So Matsuda ordered the cancellation of the operation and took them to Jinan to meet with General Haneda.

Jinan City.

In order to open up the Jinpu Railway, Yoshino, commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army, suffered severe setbacks many times and basically lost confidence. He was very reluctant to resist the combat plan formulated by Chief Haneda.

He believed that the final result would probably still fail miserably, so he was very negative about implementing the combat plan formulated by the North China Front Army to capture Tai'an and open up the Jinpu Railway.

After Chief Haneda arrived in Jinan, he told Dongxiang Yoshino that Toohiyuan had sent someone to capture Zhang Quan's sister and brother-in-law of the second leader of Taohuashan, and Gao Jiu did not dare to participate in the battle in the Tai'an direction.

Yoshino Togo's confidence has recovered a little, but he is still very worried about the enemy's extremely lethal rocket launcher troops. After the enemy has this weapon, the infantry offensive tactics adopted by the Japanese army have basically failed. Because before the infantry attacks, the first thing to do is to assemble troops, and the rocket launcher has the greatest lethality to a large number of assembled troops. He didn't know how to organize an attack on the enemy for a while.

General Matsuda brought the advance team to Jinan City and told him that he had destroyed half of the underground party's armed rocket launchers, which added a lot of confidence to Togo Yoshino.

Especially when he saw that General Matsuda, whom he had always respected, actually commanded the rocket launcher to advance deep behind enemy lines to destroy the enemy's army, he felt a little ashamed of his fear of the enemy.

So he cheered up and devoted himself to the Tai'an Battle deployed by the North China Front Army.

Togo Yoshino, Haneda and Matsuda also made some tactical reforms on how to launch the Tai'an Battle.

In order to prevent the large number of enemy artillery, especially the attack of rocket artillery, they asked the participating troops to keep a distance as far as possible, whether they are camping, artillery position setting, or infantry attacks, to reduce casualties and losses of weapons, equipment and materials when encountering artillery attacks.

Rocket launchers and all long-range artillery have one common disadvantage, that is, they are shelling outside the sight range, which requires the front-line command post of artillery. The front-line command post is usually set about 1km away from the shelling target, reconnaissance and calculation of the artillery shooting elements, command the artillery in the rear to shell, and then correct it according to the bullet point during shooting.

Based on this characteristic, the Japanese army required that every unit above the infantry brigade, whether in camps, artillery positions, attack starting positions, or ranges of two thousand meters, especially those commanding heights, soldiers must be sent to monitor to prevent the enemy's artillery command post from approaching, so that the enemy's artillery cannot effectively bombard the Japanese army.

Not only that, the commander of the Hongmura also coordinated with the Second Japanese Navy through Tu Feiyuan, dispatched carrier-based aircraft and participated in the battle in the Tai'an direction. The key target was the artillery positions owned by the underground party armed forces, especially the rocket launcher.

After this series of preparations, the Japanese army launched an attack towards Tai'an.

After the battle started, the underground party armed forces became very passive because they were the defensive side and the positions were fixed, which provided convenience for the Japanese aviation army to bomb and artillery strikes.

During the movement of the Japanese army, underground party armed forces could not accurately grasp the location of their camps and the storage of materials and equipment. The artillery command post was difficult to access, so they could not exert the power of long-range artillery, especially rocket launchers. They were very passive as soon as the battle began.

The Japanese army was equipped with a lot of 240mm heavy mortars, and with planes bombing in the sky, the troops of the Shandong Military Region suffered heavy casualties, and the frontier positions were constantly conquered by the Japanese army.

The head of the underground party, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong and others, have basically fought with Gao Jiu's help over the years. Only then did they realize that after leaving Gao Jiu, the pressure on them was much greater.

Seeing the positions around Tai'an City being continuously broken through and the scope of defense has been narrowed, the underground party leaders, Gao Hong, Chen Zhiyong and others were a little anxious and had to send a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping that he could speed up the progress of exchanging hostages and join the battle in the Tai'an direction as soon as possible.

Gao Jiu and others were going to Nanjing. Because the distance was too far, the transport aircraft needed to be modified, and the secondary fuel tank was added to increase the range. This would take a few days. They could only wait patiently for the factory technicians and workers to modify it.

