Gao Jiu and others were right. Hamada Yoshihiro summarized his experience in dealing with Gao Jiu. He believed that relying solely on the Yamamoto Garrison's troops, it was impossible to rescue the surrounded 18th Regiment. The reason why he urged Yamamoto Garrison to go to Shoucheng County as soon as possible was because he was worried that Gao Jiu would use the tactics of each defeat and first deal with Yamamoto Garrison.

Gao Jiu is accustomed to the tactics of ambush. Hamada Yoshiji must make the Yamamoto garrison accelerate the advance, so that Gao Jiu has no time to set up an ambush and enter Shoucheng County as soon as possible. Therefore, he used both soft and hard work, urging the Yamamoto garrison to enter Shoucheng County as soon as possible.

Before the Jinan reinforcements arrived, Yamamoto's garrison defended Shoucheng County, which could not only restrain some of Gao Jiu's troops and reduce the pressure on the 18th Regiment, but also prevent Yamamoto's garrison from entering the ground alone and being eaten by Gao Jiu.

On the way to Shoucheng County, Hamada Yoshiji was worried, afraid of being ambushed. When all Yamamoto garrisons entered Shoucheng County, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the city, Captain Hirata, Liu Shengyu and others warmly welcomed Hamada Yoshizhi and the main officers of Yamamoto's garrison. After dinner, they attended the combat meeting chaired by Hamada Yoshizhi.

Hamada Yoshihiro discussed with several captains of Yamamoto's garrison. The Yamamoto's garrison will be stationed in Shoucheng County in the next few days, allowing Captain Hirata and Liu Shengyu to be responsible for the supply of food and maintain the public order in the city.

Captain Pingtian was very dissatisfied. He had lived a good life in Shoucheng County, and the Taohuashan guerrillas never caused trouble for him. Instead, because the Taohuashan guerrillas were active in the county, no one dared to make trouble in Shoucheng County.

The Yamamoto garrison entered Shoucheng County, causing a lot of trouble to Captain Hirata. He not only had to pay money and food to serve these old men, but also had to work and work to maintain public order in the city and strengthen the defense of the city walls and gates.

This is not the most critical. When Yamamoto's garrison enters Shoucheng County, it is very likely to annoy those old men in Taohua Mountain. Once they come to attack Yamamoto's garrison, it will be a fire in the city gate, which will affect the fish. The Shoucheng County Gendarmerie will definitely suffer.

If the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas are annoyed from now on, there will probably be no more peaceful days in the future.

After the combat meeting, Captain Hirata called Liu Shengyu to his office. He said with a sad face: "Liu Sang, Yamamoto's garrison has entered our county town. Do you think Gao Jiu from Taohua Mountain will come to attack our county town?"

Liu Shengyu has a close relationship with Captain Hirata. Of course he knows what Captain Hirata is thinking. He said, "I think it will probably come."

Captain Hirata asked nervously: "If they really come to fight the county town, what should we do?"

Liu Shengyu understood what he meant, mainly because he was worried that he would annoy Taohua Mountain because of this, and was afraid that Gao Jiuqiu would settle the score later.

He said, "Captain, please forgive me for being frank, these lords of Yamamoto's garrison are just passers-by, and they will leave sooner or later. As the saying goes, if the monks can't run away from the temple, where can we go? If we annoy Taohua Mountain, can we live our lives in the future?"

Captain Hirata nodded and said, "Liu Sang, you are my friend, we are our own people, I don't hide it from you. I also think so. What do you think should I do?"

Liu Shengyu did something difficult. After thinking about it, he said, "We have raised food for the Yamamoto Garrison. This matter will be a big trouble when it comes to the ears of the Taohuashan guerrillas in the future."

Captain Pingtian was so scared that his face was pale. This matter could not be hidden. They caused a lot of controversy through the county government and the chamber of commerce. The Taohuashan guerrillas could not have known about this matter.

He asked, "Liu Sang, please come up with an idea for me."

Liu Shengyu said: "We have no choice but to do this. The superiors forced us to do this. My opinion is that we will no longer be involved in other things except for these food and supplies. If the Yamamoto Garrison wants us to provide other help, we will delay as much as possible.

Don't worry, if someone wants to hold you accountable, I will tell my friends that you will be able to keep you."

