Chapter 410 The price of living people is different
Hamada Yoshiji said: "Wei Yi can take a plane and go to Taohua Mountain overnight to negotiate with Gao Jiu, which can ensure that we can contact Gao Jiu before noon tomorrow."
The reason why Hamada Yoshihiro dared to see Gao Jiu was that he was confident that he would see Gao Jiu because he believed that local snakes like Captain Hirata and Liu Shengyu would have a way to send him to Gao Jiu. Even if they had no choice, now there are anti-Japanese troops everywhere in Taohua Mountain. As long as he appeared there, the anti-Japanese troops would bring him to Gao Jiu.
Why did he dare to meet Gao Jiu alone? It was because he believed that Gao Jiu would not kill him, the messenger, because he was a little bitch.
Sure enough, the three generals expressed their appreciation for Hamada Yoshihiro's attitude. Next, they discussed the content of the negotiation.
On the way back to the military police headquarters, General Matsuda asked with concern: "You have never learned to jump, how can you airborne down?"
Hamada Yoshiji said: "This is not difficult. I can sit in a large wooden box with a thick quilt on it, so that the Air Force can put me down as materials."
General Matsuda admired Hamada Yoshihiro's serious attitude and flexibility in doing things, and said, "It's great, you do it boldly and don't have any concerns. If you can't do it, you must come back safely."
Yoshi Hamada felt very grateful that he had a direct boss like General Matsuda. He said that he would do his best to complete the task as much as possible.
Hamada Yoshihiro returns to the military police headquarters
Afterwards, he immediately called Captain Pingtian of Shoucheng County Military Police and asked them to find out how to contact Gao Jiu. He drove to the airport outside Jinan City by himself.
Hamada Yoshiji arrived at the airport. The airport had barely restored the command system, but when the pilots of the Transportation Plane Brigade heard that they were going to Taohua Mountain to perform the mission, they all started to pretend to be sick, pushing the three obstacles and no one wanted to go.
The Japanese army had strict military disciplines and would immediately implement the orders when they issued them. However, when facing Taohua Mountain, it turned out to be like this. Seeing that the morale of the Air Force dropped to such a level, Hamada Yoshitsuki was deeply worried about this.
He persuaded him and took out the only two gold bars left that he had plundered from Shoucheng County last time and gave them to the captain of the transport aircraft brigade. The transport aircraft brigade went down to do ideological work. The pilots agreed to take Hamada Yoshi to Shoucheng County, but refused to go to the vicinity of Taohua Mountain, so they were willing to airborne him to Shoucheng County.
Shoucheng County.
Captain Hirata received a call from Hamada Yoshihiro, and he was unwilling to participate in the matter, so he notified Liu Shengyu about the matter and asked Liu Shengyu to deal with it.
Liu Shengyu immediately sent someone to notify Sun Yong'an and asked him to notify Gao Jiu of the situation. Then, he took the security army out of the city and went to the suburbs to welcome Hamada Yoshiji who had fallen from the sky.
Liu Shengyu was not worried that Hamada Yoshihiro would doubt how he contacted Taohua Mountain, because this matter was very simple. He could entrust an ordinary citizen or businessman to go to Taohua Mountain to inform him of the matter, just like Ning Wen asked a beggar to deliver a letter to the third air force.
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people can usually live for seven days without eating if they have water to drink, without eating.
These Japanese officers and soldiers have been repeatedly struggling these days and their physical strength has been severely consumed. They have not been able to hold on to the seventh day, and there is not much time left for Gao Jiu to solve the problem. If the Japanese negotiators can come as soon as possible, it will of course be a good thing.
After receiving the telegram, Gao Jiu was very happy that the Japanese army had already started to act at their own pace, so the matter was even better.
He sent a telegram to Li Chengwu, asking him to send cavalry to Shoucheng County to welcome the Japanese negotiators.
Liu Shengyu and others set up a fire outside the city to indicate the target for the Japanese planes coming to the airdrop.
Hamada Yoshiji was airdropped in a large wooden box. Although he had two layers of quilts laid in the wooden box, the vibration caused when the wooden box hit the ground still made him faint.
Liu Shengyu welcomed Hamada Yoshihiro and personally escorted him to Taoyuan Town. On the way, they met the horse team of Li Chengwu and others.
Hamada Yoshihiro was wearing a long gown and jacket, dressed in a Chinese businessman, and was blindfolded and sent to Taohua Mountain.
In the early morning, a southeast wind blew from the top of Mount No. 43. Fenggo Nakajima was aroused by the smell of boiled meat. He was no longer sleepy and sent someone to call a few captains to tell them the news that the 12th Army Command had sent people to negotiate with Taohua Mountain, and asked them to wait for the news in the tent, so that they could discuss what was going on in time.
After several team leaders came, they all reported the bad situation of their brigade:
Just tonight, more than twenty soldiers starved to death and more than a dozen soldiers committed suicide.
