He said lightly: "If you have any opinions, please give me some advice."

The person in charge of the underground party said: "Mr. Gao, you are good at everything, but there is just that. Your life is too chaotic, and it can even be said to be chaotic."

Hearing this, Gao Jiu understood what he was going to say. He felt guilty about this matter and could not defend himself. He remained silent and waited for the person in charge of the underground party to continue.

The person in charge of the underground party said: "What I want to talk about Jiang Xiaomei.

You met Jiang Xiaomei when you first went up Taohua Mountain. You fought side by side, through life and death, have already formed a deep friendship, and it can also be said that you have developed love.

Sister Jiang is deeply in love with you, but you hug you, and your life is extremely corrupt and despicable..."

The person in charge of the underground party talked for a long time, but in short, he felt sorry for Jiang Xiaomei.

He said: "I am not only interested in the matter between you and Xiaomei Jiang. Everyone thinks you are doing too much.

What a good girl Jiang Xiaomei is. There are many outstanding cadres in the underground party who admire Jiang Xiaomei, but she has never had any other thoughts for you. But you let her down. It's simply, it's simply..."

The person in charge of the underground party became more and more excited as he spoke. He couldn't continue to say anything, so he picked up the wine glass and kept drinking.

The person in charge of the underground party and the people he mentioned have a very close relationship with Gao Jiu, and the same is true for Jiang Xiaomei.

They have a view on Gao Jiu’s private life, which is entirely due to their sincerity.

Gao Jiu had nothing to say. He remained silent and accompanied the underground party leader to drink.

The person in charge of the underground party criticized Gao Jiu for a while. Later, he felt that he had said it a little too much.

He sighed and said, "You are not from our underground party, and we can't control your affairs, we just feel wronged.

Maybe you don’t know that Jiang Xiaomei has proposed to transfer from the Southwest Shandong Arsenal to serve in the Logistics Department of the Shandong Military Region.”

Gao Jiu understood Jiang Xiaomei's mood and knew that she wanted to change the environment.

He was also very sad and still had nothing to say.

The person in charge of the underground party said while drinking, and finally got drunk and unconscious, so Gao Jiu had to ask Jia Liu to arrange someone to send him back.

Gao Jiu has no time to wait for the Japanese female spy to appear in Luoyang City, so he decided to start the Tai'an Battle first.

Not long after, Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan and others, the head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others flew back to Zhiyuan County, and then led the Taohuashan guerrillas, riding horses or taking cars, and marched openly along the highway.

After they entered Pingle County, they boarded the Pingtai Highway and headed towards Tai'an.

Zhang Quan was chatting with Gao Jiu. Suddenly he saw something, so he asked Jia Liu to stop the car and said, "Jiu Master, Jia Liu, you guys come down."

After getting off the car, Zhang Quan pointed to the hill in front and said, "Jiu Master, Jia Liu, do you remember the first time we were ambushed here?"

Gao Jiu remembered that he and Zhang Quan and Jia Liu were holding the treasure of Taohua Mountain, the 80% new old sleeve, the lame horse, and the donkey with one ear, which was the first ambush here. Looking back on the scene back then, it was very interesting.

Jia Liu said, "Master Jiu, I was really scared when I was ambushing that time. You gave me three bullets. I aimed for a long time, but when I fired, my hand shook and hit the heel of a puppet army."

Zhang Quan said: "Yes, there were only three of us at that time. I was really scared at that time. The Japanese convoy passed by, so we didn't dare to fight. After waiting for several groups, we finally fought a war."

At this time, he saw Gao Jiu and others stop the car, and Guo Hengming and others behind him also rushed over.

It was here that they were rescued by Gao Jiu and others, and they followed Gao Jiu from then on. The rescued prisoners of war later became members of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, and many of them had already died.

Thinking of the scene back then, Guo Hengming couldn't help but feel very moved.

The heads of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Johan and others, also came over, not understanding what they were doing here.

Jia Liu talked about his experience back then, and everyone sighed.

Wang Zhankui said: "Jiu Ye started out as a small copycat. Now his family is a big business, so the change is really too big."

After a while of discussion, everyone got in the car and continued to march.

The brigade of troops passed by Shoucheng County. The Japanese and puppet troops in the city had received a notice from the Taohuashan guerrillas in advance, requiring them to hide in their barracks and not come out, and the puppet police continued to maintain public order.

