After the meeting began, Li Yan let everyone read Tang Jingchen's letter.

Everyone was talking and there was no consensus. Most of them were willing to join the Guo army, so that they could be eliminated as traitors.

The Chief of Staff has now been determined to join the Guojun. He said, "Commander, brothers, there is no good ending to follow the Japanese. Everyone has seen what kind of ending our old commander Ma Zhenye and others are. I personally advocate joining the Guojun. When I see this, everyone should not talk about it. We all listen to the commander. What should the commander do? Just do what to do."

Among the senior officers who advocated joining the Guo army all responded, saying that they obeyed Li Yan's orders.

There was a deputy division commander who was unwilling to join the Guo Mansion. Seeing that everyone's opinions tended to join the Guo army, he did not dare to publicly express his objection, so he made an excuse and said, "Traveling to the Guo army is also an option, but now our family is in the Japanese-occupied area. If the Japanese find out about this, it will affect them."

Speaking of this, everyone, including Li Yan, looked at each other. They all knew the ruthlessness of the Japanese. If they defected to the Guo Army, their families would definitely be cruelly persecuted by the Japanese.

Silence fell into the venue.

At this moment, the communications officer sent a telegram, which was sent by the deputy chief of staff who was responsible for the staying behind, saying that he had taken out the families of all the senior generals of the Sixth Army and sent it to Nanyang City, the garrison of the 41st Corps of the Guo Army.

He himself has defected to the Guo Army and was appointed as the deputy chief of staff of the newly formed 121st Army.

This time, the atmosphere in the venue became relaxed.

Some people feel glad, and some people think that Tang Jingchen is too immoral. This matter should be obtained from their consent in advance and cannot do such a thing that forces him to Liangshan.

Until now, Li Yan and others had no way out and decided to join Guo's army, so they brought the adjutant sent by Tang Jingchen in.

Tang Jingchen's adjutant told everyone that they would definitely be valued after joining the Guo army, and they would not be settled after the autumn, and would treat them as the anti-Japanese soldiers.

They were asked to cooperate with Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas and the newly formed 187th Army of the National Army, and the next phase of the 121st Army was about to launch, which showed their determination to join the Guo Army on the battlefield.

Finally, he took out a list of the names of all the senior officers present, including Li Yan. He said: "Your names have been recorded in Gao Jiuye. If anyone dares to betray other brothers in a half-hearted manner, Gao Jiuye will issue a hunting order to ensure that he has no place to live on this earth."

If it is someone else's threat, everyone can laugh it off, or they have the mentality of being lucky. But Master Gao Jiu of Taohua Mountain is a god-like existence, and he is definitely speaking like a mountain. No one dares to gamble on his own and his family's life.

Up to now, no matter those who really want to join the Guo army or those who have ulterior motives, there is no way out and can only follow the route designated by Gao Jiu.

At 9 a.m. the next day, the Japanese military's chief combat staff came to find Li Yan again.

He urged: "Commander Li, it's 9 o'clock in the morning. Why didn't your troops set off quickly?"

Seeing his arrogant look, Li Yan's anger, who had endured for a long time, finally burst out.

He reached out and slapped heavily on the desk, shouting, "Come on, take this Japanese devil down."

The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Group Army Guard Corps, who had been on standby for a long time, rushed in.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese chieftain reached out to pull out his gun from his waist.

A guard rushed over and slammed his head with a butt, knocking him to the ground.

The Japanese executive was directly pressed to the ground by several guards, and Li Yan said, "Let them be locked up first."

Tang Jingchen's adjutant was very dissatisfied when he saw this situation. He coughed hard and reminded Li Yan not to have the idea of ​​leaving a way out.

The reason why Li Yan didn't kill these Japanese people immediately was really trying to keep a backup plan. If things don't go well, things won't be too extreme. There will be an explanation for the Japanese in the future.

Seeing Adjutant Tang Jingchen's reminder, Li Yan knew that his little thoughts had been seen through. He was very worried that this guy would go back to report to Gao Jiu and Tang Jingchen, which would affect his future in the future.

