Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 837

Around four in the morning.

The Japanese major was walking back and forth in the office, he was very anxious.

"Why is there still no news after so long?! Didn't they catch up?! Or what happened?!" The Japanese major sat in the chair irritably and lit another cigarette.

I took a deep breath and felt much better.

"Making a call." The Japanese lieutenant colonel was about to make a call when he was stunned, because before this, all the checkpoints and bunkers outside the county town had called for help.

But without exception, everything went wrong, and it would be useless for him to make a phone call now.

"We can only wait." The Japanese lieutenant colonel sighed. He felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he should not have thought about destroying this group of enemies.

Now, I have no idea what the situation is outside the county.

If the two squadrons that went out were also destroyed by the enemy, this loss would be something he could not afford.

"You'd better confess to the commander of the regiment and die the way you deserve." The Japanese major picked up the phone and called Xiangyang.

"I'm Major Li Jiu. I have important matters to report to the regiment commander. Please come to the phone, commander." The Japanese major spoke into the phone.

"Major Lijiu, it's already this late. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow. The wing commander has already gone to bed."

"Damn it, I told you I have something important to report and it can't wait until tomorrow! Go ask the captain to answer the phone." Major Lijiu cursed.

He is so anxious now that he would disturb the captain even if he wants to sleep.

"Hey, then please Major Li Jiu, go explain this to the wing commander later."

"I see. Go and call someone."

After Major Lijiu waited for more than ten minutes, a deep and slightly angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lijiu-kun, you'd better have something important to report, otherwise the consequences will be serious!" Captain Tian Shang's voice was filled with anger.

Anyone who is sleeping well will get angry if they are disturbed.

"Captain, something happened..." Major Lijiu swallowed and began to tell him what happened yesterday one by one.

"What?! More than sixty soldiers died in one night?!" Captain Tian Shang was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, more than that..." Major Lijiu continued to describe what happened tonight.

"So, I suspect that all the checkpoints and bunkers outside the county, including the two squadrons of soldiers I sent out, will be destroyed!" Major Li Jiu said it all.

"Baga, how is this possible?! Where did such a strong force come from?! Wait a minute, I thought of something that happened more than two months ago..." Captain Tianshang suddenly felt cold sweat on his back.

"Captain, what are you talking about?!" Major Lijiu was a little confused.

"Previously, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had trained a powerful force, and that's what the other side did at the time.

Specialize in attacking checkpoints, and then attack the Imperial soldiers who are coming to support them.
They have strong firepower and are good at night combat. They are exactly the same as the troops you are facing now!" Captain Tian Shang explained the situation.

Originally, he needed to keep this matter secret. After all, it would easily affect morale if it got out, because the enemy had wiped out tens of thousands of soldiers in the mountains.

"What?! How come I have never heard of this?!" The Japanese major was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of these things at all.

"It's normal that you don't know." Captain Tian Shang responded. If Major Li Jiu knew, he would not be a major anymore.

"In short, this army is extremely dangerous. Don't make an enemy of them lightly. You should stay in the county and don't leave. Take the rest of the people back to Xiangyang tomorrow.
I will gather all the troops and withdraw to Xiangyang, and report this matter." Captain Tian Shang gave the order hastily.

This is all he can do now. No one knows whether this army will replicate the battle in Shanxi. Therefore, in order to avoid casualties, all the soldiers in the counties near Xiangyang must be brought back.

As for the bunkers, checkpoints, and the county towns that had already been occupied, they had to be abandoned temporarily.

"Captain, is this unit really that powerful? Do you need to gather your troops back? I think if we send all the soldiers to attack, we should be able to annihilate the enemy.
Their numbers are not that large at all. "Li Jiu thought that they had nearly a regiment of soldiers, so could they not do anything about this army?!

"What do you know?! Two captains thought so before, and suffered heavy casualties as a result. In the end, forget it, I won't say any more to you..." Captain Tian Shang said nothing more and hung up the phone.

