Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 865

When the Japanese were bombarded by artillery shells, Luo Jiucheng was also stunned.

"Commander, is it Brigade Commander Liu who is here? The firepower is so fierce!" said the chief of staff on the side.

He thought it was Liu Xin who brought people to support him.

"It can't be Lao Liu. Even if they come to support us without stopping, they can't come so fast, and they don't have such strong firepower. It must be Kong Sheng and the others who come to support us!" Luo Jiucheng analyzed it immediately.

Liu Xin could not provide support so quickly, and the only one who could support them, besides Liu Xin, was Kong Sheng’s 335th Regiment.

"What?! Captain Kong and his men are here?! Could it be that they failed to stop the Japanese and came here to support them?!

If that's the case, then the devils on the other side would have been let go!" said the chief of staff.

I thought Kong Sheng and his men would stop the Japanese on the other side, but now it seems that they let the Japanese escape?!
"Not necessarily. Maybe the Japanese broke through their defense line and escaped." Luo Jiuchen said.

If the Japanese were allowed to escape and Kong Sheng came to support them, this would still be possible.

"Of course, it is also possible that the Japs were almost wiped out by them, so they came to support us, but I feel this possibility is more likely." Luo Jiuchen continued.

He must have underestimated the fighting power of Kong Sheng and his men, and the Japanese were really annihilated by them.

"Let the soldiers counterattack immediately! Charge out and fight the Japanese!" Luo Jiuchen gave the order immediately.

.........

Da da da………

Bang bang bang…

Liu Changshun and his men occupied the top of the hill and shot at the Japanese, who were shot and fell to the ground one by one.

The deputy commander of the 335th Regiment also led his men to attack the Japanese from the flank.

At this time, the soldiers on Luo Jiuchen's side also rushed out of the trenches.

Ding ding ding…………

Puff puff………

The two sides immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and both sides suffered casualties.

The Japs were very skilled in bayonet fighting, and in a one-on-one situation, they could easily stab a National Army soldier to death. However, they did not fight one-on-one, but rather one against several.

For a time, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties!
Deputy Captain Zhao of the 335th Regiment targeted the Japanese lieutenant colonel. Holding a ghost-head knife, he fought with the Japanese lieutenant colonel for several rounds.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the National Army unit ambushing the regiment commander." The Japanese lieutenant colonel stood in front of him with a samurai sword in his hand and spoke in unfluent Chinese.

"You little Japanese can speak Chinese. I am from a troop lying in ambush in the northeast direction." said Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao.

The two men moved slowly, neither daring to be careless, because they both knew that the person in front of them was very powerful.

"You've been fooled. I tried my best to break out, just to lure you over and create an opportunity for the regiment commander to break out." The Japanese lieutenant colonel said this and then laughed, as if he had the upper hand.

If he guessed correctly, the troops coming to support should be half of the ambush personnel. Their firepower was so strong that ordinary troops could not have such firepower.

"Little Japanese, do you really think your regiment commander can run away?!" Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"It's impossible for you to intercept the regiment commander with only half of your remaining troops. Stop fooling yourself." Upon hearing this, the Japanese lieutenant colonel felt a little uneasy, but still spoke stubbornly.

"What a joke! When our captain learned that your captain had only more than a thousand people, he sent us here to support him in advance. It would be easy for half of our people to kill your captain!" Deputy Captain Zhao continued.

With Mu Jin and the others around, he didn't think the Japanese captain could escape. Perhaps the Japanese captain had already been killed, and Mu Jin and the others were on their way.

"Hmph, let's see who is right." The Japanese lieutenant colonel snorted coldly, found an opportunity to step forward and quickly chop down at Deputy Captain Zhao's head.

Deputy Captain Zhao quickly blocked the attack and was forced back several steps.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel stepped forward and slashed at the deputy commander's abdomen with his knife.

Deputy Captain Zhao was so frightened that he quickly pointed the knife downward and held the handle with both hands.

Ding!
The samurai sword and the demon sword collided, making a metal collision sound!

boom!
At this moment, a gunshot was heard. Before the Japanese lieutenant colonel could react, a bullet pierced his temple. The bullet flew out and hit a sandbag not far away, and sand flowed out.

The person who fired the shot was Liu Changshun. He shot and killed the Japanese lieutenant colonel from two hundred meters away.

Blood flowed from the Japanese lieutenant colonel's wound. He fell backwards with his eyes wide open, and died with his eyes open.

At this time, all the Japanese on the battlefield had been killed.

