In the battle of Gucheng, Gao Dong became famous, and the battle lines along the Huai River spread the name Gao Dong, and even the common people worshipped Gao Dong as a god. What's more, some people secretly turned Gao Dong's deeds of fighting devils into a book, and for a time it became one of the most talked about stories by ordinary people after dinner.

Whether it is in the occupied areas of the devils, the cities still under the control of the Nationalist Army, or the revolutionary base areas just established by the New Fourth Army, the name Gao Dong has become a symbol of encouragement. It's as if just hearing this name can arouse the blood of all people.

The two divisions of Kimura and Matsuki were completely annihilated, and almost no one from the division commander down to the soldiers escaped, which also greatly shocked the Japanese. Almost the next day, the headquarters of the Japanese army in Central China held a mourning service, and the headquarters of the Japanese army invading China lowered the flag at half-mast for all the soldiers who died in battle.

On the same day, he urgently convened a meeting of the cabinet and the military department, and expressed his deep condolences to the people for the sacrifices of the soldiers, saying that this day was the darkest day in the history of the Japanese military. The whole country of Japan was shocked, and those Japanese who thought they were superior thought that in that ancient country in the East lived only some poor, backward and ignorant Shina people. But they never thought that it was those inferior nations they thought would actually wipe out the two imperial army divisions that they were proud of.

After the instigation of some politicians and military figures, a frenzy immediately set off in Japan, and almost all of them shouted that they would set foot on China and make all the Chinese pigs pay the price for the incident.

A large-scale fundraising campaign was launched in Japan, and all of them generously donated money to support the country to win the war. There are even people who would rather go hungry than take out all their savings, just for the unrealistic sense of honor in their hearts.

The Japanese military has also taken advantage of this to vigorously promote the need to manufacture more and more advanced weapons to equip the army, whether it is the army, navy or air force, they are actively studying with their partners what scale of weapons to manufacture. Their desks gradually have more and more samples of the advanced weapons of various Western powers, and these are the objects that Japan will refer to and imitate.

Not to talk about the extremely strong anti-Chinese will in Japan and in the military at this moment, China at this time, the international metropolis of Shanghai. This is known as the Paris of the East and has the reputation of the Oriental Adventure Park. A secluded villa located in the public concession, quietly located next to the bustling city.

The silent courtyard seems to be out of place in China, which has undergone earth-shaking changes outside, and it does not seem to belong to this land, but to a paradise.

Outside the gate, several Chinese in black suits walked back and forth with serious expressions. Their waists were bulging, and experienced people could see at a glance that these people were the bodyguards of this villa, because the people who could have such a large courtyard in the public concession would definitely not be ordinary people.

In the courtyard, a small European-style building. At this time, the curtains on the second floor were slightly moved, and it was impossible to see what was inside the reflector, only the light reflected by the sun.

"Gao Dong! Is it really that powerful? The curtain was slowly lowered, and a somewhat pale and bloodless hand was gracefully retracted.

The man who said this was wearing a neat suit, and his height of more than 1.8 meters combined with his strong figure made him look beautiful. Perhaps it was the light, but the man standing by the window could not see his face clearly, and his face was always obscured by a ray of sunlight coming in through the window.

"Yes, he led his troops to surprise our two divisions, and finally annihilated both of our divisions. It had had had a very bad impact on the Huai River line, and even on the entire Chinese battlefield, and now the military headquarters strictly ordered that the commanders of the various units must eliminate the fearful thoughts in the hearts of the soldiers in the shortest possible time. ”

A bald man sat flat on the sofa, facing the man standing by the window, the bald head looked very respectful, his eyes never lifted when he spoke, and his hands did not dare to leave his knees. Looking at him, he looks a lot like a soldier.

"I see!" The man by the window said silently: "I have long said that the Chinese are not as weak as they imagined. This is a people who can't give them any chance, and when they accumulate the strength to burst out, it will be a very terrible existence, so the only way to do it is to destroy them quickly. You have always underestimated our opponents. ”

"Hay! Your Excellency is very right, those officers leading troops on the front line are indeed a little arrogant after winning some battles, and they underestimate our opponents too much. The bald head did not refute, but said very obediently. You must know that if the words he is saying now are heard by those arrogant people in Japan, he may be killed on the spot.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" The man by the window lit a cigarette with a click, and through the light of the fire, a well-trimmed mustache could be faintly seen on his lips. It doesn't look like a Japanese, it looks like a Westerner.

"Your Excellency, news has come from the front that one of Gao Dong's subordinates has arrived in Shanghai. He ............... "Before the bald man could finish speaking, the man by the window had already interrupted him.