Captain Hirata believed that Liu Shengyu was able to stay in Shoucheng County and was promoted to the first level of military rank, all thanks to Liu Shengyu's friends for help.

He said, "Yaxi, I'll ask you for this matter."

Liu Shengyu continued: "As for Taohua Mountain, after the battle is over, we will make a sound and say we are willing to establish a good relationship with Taohua Mountain. Taohua Mountain has many ears and ears, so this news will definitely be transmitted to them. At that time, see what conditions they have to offer, and help them solve some of the solutions they can agree.

After so long, I think you understand that Taohua Mountain has never come to cause trouble for us. It just wants to live in peace with us, and the well water does not interfere with the river, so they will not put too much conditions."

Hearing this, Captain Hirata felt more at ease, and he said, "That's it. If there is any situation, let's discuss it in time."

After leaving the military police, Liu Shengyu returned to the Public Security Army Brigade headquarters. He asked Adjutant Li San to notify Sun Yong'an of the information obtained from attending the military meeting and asked him to report the information related to the Yamamoto Garrison to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu and others were on the way to march and received a telegram from Sun Yong'an, knowing that Yamamoto's garrison was indeed going to defend the county town, and they continued to go to Shoucheng county town as planned.

At 11:25 pm, Gao Jiu and others led their troops to outside Shoucheng County.

According to the information provided by Liu Shengyu, after the Yamamoto garrison entered the city, due to long-distance marching fatigue, and they could not have expected that Gao Jiu and others would bring their main troops to Shoucheng County. Therefore, they only sent a small number of troops to take over the city gates and sent a small number of patrols on the city walls on all sides. The guards of the city walls were handed over to the security army and the police brigade.

Hearing this situation, Jiang Xiaomei said, "Brother Jiu, since this is the case, with the help of Liu Shengyu, our people can easily enter the city. Why not just attack the city and destroy these Japanese devils."

Guo Hengming also felt it made sense, and he said, "Yes, Master Jiu, Yamamoto's garrison was just a newcomer and was not familiar with the situation in the county. Our people have the Public Security Army and Sun Yong'an and others to lead the way. It would be better to just destroy these Japanese in the city."

Wang Zhankui also felt that this was an opportunity. He said: "Since we have an insider, why not go into the county town and solve the Yamamoto garrison in the city. If these Japanese soldiers are solved, only reinforcements from the Jinan direction will be left, which will be much easier to deal with. Therefore, I also suggest changing the original combat plan."

Du Shengxi and Huang Shuigen also agreed with this opinion.

Gao Jiu also thought it was a fighter jet, but he didn't make up his mind immediately. The more battles he fought, the more careful he was now, and he still needed to think about it carefully.

He said: "Look at it carefully. If you attack the county town tonight, what problems may you encounter?"

This is a good process for studying problems. After a plan is decided, all participants should consider the problems they may encounter during the execution and make plans in advance, so that they will have greater confidence in completing the plan.

Everyone raised the question in a verbal way, and then everyone discussed the solution together. Finally, they concluded that they would have a great chance of winning by attacking the county town tonight.

Gao Jiu still didn't make up his mind immediately, and he had to consider one more thing:

Although the Yamamoto Garrison had three brigades, each of which was only six or seven hundred. They were garrison troops, and they were not as good as the Japanese field army, regardless of their equipment and training.

The troops brought by Gao Jiu were Taohuashan Special Forces, Wang Zhankui's cavalry battalion, and Jiang Xiaomei's independent battalion. They were all elite troops, well-equipped and absolutely surpassed the Yamamoto garrison in terms of firepower. In addition, with Liu Shengyu's cooperation, it is not very difficult to eliminate Yamamoto garrison.

The key question is, after this battle, what state should Shoucheng County be in? What Gao Jiu most hopes is to maintain the same state as before, and Captain Hirata's military police team and Liu Shengyu's security army continue to guard the county.

However, if Yamamoto's garrison was eliminated in Shoucheng County, it would inevitably affect the military police in Shoucheng County and Liu Shengyu's public security army.

After conquering the county town, the Yamamoto garrison was eliminated, and the military police of Shoucheng County and Liu Shengyu's security army were intact. This is a bit unreasonable. In the future, they will definitely be held accountable by the Japanese, and at least the Japanese will no longer trust them.

