The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 795 The Boss' Judgment

As soon as Zhou Mingshan entered the town, the local garrison reported to him the situation of the Japanese female spies, saying that they had surrounded the Japanese female spies in a courtyard, and they had taken some hostages, and now the two sides are confronting each other.

Zhou Mingshan led people to Jiyuan, and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 69th Army surrounded outside Jiyuan.

The battalion commander who led the team saw Zhou Mingshan and came to report to him.

Zhou Mingshan asked, "Why didn't you launch an attack?"

The battalion commander said, "There are some hostages inside."

Zhou Mingshan asked, "Who are they?"

The battalion commander said: "Not sure."

At this time, the mayor of this town said: "Sir, I have already inquired. There are some visitors from other places, and there is also a squire from this town."

Zhou Mingshan scolded: "In the face of the national crisis, these shameless guys are still enjoying themselves here. What do they have to sympathize with? Immediately rush in and arrest those two female spies."

The battalion commander has long been impatient. If the mayor hadn't been begging hard there, he would have rushed in with his people.

Now with Zhou Mingshan's order, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush in and grab those two female spies. If she dares to resist, she will be shot."

Although Zhou Mingshan already knew that these female spies were sent by the Central China Front Army, he still didn't know what their purpose was, so he needed to catch them alive. Hearing what the battalion commander said, Zhou Mingshan hurriedly said: "We must Give me a job, and if you catch it, you will be rewarded."

The battalion commander had no choice but to shout again: "Brothers, go and catch me alive, the commander will reward you heavily."

The officers and soldiers swarmed in and rushed in. At this time, bullets were fired from the inside, and two soldiers were knocked down to the ground. However, the soldiers were so numerous that they rushed in anyway.

Gunshots rang out incessantly upstairs, and after a while, the gunshots stopped.

A platoon leader who led the team rushed in ran out and said, "Report sir, the female spies were not caught, they committed suicide, and we lost several brothers in vain."

Zhou Mingshan led people up to the second floor, and saw several Guojun soldiers lying on the ground. After entering the room, he saw three women dead inside.

Zhou Mingshan didn't know what these female spies looked like. There were three female corpses inside, so he couldn't judge for a while.

So I called the old Baozi of Jiyuan and asked her to identify it.

When Lao Baozi saw the corpse on the ground, he was frightened out of his wits. Under the urging of the soldiers, he walked forward tremblingly and examined it carefully.

She said that two of the three women who died in the house were Ji daughters from their Ji Yuan, and the other one was unknown to her.

At this time, the platoon leader said: "This must be a female spy. She shot and killed our brother, and then shot herself."

Zhou Mingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "When the female spy entered this auspicious courtyard, who saw it?"

The battalion commander who followed him asked for a while, and a squad leader of the Guojun walked in.

He said: "Sir, I saw them. I was the first to find them outside the town, and I followed them all the way here."

Zhou Mingshan asked: "Did you see clearly, how many people came in at that time?"

The squad leader thought for a while and said: "Report sir, when we chased them into the town, there were indeed two people, and then we couldn't find them. Later, the female spies shot at us, and then we chased them over. Yes. When we saw them entering Jiyuan, we only saw a back."

Zhou Mingshan knew that these Guojun soldiers must have been tricked by the female spies to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The dead female spy hid one of the female spies, and he probably left the town.

At this moment, a soldier came up to report that not long ago, a messenger outside the town was killed, someone snatched his horse, and fled towards the northwest.

Zhou Mingshan was very depressed. He spent a long time trying to figure out the real purpose of the Japanese female spies, and even ran away with one.

Now that it was already dark and the female spy was riding a fast horse, it was basically impossible to catch her.

Zhou Mingshan reported the situation to the military command headquarters and asked them to be responsible for investigating the real purpose of the female spy.He also informed Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram back to Zhou Mingshan, asking him to report the situation of the Japanese female spies in as much detail as possible.

Zhou Mingshan reported to Gao Jiu in detail the Japanese female spy who was very skilled and hot.

After careful consideration, Gao Jiu thought that the enemy had only sent two female spies, and what they could do with their strength was to do things like espionage or assassination.

Thinking of this, Gao Jiu couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Based on the skill of the dead female spy, he judged that the skill of the female spy who survived the cover should be higher than that of the dead female spy.