The Japanese and puppet troops were very obedient and waited tremblingly in the barracks for the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas and the large troops of the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Shandong Military Region.

The Japanese military police captain also sent the Chamber of Commerce president to come forward and set up a reception station in the city to comfort the passing army.

Gao Jiu also kept his promise and did not go to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops in the city. He finished his meal in the county town and continued to head towards Tai'an.

It was a very strange thing in the War of Resistance Against Japan that the Japanese and puppet troops did not fight, and the Japanese and puppet troops did not come out to cause trouble. Fortunately, the head of the underground party and the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district knew that this area was Gao Jiu's territory, and they did not think that such a situation was strange.

Not long after, a large group of people entered Tai'an.

Gao Jiu and others received a report from guerrilla scouts and stopped by the roadside to study the enemy situation.

After so many years, the situation in Tai'an City has also changed. It turned out that the Akiyama Brigade of the 114th Japanese Division stationed in Tai'an has not only been transferred away, but the original Yamamoto garrison captain has also been replaced.

Gao Jiu and others had no relationship with the new Japanese, and they had no scruples when fighting.

Gu Sheng

The person in charge of the underground party sent a telegram to the Southeast Shandong Military Sub-district. Chen Zhiyong, who had returned in advance, sent a telegram saying that he had mobilized three regiments of the main force of the Southeast Shandong Military Sub-district and advanced towards Tai'an.

After discussion, Gao Jiu and the head of the underground party and others decided to march towards Tai'an with great fanfare.

Their goal was to scare away the Japanese and puppet troops in Tai'an City and force them to flee to Jinan or Xuzhou.

The reason why Gao Jiu and others did this was because after taking Tai'an, there would be no Japanese and puppet troops in the entire southeastern Shandong region. In the future, Tai'an City will become the location of the military district of the southeastern Shandong military sub-district. They did not want to fight fiercely in the city, and they would have to rebuild it after causing damage. That would be too troublesome.

Gao Jiu's plan was to wait until the Japanese left the city and then annihilate them in the field.

When approaching Tai'an City, Zhang Quan led some members of the Taohuashan Guerrillas to Jinan to block the reinforcements from the Japanese army.

The guerrillas and underground party forces approached Tai'an City with such a big fanfare that the Japanese garrison in Tai'an City hurriedly sent a telegram to the 12th Army Headquarters, requesting tactical guidance.

Yoshino, commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army, felt a headache after receiving the report, especially when he learned that the anti-Japanese army's armed forces included Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas, he felt that this battle could not be fought.

The Seventh Japanese Army suffered heavy blows from Gaojiu Taohuashan guerrillas in the direction of Henan, and suffered heavy losses. Dongxiang Yoshino was not confident of defeating Gaojiu's troops. He knew that if reinforcements were sent from Jinan, they would definitely be intercepted by Taohuashan guerrillas on the way. Taohuashan guerrillas had a lot of heavy artillery and air force support. The reinforcements might not be able to reach Tai'an City and would lose half of the losses on the way. He could not bear this loss.

But if reinforcements are not sent, Tai'an City will definitely not be able to defend it.

After urgent discussion with the Chief of Staff, Yoshino of Donggo ordered the Japanese army in Tai'an City to immediately abandon Tai'an City and retreat towards Xuzhou.

Yoshino Togo was really smart. He thought Gao Jiu would definitely intercept the Japanese defenders in Tai'an City on the way to Jinan.

At this time, the Tai'an defenders suddenly turned to Xuzhou. Even if Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain guerrillas wanted to stop them, they could not stop them.

Just as the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and underground party troops approached Tai'an City, news came from Tai'an City that the Japanese army abandoned Tai'an City and fled towards Xuzhou.

This move was really beyond Gao Jiu's expectations. He believed that the Japanese army would definitely send reinforcements from Jinan. Under normal circumstances, the defenders of Tai'an City should break through to Jinan. Unexpectedly, they fled to Xuzhou, which was no longer under the jurisdiction of the 12th Army.

Gao Jiu was caught off guard by the Japanese army's sudden breakthrough. He sent Li Chengwu to lead a part of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to pursue the Japanese army, asking them to just follow them and take as much as the Japanese army is eaten.

Gao Jiu also sent the air force to bomb the Japanese marching brigade.

