Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Vicious Cases
The Japanese army's independent mixed 7th Brigade was stationed in Pingdingshan County. The brigade headquarters was surrounded by ordinary people's residences. If Gao Jiu and others threw the bomb down, they would hurt innocent people. Therefore, Gao Jiu and others planned to bomb a Japanese warehouse outside the city.
When we flew to the outskirts of Pingdingshan County, we accidentally found a Japanese army unit was practicing in the field, and an infantry brigade was doing exercises on the playground.
Seeing this situation, Gao Jiu temporarily changed the target of the bombing and flew towards the Japanese troops in the bomber.
The Japanese officers and soldiers did not realize that the bomber was the enemy. They just looked up at the plane in the air and continued to practice.
When the bomber flew over, some Japanese officers and soldiers waved to the planes in the sky.
Gao Jiu's bomber threw a bomb downwards, and the bomber behind threw two bombs.
Three bombs fell into the crowd, and the strong shock waves generated by the bomb explosion swept all the Japanese troops on the ground to the ground, causing more than 500 casualties from the Japanese troops.
Gao Jiu refused to give up and flew to the Japanese warehouse in a bomber and razed the warehouse to the ground.
Wang Jindong, Wang Zhankui and others were all excited.
Zheng Sanpao said: "Master Jiu, I think this bomb is a bit too small. Can you make a few bigger ones?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "That's enough. The window size of the bomb is limited. The bomb is too big and cannot be thrown out. Besides, it's so heavy, how can I install it on the plane?"
Zheng Sanpao was an amateur, scratching his head and laughing. He said, "I can't fit the plane, can't we tie it outside the plane?"
Wang Jindong was very interested in the power of the bomber. He said: "Brother Gao, we also have an airport in Nanyang. Can you find a way to grab a batch of planes and let our Nanyang area have an air force, so that our strength will be greatly enhanced.
Don't worry, our brothers settle the score clearly. If you get the plane back, our 41st Army will also pay for it, which will ensure that it will be more than the aviation committee will pay."
After returning to Nanyang City, Jiang Xiaomei heard about the effect of the bombing. She complained: "Brother Jiu, only you have planes in Taohua Mountain, and we have also built an airport there. Can you get a few planes for you?"
Gao Hong, Yang Jiong and others were also looking forward to it and agreed with Jiang Xiaomei's opinion.
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Now there are no planes in the Henan territory. Where can we take them away?"
Jiang Xiaomei said, "Henan is gone, we still have it in Shandong, Hebei and Anhui. I don't care, you have it anyway, you have to get me a few planes back."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "If I rob you of the plane, will you give me money? Besides, you don't have a pilot. You have a simple airport, and temporary take-off and landing planes are OK, but it is not an easy task to maintain the air force. You need to have a command system, ground staff, and reserve aviation fuel and other supplies. I think it's better to forget it."
When Gao Hong heard this, he hurriedly said, "Master Jiu, you really got a plane and we will pay for it. As for the other things you mentioned, we will slowly find a way."
Speaking of this, he said to Jiang Xiaomei: "Brave Commander Jiang, you have been bragging, saying that no matter what you want, your ninth brother will give it to you. It seems that you don't have such a big face!"
When Jiang Xiaomei heard this, she stopped doing it and said coquettishly: "Brother Jiu, I want a plane. You have to help me train pilots. Is it okay? Give me some good words."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Okay. My girl spoke, that's OK."
Everyone laughed.
After this attack, the command of the Japanese 107th Division was destroyed and it was unable to be dispatched for a while.
The Japanese Independence Seventh Mixed Brigade now knew that Gao Jiu was not just talking, so he also sent someone to deliver 30,000 oceans to Gao Jiu, saying that they would not attack Nanyang anymore.
The Japanese commander who was responsible for commanding the Japanese and puppet troops in Henan and launched the security war in North China was Lieutenant General Nakaoyuki, the chief of staff of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army. He was very angry when he saw that the Japanese and puppet troops in Henan had not gathered in Zhengzhou for a long time and sent a telegram to reprimand the Japanese and puppet troops who were slow to move, and wanted to fly to Zhengzhou in person to command the Japanese and puppet troops to launch an offensive in the direction of Nanyang.
He did not expect that he was going to fly to Zhengzhou by plane. As a result, no one in the Japanese First Air Force and the remnants of the Japanese Second Air Force in Peking were willing to go to Henan. Even if their commander issued a death order, the pilots either pretended to be sick or made other excuses, but they were unwilling to go to Henan.
