The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 898 Digging a Pit
The reason why Komura sought the opinions of Yoshito Hamada and General Haneda was because he still wanted to preserve Togo Yoshino.Now his only thought is to sacrifice Dongxiang Yoshino, and decided to let him take the blame for using biological and chemical weapons.

He said: "I don't know about the use of biological and chemical weapons. I share the same opinion as you and disagree with this matter. Since Dongxiang Yoshino did such a thing behind our backs, then this responsibility should rest on the He does it himself."

The purpose of Yoshito Hamada and General Haneda to see Commander Komura is to sacrifice Togo Yoshino and let him be the scapegoat.With this attitude of His Excellency Commander, this matter will be much easier to deal with.

Hamada Yoshito said: "Your Excellency, Commander, what you said is very reasonable. Since Togo Yoshino is in charge of this matter, we will not interfere in this matter, and let him explain it to His Excellency Minister Doi Yuan." "

Yoshito Hamada and General Haneda returned to the office, and the two drafted a reply together and sent it to Gao Jiu.

The telegram said: "The use of biological and chemical weapons is Dongxiang Yoshino's own initiative, and we are also very angry about it. If Dongxiang Yoshino comes to the North China Front Army Command, we will secretly provide you with the exact location of his whereabouts."

After Gao Jiu received the telegram from Hamada Yoshihide, he immediately led the special force to Beiping City, where he was going to get rid of Dongxiang Yoshino.

Unexpectedly, while they were on their way, they received a call from Yoshito Hamada, saying that Dongxiang Yoshino had never come to the North China Front Army Command.Because according to the time calculation, he should have arrived a long time ago, but he still hasn't shown up until now, which shows that Dongxiang Yoshino left Jinan and said that he was going to the North China Front Army Command, which was a deceitful cover.Where he went is still unknown. If they have accurate information about Dongxiang Yoshino, they will inform Gao Jiu again.

Gao Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, this time he was played by Dongxiang Yoshino again.

Because they lost the trace of Dongxiang Yoshino, Gao Jiu and the others had no choice but to return to Taohua Mountain temporarily.

More than ten days later, Hamada Yoshito sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, telling Gao Jiu that Dongxiang Yoshino claimed that he left Jinan and went to the headquarters of the North China Front Army by car. Later, he had a car accident on the road and broke his thigh. He has now returned After leaving Japan for treatment, it is impossible to return to Jinan City in a short time.

Gao Jiu understood it completely. Dongxiang Yoshino knew that the epidemic prevention and water supply unit sent by the Kwantung Army had been wiped out. He was worried that he would cause trouble for him, so he simply hid back to Japan.

Gao Jiu was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he sent the air force to bomb the barracks of the Japanese 1nd Division, which was a temporary sigh of relief.

According to the account of Togo Yoshino's adjutant, the Japanese army's attempt to carry out biological and chemical weapons operations in the southeast of Shandong was exposed by the South Shandong Military Region, which aroused huge repercussions at home and abroad.The despicable behavior of the Japanese army was strongly spurned by the anti-Japanese people all over the world, and it caused a lot of pressure on Japan in public opinion.

In order to alleviate the bad influence in the world, Japan also needs to find a scapegoat.Although Dongxiang Yoshino fled back to Japan, he still has to take the blame.

Dongxiang Yoshino felt very wronged. This matter was clearly ordered by Dohido, but in the end the blame fell on him, Dongxiang Yoshino.

Of course Dongxiang Yoshino was not reconciled, so he went to find Maru Dohi.

As a result, Madoka directly denied the matter, saying that this matter had nothing to do with him, and was completely planned by Dongxiang Yoshino.

Until now, Dongxiang Yoshino finally understood that he had already been caught in a huge conspiracy and eventually became a scapegoat.

In order to give an explanation to the international community and to cover up the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, the Japanese base camp finally gave Dongxiang Yoshino a punishment of dismissal and investigation.Although Dongxiang Yoshino escaped the trial, he has since become a retired old man who no one cares about. This is also a heavy blow to Dongxiang Yoshino who has a strong desire for power and wants to climb up.

Although Gao Jiu couldn't kill Dongxiang Yoshino with his own hands, but Dongxiang Yoshino had already fallen to such a fate, which made Gao Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.

