Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

When Li Jin and his friends returned to Taiping Town, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

It's time to eat.

Li Jin, Liu Changshun and several company commanders were sitting at a table eating.

At the dinner table, Li Jin told a few people some things.

"Battalion Commander, when do we set off?!" Liu Changshun asked.

Everyone else also looked at Li Jin.

"Maybe the day after tomorrow." Li Jin said after thinking for a while.

The day when the Japanese attack is getting closer and closer. The sooner we go there, the sooner we can participate in the battle.

Everyone nodded.

"By the way, remember to wear the military uniforms you were issued when you set off, so as to avoid trouble later." Li Jin reminded.

"Understood." Everyone responded.

Time flies, and soon it is the day after tomorrow.

Kong Sheng came to find Li Jin early in the morning.

"Captain Mu, the car is ready. How about we set off right after we finish eating?" Kong Sheng asked Li Jin for his opinion.

"No problem." Li Jin nodded.

At around seven in the morning, the soldiers of the special operations battalion moved all the supplies they brought into the vehicle.

Because there were not enough military vehicles, half of the soldiers in the special operations battalion needed to run forward, but this was not a big deal for the soldiers in the special operations battalion.

Five days later.

Li Jin and his team arrived at Xiangbei’s first line of defense.

They passed many checkpoints along the way, but because they had greeted them before, the soldiers at the checkpoints simply checked their documents and let them pass. It went very smoothly.

"Captain Mu, as you said, we have arrived here. I will leave first." Kong Sheng said.

"Leave?! You still want to leave?!" Li Jin said with a smile.

"Ah?!" Kong Sheng was stunned when he heard this, not understanding what Li Jin meant.

"Your men have to fight with me." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Um... Captain Mu, aren't you planning to go around to the rear of the Japanese? Is it appropriate for me to lead people there?!" Kong Sheng was stunned.

He was worried that if he brought people with him, he would hinder Mu Jin.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'm here for you. What do you have to be afraid of?" Li Jin patted Kong Sheng's shoulder and told him not to worry.

"Captain Mu, you said this, so I won't be polite. But don't think I'm a drag when the time comes," said Kong Sheng.

"No, I asked you to stay. How could I dislike you for holding us back? Don't worry." Li Jin didn't think that Kong Sheng's group would hold him back.

These days, he also realized that the soldiers in Kong Sheng's regiment were much more powerful than other soldiers, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were elite.

Among the soldiers in this regiment, nearly half are veterans who survived Fengling.

"I'll distribute some of the equipment I brought to you. I'll give you 50 light machine guns, 20 heavy machine guns, and enough bullets. What do you think?" Li Jin said.

Since we have to bring the 335th Regiment along, we naturally cannot let the firepower of this regiment be too weak.

Fifty light machine guns and twenty heavy machine guns are not a small number.

"Captain Mu, you are kidding, right? Are you really giving it to our regiment?!" Kong Sheng was stunned when he heard that.

If these machine guns were added to their regiment's original firepower, it would not be weak. He even dared to fight the Japanese head-on.

"It's not a giving, it's a loan. You have to return it to me after the war." Li Jin emphasized that with so many guns, how could he possibly give them away.

He was going to take it back for the soldiers at the base, so how could he possibly give it to Kong Sheng?

"That's fine." Kong Sheng felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but then he thought that borrowing it was not bad either.

This was the first time their regiment had so many machine guns.

"Captain Mu, where did you get so many machine guns?" Kong Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think?!" Li Jin looked at Kong Sheng as if he were a fool.

"Um... I'm sorry, I forgot that you slapped the Japanese a few times on the way here." Kong Sheng smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, I will distribute guns to you on the way. Now, it's time for us to act." Li Jin said. He knew that the Japanese were about to take action and their offensive arrangements were almost ready.

That night, Li Jin led a regiment of Kong Sheng, left the first line of defense, and started to take a detour, intending to get behind the enemy lines.

See if there is any chance to take action against the Japanese logistics troops.

A brigade commander on this line of defense also watched Kong Sheng and his men leave.

