Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"I understand!" Tang Yiming nodded after hearing this.

"In short, no matter what they say, don't act on your own. Let's leave it at that for now." The commander said and hung up the phone.

Tang Yiming also put down the phone.

"What did the master say?!" Luo Wancheng, who was not far away, asked, wanting to know what the master had said to Tang Yiming.

Why does Tang Yiming look so serious?

"The division commander said that a troop ran to the rear of the Japanese..." Tang Yiming told everyone how Kong Sheng and his men ambushed the Japanese logistics troops, attacked the Japanese logistics department here, and killed the Japanese brigade commander.

"What?! How is this possible?!" Luo Wancheng was stunned.

The ambush of the Japanese's logistics troops was already very powerful, but the enemy actually dared to attack the Japanese's logistics department and killed a Japanese brigade commander? !
This sounds so incredible that it is almost hard to believe.

"I also think it's impossible, but considering the actions of the Japanese, it is likely to be true." Tang Yiming didn't believe it at first.

But when you think about the situation, the Japanese suddenly stopped the attack, and then the Hengtian League quickly moved south to join forces.

Something big indeed happened.

If Kong Sheng had only ambushed the logistics troops, the two Japanese regiments would not have been able to join forces.

But when I think about the fact that the Japanese logistics department was attacked and the Japanese brigade commander was killed, the joining of the two regiments can be explained.

They did this to prevent themselves from being defeated one by one and thus being annihilated.

It can also be seen from here that the combat effectiveness of Kong Sheng and his group is indeed very strong!
"Damn it, I still can't believe it. How did Kong Sheng achieve this with just a regiment of soldiers?!

Could it be that their fighting power is comparable to that of the Japanese? That’s why the Japanese are so afraid of them? "Luo Wancheng frowned.

He still didn't quite believe that any army could achieve this level.

The point is, how much money would it cost to train such a powerful army? Is Liang Gu so rich? !

"Anyway, there is no harm to us. If I'm not mistaken, the Japanese will most likely not attack later. We just need to wait for the time to come and then we can retreat. The rest has nothing to do with us." Tang Yiming said.

Although he didn't believe it, the current situation was still favorable to them.

"That's true. Why bother about so many things!" Upon hearing this, Luo Wancheng no longer bothered about these trivial matters. Anyway, as long as the Japanese didn't attack, their casualties would be reduced, so it wasn't a big problem.

.........

On the other side, Li Jin was also studying the map.

The Japanese invaders gathered together, and they had no trustworthy troops to act with, so it was basically impossible for them to take action against them.

This group of Japanese devils are most likely waiting for supplies to arrive before continuing to advance.

That means the Japanese will send more people to deliver supplies later.

Li Jin was wondering whether he could take action against the Japanese troops who were delivering supplies.

But after thinking about it carefully, he chose to give up the idea.

They have attacked the Japanese twice, causing them heavy losses. It is impossible for the Japanese not to be on guard. In order to avoid accidents, it is better to be cautious.

"Since they won't attack the Japanese logistics forces, I will just use artillery to bombard Yoshida's regiment and vent my anger." Li Jin thought for a moment and decided that he must make this troop feel scared.

Li Jin found Kong Sheng and told him the plan.

"That's fine. We can take this opportunity to cause trouble for the Japanese." Kong Sheng agreed decisively.

The group rushed towards the direction of Yoshida's regiment. They only brought artillery, and the remaining soldiers retreated first.

Two days passed quickly.

Tang Yiming and Luo Wancheng chose to retreat with their troops that night.

The next morning, when Captain Yoshida and Captain Yokoten discovered it, they were also stunned.

"The enemy on the opposite side is retreating now?! Should we move forward?!" the captain of the Hengtian League suggested.

They had been attacking for so many days, but they didn't expect that the enemy would choose to retreat after only two days of attack.

"Is there a trick here? We don't have much supplies left. If we go there now,

If the enemy sends more troops and launches a counterattack, our position here will also be occupied by the enemy, and it will be difficult for us to retreat. " Captain Yoshida thought for a moment and said.

He told everyone about the possible dangers.

Once they go there, there is a high probability that the situation he described will occur.

By then, the supplies of the logistics troops will be blocked and unable to be delivered, and they will most likely be in a desperate situation.

