Qingchuan, the commander of the Fifth Army, has four divisions, an independent mixed brigade, two detachments and its subordinate troops, with a total strength of more than 100,000. If he faces other enemies, he doesn't have to worry about attacking a small city like Ruili. But now facing the terrifying enemy Gao Jiu, he must be careful.

It's no wonder that although he has never fought with Gao Jiu, Gao Jiu's reputation is really too famous. Whether it is the North China Expeditionary Army, the Central China Expedition Army, or the South China Expedition Army, and now, with the French and British, I have never heard of anyone who has taken advantage of Gao Jiu in war.

Although Commander Qingchuan is also a proud and conceited person, he is not arrogant yet and thinks he is smarter than all the people mentioned above. No one can deal with Gao Jiu, and he does not have this confidence either.

Qingchuan thought for a while and said, "It is said that Gao Jiu is a man who is invincible in combat. He uses guerrilla tactics during his combat, so it is difficult to find the rules of his combat. The Fifth Army is a regular army and has no experience in fighting such bandits. Therefore, I can't say whether he can defeat him.

Anyway, Ruili City is not big, so it is better to send the air force to bomb it. It would be better to blow Gao Jiu to death. If you can't blow them away, Ruili will be defeated without attacking them."

He was very smart and didn't want to provoke Gao Jiu himself, so he recommended the Air Force to carry out this mission.

Few people who can become generals are not smart people. When the commander of the Eighth Air Force saw the commander of the Fifth Army being clever, he immediately stopped doing it.

He said to the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army: "Commander, Shu Bei is incompetent. Although Ruili City is not big, I cannot guarantee that Gao Jiu will live in the city. Even if he lives in the city, I cannot guarantee that he will be able to kill him. If he cannot kill him, he will take revenge, our Eighth Air Force will not be able to stop it.

A small Taohua Mountain, Jinan's third airline team has been to several times, but many planes were knocked out. Not only that, Gao Jiu also suffered heavy losses. There are also the first airline team in Peking, the second airline team in Zhengzhou, and the fifth airline team in Rongcheng. I believe everyone knows what the outcome will be.

The worst thing is that the Ninth Air Force in Hanoi was completely destroyed! He was also taken as a hostage by Gao Jiu and blackmailed a large amount of money from the Yellow Army of the Great Japanese, causing an extremely bad impact.

I don't think our eighth air force can complete the task of eliminating Gao Jiu. Strictly speaking, Gao Jiu is the army, and the army should be the army to complete this task."

The commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army saw that the commander of the Fifth Army and the commander of the Eighth Air Force retreated, and he was also a little worried.

Prince Asahiro Gong, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army, was once arrested by Gao Jiu. He didn't want Gao Jiu to touch the headquarters and come here for himself.

He had already backed down in his heart, but he was a dignified Japanese general after all, and he could not show weakness in front of so many subordinates.

So he said to the Chief of Staff: "What do you have any opinions?"

The Chief of Staff has been following the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army for many years. He knows him very well and knows what he means when he asks himself.

The Chief of Staff carefully said, "I think Ruili is located on the China-Myanmar border and has little strategic significance. It is not worth attacking this place. I suggest that we modify the combat plan, give up the goal of Ruili without strategic value, concentrate our troops, and attack directly in the direction of Kunming."

The commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army nodded and said, "The Chief of Staff makes sense. We cannot waste our precious troops in worthless places. You can immediately modify the combat plan and use Kunming as the main offensive target."

Speaking of this, he looked at everyone and asked, "What do you guys have any other opinions?"

When everyone heard that there was no need to provoke Gao Jiu anymore, they immediately felt much more relaxed. Everyone said in unison: "Your Excellency Commander, I admire you."

That morning, Wang Zhankui led a special forces to Lishui Town. They brought a lot of mortars and prepared to hit the Japanese 28th Brigade, giving them a warning first and slamming their morale.

When they arrived at the periphery of Lishui Town, Wang Zhankui called the team leader to make arrangements for them. Everyone carefully formulated a combat plan, and then they came to the edge of Lishui Town.

Who would have thought that after all the people had worked so hard, they found that there was no Japanese soldier in the town.

They sent a special forces member and put on makeup to the common people to investigate. As a result, the common people said that the Japanese evacuated last night.

Wang Zhankui was very depressed and said, "If you don't bring such a person, the Japanese devils who escaped without saying anything in advance, which made me run for nothing. It was really disappointing."

The officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Army Strengthening Corps heard that the Japanese were coming, and they were both excited and nervous. They had not fought with the Japanese yet. They heard that the Japanese were very powerful, and they were inevitably nervous. However, the famous war god Gao Jiu was the one who commanded them to fight. He was an invincible existence. Therefore, everyone was looking forward to the Japanese coming over quickly, and the excitement in their hearts could not be suppressed.

Wang Zhankui and others came back. Everyone thought the Japanese had fought and were ready to start the war.

Who would have thought that the fierce Japanese people actually fled, which made people feel a little frustrated.

The officers and soldiers of the strengthening regiment knew that the Japanese would not come to Ruili again, and they were not only disappointed, but also felt pain. Because the Japanese did not come here, there was no need for their strengthening regiment to stay here. Shangfeng would definitely transfer them to other places.

Now, they eat and drink delicious food here every day. After leaving here, all these treatments are gone, and everyone is really reluctant to let it go.

The officers of the strengthening regiment discussed for a while and gave advice to the regiment commander Sun Kun, asking him to come to find Gao Jiu, hoping that he could take the initiative to attack the Japanese with the strengthening regiment brothers.

Gao Jiu couldn't agree. Now in Ruili, Gao Jiu has a warehouse, construction company, and trading company research institute of the trading company. He doesn't want to provoke the Japanese again. Once someone really blows up Ruili, his losses will be great, so he has to politely decline the requests of the officers and soldiers of the strengthening regiment.

Sure enough, when the King of Yunnan learned that the Japanese army no longer marched from Ruili, he ordered the strengthening regiment to be transferred back to Kunming. The officers and soldiers of the strengthening regiment left Ruili reluctantly, and were so worried that they had a great defeat that they could not be energetic.

Long Guobi was in a bad mood, and she worked very hard to organize a women's field service team and wanted to help him during Gao Jiu's war. Who would have thought that the Japanese devils were so unsuccessful and ran away before they could fight. Her women's field service team had no value, so she had to announce her disbandment.

For several days in a row, she was inexplicably angry, which made Long Yingyuan laugh and cry.

Long Guobi's position is the administrative secretary of a trading company. This young lady has a little temper from time to time. She will go on strike when she loses her temper. Many things Long Yingyuan has to deal with them personally.

Once he joked: "Sister, you are not very competent as a secretary, I am going to fire you."

Long Guobi waved his small fist and said fiercely: "You try to fire me." As she said that, she punched him a few fists, and Long Yingyuan had to give up.

Although Gao Jiu is one of the bosses of the trading company, the trading company is mainly hosted by Long Yingyuan. Gao Jiu rarely comes to the trading company. He is either in the research institute or in the special forces team, and he often goes out. It takes a long time to go out, and it is not easy for Long Guobi to see him.

Long Guobi saw that Gao Jiu had a lot of time in the research institute, so he looked for Long Yingyuan and applied to transfer himself to the research institute to work. Long Yingyuan knew that the women around Gao Jiu did not want his sister to get involved, so he firmly disagreed.

He was afraid that his sister would not listen to his words, so he lied to her and said that he had already told Gao Jiu that Gao Jiu did not agree.

Long Guobi felt very wronged and suppressed her depression for a long time, and finally broke out.

On this day, Long Yingyuan hurried to find Gao Jiu and said that his sister Long Guobi was missing.

Long Guobi was really missing. She didn't say hello and went back to Kunming in anger.

Gao Jiu was anxious when he heard this. Long Guobi returned to Kunming and was likely to encounter Japanese troops on the way. Without saying a word, he took Li Chengwu's special forces team, rode his horse and set off.

Long Guobi was riding in a car. If Gao Jiu took a car to chase her, it would be too late. He had to ride a horse and take a shortcut, hoping to get her back as soon as possible.

Long Guobi took a freight truck from a trading company to Kunming. When she saw Gao Jiu in Ruili, she was upset and decided to stay away from him. But when she really left Ruili City, she felt extremely sad and couldn't help but shed tears.

She wanted to go back very much, but she was too embarrassed to go back like this, so she gritted her teeth and continued to Kunming.

On the way, she was angry for a long time and cursed many times in her heart: "Damn Gao Jiu, stinky Gao Jiu, I will never come back, I don't want to see you anymore." Then she fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly, gunshots came from outside, and the truck stopped suddenly. The truck driver got out of the car to check. He was hit on his face by a bullet flying from somewhere. His face was covered in blood and blood, which was very scary, and then he fell down.