Only after knowing that Kong Sheng and the others had disappeared from his sight did he lead his men back to the command center.

"Commander, what is this General Liang doing? Why did he send a regiment here? He also said that the troops of this regiment would go around to the rear of the Japanese and attack the Japanese logistics team.
With just these few people, they ran to the rear of the Japanese. Are they sure they are not going to die?! Did they offend General Liang and let General Liang find an excuse to kill them?! "The chief of staff at the side couldn't help but say.

He really couldn't understand why Commander Liang had to do this.

What can a 3,000-man army do if they go around the enemy's rear?

They also attacked the Japanese's logistics troops. If they were discovered by the Japanese, these 3,000 people would be like a pile of dumplings and would not be able to escape.

Therefore, he seriously suspected that this regiment had offended Commander Liang and was sent here to die.

"I don't think so. Many of the soldiers in the 335th Regiment are veterans who survived Fengling. They are very capable.
If we can find an opportunity, we might be able to achieve a different effect." Brigade Commander Luo Jiucheng shook his head. He had a different opinion.

"Even if they are veterans, I don't think it will be easy to defeat the Japanese if they just run behind their lines. It's too dangerous." The chief of staff was not optimistic about this opportunity.

"Not necessarily. Commander Xue must have known that General Liang sent someone here. Since Commander Xue agreed,
It is very likely that they agree with this plan, so we, the soldiers, should not think too much about it. "Luo Jiucheng replied.

Although he also thinks it is quite risky, but since Commander Xue thinks it is okay, then it should be okay.

"Yes, let's take a look at the situation of the defense line and deal with the enemy's attack from behind." Upon hearing this, the chief of staff did not say anything more.

"The Japanese are coming with great force. If we can't stop them, we should retreat. Don't hold on. As our superiors said, there is no need to fight the Japanese to the death." Luo Jiuchen said.

They don't have to defend their line with all their might. "Understood." The chief of staff nodded.

.........

At this time, in Changde, Liang Gu's office.

"General, Kong Sheng and his men have already arrived there, and Mu Jin has brought Kong Sheng's 335th Regiment along." Han Mingyuan came over to report to Liang Gu.

"Well, that's fine." Liang Gu nodded.

"General, Mu Jin brought Kong Sheng with him. Could it be that he wants to use Kong Sheng as bait?!" Han Mingyuan couldn't help but say.

"It shouldn't happen. In other words, Mu Jin won't let the 335th Regiment suffer heavy casualties." Liang Gu was quite relieved about this.

"That's true. When I worked with Mu Jin before, he didn't let us suffer too many casualties." Han Mingyuan nodded.

"General, I'll go down first." Han Mingyuan didn't say anything more.

"Wait, have someone pay close attention to the telegrams sent by Kong Sheng. Report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation." Liang Gu stopped Han Mingyuan and gave him instructions.

"Yes!" Han Mingyuan nodded, then left the office and closed the door.

Liang Gu lit a cigarette and just as he took a puff, the phone in front of him rang.

Liang Gu quickly picked up the phone.

"Lao Liang, your people have already arrived at the front line. Now can you tell me why you sent this unit to take action?

You can't really send them to die, right? If that's the case, I'll have to kill you in advance." A male voice came from the phone.

"Hehe, Commander, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I'm afraid you won't believe it." Liang Gu said with a smile.

"Whether I believe it or not depends on what you say," Commander Xue said.

"Okay, you still remember the two battles fought by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. My people also participated in them." Liang Gu asked.

"Yes, I remember." Commander Xue nodded. This matter was quite big. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had annihilated so many devils, and basically everyone knew about it.

"In fact, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was able to win those two battles because of a Northeast Army. The Northeast Army was very powerful.
When we were in Fengling, it was this Northeast Army that helped us.

At that time, you can guess how many people there are in this army." Liang Gu deliberately kept it a secret.

"I remember your telegram said three thousand people, but it should be more than one thousand, right?" Commander Xue thought for a while and said a number.

He had also read the battle report of Liang Gu's battle, so he knew about this matter.

However, such a great credit was not attributed to the Northeastern Army.

