Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 845

Li Jin was also ready for the attack.

The wait lasted less than ten minutes.

Then they saw the puppet troops walking into the valley from a distance.

These Japanese devils disguised themselves as puppet soldiers, carrying Hanyang and Zhongzheng rifles, and only a dozen or twenty light machine guns.

Their equipment looked poor, but they were all full of energy, without the decadent feeling of puppet soldiers. Although they were wearing puppet army uniforms, a closer look revealed that these puppet soldiers were not ordinary.

Soon, two thousand puppet troops arrived at the middle of the valley.

Boom boom boom......

The mines in the middle and on the side of the road were triggered, and explosions were heard one after another.

Dozens of landmines killed and injured hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and several horses carrying supplies were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

The sudden scene also scared the Japanese soldiers behind, and they tried to hide quickly.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

Boom boom boom......

The soldiers of the special operations battalion on both sides of the mountain opened fire, and hundreds of machine guns fired fiercely at the Japanese.

A large number of Japanese soldiers fell down, and the other soldiers were very skilled in shooting, almost killing one by one, leaving them with almost no chance to fight back. In addition, the artillery positions were also constantly bombarding this side.

The Japanese not only had to dodge bullets, but also had to dodge artillery bombardments.

"Baga, hurry up and get your weapons!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel ordered loudly.

He never expected that he would be attacked on the way to Jingmen.

And the enemy's firepower was so fierce.

puff!
A bullet pierced through his head, splashing blood. The Japanese lieutenant colonel stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He was going to die just like that?!
On the mountain, Li Jin loaded the rifle in his hand. He was the one who fired the shot just now.

Li Jin quickly aimed his gun at other people.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" The Japanese soldier wearing the clothes of a puppet army squadron leader hurriedly ran towards the Japanese lieutenant colonel.

As a result, he was also hit by a bullet, which pierced his left chest and he fell to the ground and died.

The sound of gunfire was so intense that it could be heard from far away. Some people who were about to come over here were frightened and stopped, quickly running to the nearby mountains.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

The gunfire lasted for two minutes, and all the Japs in the valley were killed.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Li Jin ordered.

The soldiers rushed out of the simple trenches and ran down the mountain.

bang bang...

Sporadic gunshots were heard, and the fallen Japanese were shot again by the soldiers.

"Battalion Commander, there are indeed guns and ammunition in this horse-drawn carriage." Liu Changshun ran over to report to Li Jin. He checked the cargo pulled by the horses and found that there were indeed guns in the boxes, including Type 38 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, as well as mortars and grenade launchers.

"Well, that means we were right. These people are indeed Japanese in disguise." Li Jin nodded.

"However, these horses seem to be in poor condition. How about giving them another shot?" Liu Changshun hesitated and suggested.

Although they didn't want to hurt these horses, they had no choice. They couldn't let so many Japanese devils go just for a few horses.

"Well, let them go peacefully." Li Jin nodded.

"Yes!" After hearing this, Liu Changshun immediately went to kill the seriously injured horses that had not yet died. There was no other way, these horses were too seriously injured and could not be saved.

Rather than letting them suffer before death, it is better to give these horses a quick death.

After the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield, Li Jin ordered people to move all the corpses on the road and carry them to the woods in the distance.

At the same time, the soldiers were asked to cover the holes created by the shells and the broken limbs.

The reason for doing this is just to prevent the Japanese from knowing too early that these Japanese supporters have been annihilated by them.

Lest the Japanese be prepared or change their plans.

After doing all this, Li Jin led the soldiers to retreat.

.........

Two nights later, Li Jin led his soldiers around Jingmen and arrived at several county towns not far south of Jingmen.

"Battalion Commander, it's just as you said. There are indeed very few Japanese devils in this county. Even the Japanese devils in Jingmen are not numerous." Lu Changgong came to Li Jin to report.

"That's expected." Li Jin smiled.

Liu Changshun has asked him to send troops to the location of the Japanese ambush circle. At that time, Liu Changshun will have people attack the Japanese checkpoints and bunkers to attract the Japanese's attention.

Perhaps, after learning the situation, the Japanese commander in Jingmen will send out most of the Japanese in Jingmen.

Anyway, at this location of Jingmen, Li Jin planned to capture the city and give the Japanese a severe slap in the face.

