On the way to the march, Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi were in a depressed mood. They were silent and just kept rushing to the road.

Finally, Wang Shuanzi couldn't help but say, "Commander, I want to rescue Master Jiu."

Cui Zhenshan thought so long ago, and he said without hesitation: "You take two battalions and be sure to pick up Jiu Ye and the others."

Wang Shuanzi didn't say anything, and immediately ran to the side of the road and shouted loudly: "First Battalion and Two Battalion, come with me." After that, he led the team straight to Cang County.

Jiang Xiaomei has been paying attention to Gao Jiu's situation. She knew that Gao Jiu and others were about to launch a breakthrough operation tonight, and would send a telegram to Gao Jiu every once in a while.

The underground party asked Gao Jiu to stick to it for another 24 hours. Gao Jiu specifically told Jia Liu not to tell Jiang Xiaomei about this situation.

Jia Liu had never disobeyed Gao Jiu's orders. However, today the situation was so critical that Jia Liu could not help but send the situation to Jiang Xiaomei.

When Jiang Xiaomei heard this, she became anxious. She asked Yang Jiong to report to Gao Hong. She led the cavalry company straight to Cang County.

Gao Hong was anxious when he heard this and asked Yang Jiong to stay and report to his subordinates of the underground party. He also set off with Jiang Xiaomei.

Yang Jiong reported this situation to the Shandong Military Region. The leader of the Shandong Military Region could not sit still when he heard this, so he immediately sent the only cavalry battalion of the military region to follow Yang Jiong to pick up Gao Jiu.

While marching, Jiang Xiaomei and others contacted Gao Jiu on the radio.

Outside Cang County.

In a small wood, Tianchuan and others were waiting anxiously, and it had already reached the back of the besieged enemy troops.

Finally, Tian Chuan saw the tunnel dug through, Huang Wei and others came out. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Master Jiu?"

Huang Wei said, "Jiu Master is still behind." Tian Chuan was anxious to see Gao Jiu, but the people inside kept coming out, and he couldn't get through at all.

Tian Chuan's mind was very calm. He asked everyone to remain silent and not make any sounds, so that Ning Wen and Ning Wu could replenish the seized weapons and ammunition to everyone.

Gao Jiu thought about it over and over again and finally figured it out. He arranged for Jiang Jing, the father and son of the Jiang family to leave first, and then arranged for Zheng Sanpao's men to leave with him. He left the original special forces in Taohua Mountain in the city, narrowed the defense scope again, and controlled only the courtyard where the tunnel entrance was located and the surrounding yards, so that they could keep the radio on duty and wait for his retreat order at any time.

Then, Gao Jiu also got out of the tunnel.

When Tianchuan saw Gao Jiu crawling out of the tunnel, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Master Jiu, you are out."

Gao Jiu had no time to greet him and immediately asked him to introduce the situation of the enemy troops outside the city.

After Gao Jiu figured out the situation, he called Tian Chuan, Jiang Jing, Jiang family father and son, Zheng Sanpao and others together and said to them: "All of you continue to lurk in this woods, protect the tunnel exit, and prepare to pick up the people in the city to evacuate. Those who stay in the woods must obey Tian Chuan's command."

He instructed Tian Chuan to contact Wang Zhankui and asked Wang Zhankui to come and answer.

After saying that, he took Jia Liu, Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Li Xiaoshan to put on the Japanese uniforms and walked out of the woods.

According to the information provided by Tianchuan, Gao Jiu and others first came to a camp of the puppet army. It was still a distance away from the division headquarters of the 7th Division of the Peace Army, and Gao Jiu and others first had to get a few horses.

This time, Gao Jiu and others suffered a great loss in the battle to defend Cang County. Not only did they sacrifice many guerrillas, many special forces members. The more than 600 horses they brought were all left in the city and were seized by the Japanese and puppet troops.

The highest commander of the puppet army here was a battalion commander. When he saw Gao Jiu and others, he hurriedly came out.

Gao Jiu was wearing the military uniform of a Japanese grandson, and he asked the puppet battalion commander to provide them with some horses. In order not to arouse suspicion of the puppet army, they asked them to send cavalry to escort them to the division headquarters of the 7th Division of the Peace Army.

The Peace Army battalion only had battalion commanders, deputy battalion commanders and adjutants, and the cavalry communication squads under their command. They gave up all their horses and asked the cavalry communication squads to escort Gao Jiu and others to the 7th Division headquarters.

On a small high slope northeast of the city, there are several tents. This is the temporary command post of the 7th Division of the Peace Army.

In the largest tent, the chief of staff and several staff officers were on duty. The sentry came in and reported that the Japanese division headquarters had sent a major officer and had important information to inform them.

Gao Jiu and others were surrounded in the city. The Chief of Staff never dreamed that Gao Jiu and others had already left the city, and there were only a few people coming. The Chief of Staff could not have anyone dared to impersonate the Japanese army to come to their division headquarters. He had no doubt at all, so he asked the soldiers to take Gao Jiu and others into the tent.

