Just as they were about to arrive at the coalition's blocking position, the Kuomintang's fighter planes appeared in this airspace in time, and the Japanese bomber group had to return to Hanoi Airport.

This was of course also accorded in advance by Gao Jiu and the 8th Air Force of the Japanese Army. In short, Gao Jiu gave the 8th Air Force a reasonable excuse to give them sufficient reasons not to reinforce the Japanese 5th Division.

After a day and night of fighting, reinforcements from the 5th Division of the Japanese Army were firmly blocked in the area east of Chiang Mai Ridge. The 21st Japanese Army Brigade, besieged in Chiang Mai City, was in an increasingly difficult situation.

The coalition forces had a large number of troops, and they continued to launch attacks on the Japanese army in a rotating manner. The 21st Japanese brigade was exhausted and consumed a lot of ammunition.

At 10 a.m. the next day, there were only 3,000 people left in the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army, and the ammunition was basically exhausted. Moreover, these officers and soldiers had no chance to sleep, and they were exhausted and their morale was very low.

Gao Jiu received a report from Guo Hengming that they were absolutely sure to stop the Japanese reinforcements. So Gao Jiu informed the coalition forces of the news.

At this time, there were more than 60,000 coalition troops gathered outside Chiang Mai City, with well-equipped and sufficient supplies. When they learned that there were only 3,000 Japanese troops left in the city and the Japanese reinforcements could not arrive, everyone's morale increased and they accelerated the frequency of attacks. At 1 noon, the Taohuashan Special Forces took the lead in breaking the north gate of Chiang Mai City. The Vietnamese army rushed into the city with the Taohuashan Special Forces, and the Thai army followed.

When the British troops saw others breaking through the north gate of Chiang Mai City, they were not willing to be outdone and launched a fierce attack, and soon afterwards broke through the south gate of Chiang Mai City.

The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army was extremely tenacious and launched street fighting with the coalition forces based on the buildings in the city.

During the street fighting, the coalition troops were crowded and powerful. They climbed up to the roof to suppress the Japanese firepower. The large number of rocket launchers brought by the Taohuashan guerrillas played a huge role in the street fighting. They continued to destroy the Japanese firepower points, and the Japanese army suffered heavy casualties and continued to shrink to the location of the brigade headquarters in the center of the city.

By 4:30 pm, the remnants of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army were less than 1,000 people. They were compressed into a narrow area with a length of less than 200 meters.

Gao Jiu ordered the coalition forces to suspend the attack and persuade the remnants of the Japanese 21st Brigade to surrender.

After this series of failures, the commander of the brigade of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army had already been completely defeated. The brigade of the 21st Brigade was different from the ordinary Japanese brigade. It was all strengthened. The total force reached more than 11,000 people, and now there are only less than 1,000 people left. The enemy troops surrounded outside were well-equipped, with 60,000 or 70,000 people. It was obvious that the entire army was destroyed. He really had no confidence to continue fighting, so he had the idea of ​​surrendering.

However, the highest-level commander of the Japanese army who surrendered to Gao Jiu was the Colonel's corps commander. He was a major general in the army. If he surrendered to the enemy, it would be a great blow to the morale of the entire Japanese army. He knew that neither the Japanese military nor the people in Japan would let him go and his family.

He looked around and saw that the other Japanese officers and soldiers in the command center were all numb and obviously no longer had the fighting spirit. Someone occasionally raised his head, and his eyes showed a desire to survive, hoping that he, the brigade commander, could give orders to surrender.

The brigade leader of the 21st Brigade was considered over and over again and finally made up his mind. He decided to let his officers and soldiers surrender, and he chose to commit suicide by cesarean section to protect the safety of his officers and soldiers and his family.

He took out a family photo, and there were five people in the photo. He and his wife were sitting in the front row, and three teenagers stood behind. They were the two sons and a daughter of the brigade commander. He looked at the photo in despair, knowing that he would take a look and lose one, and he would never see it again. A turbid tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.

At this moment, the 21st Regiment Commander Kiyo Itagaki led a captain and the wing deputy of the 21st Regiment to the command center. They said: "Brig Commander, the enemy is persuading surrender. What are you going to do?"

The brigade commander shook his head, sighed, and said, "It's meaningless to continue the battle. In order to save the lives of the remaining officers and soldiers, I plan to surrender to Gao Jiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kiyoshi Itagaki and the two Japanese officers following him take out the turtle box. Kiyoshi Itagaki roared: "You coward! You have completely lost the face of the Japanese Yellow Army. I have received an order from my superiors to kill any cowards and cowards who dare to rebel and surrender to the enemy in order to safeguard the honor of the Japanese Yellow Army." After that, he fired directly.

