The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 973 Master Nine Wants to Attack Jinan
The commander of the second division and the chief of staff were very disappointed, but there was nothing they could do.After discussion, he finally decided to lead all the troops of the Second Division of the Public Security Army to defect to the underground party Lunan Military Region.The Second Division of the Public Security Army was reorganized into the Second Independent Division of the Lunan Military Region.

The Lunan Military Region added another division. The head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others were very happy, and sent a telegram to Gao Jiu to express their gratitude.

The reason why Gao Jiu wanted to help the underground anti-Japanese armed forces of the Lunan Military Region complete the task of splitting and disintegrating the puppet army was to weaken the strength of the Japanese army on the one hand, and to implement his next plan. The main purpose was to attack the city. Inside the 112th Division of the Japanese Army.

The anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party in the area where the 112th Division is located were the underground party’s Northeast Army Division and the head of the underground party who asked their superiors for instructions. This time the battle was jointly completed by the Taohuashan Guerrillas, the Northeast Shandong Army Division, and the South Shandong Military Region.

In order to ensure the victory of this battle, the underground anti-Japanese armed forces transferred Zhao Wannian's independent division from the Lubei Military Region.This time, half of the troops participating in the attack on the Japanese army were the original security forces.

The significance of this incident is great in itself, and it can further deepen the Japanese army's distrust of the security forces.

This time Gao Jiu did not personally participate in the battle, but Wang Zhankui and Wang Guimin were in charge.

Gao Jiu also left Taohua Mountain with Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others.He has other things to do.

The outskirts of Jinan.

This afternoon, the sky was gray, and a freight truck drove over from the direction of Jinan City. The truck drove along the Jizheng Highway, reached a fork in the road, and turned onto a country road.

Soon after, several Taohuashan guerrilla cavalry in black uniforms appeared on the road, and the truck stopped.

A middle-aged man came down from the driver's cab, and said to the cavalryman on the horse with a smile on his face, "Brother Ningwu, where is Master Jiu?"

Ning Wu got off his horse, went forward to meet him, and said with a smile: "Master Xu, please come with me."

Xu Zhongming followed Ning Wu to a melon shed in the field, and saw Gao Jiu chatting with an old farmer there.

Seeing Xu Zhongming coming, Gao Jiu gave the old farmer two oceans and told him to go out for a walk and come back after everyone left.

The old farmer was very happy, thanked him and left.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Master Xu, I haven't seen you for a while, how have you been recently?"

Xu Zhongming smiled and said, "Thanks to Master Nine, the little devils are now being checked very closely in Jinan City, and I haven't gone out for many days."

Xu Zhongming was joking. Ever since Gao Jiu and the others made such a big commotion outside, the Japanese army had shrunk a large number of troops into Jinan City. The activities of the Japanese and puppet secret agencies were rampant, so Xu Zhongming and the others had to be more careful.

Gao Jiu picked up a watermelon and said to Xu Zhongming, "I picked this myself. Come and see how good I am?" After speaking, he picked up the melon-cutting knife from the melon shed and cut the watermelon open.

The watermelon is red and looks very attractive.

Xu Zhongming picked up a piece, took two bites, and praised: "Not bad, sandy, very sweet. I think you are really a god, you can do anything."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Zhongming said, "Master Jiu, I brought you the information you asked me to obtain."

Gao Jiu received the information, read it for a while, and said, "There are quite a lot of little devils in Jinan City!"

Xu Zhongming said with some concern: "Master Jiu, if you want to attack Jinan City, it may be quite difficult."

It turned out that Gao Jiu planned to fight a big battle in Shandong, and the target was on Jinan City.He grew up in Jinan City since he was a child, and it has been a long-standing wish for him to take down Jinan City with his own hands.

Gao Jiu said firmly: "No matter how difficult it is to fight, we must take it down. Station Master Xu, you must be more careful during this time. In order to defend Jinan City, the little devil will definitely strengthen internal control." Xu Zhongming said: " Don't worry. I'm an old Jinan, so there won't be any problems. We all hope that Gao Jiuye can take down Jinan City, and we won't have to live in such a sneaky way anymore."

After Xu Zhongming left, Gao Jiu met the intelligence personnel of the Jinan underground party and Bao Yuchun, and got a comprehensive understanding of the enemy situation in Jinan city, and then returned to Taohuashan.

The head of the underground party, Wang Jindong, received a telegram from Gao Jiu and arrived at Taohuashan.

Hearing that Gao Jiu was going to attack Jinan City, everyone felt very excited, especially the leader of the underground party.When the Anti-Japanese War began, he was engaged in underground work in Jinan City, witnessed the arrogance of the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinan City, and had long hoped to liberate this provincial capital city from the rule of the Japanese invaders.He raised his hands in favor of Gao Jiu's proposal.

