Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Around three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Li Jin and his men had already evacuated Jingmen and started heading towards Changde.

At half past five, the special operations battalion took a short break and had dinner.

"Xiao Liu, send a telegram to Commander Han and tell him that we will arrive in Taiping Town in ten days and that everything that needs to be prepared should be prepared." Li Jin called Liu Changshun and gave him instructions.

"Yes." Liu Changshun nodded, turned and left.

Li Jin took out a map and began to check the situation in Changde.

It is now August 25th, and there are less than 20 days left before the Japanese launch the war. After rushing to Changde and meeting up with Liang Gu, and coordinating the operations, we will be able to catch up.

.........

Changde, in Liang Gu’s office.

After receiving the telegram, Han Mingyuan rushed in.

"General, we received a telegram from Captain Mu, saying that he will arrive in Taiping Town in ten days." Han Mingyuan hurriedly told the contents of the telegram.

"So soon?! I thought it would be a few days later." Liang Gu was stunned and said.

He originally thought that since Mu Jin had taken action against the Japanese, he would not come over so soon.

"Commander, then I'll lead the team to pick him up? And bring military uniforms for them to change into." Han Mingyuan suggested.

He wanted to go and pick up Mu Jin in person. As for the military uniform, that was Mu Jin's request and they had already prepared it.

"No, let Kong Sheng pick him up. If you go, you will be too obvious and easily attract other people's attention." Liang Gu shook his head and said.

Han Mingyuan is, after all, a high-ranking official at the level of deputy division commander. If he leaves the command center, he will easily be discovered by some people. Then, Mu Jin and others will be targeted.

Therefore, there is no need for Gao Mingxuan to go in person. Just let someone who knows Mu Jin lead a team to pick him up.

"But if I don't go, will Mu Jin think that I'm putting on airs? It would be bad if he gets angry then." Han Mingyuan said after a moment of hesitation.

He got along well with Mu Jin in Shanxi, but he didn't even go to pick him up when he came back. What kind of friend are they?

"Don't worry, Mu Jin is smarter than we thought. He used to be here and understands why you don't want to go." Liang Gu was not that worried.

Mu Jin is not only good at fighting, but also very meticulous and can see the problems. Therefore, Han Mingyuan doesn't need to worry so much!

"Okay, then I'll arrange for Kong Sheng to bring some veterans to pick him up. I believe he can see how much I value him." Han Mingyuan nodded in agreement.

"Well, let's do it this way. Go and make preparations. Don't forget to prepare things for Mu Jin." Liang Gu nodded and gave instructions.

"Understood. I will have someone supervise." Han Mingyuan replied. He would not lack the things prepared for Mu Jin so as not to offend Mu Jin.

He would rather offend other people than Mu Jin. If the other party really wanted to kill him, no one could protect him.

"Go ahead." Liang Gu waved his hand.

After Han Mingyuan left Liang Gu's office, he went to Kong Sheng's office as soon as possible.

"Master!" Kong Sheng was sitting behind the desk. When he saw Han Mingyuan coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Master, please sit down, please sit down." Kong Sheng quickly gave up his seat to Han Mingyuan.

In response to this, Han Mingyuan sat down without any hesitation.

"Master, why did you come here in person? You could have just sent someone to inform me." Kong Sheng said with a smile, very respectful.

"Mu Jin and the others are almost here." Han Mingyuan said.

"Captain Mu?! When will they arrive?" Kong Sheng was also somewhat happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mu Jin was coming.

Thinking back to when he had cooperated with Mu Jin and had such a great time killing the Japanese, he felt very comfortable. He thought that he could cooperate with Mu Jin again this time.

"Ten days later, they will resist Taiping Town. When the time comes, you will take people to pick him up in person and bring the military uniforms and some supplies over." Han Mingyuan ordered.

"I understand, but, Commander, when Captain Mu comes, won't you go and pick him up in person?!" Kong Sheng said after a moment of hesitation.

From what the master said, it seems that he doesn't plan to go to pick it up in person.

"My target is too big and will easily attract other people's attention, so you will take it. Remember,

I have to explain to him that I can’t go there in person, otherwise Mu Jin will be angry, understand? ! "Han Mingyuan explained and gave instructions.

