Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 870

After cleaning up the battlefield, Kong Sheng and his team quickly left with the supplies and reached a safe place.

"Send a telegram to the division commander immediately and tell him that everything went well and that we have successfully annihilated the enemy's logistics force of about 700 people." Kong Sheng called the telegraph operator. If Changde wasn't too far away, he would have wanted to go and tell the division commander in person.

Upon hearing this, the telegraph operator immediately started sending the telegram.

"Old Kong, don't be so excited. I've said it before, it's just an ambush for the logistics troops. There won't be any big problem." Liu Changshun smiled when he saw this.

With just this small number of Japanese devils, let alone Kong Sheng, even without Kong Sheng and his men, the people from the special operations battalion could easily wipe out these Japanese devils.

"Haha, Captain Liu, it's my problem." Kong Sheng laughed awkwardly when he heard that. Even if Mu Jin was not here, as long as his soldiers were there, it would be easy to defeat the Japanese.

He was just worrying too much.

"It's a small matter. Now that we have destroyed the Japanese's logistics troops, we just need to wait here quietly. We will talk to you if the battalion commander sends a telegram." Liu Changshun said.

The battalion commander did not arrange the next course of action for them, so they did not have to do anything extra.

If you encounter the Japanese logistics troops, just fight them.

On the other side, after receiving the telegram, Han Mingyuan also asked someone to praise Kong Sheng and told Liang Gu the good news.

Upon learning about the battle situation, Liang Gu just smiled, as if everything was within his expectations. At this time, Liang Gu also received a call, asking him to prepare to set off and cut off the enemy's retreat.

.........

The next afternoon, Captain Yoshida had not seen the arrival of the logistics troops, which made him feel uneasy. He was worried that something had happened to the logistics troops, but then he thought that the logistics troops had already come once and nothing had happened.

Therefore, it is highly likely that something unexpected happened, resulting in the late delivery of supplies.

However, to be on the safe side, he still asked someone to send a telegram to the brigade commander.

However, the reply he got was to let him wait quietly, as the supplies would arrive tomorrow at the latest.

Only then did Captain Yoshida feel at ease and let his troops continue the attack the next day.

.........

At the same time, after two days of tracking, Li Jin finally found the Japanese logistics department here.

"Captain, I've had people check and found that there are about a battalion of Japanese soldiers guarding here.

Moreover, their material trucks were transporting materials to several directions. I suspect that this logistics department was responsible for the transportation of materials for at least two or three regiments. "On the hillside in the distance, Lu Changgong was reporting to Li Jin.

"That's right. This logistics department is very important to the Japanese. If it can be burned down, the Japanese attack will be delayed for a long time." Li Jin smiled.

The problem now is that the defense here is very tight, and there is no suitable opportunity to attack the Japanese logistics department.

"Send a telegram to Liu Changshun, informing them to bring people over. Let's take down this warehouse and burn it down!" Li Jin did not hesitate and immediately decided to let Kong Sheng and others come over.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong nodded, and immediately asked someone to send a telegram to inform Liu Changshun of his approximate location and asked him to call Kong Sheng to come together.

"You take your men to investigate the area within a radius of 20 miles around this warehouse to see if there are any other Japanese soldiers." Li Jin continued to give orders.

Since we are going to move this warehouse, we have to make sure that no Japanese can come to support us from other directions.

If there is one, send someone to block it. If not, concentrate your forces and capture this logistics department as quickly as possible.

"Understood. I'll go right away." Lu Changgong nodded, turned around and left, leading his troops to conduct reconnaissance in several groups.

Li Jin continued to wait here.

.........

After receiving the telegram, Liu Changshun immediately found Kong Sheng.

"Lao Kong, gather the troops immediately and let's go to support the battalion commander." Liu Changshun said.

"What?! Captain Mu got into trouble?!" Kong Sheng was shocked. It had only been a short time since he left. Could it be that Mu Jin had gotten into trouble and was surrounded by the Japanese? !
Didn't they say that the devils would not send heavy troops to encircle and suppress them? What's going on now? !
"What are you thinking about? The battalion commander found the Japanese's logistics department and wants to take it down, but there are too many people in that logistics department, so he asked us to go and support them!" Liu Changshun said unhappily.

