Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 850

"Hurry, hurry into the city!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel hurriedly wanted the soldiers to enter the city.

"Wait!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii called out.

"Lieutenant Colonel, what's wrong?!" The Japanese major was extremely anxious and didn't understand why Lieutenant Colonel Fujii called him.

"It is still uncertain whether there are still enemies in the city. If we rush in rashly, there will probably be heavy casualties!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii explained.

The city gate had been blown up and a fire had broken out in the city. It was not certain whether the enemy had retreated or was waiting for them at the city gate.

If they just entered the city like this, if there was an enemy ambush, they would be caught off guard and suffer heavy casualties.

"Then send a small force into the city to check the situation first?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was stunned when he heard this, and then offered his suggestion.

"Okay." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii nodded. This was the best solution at the moment.

"You, take a small team into the city and see if there are any enemies!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel immediately called a sergeant and asked him to lead the team.

"Major, why don't we let the Imperial Army lead the troops into the city?" the Japanese sergeant suggested.

Who knows if there are enemies inside? If there are enemies, he would be killed by them.

"What you said makes sense. Let's let the Imperial Army enter the city." The Japanese lieutenant colonel agreed decisively. Rather than letting the imperial soldiers suffer casualties, he would rather let the Imperial Army get into trouble.

Soon, a small puppet army unit of about thirty or forty people reluctantly walked towards the city.

They were so nervous that they didn't dare to walk fast.

"Baga! Hurry up or I'll kill you!" The Japanese major was furious.

boom!
He even took out a pistol and fired a shot at the ground next to a puppet soldier, scaring the puppet soldiers so much that they quickly sped up.

They prayed in their hearts that there would be no enemies in the city.

Otherwise, their lives would be lost.

Although these puppet soldiers wanted to turn around and fight the Japanese, fighting meant they would definitely die. There was still a glimmer of hope if they entered the city, in case the enemies in the city had already left.

Soon, this puppet army unit easily entered the city and carefully climbed up the city wall to check if there were any enemies there.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii and the Japanese major were also watching all this nervously. Many Japanese soldiers had already raised their guns and started aiming upwards.

"If there are still enemies in the city, launch an attack directly." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii ordered.

"Lieutenant Colonel, won't all the Imperial Army troops that enter the city die?!" The Japanese major was stunned. There is a difference between letting those Imperial Army troops be killed by the enemy and being killed by them.

"Hmph, now that they have joined us, they should be prepared to sacrifice for the empire at any time!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii snorted coldly.

"I understand!" The Japanese major nodded.

"Madam, there are no enemies here except corpses!" On the city wall, the captain of the puppet army stuck his head out and shouted loudly.

"Enter the city!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and gave the order immediately.

A group of devils entered the city one after another.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii came to the city wall and looked at the corpses all over the ground with an extremely gloomy face.

Many puppet soldiers were still vomiting because they had never seen such a bloody scene.

"Lieutenant Colonel, all the soldiers defending the city were killed." A Japanese soldier came to report.

"Leave some people to clean up the bodies, and the rest of you go to the central military camp." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii got down from the city wall and got into the car.

Not long after, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii and his men arrived at the gate of the military camp. Looking at the warehouse blazing with fire, his heart was bleeding.

"Let some people put out the fire, and the rest of you disperse immediately and go to the alleys to search for the brigade commander!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii ordered.

He believed that the wing commander would not sacrifice himself so easily.

The Japanese soldiers who received the order acted quickly.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii walked into the gate and looked at the fallen bodies. Suddenly, he saw someone wearing the uniform of the regiment commander lying on the ground.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly ran over, turned the body over, and after seeing the other person's face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The dead regiment commander's messenger was not the regiment commander.

"Why is this guy wearing the uniform of a regiment commander?!" The Japanese major also came over and asked with some confusion, how could a small messenger dare to wear the uniform of a regiment commander.

"What do you know? The wing commander must have asked him to wear it, and then he hid himself. In this way, when the enemy saw that the person wearing the wing commander's uniform was dead, they would think that the wing commander was dead and give up the search." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii explained.

