Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"In addition, the Eighth Route Army had planned this attack for a long time. From their attack to blocking the reinforcements along the way, every step was perfectly calculated. The commander of the Eighth Route Army this time should not be underestimated.

We can no longer allow the Eighth Route Army to continue to develop, otherwise it will have a major impact on the empire's plans! . "A Japanese major general also said. After carefully analyzing what happened this time, he broke into a cold sweat behind his back.

The commander of the Eighth Route Army has too many things to consider, step by step, step by step, making people unable to react immediately, but instead falling into the trap set by the Eighth Route Army step by step.

"It seems that we need to gather manpower to carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army, but this will take time. One year, at the latest one year, we must carry out a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army!" Sakagaki Seishiro said.

The biggest threat to them now is no longer the Jinsui Army, but the army they have always looked down on before.

They have suffered heavy losses in recent times, especially in the past month, when more than 6000 soldiers were killed.

An important arsenal was also lost, and all the weapons in it had been removed by the Eighth Route Army.

Those weapons will increase the Eighth Route Army's firepower and make the Eighth Route Army stronger in future battles, but they will pay a heavy price.

If the Eighth Route Army continues to develop like this, the consequences will be disastrous, so the Eighth Route Army must be dealt with so that they can gain more stability here.

"Hi!" everyone replied. They had suffered too much losses at the hands of the Eighth Route Army recently, and they should let the Eighth Route Army know that they were not easy to mess with, and they would have to pay a price for messing with them.

Just then, a Japanese soldier came in to report.

"Division commander, Commander Shinozuka is back."

"Nani?!" Seishiro Sakagaki was stunned. Wouldn't Yoshio Shinozuka be back in a few days? Why did he come back from the base camp so soon?

Before Itaheng Seishiro could prepare, a Japanese lieutenant general walked in. His face was cold and he clearly knew what had happened this month.

"Commander!" Sakagaki Seishiro quickly stood up and moved away from his seat.

"Commander!" All the Japanese soldiers present stood up and saluted.

"Well, I already know what happened recently, do you have anything to say?!" Yoshio Shinozuka sat directly in Sakagaki Seishiro's seat, and said with a sharp gaze across everyone.

He really didn't expect that he would learn such exciting news right after he came back. In less than a month, more than 6000 soldiers were killed and one of the important arsenals was lost.

All the Japs lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak.

"I heard that these two incidents were all done by the Eighth Route Army?!" Yoshio Shinozuka continued.

"Hey! It's most likely that they did it! In other words, they did it jointly with the Jinsui Army." Seishiro Sakagaki on the side replied.

The Eighth Route Army alone would definitely not be able to do this, and there must still be a shadow of the Jinsui Army among them.

"Baga!!! A joint operation between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army. What is the intelligence department doing with such important news?!

The empire spends so much money to support them, are they just doing it for a living? ?

Also, Beishan Mine and Hengshi Mine were attacked this time. Most of the soldiers were ambushed by the enemy on the way to support. Did those officers command with their butts? !ah? ! "Yoshio Shinozuka cursed loudly.

None of the Japanese officers dared to say anything, and those who were scolded could only lower their heads. For a moment, in the entire office, only Shinozuka Yoshio's voice was scolding everyone.

"I don't care whether these two things were done by the Eighth Route Army or the Jinsui Army. Now, just keep an eye on the Eighth Route Army. We must launch an effective encirclement and suppression campaign against the Eighth Route Army within a year!

Otherwise, you will all commit seppuku and commit suicide! "Yoshio Shinozuka said fiercely.

"Hi!" The Japs nodded quickly and responded loudly. In fact, they felt that they could not be entirely blamed for this matter. After all, who knew that the Eighth Route Army could suddenly be so fierce and be able to kill so many of them.

"Sakagaki Seishiro, I will leave this matter entirely to you, is that okay?!" Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Sakagaki Seishiro and said.

"Hi! Commander, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!" Sakagaki Seishiro said. Such a big thing happened, but the commander didn't even scold him, which was considered to have given him face.

If he doesn't make some achievements, he will probably have to go somewhere else.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood up and left.

The Japs finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were almost frightened to death.

"Division, division commander, how should we target the Eighth Route Army next?!" a Japanese major general asked.