The brigade commander opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked at several blood holes in his chest. He had a kind intention, but he didn't expect that such a result would come to an end. He looked at the sky unwillingly for the last time, reached out and grabbed his family photo, and threw him to the ground.

The reason why Kiyoo Itagaki came to kill the brigade commander was because he had received the order to die. Under no circumstances, he had to fight one soldier and one soldier, and he was not allowed to surrender to Gao Jiu.

This mission was conveyed by his uncle, Japanese Army Minister Shiro Itagaki. An infantry brigade in the 21st Regiment had already surrendered to Takaku. As the captain of the 21st Regiment, Kiyoshi Itagaki's uncle had been attacked by political enemies.

If his nephew surrendered to the enemy, he, the Minister of the Army, had to resign. He made up his mind to sacrifice his nephew. He believed in his nephew's courage to kill himself, but if the brigade commander of the 21st Brigade took the lead in surrendering, he would also threaten his nephew to surrender together.

It was him who issued a secret order to his nephew Kyoto Itagaki. If the brigade commander of the 21st Brigade had the intention to surrender, he would be killed immediately.

Kiyo Itagaki is a fanatical ***. In order to protect the honor of himself and his uncle, he was determined to fight Gao Jiu to the end, so he had this scene in front of him.

After killing the brigade commander, Kiyoo Itagaki summoned the remaining Japanese officers and announced that he had replaced the command of the 21st Brigade. In order to boost morale, he said a few slogans of loyalty to Tenhuang and the Great Japanese Huang Army. Then he said that his uncle, Army Minister Shiro Itagaki, had already said that the remnants of the 21st Brigade could not surrender, and if they surrender, their families would be severely punished. If they could fight to the end and maintain the honors of the 5th Division and the Great Japanese Huang Army, his uncle would come forward and give generous pensions to the families of all the officers and soldiers who died in battle.

The officers understood that they were forcing them to die. Looking at Kiyoshi Itagaki who stared at the blood-red eyes, no one dared to say anything. Several deadly members following Kiyoshi Itagaki shouted, shouting the slogan of bloody battles for His Majesty Tianhuang to safeguard the honor of the Japanese Huang army. The officers also raised their arms helplessly and shouted with them.

Kiyo Itagaki knew that there were no reinforcements anymore. Instead of waiting for death so slowly, it would be better to fight the enemy to the death. He gathered the troops, mobilized at the top of his lungs, and then ordered the remaining artillery soldiers to shoot out all the shells and rushed towards the enemy outside.

In response to the Japanese suicide-style actions, the coalition forces besieged them had to help them. They used fierce artillery fire and machine guns to attack the rushing enemy forces until they could no longer see a standing Japanese officer or soldier.

Kiyo Itagaki and his decisive members died on the way to charge, leaving his uncle with the last look.

The army officers and soldiers were also smart. When Kiyoo Itagaki led a large group of troops to charge out, they followed behind, gradually slowed down, and then simply ran back. They heard the gunshots outside and stopped and knew that Kiyoo Itagaki and others were finished, so they chose to surrender and survived by chance.

The 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army was well-known. They once captured many historical cities such as Tianjin, Taiyuan, and Guangzhou. On the battlefield in Southeast Asia, they also captured Saigon and were the best among the Japanese ace troops as an enemy country like Yangon. Unexpectedly, they were all annihilated by Gao Jiu and led a group of mobs, causing a huge shock to the Japanese army.

The demise of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army has greatly boosted the morale of the anti-Japanese armed forces all over the world. Britain, the Mid and other countries have made extensive reports on this, especially the British, who advocated the victory of the Chiang Mai Battle. The British Governor to Myanmar and his main British officers have now become household names in Britain.

The big men in Chongqing were also impressed by the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army. The brigade commander of the 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School like him. He said with emotion: "The 21st Brigade of the Japanese Army is so powerful that he can't beat Gao Jiu, who was a bandit."

When the lady heard this, she felt a little unhappy. She said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you saying that Gao Jiu is a bandit? How many Japanese have Gao Jiu wiped out? He safeguarded the dignity of the country. Are there bandits like him?"

The big man didn't really think that Gao Jiu was a bandit. He just said casually. Seeing that his wife was unhappy, he casually said: "I don't mean that. However, Gao Jiu refused to serve the National Government and was essentially a bandit."

The lady became more angry and stared at her eyes and said, "You still said?" She stretched out her slender fingers and pointed at the big man.

