Chapter 920 Self-knowledge is very important
The Japanese fighter brigade suffered heavy losses, and 22 fighter jets were shot down by the Taohuashan guerrilla fighter jets.
Why can the Taohuashan guerrilla fighters appear here in time and launch an attack on the Japanese fighter jets?
It turned out that as Gao Jiu grew older, he became more and more cautious, especially after the Japanese Kwantung Army launched a large-scale attack on Taohua Mountain and caused heavy losses to the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, Gao Jiu became more and more cautious in his actions.
This time the Japanese army suddenly attacked Taohua Mountain, Gao Jiu had to ask questions in his heart. He thought and analyzed carefully why the enemy did this? What benefits could attack Taohua Mountain bring to the Japanese army? Don’t they know that the Taohua Mountain guerrillas cannot provoke?
In this case, why did they sneak attack Taohua Mountain and what purpose they wanted to achieve?
After thinking in reverse, everyone assumed that they had attacked Taohua Mountain by the Japanese army, what would Taohua Mountain react? Of course, Gao Jiu heard that Taohua Mountain was attacked and would definitely return to Taohua Mountain from the Golden Triangle. I am afraid that the enemy's purpose was to attack Gao Jiu.
Not only Gao Jiu can draw such a conclusion, even Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming and others will also draw such conclusions. Gao Jiu is the backbone of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. With Gao Jiu at that, he can guarantee the future of the Golden Triangle and also ensure the bright future of everyone. The first thing they think about is to protect Gao Jiu. Therefore, everyone will think about this first.
Gao Jiu raised his vigilance and deliberately informed the Japanese Sixth Air Force to see what their reaction was.
Commander Kitajima received a telegram from Gao Jiu, so he asked the bomber captain to assure Gao Jiu that the Sixth Air Force would not intercept the planes flying to Taohua Mountain as they discussed in advance.
Gao Jiu and others became more and more alert when they received such a reply. The enemy suddenly attacked Taohua Mountain at night. This was obviously a conspiracy. The Sixth Air Force should have received relevant notifications. However, they did not mention this matter, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.
After a comprehensive analysis and judgment, Gao Jiu and others believed that even if the Japanese Sixth Air Force did not dispatch planes to intercept, they must be more careful. When the transport plane Gao Jiu was riding through the Sixth Air Force defense zone, a large number of bombers would be sent to escort the air.
In order to ensure Gao Jiu's safety, Wang Zhankui sent telegrams to the air forces in Nanyang, Kaifeng and Taohua Mountain, asking them to concentrate a large number of fighter planes at Nanyang Airport and be ready to come and escort Gao Jiu's transport planes at any time.
There is also a small episode in between. The chief of staff of the Japanese Sixth Air Force has noticed that Commander Kitajima might have been hiding the situation from him. He secretly sent his confidants to the airport for surveillance and found that the fighter brigade was preparing for combat. This proves that Commander Kitajima has made up his mind to send fighters to intercept Gao Jiu's aircraft, which means that he, the chief of staff and other members of the Sixth Air Force, have been betrayed by Commander Kitajima.
The Chief of Staff is not a fool. He discussed with his confidants. Everyone also believed that if the Sixth Air Force intercepted Gao Jiu, the commander of the Kitajima might be able to be promoted and rich, but the rest of the sixth Air Force would be in great trouble. Regardless of whether Gao Jiu was in trouble, the Taohuashan guerrillas would never let the Sixth Air Force go. At that time, the Commander of the Kitajima might pat the fasting and leave. The rest of them might not even be able to protect their lives.
The Chief of Staff and others considered it over and over again and decided to secretly inform Gao Jiu that he would guard against the fighter unit of the Sixth Air Force and would intercept his transport aircraft.
After Gao Jiu mastered the accurate information of the enemy, he decided to use the strategy and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese Sixth Air Force.
Gao Jiu guessed that the Japanese army would set up surveillance posts in the area where the Taohuashan Guerrilla Air Force passed by to accurately grasp their movements.
In order to lure the enemy fighter jet troops to dispatch, Gao Jiu flew normally. When he was about to reach Xiangyang, the transport plane he was riding turned and detoured to Nanyang. Other fighter jets continued to fly forward and participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese fighter jet troops.