The wing attached a suggestion to inform all officers and soldiers of the arrival of the Japanese negotiator, so that everyone could persevere with hope. Nakajima Toyoko agreed with his suggestion.
When Gao Jiu saw Yoshihiro Hamada, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, and he immediately met Yoshihiro Hamada.
After Hamada Yoshitsuki was taken up the mountain, he had been looking forward to seeing Gao Jiu. He hoped to see Gao Jiu's true face. Unfortunately, Gao Jiu was here, and even the long-famous female general Jiang Xiaomei in red came, but his eyes were always blindfolded, which made him feel very regretful.
Gao Jiu has been famous for Hamada Yoshihiro for a long time. Seeing this major opponent, Gao Jiu also looked at him with interest. In order to see the true face of Hamada Yoshihiro and to give him a warning, he did not talk to him immediately, but asked someone to take him aside to take photos.
Hamada Yoshihiro was very angry about this, but he had no choice but to be at the mercy of the special forces.
Gao Jiu's move really put a lot of pressure on Hamada Yoshihiro. He knew that his true face was exposed to the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the danger of being assassinated in the future was greatly enhanced, but he himself still could not see Gao Jiu's true face. This asymmetry made Hamada Yoshihiro frightened.
After taking the photo, Hamada Yoshihiro was blindfolded again and brought to Gao Jiu.
Gao Jiu was very polite to him and said in Japanese: "Hamada, we are old friends, welcome to Taohua Mountain."
Hamada Yoshiji was amused and crying. He was a defeated general under Gao Jiu. The so-called old friend was undoubtedly a huge irony to him. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to remain silent there and wait for Gao Jiu's further questioning.
Gao Jiu said: "Hamada, you are a very talented person. The combat plans you have formulated should be said to be quite perfect. You should be called an outstanding person among the Japanese army.
Hamada, my words are sincere and do not mean to sarcasticly. The reason you failed is because you are the invaders, the right time, place, people, and especially people and you are at a disadvantage."
Hamada Yoshihiko always thought so. Gao Jiu said it very pertinently, which made him feel like a confidant. He said sincerely: "Mr. Gao, I have to admit that you are superior in skills and are an extremely rare and powerful opponent. I am convinced by defeating you."
Gao Jiu said: "Hamada, the reason why I maintain respect for you is not only because of your talent, but also because although you have organized many large-scale military operations, there are few incidents of massacre of innocent people in these operations, which is still something that I appreciate."
Hamada Yoshihiro personally saw how Ayumi Hamasaki died, and he knew more clearly why they were constantly hunted down by Gao Jiu. Therefore, when planning a military operation, he specially reminded the Japanese generals who participated in the military operation not to massacre innocent people. Therefore, although it is difficult to avoid casualties of innocent people in combat operations, there was no large-scale massacre of the people.
So far, Hamada Yoshiji felt that the atmosphere of the conversation was still very harmonious. He said: "Mr. Gao, I am a standard soldier and will fight you in the way of a soldier against a soldier."
Although Hamada Yoshihiro believed that Gao Jiu would not detain or kill him, he was still a little worried about his own territory. The meaning of his words was also a provocation. He hoped that Gao Jiu could respect the honor of the soldiers and save his life.
Sure enough, he heard what he wanted to hear the most, Gao Jiu said: "Hamada, you can rest assured that no matter what the outcome of the next negotiations are, I guarantee you can open here safely."
Yoshiji Hamada said, "Thank you Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao, it has been almost five days since the 18th United team was surrounded here. What are you going to do next?"
The result he hoped most was that Gao Jiu said that he would eliminate all the surrounded Japanese troops on the mountain, because Gao Jiu did this before, so he would not take prisoners and not leave any survivors.
Unfortunately, what Gao Jiu said was the one that worried him the most. Gao Jiu said: "The Japanese troops on the mountain are almost unable to hold on. If they are willing to surrender, I will let them live."
Yoshiji Hamada immediately said, "Mr. Gao, you are an insult to the Great Japanese Yellow Army. When did you see that the Great Japanese Yellow Army's army was willing to surrender?"
Speaking of this, he hoped to dispel Gao Jiu's idea, so he deliberately spoke to stimulate Gao Jiu. He said, "Mr. Gao, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. The Great Japanese Huang Army is an army with a sense of honor. They will definitely fight to the point of one soldier and one soldier, and would rather die than surrender."
When the people around Gao Jiu heard this, they were very angry at Hamada Yoshihiro's arrogance and couldn't help but scold him one after another.
Jiang Xiaomei said: "You damn Japanese robbers, you have invaded China for no reason, murdered and set fire, raped and robbed, and committed all kinds of evil. They are just a group of robbers and scoundrels, and they have the face to say something about honor. They are really shameless."
Hamada Yoshihiro had long anticipated what his words would be. Although he was still a little scared, he still stood up as straight as possible and showed that he had a soldier spirit.
Gao Jiu stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and he said, "Hamada, since that's the case, why are you here? What are you worried about?"
