The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 903 Raising a cat is not easy

After leaving the army, Zhou Mingshan brought his family to the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu arranged for him to take over Lin Yanni's job, but Zhou Mingshan refused. He insisted that Lin Yanni be the head of the intelligence department, and he, as a deputy, went all out to cooperate with Lin Yanni's work.

Gao Jiu understood his feelings and his concerns, so he didn't object anymore.Since then, Zhou Mingshan has been responsible for the intelligence work of the Golden Triangle.

Zhou Mingshan is very satisfied with his new position. No matter the housing, wages and benefits are much better than when he was in the military command, his family has also given arrangements.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, what he values ​​most is Gao Jiu's trust in him.

In order to live up to Gao Jiu's trust in him, after serving as the deputy director of the intelligence department, he devoted himself to his work and worked hard. He quickly became familiar with and mastered the work of the Golden Triangle Intelligence Department, which greatly eased Lin Yanni's burden. pressure.

Lin Yanni was very satisfied with Zhou Mingshan's work ability and work attitude, and praised Gao Jiu for being good at people, saying that Zhou Mingshan was trustworthy.

Wang Zhankui's wife has always been at home with her husband and children. She saw that Gao Jiu's family members were all holding important positions, and she also had the idea of ​​coming out to work, so she made a request to Wang Zhankui.

Wang Zhankui is the No. 3 figure in the Taohuashan guerrillas. Regardless of status and wealth, he can make his women live a luxurious life.

He was reluctant to let her go out to work, so he said to her: "Master Jiu's family members have all attended foreign schools, and they are all educated people. You don't have much education, what can you do when you go out? You should stay at home honestly."

His wife did not dare to disobey Wang Zhankui, but she was a little unwilling, so she went to Ouyang Xue quietly, hoping that she would come forward to help her intercede, and come out to work.

Ouyang Xue told Gao Jiu about this matter, Gao Jiu said it was inconvenient for him to intervene in this matter, he asked Ouyang Xue to go directly to Wang Zhankui, and if Wang Zhankui did not object, he would arrange a suitable job for his wife.

Of course Ouyang Xue would not interfere with Wang Zhankui's family affairs, but after all she accepted Wang Zhankui's wife's request and considered the issue from a woman's point of view, so she went to Wang Zhankui.

She first declared that Master Jiu and she would not interfere with Wang Zhankui's family affairs, but from a woman's point of view, if she could come out to work, she would be able to see more of the world, stay in the society, increase her knowledge, and help deal with family relations.She hoped that Wang Zhankui would think about it.

To be honest, Wang Zhankui is also very envious of how excellent Jiu Ye's family is.Although his wife is not inferior in appearance, there is still a big gap in knowledge and insight.He also hopes that his wife can be as outstanding as Master Jiu's family.

After hearing Ouyang Xue's persuasion, he was a little tempted, so he agreed to let his wife go out for a try.

Ouyang Xue was very happy and said that she would definitely arrange a suitable position for Wang Zhankui's wife.

Yang Sixian followed Gao Jiu to the Golden Triangle and served as the director of the Geological Bureau.While organizing a comprehensive survey of the mineral resources in the Golden Triangle area, he organized a surveying team to redraw the map of the Golden Triangle area.

Yang Sixian is knowledgeable, sincere and a good conversation partner.Gao Jiu sometimes invites him to go fishing, chat and relax.

Long Guobi liked the cat raised by Yang Sixian very much. Yang Sixian came to the Golden Triangle this time, and of course he brought the cat with him.

The cat is always by Yang Sixian's side, and fishing with its owner is one of its favorite activities.

Every time Long Guobi saw the kitten squatting by the water, staring intently at the water, she couldn't help laughing.

Because he likes the cat raised by Yang Sixian, Long Guobi decides to raise one himself.

She asked Gao Jiu for advice, and of course Gao Jiu would not interfere with her matters, he said with a smile: "It is not very difficult to raise a cat, but if you want to raise a cat like Dr. Yang's Like a cat, it will be difficult, it will require great patience, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Long Guobi said unconvinced: "I don't believe it anymore. If Dr. Yang can raise such a kitten, I can do it too."

Long Guobi did what she said, and in order to prove that she could raise a kitten well, she also specially selected the same breed as the cat raised by Yang Sixian, and then took care of it meticulously.