……

At this time, in Jingmen, in the office of Daiki Tanaka.

"Haven't the soldiers from Xiangyang arrived yet?!" Tanaka Daiki asked the Japanese lieutenant colonel in front of him.

"The county commander didn't see anyone. Maybe he was delayed by something?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel responded. He didn't know what the situation was, but he didn't see anyone.

"What?! It was agreed to be three days, and now it's almost the fourth day, and I haven't seen anyone yet. What the hell is going on with Shang Jiuyifu lying on the ground?!" Tanaka Daiki frowned.

The late arrival of the reinforcements made him feel uncomfortable. He had worked so hard to formulate a plan. If the reinforcements did not arrive in time, wouldn't the plan be ruined? !

"Captain, you don't have to worry too much. Even if the enemies are coming, they won't come so quickly. After all, they don't dare to walk openly on the road." The Japanese lieutenant colonel comforted him.

I felt that if the soldiers coming to support arrived a little later, nothing serious would happen.

"Hmph, if the enemy arrives earlier than them, it will be impossible for me to annihilate them." Tanaka Daiki snorted coldly.

Although he could not provide support, he could make these enemies pay a heavy price, but the biggest problem was that the enemies could break out, and it was impossible to wipe them out completely.

"Captain, how about we send out the soldiers from Jingmen and the Imperial Army?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel thought about it and expressed his opinion.

If the enemy arrives faster than the reinforcements, their current deployment will not be able to eliminate those enemies, but they can send the people from Jingmen out as well.

Even if we can't eliminate them all, at least we can eliminate most of them.

"At this point, this is all we have to do. However, the support should arrive tomorrow, so let's wait a little longer." Tanaka Daiki nodded and said.

Although the reinforcements did not arrive on time, they will definitely not arrive too late and should be able to catch up.

"Hi!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded.

"You go first." Tanaka Daiki waved his hand. "Yes!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel turned and left the office, closing the door as he went out.

Tanaka Daiki was looking at the phone in front of him, wondering whether he should call Kamiuichi to ask when the reinforcements would arrive.

"Let's just ask." Tanaka Daiki picked up the phone and dialed.

"Mr. Tanaka, have the reinforcements arrived at your place?! I've entrusted the people to you. Please don't let my men suffer heavy casualties." The voice of Shang Jiuyifu came from the phone. He thought that his soldiers had already arrived in Jingmen, so Tanaka Daiki called him specially.

"Shang Jiujun, your people haven't arrived at Jingmen yet. Didn't we agree to wait for three days? It's almost midnight now and I haven't seen anyone.
The time you said for arrival is not accurate at all." Tanaka Daiki complained.

"What?! Not arrived yet?! That shouldn't be the case. The telegram they sent said that it would arrive today." Shang Jiuyifu was also stunned when he heard this.

He was also a little confused. What was going on? Could it be that his people lied about the time of arrival? !
"Otherwise, we've been waiting for so long and there's not even a single person in sight." Tanaka Daiki said unhappily.

"Mr. Tanaka, I'm sorry. It seems that they were busy, so they were delayed. Don't be angry, don't be angry." Shang Jiuyifu apologized quickly.

In my heart, I couldn't help but curse the people below me for not arriving on time and for reporting nonsense time.

"It's okay, Shang Jiujun, this operation is still very important. You have to know that the threat posed by this force is still very great.

If your soldiers cannot arrive in time and fail to annihilate the enemy,
I'm afraid I'll face even bigger troubles later, understand? !" Tanaka Daiki said the consequences.

This operation must succeed and not fail, otherwise, what awaits him is the revenge of this group of enemies, so he must wipe out this group of enemies in one go.

He didn't want to be targeted by this group of enemies all the time. In the end, he might even lose his official position.

"Don't worry, Tanaka-kun, I will urge them to arrive by tomorrow night at the latest, no, tomorrow morning. What do you think?!" Shang Jiuyifu said in a flattering tone.

He also knew that Daiki Tanaka was under a lot of pressure, especially the consequences of mission failure.

"Well, tomorrow morning at the latest." Tanaka Daiki hung up the phone.

.........

Xiangyang, in Shang Jiuyi's office.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Shang Jiuyifu's face became gloomy.

"Someone come here!" Shang Jiuyifu shouted towards the door.

