Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 849

"I want to see your commander." Tanaka Daiki said. He didn't want to talk to ordinary officers at all.

"It's me." Li Jin replied.

"What?! You are the commander?!" Tanaka Daiki was stunned when he heard that. The man in front of him was too young, and looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

"Guaranteed genuine." Li Jin smiled.

Tanaka Daiki didn't say anything, but looked at Li Jin carefully. He looked very ordinary and didn't look like a veteran.

However, the surrounding soldiers did not seem surprised at all by what this man said, which shows that this man is indeed the commander.

"How did you see through my plan?!" Tanaka Daiki asked. He thought his plan was perfect, so what went wrong? !

His plan was seen through by the other party, who then backstabbed him.

"Is it that difficult?! Do you think you can conceal the truth by deploying in advance?!
It would be fine if a county town suddenly sent so many puppet troops for no reason.

Other counties also sent so many puppet troops. Moreover, after arriving at the county, those puppet troops did nothing but stayed in the barracks.
What kind of puppet army could be treated like this?!
In addition, some soldiers from the county towns stood guard on the city walls in uniforms that did not match their clothes, and if you didn't look carefully, you would not be able to spot the problem.

So, do you understand what's wrong?!" Li Jin asked back.

To be honest, if he hadn't been so cautious, he would have been fooled.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You are really cautious enough to send people to so many counties to investigate." Tanaka Daiki was convinced.

He failed because of being overconfident and careless.

He thought that by having the soldiers change into the clothes of the Imperial Army, he could deceive the enemy commander, but he didn't expect the other side to be so cautious.

"I have to admit that I underestimated you." Tanaka Daiki was a little helpless.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. He really failed miserably in his layout.

"Wait a minute, could it be that the soldiers who came to support us from Xiangyang were also killed by you?!" Tanaka Daiki asked. He felt that something was wrong today but he chose not to investigate further.

If he had thought about this earlier, he wouldn't have lost so badly today.

"Yes, I annihilated them halfway." Li Jin did not hide it. It was just a dead man. Today, he would be kind and let the other party die with a clear conscience.

After hearing this answer, Tanaka Daiki fell silent. The person in front of him was really too dangerous.

Not only can he command a powerful army, but he can also be so cautious and his layout is impeccable.

He could somewhat understand why the other party was able to kill so many people.

"I've asked all the questions I need to ask. It's time for you to get going." After Li Jin finished speaking, without giving Tanaka Daiki a chance to speak, he took out his pistol and pulled the trigger.

There was a bang.

The bullet hit Tanaka Daiki's heart, splashing some blood.

Tanaka Daiki looked down at his wound, unable to believe that he was actually dead just like that?!
The corpse fell to the ground, blood seeping out from the wound, staining Tanaka Daiki's white shirt red.

"Battalion Commander, there are still a lot of supplies that cannot be moved. Should we distribute them to the people nearby?!" Zhao Ming came over to report the situation.

Although they moved a lot of supplies, there were still a lot in the warehouse. It was a pity to burn them like that. He thought they could be distributed to the people nearby.

"We don't have that much time to allocate, and too many supplies will make people greedy, which can easily lead to things that shouldn't happen. It's better to just burn them directly." Li Jin shook his head and said.

He knew very well that if these supplies were sent out, it would bring trouble to the people. Moreover, they did not have so much time to distribute them and needed to evacuate the place as soon as possible.

"I understand." Zhao Ming nodded.

Then he had the warehouse burned down.

Li Jin also left Jingmen with the soldiers. They went to pick up Liu Changshun and the others to prevent anything from happening to them.

.........

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii, with several hundred soldiers and more than a thousand Imperial Army troops, was on his way to encircle the enemy.

He was sitting in the car, with a Japanese major sitting next to him.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we must wipe out this unit this time and never let them escape." said the Japanese major.

"Of course they have fallen into our trap. It is basically impossible for them to escape," said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii with a very confident tone.

I think this group of enemies can be easily wiped out.

"If you ask me, there is no need for the soldiers from Xiangyang to support us. We can annihilate this group of enemies just by ourselves." The Japanese lieutenant colonel continued.

