Miller was very excited after hearing Gao Jiu's plan. He said, "Mr. Gao, you are becoming more and more like us Americans. This is a typical American way of doing things."

Gao Jiu said: "This is indeed what I learned from you Americans. When dealing with you Americans, you have to adopt your American methods, putting strength first, interests first, carrots and sticks."

Miller smiled and said: "Very good, I like it. Just follow your plan and we will be responsible for coordinating the rest."

In late March, Gao Jiu personally led the Taohuashan Special Forces, the Haibao Commando and 500 Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces, as well as elite soldiers selected from the American prisoners of war, to form a commando team. They crossed three areas in central Luzon Island.

The Bales Mountains launched continuous attacks on the Japanese army.

Within ten days, they captured 16 Japanese strongholds, including the county seat, and two mineral deposits, annihilated more than 3,400 Japanese soldiers, rescued more than 1,300 American prisoners of war, and advanced the anti-Japanese base areas.

More than forty kilometers.

The division commander of the Japanese garrison division in Manila once again dispatched the main force of the Japanese army, mainly the 82nd Brigade, with the cooperation of naval aviation, to central Luzon Island to seek a battle with Gaojiu.

When Gao Jiu and others saw the arrival of the main force of the Japanese army, they voluntarily abandoned some newly occupied areas and retreated into the Zambales Mountains. They avoided Japanese naval aviation bombings in the mountains during the day and came out to attack the Japanese army at night. Every night they attacked

It could cause considerable casualties to the Japanese army. One attack even hit the brigade headquarters of the Japanese 82nd Brigade.

Although the Japanese army had strengthened their precautions in advance, they still caused a lot of casualties, and even the brigade commander himself was almost killed. The main force of the Japanese army was forced to retreat dozens of kilometers and abandoned most of the recaptured Japanese strongholds.

In the next two days, the anti-Japanese army did not launch another attack on the Japanese army, and the front line was quiet for two days.

On the night of the next day, fierce gunfire suddenly rang out in Manila, and the Japanese division headquarters was attacked. More than a dozen mortar shells fell into the yard of the division headquarters, although it did not cause a large number of casualties.

There were casualties, but everyone including the division commander was greatly frightened.

Immediately afterwards, the naval port in Manila was also attacked, and a destroyer and a frigate were blown up in the port.

The Japanese division commander really couldn't deal with Gao Jiu's attack. He reported the bad situation on Luzon Island to his superiors and asked his superiors to send a large army to encircle and suppress Gao Jiu.

The commander of the Southern Expeditionary Force had to deal with Gao Jiu more than once. He was a little confused about the attack launched by Gao Jiu.

He held a military meeting and asked people from the Special High School to attend the meeting to analyze Gaojiu's intentions.

After the meeting began, the deputy chief of staff of the Southern Expeditionary Forces briefed the participants on what happened on Luzon Island.

The chief of staff said: "Gao Jiu is a bandit and is good at sneak attacks. The series of offensives he launched are not surprising, but in his attacks, he achieved his combat goals every time. However, during the attack

When the 82nd Brigade Headquarters and the Garrison Division Headquarters were attacked, they failed and failed twice in succession. What is the reason for this?"

Gao Jiu's fighting power is super strong and his thinking is meticulous. He basically never misses the battle or combat goal he wants to achieve. No one thinks that Gao Jiu's two actions in attacking the Japanese division headquarters and brigade headquarters, the brigade commander

Both the commander and the division commander were safe and sound. It was Gao Jiu's incompetence that led to the failure.

The commander quickly came to the conclusion that Gao Jiu was forcing the Japanese army to negotiate with him.

He said: "According to intelligence, Gao Jiu has formed a large number of anti-Japanese armed forces in the northern part of Luzon Island. He did not launch a large-scale attack on the southern part of Luzon Island, but only used a small force to carry out sneak attacks and created a

Two attacks were carried out, and the division headquarters of the garrison division and the brigade headquarters of the 82nd brigade were spared. It can be understood that Gao Jiu was putting pressure on the garrison division, forcing them to report to the southern dispatched army.

What does this mean?"

The director of the Special Higher Education Course worked hard to formulate a plan to sneak attack Gaojiu. Unexpectedly, he lost his wife and lost his troops. In vain, he lost the lives of Captain Yoshida and his 500 elite Yellow Army soldiers. For this reason, he

Feeling ashamed, he eagerly hoped to eliminate Gao Jiu and take revenge. Therefore, he did not understand the commander's intention for a moment.

