Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

If it weren't for his brother's friendship with Major Ichiki, he might have been sent back to the country and tried by a military court. Therefore, he was already satisfied with being reduced to a non-commissioned officer.

"As long as you understand, okay, go back and have a good rest. We will set off with the Imperial Alliance Army early tomorrow morning." Shao Zuo Ichiki said.

"Hi!"

Eita Ichiro slowly exited the office.

The next morning, Li Shi went to the military camp early to wait in Major Ichiki's office.

Major Ichiki was correcting documents and ignored Li Shi standing aside.

Not long after, Eda Ichiro walked in.

"Major, I'm here." Eita Ichiro said.

"Well, let's go as soon as we come. I'll send you an interpreter. When you talk to the bandits, you can communicate easily. There are also twenty soldiers responsible for protecting you." Shao Zuo Ichiki said.

In order to make Ichiro Eita's mission go smoothly, he specially asked the translator in the army to follow him.

"Hi!"

Eda Ichiro and Li Shi left the office together.

.........

Around 09:30 am.

On the mainland outside the mountains, a military vehicle stopped.

Twenty Japanese soldiers got off the car, as well as two Chinese, one was Li Shi and the other was the fat translator, Hu Sanpang.

Originally, Li Shi wanted to bring his men with him, but Eda Ichiro refused because he couldn't fit in the car. Li Shi couldn't speak all the way, which made him choke.

Usually they would speak ill of the Japanese from time to time, but now, the car was full of Japanese, and there was also a translator.

Although he was Chinese, the translator told him that he must be with the Japanese, and he did not dare to speak.

However, what made him relaxed was that he didn't have to carry Dayang's box. The people carrying the box were all Japanese soldiers.

The translator ran to Eda Ichiro as soon as he got off the car, and Li Shi quickly followed.

"Is Junhuang Mountain far from here? How long does it take to get there?" Ichiro Eita said to Hu Sanpang in Japanese.

"Taijun asked you, how far is Junhuang Mountain and how long does it take to reach it?" Hu Sanpang told Li Shi what Eita Ichiro said.

"Taijun, Junhuang Mountain is about seven or eight miles away from here. The mountain road is rugged. It will probably take an hour or two to get to Junhuang Mountain." Li Shi said.

In fact, it's probably more than that. If you don't have to wait for someone to move the ocean, it will only take an hour or two, but if you have to wait for someone, it will probably take longer.

After hearing this, Hu Sanpang also conveyed the message to Eita Ichiro.

Ichiro Eita frowned. He was a little unhappy that he had to walk such a long mountain road, but he had no choice but to endure it.

If he didn't complete the mission, he would be stuck in the rank of sergeant.

.........

Near noon, Eda Ichiro and the others finally arrived at Junhuang Mountain.

However, their whereabouts had actually been discovered by the bandits a long time ago, but there were only a few people there, so the bandits thought there was no threat and kept silent.

When Eda Ichiro and the others first arrived, hundreds of bandits with guns ran out from the woods on both sides.

When the bandits surrounded them, the Japs immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the bandits. The Japs carrying the boxes put the boxes down and then pointed their guns at the bandits.
They surrounded Eita Ichiro in the center and protected Eita Ichiro.

Many bandits were a little scared after seeing this situation. The devils who came today were much more courageous than the puppet soldiers. When hundreds of people were surrounding them, they actually dared to point their guns at them. Desperate look.

"Misunderstanding, brothers, it's all a misunderstanding. I was here yesterday, you should still know me, right?" Li Shi shouted quickly.

He was really afraid of a fight between these bandits and the Japanese. If they really fought, it would be very embarrassing.

But Eda Ichiro didn't look afraid. In his opinion, these bandits were just a group of rabble, nothing special.

"Oh, it turns out it's you." One of the bandits said, pretending to be surprised.

"Yes, it's me, it's me. I came today to meet your boss." Li Shi said quickly.

Hu Sanpang was also conveying Li Shi's words to Eita Ichiro.

"Okay, you just wait, I'll ask someone to report it." said a sturdy bandit, who was a captain.

"Wait a minute, not only the prince and I will be going up, but the translator will also be going up. Please make it clear." Li Shi said.

He couldn't understand Japanese. If he and Eda Ichiro were the only ones here, it would be weird and they couldn't understand the language.

"it is good."

.........

Halfway up the mountain, Li Jin stood in the open space of the village, smoking quietly.

As he expected, the Japanese really continued to send people over, and even brought several large boxes over. Although he hadn't seen the contents yet, if he guessed correctly, it should be Dayang.

