Jia Junsheng hurriedly said, "Mr. Gao's incident really has nothing to do with me. I reported the situation of the Japanese army to the Chief of Staff of the Corps at that time, and I thought they would definitely notify you."

When Gao Jiu saw him telling the truth, his face turned a little better, and nodded and said, "Captain Jia, our second in command is my brother, I must ask him for an explanation. As long as you can explain the situation truthfully at that time, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Mr. Gao, I will definitely cooperate with you whatever you need me to do." Jia Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief, took out his handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his head, and said with some gratitude.

21st Corps Headquarters.

Deputy Commander Zhang was anxious and restless. He knew that Gao Jiu was leading the main force of the Sichuan Army to attack Jingmen County, and the troops of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army were going to launch a sneak attack on them from behind, so that they could be attacked from both sides. He was very worried that the Sichuan Army's troops would be eaten by the Japanese.

This battle was really cowardly. In an original offensive battle, the 21st Corps did not make any progress, but instead suffered losses. If the Sichuan Army troops suffered heavy losses, he, the highest commander of the front line, would have to bear a lot of responsibility.

He waited for a long time, but there was no news about the Sichuan Army, so he urged: "Li Fengming, hurry up and ask, what's going on with the Sichuan Army?"

Li Fengming shook his head and said, "Sir! I just asked, the situation of the battle there is unknown now."

Deputy Commander Zhang was furious and very angry. He called Xue Dongsheng and said, "Now the Japanese army is attacking the Sichuan Army's rear route, you can send troops to rescue immediately."

On the one hand, Xue Dongsheng was worried that his troops would be attacked by the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he was unwilling to consume his troops to rescue the Sichuan Army. He said in embarrassment: "Sir! I just received a report that the Japanese Sixth Division and the 11th Division were advancing towards the positions of our Corps. The war was imminent, so I could not send troops to rescue the Sichuan Army.

Actually! We have restrained most of the forces of the 11th Division and the 6th Division here, which has relieved the pressure on the Sichuan Army. They should be content."

Deputy Commander Zhang was extremely angry at his evil deeds of preserving his strength and not saving him. He pointed at Xue Dongsheng and said, "Xue Dongsheng, you are afraid of the enemy first, and now you are not saving him. Your behavior is really too bad. If the Sichuan Army suffers major losses, I will definitely report to Shangfeng and hold you accountable."

Xue Dongsheng didn't care about Deputy Commander Zhang's threat at all. He understood the commander's intentions too well. As long as he could protect his troops from losses, he would save the commander's direct troops. The commander could only be grateful to him and would never hold him accountable for the Sichuan Army.

However, he was unwilling to offend Deputy Commander Zhang in person. He said, "Sir! I am really powerless now."

At this moment, the phone ringing suddenly rang. Li Fengming took the phone and said, "I am the Director of Operations Li Fengming."

At this time, the excited voice of the deputy commander of the Sichuan Army came from the phone.

After hearing this, Li Fengming said excitedly: "Sir! The Sichuan Army won. Gao Jiuye took the Sichuan Army's troops to capture Jingmen County, annihilated the Sixth Brigade of the Japanese Third Division, and annihilated 11,200 people below the commander of the brigade Shinchi Shimada. In Qingsongling, they also annihilated a strengthening corps of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, annihilated 5,100 people below the commander of the Japanese Army. This battle also captured more than 2,800 Japanese troops, and the remaining results are being counted."

"What? Really?" Deputy Commander Zhang was overjoyed and couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Li Fengming roared excitedly: "It's true, it's true, sir, we won."

Deputy Commander Zhang clenched his fists with both hands, waved his fists twice in the air, and said sincerely: "Mr. Gao is Mr. Gao, who ate more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers with one move."

Xue Dongsheng originally thought that the Sichuan Army would be in great trouble this time, and even if it was not eaten, most of the casualties would be killed or killed. He really didn't expect that he would win such a beautiful victory. He was in a bad mood and looked very ugly.

In the war room, the senior officers of the 21st Corps were all in disgrace and felt that they were really cowardly.

Deputy Commander Zhang pointed at Xue Dongsheng and said, "Gao Jiu has only five divisions. Look at others and then look at yourself, Hi!"

Commander Zhang looked at Xue Dongsheng with contempt, too lazy to say anything further.

He said to Li Fengming: "Hurry up and prepare the car! Let's meet Gao Jiu now."

Deputy Commander Zhang and Li Fengming learned that Gao Jiu was in the headquarters of the 45th Army, so they rushed over by car.

After meeting with Li Fengming and Gao Jiu, Deputy Commander Zhang learned that the 45th Army had evacuated the battlefield without authorization and sent the Japanese 11th Division to Qingsongling, which caused Zhang Quan, the second in command of Taohua Mountain, to be seriously injured.

Deputy Commander Zhang was very angry and scolded Jia Junsheng, the commander of the 45th Army, on the spot.