"What you said makes sense. Let's forget it. We don't know if the enemy's troops are targeting us, so it's better not to act rashly." The captain of the Hengtian League also nodded in agreement.

It is still too dangerous to cross the river now.

So, it’s better to be safe.

"But it's not that we can't cross the river." Captain Yoshida changed the subject.

"Didn't you say there was danger? Now you think it's gone?!" Captain Yokoten was also somewhat convinced. It was Yoshida who said there was danger, and now he says we can cross the river. So should we cross the river or not?

"No, what I mean is that we can let the soldiers build a bridge first. Then, when the logistics troops deliver the supplies, we will have plenty of time left to cross the river." Captain Yoshida explained quickly.

What he meant was that they didn't need to cross the river, but they could let the soldiers build a bridge first.

"You should have told me earlier. I was wondering what you were going to do. Let the soldiers build a bridge now." Captain Hengtian immediately gave orders, asking his soldiers to prepare things and start building a simple bridge.

Soon, many Japanese soldiers began to use tools to build a bridge across the river.

…………

On a low hill about three or four miles behind the Japanese, Li Jin and Kong Sheng looked at the Japanese with binoculars.

"I guess Tang Yiming and his men retreated overnight." Kong Sheng couldn't help but say as he looked at the empty position across the river.

"Well, the time for them to stop the Japanese has come, so they retreated." Li Jin nodded.

Tang Yiming and his men were not ordered to defend their positions, so when the time for defending their positions came to an end, they chose to leave. "Hey, what are those little devils doing?! Are they trying to build a bridge across the river?!" Kong Sheng suddenly saw a group of devils by the river through the telescope, and he didn't know what they were doing.

"That should be it. Let them set up. When they have almost finished setting up, we will open fire!" Li Jin smiled.

"Haha, Captain Mu, you are really amazing." Kong Sheng laughed twice when he heard that.

When it comes to being insidious, Mu Jin has to do it. He will wait until the Japanese bridge is almost built and then blow it up. The Japanese will probably be so angry that they will die!
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese bridge had already reached halfway.

Li Jin did not hesitate and decisively ordered the artillery to fire.

Only dozens of shells were fired at the bridge, and the remaining shells were all fired at the Japanese positions.

Boom boom boom......

One shell after another landed on the pontoon bridge and exploded, directly blowing apart the bridge that the Japanese had built with great difficulty. Many Japanese soldiers were killed on the spot.

The blood dyed the river red.

The Japanese in the position were also bombed. Shells fell into the Japanese position one after another, and the Japanese soldiers rushed into the anti-artillery holes in the trenches.

An unlucky Japanese soldier had just entered an anti-artillery cave when a shell fell into the cave entrance, causing a huge explosion.

The Japanese soldiers in the anti-artillery cave were buried alive on the spot, and the last Japanese soldiers who came in were blown into pieces and buried with the dust.

"Baga, where did the shells come from?!" Captain Yoshida, who was hiding in the anti-artillery cave, couldn't help but curse.

"The shells seem to be coming from the rear. Damn, it must be that unit. I didn't expect they have such strong firepower!" said the captain of the Hengtian League.

"This unit has been in the rear, but for some reason, it has not launched an attack on us. I guess they saw no chance.
Fortunately, we have gathered together, otherwise the enemy will definitely attack us." Captain Yoshida was also afraid.

"Well, but I can understand why this unit was able to wipe out the logistics unit. With such fierce firepower,
In the case of an ambush, let alone the logistics troops, even we probably won’t be able to escape.” The leader of the Hengtian League nodded and said.

The logistics troops had no idea that the enemy was ambushing them, so they were careless and were attacked by an enemy with such fierce firepower. They were definitely unable to resist and could not escape at all.

After several rounds of bombing, it finally ended.

Captain Yoshida walked out of the anti-artillery cave.

Seeing that many soldiers were killed or injured in the trenches, his face became gloomy.

If he had not been afraid of the enemy's firepower, he would have really ordered people to chase and destroy this group of enemies.

"Damn it, the floating bridge that we built with so much effort was blown up." Captain Yoshida was so angry when he saw that the half-built bridge was now blown up.

