zhu Jianmin to take risks to provide assistance to them, but to consider Zhu Jianmin's safety first, which moved Zhu Jianmin very much.

He said: "Mr. Gao, in order to resist the Japanese, you have risked your life and death under the enemy's bullets. I am willing to do my best to help you. As for my safety, I will find a way by myself."

Gao Jiuyu said earnestly: "Principal Zhu, we all understand that you want to contribute to the Anti-Japanese War. However, the most important thing to do now is to protect yourself. Please believe me, you will definitely take on more important responsibilities for the Anti-Japanese War in the future." Responsibilities to make greater contributions.”

Then Gao Jiu told Zhu Jianmin about his future plans.

Zhu Jianmin did not expect Gao Jiu's ambition to be so grand.He was very excited by Gao Jiu's blueprint. He said, "Mr. Gao, I will listen to you. I will be waiting for the news of your victory."

Zhu Jianmin warmly entertained Gao Jiu and others, and then asked his housekeeper to take Gao Jiu and others into the mountains to find the guerrillas.

Gao Jiu and the others were about to leave when another guest came to Zhu's house.The person who came was a young man, also an overseas Chinese. He was in his early 20s, not tall, a little dark, with bright eyes, and looked very energetic.

He came to the living room and saw that there were other guests in Zhu Jianmin's house, so he prepared to avoid it temporarily.

Zhu Jianmin stopped him, and said to Gao Jiu, "Mr. Gao, this is my student Li Mingquan. He is in the guerrilla team now."

The young man was taken aback. His identity was kept secret, and his relationship with Zhu Jianmin was even more a secret.He did not expect that Zhu Jianmin would reveal their relationship in public.

But he knew his teacher well, and knew that these people should be trusted by the teacher.So he asked curiously: "Teacher, who are these?"

Zhu Jianmin said with a smile: "Mingquan, there is a young, promising and well-known anti-Japanese hero in China, who made the Japanese invaders fearful and invincible. Don't you really want to see him? Now he is in front of you. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Gao Jiugao."

Before the Japanese army invaded the Philippines, Li Mingquan had been fascinated by Gao Jiu. He once had the idea of ​​going back to China to fight the devils with Gao Jiu.At that time, he was too young and had not finished his studies, so he was dissuaded by Zhu Jianmin.

Later, when the Japanese army invaded the Philippines, Li Mingquan followed Gao Jiu's example and formed a guerrilla team with some like-minded classmates to fight against the Japanese army.

Li Mingquan really didn't expect that Gao Jiu would appear in Luzon Island, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.

At this time, he saw that Gao Jiu had stood up and looked at him with a smile. He hurried forward a few steps, held Gao Jiu's outstretched hand with both hands, and said excitedly: "Mr. Gao, are you really Mr. Gao?" ? I'm not dreaming, am I?" He didn't know what to say for a while.

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "If it's fake, are you a little disappointed to see me?"

Gao Jiu is tall and handsome, and naturally exudes a unique temperament, which makes people respect, trust, and feel very kind.

Li Mingquan hurriedly said: "No, you are more imposing than I imagined."

Gao Jiu asked Li Mingquan to sit beside him, and had a cordial conversation with him.

Li Mingquan introduced the situation of the guerrillas to Gao Jiu and others in detail.

The anti-Japanese guerrillas that Li Mingquan belonged to fought under the banner of the Luzon Island People's Anti-Japanese Guerrillas. It was originally an anti-Japanese armed force raised by Li Mingquan and some of his classmates.At that time, the Japanese had just entered Luzon Island, and the anti-Japanese war was raging, and many anti-Japanese guerrillas emerged in various places.

In such an atmosphere, their guerrilla team grew rapidly, from a few dozen people at the beginning to more than 220 people.Due to lack of organizational experience, they were constantly consumed in the battle with the Japanese army, and now there are more than [-] people left.However, these people are the backbones that have been tested and preserved in battle, and they have strong combat effectiveness.

Hearing this, Gao Jiu was very happy. He decided to follow Li Mingquan to visit their guerrillas first, and discuss with them how to cooperate with each other in combat in the future.

The reason why Gao Jiu wanted to contact the guerrillas was, on the one hand, to divert the attention of the Japanese and try to protect the safety of the haibao commando and the important figures in the United States. On the other hand, he wanted to teach the local guerrillas the experience of guerrilla warfare , Improve their combat capabilities, help them grow and develop guerrillas, and severely hit the Japanese.

Li Mingquan was very happy and said that after he raised the supplies, he would return to the guerrillas with Gao Jiu and others.

Li Mingquan came down the mountain this time mainly to find Zhu Jianmin to raise food. The Philippines has a tropical climate and is rich in products. Bananas, coconuts and other fruits are very rich, but eating these things is not enough. Food is necessary to maintain physical strength.

Zhu Jianmin had just discussed with Gao Jiu that he would no longer provide food for the guerrillas for the time being. When Li Mingquan explained his purpose, he felt a little embarrassed, so he looked at Gao Jiu and listened to what he had to say.

Gao Jiu said: "Brother Mingquan, President Zhu is under the nose of the Japanese. It is very dangerous to raise food and other supplies. In order to protect him, your guerrillas should not let him help raise supplies for the time being."

Li Mingquan understood that what Gao Jiu said was correct, but it was very difficult in the mountains now, and he had no choice but to come to the teacher.

He was a little embarrassed, and reluctantly said: "Well, since the teacher is difficult here, let's think of other ways."

Seeing his appearance, Gao Jiu said confidently: "No food, no weapons and ammunition, it's not a big deal, the Japanese have plenty, we can ask them for it."