Jia Junsheng had already expressed his cooperation to Gao Jiu. He felt a little aggrieved and looked at Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu said: "The responsibility for this matter is not on Commander Jia. He reported the movements of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army to the Corps Headquarters and fulfilled the minimum responsibility of a soldier.

The most hateful thing is Xue Dongsheng. He did not inform the Sichuan Army of such an important information. Chief Zhang! You must not know about this matter." "What? It is so hateful that such a thing is actually happening! He actually knew about such an important enemy situation and ignored the lives and deaths of friendly troops. It is simply worth killing!"

Deputy Commander Zhang was extremely angry. Xue Dongsheng didn't take him as the deputy commander seriously. Such important information did not report to him. Coupled with Xue Dongsheng's usual performance, Deputy Commander Zhang was really interested in killing.

Gao Jiu was determined to take Xue Dongsheng's life this time. He was originally unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the guo army, but this time it was different. Zhang Quan was one of his closest brothers. He was seriously injured. He wanted to give Zhang Quan and the brothers in Taohuashan no matter what.

Deputy Commander Zhang, Gao Jiu, Li Fengming and others discussed ways to deal with Xue Dongsheng. They asked Jia Junsheng, the commander of the 45th Army, to write a written supporting documents, and then returned to Chongqing together.

Xue Dongsheng is a senior general of the Guo army. It is not easy to get rid of him. Deputy Commander Zhang cannot act rashly. After he returned, he first asked someone who was strong in writing a very detailed document about Xue Dongsheng's crimes. He and Li Fengming did not disclose any information to the people around him. They had to wait for Gao Jiu to take action first, and then come forward to prove that he would catch Xue Dongsheng off guard.

After Gao Jiu returned to Chongqing, he first went to the hospital to visit Ouyang Xue.

Ouyang Xue already knew that Gao Jiu won another big victory, and he was very pleased to see Gao Jiu return safely.

When the wife heard that Gao Jiu had returned to Chongqing, she also came to visit Ouyang Xue and congratulated Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu briefly reported the story of this battle to his wife, and he focused on Xue Dongsheng's crimes.

What Xue Dongsheng did was indeed abominable. Not to mention anything else, it was very serious just that he concealed the intelligence of the Japanese attack on the rear of the Sichuan Army.

Thanks to Gao Jiu's precautions in advance, he arranged heavy troops on Qingsongling. If Gao Jiu had not made secret arrangements in advance, the rear of the Sichuan army was attacked, and the troops of several divisions on the front line would be attacked from both sides. Under the front and back attacks of the Japanese army, it is likely to collapse and lead to annihilation of the entire army.

At this time, Gao Jiu did not mention Zhang Quan's injury. He did not want others to think that Gao Jiu held Xue Dongsheng accountable because Zhang Quan was injured, which would give people the impression of personal revenge.

After hearing this, Ouyang Xue was worried about Gao Jiu because if the Japanese 11th Division troops successfully attacked the rear of the Sichuan Army, Gao Jiu, who was fighting in the front, would be in great danger. Therefore, she was also very angry.

Gao Jiu never mentioned these things to Ouyang Xue after he came back because he didn't want Ouyang Xue to worry.

Ouyang Xuebingxue was smart. When she heard Gao Jiu speak like this, she understood his intentions.

Ouyang Xue said: "Cousin, this Xue Dongsheng is really hateful! Brother Jiu almost couldn't come back because of him. If something happened to Brother Jiu, we both will not be alive. You have to make the decision on this matter!"

In the mind of the wife, Ouyang Xue and Gao Jiu are both very important. Seeing that the couple's attitude is so firm, and the wife was originally angry with Xue Dongsheng's behavior, she said on the spot that she would report to the big shots and hold Xue Dongsheng accountable.

After the wife left, Gao Jiu called the boss of the Military Control Commission. He introduced the Henan Campaign and Xue Dongsheng's performance in this battle of Yichang, and asked the Military Control Commission to prepare a document to confirm Xue Dongsheng's crime.

When it comes to persecution, the Military Control Commission is the best. The boss confirmed that Gao Jiu wanted Xue Dongsheng's life and promised Gao Jiu that he would prepare a piece of materials to kill Xue Dongsheng.

The battle in the Yichang direction came to an end. The 20th Corps of the Sichuan Army annihilated a brigade and a reinforcement corps of the Japanese army, annihilated more than 16,000 enemies, captured more than 2,800 Japanese troops, and pushed the front forward for more than 40 kilometers.

What is even more unbelievable is that the Sichuan Army's troops only suffered more than 4,000 casualties in this battle.

This is particularly commendable. It is difficult for the troops of the guo army to annihilate the Japanese army in a systematic manner in the battle with the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese army is eliminated, the casualties will usually be much higher than that of the Japanese army, and the war losses will reach less than 3:1. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, China wiped out more than one million Japanese troops, suffered more than 35 million casualties, and more than 5 million Chinese soldiers alone.

Therefore, this battle is brilliant.

The big man said with emotion: "Gao Jiu is Gao Jiu, and his actions are indeed extraordinary."

