Chapter 408 One price a day
Boiling eagle, which is also used as a big eagle in the old Beijing dialect, is one of the ways to train falcons. In layman's terms, it means not letting the falcons sleep, and keeping it tired.
Because the eagle has a fierce habit, it is not allowed to sleep after it is caught. For several days, the eagle's wildness is wiped out and gradually becomes obedient.
Gao Jiu’s next thing was to slowly destroy the will of the Japanese army like a hawk.
Gao Jiu believed that the Japanese army was not only strong in will, but they still had a strong desire to survive. The breakthrough operation last night could prove this. The Japanese army could not break through and did not take suicide actions to continue to break out, but chose to retreat to the mountain. This proved that they still had the hope of survival.
As the saying goes, "No desires will lead to strength." As long as the Japanese army still have the desire to survive, they have the possibility of surrender if conditions permit.
The Japanese army's plan to release materials in the air had completely failed, and the Japanese army on the mountain began to truly fall into despair. It was time to start implementing the Eagle Plan.
Gao Jiu assigned the first phase of the mission to the army:
1. All departments strengthened the construction of fortifications and strictly guarded the enemy. They must not let a Japanese army escape the encirclement.
2. The irregular fire of Type 92 infantry artillery kept the Japanese army in a state of mental tension.
3. In the direction of the wind on the hill guarded by the enemy, set up a few large pots and stewed the meat for 24 hours, so that the fragrance continued to float towards the Japanese army, further enhancing their hunger.
4. The anti-Japanese army besieged the enemy army uniformly learned to sing Japanese songs and sang when they had time. Using radio equipment, Japanese songs and poems about missing their hometown were played in the late night and in aroused the Japanese army's nostalgia for their hometown and aroused their strong desire to survive.
The first phase of the task is planned to be completed in three days, and the second phase of the task is then carried out according to the situation.
Jinan.
The commander of the Japanese Third Air Force, Makio Yokota, was really afraid of Taohua Mountain now. He really couldn't figure out what secrets were hidden in Taohua Mountain. Their air defense firepower was constantly increasing. Now there were anti-aircraft guns, and they were shooting so accurately that the plane flew there was purely to die.
Before Yokota's 12th Army Command could call, he took the initiative to call and asked to speak with General Haneda.
After the phone was connected, Makio Yokoda first talked about the losses of the Air Force and the difficulty of carrying out combat missions in the Taohua Mountains, saying that the Air Force could no longer continue to carry out missions.
The air force is assigned to the 12th Army Command, and the 18th Regiment is also a subordinate of the 12th Army. The palms and backs of the hand are all flesh. The losses of the air force have been very heavy so far. If they are economically just in line with the situation, they will be enough to re-equip several 18th Regiment. If they continue to lose, General Haneda would not be able to bear it. So he agreed to Makio Yokoda's request and temporarily stopped the air force from going to Taohua Mountain to perform his mission.
For the 18th Regiment, General Haneda had made up his mind to give up them. It seemed that there was a bottomless pit. In order to rescue them, they had lost three brigades of Yamamoto's garrison, and the third air force suffered heavy losses. In order to cooperate with the operation of Taohua Mountain, the anti-Japanese armed forces affiliated to the underground party carried out attacks everywhere in the entire Shandong region, causing great trouble to the 12th Army.
General Haneda subconsciously, he even hoped that the 18th Regiment in Taohua Mountain would be over and over again to restore the previous order.
Makio Yokota breathed a sigh of relief, he put down the phone and ordered the orderly officer to give him a cup of coffee, and he wanted to enjoy the leisurely days that followed.
At this moment, the phone rang, and Makio Yokoda picked up the phone, and the delicate voice of the female on-duty officer of the switchboard came from inside.
"His Excellency Commander, there is an outside phone call to you. I asked him about his origin, but he refused to tell me.
I said that according to the regulations, he could not transfer his phone number. But he said that if you don’t answer this phone number, you will definitely regret it. I dare not make any decision and I will ask you for instructions."
The female on-duty officer on the switchboard spoke softly and roundly, and pleasantly, but it made him feel creepy in Yokota's ears. He guessed that it was probably another call from Gao Jiu's people.
