The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 684 The American Way
After hearing Gao Jiu's plan, Miller was also very excited. He said, "Mr. Gao, you are more and more like us Americans. This is a typical American way of doing things."

Gao Jiu said: "This is indeed learned from you Americans. When dealing with you Americans, you have to use your American way, strength first, interests first, carrots and sticks."

Miller smiled and said, "Very well, I like it, you just go according to your plan, and we will be responsible for coordinating the rest."

In late March, Gao Jiu personally led the Taohuashan Special Forces, the Haibao Commando, 3 Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and elite fighters selected from the Mi Army prisoners of war. The Bales Mountains launched continuous attacks on the Japanese army.

Within ten days, they took down 16 strongholds of the Japanese army including the county seat and two mines, annihilated more than 400 Japanese troops, rescued more than 300 rice prisoners of war, and advanced the anti-Japanese base area by more than 40 years. kilometer.

The head of the Japanese garrison division in Manila once again dispatched the main force of the Japanese army, mainly the 82nd Brigade, and with the cooperation of the naval aviation, went to central Luzon to seek to fight Gao Jiu.

When Gao Jiu and others saw the main force of the Japanese army coming, they voluntarily abandoned some newly occupied areas and retreated into the Zambales Mountains.They avoided the bombing of the Japanese naval aviation in the mountains during the day, and came out to attack the Japanese army at night. The attacks every night caused a lot of casualties to the Japanese army. One attack even hit the brigade headquarters of the No.80 Second Brigade of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army had strengthened precautions in advance, it still caused a lot of casualties, and even the brigade commander himself almost died.The main force of the Japanese army was forced to retreat dozens of kilometers, and gave up most of the captured Japanese strongholds.

In the next two days, the anti-Japanese army did not launch an attack on the Japanese army, and the front line was silent for two days.

On the night of the second day, fierce gunfire sounded suddenly in Manila, and the division headquarters of the Japanese army was attacked.More than a dozen mortar shells fell into the courtyard of the division headquarters. Although no large number of casualties were caused, everyone, including the division commander, was greatly frightened.

Immediately afterwards, Manila's military port was also attacked, and a destroyer and a frigate were blown up in the port.

The head of the division of the Japanese army really couldn't deal with Gao Jiu's attack. He reported the bad situation on Luzon Island to his superiors and asked them to send a large army to encircle Gao Jiu.

The commander of the Southern Dispatch Army had dealt with Gao Jiu not once, and he was a little puzzled by Gao Jiu's attack.

He convened a military meeting, and asked people from the special high school to participate in the meeting to analyze Gao Jiu's intentions.

After the meeting started, the deputy chief of staff of the Southern Expedition Army briefed the participants on what happened in Luzon Island.

The chief of staff said: "Gao Jiu was born as a bandit and is good at sneak attacks. It is not surprising that he launched a series of offensives, but every time he launched an attack, he achieved his combat goals. However, in the attack The 82nd Brigade and the Garrison Division did not succeed, and they missed twice in a row. What is the reason for this?"

Gao Jiu's combat power is super strong, his thinking is meticulous, and he basically never misses the battle or battle goal he wants to achieve.No one believed that Gao Jiu's two attacks on the Japanese Army's Division Headquarters and the Brigade Headquarters, the brigade commander and the division commander were both safe and sound, because of Gao Jiu's incompetence.

The commander quickly came to a conclusion that it was Gao Jiu who forced the Japanese army to negotiate with him.

He said: "According to intelligence, Gao Jiu has formed a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces in the northern part of Luzon Island. He did not launch a large-scale attack on the southern part of Luzon Island, but only used small troops to carry out sneak attacks and made them in Manila. Two attacks were carried out, and the division headquarters of the garrison division and the brigade headquarters of the 82nd brigade were spared. It can be understood that Gao Jiu was putting pressure on the garrison division and forcing them to report to the southern dispatch army. This shows what?"

The head of the special high school worked hard to formulate a plan to attack Gao Jiu. Unexpectedly, he lost his wife and lost his army. He lost the lives of Captain Yoshida and his 500 elite soldiers of the Yellow Army in vain. Feeling ashamed, he desperately hopes to eliminate Gao Jiu and take revenge.Therefore, he did not understand the meaning of His Excellency the Commander for a while.