"That means the regiment commander should be safe now." The Japanese major nodded and reacted.

"Well, it's probably safe, but I don't know where the wing commander is hiding." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii responded.

At this time, a Japanese soldier ran over in a hurry.

"Lieutenant Colonel, the regiment commander is over there at the warehouse..." Before the Japanese soldier could finish his words, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii ran straight towards the warehouse.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel also hurriedly followed.

Looking at the two people's departing backs, the Japanese soldiers felt helpless for a moment, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii came to the warehouse.

Many Japanese soldiers were fetching water to put out the fire.

Not far away there was a man wearing a white shirt lying on the ground, and there were several Japanese soldiers nearby.

"Damn it, the regiment commander is lying on the ground, why are you... not..." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii walked over and was about to scold the soldiers, but he saw a bullet hole between Tanaka Daiki's eyebrows.

Tanaka Daishu died with his eyes wide open.

"Captain!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii cried out and squatted down.

"How could this happen? Shouldn't the regiment commander have deceived the enemy? Why did he die? Could it be that he was caught before he could run away, or..." The Japanese major didn't say anything else.

"The captain did escape, but the enemy still sent people to search the area. They may know the captain.

So we know that the one who died was a fake, otherwise, the commander of the regiment would not have died!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii could infer this from the bad smell on the commander of the regiment.

After leaving the barracks, the captain most likely hid in a garbage dump, but unexpectedly, he was found.

“What a pity…” The Japanese lieutenant colonel felt a little regretful. He didn’t expect that the regiment commander still couldn’t escape the enemy’s clutches.

"Damn enemy!" The Japanese major gritted his teeth in anger.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii sighed deeply. Perhaps this was the fate of the regiment commander. He had come up with a good idea, but he didn't expect that the enemy actually knew him.

"Lieutenant Colonel, what should we do now? The people who attacked the checkpoints and bunkers can basically be concluded as enemy baits." The Japanese major asked.

"Go to the communications room and call them, tell them not to go over and siege them anymore. It's meaningless now. On the contrary,

Since the enemy dared to do this, they might have already prepared an ambush. If we continue to surround them, we might fall into a trap," Lieutenant Colonel Fujii analyzed.

This group of enemies is too insidious. We must be extremely careful. "Understood." The Japanese lieutenant nodded and immediately ran to the communications room to call the counties one after another, asking them to give up the encirclement and suppression.

At first, the commanders were still wondering what was going on, but when they learned that the commander had died, they decided not to ask any more questions.

More than an hour later, the Japanese soldiers from Nanping County also came to support.

"Baga, why are you so slow?" the Japanese major questioned.

"Major, this is not our fault. Before Jingmen was attacked, the checkpoints and bunkers in Nanping County were also attacked by the enemy.

So I sent my men out, but who knew the enemy would come to Jingmen at this time." The Japanese captain who led the team explained.

Because we had sent people out for support earlier, we were unable to send people over immediately when we received the call for help from the squadron commander.

In order to come to support, they even gave up supporting checkpoints and bunkers.

"What?!" The Japanese major was also stunned when he heard this.

"That is to say, the enemy has been prepared for a long time. I thought they would stop you halfway, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii also spoke.

It seems that things are not what he thought, and the enemy is simply making a fool of them.

"Lieutenant Colonel, this commander is so powerful that it's scary." The Japanese major broke out in a cold sweat.

It is impossible to guess what the enemy commander is thinking.

"This time, we have really encountered a very difficult enemy." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii's face was solemn.

The enemy's command capabilities are far superior to theirs.

"Lieutenant Colonel, if the enemy doesn't leave, we'll be in big trouble." said the Japanese major. It was the first time he felt so scared of an enemy he had never seen before.

"There is only one solution to the current situation, and that is to concentrate our forces to avoid being defeated one by one." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii thought of a solution.

This group of enemies was too powerful and they were basically being led by the nose, so as long as they concentrated their forces, there would not be major casualties.

"Lieutenant Colonel, where is the regiment commander?!" the Japanese captain asked at this time.

