Yudong County.

Chu Tianxiong, the head of the Juntong Nanchang Station, was entrusted by Director Li of the Intelligence Department of the Juntong Headquarters to deceive Wu Tianming. He himself wanted to establish a relationship with Gao Jiu through this incident. Therefore, he exaggerated Gao Jiu.

Nine's military commanding talents, as well as his profound background in the national government.

Wu Tianming and others are now even more worried that they have offended Gao Jiu and will suffer unbearable consequences.

Hearing that Gao Jiu would come to Yudong County at night, Wu Tianming and others did not dare to sleep. They waited until 12 o'clock in the evening when news about Gao Jiu finally came from the east gate of Yudong County.

The soldiers guarding the gate called and reported that there was a Mr. Gao who asked to see Commander Wu.

Accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue drove to the gate of the county town to greet Gao Jiu in person.

Gao Jiu waited at the gate of the county town for a short time when he saw two cars approaching. They quickly stopped in front of him and a lieutenant general and two colonel officers got out of the car.

Gao Jiu looked at them and distinguished their identities.

The 62nd Division only has one lieutenant general, and this lieutenant general is naturally Wu Tianming. The other two colonels are also easy to identify. The tall one is Chu Tianxiong, the commander of the Nanchang Station of the Military Command, and the other one is of course the staff officer of the 62nd Division.

Chang Wang Literature.

Although Wu Tianming, Wang Wenxue and Chu Tianxiong already knew that Gao Jiu was very young, they were still a little surprised when they saw him in person. Because Gao Jiu was so young, only in his twenties, he actually

He has done so many great things and gained such a great reputation.

Gao Jiu walked over to meet Wu Tianming.

Gao Jiu's current identity is the deputy director of the colonel of the training headquarters. He is also wearing the uniform of the Chinese army. In front of the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division, Gao Jiu also gave Wu Tianming face, so Gao Jiu stepped forward and followed the army's instructions.

First of all, he saluted Wu Tianming, announced his home address and said: "Deputy Director of the Ninth Theater Training Command, Gao Jiu."

Wu Tianming had been apprehensive before meeting Gao Jiu. Seeing Gao Jiu's courtesy, he immediately developed a good impression of him. He also hurriedly returned the greeting to Gao Jiu, also reported his family name, and said: "Commander of the 62nd Division of the 29th Army

Wu Tianming.”

After speaking, he took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Gao Jiu and greet him.

Gao Jiu had not actually met Chu Tianxiong, but in the telegram, Director Li of the Intelligence Division of the Military Command Headquarters had described Chu Tianxiong's appearance. According to the pre-arranged agreement, he and Chu Tianxiong saluted each other and shook hands.

He held Chu Tianxiong's hand and said, "Brother Chu, I'm glad we meet again."

Chu Tianxiong has been observing Gao Jiu since he met him. The Chinese army attaches great importance to superiority and etiquette. He saw the courtesy between Gao Jiu and Wu Tianming, and he also had a good impression of Gao Jiu. Seeing Gao Jiu

Jiu greeted him, and he immediately acted cordially and said, "Yes, we haven't seen each other for a few days. This time we brothers want to have a good drink."

Next, Gao Jiu exchanged greetings with Wang Wenxu, the chief of staff of the 62nd Division.

Back at the headquarters of the 62nd Division, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue, accompanied by Chu Tianxiong, hosted a banquet for Gao Jiu.

Wu Tianming had always been worried that Gao Jiu was here to cause trouble for him. After three glasses of wine, he winked at Wang Wexue.

Wang Wenxu said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, the seizure of weapons and ammunition is purely a misunderstanding. If we knew that those supplies were yours, we would never do such a thing, and we would definitely send troops to help you escort them.

"

Gao Jiu smiled and said: "I won't mention this matter. Didn't you already help me send weapons and ammunition? Then thank you, Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang."

Seeing Gao Jiu's magnanimity, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu breathed a sigh of relief and became even more enthusiastic.

After everyone chatted for a while, Gao Jiu began to change the topic.