If the Japanese army sent a new military police captain and re-established the security army, the Taohuashan guerrillas would lose control of Shoucheng County, and Li Chengwu's Taohuashan 3rd Squadron would not be able to continue to hide in Taoyuan Town. If this is the case, it seems that it would be a bit unworthy of the loss.

Therefore, Gao Jiu must solve a problem, that is, to not only eliminate Yamamoto's garrison, but also to protect the Japanese military police and Liu Shengyu's public security brigade in the county.

Gao Jiu raised this question again and asked everyone to come up with ideas.

This matter is too difficult to deal with, and everyone is very troubled.

Du Shengxi said: "Jiu Ye, why don't we just occupy this county town and incorporate Liu Shengyu's security army into the Taohua Mountain guerrillas we have submitted to, and to defend this county town is better than living in the mountains."

Jiang Xiaomei also hopes to do a big battle. If she can occupy a county town, it will have a greater influence and it will be much more convenient to recruit soldiers and horses. She agreed with Du Shengxi's opinion and said, "Brother Jiu, after conquering the county town, Liu Shengyu can no longer stay in the county town. So she just killed the Japanese military police and let the security army join the Taohuashan guerrillas."

Guo Hengming disagreed with this view, saying: "Shoucheng County is too close to the railway line and may be attacked by the Japanese at any time. Fighting on the plain is not the specialty of our guerrillas, and the county will be lost sooner or later."

Everyone was talking and had different opinions. In this case, Gao Jiugan had to make arbitrary decisions.

After careful consideration, Gao Jiu finally came up with a solution. He finally made up his mind to attack Shoucheng County tonight, eliminate the Japanese Yamamoto garrison, and at the same time to protect Liu Shengyu from being exposed.

Gao Jiu immediately sent a telegram to Sun Yongan, asking him to see Liu Shengyu and tell him what to do tonight.

The night is deep, and Shoucheng County is shrouded in the thick night, everything is so quiet and peaceful.

At 1 a.m. Liu Shengyu, Li San and others came to the city wall with the guard platoon of the Public Security Army Brigade.

Hamada Yoshihiro did not trust the military police, the security army and the police brigade in Shoucheng County. In addition to arranging Japanese patrols on the city wall, he also asked the security army and the police brigade to guard the city walls to allow them to monitor each other.

On a wall southwest of the city, a small team from the Public Security Army was guarding, and six pseudo police officers were also sent to guard them.

Liu Shengyu and others came over, pretending to check the defense of the troops, and patrolled the city wall. When they arrived at the six pseudo policemen, Li San gave the order to take action. The officers and soldiers of the guard platoon suddenly rushed up, and four or five people dealt with a pseudo policemen. Before they could make a sound, they used bayonets to kill them.

Liu Shengyu and others then continued to patrol along the city wall and successively dealt with two pseudo-police police. In this way, the city wall, which was more than 500 meters long, was controlled by Liu Shengyu.

Liu Shengyu and others did not send a signal to the outside of the city immediately because they also had to deal with the Japanese patrol team.

Liu Shengyu and others have already mastered the rules of the Japanese patrol team. They know that in five minutes, the Japanese patrol team will come.

He pretended to patrol the city defense here, and saw the Japanese patrol coming, and then walked over to them.

After the two sides passed the command, the Japanese patrol did not have any doubts and continued to line up and walked forward.

Liu Shengyu and others also continued to move forward. When the two sides passed by, the officers and soldiers of the guard platoon launched another attack on the Japanese. The officers and soldiers of the guard platoon were caught off guard and were also quickly dealt with.

Then, Liu Shengyu raised the flashlight covered with a red cloth and sent a signal to the outside of the city.

Soon a small group of people approached the city wall. Li San and others had tied the rope to the battlements, and the people climbed up along the rope.

The first person to come up was Gao Jiu.

"Justice Jiu." Liu Shengyu came forward excitedly.

"Brother Liu." Gao Jiu also stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

The two briefly communicated. Liu Shengyu asked Li San to take people to support the anti-Japanese army outside the city and lead them to attack the three Japanese brigades. Liu Shengyu led the guard platoon to the Japanese military police headquarters.

The first group to climb up the city wall was Guo Hengming's Second Special Forces Squadron. They led by the Public Security Army to seize the west gate of the city.