Why does Kong Sheng always hope that something bad will happen to the battalion commander? If the battalion commander hadn't stopped him from fighting Kong Sheng, he would have wanted to beat Kong Sheng up.

"So that's how it is. I thought something had happened. But if we leave, what will happen to these supplies?!" Kong Sheng said.

They looted a lot of supplies this time, including food and ammunition in piles.

"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about your supplies. Just leave one company here to guard the supplies, and the others can go and provide support." Liu Changshun was a little helpless.

"Okay then." Kong Sheng quickly called over a company commander.

"You kid, take your men and keep an eye on these supplies. If anything is missing, I will kill you. Do you understand?" Kong Sheng threatened.

"Understood!" the company commander responded loudly.

"Assemble!" Kong Sheng gave the order. All the soldiers of the 335th Regiment, except for the company of soldiers who had to stay behind to guard the supplies, gathered together and then set out to support Li Jin.

.........

The Japanese logistics department and there is also a command center here.

The Japanese brigade commander Ohshima Ichiro was sitting in front of the sand table, checking it.

Their attack was indeed not easy to conduct, just as expected.

The enemy was resisting them across the river, and it was indeed difficult for them to cross it.

"Brigade Commander, I always feel that there is something wrong with the logistics troops. No matter what, it is impossible to delay it for two days. What do you think?!" A Japanese lieutenant colonel couldn't help but speak.

Two days have passed since Captain Yoshida sent the telegram to inquire. According to expectations, they should have arrived this morning, but there is no news at all.

"What do you want to say? Could it be that the logistics troops were ambushed by the enemy?!" said Oshima Ichiro.

"I think we can't send this out. A few days ago, a regiment under Kotori Jimataro was annihilated by the enemy because its logistics were attacked by the enemy." The Japanese lieutenant colonel continued.

He was not speaking nonsense because there had been accidents like this in a certain squadron.

"You mean, the enemy over there has already come to us?! And ambushed our logistics troops?!" Oshima Ichiro frowned, he also felt that something was wrong. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was overthinking.

"Yes." The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded. That's what he felt.

"Impossible. Although the enemy over there annihilated one of our regiments, they also suffered heavy casualties. Don't underestimate our empire's soldiers.
With so many casualties among them, it would be fine if they didn't defend themselves, but how could they dare to take the initiative to attack!" Oshima Ichiro also began to analyze.

A regiment of soldiers from their Empire can fight against a division of the National Army. Even if they are really annihilated due to lack of logistics, the enemy will inevitably suffer many casualties, or even be defeated.

Therefore, under this circumstance, the enemy did not have the courage to ambush their logistics troops.

"That seems to be true." The Japanese lieutenant colonel suddenly fell silent. Perhaps he was just overthinking it.

"How about this, if there is still no news from Captain Yoshida tonight, we will send people along the transportation route tomorrow to see what happened." Oshima Ichiro thought for a while and said.

To be on the safe side, we should have someone investigate.

It will be very troublesome if the supplies of the logistics troops cannot be delivered to the front-line troops in time, which will affect the progress of the battle.

"Hey! The brigade commander is wise." The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded and flattered him at the same time.

"You go down first, I'll take a look at what's going on." Oshima Ichiro waved his hand and asked the Japanese lieutenant colonel to leave the command center.

.........

At this time, Captain Yoshida was also a little panicked.

Their supplies haven't been delivered yet, has something really happened? !
"Captain, do you want to ask the brigade commander again?!" asked a Japanese major.

If they continue fighting like this, they will run out of ammunition.

"I have already sent a telegram. If I send it again, I will probably be scolded. Let's wait for tonight. If the logistics troops still don't arrive tonight, I will send another telegram to the brigade commander." said Captain Yoshida.

Although he was very anxious, he also knew that it was useless to be anxious. Until the logistics troops arrived, he could only wait.

"I understand." The Japanese major nodded.

"With our current ammunition, how many days can we last?!" asked Captain Yoshida.

The important thing now is to save some ammunition so as not to run out of it.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, if we continue to fire at the same rate as today, our current ammunition can probably last about five days. The artillery shells are only enough for three days." The Japanese major informed the situation.

