Wei Liming, commander of the Third Division of the Public Security Army, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Cavalry Battalion Commander Li Changshun, took a black car and under the protection of a platoon of soldiers, leaving Licheng County.

Shortly after departure, I saw a Japanese cavalry on the road ahead, holding a horse in his hand. It can be seen that there were two cavalry hundreds of meters on both sides of the road.

Wei Li knew that his judgment was correct, and Gao Jiu's people had already monitored the every move of their 3rd Division.

The car arrived at the cavalry on the highway and stopped. The cavalry saw the rank of major general on Wei Liming's shoulder and said, "Team Commander Wei, Battalion Commander Li, please come with me. My Ninth Master is going to meet you alone."

Wei Liming didn't want to meet at the cavalry camp, as there were too many people there, and it was very likely that the news would be leaked. As for whether it was safe to meet Gao Jiu, Wei Liming judged that there should be no problem, so he got on the horse. Li Changchun originally came on horseback and accompanied him to the roadside with the cavalry in Taohua Mountain.

After walking about a mile, I saw two people in front, one of whom was leading two horses, and the other one was Gao Jiu.

When Gao Jiu saw that they came, he took a few steps forward.

The cavalry in charge of leading the way said, "Team Commander Wei, we, Master Gao Jiu, are ahead. You can go there yourself."

Through the moonlight, Wei Liming saw the tall and handsome young man in front of him, his face vaguely similar to the portrait provided by the Japanese Military Police Command, but he was even more handsome and looked very friendly.

Gao Jiu said kindly: "Teacher Wei, I'm sorry, I'll let you go there in person."

Wei Liming hurriedly said, "Mr. Gao is famous and has long wanted to meet you. It is a great honor for Wei to finally get what he wants today."

Jia Liu, who was behind Gao Jiu, specially brought a few horses from the cavalry battalion for this meeting, and Gao Jiu and others sat down.

Gao Jiu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to Wei Liming and Li Changchun.

Gao Jiu usually doesn't smoke, but he usually brings a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. When talking to people, especially those who meet for the first time, he handed over a cigarette. Such a move can effectively alleviate the tension.

Wei Liming smoked, so he took it. Li Changshun usually didn't smoke, but he also felt that smoking a cigarette would be more comfortable at this moment, so he took it.

Gao Jiu took out the lighter and lit a cigarette for them himself.

Sure enough, the atmosphere between the three people seemed harmonious.

Gao Jiu said, "Teacher Wei, Battalion Commander Li, my brothers have the matter today. You are in central Shandong and in southwest Shandong. We originally did not violate the river water. I heard that you were going to hit my Taohua Mountain. Brother, I have no choice but to come and visit you in advance."

Along the way, Wei Liming had already thought of a word, and he said, "Mr. Gao, I have heard of your name for a long time, and the powerful Japanese are no match for you. Brother, how dare I provoke you!

You also know that our security army is now serving the Japanese jobs. The Japanese have issued an order, and it is difficult to violate the military orders. Please forgive me, Mr. Gao.”

Gao Jiu said: "It is precisely because I understand your difficulties in Commander Wei that I came to meet you. We are all Chinese, so there is no need to fight to the death. My purpose is to discuss with Commander Wei and see how to reach a tacit understanding so that the well water will not interfere with the river."

Wei Liming nodded and said, "This is the best. I'm here to meet you for this purpose."

Gao Jiu said: "I have an idea, what do you think?"

Wei Liming said: "Mr. Gao, please speak."

Gao Jiu said: "We are like this..."

After hearing this, Wei Liming said, "This is a solution, I think that's what I can do."

Gao Jiu took out a password book and said, "Teacher Wei, in order to avoid conflict between us, if there is any major action, please notify me in advance."

Wei Liming didn't want to offend Gao Jiu, but he didn't want to have too close relationships with Gao Jiu, because that was very dangerous. If the Japanese found out, he would be dead. Seeing the codebook handed over by Gao Jiu, he didn't reach out to pick it up.

Gao Jiu understood his mood and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Wei, we don't have to have any interactions in our daily lives, as long as the well water does not interfere with the river. But if you receive an order against Taohua Mountain, I hope you can still inform me the truth."

