In the conference room of the military police team, Liu Shengyu saw Hamada Yoshiji and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Secretary Chief, Liu Shengyu, the captain of the Public Security Army of Beishishoucheng County, pays tribute to you!"

Hamada Yoshiji nodded to Liu Shengyu with a kind attitude and said kindly: "Liu Sang, we're meeting again. Are you doing well recently?"

Hamada Yoshihiro and Liu Shengyu went to encircle Taohua Mountain together. He had a good impression of him. Now he is a time to use people, so his attitude is particularly friendly.

Liu Shengyu looked flattered and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Section Chief, for your care."

Although Hamada Yoshihiro is now the director of the special high-level division of the Jinan Military Police Command and is already in the rank of colonel, he has a good cultivation and rarely puts on airs in front of his subordinates. This is very close to General Matsuda, which is one of the reasons why General Matsuda appreciates him.

Captain Hirata of the military police team saw that all the military and political officials of the county arrived and said to Hamada Yoshiji: "Secretary, please give me advice."

Yoshiji Hamada said: "Now the Great Japanese Huang Army is suppressing bandits in Taohua Mountain. The bandits have received reinforcements. The Huang Army has encountered some small difficulties. I hope you can organize troops to reinforce the Yellow Army troops encircling Taohua Mountain."

Captain Hirata was most afraid of this. In the past, he never went to provoke the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. Now, one of the Huang army's corps is surrounded by others, and he has only dozens of military police and hundreds of security troops. It is not enough for people to get into Taohua Mountain to get into Taohua Mountain. Not to mention whether he could rescue the surrounded Japanese 18th Regiment, even if the Japanese 18th Regiment could successfully break through, they were the guest army and sooner or later they would leave Taohua Mountain. After they left, a small Shoucheng County would not be killed by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Captain Hirata was determined to go, but in terms of affiliation, Hamada Yoshizhi and he belonged to the same system as the military police headquarters. It can also be said that he was his immediate boss. He still dared not to execute the matters ordered by Hamada Yoshizhi. He pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Chief, your order must be carried out, but our military police team can only draw twenty or thirty people. Liu Sang's security army lacks food and bullets, and has no combat power. If we go there, we may not have any effect.

Once you suffer heavy losses, the public security of Shoucheng County will be greatly affected. Do you think you can arrange for us to do some other work?"

Hamada Yoshihiro was waiting for this sentence. He knew that these guys would not dare to go to Taohua Mountain to die, and he did not intend to let these guys go to Taohua Mountain to fight. He just wanted to knock on these guys' robbery. If he spoke directly, these guys would definitely try their best to shirk them, so that they would be obedient.

In order to strengthen the effect of intimidation, Hamada Yoshiji said deliberately in embarrassment: "This may not work. The Gendarmerie Command has issued an order to allow the military police and security brigades of the counties around Taohua Mountain to rescue the surrounding Huang army troops in Taohua Mountain. If you don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain this to the higher authorities.

Hamada Yoshiji did not say "You can't explain to the superiors", but said that he "he" could not explain to the superiors. He had something in his words, meaning that he would give him a reason to explain to the superiors.

Sure enough, Captain Hirata heard this and hurriedly said, "Secretary, you know very well about the situation in our county. Please explain this matter to the above."

Hamada Yoshimi pondered for a while, then said reluctantly: "It is indeed not easy for you to stay around the bandits in Taohua Mountain for a long time. So, you will raise some food and grass to provide supplies to the Huang army."

Captain Pingtian was relieved when he heard that they were not allowed to go to Taohua Mountain to die. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Section Chief, for your understanding. Don't worry, our Shoucheng County will definitely do our best to provide food and grass support for the Huang army."

Next, everyone discussed the details related to raising food and wages.

After the meeting, Captain Hirata invited Hamada Yoshihiro to his office, took out a part of the money he had plundered, and gave him filial piety to Hamada Yoshihiro.

Hamada Yoshihiro left the military police force and did not leave Shoucheng County immediately, but came to Liu Shengyu's Public Security Army headquarters in person.

