Chapter 81 Political Bandits
In order to make up for his mistakes and to be happy today, the teahouse owner simply made a generous reply, and he announced loudly: "Dear friends, today's tea is free, I'll treat you."
"good."
"Happy, thank you Boss Qin."
Now, the tea shoppers are more interested.
The Japanese side launched another public opinion war. Before China could launch a counterattack, it was slapped in the face by Gao Han's clear telegram, and was thrown to grandma's house.
Gao Han's series of fancy performances once again attracted the attention of all forces.
The super combat power of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas is beyond doubt. The political capabilities of this leader of the anti-Japanese guerrillas in Taohua Mountain, known as Gao Jiu, have also been fully recognized by all forces.
GCD believes that Gao Jiu is a patriot with a view of the overall situation and a high degree of political sensitivity. He is a fight for anti-Japanese warrior worthy of fighting for and trust. The Lunan Working Committee of the Underground Party once again instructs the Shoucheng County Party Committee to closely maintain contact with the Taohuashan guerrillas and provide assistance to the Taohuashan guerrillas when necessary.
GMD believes that Gao Jiu is an excellent guerrilla warfare expert, and has high political literacy and good at public opinion warfare. Such a person is very valuable for fighting. He once again instructed the Military Control Commission to strengthen the struggle for the Taohuashan guerrillas, and at the same time, he raised the title of Gao Han. This time he was appointed as the colonel commander of the National Army's Lunan Anti-Japanese Column.
The Japanese and puppet parties believed that Gao Jiu, the bandit leader of the Taohuashan guerrillas, should be a senior talent with good modern education. He not only has good military literacy, but also has a keen political mind. He can be called a political bandit. For such a person, if possible, he must strive for it. If he cannot fight for it, he must completely eradicate it.
The time chosen by Gao Han to execute Shimada and the clear telegram sent by him made the Japanese and puppets extremely passive. The 12th Army Command was very embarrassed and ordered the 10th Division to give an explanation to the 12th Army Command. The 10th Division felt ashamed and ordered the 63rd Regiment to give an explanation to the 10th Division Command.
Colonel Tanaka, the commander of the 63rd Regiment, was so amused and laughed. Because of a small anti-Japanese guerrilla team of less than 100 people in the Taohua Mountains, Colonel Tanaka was scolded by the division commander for the third time.
When he heard the division commander order him to go to the division headquarters for reprimand, he hurriedly stated that he had deployed an encirclement and suppression operation against the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
He hopes that the division commander can allow him to go to Taohua Mountain to command the encirclement and suppression operations personally, and after the anti-Japanese army of Gaojiu and his gang of Taohua Mountain were wiped out, they would apologize to the division commander.
Seeing Colonel Tanaka taking active actions to make up for the mistakes he had made, the division commander still couldn't help but scold him, but agreed to his plan. At the same time, he ordered him to protect Ayumi Hamasaki and not to let Ayumi Hamasaki encounter any danger.
Colonel Tanaka avoided being humiliated to the division headquarters. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and told the division commander again that he would completely eliminate the anti-Japanese armed forces in Taohua Mountain, capture Gao Jiu alive, and save the face of the 63rd Regiment and the 10th Division.
Colonel Tanaka made a guarantee to the division commander, or made a military order. He knew that if he could not achieve any decent results this time, he would not be able to explain to the division commander, and he might be affected.
He attached great importance to the next operation of encirclement and suppression of the Taohua Mountain anti-Japanese guerrillas.
Yoshihiko Hamada and Ayumi Hamasaki formulated a combat plan around Taohua Mountain. In this plan, two Japanese squadrons were dispatched, and an artillery squad and a cavalry squad were strengthened, and the puppet security forces in Hepingyue County, Shoucheng County were mobilized to participate in the combat operation with a total force of more than 900 people.
After looking at the combat plan they formulated, Tanaka Osamu did not raise any questions about their specific ideas of combat. He simply turned the troops involved in the siege into a complete Japanese brigade and the puppet security forces of the four counties above the Taohua Mountains, with a total force of more than 2,200 people.
He didn't believe it. Even if the Taohua Mountain area was hundreds of miles in a radius, they already knew the general range of activities of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. With so many troops participating in the encirclement and suppression of a small guerrilla team with less than 100 people, they didn't believe that they could fly to the sky.
In order to better implement this combat plan, on the morning of May 4, Colonel Tanaka presided over the combat meeting at the 63rd Regiment headquarters. The Japanese brigade leader Takeo Inoue, Yoshiji Hamada, Ayuki Hamasaki, and the captains of the Japanese military police team in the four counties around Taohua Mountain all participated in the combat meeting.
The meeting decided that Hamada Yoshihiro would be the commander-in-chief of the combat operation and the combat operation will be officially launched on May 7.
Shoucheng County.
Lieutenant Hirata, the captain of the military police, participated in the combat meeting and returned to the county town, immediately sent someone to call Liu Shengyu and announced Colonel Tanaka's order to lead the security army brigade to participate in this encirclement and suppression of the Taohuashan guerrillas.
Liu Shengyu knew the exact time and deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops that the Japanese and puppet troops were about to attack Taohua Mountain, and immediately sent Li San to inform Sun Yong'an.
Sun Yongan said to Li San: "Thank you, Adjutant Li. Please convey your gratitude to Captain Liu after you go back. You don't have to worry about this matter. Jiuye has long expected the Japanese to attack Taohua Mountain. He has made arrangements. How many people are there for the Japanese to come, and we Taohua Mountain do not take them seriously at all. You will participate in the operation to suppress Taohua Mountain this time. You may need your help in the future. I will contact you at that time."
Although Sun Yongan said this, after seeing Li San away, he still sent Ma Erbao to the mountain to inform Guo Hengming and others who were responsible for leaving behind.
Back at the Public Security Army Brigade, Li San reposted Sun Yongan's words.
Liu Shengyu felt relieved, and he said with emotion: "Jiu Ye and his Taohua Mountain guerrillas have only a few dozen people. Facing so many encirclement and suppression troops, they are so relaxed. This calmness is really admirable."
Li San also gave a thumbs up and praised: "The troupe is right. Jiu Ye and the others are really powerful. The Japanese are so powerful that they are vulnerable under Jiu Ye and the others. I am completely convinced."