With her skills, Gao Jiu herself would not be afraid if assassination activities were carried out, but there are so many important people in Nanyang area, including the Southwest Military Division of Shandong Province, it may be difficult for them to stop the assassination of Japanese female spies.

Thinking of this, he sent a telegram to Zhou Mingshan, asking Zhou Mingshan to notify the 41st Corps in Nanyang area and various local departments to strengthen the protection of important people.

Gao Jiu personally sent a telegram to the Southwest Military Division of Lu, asking them to do the same to protect important people.

In order to prevent Jiang Xiaomei from having an accident, Gao Jiu specially asked Ning Wen and Ning Wu to lead a team of special forces to protect her.

At this time, the boss of the military command sent a telegram to Gao Jiu. He believed that the Japanese female agents belonged to the Central China Front Army, and the Nanyang area belonged to the North China Front Army. There should not be any important targets there. The Central China Front Army went to carry out assassinations. Maybe it was aimed at Gao Jiu himself.

The big boss is indeed the big boss, and his analysis is very reasonable.

Gao Jiu has already obtained relevant information, saying that the Japanese army's super high school system has returned to the Japanese base camp and held an important meeting.

Based on the comprehensive analysis of these situations, Gao Jiu now also believes that the female agent is targeting her.

When Wang Jindong heard that someone was going to assassinate Gao Jiu, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He said: "Brother Gao, the Japanese are really insidious. They hide in the dark and it is difficult to guard against them. Be careful."

Gao Jiu said with a relaxed smile: "I'm just waiting for her to come. I want to see what kind of beautiful agents the Japanese have sent out? Just to have fun with her."

Jinan City, the headquarters of the Japanese 12th Army.

Commander Dongxiang Yoshino received the commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army. The two of them were friends from the same hometown and both belonged to the generals of the young and strong faction.

The commander of the Seventh Army made a special trip to discuss with Dongxiang Yoshino, and jointly sent troops to deal with Gao Jiu's related matters.

The commander of the Seventh Army intends to recapture the city of Zhengzhou. He hopes that Dongxiang Yoshino can send troops to attack the southwestern area of ​​Shandong and contain Gao Jiu.

Dongxiang Yoshino said that he had long had the idea of ​​attacking Southwest Shandong. He had already issued combat orders to the 141st and 142nd Divisions of the Japanese Army. It was only because those 240mm heavy mortars were intercepted by Gao Jiu that they suspended took action.

He has received a telegram from Dohihara, saying that another batch of 240mm heavy mortars has been shipped from Japan and is being shipped to Qingdao.

He suggested that the commander of the Seventh Army wait for him a little longer, and when a large number of heavy weapons arrives, he will send troops with the Seventh Army.

The commander of the Seventh Army inquired about the date when those heavy mortars would arrive in Shandong, and felt that it was within a few days of his plan, so he agreed to wait for a while.

There is another important thing for him to come to Jinan this time, and that is to ask Dongxiang Yoshino for help, and to dispatch the Third Air Force in Jinan to assist them in combat during the battle.

Now the Second Air Force in Zhengzhou has been wiped out. Gao Jiu has an air force. Without the help of the air force, there is little chance of regaining Zhengzhou.

Dongxiang Yoshino readily agreed that he would entertain the commander and chief of staff of the Third Air Force.

The commander of the Seventh Army was a little moved when he saw his old friend helping him so much, and thanked him.

However, what he didn't know was that there was actually a reason why Dongxiang Yoshino agreed to help so readily.

First of all, after the bombardment of the 12th Army Headquarters in Jinan City, he became afraid of Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu wiped out two brigades of the Japanese army in the Henan area, and also captured Zhengzhou City, which is enough to prove Gao Jiu's strong combat effectiveness.

He didn't want to send troops to fight against Gao Jiu at all. He said that he would wait for the heavy mortars to arrive before sending troops. In fact, he was delaying time. Even if the heavy mortars did arrive, he would find an excuse to continue to decline.

After all, the commander of the Seventh Army was an old friend of him and belonged to the same faction. He refused to send troops himself. If the Air Force could help, he would be worthy of his old friend.

That is why he graciously helped to invite the Commander and Chief of Staff of the Third Air Force.