Hearing that Gao Jiu was so understanding, Wei Liming then took the codebook over and said, "A word is certain."

Gao Jiu took out another 10,000 oceans from his pocket and handed them to Wei Liming, saying, "Brother, I'm here this time, causing you losses. Please accept a little bit of a small heart."

Wei Liming promised to cooperate with Gao Jiu this time, and there would be a lot of losses. Although his superiors would supplement his losses, there would be a lot of trouble. Although this 10,000 ocean cannot make up for his losses, it is enough to handle the superiors and other expenses. Another point is that he also hopes to establish a certain friendship with Gao Jiu, so that if there is something wrong in the future, it will be easy to talk.

So he signaled Li Changshun to take over Dayang and said, "Mr. Gao, then that's it. We will be friends in the future. Don't worry, as long as the information related to your Taohua Mountain is related to you, I will inform you in time.

Mr. Gao, if there is nothing else, I will say goodbye, brother.”

Gao Jiu said, "Okay! That's all. Commander Wei, brother, I have a saying that I want to give to you and the brothers of the 3rd Division."

Wei Liming said: "Mr. Gao, please speak."

Gao Jiu said: "Japan is a small country, and the potential for war is insufficient. Don't look at their aggressive momentum now, the final failure is inevitable. What I mean by saying this is that I hope you will leave a way out in your work and don't be too cruel to us Chinese."

Wei Liming nodded and said, "Mr. Gao, thank you for your reminder. In fact, we have always done this. We are all Chinese. We will not do anything to death. Let's say goodbye."

On the way back to the county town, Wei Liming said with emotion: "I have heard that Gao Jiu is a character for a long time. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary. He is young and gives people the feeling that it is unfathomable."

Li Changshun had a good impression of Gao Jiu, and he said, "Brother-in-law, Gao Jiu looks quite sensible and it is not difficult to deal with."

Wei Liming said: "It's not that it's not difficult to deal with, but that we are not enemies with him. Hi, we won't talk about him anymore. We'd better not deal with such people. Just don't get involved in the well water."

Li Changshun didn't know why, but he felt very regretful. He was a tough soldier and admired a person like Gao Jiu very much. He really had the idea of ​​making friends with him. He sighed and said nothing.

Wei Liming said: "Don't go back to the division headquarters with me, go back to your cavalry battalion. Your losses this time are quite big. I will try to replenish your horses and equipment. In addition, I will give you another 3,000 oceans."

Li Changshun said gratefully: "Thank you brother-in-law for your care."

In Xiaoqiao Village, 18 miles northeast of Licheng County, Gao Lizhi, the commander of the New First Regiment of the First Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army, and Wang Huaimin, political commissar, looked at the direction of the county town with eager eyes, hoping to meet Gao Jiu and others as soon as possible.

After the brutal sweep of the Japanese and puppet troops, the new regiment suffered heavy losses, most of its personnel lost, and more weapons and equipment were lost. With their current strength, even a squadron that dealt with the Japanese squadron. They could not fight head-on against a battalion of the Public Security Army. They still had ways to supplement the personnel, but the weapons and equipment were very difficult.

They came here today because they received a notice from the Jinan underground party that they asked them to come here to collect weapons and equipment from Gao Jiu and others. This is a good thing about pie falling from the sky. How could they not be overjoyed?

Not long after, a scout ran back, and he said excitedly: "Report to the delegation leader, political commissar, Gao Jiuye of Taohua Mountain and others arrived."

The leader Gao Lizhi asked anxiously: "Where are they?"

The scout said, "It's two miles away from here and you'll arrive soon."

Political Commissar Wang Huaimin couldn't wait to say, "Lao Gao, let's go and welcome it."

Gao Lizhi said, "Okay!" After that, he pulled out his legs and left.

Soon after, they heard a lot of horse hooves, and then they saw a team of cavalry coming.

The leader saw Gao Lizhi, Wang Huaimin and others, and then stopped the reins of the horse and jumped off the horse.

Gao Lizhi asked, "Are you Mr. Gao?"

