The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 813
After Hamada Yoshito heard the news in Beiping, he was very depressed.

He knew that the Japanese made another serious mistake this time, and Gao Jiu would definitely take advantage of it.

He reported this matter to Temple Shou and his party, and suggested not to do so. He believed that the best solution was not to deal with these escaped generals, but to appease and reuse them.

Terauchi Shouichi is old and cunning, of course he understands what Hamada Yoshito said is correct, but these are all done by the commander of the Seventh Army, he doesn't want to persuade him, and he is powerless to persuade him, because he doesn't agree with him at all.

To be honest, Terauchi Shouichi looked down on those young men at all, thinking that these guys are purely a bunch of impulsive and brainless guys who only believe in iron and blood conquest and don't understand Zheng Zhihe's strategy at all.He believes that if Japan is defeated, these guys should bear the main responsibility.

Sure enough, what the commander of the Seventh Army did made the puppet soldiers very chilling.

Gao Jiu didn't deal with the captured puppet generals, but in the end they were arrested by the Japanese and their property was confiscated. He really didn't treat these puppet generals as human beings.

After the headquarters of the Sixth Army was eliminated, Li Yan, the commander of the First Division of the Sixth Army, was appointed by the Japanese as the commander of the Sixth Army.

The good thing of being promoted and getting rich fell on his head, but he didn't feel the slightest joy in his heart. Instead, he was frightened, and his sleep became unsteady.

Recently, as long as he closes his eyes, the tragic state of Cui Mingjiu in the photo will appear in front of his eyes.

He knew that the Japanese promoted him to the commander of the Sixth Army to force him to work for the Japanese.For now, let him fight Gao Jiu desperately.

Gao Jiu is famous, even among the puppet army, he is like a god of war.He is invincible, only a fool would seek death like Choi Ming Goo.

Li Yan is now very afraid of receiving orders from the Japanese to fight Gao Jiu.

The commander of the Seventh Army will not feed these puppet troops in vain.Although the troops of the Sixth Army suffered heavy losses, they also caused losses to Gao Jiu and others after all, not only in terms of personnel, but more importantly, economic losses.

He can be sure that the method Gao Jiu used to deal with Cui Mingjiu's division last time will not be used repeatedly, at least in a short period of time, because it is really not worth it, it is purely a loss-making business.

He decided to regroup and once again forced the puppet troops to attack Luoyang City.

After receiving the order, Li Yan, the new commander of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army, fell into deep distress.

Going to attack Gao Jiu had no chance of winning. If he didn't carry out the order, he would definitely be dealt with by the Japanese. For a while, he didn't know what to do.

He thought hard, and although he didn't think of any better way, he also came up with a procrastination word.

He led the brigade of the puppet army to leave the station and head towards Luoyang.

They procrastinated on the road, stopped and rested before going far, and tried their best to delay the speed of the march.

At 10:30 this morning, Li Yan ordered the troops to stop advancing and start cooking.

As soon as he entered the tent to rest, he heard a noise outside, and then two Japanese officers broke in.

The leading Japanese officer was a major combat staff officer of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army, and behind him was the captain executive officer of an infantry squadron of the Japanese Army. They led a small Japanese army to follow the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army to monitor them.

After the Japanese combat staff entered the tent, they had no manners at all. Not only did they not salute Li Yan, but they directly accused him of procrastinating and delaying the battle.

Li Yan, the commander, is at least the rank of lieutenant general, and even a small major in the Japanese army didn't take him seriously, which made him feel very angry, but there was nothing he could do about it.The puppet army is just a dog of the Japanese, what can a dog do in front of its master, only obediently obey orders.

Seeing the rudeness of the Japanese Major, several senior officers around Li Yan dared not speak out.

Li Yan explained patiently that now that the enemy's situation is unknown, he cannot march blindly. He has already sent a reconnaissance force to the front for reconnaissance.Wait until the situation is clear, and then speed up the march.

After the Japanese Major and others threatened, they left temporarily.

The senior officers in the tent complained angrily, but Li Yan could only listen and remained silent, but the anger in his chest continued unabated.

