Gao Jiu said: "Let me take a look at the map first."

Everyone followed Gao Jiu to the huge battle map of the ninth theater hanging on the wall, and stood there quietly, waiting for Gao Jiu to speak.

Gao Jiu searched the relevant progress of the Wuhan Battle in his mind, and carefully observed the relevant place names on the map for a while, then picked up the baton, pointed to a location in the northern section of the Dabie Mountains and said: "Everyone

Please look here."

Following Gao Jiu's baton, everyone saw the inconspicuous location: Xiaojie Ridge.

The Xiaojie Ridge Defense Line is the last solid defense line blocking the Japanese army at the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. If it is broken through, the Japanese army will cross the Dabie Mountains and advance smoothly along the road. The Chinese army will have no favorable terrain to rely on to stop the Japanese army. Historically

The course of the Battle of Wuhan was precisely due to the fall of the Xiaojieling defense line, which ultimately led to the fall of Wuhan.

The officers of the Ninth War Zone were very familiar with the terrain conditions within their jurisdiction. They also believed that Gao Jiu's judgment was correct. Seeing that what Gao Jiu said was what they expected, everyone was relieved, because in this area they

Three armies, the 30th Army, the 42nd Army and the 70th Army, have been set up for heavy defense.

Deputy Commander Zhang said happily: "As expected, the focus of the Japanese attack is the Xiaojieling defense line."

The director of the operations department said: "Fortunately, we have already made arrangements in advance, so I feel at ease now."

Others also talked a lot, and the atmosphere in the war room became very relaxed.

Gao Jiu knew that everyone's optimism was a little premature. He asked: "What are the Japanese troops north of Wanjialing?"

The Chief of Operations said: "It's the Imamura detachment and the 16th Division of the Japanese Army."

Gao Jiu said: "Where is the Japanese 13th Division?"

The director of operations said: "According to intelligence, the Japanese 13th Division should be in the Anzhai area now."

Gao Jiu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this information may not be accurate. If my prediction is correct, the Japanese 13th Division is now following the 16th Division, and they will soon attack Yejiaji and the mall.

."

Yejiaji and Shangcheng are the last two battle fulcrums in front of the Xiaojieling defense line.

"This is impossible." Deputy Chief of Staff Li, who was responsible for managing intelligence, said immediately: "Anzhai is 800 kilometers away from the Xiaojieling defense line. They were still there last week in Anzhai, so it is impossible for them to appear in the mall."

Although Deputy Chief of Staff Li said this, Deputy Chief Zhang immediately became nervous because he believed Gao Jiu and previous facts had proven that what Gao Jiu said was correct.

He immediately said to Deputy Chief of Staff Li: "You immediately ask the Intelligence Department to investigate this matter."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li saw that Deputy Commander Zhang did not believe him. In front of so many officers of the Ninth War Zone, and so many combat staff officers in the war room, especially Deputy Director Wang from the Attendant's Office of the Military Commission, he felt that

He was slapped in the face, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Commander Zhang, there is absolutely no need for this. The intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Department have dedicated personnel responsible for monitoring the Japanese brigade and regiment levels. The 13th Division is such a large-scale

It is impossible for troop movements to escape their eyes."

Deputy Commander Zhang was a little anxious and said, "Go as quickly as possible if I ask you to go. What nonsense are you talking about?"

After all, the deputy chief of staff of the theater was also a corps-level general and a dignified lieutenant general of the national army. He was a little embarrassed by Deputy Commander Zhang's reprimand. He said unconvinced: "Deputy Commander Zhang, I am in charge of this.

The intelligence department worked conscientiously and never slacked off in the slightest. There were dedicated people responsible for monitoring the movements of the Japanese army, so it was impossible for such a big omission to occur.

Mr. Gao has been in Taohuashan during this period, and he has just arrived in Wuhan. I am afraid that his intelligence is just speculation, and we cannot decide on adjustments to our army's campaign deployment based on such speculation, right?"

Although the Chief of Staff also believed in Gao Jiu, he had been with Deputy Chief of Staff Li day and night, and he also believed that what Deputy Chief of Staff Li said was reasonable. However, Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang was a superior after all, and it was not easy for him to contradict his immediate superior.

He smoothed things over and said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Li, since Mr. Gao Jiugao has such a conjecture, you should send someone to verify it. Even if Mr. Gao's conjecture is inaccurate, it can relieve everyone's doubts. If it is indeed true.

