The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 712 Who should be thanked

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the generals of the national army, Gao Jiu specially took out half a year's profit of the anti-Japanese pharmaceutical company and handed it over to the national government, using the money as a reward for the generals of the national army.

So far, the generals of the national army have no distractions and only think about a showdown with the Japanese invaders.

All the efforts made by Gao Jiu made her cousin-in-law a little ashamed, but also a little moved.He specially sent his cousin to the front line to work in the army, mainly to express his goodwill to Gao Jiu, saying that in the future, his family should get closer and support each other, and the government will compensate Gao Jiu in other aspects.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of this day, the 20th Corps to which Commander Yang belonged first launched a feint attack on the Japanese army, which completely attracted the attention of the main force of the Japanese army.

Two hours later, the Guo army in the direction of Zhencheng mobilized 12 divisions and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese positions at the same time.

The Ninth War Zone has also gone all out this time. Behind the troops of these 12 divisions, there are 12 more divisions to follow up.

The national government also expressed great expectations for this campaign, and the Aviation Committee also spared no expense, mobilizing more than 130 aircraft to participate in this campaign.

Since the main force of the Japanese army has been transferred to the direction of Yichang, the Japanese army in the direction of Zhencheng is weak, and the national army is in a state of turmoil. Three hours after the start of the battle, the entire front line has advanced 20 kilometers and continued to advance in the depth of the battle. advance.

Gao Jiu saw that the problem with the direction of Zhencheng was no longer a problem. He was worried that the Japanese army would put all their eggs in one basket and launch an attack in the direction of Yichang, so he led the Taohuashan Special Forces to fly to Yichang to assist Commander Yang in defense.

When the gunfire from the direction of Zhencheng rang out, Jun Hata became furious. He only had one thought now, which was to kill Kagezuo directly.

The information provided by Kagezuo Yoshiaki was an extremely serious mistake. Hata Shunroku transferred the main force of the Japanese army to the direction of Yichang based on his information. The Japanese army in the direction of Zhencheng faced the powerful offensive of the Guo army and had no power to fight back at all. .

This time the national army seemed to be crazy. They changed their previous attitude of being cautious and striving to preserve their strength, and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army with all their strength.In the direction of Zhencheng, the Japanese army only had two garrison divisions, plus some local garrison teams, with a strength of less than 5 troops. Facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the national army, they could only retreat steadily.

In just one day, the national army's front has advanced more than 50 kilometers, and the Japanese army has lost vast land including six counties.

Not only that, the offensive of the national army is far from stopping, and even many national army troops continue to attack and advance at night.

There is nothing Hata Junliu can do about it. The only thing he can do is to order the air force to bomb the national army.However, the national army had been prepared for a long time, and they dispatched a large number of fighter jets to cover the ground troops.The Japanese air force had already received Gao Jiu's hint, they were just bluffing, and sent planes to circle over the war zone, and immediately returned when they saw the Chinese air force.

Not only that, but the Japanese air force was also full of resentment towards the Central China Front Army. Gao Jiu had already agreed to return to the Golden Triangle and would no longer be involved in the Central China Front Army’s affairs. They provoke Gao Jiu, and now they want the air force to work for them, but there is no way.

Therefore, when Hata Shunroku urged the air force to dispatch again, the air force had already had a lot of reasons waiting for him, and refused to send troops anyway.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao knew that he had caused a catastrophe this time, and his crime was unforgivable. He didn't want to be laughed at by others, and he didn't want to be tried by a military court. He decided to apologize by cutting open his stomach.

In order to find a scapegoat, Hata Junroku did not allow Kagesa Haruka to plead guilty at all. Just when Kagezuo Yoshiaki was about to commit suicide, Hata Junroku sent a team of military police to arrest Kagezuo Haruka and locked him up with his own guards In the cell temporarily set up by the army, people were sent to guard him day and night, and he was not allowed to commit suicide.

Hejian Daisaku and Kagezawa are good friends. After he heard about this situation, he planned to rescue Kagezuo.He knew that if he wanted to rescue Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao, he had to get Gao Jiu's consent first.

So he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping to rescue Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao.

Just like with Hamada Yoshizhi, including He Jian Dazuo, Gao Jiu likes familiar opponents, otherwise, he would have to work hard to study the situation of new opponents.

Gao Jiu agreed to Hejian Dazuo's request, and gave him an idea. At the same time, he also agreed to cooperate with Hejian Dazuo.