"Baga, starting tomorrow we have to reduce the number of bombardments. We have to hold out for five days." Captain Yoshida cursed and immediately gave the order.

"Hi!" The Japanese major nodded quickly.

It was soon night, and Captain Yoshida still hadn't seen any sign of the logistics troops.

"Captain, the logistics troops still haven't arrived. Could it be that the brigade commander didn't send us any supplies at all? Or, the supplies were actually sent late, but they told us that they had been sent.
Therefore, there was no problem with the logistics troops, but they set out a day or two late and failed to arrive in time." The Japanese lieutenant colonel couldn't help but speculate.

Because this kind of thing has happened before, so he is now suspecting that it might be the same this time.

They were trying to fob off by saying that the logistics forces were having trouble.

"Maybe, let's send a telegram to the brigade commander to urge him." Captain Yoshida sighed. He felt a little tired from fighting this battle.

This group of enemies is really tenacious. They are not afraid of them at all and are fighting against them desperately. It is simply unbelievable!
"Hi!" The Japanese major immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram.

.........

In the Japanese logistics department and headquarters.

Oshima Ichiro began to feel uneasy.

"Brigade Commander, Regiment Commander Yoshida sent a telegram." The Japanese lieutenant colonel walked in.

"Is this the news of the arrival of the logistics troops?!" Oshima Ichiro stood up quickly and asked.

"No, Captain Yoshida said that the logistics troops have not arrived yet, and their ammunition is only enough to last for five days." The Japanese lieutenant colonel reported with his head down.

"Baga! How could this happen? Send someone out to gather information tomorrow. I don't believe that the enemy will really come here to attack our logistics troops." Oshima Ichiro cursed and gritted his teeth.

"Brigade Commander, should we continue to send supplies?!" asked the Japanese lieutenant colonel.

It now seems that the logistics troops have basically run into trouble, so let's see if we can remedy it.

At least ensure that the two regiments on the front line have sufficient ammunition to fight, otherwise the attack will have to be temporarily stopped.

"Well, this is indeed a big problem. While we have people conducting the investigation tomorrow, we will also send a small force to transport supplies." Oshima Ichiro nodded.

But then he thought, the logistics troops he sent out basically had problems, which proved that there were potential enemies. If he sent the logistics troops to deliver supplies now, wouldn't that mean he was sending them into the enemy's mouth?
"Well, let's not send it for now. I think the enemy will most likely continue to wait for us to deliver the supplies." Oshima Ichiro said.

"Brigade Commander, if this is the case, what should we do?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel also frowned. If the enemy kept trying to ambush their logistics troops, they would not be able to deliver supplies to the front line.

“I have an idea, which is to let one troop act as bait, escorting empty supplies to the enemy ambush, and then send another troop to follow behind.

Once the troops in front are ambushed by the enemy, the troops behind can take the opportunity to attack the enemy and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop. "Oshima Ichiro couldn't help laughing when he said this.

This opportunity of his was really great. He first tricked the enemy into thinking that supplies were being delivered to their doorstep, and then caught the enemy off guard!
In this way, the enemy can be eliminated, and they can send people to deliver supplies to the front line with peace of mind.

"What if the enemy didn't set an ambush? What if they snatched the supplies and retreated without staying here?!" said the Japanese lieutenant colonel. If the enemy was not there, all their efforts would be in vain.

"What you said is possible. The enemy took away the supplies of two regiments. They were able to carry away so much supplies.

At least 2,000 men, with more powerful firepower, would be needed to annihilate our logistics forces in an ambush.

But it is a good thing for us if the enemy leaves. If they don’t leave, we can just destroy them.” said Oshima Ichiro.

Anyway, his purpose is to eliminate potential dangers, and no danger is the best.

If there is danger, then resolve it. In short, no matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial to them.

"Okay, you don't need to say anything more. Just do as I say tomorrow. Remember, don't make any mistakes. If the enemy finds out and doesn't fool you, ruining my plan, don't blame me for being rude!" Oshima Ichiro said and then directly threatened.

"Hi!"