"The regiment commander has died in battle." The Japanese major replied. Although they came back quickly, they were still too late and did not catch up.

"What?!" After hearing this, the Japanese captain was as if a thunder had exploded. He never dared to imagine that the regiment commander would actually die in battle.

At this moment.

Ring ring ring......

Suddenly, the phone in the communications room rang. After hearing it, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii walked towards the communications room.

"Moshi Moshi, I'm Fujii."

"Fujii-kun, right? This is Shang Jiuyifu. What's the situation over there?!" Shang Jiuyifu sounded a little surprised when he heard someone answering the phone.

He thought there was no one left.

"The commander of the regiment died bravely, and we fell into the enemy's trap..." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii told the whole story.

When Shang Jiuyifu heard this, he felt his scalp tingling. The enemy was really powerful. They actually set such a big trap for Tanaka Daiki.

"I will report this matter to the brigade commander. The most important thing for you now is to stop your men from encircling and suppressing the enemy.

Avoid being ambushed by the enemy. If so, it may not be as simple as suffering heavy casualties.

After everyone comes back, tomorrow we will have all the soldiers from the counties return to Jingmen and concentrate our forces. Do you understand? !" Shang Jiuyifu began to give a solution to the problem.

"Don't worry, I've already asked someone to do so," replied Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

He had already asked the Japanese major to make a phone call.

"Well, that's good. I have one more thing to trouble you with. Send someone to find the soldiers I sent to support us.
They may have been ambushed by the enemy and their entire army was wiped out. After you have someone find them, send someone to help transport the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle back to Xiangyang." Shang Jiuyifu gave the order.

This was the reason why he made this call. He was basically certain that the soldiers sent for support had been wiped out.

It would take a lot of time to send people there now, and by the time they arrive, the body would probably be unrecognizable.

"Captain of the Upper 9th Regiment, are you saying that the soldiers you sent also died in battle? No way?!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii was shocked when he heard the news.

Didn't they say before that this army would arrive tomorrow at the latest? How come they said that the whole army was wiped out?!

"Well, I can't contact them anymore. It's very likely that they have been completely wiped out and you have been attacked by the enemy.

It is very likely that the enemy saw through the plan, which led to this result." Shang Jiuyifu said.

"But the problem is, we don't know whether the enemy has evacuated here yet. If I send people out now, what if they are ambushed by the enemy?!" said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

If he could send soldiers to help, he would certainly do so, but the situation now is too dangerous.

"Don't you have a lot of Imperial Army on your side? Just send them out to search for it, and give them some benefits so that they will work harder." Shang Jiuyifu said.

He naturally wouldn't let the imperial soldiers take this risk, but it would be fine if he let the Imperial Army go.

The enemy simply didn't bother to attack a weak force like the Imperial Army. It would be much safer for them to go out and look for people than for the imperial soldiers to do so.

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it tomorrow," said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

"Thank you for your hard work, Fujii-kun." said Kamijyuichi.

"You're welcome."

Shang Jiuyifu hung up the phone.

"Lieutenant Colonel, what did the commander of the 9th Regiment say?!" the Japanese major couldn't help but ask.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii told the story!
"What?! The two thousand soldiers sent from Xiangyang were wiped out?! How is it possible?!" The Japanese major was shocked.

They were two thousand elite soldiers, and they were annihilated by the enemy?!
"Well, it can be basically concluded that the captain of the 9th Regiment can no longer contact them." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii nodded. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for that unit not to reply to the telegram. The only explanation was that they were completely wiped out.

"Is this group of enemies really so scary?!" The Japanese major swallowed nervously.

"They are not easy to deal with. Their numbers and equipment are no worse than ours, and their command ability is very strong. It is too difficult to eliminate them." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii felt powerless.

Since I came here, I have never encountered such a powerful enemy.

This army taught them a hard lesson.

.........

At this time, Li Jin also met up with Liu Changshun and others.

"How is everything? Is everything okay?!" The first thing Li Jin did when they met was to ask whether Liu Changshun and the others had any casualties.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander, no one is left behind." Liu Changshun responded.

"Well, let's retreat." Li Jin nodded.