I just don't know whether the Japanese rank is a lieutenant or a non-commissioned officer.

At this time, a soldier from the new regiment came up from the mountain and ran towards Li Jin.

"Master, the Japs have reached the bottom of the mountain. The puppet soldier said that not only the Japs are going up the mountain, but the translator is also going up the mountain." The soldier said.

"Well, I understand. Let the Japs come up. By the way, when you come up, bring a few big boxes with the Japs." Li Jin ordered.

That was money. If he put it aside earlier, he would feel more at ease.

"Yes!" The soldier immediately went down the mountain.

.........

At the foot of the mountain, the bandits were watching the Japs, and the Japs soldiers were also looking around vigilantly. If there was a problem, they would shoot immediately to cover Eda Ichiro's retreat.

"Captain Li, are you familiar with these bandits?" Hu Sanpang asked.

"You're familiar." Li Shi rolled his eyes. If they were familiar, they wouldn't be pointed at gunpoint by hundreds of bandits.

Hu Sanpang wanted to ask something else, but Li Shi was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned his head to look in other directions. To be honest, he felt a little panicked. Maybe it was because he felt less secure without his subordinates around?
Ichiro Eita was a little impatient. He was just a bandit leader, but he actually dared to stage a show for him. Wait until the bandit leader goes to the county seat to see if he doesn't give the bandit leader any color!
Not long after waiting, the bandit who reported the news came down the mountain and came towards them.

"The boss allows you three to go up the mountain," the bandit said, "but the gifts you bring must also be carried up the mountain together."

After Hu Sanpang heard it, he immediately translated with Eita Ichiro.

After Eda Ichiro heard this, he nodded. Anyway, these oceans were originally meant for bandits.

However, he could not take other men up the mountain, which made him frown and said, "Ask if you can let me take people up the mountain."

After Hu Sanpang heard this, he immediately translated for the bandit.

"No, this is a rule. Who knows if you will hurt our boss? Let the three of you go up the mountain." The bandit said.

"Even if you don't bring them all, four or five head offices, right?" Hu Sanpang said.

"No." The bandit shook his head.

Hu Sanpang had no choice but to translate with Ichiro Eita.

After hearing this, Eda Ichiro stopped worrying about not being able to take people up the mountain. He ordered his subordinates to wait where they were.

The bandits took three people up the mountain.

...At this time, in the brigade headquarters, in the warehouse.

The brigade commander and political commissar were asking people to count the oceans that Li Jin had sent back.

"I said, what do you think? How many times have you ordered it? Count it every day. Is it possible that someone still comes to steal the money?" the brigade commander said to the political commissar.

Ever since these shipments came back from the ocean, the political commissar came every day to count them, which left him speechless.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The people sent at the division headquarters haven't come to transport the ocean away. Naturally, I have to count it every day to avoid mistakes." The political commissar said.

He has already reported the number of these oceans to the division headquarters. The division headquarters is sending people over to transport these oceans away. It is estimated that they will arrive soon.

Finally, after a soldier completed the verification, he said to the political commissar: "Political commissar, the total is 18 oceans. It is correct."

"Well, you've worked hard, go down." The political commissar nodded, "Let's go."

The two left the warehouse. The political commissar locked the warehouse himself. Feeling uneasy, he ordered a soldier to bring a few more soldiers to guard the warehouse.

After leaving the warehouse, the two returned to the headquarters. As soon as they stepped into the door, a soldier rushed over from behind.

"Brigadier Commander, Political Commissar, and Battalion Commander Li have sent important information!" the soldier said, holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"What, there's news." Upon hearing this, the brigade commander quickly took the soldier's paper over.

It says that everything is going according to plan and the troops can be on standby at any time.

"Okay! This guy Li Jin really didn't disappoint us!" said the political commissar.

"This boy is really reliable in his work." The brigade commander also smiled.

"Yes, not only did he integrate the bandits in a short period of time, but he also brought back more than 20 to [-] yuan. He can fight and make money. Such a talent cannot be allowed to escape," the political commissar said.

In his opinion, Li Jin's ability was very strong, and he could even be said to be the most powerful person in their brigade.

The brigade commander also nodded in agreement. He ordered: "Notify the new regiment immediately, the [-]nd Regiment, and the [-]st Regiment. They are on standby at any time. Once there is an order, they will immediately converge on the brigade headquarters!"

It is not yet time for all three regiments to rush to the brigade headquarters.

