Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

To be honest, Li Jin did not expect that Chu Yunfei would take the initiative to attack the Japanese, delaying them and leaving them no chance to escape.

Li Jin did not let Chu Yunfei do this, because actively attacking the Japanese would cause more casualties to Chu Yunfei and his men.

"I just want to kill more Japanese devils." Chu Yunfei said with a smile. To be honest, judging from the fact that Mu Jin did not let him take the initiative to attack the Japanese devils, Mu Jin is indeed a good person.

At least they treat them as their own people. If it were someone else, they would probably want them to push forward.

"That's right! Captain Chu, if that's the case, then it's time for us to split up into two groups to support the others!" Li Jin said with a smile.

To some extent, Chu Yunfei has a broad view of the overall situation, otherwise he would not have gained so many fans.

"Okay!" Chu Yunfei nodded.

Li Jin decisively took half of his men and went north to provide support.

"Qian Bojun, leave some people to take care of the seriously wounded, and the rest of you follow me to support the battlefield in the south!" Chu Yunfei gave the order. After he left some people to take care of the wounded, he took the rest of the people to support in the south.

.........

"Battalion Commander, the regiment commander should still be supporting us here. Send him a telegram quickly and ask him to go to the south to support us!" Xu Qingfeng followed Li Jin and said.

Li Yunlong and his men probably don't know the situation here yet and will rush over here, but they have already wiped out the Japanese here, so there is no point for Li Yunlong to come here.

"Don't worry, the commander knows us and may not necessarily come over here." Li Jin said this with some confidence. He asked Li Yunlong to come over here just to be on the safe side.

But Li Yunlong shouldn't have asked all the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment in the east to rush here.

"We understand, but what if?" Xu Qingfeng reminded that Li Yunlong did know them very well, but what if he chose to be conservative this time and came directly over?

Although there would be no big problem if he came directly over, having Li Yunlong go to support other battlefields in advance would indeed reduce more casualties.

"You're right. Let's send a telegram to the commander." Upon hearing this, Li Jin asked Xu Qingfeng to quickly send a telegram to Li Yunlong. At the same time, he also sent a telegram to Han Mingyuan and others, telling Han Mingyuan that they were already on their way to provide support.

.........

On the other hand, Li Yunlong did not follow Li Jin's instructions and let all the soldiers support Li Jin. Instead, he led the team to the south to provide support.

"Captain, Li Jin asked us to support the east, why are we running to the south now?" Zhao Gang said as he ran.

Li Yunlong is not obeying orders. You know, the brigade commander has instructed Li Yunlong to follow Li Jin's arrangements.

But now he has taken the initiative to lead his troops to the south to provide support.

"Old Zhao, you still don't know Li Jin well enough. He asked us to go east to provide support just to add an extra layer of insurance.
I'm just afraid that the devils will run away, but with Li Jin's ability, how could the devils over there escape!" Li Yunlong said seriously.

Zhao Gang didn't understand Li Jin. Didn't he understand that the guy fought based on his complete certainty. To say he was 90% sure was simply an exaggeration.

Therefore, he was sure that Li Jin did not need him to lead troops to support him, and he could eliminate all the Japanese devils in the east by himself.

This is also the reason why he dared to take the initiative to provide support to the south.

"But what if Li Jin and his men fail to kill the Japanese? If we are not there by then, won't the Japanese escape?" Zhao Gang was still a little worried. Although what Li Yunlong said did make sense, he was still afraid that something might go wrong.

"So I sent a company of soldiers to block the enemy in advance. As long as we can stop the enemy for a while, Li Jin and his men will be able to catch up with them.
Those devils, don't even think about escaping under Li Jin's nose!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

He had made sufficient preparations before he dared to lead the team to the south for support. Otherwise, if something unexpected really happened, the brigade commander would beat him to death.

"In short, don't worry, there will be no problem!" Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang to put his mind at ease.

"Yes, Political Commissar, you don't know Li Jin as well as we do." Staff Officer Zhong on the side also spoke up.

They did this because they understand Li Jin.

Zhao Gang stopped talking and had to continue on his way quietly.

Not long after, a telegraph operator hurried to Li Yunlong.

