Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 832

After hearing this, the bandit's face turned pale and he turned around and tried to run, but Lu Changgong was faster. After catching up with him, he grabbed the man by the back of the collar, threw him to the ground, and then pressed his knee on the bandit's neck.

With a click, the bandit's throat bone was broken and blood spurted out of his mouth. Lu Changgong's movements were smooth and easy, without any sense of dragging.

"Let's go and kill this gang of bandits." Li Jin didn't say much. He took the soldiers of the special operations battalion and went straight up the mountain. Not long after, gunshots were heard from the mountain from time to time.

Half an hour later, Li Jin and his men came down the mountain with a lot of supplies. More than 200 bandits on the mountain were all killed by them, leaving no one alive.

When Li Jin and his companions returned to the village, it was already night, but the villagers were waiting at the entrance of the village, holding torches for lighting.

"Captain Li, those bandits..." the old village chief stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry, all the bandits in Fulian Mountain have been killed by us. There are no bandits in this area anymore." Li Jin responded with a smile.

"Great."

"These damned people have finally been eliminated."

"It's good that they died! These beasts shouldn't be alive in this world!"

After hearing this, the villagers were all very happy and cheered. They all felt that those bandits deserved to be put to death!

"Old village chief, now that the bandits have been dealt with, it's time for us to leave." The reason why Li Jin came back was to let the villagers know that the bandits had been wiped out and they don't have to worry anymore!
"Captain Li, it's getting so late, why don't you stay for one night?" The old village chief tried to persuade them to stay, but the key point was that they hadn't finished what they were saying.

"No, we still have things to do and can't waste time. Thank you for your kindness!" Li Jin declined. They had to hurry on their way, and staying to deal with the bandits had already wasted some time.

"Well, Captain Li, we actually have something to ask of you." Seeing this, the old village chief said after a moment of hesitation.

"Just tell me, I will definitely help solve any problem I can," Li Jin replied.

"Can you let the young people in our village join the Eighth Route Army?!" the old village chief told the story.

Many young people also looked at Li Jin, and they all hoped to join the Eighth Route Army.

"Old village chief, I'm afraid it's not possible now. I have a mission and cannot bring anyone with me. However, after I complete the mission, I can come back and take them away." Li Jin said. If there were no mission, and there were so many young people willing to join the army, he would be more than willing to do so.

But unfortunately, he has to complete a mission now, so it is naturally impossible for him to bring these young people with him.

When the old village chief heard the first words, he thought Li Jin didn't want their people, but when he heard the second words, he immediately smiled.

"Okay, then Captain Li, remember to bring them with you when you come back." The old village chief said with a smile.

"No problem. By the way, I seized a lot of food on the mountain. You should divide the food equally according to the population." Li Jin said and winked at Liu Changshun and others.

The soldiers quickly moved several thousand kilograms of captured food to the front!
"Captain Li, how can we do this!" The old village chief quickly refused. Li Jin and his men saved the village and helped them get rid of the bandits. How could they take the food that Li Jin had seized?

"Old village chief, just accept it. It's inconvenient for me to carry it with me during the march. It will be a burden to me and I will have to throw it away," Li Jin explained.

What he said was indeed true. He didn't need to carry too much food and affect the marching speed.

"Well, thank you very much, Captain Li." After hearing this, the old village chief had no choice but to agree. He was very grateful to Li Jin and the others.

"By the way, this time because of the bandits, there are villagers whose families have been killed or injured. Distribute more food to them, do you understand?!" Li Jin reminded again.

Some villagers were brutally killed by bandits. Those who survived were given more food so that they could live a better life in the future.

"Don't worry, Captain Li, I will." The old village chief nodded.

"Fellow villagers, we will leave first. Take care." Li Jin said goodbye to the villagers, then left with the soldiers.

The old village chief and others also watched Li Jin and his group leave.

"Captain Li, remember to come back!" the old village chief shouted. He was worried that Li Jin would forget to come back, so he reminded him again.

"No problem." Li Jin waved his hand without turning his head.

Soon, the group disappeared from sight.

"Put the grain away first and start distributing it tomorrow. If anyone dares to take it secretly, don't blame me for being rude!" said the old village chief with a bit of majesty on his face.