Gao Jiu is right, it is really not easy to train a kitten well.Yang Sixian is very patient with his cat. He plays with it every day, prepares food for it meticulously, and even chats with the kitten.No matter whether the kitten can understand it or not, it can also feel the closeness from Yang Sixian to it.

Long Guobi really didn't have that kind of patience. When preparing food, she naturally didn't need to do it by herself.

At the beginning, she was very interested in feeding the kitten, combing its hair, and doing some trivial things, but gradually she lost patience.

As a result, the kitten only recognizes the family, but is very indifferent to its owner, and from time to time ignores it, and even has a little temper.

Once Long Guobi greeted the kitten in front of Gao Jiu and others, but unexpectedly the kitten would ignore it, which made Long Guobi very embarrassed.

Gao Jiu couldn't help laughing, but he would never tease him at this time, lest Long Guobi be embarrassed.

The days in the Golden Triangle are relaxed and comfortable, but this is not in line with Gao Jiu's character.He still liked the blood-boiling battlefield, so he began to think about how to teach the devils a lesson.

Before Gao Jiu could make up his mind, Liao Tong, the commander of the Yuanzheng Army, and Liu Zhanying, the chief of staff, came to Mawan City. They reported the bad news to Gao Jiu that the troops of the Yuanzheng Army were going back to China.

The reason why Yuan Zheng's army went abroad to fight was that they entered Southeast Asia at the invitation of Britain, the United States and other countries.With the rise of the Golden Triangle, the Yuanzheng Army has gradually lost their main purpose of fighting in Southeast Asia. Guofu still provides a large amount of funds for the Yuanzheng Army's troops every year, so they decided to transfer the Yuanzheng Army's troops back. In China, it was temporarily assigned to the fifth war zone to participate in the Battle of Hengbao.

This is really bad news for Gao Jiu.Now the 38th and 30th Divisions of the Yuanzheng Army are stationed at the southern border of the Golden Triangle, and they are one of the important barriers of the Golden Triangle. If they leave, Gao Jiu will have to invest a lot of troops to strengthen the guards in the southern part of the Golden Triangle.In addition to the Taohuashan guerrillas in the Golden Triangle, there are construction workers' self-defense forces and border guards. The total strength is not many.

With the departure of the Yuanzheng army, Gao Jiu had to re-establish the border guards to strengthen the defense of the southern border area.

Because the news provided by Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others was too sudden, Gao Jiu had no time to prepare.

Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying got along very well with Gao Jiu here. Gao Jiu took great care of them and gave them great support no matter in terms of weapons and equipment, funds and other supplies, so they were unwilling to leave.

They came to Gao Jiu because they hoped that Gao Jiu could communicate with the Guofu and allow them to stay here.

Seeing that the War of Resistance Against Japan was coming to an end, Gao Jiu was unwilling to have more contact with the Guofu side, so he did not communicate with the Guofu side, but directly sent a telegram to the Chief of the Fifth War Zone, hoping that they could postpone it. The mobilization of the Yuanzheng Army bought time for Gao Jiu to expand the border guards.

Gao Jiu had been assigned to fight with the troops of the Fifth Theater many times before, and he had established a deep relationship with the chiefs of the Minister's Department.They supported Gao Jiu's request, but hoped that Gao Jiu could provide them with some 107mm rocket launchers and 122mm howitzers.

Gao Jiu also agreed, and the two sides reached an agreement that the Yuanzheng Army's troops would continue to stay in place for three months.

For such a result, Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying felt a little regretful, but it was much better than sending them back to China immediately.

Gao Jiu discussed with them that he was going to join forces with the Yuanzheng Army to launch an offensive in Southeast Asia, gain some military exploits for the Yuanzheng Army's troops, and seize some supplies along the way.

Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying knew that this was the last battle with Gao Jiu in Southeast Asia. They cherished this opportunity very much and said that they would prepare for battle immediately after returning and wait for Gao Jiu to arrive before launching an attack on the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu found Wang Zhankui and Guo Hengming, informed them that the Yuan Zheng Army troops were about to withdraw from the Golden Triangle, and asked Wang Zhankui to expand the number of border guards by 5000.