The Japanese army would definitely set up surveillance posts from Xiangyang to Nanyang. Why could the Taohuashan guerrillas accurately find these hidden Japanese surveillance posts? This is not difficult, because the Japanese surveillance posts would definitely be set on relatively secret commanding heights, and there were only two hills from Xiangyang to Nanyang. So the Taohuashan guerrillas went straight to these two hills to search, and they found the Japanese surveillance team, which happened to use them to provide false information to the Japanese army.
Commander Beidao received a report from the fighter brigade captain, saying that a large number of fighter jets were dispatched on Taohua Mountain.
He couldn't help but be shocked. His face was pale and his mood was extremely heavy, because he knew very well that from this moment on, the Sixth Air Force had become Gao Jiu's mortal enemy and would never have peace in the future.
After receiving the report, the envoy of the Air Force Minister realized that his plan had completely failed and hurriedly reported to the Air Force Minister what happened here.
He is now starting to worry about his safety and requests to return to Tokyo immediately.
The Air Force Minister told Tu Feiyuan about this news, and Tu Feiyuan was in a very heavy mood. Although he knew it was not that easy to deal with Gao Jiu, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.
When he saw that the plan to send the Air Force to intercept was failed, he was still disappointed.
Tu Feiyuan could only send a telegram to Miura Jun, the director of the Kwantung Army’s Special High School Division, informing him of this situation, allowing him to continue to find opportunities to eliminate Gao Jiu with his courage and wisdom.
Xiangyang City.
Commander Kitajima knew that he had caused trouble this time, so he found the special envoy and asked the special envoy to fulfill his promise and take him back to Tokyo with him.
The envoy shirked that he would definitely fight for this matter with His Excellency Minister, but he must return to Tokyo first so that he can plead for Commander Kitajima.
After saying that, the envoy hurriedly left Xiangyang and returned to Tokyo.
The Chief of Staff of the Sixth Air Force hated the special envoy who betrayed him. When the special envoy left the headquarters compound, he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu and informed the whereabouts of the special envoy.
When the envoy flew to the Sixth Air Force airport, they came by a special plane, and there were two fighter planes escorting. The planes were staying at the airport of the Sixth Air Force Xiangyang. The envoy arrived at the airport, hurriedly boarded the transport plane, and flew towards Lyg. They wanted to refuel there and then continue to fly to Tokyo.
A fighter squadron of the Taohuashan Guerrillas at Nanyang Airport was already ready to take off. After receiving Gao Jiu's order, they flew to Xiangyang, and then bypassed Xiangyang under the guidance of the ground-based vehicle radar, and also flew towards Lyg.
The Air Force Minister's special envoy has been in the Air Force before. Although he had heard of Gao Jiu's power, he was in Tokyo after all and had no real concept. Now that he has experienced it himself, he knows that Gao Jiu is not something that a person like him can deal with.
He was very worried that he would be retaliated for staying in Xiangyang, so he hurriedly left Xiangyang. After the plane took off, he felt relieved when he saw that he was far away from Xiangyang.
Since I was in a state of tension, I felt very tired now, so I started to close my eyes and rest.
However, before he could fall asleep, an exclaim came from the cab of the transport plane: "I discovered the enemy plane."
The special envoy hurriedly lay on the porthole and looked out, and indeed saw a scene that terrified him. The shadow of enemy planes appeared on the upper left side of the transport plane, and there were seven or eight of them he could see. He hurried to the other side of the cabin and also found the figure of enemy planes through the porthole.
"It's over." The envoy was very depressed and sat down.
There were 16 fighter jets from Taohuashan guerrillas who came to intercept the special envoy. The two Japanese fighter pilots who were escorting were very brave. They went up to fight with enemy planes, trying to cover the transport planes to escape the battlefield.
However, all this was futile. Two minutes later, two Japanese fighter planes were shot down, and thick smoke was raised from the transport plane, and it plunged into the ground, then exploded and caught fire, and a thick smoke rose.
The Japanese envoy completely fulfilled his mission and then stayed in the Xiangyang area forever.
Commander Kitajima received a report from the radar soldiers, saying that His Excellency the Minister's special envoy was intercepted by Taohuashan guerrilla fighter jets and had lost contact.
Although he had strongly felt that he had been betrayed by the special envoy and others, he felt very regretful. However, after all, the special envoy also promised to help him, go back to plead with the Air Force Minister and bring him back to Tokyo.