If he told Lieutenant Colonel Li Jiu that it was because of the other party that the empire was destroyed and more than 20,000 soldiers surrendered, he would probably be scared to death.

In short, he couldn't do such a stupid thing like the previous captains.

Although the enemy group was powerful, as long as he concentrated all his forces in Xiangyang, the enemy group would not dare to attack.

Although it would be embarrassing if it got out, he had no choice. It was embarrassing anyway. After all, more than half of the soldiers of an entire regiment were wiped out by the enemy.

Major Li Jiu listened to the busy tone coming from the phone and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The commander of the corps was actually so afraid of this unit, what on earth did they do? !

"If I had informed them earlier, would what happened tonight have not happened?!" Major Lijiu murmured.

Judging from the captain's tone, if he had known all this earlier, he would most likely not have agreed to his plan. In this way, he would not have caused such a big mess.

"Come to think of it, the captain of the corps doesn't blame me. Doesn't that mean that the punishment I receive later won't be too severe?!" Major Li Jiu breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.

But then, his mood became complicated again. In this case, he should thank the enemy for being too powerful so that he didn't have to suffer such a severe punishment? !

"What a shame." Major Li Jiu murmured. He never thought that this day would come.

However, at this moment.

Boom boom boom......

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

Suddenly, fierce gunfire came from four directions, which scared Major Lijiu.

"What's going on?! The enemy has reached the county town?! Or was the enemy's original target the county town?!" The more Major Lijiu thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

If this is the case, the two squadrons of soldiers leaving the county should be fine? !
But the problem is that the few people in the county can't stop the enemy's attack.
Ring, ring, ring... The phone on the table suddenly rang, scaring Major Liku.

"Hello." Major Li Jiu answered the phone.

"Major, something happened. The enemy is coming and their attack is very fierce. Requesting support!" An anxious voice came from the phone.

"Baga, where's the support coming from? You're the only ones left in the county now, you must hold on!" Major Lijiu cursed.

This county town is now an empty city, where can he get support? !

Unless the two squadrons of soldiers who left the county town can come back, but judging from the situation, they can't come back, and they are probably still searching for the enemy's traces.

"Major, but we can't hold on. The enemy's shooting is too accurate and their firepower is too strong!"

"Even if you can't stand it, you have to support me!" Major Li Jiu said and hung up the phone.

"Let's call the captain." Major Liku thought about it and decided to call Captain Tagami to ask what to do next.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Lijiu, what's wrong? Wait, why are there gunshots over there? Have the enemies reached the county town?!" When Captain Tian Shang heard the gunshots coming from Major Lijiu's side, he hurriedly asked.

"Yes, the enemy has reached the county town and is attacking fiercely. We have too few soldiers and it seems we can't stop the enemy's attack at all. What should I do now?!" Major Liku asked hurriedly, wanting to know from Captain Tian Shang what he was going to do next.

But Captain Tian Shang fell silent.

Because, in this situation, even if he sent troops over, they would not be able to catch up, and there would be only one outcome for Major Liku, and that would be death.

"Li Jiujun, listen, the enemy is attacking the county town most likely to steal supplies from the military camp. You should immediately gather the remaining soldiers in the camp, ask them to find firewood, and set the entire warehouse on fire." Lieutenant Commander Tian Shang quickly informed them of the plan.

Since the enemy wanted to capture the county town and take away its supplies, they burned the supplies.

"I understand. Then what should I do after burning the warehouse?!" asked Major Lijiu.

"See if you can hide and don't let the enemy find you. It's best to hide in a residential building near the military camp. Don't hide too far away, otherwise it will be dark under the lamp and the enemy won't be able to find you." Captain Tian Shang gave the order.

The most dangerous place is also the safest place. If the enemy does not find Major Liku in the military camp, they will most likely go out to search for him. The enemy will most likely not search the residents' homes close to the military camp because they think they are too close and Major Liku will not hide there.

"Thank you for your advice, Captain. I'll do it right away." Major Li Jiu was very grateful. He quickly stood up and prepared to leave the office.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man appear in front of him, two guards were lying on the ground, and blood was flowing on the floor.