"Don't talk for now. If I'm not mistaken, this telegram should be from Li Jin asking us to go to the south for support, right?!" Li Yunlong asked the telegraph operator not to speak and started guessing instead.

"Commander, you are amazing. Captain Li did say that. They said that the Japanese in the east have been wiped out by them, and asked the commander to lead the team to support the south. By the way, Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment has also led people to support." The telegraph operator said hurriedly.

He really admired the team leader. He didn't expect that he could guess so accurately.

"Let me see the telegram." Zhao Gang quickly took the telegram from the telegraph operator and took a look. It was indeed the same as what Li Yunlong said.

"Old Zhao, now you believe it, right? I told you I know this Li Jin guy very well. Originally, I didn't plan to send anyone to support the east, but I sent them just to be on the safe side." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

He also knew that this battle was very important, so even though he trusted Li Jin very much, he did not dare to be too careless.

"Old Li, you are amazing. You can guess this." Zhao Gang couldn't help but admire him. If they had waited until they were heading east to provide support before receiving the telegram, it would probably be too late if they were rushing south.

"Hehe, Lao Zhao, I admit that I am not as educated as you, but when it comes to fighting, I am a veteran, and I have fought with Li Jin for so long. In this regard, you are not as good as me." Li Yunlong smiled with a bit of pride on his face.

"Well, you are right. I really need to learn from the captain." Zhao Gang nodded without refuting.

"Okay, let's continue on our way and don't let that kid Chu Yunfei take all the credit." Li Yunlong said. He didn't want to be later than Chu Yunfei.

.........

A valley on the north side of the Yunli Mountains.

Han Mingyuan and his men are lying in ambush here, and this is the fastest route for the Japanese in the north to support the east.

"Commander, I don't know what's going on with Captain Mu. I think a fight has broken out." Kong Sheng said.

"Not only will they fight, I estimate that the Japanese will be forced to flee." Han Mingyuan said with a smile. They knew the combat effectiveness of Li Jin's troops best.

"That's true, but I don't know if Captain Mu can kill more than 3,000 Japanese devils in such a short time." Kong Sheng said. Although Mu Jin and his men were very powerful and it was expected that they could kill so many Japanese devils, it would probably take some time.

"Don't worry. Although I haven't had much contact with Mu Jin, I still know him a little bit. What's more, there are people from the New 1st Group heading over there.
The devils can't escape at all, we just need to stay here and wait quietly for the devils from the north to arrive." Han Mingyuan was not worried at all.

He was only worried about whether he could kill tens of thousands of Japanese devils in one go. This was the key.

"Understood!" Kong Sheng nodded. "Commander, we received a telegram from Captain Mu!" a telegraph operator came over and said.

Han Mingyuan and Kong Sheng looked at each other.

"This telegram is definitely from Mu Jin asking for support!" Han Mingyuan said.

"Yes, Sir!" said the telegraph operator.

"See, that's what I told you. With Mu Jin's strength, how could he let those devils get away? What's more, the New 1st Regiment is also providing support." Han Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"The commander is right! He was right! Captain Mu is really amazing! I was wondering before whether we could kill so many devils this time, but now I am sure!" Kong Sheng couldn't help but smile.

He has always hoped to make another great contribution, and this time it is this great contribution. Maybe, with this effort, he can become the deputy brigade commander in one go!
.........

At half past twelve in the morning, in the north, Yukutaro was still resting in the tent.

Suddenly, Ichiro Chojo hurriedly lifted the curtain and rushed in.

"Captain, something bad has happened." Ichiro Chojo shouted loudly in an urgent tone, waking up Yukutaro.

"Baga! What happened?! Could it be that the enemy has broken through to our side?!" Yukutaro said unhappily. He was not deaf. The enemy had not broken through to their side at all, otherwise, the fight would have started by now.

"The enemy did not break out from our side, but they started to break out in the direction of the brigade commander! This is a telegram sent by the brigade commander, asking us to provide support quickly to prevent the enemy from escaping!" Ichiro Chojo said hurriedly.

After receiving the telegram, he rushed to report as soon as possible.