Although Wang Jindong is currently in a river disaster, it is said that he does not have much to do with taking down Jinan City, but their Iron Triangle has always advanced and retreated together, so they also support Gao Jiu's proposal.

Everyone discussed that after Wang Zhankui and the others finished the battle to encircle and wipe out the 112th Division of the Japanese Army, they would launch an offensive campaign against Jinan.

The person in charge of the underground party reported the battle plan for attacking Jinan City to his superiors. The superiors strongly supported them and decided to mobilize all the main forces of the Lunan Military Region and Lubei Military Region to participate in this battle. Launched an attack on the Japanese army throughout Shandong, cut off the traffic connection outside Jinan City, and blocked the Japanese army's reinforcements.

Wang Jindong reported to the 41st Corps. Gao Jiu and the others had just wiped out the 40th Division of the Japanese Army. The Japanese army in the direction of Henan did not pose any threat to the 41st Corps for the time being.

Therefore, the 41st Corps agreed with Wang Jindong to lead the main force of the 187th Army, as well as the two divisions of the 69th Army and the artillery regiment directly under the Corps, to participate in the attack on Jinan.

Wang Zhankui, Wang Guimin, Gao Hong and others besieged the 112th Division of the Japanese Army.

The Japanese army was worried about being encircled and wiped out, so they chose to break out at night.

The direction the Japanese army chose to break through was the Independent Division of the Lubei Military Region led by Zhao Wannian.Although the officers and soldiers of the Independent Division tried their best to intercept the Japanese army, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was very strong, and they still broke through the defensive position of the Independent Division and fled into Jinan City.

The Japanese army originally had units directly under the 12th Army Command, the 110th Division, the 142nd Division, the Independent Mixed Eighth Brigade, and the Gendarmerie Command in Jinan City, totaling more than 67000 people.

Today, more than 112 people from the 18000th Division have been added, and the total strength has reached more than 8. The puppet army has a total of more than 3 people, which can be said to be very large.

Jinan City has strong walls and a wide moat. It is very difficult to take Jinan City.However, this cannot shake Gao Jiu's determination, he must take down Jinan City.

On this day, a joint meeting was held in Taohua Mountain. After introducing the enemy situation in Jinan City, Wang Guimin announced the strength of the coalition forces participating in the Jinan Campaign.

The Taohuashan guerrillas participated in the battle this time with 18 squadrons, tank units, and air forces, a total of 5100 people; the 41st Corps participated in the battle with three divisions of the 187th Army, two divisions of the 69th Army, and a total of 62000 artillery regiments directly under the Corps. There are more than 71000 underground party troops participating in the war, including two independent divisions and two independent brigades of the Southern Shandong Military Region, an artillery regiment directly under the Military Region, an independent division, two independent brigades of the Northern Lu Military Region, and an artillery regiment directly under the Military Region.

The total strength of the coalition troops participating in the battle reached 14. I heard that there were so many troops participating in the war. The participants were very excited. The troops had weapons and equipment provided by the arsenal in the Golden Triangle, Nanyang and Southwest Shandong. It has surpassed the Japanese army.The Taohuashan guerrillas also have a strong air force.

It can be said that the Japanese army can be completely crushed in terms of firepower, and the number of troops participating in the battle also exceeds that of the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinan City.

Everyone is full of confidence in winning Jinan City.

The meeting decided that all the ministries should start preparations now, and march towards Jinan City three days later, and all arrive at the designated positions before the 12th of this month, forming an encirclement of the enemy.

Since there are still [-] puppet troops in Jinan City, the person in charge of the underground party proposed to divide and disintegrate the puppet troops in the city again, and strive for the puppet troops to be able to cooperate with the coalition forces to fight. Mutual suspicion among the puppet troops weakened their ability to fight together.

Due to Huang Qiming's outstanding performance, this time the task fell on him again, and the team leader of the special operations squadron, Liang Liucheng, cooperated with him.

Jinan city.

Under the cover of the special warfare squadron, Huang Qiming came outside the city and was about to sneak into the city, but found that the gates of Jinan City were closed and no one came in or out.

Liang Liucheng, the leader of the special warfare squadron, felt that the situation was a bit unusual, so he sent a telegram to report to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Xu Zhongming to inquire about the situation in the city.

Xu Zhongming sent a telegram back saying that the Japanese army suddenly strengthened the city defenses and imposed martial law in the city, but they haven't figured out the specific situation yet.

