Ouyang Xue brought a cup of hot tea for Gao Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu, I'll go down to exercise."

Gao Jiu nodded and smiled gently at his wife.

Ouyang Xue also smiled sweetly, then closed the door, and soon the sound of her going downstairs came.

Gao Jiu's ears were extremely sensitive, and he soon heard Ouyang Xue coming back. Not only that, his steps were a little quick, and then the door opened.

Gao Jiu looked at Ouyang Xue in a little surprised, saw her anxious look and asked, "Ruoxue, what happened?"

Ouyang Xue just met Jia Liu when she went downstairs. Jia Liu handed her a telegram. After reading it, she hurriedly returned to report to Gao Jiu.

She said to Gao Jiu: "Brother Jiu, something happened in Taohua Mountain." As she said that, she handed the telegram in her hand to Gao Jiu.

After reading the telegram, Gao Jiu was very angry. He looked gloomy and cursed: "Damn Japanese, you dare to make ground on Tai Sui's head. This time I will never spare them. Ruoxue, hurry up and prepare for the transport plane. I will return to Taohua Mountain."

Ouyang Xue said with concern: "Brother Jiu, let's go after breakfast."

Gao Jiu nodded and said, "I understand, you go and prepare."

Not long after, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan, Li Chengwu and others rushed over after hearing the news.

After reading the telegram sent by Zhang Quan, everyone was very angry and asked to go back to Taohua Mountain with Jiuye.

Gao Jiu asked Guo Hengming, Tian Chuan and Li Chengwu to stay in the Golden Triangle, telling them to be vigilant during their departure. Since the Japanese army dared to attack Taohua Mountain, it was possible to attack the Golden Triangle. He reminded them to be more vigilant and report to him immediately if there was any situation.

Afterwards, he and Wang Zhankui, Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others took a transport plane and flew to Taohua Mountain under the escort of fighter planes.

Xiangyang City, the 6th Japanese Air Force.

Just the day before the Japanese attack on Taohua Mountain, at the airport, the commander of the air force, the chief of staff and others saw a transport plane landing on the airport under the escort of several fighter planes.

After the plane stopped, they went up.

A major general of the Japanese Air Force got off the plane. The commander and chief of staff came forward and greeted him warmly.

Soon after, everyone got into the car and returned to the air force's headquarters.

On the way, the commander asked, "Hengtianjun, what wind has blown you? How can you be in good health?"

Major General Hengtian was the special envoy of the Air Force Minister of the Japanese Base Camp. He made a special trip to the Japanese Sixth Air Force on the order of the minister and had important tasks to explain to them.

Hengtian saw that there were Japanese drivers and commander's adjutant in the car. He was worried about revealing the secret, so he said, "There is nothing special, I'm just here to visit you." After that, he winked at him.

The commander understood what he meant and did not talk about business anymore. He talked to him about their past events along the way.

After returning to the commander's office, Major General Hengtian took out an order signed by the Air Force Minister himself from his briefcase and handed it over to the commander.

After the commander finished reading it, he immediately looked embarrassed. Not only that, he looked a little frightened, and even a fine cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Major General Hengtian asked in surprise: "Keijima, what's wrong with you?"

The commander felt that he was a little out of control, so he laughed dryly and said, "It's nothing." He still couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Hengtian asked: "Kun Kitajima, how do you plan to implement the orders of your minister? Please formulate a combat plan and hand it over to me, so I can report to you."

The commander said: "I will discuss this matter with the Chief of Staff and others. We have prepared a banquet for you, and we will talk about this matter later."

After the reception banquet, Commander Kitajima arranged for the special envoy to go and rest first, and explained that he would talk to him tomorrow.

After the envoy left, he immediately found the Chief of Staff and his two confidants to discuss the orders of the Air Force Minister conveyed by the envoy.

The Chief of Staff and two confidants heard from Kitajima that the Air Force Minister's special envoy asked them to deal with Gao Jiu, who was in Taohuashan guerrillas, could not help but change his face.