, we can also be prepared."

When Deputy Chief of Staff Li saw that the Chief of Staff had given him the opportunity to step down, he stepped down and said, "Okay then. I'll go and ask the intelligence to investigate again. However, I still believe in the relevant intelligence from the intelligence office.

"

As he spoke, he walked out. Before he reached the door of the war room, he heard a lieutenant colonel from the war room shouting: "What did you say? Say it again."

He was answering the phone, speaking loudly and nervously, as if he had heard some urgent news.

Everyone looked at him, wondering what was going on. Even Deputy Chief of Staff Li stopped.

Soon the combat staff officer put down the phone and saw that the officers were looking at him. He walked over quickly and said loudly to Deputy Commander Zhang: "Report to Commander Commander, the 30th Army reports, the Japanese Army's 13th

The division appeared in the mall, and the forwards have already exchanged fire with the 30th Army."

"What?" Everyone was shocked and felt the seriousness of the situation.

Deputy Chief of Staff Li didn't believe it. He picked up the phone and called the 30th Army to inquire about the situation in person. After putting down the phone, he said with great embarrassment: "I'm really sorry. This is my dereliction of duty."

Then, he said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, thank you for the information you provided. I apologize to you for what I just said."

Gao Jiu smiled faintly and said: "It's nothing. The Japanese army is good at hiding things from the enemy. I was deceived once by the Japanese 128th Brigade in southwest Shandong."

Gao Jiu's emotional intelligence is extremely high. His self-deprecating words resolved everyone's embarrassment very well. Even Deputy Chief of Staff Li's favorable impression of Gao Jiu instantly improved a lot.

Next, Deputy Commander Zhang and others asked Gao Jiu some questions. Gao Jiu also gave some suggestions on the battle based on the situation he knew. As for how to adjust the combat deployment, since he was the ninth

He was unwilling to get involved in matters in the war zone and quickly resigned.

Deputy Commander Zhang and others originally wanted to have a banquet for Gao Jiu, but they knew that Gao Jiu was very busy now, so they did not keep him. They all sent him to the gate of the Commander's headquarters. When Gao Jiu was about to get in the car,

Deputy Chief of Staff Li stepped forward and said: "Mr. Gao, brother, I am very sorry for what happened today. I hope that when you have free time, I will come to make a favor to you. Please be sure to come by then."

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "Sir, you are so polite. When I finish the things at hand, I will host a banquet for you to come over and get together."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li became even more happy when he saw Gao Jiu being so generous. He personally opened the car door for Gao Jiu and sent Gao Jiu into the car.

Everyone watched Gao Jiu leave, then turned and walked into the office building.

The chief of staff said with emotion: "This Mr. Gao is admirable both in terms of his talent and his behavior. At such a young age, he really doesn't know how to develop such talents and accomplishments. He is really formidable!"

Deputy Commander Zhang did not speak. He felt deeply in his heart. He once had a great opinion of Gao Jiu because of his son's affairs, but now, he admires Gao Jiu very much. This is naturally due to Gao Jiu's talent and character.

Impressed.

He thought that it would be a gratifying thing if his son Zhang Keming could catch up to half the level of Gaojiu. Unfortunately, this matter was probably hopeless, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Shortly after Gao Jiu and others left the Ninth Theater Headquarters, they saw a car with a Fifth Theater license plate parked on the roadside in front. Standing in front of the car was a charming female soldier, none other than Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu parked the car in front of her, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Director Feng from the Military Intelligence Department getting out of the car behind Lin Yanni.

It turned out that the Fifth War Zone also had many things to ask Gao Jiu for advice. Director Feng was worried that when the young couple Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu met, they would inevitably be intimate for a while. Under the urging of the superiors, he couldn't wait any longer, so

So I came with Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said to Director Feng, "Director Feng, no matter how busy you are, you still have to let me eat, right?"

Gao Jiu has been on a plane for such a long time and was delayed here in the Ninth War Zone for such a long time. He is really feeling hungry.

Lin Yanni felt distressed when she heard Gao Jiu say this, and wanted to go enjoy a big meal with Gao Jiu right away. However, she was a soldier after all, and Director Feng was here again, so she had to say: "Jiu Jiu"

Brother, please hold on a little longer, and when the work is done, I will accompany you to enjoy the delicious food."

