Chapter 223 The solemn ceremony
Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni played comfortably for one night. It was already 12:00 when they returned to the hotel. The two of them took the elevator to the floor where they lived, and saw a military command agent under Zhou Mingshan standing in the corridor in front. He saw Gao Jiu coming over and said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Xiao, our webmaster has something to look for you."
Lin Yanni said, "Brother Jiu, then I will go back to my room to rest first. We will go to the warehouse of the Arsenal Bureau tomorrow to see that set of equipment."
Gao Jiu nodded and followed the agent to Zhou Mingshan's room. He asked, "Brother Zhou, I haven't slept yet so late. Is there anything important?"
Zhou Mingshan took out a telegram with a worried look and said, "Look at this."
Gao Jiu frowned after reading the telegram.
The telegram was sent by Xu Zhongming, the stationmaster of the Military Control Commission Jinan Station, introducing the new trends of the Japanese army in Shandong. After the 10th Japanese Division headed south, the 114th Japanese Division stationed in Qingdao arrived in Jinan. The information at the Military Control Commission Jinan Station was very detailed, and the entire 114th Division was well understood, including the names of the main generals:
Lieutenant General Shimatsu Shigeji, Chief of Staff, Colonel Isoda Saburo. Under his jurisdiction: Major General Akiyama Shimaro, commander of the 127th Infantry Brigade: Colonel Kaneya Kotaro, commander of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, commander of the 56th Infantry Regiment, Major General Oboo, commander of the 128th Infantry Regiment: Commander of the 115th Infantry Regiment, Mitsuko Yasaki, commander of the 150th Infantry Regiment, Nakasaki Yamamoto, captain of the 150th Infantry Regiment, Nakasaki Yamamoto, captain of the 18th Cavalry, Major Kanechiro, captain of the 120th Field Artillery Regiment, Shimasaki Otsuka, captain of the 114th Engineer, Major Kaneko Noguchi, and Major Hideji Nakajima, captain of the 114th Infantry Regiment, and more than 23,600 people in the entire division.
The 114th Division was one of the seven Japanese divisions that created the Nanjing Massacre, and their hands were covered with Chinese blood.
Gao Jiu searched the information related to the 114th Division and learned that the 114th Division will be stationed in Jinan for a long time and that he will deal with these beasts for a long time in the future.
The 128th Infantry Brigade of the 114th Division is about to go south to southern Shandong. The 128th Brigade Brigade headquarters and the 150th Infantry Regiment will be stationed in Tai'an. The 115th Infantry Regiment and the 18th Cavalry Brigade will be stationed in Lu County.
The mobilization of other Japanese troops has no effect on Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain at present. The 115th Infantry Regiment and the 18th Cavalry Brigade are about to enter Lu County, which will soon pose a threat to Wang Jindong's 792nd Regiment.
Gao Jiu went to Wuhan this time. After working hard for a long time, he finally got a large amount of supplies and equipment. Now he is in Zhiyuan County. He must transport these supplies back to Taohua Mountain before the Japanese army arrives in Lu County.
Time is tight, so Gao Jiu decided to return to Zhiyuan County tomorrow. He said, "Brother, I have to go back tomorrow. Please contact me and prepare a plane for me to fly to Nanyang Airport."
Zhou Mingshan said: "Now my mission has been completed, let's go together. I will help you transport the batch of supplies back to Taohua Mountain, and then I will go back to Jinan. I will contact the plane tomorrow morning."
Gao Jiu left Zhou Mingshan's room and saw Lin Yanni's door open and the lights were on inside. Gao Jiu knew that she was waiting for him. So he came to the door and knocked on the door gently.
Sure enough, Lin Yanni was waiting for Gao Jiu. She came forward and said, "Brother Jiu, what happened?" She was a smart person. She knew that Zhou Mingshan would wait for Gao Jiu so late, so there must be something urgent.
Gao Jiu walked into the room and sat down, saying, "Girl, sit down, I want to explain some things to you."
Lin Yanni said, "Tell me."
Gao Jiu said: "The news I just got. A part of the Japanese army is about to station in Lu County. It is expected that they may launch an attack on the 792nd Regiment. My supplies are now in Zhiyuan County, and I must go back tomorrow. Therefore, the batch of supplies from the arsenal will be deducted for the time being."
Although Lin Yanni knew that Gao Jiu would leave Wuhan after finishing her business, she didn't expect him to leave so urgently. She said, "What else do you need me to do?"
Gao Jiu said: "The first thing is that Jia Liu's health has not yet recovered. After I leave, I will help me take care of him.
The second thing is that you are responsible for contacting Director Feng of your Military Intelligence Department and telling him that I am leaving Wuhan. Tell him that I have told them all the information I can provide, and I will not wait for them to verify it.
The third thing is that I lack a traffic officer. After I go back, I will select five traffic officers to come to Wuhan as soon as possible. Please help me with training.
The fourth thing is the document I promised to Rogers, you will help me deposit it into Citibank and transfer it to the safe of Citibank in the United States. I will tell him the password at that time."
Lin Yanni said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do these things."