"Captain." Soon, a Japanese soldier pushed open the door and walked in.

"Call the telegraph operator over to me immediately!" Shang Jiuyifu said with a dark face.

"Hey!" The Japanese soldier was startled and left quickly.

"Damn it, he actually caused me to lose such a big person." Shang Jiuyi gritted his teeth in anger.

The commander of the team really lost face this time.

Not long after, the Japanese telegraph operator walked in.

"You go and send this telegram, telling them that they must reach Jingmen and the nearest county town early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, let them commit suicide!" Shang Jiuyifu handed the contents of the telegram to the telegraph operator.

"Understood!" The Japanese telegraph operator took the telegram and left. It was also the first time he saw the regiment commander so angry.

.........

At this time, Liu Changshun divided a company of more than 130 soldiers into ten teams and ambushed them near the nearest checkpoint and bunker. When the time came, they immediately attacked the checkpoint and bunker.

Then immediately retreat as quickly as possible along the original route.

About three hundred meters away from the checkpoint, Liu Changshun arrived here with a dozen soldiers.

"Captain, if we launch a surprise attack with only a few of us, will we be surrounded by the Japanese?!" The deputy captain became a little worried.

If these hundred people were surrounded by three thousand Japanese soldiers, it would be difficult for them to fight their way out.

"What are you afraid of? The battalion commander will come to pick us up." Liu Changshun didn't take it too seriously. Instead, he felt a little excited.

If they were really surrounded, they would occupy advantageous terrain to fight the Japanese. Anyway, given the Japanese's combat effectiveness, it would be easy for them to hold out until Li Jin and his men arrived.

"Besides, as long as we don't waste time, it will be impossible for the Japanese to surround us before we evacuate," Liu Changshun continued.

Li Jin had already arranged a retreat route for them.

"Yeah, it seems I've thought too much." The deputy company commander nodded.

"By the way, have you sent people to guard the Japanese's telephone lines?!" Liu Changshun asked.

"Don't worry, we have sent people to guard it." The deputy company commander responded. He had sent a soldier to look for the Japanese's telephone line in advance, and he had already found it.

"Well, have you given them enough instructions? Don't ruin the plan." Liu Changshun nodded with satisfaction.

"After two minutes of fighting, cut the telephone lines immediately. I have already instructed them." said the deputy company commander. He did not just give the instructions once, but several times, for fear that the soldiers would forget.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was twelve o'clock in the morning.

Liu Changshun and his men also began to attack the checkpoint ahead.

Bang bang……

Two gunshots were heard, and the two Japanese soldiers on guard were shot dead on the spot.

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night and awakened the Japanese soldiers in the checkpoint.

"Enemy attack!" A Japanese sergeant came out of the room in dishevel and shouted, waking up many puppet soldiers.

The Japanese sergeant hurried into the communications room and called the county town immediately.

"Major, something happened. The enemy attacked the checkpoint!" The Japanese sergeant immediately told the story.

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

There was intense gunfire outside.

"What?! So fast?! Just wait, I'll send someone to support you right away!" The Japanese major said in astonishment.

"Hi!" The Japanese sergeant nodded, but the caller on the other end had already hung up.

"What do you mean so fast?!" The Japanese sergeant was a little confused. It felt like the major knew that the enemy would come to attack.

If that's the case, aren't they just bait? !
Impossible, the Major can't possibly be such a person.

The soldier guarding the telephone line also looked at his watch, and when two minutes were up, he immediately cut the line short.

Da da da………

Liu Changshun held a light machine gun and fired at the Japanese and puppet troops at the checkpoint. His machine gun was very accurate and exerted a suppressive force on the Japanese.

The Japanese machine gunners were not willing to be outdone and planned to fight back with machine guns.

However, the Japanese machine gunner was killed as soon as he opened fire. Seeing this, the assistant machine gunner picked up his machine gun, changed his position, and continued shooting, but was also killed.

Afterwards, three Japanese soldiers raised their machine guns and fired, and were all killed one by one. As a result, no Japanese soldier dared to fire a machine gun anymore, as no one wanted to be the next one.

"Stop shooting." Liu Changshun immediately gave the order to stop shooting, and they began to retreat to the rear because their goal had been achieved.

They had plenty of time to retreat.