He really didn't want to answer this call, but he had to answer it. He wanted to hear what the other party said so as to judge what the other party was going to do next?
He said, "Come on."
The phone call was from Ning Wen, and he said bluntly: "Your Excellency Commander, I have agreed not to send a plane to Taohua Mountain again, but you are not trustworthy. My Jiu Ye is very angry and decided to punish you."
Makio Yokota has a bad temper and is very proud. If someone else dares to talk to him like this, he will definitely give him good looks. But thinking about that terrifying guy Gao Jiu, he really doesn't dare to be arrogant.
However, he refused to show weakness in front of the other side, and he said, "What do you want to do?"
Ning Wen said: "You have broken the rules of the game first, and you have to pay the price. My Jiu Ye said that he was sleeping and was woken up by your plane. He was frightened and asked you to use 50,000 oceans to compensate him."
When Makio Yokota heard the reason why Gao Jiuda was awakened by sleeping during the day, he couldn't help but feel angry and said, "You damn bandits! You dare to come to me to blackmail. If you have the ability, come."
After saying that, he suddenly hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, Yokoda Makio was so angry that he grabbed the coffee cup on the table and fell directly to the ground. Unfortunately, the coffee he had just brewed wasted and he didn't drink it in a sip.
After venting his anger, he suddenly felt so uneasy, so he sent someone to call the Chief of Staff and a confidant Flying Captain over.
Makio Yokota told them what had just happened and asked for their opinions.
The officers and soldiers of the Third Air Force are now very afraid of Taohua Mountain. When the Chief of Staff and the Captain of the Captain also showed a look of horror on his face when he heard this.
The terrifying situation of the attack at the airport is still vivid in my mind, and it makes them feel scared.
The Chief of Staff said: "My Excellency Commander, I am forgiving, you should not be impulsive. 50,000 oceans are just the price of a plane. It is better to agree to them. Otherwise, how much damage will it cause to us?"
The Flight Captain followed Makio Yokota from the first day of joining the army. The two had a very close relationship and did not talk so much. He said, "Commander, I also agree with the Chief of Staff's opinion. Those bandits hid in Taohua Mountain and had such powerful air defense firepower. We had no choice but to deal with them, but we couldn't prevent them from coming to trouble us. There was no need to fight them to the death.
Gao Jiu is a trustworthy person. As long as an agreement is reached, he will not repent. I agree, so I simply agree to their conditions."
Hearing that the Chief of Staff and the Captain were all this opinion, Makio Yokoda calmed down a lot. He now began to regret that he was impulsive. He said, "You are right, but now I don't know how to contact them. These damn bandits will definitely take revenge on us."
The Chief of Staff was also very worried, and he said: "It's really a big trouble. I will inform all our troops to strengthen their defense in a while."
The captain said: "Where does the enemy come from? What measures should we take? We know nothing, how can we prevent it?"
Yokota Makio really started to have a headache, and he said, "What should I do?"
The captain said, "I have heard of many things about Gao Jiu. After all, this guy is a bandit and likes money. I guess he will not do anything. He will try every means to give us a warning and continue to negotiate with us."
The Chief of Staff also heard about this. It is said that the Taoxi River Gold Mine offered Gao Jiu the money given to him, so Gao Jiu did not go to attack them. Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved. He said: "I also feel that there is such a possibility. Let's notify the troops to strengthen their vigilance and minimize losses as much as possible. After the attack occurs, Gao Jiu will call again and you promise him."
Yokota Masao was in a better mood, but he was still uneasy. He didn't know where Gao Jiu would launch an attack, so it would be better not to hit him.
He received a report on the battle situation that Gao Jiu infiltrated the 63rd Regiment and killed Colonel Tanaka. The division commander of the 6th Division, Shoufu, was also attacked in the division headquarters. His injuries were severe and he has not recovered yet.
After the chief of staff and the captain left, he considered it over and over again and decided to temporarily leave the Third Air Force Command. He took a team of confidants to leave the Third Air Force Command on the excuse of going out for inspection.