After communicating with Gao Jiu, Hejian Daisaku immediately flew to Nanchang by plane, and asked to see the commander of the Central China Front Army, Hata Shunroku.

At the same time, Gao Jiu specially sent a clear-coded telegram, in which he said: "Japan's national power is deteriorating, and the Japanese army is full of anti-war sentiment. In the battle launched by Chongqing, there are many The Japanese generals and even spies provided information to the national army, which is enough to show that the so-called Great Japanese Yellow Army, which Japan is proud of, has begun to decay internally and is on the verge of collapse."

Dasaku Hejian took this plain-coded telegram and begged to see Hata Junroku.

At this time, Hata Junliu wanted to find a scapegoat wholeheartedly. He completely refused Hejian Daisaku's request and refused.

Daisaku Hejian said patiently: "Your Excellency, Commander, I know that Kagesa Haruka did make a big mistake this time, but he can't be the only one to blame for this matter, and he has a low official position, so push the matter to him , also makes no sense.

Gao Jiu's clear-coded telegram was clearly intended to sow discord within the Huang army.In the telegram, Gao Jiu specifically pointed out that the spies had colluded with the enemy, but he didn't name anyone. It can be imagined that he was targeting Ying Zuo Zhenzhao.

Gao Jiu really deceived Yingzuo Zhenzhao this time, he spent so much effort, which shows that he is still very afraid of Yingzuo Zhenzhao.He wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of Kagesa Haruka, so he specially sent this clear-coded telegram, hoping that we could fight against each other and get rid of Kagesa Haruka for him.

I don't think we can be fooled by him. In fact, Kagezuo Zhenzhao is a very capable person. The reason why he failed was only because he was facing the world-famous gangster Gao Jiu.

To tell you the truth, I have suffered a lot in front of Gao Jiu, but this does not prevent me from continuing to fight Gao Jiu.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao is a very good espionage talent. After experiencing this disastrous defeat, he will definitely work hard and serve Huang Jun even more. Especially now, Ying Zuozhen is most familiar with the intelligence work on the entire battlefield Zhao.Killing him at this time is not conducive to the development of the battle situation.

If His Excellency the Commander can forgive him, he will definitely be grateful to the Commander, redouble his efforts, and play an important role in reversing the current war situation.

Another point is that if the Central China Front Army loses in this battle and therefore kills Kagezuo Shakiaki, it will inevitably give people the feeling that the Front Army is looking for a scapegoat, and I am afraid it will also be criticized.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao also has a lot of contacts in the domestic headquarters. If he is executed as a scapegoat, I am afraid that someone will use this matter to make a fuss. "

Hejian Daisaku used both soft and hard tactics, especially the last few words, which actually showed his attitude, that is, if Hata Toshiroku wanted to use Kagesa Haruka as a scapegoat, Hejian Daisaku would go to the Japanese army base to file a complaint.

In fact, Gao Jiu sent this coded telegram, which was equivalent to giving Hata Junliu a step down.

The clear telegram is equivalent to telling the whole world that the opponent Hata Junroku is facing this time is the world-famous Gao Jiu. Even if he is defeated, it is normal. If anyone is not convinced, he can try it instead. I don't have the guts.

Besides, what Hejian Dazuo said is not without reason.Kagezuo Zhenzhao is really a capable person, except when facing Gao Jiu, the work he has done in the past is still very effective.

Hata Toshiro thought over and over again, and decided to give Hejian Daisaku this face, he said: "Hejian-kun, since this is the case, I will not pursue Kagesa Haruka's crimes this time. You can go to Kagezuo Haruka and let him Don't carry the psychological burden and get to work immediately to provide intelligence to this ongoing campaign."

In the temporary cell, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was extremely depressed. He knew that he had no way out, and he wanted to end his life as soon as possible to avoid being humiliated.But the Japanese gendarmes kept him under strict surveillance, and he didn't even have the chance to commit suicide.

When he was in great pain, Dasaku Hejian suddenly appeared in front of him.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked in surprise: "Mr. Hejian, why are you here?"

Hejian Dazuo said: "We are good friends, I can't just ignore death, can I? I flew back from Southeast Asia on a special trip, just to rescue you."

Yingzuo Zhenzhao shook his head, sighed, and said: "Mr. Hejian, I accept your wish, but the mistake I made this time was too great, and it caused huge losses to the Huang army. The face is alive again. Since you are here, I ask you to do me a favor, and ask Your Excellency Commander to allow me to apologize by cutting open my stomach."

