Gao Jiu was busy during the day and was talking and laughing with his brothers, but he was not lonely at night. But at night, he was still a little lonely alone.

The heads of Taohua Mountain wanted to arrange a woman to serve him by Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu refused. Although he was a mountain king, he didn't want to live like a mountain king. Besides, he already had his beloved women in his heart, and he was unwilling to be so careless in this regard.

After finishing his day of work, his favorite place was Feng Xiucai's place. The two of them said something quietly. Now, Feng Xiucai had just gotten married and was in a slutty stage with Wang Sanniang, so he was embarrassed to disturb others.

Another place he is willing to go is Wang Zhankui's home. Wang Zhankui's third wife is the daughter of the mayor of Linchuan Town, and is a woman who is very good at dealing with things. Gao Jiu went to Wang Zhankui's place and talked and laughed with the couple, and was able to relieve the loneliness of his spare time.

That night, Gao Jiu came to Wang Zhankui's house again. Wang Zhankui's third wife prepared wine and food for them, and then chatted with them together.

The third lady said, "Nine Master, now the Sixth Head and Wang Sanniang are married, and the fifth head and the fifth head and the sister Xuemei are pregnant. The second head and the fourth head and the fourth head have all have a good relationship. I think you are really too lonely alone."

Wang Zhankui smiled and said, "You woman is really worried. There are some women around Jiu Ye, who are beautiful, capable, and have good family backgrounds. They are much better than you, a silly woman."

The third lady didn't care about Wang Zhankui's sarcasm, and she smiled and said, "Of course I know this. Ninth Master is a great hero, and all the women around him are seven fairies.

What I want to say is that Jiu Ye is so lonely alone on Taohua Mountain. Since there are such a good woman, I might as well marry them back, even if I marry one first. Isn’t it good to talk to Jiu Ye tonight?”

Wang Zhankui agreed with her opinion and said, "Yes, Master Jiu, if you don't work, you can marry one first. I think Brigade Commander Jiang is good. It's not that I prefer boys over girls. Brigade Commander Jiang leads troops to fight all day long. This is really not something a woman should do. Just marry her back and serve you by your side. I guess she must be willing."

When talking about Jiang Xiaomei, Gao Jiu's eyes showed a smile. He said, "That girl is used to being wild. If she really wants to marry her back, she may be happy now, but after a long time, she will definitely not be able to stay at home. It would be better to just do this."

Wang Zhankui and the third wife didn't know much about the idea of ​​professional women, and they didn't understand Gao Jiu's words very well.

The third lady said, "Mr. Jiu, Brigade Commander Jiang, is a woman's house, fighting and killing like a man all day long. How dangerous it is! Since you like her, just marry her back. If she encounters danger outside and you are not by her side, how sad it will be."

The third wife's words reminded Gao Jiu that he suddenly had a bad premonition. Since he met Jiang Xiaomei, Jiang Xiaomei had never left southwest Shandong, that is to say, she had never left his sphere of influence. This time she traveled to Binhai County, thousands of miles away, and Gao Jiu felt particularly uneasy.

Gao Jiu couldn't sit still anymore, so he told Wang Zhankui and the third wife about Jiang Xiaomei's trip to Binhai County.

After hearing this, Wang Zhankui immediately said, "Jiu Master, it's not me who said you. Brigade Commander Jiang has registered with the Japanese now, and the Japanese hate her to the core. You only send a team of people to protect her, which is really careless."

As he said that, he stood up and said solemnly: "Master Jiu, I will set out with the cavalry team now, and I will definitely protect the safety of Brigade Commander Jiang."

Wang Zhankui's brotherly friendship moved Gao Jiu very much. He suddenly felt that what was he who stayed in Taohua Mountain for? What did he want to keep such a large guerrilla team? If his beloved woman might encounter danger and he would not protect her with all his strength, if there was a problem with her, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

He also stood up and said decisively: "Okay! Brother Zhankui, I will go to Binhai County in person, and you can accompany me to walk."

Not long after, Gao Jiu and Wang Zhankui led a sniper team, a squadron's special forces and cavalry team, a total of 340 people, left Taohua Mountain.

The 167th Japanese Division was stationed in northern Shandong. Jiang Xiaomei and others were going to Binhai County and would definitely pass through the defense area of ​​the 167th Division.

The 167th Division suffered heavy losses in the attack on southwestern Shandong this time. On the way to retreat, they were chased and beaten by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, and they couldn't swallow the division commander in one breath.

He really wanted to retaliate against the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong, but he was a division without the courage and ability. He could only swallow this temporarily. When the large army besieged Taohua Mountain again in the future and attacked southwestern Shandong, he would take his troops to avenge him.

That day he received a report saying that the Eighth Route Army was going to hold a meeting in Binhai County, and representatives of the Eighth Route Army were going to pass through his defense zone. He ordered the troops of the 167th Division to be sent to intercept the troops along the way.

