Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 372 A Bad Feeling

After Li Jin and the others finished cleaning the battlefield, Xu Qingfeng and the others also heard intensive gunshots. Within half a minute, the gunshots stopped abruptly.

Li Jin knew that the devils over there should have been wiped out as well.

Soldiers who are more powerful than the devils, and have more firepower and numbers than the devils, it is almost impossible for the devils to fight back in an ambush.

"Let's go, let's join Lao Xu and the others." Li Jin led the team to Xu Qingfeng.

One minute later, Li Jin and the others arrived at Xu Qingfeng's side. At the foot of the mountain, there were corpses lying all over, many corpses were almost smashed into a sieve by machine guns.

Xu Qingfeng was leading people to refill the corpse with guns.

Soon, the battlefield was cleaned up, and Li Jin asked several platoon leaders to come over for a meeting.

"The devils who entered the mountain have been wiped out. If the devils know about the situation here, they may send troops from other counties to encircle us.
Of course, the greater possibility is that the devils will stop entering the mountains to encircle and suppress them. "Li Jin said.

There are many mountains here. If the devils want to send troops to encircle and suppress them, they will not be able to achieve the purpose of encircling and suppressing if the number is small.

But to mobilize large troops to encircle and suppress a company, the devils obviously wouldn't spend so much trouble, and this is not the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

If it were the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, it would be possible to transfer as many people as possible.

"Although the possibility of the latter is high, we have to guard against it. We still need to let the villagers stay in Qianku Mountain for a few more days.
Wait until it is confirmed that the devils will not go into the mountains to encircle and suppress them, but tell them to come back and live. "Li Jin said.

The devil's army that entered the mountain was wiped out, and it would take two days before the devil commander in the county knew about it.

"Well, let people go to the county seat to see the situation. If the devils really plan to send a large army to encircle us, these villages can only give up." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said.

At that time, they estimated that they would have to take the villagers to the regiment headquarters, and ask the regiment leader to arrange for the villagers of several villages to disperse and live in other base areas.

"Xiao Liu, take two people and go directly outside Changyuan County to check the situation. If there are a large number of devils coming to Changyuan County for support, withdraw immediately." Li Jin said to Liu Changshun.

"Understood!" Liu Changshun nodded, and he left with two soldiers from the reconnaissance squad.

"Next, people from Changyuan County will definitely be sent to inspect. The devils who are entering the mountain, as long as they are just collecting corpses and don't plan to enter the village, we will let them go temporarily." Li Jin said.

If the devil who collects the corpse still chooses to enter the village, he doesn't mind killing a few more devils so that the devil can collect more corpses.

To some extent, Li Jin still didn't want to give up these three villages. After all, he had stayed here for so long, and if he gave up, he would have to re-open the base area.

"Then let the devils live a few more days, and we can't really give up a few villages." Tang Zizheng said, although he didn't stay here long enough, he thought it was quite good here, at least it was comfortable .

"Then it's settled. We've been withdrawing for two miles in the past few days, and at the same time we're sending people to monitor the situation here," Li Jin said.

Everyone nodded.

.........

At the foot of Qianku Mountain, many villagers were cooking and cooking here. The arrival of the devil did not make the villagers feel alarmed.

"I don't know what's going on with Company Commander Li and the others. I hope it's not really a large army of devils coming in to encircle and suppress them." Some villagers were adding firewood to the stove, while worrying about Li Jin's side.

"Don't worry, Company Commander Li and the others are so powerful, a small number of devils can't do anything to Company Commander Li." A villager next to him said that he had great confidence in Li Jin.

You know, the first special warfare company lived a miserable life, and they couldn't even eat enough.

But under the leadership of Li Jin, the soldiers of the special warfare company basically ate meat every day. They beat devils and bandits, and killed many bad guys.

"I know, but isn't that a worry?"

"Worry about a hammer. My son is from the Special Warfare Company. He said that Company Commander Li didn't take devils seriously. He must be aware of that. Don't worry."

"Yes, yes, your son is amazing. Don't talk about it every day. My son will be sixteen next year, and he will be able to join the Eighth Route Army."

.........

In Changyuan County, Devil Barracks, in the office.

Lieutenant Bancheng was still waiting for good news from Second Lieutenant Zuomu, and he waited until 07:30 in the evening.

"Strange, why didn't Zuo Mu send someone back to report the news?!" Lieutenant Bancheng frowned. It stands to reason that Songjia Village is not too far from the county seat. If there was an Eighth Route Army over there, they should have fought each other long ago.