He Jian said with a smile: "Mr. Ying Zuo, you don't have to be so depressed. I have good news for you. Your Excellency, Commander, has forgiven your mistakes and allowed you to return to your post."

"What? How is this possible?" Yingzuo Zhenzhao heard the amazing news, his face was full of disbelief, and he felt as if he was dreaming.

Hejian Dazuo said: "This is not a place to talk, let's go out first."

Hejian Dasuo took Ying Zuozhen out and found a Japanese restaurant to shock him.

After a few glasses of wine, Kagezuo Zhen Zhao has returned to normal, and he asked Kawajian how Daisaku persuaded Hata Toshiroku.

Except for the secret communication between himself and Gao Jiu, Hejian Dasaku did not hide the incident.He said that he used Gao Jiu's telegram to convince Hata Junliu.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao looked at the plain code telegram sent by Gao Jiu, and he felt a little strange. He didn't understand why Gao Jiu sent such a plain code telegram, so he asked Hejian Dazuo for advice.

Hejian smiled and remained silent.

Yingzuo Zhenzhao seemed to realize something, he sighed, and said, "I never thought that the one who really saved me was this Gao Jiu."

Speaking of this, he plucked up his courage and said: "Since Gao Jiu gave me this opportunity, then I will fight him hard."

After Kawajian Daisaku left, Kagezuo Zhenzhao asked Hata Toshiroku to see him, and he said, "Your Excellency, Commander, thank you for your life-saving grace! I am willing to do my best for Your Excellency Commander, serving both in front of the saddle and behind the horse."

Seeing Kagesa Haruka's attitude, Hata Shunroku was quite satisfied, and he said: "Since you know you are wrong, I will not pursue it anymore. Now, you hurry up to work and provide information for our army."

Yingzuo Zhenzhao asked: "Now that the Chongqing elements have launched an offensive in the direction of Zhencheng, how do you plan to respond, Commander?"

Hata Junliu said: "What else can I do? I can't just sit back and watch the situation continue to deteriorate. I have mobilized the No.11 Division and the Third Division to the direction of Zhencheng."

Ying Zuozhen boldly said: "Your Excellency, our army has lost its opportunity in this battle. Even if we mobilize the main forces of the two divisions to head towards Zhencheng, it will be difficult to recover the decline there.

Since the main force of our army is currently concentrated in the direction of Yichang, I suggest that it is better to make mistakes and concentrate the main force of our army to launch an offensive in the direction of Yichang. If Yichang can be taken, it will be an explanation for both the top and the bottom. "

Kagezuo Zhenzhao's suggestion brightened Hata Junliu's eyes. He thought in his heart that the national army in the direction of Zhencheng has a large number of troops and the offensive is so fierce. Even if two divisions are sent there, it may not be effective.

According to Kagezuo Yoshiaki's opinion, if Yichang is really captured, the Japanese base camp should not hold the Central China Front Army accountable for its fault in this battle.

He made up his mind and said: "Mr. Ying Zuo, what you said is very reasonable. You immediately go to Yichang to collect intelligence on the enemy. The Central China Front Army will mobilize the third, sixth, No.11, and No.13 divisions Launch an offensive in the direction of Yichang with all our strength."

"Kai." Seeing that Hata Shunroku accepted his suggestion, Kagesa Haruaki's spirit lifted.

Yichang.

Commander Yang dared not be careless as the Japanese army was overwhelming the border. He personally flew to Yichang to preside over the frontline operations.

When he arrived at the headquarters of the 20th Corps, he received intelligence from the front, saying that the main divisions of the Japanese army did not transfer to the direction of Zhencheng, but continued to move towards Yichang, and there was a great possibility of capturing Yichang City attempt.

With Gao Jiu's help, Commander Yang's 20th Corps now has 3 armies and 11 divisions, with a total strength of more than 95000 troops. The weapons and equipment have also been greatly improved. It can be said that the combat effectiveness is quite strong.

But facing 10 Japanese troops, he still felt a lot of pressure.Facing the Japanese attack, the first thing he thought of was not to report to the top government officials, but to send a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu quickly replied the telegram, telling Commander Yang that he was already on his way to Yichang and would arrive soon.

Commander Yang said with emotion: "Brother Gao is such a good friend. The most correct thing I have done in my life is to make such a good friend as Brother Gao."