This great victory caused a sensation across the country. The Military Commission held a special celebration meeting. All officers and soldiers of the 20th Corps of the Sichuan Army were commended by the Military Commission. The newspapers in the rear reported on a large scale, and the 20th Corps of the Sichuan Army was famous.

The Military Commission was very satisfied with Gao Jiu and didn't know how to reward Gao Jiu. Deputy Director Wang, the attendant's secretary of the Military Commission, asked Gao Jiu what he wanted, saying that he would report to the senior management of the State Government.

Gao Jiu said directly: "I want Xue Dongsheng's life!"

Deputy Director Wang has a close relationship with the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone. He also knows that Xue Dongsheng is the commander-in-chief's beloved general. When he saw Gao Jiu so angry, he wanted to first find out Gao Jiu's background.

He asked, "Mr. Gao, what made you so angry?"

Gao Jiu said: "Director Wang, we are old friends. Let me tell you the truth. I will never let Xue Dongsheng go this time. The relevant materials have been sent to you. If you treat me as a friend, you will know what to do about this matter."

Deputy Director Wang heard it. Gao Jiu's words were threatening, and he told him not to get involved in this matter, at least he could not rebel.

As a person around the big guy, Deputy Director Wang is best at observing his words and thinking about people's hearts. He knew Gao Jiu's energy well and immediately said, "Mr. Gao, you will be dissatisfied with this. We are old friends. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do things."

Deputy Director Wang put down the phone and did not rush to inform the commander and commander of the Ninth War Zone. Instead, he asked: "Did the Ninth War Zone send materials here?"

An official from the attendant's room replied: "Director Wang, just now Deputy Commander Zhang from the Ninth War Zone sent someone to send a piece of materials, and the Military Control Commission also sent a piece of materials. I'll bring it to you now."

Deputy Director Wang first read the materials sent by Deputy Commander Zhang of the Ninth War Zone. In this material, there were testimony from the commander of the 45th Army, the situation report written by the commander of the Operations Director Li Fengming, and the opinions of Deputy Commander Zhang himself.

After reading it, Deputy Director Wang felt that the situation was a bit serious.

Then he looked at the materials compiled by the Military Control Commission. This material not only listed the crimes committed by Xue Dongsheng in this battle of Yichang, but also deliberately asked other troops to die when he was deploying troops in the battle of Henan to preserve his direct troops. When other troops of the Guo Army were attacked by the Japanese army, he remained motionless and refused to rescue him, which caused other troops to suffer major casualties and also wrote detailed investigation materials.

The Military Control Commission was even more vicious. They combined the materials from these two battles and even raised suspicion that Xue Dongsheng had secretly colluded with the Japanese army.

The Military Control Commission was very promising. They believed that in these two battles, other guo army units won great victories. He led the main force of the national army. Not only did he fail to achieve any achievements, but he lost his troops and generals. This made people suspect that he was suspected of colluding with the enemy.

The Military Control Commission wrote the black materials for persuasion. They not only briefly described the story, but also found a large number of witnesses from the 228th Division of the Northwest Army, the 93rd Division of the Northeast Army, the newly formed 187th Division, the 69th Division, the 44th Army, the 45th Army and the Sichuan Army. The materials provided by these people alone reached hundreds of copies.

Deputy Director Wang had completely understood that Gao Jiu was really going to kill him this time.

If it is normal, after receiving such reporting materials, if the person being reported is close to him, he will definitely inform him in advance, so that the person being reported has time to prepare and defend, thereby winning their gratitude. This is his trick to be a human being.

But this time it is different. Gao Jiu and the Military Control Commission are heavyweight, and these people are extremely smart. If he informed Xue Dongsheng in advance, they would immediately notice it, which would offend Gao Jiu and the Military Control Commission.

Deputy Director Wang considered it over and over again and decided not to inform the commander of the Ninth War Zone for the time being, but decided to hand over the materials to the big man first and see his attitude.

The big man was very satisfied with the results of this Yichang battle. After reading the materials, he was furious and cursed: "Xi Pi, this Xue Dongsheng should be killed."

Deputy Director Wang was startled when he saw the vicious look of the big man, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his body. He was glad that he did not inform Xue Dongsheng in advance.

That night, the wife reported to the big shots about Gao Jiu and Ouyang Xue and said, "darling. It's time for your generals to rectify them well. How can we win the battle if we continue like this?"

The lady knew the big shots so well that she decided to help Gao Jiu once. She knew what the big shots care about. She said: "Gao Jiu led the equipment and was not as good as the Central Army's troops, and the training was not as good as the Central Army's troops. Xue Dongsheng led the elite Central Army troops equipped with American equipment. If they fight like this, they will be ridiculed by others. Even Britain, the United States and other countries will feel that your generals are not doing well. At that time, it will be difficult to obtain their aid."

The big man cares about the issue of face, and he also thinks that Xue Dongxing is too unsuccessful. He originally wanted to spare Xue Dongsheng for the sake of the commander-in-chief of the Ninth War Zone. His wife's words harshly led him into the army, which immediately made him make up his mind.
Chapter completed!