On this day, Jiang Xiaomei and others entered the northern Shandong area. The first thing they had to pass was the defense zone of the 4th Division of the Public Security Army. Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Zhao Wannian in advance, asking him to control the troops and not have conflicts with Jiang Xiaomei and others, and sent trusted personnel to ensure that Jiang Xiaomei and others pass safely.

After receiving a telegram from Gao Jiu, Zhao Wannian specifically inquired about the movements of the Japanese army, but did not hear anything about the situation against Jiang Xiaomei and others.

Zhao Wannian didn't know that because the 3rd Regiment of the 167th Division was destroyed in southwestern Shandong, the 3rd Division and 4th Division of the Public Security Army were not able to rush to rescue in time, so the division commander of the 167th Division did not trust them. This time, Zhao Wannian did not inform him of the interception of Jiang Xiaomei and others.

Zhao Wannian made careful arrangements and sent his confidants to escort Jiang Xiaomei and others safely through his defense zone. In front was the defense zone of the 2nd Regiment of the 167th Division of the Japanese Army. Zhao Wannian's troops were not convenient for continued escorts, so he reminded Jiang Xiaomei and others to be careful and sent a guide to guide them to continue moving forward.

After leaving the defense zone of the 4th Division of the Public Security Army, Jiang Xiaomei and others could only stay in the day and walk at night. At 8 o'clock that night, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others continued to rush.

Tian Chuan's mission is to protect Jiang Xiaomei. He sent guerrillas to serve as the vanguards of this small army and searched forward.

A special forces member was marching when he suddenly found a black shadow shaking not far from the roadside. He became suspicious and asked the other two special forces members to continue monitoring the situation. He rode his horse to search.

He continued to move forward about 50 meters and found a large number of Japanese lying ambushed on the roadside. At this time, the Japanese also discovered him and shot him in a random manner. The guerrilla was shot and died on the spot.

The other two guerrillas hurried back to report the message, and the Japanese army chased them in the direction of their retreat.

After hearing the gunshots, Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others immediately prepared for the battle. Soon, two special forces members rushed over to report, saying that a large number of Japanese troops were found in front of them.

Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei, Yang Jiong, Tianchuan and others negotiated urgently and decided to return immediately. They are cavalry units and move very quickly and should be able to get rid of the enemy very quickly.

However, they were not long after they walked, and they were attacked by the enemy's firepower. Now the enemy has been found in both north and south directions. Due to the unclear situation of the enemy, everyone was not sure that they should break east or west.

At this moment, Tianchuan suggested that during this period, the enemy was suddenly discovered in the south and north directions. It is very likely that the Japanese army had known their whereabouts and set up ambushes. In this case, there may also be ambushes from the east and west directions.

For safety reasons, you should first find a place with relatively complex terrain to stick to it, judge the enemy situation clearly, and then break through. If you cannot break through, you can ask Zhao Wannian's 4th Division to conduct rescue.

Everyone felt it made sense, so they hurriedly asked the guide. The guide said that there was a small village from Sanli Road, west of here, with about 30 families, who could temporarily hide.

This generation of Shandong is all plains, and this small village is the only terrain they can use. So everyone no longer hesitated and immediately rushed towards the direction of the village.

After Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others arrived at the small village, they did not find any enemy for the time being. So they decided to bypass the village and continue to break out to the west.

But when they passed the village less than 500 meters, they met a large group of Japanese troops. The enemy was a large number and the firepower was very strong. It was obvious that forcibly breaking through the siege would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Now their only choice is to retreat to this small village and stay waiting for help.

Shortly after Gao Hong and others entered the village, the Japanese army surrounded them from all sides. They did not rush to launch an attack, but built fortifications on the spot and surrounded the village tightly, intending to wait until dawn before launching an attack.

The division commander of the 167th Division of the Japanese Army received a report saying that he had surrounded an anti-Japanese army, and he immediately instructed the nearby Japanese army to go for reinforcements.

A large number of Japanese troops flocked to the ground, and soon after, the Japanese troops outside the small village had reached the scale of a brigade.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to set up an ambush here was actually because of Yoshihiro Hamada. He arranged intelligence officers and monitored the whereabouts of Jiang Xiaomei and others along the way, constantly providing the information to the 167th Division of the Japanese army. This time he did not want to rob the meritorious service and did not expose the background of the special high school class. He informed the information to the 167th Division of the Japanese army as a traitor. He wanted to kill people with a knife, and planned to get rid of Jiang Xiaomei and ask Gao Jiu to settle the score with the 167th Division.

While organizing troops to repair fortifications, Jiang Xiaomei and others sent a telegram for help to Zhao Wannian.

After encountering danger, Jiang Xiaomei thought of Gao Jiu immediately. However, she knew that Gao Jiu was far away in Taohua Mountain at this time, and was thousands of miles away from it. Even if he was notified, he could not come to rescue him. She didn't want to disturb Gao Jiu and let him worry for himself for nothing.

Therefore, Gao Hong and others first sent a telegram to Zhao Wannian for help, and then sent a telegram to the Shandong Working Committee of the Underground Party, asking them to notify nearby Eighth Route Army troops to come for rescue.

