Chapter 925 Challenge
After Yang Jiong disappeared, there was no news for two days. Gao Jiu was really worried that he would encounter an accident.
While ordering the troops to expand the search scope and mobilizing the people around him to find relevant clues, he also inquired about Yang Jiong's whereabouts through the relationship between the Japanese army.
At this moment, the guerrillas came in to report that someone came to see Gao Jiu and said that they had the whereabouts of the person Gao Jiu was looking for.
Gao Jiu ordered people to be brought over.
The person who came was the traitor maintenance president of Gaolin Village. He said that he was coerced and came to deliver a letter to Gao Jiu. After that, he took out a letter from his close pocket.
Gao Jiu opened the letter and saw it read: "Gao Jiu in Taohua Mountain, the person you are looking for is Yang Jiong, who is Zheng's member of the Independent Division of the Lunan Military Region. If you want to save people, you can contact me through the clear telegram."
The letter was signed by Miura Jun, the head of the Kantong Army Special High School.
Gao Jiu understood and found that Sanpu Jun was not dead. The fake appeared in Taohua Mountain, just to attract his attention and cause his carelessness. Sanpu Jun himself came here and found an opportunity to assassinate him.
It was precisely because the Taohuashan guerrillas were very strict in their defense that Sanpu Jun could not find an opportunity, so he kidnapped Yang Jiong and wanted to use Yang Jiong to create an opportunity to assassinate himself.
Gao Jiu did not ask the traitor to maintain the position of the president Miura Jun and others, because with Miura Jun's cunning, he could not let the traitor to maintain the president know their whereabouts.
Gao Jiu did not make things difficult for the traitor to maintain the president. He even gave him ten o'clock and sent him away.
After maintaining the president's departure, Ning Wu said he would send someone to follow this guy, hoping to find Sanpu Jun's whereabouts through him.
Gao Jiu stopped him and said that this was definitely useless. Since Miupu Jun gave him the contact information, just contact him directly.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Sanpu Jun in the radio frequency band provided by Sanpu Jun.
Gao Jiu said in the telegram: "Sanpu Jun, just say whatever you want."
Miura Jun quickly replied to the telegram, saying that he wanted to fight Gao Jiu alone.
After reading Sanpu Jun’s call, Zhang Quan, Wang Zhankui, the head of the underground party, Gao Hong and others were deeply worried about Gao Jiu.
Zhang Quan said: "Master Jiu, this is obviously a trap. If you go to fight him one-on-one, he will definitely arrange the people in advance and attack you. You can't go."
Gao Jiu said: "Now Yang Jiong is in their hands, and they hide deeply. Only by agreeing to their conditions can they find their whereabouts and rescue Yang Jiong. Their target is me, and this matter must be faced directly."
Everyone couldn't persuade Gao Jiu, and they were deeply moved by Gao Jiu's attitude, and praised Gao Jiu's benevolence and righteousness.
Gao Jiu sent another telegram to Sanpu Jun, and the telegram said: "I promised your conditions, I will fight you one-on-one. But I must first confirm Yang Jiong's safety."
Miupu Jun replied to the telegram and said that there is no problem with this. You can send someone to find the person you met you last time and bring one of your own. I will send someone to tell them where to meet Yang Jiong.
Gao Jiu sent a special forces member to Gaolin Village and found the traitor maintenance president. The traitor maintenance president brought the special forces members to a village. Someone was waiting for them outside the village. They drove a carriage with a canopy, tied up the special forces team, and then covered his eyes and took him away.
The carriage was wandering around, sometimes heading east, sometimes heading west, sometimes south, and sometimes north. The special forces team members were already fainted and could not remember the path the carriage had walked.
After about two and a half hours, the carriage stopped completely. The special forces team members were dragged out of the car and taken into the cave. After they got inside, the black cloth covered in his eyes was taken down. Sure enough, they saw Yang Jiong. Yang Jiong was just tied up at this time and was indeed not injured.
The special forces member asked: "Yang Zhengwei, I was sent by Master Jiu, are you okay?"
Yang Jiong nodded and said, "I'm fine."
Yang Jiong knew that Miupu Jun and others would use their own tricks to deal with Gao Jiu.
He said: "Please tell Mr. Gao,..."