With the strength of the Eighth Route Army, in less than half a day, they would definitely be defeated by Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu and the others, with heavy casualties, and eventually a small part of the Eighth Route Army escaped into the mountains.

"Or is it that there is no Eighth Route Army over there, so they have been looking for it for a long time?!" Lieutenant Bancheng shook his head, denying this idea.

If there were no Eighth Route Army, Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu would have come back after slaughtering a few villages, but not fighting the Eighth Route Army.

In all likelihood, the possibility of the Eighth Route Army over there is even greater.

"They may be chasing the Eighth Route Army that entered the mountain, and they will return tomorrow." Lieutenant Bancheng thought.

He looked at the phone on the table, picked it up, and called Guyuan County directly. He planned to tell the captain the good news.

"I'm the commander of Changyuan County, please give me a call to the commander's office."

"Hi!"

Soon, the call was connected.

"Lieutenant Bancheng, what's the matter with you?!" The voice of Kazuo Fujita, captain of the Guyuan County Alliance, came from the phone.

"Lieutenant Captain, I found the Eighth Route Army here, in Dashan Village, about ten or twenty miles away from Changyuan County." Lieutenant Bancheng said.

"Nani?! The Eighth Route Army?!" Kazuo Fujita was a little surprised. They had been here for a long time, but there was no news of the Eighth Route Army.

Especially more than a month ago, when he came to Guyuan County, he was attacked by a unit of the national army, and then soldiers from two squadrons rushed to encircle and suppress this national army unit, but they were annihilated in the end.

"Yes, this Eighth Route Army is estimated to have about a company. I have already sent a small team, and the Imperial Association Army has entered the mountains to encircle and suppress this Eighth Route Army.
They haven't come back yet, they must be chasing the Eighth Route Army that entered the mountain. " said Lieutenant Bancheng.

"Baga! Who told you to mobilize troops into the mountain without asking for instructions? If anything happens, are you responsible for it!" Kazuo Fujita was furious, and he frowned.

The lieutenant of Bancheng was also too courageous. Without his consent, he dared to send troops into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army.

"Commander, as the county commander, I have the right to mobilize troops when I hear about the Eighth Route Army," Lieutenant Bancheng said.

"I know, but you should have told me before you dispatched troops, instead of sending troops out to tell me, do you still have me as the captain in your eyes!" Kazuo Fujita said with some dissatisfaction.

Lieutenant Bancheng could mobilize soldiers from the county to encircle and suppress the nearby Eighth Route Army, which is true, but he didn't tell himself that it was too much.

"Lieutenant Captain, I just wanted to capture the Eighth Route Army and give you a surprise. I didn't do it on purpose." Lieutenant Bancheng said with a bit of aggrieved tone, he just wanted to wait until the nearby Eighth Route Army was wiped out.

"Okay, let the troops who entered the mountain withdraw to the county seat tomorrow, and don't make any more moves in a short time.

Wait until the empire takes down Wuhan. Besides, there are too many mountains on your side, and it is still somewhat difficult to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. Hearing this, Kazuo Fujita's tone softened.

It is still possible to sneak attack and wipe out some Eighth Route Army. Although it cannot be completely wiped out, it is not bad.

As for encircling and suppressing a company in the mountains, most of the troops would have to be mobilized to seal the mountains, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. The key point was that the encirclement and suppression might not be successful.

The Eighth Route Army is more familiar with the terrain than them, and it is basically impossible to wipe out the Eighth Route Army in the mountains, and it is only a company.

"Hi!" said Lieutenant Bancheng.

"Then let's do this first, I'm going to get busy." The captain of the Guizi Alliance hung up the phone. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Thinking of Lieutenant Bancheng's words just now when he asked people to enter the mountain, he thought of the imperial soldiers who were annihilated by some unknown force more than a month ago.

If the head of the brigade hadn't tried his best to protect him, I'm afraid his position as the captain of the regiment would have been sacked. After all, the jade fragments of more than 300 imperial soldiers, the matter is already very serious.

You know, more than 300 soldiers can chase after a Huaxia regiment, but such an army was wiped out in a short period of time, which is simply unimaginable.

The key point is that the group of intelligence personnel he re-trained recently has never found any shadow of the Chinese army near Guyuan County.

This also let him know that there is a strong army nearby, especially now that he has received news from the Eighth Route Army, which made him wonder for a while whether it was cultivated by the Eighth Route Army? !

