Chapter four hundred and sixtieth thriving
Although the 114th Division was trying to find Gao Jiu to take revenge, and the concentration of so many troops this time was a bit ambitious, but when they heard that they were asked to go to southwest Shandong alone, they suddenly lost the courage.
To sweep southwestern Shandong, according to the original combat plan, there were so many troops from the 8th Division, the 3rd Division of the Public Security Army, and the 4th Division. In addition to their 114th Division, Gao Jiu did not have that much power to fight against it.
But now, only one division of their 114th Division went to southwest Shandong. Thinking about Gao Jiu's elusive method, his heart was immediately lost.
Shigeji Matsu and the Chief of Staff exchanged glances. Their eyes were very clear about the meaning of each other, that was, they could not go.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly felt resentful to Gao Jiu, because Gao Jiu attacked the 8th Division and the 3rd Division and 4th Division of the Public Security Army, giving them a reason not to send troops. They were a little confused about why Gao Jiu did not come to attack their 114th Division, even if a small attack was launched, the 114th Division could find a reason not to send troops.
Just when the division commander Shimatsu and Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda was scratching his head and trying desperately to find a reason to not send troops, the combat staff officer of the 12th Army Command hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you have just received a report from the 114th Division. The Watanabe Battalion, stationed in Madian Village, Hunwai, was hit hard by a fierce shelling and suffered heavy casualties. The Watanabe Battalion organized a counterattack, but all the enemy troops were cavalry, and they quickly evacuated after the shelling. This time, 86 people were killed and injured in the Watanabe Battalion. Now they are strengthening their offensive to prevent the enemy from coming to sneak attack again."
All the attackers were cavalry and carried a lot of artillery. Needless to ask, it was definitely done by Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
Upon hearing this news, the division commander and chief of staff of the 114th Division were not angry, but instead felt that Gao Jiu was a little cute, which provided them with a good excuse to not send troops.
So, the division commander Shimatsu nodded to Chief of Staff Saburo Isoda. Saburo Isoda immediately said to General Haneda: "Chief of Staff, our unit has been attacked by the Gaojiu bandit gang, and the losses are serious. In order to avoid attacks from other troops of our division, we must go back and deploy immediately. Please approve us to withdraw from the meeting."
Chief Haneda was about to get angry, but for a moment he didn't know what to do. Faced with the request of the 114th Division and the Chief of Staff, he had to agree. Otherwise, if the 114th Division suffered more serious losses, he, the chief of staff, would also be responsible.
He saw that the combat conference would have no practical significance, so he simply announced the end of the conference.
The attacks on the 114th Division of the Japanese army were Gao Jiu and others. They returned from Yongcheng in northern Shandong to Jinan, met with special forces left in Jinan, Zhou Mingshan and others from the Military Control Commission, and then attacked the 45th Regiment of the Japanese army.
In the afternoon of that day, they attacked the 43rd Regiment of the 114th Division again. This time they still used artillery and directly hit the shells into the wing headquarters of the 43rd Regiment.
The 43rd Regiment had already received orders from the division headquarters, and they organized a rapid counterattack force, riding horses or riding motorcycles. When they were attacked, they immediately attacked to attack those sneak attackers.
What they didn't expect was that Gao Jiu and others did not run away this time, but set up an ambush to attack their Japanese fast mobile troops, and all of them were annihilated.
According to this situation, in order to avoid greater losses, the 114th Division ordered all troops to strengthen their defenses and did not attack without orders.
Gao Jiu and others were still not idle, so they attacked the field artillery corps of the 114th Division.
At this moment, the troops of the 114th Division near Jinan City were extremely nervous. According to the characteristics of Gao Jiu and others firing one shot and changing another place, the troops that did not encounter any attack were so nervous that they dared not sleep and were ready to deal with the attacks of Gao Jiu and others at any time.
The Japanese army of the 114th Division, especially the 45th Regiment, never expected that Gao Jiu did not play according to the routine and did not play other Japanese troops, but attacked the 45th Regiment again.
This time, the opponent used the Type 92 infantry cannon, and hit the yard of the corps headquarters with one shot, directly killing the corps of the 45th Regiment.
The captain of the 45th Regiment was almost crying. He didn't understand why Gao Jiu didn't hit others, but instead came to hit his 45th Regiment?
Gao Jiu's offensive is far more than that.
Ning Wen and Ning Wu led several special forces members to enter Jinan City with the help of Li Xikun, the captain of the Jinan Station Operation Team of the Military Control Commission. At night that day, they bombed the division headquarters of the 114th Division with mortars. At the same time, four mortar shells fell into the courtyard of the 12th Army Command. Although only one Japanese army was injured, this was an unprecedented encounter for the 12th Army Command.
The top leaders of the 12th Army were originally far away from the front line during the battle, and were fighting desperately in front of them. Their troops were killed and injured. They were only responsible for pointing fingers, but there was no danger.
Now, they suddenly discovered that the attackers were so close to them that even the senior personnel were in danger of their lives. The 12th Army Command was panic.
The commander of the 12th Army and General Haneda urgently discussed how to deal with the situation in front of them. Only then did they realize that the huge Japanese 12th Army was like a bullfighting. Although they were strong and brave, they could not do anything to a mosquito biting them.
After the two discussed, Chief of Staff Haneda decided to go and find General Matsuda, and they once again placed their hope on Yoshihiro Hamada.
Just as Gao Jiu launched a fierce attack in Jinan City, the offensive of the Eighth Route Army's Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district became even more fierce.