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, and Station Commander Chu are brothers and my good friends. You are good friends of Station Commander Chu. We can also be said to be friends. Friends should take care of each other."

Bar?"

Wu Tianming heard something in Gao Jiu's words. It seemed that there was something wrong with him. Gao Jiu was dissatisfied. He asked: "Mr. Gao, of course I and Stationmaster Chu are good friends. Brother, what did I do wrong?"

Please give me some pointers as to the place."

Gao Jiu said: "Mr. Wu, don't get me wrong. There is no dispute between us. What I want to say is about things related to you."

Wu Tianming asked curiously: "Is it related to us? What exactly is it? Please give me some advice from Mr. Gao."

Gao Jiu said: "I am now leading a supplementary regiment to block the attack. There are liaison officers sent by the commander of the fifth war zone. They came from Xiaochenzhuang and saw some things. They seem to have some opinions about your 62nd Division. I

I didn't quite believe it at the time, but people said that your 62nd Division abandoned its position after seeing the Japanese, and that an officer and a squad of soldiers were left behind to observe the surroundings. It seemed like

I really saw something."

When Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Although they were not afraid of the Ninth War Zone Commander's Department, it would still be a big trouble if someone caught the real evidence and brought it to the Military Commission.

Wang Wexue said nervously: "Mr. Gao, that's not what happened at all. We have reported the specific situation to the senior management department. The liaison officer of the senior management department may have misunderstood."

He was testing Gao Jiu's attitude and wanted to find out how far this matter had gone.

Wu Tianming also looked at Gao Jiu and listened to what he said.

Gao Jiu said: "I didn't really believe this matter, so I suppressed it and did not let them report it to the commander's department. I personally came to the 62nd Division Headquarters to understand the situation. After I understood it clearly,

Then decide whether to report it.”

Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu are both smart people. After hearing this, they understood that the things they gave up on the Big and Small Chenzhuang must have been seen by others. Gao Jiu suppressed the matter and came here to say, then

It saves them face.

Of course, Gao Jiu will not just be a good person for no reason, he must have other requirements.

Before Gao Jiu came, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue had discussed it. In order to appease Gao Jiu, they thought of giving Gao Jiu some benefits. They guessed that Gao Jiu might be short of weapons and ammunition, but they saw that they had brought such a large number of

For weapons and ammunition, the only thing they could give Gao Jiu was money, so they made preparations in advance.

Wu Tianming said: "Mr. Gao is still a fair man. Thank you for your trust in our 62nd Division." As he said that, he winked at Wang Wexue.

Wang Wenxue took out a leather bag, opened it and let Gao Jiu take a look. Inside was ten large yellow croakers. He said: "Our 62nd Division has inadvertently seized your weapons, ammunition and supplies, Mr. Gao. We feel very worried about this matter."

I'm sorry, Mr. Wu and I apologize to you, but please accept our kindness."

Wang Wenxue's excuse for giving the gift was to clear up the misunderstanding caused by the seizure of weapons and ammunition. In fact, he wanted Gao Jiu to cover up the abandonment of Big and Little Chenzhuang for them.

In this era, regarding the matter of accepting gifts, unless you don’t want to deal with the person giving the gift in the future, or the person giving the gift is of poor character, you still have to accept gifts from others. Otherwise, if people think you don’t accept them, they will be harsh

to offend him.

Gao Jiu was not a fool, he would not do such a stupid thing. He took the bag unceremoniously and said: "It's easy to say, don't mention this matter again in the future."

Sure enough, when they saw Gao Jiu accepting the gift, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere at the wine table became even more lively.

After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, Gao Jiu said, "Brother, I have one more thing to discuss with Commander Wu and Chief of Staff Wang when I come here this time."

Wu Tianming saw that Gao Jiu had accepted his gift, and his attitude became more and more intimate. He approached and said, "Brother Gao, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Gao Jiu said: "Brother, I live in Peach Blossom Mountain. Although it is surrounded by the territory of the Japanese and traitors, my life is very nourishing. Our Peach Blossom Mountain is not as poor as most people imagine. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery. It is a place for outings and fun."