During this period, the Military Control Commission took the lead in launching an attack on Japanese and puppet targets.

Among the Military Control Commission Station, there are many Military Control Commission Stations that have dealt with Gao Jiu, and they all regard Gao Jiu as friends. This matter involves the Taohuashan guerrillas, and the task deployed by the big boss himself. Their actions are very active. They each chose Japanese and puppet personnel who they thought were of great importance and carried out the kidnapping operation.

Other military command stations have long known that they will never suffer any losses if they can deal with Gao Jiu. Therefore, they also want to take this opportunity to get in touch with Gao Jiu and act very hard. For a moment, wars are everywhere behind enemy lines.

The Military Intelligence Commission organized such a large-scale attack, which caused great panic to the Japanese and puppet personnel.

Due to the reminder of Hamada Yoshihiro, Doi-Hi-Yuen had issued a notice to the Japanese garrisons and the special high school department in various places in advance to strengthen their prevention. Therefore, the Military Control Commission also suffered great losses in the attack, with as many as hundreds of casualties and arrested people.

This made the boss of the Military Control Commission feel a little distressed. However, for Gao Jiu, the Military Control Commission spared no effort and gave Gao Jiu enough face.

After Fang Yunwu, the Shanghai Station Manager of the Military Intelligence Bureau, received the order from the boss, he really wanted to do something beautiful. On the one hand, he wanted to show off his skills in front of the boss. On the other hand, Gao Jiu is his good friend, and he thinks it is an honor to be able to do things for Gao Jiu.

Shanghai is one of the most important cities in China. There are many important figures in the Japanese and puppet areas. Just catch one or two is enough to exchange Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu.

However, the Japanese secret service agencies, Mei, No. 76, are all powerful roles. It is very difficult and dangerous to capture important figures from the Japanese and puppets at the Shanghai Military Control Commission.

Fang Yunwu looked for two Japanese generals and senior officials from the puppet regime and organized a kidnapping operation, but none of them succeeded. Instead, he lost several agents and the two contact stations were destroyed.

Not only did Fang Yunwu not complete the task, but also suffered such a huge loss, and felt very angry. He wanted to do a big vote and teach the Japanese a lesson, but in a short while, he couldn't find a suitable goal.

Fang Yunwu was very depressed and was depressed there.

The confidential section chief of the Shanghai Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau was a very beautiful woman, Fang Yunwu's underground lover and wife of the Anti-Japanese War. Seeing Fang Yunwu worried, she was also thinking about it and trying to find a way, hoping to help Fang Yunwu.

But she couldn't think of any good idea for a moment, so she accompanied Fang Yunwu there in a daze.

Fang Yunwu was upset and said to her: "Play a piece of music."

The confidential section chief turned on the phonograph and played a record. The music started quickly, and an Italian music played inside, with a warm and bright tune.

She hopes that Fang Yunwu will be excited when he hears this song.

After listening for a while, Fang Yunwu felt even more irritable.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't want this, change to something else."

The woman was very well-behaved, so she got up and went to exchange for other records.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Fang Yunwu's mind, and this thought was like a lightning bolt in the darkness. He suddenly realized and said excitedly: "There is a way."

When the woman saw Fang Yunwu's happy look, she was also happy for him and asked in surprise: "What good idea did you think of? Tell me quickly."

Fang Yunwu told the woman his thoughts. The woman happily applauded and said, "Yunwu, your idea is so good. I couldn't think of it at all. The Japanese probably couldn't think of it at all. They must not be guarded. We will definitely succeed."

Fang Yunwu did what he said and immediately asked the woman to notify the backbone of the Military Control Commission Station and arranged for him.

After the establishment of the Wang Puppet Regime, in order to cooperate with Japan, the Axis powers led by Germany also recognized the Wang Puppet Regime and established embassies or embassies, consulates and other foreign institutions in the areas controlled by the Wang Puppet Regime. In addition to Nanjing, there are also their offices in Shanghai.

