Waving his hand to signal Yan San to sit down, Fujitang Gaoying's eyes turned to Niu Sigen again, and said: "Niu Sang, although your original intention is haode, the purpose of sending troops is only to prevent Yan Sang from attacking the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but the final result is that the Second Brigade directly annihilated the remnants of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, which also caused great losses to the reputation and reputation of the imperial army, so you will not be used as a deputy division commander, just be the commander of your second brigade." ”

"Hello." Niu Sigen hurriedly got up and bowed repeatedly.

Fujitang Gaoying's gaze fell on Xu Shijiu's face, and he said apologetically: "Xu Sang, I'm sorry, due to the unauthorized actions of the first brigade and the second brigade of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, all the remnants of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were annihilated, and I should take full responsibility for this matter, here, I would like to express my most sincere humility to you." ”

After speaking, Fujitang Gaoying stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Shijiu.

Xu Shijiu was extremely disdainful in his heart, what kind of southern Anhui garrison division acted without authorization? Isn't it all at your behest? However, Xu Shijiu was naturally not stupid enough to expose the lies of Fujitang Gaoying, and immediately got up, saying that since this matter was an unauthorized action of the southern Anhui garrison, and Yan Sanquan and Niu Sigen had already been punished, the matter was over.

Fujitang Gaoying said again: "Xu Sang, in order to express my apologies, I can promise you that the remnants of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will be buried, in addition, although the remnants of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army have been completely annihilated, your promise has been fulfilled, so I will also fulfill my promise, from now on, you are the commander of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army." ”

"Thank you Taisang for your love, and I will do my best to serve the imperial army." Xu Shijiu tilted his head slightly.

"In addition......" motioned for Xu Shijiu to sit down again, and Fujitang Gaoying continued, "After noon today, I will lead the 14th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade to the Longxugou stronghold, and then go to Chikou through Qingyang County. ”

"Xu Sang, Yan Sang, Niu Sang, please take care of you in the future." Haneda, who was sitting at the bottom left of Fujitang Gaoying, immediately stood up and bowed slightly to Xu Shijiu, Yan Sanquan and Niu Sigen, who were sitting opposite him, and Yan Sanquan and Niu Sigen quickly got up and bowed in return.

Xu Jiu also stood up lazily, but only hugged his fist at Haneda.

Seeing Xu Shijiu clenching his fists, Haneda frowned slightly, but soon stretched out again.

Although Xu 19 is nominally the commander of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Cooperative Army, he is only the nominal division commander, and the military power of the Southern Anhui Garrison Division of the Imperial Association Army is actually in the hands of the two brigade commanders Yan Sanquan and Niu Sigen, as well as Wang Fusheng, the independent regiment commander, so Xu 19 is no longer arrogant and untamed, but he does not hold the military power in his hands, he is just a tiger without minions.

Haneda quickly put the little unhappiness that Xu Shijiu brought to him behind, and said to Fujido Takaei with a smile: "Your Excellency General, I was supposed to set up a banquet at the Kondo Salon to give you money, but since Your Excellency the Commander is in a hurry, you have to start in the afternoon, so I specially asked for a few tables of banquets from Kondo Salon, as well as a few new geisha, and rushed to the terracotta base to give you money." ”

"Haneda-san, you're too polite." For Haneda's kindness, of course, Fujido Takaei has no reason to shirk.

Haneda turned around and made a move, and Kondo, the owner of Kondo Salon, had already entered with six or seven geisha dressed in fancy clothes, and then danced in the humble barracks of the terracotta stronghold, not to mention, the Kabuki of Little Japan still has some charm, and the dozen or so Japanese puppet officers present were fascinated.

Immediately, the chef of Kondo Salon prepared the wine feast in the base cafeteria and sent it to him like water.

Fujido Gaoying motioned to the geisha who served the wine to fill the wine for Xu Jiusan, and then picked up the wine glass and got up and said: "Xu Sang, Yan Sang and Niu Sang, let him go in the past, after drinking this glass of wine, you must abandon all prejudices, from now on sincerely unite, and serve the Japanese Empire and the Japanese Imperial Army."