Gao Jiu said a little apologetically: "I won't say goodbye to your parents, I'll say hello to them for me."
After explaining the matter, Gao Jiu was about to leave.
Lin Yanni knew that sooner or later she was mentally prepared. However, when the separation was really coming, she was still very sad. Her eyes turned red and she said, "Brother Jiu, you are leaving now. When will you come to Wuhan again?"
To be honest, Gao Jiu didn't know when he would come to Wuhan, and he couldn't say whether he would come to Wuhan in the future. He could understand Lin Yanni's mood. He said, "Maybe I will come in a while. Didn't I make an appointment with Rogers to go to the United States? By then, I will come to Wuhan first."
After hearing this, Lin Yanni felt better. She was very confused and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.
These days, Gao Jiu has been with Lin Yanni almost every day and night, and he also likes this beautiful and smart girl very much. Gao Jiu is also a little sad. He wants to say something, but he doesn't know how to speak.
He looked at Lin Yanni for a moment, but he really didn't know what to say. So he said, "I'm leaving, you can rest early."
Lin Yanni nodded with tears in her eyes.
Gao Jiu turned around and walked out the door. Yan Ni looked at his back and felt very sad. She wanted to call Gao Jiu and wanted to hug him. But she finally held it back.
Gao Jiu walked out of the door and gently brought the door. Looking at the closed door, Lin Yanni's tears finally fell.
After breakfast the next day, Director Feng of the Military Intelligence Department of the Fifth War Zone and Director Li of the Military Intelligence Department rushed over together. A major general from the General Staff of the Military Commission was also here.
After entering Gao Jiu's room, Director Feng introduced the identity of the major general to Gao Jiu. This person is the deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department of the Military Commission. He is on behalf of the Military Commission to announce the commendation order to Gao Jiu.
The major general said to Gao Jiu with a serious expression: "Mr. Gao Jiu, please stand up."
Seeing that he was so formal, Gao Jiu stood up.
The major general first touched his feet and stood up. Then, Director Feng, Director Li, Zhou Mingshan and others behind him, also imitated him and stood attentively!
The major general took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and said, "I will now announce the commendation order of the Military Commission:
The Military Commission gave special commendation to the enemy's initiative and provided very important information for the upcoming Wuhan Battle of the National Army. The Military Commission gave special commendation. Because the Military Commission is a civilian and is not applicable to the regulations of the National Army, the Military Commission decided to give a material reward. The Military Commission rewarded Gao Jiu's legal currency of 200,000 yuan."
The legal currency is a paper banknote issued by the National Government. At this stage, it still has a high purchasing power. The exchange rate with the ocean can reach 2:1.
200,000 French currency is not a small amount, equivalent to 100,000 oceans. To be honest, it is useless to award Gao Jiu any medals or something, and it is still affordable to him. He said happily: "Thanks to the Military Commission for the rewards. If necessary in the future, I will continue to provide information to the national army."
The major general had never had contact with Gao Jiu before and had no feelings for each other. He routinely announced the commendation order and left.
Director Feng said: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao, you have now registered a number in the Military Commission. If you are willing to join the National Army, you will definitely have a bright future. Our leaders of the Fifth War Zone appreciate you very much. If you are willing to come to the Fifth War Zone, you will at least have the rank of lieutenant colonel. You are so young and so high, you are the Scorpion's father, the only one!"
Director Li saw Director Feng win over Gao Jiu here and made a wish. He said disdainfully: "You don't know this. As early as a few months ago, the Military Commission had entrusted our Military Commission Jinan Station to award the military rank of Gao brothers, but unfortunately, Brother Gao did not accept it.
What he said was that the Fifth War Zone was a miscellaneous army compared to the Central Army. Gao Jiu's official colonels of the National Army would not accept it. How could he care about you, a lieutenant colonel of the miscellaneous army?
Director Feng really didn't know that this was going on. He smiled a little embarrassedly, and then took out a bill of exchange from his pocket. He said, "This is a little bit of our Fifth War Zone Command, and I hope Mr. Xiao will accept it with a smile."
After handing the bill to Gao Jiu, he waved to Qin Feng and Zhao Guosheng who had been waiting at the door. Qin Feng and others walked in. They carried a box and placed it on the table. Qin Feng opened it and said, "Master Jiu, Chief Lin heard that you like Browning pistols, so he specially applied for some gifts to you."
Gao Jiu saw that there were red brocade inside the suitcase, and six brand new Browning pistols were placed on it.
Gao Jiu was a little surprised, as if he had never said he wanted a Browning pistol! When he saw Lin Yanni showing a smug smile, he immediately understood that this was when Gao Jiu seized the pistols of the three of them in Lanxi County. He praised a few words casually. This girl was really mean. She actually remembered this matter in her heart and made this request to Director Feng.
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Director Feng is so polite. Thank you to the leaders of the Fifth War Zone, and to Director Feng and the brothers of the MIIS of the Fifth War Zone."
At this time, Director Li also stepped forward and said, "Brother Gao not only provided important information for our Military Control Commission, but also helped our Military Control Commission solve two spy cases. Our boss asked me to express my gratitude to you on his behalf."