The head of the underground party also sent a telegram to the intelligence station in Jinan City, asking them to investigate the situation in the city.

Huang Qiming and Liang Liucheng waited outside the city all day, but they didn't hear from Gao Jiu.

Huang Qiming decided to follow the original plan, hoping that Liang Liucheng could help him enter Jinan City.

Liang Liucheng agreed to his request, and sent someone to send him across the moat that night, climbed over the city wall and entered Jinan City.

After entering the city, Huang Qiming came to the underground party's traffic station.

The underground party intelligence station sent a telegram to the person in charge of the underground party, saying that Huang Qiming had arrived at the intelligence station.

The person in charge of the underground party sent a telegram asking Huang Qiming to try to get in touch with the relationship in the public security army, and by the way, find out the reason why the Japanese army suddenly strengthened the city defense in Jinan City.

In Jinan City, the martial law imposed by the Japanese army was limited to a certain period of time, from 9:4 am to [-]:[-] pm, and personnel were allowed to pass at other times.

However, checkpoints have been set up in many places on the street to conduct spot checks on people at any time.

When Huang Qiming came, he had already prepared all the necessary documents.

At 4:30 that afternoon, he saw the Japanese soldiers in charge of martial law leaving on the street, so he called a rickshaw and came to the headquarters of the First Army of the Puppet Army.

When I arrived at the gate of the headquarters, I was stopped by a sentinel. He said that he asked to see the chief of staff of the First Army.

The sentinel called the duty room, and not long after, a lieutenant officer was sent to the duty room, and Huang Qiming was brought in.

Huang Qiming was brought into the first floor of the headquarters office building. After waiting in a reception room for a while, a person who claimed to be the adjutant of the chief of staff came and asked Huang Qiming why he was here.

Huang Qiming didn't know this adjutant, so he asked his name?

The visitor claimed to be surnamed Luo, which aroused Huang Qiming's vigilance.

Huang Qiming came to the First Group Army of the Public Security Army through Zhao Wannian's relationship. The current chief of staff of the First Army and Zhao Wannian were in the same unit before the start of the Anti-Japanese War, and the relationship between the two was relatively close.

After Zhao Wannian led his troops to defect to the underground anti-Japanese armed forces, the two sides had no contact.Before Huang Qiming arrived, Zhao Wannian introduced the chief of staff and related information, and also mentioned the name and appearance of the chief of staff's adjutant.

Huang Qiming saw that this person's appearance was somewhat different from what Zhao Wannian provided, at least his height did not match, and the adjutant's surname was not Luo, but Zhang.

Huang Qiming felt that there might be something wrong with this person, so he didn't dare to tell this major officer surnamed Luo his intention of coming.

The major asked Huang Qiming why he was here, and Huang Qiming said that he was a relative of Li Hechang and asked to see the chief of staff for something.

Li Hechang mentioned by Huang Qiming is the brother-in-law of the chief of staff and now lives in Shandong.

After questioning him for a while, the person surnamed Luo didn't see any problem, so he took Huang Qiming up to the second floor.

The two entered a room, and the person who claimed to be surnamed Luo said to another major officer inside: "Adjutant Zhang, this Mr. Huang said that he is a relative of the chief of staff, so I will leave it to you."

Adjutant Zhang's face was a little ugly, and he said bluntly: "Understood." Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with this Luo.

Huang Qiming had a wealth of work experience, so he probably figured out what was going on.It seems that this person surnamed Luo might be someone sent by the Japanese spy agency. Foreigners must first go through their inspection before they are allowed to contact people in the First Army.

Judging from Adjutant Zhang's indifferent attitude towards Luo, there must be conflicts between them.This is a good thing for Huang Qiming.

When facing Huang Qiming, Adjutant Zhang smiled and asked kindly: "Mr. Huang, what is your relationship with the Chief of Staff?"

Huang Qiming explained his reason for coming again, saying that he was entrusted by the chief of staff's brother-in-law and had something to see the chief of staff.

Adjutant Zhang asked him to wait a while, and then walked out.

Soon after, he came back and said that the chief of staff had invited Huang Qiming to come over.

When the chief of staff saw Huang Qiming, he asked him what he was doing here.
Huang Qiming sat on the sofa, took off his shoes, and took out a letter from the cracks in the special soles.

Seeing his sneaky look, the chief of staff immediately became alert and asked sharply, "Who are you?"

Huang Qiming said unhurriedly: "Please read this letter before proceeding."

The chief of staff said to the adjutant: "Stay at the door. Don't let anyone in." Two more guards were called to stand at the door.

The chief of staff is very wary of Huang Qiming, he has already guessed that this person's origin is not simple, and is ready to arrest him.