At that moment, Major Li Jiu immediately stepped back and reached for the holster on his waist.

But it was too late. The young man quickly stepped forward and kicked Major Lijiu in the chest, sending him flying two meters away and landing heavily on the table.

Many decorations fell to the ground and made noises.

"Someone come, someone come quickly!" Major Lijiu shouted.

"Stop shouting. We have already dealt with the dozen or so Japanese soldiers in this military camp." The soldier smiled slowly. He was a scout who had been lurking in the county town a long time ago. Besides him, there was another scout.

When Li Jin made a noise while attacking the county town, he immediately rushed over with his comrades and quietly killed all the dozen or so Japanese soldiers in the barracks.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Major Li Jiu stood up, eyes full of shock. More than a dozen elite soldiers were killed, and they couldn't even give a warning? !
"Nothing is impossible. Okay, I should send you on your way." The soldier took out his gun and aimed at Major Lijiu.

"Wait, I want to challenge you to a samurai duel, do you dare?!" Major Lijiu said. He could die, but he couldn't die in frustration.

"Okay, then I'll play with you." Upon hearing this, the soldier put down his gun. It was just the right amount of time, so playing with this little Japanese could help him kill some time.

Major Liku was overjoyed when he saw this. He picked up the samurai sword hanging on the wall and pulled out the rice.

The soldier also drew out the bayonet from his waist.

"You're going to fight me with this?!" Major Lijiu frowned, thinking that the other party was looking down on him.

"This is enough to hit you." The soldier responded. He had originally planned to fight with his bare hands, as this little Japanese was no match for him anyway.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance." Major Li Jiu was furious. He raised his command knife and rushed towards the soldier. His speed was quite fast and he hit him on the head with the knife.

The soldier dodged sideways, and Lieutenant Colonel Lijiu took advantage of the situation and slashed horizontally, intending to cut the soldier in half, but the soldier reacted faster and stepped back again, while pulling in his stomach, and the knife brushed past his clothes.

boom!
The soldier suddenly kicked out and hit Major Lijiu in the stomach with a side kick, kicking him two meters away again and slamming him heavily on the table with a dull bang.

Seeing this, the soldier didn't intend to give Major Li Jiu any more chances. He quickly chased after him and stabbed Major Li Jiu's heart with a bayonet before he came down.

"You..." Major Lijiu felt the pain in his left chest and his eyes widened, but he died before he could finish his words.

He never expected that this man's skills were so terrifying. In front of him, he was like a child facing an adult and had no power to fight back.

"Hey, Third Brother, what are you doing? Making such a big noise?!" At this time, a soldier walked in from the door.

"My hands are itching, so I have a sparring match with this little Japanese. It turns out that this little Japanese is quite capable." The third brother praised. If an ordinary soldier faced this Japanese, he would probably not be able to last more than three moves.

"Alright, alright, come with me to search for the good stuff. The gunfire has stopped now, and the battalion commander and his men are probably about to arrive." The soldier turned and left.

.........

At the city gate, under the fierce attack of Li Jin and his men, the Japanese soldiers from several directions could not stop at all. In less than three minutes, all four city gates were blown up by them.

Li Jin and his men charged directly into the city and captured hundreds of puppet troops.

As before, Li Jin spared no mercy for any of the puppet soldiers who bullied men and women. He killed them all and gave the surviving puppet soldiers a piece of advice: this would be the fate of anyone who bullied ordinary people.

For a moment, the remaining puppet soldiers nodded repeatedly. How could they dare not refuse? Many of them were also grateful that they did not bully the common people.

After solving these problems, Li Jin led his men to the Japanese army camp.

After they entered the military camp, they went straight to the Japanese warehouse, and the soldiers moved the supplies in the warehouse away.

Soon, Li Jin and his team had moved most of the supplies in the warehouse. Those that could not be moved were burned by Li Jin, leaving nothing for the Japanese.