Liu Shengyu was very surprised to see Hamada Yoshihiro personally coming to the Public Security Army Brigade headquarters. He looked flattered and hurriedly received Hamada Yoshihiro enthusiastically.

Hamada Yoshihiro told them about their friendship and said that he admired Liu Shengyu very much and asked him to find him directly if he had something to do in the future, and he would definitely help him.

Liu Shengyu really wanted to find out what Hamada Yoshihiro had to do with the Taohuashan guerrillas next, but Gao Jiu had repeatedly explained to him that his main task was to lurk here. Hamada Yoshihiro was the director of the special high school department, so Liu Shengyu would certainly be more careful when talking to him.

Faced with the friendly attitude of Hamada Yoshihiro conveyed to him, Liu Shengyu looked flattered and hurriedly took out two big yellow croakers and gave them to Hamada Yoshihiro.

Hamada Yoshihiro couldn't see the captain of the Shoucheng County Public Security Army. The reason why he condescended to the Public Security Army Brigade and said this to Liu Shengyu was to be filial to him.

Hamada Yoshinori had already had a premonition that the Japanese 18th Regiment had a great chance of danger. As the craftsman of the combat plan and one of the organizers of the attack on Taohua Mountain this time, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

He has not served in the Jinan Military Police Command for a long time, and no one above was willing to speak for him except General Matsuda. Not only that, there are many people who are staring at the position of the Super High School Section Chief. Many people will envy, jealous and hate him for being the Super High School Section Chief.

If something goes wrong with the 18th Japanese Regiment this time, someone will definitely take the blame. He wants to make some money from below and respect Shangguan after he returns to avoid being held accountable.

Hamada Yoshiji took enough oil and water, and then left Shoucheng County with satisfaction.

Liu Shengyu was concerned about the safety of Taohua Mountain, so he analyzed and judged the purpose of Hamada Yoshihiro coming to Shoucheng County. However, he did not know much about the situation of the Japanese upper class and was not sure what Hamada Yoshihiro was going to do for a while. He decided to report Hamada Yoshihiro's appearance in Shoucheng County to Gao Jiu.

Liu Shengyu called the adjutant Li San and asked him to go to Sun Ji's grocery store to find Sun Yong'an, and reported the situation in Shoucheng County to Gao Jiu through Sun Yong'an.

No. 67     No.

Gao Jiu received a telegram from Sun Yong'an and felt that things were a bit unreasonable. Hamada Yoshihiro clearly knew that he had raised food and money in Shoucheng County, but he could not transport it to Taohua Mountain, so why did he do this?

Gao Jiu told everyone his doubts and asked everyone to come up with their own ideas.

Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie are not familiar with the enemy situation of this generation, so they did not express their opinions. Wang Guimin has been appointed as the

In order to integrate into the Taohuashan guerrillas as soon as possible, he had long been familiar with the internal affairs of the Taohuashan guerrillas, as well as the surrounding environment and enemy situation. After the battle to siege the 18th Japanese Regiment began, he was considering the Japanese reinforcements.

He first said: "Master Jiu, I am a newcomer and I don't understand the situation clearly. I want to first talk about my opinion. If what I said is wrong, please forgive me."

Gao Jiu still recognized Wang Guimin's military talent, otherwise he would not have been able to become the combat staff of the Taohuashan guerrillas, but in fact he was his assistant. He smiled and encouraged: "Everyone can speak freely, just say anything you have."

Wang Guimin said: "The Japanese army raised food and money in Shoucheng County. With their troops in Shoucheng County, it is impossible to transport these food and money to Taohua Mountain. The 18th Japanese Regiment surrounded by Japanese troops could not send troops out to transport this part of the food and money.

Since the 18th Regiment of the Japanese Army could not receive this batch of food and pay, it means that this batch of food and pay was not prepared for the 18th Regiment of the Japanese Army."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "That's right, you continue."

Wang Guimin was encouraged and his thinking became more active. He said: "According to the characteristics of Japanese combat, they will definitely send troops to reinforce the 18th Regiment.

I recently learned about the Japanese troops deployed in Shandong. The main force of the Japanese army in Shandong was mainly the Japanese 114th Division. Their troops were insufficient, and at most they could only send a corps force from Jinan, plus some public security forces. However, from the direction they came, the food and money raised by Hamada Yoshihiro Shoucheng County was obviously not prepared for their troops.

