Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 844

"These little Japanese devils should be taught a lesson." Liu Changshun smiled when he heard this.

At this time, Lu Changgong also came back.

"Captain, I got the news that a lot of puppet troops suddenly appeared in the other two counties some time ago. The total number of puppet troops in the two counties is about 1,300.
It was said that they were all transferred from other counties, but when I sent people to investigate in counties farther away, I found that the Japanese guarding the city gates all looked quite thin, like puppet soldiers wearing Japanese uniforms and standing guard.
I suspect that the puppet troops transferred to the two nearby counties are most likely the devils in disguise! " Lu Changgong told all the information in one breath!

The conclusion reached is that the puppet troops transferred to the nearby county town were most likely puppet troops.

"That should be correct. This Japanese commander is quite cautious.

In order to prevent the number of Japanese soldiers from other counties from being wrong and being discovered by us, he deliberately let the puppet soldiers wear Japanese uniforms to confuse us! "Li Jin quickly analyzed the Japanese intentions.

The three counties where the Japanese had transferred troops were all targeting them. As long as they caused trouble in one of these three counties, the Japanese in the other two counties could directly attack and surround them.

"This Japanese commander thought that since we were coming from the direction of Xiangyang, they would most likely choose these three counties to attack us, so he transferred all the people here. He is quite smart." Li Jin had to praise this Japanese commander.

To be honest, if he hadn't sent people to the county towns to gather more intelligence, there would have been a high probability that he would have attacked one of the three county towns.

Fortunately, he noticed something was wrong, otherwise, he would have fallen into the Japanese trap.

Although they could get out even if they fell into the trap, there would inevitably be some casualties, which was not what Li Jin wanted to see.

"In that case, we will not attack the checkpoints and bunkers in this county. We will go around and attack the checkpoints and bunkers in other counties!" Li Jin made the decision.

At that time, he would not only destroy the checkpoints and bunkers in other county towns, but also capture the county town itself and give the Japanese a severe slap in the face.

"This is good. The Japanese have transferred most of their troops to these counties, so there won't be so many Japanese in other counties." Liu Changshun also agreed with this plan.

"Don't worry. If I'm not mistaken, the devils from Xiangyang will arrive in the next few days. It's basically certain.

They estimated that we were not as fast as them, so they made this plan. Then we will ambush in advance and kill the devils coming from Xiangyang!" Li Jin continued.

Since Xiangyang had sent all the soldiers in the city here, it was giving him the opportunity to wipe out these devils in one go.

"Then how do we ambush them? Should we rush over?!" Liu Changshun asked.

It is naturally impossible to ambush nearby as it is too close to the Japanese county town.

"We traveled overnight and blocked this group of devils in advance! We left them no chance to pass on information." Li Jin said.

As long as we find a good ambush location and attack with heavy firepower, the Japanese will not have a chance to escape. At that time, machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers will all have to be used, with absolute firepower to destroy the Japanese.

"I understand!" Everyone nodded.

"Let's start the journey tonight." Li Jin ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

.........

Changde, Liang Gu’s office.

"General, you're looking for me." Han Mingyuan pushed open the door and walked in.

"Where are Mu Jin and the others now?!" Liang Gu asked.

"I don't know about this. He sent me a telegram more than a month ago saying that he had set off and it would take more than two months to get here. It's not time yet." Han Mingyuan thought for a while and said slowly.

"Well, send him a telegram and ask him where he is. I'm afraid he has been blocked by the Japanese." Liang Gu nodded and gave the order.

"General, you don't have to worry about this. With the combat effectiveness of Mu Jin's troops, it will be fine if they don't block the Japanese.

The Japs can't stop them." Han Mingyuan smiled and thought that Liang Gu was overthinking.

"That's true." Liang Gu couldn't help but smile when he heard that. The thing he was worried about would never happen to Mu Jin.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say?!" Liang Gu asked.

"I said, if Mu Jin doesn't stop the Japanese...uh, this..." Han Mingyuan was stunned when he said the last part.

"General, to get here from Shanxi, we have to pass through Wuhan. Given Mu Jin's temper, if he passes through the enemy-occupied area, he might really attack the Japanese." Han Mingyuan was also a little helpless.