"Got it, I know what you're trying to do! Don't worry, if you can't kill this Gao Dong this time, I'll help you out. His subordinate is in my hands, I won't kill him for the time being, it seems that he has some use, I thought he was just a fool who could talk nonsense. ”

The bald head immediately stood up and bent down heavily to the man by the window: "Thank you for your help, our Black Dragon Society will never forget." However, what Your Excellency is asking you to do is just a precautionary preparation, and the people we arranged on the front line already know about Gao Dong's weakness, and they will arrange an operation to strangle him according to his weakness. Hopefully we won't see each other again, and I know Your Excellency doesn't want to see us either. ”

The bald head solemnly bowed again, and after getting permission from the man by the window, he silently withdrew from the room.

The sun rose higher, and the man stood by the window and watched the bald head come out of the courtyard, and finally left the place under the escort of the bodyguards at the door, and melted into the vast sea of people in the street.

"I think we're going to meet again. I don't want to see you, but I always do. The man snuffed out his cigarette and smiled meaningfully at the corner of his mouth.

In a base area at the junction of southern Anhui of the New Fourth Army, this is a base area that has just been seized from the puppet army. Life in the base area is peaceful, the people are safe, there is no sign of war, and there is only laughter.

"What? Are you sure it was Gao Dong who did it? Fang Kui ran out of the house wearing only a big pants, his eyes as big as copper bells, and he looked at Guan Lie who was leisurely smoking a cigarette.

Guan Lie glanced at Fang Kui up and down, and laughed, "Can you put your pants on and talk to me again?" ”

Fang Kui looked at himself, and then laughed: "You disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night, are you embarrassed to talk about me?" Come on, we're all big men, who hasn't seen anyone, let's talk about it quickly, are you really sure it was Gao Dong who did it? ”

Guan Lie took a hard puff of his cigarette, and just when Fang Kui was about to scream in a hurry, he easily spit it out, and laughed: "It's true, the news came out from our intelligence officers within the Nationalist Army. To put it bluntly, it is Gao Dong, and the banner he is still playing is our New Fourth Army Independent Brigade. Good guys, when did we set up an independent brigade? This guy really knows how to name himself. ”

As soon as Fang Kui finished listening, he slapped on the table, and his strength almost didn't break up this broken table that was unknown how many years old.

"I knew he could do it, how's that? Am I right? I knew he could! Fang Kui jumped up in the room in big pants, and kept saying that I knew he could do it, as if he was the one who found out about Gao Dong in the first place, not Guan Lie.

"You kid can be regarded as a great meritorious service this time, the head of the headquarters said, you have pulled such an outstanding comrade to our revolutionary team. With this credit, it's not an exaggeration to give you a great credit. Seeing Fang Kui's excited appearance, Guan Lie also laughed, he just liked Fang Kui's straightforwardness.

Fang Kui shook his big hand and said, "I don't care what bullshit." I just want to know, where is the captain of the independent brigade who has just shown his talents? When will we be able to come to our New Fourth Army? ”

Guan Lie took another puff of his cigarette, spit out smoke rings and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to see him for the time being, because he took the troops to the main battlefield in Xuzhou." There, he will perform another miracle. ”

Just when everyone was paying attention to Gao Dong, Gao Dong sat in the jeep captured from the Japanese army, carefully studying the military map of the Japanese army.

This is a combat map collected from the headquarters of the Matsuki and Kimura divisions, and it may not be worth a penny to others, but to Gao Dong, this is a precious treasure.

The Japanese army's operational map showed in detail the offensive route, the direction of the operation, and the positions of each division and regiment to cooperate and defend. Even the retreat route is clearly marked, of course, the Japanese attack route on the front line of Xuzhou is also clearly marked, in order to break through the position of the Chinese defenders, the Japanese army in the north and south can tacitly attack the main Chinese army in the direction of Xuzhou at the same time.

"Captain, are we going to fight on our own, or are we going to cooperate with the national army?" Lin Fan sat next to him, holding another battle map and asked suspiciously.

"This time, the devils attacked from the north with no less than 100,000 troops, and reinforcements came one after another. They attacked from Henan and Shandong, and we couldn't stop it at all, and we could only be regarded as a mantis arm as a car. Gao Dong said slowly.

"That is to say, you are going to cooperate with the national army to attack? But people don't want to see us, right? Lin Fan still said with some apprehension.

"Yes, they will accept us." Gao Dong dropped the map in his hand, a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.
