Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Strange, why did they die here?!" The Japanese lieutenant frowned, a little confused.

Why did these more than one hundred soldiers die in the direction of leaving the mountain? !
Could it be that he was shot dead by the enemy while entering the mountain? !

But that doesn't make sense. If they were killed while entering the mountains, their commander would not have abandoned their bodies. He would have definitely ordered their bodies to be burned and would not have left them exposed in the wilderness.

If the body is left exposed in the wilderness, the soul will never be able to return to the empire.

"Lieutenant, could it be that they were wounded in the battle with the enemy? They were escorted out, but ended up being ambushed by the enemy here!" The Japanese second lieutenant stated the most likely scenario.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but the enemies shouldn't have been driven into the mountains. How could there still be enemies outside?!" The Japanese lieutenant nodded, then became a little confused.

"Could it be that, in addition to the enemies in the mountains, there is another group of unknown enemies outside rushing over?!" When the Japanese lieutenant thought of this possibility, cold sweat broke out on his back.

If this is the case, it means that the enemy in the mountain is most likely just a bait, and the real enemy is always outside the mountain!
The enemies took advantage of the brigade commander chasing the enemies into the mountains and surrounded him from behind.

"Lieutenant, if this is the case, the soldiers who enter the mountains may really be wiped out!" The Japanese second lieutenant's hair stood on end and he felt terrified.

They knew how powerful the enemies entering the mountains were. If they cooperated with more enemies, they might be able to wipe out all the soldiers entering the mountains.

No wonder the major said that the soldiers who entered the mountains were likely to have been wiped out.

"We can't draw any conclusions now. We need to wait and see. I wonder if there are any gains in the other three directions." The Japanese lieutenant calmed himself down, because things might not be as they thought.

But this idea has been in my mind and can't be shaken off.

.........

386th Brigade, Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander received a telegram from Li Yunlong.

The brigade commander couldn't help but smile when he saw Li Yunlong and his men successfully cooperate with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to wipe out the invading Japanese.

"I didn't expect that Li Jin and his team actually did it. I thought some of the Japanese would be able to escape." The political commissar who was watching on the side also said with a smile.

He was not surprised that Li Jin was able to kill the Japanese soldiers who entered the mountains, because the Japanese soldiers who entered the mountains did not carry any heavy weapons.

However, the strength of the Japanese invaders who attacked the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s base should not be underestimated. It was truly amazing that Li Jin was able to kill so many of them.

"It's not all thanks to Li Jin and his team. If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army hadn't cooperated, the Japanese might have been able to escape." The brigade commander did not attribute all the credit to Li Jin.

After all, if it were only Li Jin, it would be impossible to kill so many devils.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to cooperate so well. I was really worried that they would delay time and allow the New 1st Regiment to suffer heavy casualties before cooperating." The political commissar touched his chin.

"They might really do that. This time, the New 1st Regiment has truly shown its strength in front of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

It is normal for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to feel threatened, but I guess it was Commander Yan who gave the death order.
Or maybe Li Jin threatened the other party, which is why this happened. "The brigade commander's analysis was reasonable.

"Well, if it was Li Jin, he would indeed think far ahead, and it is normal for him to do so. The key is that Commander Yan dare not underestimate the combat effectiveness of Li Jin's special operations battalion.
If Li Jin is really offended, he will probably be worried that he will not have peace in the future. ” The political commissar nodded.

"No matter what, they have made great contributions this time." The brigade commander said. Naturally, the first credit this time goes to Li Jin, there is no doubt about it.

"Huh?! The special operations battalion also suffered casualties in this operation." The political commissar suddenly saw the number of casualties in the special operations battalion mentioned by Li Yunlong in the telegram.

"This is the first time that a soldier from the special operations battalion has been killed, but Li Jin seems to be fine," said the brigade commander.

No matter how powerful the special operations battalion is, it is still composed of human beings after all, so it is understandable that there will be casualties.

"Yes, the soldiers who died were not those trained by Li Jin himself, so although he was sad, he was not too sad." The political commissar said. Fortunately, the brigade commander was smart and asked Li Jin to recruit more soldiers. In this way, Li Jin would not be able to train everyone personally.

"Brigade Commander, Battalion Commander Li has a telegram!" At this time, a telegraph operator ran in.