But he quickly shook his head. The Eighth Route Army was too poor. Even if Yun County was defeated by the Eighth Route Army some time ago, he didn't think the Eighth Route Army had the ability to train a powerful army.

Yun County was defeated, but the commander there was rather stupid. He formulated a plan that he thought was perfect, but ignored that the Eighth Route Army could be called for support.

As a result, not only a large number of soldiers were crushed, but also a lot of heavy weapons were lost, which completely embarrassed the empire.

If it weren't for the commander of Yunxian County who was also broken, he might have to commit seppuku, otherwise he would have to go to a military court and suffer all kinds of humiliation.

.........

At noon the next day, Lieutenant Bancheng still did not see Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu sending someone back, which gave him a bad premonition.

"Come on!" Lieutenant Bancheng shouted immediately.

A devil soldier opened the door and walked in.

"Lieutenant!"

"You immediately take a small unit of soldiers to Songjia Village to see what's going on." Lieutenant Bancheng ordered.

"Hi!" The Devil Sergeant nodded, and he left the office. Not long after, a military vehicle drove out of the barracks.

After driving for more than ten minutes, the military vehicle entered the mountain, and within two or three miles of the mountain road, the military vehicle stopped because it saw two military vehicles and a dozen motorcycles in an open space beside the mountain road.

This is obviously going forward, and the mountain road will not be open to traffic, so the troops who came here chose to park their cars in the open space here.

"Drive the car to the open space, and we will advance on foot later." Said the co-pilot's Devil Sergeant Cao.

"Hi!" The ghost soldier who was driving turned the steering wheel and turned into the open space next to him.

Soon, the devil soldiers in the car got out of the car one after another, and the devil soldier Cao led the team to trot towards the mountain.

Not long after, two forked roads appeared in front of the Devil Sergeant Cao.

"It should be going to the right." The devil army Cao glanced at the map and then led the team to Songjia Village on the right.

More than five minutes later, when the Devil Sergeant saw the scene in front of him, he froze in place. At the foot of the mountain not far away, lay the corpses of imperial soldiers, as well as many corpses of the Imperial Association Army.

"Hidden!" After seeing the scene clearly, Sergeant Cao immediately asked people to hide on both sides of the mountain road, and then he asked two soldiers to touch the mountains on the left side to check the situation and avoid enemies in the dark.

But soon, two soldiers came back to report that there was no enemy ambushing nearby.

The ghost soldier also thought it was expected when he heard it. After all, no one would ambush twice in the same place.

He led the team to the corpse not far away. All the soldiers' guns and ammunition disappeared, and even their shoes were taken off, leaving only their clothes and hats.

"Sergeant Cao, what is going on here? Didn't they come to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army? No matter how you look at the situation, they were ambushed!" said a ghost soldier.

He knew that the soldiers who entered the mountain were to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, but in the current situation, these soldiers were obviously ambushed.

Moreover, the number of the Eighth Route Army should still be quite large, and the firepower is not weak. Otherwise, even in this environment, it would not be able to wipe out dozens of imperial soldiers.

"I don't know, but the number of sacrifices here is not right. Take someone to look at the other road from the fork." The Devil Army Cao shook his head and said immediately.

The number of imperial soldiers who died here was only 40, and 20 were not there, so it is likely that Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu split into two groups at the fork in the road just now.

"Sergeant Cao, I found the body of Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu." At this time, a devil soldier shouted not far away.

The Devil Army Cao hurriedly ran over. Second Lieutenant Zuo Mu was shot through the heart and died, but he was also shot in the head, and the white brains flowed out, which looked very scary.

"Sergeant Cao, almost every soldier has been shot in the head. The enemy is afraid of us, and the death is not thorough enough." Said the ghost soldier on the side.

The devil's army is sullen, he still can't figure out what's going on, what's going on? !Obviously they went into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army, but why were they attacked by the Eighth Route Army instead, and killed so many people.

A few minutes later, the devil soldiers sent to another road to check the situation also came back.

"Sergeant Cao, the rest of us, it seems, were also ambushed on our side." Said the ghost soldier, he encountered the same situation after walking to the other road at the fork.

"Sure enough," the devil soldier Cao murmured.

"Sergeant Cao, what should we do now?! Should we continue to move forward?!"

"Clean up the corpses first. Go back to the county seat and inform the lieutenant of the situation here so that he can send more Imperial Association troops to clean up the corpses." Said Jun Cao.

As for moving on? !Forget it, if the Eighth Route Army didn't leave and was still ambushing on the road, wouldn't he be killed if he passed.
