After thinking about it, Doi-Yuen decided to ask for the opinions of Hamada Yoshihiro and see what Gao Jiu wanted to do. So he sent a telegram to Hamada Yoshihiro.

Hamada Yoshiji knew Gao Jiu very well. To be honest, he didn't advocate that Doi Hoshiyuan do this. Gao Jiu is a person who has never been coerced by others. Doi Hoshiyuan does this purely to cause trouble for himself.

Hamada Yoshihiro had already guessed that Gao Jiu's next action must be to capture important Japanese figures to exchange. Gao Jiu has done a lot of such things. In the past, he actually caught Prince Chao Xianggong in order to replace people.

He went to the commander of the Hong Kong Village and discussed with him.

The commander of Gangmura also agreed with Hamada Yoshihiro's analysis, so he sent a telegram to Tu Feiyuan, reminding him that Gao Jiu would definitely adopt a hostage exchange method in the future, asking him to remind important Japanese institutions and key figures in China to keep them on high alert and prevent Gao Jiu from launching sneak attacks.

After sending a telegram to Toeheiyuan, Hamada Yoshiji said with some concern: "Commander, I am really worried. Even if preventive measures are taken, they will not be effective. With Gao Jiu's talent, it will not be able to prevent it. I am afraid that the Minister will eventually compromise this time."

Hongcun is an extremely powerful character. He can seize the fighter's planes keenly and say: "No matter what, before the hostages are exchanged, Gao Jiu will distract himself and will not interfere with our Shandong direction. We should seize this rare opportunity and immediately launch an offensive battle against the Tai'an direction, and resolutely open up the Jinpu Railway."

Hamada Yoshiji said: "Your Excellency Commander, I agree with your idea. I will notify you now and hold a combat meeting."

After the combat meeting, Deputy Chief of Staff Haneda personally went to the 12th Army Command of the Japanese Army in Jinan Castle to command the Jinpu Railway offensive battle.

Yoshiji Hamada and General Matsuda planned a sneak attack. Their goal was to destroy the underground party Lunan Military Region and the rocket launcher obtained from Gaoji. This weapon was too powerful and if it could not be destroyed, it would cause major casualties to the Japanese army.

General Matsuda went out in person this time. He led the Special High School Division of the Peking Gendarmerie Command and the elite troops drawn from the Military Police Team to form a 120-person team, which was specifically directed by the Chief of the Operations Division of the Special High School Division of the Peking Gendarmerie Command. After General Haneda left, they also took a car to Tai'an, Shandong.

Not long after, the Japanese 141st Division, the main force of the 132nd Division, and the Public Security Army attacked and advanced from the direction of Jinan to Tai'an, and the Japanese 3rd Division attacked and advanced from the direction of Xuzhou to Zaozhuang.

After receiving information about the Japanese attack, the underground party actively prepared for the war and informed Gao Jiu. They learned that Gao Jiu's main energy was currently focused on rescuing Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu, and they were embarrassed to say anything else, so they prepared to fight the Japanese army.

Not to mention, this detrimental move of fertile land still played a role. In this case, in order to protect Liang Shihu and Zhang Qiaoyun, Gao Jiu could not send Taohuashan guerrillas to Tai'an to participate in the battle without capturing important hostages of the Japanese army.

Although Gao Jiu knew that the Japanese army would not risk killing Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu, Gao Jiu did not dare to take this risk. If something really happened, Gao Jiu would never feel at ease in his life and would not be able to face Zhang Quan in the future.

Of course, Gao Jiu knew that this was a conspiracy, so he could not suffer the loss. Although he could not send troops to reinforce the Tai'an Military Region, he could still give an idea.

He sent a telegram to the person in charge of the underground party and Gao Hong, telling them that if they were confident that they would stick to Tai'an for half a month, then they would stick to it. Gao Jiu would definitely solve the problem of Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu within half a month, and would go to Tai'an in person to help them deal with the Japanese army.

If the underground party is not sure about this, then temporarily give up Tai'an City and move to the countryside. When Gao Jiu comes out, he will take back Tai'an City with them.

After discussion, the heads of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Johan, Yang Jiong and others believed that every retreat would cause significant losses, and the local anti-Japanese military and civilians would also be disappointed with the underground party.