That afternoon, the minister, wife and daughter of the Italian embassy in Shanghai came out of the Italian church and were about to get on the car and return to the embassy when a truck suddenly drove a truck and jumped out of the car seven or eight strong men in plain clothes. Without saying a word, they knocked down several Italian military policemen who escorted the Italian minister's family, stuffed the Italian minister's family into the truck, and quickly left.

The Military Control Commission Shanghai Station hijacked the Italian minister and his family. This move was beyond the expectations of the Japanese. They really did not expect that the Military Control Commission would target the Italians.

The Italian embassy was established in the Japanese-occupied area, and the Japanese were of course responsible for protection.

This is a serious diplomatic incident. If the envoy's family cannot be rescued quickly, it will cause great trouble to the Japanese side.

The Mei organ of the Japanese military, the Wang Puppet Special Service No. 76, as well as the Japanese Shanghai garrison, Huang Xiejun, and puppet police, they were crazy looking for the whereabouts of the Italian minister's family.

Because Fang Yunwu and others prepared in advance and moved the hostages out of the city in a timely manner, the Japanese found nothing and had to report to the Army Department.

Tu Feiyuan has received reports from all over the Chinese occupied areas, saying that a large number of important Japanese figures have been attacked or hijacked recently. He knew that this must be Gao Jiu's move.

Since Tu Feiyuan sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, but Gao Jiu had no reply, he began to feel uneasy. Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu's energy was so great that the entire Military Commission organized the action.

So far, more than 20 important Japanese figures and their families have been kidnapped by the Military Control Commission, and the Taohuashan Guerrillas have sent a squad to hijack more than a dozen important Japanese figures.

This puts great pressure on the local fertile workers.

Tu Feiyuan is now amused and crying, and some don’t know how to clean up this mess. Since he sent someone to capture Zhang Qiaoyun and Liang Shihu, this matter was carried out secretly, and the Japanese and puppet parties still don’t know the whole story. He is very worried that once this matter is exposed, all the pressure brought by the important figures of the Japanese side will be pointed at him Tu Feiyuan.

The Italian ministers were hijacked in Shanghai, and the Italian side immediately put pressure on the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to rescue the Italian ministers.

Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would find the earth and Feiyuan and ask him to supervise the matter.

Tu Feiyuan is now a little unable to hold on, and Gao Jiu has not heard back for a long time, so he is probably still taking action. God knows that he will make some big mistakes.

Tu Feiyuan really couldn't sit still anymore, so she sent a telegram to Gao Jiu again, hoping to negotiate with Gao Jiu.

Unfortunately, Gao Jiu still ignored him.

Tuohiyuan was very helpless and sent a telegram to Hamada Yoshihiro, asking him to try to contact Gao Jiu and negotiate to resolve the matter.

Hamada Yoshiji and the commander of Kok Village were very moved by this incident. Although they had already guessed that Gao Jiu would take hostages to replace him, they did not expect that Gao Jiu would make such a big noise.

It seems that Gao Jiu is very concerned about his subordinates, and for their safety, he does not hesitate to make such a big noise.

Now that Gao Jiu has the chips in his hand, Tu Feiyuan has already put Tu Feiyuan in a completely passive position. Now it is not the question of whether Gao Jiu wants to replace people, but Tu Feiyuan is starting to beg Gao Jiu to replace people.

Not only that, Gao Jiu is really a trustworthy person. This time, Hamada Yoshihiro informed Gao Jiu in advance, so neither the Military Control Commission nor Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas took hostages on the territory of the North China Front Army, which fully gave the commander of the Hongmura and Hamada Yoshihiro face. This required the North China Front Army to give Gao Jiu an explanation.

Komura asked: "Hamada, the people who captured the Taohuashan guerrillas were done by people from the 12th Army of Shandong. What kind of request do you think Gao Jiu would make?"

Yoshiji Hamada said: "Commander, it's certain that he will exchange the hostages, but Gao Jiu will never give up. When they kidnapped Liang Shihu and Zhang Qiaoyun, they also killed the Taohuashan guerrillas. I guess Gao Jiu will definitely ask us to hand over all the special high school personnel participating in this operation.

This matter is a big problem for us, and measures must be taken as soon as possible.