"We won! We won!" Luo Jiuchen's soldiers cheered happily. After a bloody battle, they finally wiped out the Japs. It was not easy.

Liu Changshun walked towards Deputy Headman Zhao.

"Captain Liu, how could you shoot and kill this Japanese soldier? I haven't even used any strength yet." The vice president couldn't help but complain to Liu Changshun.

He was only at a disadvantage for a moment. If he was given some time, he would definitely be able to kill the Japanese lieutenant colonel with his sword. However, he did not expect that his plan was thwarted by Liu Changshun's shot.

"Haha, it's my problem." Liu Changshun smiled. In fact, he just felt that the deputy regiment commander could not beat the Japanese lieutenant colonel, so he helped. If this man died, he would not be able to explain to the battalion commander.

"But thank you anyway." The deputy head also smiled.

"You're welcome. We are all family." Liu Changshun responded.

Luo Jiucheng and the chief of staff also ran out of the trench and came to Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao.

"Brigade Commander Luo, Chief of Staff Chen!" Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao saluted when he saw the two men.

Luo Jiucheng also returned the greeting.

"Why are you alone? Where is your Captain Kong? Could it be that..." Luo Jiuchen's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Captain Kong died in the battle? No way.

"Brigade Commander Luo, please don't worry about it. The regiment commander is fine." Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao also said hurriedly, and almost let Brigade Commander Luo send their regiment commander away.

"It seems that I was overthinking it. Where is your commander now?!" Luo Jiucheng asked.

If everything is fine, why don’t I see Captain Kong and the others?

"They have probably already wiped out the Japanese over there and are on their way here," replied Deputy Captain Zhao.

"What you mean is that Captain Kong should kill the Japanese first and then send you here?!" Luo Jiucheng was stunned when he heard this and said.

"Well, when our regiment commander learned that the enemy troops were only about a battalion in number, he sent us here to provide support." The deputy regiment commander did not hide anything and said directly that this was the fact. No, it was Mu Jin who said he would come to provide support.

"How can it be possible for half of their people to fight against a large battalion of Japanese devils? Come on, come on, follow me to provide support." Luo Jiuchen became anxious upon hearing this.

He felt that Kong Sheng didn't want to see the Japanese here run away, so he sent people to support them, wanting to kill the Japanese here before providing support.

"Brigade Commander Luo, there's really no need to go. Two thousand people are enough. If you don't believe me, we can just wait here for a while. They will be here in half an hour at most." Deputy Regiment Commander Zhao said.

"Deputy Captain Zhao, you should have no grudge against your regiment commander, right?!" the chief of staff couldn't help but say. He thought that Deputy Captain Zhao deliberately prevented them from going to support.

"How is that possible? I just don't want you to make a wasted trip. Believe me, the commander and others will be here soon." Deputy Captain Zhao said seriously.

"Okay." After hearing this, Luo Jiucheng no longer insisted, but he remained skeptical about whether Kong Sheng could wipe out a battalion of Japanese devils with only two thousand people.

"Speaking of which, have the Japanese's backup forces been annihilated by you?!" Luo Jiuchen asked this question. He was not sure whether the Japanese's backup forces were really annihilated by the Japanese.

"Well, we wiped out the Japanese's backup forces a few days ago and stole their supplies." Deputy Captain Zhao nodded and admitted it directly.

"You guys are really awesome. I thought you were asking for trouble by running behind the enemy lines, but I didn't expect you to actually do it." The chief of staff also admired me.

In fact, he initially thought that the 335th Regiment was seeking death by doing this. It seemed that he was underestimating others.

If the 335th Regiment had not come to support them this time, they would not know how many soldiers would have been sacrificed.

"Come to think of it, when we were fighting the Japanese on the front line, you used artillery to blow up the Japanese artillery positions, which helped us a lot." Luo Jiuchen said.

At that time, the Japanese artillery fire was still very fierce. If the 335th Regiment had not destroyed a lot of the Japanese artillery, their casualties would have been even greater.

"It's what we should do. We are all family and should help each other." Deputy Captain Zhao replied with a smile.

"No matter what, I'll remember these two favors." Luo Jiuchen said seriously. Without Kong Sheng's help, their brigade would have suffered heavy casualties.

Deputy Head Zhao didn't say much.

Luo Jiuchen's soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield. They used bayonets to finish off the Japanese corpses. In contrast, the soldiers of the 335th Regiment were using bullets to finish off the Japanese corpses.

Luo Jiucheng's eyelids twitched wildly when he saw this.