After Ning Wen put down the phone, he felt a little unhappy. He immediately got on a rickshaw with Ning Wu and headed to the headquarters of the Third Air Force located on Shifang Street.
The two carefully observed the environment there, then returned to the residence provided by Bao Yuchun, carefully studied the map, and then went to find Bao Yuchun to make careful arrangements.
At two o'clock that night, four mortar shells flew into the yard of the Japanese Third Air Force headquarters, but no one was injured and only one car was blown up.
Of course, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others did this. They carried a mortar and after firing the shells, they quickly hid under the cover of Bao Yuchun's men.
Makio Yokota, who lived in the hotel, received a report and felt at ease. He knew that Gao Jiu was not hurting others, but just gave him a warning. He began to wait for Gao Jiu to call.
Not long after, the phone called, but it was not Ning Wen, but the people from the Special High School Division of the Gendarmerie Command came to the Third Air Force to investigate the situation.
When Yokota Makio Yokota heard the three words "Special High School Class", he was so angry that he would not have suffered such heavy losses if Hamada Yoshihiro had no intention of making random ideas. Therefore, he did not tell the people of theSpecial High School Class about Ning Wen talking to him.
If the people in the Special High School Course know the whole story, they may really catch Ning Wen and others, because Ning Wen and others cannot use private phones to make this call, they can only use public phones. The number of public phones in Jinan City is limited, and the people in the Special High School Course can monitor every telephone booth, and Ning Wen and others may really encounter danger.
Makio Yokota had thought about this problem, but he did not dare to take this risk, nor was he willing to take this risk again. Don’t say that he might not be able to catch the person who made the phone call, what if he caught it? Then offend the people in Taohua Mountain. If they take revenge in the future, it would be as simple as blowing up a car.
Ning Wen has been following Gao Jiu for so long, and he is becoming more and more sophisticated. That night, he did not call Makio Yokota because he appeared in a public telephone booth at night, which could easily arouse others' suspicion. The traffic of people during the day is very large, so it is relatively safer.
At 9 a.m. the next morning, Ning Wen found a telephone booth at the entrance of the mall, where people were calling at any time, and there were queues outside the telephone booth from time to time to time to make calls.
Ning Wen was still very careful. He was also worried that the other party would make arrangements. As long as there was an outside phone call to the Third Air Force, the Japanese Special High School members could lock in the phone booth.
Ning Wen stayed near the telephone booth for a long time and carefully observed the situation around the telephone booth. He did not see any suspicious people, but he thought about it and left.
Ning Wen's care made Makio Yokota very sad. He had been waiting for Ning Wen to call, but there was no news. If this matter was not implemented, he was always uneasy.
Ning Wen thought about it over and over again and decided not to take risks. He didn't want to cause trouble for Gao Jiu. He knew that if he was arrested, Jiu Ye would definitely come to save him. Not only would Jiu Ye be in danger, but it would also waste Jiu Ye's time.
He wrote a letter, found a street beggar, gave him a big ocean, and asked him to send the letter to the guards at the gate of the Third Air Force headquarters.
He hid in the distance and saw the guards accepting the letter, and then turned around and left.
Makio Yokota received a letter, saying that he would ask Makio Yokota to spend 100,000 yuan. If he disagrees today, he would offer a price of 150,000 tomorrow. It would be fine if he didn't give it to you, and he would bear the consequences at his own risk.
Makio Yokota hurriedly discussed with the Chief of Staff, and the two decided not to cause trouble. As we all know, the Air Force has more funds than the Army and the Navy, especially in this era, the Air Force is the pride of heaven. 100,000 oceans are not a large amount for them, and there is no need to cause endless trouble for this little money. The two immediately decided to agree to Gao Jiu's conditions.
Not long after, a Japanese officer walked out of the Third Air Force compound. He stood at the gate and saluted three times in a row towards the street.
This was an agreement, which showed that Yokota Makio agreed to Gao Jiu's conditions. Two special forces members pretended to pass by the door. After seeing this scene, they went back to report to Ning Wen, and Ning Wen immediately sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.
Chapter completed!