Lieutenant General Nakaho Hiroshiro, Chief of Staff of North China Expeditionary Army, was very angry and threatened to send the pilots to the military court. Only then did the pilot agree to execute the order. However, they did not dare to fly during the day, and secretly sent Nakaho Hiroshiro to Zhengzhou at night, and immediately flew back to Peking Airport that night.
As soon as Zhongxiongdong arrived in Zhengzhou, on the one hand, he issued an order to quickly assemble to Zhengzhou, and at the same time ordered the commanders of each branch to go to Zhengzhou to hold an operational meeting.
The commanders of various Japanese troops were ordered to come to Zhengzhou. Zhongxiong Dongyi rebuked them one by one and asked why they were unable to assemble the troops to the direction of Zhengzhou according to the plan.
The commanders of various Japanese and puppet troops found various reasons, which showed that it was very difficult for them to assemble to Zhengzhou. Their attitude was very clear. Not only did they not come to Zhengzhou now, but they couldn't say when they could come.
The first person to ask about the brigade commander of the Japanese Independent Mixed Seventh Brigade. At the beginning, the brigade commander felt very stressed, worried that his own troops would not be able to arrive in Zhengzhou on time, and he would be punished for this.
When he heard that the commanders of each unit were like him and found various reasons not to execute the orders, he felt at ease.
The commanders of the Japanese and puppet army were tacitly aware of each other. Anyway, the law does not punish the public. You, Zhongxiong, will do whatever you like.
When Nakaho Dong saw this situation, he felt very sad. He felt very sad that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness had dropped to such a level. He knew that the combat plan to attack Nanyang had been ruined. So he reported to the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army.
The commander of the North China Expeditionary Army has now figured out that Nanyang area, southwestern Shandong area and Taohua Mountain in Gaojiu are a trinity-integrated iron triangle. The Japanese army in Shandong direction dare not provoke them, and the Japanese army in Henan direction dare not attack this area. After careful thinking, he decided to give up the original combat plan and let the Japanese army in Henan direction give up attacking the Nanyang area and turn to launch a security war in North China against other regions.
When the commanders of the Japanese and puppet army saw that they didn't have to fight Gao Jiu, everyone felt relieved and passed this information to Gao Jiu through various channels.
The Iron Triangle area is temporarily safe, and Gao Jiu informed the situation to the 41st Army, Gao Hong and others.
The generals of the 41st Army were already mentally prepared to fight against the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the Japanese army gave up their attack on the Nanyang area, and everyone was very happy.
Commander Wang sincerely praised: "Brother Gao is so powerful. You can get 100,000 soldiers by one."
The Iron Triangle area is safe, but the underground party in North China, under the attack of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army suffered a lot of casualties and the base area was seriously damaged.
That night, Gao Hong, Chen Johan, Jiang Xiaomei and Yang Jiong came to find Gao Jiu and said that they wanted to support the main battles of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong.
Gao Jiu finally made the Iron Triangle safe temporarily. He didn't want to provoke the Japanese army anymore. What's more, the Independent Brigade of the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district has dispatched two regiments and joined the battle in the main direction of the Eighth Route Army. It would be a bit unreasonable to send troops from the Iron Triangle.
However, Gao Jiu still supported the fight against the Japanese. After thinking about it, he said, "I will not go to send troops to support the Eighth Route Army. We can support the Eighth Route Army in materials and other aspects."
Gao Jiu flew to Chongqing in person. He was very law-abiding and paid money to purchase 20,000 anti-Japanese drugs and 30,000 oceans of other medicines from the pharmaceutical factory, and transported them to Zhiyuan County. He took out 20,000 oceans and handed them over to Gao Hong and others.
The Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district reported Gao Jiu's intentions to his superiors.
The superior party organization of the underground party expressed gratitude to Gao Jiu. They asked the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district to send the batch of medicines to Binhai County as soon as possible, and at the same time asked the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district to provide 200,000 kilograms of grain.
200,000 kilograms of grain are not difficult to solve for the southwestern Shandong region. However, it is very difficult to pass through the enemy-occupied areas and transport them to the superior organs of the Eighth Route Army.
After research, the Southwest Shandong Military Sub-district believed that they could not complete this task. So Jiang Xiaomei found Gao Jiu again and asked him to help deliver the supplies to the higher authorities of the Eighth Route Army.
This matter is not difficult for Gao Jiu. He just wanted to take this opportunity to consolidate the interests he established among the Japanese and puppet troops.
Gao Jiu personally sent a telegram to Makio Yokota, commander of the Japanese Third Air Force, asking him to help transport the medicines. Gao Jiu promised to give them a freight of 5,000 oceans.