They took advantage of Gao Jiu to restrain the main force of the Japanese army and swept the entire southwestern Shandong region like a whirlwind. In addition to Pingle County and Shoucheng County, the four counties that originally agreed with Gao Jiu to not harass, the Southwestern Shandong Military Sub-district successively captured six county towns and completely destroyed the Japanese and puppet grassroots group organizations in eight counties.
Chongqing.
The Xinhua Daily published a report that the Eighth Route Army's Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district launched a fierce offensive in the southwest Shandong region, which caused a huge sensation.
After the National Government evacuated Wuhan, major cities around Wuhan had already fallen into the enemy. The Japanese army mobilized the main force to attack Changsha, and the morale of the military and civilians in the rear was very low.
At the same time, the Japanese army carried out a major raid on the anti-Japanese bases of the underground party in the occupied areas. The underground party bases were seriously damaged and their morale was greatly affected.
Under such circumstances, the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district was the only one who launched a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army, greatly boosting the morale of the anti-Japanese military and civilians across the country.
This time, the female general in red, Jiang Xiaomei made the headlines in major newspapers and magazines again. The reporters made a brilliant story, portraying Jiang Xiaomei into a Sailor Moon who coexisted beauty and wisdom, and gathered sexiness and strength. If it weren't for the legendary relationship between Gao Jiu and her, I wonder how many young talents would have come to court Jiang Xiaomei.
Not to mention, Jiang Xiaomei actually received several courtship letters, which made her laugh and cry. She had already had someone in her heart, so she had to refuse to reply to these courtship letters.
This incident brought pressure to Jiang Xiaomei. She told Yang Jiong and others not to let Gao Jiu know about her courtship letter.
The Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district shone this time, and the underground party organized other military sub-districts to visit and study in Southwest Shandong. Gao Hong and Chen John were also incredible for a while.
Of course, Gao Jiu and the Taohuashan guerrillas have once again attracted people's attention. Everyone knows that the underground party's Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district can achieve such a great victory, which is inseparable from Gao Jiu and his Taohuashan guerrillas.
The Military Commission of the National Government, the Fifth War Zone, the Ninth War Zone, and the Military Command Headquarters all sent congratulatory messages to Gao Jiu.
Of course, Gao Jiu's confidante Ouyang Xue and Lin Yanni also sent him a congratulatory message full of affection.
The development of the anti-Japanese situation in southwestern Shandong attracted the attention of senior Japanese leaders.
At the Japanese base camp in Tokyo, a telegram was sent to the 12th Army Headquarters, which said: "In order to support the Greater East Asian jihad, a safe and stable rear is crucial. The security and security situation in North Korea, Taiwan, Manchuria, Suiyuan, and central China has improved greatly. Only your department's jurisdiction has such a bad incident, especially in the southwestern Shandong region, which has had a very bad impact.
The headquarters ordered your troops to immediately carry out a major storm in southwestern Shandong, completely wipe out the local anti-Japanese armed forces, and provide stable rear support for the progress of Greater East Asian jihad.
The base camp solemnly reminds you that a series of vicious cases that have occurred in Shandong have caused dissatisfaction with His Majesty Tian Huang. If your troops do not take effective measures, the consequences will be very serious."
The call from the Japanese base camp put great pressure on the top leaders of the 12th Army of the Japanese army. After careful research, the commander of the 12th Army believed that the most important thing to completely reverse the situation in southwestern Shandong was to eliminate Gao Jiu himself. He asked Chief Haneda to put more effort into this regard.
Chief Haneda found General Matsuda again, and General Matsuda asked Yoshihiro Hamada to report his fishing plan to Chief Haneda.
Chief Haneda's plan after hearing about Hamada Yoshihiro's plan, and felt that it was very feasible. However, based on past experience, Hamada Yoshihiro's plan looked perfect every time, but the final result was frustrating.
Chief of Staff Haneda asked: "The plan seems feasible, but how can we ensure the smooth implementation of the plan?"
Hamada Yoshihiro put in a lot of effort this time. He no longer worked behind closed doors, but solicited opinions from many people and specially consulted the opinions of several senior agents who came to Jinan to do business.
The senior agents of the Japanese Kanto Army Special High School Class had heard about Gao Jiu very early. The days when they came to Jinan City, they happened to encounter Gao Jiu making trouble in the area of Jinan City. They became very interested in Gao Jiu. They asked the Kanto Army Command to stay in Jinan City to assist the Jinan Gendarmerie Command and complete the arrest of Gao Jiu.
These Japanese spies have rich experience. They improved and revised the plan based on Hamada Yoshihiro's plan and finally formulated an action plan that everyone was satisfied with.
Hamada Yoshiji Hamada heard General Haneda’s question and knew that he did not trust him very much. He learned this time and no longer took the responsibility for the failure of the plan alone. He said: “Your Excellency Chief of Staff, this plan formulated by Huizen is not the opinion of Huizen alone. The senior agents of the Kanto Army Command’s Special High School Division are outside. Please call them to discuss this plan together.”
General Haneda didn't want to completely obey Hamada Yoshihiro's opinion, so he immediately said, "Then please invite them in."
Next, Chief of Staff Haneda, General Matsuda, Yoshiji Hamada, a colonel in the Kanto Army's Special High School Division, and two juniors took more than an hour to carefully ponder the action plan for seizing Takaku.
Chief Haneda personally participated in the formulation of the plan and believed that the plan was very likely to be successful.
He made up his mind and said, "Just follow this plan. Matsuda Jun, you will personally direct this action. You guys work closely together and you must get rid of the demon Gao Jiu."
"Hayi." General Matsuda and others answered solemnly.
