The situation currently facing the 20th Army is very serious. On the front, the 23rd Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the Japanese Sixth Division is launching a fierce attack on the positions of the 20th Army. The 24th Regiment is circumventing from the left wing to the south side of Tanxi County.

According to the order of the Ninth War Zone Command, the 20th Army must hold the Tanxi County for at least 5 days. Now they are repairing fortifications near the county town. If the Japanese army breaks through the frontier positions of the 20th Army now, the fortifications here in the county town are not yet complete and it is difficult to stick to them. The 20th Army is now in trouble, and what we need most is to get time to repair fortifications.

After the Chief of Staff introduced the situation, Commander Yang and others looked at Gao Jiu, wanting to see how he, the special envoy, resolved the crisis in front of him.

Gao Jiu acted decisively and decisively. He said, "Please connect me to the chief of the war zone."

The Chief of Staff personally picked up the phone and asked the switchboard to transfer it to the head of the Ninth War Zone. Unexpectedly, the phone could not be connected. The Chief of Staff immediately ordered the communications unit to go out to check the telephone line.

Gao Jiu couldn't wait, and he didn't use the radio station of the 20th Army headquarters. He asked someone to call Jia Liu in and immediately sent a telegram to Lin Yanni.

While waiting for Lin Yanni to reply, Gao Jiu asked someone to get paper and pen. He had a good habit. No matter where he went, he would observe the surrounding terrain. In fact, this is also a necessary quality for a military commander. Before entering the county town, he had already roughly looked at the surrounding terrain environment. Based on the terrain along the line, he drew a comprehensive defense system for excavating trenches for defense, and then called the engineer director and engineer battalion commander of the 20th Army to explain the relevant details of the comprehensive defense system to them.

After reading it, the Director of the Engineer praised it repeatedly, saying: "The special commissioner's defense system is very practical. According to this trench defense system, it can greatly improve our army's survivability and combat capabilities."

The generals present were all experts, and they couldn't help but nodded frequently to Gao Jiu and expressed their appreciation.

The engineer battalion commander said: "This trench defense system is good, but the Japanese army's offensive is so fierce that it is probably too late."

Gao Jiu said confidently: "As long as you can stick to the darkness today, I can guarantee that the Japanese army will temporarily stop attacking tomorrow, and at least it can buy you more than one day. You will start digging from now on, plus the whole day tomorrow, is there enough time?"

The engineer battalion commander said, "This is enough."

Commander Yang and others didn't know why Gao Jiu was so sure that the Japanese army would stop attacking tomorrow.

The deputy commander asked in confusion: "Commissioner Gao, why will the Japanese army stop attacking tomorrow?"

Gao Jiu didn't know much about the people of the 20th Army, and it was not convenient for him to reveal his specific plans. He said: "I have my own way to do this. If you can trust me, you will deploy it as the Japanese army will stop the attack tomorrow."

The generals of the 20th Army whispered to each other, and were a little unbelievable.

The deputy commander said a little dissatisfied: "Commissioner Gao, we can't believe you, but this matter is too big. If the Japanese army does not stop attacking tomorrow, the defense line of the 20th Army may collapse. If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?"

Gao Jiu smiled faintly and did not answer his words.

For Commander Yang, Gao Jiu was highly recommended by the Chief of Staff of the War Zone. The Chief of Staff said that Gao Jiu was as confident as he could not do anything he could agree to. In addition, after having been in contact with Gao Jiu for a while, seeing Gao Jiu's style of conduct, he chose to believe Gao Jiu.

He said: "Commissioner Gao, I believe you, just as you said, the 20th Army will re-adjust the deployment of troops, mobilize troops to dig trenches, and prepare to stick to it for a long time."

Everyone was still a little confused, but when they saw Commander Yang speak, everyone stopped talking.

At this time, Lin Yanni replied to the telegram. After Gao Jiu translated the telegram, he said to Commander Yang and others: "The 39th Army of the Central Army on your right wing has agreed to support you 400,000 bullets, 400 platoon shells and 30,000 grenades. You can send someone to collect it now."

This was naturally coordinated and resolved by Lin Yanni through her father.

When the generals of the 20th Army saw that Gao Jiu had such great energy, they no longer had any doubts about Gao Jiu and expressed their gratitude to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu looked at his watch and said, "No need to delay. Let's take action separately, so I will say goodbye first. At the latest, I will give you accurate information before 6 a.m. tomorrow."

After saying that, he took Wang Guimin, Jia Liu and others away.

The deputy commander looked at the disappearing backs of Gao Jiu and others and said with emotion: "This Special Commander Gao is indeed well-known and his energy is too great. If he can really make the Japanese army stop attacking tomorrow, I will make friends with him."

After leaving Tanxi County, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Director Li of the Wuhan Military Intelligence Department on a truck.

Hefei, the 6th Division.

Gushou is a murderous demon. Most people think he is vulgar and ignorant. In fact, he has a good appearance and wears a pair of glasses and looks very gentle.