But now even the special envoy was gone, and he had no hope at all, worried that the Taohuashan guerrillas would come to take revenge immediately. So he also found an excuse and hurriedly left Xiangyang City with some trusted personnel, wanting to go out to avoid it, and come back when the situation becomes clear.
The Captain of the Fighter of the Sixth Air Force knew that he had been betrayed. After flying back to the airport, he was very angry and wanted to go to Commander Beida to ask for an explanation. He found that the special envoy and Commander Beida had both fled Xiangyang, and was even more furious, so he pointed his anger at the Chief of Staff.
He found the Chief of Staff to question why he deceived them, so he lost so many planes and pilots.
The Chief of Staff was also very angry. After hearing the questioning of the Fighter Captain, he sneered: "Are you not the confidant of Commander Kitajima? Why did he betray you? You stupid guy, don't think about it carefully. If you take off to intercept Gao Jiu, can I stay here if I know about it? You stupid! That guy from Kitajima betrayed everyone in our Sixth Air Team."
The Fighter Captain knew that there was not complete trust between the Chief of Staff and the Commander. There had always been certain conflicts between the two. Originally, he was competing with the Chief of Staff with Kitajima. Now, he believed that what the Chief of Staff said was true.
He sat down in great depression. After a moment, he asked nervously: "Chief of Staff, what should I do if Gao Jiu comes to take revenge?"
The Chief of Staff looked at him contemptuously and said, "You idiot! I have already contacted Mr. Gao. His targets are the envoy and the two guys Bei Dao, and they will not target us."
Hearing this, the Fighter Captain breathed a sigh of relief.
He said with some shame: "Your Chief of Staff, I am really sorry. I was instigated by that guy from Kitajima before and opposed the Chief of Staff. I am really ashamed. I hope the Chief of Staff can forgive me. I will follow the Chief of Staff wholeheartedly in the future."
At this moment, a phone call came from the tower at the airport and reported to the Chief of Staff that the radar soldiers had observed that the transport planes on the special envoy and the escort fighter planes were intercepted by the Taohuashan Guerrilla Air Force, which can be confirmed that they had been shot down by the enemy.
Hearing this result, a smile appeared on the Chief of Staff’s face.
The captain also said with some gratitude: "These despicable guys deserve this."
Gao Jiu had no intention of dealing with the Sixth Air Force at this moment. He knew that the Japanese army would not give up. He was worried about the safety of Taohua Mountain, so the transport plane he was riding on flew straight to Taohua Mountain after refueling at Nanyang Airport.
Last time, Taohua Mountain was attacked by the Japanese Kwantung Army, losing hundreds of guerrillas. This time, a lot of guerrillas were lost. The hearts of the people in Taohua Mountain Village began to float. Some of the people who were originally in Taohua Mountain were willing to go to the Golden Triangle, but they stayed because of work needs. Now they are inevitably complaining.
Their complaints were reflected in Zhang Quan, Du Shengxi and Feng Xiucai's ears, and they also felt a little embarrassed. Jiu Ye had advised them to leave Taohua Mountain, but they could not give up their strong hometown feelings and continued to stick to Taohua Mountain. Peach Flower Mountain has repeatedly happened, and gradually it has begun to become a burden for Jiu Ye, which makes them feel a little embarrassed.
Especially when they heard that Jiu Ye was intercepted by a large number of Japanese fighter jets on the way for the incident in Taohua Mountain. If Jiu Ye had not made the judgment accurately, he might have been in danger.
They were worried and began to reexamine themselves. Is it wise to insist on staying in Taohua Mountain?
Just before Gao Jiu returned to Taohua Mountain, Zhang Quan, Du Shengxi, Feng Xiucai, Geng Hua and Liang Shihu discussed together whether to follow Jiu Ye’s advice and move to the Golden Triangle.
To be honest, except for Du Shengxi, they are all native Shandong people. Du Shengxi's wife Zhao Xuemei is a person who grew up in Taohua Mountain. Du Shengxi has no relatives. Zhao Xuemei is there, he is there. He has consciously regarded himself as a Shandong person. He still has resistance in his heart to the distant golden triangle. He still cannot give up Taohua Mountain, which has lived for many years and devoted a lot of hard work.