According to his understanding of Mu Jin, the other party really likes to cause trouble for the Japanese and specializes in killing them.

Therefore, Mu Jin's route here passes through many enemy-occupied areas. When Mu Jin sees those Japs, it is simply impossible for him to not take action against them.

"Tsk, needless to say, this guy has probably already fought with the devils. Let the intelligence personnel go to Xiangyang to gather intelligence.

Then send a telegram to Mu Jin to ask where he is now? ” Liang Gu ordered hurriedly.

Shanxi is quite far away from Xiangyang. Mu Jin and his group can reach Xiangyang at the earliest now.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Han Mingyuan quickly turned around and left. After he arrived at the communications room, he immediately wrote the content of the telegram and then handed it to the telegraph operator to send.

.........

On the other side, just as Li Jin was about to eat, a telegraph operator came over to report the situation.

"Battalion Commander, there's a telegram from Division Commander Han, asking us where we are now?!" the telegraph operator read out the contents of the telegram.

"This Old Han, is it possible that he is worried that I will change my mind and not come?!" Li Jin smiled, but then he thought that Han Mingyuan should not be afraid that he would not come.

"He's afraid that I'll fight the Japanese and waste my time getting there, right?!" Li Jin immediately guessed what Han Mingyuan was worried about.

It must be said that Han Mingyuan's worries were not unreasonable, because he did take action against the Japanese, but it did not delay his journey.

On the way here, he calculated the time, which already included the time to attack the Japanese, so there would be no delay anyway.

"Battalion Commander, did I tell Commander Han the truth?!" the telegraph operator asked.

"Well, let's just say we have arrived in Jingmen, and we will be able to reach him in twenty days." Li Jin nodded and said.

"Yes!" The telegraph operator turned and left to send a telegram.

.........

Han Mingyuan was stunned for a moment after receiving the telegram. To be honest, he didn't expect that Mu Jin and the others had already arrived in Jingmen so quickly.

"Report to the commander first." Han Mingyuan left the communications room with the telegram and went to Liang Gu's office immediately.

"General, Captain Mu sent a telegram saying that he has arrived in Jingmen." Han Mingyuan handed the telegram to Liang Gu for review.

"They actually reached Jingmen so quickly?! I really underestimated their marching speed." Liang Gu was also a little surprised!

If that was the case, did Mu Jin and his men not take any action against the Japanese when they rushed over and passed through the enemy-occupied area? ! The sun really rises from the west.

"Mu Jin and the others must have been traveling day and night, so they were able to get there so quickly." Han Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong." Liang Gu glanced at the time.

"What's wrong, General? Something's wrong there?!" Han Mingyuan was puzzled.

Mu Jin came slowly, which was not right. But he came quickly, which was not right either?!
"According to the marching speed of Mu Jin and his men, it will take them twenty days to get from Jingmen to us?!" Liang Gu said.

Mu Jin is actually not very far away from them now, so how could it take so much time?

"What the commander means is... Mu Jin is traveling so fast just to take action against the Japanese in Jingmen?!" Han Mingyuan reacted as he spoke.

Mu Jin needed so much time to travel, so something must have delayed them on the way, and the thing that delayed them was naturally the attack on the Japanese.

"I guessed correctly. Mu Jin must have thought so. He rushed all the way just to get to Jingmen and spend more time fighting the devils.
I said this guy wouldn't be so quiet, how could he come so fast and then slow down, it turns out he wanted to attack the devils. " Liang Gu said this, feeling a little helpless.

"Yes, Mu Jin is a man who will go and fight the Japanese even if no one gives him money. He has to make the Japanese suffer." Han Mingyuan also admires Mu Jin a little.

"When you say that, do you think you are worried about the money?!" Liang Gu said with a smile.

"That's not the case. Since we have already made an agreement with Mu Jin, we have to give him what he deserves. Otherwise, if this guy attacks us, our soldiers won't be able to stop the Japanese." Han Mingyuan responded.

He didn't dare to play tricks on Mu Jin, because the other party would really do it.

"It's good that you know." Liang Gu smiled. He knew very well the strength of Mu Jin's troops. The Japanese couldn't stop them, let alone people like them.