Naturally, the villagers did not dare to disobey. They stepped forward and moved the grain to the village warehouse and stored it.

"Old village chief, do you think Captain Li and the others will not come back?!" a young man said to the old village chief!
"Impossible. Captain Li and his men are not that kind of people. He will not go back on his word once he has promised." The old village chief answered affirmatively.

"The Eighth Route Army is such a great army. Not only does it help us get rid of bandits, it also distributes food to us. It's so many times better than the National Army." The young man sighed.

"So, when you join the Eighth Route Army in the future, you must help others like them, and don't bully others at will, otherwise I will break your legs!" the old village chief warned.

"Don't worry, we will never bully anyone. By the way, where are Captain Li and the others going?!" The young people were a little confused. They seemed to have never heard of the Eighth Route Army nearby.

Li Jin and the others seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"They must have an important mission, and we can't help them anyway." The old village chief replied. How could he know what Li Jin and the others were going to do.

"I understand, they must be going to fight the Japanese!" the young man suddenly said.

"Nonsense, we have never heard of any Japanese invaders here." The old village chief retorted.

"That's right." The young man also felt that he was overthinking it. They had indeed not heard of any Japanese coming.

"Speaking of which, these Japanese devils are really beasts. They actually blew up the dike and caused a flood. It's so hateful!" The young man thought of last year's flood, which submerged their crops and caused heavy losses. Later he heard that it was the Japanese devils' doing.

.........

A month later, Li Jin led the soldiers of the special operations battalion into Hubei and arrived in Xiangyang.

Xiangyang has been occupied by the Japanese. There are Japanese garrisons in all the county towns near Xiangyang, and there are also checkpoints built by the Japanese.

At the foot of a mountain, Li Jin and his soldiers were resting here.

"Captain, we have done some reconnaissance and found a Japanese checkpoint about five miles south of us.

There were about thirteen Japanese soldiers in the checkpoint, and more than twenty puppet soldiers. There was a Japanese bunker about ten miles away from the checkpoint.
There are about 30 Japanese soldiers in that bunker. If we attack the checkpoint, the Japanese soldiers in the bunker will definitely come to support us. "Lü Changgong came to report the intelligence he had gathered to Li Jin.

"Well, let's take action tonight and destroy this Japanese checkpoint." Li Jin nodded and made a decision immediately. Since they had entered the enemy-occupied area, they might as well do something to make the Japanese here suffer.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong nodded.

"So, starting tomorrow, you will be divided into 20 teams and start attacking the enemy's blockhouses and checkpoints along the way." Li Jin thought about it and decided to do this. Since they were going to cause trouble, they might as well make it bigger. Anyway, part of the enemy's forces were gathering in the direction of Changsha, so it wouldn't be too dangerous for them to cause trouble here.

"I understand!" Lu Changgong and the others were very happy after hearing this. They had always wanted to do this.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Li Jin brought thirty soldiers from the special operations battalion to the back of a small hill about a hundred meters away from the checkpoint.

"Battalion Commander, the Japs' shift change schedule is every hour, two people at a time." A soldier from the reconnaissance company who had conducted reconnaissance here in advance reported the matter.

"Well, but what's going on in there? Why is it so noisy?!" Li Jin nodded, then became a little confused. From time to time, some noises could be heard from this checkpoint.

"Battalion Commander, they seem to be gambling." the soldier explained.

"Gambling?! Ha, that's something they can do!" Li Jin sneered, still gambling even when he was about to die.

"Start the action after twelve o'clock." Li Jin gave the order, then he took out the walkie-talkie and started contacting Liu Changshun.

"Battalion Commander." Liu Changshun's voice came through the intercom.

"Have you reached the ambush location?!" Li Jin asked.

He will attack the checkpoint first tonight, and then the people at the checkpoint will definitely call the nearest bunker for help. Liu Changshun and his men will ambush on the road that the reinforcements must take and wipe out the Japanese who sent the telegram in one fell swoop.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander. We have already set up an ambush and are just waiting for you to take action." Liu Changshun responded.

"That's fine." Li Jin turned off the channel.

On the other side, Liu Changshun looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and couldn't let it go.

"Captain, this walkie-talkie looks really useful." The soldier next to him was a little envious. He also wanted to have a walkie-talkie. Just watching the captain use it, he thought it was very cool.