Since the Japanese army was going to Xuzhou, Gao Jiu forced them to leave the southwestern Shandong region completely.

Zhang Quan and others were waiting for the Japanese reinforcements on the road, but the Japanese reinforcements did not go out.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram saying that the Japanese troops in Tai'an City had fled and asked them to go to Tai'an City.

The head of the underground party and the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army originally thought that they would fight a fierce battle in Tai'an City, especially to attack a city as big as Tai'an City. The Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong did not have this experience. They had made psychological preparations to cause a large number of casualties in order to seize the enemy's city.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army was so vulnerable that they gave up Tai'an. The Eighth Route Army took down this important stronghold on the Jinpu Railway without any blood.

After entering Tai'an City, the person in charge of the underground party was very happy. He asked all ministries to go to the countryside immediately to sweep away the grassroots organizations of the Japanese and puppets, and consolidate the base area centered on Tai'an.

Gao Jiu disagreed with them to do so. Taking over Tai'an City was a very important incident, because Tai'an City's geographical location was extremely important. The underground party controlled Tai'an, which was equivalent to cutting off the northern section of the Jinpu Railway.

He believed that the Japanese army would definitely fight desperately and then open up the Jinpu Railway.

The head of the underground party accepted Gao Jiu's opinion and asked the southeastern Shandong and southwestern Shandong Military Sub-district to build fortifications in the Tai'an City area to prepare to repel the Japanese counterattack.

Gao Jiu led the Taohua Mountain guerrillas to stay in Tai'an City for the time being, preparing to assist the underground party in repelling the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

During his stay in Tai'an, Gao Jiu did not forget the Japanese female spy.

He sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, asking him to publicly publish an important news in the newspaper as he requested, saying that Gao Jiu would attend the opening ceremony of the Henan Military and Political Academy held by the 41st Corps in Luoyang City on the third day next month, attracting Japanese female spies to stay in Luoyang City and assassinate Gao Jiu.

After the underground party occupied Tai'an City, it did anger the Japanese army. The interruption of the Gimpo Railway artery had a huge impact on the overall situation of the entire Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield.

Even Shouyi of Desouchuchi could not sit still at this moment. Not only that, Doihara in Tokyo could not sit still.

He flew to Beiping in person and urged the North China Front Army to send heavy troops to recapture Tai'an City. Not only that, he also sent a telegram to the Central China Front Army, asking them to dispatch Japanese troops from Xuzhou to attack the Japanese 12th Army in Jinan, seize Tai'an City, and open up the major transportation artery of the Jinpu Railway.

In this way, a large-scale battle was about to break out.

The head of the underground party sent a telegram to the Shandong Military Region. The Shandong Military Region had already learned about the situation here and decided to launch an offensive in the entire Shandong to restrain the main force of the Japanese 12th Army, and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in southwestern Shandong and the Taohuashan guerrillas in combat operations in the direction of Tai'an.

After taking down Tai'an City, Gao Jiu expected that this was a hornet's nest.

He sent a telegram to Wang Jindong, asking him to negotiate with the 41st Corps and to mobilize some of the Guo army troops to participate in the battle in the Tai'an direction.

The commander of the Seventh Army of the Japanese Army and the commander of the 12th Army were ordered to fly to Beiping City to participate in the combat meeting to open up the Jinpu Railway, chaired by Doihara himself.

In the conference room of the North China Front Command, Doihara, Teruchi Toichi, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army, the commander of the Seventh Army, the commander of the 12th Army, and others discussed the combat operations in the direction of Tai'an.

At the beginning of the meeting, the commander of the Seventh Army, who had already been full of anger, accused the commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army to Doihara, who preserved his strength and refused to save him. At the same time, he did not give Tenuchi Ho a face, and even he accused him.

Teraunuchi maintained his proper demeanor in front of Dohihara, but the commander of the 12th Army, Togo Yoshino, did not take the commander of the Seventh Army, and started arguing with him on the spot.

The more the two commanders quarreled, the more fierce they became. If Doihara was not here, the two would have fought directly.

Doihara saw that they became less and less irritable as they made a fuss, and finally couldn't help getting angry. He reached out and slapped heavily on the table, shouting: "Bageyaru, you are so ignorant of the lieutenant general commander of the great Japanese Huang Army, shut up!"