For them, Gao Jiu is also an invincible existence. His air force troops have more fighter jets than the Sixth Air Force. If he annoyed him, he could directly eliminate the Sixth Air Force. What's more, there is also the elusive special forces team, who can sneak attack them from the ground.

Besides, Gao Jiu and the Sixth Air Force have always had business dealings. If you have money, everyone will make money. Why not do it? Why do you want to do such a dying thing?

The Chief of Staff said: "Your Excellency Commander, this matter is probably inappropriate. We don't need to turn against Gao Jiu. If we annoy Gao Jiu, the consequences are very serious and we cannot afford it."

One of the confidants of Commander Beidao, the captain of the Fighter Brigade, said: "The Chief of Staff is right. We don't know when the plane Gao Jiu was on passed by Xiangyang. The Taohuashan guerrillas often passed by here. Who is sure which plane Gao Jiu is on? If Gao Jiu is not on the plane that was knocked out, he will come to take revenge. How can we bear it? It is best not to do such unsure things."

Another confidant, the captain of the bomber brigade, said: "Yes, Commander, we have already made an agreement with Mr. Gao that the well water will not violate the river. Mr. Gao has not come to us for a while. Why do we have to take our lives to do such a thing?"

Commander Kitajima thought about it almost the same as everyone else. Seeing that everyone agreed, he asked: "How should I reply to the Minister's Special Envoy?"

The Chief of Staff said: "This is easy. You just want to tell when the Taohua Mountain guerrillas' plane passed by here. Even if the Taohua Mountain plane flew past, it is impossible to know whether Gao Jiu was on this plane. If Gao Jiu cannot be eliminated, it will cause a big disaster to the Sixth Air Force, and the losses of the Air Force will be incalculable.

Please go back and report to the Minister, it is best for our Air Force to not participate in the Army matters."

Both of the confidants also thought the Chief of Staff had made sense and suggested that Commander Kitajima follow this argument and deal with the Air Force Minister's envoy.

Kitajima nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just reply to him."

Commander Kitajima met with the special envoy and responded according to the remarks he discussed with the Chief of Staff and others.

Tu Feiyuan is a very smart person. He had already guessed that the Sixth Air Force would probably not cooperate because he was afraid of Gao Jiu.

After convinced the Air Force Minister, he also met with the Minister's envoy and told him how to deal with it if the Sixth Air Force shirked responsibility.

In order to allow the Air Force Minister's special envoy to contribute to himself, before the special envoy left, Tu Feiyuan also sent an adjutant to give the special envoy 20 big yellow croaker.

For the sake of gold, the special envoy decided to help Tu Feiyuanhara achieve his wish.

Seeing the refusal of the commander Kitajima, the envoy was not in a hurry. He said to Kitajima according to the statement that Tuo Feiyuan had given in advance: "Kejima, I understand everything you said. Your Minister has also taken special care of you and must respect your opinions. Your Minister has considered your concerns.

When will Gao Jiu fly from the Golden Triangle to Taohua Mountain, you will definitely receive accurate information tomorrow morning. Gao Jiu will definitely pass through the defense zone of your Sixth Air Force before noon tomorrow. Just shoot down the transport plane he is on. "

The reason why the envoy is so sure is that the soil is fat and round. As long as he sneaks into Taohua Mountain tonight and causes certain losses to Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu will definitely fly back to Taohua Mountain immediately. Therefore, they can conclude that Gao Jiu's plane will definitely pass through the defense zone of the Sixth Air Force of Xiangyang tomorrow morning.

Of course, the envoy did not tell Kitajima the source of intelligence mentioned by the minister.

Commander Kitajima was also a little moved when he saw the envoy being so affirmed. Gao Jiu was a very troubled person for the Japanese. Everyone hated him to the core, including Commander Kitajima. The reason for reaching a tacit understanding with Gao Jiu was not because he liked him, but because he was forced to do so.