After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander began to read it. It contained Li Jin's battle report and an explanation of why he could not come back to report. Li Jin had to deal with the situation of those sacrificed soldiers.

"Come to think of it, I've always been curious about why this kid Li Jin keeps making so much money. Now I understand a little bit. He's thinking about how the families of the soldiers will live after they die." The political commissar finally reacted at this moment.

At first he thought that Li Jin wanted to keep so much money to buy supplies, but now it seems that this is not entirely the case.

"He actually told me about this." The brigade commander said. Li Jin told him about this and he could understand it.

"It seems that Li Jin is better with you." After hearing this, the political commissar's tone became a little sour. Li Jin actually didn't tell him about this, but he didn't take it too seriously.

"This also shows that Li Jin is not only good to the people, but also better to the soldiers. He really treats the soldiers as his own people!" The brigade commander was very pleased. It was worth it that he valued Li Jin so much and the other party did not let him down.

"Li Jin is indeed very good. There are really few people like him!" the political commissar nodded and said.

"I'll go report the situation to the boss first. It's such a big thing, we have to make the boss happy!" The brigade commander stood up and left.

After the two men arrived at the communications room, the brigade commander called the boss.

"It's about Li Jin annihilating the Japanese, right?!" The boss's voice came from the phone.

"Boss, you guessed all this?!" The brigade commander also laughed after hearing this.

"Good boy, you really didn't let me down. Let him come to the brigade headquarters and report the situation. Then have someone bring him to the headquarters. I want to meet him in person!" The boss said with joy.

"No problem, but Li Jin will probably arrive later." said the brigade commander.

"What is he going to do? Are you assigning him another task?!" the boss became confused.

"No, I didn't assign the mission because..." The brigade commander quickly told the story about the sacrifice of soldiers in the special operations battalion and Li Jin going back to deal with it.

"Is that so? Okay, then when he comes to the brigade headquarters, please call me again." After hearing this, the boss understood.

"Understood!" the brigade commander responded. ……

Three days later, the Japanese lieutenant was still about three miles away from the place where Shanglin Jinyou was annihilated.

"That group of enemies is so despicable. They actually ambushed the wounded who were being sent out of the mountain along the way. They are so shameless!" The Japanese second lieutenant cursed as he walked.

In the past few days, they could see the bodies of hundreds of soldiers. It was obvious that these were wounded who were escorted out of the mountain and were about to be sent for treatment, but they were ambushed by the enemy and all died.

"That's not the case. As long as we can win the war, there's no such thing as shameless or not. We can only say that we didn't think about these things!" The Japanese lieutenant did not think that the other party was shameless.

After all, they used many methods to fight wars. If we talk about shamelessness, their use of poison gas bombs was even more shameless.

"That's true, but I'm still a little angry. What is going on?!" The Japanese second lieutenant still had an indignant look on his face.

To be honest, who would have thought that there were not only enemies in the mountains, but also enemies waiting outside.

"I thought about it carefully, and it seemed like the enemy had been planning for us from the beginning.
They deliberately angered us and showed great threats, forcing us to send people to encircle and suppress them.
Then, we just fell into the enemy's trap." The Japanese lieutenant began to analyze.

Judging from recent situations, it seems that the enemy did this on purpose, especially when the enemy sent troops to attack Linyin County, it was more like they deliberately exposed their position to let them know where they were.

With so many casualties and knowing the enemy's exact location, how could they not encircle and suppress them?

"Hiss... This enemy commander is too terrifying. He calculated all this from the very beginning! And then he led us step by step into the trap he set!" The Japanese second lieutenant gasped.

Who could have guessed this kind of calculation ability?! The main reason was that they didn't think that this was a trap set by the enemy and that the enemy's goal was to annihilate them!
There was no way. In the past, their troops, numbering more than 12,000 people, were able to defeat tens of thousands of Kuomintang troops and force them to flee in panic.

Now they were only facing a few thousand people. Although they had suffered a lot of casualties, they still did not think of it as a trap set by the enemy.

"Yes, that person is too scary. Of course, we were too careless and underestimated the enemy's strength. We also ignored the fact that the enemy could also call for support.