At the same time, make preparations to cooperate with the Yuanzheng Army to launch offensive operations against the Japanese army on the northern border of Thailand.

The armed forces of the Golden Triangle mainly include the Taohuashan guerrillas, the construction workers' self-defense force and the border guards.There is a certain difference in the treatment among the three. The best treatment is the Taohuashan Guerrillas, followed by the Construction Workers Self-Defense Force, and then the Border Guards.

Taohuashan guerrillas have extremely high requirements for recruitment, and it is difficult for ordinary people to meet the corresponding conditions.Therefore, young people in the Golden Triangle area do not have much hope for joining the Peach Blossom Mountain Tour Team.The recruitment conditions for the Construction Workers' Self-Defense Force are also very strict, and the number of places is also strictly limited, making it difficult for ordinary people to join.

The best hope young people hold is to join the Border Guard.Although the requirements for the border guards are relatively low, they are only compared with the Taohuashan guerrillas and the construction workers' self-defense forces. In fact, they are much stricter than the general Guojun troops, not only in terms of physical fitness and education. There are very high requirements, and there must be guarantees from the local administrative department with more than three neighbors.

To be a member of the border guards, the salary is very generous, more than twice that of ordinary workers.Not only that, but their families will receive preferential treatment in all aspects.If they can be awarded for their meritorious service, they will receive various subsidies and rewards from the local Zhengzheng department. It can be said that one person enlists in the army and the whole family is honored.

The Border Guard announced the recruitment of 5000 new members at once, which immediately set off a wave of joining the army in the Golden Triangle.

The young people seized the time, prepared various materials, and signed up quickly.Although 5000 places sounds like a lot, but the number of people who signed up is still unknown. Whoever can sign up first will naturally have priority in the selection process, and the chance of being finally selected will be much higher.

After the announcement of the opening time for registration, a large number of young people who signed up came in just three days, and Wang Zhankui had to urgently order to stop the registration.Even so, the number of applicants reached 19.

After a week of selection, 5000 members of the Border Self-Defense Force were finally recruited, and Li Chengwu was in charge of the training.

At the same time, Gao Jiu and the others were also ready to send troops.This time, Gao Jiu and Guo Hengming led five squadrons of Taohuashan guerrillas, all of which were mechanized troops.They rushed to the station of the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army, preparing to launch an offensive campaign against the Japanese army in Thailand.

Wang Guimin had already arrived at the Yuanzheng army's garrison in advance, and worked out a battle plan with Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others.This time they chose the 65th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in northern Thailand. The goal this time was to drive the Japanese army out of Thailand and relieve the Japanese threat to the southern part of the Golden Triangle.

Under normal circumstances, it is not too difficult for the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Yuanzheng army to defeat or drive away the Japanese army. The two sides are basically equal in terms of strength, and they completely crush the Japanese army in terms of weapons and equipment. What's more, you can get the support of the Taohuashan guerrilla air force at any time.

The difficulty is that the area defended by the 65th Division of the Japanese Army is a mining area. There are Thailand's largest coal mines, tin mines, and copper mines.

For these important economic goals, the Japanese army invested a lot of money, built many fortifications on the mountain, and dug many tunnels, and even some entire mountains were hollowed out.

For these Japanese troops hiding in the tunnels, artillery and aircraft bombing are hardly a threat.If it is attacked by force, it will cause heavy losses.

Gao Jiu felt a headache after listening to the report of Wang Guimin and others.

To be honest, he was very reluctant to fight this battle, which was purely gnawing hard bones.If they were to attack by force, the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas and the Yuanzheng Army's troops would probably lose at least half of their troops.This is obviously a battle that is not worth the candle.

Gao Jiu consulted Guo Hengming, Liao Tong, and Liu Zhanying to see if they should give up the battle altogether.

Both Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying felt very embarrassed, because they had already reported this matter to Shangfeng. If they let it go, it would have a great impact on Yuan Zheng's reputation. their future.So they still hope to continue this campaign.

Guo Hengming also wanted to fight this battle. He said, "Master Jiu, the Devil's 65th Division is less than 50 kilometers away from the southern border of the Golden Triangle, and it will threaten our border security at any time. If the Yuanzheng Army's troops withdraw, we will The pressure is too great. If these devils can be driven away and handed over to the Thai army to garrison, our southern border can basically rest easy."
