Jiang Xiaomei's brother Jiang Yong is now a captain in Tianchuan's construction workers' self-defense force. He rarely comes to look for Gao Jiu on weekdays, but he suddenly comes over today.

When Gao Jiu saw Jiang Yong, he said happily: "Some days I haven't seen you anymore, and I don't know if I have nothing to do, I come here to sit there more."

As he said that, he brewed a cup of tea for Jiang Yong himself.

Jiang Yong had no intention of drinking tea. He took the teacup and placed it on the table. Without saying thank you, he sat there without saying a word of grief.

Gao Jiu roughly guessed his purpose and asked, "Did you send me a telegram to you?"

Gao Jiu hasn't received a telegram from Jiang Xiaomei for a long time. He sent a telegram.

Sister Jiang didn't reply to him.

Jiang Yong said depressedly: "Master Jiu, what should I do about my little sister? She is 27 years old. She is so confused. Do you have to give me an explanation?"

Gao Jiu was very troubled by this matter. To be honest, he didn't know what to do. It's really not his fault for this matter. The underground party has strict organizational discipline.

Gao Jiu's current status can be said to be a warlord or a capitalist, but in short, it cannot be tolerated by the underground party discipline.

He scratched his head and said, "What do you think? What do you think? I'm just about to talk to you."

Jiang Yong said depressedly: "I just don't know what to do. Jiu Ye has great magical powers and nothing can be solved, so I came to find him. You have to think of a solution."

Gao Jiu is really powerful, but he also has things that he can't do, such as giving birth to a child, and the thing in front of him may be more difficult than giving birth to a child.

Gao Jiu and Jiang Xiaomei have a deep relationship, but the two of them are so innocent that they can only hold hands.

Jiang Yong said, "My father wrote to me and said that my girl was in a bad mood. Should you go back and see her?"

Even if Gao Jiu goes, he can't solve this problem. He said, "What's the use of me?"

Jiang Yong was a little anxious and said, "Master Jiu, no matter what, you have to go and see her."

Gao Jiu said helplessly: "Okay, just go with me."

Gao Jiu arranged the affairs of the Golden Triangle. The next afternoon, he left the Golden Triangle on a plane and headed for southwestern Shandong.

Zhiyuan County Town.

The transport plane landed at the simple airport outside the county town. Gao Hong, Chen John, Huang Shuigen, Yang Jiong and others all came to the airport to greet him. However, there was no Jiang Xiaomei.

At the welcoming banquet, Jiang Xiaomei appeared. She was generous and unparalleled, as if nothing had happened. Gao Jiu noticed that there was a hint of sorrow between her eyebrows. After the banquet, Gao Jiu stayed at the guesthouse of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district. Jiang Xiaomei came to Gao Jiu's room. Soon after, Jiang Xiaomei's crying came from the room.

Gao Hong, Chen John, Huang Shuigen and Yang Jiong did not go to rest. They discussed Jiang Xiaomei and Gao Jiu in the conference room.

Huang Shuigen said depressedly: "Everyone is good at Gao Jiu, but this person's life is a bit messy, it's a pity that Minister Jiang."

Everyone's thoughts were similar to Huang Shuigen. They couldn't find any results and could only leave a sigh.

In the end, John Chen made a summary speech, and only had one helpless sentence - let it go.

The next morning, Jiang Xiaomei came to see Gao Jiu normally, and accompanied Gao Jiu and visited the arsenal with John Chen and others.

Gao Jiu knew that he could not compensate Jiang Xiaomei, but couldn't help asking: "What are the difficulties you still have here? If I need to solve it, please speak up."

Jiang Xiaomei didn't say anything, and no one knew what to say. The atmosphere on the scene was very awkward.

At this moment, the confidential staff of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district sent a telegram saying that the person in charge of the underground party was going to come to the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district to meet Gao Jiu.

At this moment, it is better to do something than to have nothing. Gao Jiu and everyone came to the conference room of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district to learn about the situation of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district.

The Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district has not been attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops for a long time. The troops of the Independent Brigade are useless, and almost half of the troops have been transferred to other military sub-districts.

If it weren't for the arsenal here, the entire independent brigade would have been transferred.

The main task of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district is to defend the arsenal, develop production, and provide material assistance to other underground party bases.

