The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 854

So Matsuda ordered the cancellation of the operation and took them to Jinan to join General Haneda.

Jinan city.

Togo Yoshino, the commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army, suffered serious setbacks many times in order to open up the Jinpu Railway.

He believes that the final result may still be a tragic failure, so he has a very negative attitude towards implementing the combat plan formulated by the North China Front Army to capture Tai'an and open up the Jinpu Railway.

After Chief of Staff Haneda arrived in Jinan, he told Dongxiang Yoshino that Doi Yuan had sent someone to capture the younger sister and brother-in-law of Zhang Quan, the second head of Taohuashan, and Gao Jiu did not dare to participate in the battle in the direction of Tai'an.

Dongxiang Yoshino's confidence has only slightly recovered, but he is still very worried about the extremely lethal rocket artillery units owned by the enemy.After the enemy had this weapon, the infantry offensive tactics adopted by the Japanese army basically became invalid, because before the infantry attacked, the first thing to do was to gather troops, and the rocket launcher was the most lethal to a large number of assembled troops.For a while, he didn't know how to organize an attack on the enemy.

General Matsuda came to Jinan City with the advance team and told him that half of the rockets armed by the underground party had been destroyed, which increased Dongxiang Yoshino's confidence a lot.

Especially when he saw that General Matsuda, whom he had always respected, personally commanded the advance team to go deep behind the enemy to destroy the enemy's rockets. He felt a little ashamed of being afraid of the enemy.

So he cheered up and devoted himself to the implementation of the Tai'an campaign deployed by the North China Front Army.

Togo Yoshino, General Haneda, and General Matsuda also made some tactical reforms on how to launch the Tai'an Campaign.

In order to guard against the large number of enemy artillery, especially the attack of rocket launchers, they require the troops participating in the war to keep the distance as far as possible, whether it is camp garrison, artillery position setting, or infantry attack, so as to reduce casualties and weaponry when encountering shelling. material loss.

Rocket launchers and all long-range artillery have a common disadvantage, that is, they are shelling outside the line of sight, which requires a front-line command post for artillery, and the front-line command post is usually set at a distance of about 1km from the shelling target , reconnaissance and calculation of the artillery shooting elements, directing the rear artillery to shell, and then correcting according to the impact point of the shooting.

According to this feature, the Japanese army requires that every unit above the infantry brigade, whether it is in the camp, artillery position, offensive starting position, within a range of 2000 meters, especially those commanding heights, must send soldiers to monitor and prevent enemy artillery The proximity of the command post prevented the enemy's artillery from effectively shelling the Japanese army.

Not only that, Commander Komura also coordinated with the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy through Dohien, and dispatched carrier-based aircraft to participate in operations in the direction of Tai'an. The key targets were the artillery positions owned by the underground party armed forces, especially rocket launchers.

After this series of preparations, the Japanese army launched an attack in the direction of Tai'an.

After the battle started, the underground party armed forces were very passive, because they were the defensive side and their positions were fixed, which facilitated the bombing and artillery strikes of the Japanese air force.

During the movement of the Japanese army, the underground party armed forces could not accurately grasp the location of their camps and supplies and equipment, and the artillery command post was difficult to approach. Therefore, they could not exert the power of long-range artillery, especially rocket launchers, and they were very passive when the battle came up.

The Japanese army was equipped with a lot of 240mm heavy mortars, coupled with the bombing by planes in the sky, the troops in the Lunan Military Region suffered heavy casualties, and the frontier positions were continuously captured by the Japanese army.

The leaders of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong and others have basically been fighting with Gao Jiu's help for so many years. Only then did they realize that without Gao Jiu, the Japanese army put a lot of pressure on them.

Seeing that the positions around Tai'an City were constantly being breached and the scope of the defense was shrinking, the leaders of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong and others couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so they had to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping that he could speed up the process of exchanging hostages. Put into combat in the direction of Tai'an as soon as possible.

Gao Jiu and the others were going to Nanjing. Because the distance was too far, the transport plane needed to be refitted to increase the range by adding auxiliary fuel tanks. It would take a few days. They could only wait patiently for the technicians and workers of the factory to make the refit.