He said: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't Gao Jiu afraid of angering Huang Jun and sending a large army into Luzon Island to surrender him? After all, Luzon Island is an island and lacks strategic depth. As long as Huang Jun has enough troops , advancing in parallel from south to north, and with the cooperation of the navy and air force, I don't believe that Gao Jiu has three heads and six arms, and can stop the encirclement and suppression of the army."

When the commander saw that the head of the special advanced course questioned his opinion, he was immediately a little unhappy. He lowered his face and reprimanded him: "It's just stupid, no wonder the army loses the battle. Is this how you collect information and make judgments? "

The head of the super high class was a little confused by the training, but he really didn't understand what the Commander's intentions were. He blushed and his neck was thick, and he didn't know what to do, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The deputy chief of staff was directly in charge of the super advanced class, and the chief of the super high class was scolded, and the deputy chief of staff also felt a little uncomfortable.The deputy chief of staff personally led the troops to fight against Gao Jiu, and he became more familiar with the commander.He knew that the commander was not willing to fight Gao Jiu, so he thought carefully about every word the commander said, and basically understood his intention.

The deputy chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think the reason why Gao Jiu attacked the garrison division headquarters in Luzon Island and the 82nd Brigade headquarters, but did not kill him, was to send the army commander to the south through them. Ministry of Communications. If I understand correctly, he wants to negotiate with us."

That's what the commander meant. Seeing that the deputy chief of staff had fully understood his intentions, he praised: "Yo Xi, you're still smart. Gao Jiu is just going to negotiate with us."

The chief of staff and other senior military officers also understood that Gao Jiu's actions were indeed forcing the defenders of Luzon Island to send news to the south and let the Japanese army take the initiative to negotiate with him.

As a result, the senior leaders of the Southern Dispatch Army started discussions around this issue, and they decided to send the commander of the 15th Army, Daisaku Hejian, to get in touch with Gao Jiu.They are acquaintances, have conducted many negotiations, and are the most suitable negotiators.

The commander of the Southern Dispatch Army was right in his judgment. Gao Jiu wanted to attack the Japanese army and force them to negotiate with him. If the Japanese army did not respond, he would continue to fight until the Japanese army understood.

What the hell is Gao Jiu doing?

It turned out that Gao Jiu was in an embarrassing situation now.Those Americans, he must be rescued, otherwise, he will lose credibility with the Americans, and it will be much more difficult to cooperate with the Americans in the future.

It is very difficult to rescue those American prisoners of war. It can even be said that Gao Jiu is powerless at all, because there are more than 20 American prisoners of war. They are treated as laborers and held in as many as [-] prison camps, or It is impossible for Gao Jiu to rescue them at the same time in each mining site.

If Gao Jiu went to rescue them one by one, it wouldn't be possible in a year or two.Gao Jiu doesn't have that much time to stay in Luzon.

Due to the special environment of Luzon Island, the entire Luzon Island is within the combat radius of the Japanese naval aviation, and they can fight against the Japanese army to launch air strikes at any time.

Even if Gao Jiu could rescue those Americans and let them leave the prisoner-of-war camp, it was basically impossible to send them to a safe area safely.If these Americans encountered air strikes and interception by Japanese ground forces during their retreat, they would suffer heavy casualties, and he could not explain to the Americans.

Therefore, relying on force to rescue these rice prisoners of war is really a bad choice.

Gao Jiu had to think of a way to safely rescue these rice army prisoners of war at once. The only way was to let the Japanese take the initiative to release them.

In addition to rescuing the prisoners of war of the Mi Army, Gao Jiu has another very embarrassing thing.Since Luzon Island was blocked by the Japanese navy, even if Gao Jiu wanted to leave Luzon Island, it would be very difficult for Gao Jiu. Whether it was to snatch Japanese aircraft or naval ships, or to be attacked by Japanese aircraft carrier-based aircraft at sea, it would be a dead end. one.No matter how good his physical strength was, Gao Jiu couldn't swim directly from Luzon Island to the South Asian continent.

Therefore, if Gao Jiu wanted to leave Luzon as soon as possible, he had to ask the Japanese for help.

To achieve these goals, Gao Jiu must take advantage of the weaknesses of the Japanese and force them to negotiate with him.