"Brigade Commander, the 335th Regiment is really rich. They even use bullets to make up for the loss." The chief of staff couldn't help but say.

Those are bullets. When supplies are scarce, bullets are more valuable than human lives.

But looking at the soldiers of the 335th Regiment, they seemed not to care about the consumption of these bullets at all, which was obviously a manifestation of their wealth.

"Well, a little bit. Many of the weapons in their hands are the Japanese's weapons. They have also annihilated the Japanese's support troops before and seized a lot of weapons." Luo Jiuchen nodded.

Each of the Japanese soldiers was equipped with more than a hundred rounds of bullets. The bullets seized from the soldiers alone were a huge amount, not to mention the Japanese supplies!

It's not known how many bullets there were, so it's completely understandable that the soldiers of the 335th Regiment would use the bullets to reload their guns.

"By the way, send a telegram to Lao Liu immediately and tell him that the Japanese have been wiped out by us and the soldiers of the 335th Regiment, so that they don't have to rush so far." Luo Jiuchen suddenly remembered that he had not yet sent a telegram to Liu Xin to inform him of the battle situation.

"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded and continued, "Then we should also send a telegram to the division commander to report the battle situation."

"Well, send it quickly." Luo Jiucheng nodded.

The chief of staff then sent someone to send a telegram.

.........

Changde, in Liang Gu’s office.

Han Mingyuan walked in with a telegram in his hand, smiling.

"General, good news!" Han Mingyuan said as soon as he came in and saw Liang Gu.

"Mu Jin has already started to attack the Japanese? How many Japanese have been killed?!" Liang Gu knew what was going on after hearing this.

"Yes, Mu Jin and his men led Kong Sheng to annihilate the backup force of a Japanese battalion, and then annihilated another Japanese battalion, and also killed a Japanese regiment commander." Han Mingyuan told the story.

"I knew that with Mu Jin and the others here, the Japanese won't have a good time." Liang Gu said with a smile.

Choosing to cooperate with Mu Jin this time was a wise move. It had only been a short time since we went there, but we had already killed more than 2,000 Japanese devils.

"Yeah, I'm worried that the Japanese will just run away." Han Mingyuan said jokingly.

"This telegram was sent in the early morning. Why did you get it just now?!" Liang Gu asked after taking a look at the time the telegram was received.

"General, I don't think it's a big deal, so I didn't come to disturb you to rest." Han Mingyuan hurriedly explained that he really didn't want to disturb Liang Gu's sleep, so he waited until the morning to come and report.

"Well, this kind of battle situation can be reported later." Liang Gu nodded and said. He didn't intend to blame Han Mingyuan because the other party was also thinking about him.

"However, if Mu Jin sends a telegram asking for cooperation in the battle, you must report it as soon as possible and cannot delay. Do you understand?!" Liang Gu reminded again.

"Don't worry, Commander. I have already instructed the telegraph operator." Han Mingyuan said quickly. This was how he arranged the telegraph operator.

"Well, I'm confident in your ability to do the job. Go down first and report to me if you have anything to say." Liang Gu nodded and waved his hand to let Han Mingyuan leave.

"Okay, Commander, I'll leave first." Han Mingyuan slowly walked out of the office and closed the door.

.........

At this time, Liu Xin was leading his men towards Luo Jiuchen.

Suddenly, a telegraph operator ran hurriedly to Liu Xin.

"Commander, we have received the telegram from Brigade Commander Luo." The telegraph operator handed the telegram to Liu Xin while speaking.

"Damn it, my trip was in vain!" Liu Xin took the telegram and couldn't help swearing.

"Commander, what happened? Could it be that Brigade Commander Luo allowed the Japanese to break out?!" the chief of staff asked hurriedly.

"Let's go running! The Japs have been wiped out by them! Take a look for yourself." Liu Xin handed the telegram to the chief of staff in a bad mood.

"Captain Kong supported them, so the other group of Japanese devils must have escaped!!" The chief of staff frowned after reading it.

"I'm not sure, maybe. Anyway, we made this trip in vain! We don't even get any credit for this." Liu Xin was very angry.

They agreed to cooperate, and their brigade would get the biggest share. However, before they even arrived, they were intercepted by Kong Sheng and his men, and they didn't gain any advantage at all.

The key point is that in order to cross the bridge, he used a lot of artillery shells when fighting the Japanese. This is the most uncomfortable thing. He used a lot of artillery shells but ended up with nothing to show for it. Isn't that a waste?

"However, on second thought, Captain Kong's timely support has reduced a lot of casualties, so it's not bad, right?" Liu Xin continued.