After careful consideration, they believed that they are now basically the same as the Japanese army in terms of military strength and have a certain advantage in weapons and equipment, especially with advanced rocket launchers, which are enough to deal with the large-scale group attack of the Japanese army. In addition, they built a large number of fortifications, they decided to stick to Tai'an City and wait for Gao Jiu to make a move to fight the Japanese army together.

Just as the war in the Tai'an direction was about to begin, Gao Jiu had already started his action.

The boss of the Military Control Commission received a telegram from Gao Jiu. After knowing the whole story, he also issued an emergency mobilization order to the Military Control Commission, ordering all the Military Control Commission organizations in the enemy-occupied areas to try to kidnap famous Japanese military and political officials and expatriates in the local area to provide hostages for Gao Jiu to replace people.

The Taohuashan Guerrillas sent 12 small teams to the important provincial capital cities in Japan, and with the cooperation of the local underground party and the Military Control Commission, they kidnapped important Japanese figures.

Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui, Li Chengwu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Jia Liu personally led a special operations squadron to Nanjing City to arrest senior Japanese figures.

Gao Jiu will make a big noise this time, which will cost Tu Feiyuan a heavy price, and he will never dare to use such a bad mind again in the future.

After General Matsuda arrived in Shandong, he did not show up in Jinan City, but instead took the team directly to Tai'an.

They arrived at Xinzhuang Station 80km away from Tai'an City, contacted the local Japanese railway garrison, and added some supplies here. Under the guidance provided by the railway garrison, they led the team to advance at night, led by the commander of the Operations Division of the Special High School Division of the Peking Military Police Command and continued to Tai'an City.

The war was imminent, and the underground party Lunan Military Region was very strict in its security. At all intersections outside the position, there were people from the county brigade standing guard and guarding. There were also a large number of mobile posts at the front of the position to prevent the Japanese army's sneak attack.

In order to avoid the sentries of the underground party, the Japanese advance team led by their guides to detour into the mountainous area north of Tai'an, crossed mountains and ridges, and finally climbed over the last ridge from a cliff with ropes and entered the base area.

The guide was a native of Tai'an and was very familiar with the local situation. Under his guidance, the advance team came to the outside of a large village.

The guide took advantage of the darkness to get into the village. It was not long, and he came out with a man in his fifties wearing a melon-shaped hat. This man was the guide's father and a local landlord. When he had not occupied Tai'an in the underground party, he was the maintenance president of the village. He was also an old traitor.

He provided an important clue that his long-time worker once saw those strange-shaped trucks in a town east of Tai'an City, which are said to be rocket launchers.

The chief of the Operations Department gave the traitor's father a lot of money and asked him to help find the long-term worker and lead the way for them.

The guide's father was very happy. Shortly after returning to the village, he called out the long-term worker.

After receiving a considerable amount of reward from the senior high school department head, the long-term workers were willing to lead the way for them.

The Japanese army supported the army, led by Changgong, continued to rush. At two o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the town where they saw the rocket launcher.

There is a stream outside the town with a small bridge above it, and a sentry standing guard at the top of the bridge.

The head of the Operations Division sent two agents across the stream, attacked suddenly from behind, and captured the sentry.

The sentry was brought to the front of the operation applause. The operation chief personally interrogated the sentry and asked about the situation of the garrison in the town, especially the location of the rocket launchers.

Sentinel is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He hates the Japanese very much. No matter how coercive and tempted the Japanese or torture them, he just refuses to provide the situation in the town.

The head of the special high school department was helpless and had to kill the sentry.

The head of the Operation Section asked the guide to take two agents from the Special High School to try to sneak into the town, and be sure to find the location of the rocket launcher.

The Changgong was very familiar with the local situation, and he often came to this town. Under his guidance, he came to the west of the town and climbed over the wall and entered the town.

There are quite a few rocket launchers. If you want to park so many, you must have a large open field.

The guide was familiar with the situation in the town and took the agents to the near the pond in the village, where there was a small square. The biggest possibility was that the vehicles were parked in the small square.