Therefore, I think they should be prepared for other Japanese reinforcements, and I don’t know where their other reinforcements will come from?"

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I think so too. There should be another Japanese reinforcements coming to reinforce."

Yang Jiong turned out to be a secretary in the Shoucheng County Government. The situation in this area was more familiar. He said: "There is also the Japanese Yamamoto Garrison to the east of Shoucheng County. Will they come to reinforce?"

Jiang Xiaomei is now a relatively mature military commander. She said: "I think it should be them. The Japanese Yamamoto Garrison is closest to Taohua Mountain. They are local garrison troops. They are not the same system as the Japanese 18th Ferry. If they want them to come for reinforcements, they need to add some extra food and money. In this way, it seems that Hamada Yoshihiro's behavior of raising food and money here is very reasonable."

Wang Shuigen also expressed his opinion, and he thought what Battalion Commander Jiang and Political Commissar Yang made sense.

The Japanese garrison was one of the local garrison troops, mainly used to guard railways and important highways. The garrison was organized between the Japanese brigade and corps, with troops ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 people. The number of people matched the importance of their garrison goals.

The Yamamoto Garrison had a total force of more than 7,000 people, and was responsible for guarding the Jinan-Tai'an section of the Jinpu Railway. The headquarters of the Garrison was located in Tai'an. There were two brigades of the Japanese army stationed near the station east of Shoucheng County, with a total force of about 1,700 people.

For such a long time, the Taohuashan guerrillas have never taken any trouble with them on the railway, nor have they sent troops to Taohuashan, and both sides have been in peace.

Gao Jiu believed that the analysis of the three leaders of the Independent Battalion was reasonable, and he said: "You are right. Although there is a conflict between the Japanese local garrison troops and the field army, in this case, they are likely to send troops to rescue the Japanese army surrounded by Taohua Mountain."

Suddenly, thousands of Japanese reinforcements were added, and Wang Zhankui and Guan Lie couldn't help but feel a little worried. Yang Jiong and Huang Shuigen also felt that the Japanese army had too many troops and felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

Huang Shuigen suggested: "Jiu Master, why not attack the surrounded Japanese devils quickly. After defeating them, our actions will be convenient. We can attack and retreat or defend. Otherwise, there will be a risk of being attacked from both sides."

Jiang Xiaomei had extremely trust in Gao Jiu. She looked at Gao Jiu and said with confidence: "Brother Jiu, what do you think you will do? We will all listen to you."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It's good. If the Japanese in Yamamoto's garrison want to come and cause trouble, give them some colors. We have never been to Taohuashan before to find trouble on the railway. Since they want to open this, don't blame us for making a fortune on the railway in the future."

Gao Jiu's relaxed words made everyone's heart feel at ease, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

They knew that this time the Yamamoto garrison provoked Gao Jiu, which was to stab the hornet's nest, and they would only cry in the future. I'm afraid they would not be the only one who was unlucky, and the Japanese troops passing by on the railway would probably be implicated.

Next, Gao Jiu made corresponding combat deployments according to the enemy reinforcements from Jinan and Tai'an:

With a battalion of Guanlie's Independent Regiment and a total of 3,700 militiamen from 17 villages, they continued to encircle the Japanese troops guarding Mount No. 43 and 44.

A infantry and cavalry battalion of the 24th Regiment of Wang Zhankui was deployed on the north side of Mountain No. 67, preparing to block the Japanese reinforcements sent from Jinan.

The independent battalion of Taohua Mountain guerrillas and Jiang Xiaomei was deployed on the east side of Mountain No. 66, preparing to fight against Japanese reinforcements coming from Shoucheng County.

Since Yamamoto's garrison is close to Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu decided to first deal with the Japanese reinforcements, and then cooperate with Wang Zhankui's troops to attack the Japanese reinforcements coming from Jinan.

In order to delay the advancement of the Japanese reinforcements coming from Jinan, Gao Jiu asked the independent militia troops to destroy all the highways on the Japanese road and harass the Japanese army along the way.