He also took out a bill of exchange and said, "This is 20,000 oceans. In addition, we have specially prepared 10 sniper rifles for you, plus 5,000 bullets, and have sent people to the airport."
After everything that should be done was done, Gao Jiu said goodbye to Director Feng, Director Li and others. Director Feng and Director Li were both going to the airport to see Gao Jiu off. Zhou Mingshan said, "Two officials, it's not a big deal for you to see off. Just Miss Lin will give it away."
After saying that, he gave the two a wink. Director Feng and Director Li were both sensible people. They smiled knowingly and said, "Okay! We won't go to send you there. Mr. Xiao takes care of him all the way, and the brothers will say goodbye."
After Director Feng, Director Li, Qin Feng and others left, Gao Jiu and others took a bus to the Army General Hospital.
Gao Jiu's blood function was very powerful. In just one day, Jia Liuer's complexion improved a lot. Seeing Gao Jiu come in, he struggled to get up. Gao Jiu hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Xiao Liuzi, how about it, do you feel better?"
Jia Liu said, "It's okay, I feel much better."
Gao Jiu asked about the doctor Jia Liu's condition. The doctor said that Jia Liu was out of danger and just needed time to recover. Moreover, judging from the current situation, he should recover faster than ordinary people.
Gao Jiu felt relieved when he saw that Jia Liu was fine. He said to Jia Liu: "If there is something to do on our mountain, I must leave Wuhan today. You can rest here with peace of mind. After the injury heals, I will arrange someone to send you back to Taohua Mountain."
Jia Liuyi was dissatisfied when he heard this. He cried and said, "Master Jiu, I don't want to stay here. I want to go back with you. I don't want to be separated from you."
Gao Jiu said, "I understand your mood, but you are a patient now. After all, you are recovering from the injury, won't we meet?"
Jia Liu reached out and grabbed Gao Jiu's sleeve and said, "I don't want to, I just want to go back with you." As he said that, he started crying.
Gao Jiu reached out and touched his head, saying, "Obe obedient, you are here, Sister Yan Ni will take care of you."
Lin Yanni smiled and said, "Yes, Jia Liu, you should recover from your injuries. When you get better, I will take you to buy new clothes, eat delicious food in the restaurant, and watch good movies."
When Jia Liu heard that there were so many benefits, his discomfort in his heart was relieved a lot. He sobbed twice and said, "Master Jiu, don't forget, as long as I can walk, you can pick me up."
After leaving the Army General Hospital, Gao Jiu and the others drove towards the airport. When passing by a department store, Gao Jiu ordered the parking, and he said, "After going back this time, I will hold a wedding for Du Shengxi and Zhao Xuemei. But I don't know what to buy, you all help the staff."
Lin Yanni said: "This is not easy to deal with, let me buy it. Ning Wen, Ning Wu, you two go with me."
About 40 minutes later, Lin Yanni, Ning Wen, Ning Wu, and Ning Wu came back with a bunch of things in small bags.
Zhou Mingshan shook his head when he saw it, Gao Jiu also found it a little funny. Lin Yanni, a big girl's house, is also an amateur in these things. She just saw from the movie that people prepared those things for weddings, so she bought a lot of them, such as suits, wedding dresses, etc., which were completely prepared according to Western weddings. These things were obviously a bit inconsistent for Du Shengxi and Zhao Xuemei.
Gao Jiu was unwilling to attack Li Yanni's enthusiasm. He praised: "No, very good! Having a girl is worry-free."
He said this to make Lin Yanni happy. Who would have thought that Lin Yanni would feel worry-free when she heard the words "Having a girl is here", which reminded Lin Yanni that she was about to part with Gao Jiu, and her mood suddenly became depressed.
Gao Jiu understood her thoughts and pulled the topic apart. He said, "I've bought all the things, let's go to the airport."
After arriving at the airport, Zhou Mingshan and others got on the plane, leaving Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu farewell.
Lin Yanni had a lot of words to say, but at this moment she didn't know what to say. Her lips squirmed a few times, and tears were circling in her eyes. Gao Jiu didn't know what to say, so he just said: "Girl, I will come back to see you when I have time."
Lin Yanni nodded, and tears finally couldn't help but flow down. Seeing her pear blossoms with rain, Gao Jiu suddenly felt a little distressed. He couldn't help but reach out and hug her in his arms. Lin Yanni hugged Gao Jiu and cried a few times, and then silently put her head on Gao Jiu's chest. The two of them hugged without saying a word.
After a while, Lin Yanni let go of Gao Jiu. She took out a password book from her pocket. She smiled at Gao Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu, this is the password book I compiled for you. This password book only belongs to the two of us. I will contact you frequently."
After saying that, she said casually: "Brother Jiu, you go, take care of yourself!"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Girl! You are the same, take good care of yourself. Okay, I'll leave!" After that, Gao Jiu turned around and got on the plane.
The plane took off. Gao Jiu looked down from the porthole and saw Lin Yanni standing on the airport, her figure getting smaller and smaller, and soon disappeared.
The next day at 5:00 pm, Nanyang Airport.
Chapter completed!