He is a very knowledgeable person. He graduated from the 15th class of the Army Non-commissioned Officer School in 1903 and from the 24th class of the Army University in 1911. According to the current saying, he is a highly educated intellectual.

He also has a hobby, likes calligraphy. In the Nanjing Folk Anti-Japanese War Museum, there is a scroll, which is written by Gu Shoufu, a Class B war criminal in the Nanjing Massacre of Japanese invaders. It is called "Riding Breaking Nanjing City". The handwriting is correct and his calligraphy is profound, but the lines are full of arrogance and arrogance.

People who like calligraphy generally like to collect books and posts, and Gu Shou also has this hobby.

There is a folk collector in Hefei who has a book written by Bo Shaozhi, an ancient calligrapher in Dangtu, Anhui.

That afternoon, Gao Jiu and others drove a truck to Hefei City. The Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate were not curious when they saw them driving military vehicles, because at this time the Japanese army seized a lot of military vehicles and requisitioned a large number of civilian vehicles. This situation was very normal.

After Gao Jiu showed his ID, he successfully entered Hefei City and drove towards Northeast Fang Road in the city.

Not long after, three uninvited guests came at the home of Li Xianzhi, a collector at No. 2 Beifang Road. The people came were a Japanese magistrate and two soldiers holding rifles.

The Japanese Grandpa said very well in Chinese, and he said, "Mr. Li, I heard that you have Bo Shaozhi's book in your hand, I want to buy it." As he said that, he opened a suitcase full of fiat coins.

When Li Xianzhi heard that someone asked Bo Shaozhi for a letter, he knew that someone insider had reported it to them, and it was impossible to hide it. He was determined not to give it to him, so he saw the bayonets in the hands of the two Japanese soldiers, and kept waving around. He had to ask the housekeeper to take out Bo Shaozhi's letter.

He said, "You can take the things, I won't want the money, please don't hurt my family."

The Japanese Grandpa glared at his eyes and said, "Baga, you must take the money, otherwise you will die." After that, he left the money and left.

Li Xianzhi felt a little confused. He opened the suitcase and looked at it. There were a lot of fiat coins inside, and there were a few big yellow croakers, which were enough to buy his poster at the market price.

Li Xianzhi was very puzzled and thought to himself: "When did the Japanese become more and more crazy? He didn't force himself to steal things?"

These three Japanese were Gao Jiu, Ning Wen and Ning Wu. Gao Jiu found out through Director Li of the Military Intelligence Department that there was such a collector in Hefei, so he came here specially. Gao Jiu knew that collectors generally treat collections as their lives. If you buy them with money, there will be no chance, so he had to use this method to force them to buy and sell them.

Gu Shou Fu is in a good mood recently. This time he attacked Hefei, he finally got the first place. When he conquered Nanjing, he did not get the glory of taking the Presidential Palace first, and was taken first by the 16th Division. This time, he independently conquered Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province, and then set up an entry-level city-style organization. The entry-level city-style organization made Gu Shou Fu proud.

Gushou's headquarters is at Jinming Hotel, the largest hotel in Hefei. He lives on the fifth floor and is on high alert.

Gao Jiu got Bo Shaozhi's book and called the new Japanese friend he met.

Tandong County, Japan Jiuling Co., Ltd. Branch.

Kanei Kotaro received a call from Major Shisuo Harada, who he met on the road, whom he met on the Nanjing Special High School, saying that he had received Bo Shaozhi's book and asked him to contact his uncle Tan Shoufu. He wanted to give the copybook to the division commander.

Regarding Tani Shou’s hobbies, Kanei Kotaro told Gao Jiu that he knew his uncle’s preferences. He heard that he had found such a precious copybook. He was very happy and said, “Harada, it’s so great. I will tell my uncle immediately.”

After contacting the matter of going to Gushoufu, Gao Jiu asked Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others to wait in the truck parked on the side of the road. He came to the gate of Jinming Hotel by himself. He showed his ID. The sentry could not see any problems, so he let him in.

When he arrived at the entrance of the main building, he asked to meet with the adjutant of the division commander, Major Sato. The officer on duty called the adjutant of the adjutant.

Gao Jiu said: "I am Harada Shixiong from the Special High School Class of the Nanjing Military Police Command. I seized a book by Bo Shaozhi, an ancient calligrapher in Dangtu, Anhui. I want to present it to the division commander and prepare some gifts for you."

Major Sato knew about this. He heard that the person who came was sensible and prepared gifts for himself. He was very happy and came down to see him soon.

Gao Jiu first took out two big yellow croakers and stuffed them to Master Sato. Master Sato is a confidant of the division commander. He was used to receiving gifts, so he didn't refuse, and he was too lazy to even say thank you. He said, "Where is the book? I will transfer it to Master Sato for you."

