Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 786

"That's true. Let's forget it." Seeing the brigade commander's big reaction, the political commissar quickly gave up the idea.

"We have to inform the boss about this important matter first." The brigade commander was about to call the boss, but considering that the boss should still be sleeping, he gave up the idea.

"Forget it, let's rest first." The brigade commander said, and got up to leave. He hadn't slept well in the past few days and had been waiting for news from Li Jin.

Now that the good news has finally arrived, he can sleep peacefully.

.........

At this time, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters.

Commander Yan looked at the casualty report in his hand and fell into deep thought for a moment.

After only one day of fighting with the Japanese, their casualties had reached nearly two thousand. If the number of casualties continued at this rate every day, within half a month, his thirty thousand troops would be wiped out.

"Commander, the Japanese came here well prepared this time. It was expected that there would be such heavy casualties on the first day." Commander Xu said to comfort him.

It was normal that the Japanese launched a fierce attack on the first day. After all, the Japanese had planes and cannons, and their equipment was much more powerful than theirs.

But it is impossible for the Japanese to attack so fiercely every day.

"Well, I understand. But I don't know what the situation is like on Chu Yunfei's side. If they can't launch an effective attack, we will have to retreat in a few days." Commander Yan nodded and then talked about Chu Yunfei.

Now we have to hope that Chu Yunfei can bring some good news, otherwise, he will only be able to hold on for four days at most and then plan to retreat.

Originally, he didn't plan to hold on for too long. If Chu Yunfei hadn't said that he could come to support and eliminate most of the Japanese, he wouldn't want to take the risk!
"Commander, the time has not come yet. Let's wait a little longer. I believe there will be good news from Chu Yunfei!" Commander Xu said.

It has only been three days since Commander Yan mentioned a week, so there are still a few days left.

"I hope so. If they can do it, our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will shock the whole country this time!" Commander Yan thought that if they succeeded, their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would be able to get rid of the reputation of not being active in resistance.

"So, we need to hold on for a few more days and wait for news from Chu Yunfei!" Master Xu spoke quickly. If you want to gain great benefits, you need to take risks.

How is it possible to gain huge profits without taking any risks? But it is not impossible, you can do it in your dreams.

Just as Commander Yan was about to speak, a telegraph operator rushed in and accidentally fell.

"Why are you panicking?!" Commander Yan couldn't help but frowning when he saw this and started scolding.

"Commander, I'm sorry, there's a telegram from Chu Yunfei!" The telegraph operator quickly got up, came to Commander Yan and handed the telegram to Commander Yan.

"Commander, this telegram is somewhat shocking, you must be prepared!" The telegraph operator couldn't help but remind.

Commander Yan took the telegram and started reading it. He didn't take the telegram operator's reminder seriously at all. He didn't think the telegram sent by Chu Yunfei could be that shocking. It was probably just about annihilating one or two thousand Japanese devils.

“Huh?! This, this is…” After reading it, Commander Yan’s pupils shrank, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

"Commander, what did Chu Yunfei say? He killed a lot of Japanese devils, right?!" Commander Xu couldn't help but ask.

He felt that it was Chu Yunfei's side that really killed a lot of Japanese devils, which was why Commander Yan was like this.

It seems that Chu Yunfei and his team are moving very quickly. In just a few days, they have achieved considerable success.

"They not only killed a lot of Japanese soldiers, they wiped out all the Japanese soldiers who entered the mountains! More than 12,000 Japanese soldiers! Just tonight!" Commander Yan still couldn't believe it when he said this number. While speaking, he handed the telegram to Commander Xu.

"What?! Completely wiped out?! All the Japanese invaders who entered the mountain were wiped out in one night?!" Upon hearing this, Commander Xu's voice became louder and he hurriedly read the telegram.

After reading it, Master Xu took a deep breath and even pinched himself, wondering if he had read the number wrong. It should be 1,200 people instead of more than 12,000. However, he was not wrong. It was this number.

"Commander, could this telegram be fake?!" Commander Xu was a little bit unconvinced, even though he had been the one who supported Chu Yunfei the most before.