"I didn't expect them to be so insidious. They didn't leave and were waiting for our pontoon bridge to be built before starting the shelling." The captain of the Hengtian League was also very angry.

"They should leave next. The division commander has sent a regiment of soldiers to transport them. If the enemy doesn't leave, just wait for death." Regiment Commander Yoshida had a murderous look on his face.

In order to escort this batch of supplies, the division commander attached great importance to it and directly sent a regiment to prevent this unit from launching a sneak attack.

"The enemy's commander won't be so stupid, but we'd better not build the pontoon bridge for now. It would be terrible if it gets bombed," said the captain of the Hengtian League.

It had been bombed once, and if it happened again, they probably wouldn’t have enough materials.

"Yes." Captain Yoshida nodded.

Ten minutes later, their casualties were counted.

"Captain, our regiment lost 183 soldiers and seriously injured 30 in the recent shelling!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel came to Captain Yoshida to report the casualties.

"What?! How could there be so many casualties?!" Captain Yoshida was so shocked that he was speechless.

He found it hard to believe that so many people were killed and injured in just a few rounds of shelling.

"Captain, the enemy's shells were very accurate, and most of them landed among the people, which is why they caused so many casualties.
In addition, there were not enough anti-artillery holes, and many soldiers failed to hide in the anti-artillery holes in time, so this happened. "The Japanese lieutenant colonel began to explain!
"I see." Captain Yoshida nodded. With the arrival of the Yokoten Corps, the originally sufficient anti-artillery holes were naturally no longer enough.

"Mr. Yoshida, this is my fault. If I had asked the soldiers to dig anti-artillery holes when I came, this would not have happened." Captain Yokoten also admitted his mistake decisively.

There was indeed something wrong with him in this matter. When he joined forces with Yoshida's regiment, he did not have the soldiers dig anti-artillery holes, which led to the soldiers of the two regiments fighting for the anti-artillery holes.

"It's okay. I have problems too. I was too careless. God knew this group of enemies hadn't left yet and still had such fierce firepower." Captain Yoshida shook his head.

Things have already happened. There is not much point in pursuing responsibility now. It is better to think about the situation of the next battle.

"Judging from where the enemy's shells landed, the enemy's artillery is very skilled." Captain Yoshida changed the subject.

"That's true. We suffered such heavy casualties. If the enemy's artillery didn't have some ability, they wouldn't be able to shoot so accurately." The captain of the Hengtian League nodded.

In order to achieve a precise strike, careful calculations and deductions must be made, which shows that the enemy's artillery has undergone rigorous training.

"From this point of view alone, the strength of this unit should not be underestimated. In addition, they have robbed our weapons. Given the same number of people, the enemy's firepower may be stronger than ours.
If we want to encircle and suppress this unit, we need to mobilize at least 20,000 people to wipe them out." Captain Yoshida said seriously.

The enemy's firepower is so strong and they are in the mountains. If we have fewer people, we might be wiped out by the enemy if we are not careful.

Therefore, if you want to destroy this force, you need at least 20,000 soldiers to prevent the enemy from having a chance to escape.

"What you said makes sense, but it's impossible for the division commander to send so many people to encircle and suppress a small force." The captain of the Hengtian League agreed.

Their current mission is to capture Changsha, not to encircle and suppress a small force.

.........

Li Jin couldn't help but smile as he watched the Japanese soldiers being blown to pieces and many of them being killed directly.

There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the miserable plight of the Japanese devils.

"Captain Mu, the Japanese are probably going to be pissed off this time. Haha, not only did we blow up the bridge they built with so much difficulty, but we also killed and injured so many Japanese." Kong Sheng laughed happily.

"Of course. They joined forces together, and there were a lot more Japanese soldiers. The anti-artillery holes probably couldn't accommodate so many Japanese soldiers, so the casualties were quite heavy." Li Jin also laughed.

"They deserve it for being forced to unite their forces. If they hadn't, we might have had a chance to destroy one of the regiments." Kong Sheng felt it was a pity.

"It's not a big problem, let's retreat first." Li Jin said. The probability of the Japanese chasing him is not high, but it is not impossible, so he still has to be careful.

Now we have taken advantage of a lot of advantages and made a lot of money.

Soon, Li Jin and Kong Sheng led the artillerymen and quickly left here.