Or, when the enemy was setting up this trap, they sent someone to come secretly in advance, so that no one could find out!" The Japanese lieutenant had never felt so scared.

If it was a head-on confrontation, he would not be afraid, but the enemy was not only powerful, but also had such calculating ability. They would be no match for him at all.

"Well, that's definitely the case. However, even if they can annihilate the soldiers entering the mountains, there will definitely be heavy casualties!" The Japanese second lieutenant nodded, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he said the latter part.

He believed that no matter how powerful the enemy was, there would certainly be heavy casualties, and the empire's soldiers would not be annihilated so easily.

"This also indirectly shows that the enemy's combat effectiveness is far stronger than we thought, otherwise, they would not dare to do such a thing!" The Japanese lieutenant continued, saying that if the enemy did not have great confidence in the combat effectiveness of its troops, it would be impossible for them to dare to do this.

"I never thought that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could train such a powerful enemy." The Japanese second lieutenant sighed.

In the past, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was always suppressed and beaten by them, and they occupied wherever they went, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not dare to defend at all.

I didn't expect that the other party could quietly create such a powerful army.

.........

Five days later, Li Yunlong and his men finally returned to the base of the New 1st Regiment, because they did not encounter many Japanese devils along the way.

If he was not afraid of causing trouble, Li Yunlong would have wanted to capture a few counties and be happy about it, but he was stopped by Zhao Gang and Deputy Captain Qian.

When Li Yunlong returned to the village entrance, he saw Kong Jie and Li Wenying waiting there.

Li Yunlong took the New 1st Regiment away and asked the Independent Regiment to send people to defend the base.

"Old Li, what good stuff did you get this time? You have to give me half of it, at least!" Kong Jie walked forward and said with a smile.

"Damn it, you son of a bitch, you dare to open your mouth and ask for half of it. You really treat me as the landlord!" Li Yunlong laughed and cursed when he heard it.

“Hahahaha…” everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Damn it, Lao Li, you really made a fortune?! So many machine guns?!" Kong Jie glanced at the soldiers at the rear, and when he saw the light and heavy machine guns they were carrying, Kong Jie's eyes almost popped out.

"Are you envious? All these were obtained from the Japanese. This time, we wiped out two Japanese brigades in one go and seized countless supplies!" Li Yunlong couldn't help but show off, and the smile on his face never stopped.

After winning the battle, he liked to show off to Kong Jie and others.

"Don't give me that. It's because of Li Jin and the others that we are here. Otherwise, how can you expect to destroy an entire brigade of the Japanese? You'd have a hard time even defeating an entire regiment of the Japanese!" Kong Jie didn't give Li Yunlong any face and directly exposed him.

He had no doubt that the two Japanese brigades were wiped out, but it was Li Jin who did it. Although Li Yunlong also made a contribution, his role was no more than that of a handyman.

"Old Kong, I originally wanted to share some machine guns with you, but I didn't expect you to say that. It really hurts my heart. In that case, forget about the reward!" Li Yunlong had a heartbroken expression on his face.

"Hey, hey, hey... Stop it, Lao Li. It's my fault, Lao Kong. I shouldn't have doubted you. Let me apologize to you, okay?" Kong Jie became anxious when he heard this and quickly grabbed Li Yunlong.

This machine gun is a good thing. It can increase the firepower of their regiment and reduce casualties. For this, face is nothing.

"Hahaha, Lao Kong, I was just joking. The reward will be paid!" Li Yunlong laughed.

After all, he and Kong Jie are old comrades-in-arms, how could he get angry over just a few words!
"I knew you weren't that stingy." Kong Jie also laughed.

"But to be honest, how many Japanese did you kill?!" Kong Jie asked seriously.

"About 20,000. If we add the ones killed by Li Jin before, the number would probably be around 24,000 to 25,000." Li Yunlong thought for a moment and then said.

They went into the mountains and killed more than 12,000 Japanese soldiers. Together with those from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, there were probably about 8,000 to 9,000 Japanese soldiers. In addition, there were those killed by Li Jin earlier, so this was probably the number.

"Damn it, Li Jin is really awesome this time. He led the team to kill so many Japanese soldiers. The Japanese soldiers were seriously injured this time. I was wondering why there were so few Japanese soldiers in the independent regiment." Kong Jie said in surprise.