But now after seeing this telegram, Master Xu no longer dared to believe it.

After all, more than 12,000 Japanese soldiers were wiped out in one night. This was really exaggerated. It was the first time he had seen such a telegram since the Japanese invasion.

"You ask me how I know?!" Commander Yan said unhappily. He was not with Chu Yunfei, so how could he know whether it was true or not.

"Commander, could it be that something happened to Chu Yunfei? The Japanese stole Chu Yunfei's telegram and got the code book, and then sent us this telegram.
The purpose is to make us continue to fight the devils to the end. If we try to escape, we will suffer heavy casualties! "Master Xu even suspected that Chu Yunfei was killed by the devils! Then he sent such a telegram.

"You are overthinking it. How could the Japanese know our plan? Besides, the number of enemy kills in this telegram is so huge.
If it was really sent by the devils, don't they know that it's an exaggeration? "Commander Yan couldn't help but complain when he heard Master Xu's outrageous guess.

If something really happened to Chu Yunfei, he would probably destroy the radio and the code book immediately. How could he give the Japanese a chance to get the radio and the code book?

Moreover, even if the Japanese got hold of the data, they would not send it to him, which would make it easier for him to lead his men to retreat directly.

"That's true. It seems like I'm a little too nervous." After hearing this, Master Xu also thought that he was thinking too much.

What's more, Chu Yunfei has Mu Jin's Northeast Army on his side. Unless the Japanese can defeat Mu Jin's troops, nothing will happen to Chu Yunfei.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Mu Jin bought Chu Yunfei, regardless of Chu Yunfei's retreat.

But, if that were the case, Chu Yunfei would have probably sent a telegram to say so.

"This telegram seems to be true. You should ask Chu Yunfei. It would be best if he sends a more detailed combat report." Commander Yan thought about it and chose to temporarily believe that the telegram was true.

"Yes!" Master Xu nodded and immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Chu Yunfei.

"Commander, how did Chu Yunfei and his team do this?! This is too amazing!!" Master Xu was a little curious about this. If the telegram was true, how did Chu Yunfei and his team do this? ? !
"Isn't there a New 1st Regiment? They should also be involved. However, the specific plan still depends on what Chu Yunfei says." Commander Yan thought of the New 1st Regiment that was transferred by the Eighth Route Army.

Chu Yunfei said before that he would stay and was sure that he could kill more than an entire brigade of Japanese soldiers. Now that the new regiment has arrived, the chances of winning are even greater.

"Well, hiss... I think this Northeast Army may be many times more powerful than we thought. They are definitely several times stronger than the devils.
Then, we can cooperate with the 358th Regiment and the New 1st Regiment to wipe out all the Japanese invaders in the mountains. Commander, what do you think? " Commander Xu asked Commander Yan for his opinion.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the Northeast Army was indeed the main force with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Chu Yunfei had mentioned the strength of this army more than once.

The telegram was full of praise for this Northeast Army unit.

"Very likely!" Commander Yan also agreed with this statement. He was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment. Although they had been trained for a long time, those soldiers were all recruits with no combat experience.

"Commander, do you think we can win over this troop?!" Commander Xu brought up the idea again. In fact, when he sent money to Mu Jin, he had already instructed people to win over the other side's soldiers, but it seemed to be of no use.

"Win over?! You wouldn't... have already done it, right?!" Upon hearing this, Commander Yan looked at Commander Xu. He knew his subordinate quite well.

"Sure enough, nothing can escape the commander's eyes." Commander Xu felt a little guilty, but still admitted it. If he didn't admit it, Commander Yan might investigate it himself, and then he would be in trouble.

"What was the result of the attempt to win over the troops?!" Commander Yan did not pursue the matter but asked back. He was now very interested in this army.

"I didn't win over any of them." Upon hearing this, Commander Xu lowered his head. To be honest, he didn't expect this outcome. You know, he offered the position of company commander to all the soldiers, but others were unwilling to come.

"What conditions are you offering? Are they too low?!" Commander Yan frowned. It was very strange that he couldn't even win over a single soldier.