Although the military commander said that Mu Jin could understand, for safety reasons, it would be better to let Kong Sheng explain it to Mu Jin when the time comes. This way, Mu Jin probably wouldn't be angry.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will explain it to Captain Mu. By then, will Captain Mu and the others follow my 335th Regiment?!" Kong Sheng asked.

If so, that would be great. I can follow Mu Jin and reap the credit.

"They are affiliated with your regiment, but they act on their own and will not obey our orders. Do you understand?!" Han Mingyuan also knew what Kong Sheng was thinking.

However, even if Mu Jin followed the 335th Regiment, he would never obey Kong Sheng's command.

"Of course. How dare I command them? I'm lucky enough that Mu Jin doesn't command me." Kong Sheng laughed. He still knew his own weight!

Wanting to command Mu Jin is simply thinking too much.

"Anyway, by then, they will be soldiers from the 4th Battalion of the 335th Regiment. When Mu Jin and his men are on the move, they will inevitably pass through some defense zones.
Go there under this name, and if someone calls to ask, just admit it directly." Han Mingyuan explained.

Generally speaking, Mu Jin doesn't need to listen to their commands, and when Mu Jin uses their names, they just need to acknowledge it and don't need to do anything else.

"I understand." Kong Sheng nodded.

"I'm leaving now. Remember, in ten days, don't forget the time.
After receiving Mu Jin and the others, they will be arranged in the military camp of Taiping Town first, and then Mu Jin will be brought to meet me and the commander. " Han Mingyuan stood up and left after giving instructions.

"Master, please take care. Take care." Kong Sheng sent Han Mingyuan to the door.

"Commander, what did the military commander want to talk to you about?!" The deputy commander came over at this time, and someone came to inform him of Han Mingyuan's coming.

"Mu Jin is coming." Kong Sheng said with a smile.

"What?! Mu Jin is here so soon?!" the chief of staff said in surprise.

Although he did not follow the regiment commander to fight the Japanese, he had met the enemy in Fengling and knew how powerful Mu Jin and his soldiers were.

"Well, they will still be affiliated with our regiment at that time, but they will not be under our command. On the contrary, we have to cooperate with them." Kong Sheng nodded, with a smile on his face.

"That's good. With Mu Jin and the others here, we can kill more Japanese. Last time you went there, you didn't bring me with you. This time it's different." said the chief of staff.

"Of course, with Mu Jin and the others here, fighting the Japanese is as easy as eating and drinking.
On the way here, they even attacked the Japanese. It is said that the Japanese in Xiangyang were beaten by Mu Jin once, and they were so scared that they withdrew their troops and gave up some small counties they occupied. "Kong Sheng told the story.

This is also what the master told him before.

"Captain Mu is worthy of his reputation. While he was on his way, he gave the Japanese a big slap in the face." The chief of staff couldn't help but admire him. Others were in a hurry because they were afraid of being discovered by the Japanese. Mu Jin was in a hurry because he was afraid that the Japanese were too cowardly and not enough to kill.

.........

In the following days, the Japanese in Jingmen had concentrated their forces. As for the occupied counties, they simply chose to abandon them and let the Imperial Army manage them, not daring to send soldiers over at all.

There was no way. These Japanese were really scared. The enemy even dared to attack Jingmen and killed the regiment commander. It was really scary.

They didn't dare leave Jingmen casually.

The number of civilians in the county towns guarded by the puppet army also increased, because the puppet troops in the city did not dare to be too arrogant. Even the number of patrols was reduced. Everyone hid at home, fearing that the enemy would attack.

Even the Japanese were driven out of the county by the enemy, how dare they still be so arrogant, are they afraid of losing their lives? !

Jingmen, inside the Japanese command center.

Lieutenant Colonel Fujii has been on high alert these days, fearing that the enemy will attack.

Ring ring ring......

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang, scaring Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

He reached out and answered the phone. It was the captain of the puppet army who was searching for the bodies of the Xiangyang soldiers.

"Mr. Fujii, we have found the people, about two thousand in number," said the puppet army captain.

After several days of fear, they finally found it.

"Okay, tell me your location right away and I'll have someone drive over there." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii said quickly.

"Okay, we are at..." The puppet army captain quickly gave the location.

After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Fujii hung up the phone and called his major, asking him to send a military vehicle to transport the body.

"I never thought that the 2,000 soldiers in Xiangyang were actually wiped out by the enemy. Fortunately, we retreated quickly that night, otherwise, this might have been my fate." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii still felt a little scared when he thought of this.