During this period, the military command took the lead in launching attacks on Japanese and puppet targets.

Among the military control stations, there are many military control stations that have dealt with Gao Jiu, and they all regard Gao Jiu as a friend.This matter involved the Taohuashan guerrillas, and it was a task personally deployed by the big boss. They were very active in their actions, and each selected Japanese and puppet personnel they believed to be valuable, and carried out the kidnapping operation.

The other military control stations had known for a long time that they would definitely not suffer a loss if they could deal with Gao Jiu, so they also wanted to take this opportunity to build a relationship with Gao Jiu, and they acted very hard.

The military command organization launched such a large-scale attack, which caused great panic among the Japanese and puppets.

Due to Yoshito Hamada's reminder, Madoka Doi has issued a notice to the Japanese garrisons and special high school systems in various places in advance, asking them to strengthen their precautions.Therefore, the military command side also suffered a lot of losses in the attack, with hundreds of people killed, injured and arrested.

This made the big boss of the military command feel distressed, but for Gao Jiu, the military command spared no effort and gave Gao Jiu enough face.

After Fang Yunwu, the head of the Military Command Shanghai Station, got the order from the big boss, he really wanted to do something beautiful. On the one hand, he wanted to show his skills in front of the big boss. He considers it an honor to do work.

Shanghai is one of the most important cities in China, and there are many important figures from the Japanese and puppet sides. If you catch one or two at random, it is enough to exchange Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu.

However, the Japanese spy agencies in Shanghai, the Mei Agency and No. 76, are all powerful characters. It is also very difficult and dangerous for the Military Command Shanghai Station to capture important figures from the Japanese and puppet sides.

Fang Yunwu found two Japanese generals and high-ranking officials of the puppet regime, and organized a kidnapping operation, but they were all unsuccessful. Instead, several secret agents were lost and two liaison stations were destroyed.

Fang Yunwu not only failed to complete the task, but also suffered such a big loss, and felt very angry.He really wanted to do something big and teach the Japanese a lesson, but after a while, he couldn't find a suitable target.

Fang Yunwu was very depressed and was unhappy there.

The confidential section chief of the Military Command Shanghai Station is a very beautiful woman who is also Fang Yunwu's underground lover and wife of the Anti-Japanese War. Seeing Fang Yunwu worrying there, she also used her brains there to find a way, hoping to help Fang Yunwu.

But she couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so she stayed there with Fang Yunwu in a daze.

Fang Yunwu felt restless, so he said to her, "Let's play some music."

The chief of the confidential section turned on the phonograph and put on a record, and the music sounded quickly. It played an Italian piece of music with a warm and lively tune.

She hoped that Fang Yunwu would cheer up when he heard this piece of music.

After Fang Yunwu listened for a while, he felt even more irritable.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't want this, change to something else."

The woman was very well-behaved, so she got up and changed to other records.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Fang Yunwu's mind. This thought was like a flash of lightning in the darkness. He suddenly became enlightened and said excitedly: "There is a solution."

Seeing Fang Yunwu's happy look, the woman was also happy for him, and asked in surprise: "What good idea did you come up with, please tell me quickly."

Fang Yunwu told the woman his idea, and the woman clapped her hands happily and said, "Yun Wu, your idea is really great. I never thought of it, and the Japanese probably never thought of it. They must have taken precautions. We can definitely do it." Got it."

Fang Yunwu did what he said, and immediately asked the woman to notify the backbone of the military command station to make arrangements for him.

After the establishment of the Wang puppet regime, the Axis countries headed by Germany also recognized the Wang puppet regime in order to cooperate with Japan. In the areas controlled by the Wang puppet regime, they established embassies, legations, consulates general and other overseas institutions. Besides Nanjing, they also have their offices in Shanghai.

This afternoon, the Minister, his wife and daughter of the Italian Legation in Shanghai came out of the Italian church and were about to get in the car to return to the embassy. Suddenly a truck drove up, and seven or eight strong men in plain clothes jumped out of the car. Without any explanation, they overthrew the Italian military police who were escorting the Italian minister's family, stuffed the Italian minister's family into a truck, and left quickly.