On Luzon Island, the Japanese really have a big weakness, that is, Luzon Island has coal, iron ore, and other large mineral deposits that Japan needs. They are reluctant to give up here. Their Luzon Island The troops are insufficient, and they are not sure of this high nine.Therefore, in order to protect their interests in Luzon, they must be willing to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

The reason why Miller said that Gao Jiu's approach is more and more like the Americans, because the way Americans negotiate is not to connect with the negotiating opponent, but to use the resources and strength in their hands to put pressure on the opponent and force the opponent to make concessions to him. .

Of course, Gao Jiu won't take advantage of these Americans for no reason, he must get benefits from them.Therefore, he first negotiated with Miller and others, put forward the conditions he wanted, and let the Americans meet his requirements.

Like the Japanese on Luzon, the Americans also have their own weaknesses.On the one hand, five important Americans and the haibao commando team were still trapped on Luzon Island, and they couldn't leave without Gao Jiu's help.There are also as many as 5 Mi Army prisoners of war. If the Americans want to rescue them, they must rely on Gao Jiu, so Gao Jiu has enough capital to negotiate with the Americans.

The Americans also have a little advantage. When they can oppress their negotiating opponents, they will not be soft.However, if the negotiating opponent has enough strength to force them to make concessions, they can accept them.

Gao Jiu didn't need to put pressure on them when negotiating with the Americans. The pressure brought on by the Japanese was enough.Therefore, after they reported the conditions proposed by Gao Jiu to the upper echelons of the United States, the upper echelons of the United States agreed to the conditions proposed by Gao Jiu.

Soon, Gao Jiu received a telegram from Hejian Dasaku. He hoped that Gao Jiu would temporarily stop attacking the Japanese army in the southern part of Luzon Island, and he would fly to Luzon Island soon to have a meeting with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu agreed to He Jian's request and stopped attacking the Japanese army.The Japanese army also automatically retreated 20 kilometers, and the fighting on Luzon Island temporarily subsided.

Gao Jiu returned to Suwei City and asked Zhu Jianmin to send someone to repair the field airport outside the city to welcome the arrival of Hejian Dazuo.

A few days later, Hejian Dazuo flew to the field airport in Suwei City, and Gao Jiu went to the airport to greet him in person.

Seeing He Jian Da Zuo, Gao Jiu smiled all over his face, and shook hands with him to say hello.Hejian Dasuo also behaved very affectionately, the two talked and laughed like old friends.The difference is that Gao Jiu's smile is from the heart, and he believes that He Jian's masterpiece can bring him good luck.

Hejian Dazuo's smile was a wry smile, he knew that he must be tricked by Gao Jiu again.He only suffers when dealing with Gao Jiu.

After exchanging greetings, Gao Jiu said to Hejian Dazuo: "Mr. Hejian, my men are going back to the Golden Triangle, please send a transport plane to take them there."

For this request, He Jian Dasaku immediately agreed, and he asked the adjutant to inform the pilot of the transport plane, asking him to send Gao Jiu's people to the Golden Triangle safely.

Gao Jiu already has the idea of ​​leaving Luzon Island. He has two choices at present. One is that if the negotiation goes well, he intends to escort the five important figures from the United States to the United States to meet Xiao Yatong.Since it was inconvenient to take Lin Yanni and others with him, he wanted to send Lin Yanni and others back to the Golden Triangle in advance.There is another option, that is, if the negotiations do not go well, Lin Yanni and the special forces team members will leave Luzon Island first, and it will be much more convenient for him to be alone. He can even grab a Japanese plane and fly back directly.

Gao Jiu had already communicated with Lin Yanni and others about this matter in advance. Lin Yanni was extremely reluctant to part with Gao Jiu. She cried for a long time last night, and her eye circles are still red.

Gao Jiu accompanied Lin Yanni to the side of the transport plane. Seeing Lin Yanni's eyes weeping and Lihua looking at him with rain, he stepped forward to hug and kiss her tenderly.

The haibao commandos who served as security guards at the airport applauded loudly when they saw this warm scene, and some even blew their whistles.

Then Gao Jiu hugged Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and every member of the Special Forces, and said goodbye to them.

The transport plane took off, and Gao Jiu watched the plane disappear into the sky, and then accompanied Hejian Dasaku into Suwei City.

Gao Jiu and Hejian Dasuo are really old friends, there is no need for any formal negotiation ceremony between them, just in the hotel where Hejian Dasuo stayed, the two drank a little wine, communicated with each other, and reached an agreement protocol.