That night, the First Division of the puppet army was bombarded by the Taohuashan guerrillas, killing and injuring hundreds of people.After Li Yan left, Wang Chenglong, the new commander of the First Division, saw the heavy casualties of the troops and was worried about being surrounded by Taohuashan guerrillas, so he ordered a retreat.

The Japanese army stationed surveillance troops in units above the puppet army division. In order to prevent the puppet army from retreating, they shot and killed a deputy commander of the puppet army and several grassroots officers without the approval of the division commander Wang Chenglong, causing the puppet army to panic. their strong dissatisfaction.

When Wang Chenglong met Li Yan, he complained as soon as they met. He said: "Commander, the Japanese are really bullying people. The deputy of the second regiment is my personal adjutant who has been with me for many years. It was too much for him to be shot. If things go on like this, sooner or later I will die by their hands."

Li Yan really wanted to comfort him, but he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Wang Chenglong continued to complain there, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he even said that it was really impossible and he surrendered to Gao Jiu.

The chief of staff of the Sixth Army hurriedly reminded him to be careful in his words, lest the walls have ears.

At this moment, the Japanese army's major combat staff officer broke in. He stared at the bull's-eye and said to Wang Chenglong, the commander of the first division of the puppet army: "Your first division just exchanged fire with the enemy, why did you abandon the position and retreat without authorization?" Woolen cloth?"

Wang Chenglong argued: "The enemy army is numerous and the artillery fire is fierce. Our troops have already suffered hundreds of casualties, and we cannot resist the enemy's attack at all.

In order to avoid greater casualties, this was temporarily retreated. "

The Japanese combat staff had already learned about the situation from the Japanese troops stationed in the First Division of the Puppet Army.

He pointed to Wang Chenglong's nose and said: "You are talking nonsense. The number of enemy troops is no more than 200 at best. Although they carry heavy mortars, their numbers are limited after all. You can destroy them as long as you send troops to attack." .

But you have tens of thousands of horses, and you are afraid of the enemy and retreat without authorization. I doubt your loyalty to the Japanese Imperial Army very much. I will report to the Commander of the Seventh Army and punish you for running away. "

When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore.

He said: "Your Excellency, Major, the enemy troops who attacked them used heavy mortars, and these mortars are currently only in the hands of Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas.

Gao Jiu's troops were elusive. Without knowing the enemy's situation, Commander Wang took the initiative to lead the troops to retreat. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. "

The Japanese commander was very dissatisfied when he heard what Li Yan said.

However, Li Yan is a lieutenant general commander after all, and the Japanese army's major should not be too presumptuous.

He said: "In any case, retreating when encountering the enemy is really insulting the dignity of the Yellow Army of Japan. Such a situation will not be allowed to happen again in the future."

After saying that, he left.

Wang Chenglong gritted his teeth angrily, and complained there again.

Li Yan was in a very upset mood, so he waved his hand to let him back down first.

The chief of staff looked at Li Yan's solemn expression, and wanted to say something to comfort him, but even his own mood was extremely bad, he opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Tang Jingchen, the original Chief of Staff of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army, discussed with Gao Jiu, hoping to draw Li Yan and his troops over to enrich his new 121st Army.

Tang Jingchen and Li Yan were originally from the same army, and he has always been Li Yan's superior.

He once sent someone to find Li Yan, hoping that he would go to the Guo army with him, but Li Yan refused.

Therefore, this time he wanted to persuade Li Yan to defect to the Guo army, but he was still not sure.After all, Li Yan has now been promoted to the commander of the Sixth Army, and it is much more difficult to persuade him.

Gao Jiu doesn't think so.He said that as long as conditions permit, Li Yan is also a smart person and will make the right choice. Gao Jiu has a way to force him to surrender.

Tang Jingchen trusted Gao Jiu very much. Since Gao Jiu said he had a solution, he was of course willing to continue to try.

He asked, "Master Jiu, what should I do next?"

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about other things, I will help you complete them. You only need to do one thing, and that is to try to relieve the worries of Li Yan and the senior officers of the Sixth Army.

Tang Jingchen asked suspiciously: "What worries do you think they have?"