Lin Yanni took the time to spend some time with Gao Jiu, so she got into Gao Jiu's car and sat next to Gao Jiu.

On the way to the fifth theater, Lin Yanni wanted to have some intimate words with Gao Jiu. Unfortunately, there were Jia Liu driving in front and Li Xiaoshan sitting in the co-pilot. In order to remain reserved, she had to quietly hug Gao Jiu.

Jiu's arms, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked at Gao Jiu affectionately, and they were constantly discharged.

Gao Jiu stayed at the fifth theater headquarters for more than an hour, finally satisfied the wishes of the chief of staff and others, and then left.

Lin Yanni had already driven her car to the theater headquarters. Jia Liu and Li Xiaoshan drove back to the hotel. Lin Yanni was finally able to be alone with Gao Jiu.

As the saying goes, a short break is better than a new marriage. The two had already established a relationship before leaving Wuhan. After being apart for a while, the two of them couldn't wait. Soon after leaving the gate of the Fifth Theater Command, they met in a

At a relatively remote corner of the street, I stopped the car and had a hearty make out.

After a long time, the satisfied Lin Yanni tidied her messy hair and said to Gao Jiu: "Brother Jiu, what do you want to eat?"

After all this trouble, Gao Jiu became even hungrier, and he said, "You are the landlord, you make the arrangements."

The two drove forward, and Gao Jiu asked: "Is it your idea that Uncle Lin asked me to come to Wuhan?"

Lin Yanni said: "Yes and no. Director Feng asked me to send you a telegram to urge you to come to Wuhan. My father said that he had something very important to ask for your help, so I sent you the telegram."

Gao Jiu asked: "What on earth does Uncle Lin want to see me for?"

Lin Yanni shook her head and said: "He refused to tell me. However, he said it was a very important thing. I asked if it was a good thing or a bad thing? My father said it must be a good thing. This matter is difficult.

It’s a big deal, but if you get it done, he will definitely not treat you badly.”

Gao Jiu said with a smile: "Let me tell you, my father-in-law will definitely think of me if he does something good. Otherwise, how could he be my father-in-law?"

Lin Yanni's face turned red with embarrassment, she rolled her eyes at Gao Jiu and said, "You're not ashamed, who is your father-in-law?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "It turns out that Uncle Lin is not my father-in-law, so I have to ask someone else to be my father-in-law."

Lin Yanni looked at Gao Jiu, reached out and pinched his arm gently, and said softly: "You dare!"

At this moment, Lin Yanni's eyes were as charming as silk, and her blushing face was like a blooming peach blossom. Gao Jiu couldn't help but get excited again. He reached out and took her head, and kissed her hard on the lips.

At this time, Gao Jiu was driving. With this move, the car twisted on the road. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, otherwise something would have happened.

"Be careful!" Lin Yanni screamed.

Gao Jiu turned the steering wheel fiercely to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

Gao Jiu had never been so impulsive before. After coming to Wuhan to see Lin Yanni this time, he seemed to be a little unable to control himself. In fact, this is no wonder. After all, Gao Jiu is just a young man in his twenties. Since he traveled through time and came to this era

, he has been in a state of high tension, and it is normal to relax appropriately.

"People don't spend their youth in romance." Gao Jiu comforted himself with a self-deprecating smile.

Gao Jiu planned to do nothing today and just enjoy the world of two people with Lin Yanni, so the two had dinner and watched a movie, and then Gao Jiu sent Lin Yanni home.

Gao Jiu returned to the hotel, washed his face and was about to go to bed when the phone in the room rang. It was Lin Yanni calling. She said that after returning home, her mother Huang Peishan told her that the wife of Wang Xilin, the military commander, was here.

Many gifts were sent, and there was also a call from the Attendant Office of the Military Commission, hoping that Gao Jiu would take the time to go to the dark room.

Gao Jiu felt that the military commanders were sensible. They really wanted to ask Gao Jiu to go over and do things, but their approach made Gao Jiu feel comfortable. The intellectuals in the black room were not tactful enough and asked the Military Commission to come forward to suppress Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu felt that

Not very happy.

He decided to take the time to meet with the military commander first. As for the black room, he really didn't bother to deal with it. Those things were too troublesome and time-consuming. He had many things to do when he came to Wuhan and had no time to waste time there.