The reason why Gao Jiu learned about the situation of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district in detail was because he had a premonition that some major changes might occur here.

The person in charge of the underground party came here to meet Gao Jiu, which should be talking about matters related to the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district, or about the situation related to the arsenal here in the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district.

Sure enough, Gao Jiu's premonition was fulfilled. After the person in charge of the underground party came, he told the purpose of his visit this time, which was indeed related to the arsenal.

During this period, the top leaders of the Japanese army changed a lot. The infamous spy leader Doi Hoshima replaced General Fujiwara and served as the Minister of the Japanese Army.

There was a kind of atmosphere of inferiority within the Japanese army, that is, the grassroots officers could not stand the older generals and thought they were too conservative, so they launched a movement to seize power.

Many senior Japanese generals were killed or forced to step down. The newly replaced generals were very radical, and the earth and fattening also played an important role in this group and became the leaders of these radical officers. They actually controlled the Japanese Army.

Under the leadership of the Japanese Army, a major change occurred, and a large number of senior Japanese generals were replaced.

The senior Japanese generals in Shandong were almost replaced. Takazo Kameo had retired. The Japanese generals who had good relationships in the past were already very unfamiliar with General Matsuda.

The army's actions also stimulated the grassroots officers of the Japanese Air Force and Navy. They also launched the campaign to resist the upper hand. A large number of senior generals of the Navy and Air Force were replaced. The newly replaced generals were young and energetic. They believed that the situation in each theater was unfavorable and that it was caused by the old officers.

They had just seized power, and the new officials took office and were eager to show themselves, so they had to launch a series of large-scale battles in various places.

Due to the existence of an arsenal in the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district, it was the focus of the Japanese army's offensive target.

The person in charge of the underground party came here specially to defend the arsenal. He hoped that Gao Jiu could help.

Regarding the replacement of senior Japanese military leaders, Gao Jiu has already received news from President Fujiwara. However, others are in the Golden Triangle and do not care about this.

Now it seems that there is really something wrong.

Gao Jiu said with a sigh: "We Taohua Mountain guerrillas have no choice but to fight the Japanese."

Gao Jiu decided to stay and participate in the battle to defend the southwestern Shandong Arsenal.

When he returned to his residence, he asked Jia Liu to send a telegram to Zhang Quan and Du Shengxi, asking them to lead the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to southwest Shandong.

Zhang Quan and others were stuck in the mountains all day long, and the Japanese and puppet troops around him did not come to cause trouble for them. They were so idle that they felt really uncomfortable.

They followed Gao Jiu to fight a few battles last year, and then they rested for so long, and now they are already itchy.

After receiving a telegram from Gao Jiu, they immediately set off for southwestern Shandong.

The newly replaced radicals of the Japanese army are indeed different from those of the previous Japanese troops, and these guys are even more cruel.

They launched a large-scale attack on the underground party base. After entering the base, they implemented the cruel Three Lights policy wherever they went, which brought serious disasters to the residents of the base area.

According to incomplete statistics, there are tens of thousands of innocent people killed by Japanese invaders in Shandong alone.

This greatly aroused Gao Jiu's anger. Seeing that the Anti-Japanese War was about to end next year, Gao Jiu did not want to miss the opportunity to eliminate these two-legged beasts. From now on, he would focus his main energy on fighting against Japan.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Jin Triangle, asking Tian Chuan to stay there to preside over the military work. Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Li Chengwu and others led the main force of the Taohuashan guerrillas to southwest Shandong.

He wanted to fight a few battles quickly and teach the young and strong sects in the Japanese army a lesson.

Soon after, the Taohua Mountain guerrillas gathered in southwestern Shandong reached more than 1,700. This was the largest time Gao Jiu dispatched the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The newly appointed commander of the 12th Japanese Army, Togo Yoshino, has been serving as director of the Tactics Teaching and Research Department at the Tokyo National Army University in Japan. At the beginning of this year, he went to the Japanese Army's Army Department as a senior staff officer for a period of time.

Yoshino Togo thought he was proficient in military tactics, and after he arrived in Shandong, he couldn't wait to display his tactical skills.

At the beginning, the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong were not very adaptable to his methods, and ended up suffering a lot of losses.

When he was in Tokyo, he had heard of Gao Jiu's name, but he heard that Gao Jiu was now in the Golden Triangle in Southeast Asia, so he didn't care.