Good place to go.

Our cottage has electric lights, telephones, a hospital, a coffee shop, a library, a gym, a dance hall, and a cinema. We have sufficient supplies of supplies and our life is very comfortable."

In the minds of Wu Tianming, Wang Wexue, Chu Tianxiong and others, the bandit's village consisted of a few shabby houses on the top of the mountain. The situation in Peach Blossom Mountain mentioned by Gao Jiu was completely beyond their understanding.

Wang Wenxu said: "It's really unexpected that Mr. Gao was able to build Taohua Mountain like this in such a dangerous environment behind enemy lines. It's admirable."

Gao Jiu said: "Brother, I stayed well there, why did I come to Wuhan to fight the Japanese? I always feel that this person can't always make his own small calculations. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping, this person also has to

A bit of a pursuit.

As a man, especially a soldier, in this era of war, you have to do something spectacular. Otherwise, you will feel regretful when you grow old.

The little Japanese came to our China to burn, kill and loot. As a Chinese soldier, it would be a shame if we could not fight against them and make contributions in the Anti-Japanese War.

Brothers, I came here today to discuss with the division commander and Chief of Staff Wang, so that we can fight together."

Hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu were reluctant. They looked at each other without saying anything.

Gao Jiu knew what they were thinking, and continued: "It turns out that you all know the combat effectiveness of the supplementary regiment of your 62nd Division. Those guys are all rookies, but can you think of it? They are near Xinfenghe Bridge.

Defeated a Japanese infantry brigade

, and wiped out more than five hundred Japs. Just before I came, these rookies in the supplementary regiment repelled the attack of an entire reinforced regiment of the Japanese army, and annihilated hundreds of Japs. And I can be sure that the Japanese army

Reinforcements will never be able to pass through the area they are defending."

Hearing this, Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue were a little embarrassed. In their eyes, the supplementary regiment was just cannon fodder and not worth mentioning at all. Facing the reinforcements of the Japanese Third Division, their 62nd Division basically didn't shoot a single shot.

They gave up their position immediately, but the supplementary regiment, which they looked down upon at all, was able to block the reinforcements of the Japanese Third Division at Nanfeng Mountain. Although they were selfish, they were also people who wanted to save face. This matter was

It's like a slap in the face.

Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxue both looked ugly. They didn't know what to say and continued to remain silent.

Gao Jiu said: "Commander Wu, Chief of Staff Wang, do you think the supplementary regiment has the stronger combat effectiveness, or do you think the 62nd Division has the stronger combat effectiveness, which has been battle-hardened and tested for a long time?"

Of course Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu were not convinced. They believed that their troops were more than twice as strong as the supplementary regiment. However, they did not know how to answer Gao Jiu's words.

Gao Jiu continued: "There is no doubt that the Japanese army is powerful in combat, but they are not invincible. As long as you dare to fight the Japanese army and have proper tactics, you can defeat them and eliminate them.

Wang Jindong's new 187th Division is a newly formed unit, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as your 62nd Division. At that time, the Daqing River Bridge and Han Ferry Ferry were occupied by the Japanese army, and the 187th Division was in an isolated and helpless situation.

.But they dared to fight the Japanese army. After a bloody battle, they wiped out an entire brigade of Japanese troops and established outstanding achievements. Wang Jindong also became a famous anti-Japanese general in China. I believe you all know this."

Wang Jindong's sudden rise really made the generals of the Chinese army envious and jealous. Of course Wu Tianming and Wang Wenxu also discussed this matter. They both felt that Wang Jindong was just lucky. Otherwise, the new commander of a division would

Troops, I'm afraid they can't even deal with a single Japanese regiment.

Gao Jiu said: "Now the 62nd Division is in a very important strategic position, and the environment and conditions in all aspects are better than those of the new 187th Division. Why can't you fight a beautiful battle and make you a famous anti-Japanese general and be favored by others?