He said: "Your Excellency, Commander, isn't Gao Jiu afraid of angering the Huang Army and sending a large army to Luzon Island to clear him? Luzon Island is an island after all and lacks strategic depth. As long as the Huang Army has enough troops,

, advancing in parallel from south to north, and with the cooperation of the navy and air force, I don’t believe Gao Jiu has three heads and six arms to be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression of the army."

When the commander saw that the head of the Special High School Course was questioning his opinion, he became a little unhappy. He scolded him with a straight face: "It's simply stupid. No wonder the army lost the battle. Is this how you collect intelligence and make judgments?"

"

The super high school section chief was a little confused by the training, but he really didn't understand what the commander's intention was. He blushed and felt thick-necked. He didn't know what to do, so he lowered his head and stopped saying anything.

The Special High School Section was under the direct charge of the Deputy Chief of Staff. The Super High School Section Chief was scolded, and the Deputy Chief of Staff also looked a little confused. The Deputy Chief of Staff personally led the troops to fight Gao Jiu, and he was more familiar with the commander. He knew

The commander was not willing to fight Gao Jiu. He carefully considered every word the commander said and understood his intentions.

The deputy chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think the reason why Gao Jiu attacked the garrison division headquarters and the 82nd brigade headquarters on Luzon Island without killing him was to use them to dispatch the army commander to the south.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveys the news. If I understand correctly, he wants to negotiate with us."

This is what the commander meant. Seeing that the deputy chief of staff fully understood his intention, he praised: "Yoshi, you are still smart. Gao Jiu wants to negotiate with us."

The chief of staff and other senior officers also understood that Gao Jiu's approach was indeed to force the defenders of Luzon Island to send a message to the southern dispatched troops and let the Japanese army take the initiative to negotiate with him.

As a result, the senior leaders of the Southern Expeditionary Force started a discussion around this issue. They decided to send Daisaku Kawama, the commander of the 15th Army, to contact Gao Jiu. They were acquaintances and had conducted many negotiations, so they were the most suitable.

Negotiation candidates.

The commander of the Southern Expeditionary Force was right in his judgment. Gao Jiu wanted to attack the Japanese army and force them to actively negotiate with him. If the Japanese army did not respond, he would continue to fight until the Japanese army understood.

What on earth is Gao Jiu doing?

It turns out that Gao Jiu is in an embarrassing situation now. He must rescue those Americans, otherwise, he will lose credibility with the Americans. It will be much more difficult to cooperate with the Americans in the future.

It is very difficult to rescue those American prisoners of war. It can even be said that Gao Jiu is unable to do anything at all, because the total number of American prisoners of war is more than 50,000. They are used as laborers and detained in as many as 20 prisoner of war camps, or

It was impossible for Gao Jiu to rescue them all at the same mining point.

If Gao Jiu rescued them one by one, it would be impossible to do it within a year or two. Gao Jiu did not have that much time to stay in Luzon Island.

Due to the special environment of Luzon Island, the entire Luzon Island is within the combat radius of the Japanese naval aviation, and they can launch air strikes against the Japanese army at any time.

Even if Gao Jiu could rescue those Americans and let them leave the prisoner-of-war camp, it was basically impossible to send them safely to a safe area. If these Americans were attacked by air raids and intercepted by Japanese ground troops during their retreat,

, there will definitely be heavy casualties, and he will not be able to explain to the Americans.

Therefore, relying on force to rescue these American prisoners of war is really a bad choice.

Gao Jiu must find a way to rescue these American prisoners of war safely at one time. The only way is to let the Japanese take the initiative to release them.

In addition to rescuing American prisoners of war, Gao Jiu also had a very embarrassing thing. Since Luzon Island was blockaded by the Japanese navy, it was very difficult for Gao Jiu himself to leave Luzon Island, whether it was to rob Japanese aircraft or navy aircraft.

If a ship is attacked by a Japanese aircraft carrier at sea, it will be a dead end. No matter how strong Gao Jiu is, he cannot swim directly from Luzon Island to the South Asian continent.

Therefore, if Gao Jiu wants to leave Luzon Island as soon as possible, he must ask the Japanese for help.

To achieve these goals, Gao Jiu must exploit the weaknesses of the Japanese and force them to negotiate with him.

On Luzon Island, the Japanese really have a big weakness, that is, Luzon Island has coal, iron ore and other large mineral deposits that Japan needs, and they are reluctant to give up here.