Togo Yoshino personally came forward and invited the commander and chief of staff of the Third Air Force.

They all agreed to go to the banquet, but when the banquet officially started, they only saw the chief of staff of the Third Air Force.

Dongxiang Yoshino thought that the commander of the Third Air Force didn't give him face, so he pulled his face and asked, "Why are you the only one here?"

The chief of staff said with a smile: "Your Excellency, our Commander suddenly felt unwell, and he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

Dongxiang Yoshino had no choice but to accompany the commander of the Seventh Army and entertain the chief of staff of the Third Air Force.

The commander of the Seventh Army has the rank of lieutenant general, and the chief of staff of the Third Air Force is just a senior officer, but when he employs people, his attitude is very humble and he has no pretensions at all.

He not only complimented the chief of staff, but also gave him and the commander of the Third Air Force a generous gift.

Then, he revealed his own intention, that is, he hoped that the Third Air Force would participate in the Zhengzhou operation.

The chief of staff of the Third Air Force looked at Dongxiang Yoshino's face, and he also gave the commander of the Seventh Army a lot of face.He fully agreed, saying that he would report to the commander of the Third Air Force when he returned, and he would try his best to persuade the commander to cooperate with the Seventh Army.

Said that after they discussed it, they would write back to the commander of the Seventh Army.

The commander of the Seventh Army waited in Jinan City for two days, but there was still no result.

Dongxiang Yoshino helped him to press and ask. The Third Air Force said that they had not discussed it yet, and asked the commander of the Seventh Army to go back to the river first. After they discussed the results, they would report to the top of the Air Force and then report to him. answer.

The commander of the Seventh Army returned to Henan helplessly, and could not wait for news from the Third Air Force at all.

In fact, the commander of the Seventh Army invited the commander of the Third Air Force to a banquet, and he knew what it meant.

Although he was also an officer of the Young and Strong Faction, after he arrived in the Third Air Force, he heard the former officers talk a lot about Gao Jiu. They also took out a lot of money to bribe the commander, hoping that the commander would not interfere with Gao Jiujing.

At the beginning, the commander of the Third Air Force still had the idea of ​​making contributions, but when he learned that Gao Jiu had bombarded the headquarters compound of the 12th Army and that the entire Second Air Force was wiped out by Gao Jiu, He gave up the idea of ​​going to fight Gao Jiu, so he pretended to be sick and didn't go when the banquet started.

As for what the Chief of Staff said, it was purely an excuse for them to talk back to him after they discussed it.The result of their discussion was that they would not participate in the Seventh Army's operations. In order to save face for Dongxiang Yoshino, they didn't explicitly refuse, so they just delayed.

Dongxiang Yoshino also made up his mind like the commander of the Third Air Force.

The commander of the Seventh Army still had a glimmer of hope and waited foolishly for them to go back, but he also stood still for the time being.

The Seventh Japanese Army did not launch an attack on Zhengzhou City for the time being, but Gao Jiu had no patience to wait for them.

He decided to strike first and send troops to attack Luoyang City.

The Japanese female agent who escaped was named Kawara Hezi, and her companion sacrificed to cover herself, which made her very angry.

She made up her mind to get rid of Gao Jiu. Regarding Gao Jiu's situation, the head of the special high school had provided her with information.

She learned that Gao Jiu had a close relationship with Jiang Xiaomei, so after escaping, she did not go to Zhengzhou City, but went to Southwest Shandong first, and she wanted to assassinate Jiang Xiaomei to avenge her sister.

This morning, Luyuan Hezi crossed the Daqing River from Hanbaidu and headed for Zhiyuan County.

After walking not far, she met several militiamen with guns.

They stopped passers-by and asked them to show their road signs.These roads are issued by the Zhengfu at the first level of the prefecture and township. Without roads, it is impossible to pass through the base.

Luyuan Hezi saw the militiamen checking in front of her. She didn't know what they were checking, so she asked a fellow villager.

The fellow told her that she was looking for road signs, and that Luyuan Hezi could not find any road signs. She was worried that she would be exposed, so she turned around and walked back.

Seeing her acting strangely, several militiamen stopped her and wanted to interrogate her.

Luyuan Hezi knew that he couldn't stand the interrogation, so he ran away.

Seeing this situation, several militiamen immediately chased after him.