Zhao Wannian did not dare to neglect after receiving the telegram. He knew the importance of Jiang Xiaomei to Gao Jiu, so he personally mobilized a regiment's troops to prepare for reinforcements.

However, they soon discovered that the Japanese army had blocked their way in front.

The Japanese army did not trust the security army, so they specifically blocked the security army to prevent the security army from rescuing Jiang Xiaomei and others.

Zhao Wannian is still unable to publicly turn against the Japanese. Seeing that there were a large number of Japanese troops in front of him, he could not wipe them out quietly, so he had to go forward and negotiate with them, saying that the security army had heard of the emergence of the anti-Japanese army and came to help.

The Japanese army could not tell the authenticity, but they did not believe in the security army and ordered the security army to return to the barracks immediately, otherwise they would treat them as rebels.

Zhao Wannian had no choice but to let the troops return to the camp. He first sent a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei, explaining the situation here, saying that he could not help, and asked Jiang Xiaomei and others to ask for blessings.

Later, Zhao Wannian decided to send a telegram to inform Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu quickly replied to the telegram, asking Jiang Xiaomei and others where they were, saying that he would arrive soon and let the public security army protect him and not participate in this matter.

Zhao Wannian felt very magical. He felt that Gao Jiu was a divine weapon that came from the sky and did not understand why he suddenly appeared in northern Shandong.

Jiang Xiaomei and others were surrounded in the small village, with enemies everywhere outside, constantly firing fire at Jiang Xiaomei and others to prevent them from breaking out.

There are too many enemies. If you forcefully break through the siege, you may not be able to rush forward to the enemy and the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out.

After receiving a telegram from Zhao Wannian, everyone felt that the situation was a bit serious. Soon after, the underground party also sent a telegram saying that they had launched a rescue operation. However, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of troops to guard the major transportation routes leading to the base area. The Eighth Route Army had limited troops in this area, so it was difficult for them to break through the Japanese army's obstruction, so that Jiang Xiaomei and others could try to break through.

Foreign players couldn't wait, and everyone was a little depressed. Jiang Xiaomei really couldn't imagine that her young life would be ruined here. She was not afraid of death, but she couldn't bear to leave Brother Jiu, and she didn't want to leave her dear Brother Jiu like this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Gao Hong and Yang Jiong thought of Gao Jiu at this moment. Although they knew that Gao Jiu was in Taohua Mountain, they still wanted to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu could urge Zhao Wannian. His troops were strong and that Zhao Wannian could send troops to rescue them.

After Gao Hong and Yang Jiong discussed it, Yang Jiong came to Jiang Xiaomei and said, "Brave Commander Jiang, please send a telegram to Master Jiu. Maybe he will have a solution."

Jiang Xiaomei thought that Gao Jiu was in Taohua Mountain, and even if he told him, he would not be able to help. Zhao Wannian had already told him about his difficult situation, so Gao Jiu might not be able to force them to continue to come and save people.

She shook her head and said, "What's the use of telling him? He is far away in Taohua Mountain, so don't worry him."

Gao Hong and Yang Jiong understood her feelings and felt that she made sense. So they stopped forcing and commanded the troops to strengthen their offensives, determined to stick to the small village, delay time as much as possible, and win over the rescue troops of the Eighth Route Army, so as to break through the encirclement and provide reinforcements. Therefore, they sent a telegram to the Shandong Working Committee again, explaining the situation here in detail, saying that they could hold on here for a few days, hoping to mobilize the troops of the Eighth Route Army Shandong Military Region to come to rescue.

The Shandong Working Committee of the Underground Party was very concerned about the matter of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district. They had weak troops in this area, so they sent a telegram to the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, urging them to rescue Gao Hong, Jiang Xiaomei and others no matter what.

The Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army issued a death order to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army and the militia guerrillas in northern Shandong, asking them to attack and advance in the direction of Jiang Xiaomei and others. However, the Japanese army had strong troops and suffered heavy losses, and the rescue work was very slow.

The Shandong Working Committee of the Eighth Route Army had to send a telegram to Jiang Xiaomei and others again, telling them the truth, and letting them stand firm and get time to wait for rescue. If conditions permit, they should still try to break through on their own.

Gao Hong, Yang Jiong, Jiang Xiaomei and others all knew that they were really going to die here this time. Everyone's hearts were filled with tragic emotions, and they were ready to fight to the death with the Japanese army after dawn.

Suddenly, Tian Chuan ran over and said in surprise: "Brig Commander Jiang, Master Jiu is here!"

Gao Hong and Yang Jiongyang were excited and looked at Tian Chuan in disbelief. They didn't understand why Gao Jiu suddenly appeared here?

"What? Brother Jiu is here?" Jiang Xiaomei said in confusion. She took the telegram and saw that it said: "Girl! Don't worry, Brother Jiu is here, now it's less than 20 miles away from you. Be careful! Wait for Brother Jiu to come to save you."