The troops are insufficient and they are not sure about Gaojiu. Therefore, in order to protect their interests in Luzon Island, they must be willing to negotiate with Gaojiu.

The reason why Miller said that Gao Jiu's approach is becoming more and more like that of Americans is because the Americans' approach to negotiation is not to establish emotional contact with the negotiating opponent, but to use the resources and strength at hand to put pressure on the other party and force the opponent to make concessions to them.

.

Of course, Gao Jiu would not give in to these Americans for no reason. He must get benefits from the Americans. Therefore, he first negotiated with Miller and others and put forward the conditions he wanted.

Americans meet their own requirements.

The Americans are just like the Japanese on Luzon Island. They also have their own weaknesses. On the one hand, five important Americans and the Haibao commando are still trapped on Luzon Island. Without the help of Gao Jiu, they cannot do anything at all.

Leave. There are also as many as 50,000 American prisoners of war. If the Americans want to rescue them, they must rely on Gao Jiu. Therefore, Gao Jiu has enough capital to negotiate with the Americans.

The Americans also have an advantage. They will not be soft-hearted when they can pressure their negotiating opponents. However, if their negotiating opponents are strong enough to force them to make concessions, they can also accept it.

When Gao Jiu negotiated with the Americans, there was no need to put pressure on them. The pressure brought by the Japanese was enough. Therefore, after they reported the conditions proposed by Gao Jiu to the upper echelons of the United States, the upper echelons of the United States agreed to Gao Jiu's proposal.

conditions.

Soon, Gao Jiu received a telegram from Daisaku Hejian. He hoped that Gao Jiu would temporarily stop attacking the Japanese army in southern Luzon Island. He would soon fly to Luzon Island to talk with Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu agreed to He Jian's request and stopped attacking the Japanese army. The Japanese army also retreated 20 kilometers automatically, and the fighting on Luzon Island temporarily calmed down.

Gao Jiu returned to Suwei City and asked Zhu Jianmin to send people to repair the field airport outside the city to welcome the arrival of Hejian Dazuo.

A few days later, Hejian Daisaku flew to the field airport in Suwei City, and Gao Jiu personally went to the airport to greet him.

When he saw Daisaku Hejian, Gao Jiu smiled all over his face and stepped forward to shake hands with him and say hello. Daisaku Hejian was also very affectionate. The two of them were like old friends, chatting and laughing. The difference was that Gao Jiu's smile was

From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Hejian's masterpiece could bring him good luck.

Daisaku Hejian's smile was a bitter smile. He knew that he must have been tricked by Gao Jiu again. He would only suffer a loss when dealing with Gao Jiu.

After the greetings, Gao Jiu said to Hejian Dazuo: "Hejian Jun, my men are going back to the Golden Triangle. Please send a transport plane to take them there."

Daisaku Kawama immediately agreed to this request. He asked his adjutant to notify the pilot of the transport plane and asked him to safely transport Gaojiu's people to the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu has already thought about leaving Luzon Island. He currently has two options. One is that if the negotiation goes well, he plans to escort the five important figures from the United States to the United States to meet Xiao Yatong. It is inconvenient to bring Lin Yanni and others with him.

, he wants to send Lin Yanni and others back to the Golden Triangle in advance. There is another option, that is, if the negotiation does not go smoothly, Lin Yanni and the special forces team members leave Luzon Island first. It is much more convenient for him alone, and he can even snatch

A Japanese plane flew back directly.

Gao Jiu had communicated this matter to Lin Yanni and others in advance. Lin Yanni was extremely reluctant to say goodbye to Gao Jiu. She cried for a long time last night, and her eye circles are still red.

Gao Jiu accompanied Lin Yanni to the side of the transport plane. He saw Lin Yanni's eyes were filled with tears and she looked at him with pear blossoms in her eyes, so he stepped forward and hugged and kissed her tenderly.

When the Haibao commandos who were on guard duty at the airport saw this heartwarming scene, they applauded loudly, and some even whistled.

Next Gao Jiu hugged Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and every special operations team member and said goodbye to them.

The transport plane took off, Gao Jiu watched the plane disappear into the horizon, and then accompanied Hejian Dazuo into Suwei City.

Gao Jiu and Daisaku Hejian are really old friends. There is no need to hold any formal negotiation ceremony between them. In the hotel where Daisaku Hejian is staying, the two of them drank some wine and communicated with each other, and they reached an agreement.