The lady has a beautiful appearance, and even when she is angry, she has a unique charm. The big man deliberately said that Gao Jiu was a bandit. Seeing his wife's angry look, he was not angry, but instead looked at her with admiration.

When the lady saw the big man's appearance, a tenderness surged in her heart. She glared at the big man and couldn't help laughing.

After the 21st Japanese Brigade was annihilated, the commander of the 5th Japanese Division was worried that the remaining troops would suffer the same fate as the 21st Brigade, so he immediately ordered the 20th Brigade to escape from contact with the coalition forces, and the entire division was withdrawn.

Now that the Japanese threat was lifted off the Thai-Myanmar border and in Myanmar, Gao Jiu lost interest in continuing to fight. He handed over the command of the coalition forces to the British Governor in Myanmar, and he led the troops belonging to the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Kokang Regional Autonomous Army to return to his garrison.

At this time, in the southern part of the world, the drought has exposed its fangs, and it has not rained for a long time. Under the baking of the scorching sun, wide gaps have been cracked on the ground. The planting of autumn grain in most drought areas cannot be carried out, and the seedlings that have been planted have also become withered under the baking of the scorching sun. A small amount of crops left behind in the areas close to the water source will also face a major locust plague that has not been encountered in a century.

This fall, the food in the entire disaster-stricken areas in Henan will basically be out of stock. What people don’t know is that the drought will last until the first half of next year, and spring plowing will not be carried out next year.

This tragic drought will cause disasters to more than 100 counties, and more than 10 million people will become victims.

Gao Jiu had already reported this to his wife in advance, and his wife was also paying attention to this matter. When she saw that, as Gao Jiu said, a large-scale drought occurred in the southern part of the country, she knew that Gao Jiu's prediction was really going to happen. So the wife reported this matter to the big man.

After hearing about this, the big man was in a heavy mood. When he heard that Gao Jiu had made plans in advance and stored hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain, he felt better. He also attached great importance to this matter, so he instructed the Ministry of Agriculture, the National Disaster Relief Agency, the Henan Provincial Government, and the local garrison to form a disaster relief committee, with his wife as the director of the Disaster Relief Committee and deploy disaster relief matters.

Regarding the drought in Henan, the underground party also received a notice from Gao Jiu in advance, and they made corresponding preparations. In June this year, they mobilized the anti-Japanese military and civilians in the base area to carry out drilling and drought-resistant activities, and distributed food to the people in the disaster area in advance.

The wife sent a telegram to Gao Jiu and asked Gao Jiu to fly to Chongqing to discuss disaster relief matters.

Accompanied by Ouyang Xue, Gao Jiu was about to fly to Chongqing. When they arrived at the airport, Ouyang Xue's face was pale and suddenly started to retching.

Gao Jiu asked with concern: "Ruoxue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let's go to the hospital first."

Ouyang Xue shook her head and looked at Gao Jiu with a angrily look. Her fair cheeks suddenly turned red. She said shyly: "I'm fine, I'm pregnant."

"Ah! Really? I'm going to be a father." Gao Jiu was extremely excited and couldn't help but scream.

Wang Zhankui, Guo Hengming and others who were seeing off at the airport couldn't help but cheer when they saw that the boss finally had descendants.

The sudden good news made Gao Jiu very happy, and he had no intention of going to Chongqing. He sent a telegram to his wife that he would not be able to help much when he went to Chongqing. If the disaster relief committee led by his wife needed food, he could provide 300 million kilograms of food as required by his wife and deliver it to the designated location according to his wife's request.

The wife asked Gao Jiu to go to Chongqing mainly because Gao Jiu had food in her hands. Since Gao Jiu expressed his opinion and was willing to provide food, the wife no longer forced him to go to Chongqing.

In the following days, Gao Jiu accompanied Ouyang Xue every day and took care of her carefully.

In order to help the anti-Japanese military and civilians in the underground party base to overcome the difficulties, Gao Jiu took out 100 million jin of the food stored in Taohua Mountain and handed it over to Jiang Xiaomei. The underground party also expressed his gratitude for this.

The construction and development of the North District of the Golden Triangle was very fast, but soon encountered a big problem, that is, the power supply could not keep up. Gao Jiu has invested in the construction of a thermal power plant and two small hydropower stations, but these facilities cannot be built in a short period of time. Gao Jiu negotiated with the British Governor-General in Myanmar, and the Governor-General's Office of Myanmar provided part of the power to the North District of the Golden Triangle. Long Yingyuan asked the King of Yunnan to transmit power from Yunnan to the North District of the Golden Triangle, which finally temporarily alleviated the power shortage in the North District of the Golden Triangle.