Gao Jiu looked at him in surprise, shook his head slightly, and said, "That's all for today's talk, you go back first."

Tang Jingchen looked at Wang Zhankui with embarrassment on his face, a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

Seeing that he was also from the puppet army, Wang Zhankui pointed him out and said, "You, how can you be so smart all your life and be so confused for a while? If Li Yan and the others go to the Guofu side, what are they most worried about? Think about Ma Zhenye and the others. Don't you understand the end?"

Tang Jingchen is also a smart person. It's not that he didn't think of this, but because Gao Jiu is a god-like existence in his mind, he really didn't expect Gao Jiu to make such a bad move.

He finally understands now that Gao Jiu is a really smart person, Gao Jiu will not say such wicked things, he can only comprehend them by himself.

He now understands what he should do, and he said to Wang Zhankui, "Thank you for your guidance, Third Master, please tell Master Jiu, I will definitely do a good job in this matter."

The left-behind office of the Sixth Army of the Puppet Army.

Staying in the city was a deputy chief of staff of the Sixth Army. He was working that day when a group of puppet troops came outside.

He knew the leader. He was the personal adjutant of Tang Jingchen, the former chief of staff of the Sixth Army, who had already surrendered to the Guo army.

He immediately realized that the situation was not good, and just as he was about to call for someone, the puppet officers and soldiers behind Tang Jingchen's adjutant had already pointed their guns at him.

Lieutenant Tang Jingchen explained the purpose of coming, and said that the deputy chief of staff also defected to the national army like so-and-so, saying that he was reserved a position as the deputy chief of staff of the newly formed 121 Army.

If he does not agree, he will now be punished as a traitor on the spot.

People under the eaves had to bow their heads.The deputy chief of staff obediently obeyed the adjutant's words.

Not long after, a convoy came out from the left-behind office. There were people in the car, including men, women and children, and a large amount of luggage.

They are the families of Li Yan and the senior generals of the Sixth Army.

This is what Gao Jiu implied that Tang Jingchen did, the way to dispel the worries of the puppet soldiers is actually to force them to go to Liangshan.

That afternoon, the First Division, Third Division, and Fourth Division of the Puppet Army's Sixth Army were bombed by the Taohuashan guerrilla air force, causing hundreds of casualties.

Immediately afterwards, the periphery of the headquarters of the Sixth Army was also bombed, but the bombs did not fall directly into the camp of the puppet army.This is Gao Jiu warning them.

The bombing this time not only caused panic among the puppet soldiers, but also aroused their dissatisfaction with the Japanese army.They did not understand why the Japanese air force did not intercept the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

That night, a patrol captured an enemy spy who claimed to be Li Yan's old friend.

The officers and soldiers of the puppet army didn't know his situation, and they didn't dare to deal with him without authorization, so they sent him to the headquarters of the Sixth Army.

Li Yan's adjutant went to see this person, and then came to see Li Yan.

The adjutant said: "Commander, Tang Jingchen sent someone here to send you a letter." As he spoke, he handed over a letter.

This letter is Tang Jingchen's own letter, the content is to persuade Li Yan and others to defect to Guojun like him, saying that they will be reused when they go to Guojun.

If he does not surrender, Gao Jiu will immediately send the air force to bombard him continuously until the headquarters of the Sixth Army is destroyed.

He also said that Gao Jiuye had already set his sights on Li Yan himself, and if Li Yan didn't follow Gao Jiu's request, he would come to Li Yan for tea in person.

After reading the letter, Li Yan's head was in unbearable pain as if it had been sawed by a saw.He was being targeted by that notorious Gao Jiu.

Everyone in the world knows that the person Gao Jiu is targeting has absolutely no way out.

Li Yan called the chief of staff, showed him Tang Jingchen's letter, and asked for his opinion.

The chief of staff also felt very embarrassed. They couldn't offend the Japanese, let alone Gao Jiu, just like a mouse in a bellows, being angry at both ends.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Gao Jiu is stronger than the Japanese, and surrendering Gao Jiu is also a way out.

The two of them couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they called all the senior officers above the division to discuss together.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese, they held a secret meeting, which was not held in the headquarters, but found a remote small courtyard.