"Let's all sit down first and then talk." Sakagaki Seishiro motioned for everyone to sit down first.

After everyone sat down, Sakagaki Seishiro said: "Please tell me your opinions. What do you think should be done to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army faster?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Division Commander, I think the Eighth Route Army often hides in remote areas and uses those Chinese villages as base areas. Once we encircle and suppress them, they will immediately lead their people into the mountains.
There are a lot of mountains here. If you want to encircle a small place, you will have to send out a large number of soldiers, and the gain outweighs the loss. "A Japanese commander said.

He felt that the place where the Eighth Route Army was staying was not easy to encircle and suppress. Once they hid in the mountains, they would have to send out a large number of soldiers to encircle and suppress them. The key was to encircle and suppress a few people. Too many people would be used, which would consume too much materials and energy.

According to this kind of encirclement and suppression, it is impossible to eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

"Well, what you said makes sense, so what do you think should be done?!" Sakagaki Seishiro nodded. It's not like he didn't understand this truth.

Encircling and suppressing is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is that once the Eighth Route Army sneaks into the mountains, the Eighth Route Army may have already escaped before they can successfully encircle them with heavy troops. This is the most difficult thing.

"This..." The Japanese commander was silent. He really couldn't think of any other way now.

"What do the rest of you have to say?!" Seishiro Sakagaki looked at the other Japanese officers again.

"Division Commander, a large part of the reason why we were unable to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army was because the Eighth Route Army ran too fast.
Before we could form a siege, the Eighth Route Army ran out. Therefore, I think we should start by compressing the Eighth Route Army’s living and activity space! "At this time, another Japanese commander said.

"Yes, as long as we can compress their scope of activities, we will have a greater chance of encircling them and annihilating them.

The most important thing is that once our people find their traces, they should immediately form a circle around them!

In this way, we can eliminate them quickly! "

"The key is, as far as I know, there is no radio station from the Eighth Route Brigade down to the first level. In other words, once they are surrounded, it will be difficult to notify other troops to retreat. In this way, we can defeat them one by one. !”

Other officers also started talking one after another.

After having some ideas, their ideas began to become clearer.

…………

At this time, Li Jin was also bidding farewell to Li Yunlong. "Captain, I will send two companies to escort you back to the base." Li Jin said that the New Regiment brought too many weapons. If there was any emergency, he was worried that the New Regiment would not be able to cope with it.

"No need, you kid may have other plans later, you can do your job, I'm still safe here." Li Yunlong said.

He knew that Li Jin had other actions behind him. After all, if he wanted to attract all the Japs' attention to Li Jin, he needed to piss them off and force them to focus on encircling and suppressing Li Jin.

"It's okay. You have brought too much stuff these past few days. If you encounter any problems, you will be safer with the special operations company here," Li Jin said.

Now the top priority is for the weapons in Li Yunlong's hands to be transported to the brigade headquarters.

"Captain, I think what Li Jin said makes sense. It would be safer to take the two companies back together." Zhao Gang said at this time.

Since seeing the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion, he has great trust in the special operations battalion.

Although Li Jin only sent two companies to escort, he felt that it was enough. These two companies could match the combat effectiveness of three regiments.

"Captain, just do what Li Jin said." Deputy Commander Qian also spoke. Although Staff Zhong didn't speak, his meaning was very obvious.

"Okay." After some consideration, Li Yunlong agreed. After all, weapons are more important. These weapons are related to the future development of the Eighth Route Army.

"Captain, then I will ask the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooting company to go with you." Li Jin said, anyway, they will not take any action against the Japanese in the recent period, so these two are not needed for the time being. even.

"Okay." Li Yunlong nodded. With these two companies around, the safety of going back is basically more guaranteed.

"By the way, you kid, stay away from that guy Xiao Yu. He is not a good person, do you hear me?" Li Yunlong warned.

Apparently Xiao Yu wanted to poach Li Jin, which made Li Yunlong wary.

"That's not the case!" Li Jin was dumbfounded. Xiao Yu had just mentioned poaching him. Why did Li Yunlong tell him to stay away from Xiao Yu?

"Anyway, you kid, stay away from him." Li Yunlong said, although he knew that Li Jin would not be poached, but what if.

