Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

The commander sent the battle report in advance, who dares to take the credit? !
"It's hard to say. What if the people who come say that they were the ones who killed the Japanese, but we were chasing the Japanese at the time and failed to report it immediately? We won't be able to explain ourselves." said the regiment commander.

If this is the case, the person who tries to steal the credit will become their military leader.

"Damn it, is there really someone so shameless?!" The combat staff was stunned when he heard this.

It's so shameless that he can bite back.

"People's hearts are hidden, and annihilating the Oshima Brigade would be a great achievement, and who wouldn't want it? In short, it is still necessary to be prepared." said the captain.

He knew these people's faces too well, so he felt that it was appropriate for the military commander to take some precautions.

.........

When General Xu heard the news that the Oshima Brigade had been destroyed, he was already a little restless and suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

"Give me the telegram." Commander Xu snatched the telegram from the telegraph operator. The division commander next to him couldn't sit still and came closer to check.

After reading the telegram, both of them couldn't help but frown.

"General, this is impossible, isn't it?! The Oshima Brigade we are chasing has nearly 5,000 people.

The troops led by Liang Gu, in addition to intercepting other devils, he only had two brigades at most, with a force of more than 10,000 people.

Can they destroy the Oshima Brigade?!" The division commander chose not to believe it at the first moment.

Although Liang Gu's troops were twice as many as the Japanese, most of his soldiers were new recruits, so it was impossible to wipe out the Japanese.

Even if they arrived, they couldn't say they could capture the entire Oshima Brigade.

Now, Liang Gu led more than 10,000 people and wiped out the Oshima Brigade. It was really incredible.

"Hiss... Although it's a bit strange, the commander sent a telegram asking us to confirm whether this news is true.

So, I think it may not be false. Liang Gu is not the kind of person who would lie about his military achievements. "General Xu couldn't help but take a breath and continued.

Falsely reporting military achievements is a serious crime. Although he doesn't know Liang Gu very well, it is unlikely that the other party lied.

"Not necessarily. Maybe the other side lied about their military achievements just to get us there faster so that we can join forces to annihilate the Oshima Brigade." The division commander thought for a moment and expressed his guess.

Liang Gu knew that they would not try their best to chase the Japanese, so he came up with this idea.

"No, no, no, you're overthinking it. If that's the case, we can just send a small force to investigate quietly.

At that time, if we find that the devils have not been eliminated, we can choose not to go. Liang Gu is not a fool.

It is impossible to use this plan, so it is not impossible for Liang Gu to annihilate the Oshima Brigade. "After a series of analysis, General Xu made a judgment.

"This..." The division commander fell silent for a moment. According to the military commander, it was indeed unlikely.

"Also, don't forget, Liang Gu and his men once wiped out a Japanese brigade in Fengling. The number of Japanese brigades at that time was about the same as it is now." General Xu mentioned the incident when Liang Gu annihilated a Japanese brigade in Fengling.

"Yes, when we heard the news, we all couldn't believe it. It was later confirmed that the battle report was true. Liang Gu was therefore valued by the commander-in-chief and was directly promoted to army commander." The division commander also said.

A great battle directly promoted Liang Gu to the position of army commander. However, the other party was only in his thirties. Many people at this age might not even be able to become brigade commanders.

"So, this telegram is very likely to be true." General Xu said with a serious face.

"Then, should we set off quickly and get there tomorrow morning?!" the commander suggested upon hearing this.

"Let's take precautions. The main army will move slowly. I will lead a regiment to rush over quickly. It would be bad if Liang Gu really uses fake military achievements to deceive us." General Xu thought for a while and said.

If he took all his troops there directly, what would happen if he got tricked? Therefore, he had better be cautious.

"Commander, why don't I lead the team over there?" the division commander suggested.

"No, I'll go. Let the deputy commander stay to lead the troops. I'll set off now and try to reach the battlefield tomorrow morning." General Xu made the decision. He walked out of the tent directly and planned to hand over the army to the deputy commander.

Soon, he left the main force with a regiment of troops and hurried on his way.

.........

At about 10:30 the next morning, General Xu and his men arrived at a location about three or four miles away from the destination.

Commander Xu climbed up a nearby mountain and, holding a telescope, observed the situation in the distance.

