Gao Jiu said, "I'll look at the map first."

Everyone followed Gao Jiu to the huge Ninth War Zone combat map hanging on the wall, stood there quietly, waiting for Gao Jiu to speak.

Gao Jiu searched the relevant process of the Wuhan Battle in his mind, and then carefully observed the relevant place names on the map for a while, then picked up the baton, pointed to a location in the northern section of the Dabie Mountains and said, "Please look here everyone."

Following Gao Jiu's baton, everyone saw the inconspicuous location: Xiaojieling.

The Xiaojieling defense line is the last stable defense line to block the Japanese army on the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains. If it is broken through, the Japanese army will cross the Dabie Mountains and advance smoothly along the highway. The army will have no favorable terrain to rely on to block the Japanese army. The course of the battle in Wuhan in history was due to the loss of the Xiaojieling defense line, which eventually led to the loss of Wuhan.

The commanders of the Ninth War Zone were very familiar with the terrain conditions in their jurisdiction. They also thought that Gao Jiu's judgment was correct. When Gao Jiu said what they thought, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because in this area they had set up three armies, the 30th Army, the 42nd Army and the 70th Army to defend.

Deputy Si Ling Zhang said with relief: "As expected, the focus of the Japanese attack was the Xiaojieling defense line."

The Operations Director said: "Fortunately, we have already made arrangements in advance, so I feel at ease now."

Others were also talking, and the atmosphere in the war room became very relaxed.

Gao Jiu knew that everyone was optimistic a little early. He asked, "What are the Japanese troops north of Wanjialing?"

The Operations Director said: "It is the Japanese Imamura Detachment and the 16th Division."

Gao Jiu said: "Where is the 13th Division of the Japanese Army?"

The Operations Director said: "According to the intelligence, the 13th Japanese Division should now be in the Anzhai area."

Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "This information may not be accurate. If I expected it, the 13th Division of the Japanese army is now following the 16th Division. They will soon attack Yejiaji and the mall."

Yejiaji and Mall are the last two battle fulcrums in front of Xiaojieling’s defense line.

"This is impossible." Deputy Chief of Staff Li, who is in charge of managing intelligence, immediately said: "Anzhai is 800 kilometers away from the Xiaojieling defense line. They were still in Anzhai last week, so it was impossible for them to appear in the mall."

Although Deputy Chief of Staff Li said this, Deputy Si Ling Zhang immediately became nervous because he believed Gao Jiu. The facts of the past have proved that what Gao Jiu said was correct.

He immediately said to Deputy Chief of Staff Li: "You should immediately ask the Intelligence Department to investigate this matter."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li saw that Deputy Si Ling of Zhang did not believe him. In front of so many commanders in the Ninth War Zone, there were so many combat staff in the combat room, especially Deputy Director Wang from the Military Commission's attendant room. He felt that he had been slapped in the face. He said dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Si Ling of Zhang has no need for this. The intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Service have dedicated personnel to monitor the Japanese military brigade and above. It is impossible for the 13th Division to have such a large-scale army mobilization, which is impossible to escape their eyes."

Deputy Si Ling Zhang was a little anxious, and he said, "If you ask you to go, go quickly, what are you talking about?"

The deputy chief of staff of the theater was also a general at the level of the corps. The dignified lieutenant general of the army was a little bit out of Taiwan by Deputy Si Ling's scolding. He said dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Si Ling Zhang, the intelligence department I am in charge is diligent in his work and never dares to slack off at all. The movements of the Japanese army are subject to monitoring, so it is impossible for such a big omission to occur.

Mr. Gao has been in Taohua Mountain for a while. He has just arrived in Wuhan. His intelligence is probably just speculation. We cannot decide the adjustment of our army's combat deployment based on such speculation out of thin air, right?"

Although the Chief of Staff also believed in Gao Jiu, he lived with Deputy Chief of Staff Li day and night, and he also believed that what Deputy Chief of Staff Li said was reasonable. However, Deputy Si Ling Zhang was the chief after all, and he couldn't contradict this immediate boss.

He smoothed out and said, "Deputy Chief of Staff Li, since Mr. Gao Jiugao has such a speculation, you can send someone to check it. Even if Mr. Gao's speculation is inaccurate, it can relieve everyone's doubts. If something is true, we can be prepared for any trouble."

