The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 815 The pie in the sky

Gao Jiu still welcomes the Japanese army's willingness to surrender, which will not only avoid a large number of casualties of the anti-Japanese armed forces, but also help to disintegrate the enemy army in the future.

Of course, it can save a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Gao Jiu immediately agreed to the surrender of the Japanese army, and promised to hold a surrender ceremony for them and retain their basic dignity.Officers were allowed to carry guns and command knives without confiscating the winged flags of their troops.

After receiving such protection, the chief of staff was very grateful, and immediately returned to the Japanese position and reported to the division commander.

Soon after, the division chief of the Japanese army led the senior officers to come out first, and then all the Japanese troops surrendered.

The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army were shocked to see that the arrogant Japanese army was so vulnerable in front of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

This time they personally participated in the battle against the Japanese army, and repelled the Japanese attack many times, building up their confidence in the Japanese army's operations.

Facing such a major victory, the officers and soldiers burst into cheers.

The 39th Division of the Japanese Army was annihilated. All parties in the anti-Japanese forces were very happy. Anyway, the entire Sixth Army joined the Guo Army. This was a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet forces. reports.

Among them, the happiest one is of course the 41st Corps of the Guojun, which has increased by nearly 3 horses, and the strength of the Corps has been greatly enhanced.

Commander Wang gave great importance to the senior generals of the Sixth Army who surrendered. Li Yan served as the deputy commander of the new 121st Army, and other senior generals also held corresponding positions.

At this moment, some people are not happy, or feel that there is a fly in the ointment while being happy.

On this day, the person in charge of the underground party came to meet Gao Jiu in a hurry. He was also accompanied by a person in charge of the enemy industry department of the underground party in the Henan direction. After seeing Gao Jiu, they exchanged a few words briefly. This sentence explains their purpose.

It turns out that the underground party in the river disaster has already carried out a lot of instigating work among the puppet army. Among them, many underground party members have been developed in the Sixth Army. They originally wanted to win some of the Sixth Army to revolt and join the underground. On the party side, Gao Jiu took the lead and mobilized these people to join the Guo army.

The person in charge of the Henan Underground Party's Enemy Industry Department hopes that Gao Jiu can do the work of the 41st Corps, so that the troops controlled by the underground party in the Sixth Army will leave the 41st Corps and join the underground party.

Gao Jiu understood the feelings of the underground party, so he went to find Wang Jindong, and then went to see Commander Wang together, and told him the whole story.

When Commander Wang heard this, he felt a little unhappy, but he must give Gao Jiu face, and he also heard that the underground party did not have many personnel in the Sixth Army, so he agreed to the underground party. request.

One regiment of the Sixth Army had already been controlled by the underground party, and the whole regiment broke away from the new 41st Army of the 121st Corps and joined the underground party.

The underground party in the river disaster is sincerely grateful for Gao Jiu's help.

Gao Jiu came here this time to fight devils. The 41st Corps was strong and strong. Gao Jiu discussed with Commander Wang and Wang Jindong and others, and planned to attack the 40th Division of the Japanese Army. As a result, the Japanese army withdrew 200km in one breath after hearing the news.

Although the 41st Corps did not have the 40th Division that could annihilate the Japanese army, they took the opportunity to occupy a large area of ​​land abandoned by the Japanese army and strengthened the strength of the 41st Corps.

In order to consolidate the achievements made at this stage, the 41st Corps had no intention of continuing to attack the Japanese army, and soon left Henan temporarily and came to the Lunan Military Region.

After the Japanese 141st Division reoccupied Tai'an, in order to open up the Jinpu Railway, they often sent troops to attack the underground party troops of the Lunan Military Region, occupied some areas on both sides of the railway, and covered the Japanese railway to rush to repair the Jinpu Railway.

The Lunan Military Region received instructions from the superiors of the underground party that the Jinpu Railway should not be opened to traffic in any case, and they were required to continue to launch sabotage and sabotage the enemy's work to repair the Jinpu Railway.

On this day, the superior organization of the underground party sent a telegram saying that in order to open up the Jinpu Railway, the Japanese army dispatched troops from the Fourth Division of the Second Group Army of the Shandong Puppet Army to station along the railway near Tai'an City to strengthen the protection of the Jinpu Railway.

The leaders of the underground party of the Lunan Military Region, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong, Chen John and others, originally felt very troubled by the 141st Division of the Japanese Army in their base area. If there is another puppet division of the division, their pressure It's even bigger.

