Chapter 911 Gifts
Now that I saw such a miserable scene here again, Gao Jiu's anger suddenly burst out.
He gritted his teeth and said, "These damn beasts! I must make them pay a heavy price."
Guo Hengming, Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and the Thai general were also very angry. Everyone yelled angrily and wanted to settle accounts with the Japanese.
Liao Tong said excitedly: "Jiu Master, the Japanese 65th Division has not gone far now. Let's chase after them and destroy these beasts!"
Gao Jiu said: "Send a telegram to the Air Force immediately, dispatch all the bombers, use giant bombs, catch up with the abominable Japanese, and bomb them hard for me."
The 65th Division of the Japanese army advanced towards Vietnam. Since they had already negotiated with Gao Jiu, they had nothing to worry about, so they marched along the highway with a swagger. When they heard the roar of planes from the sky, they could not react for a moment, thinking that this was the Japanese plane's mission to be carried out.
Unexpectedly, a large number of bombers dived down, and groups of giant bombs fell from the sky, causing the Japanese to cry and howl. In just one wave of bombing, more than 2,000 casualties were killed or killed.
The Japanese division commander escaped by chance. He did not dare to march along the highway anymore. He quickly ordered the troops to bury the mountains and forests to avoid the bombing of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.
At the same time, he sent a telegram to his superiors, asking him to protest against Gao Jiuti.
Before the Japanese army entered the forest, a small team of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas who followed them launched an attack on them.
Not long after, the local Thai underground anti-Japanese armed forces also received an order from the Thai general to launch an attack on the Japanese army.
At the same time, Gao Jiu and others were also leading a large group of people to chase him.
After receiving a telegram from the 65th Division commander, the Japanese commander of the South Asian Front was a little unbelievable because Gao Jiu was a trustworthy person and had never repented what he promised. This time, the two sides had already agreed on the conditions, but they didn't understand why Gao Jiu suddenly turned against him and went to trouble the 65th Division again.
In order to quickly resolve this urgent situation, he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking why Gao Jiu was untrustworthy, betrayed, and sneaked into the evacuated 65th Division.
Gao Jiu quickly replied to the telegram, which said in the telegram: "It's not that I'm treacherous, but that the beasts in the 65th Division did something angry and resentful. They slaughtered thousands of innocent miners, and they had many crimes and were full of books. I must make them pay a heavy price."
The commander said in confusion: "What exactly happened?"
The Chief of Staff smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, "The 65th Division arrested a large number of workers and injured some workers. This is a very common thing. What Gao Jiu said must be true."
The commander also knew that the Japanese officers and soldiers under his command never regarded the people in the occupied areas as humans, massacres and abuses the people. He usually knew about these things and turned a blind eye. They knew that such behavior would be hated by the anti-Japanese military and civilians, but they didn't care at all, because the local anti-Japanese armed forces had no choice but to deal with them.
But if this incident hit Gao Jiu, the problem would be serious.
Gao Jiu had sent clear-cut telegrams many times, harshly warning the Japanese army not to massacre innocent people. If such a thing happened, it was inevitable that Gao Jiu would take action.
The commander felt a headache and asked, "How should we deal with this matter?"
The Chief of Staff is the commander's think tank. When he just saw Gao Jiu's telegram, he began to think about how to handle this matter as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
He said: "Commander, what the 65th Division has done has already made Gao Jiu furious. It is probably impossible to persuade him to stop. If we send troops to reinforce the 65th Division, Gao Jiu will definitely send his anger on us, and the front will not have a good life in the future."
The commander asked, "But if we don't go to rescue the 65th Division, I'm afraid they will be destroyed. How can we explain this to the base camp?"
The Chief of Staff said: "It is definitely not OK to not go to rescue, but what effect can send troops to reinforce? Our reinforcements may be bombed by Gao Jiu's bombers on the road, causing heavy losses. The reinforcements sent are likely to be annihilated by Gao Jiu on the road, and it is not OK to send troops to reinforce."
The commander said impatiently: "What do you want to say? He also said that we must send troops to reinforcements, and he also said that we cannot go for reinforcements. What does it mean?"