When the exact news comes from Li Jin, they will be mobilized. Otherwise, if the Japanese find out about the transfer of so many people from the three regiments, it will be bad.

As for the Independent Regiment, because the Independent Regiment still adheres to the task of defending the flanks of the headquarters, it is still inconvenient to mobilize the Independent Regiment.

"Yes!" The soldier went down immediately.

"The [-]th Brigade also needs to send a telegram to notify them." The political commissar said, theirs is on standby, and the [-]th Brigade cannot be left behind.

"Well, that's natural." The brigade commander nodded.

.........

The headquarters of the [-]th Brigade.

In the headquarters.

Zhao Yu and the chief of staff were studying Quyang County and the ambush location provided by the Eighth Route Army.

"Here in Quyang County, it shouldn't be a problem if the Sichuan army attacks anyway." The chief of staff said, the Sichuan army does not care about their lives in the war. It is not a problem for 4000 people to attack the county town guarded by hundreds of Japanese soldiers.

"However, the weapons of the Sichuan Army are still too bad after all. Let's equip them with new weapons. China will give them a thousand formal rifles.

Fifteen light machine guns, six heavy machine guns, and twenty mortars. "Zhao Yu said.

Since they want the Sichuan Army to attack the city, they still need some good weapons. The Sichuan Army's current weapons are still outdated and made in Hanyang. There are very few light and heavy machine guns, and there are not a single mortar.

If they were allowed to use these broken weapons to attack the city, they might not be able to get the Japs in Quyang County to send a message for help.

Siege is not a positional battle.

It might even make the Japanese think that this is a reward for their military exploits.

"Report!" At this moment, a voice came from outside.

"Come in." Zhao Yu shouted.

A signal trooper came in.

"Brigadier, there is news from the [-]th Brigade that everything is going according to plan and we are on standby at any time," the communications soldier said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu took the paper from the communications soldier's hand, looked at it, and said, "The Eighth Route Army is quite reliable."

"Yes, we should also have several regiment leaders come over for a meeting now." said the chief of staff.

"Well, let's inform the three regiment leaders to come over for a meeting." Zhao Yu ordered the communications soldier.

"Yes!"

Not long after, two middle-aged men and a young man came to the headquarters.

"Brigadier Commander! Chief of Staff!" The three of them all saluted Zhao Yu and the Chief of Staff.

"Well, sit down." Zhao Yu nodded and asked the three of them to sit down.

"Some time ago, the [-]th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army came to me and said they wanted to join forces to do something big." Zhao Yu then told the Eighth Route Army's plan.

"So, who do you think we should send to attack Quyang County?" Zhao Yu looked at the three of them.

The two middle-aged men looked at each other, but the young man frowned, this was aimed at him!

"Brigadier Commander, we think Commander Xiao should have this ability. As we all know, Commander Xiao is from Sichuan. His soldiers are all brave and extraordinary. They will definitely be able to complete the mission of attacking Quyang County." said the middle-aged man on the left named Liu. .

"I think so too." The group leader on the right also reconsidered. His surname is Chen.

"So, both of you are optimistic about Captain Xiao?" Zhao Yu said.

"This can only be accomplished by Commander Xiao. I am ashamed to say that the two of us have limited abilities and are even worse than Commander Xiao." Commander Chen said.

Are you kidding me, grandma, this is a siege, not a positional battle, where many people are going to die, okay?

They finally trained the soldiers. If they were all dead, it would take a lot of time to recruit and train them.

"What do you think, Captain Xiao?" Zhao Yu looked at the young man.

"Brigadier, can I refuse?" the young man said.

As soon as the words came out, Zhao Yu's face darkened.

Captain Liu said: "Captain Xiao, this is a good opportunity to make contributions."

"That's right, we gave you the opportunity, why don't you cherish it!" Captain Chen also said.

"Then you go and fight. I don't want this credit, I'll give it to you!" Xiao Tian said angrily.

"What if I ordered you to go!" Zhao Yu said coldly.

"Then I will take the order. However, if we use the weapons of the Sichuan Army to attack Quyang County, even if there are only a few hundred Japs, there will be very little chance of them asking for help.
When the time comes, if the mission cannot be completed, the brigade commander cannot blame me! "Xiao Tiansheng said.

He will not pay for the soldiers' lives in vain. He has promised to bring these soldiers back to Sichuan!

"Don't worry about this. I have someone prepare the weapons for you. You just need to follow the orders when the time comes." Zhao Yu said.

Hearing this, Xiao Tiansheng's heart trembled. The brigade commander really used them as cannon fodder!

"Subordinates take orders!"
