Shoucheng County.

Yoshihiro Hamada, Captain Hirata, Liu Shengyu and others waited outside the city until noon, and came the exact news: Gao Jiu and others had annihilated the Yamamoto garrison, and the public security army and police brigade left in the city. They did not stay in the city. They had already left the county town this morning and returned to Taohua Mountain.

Liu Shengyu was secretly happy to hear such bad news.

Captain Hirata secretly thanked that he was not only safe and sound, but even two people died in his military police team, and he was able to return safely and continue to be his military police captain.

Since dealing with Gao Jiu, the result of every confrontation has been the same, all of which have been a crushing defeat. He has now become immune and does not feel that uncomfortable.

Until now, he is still very confident, but his confidence is not aimed at Gao Jiu, but believes that no one knows Gao Jiu better than him in the Japanese army. Yoshihiro Tahamada cannot deal with Gao Jiu, and it will be even worse if he replaces others.

Hinada Yoshihiro himself believed that the combat plan he formulated was quite clever every time. Unfortunately, whether it was Oboo of the 128th Brigade, Nakajima Fenggo of the 18th Regiment, or Yamamoto's garrison, they were incompetent. They could not beat the other person's Gao Jiu, and the result of the crushing defeat had nothing to do with Hinada Yoshihiro.

Having reached this point, it was useless for Hamada Yoshihiro to stay here. He bid farewell to Liu Shengyu and Captain Pingtian and took his men to return to Jinan City.

After Hamada Yoshihide left, Liu Shengyu and Captain Heita also returned to Shoucheng County.

After entering the city, Liu Shengyu first escorted Captain Hirata back to the military police. Captain Hirata saw that everything in the military police was as usual. Not only was the house facilities not damaged, but even the trucks and motorcycles parked in the yard were intact.

Captain Pingtian understood that this was the situation where Gao Jiu gave him face and hoped that he would continue to maintain the state of water in the future.

Back in his office, Captain Pingtian and Liu Shengyu discussed how to restore public security in the county. Now there is no police brigade in the city, and only less than 100 people are left with Liu Shengyu. The public security army and police brigade must be restored as soon as possible.

At this moment, Li San came back. When he saw Liu Shengyu and Captain Pingtian, Li San seemed to be frightened. He talked about their experience with tears in his eyes.

Li San said that they were besieged by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, and some brothers died, most of them were captured by others. The police brigade was even worse, with many people dead, and even the captain died.

Li San said that he saw Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu asked him to give Captain Hirata a message. Captain Hirata was shocked when he heard this. He asked nervously: "What did Gao Sang say?" Captain Hirata was very afraid of Gao Jiu and was very respectful when he called him behind his back.

Li San said: "Mr. Gao said that the autumn harvest is coming soon. Please ask the captain to prepare 50,000 kilograms of grain for Taohua Mountain. In order to avoid conflict, the people of the military police are not allowed to appear in the area west of Taoyuan Town."

Captain Pingtian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He thought that Gao Jiuti's conditions were not excessive, and 50,000 kilograms of grain was a trivial matter. Most of the west of Taoyuan Town were mountainous areas, and the people of the military police basically did not go there.

Captain Hirata immediately said, "That's it. If you send someone to reply, you will say I'm grateful for Gao Sang's care."

Li San said: "Okay, I'll send someone to reply to Mr. Gao."

Liu Shengyu asked, "How are the brothers in our Public Security Army doing now?"

Li San said: "The people from the Taohua Mountain guerrillas left all the weapons and released them. Even the people from the police brigade, except for the officials who were detained by them, were also released."

Hearing this, Liu Shengyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's such a blessing. It's good that brothers can come back."

Captain Hirata was also very happy and said, "Liu Sang, your people are back. Hurry up and restore your security army brigade. If the police brigade has no police officers, I will give it to you to serve as a steward."

Liu Shengyu said: "Captain, I don't know much about the police brigade affairs and need specialized people to manage them. I have a reluctant request, don't you know if you should talk or not?"

Captain Hirata has always trusted Liu Shengyu very much. This time, Liu Shengyu saved his life again, and he is very grateful for this. He said, "Liu Sang, your friend is a big deal. Just say anything."

Liu Shengyu said: "It is best for the police brigade to use our own people. Li San has been following me for many years. I have always wanted to praise him. Do you think he is the captain of the police brigade?"