This is a matter of collusion with the enemy. From the bottom of his heart, Makio Yokota was unwilling to do so. However, the outcome of the Second Air Force was bloody, and Makio Yokota really didn't have the courage to not give Gao Jiu this face.
After discussing with the Chief of Staff, Makio Yokota quickly agreed and they also put forward a condition that they did not have the shipping fee and hoped that Gao Jiu could leave him 3,000 anti-Japanese medicines. Gao Jiu also agreed without hesitation.
Binhai County.
That morning, four Japanese bombers flew to Binhai County. They dropped a batch of bombs on an empty hillside, then threw down a batch of parachutes from the sky, and then returned to Jinan Airport.
The Eighth Route Army troops on the ground have received the notice in advance and have obtained this batch of medicines.
The next question is about food.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Zhao Wannian, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Public Security Army, and Wei Liming, the commander of the 4th Division, asking them to help each solve 100,000 kilograms of grain. Gao Jiu bought the 100,000 kilograms of grain at a price of 20 kilograms of grain, which could make the 3rd Division and the 4th Division earn a little money, and pay an additional 5,000 kilograms of grain to each of the two divisions.
The two divisions of the Public Security Army purchased 100,000 kilograms of grain from the areas they controlled. According to Gao Jiu's prior arrangement, the batch of grain was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army who was ambushed in advance. The two sides fired guns at the sky and pretended to exchange fire, and the Public Security Army troops evacuated. In this way, the 200,000 kilograms of grain were completed.
With this batch of oceans, the support of food and medicine greatly alleviated the difficulties of the Eighth Route Army.
So far, Gao Jiu protected the Iron Triangle area for the Japanese military's security war, and provided support to the Eighth Route Army within his ability. He wanted to have a good rest, so he returned to Taohua Mountain.
Unfortunately, the Japanese devils did not let him stay idle.
Gao Jiu once issued a clear telegram warning the Japanese army in North China not to massacre innocent people when fighting. Since the Japanese and puppet troops in Shandong and Henan have reached a tacit understanding with Gao Jiu, they are still paying more attention to this aspect, and no vicious incidents of massacre of the people have occurred.
The Japanese and puppet troops in Hebei felt that Gao Jiu was too far away and regarded Gao Jiu's words as a warning. A vicious incident of massacre of the people occurred in the central Hebei region.
The Japanese army's independent mixed brigade, Yamamoto Squadron of Watanabe's brigade, entered a village called Meizhuang under the pretext of searching the Eighth Route Army in Mancheng area. Some Japanese soldiers intended to rape women in the village, but were resisted by the villagers and killed a Japanese soldier on the spot.
As a result, the Japanese army was so angry that they started killing in the village, massacred more than 90 innocent people, and set fire to the village.
The Eighth Route Army informed Gao Jiu of this news through the underground party organization.
Gao Jiu was furious and immediately sent a clear telegram.
The telegram revealed the tragedy caused by the Japanese army in Meizhuang Village. Gao Jiu asked the Japanese army to independently form the brigade commander of the second brigade, the Watanabe brigade commander, and all the Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the massacre of innocent people in Yamamoto's squadron who committed suicide by cutting off their caesarean section. Otherwise, they would be more severe punishments awaiting them.
Gao Jiu knew that the Japanese invaders would not submit easily, and they felt that they would be lucky when they were far away from Taohua Mountain. So Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Du Shengxi, and Zheng Sanpao led 400 Taohua Mountain guerrillas to leave Taohua Mountain and headed to the central Hebei region.
Gao Jiu's clear telegram once again caused a sensation across the country. Even the international community is very concerned about this matter. Everyone wants to see what the final result is.
This matter concerns the face and morale between the Japanese army and the anti-Japanese armed forces.
Various newspapers and magazines in the rear were reported first, and many international media also reported related reports. This incident, just like the massacre of the people of Hamasaki Ayumi and Shimada back then, posed a big problem for the Japanese North China Expeditionary Force.
The Japanese army is the most shameless. If such a thing happened elsewhere, such as the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese army tried every means to cover it up, and they would not care if they could not cover it up.
But they must attach great importance to this matter now. Gao Jiu did what he said and if he couldn't handle it well, it would be a naked slap for the Japanese army.
The Japanese subordinates would not take the initiative to report to their superiors about massacres such as massacre of the people. The brigade commander of the Japanese Independent Second Mixed Brigade only learned about this after seeing the clear telegram from Gao Jiu. He was shocked and almost peeed his pants.