When he saw a pile of corpses lying on the battlefield over there, he was stunned, and then he saw Liang Gu's troops nearby.

"Damn it, this Oshima Brigade was really destroyed by Liang Gu!" General Xu murmured, he turned around and went down the mountain, leading his men to rush over there.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the battlefield.

The soldiers guarding here had already discovered General Xu and his men.

Team leader Qian Fang was also waiting here.

"Qian Fang greets Commander Xu!" Qian Fang immediately saluted Commander Xu.

"I remember you, you are from the 128th Brigade, right? Where is your commander?!" Commander Xu said with a smile.

"The commander took his men to support other troops yesterday afternoon." Qian Fang responded. He was still happy that Commander Xu remembered him.

"How did you destroy the Oshima Brigade? Can you tell me about it?" General Xu looked at the battlefield while speaking. The place with the most corpses was in front of the distant position.

"Okay." Qian Fang nodded, and then told him the process of the battle. This was also the instruction from the military commander.

"The Northeast Army... Is this Northeast Army really so powerful?! They were able to kill so many Japanese invaders just by cooperating with each other?!" General Xu couldn't help but ask after hearing this.

"They are quite powerful. The military commander mentioned them when we were in Fengling. However, the higher-ups chose to ignore them." Qian Fang replied.

There is no way. Some people don't like this unit, so naturally they won't give credit to this unit.

"Tsk, what you said makes me want to meet this Northeast Army." General Xu smacked his lips, it seemed that he still underestimated this army.

"Commander Xu, why did you only bring so few people here?!" Qian Fang changed the subject. Commander Xu now has at least 20,000 people under his command, but he only brought so few people.

"I received a telegram from the commander saying that the Oshima Brigade was destroyed by your commander, so I sent the remaining troops to other directions to help.

I came to see if there is anything you can do for me." Commander Xu said this without blushing or getting nervous.

"So that's how it is." Qian Fang nodded, but didn't doubt it too much.

General Xu looked at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers not far away, and he really had the urge to take the credit for himself.

However, this old guy Liang Gu also sent a lot of people to guard here, which was something he had not expected, what a pity.

If Liang Gu hadn't asked anyone to stay, he could have grabbed some of the credit, but now he has no chance.

"No need. The commander has already taken away all the weapons and other things." Qian Fang said. Only then did he realize that the weapons were all with the commander, and others would not be able to take the credit even if they wanted to.

But on second thought, others could also say that they would go chase the Japanese first, leaving the weapons to the general and others, and they could still take the credit later.

As expected, the military commander was thoughtful. While confiscating their weapons, he also allowed them to stay, completely eliminating the idea of ​​others wanting to share the credit.

"All right." Commander Xu turned around and led his men away. Qian Fang and the officers under him watched Commander Xu leave until he was far away.

"You see, this guy most likely wants to come here to steal the credit." Qian Fang said. He still believed that General Xu wanted to come here to steal the credit, but he just didn't find the opportunity.

"Yeah." The operations staff nodded.

"Let someone bury the Japanese corpses, otherwise, it will easily breed plague." Qian Fang gave the order. He could already smell the stench from the Japanese corpses and had to deal with it quickly.

Fortunately, they had already dug a big pit last night, and now all they had to do was throw the Japanese bodies into the pit and bury it.

Soon, the soldiers endured the stench and carried the bodies of the Japanese devils to the big pit and threw them down.

Thousands of Japanese corpses almost filled the pit, and the soldiers filled it up with shovels.

.........

At this time, General Xu also asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Commander Xue to inform him of the truth of the matter. Liang Gu and his men had indeed annihilated the Oshima Brigade.

.........

Changsha, at the General Headquarters.

Commander Xue received the telegram. He looked at everyone and a smile appeared on his face.

"Come, everyone take a look. Commander Xu has confirmed that the Oshima Brigade has been annihilated." Commander Xue asked someone to pass the telegram down.

Everyone took turns to check it, and only when the telegram was passed back to Commander Xue did he speak.

"I've already told you that Commander Liang's telegram is true, you just don't believe it." Commander Xue said with a smile.

"Commander Liang is indeed amazing."

"I never thought that he didn't wipe out a single brigade of the devils. I admire you so much!"

"It is our honor to have Commander Liang."