Xu Nineteen, Yan Sanquan, and Niu Sigen were helpless, so they could only tilt their necks.

"Yo Si." Fujido Takaei put down his glass and said to Haneda, "Haneda-san, the dragon mouth will ask you." ”

"Hello." Haneda stood up and bowed heavily, and replied solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will definitely build Longkou into a model security area for the entire Chinese occupation zone." ”

Haneda knows very well that whether Longkou can be built into a model security area is directly related to the future of Fujido Gaoying, and it is precisely for this reason that Fujido Gaoying does not hesitate to work so hard to recruit Xu Shijiu at such a cost, because his ambition is not only to control Longkou, but to build Longkou into a model security area.

"Yo Si." Fujido Takaei nodded happily at Haneda.

(Dividing Line)

On the rugged mountain road, Shu Tongwen was leading the L Battalion of the Independent Regiment forward.

Seeing that the direction of the march was getting closer and closer to the terracotta stronghold of Little Japan, Liu Chang finally couldn't hold back any longer, caught up with Shu Tongwen, and asked, "Awen, where are you taking the troops?" ”

Shu Tongwen smiled and said, "Lao Liu, you will know when the time comes." ”

Liu Chang said unhappily: "Ah Wen, we are classmates of Kang University, so we can keep it secret from me?" ”

Shu Tongwen shook his head, still smiling: "I still say the same sentence, you will know when the time comes." ”

Liu Chang was shocked in his heart and muttered, "Ah Wen, you don't want to fight the terracotta stronghold, right?" ”

"How can that?" Shu Tongwen said, "The main force of Fujitang Gaoying's independent mixed 14th Brigade can be in the terracotta stronghold, although the intelligence just sent by the comrades of the Qingyang underground party shows that the three infantry brigades and auxiliary units of the independent mixed 14th brigade have been drawn in advance, but there are still two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade remaining in the terracotta stronghold, no matter how arrogant I am, I will never be arrogant enough to think that with only one battalion of the independent regiment, I can defeat Fujitang Gaoying's two independent infantry brigades." ”

Liu Chang said: "Then where are you going to take the troops?" What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? ”

"Here we are." Shu Tongwen suddenly snorted and said with a smile, "Lao Liu, look, this is it."

"What is this?" Liu Chang looked in the direction of Shu Tongwen's mouth, but saw a dangerous valley, at this time they happened to be standing on the hill, standing on the hill and looking down at the past, just enough to see the shape of the entire valley, but only to see that the whole valley was gourd-shaped, and a flat road meandered through the gourd valley.

"What is this place?" Liu Chang was not familiar with the terrain of Longkou and did not know where this was.

"It's called Gourd Valley." Shu Tongwen's expression became serious, and he said in a low voice, "More than half a month ago, Lao Xu's nineteenth detachment fought here with the 14th Brigade of Fujitang Gaoying, and unfortunately lost, not only ruining the family of the nineteenth detachment, but also killing hundreds of brothers, which is also the worst defeat suffered by Lao Xu since he led the troops. ”

"Oh, it turns out that this is the gourd valley, and it really looks like a gourd." Liu Chang bowed his head slightly, but he was sneering in his heart.

However, soon Liu Chang couldn't laugh anymore, because after entering the gourd valley, he was extremely shocked to find that Li Zihan and the remnants of the nineteenth detachment were already there, and they were nervously building fortifications in the woods on both sides of the valley.

Liu Chang thought it was just an illusion, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and suddenly opened his eyes.

However, the scene was still the same, the remnants of the 19th detachment were nervously building fortifications, and at the same time moving boxes of bullets and grenades from the center of the valley to the positions on both sides, while there were still a lot of munitions piled up in the open space in the center of the gourd valley.

Liu Changzheng was secretly frightened, but Li Zihan had already brought a few officers to meet him, and greeted Shu Tongwen with a smile: "Awen, I didn't misunderstand you, Lao Xu didn't misunderstand you, you really came?"