In his opinion, having them was enough and he didn't need any support from others.

"That's not the case. The captain is just being on the safe side. This group of enemies is actually quite tricky.
If there are only a few of them, we can certainly eliminate them alone, but if there are others, it will be a bit troublesome for us." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii explained.

The fact that the enemy was able to inflict losses on Xiangyang showed that they still had some strength, so the commander of the brigade sent people over for support purely for the sake of safety and to avoid any accidents.

"So that's how it is. Our regiment commander is really amazing. Not only did he carefully set up a perfect plan, he even anticipated that the enemy might be more than just a small number and asked for support." Upon hearing this, the Japanese major flattered Tanaka Daiki, even though Tanaka Daiki was not there.

"Once we annihilate this group of enemies, we will have made a great contribution, especially the regiment commander. Maybe we can even get the appreciation of the division commander!" said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

If the wing commander gets promoted because of this, he, a lieutenant colonel who has made great contributions, might also be able to go further and be promoted to wing commander. It's a great idea.

"That's right, Lieutenant Colonel, if you get promoted, don't forget me." The Japanese major said hurriedly.

"No problem. We've worked together for so many years, so I won't ignore you." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii quickly smiled.

"Hehe, then thank you, Lieutenant Colonel. No, thank you, Regiment Commander." The Japanese major even changed his words.

"Don't shout like that. It would be bad if the commander of the regiment heard it." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii had a serious face, but the corners of his mouth wanted to rise from time to time.

It was obvious that the title of "Captain" touched his heart!

"Okay, okay." The Japanese major responded. It was also obvious that Lieutenant Colonel Fujii obviously liked him calling him the regiment commander.

Compared to the two people distributing the credit, the puppet soldiers following behind them were complaining bitterly.

The puppet soldiers felt somewhat uncomfortable as they were sleeping soundly and were suddenly woken up and forced to leave the city.

They cursed the Japs in their hearts and hoped that they would die quickly.

"Lieutenant Colonel, something's wrong!" Suddenly, a three-wheeled motorcycle caught up with Lieutenant Colonel Fujii's car. "Why are you in such a hurry?" The Japanese lieutenant colonel said angrily. They were just thinking about getting promoted and making money, and someone came to disturb them, and they were immediately unhappy.

"No, the regiment commander sent a telegram saying that Jingmen was attacked by the enemy and asked us to go back and provide support immediately!" The Japanese telegraph operator stated the content and handed the telegram to the Japanese major.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii could no longer sit still and reached out to take the telegram to check it.

"How could the enemy appear in Jingmen?!" After reading the telegram, the Japanese lieutenant colonel still looked incredulous.

The enemy is clearly somewhere else, why are there enemies here in Jingmen? !

"What's going on?!" The Japanese major didn't quite understand.

"Send a telegram to the regiment commander immediately and ask him how many enemies attacked Jingmen?!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii ordered the Japanese telegraph operator.

"Hi!" The Japanese telegraph operator nodded, stopped the car and started sending a telegram.

"Stop the troops immediately and change the rear army to the front army." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii gave the order, and the advancing troops all stopped after receiving the order.

"Lieutenant Colonel, do you know what's going on?!" asked the Japanese major.

"I don't know. Let me think about what's going on." After saying this, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii fell into deep thought.

After a while, he finally reacted.

"Oh no! The enemy attacking the checkpoint and bunker is probably just a bait! The enemy did this on purpose, in order to get the commander to send all his men out.
In this way, Jingmen's defense will be empty. In this case, with the enemy's combat power, it is entirely possible to capture Jingmen!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii said.

Now only this statement can explain why the enemy appeared in Jingmen.

"But the problem is, how does the enemy know that our people are not in Jingmen?!" asked the Japanese major.

"Needless to say, the enemy must have known the commander's plan, so they set a trap for us!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii replied.

The enemy would not dare to attack Jingmen unless they knew the commander's plan and knew that most of the troops were concentrated in several county towns.