The enemy was able to eliminate so many elite soldiers. If they were also ambushed, the same outcome would probably happen.

"Let's call the captain of the Shangjiu Regiment first." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii thought for a moment, picked up the phone and called Shangjiu Yifu in Xiangyang.

"Is that Fujii-kun?!" The voice of Kamijou Kazuo came from the phone. At this time, the person who called him was most likely Fujii.

"Captain of the Upper 9th Regiment, it's me. The soldiers you sent have been found. They were indeed wiped out. I have now sent people to transport their bodies." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii told the story.

"Oh... sorry to bother you." Shang Jiuyi couldn't help but sigh when he heard that.

Although he had guessed with a high probability that the person he sent had died, he still felt a little sad when the news was confirmed.

Fortunately, this time, the deceased Daiki Tanaka took the blame and his position was not evacuated, which was a blessing in disguise.

"It's no trouble. It's just a piece of cake." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii said.

"The brigade commander is very angry about this incident." Kamijou Ichifu said. When he reported the matter, the brigade commander scolded Tanaka Daiki all over.

If Tanaka Daiki had not died heroically, the brigade commander would probably have cursed for a long time.

"As expected. It's not the commander's fault. It's just that the enemy is too cunning," said Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

He thought the captain's plan was quite powerful, but he didn't expect the enemy to be so powerful. Not only did they see through their plan, but they also turned around and beat them up!
"You haven't been attacked by the enemy in the past few days, right?!" Shang Jiuyifu changed the subject and asked. He wanted to know whether Jingmen had been attacked by the enemy in the past few days.

"No, the enemy seems to have retreated, but I can't guarantee it. If they haven't retreated, it would be very dangerous for them to continue the attack." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii replied.

This group of enemies is powerful and somewhat insidious and cunning. If there are fewer of them, they cannot defeat them, but if there are more of them, the other side will not be fooled.

Just like a mosquito, not only can you not hit it, but it's also extremely annoying and can bite you and suck your blood.

"We still have to be careful. This group of enemies is indeed not simple." Shang Jiuyifu warned.

"Captain of the Upper 9th Regiment, what did the brigade commander say about this group of enemies? Should he report to his superiors and send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them?" asked Lieutenant Colonel Fujii.

To be honest, he felt that this army was too dangerous. If it was not eliminated, it would be very troublesome.

"Don't worry about them for now. The other troops have more important tasks to do right now. Do you understand?!" Shang Jiuyifu said.

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Fujii nodded and said, "Captain of the Upper 9th Regiment, you'd better be on guard as well. The enemy has not been with me these days and may have returned to Xiangyang. You have to be careful."

"Okay, I know. Let's leave it at that for now." Shang Jiuyifu hung up the phone.

"Alas... this group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops is really troublesome." Lieutenant Colonel Fujii put down the phone and couldn't help but sigh again.

He was really convinced.

That night, only a few hundred of their men died, but the corps commander also died.

…………

Ten days later, around ten o'clock in the morning, Kong Sheng brought hundreds of veterans and arrived at Taiping Town carrying their belongings.

Kong Sheng went directly to the military camp in the town.

The team was led by a company commander. Upon learning that Kong Sheng was coming, he crawled to the door to greet him.

"Commander!" The company commander stood up and saluted Kong Sheng.

"Yeah." Kong Sheng nodded expressionlessly.

"Commander, you've just arrived, why are you bringing things with you?" The company commander saw some soldiers bringing things and thought that Kong Sheng brought them to him.

"What are you thinking about? These things have nothing to do with you." Kong Sheng said unhappily.

"Um... Commander, I'm sorry, it's my problem." The company commander was stunned and said quickly.

"It's okay, let's talk inside." Kong Sheng shook his head.

"Please come in, Commander." The company commander led the way.

"The defense of Taiping Town has not been relaxed, right?" Kong Sheng asked casually.

"Don't worry, Commander. Everything is carried out strictly in accordance with your requirements. No one dares to slack off." The company commander replied.

He was also a veteran who survived Fengling, but he was only a squad leader. However, because he killed many Japanese devils and had some ability, he was directly promoted to company commander. His promotion speed was not slow, and he was also sent to garrison an important town.

"That's good. Those who are supposed to patrol should do their job. If anyone is lazy, just deal with them directly. I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong." Kong Sheng said. He didn't want any problems to happen here.