So he made up his mind and said, "Catch all the Japanese immediately and then rectify the Dharma on the spot."

Soon, fierce gunfire sounded not far away. This was the infantry squad that surrounded the Japanese army and was attacking them.

Soon after, the battle ended, and all the officers and soldiers stationed in the Sixth Army Command of the Japanese army were wiped out.

This completely blocked Li Yan and the others' retreat, and they could only fight the Japanese wholeheartedly to the end.

Tang Jingchen's adjutant sent a telegram to Tang Jingchen. Not long after, Tang Jingchen came here in person, and Wang Zhankui, the third leader of Taohua Mountain, was also with him.

At the meeting of senior officers of the Sixth Army, Wang Zhankui said: "Brothers, after joining the Guo army, you don't have any worries. I used to be a puppet army and was a bandit before becoming a puppet army. But since I embarked on the road of anti-Japanese war, I have now become a dignified anti-Japanese hero. As long as you are committed to fighting against Japan in the future, Master Gao Jiu can guarantee your future is safe."

Everyone knows Wang Zhankui’s name. He, Zhang Quan and others are both famous generals under Gao Jiu and are famous all over the world.

With Wang Zhankui's appearance, everyone's hearts became more stable. At this time, everyone had no doubts and was determined to fight against Japan.

The meeting between Tang Jingchen and Wang Zhankui and everyone was directly converted into a combat meeting, and Gao Jiu's next combat arrangement was deployed.

The next morning, the commander of the Japanese 39th Division received a report that a large number of fruit troops appeared on the east, west and south sides of their defense zone, as well as the Taohua Mountain guerrillas.

The division commander of the 39th Division hurriedly ordered the troops to enter the position and prepare for defensive operations.

Then, he ordered the situation here to be reported to the commander of the Seventh Army.

Just as they were about to send a telegram, the commander of the Seventh Army arrived first and ordered them to retreat to the north immediately.

It turned out that the commander of the Seventh Army received a report that the family of the senior general of the Sixth Army of the puppet army suddenly disappeared. He realized that the situation was not good, so he notified the 39th Division to evacuate quickly.

Gu Sheng

However, it was too late at this time. The commander of the 39th Division received a report from his subordinates that the retreat route to the north had been cut off by the troops of the three divisions of the Sixth Army.

The commander of the 39th Division broke out in a cold sweat. He was a person with rich combat experience. He quickly judged the situation and knew that he was not the opponent of Gao Jiu's Taohuashan Guerrillas and the newly formed 187th Army of the Fruit Army. Only breaking north was the only way out.

He made a quick decision and immediately ordered the entire division to give up all unnecessary supplies and break through the north with all his might.

On the defensive position of the 1st Division of the Sixth Army, the division commander Wang Chenglong and his senior officers looked forward to it. Finally, they saw a long convoy in the distance, and everyone hurriedly met.

The visitor was Du Shengxi, the fifth leader of the Taohuashan Guerrillas. He brought 12 105mm caliber howitzers and 12 88mm German anti-aircraft guns. These weapons have already made Wang Chenglong and others very jealous.

Next, they saw the legendary building demolition expert, 8 Japanese 240mm caliber heavy mortars.

With these firepower support, the officers and soldiers of the First Division were more confident.

Considering the fear of the puppet army for a long time, Gao Jiu was a little worried that they could not withstand the Japanese attack, so he sent Taohuashan guerrillas to the Sixth Army that had just surrendered. In addition to Du Shengxi, there was a squadron of Taohuashan guerrillas in the defense areas of the Third Division and the Fourth Division to assist them in defending the Japanese army.

Wang Jindong also sent a large number of machine guns, submachine guns, and a large amount of ammunition to the Sixth Army, which directly strengthened the firepower of the Sixth Army.

Not only that, in order to prevent the approaching Japanese 40th Division from supporting the Japanese 39th Division, Zhang Quan led the Taohuashan guerrillas and the 187th Division to block the Japanese army.

The 39th Japanese Division knew that the situation was critical and immediately launched an attack on the position of the Sixth Army.