The Chief of Staff said: "We send troops to reinforce, just to show it to the superiors, and to show it to other troops of our Front Army."
The commander understood the Chief of Staff’s meaning, which was to do thunder and rain. On the surface, he acted as a stance to send troops to reinforce, but in fact he did not really go to reinforce, which was equivalent to letting the 65th Division die on its own.
After all, the 65th Division is a field division with more than 20,000 troops. The commander could not watch so many people being destroyed by Gao Jiu.
He asked, "Is there any better way?"
The Chief of Staff said: "I think there is only one way to calm Gao Jiu's anger and save most of the 65th Division, so that the 65th Division can find a scapegoat and hand them over. Perhaps Gao Jiu can let them live."
The commander understood and said, "I'm afraid that's the only way. You can do this. Things should be done more secretly. Never let those guys in the base camp catch our handle."
The Chief of Staff said: "Your Excellency Commander, don't worry. I will send someone to contact the 65th Division and hint at what they should do."
Faced with the atrocities of the Japanese army, Gao Jiu, Liu Zhanying and the Thai general were both very angry. They immediately led a large group of troops to chase the Japanese 65th Division in the direction of retreating.
On the way, Gao Jiu sent a series of telegrams.
After receiving a telegram from Gao Jiu, the head of the underground party in the northern part of Vietnam immediately mobilized the anti-Japanese guerrillas around the retreat route of the 65th Division of the Japanese army to intercept. At the same time, he also led the main force of the Vietnamese guerrillas to launch a marching force in the direction of the Japanese retreat. They wanted to block the Japanese army's advance, and waited until Gao Jiu and others led a large force to surround the 65th Division of the Japanese army.
Golden Triangle.
After receiving Gao Jiu's telegram, Wang Zhankui immediately sent someone to inform the Air Force to make preparations. On the one hand, he dispatched a group of bombers to bomb the 65th Division of the Japanese army, and on the other hand, he refueled the transport plane. Wang Zhankui and others were going to lead the Taohuashan guerrillas to the way to retreat the 65th Division of the Japanese army and launch an attack on them.
The commander of the 65th Division of the Japanese Army received a telegram from the commander of the front army. After reading it, cold sweat broke out on his head. He originally wanted to retreat to Vietnam safely, but he did not expect that his subordinates would cause such a big disaster.
He was still really unaware of this matter, but as the division commander, he must be responsible for this matter. After urgently discussing with the chief of staff, he decided to leave the infantry brigade that was usually responsible for the miners, let them fight and block, delay Gao Jiu and others, and create conditions for the rapid evacuation of the main force of the division.
They left this infantry brigade, and actually wanted to give Gao Jiu an explanation to let Gao Jiu eat this infantry brigade and stir up the anger in his heart.
The Chief of Staff was also a ruthless man. He thought that leaving only one infantry brigade would probably not satisfy Gao Jiu's appetite, so he simply left all the infantry corps where the infantry brigade was located, and left behind some Japanese mine owners and Japanese foremen in the coal mine, so he simply let Gao Jiu speak out in full.
After the two of them made up their minds, they called the captain of the infantry corps, saying that the enemy was coming here, and ordered them to fight and block and cover the main force of the division to retreat.
When the division commander assigned the mission, he did not tell the Japanese corps commander that Gao Jiu's large group of troops were chasing him. He just said that Vietnamese guerrillas came to attack them and ordered them to fight bravely and annihilate these Vietnamese guerrillas.
The Japanese army's corps leader was not sure what was going on. He believed in the words of the division commander and chief of staff, and promised confidently that he would annihilate the invading enemy and cover the main force of the division to retreat safely.
The division commander was worried that Gao Jiu would kill the troops of the 65th Division indiscriminately. He and the Chief of Staff decided to disperse the large troops of the 65th Division into several groups, and specifically retreated to Vietnam through deep mountains and dense forests to reduce losses when attacked.
The Chief of Staff suggested that it would be best to contact Gao Jiu and tell Gao Jiu about their good intentions, so that Gao Jiu would eat the infantry corps, and not to bother the other troops of the 65th Division.