Regarding the final outcome of Dongxiang Yoshino, Gao Jiu is not worried.After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, even if generals like Dongxiang Yoshino had retired, they would still be tried by military courts.There have been records of the use of biological and chemical weapons, and the final outcome must be dumpling.

So Gao Jiu put this matter aside for the time being.

Dongxiang Yoshino fell, and the position of the commander of the Japanese 12th Army was vacated. Around the issue of the new commander, fierce competition was launched within the Japanese army.

Dongxiang Yoshino is one of the officers of the Young and Strong faction. Of course, the Young and Strong faction system hopes that someone from its own system can take over as the commander of the 12th Army.So they recommended a senior staff officer in the base camp.

In order to be able to control the 12th Army, the commanders of the North China Front, Komura and Yoshito Hamada, also worked hard on the selection of the commander.Yoshito Hamada came forward and recommended General Haneda to Madoka Doi.

General Haneda once served as the chief of staff in the 12th Army. He is very familiar with the situation in Shandong and has a deep foundation in the 12th Army.He is also the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and his rank is the same as that of the commander of the 12th Army. From all aspects, General Haneda is a more suitable candidate.

Doi Maru valued Yoshito Hamada very much, and decided to give him this face, so he also recommended General Haneda to the base camp.

After all, Doi Yuan is the Minister of the Army, and has great authority over the personnel arrangements of the Army.After his recommendation, the Japanese base camp finally agreed that General Haneda would be the new commander of the 12th Army.

It is not easy to be the commander of the 12th Army. In Shandong, the underground anti-Japanese armed forces are strong, and they often deal heavy blows to the Japanese troops in Shandong.That's not to mention, there is still a headache on the border of Shandong, Taohuashan, no matter who is the commander of the 12th Army, life will not be easy.

General Haneda was not worried.On the one hand, he himself is the chief of staff of the 12th Army and has good contacts in the 12th Army.On the other hand, he also knows how to deal with Gao Jiu, so the pressure is much less.

After General Haneda took office, he quickly asked Hamada Yoshihito to get in touch with Gao Jiu, meaning that he would not interfere with Gao Jiu in the future, and hoped that Gao Jiu would not trouble him.

General Haneda served as the commander of the 12th Army, and his original position of deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army became vacant.

Yoshito Hamada has always had the idea of ​​repaying General Matsuda, so he recommended General Matsuda to take over the post of deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army.General Matsuda was finally promoted to lieutenant general as well.

Gao Jiu stayed in Peach Blossom Mountain for a few days before flying to Nanyang. Accompanied by Long Guobi, he sometimes went fishing, played mahjong, and tasted delicious food. His life was very leisurely.

The new official took office with three fires.General Haneda became the commander of the 12th Army, and he also wanted to make some achievements.He wanted to mobilize troops to launch an offensive campaign against the base of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces, but he was worried that Gao Jiu would make trouble, so he sent a telegram to Hamada Yoshito to see how to solve this problem.

As long as Gao Jiu was involved, Hamada Yoshito felt a headache.He knew that Gao Jiu was in Peach Blossom Mountain now, and if the Japanese army made any major moves in Shandong, it would be difficult to prevent Gao Jiu from intervening.He had to think of a way to divert Gao Jiu's attention to other places.

Hamada Yoshito considered many options, but felt that they were not reliable enough.So I discussed with General Matsuda to see what he had in mind.

General Matsuda is now the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army. His main job is still in charge of law and order, and he is in charge of the special high school system of the entire North China Front Army.After listening to the methods Hamada Yoshito came up with, he thought that none of them were feasible.

At this moment, he had an idea in his mind, but this matter did not match his personality, so he was a little embarrassed to say it.

Hamada Yoshito saw that he hesitated to speak, and knew that General Matsuda must have a solution.He also knew that General Matsuda was a fastidious person and didn't like to engage in conspiracies.

Hamada Yoshito said: "Senior, I know you already have a solution, you can tell me your thinking, I think I will be inspired."

General Matsuda hesitated for a moment, and said, "Who do you think Gao Jiu hates the most?"

Hamada Yoshito thought for a while and said, "It should be Dongxiang Yoshino, right? But he has been dismissed now, and he is in Japan. Will Gao Jiu do anything against him?"

General Matsuda shook his head and said, "It's not Dongxiang Yoshino, but this matter has something to do with him. Think again."