The visitor said, "I am Gao Jiu."

Gao Lizhi and Wang Huaimin went up to salute each other, reported to their homes, and shook hands enthusiastically with Gao Jiu.

Gao Lizhi greeted Gao Jiu and looked behind Gao Jiu from time to time.

Gao Jiu and others seized all the equipment of the Cavalry Battalion of the 3rd Division of the Public Security Army, and there were more than 200 war horses. The special forces team could not be taken away. Li Changshun also sent 100 cavalrymen to help them transport these war horses. The empty horses were covered with weapons and ammunition.

Political Commissar Wang Huaimin's eyes were also attracted by these weapons and ammunition, and he kept looking there.

Seeing them like this, Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Captain Gao, Political Commissar Wang, except for these war horses, the other equipment of this cavalry battalion belongs to you."

Gao Lizhi excitedly held Gao Jiu's hand again, shook it hard, and said, "Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Wang Huaimin shouted directly: "Comrades from the New First Regiment, hurry up and remove the weapons and ammunition from the horse's back."

The officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment had heard the regiment commander and political commissar that the Taohuashan guerrillas were going to bring them a battalion equipment. They were already ready to wait and were anxious. After hearing the political commissar's order, they surrounded them and happily unloaded their weapons and ammunition from the horse's back.

Gao Lizhi picked up a light machine gun, gestured hard twice, and said excitedly: "The equipment of the puppet cavalry battalion is really good, they are all good guys."

Political Commissar Wang Huaimin also smiled from ear to ear. With the equipment of this battalion, the strength of the new regiment immediately returned to its previous state, even better than the previous equipment.

The officers and soldiers of the New First Regiment were all smiling. With these equipment, the small group of Japanese and puppet troops were no match for them at all, and their backs became hard one by one.

Gao Lizhi was still a little dissatisfied and stared at the war horses again. He smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, you have seized so many war horses. It seems that your Taohuashan guerrillas had many war horses before. You can't use so many war horses. Can you give us a few?"

Wang Huaimin also looked at Gao Jiu with a look of expectation.

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, let's leave you ten war horses."

"Ouch! Thank you very much Mr. Gao." Gao Lizhi and Wang Huaimin were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

Gao Jiu said: "Captain Gao and Political Commissar Wang, let's study the next action plan."

Gao Lizhi said, "Mr. Gao, no, I will call you Master Jiu, what do you say about the next thing, we will all listen to you."

Wang Huaimin also expressed his approval.

Gao Jiu said: "The Yangzhuang stronghold fifteen miles away here, there is a battalion of the Public Security Army. You should take your troops to attack the Yangzhuang stronghold now.

After you get there, just fire your guns. After the gunshots, the people in the Yangzhuang stronghold will evacuate there. Don’t hurt people, just let them go.

It has been agreed that they will leave you a company of equipment. After you get the equipment, you set the stronghold on fire and evacuate immediately.

In the next few days, you will send a small group of people to the vicinity of Licheng County and fire guns at night. You can rest assured that no one will come to attack you.

We have other things to do, so we won’t go with you.”

Gao Lizhi and Wang Huaimin heard that the task was so simple and they could get a company's equipment for nothing, and they felt a little unbelievable. They really didn't expect that so many pies had fallen from the sky and hit them just in the head.

The two of them said goodbye to Gao Jiu reluctantly, and then led their troops to attack the Yangzhuang stronghold.

On the way, Wang Huaimin said with emotion: "This Master Gao Jiu is indeed well-known. He has only a dozen people. He can seize the equipment of a cavalry battalion and force the security army to abandon the Yangzhuang stronghold. It is simply incredible."

Gao Lizhi said: "The shadow of a man's name and a tree is really admirable. Unfortunately, Jiu Ye is in Taohua Mountain and in southwest Shandong. It would be great if he was here."

All of this was contacted by Gao Jiu in advance with the head of the Jinan underground party. The troops from the First Military Sub-district of the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army, took the action to attack the 3rd Division of the Public Security Army, giving the excuse of the 3rd Division of the Public Security Army being attacked and drawing troops to protect themselves.