"What?! Quick, gather the soldiers, we're going to support the brigade commander!" After hearing this, Yujitaro panicked and gave orders quickly.

He knew the combat effectiveness of those enemies. If the brigade commander failed to stop them, he might even be killed by the enemy.

If that were the case, his plan to resume his position as wing commander would be completely ruined.

"Don't worry, Captain, I have already asked people to gather the soldiers!" said Ichiro Chojo.

"Yo, Chojo-kun, you are indeed a capable man." Yukutaro smiled upon hearing that.

"Captain, I looked at the map. The fastest route to support the brigade commander is this way. It will only take more than two hours to get there." Ichiro Chojo took out a map and pointed to a route on it.

"Do we need to cross this valley?!" Yujitaro suddenly hesitated. He was really scared by the enemy. He was somewhat nervous about this kind of terrain that was prone to ambush.

"Captain, this is the fastest route. If we are late, the brigade commander might get into trouble.

Moreover, I estimate that the enemy's forces are basically concentrated in the east, so there is no ambush here, unless the enemies are fools and don't want to escape." Chojo Ichiro's analysis is reasonable.

General Yukutaro was also convinced. Indeed, the enemy's goal was to break out and they would not divide their troops to ambush them. This was a stupid thing to do.

Thinking of this, Yukutaro finally let go of his worries.

Soon, nearly four thousand Japanese soldiers gathered together, and Yu Jiutaro quickly led the team towards Shanglin Jinyou.

…………

In the south, Ichiro Fukagawa had not dared to sleep much because he had been analyzing the direction in which the enemy might break out these two days.

At first, he thought the enemy would not break out to the east because they had been harassing the troops led by the brigade commander.

This will keep the brigade commander's troops on alert, and the enemy will not be able to break out to the east. Otherwise, there will be heavy casualties, and the enemy will not do such a stupid thing.

But now think about it, the commander of this group of enemies has always been very cunning, maybe the enemy will break out from the east.

But Ichiro Fukagawa was not sure. He wanted to send people to support the brigade commander in the east, but he was worried that if he sent people away, what if the enemy did not break out from the east but broke out from his side? !

Given the combat effectiveness of this group of enemies, Ichiro Fukagawa could not guarantee that he could stop the enemy with the remaining men.

If he fails to stop the enemy, he will need to take full responsibility. At that time, even if he wants to be promoted, he will be blocked because of unfavorable combat.

"I always feel that the enemy will break out to the east. This is really difficult. Should I take a gamble?!" Ichiro Fukagawa hesitated.

If he bets right, he will succeed in getting promoted. If he bets wrong, he will be punished.

After thinking about it carefully, Ichiro Fukagawa sighed deeply and decided to give up and be safe. He didn't want any stain on his career.

"Captain, something happened!" At this time, a Japanese lieutenant colonel ran in.

"Has the brigade commander been attacked by the enemy?!" Ichiro Fukagawa said directly.

"Um, yes, yes, the enemy is breaking through towards the brigade commander!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was stunned when he heard this, and then said.

"Hurry up and gather the soldiers, we are going to support the brigade commander!" Ichiro Fukagawa gave the order. He guessed that the enemy commander would most likely break out from the east, and now it has come true.

It’s a pity that he only understands it now!
But it’s no big problem. As for the brigade commander, it’s no problem to hold out until they arrive.

"Hi!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded, then turned and left.

"I want to see what you look like. You actually made us suffer such a big loss!" Ichiro Fukagawa sneered. He was very interested in this enemy who did not play by the rules.

Soon, the soldiers gathered and Ichiro Fukagawa led the team and rushed towards Jinyou Shanglin via the nearest route.

.........

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was around 1:30 in the morning.

Yu Jiutaro was still leading the soldiers, rushing quickly towards Shanglin Jinyou.

"Captain, I don't know why the brigade commander hasn't replied. Could something have happened?!" The telegraph operator ran over to report the situation to Yukutaro.

He had been waiting for half an hour, but there was no reply from the brigade commander, so he came to report to Yukutaro.

"Baga! What nonsense are you talking about! It's only been a short time, how could something happen to the brigade commander!" Yukutaro cursed angrily and even slapped the telegraph operator.