Gao Jiu's words hit the key point of Hamada Yoshihiro. It is obvious that if things really happened like what Hamada Yoshihiro said, why would he come to negotiate?
Hamada Yoshihiro had already thought of this, and he said: "These Huang army soldiers of the 18th Regiment are surrounded by you here. They have run out of ammunition and food. This is an unfair battle. I hope both sides can have a fair duel, otherwise it will affect your reputation."
Jiang Xiaomei scolded again: "You are so shameless. In any war you fought, didn't you rely on the large number of people and sharp artillery fire? Now you come here to talk about a fair duel? It's so shameless!"
Hamada Yoshiji didn't dare to retaliate, and he silently said in his heart: "A good man won't fight with a woman." He stood there without saying a word.
Gao Jiu still maintained a kind attitude, and he asked, "Hamada, since you are here, you must achieve a certain goal. Tell me, what do you want to do when you come here?"
Hamada Yoshiji felt very passive. He couldn't figure out Gao Jiu's trump card, and he had to say what he wanted. He said: "You surrounded the big Japanese Huang army on the mountain. They have been out of ammunition and food for many days. I hope you can allow us to provide them with supplies and then have a fair duel between the two sides.
Of course, you can also put forward your own conditions and negotiate with both parties."
Gao Jiu said: "If I agree to your request, what are your conditions?"
When Hamada Yoshihiro heard that Gao Jiu was willing to negotiate terms, he was secretly happy and thought that his judgment was correct. Although this guy was powerful, he was greedy for money and lust, so he was easy to deal with if he was willing to offer conditions.
He said: "We can provide you with some of the funds."
Gao Jiu asked, "How much are you willing to pay?"
Hamada Yoshiji said: "100,000 oceans."
Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "Hamada, you have no sincerity. I believe you also know that I sold 100,000 oceans for those corpses of Yamamoto's garrison. I starved all the people on the mountain to death, and I could still sell 100,000 oceans. If you put forward such conditions, wouldn't you bully people?"
Hamada Yoshiji said: "Mr. Gao, money can be negotiated, and transactions require bargaining. You can offer a price."
Gao Jiu said: "Most of the noble soldiers on the mountain are still alive, and there should be no less than two thousand people. I plan to put them back. Of course, the prices of dead people are different from those of living people. I don't want them much, so I'll give them 1 million ocean."
Before Hamada Yoshihide arrived, he had already thought about his main goal, which was to rescue the remaining officers and soldiers. Of course, he could not take the initiative to mention this matter. He wanted to focus Gao Jiu's attention on the price negotiation, so he said: "Mr. Gao, 1 million ocean is too much. With so much money, you can re-equip the three 18th Regiment."
Gao Jiu sighed, shook his head and said, "Handa, you really disappoint me. It turns out that the lives of your Japanese soldiers are so worthless? Think about it, if I tell the officers and soldiers of the 18th Regiment you said, what would they think?"
Hamada Yoshiji was startled. He really didn't expect that Gao Jiu was so powerful. He would catch the handle if he was a little careless. If this was heard by the officers and soldiers of the 18th Regiment, they would be able to eat him alive.
Hamada Yoshiji was very scared, but he was a very experienced person after all. He didn't take this remark and said directly: "Mr. Gao, let's talk about business, why do we go so far?"
Gao Jiu said: "I like honest people. You'd better tell me all the purposes of your coming here. Let's talk about money based on this."
Hamada Yoshiji said: "I have a suggestion. You can make a way out and let the besieged Huang soldiers leave here safely. I can make the decision and pay you 250,000 oceans."
Gao Jiu said: "It is not impossible to let them leave here, but they must surrender all of them. As long as they are willing to put down their weapons and surrender, I can guarantee their lives and let you take them back immediately."
Hamada Yoshihiro immediately said: "This is impossible. It is impossible for the Japanese Yellow Army to surrender. He would rather die in battle than do such a thing."
The meaning of Hamada Yoshihiko's words was to stimulate Gao Jiu and let Gao Jiu attack the 18th Japanese Regiment and eliminate them all, Hamada Yoshihiko was considered to have completed the mission.
Unfortunately, Gao Jiu said: "Hamada, you have no sincerity in speaking like this. If you don't believe it, I can let you see with your own eyes how you so-called Huang army warriors put down their weapons and surrendered?!"
Hamada Yoshiji said firmly: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "There is an old Chinese saying that you don't cry until you see the coffin. Since you are unwilling to give up now, when you see it, the conditions I offer will not be the same."
Yoshiji Hamada was very nervous. Although he believed in the strong willpower of the Japanese officers and soldiers, he was also worried that they would do something irrational when they were hungry. He could not give in yet, so he decided to take a gamble and observe the development of the situation before talking about it.
He said, "Mr. Gao, I cannot agree with what you said, that is impossible!"
Gao Jiu said kindly: "Since that's the case, Hamada-kun, you can go down and rest first, and I will prove it to you soon."
Several members of Taohua Mountain came over to take Hamada Yoshihiro down.