"Yes, yes, I'll stay away from him." Li Jin nodded helplessly.

"That's pretty much it." After hearing this, Li Yunlong smiled with satisfaction.

Zhao Gang and Deputy Captain Qian also shook their heads helplessly.

"Monk, after returning to the new regiment, protect the regiment leader and don't run away." Li Jin looked at Monk Wei who was not far away and warned him.

"Don't worry, I will protect the leader." Monk Wei came over and said. He had killed a few Japs this time. The only thing that made him feel a little pity was that he couldn't fight the Japs in close combat and couldn't use his skills. Fists and kicks.

"Yes." Li Jin patted Monk Wei on the shoulder, and then called Lu Changgong and Xiao Jinming.

"Batalion Commander, you are looking for us." Lu Changgong came over and said.

Monk Wei looked at Lu Changgong and felt that this man was also dangerous. With his size and the thick calluses on the back of his hands, he looked like Lian Jiazi.

"The two of you will escort the regiment leader back to the base of the new regiment later." Li Jin ordered.

"Understood!" The two nodded.

"Captain, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll take the people back to the base first." Li Jin said.

"Well, go back." Li Yunlong nodded.

"Regiment leader, political commissar, deputy commander, chief of staff! Take care!" Li Jin saluted several people before turning around and leaving.

When Xu Qingfeng on the side was about to follow Li Jin, he was stopped by Li Yunlong.

"Xu Qingfeng, wait a moment." Li Yunlong said.

"Captain, is there anything else?!" Xu Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

"You should pay more attention to Li Jin. Don't let this kid go too far. It's not good if he really makes the Japanese go crazy." Li Yunlong warned.

Although he didn't think the Japs could wipe out Li Jin even if they made the Japs mad, he still had to take things easy and not go too far.

As long as he attracts the Japs' attention, he has completed his mission. Li Jin doesn't need to go overboard with the rest.

"Don't worry, captain, I will do it." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said, even if Li Yunlong didn't say anything, he would look at Li Jin more.

If he thinks the battle is unwinnable, he will definitely not agree to Li Jin's risk. Of course, he thinks he can fight it, and Li Jin also thinks he can fight it, so that's another matter.

"With you watching over him, I feel more at ease. Okay, you can go back too." Li Yunlong smiled and waved his hand to let Xu Qingfeng leave.

But for some reason, he always felt that Xu Qingfeng would follow Li Jin and do some mischief that day.

It shouldn't be the case, Xu Qingfeng doesn't have this kind of character.

"Captain, you are worried about Li Jin." Zhao Gang said.

"How can you rest assured? This kid is damn ready to attack Taiyuan." Li Yunlong said, if it were him, it would be just a boast, but Li Jin really dared to take action.

"Li Jin, it's a bit, well..." Zhao Gang fell silent as he spoke. He wanted to find some of Li Jin's advantages to talk about, but found that Li Jin did have many advantages, but at the same time, he also had disadvantages, that is, he was too Can cause trouble.

He had only met Li Jin a few times, and Li Jin already gave him this feeling.

If no one cares about Li Jin, wouldn't this kid cause trouble? !

"Forget it, no matter what, this kid still has some sense of proportion. Let's go back!" Li Yunlong shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.

"Speaking of which, Li Jin has recruited more than 700 new soldiers this time. Including the original soldiers, the number is already 2000. Does this guy have enough supplies?" Zhao Gang said as he walked.

This time, the number of recruits Li Jin received was 200 more than the number given to him by the brigade commander.

"Don't worry about this. I don't dare to say anything about Li Jin's other abilities, but when it comes to fighting the Japanese and getting supplies, if this guy takes second place, no one would dare to take first place. Instead of worrying that he doesn't have supplies, it's better to Worry about us." Li Yunlong said.

In terms of supplies, the last thing to worry about is Li Jin's special operations battalion. If it is really provided, based on the food that was not enough to eat twice a day before, it can feed the entire division for several months at least. Just looking at it this way is enough to know how much supplies the special operations battalion has.

"That's true." Zhao Gang nodded. It seemed that he was thinking too much. The special operations camp was in a difficult situation and it was probably better than other troops. He was also worried about the special operations camp. He really was thinking too much.