Everyone started praising him, but no one knew what they were thinking.

In just over a year, Liang Gu actually killed so many Japanese devils one after another. This achievement really overshadowed them all.

.........

On the other side, Liang Gu and his men were still waiting there, during which time many troops had come to meet up with Liang Gu.

They were all stunned when they learned that another Japanese regiment of the Oshima Brigade had been annihilated.

But when I think about the fact that the military commander cooperated with Mu Jin and others to eliminate them, it doesn’t seem strange.

"General, we received a telegram from Qian Fang saying that General Xu sent someone to check on him..." Han Mingyuan entered the temporary command center with a telegram.

"Yeah." Liang Gu just took a look and put the telegram down.

"General Xu only brought one regiment of troops. Does he believe that we can really destroy the Oshima Brigade?!" Han Mingyuan was obviously a little unconvinced.

"How is that possible? The reason why he only brought such a small number of people is because he was worried that I would lie about my military achievements and trick him into bringing the army here quickly. That's why he brought such a small number of people just to be on the safe side." Liang Gu responded.

He was not sure what General Xu was thinking. Once they found out that the Oshima Brigade had not been destroyed, they could send a telegram to the main force and there would be no need to rush over so quickly.

As for what General Xu said, that he believed they had annihilated the Oshima Brigade and therefore sent the troops to other places for support, he didn't believe a word of it.

"I see. If they were willing to send support quickly, perhaps we could still catch up with the battle. Unfortunately, they are all thinking about preserving their strength." Han Mingyuan nodded and said.

Given the situation at the time, if General Xu had ordered his troops to pursue with all their might, they might have been able to catch up!
"Well, so, if they had come over, I would have given him a share, but unfortunately..." Liang Gu nodded, then shook his head.

He is not a stingy person. If General Xu comes with all his strength, he would not mind sharing some of the credit with him even if the other party is unable to participate in the battle.

After all, the fact that they were able to rush here with all their strength showed that they really wanted to expand the results of the battle and were not the kind of people who cared about their own strength. Liang Gu still admired such people.

However, few of these people did so, so he could only take all the credit.

"Commander, we have performed a great deed this time and we will probably be targeted by many people. We have to be on guard in the future to avoid being stabbed in the back!" Han Mingyuan reminded.

For some people, having too dazzling a record is not a good thing.

Therefore, those people might do something dirty to them behind their backs.

"Yes, I understand that." Liang Gu nodded.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

"Our annihilation of the Oshima Brigade is related to Mu Jin. Maybe Mu Jin has become famous in the general command now." Han Mingyuan thought of this.

"Yeah, it's hard not to draw people's attention to this army. It can't be concealed at all." Liang Gu was also a little helpless.

Only Mu Jin and his men have such strong fighting power. If they take all the credit on themselves, no one will believe it.

Even if you believe it, you will probably have to fight all kinds of tough battles in the future. It is not a good thing after all and it is very troublesome!

"In this way, some people may want to cooperate with Mu Jin. After all, with Mu Jin here, the credit is like picking up something by chance," said Han Mingyuan.

"Don't worry, Mu Jin is a cautious person and will not cooperate with others casually." Liang Gu said.

.........

At this time, Li Jin and his men were also tracking the Japanese troops.

"Battalion Commander, this Japanese brigade in front of us doesn't seem to have any sign of the Japanese division commander." Halfway up the mountain, Lu Changgong was lying in a pile of grass and said to Li Jin.

"Well, there really isn't any. Let's go and change our target." Li Jin nodded. Since there was no trace of the Japanese division commander, there was no need to continue following him.

His goal was to see if he could annihilate the Japanese division commander. As long as he could annihilate the Japanese division commander, it would be a real great achievement.

"Yes." Lu Changgong nodded.

The two of them left here quietly.

"Battalion Commander, I feel that we may become famous in the national army this time." Lu Changgong said.

This matter cannot be concealed. With a unit of such powerful combat effectiveness, it is impossible for the senior officials of the National Army to be unaware of it.

"Well, it's not a big problem. Just become famous. That person won't give the credit to the Northeast Army anyway." Li Jin nodded and said.

For that person, he was always wary of the Northeast Army, otherwise he would not have always targeted the Northeast Army.

"That's right." Lu Changgong nodded.