Therefore, they hoped that Gao Jiu would help fight against the Fourth Division of the Puppet Army.

Seeing the worried look of the underground party leader and others, Gao Jiu couldn't help laughing.

Wei Liming, commander of the [-]th Division of the Puppet Army, is Gao Jiu's old friend. The [-]th Division's arrival here is not so much an increase in the Japanese army's strength, but Gao Jiu's addition of a powerful armed force.

Wei Liming led the troops on a long-distance march. He was cautious on the road, for fear of being ambushed by the anti-Japanese armed forces.After they traveled all the way south and arrived in Jinan, they received a telegram from Gao Jiu, so they continued to march with confidence and boldly, and entered Tai'an City smoothly.

A few days later, Wei Liming received Gao Jiu's telegram again. He changed into plain clothes, took a few entourages, and quietly left Tai'an City to meet Gao Jiu in the suburbs.

Wei Liming met Gao Jiu for the first time many years ago, and he was forced to meet him because he was afraid of him.

Now Gao Jiu is more than ten times stronger than before, Wei Liming received Gao Jiu's telegram, so naturally he dared not come out to meet him.

Of course, they can be said to be old friends now. When meeting Gao Jiu, Wei Liming's mood was quite different from before.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Jiu began to tell him about the situation of the World Anti-Japanese War, pointing out that the Japanese army has gradually come to an end, and it is because the rabbit's tail can no longer grow.

He hoped that Wei Liming would recognize the situation and join the anti-Japanese camp as soon as possible.

Compared with the past, the power of the Japanese has weakened a lot, and Wei Liming can see this very clearly.

Regarding the river disaster, the Sixth Army of the puppet army surrendered to the Guo army. This incident greatly touched Wei Liming. He already had the idea of ​​leaving the Japanese side and joining the anti-Japanese armed forces.

Gao Jiu persuaded Wei Liming to take advantage of this opportunity to come to Tai'an to fight back against the Japanese army and join the anti-Japanese ranks.

Wei Liming was very concerned about the treatment he would receive if he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. He hoped to join the Guojun side like the Sixth Army.

The Sixth Army joined the Guo army and was forced to go to Liangshan.

Wei Liming is different, he trusts Gao Jiu very much, so Gao Jiu's opinion has great influence on him.

Gao Jiu persuaded him to choose to defect to the underground party. Wei Liming was a little puzzled. He thought that the Guofu side was powerful and recognized as the legal Zheng Quan at this stage.He believes that the strength of the underground party is too weak, so he hopes to join the Guo army.

Gao Jiu was familiar with the direction of history. He analyzed to Wei Liming the future problems he would face after the War of Resistance, and quietly told him the true direction of history in the future.

Wei Liming couldn't see so far, but he trusted Gao Jiu very much. He was willing to follow Gao Jiu's advice, but he made a request to Gao Jiu. Leave a way out for him and his brothers in the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu readily agreed.

Wei Liming believed in Gao Jiu's promise, so he decided to go back to discuss with his generals and mobilize them to follow the path Gao Jiu pointed out.

Wei Liming returned to Tai'an City, secretly summoned his senior officers, and told them Gao Jiu's opinion.

In the end, everyone chose to trust Gao Jiu, so they started the preparations in advance.

In order to relieve the worries of the officers of the Fourth Division, Gao Jiu sent Li Chengwu to lead the Taohuashan guerrillas to follow Wei Liming's adjutant to the Northeast of Shandong to transfer their families and property.

Up to now, Gao Jiu has been sure about the uprising of the Fourth Division of the Puppet Army.

So he called the leaders of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Yuehan, Chen Zhiyong and others, and told them the good news that the Fourth Division of the Puppet Army was preparing to revolt and join the underground party.

Everyone really didn't expect that there would be a good thing in the sky. The puppet army who originally attacked one of their divisions was willing to defect to the underground party. This would greatly increase the armed forces of the underground party in Southwest Shandong.

Everyone was overjoyed and thanked Gao Jiu.

Next, Wei Liming went out of the city again, and had talks with the head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others, and discussed matters related to the surrender of the Fourth Division of the Puppet Army.

The Lunan Military Region consulted with the superiors of the underground party, and the superiors also attached great importance to this matter.

In order to appease the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, he promised to appoint Wei Liming, the commander of the Division, as the first deputy commander of the Lunan Military Region after the uprising of the Fourth Division, and other officers will also be assigned corresponding positions.