The division commander thought it made sense, so he wanted to send a telegram to the front military headquarters to ask them to contact Gao Jiu.
The Chief of Staff said that the superiors would never do such things. Such things can only be understood but not expressed in words. They would never communicate with Gao Jiu on this matter, otherwise they would leave a handle and would be pursued by the Japanese base in the future.
He suggested that this matter should be done privately and send a confidant to contact Gao Jiu, so that neither the superior nor themselves will have any trouble.
The division commander thought the Chief of Staff was very reasonable, so he called his adjutant and asked him to disguise himself as an ordinary Thai citizen to look for the Taohuashan guerrillas, and asked them to take the adjutant to meet Gao Jiu and explain his purpose in person.
In order to show their sincerity, the division commander decided to ask the adjutant to hand over two hundred big yellow croakers to Gao Jiu to show their sincerity.
After making this series of decisions, the division commander and chief of staff were worried that they would be intercepted by the enemy's troops when they retreated according to the scheduled route, so they did not evacuate directly to the southwest, but turned to the southeast, and would rather go around and divert to Hanoi after entering Vietnam.
The scouts of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas kept following the Japanese army. They stared at the Japanese army's large group in front of them, and never lost their targets.
But they didn't know that the only Japanese army they saw was the infantry regiment left by the Japanese army. The other Japanese troops had been scattered and evacuated, and they had not noticed it for a while. Therefore, the information they provided to Gao Jiu was always the main force of the 65th Division of the Japanese army.
The scouts received a telegram from Gao Jiu, asking them to contact the Air Force directly to provide them with the bombing coordinates.
Soon after, the Taohuashan guerrilla bomber flew over.
They received the location sent by the scouts from the ground and bombed the Japanese army.
The Japanese army has now entered the dense forest. The bombers on the bomber could not see the Japanese army. They didn't care about so many of them and still threw bombs into the dense forest. Some bombs fell directly on the trees, but some bombs fell on the ground from the gaps between the trees, and still killed and injured many Japanese officers and soldiers.
The Japanese corps commander was a little confused by the bombing. Mingming's division commander and chief of staff told him that the Vietnamese guerrillas were coming to attack, "How could there be bombers coming to bomb?"
Before he could figure it out, he sent a telegram to the division commander, reported to him about the situation here, and asked for tactical guidance.
However, the division commander and chief of staff pretended not to receive the telegram and ignored them at all.
The Japanese army's corps leader didn't know what to do for a moment. Soon after, they heard the roar of planes coming from the sky and hurriedly avoided.
Unexpectedly, this time the enemy plane did not bomb, the wing leader looked into the sky from the gap in the forest, and then he realized that it was not the bomber, but the transport plane. He had not yet figured out what was going on.
About half an hour later, there were fierce gunfire and explosions coming from the left front, and someone soon came to report to him that the traces of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas were found ahead.
The captain of the corps then woke up. The transport plane flying from the sky just now must have been airdropped by the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and launched an attack on them.
The Japanese army's corps commander was also a smart man. He felt that he might have been deceived. Although he didn't know why, he must have been betrayed by the division commander and chief of staff.
He decided to bypass the division commander and chief of staff of the 65th Division, send a telegram directly to the 15th Army Command, report the situation here to them, and ask for tactical guidance.
The Japanese army's corps commander had to do this, because they left behind to block the attacks and were ordered by the commander of the 65th Division. If they evacuated without authorization, they would definitely be sent to the military court. Only when he received the approval of the 15th Army Command would he dare to lead the troops to evacuate.
Just as the Japanese army's corps captain was waiting for instructions from superiors, a large army led by Gao Jiu, Liu Zhanying, Thai generals and others had already chased after him.
The forward of the Taohuashan guerrillas was marching rapidly and saw two people appearing on the road. When they saw the Taohuashan guerrillas, they stood in the middle of the road and raised their hands to signal, indicating that they had something to say.
After a guerrilla team leader in front of the team found out the identity of the visitor, he sent someone to see Gao Jiu.