On the position of the First Division, the officers and soldiers saw a large group of Japanese troops appearing in front of them. The fear that the Japanese army has caused them for a long time made them frightened. Many people already had the idea of ​​not beating the Japanese army and rushing to escape.

The officers and soldiers also understood the Japanese offensive tactics. They knew that the Japanese army would be bombarded soon, so they quickly lay down in the trenches.

At this moment, they heard the sound of fierce artillery fire. Strangely, the shells did not explode on their positions, but on the Japanese positions ahead.

Some brave officers and soldiers poked their heads out of the trenches and saw smoke and dust rolling on the Japanese positions and shells constantly exploded. They could see that the Japanese army was blown upside down.

The officers and soldiers all cheered, and their fear of the Japanese army decreased a lot.

The Japanese army was very tenacious. Although they suffered heavy casualties under the fierce shelling of the Taohua Mountain guerrillas, they still rushed over.

When the officers and soldiers of the First Division saw the Japanese army rushing over, they were still very scared, so they carried the machine guns and submachine guns that had just been equipped for them and shot desperately at the Japanese army, hoping to stop the terrifying Japanese army from approaching.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the fierce firepower attack, and soon could not hold on and began to retreat.

The officers and soldiers of the First Division realized that the Japanese army was not that scary, and their morale suddenly increased.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army launched a second attack and was repelled by the officers and soldiers of the first division with high morale.

Next, just as the Japanese army gathered their troops to launch another attack, the roar of bombers came from the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the First Division have received a notice that this is their own plane. They look at the planes in the sky and then the positions of the Japanese army. They are very much looking forward to the bombers bombing the Japanese army.

The bomber began to dive, and then a large number of aviation bombs were thrown from the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the First Division saw that the Japanese positions were constantly exploding, and their power was much greater than those artillery. It is conceivable what the Japanese army within the range of the aviation bomb explosion would end.

The officers and soldiers of the First Division are now very grateful that they have now become part of the Anti-Japanese Army and do not have to taste the power of these aviation bombs.

After the plane bombing, the Japanese army could not recover for a long time. After two hours, a large group of Japanese troops appeared again.

Du Shengxi and others continued to bombard the Japanese army. The Japanese army rushed over with a sparse number of people, which no longer poses any threat to the positions of the First Division.

The officers and soldiers of the First Division repelled the Japanese attack again. When they saw the Japanese retreat in a panic, the anger accumulated by the Japanese bullying finally broke out. Many officers and soldiers jumped out of the trenches and chased the Japanese army.

The officers and soldiers of the Third Division and the Fourth Division of the Sixth Army also repelled the Japanese attack and completely cut off the retreat of the 39th Division of the Japanese Army.

Not long after, the 39th Division of the Japanese Army was surrounded by the Taohuashan Guerrillas, the newly formed 187th Army, the 121st Army and the Sixth Army within a narrow range of only a few square kilometers.

A large number of artillery were constantly approaching, and soon a large-scale shelling of the surrounded Japanese army was about to be launched.

The commander of the Japanese 39th Division knew that he was finished, and he began to think of a way out.

Although he was a general of the young and strong sect, he was very proud, but since he met Gao Jiu's Taohua Mountain Guerrillas, his rebellious aura had long been beaten away. All that was left was his fear of the Taohua Mountain Guerrillas.

The division commander had also studied the situation of the Japanese army fighting against Gao Jiu. He knew that Gao Jiu had captured many Japanese troops in the past, and finally released them safely. Now he has begun to think about this.

The chief of staff of the division had the same idea as him, knowing that once the enemy's artillery was in place, they would soon be wiped out by the fire.

While the enemy had not started shelling, he suggested that the division commander send people out immediately to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

The division commander also knew that the situation was critical, so he simply asked the chief of staff to go out directly to avoid sending others to waste time. At that time, the enemy's cannons fired, and bombers came over and exploded them, and there was no one left to surrender.

The Japanese chief of staff immediately asked a Japanese soldier to raise a white flag and shake it hard in the direction where the Taohua Mountain guerrillas appeared.

This turned out to be effective. The Anti-Japanese Army stopped shooting, and someone called out to the Japanese army and asked them to come over quickly.