Gao Jiu took out the book and handed it to him, saying, "Please tell the division commander. In addition to this book, I have an important secret, and I want to tell him personally." After that, he took out another jade ornament and handed it to Sato, asking him to help introduce the division commander.

Major Sato was very happy, and he said, "You wait." He left after that.

About 15 minutes later, Major Sato came down and he said to Gao Jiu: "Let's go, go up with me."

Gao Jiu handed over his weapon and followed Major Sato to the elevator.

In the elevator, Major Sato asked, "Yokita, the head of your Nanjing Military Police Command, is my classmate. How is he doing recently?"

Gao Jiu was startled: "Damn, this guy actually knows a colleague of the identity I wrote. If you continue to ask, you will be exposed."

He had a sudden inspiration and said, "Sato, I came here this time, and I specially changed my way to Hefei. I don't want the people in the military police headquarters to know about it. Please keep it a secret for me, please."

Major Sato understood that this guy took advantage of the opportunity to carry out a mission to do private affairs for his relatives, so he naturally didn't want his superiors to know. He smiled and did not ask any further questions.

Gu Shou had just carefully studied Bo Shaozhi's book and confirmed it was the original work. He also heard that Gao Jiu had something in his hand, so he wanted to meet Gao Jiu.

Gushou's residence was heavily guarded. There were two guards at the entrance of the stairs, and there was a table. Behind him was a second lieutenant on duty. At the door of Gushou's room, there were two guards standing guard.

When he arrived at the door of the room, Sato asked Gao Jiu to wait at the door. He went in and reported first. Soon he came out and said, "Come with me."

Gao Jiu entered the door and saw the notorious Gushou.

Gushou is nearly 60 years old and 1.73 meters tall. Among the Japanese, he is considered to be tall. He is wearing a pair of glasses, with short beards under his nose, and his chin is clean and shaved. He looks pretty and has a bit of a bookish look. However, if you look closely, you can see that the corners of his eyes are drooping, giving people a sense of viciousness.

Gao Jiu secretly thought, this guy doesn't like him, so he has to deal with him later.

After Gao Jiu and Major Sato came in, Gao Jiu stood attentively and saluted himself and reported to his house.

Gushou looked at him and said with a smile: "You are my nephew's good friend. I like Bo Shaozhi's post you sent me. I will give you what you want."

When Gushou smiled, his attitude was very kind and looked very handsome.

Gao Jiu hurriedly said, "Thank you, Commander of the Division."

Gushou asked, "What else do you have? Tell me."

Gao Jiu didn't say anything, looked at Grandpa Sato, Tani Shou understood what he meant and said, "It's okay, you can tell me."

When Gao Jiu saw that Grandpa Sato was not leaving, he was ready to find an opportunity to deal with the guy Sato first.

Gao Jiu took out a cloth bag from his pocket and wanted to get close to Gushou.

Sato stopped him and reached out to pick up the cloth bag. Gao Jiu had no choice but to hand over the cloth bag to him.

Tani Shoufu lowered his head and opened the cloth bag layer by layer. Sato also looked at it with interest, wanting to know what was inside.

When Gao Jiu saw the opportunity, he wanted to step forward and end them. At this moment, someone outside shouted: "Report."

Gao Jiu knew that someone was coming outside, so he had to give up his plan to take action temporarily and stand aside in a regular manner.

Gushou heard the identity of the person coming outside and said, "Come in."

The door opened, and a Japanese Nakasai walked in and said, "Your Excellency the Division Commander, the Chief of Staff, please come over."

Tani Shou was very interested in what Gao Jiu brought. Now that he was disturbed, he was obviously a little unhappy. He frowned and then stretched out again. He opened the safe next to the desk, put the things Gao Jiu brought in, and then said to Gao Jiu: "Tell Sato what you want to say." After that, he followed the Japanese Nakasa.

Gao Jiu watched the murderous demon leave, but there was no way. Gao Jiu could not do it now, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get out of this building!

Gao Jiu did not expect such an accident to occur. Under normal circumstances, he should tell Sato the name of his brother and the number of the army, and then ask Tani Shou to take care of him. However, Gao Jiu did not know the specific situation of the units under the Sixth Division. If he said that, the person called him, the matter would be revealed.

He thought for a moment and said, "Sato, my brother is just a little man. You are busy with noble people. I'm talking now, I'm afraid you won't remember it. Do you think this is OK? After this battle, my brother will make contributions, and I will call you to ask for your care."

It was an insignificant thing for Sato, and now he told him that he really couldn't remember it.

"It's okay," he said, "It's best. If he can make military achievements, it will be more convenient for the division commander to speak."

Gao Jiu said, "Then thank you Sato Jun, please! I will say goodbye first."

Gao Jiu left the building of the Sixth Division Headquarters and then left the hotel gate.

After Gao Jiu walked out of the gate, he looked back at the Japanese headquarters, feeling very depressed. This time he not only did not kill Gu Shufu, but also lost something worth tens of thousands of oceans, but he suffered a huge loss.