When Deputy Chief of Staff saw that the Chief of Staff gave him a step, he stepped aside and said, "Okay. I'll go and ask the intelligence to investigate it again. However, I still believe in the relevant information of the Intelligence Department."

He spoke as he walked out. Before he could reach the door of the war room, he heard a lieutenant colonel staff officer from the combat office shouting: "What did you say? Say it again."

He was answering the phone, and he was talking loudly and nervously, and seemed to have heard some urgent news.

Everyone looked at him, not knowing what was going on, and even Deputy Chief of Staff Li stopped.

Soon the combat staff put down the phone and saw that the commanders were looking at him, he walked over quickly and shouted to Deputy Si Ling Zhang: "Report to Commander Si Ling, report to the 30th Army, the 13th Division of the Japanese Army appeared in the mall, and the vanguard had already exchanged fire with the 30th Army."

"What?" Everyone was shocked and felt the seriousness of the situation.

Deputy Chief of Staff Li was a little disbelief. He grabbed the phone and called the 30th Army, asking about the relevant situation in person. After putting down the phone, he said awkwardly: "I'm really sorry, this is my dereliction of duty."

Then, he said to Gao Jiu: "Mr. Gao, thank you for your information. I apologize to you for what I just said."

Gao Jiu smiled faintly and said, "This is nothing. The Japanese army is good at hiding the world. When I was in southwestern Shandong, I was deceived by the Japanese 128th Brigade."

Gao Jiu has a very high emotional intelligence. His self-deprecating words have resolved everyone's embarrassment well. Even Deputy Chief of Staff Li's favorability towards Gao Jiu instantly increased a lot.

Next, Deputy Si Ling and others asked Gao Jiu some questions. Gao Jiu also said some suggestions about the battle based on his own situation. As for how to adjust the combat deployment, since it was in the ninth war zone, he was unwilling to get involved and quickly offered to say goodbye.

Deputy Si Ling and others originally wanted to host a banquet for Gao Jiu, but they knew that Gao Jiu was very busy now, so they did not try to keep him. Everyone kept sending him to the gate of the Si Order. When Gao Jiu was about to get on the bus, Deputy Chief of Staff Li stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gao, I am very embarrassed about what happened today, brother. I hope that when you have free time, I will be the organizer to apologize to you. Please be sure to come at that time."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "You are so polite, Chief Li. When you finish your work, I will hold a banquet to invite you to come and have a gathering."

Deputy Chief of Staff Li became even happier when he saw Gao Jiu giving him face. He personally opened the door for Gao Jiu and sent Gao Jiu into the car.

Everyone watched Gao Jiu leave, then turned around and walked into the office building.

The Chief of Staff said with emotion: "Mr. Gao, both his talent and his style of conduct are admirable. He is so young that he really doesn't know how to cultivate such talents and cultivation. It's really awesome for young people!"

Deputy Si Ling Zhang did not speak, and he felt deeply moved. He used to have a lot of opinions about Gao Jiu because of his son, but now, he admires Gao Jiu very much, which is naturally impressed by Gao Jiu's talent and character.

He thought that it would be a gratifying thing if his son Zhang Keming could catch up with Gao Jiu's half. Unfortunately, there was no hope for this matter, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Shortly after Gao Jiu and others left the Ninth War Zone Headquarters, they saw a car with a license plate in the Fifth War Zone parked on the side of the road ahead. There was a charming female soldier standing in front of the car, which was Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu parked the car in front of her. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Director Feng of the Military Intelligence Department walking down in the car behind Lin Yanni.

It turned out that there were also many things in the Fifth War Zone that were eager to ask Gao Jiu for advice. Director Feng was worried that Lin Yanni and Gao Jiu would inevitably be intimate for a while when they met. Under the urging of the superiors, he couldn't wait, so he followed Lin Yanni.

Gao Jiu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said to Director Feng: "Director Feng, no matter how busy you are, you have to let me have a taste of it, right?"

Gao Jiu had been on the plane for such a long time and had been delaying for so long in the Ninth War Zone, and he was really hungry.

Lin Yanni felt distressed when she heard Gao Jiu say this, and she wanted to go and enjoy a big meal with Gao Jiu immediately. However, after all, she is a soldier and Director Feng is here again, so she had to say, "Brother Jiu, hold on for a while. After finishing the work, I will accompany you to enjoy the food."