Li Mingquan had already heard that Gao Jiu was originally a small bandit in Peach Blossom Mountain, who fought the Japanese with a knife and a gun, and now he has established a huge family business in the Golden Triangle, for which he admires very much.

Seeing Gao Jiu's confident appearance, he also strengthened his confidence, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gao is right, we can snatch the Japanese."

Gao Jiu, Li Mingquan and others bid farewell to Zhu Jianmin and went to the guerrilla camp.

Nishimachi Village is an important village on the main road from Wingate City to the Sierra Madre. Here, the Japanese army established a stronghold with an infantry squadron stationed here, and a squadron of the Philippine puppet army assisted in the defense.Near the stronghold, they dug a blockade ditch, which posed a great threat to the guerrillas in the mountains.

The guerrillas of Li Mingquan and others attacked this stronghold of the Japanese army many times. Because the Japanese army built solid artillery towers, their weapons and equipment were superior to those of the guerrillas, and their numbers were larger, the guerrillas were never able to defeat them.

After hearing what Li Mingquan said about the situation, Gao Jiu asked Li Mingquan to take him to the Japanese army stronghold in Xiding Village first.

After Gao Jiu observed the stronghold of the Japanese army, he had a bottom line in his mind.He decided to prepare a greeting for the guerrillas before going up the mountain.So they came to an intersection outside the stronghold, where there was a checkpoint set up by the puppet army, and a squad of puppet troops set up checkpoints here.Gao Jiu set his target on them.

When Li Mingquan heard that Gao Jiu was going to destroy these puppet troops, he thought it was a bit inappropriate, because this place was all flat land, and the Japanese army's stronghold was only more than [-] meters away from here, and the Japanese sentry on the gun tower could clearly see the situation here.If Gao Jiu and others destroy these puppet troops, they will definitely be discovered by the Japanese army.

Now there are only six of them, Gao Jiu, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu, Chen Zhifeng, and Li Mingquan, and there are 12 puppet troops, and there are hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold. It is too dangerous.

Li Mingquan knew that Gao Jiu was a hero, so he was embarrassed to ask questions, so he chose his words carefully, and said, "Mr. Gao, why don't you let these puppet troops go this time, and when we get to the mountains, call all the guerrillas over to attack the Japanese army." stronghold."

Gao Jiu smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm going to your guerrilla team, I can't go empty-handed, I still have to give some gifts."

After Gao Jiu finished speaking, he briefly explained that Jia Liu, Chen Zhifeng, and Li Mingquan were waiting in the middle of the bushes. Gao Jiu, Ning Wen, and Ning Wu put on Japanese army uniforms and swaggered towards the checkpoint of the puppet army. go.

Jia Liu was not idle either, he asked Chen Zhifeng and Li Mingquan to wait in place, climbed up a tall banyan tree by himself, hid among the dense branches and leaves, and prepared to support Gao Jiu and the others with firepower.

The Philippine puppet soldiers on duty at the checkpoint saw three people coming from a distance, and they immediately raised their vigilance.When they saw three Japanese soldiers coming, they relaxed.

When Gao Jiu and the others arrived at the checkpoint, the puppet soldiers rushed forward to greet them and saluted them respectfully.

Gao Jiu and the others stopped, pretending to ask the puppet soldiers about the situation, and while they were not paying attention, they suddenly drew their pistols and shot at the puppet soldiers.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu also opened fire at the same time, and most of the puppet troops were killed on the spot.

After all, there were a lot of puppet soldiers, and their positions were relatively scattered. Gao Jiu and others couldn't wipe them all out for a while. Two puppet soldiers raised their guns and were about to fight back. At this time, Jia Liu also opened fire. A puppet army fell to the ground.

Gao Jiu and the others were all carrying silencers, so they could have killed these puppet troops silently.But with the exception of Jia Liu, none of them installed silencers, and the sound of the gunfire directly reached the Japanese stronghold.

Gao Jiu and the others did this on purpose, because they knew that they could see what was happening here in the Japanese stronghold.If they are using guns with silencers, then they are too special, and it is easy for the superiors of the Japanese army to think that they are related to those Americans, and it is very likely that a large number of Japanese and puppet troops will be recruited to fight against them. Siege.

What Gao Jiu and the others had to do was to make the Japanese feel that it was just guerrillas who attacked the checkpoint of the puppet army.Even if their marksmanship is outstanding, it is not too much, because there must be people with outstanding marksmanship among the guerrillas.

As for Jialiu's use of the silencer is to hide himself well and prepare for the next battle.

After Gao Jiu and others killed the puppet army, they calmly collected the puppet army's guns and ammunition.Chen Zhifeng and Li Mingquan also hurried over to help.

Li Mingquan knew that there were many devils and puppet soldiers in the stronghold, and they would rush over soon.While picking up the gun on the ground, he reminded Gao Jiu, saying, "Mr. Gao, let's go quickly, the Japanese will come after us soon."

Gao Jiu, Ning Wen, and Ning Wu were indifferent, and had no intention of leaving.

Li Mingquan's worry was not superfluous. Sure enough, he saw a lot of people coming out of the stronghold, and rushed over here.

Gao Jiu was still not nervous, he said to Li Mingquan: "I decided to take down this Japanese stronghold today, how about this, you go back to the mountains first, and transfer your guerrillas here."

Li Mingquan felt that Gao Jiu seemed a little reckless, and relying on Gao Jiu and his guerrillas, he might not be able to defeat the Japanese stronghold.
