Yudong County.

Chu Tianxiong, the stationmaster of the Nanchang Station of the Military Commission, came to fool Wu Tianming by Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Commission headquarters. He also wanted to establish a friend relationship with Gao Jiu through this matter. Therefore, he exaggerated Gao Jiu's military command ability and his deep background in the Guo Mansion.

Wu Tianming and others are now even more worried that they will cause unbearable consequences if they offend Gao Jiu.

I heard that Gao Jiu would come to Yudong County tonight, but Wu Tianming and others dared not sleep. They waited until 12 o'clock in the evening, and news about Gao Jiu finally came from the east gate of Yudong County.

The soldiers guarding the gate called and reported that there was a Mr. Gao asking to see Commander Wu.

Accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue drove to the county gate and went to greet Gao Jiu in person.

Gao Jiu and others were at the gate of the county town. Not long after, they saw two cars coming over and soon stopped in front of him, and got out of the car a lieutenant general and two colonel officers.

Gao Jiu looked at them and identified their identities.

There is only one lieutenant general in the 62nd Division, and this lieutenant general is naturally Wu Tianming. The other two colonels are easy to identify. The tall one is Chu Tianxiong, the stationmaster of the Nanchang Station of the Military Control Commission, and the other one is of course Wang Wenxue, the chief of staff of the 62nd Division.

Although Wu Tianming, Wang Wenxue and Chu Tianxiong had already known that Gao Jiu was very young, they were still a little surprised when they saw him. Because Gao Jiu was too young, only in his twenties, he had done so many big things and made such a big name.

Gao Jiu walked over to Wu Tianming.

Gao Jiu is now the deputy director of the collegial training headquarters. He is also wearing the military uniform and in front of the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division, Gao Jiu also gave Wu Tianming face. So Gao Jiu stepped forward to salute Wu Tianming first according to the etiquette of the army, and reported to his home and said, "The deputy director of the Ninth War Zone Training Headquarters, Gao Jiu."

Wu Tianming was uneasy before seeing Gao Jiu. Seeing Gao Jiu's humility and courtesy, he immediately developed some favors to him. He hurriedly returned the greeting to Gao Jiu, and also reported to his home, saying, "Wu Tianming, commander of the 62nd Division of the 29th Army."

After saying that, he took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Gao Jiu to say hello.

Gao Jiu had never met Chu Tianxiong before. However, in the telegram, Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Military Command Headquarters had already described Chu Tianxiong's appearance. According to the agreement in advance, he and Chu Tianxiong saluted each other, held Chu Tianxiong's hand and said, "Brother Chu, I'm very happy that we're meeting again."

Chu Tianxiong has been observing him since he met Gao Jiu. The army attaches great importance to the superiors and etiquette. When he saw the etiquette between Gao Jiu and Wu Tianming, he also had a good impression of Gao Jiu. Seeing Gao Jiu greeting him, he immediately looked kind and said, "Yes, I haven't met for some days. This time, our brothers should have a good drink."

Next, Gao Jiu greeted each other with Wang Wenxue, the chief of staff of the 62nd Division.

Back at the headquarters of the 62nd Division, accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue hosted a banquet for Gao Jiu.

Wu Tianming had always been worried that Gao Jiu would come to cause trouble for him. After three glasses of wine, he winked at Wang Wenxue.

Wang Wenxue said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, the seizure of weapons and ammunition is purely a misunderstanding. If we knew that the supplies were yours, we would never do such a thing, and we would definitely send troops to help you escort them."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I won't mention this matter. Haven't you helped me deliver weapons and ammunition? Then thank Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

When Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue saw Gao Jiu so generous, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and their attitude became more and more enthusiastic.

After everyone chatted for a while, Gao Jiu began to turn the topic.

Gao Jiu said: "Teacher Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, Stationmaster Chu is my good friend of brothers. You are good friends of Stationmaster Chu. We can also say that we are friends. Friends should take care of each other, right?"

Wu Tianming heard something from Gao Jiu's words, and it seemed that something was wrong with him, which made Gao Jiu dissatisfied. He asked: "Mr. Gao, of course, I am good friends with Webmaster Chu. Brother, I have something wrong with me, so please give me some advice."

Gao Jiu said: "Teacher Wu, don't get me wrong. We have no holidays. What I want to say is something related to you."

Wu Tianming asked curiously: "It has something to do with us? What exactly is it? Please give me some advice."