The first feeling when the Chief of Staff saw Gao Jiu was that this Japanese devil was a bit tall and relatively rare among the Japanese. Moreover, this Japanese major was a little young and showed a majestic momentum. This momentum was different from the arrogance of the Japanese army that he had seen in the past, and it was a natural noble temperament.

The Chief of Staff believed that this person must have been of extraordinary origin. There were many noble children in the Japanese army, even royal children. For example, Prince Asahigata, the Chief of Staff had met several such people.

He did not dare to be negligent, and came forward with a smile on his face, and asked respectfully, "May I ask the name of Taijun?"

Gao Jiu did not answer his question, and asked in a slightly dull Chinese: "Where is your teacher? Call him here, I have important orders to convey to him."

The devils were used to being arrogant, and the chief of staff was used to it, and immediately said to the adjutant of the division headquarters standing aside: "You go and invite the division commander over."

Gao Wenchang, the commander of the 7th Division of the Peace Army, was in a compartment in this tent, and the outside speech had already alarmed him. He did not take off his clothes and sleep, and was lying on the camp bed in his shirt. He put on his military coat and walked out.

At this time, the tent included the division commander Gao Wenchang, the chief of staff, the division adjutant and three on-duty staff officers. Two sentries stood at the door of the tent.

Gao Jiu frowned and said to the division commander and the chief of staff: "You two come in with me, I have the order from the division commander to convey to you alone." After that, he walked towards the tent where the division commander was sleeping.

This was the barracks of the puppet army, and there were thousands of peace troops outside. Although the division commander and chief of staff were a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of the little major, they did not doubt his identity and followed him in.

After entering the tent, Gao Jiu took the lead and said to Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff: "Please sit."

After Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff sat down, they were about to ask about the origin of the Japanese Grandmaster when they saw the Japanese Grandmaster take out the turtle box and point it at them.

Gao Jiu said, "Please don't speak out."

Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff were startled. Their instinctive reaction was to call for people. However, after all, they were senior officers who had been experienced in battle. They quickly judged the situation and decided to obey Gao Jiu's orders and remained silent.

Gao Jiu said: "I am Gao Jiu from Taohua Mountain. I come here today and I will discuss important matters with you."

"Gaojiu, Taohua Mountain."

Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff were even more nervous at this time than when they saw the gun pointing at them.

The Chief of Staff couldn't help asking, "Aren't you surrounded by the city?"

Gao Jiu smiled faintly and said, "Can the small Cangxian county still trap me?"

Gao Jiu's reputation is so loud. The stories circulating among the people are constantly being added to the fire. Gao Jiu has become the incarnation of a god. Although Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff do not know how Gao Jiu left the city, the iron facts are in front of him, and the two completely gave up the idea of ​​resistance.

Gao Wenchang asked: "Hero Gao, please tell me if you have anything."

At this time, Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff were both equipped with guns, but Gao Jiu did not drop their guns, but instead put away his guns. Gao Jiu's high confidence showed made Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff not dare to act rashly.

Gao Jiu said: "May I ask the two officials who have the surnames and names?"

"I am Gao Wenchang."

"I am Wang Yunliang."

The division commander and the chief of staff reported their names respectively.

Gao Jiu said, "Two officials, I won't tell you the truth anymore. The Japanese are all beasts, burning, killing, looting, insulting women, and doing all kinds of evil. We are all Chinese, and we cannot follow the Japanese to be traitors, which will make people thrust the backbone.

The devils do not regard the Chinese as human beings. They not only oppress innocent people, but also have a much deeper understanding of what kind of attitude they have towards you, the Peace Army."

As the commander of the division, Gao Wenchang was rank of major general, and the Japanese did not take him seriously at all. Even a small lieutenant dared to point fingers at him. This time, the Peace Army was forced to be cannon fodder. There were more than 200 officers and soldiers who died under the Japanese Supervisor Team. Gao Wenchang had long been filled with anger.

Hearing this, both of them looked ugly, both ashamed, angry, and helpless.

Gao Wenchang sighed and shook his head.

Gao Jiu said, "I hate those traitors who are accomplices of tigers the most. Now, I give you two choices. First, follow me to fight the Japanese, and our support troops have arrived from all directions. Although the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is strong, I don't take it seriously. If you can follow me to fight the Japanese, you don't have to worry about your future prospects. Whether you are seeking the government or the underground party, I can guarantee that your past affairs will not be investigated and your current status can be preserved."

Speaking of this, Gao Jiu took out 200,000 oceans and placed them on the coffee table in front of him.

Gao Jiu continued: "The second choice is that you will continue to work hard with the Japanese. I will now sentence you two to death on behalf of the people.

If you choose the first one, take these oceans. If you choose the second one, I will send you on the way now."