"What?! How could this be?! The commander's plan is so good that not only the enemy but even we can't figure it out!" The Japanese major couldn't believe it.

He felt that the regiment commander's plan was very clever. He deliberately had the soldiers wear the clothes of the Imperial Army to conceal their identities, and had the Imperial Army wear the clothes of the soldiers to cover up the lack of numbers.

How could the enemy know such a perfect plan?

"Perhaps, there may be enemy spies in the Imperial Army, so the enemy knew the situation and turned against us." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii speculated.

The enemy must have planted a spy in the Imperial Army, which led to the leakage of the plan.

"Baga! This damn spy, if I find him, I must kill him!" Upon hearing this, the Japanese major immediately started cursing.

He was certain that there was a spy in the Imperial Army.

"What's more important now is to go back and support the regiment commander," said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

We can't be in a hurry to catch the spy. If something happens to the captain of the detachment, it will be a big problem.

Jingmen's defense is now weak, and I don't know if it can withstand the enemy's attack.

"Yes, yes, let's rescue the commander first." said the Japanese major.

"Let the Imperial Army in front make way and don't delay the troops' advance." When Lieutenant Colonel Fujii saw that the troops were running a little slowly, he immediately realized that it was the Imperial Army that was running too slowly.

The Japanese messenger also hurried to issue orders.

For a moment, the puppet soldiers stood on both sides of the road to let the Japanese go first.

After all the Japanese troops had passed, the puppet army led the team forward.

"Captain, what's going on? We're advancing and retreating, what are the Japs doing?" A puppet soldier couldn't help but ask the captain beside him.

"Who knows what happened? It has nothing to do with us anyway." The puppet army captain replied.

……

"Lieutenant Colonel, something's wrong. The regiment commander isn't replying to the telegram at all." The Japanese telegraph operator caught up on a three-wheeled motorcycle and said to Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii's face suddenly turned pale.

At this critical moment, if he didn't reply to the telegram, there was only one possibility.

That is, the commander of the regiment saw that Jingmen could no longer be defended, so in order to prevent the radio station from falling into the hands of the enemy, he destroyed the radio station after sending the telegram.

In this situation, the telegraph operator also had to take up guns to fight the enemy, and the situation was extremely critical.

"Lieutenant Colonel, maybe something delayed us, so the regiment commander didn't reply to the telegram immediately." The Japanese major asked Lieutenant Colonel Fujii to think positively.

"No matter what the outcome is, the situation has now reached a very serious moment." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Lieutenant Colonel, there are several county towns near Jingmen. They are much closer than us and will probably reach Jingmen faster than us." said the Japanese major.

There are still many soldiers in the nearby counties. If they go over to support us, we should be able to hold out until they can get back.

"I'm afraid that the enemy may have already considered all this, so they sent people to intercept these soldiers halfway. By then, no one will be able to rescue them except us." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii's face was heavy.

He now realized that the enemy's commander was truly no ordinary man. He was very brave, but also very cautious.

"What? If that's the case, won't the commander of the regiment be in trouble?!" the Japanese major was shocked.

"Alas... Now we can only leave it to fate. There are many things that are beyond our control. I hope the commander of the corps can hide and not be found by the enemy." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii sighed.

No matter how anxious he was, it was of no use. The captain had to rely on himself for everything.

As long as the brigade commander is smart, he will definitely choose to hide. The enemy attacks Jingmen basically for the supplies inside Jingmen and will not spend so much time searching for the brigade commander.

If the captain of the corps was more powerful, he could just find a soldier to wear his clothes and replace him. In this way, the captain of the corps would be safer.

"Well, the commander is so capable, he will definitely be able to turn danger into safety." The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded. Now he could only pray for the commander.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii led his troops and did not dare to let the soldiers stop. The entire army advanced for fear that if they were a step late, something would happen to the regiment commander.

An hour later, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii and his men finally returned to Jingmen. However, the thick smoke rising from Jingmen made Lieutenant Colonel Fujii feel a little uneasy.

Oh no! The enemy has burned the supplies in their warehouse!