Not long after, Guo Hengming and others arrived at the west gate of the city. They wore Japanese uniforms and walked towards the Japanese soldiers guarding the west gate.

The Japanese Yamamoto Garrison in the city had just entered the county town. Not only did they not know the Japanese army of the military police in the city, but the three infantry brigades did not know each other, which created an opportunity for Guo Hengming and others to put on makeup and attack.

At the entrance of the ear room at the city gate, there was a Japanese sentinel. He saw a team of Japanese soldiers coming over and asked the command. He did not find any problems and continued to stand guard there.

Guo Hengming and others walked directly towards the city gate. The sentry was a little confused and went up to meet him. Seeing the rank of captain in Guo Hengming's uniform, he stepped forward and stood attentively saluting, wanting to ask about their purpose of coming here. Before he could speak, a special forces member behind Guo Hengming rushed up and cut his throat with one knife.

The rest of the special forces rushed into the ear room and wiped out a squad of Japanese soldiers in the bed with bayonets.

The city gate opened, and Wang Zhankui, Jiang Xiaomei and others led the large army into the city.

The three Japanese brigades were stationed in two middle schools and a wooden processing factory in the city. Under the leadership of the Public Security Army, Wang Zhankui and others went to besiege the three Japanese brigades.

With the cooperation of Du Shengxi, Jiang Xiaomei's Independence Battalion came to Shoucheng County No. 1 Middle School. Du Shengxi led the special forces to kill the Japanese sentinels first. Jiang Xiaomei led the soldiers of the Independence Battalion to rush in.

The cavalry battalion led by Wang Zhankui attacked the Japanese in the county No. 2 Middle School. Gao Jiu led the Taohuashan Special Forces and the Public Security Army Brigade led by Li San to attack the Japanese army in the wooden factory.

The battle started quickly, and gunfire and explosions were heard.

Japanese military police.

After entering the city, Hamada Yoshihiro lived in the Japanese military police. He was sleeping soundly and woke up by the sudden gunfire and explosion. He put on his clothes in a few seconds and ran out of the room, wanting to see what was going on.

Captain Hirata was also awakened by the chaotic voices in the city. He ran out while buttoning his hands and met Yoshiji Hamada.

Hamada Yoshiji asked: "Captain Hirata, what exactly happened in the city?"

Captain Hirata didn't know what was going on? However, he was familiar with the terrain in the city. From the place where gunfire and explosions came, it could be judged that all three brigades of Yamamoto's garrison were attacked.

He said in a panic: "Eighty times it was Gao Jiu who led his men into the city and was besieging Yamamoto's garrison."

Hamada Yoshiji was not sure about the situation outside, so he did not dare to go out rashly. He ordered Captain Hirata and the gendarmerie he brought to strengthen the garrison. He ran into the room by himself and picked up the phone to ask about the situation of Yamamoto's garrison.

Before making a call, he had a premonition that the call might not be able to be called, because under normal circumstances, if Yamamoto's garrison encountered an attack, someone would call him to inform him.

Sure enough, there was no sound in the phone's receiver, and it was obvious that the phone line was broken.

Hamada Yoshihiro threw down the phone and came outside the door. He heard gunshots outside heading towards the gendarmerie. It was obvious that the anti-Japanese army was coming to attack the gendarmerie.

Hamada Yoshihiro knew nothing about the situation outside and did not know how many anti-Japanese troops were coming towards the military police. He knew what the combat effectiveness of these military policemen under his command was. He was afraid that it would be difficult for them to defend the military police. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked and began to consider escaping from the military police.

Captain Hirata had never fought a war, and he was already in a state of silence when he encountered this situation. When he saw Yoshiji Hamada, he hurried over and asked in a panic: "Secretary Chief, the anti-Japanese army has been fighting, what do you think should you do?"

Yoshihisa Hamada was not familiar with the enemy's situation and terrain. He was originally counting on Captain Hirata to have some tricks. Seeing him like this, Yoshihisa Hamada wanted to come forward and slap him.

Hamada Yoshihiro was worried that he would stay here and be surrounded by the Anti-Japanese Army, and was worried that he would encounter the Anti-Japanese Army after he went out, so he was undecided for a while.

At this moment, Liu Shengyu ran in with a team of security troops. He looked very embarrassed, his clothes were buttoned up incorrectly, and he did not wear a hat on his head.