Long Guobi screamed in fear and curled up on the seat.

After a while, she looked out of the car window and saw a lot of Japanese cavalry surrounding the transport convoy.

Long Guobi didn't expect that this would happen. She pulled out the pistol at her waist and watched the Japanese army approaching step by step in the cab. She felt very desperate.

At this moment, she really regretted it and felt that she shouldn't be so willful. At this moment, she thought of her loving father, mother, brother who loved him, and Gao Jiu who always appeared in front of her, even though she hated her. She knew that she would never see him again in the future, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing the Japanese cavalry approaching step by step, she knew that her resistance was futile, so she pointed the gun at her temple.

The Japanese cavalry quickly boarded the highway. The two cavalry had already arrived at the front of the truck where Long Guobi was, pointed the car's rifle at the cab of the car, and ordered the people inside to come out in half-baked Chinese.

Long Guobi closed his eyes and was about to shoot.

At this moment, fierce gunfire suddenly sounded outside. When Long Guobi opened his eyes, he saw two frightened war horses in front of him. The Japanese on the horse were beaten to death.

She knew that the reinforcements were coming, so she took the courage to look out of the car window and saw the Japanese cavalry constantly falling from the horse, and a cavalry team in camouflage uniforms appeared in the distance.

Long Guobi knew who was coming, and she felt ecstatic in her heart and tears couldn't help but gush out.

Not long after, a tall figure appeared in front of her and a kind voice said, "Girl! I'm here!"

With a "bang", the gun in Long Guobi's hand fell to the ground. She pushed open the car door and saw the kind face.

Long Guobi ran forward desperately and threw herself into Gao Jiu's arms. She cried aggrievedly, then punched him in the chest, shouting: "Why are you here? I hate you! I hate you so much."

The Japanese army was beaten away was a cavalry reconnaissance team. Gao Jiu judged that the large Japanese army's troops would not be too far away from here. He was worried that the Japanese reinforcements would come over and there was no time to delay here. Gao Jiu reached out and picked up Long Guobi, put it on the horse's back, then got on the horse, and quickly drove off the road with the special forces.

Long Guobi leaned against Gao Jiu's broad arms. At this moment, all the grievances were gone, all she had was full of joy. Her face was full of tears, but her smile bloomed like flowers.

Since Long Guobi left, Long Yingyuan was very worried about her. When he saw her coming back safely, he couldn't help but blame her. Long Guobi did not stare at him, looked at Gao Jiu with a smile on his face, and then lowered his head.

That afternoon, a major officer came from Kunming. He came to receive the infantry radio station. At this time, it was only two months before the Japanese army developed this infantry radio station, and there was no secret to keep it. Gao Jiu sold a batch to the King of Yunnan.

The major officer also brought a message from the King of Yunnan this time, which was brought to Gao Jiu, saying that he believed that Gao Jiu would protect the safety of Long Yingyuan and Long Guobi.

Gao Jiu asked him to go back and told the King of Yunnan that he would rest assured that as long as he was Gao Jiu, they would definitely ensure their safety.

After receiving the infantry radio station, the major officer did not leave immediately, but went to find Long Yingyuan.

After hearing the meaning of the King of Yunnan conveyed by the major officer, Long Yingyuan came to Gao Jiu awkwardly. He said, "Brother Jiu, my father meant that he wanted to ask you to help defend Kunming. I know you are in a difficult situation. I am just responsible for conveying a message. What should I do? Please make your own decisions."

Gao Jiu was really in a difficult situation. If the Japanese devils don’t come to cause trouble for themselves, they will have to do it. If they really get angry with the devils and fight thousands of troops, the small Ruili City will definitely not be able to defend. At that time, the trading company, the construction company and the research institute will not be able to protect them. Even if people can evacuate in advance, all the buildings will be destroyed, which will be a huge loss. Of course, all the people in Ruili City will suffer.

After thinking about it, Gao Jiu decided to reject the request of the King of Yunnan.

To be honest, Long Yingyuan's idea is the same as Gao Jiu, and even more urgent than him. He cannot compare with Gao Jiu with a huge career. The trading company is basically all his property and career, so he certainly does not want to suffer losses.

Seeing Gao Jiu making up his mind, he stopped saying anything and went to reply to the major officer.