"Of course. How can something our battalion commander come up with not be useful?" Liu Changshun said with a smile.

"Captain, let me play with it." The soldier said as he reached out to grab the walkie-talkie.

"Go away, or you might break it. When there are more of these things in the future, you will definitely be able to get one too. Just wait." Liu Changshun carefully put away the walkie-talkie, fearing that it would be broken.

.........

At this time, in the checkpoint.

A dozen Japanese soldiers were betting on the size of a certain number. The leader was a Japanese sergeant who was the banker.

"Buy it and leave it alone, buy it and leave it alone!" the Japanese sergeant shouted in Japanese.

Other Japanese soldiers placed their bets one after another.

"big big big………"

"Little, little, little..."

The Japanese soldiers were all shouting. They kept gambling until eleven o'clock. Some of them won and some lost.

.........

Twelve o'clock arrived quickly.

Li Jin indeed launched an attack. He and another soldier raised their guns and aimed at the two Japanese soldiers standing guard at the door.

boom!boom!
Puff puff......

Two gunshots were heard and two Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.

The sudden gunshots woke up the Japanese soldiers at the checkpoint, and only the puppet soldiers were still sleeping.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!" the Japanese sergeant shouted loudly, which woke up the puppet soldiers.

"What the hell?! Enemy attack?! Why are there enemies here? Are the Japs going crazy?" A puppet soldier said angrily, unable to sleep well.

"That's right. This side has been occupied. Not to mention the National Army, even the Eighth Route Army, we haven't seen any enemies. Where did they come from?" Another puppet soldier also spoke up.

Since the Japanese occupied this place, they had never encountered any enemy attacks at the checkpoint, so they all agreed that the Japanese were acting crazy.

At this moment, the gunfire outside suddenly became intense.

Bang bang bang…

Da da da………

"Fuck! Something is wrong. There are real enemies attacking us. Damn it! Hurry up and get your guns and go out to fight." The puppet army squad leader urged hurriedly.

The other puppet soldiers also panicked and put on their clothes in a hurry.

At this time, in the communications room, the Japanese sergeant picked up the phone and called the nearest bunker first.

"I'm under fierce enemy attack here. Please send people to support us as soon as possible!" the Japanese sergeant shouted into the phone.

After making the call for help, he quickly called the county town.

"Lieutenant, it's bad, the checkpoint was suddenly attacked by the enemy." said the Japanese sergeant.

"Baga, why are you in such a hurry? How many enemies are there?!" the Japanese lieutenant cursed.

"I'm not sure. From the sound of gunfire, I can tell that the enemy is carrying light and heavy machine guns. I estimate there are at least a hundred of them." The Japanese sergeant responded. He had no idea how many enemies were outside. Although there might be only a few dozen of them, he denied it. After all, how could an army of only a few dozen people have light and heavy machine guns?

"There are only a few hundred people, why are you panicking? Just hold the checkpoint and notify the soldiers in the bunker to come for support. Don't let anyone leave the checkpoint easily, do you understand?!" The Japanese lieutenant made combat arrangements.

He didn't take these hundreds of enemies seriously at all. As long as the soldiers guarded the checkpoint, they could delay time, allowing the soldiers in the bunker to come over for support, and then annihilate these enemies!
However, he was also a little surprised. Where did this group of enemies come from? They actually dared to attack their checkpoint directly.

"Hi!" The Japanese sergeant hung up the phone and just walked out of the communication room, he saw a shocking scene. More than a dozen soldiers had fallen to the ground and died, and most of the twenty or so puppet soldiers had also fallen, and half of them were kneeling on the ground and throwing away their guns.

"What's going on?!" The Japanese sergeant never thought that in the short time it took him to make a phone call, more than a dozen elite soldiers were killed in the battle.

boom!
A gunshot was heard, and the bullet pierced the Japanese sergeant's forehead. Blood spurted out, and he fell backwards with disbelief in his eyes.

This shouldn't be the case. How could more than a dozen elite soldiers die in battle so quickly? How strong was the enemy? The Japanese sergeant would never get the answer!
Li Jin walked in with the soldiers. If it weren't for the Japanese calling for help, they would have captured the checkpoint long ago.

But it’s okay now, we can just take it down later.