The independent battalion can mobilize more than 1,000 militias. In order to complete the damage to the highway, the manpower is still insufficient, and a large number of people need to be mobilized to participate in the road breaking operation.

In order to encourage more people to participate in the road breaking operation, Gao Jiu took out another 10,000 oceans and handed them to Yang Jiong, asking him to use the money to pay the people who participated in the road breaking as a reward.

However, Yang Jiong refused firmly this time. He said: "The people in the enemy war zone have been ravaged by the Japanese army and will definitely support the fight against the Japanese."

Gao Jiu thought about it and thought it made sense.

The underground party is very experienced in doing mass work. They mainly want to give full play to the subjective initiative of the people.

Gao Jiu believes that Yang Jiong should be worried that the masses will be mobilized this time, so when the masses are mobilized next time, there will be no ocean to be distributed, and it will be difficult to mobilize the masses.

When Gao Jiu was about to praise the Independent Battalion for mobilizing the masses, Yang Jiong said with a smile: "Jiu Ye, we won't collect this money. However, there is still some time before the harvest of autumn grain, and the people's homes do not have much food. After the war, can we support our Independent Battalion some food?"

Gao Jiu likes Yang Jiong's pragmatic attitude very much. He smiled and said, "No problem. You can promise the people that as long as you participate in the road breaking activities, each person will give them 20 kilograms of grain. After this battle, you can send someone to Taohua Mountain to transport the grain for your independent camp and the people together."

In order to strengthen the firepower, Gao Jiu asked Li Chengwu to bring people back to Taoyuan Town and transport all the eight Type 92 infantry artillery and shells seized. In addition, he asked him to purchase all the various meat and vegetables that could be purchased in Taoyuan Town, so that the officers and soldiers who participated in the war could eat well.

Li Chengwu was about to set off, but Gao Jiu stopped him. He said, "Chengwu, after you go back, you ask the blacksmith to make some iron horns. In addition, Liu Defu has a phonograph at home, and his eldest son is studying in Japan. He should have some Japanese records at home, and they are all brought together."

Jiang Xiaomei asked curiously: "Brother Jiu, what do you want these?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "You will know then."

After doing these things, Gao Jiu asked someone to bring the two French Hatchcas 1930 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns up the mountain. At the same time, he called all the machine gunners who had participated in the knockout of the plane and explained to them how to judge the height of the enemy aircraft, how to set the advance quantity, and how to set the machine gun positions for air shooting.

He planned to train these machine gunners who had practical experience, and then sent them to various mountains to organize machine gunners there to prepare to deal with the next step of Japanese air strikes and airdrop operations.

Everyone's analysis was correct. Hamada Yoshiji really went to find the Japanese Yamamoto Garrison. On the one hand, he sent a telegram to General Matsuda, asking him to persuade the 12th Army Command to issue reinforcements to the Yamamoto Garrison. On the other hand, he went to do the work of the Yamamoto Garrison himself.

He believed that although the current number of the Taohuashan guerrillas and their reinforcements could surround the 18th Regiment, if Jinan sent troops to reinforce, plus the Yamamoto garrison troops, the Japanese army would regain the advantage of military strength. This would not only rescue the 18th Regiment, but also in turn eliminate the Taohua guerrillas and other anti-Japanese armed forces.

Hamada Yoshiji hopes that this will result. In this way, he will not only not bear the responsibility for failure, but will instead become a hero in the eradication of Taohua Mountain.

The situation is now critical. Hamada Yoshihiro wanted to go to the headquarters of the Yamamoto Garrison in Tai'an. It was too late to go to the Shoucheng Prefecture Railway Station to mobilize the garrison troops there first.

Jinan, the 12th Army Command.

General Haneda, the chief of staff of the 12th Army, received a report from General Matsuda. He immediately convened a military meeting to study how to reinforce the surrounded Japanese 18th Regiment.

After the meeting began, when General Songtian reported on the relevant situation, the Japanese generals who attended the meeting all looked at him with dissatisfaction.

The commander of the Japanese Third Air Force, Makio Yokota, was a bad temper and began to get angry first.