Yang Jiong was about to say, tell Gao Jiu not to worry about me and not to be fooled by the Japanese. Before he could say the following words, a piece of cloth was stuffed into his mouth, and he couldn't say the following words.
Miupu Jun said to the special forces member: "Now you have seen that I am trustworthy and did not hurt Yang Jiong. When you go back and tell Mr. Gao, you say that I admire his character and know that he is honest and trustworthy. As long as the teacher can agree to fight me to the death, I will let Yang Jiong go regardless of victory or defeat."
The special forces team was blindfolded again, dragged outside, got on the carriage, and walked around in circles for a few more hours before being pushed off the carriage.
The special forces team members were tied with their hands and feet, and their faces were covered with black cloth. They struggled for a long time before they broke free. At this time, the carriage had already lost its trace and it was impossible for him to track it.
The special forces team members came to a village, rented a carriage, returned to Guojiazhuang, and reported to Gao Jiu about his meeting with Yang Jiong.
Gao Jiu sent a telegram to Miupu Jun and asked him to agree on a time and place, and the two sides had a fair duel.
Since the telegram exchanges between Gao Jiu and Sanpu Jun use clear codes, countless people received the telegram, which caused huge responses, and thousands of people are paying attention to this matter.
Miura Jun did this on purpose. He knew that Gao Jiu attached great importance to credibility. He announced the fact that he and Gao Jiu had to have a fair duel, which was to let Gao Jiu have no way out and had to accept his own challenges.
Miura Jun wanted to fight Gao Jiu in a single battle, and he carefully considered it. He was born in a Japanese martial arts family and started learning martial arts since childhood. He was very smart. With hard training, he had become a famous martial arts master in Japan in his youth. It was precisely because of his intelligence and martial arts that Doraemon fell in love with him and accepted him as a disciple. Over the years, he has never given up practicing martial arts and practiced every day. He is also a master among the Kwantung Army.
Over the years, Gao Jiu's reputation has been mainly reflected in his superb tactical level. There are not many rumors about his martial arts, and many people have never heard of him having extraordinary expertise in this regard.
Therefore, Miura Jun decided to deal with Gao Jiu with his own expertise. He was very confident in his martial arts and believed that as long as Gao Jiu was willing to make a fair duel with him, he would be able to easily get rid of Gao Jiu.
The reason why Miura Jun is willing to take such a risk is that he has no way out. The situation he is facing is to either get rid of Gao Jiu or be regarded as a scapegoat. Being able to have a fair duel with Gao Jiu is his only and best choice at present.
The news that Miupu Jun was going to have a fair duel with Gao Jiu reached the ears of those familiar with Gao Jiu. They sent telegrams to Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu would not take risks and do such stupid things.
Commander Yang sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, saying in the telegram: "Brother Gao, you have a noble status and you don't have to compete with ordinary Japanese officers. This will lose your identity. I hope your brother will not do such a thing. As for what you want to save people, you can think of other ways and never be fooled by Japanese officials."
The boss also sent a telegram to Gao Jiu. The telegram meant similar to that of Commander Yang. He also hoped that Gao Jiu could respect his identity and did not need to have any duels with the Japanese. He also said that the Military Control Commission would cooperate fully in the rescue, hoping that Gao Jiu would not take risks.
There were endless telegrams, with hundreds of copies, all of which were persuading Gao Jiu not to take risks.
There is a very strange phenomenon among these telegrams, that is, none of Gao Jiu's family came to persuade Gao Jiu because they knew him too well, and that was an invincible existence. No matter what tricks the Japanese made, they could not deal with him.
They did not send telegrams to Gao Jiu, and there was another meaning, that was, they did not want them to interfere with Gao Jiu's decision and avoid him being distracted by worrying about it. This fully reflects their deeper care for Gao Jiu.
After receiving the report from Sanpu Jun, Tu Feiyuan fully affirmed Sanpu Jun's courage. He praised it very much and believed that to deal with someone like Gao Jiu, he would force him to a dead end and make him unable to refuse.
Since you can't deal with Gao Jiu with ordinary means, it is possible that Miura Jun can fight Gao Jiu with his superb martial arts to really get rid of Gao Jiu.