Captain Pingtian, who was a businessman, was careless in his work and devoted his main thoughts to how to make money. The management of the county town usually relies on Liu Shengyu, so he was relieved that the person who handed the police brigade to Liu Shengyu.

He immediately made a decision and said, "That's it. I will appoint Li San as the captain of the police brigade now."

Li San was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you, Captain, for your cultivation, and for your recommendation."

Shortly after Liu Shengyu and Li San returned to the Public Security Army Brigade headquarters, Li San led a group of trusted backbones to take over the police brigade.

In this way, the main armed forces in Shoucheng County were controlled by Liu Shengyu, and in fact they were controlled by Gao Jiu.

Taohua Mountain.

Gao Jiu and others returned to the 67th Peach Blossom Mountain. They met Guan Lie and the two supplementary regiments of the 187th Division who had arrived in Taohua Mountain. The chief of staff and others immediately held a combat meeting to study and deploy the encirclement and annihilation of the surrounded 18th Japanese Regiment.

While the meeting was underway, Chen John, the head of the East District of the Underground Party, rushed over. Chen John's identity was an underground party, and he was not convenient for him to appear in public, so he made an appointment with Gao Jiu alone. He brought instructions from senior officials of the underground party, hoping that Gao Jiu could complete an extremely important task - forcing the Japanese 18th Regiment to surrender.

As we all know, after a long period of imperial power and brainwashing, the Japanese army was very stubborn, especially in the early stages of the war, and was very tenacious on the battlefield. Not to mention letting them surrender, it would be very difficult to catch a wounded soldier of the Japanese.

Of course, if the Japanese can be forced to surrender, especially the established Japanese surrender, it will greatly damage the morale of the Japanese army. This will set an extremely bad precedent for the Japanese army and set an extremely bad example, which has immeasurable significance for the collapse of the enemy army.

Chen John said: "Mr. Gao, our party believes that it is important to eliminate a Japanese army, but it is far from enough. It is even more important to make a Japanese army surrender.

I know this task is difficult to complete, and other forces do not meet this condition at present. Now you are surrounded by a Japanese army, which is a good opportunity. I hope you can try it.

To ensure that you can complete this task, our superiors made it clear that we mobilize all Shandong armed forces to restrain the Japanese army and create conditions for you to complete this task."

To be honest, this task is really too difficult to complete. It is not difficult to eliminate these Japanese devils on the mountain. It is difficult to force them to surrender. They must be exhausted from ammunition and food, and feel completely desperate in spirit, so that they can do it.

Gao Jiu believes that such conditions are not met at present, mainly because the Japanese army is at its peak and they are very strong in spirit.

On the one hand, they have undergone long-term brainwashing. On the other hand, the domestic environment in Japan does not allow them to do so. In this era, if the Japanese army is captured on the battlefield, their families will be shamed, looked down upon by the people around them, and will be persecuted by the government. If they surrender, it is conceivable how persecution their families will be.

Therefore, even if the Japanese army was surrounded, even if they had no ammunition and food, they would rather launch a suicide breakout than choose to surrender.

Gao Jiu thought it seriously and thought it was difficult to do. He said, "What you said makes sense, but I can't do this."

Chen John knew Gao Jiu was in a dilemma, but he still had to execute the instructions from his superiors. He said: "Mr. Gao, I believe in your ability. In the past, you have completed many tasks that others could not complete. I believe you can complete this task too."

Gao Jiu is a man with a strong will. He has made up his mind and will not change easily. He once again rejected John Chen.

John Chen did not give up. He knew that Jiang Xiaomei was easy to talk to Gao Jiu, so he handed over the task of persuading Gao Jiu to Jiang Xiaomei.

Jiang Xiaomei is a party member and she must resolutely implement the instructions from her superiors. Therefore, she brought up this matter at the combat meeting.

After this matter was brought up, Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi, Wang Guimin, Guan Lie, and the leaders of the two supplementary regiments expressed their opposition. Only Huang Shuigen, who supported Jiang Xiaomei's opinions, supported Huang Shuigen of the independent camp.

Zhao Guosheng, the liaison officer of the Fifth War Zone who attended the meeting, did not express his opinion.

Wang Zhankui said: "I don't agree, this matter is impossible at all. First of all, these Japanese will not surrender. Even if they surrender, I am unwilling to accept it. What do you want these bastards to do? Kill one is one.