General Matsuda once reminded him not to provoke Gao Jiu as much as possible.

Togo Yoshino also believes that since Takagi is so famous, he must have his outstanding qualities.

He had no idea to play Taohua Mountain for the time being, and focused on the southwestern Shandong and Nanyang areas.

Especially the underground party arsenal in southwestern Shandong, it was his key target of attack.

This time he mobilized the 141st and 142nd Japanese divisions who had just been transferred from Japan to attack southwestern Shandong and destroy the underground party's arsenal.

Gao Jiu has established a huge intelligence network over the years. Even though most of the main generals within the Japanese army were replaced, Gao Jiu still has first-hand news from the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's combat deployment was quickly mastered by Gao Jiu.

The scale of the southwestern Shandong Arsenal is relatively small, and the southwestern Shandong region does not have a corresponding industrial supply chain. Many weapons cannot be produced, such as 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 82mm recoil-free guns, and infantry fighting vehicles cannot be produced.

In order to defend the southwestern Shandong Arsenal, Gao Jiu seized the time to transport a large number of anti-aircraft artillery from the Golden Triangle, and transferred a batch of fighter jets and bombers to Nanyang Airport to provide support for combat in the southwestern Shandong region at any time.

Although Jiang Xiaomei was a little depressed due to emotional matters, she immediately got into the state of work.

She and Gao Jiu made careful arrangements for the security of the arsenal.

In order to ensure the safety of southwestern Shandong, Gao Jiu personally came to Nanyang City and held talks with Wang Jindong and others.

They agreed to dispatch the newly formed 187th Division and the Military Guard Regiment to participate in the operations in southwestern Shandong.

Wang Jindong was very nostalgic about the experience of fighting side by side in southwestern Shandong with Gao Jiu. Now that he is about to return to southwestern Shandong, he is inevitably a little excited.

He followed Gao Jiu directly to southwest Shandong and asked the Chief of Staff to lead the troops and follow up.

That morning, the battle to defend southwestern Shandong officially kicked off.

The Second Japanese Air Force sent bombers to bomb the Southwest Arsenal. The Taohuashan Guerrillas took off a large number of fighter jets to intercept them, and had a fierce air battle with the fighter jets escorted by the Japanese army.

After the Japanese bombers entered southwestern Shandong, they were attacked by a large number of anti-aircraft guns on the way. Before they could fly over the arsenal, they suffered heavy losses and were forced to give up the mission of this bombing.

The commander of the Japanese Third Air Force was replaced again, but the Chief of Staff stayed. The new commander was very familiar with him when he was in Japan. The Chief of Staff recorded his past experiences in dealing with Gao Jiu. He persuaded the new commander not to slept in this muddy water.

The commander accepted the Chief of Staff’s opinion, and the Chief of Staff sent someone to communicate with Gao Jiu in advance.

The Third Air Force also sent planes, walked around the southwest edge of the road, dropped a bunch of bombs, and then returned.

When fighting against the Japanese army, Gao Jiu was most worried about the Japanese air force. Now that the Japanese second air force is coming to cause trouble, Gao Jiu decided to attack them first.

Gao Jiu decided to take a two-pronged approach this time, not only to strike from the ground, but also to launch an air strike, completely destroying the combat capabilities of the Japanese Second Air Force.

Gao Jiu decided to adopt a new combat method this time, with the goal not only to destroy the Japanese Second Air Force's airport in Zhengzhou, but also to snatch the Japanese planes from the airport.

According to the report of Zhou Mingshan, the stationmaster of the Military Intelligence Bureau Nanyang Station, the 38th Japanese Army Division stationed in Kaifeng, including the division commander, is still the original team.

So Gao Jiu entrusted Zhou Mingshan to send someone to discuss with the commander of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army, asking them not to trek into this muddy water and to open up the path of guerrilla advancement.

The commander of the 38th Division of the Japanese Army had received an order from the North China Front Command to accept the command of Yoshino, the new commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army.

Yoshino Togo asked them to cooperate with the operations of the 141st and 142nd Divisions of the Japanese army.

He was already worried because he knew that the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district was a key area for Gao Jiu.

He had long been unwilling to wade into muddy waters, but he just wanted to be like that. He would neither offend Gao Jiu nor let Dongxiang Yoshino come to cause trouble for them.