After the matter was settled, Gao Jiu formulated a battle plan to attack Tai'an City.

Terauchi Shouichi still attached great importance to the opening of the Jinpu Railway. He knew that Gao Jiu had a great influence in the Japanese and puppet troops in the southern Shandong area, so he specially transferred the Fourth Division from the far northeastern Shandong area. He thinks that this army has nothing to do with Gao Jiu, so as to ensure that this army can fight Gao Jiu seriously.

After the troops of the 141th Division of the Puppet Army entered Tai'an City, the commander of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army requested that the rest of the troops of the [-]th Division leave Tai'an City and be stationed in Jinpu, except for the division headquarters. sides of the railway.

Wei Liming used the excuse that the troops needed to replenish supplies, and postponed the departure of the fourth division troops from Tai'an City by five days, and then reported the situation to Gao Jiu.

After deliberation, Gao Jiu made up his mind to attack Tai'an City, and planned to start the operation at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.

After the Fourth Division of the Puppet Army entered Tai'an City, the east gate and south gate of Tai'an City were handed over to the Fourth Division to guard.

Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming led the Taohuashan guerrillas, disguised as puppet troops, and entered Tai'an City under the support of the Fourth Division. Together with the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, they cooperated with the main force of the underground party to attack Tai'an City.

In order to capture Tai'an City, the underground Lunan Military Region mobilized the Southwest Independent Brigade, the Second Independent Brigade in Southeast Shandong, four garrison regiments, and nine county brigades, with a total strength of more than 1 troops.

These are most of the properties of the Lunan Military Region. The leaders of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong and others did not feel nervous, because with Gao Jiu around, they were full of confidence to win.

It gets dark early in early spring, and it is completely dark by 8 pm.

Gao Jiu and others led the brigade and began to march towards Tai'an City.

At 02:30 in the morning, the south gate of Tai'an City opened, and Wei Liming, the commander of the Fourth Division of the Public Security Army, personally greeted the brigade led by Gao Jiu and others at the gate, and entered Tai'an City.

At 3:40 in the morning, a Japanese patrol passed the gate of the 141st Division.

About 10 minutes after they walked out, a Japanese patrol came over.

The Japanese sentinel standing guard at the gate felt a little strange. Tai'an City is very big. It usually takes about 50 minutes for the Japanese patrol to pass the gate of the headquarters. He didn't understand why the patrol came so quickly.

Seeing the Japanese patrol team approaching the gate, the Japanese sentry was very alert and asked, "Password."

The second lieutenant officer who led the Japanese patrol team replied: "Under Mount Fuji, return the order."

The Japanese sentry replied: "The cherry blossoms are in full bloom."

Although he was a little vigilant, there were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers stationed in the city, and there was also a division of puppet troops. In addition, the other party answered the password correctly, so he didn't think too much, just asked: "Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant, what do you have?" What's the matter?"

The second lieutenant of the Japanese army said, "I'm here to deliver urgent documents." As he spoke, he opened the purse he was carrying.

The Japanese sentinel thought he was going to take out some documents from it, so he stepped forward to check, but saw the Japanese second lieutenant took out a pistol from his leather bag.

The sentry's eyes widened, and just as he was about to shout, the second lieutenant had already fired.

The pistol with the silencer installed made a light plop, and the two Japanese sentries fell down without a sound.

The second lieutenant of the Japanese army quickly rushed into the gate of the headquarters. They first eliminated the Japanese soldiers in the duty room next to the gate, and then took out their flashlights and drew a circle outside the gate.

Soon, a large number of Taohuashan guerrilla members wearing the uniforms of the public security army rushed into the Japanese headquarters. In order to avoid misunderstanding, they threw off their hats and put on the combat caps of Taohuashan guerrillas. The top, revealing the black uniform of the Taohuashan guerrillas inside.

The same scene happened in various important units of the Japanese army in the city.

In front of the office building of the Japanese headquarters, guerrillas disguised as Japanese patrols followed suit and destroyed the Japanese sentinels.

Just as they pushed open the gate, they were discovered by Japanese sentries who came to change the guard. They fired shots to call the police, and the battle started, and soon the entire city of Tai'an was full of gunshots.

The Taohuashan guerrillas who entered the headquarters building, according to the blueprint provided to them by Wei Liming, quickly rushed to the target they had been optimistic about in advance.