Sure enough, Japanese agents found the vehicles covered with tarpaulins there. Based on the shape of the tarpaulins on the vehicles, they knew that they must be those rocket launchers.

The agents counted and there were 12 vehicles. They left one agent hidden in the dark, and the guide and another agent went to report to the head of the Operations Section of the Special High School.

Based on the information obtained previously, the head of the Operations Department knew that there were more than 20 rocket launchers in the underground party in southern Shandong.

There is only a part here, and I can't help but feel a little regretful. However, being able to destroy this part reduces the great threat to the Japanese army, so he decided to take action.

The Japanese advance team came from the west to the edge of the wall and then flipped through the wall.

Just as the Japanese army approached the ancestral hall, a Japanese soldier accidentally fell and made a lot of noise, alarming the patrol team patrolling the streets. They searched here.

The head of the Operations Division made a quick decision and issued an attack order. Some of the advancers opened fire at the patrol team, while the rest rushed towards the rocket launcher.

The second regiment of the Independent Brigade led by Huang Shuigen was stationed in this town, with nearly 2,000 troops. Perhaps because of this, their vigilance was relatively relaxed, and they were directly touched by the Japanese advance team.

The head of the Operations Department of course hoped to drive the rocket launcher back, but unfortunately, he knew that this was impossible, so he ordered the blow-up of the vehicles.

The gunshot alarmed the officers and soldiers of the Second Regiment. The regiment commander knew the importance of the rocket launcher and led a large group of people to run towards the position of the rocket launcher.

While using firepower to block the underground party officers and soldiers rushing towards him, the Japanese advance team quickly installed explosives on the rocket launcher.

The Japanese army moved quickly and quickly installed explosives. They lit the fuse on the explosive bag and evacuated quickly.

The officers and soldiers of the underground party saw the sparks flashing from the fuse on the rocket launcher and rushed over to remove the explosive pack.

Unfortunately, the fuse was left very short. When the officers and soldiers rushed to the rocket launcher, a violent explosion occurred, destroying all the rocket launcher. Even more than ten officers and soldiers from the underground party were killed or injured.

After leaving the town, the Japanese army's advance team did not dare to stop and quickly evacuated along the original route.

The regiment commander was extremely angry when he saw the rocket launcher being blown up, so he led the underground party officers and soldiers out of the town and pursued the Japanese army.

The Japanese advance team alternately covered the attack and retreated while fighting. The sky was dark and they lost their traces in a short while.

The regiment commander determined the direction of the Japanese army's retreat, and urgently called Tai'an City and reported to the Military Region Command.

After receiving the report, Gao Hong was very shocked. He immediately issued an order to all the underground party armed forces in the direction of the Japanese retreat, including the local garrison county brigade, guard regiment and other troops, to ensure that the Japanese advance team must be stopped and eliminated to relieve their hatred.

The Japanese army's support troops evacuated quickly and were intercepted by militia and county brigade along the way, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

The Japanese advance team was well-equipped and well-trained. The militia and the county brigade were quickly defeated, and they continued to advance towards the mountains.

After receiving the report, Huang Shuigen personally led a fast mobile force to intercept. When they arrived, the Japanese army had already entered the mountainous area. Huang Shuigen and others had no choice but to give up the pursuit.

Rocket launchers were the largest firepower support for the underground party armed forces of the Shandong Military Region. This was reduced by half and the next battle was not easy to fight. The underground party leader, Gao Hong and others were very angry and removed the regiment commander on the spot and investigated.

Under the leadership of the Super High School Operations Division Chief, the Japanese army advanced across mountains and crossed the mountains, returned to Xinzhuang Station, and reported to General Matsuda.

General Matsuda did not ask about the results of the battle, but first asked about the casualties of the advance team.

The head of the Operations Section is very proud because they lost a total of three team members this time, which is insignificant compared to the major results they have achieved.

General Matsuda was very satisfied with this and personally met with every operation team member. On behalf of the North China Front Army and the Peking Military Police Command, he commended and expressed his gratitude to them.

The Operations Chief and the Advance Team members were very honored. They proposed that some of the underground party rocket launchers had not been destroyed, and they were willing to stay and continue to search for those rocket launchers to destroy them.