"General, should we send someone to get a share of the pie?!" Han Mingyuan suggested. Since Mu Jin would not get any of the credit for killing the Japanese anyway, they could send someone to take some of the credit.

"Go now?! It's too late. If we had thought of these things in advance, we could have sent someone to wait." Liang Gu shook his head helplessly.

If they send people over now, they won't be able to do anything. The battle on Mu Jin's side has ended long ago, and it's not their turn to take action at all.

"Yeah, it's such a pity. Why didn't I think that this kid would attack the Japanese?" Han Mingyuan also felt regretful.

If the people brought by Mu Jin were to attack the Japanese, they would have to kill thousands of them.

"It's too late to say anything now. Just wait and see. There's nothing else we can do." Liang Gu shook his head.

Killing thousands of Japanese devils was a great achievement, but he missed it. To be honest, he felt it was a pity.

"This is the only way." Han Mingyuan nodded dejectedly.

"No rush. Wait for Mu Jin to arrive and fight the Japanese with us. The result will be the same." Liang Gu didn't worry about it so much.

Anyway, since Mu Jin is here, are they still worried that they won't get any credit? Of course not, the credit will just go into their pockets.

"Yes, yes, these are just minor fights now." Han Mingyuan nodded repeatedly.

"You go down and get busy first." Liang Gu waved his hand.

"Okay." Han Mingyuan turned and left.

Around ten o'clock in the evening.

Han Mingyuan hurriedly ran into Liang Gu's office with a telegram.

"Commander, the intelligence personnel who went to Xiangyang have reported back that Mu Jin has already attacked the county town in Xiangyang and killed thousands of Japanese soldiers.

We even took down a county town of the Japanese!" Han Mingyuan said hurriedly.

He didn't expect that Mu Jin had already taken action against the Japanese in Xiangyang and even captured a county town.

"Good boy, you are so brave!" Liang Gu was also stunned when he heard this.

I thought Mu Jin was only attacking some checkpoints and bunkers of the Japanese, but I didn't expect that the other side even took down the county town guarded by the Japanese.

"Is the telegram true?!" Liang Gu couldn't help but ask.

"It should be true. The intelligence personnel said that the whole Xiangyang knew about this incident. An unknown force attacked the Japanese checkpoints and bunkers.
By the way, they also took down the county town, and the people were guessing who this army belonged to. "Han Mingyuan said.

"Well, that should be correct. Only this guy can do it." Liang Gu nodded.

.........

Two days later in the afternoon.

A puppet army unit of about 2,000 people was heading towards Jingmen.

This puppet army unit marched in an orderly manner and escorted a lot of things. There was also a puppet army captain sitting in one of the carriages.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we are now only one day away from Jingmen." A squadron leader of the puppet army came to the captain of the puppet army to report.

"Well, let the troops speed up." The puppet army captain nodded and gave the order.

"This time when we pass Jingmen, we will definitely be able to annihilate this group of enemies!" said the captain of the puppet army.

They actually lost a county town to an unknown force and had thousands of soldiers wiped out by the other side. This was a great humiliation.

In particular, the enemy later dared to attack Xiangyang, causing hundreds of casualties among them. This was simply too arrogant.

"Hmph, they can't escape and will have to be eliminated by us!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel snorted coldly. He was so angry when he thought of this incident.

At the same time, this puppet army unit was about three or four miles away.

Two scouts observed this puppet army unit through binoculars.

"What's going on? Didn't the battalion commander say that the Japanese would send people over? Why are these a group of puppet soldiers?!" one of them asked in confusion.

These puppet troops appear to number around two thousand.

"This should be a puppet army in disguise, just like the county town we explored before." Another person spoke up and expressed his guess.

"You have a point. These are definitely the Japanese in disguise. Hurry up and get the intercom and contact the battalion commander and his men. Tell them that the Japanese are less than four miles away from the ambush point."

"Okay." The scout took out the walkie-talkie and started tuning the frequency.

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are still four miles away from you. They will arrive in ten minutes at most." The scout said hurriedly.

"Okay, I got it. You guys should come back quickly. You don't have to stay there." Li Jin's voice came from the intercom.