"The position of company commander, and you will get five hundred dollars as soon as you come!" Commander Xu replied. The conditions he offered were not low. He gave the other party the opportunity to become a company commander just by being a soldier.

You know, it takes a lot of time for a soldier to be promoted to company commander, but the soldiers of the Northeast Army seemed to look down on the positions they were given and regarded money as dirt.

"This condition is indeed not low." Commander Yan said and fell silent.

"Commander, I heard from my subordinates that the discipline of this unit is very strict, and there are strict requirements on the style of doing things." Commander Xu continued.

"Tsk, why does a unit with no background have such strict discipline?!" Commander Yan was also a little confused.

No one is in charge of this army, and no one will impose any punishment. So why does Mu Jin want to train the soldiers so strictly? Isn't it enough for them to win the battle?

"I'm not sure. Anyway, I think if we can pull this troop over, our strength will be enhanced. We just need to let Mu Jin help us train the troops!" Commander Xu continued.

In fact, what he wanted was Mu Jin's method of training troops. Mu Jin's troops were so powerful because he must have developed his own training method, which made his soldiers more powerful than the Japanese.

"If we want to win him over, what position do you think we should give him?!" Commander Yan asked back.

Mu Jin's ability was extraordinary. He commanded the 358th Regiment and Han Mingyuan's troops himself, causing such heavy casualties to the Japanese.

If the position is low, the other party probably won’t come.

He also felt that it would be inappropriate if the position was too high, after all, Mu Jin used to be from the Northeast Army.

"I think that with his ability, he can at least be a division commander or even an army commander!" Commander Xu said after a moment of hesitation.

"What a joke, he was made a division commander or corps commander right after he arrived?! What will the others think?! They have followed me for many years, and now he is just a division commander or corps commander.

Mu Jin treats them as equals as soon as he arrives, will they obey? ! "Commander Yan asked back.

The division commanders and army commanders under him had all followed him for many years. He felt it was inappropriate for Mu Jin to be treated as an equal as soon as he arrived, not to mention them.

"But Mu Jin is very capable. He is definitely qualified for these positions. Moreover, he killed those devils. Just based on his military merits, he can get this position, right?!" Master Xu continued.

Judging from the current performance, Mu Jin is very capable. At the very least, the fact that he can easily command seven or eight thousand people to fight proves that he has the ability to command a division or even an army.

"Forget it. I don't think Mu Jin will join us. Don't forget, he asked us for tens of thousands of dollars to cooperate with us. Together with Han Mingyuan, the total is more than 100,000 dollars.

He has a small army of a thousand men, but he got so much money. If we divide it equally, every soldier can get a lot of money. Do you think he will join us? !
Or, how much do you think we need to spend to invite him? ! " Commander Yan gave up the idea of ​​winning over Mu Jin.

Because he just remembered that Mu Jin asked for a lot of money when cooperating with them.

The other party is very greedy for money, and not just ordinary greed. If they want the other party to do something, they have to spend more money.

Besides, Chu Yunfei and the others must have thought about winning over Mu Jin, but they were probably rejected by Mu Jin. If such a force really came to his side, he would suspect whether the other party had some purpose.

"That's true. Let's just forget it." After hearing this, Master Xu also gave up the idea.

Indeed, Mu Jin was too greedy for money. He dared to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars just for a cooperation. If it were anyone else, who would dare to ask for such a high price?

But, it must be said that these dollars were well spent. At the very least, Chu Yunfei and his men benefited greatly. The key point was that so many Japanese were killed, and all the credit could be attributed to their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The benefits gained from these efforts are more valuable than the money paid.

"Mu Jin is a man that can only be cooperated with. As for winning him over, forget it. He can't afford the price! Besides, he may not tell others about his training methods.

Isn't he worried that one day we will learn it and then turn against him? ! " Commander Yan continued.

Before, he thought he could win Mu Jin over, but now after careful analysis, he found that the price to pay to win Mu Jin over was a bit too high.

In this case, it is better not to win them over and just cooperate if there is a chance. As for the rest, forget it.