Gao Jiu said he gave them two choices. In fact, Gao Wenchang and Wang Yunliang had no choice at all. The two looked at each other, without saying a word, each of them received 100,000 oceans and said, "We are willing to follow Mr. Gao to fight against Japan."

Gao Jiumei smiled and said to the two of them: "I just said that Commander Gao and Chief of Staff Wang are worthy of being Chinese. They have the blood of Chinese people and will not follow the Japanese in the same way as the Japanese."

Speaking of this, Gao Jiu said lightly: "Two lords, you are all dignified seven-foot men. I believe you can keep your word. Let's talk about the ugly things. If you regret it, think about Shimada and Ayumi Hamasaki who massacred innocent people, and Prince Asakaguchi of Japan."

The incidents of Ayumi Hamasaki and Shimada caused a sensation in the world at that time, and Gao Wenchang and Wang Yunliang, as senior officers, could not be unclear about the affairs of Prince Asaka Palace. They understood that if Gao Jiu was targeted, there would be no place for them to live in the world.

At this point, the two of them had no choice but to follow Gao Jiu wholeheartedly.

Gao Wenchang and Wang Yunliang solemnly swore to Gao Jiu that from now on, they would join Gao Jiu in fighting against Japan and fighting the Japanese.

Next, Gao Wenchang ordered all officers above the Seventh Division of the Peace Army to meet at the command center.

Gao Jiu personally did the work of everyone, and took a notebook to register the origins of the people attending the meeting, and said all the good and bad things in front of them. Seeing that the division commander and the chief of staff had surrendered to Gao Jiu, everyone was also dissatisfied with the Japanese, so they decided to rebel against the Japanese.

It was already 5:50 at this time, but fortunately it was cloudy and the sky was still very dark. At 6:10, Wang Zhankui brought his cavalry into the division headquarters of the 7th Division. Ten minutes later, Tian Chuan and others also rushed to the division headquarters of the 7th Division.

At 6:45, Gao Jiu commanded the troops of the 7th Division of the Peace Army, and took Wang Zhankui's Taohuashan guerrillas as the pioneer to directly attack the division headquarters of the 132nd Division of the Japanese Army.

The division headquarters of the 132nd Division of the Japanese army was also set up in the east of the city, only three miles away from the division headquarters of the 7th Division. At this time, the main forces of the Japanese army were scattered around the county town, and most of the troops were in the county town. Only the direct team, the artillery corps and an infantry brigade remained near the division headquarters.

The Japanese army's combat progress was quite smooth, and Gao Jiu and others were besieged in a small area of ​​the county town. The division commander of the 132nd Division was full of confidence and a little excited. He couldn't sleep for the middle of the night and did not fall asleep in a daze until 4:30 in the morning.

Suddenly, hundreds of mortar shells flew over and blew the place where the division command was located into a sea of ​​fire. The division commander of the 132nd Division, the chief of staff and others were killed immediately.

The reason why the artillery soldiers of the Taohuashan Guerrillas and the 7th Division of the Peace Army fought so accurately was that Gao Wenchang and the Chief of Staff had visited the Japanese command center many times, and could provide accurate positions. In addition, Gao Jiu, who was in a defiant manner, was difficult to not be able to attack accurately.

In order to destroy the Japanese command system in one fell swoop, Gao Jiu commanded the artillery of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas and the 7th Division of the Peace Army to fire hundreds of artillery shells in one breath.

After shelling the Japanese division command center, Gao Jiu commanded the artillery and bombarded other Japanese troops.

The Taohuashan guerrillas under Wang Zhankui had strong firepower and strong combat power. The first thing they attacked was the Japanese infantry brigade. The Japanese army, who were neglecting to defend, was no match for the Japanese army at all, and soon broke through the Japanese defense line.

Under Gao Jiu's guidance, the officers and soldiers of the Peace Army concentrated all their machine guns in front of the team. Under the cover of powerful firepower, thousands of officers and soldiers shouted and rushed towards the Japanese division headquarters and artillery corps.

Under the fierce attack of Taohuashan guerrillas and the Peace Army officers and soldiers, more than 2,000 people of the command center of the 132nd Division of the Japanese Army, the division directly under the division, the artillery corps, and the guard forces were all wiped out, and most of the artillery of the 132nd Division were seized.

They then launched an attack on the Japanese army in other directions.

The sudden attack caught the Japanese army off guard, and the Japanese army in the south of the city was soon defeated by the Anti-Japanese Army, and then the Anti-Japanese Army swept the northwest direction of the city.

It has to be said that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is still very strong. After a Japanese corps leader had to contact them by telegram after he had called the division headquarters, he still had no reply. He knew that something had happened to the division headquarters.

So, the corps captain volunteered to take over the command of the division headquarters. He was unable to understand the enemy's situation for a while. In order to protect himself, he sent someone to notify the Japanese troops stationed in the west and north of the city to enter the county town for defense, and then make a decision after clarifying the situation.