Yoshito Hamada was very smart, he immediately thought that the reason why Gao Jiu hated Dongxiang Yoshino was because Dongxiang Yoshino attempted to carry out biological and chemical weapons operations in Shandong, so Gao Jiu would definitely hate people related to biological and chemical weapons. It's Tufeiyuan, and the other one is the Kwantung Army.

The last time the Kwantung Army attacked Taohua Mountain, many people from the Taohua Mountain guerrillas died. This Qiu Gaojiu will definitely not forget.This time it was the anti-epidemic water supply unit sent by the Kwantung Army. Gao Jiu would definitely hate the Kwantung Army even more.

Thinking of this, Yoshito Hamada understood, and said, "Thank you for your reminder, senior, I know what to do now."

Yoshito Hamada left General Matsuda's office, went to see Commander Komura, and told Commander Komura his idea.

Komura did not express any opinion, but said that you can figure out how to handle this matter.In fact, he agreed with Yoshito Hamada.

Yoshito Hamada reported this matter to General Haneda again, and General Haneda thought that Yoshito Hamada's idea was very ingenious.He thanked Yoshito Hamada for his support. He started to start now, preparing to launch an offensive campaign in Shandong, and only waited for Gao Jiu to leave Shandong before officially implementing the campaign plan.

On this day, Gao Jiu received a telegram from Hamada Yoshito, which said that the First Division, Ninth Division and the Second Chariot Brigade sent by the Kwantung Army were all annihilated by Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu also destroyed the epidemic prevention and water supply unit, so the Kwantung Army planned a conspiracy to retaliate against Gao Jiu, the specific content of which is unknown.

Hamada Yoshihito reminds Gao Jiu to be careful.

Yoshito Hamada wanted to dig a big hole for Gao Jiu, and at the same time dig a big hole for the Kwantung Army.He hoped that Gao Jiu could turn his attention to the Kwantung Army and fight them to the death, so that Gao Jiu's attention would not be on Shandong.

Hamada Yoshito really knew Gao Jiu, and this telegram really helped.

The Kwantung Army attacked Taohuashan, causing heavy casualties to the Taohuashan guerrillas. Gao Jiu has never forgotten this hatred.The Kwantung Army sent an anti-epidemic water supply unit to carry out biological and chemical weapons operations in the Shandong area, which also made Gao Jiu very resentful.He couldn't kill Dongxiang Yoshino with his own hands, and the anger in his heart hadn't come out yet. When he heard that the Kwantung Army was planning to plot against him again, his chest was filled with anger. He wanted to go outside the pass and teach the Kwantung Army a good lesson.

After Gao Jiu had this idea, he called Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui, and Guo Hengming over, and discussed with them about going outside the customs.

Jia Liu is Gao Jiu's assistant. When the Taohuashan guerrillas hold important meetings, Jia Liu will take notes.He knew his identity, although he attended the meeting, as long as Gao Jiu did not explicitly ask for his opinion, he would not express his opinion easily.

Jia Liu heard that Master Jiu was talking about going outside the customs with the other masters, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

He couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Master Jiu, can I interrupt?"

Gao Jiu trusted Jia Liu very much, he said, "It's okay, just say what you think."

Jia Liu said: "Jiu Ye, I think something is wrong with this matter. Yoshito Hamada is Japanese after all. Although he respects you on the surface, I'm afraid he still hates you very much in his heart. If the Kwantung Army really has something Regarding your plan, Yoshito Hamada can pretend not to know. Why did he have to inform you?

Although I can't figure out what this is for, I think there may be a conspiracy in it. "

In fact, Guo Hengming didn't want Gao Jiu to take risks outside the customs. The enemy situation there was too serious, and he was unfamiliar with the place. If he went rashly, it would be very risky.

After hearing Jia Liu's words, Guo Hengming began to think about it. He couldn't think of any conspiracy in it for a moment. He still advised Gao Jiu not to make up his mind right away, but to make a final decision after careful consideration.

He said: "Master Jiu, I think what Jia Liu said has some truth. I was wondering if Yoshito Hamada wanted you to leave Shandong by doing this. There must be a big move. In order to verify the truth of the matter, we might as well observe for a few more days to see what happened to the Japanese army in Shandong? Then we can make a judgment.”

After being reminded by Jia Liu and Guo Hengming, Gao Jiu also thought that what they said made sense.So Jia Liu was asked to send telegrams to the underground party and the Jinan station of the military command respectively, asking them to observe whether the Japanese army has made any major moves recently.