The military command Shanghai station hijacked the Italian minister and his family. This trick really exceeded the expectations of the Japanese. They really did not expect that the target of the military command would be on the Italians.

The Italian legation was established in the Japanese-occupied area, and of course the Japanese had the responsibility to protect it.

This is a serious diplomatic incident. If the envoy's family cannot be rescued quickly, it will cause great trouble to the Japanese side.

The Japanese Secret Service Mei Agency, Wang Puppet Secret Service No. 76, the Japanese Shanghai Garrison, Huang Xiejun, and the pseudo-police frantically searched for the whereabouts of the Italian minister's family.

Because Fang Yunwu and others had prepared well in advance and transferred the hostages out of the city in time, the Japanese got nothing and had to report to the Ministry of War.

Doi Yuan has received reports from various parts of the Chinese occupied area, saying that a large number of important Japanese figures have been attacked or hijacked recently, so he knew that it must be Gao Jiu who made the move.

Ever since Do Feiyuan sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu didn't reply, he began to feel uneasy.Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu's energy was so great that the entire military command organization took action.

So far, more than [-] important Japanese figures and their families have been abducted by the military command. The Taohuashan guerrillas have also kidnapped more than a dozen important Japanese figures.

This puts a lot of pressure on the soil and fertilizer personnel.

Tu Feiyuan couldn't laugh or cry now, and some didn't know how to clean up this mess.Because he sent people to arrest Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu, this matter was carried out in secret, and the Japanese and puppets did not know the ins and outs of the matter. All the pressure will be directed at him.

The Italian minister's family was hijacked in Shanghai, and the Italian side immediately put pressure on the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to let them rescue the Italian minister's family.

Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will find Doi Yuan and ask him to supervise the matter.

Tu Feiyuan couldn't hold on now, and Gao Jiu hadn't heard back for a long time, so he might continue to take action, and God knows what big troubles he would make.

Do Feiyuan couldn't sit still anymore, and sent a telegram to Gao Jiu again, hoping to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

Unfortunately, Gao Jiu still ignored him.

Dohimoto was very helpless, so he sent a telegram to Yoshihiro Hamada, asking him to try to get in touch with Gao Jiu, and the two sides negotiated to resolve the matter.

Yoshito Hamada and Commander Gangcun were very emotional about this incident. Although they had already guessed that Gao Jiu would take hostages to replace them, they did not expect that Gao Jiu would make such a big commotion.

It seemed that Gao Jiu was very concerned about his subordinates, and for their safety, he did not hesitate to make such a big commotion.

Now that Gao Jiu had the bargaining chip in his hands, Doi Yuan was completely passive. Now it was not a question of whether Gao Jiu wanted to change, but Doi Yuan began to beg Gao Jiu to change.

Not only that, Gao Jiu is really a person who keeps his word.This time Hamada Yoshihito notified Gao Jiu in advance, so neither the military command nor Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas took hostages on the territory of the North China Front Army, which fully gave Gang Village Commander and Hamada Yoshihito To face.This requires the North China Front Army to give Gao Jiu an explanation.

Komura asked: "Hamada-kun, the arrest of the Taohuashan guerrillas was done by members of the Shandong 12th Army after all. What kind of request do you think Gao Jiu will make?"

Yoshito Hamada said: "Your Excellency, the hostages must be exchanged, but Gao Jiu will never let it go. When they hijacked Liang Shihu and Zhang Qiaoyun, they also killed the Taohuashan guerrillas. I guess , Gao Jiu will definitely ask us to hand over all the super high-level personnel who participated in this operation.

This matter is a big trouble for us, and measures must be taken as soon as possible.

Gang Cun was very angry, because if Gao Jiu forced him to hand over those personnel who participated in the kidnapping of Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu's super high class, he would have no place to put his face as a commander.However, he was very helpless. If he did not meet Gao Jiu's request, he did not know what kind of more drastic measures Gao Jiu would take. By then, more Japanese soldiers would suffer.