Secondly, it will take a long time to persuade them to surrender, and our 187th Division troops cannot stay here for a long time.

Also, so many troops stay here, the huge amount of materials consumed, which was completely unworthy of the loss."

Guo Hengming also believed that this matter was unsuccessful. Once he agreed, it would be like a tight curse. If this task was not completed, it would have a great impact on Gao Jiu's reputation. He immediately expressed his opposition.

Everyone expressed the same opinions one after another.

After everyone discussed for a while, Gao Jiu made up his mind and completely denied Jiang Xiaomei's proposal, and then continued to discuss the combat plan of encircling and annihilation of the 18th Japanese Regiment.

Everyone did not notice that Zhao Guosheng quietly walked out.

Just as the meeting was about to end, Zhao Guosheng came back. He had just heard about this and sent a telegram to Wuhan. He took out a telegram and said, "Jiu Ye, dear officials! The theater command transferred the order from the Military Commission, hoping to force the 18th Japanese Regiment to surrender. If the entire regiment cannot surrender, a Japanese army of a brigade or a squadron can surrender.

The War Zone Command also stated that if Jiuye has any needs, the War Zone Command will provide as much help as possible.”

It is of great significance to be able to force a Japanese army to surrender, so the Military Commission also put forward the same requirement.

Faced with the orders of the Military Commission, Wang Zhankui and others were affiliated with the Guo army, and they couldn't say anything anymore. Everyone looked at Gao Jiu and waited for him to make the final decision.

The two largest political forces in China have put forward such demands on Gao Jiu, so Gao Jiu must pay attention to it. This matter is really too difficult, and Gao Jiu needs to think about it seriously. So he said: "I haven't thought about this for a while. Don't report to your superiors for the time being. Before 8 o'clock in the evening, I will give you a clear answer."

Gao Jiu walked to a big stone and sat down. Guo Hengming, Du Shengxi, Wang Guimin and others discussed it for a while, feeling that this matter could not be done no matter what, so they followed him. They were about to talk to Gao Jiu about their opinions, but when they saw Jiang Xiaomei coming, the three of them made excuses to leave.

Jiang Xiaomei sat next to Gao Jiu and said apologetically: "Brother Jiu, I'm really sorry, I'm embarrassed by my words."

Gao Jiu couldn't figure it out at one time, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He understood Jiang Xiaomei's difficulties and said with a smile: "Girl! I have nothing to make things difficult for me, as long as you don't make things difficult for me."

In fact, the real embarrassment was Jiang Xiaomei. The thing she was most reluctant to do was to make Gao Jiu difficult, but she had to implement the instructions from her superiors. When she saw that Gao Jiu was difficult to make a decision now, she obviously felt very embarrassed. She felt very sad and a little aggrieved.

Seeing Gao Jiu so considerate, Jiang Xiaomei felt a warm feeling and tears couldn't help but shed.

She herself is a very free and strong woman, but in front of Gao Jiu, she felt that she was very weak and needed Gao Jiu's care, and Gao Jiu never disappointed her.

Since Gao Jiu went to Wuhan, he has been separated from Jiang Xiaomei for a long time. After this meeting, he was busy fighting again and had not had time to be alone. The two of them can have a good chat now.

Gao Jiu talked about his affairs in Wuhan, and Jiang Xiaomei also talked about the situation of the independent camp during this period. Then, Gao Jiu asked, "Girl! How long has it been since you met your parents?"

Jiang Xiaomei shook her head and said, "It's almost a year in a blink of an eye, and I don't know how they are now."

Jiang Xiaomei's parents and brother originally opened a martial arts hall in Jinan. After the Japanese entered the city, they went to Dezhou. Jiang Xiaomei once sent someone to inquire about the news, but later she heard that they went to Shanhaiguan. There is no accurate news from them yet. Jiang Xiaomei is very concerned about them.

Gao Jiu said, "Girl! Don't worry too much. Since they left on their own initiative, there should be no problem. After the battle is over, I will send someone to find them. Once they find them, I will take them to Taohua Mountain or send them to the rear."

After hearing Gao Jiu say this, Jiang Xiaomei felt much better and her mind returned to Gao Jiu. She really didn't want Gao Jiu to be embarrassed, so she said: "Brother Jiu, you really don't make things too difficult for me. If you make up your mind and need me to explain to the underground party, I will do it."