Tu Feiyuan not only praised Miura Jun's courage and loyalty, but also promised to relieve him of worries. If Miura Jun had any accidents, his family was taken care of by Tu Feiyuan. Of course, he also inevitably encouraged Miura Jun, saying that if Miura Jun could successfully get rid of Gao Jiu, he would personally celebrate Miura Jun's achievements and ensure that he could be promoted to general.
The call from Earthy Yuan gave Miupu Jun greater courage. Now he is focused and ready to fight Gao Jiu wholeheartedly.
After receiving the clear telegram, the commander of the North China Military Port Village called Hamada Yoshiji and asked, "Hamada, do you think Gao Jiu will accept the challenge of Miura Jun?"
Hamada Yoshiji nodded affirmatively and said, "Gaojiu is a trustworthy person, he will definitely do it."
Komura asked, "How sure do you think Miupu Jun is going to get rid of Gao Jiu?"
Hamada Yoshiji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Miura Jun is really too confident, or blindly conceited. I am sure that if Miura Jun wants to defeat Gao Jiu, there is no hope for 10%.
The commander of Komura said worriedly: "Do you want to remind Miura Jun?"
Hamada Yoshiji asked back, "Commander, do you think it is necessary to remind him of someone as arrogant as Miura Jun?"
Komura is a smart man, and he immediately understood that there was no need to remind Miupu Jun. First of all, Miupu Jun was arrogant and he would not listen to him. Secondly, since Miupu Jun had publicly challenged Gao Jiu, he had no way out. It was useless to remind him and could not change any facts.
The most important point is that the North China Front Army originally wanted Miupu Jun to be a scapegoat. If he was eliminated by Gao Jiu, Gao Jiu's anger would be reduced by half and things would be much easier to solve.
Komura nodded and said, "Then let's wait and see, hoping to hear good news from Sanpu Jun."
Gao Jiu continued to communicate with Miupu Jun in the telegram. His request for Miupu Jun was to agree to a fair duel with him, but the prerequisite was that Yang Jiong must be released first.
Miura Jun knew that he could not go back on his promise with Gao Jiu's identity and status, so Miura Jun agreed to Gao Jiu's request, saying that Yang Jiong would be released safely two hours before the duel began.
Miura Jun also made a request, first of all, proposed that the duel should be chosen outside Tai'an City, between the Japanese and the Anti-Japanese Army positions, so that the Japanese army in the city could observe this fair duel. Of course, the anti-Japanese armed forces could also watch the battle so as to be a witness.
Miura Jun wanted to choose the duel location in public, so that Gao Jiu could avoid playing tricks.
He is a very smart person. He knew that Gao Jiu had thousands of arrogant soldiers and only two of them under his command. Such a request seemed fair, but in fact he took a big advantage.
He asked for a duel in front of the two armies, so he avoided Gao Jiu from coming out to duel after he let Yang Jiong go.
Gao Jiu was also very satisfied with Miupu Jun's requirements, because if he chose another duel location, Miupu Jun might set up an ambush secretly, and Gao Jiu had the possibility of being plotted against by the enemy. He chose to be in front of the two armies, and even if Miupu Jun wanted to make a fraud, it would be difficult for Miupu Jun to do it.
Gao Jiu happily agreed to all his requests, and the two sides agreed to hold a fair duel outside the west gate of Tai'an City at 10:00 the day after tomorrow.
On the road leading to Tai'an in Binhai County, a team of cavalrymen from the underground anti-Japanese armed forces were rushing to the road at lightning. At the front was a heroic female soldier, who was Jiang Xiaomei.
Although Jiang Xiaomei was in the Binhai Military Region and was far away from Gao Jiu, the friendship in her heart was like magma and could not calm down at all. Although she also believed in Gao Jiu very much and knew that he was something that the Japanese invaders could never defeat, she still had a strong impulse to be with Gao Jiu himself and witness his desperate battle with the Japanese invaders.
Jiang Xiaomei could not control her inner impulse, so she asked the military district leaders to go to Tai'an in person to witness the duel.
The leaders of the military region were very clear about the matter between her and Gao Jiu. They understood Jiang Xiaomei's mood, so they ordered a team to escort her to Tai'an City.
It is 10 o'clock tomorrow morning when Miura Jun is about to compete with Gao Jiu. That night, Hamada Yoshiji suddenly received a secret telegram from Tu Feiyuan.