If he could really shoot down the transport plane that Gao Jiu was riding in one fell swoop and kill him, Kitajima would definitely become a hero of the entire Japan and would be recorded in the history of history.

Commander Kitajima was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant, worried that if their information was inaccurate, or even if Gao Jiu really passed through Xiangyang, he might not be able to destroy it. In the event of an accident, the Sixth Air Force would basically not be able to live in the future.

Commander Kitajima repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The special envoy chosen by the Air Force Minister is naturally a personal talent. He has already seen that Commander Kitajima has been persuaded by himself, and it is time to get some real information at this time.

He took out a 500,000-ocean yen exchange bill and handed it over, saying, "Kejima, this is what the Minister rewards you. The Minister has promised that if you can complete the task of eliminating Gao Jiu, you will not only get a large bonus again, but also ensure that your position will be further promoted.

Kitajima Jun, this is a good thing to make achievements and glorify the ancestors. You must not let go of the opportunity.”

Kitajima was really excited by being incited, but he still did not agree immediately due to Gao Jiu's power.

At this time, the special envoy used his trump card and said to Kitajima: "Kejima, don't have any concerns. Your Excellency Minister has promised that if you send a plane to intercept Gao Jiu, even if something unexpected happens and fails to eliminate Gao Jiu, you will not be held responsible, let alone put you in danger.

His Excellency Minister said that as long as you launch an intercept operation against Gao Jiu, you can temporarily transfer you back to Japan, and you will never be in danger."

The envoy said everything to this point, and Commander Kitajima basically agreed, but he still did not make the final decision.

He said, "I will discuss this matter with my subordinates." After that, he stood up and said goodbye.

Commander Kitajima returned to his office and sat on the sofa repeatedly considering the interests of the matter.

I have to say that the conditions proposed by the special envoy made him very moved. This matter sounds like a big profit but a small risk. He really wants to follow the special envoy’s opinions and go out and do his best. If he really can kill Gao Jiu, he will definitely become a hero in the minds of the Japanese people and be admired by everyone, and he will not be able to escape promotion and wealth.

Not only that, according to what the envoy said, even if he was unable to kill Gao Jiu, he would be transferred back to China. No matter how powerful Gao Jiu was, he would not be able to chase him to Japan to deal with him.

Commander Kitajima repeatedly weighed the pros and consequently felt that this thing should be done. Therefore, he basically made up his mind to send fighter planes to intercept transport planes flying from the Golden Triangle as required by the special envoy.

However, Commander Kitajima was promoted from an ordinary pilot to a major general commander step by step, and was very cautious about matters in the officialdom. He always felt that something was uneasy and thought about it, and decided to discuss it with his confidants.

The captain of the bomber brigade of the Sixth Air Force and Kitajima were real fellow townsmen. They were juniors from the same village. They joined the Japanese army and became pilots together. Over the years, they supported each other in the same army. Today, they can be said to have absolute trust between each other.

So Commander Kitajima told the captain of the bomber brigade what the envoy talked to him.

After hearing this, the captain felt uncomfortable immediately. He understood very clearly that if the interception of Gao Jiu failed, Commander Kitajima could be transferred back to Japan. Those who stayed behind would face Gao Jiu's anger alone. This was equivalent to betraying them, and the captain of course was unwilling to do so.

However, the captain could not directly raise it.

He thought about it and asked back, "Your Excellency Commander, I have a few questions to ask you. Do you think you can?"

Kitadao said: "We are fellow townsmen and childhood friends. You are the closest and trusted person I have. You might as well say anything."

The captain asked: "What the envoy said is that they can accurately grasp the laws of Gao Jiu's actions. How did they master it? Do you think this matter is reliable?

If you can really master the rules of Gao Jiu's operation, determine which transport plane he takes, and when he will fly away from the Golden Triangle, and the 10th Air Force in Southeast Asia and the 7th Air Force in Nanchang, why not ask them to intercept?

Even if the information they provide is very accurate, do you guarantee that you will be able to land Gaojiu’s transport plane? Can you guarantee that you will be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to