Lin Yanni seized the time to get stuck with Gao Jiu for a while, so she got into Gao Jiu's car and sat next to Gao Jiu.

On the way to the Fifth War Zone, Lin Yanni wanted to say something intimate to Gao Jiu. Unfortunately, there were Jia Liu and Li Xiaoshan, the passenger seated in the front. In order to keep her modesty, she had to quietly hold Gao Jiu's arm, and her beautiful big eyes looked at Gao Jiu affectionately, and kept firing.

At the Fifth War Zone Command, Gao Jiu stayed for more than an hour, and finally fulfilled the wish of the Chief of Staff and others, and then said goodbye and left.

Lin Yanni had already driven her car to the theater headquarters. Jia Liu and Li Xiaoshan drove back to the hotel. Lin Yanni was finally able to be with Gao Jiu alone.

As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed. The two had already confirmed their relationship before leaving Wuhan. After this period of separation, they naturally had a fire and fire. The two couldn't wait. Shortly after leaving the gate of the Fifth War Zone Command, they stopped the car on a relatively remote corner and had a good time intimate.

After a long time, the satisfied Lin Yanni sorted out her somewhat messy hair and said to Gao Jiu: "Brother Jiu, what do you want to eat?"

After all this trouble, Gao Jiu became even hungry. He said, "You are the landlord, please make arrangements."

The two drove forward and Gao Jiu asked, "Uncle Lin asked me to come to Wuhan, is it your idea?"

Lin Yanni said, "Yes, not right. Director Feng asked me to send you a telegram and urge you to come to Wuhan. My father said he had a very important thing to ask for your help, so I sent you a telegram."

Gao Jiu asked, "What the hell is Uncle Lin looking for me?"

Lin Yanni shook her head and said, "He refused to tell me. However, he said it was a very important thing. I asked at that time whether it was a good thing or a bad thing? My father said it must be a good thing. It was very difficult, but if it was done, he would definitely not treat you badly."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "I said, if my father-in-law has good things, he will definitely think of me, otherwise how could he be my father-in-law?"

Lin Yanni blushed and gave Gao Jiu a blank look. She said, "You are not ashamed. Who is your father-in-law?"

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It turns out that Uncle Lin is not my father-in-law, so I have to invite someone else to be my father-in-law."

Lin Yanni looked at Gao Jiu, reached out to twist her arm and said softly, "You dare!"

At this moment, Lin Yanni's eyes were as charming as silk, her blushing face was like blooming peach blossoms, Gao Jiu couldn't help but get impulsive again. He reached out and took her head, and kissed her cherry lips hard.

At this time, Gao Jiu was driving. After this action, the car started to twist on the road. Fortunately, there were not many vehicles and pedestrians on the road, otherwise something would have happened.

"Be careful!" Lin Yanni screamed in surprise.

Gao Jiu turned the steering wheel hard to avoid hitting a pedestrian.

Gao Jiu had never been so impulsive before. After seeing Lin Yanni in Wuhan this time, he seemed to be a little unable to control himself. In fact, it is no wonder that Gao Jiu was just a young man in his twenties after all. Since he came to this era, he has been in a highly nervous state, and it is normal to relax properly.

"A young man is not romantic." Gao Jiu comforted himself with self-deprecating.

Gao Jiu planned to do nothing today, so he enjoyed the world of two people with Lin Yanni, so they had dinner and watched a movie, and then Gao Jiu sent Lin Yanni home.

Gao Jiu returned to the hotel, washed his face and was about to go to bed, when the phone rang in the room, which was called by Lin Yanni. She said that after she returned home, her mother Huang Peishan told her that Wang Xilin's wife from the Military Commission had arrived and had sent a lot of gifts. The Military Commission's attendant room also called, hoping that Gao Jiu would take the time to go to the black room.

Gao Jiu felt that he was still sensible in the Military Commission. They did want to invite Gao Jiu to do things, but the other person's actions made Gao Jiu feel comfortable. The intellectuals in the Black Room were not smooth enough, so they asked the Military Commission to come forward to suppress Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu was not very happy.

He decided to take the time to see the military commander first. As for the matter of the black room, he was really too lazy to care about it. Those things were too troublesome and too time-consuming. He had a lot of things to do when he came to Wuhan and had no time to waste time there.