Gao Jiu said: "I am now bringing the supplementary regiment to fight and block the attack. There are liaison officers sent by the head of the Fifth War Zone. They came from Chenzhuang, and saw some things. They seemed to have some opinions about your 62nd Division. I didn't believe it at the time, but they said that your 62nd Division gave up their positions after seeing the Japanese. At that time, an officer and a squad of soldiers were left behind to observe around. It seemed that they really saw something."

When Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were not afraid of the head of the Ninth War Zone, if they seized the real handle and went to the Military Commission, it would be a big trouble.

Wang Wenxue said nervously: "Mr. Gao, this is not the case at all. We have reported the specific situation to the Chief Officer. Maybe the liaison officer of the Chief Officer mistakenly."

He was testing Gao Jiu's attitude and wanted to find out how much the matter was.

Wu Tianming also looked at Gao Jiu and heard what he said.

Gao Jiu said: "I don't believe this matter very much, so I suppressed it and did not let them report it to the chief department. I personally came to the 62nd Division to understand the situation, and after I understand it clearly, I will decide whether to report it."

Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue are both smart people. When they hear this, they understand that the things he gave up on Chenzhuang must have been seen by others. Gao Jiu suppressed this matter and went here to say that he was giving them face.

Of course, Gao Jiu would not be a good person for no reason, he would definitely have other requirements.

Before Gao Jiu came, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue had already discussed that in order to appease Gao Jiu, they thought of giving Gao Jiu some benefits. They guessed that Gao Jiu might be short of weapons and ammunition, but when they saw that they had brought such a large number of weapons and ammunition, they only had money to give Gao Jiu, so they made preparations in advance.

Wu Tianming said: "Mr. Gao is still fair. Thank you for your trust in our 62nd Division." As he said that, he winked Wang Wenxue.

Wang Wenxue took out a leather bag and opened it for Gao Jiu to take a look. There were ten big yellow croakers inside. He said: "Our 62nd Division accidentally seized your weapons, ammunition and supplies. We feel very embarrassed about this matter. Commander Wu and I apologize to you. Please accept it if you have any intention."

Wang Wenxue's excuse for giving gifts was to eliminate the misunderstandings caused by seizing weapons and ammunition. In fact, he wanted Gao Jiu to cover up the big and small Chenzhuang for them.

In this era, when it comes to receiving gifts, unless you don’t want to deal with the gift-giver in the future, or if the gift-giver is of bad character, you still have to accept other people’s gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver gift-giver

Gao Jiu was not a raw melon seed, so he would not do such a stupid thing. He took the bag without hesitation and said, "It's okay, don't mention this matter in the future."

Sure enough, when Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue were relieved when they saw Gao Jiu accepting the gift, the atmosphere at the table became even more lively.

Everyone was drinking and drinking a few more drinks, Gao Jiu said, "Brother, I'm here this time, and there is another thing I have to discuss with Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

Seeing that Gao Jiu had accepted his gift, Wu Tianming became closer and closer. He leaned closer and said, "Brother Gao, just say anything if you have anything."

Gao Jiu said, "Brother, I am in Taohua Mountain. Although there are all the territories of the Japanese and traitors around, my life is very comfortable. Our Taohua Mountain is not as poor as ordinary people think. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. It is a good place for outings.

Our cottage has electric lights, telephones, hospitals, cafes, libraries, gyms, dance halls, and cinemas. The supplies are sufficient and life is very comfortable."

In the minds of Wu Tianming, Wang Wenxue, Chu Tianxiong and others, the bandits' village was that there were several broken houses on the top of the mountain. The situation in Taohua Mountain mentioned by Gao Jiu was completely beyond their understanding.

Wang Wenxue said: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Gao could build Taohua Mountain like this in such a dangerous environment behind enemy lines. It's admirable."

Gao Jiu said, "Brother, I stayed there well, why did I run to Wuhan to fight the Japanese? I always feel that this person can't always make a plan for himself. In addition to eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping, this person also has to pursue it.

As a man, especially a soldier, when he catches up with the war era, he has to do something exciting, otherwise he will feel regretful when he gets old.

The little Japanese came to our China to burn, kill and loot. As a Chinese soldier, it would be a shame if he could not fight against him and make achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Brother, I am here today to discuss with the division commander and Chief Wang, let’s fight together.”

After hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue were reluctant. They looked at each other without saying a word.

Gao Jiu knew their thoughts and continued, "It turns out that the supplementary regiment of your 62nd Division has the combat effectiveness. Those guys are all rookies, but can you think of it? They defeated a Japanese infantry brigade near Xinfeng and Bridge and wiped out more than 500 Japanese devils. Just before I came, the rookies of the supplementary regiment repelled the attack of the Japanese reinforcement regiment and wiped out hundreds of Japanese devils. And I can be sure that the Japanese reinforcements would never be able to pass through the areas they defended."

Hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue were a little overwhelmed. In their eyes, the supplementary regiment was just cannon fodder and was not worth mentioning at all. At the reinforcements of the 3rd Japanese Division, their 62nd Japanese Division basically gave up their positions without a single shot. The supplementary regiment they looked down on could block the reinforcements of the 3rd Japanese Division in Nanfeng Mountain. Although they were selfish, they were also people who wanted to be looked down on, and this matter was equivalent to slapping them in the face.

Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue both looked ugly. They didn't know what to say, so they continued to remain silent.

Gao Jiu said: "Team Commander Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, do you think the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment is strong, or is your 62nd Division's battle-hardened and tested troops have strong combat effectiveness?"

Of course, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue were not convinced. They thought their troops were more than twice as strong as the supplementary regiment, but they didn't know how to answer Gao Jiu's words.

Gao Jiu continued: "The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is unquestionable, but they are not invincible. As long as they dare to fight against the Japanese army and have proper tactics, they can defeat and destroy them.

Wang Jindong's new 187th Division is a newly formed recruit unit, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as your 62nd Division. At that time, the Daqinghe Bridge and the Hanhuadu Ferry were occupied by the Japanese army, and the 187th Division was in an isolated and helpless situation. However, they dared to fight with the Japanese army. After bloody battles, they wiped out the entire brigade of the Japanese army and established outstanding achievements. Wang Jindong also became a famous anti-Japanese general who was famous in China. I believe you all know this matter."

Wang Jindong's sudden rise really made the generals of the guo army envious and jealous. Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue also discussed this matter, and they all felt that Wang Jindong was lucky. Otherwise, a new unit of a division would probably not be able to even a Japanese corps.

Gao Jiu said: "The strategic position of the 62nd Division is now very important. The environment and conditions in all aspects are better than the newly compiled 187th Division. Why can't you fight a beautiful battle so that you can become famous anti-Japanese generals and be respected by thousands of people?"

Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue are both people who need shame. As anti-Japanese soldiers, who doesn’t want to become a famous anti-Japanese general? They just worried that they could not defeat the Japanese, so they feared the enemy and avoided the war. When Gao Jiu said this, the two began to think about it.

Chu Tianxiong was always paying attention to the expressions of Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue. Seeing that they were already moved, he began to beat the side drum.

He said: "I have also analyzed that the world-renowned battle between Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang and Southwest Shandong was only the leader of the 792nd Regiment. The reason why he was able to become a commander was mainly due to the help of Brother Gao. After becoming a commander, he annihilated the 128th Brigade of the Japanese army in Southwest Shandong, which was also completed with the help of Brother Gao.

Now, Mr. Gao is here to help you fight in person. I think you are all smart people, so you shouldn’t miss it.”

Wu Tianming's eyes kept turning, thinking hard in his heart, repeatedly weighing the pros and cons.

Gao Jiu has such a great reputation, so he will never be a person with low IQ. Today, he came to the 62nd Division and must have come prepared. Now, the 62nd Division has a handle in Gao Jiu's hands. If he does not agree to Gao Jiu's request, if he turns against him, Wu Tianming will probably not be able to take it.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to agree to Gao Jiu and make friends with him. With Gao Jiu's background, he can help with many things.

He is not worried about the risks of fighting against the Japanese army now. He can imagine that a rookie-like supplementary regiment can fight such a beautiful battle under Gao Jiu's command. What should he worry about in his dignified 62nd Division of the Guo Army?

Wu Tianming basically made up his mind and looked at Wang Wenxue to ask for his opinions. Wang Wenxue's idea was similar to Wu Tianming. When he saw Wu Tianming looking over, he nodded slightly.

Wu Tianming said: "Brother Gao, since you have said this, I am also an anti-Japanese soldier, and I have no choice but to defend my country. Tell me, how should I fight this battle? Let's listen to you, brother."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I knew that Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang were both bloody Chinese soldiers. They would definitely fight bravely and fight bravely. In the next battle, brother, I would also ask Stationmaster Chu to fight with Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

Chu Tianxiong was even happier when he heard this. He knew that if this battle was fought, it would be a great contribution. He had Chu Tianxiong's share, and now he could show his face like the Jinan Station of the Military Control Commission. He thought to himself: "No wonder people are willing to deal with Brother Gao. People are righteous and never monopolize the benefits."
