Kiyomizu Ichiro continued: "On the 18th of this month, a medal awarding meeting for Ayumi Hamasaki will be held in Jinan City. Before that, your department must strictly protect him and ensure the safety of Ayumi Hamasaki and no problems may arise."

After putting down the phone, Taro Takahashi immediately reported the order from the division headquarters to Colonel Tanaka.

Colonel Tanaka called Hamada Yoshiji and conveyed the division headquarters' order to protect Ayumi Hamasaki.

Yoshihiko Hamada was very depressed. Now only Ayuki Hamasaki knew about the terrain of the Taohua Mountain area and the situation of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. If Ayuki Hamasaki did not participate in tomorrow's operation, it would be much more difficult.

Yoshiji Hamada said: "Your Excellency, the corps leader, Huine is not familiar with the situation in Taohua Mountain. If Ayuki Hamasaki doesn't go, it will be difficult to find the location of the bandit's nest. Do you think this is OK? Let Ayuki Hamasaki go with her. Huine sends people to protect him specifically to ensure that he doesn't have any problems."

After Shimada's accident, the Japanese and puppet parties have fallen into a great passive position in this unfinished public opinion war. Now Ayumi Hamasaki is a national treasure-level figure, and he can no longer take risks.

Colonel Tanaka refused to agree to the request made by Hamada Yoshihiro, but asked him to go to Ayumi Hamasaki to learn more about the situation in the Taohua Mountains.

Hamada Yoshiji had no choice but to come to Ayumi Hamasaki's room.

Since Shimada's death, Ayumi Hamasaki's life has been difficult. He always worried that the Taohua Mountain guerrillas would suddenly appear in front of him. He couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, and the person had obviously lost weight. When he participated in the combat meeting, he had already decided to follow him to Taohua Mountain. He had witnessed the shooting skills of Gao Jiu, the bandit leader of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas. He was very worried that he would be shot dead by Gao Jiuyi during the trip to Taohua Mountain this time.

At this moment, Hamasaki heard that he didn't have to go to Taohua Mountain, so he couldn't help but feel secretly grateful.

However, he hoped that Hamada Yoshihiro could eliminate the bandits in Taohua Mountain in this combat operation, especially the bandit leader Gao Jiu, so as to completely eliminate the future troubles.

So he explained in detail his understanding of the terrain of the Taohua Mountains and drew a sketch for Hamada Yoshihiro.

After Hamada Yoshizuki left, Ayumi Hamasaki felt that it was still unsafe to stay in the 63rd Regiment. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and begged to see Colonel Tanaka.

Colonel Tanaka was upset when he saw Akira Hamasaki. He asked impatiently: "What are you asking for me?"

Ayumi Hamasaki said: "Your Excellency, the corps leader, Hu Zhi has an idea. Wouldn't the 12th Army Command be awarded a medal to Hu Zhi on the 18th of this month? This incident has been circulating. The anti-Japanese army in Taohua Mountain also knows about this matter. They will definitely prevent Hu Zhi from going to Jinan.

Now, our army is about to attack Taohua Mountain, and the bandits don’t care about chasing Beiyi. It’s better to take this opportunity to let Beiyi go to Jinan City in advance to avoid any accidents.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Colonel Tanaka's face. Sure enough, Colonel Tanaka looked contemptuous.

Ayumi Hamasaki hurriedly said, "Gei, the gang leader, is not afraid of death, but about the fact that after the gange dies, the man will use this matter to make a big fuss. This will once again put the Japanese Empire in a passive state in the war of public opinion and will cause trouble for our 63rd Regiment."

Ayumi Hamasaki's words make some sense, especially the last sentence - "It will also cause trouble for our 63rd Regiment", which moved Colonel Tanaka.

Nowadays, Ayumi Hamasaki is a hot potato, and it is not safe to put it in the brigade headquarters. Instead of letting him take responsibility for it if something happens here, it is better to send him to Jinan City. When you get there, it has nothing to do with you.

Colonel Tanaka figured this out, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask the division commander to send you to Jinan City."

Colonel Tanaka was extremely efficient in his work, so he immediately called the division commander and expressed his opinions. The commander of the 10th Division did not want Ayumi Hamasaki to have an accident in the 10th Division, so he agreed to Colonel Tanaka's request and asked him to send Ayumi Hamasaki directly to the 12th Army Command of Jinan City as soon as possible.

That night, the 63rd Regiment sent an infantry squad to strengthen a machine gun squad and sent Ayumi Hamasaki to Jinan overnight. In order to ensure the safety of Ayumi Hamasaki, he also put on the military uniforms of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

The move by Colonel Tanaka, Ayumi Hamasaki and others was really beyond Gao Han's expectations, and it caused quite a lot of trouble to Gao Han's actions to eliminate Ayumi Hamasaki.

Not only that, when Ayumi Hamasaki left the 63rd Regiment, he also gave Colonel Tanaka a ruthless plan, which was praised by Colonel Tanaka. Colonel Tanaka decided that if he could not get rid of Takajima this time, he would act according to Ayumi Hamasaki's plan.

At 9:00 am on May 7, 1,200 Japanese and more than 400 puppet security troops entered Taohua Mountain Area in two directions and officially launched an encirclement and suppression operation against Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

Hamada Yoshizhi led a Japanese who strengthened the squadron and the Public Security Army Brigade of Liu Shengyu of Shoucheng County, followed the road where Ayumi Hamasaki and others entered the Taohua Mountain area last time, and rushed to Taohua Mountain Village.

Thanks to the simple picture of the Taohua Mountains drawn by Ayumi Hamasaki, Hamada Yoshihiro and others made rapid progress. At 1:00 noon, they arrived in the valley below the original Taohua Mountain Village.

On the hillside in front, there was a fierce battle, leaving many traces on the battlefield. After searching, the Japanese vanguards confirmed that this was the location of the Taohua Mountain Village last time Ayumi Hamasaki and others discovered.

Hamada Yoshiji was very cunning. In order to avoid the attack of the Japanese army and cause unexpected casualties, he asked the Japanese troops to stay in the valley and sent Liu Shengyu's security army to search and advance on the slope.

Liu Shengyu and others cursed the devils in their hearts, but they could not help but command the soldiers of the security army to search and advance on the mountain.

Sun Yongan knew that Liu Shengyu's public security army was going to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Taohua Fan this time. He had told Li San that they would be careful of the various mechanisms set up by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and told him about the special marks.

Before entering the mountain, Liu Shengyu and Li San had already explained to their backbones that they must be careful of the mechanisms set up by the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas on the way up the mountain, especially when passing through dense vegetation.