"A thousand people? Commander, you've overestimated. When I met them, this army only had three hundred people!

But in order to make the battle report credible, I wrote ten times more of their number, and even so, some people still don't believe the battle report I wrote." Liang Gu continued.

When he wrote that there were 3,000 people, many people suspected that he was exaggerating. If he had really written that there were 300 people, basically no one would believe him.

"You mean, a small force of 300 people plus you wiped out an entire brigade of the Japanese?!" Commander Xue was a little surprised.

He originally thought that a thousand people was already quite a small number, but he didn't expect the reality to be even smaller than he thought. It was simply unbelievable.

Is there really someone who can train a force more powerful than the Japanese? !
"Yes, I, Liang Gu, guarantee with my head that everything I said is true.
Then they went to Shanxi, where Mu Jin led his men to fight the Japanese invaders and put the blame on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Then…" Liang Gu began to talk about this matter in detail again.

"Under Mu Jin's leadership, the people over there were able to wipe out so many devils in one fell swoop.
It can be said that more than half of the Japanese were killed by this Northeast Army." Liang Gu continued.

"You mean, this Northeastern Army is actually in the regiment you sent?!" Commander Xue reacted and realized that Liang Gu had said so much just to tell him that the Northeastern Army was in the 335th Regiment.

"Yeah." Liang Gu nodded.

"Even if they are very powerful and run behind the Japanese, they will be dead once they are surrounded. Aren't you sending them to their deaths?!" Commander Xue said unhappily.

How could such a powerful force be sent to carry out such a dangerous mission?

"Commander, I didn't send this person. Mu Jin went there on his own. Mu Jin is very good at fighting and even guessed your deployment.
Then he made this decision. He was not a fool and would not attack the devils right from the start.
Most likely, he was waiting for the enemy to break through the first line of defense before attacking their logistics forces.

So, he will most likely be fine, and he values ​​the lives of his soldiers more than anyone else." Liang Gu said.

Although he also felt that what Mu Jin did was quite dangerous, he did not stop him when he remembered that Mu Jin attached great importance to his soldiers.

"You can't command him?!" Commander Xue asked. From what Liang Gu said, it seemed that Liang Gu could not command this army!
"He and I are just partners. I asked him to come here just to help. It's impossible to command him." Liang Gu replied.

If only he could command this army.

"Is this army really that powerful?!" Commander Xue frowned.

"When he led his men here, he passed by Xiangyang and Jingmen. He led his men to attack these two places directly and also took down Jingmen.
This is what happened recently. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out.
The Japanese troops in these two places are now gathering together, for fear of being defeated one by one by Mu Jin. "Liang Gu suggested. He knew that Commander Xue had not seen it with his own eyes, so it was normal for him to be skeptical about it.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, just make your own decision as long as it doesn't affect my subsequent plans." Commander Xue didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Jin led his men to the rear of the Japanese, but it actually did not affect his plan.

However, what he was more concerned about was that Mu Jin could actually guess his intentions through the map, which was quite impressive.

You know, it took him a long time to come up with this way of fighting.

That Mu Jin actually saw through it so quickly, could he really be a monster? !
.........

Two days later, Li Jin led his men into a forest. This location was not in the direction of the Japanese attack, so they could wait here with peace of mind.

"Captain Mu, what are we doing here? Aren't we going to attack the Japanese's logistics troops?!" Kong Sheng was a little confused.

From the first day to now, Mu Jin has been taking a detour, and he really can't understand Mu Jin's intentions.

"Of course we have to attack, but not now. It's not the right time yet," said Li Jin.

"Then when will it start?!" Kong Sheng wondered.

"After the Japanese break through the first line of defense and cross the river, it will be time for us to take action," Li Jin said slowly.

Once the Japanese cross the river, there will be fewer Japanese troops in the rear. They can launch a fierce attack on the Japanese logistics troops at will, making it impossible for the Japanese logistics troops to keep up with the Japanese main force!
By then, if the supply cannot keep up, the Japanese army will know what trouble is.

"So, our mission for the next few days is to stay here?! And do nothing?!" Kong Sheng understood a little.
