Chapter 894

A week later, Li Jin received a plaintext telegram on his way back to Changde.

This is the telegram from the commander-in-chief praising this battle.

Among them, in addition to Commander Xue who commanded well, Liang Gu's 88th Army was also praised. This obviously means that Liang Gu's troops made the greatest contribution in this battle.

Even Kong Sheng's 335th Regiment was praised, saying that they had penetrated deep into the enemy's rear, cooperated with other troops to annihilate an entire Japanese regiment, and even killed the Japanese brigade commander.

"Captain Mu, you also received this clear text telegram, right?!" Kong Sheng found Li Jin with a smile on his face.

"Lao Kong, you are now famous. It was even reported in the newspaper." Li Jin also joked.

"Hey, how could I have that ability? It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, with my limited military strength, it would be difficult to kill the Japanese brigade commander, let alone destroy the Japanese regiment." Kong Sheng replied.

He naturally knew that all these achievements were due to Mu Jin, so he was able to get these honors.

"Don't say that. Your contribution is indeed great. I'm just cooperating with you." Li Jin said.

If it weren't for Kong Sheng, it would have been quite difficult for Li Jin to kill so many Japanese devils, and it would have probably cost a lot of lives, so Kong Sheng deserved the credit.

"Captain Mu, please refuse. You are the biggest contributor to this battle. To be honest, if you become my enemy one day,
Don't hit me, tell me in advance, I will vote directly, and save the effort. "Kong Sheng said seriously.

He always felt that once the Japanese were driven away, Mu Jin might really become their enemy.

So, he said in advance that Mu Jin had a good impression of the people there and might join them.

"It's too early to talk about this now, but when the time comes, I'll be worried that when I go looking for you, you'll catch me in return." Li Jin joked.

In fact, he felt that Liang Gu and Kong Sheng were good people. Since the other party had said so in advance, he didn't mind giving them a hand.

"Captain Mu, you're joking. If I dare to touch you, your people will probably put a gun to my neck the moment I catch someone." Kong Sheng felt helpless.

If he wants to catch Mu Jin, he must have the courage to do so.

After spending some time with him, he figured out that Mu Jin always kept something in reserve in everything he did.

Therefore, if Mu Jin dared to come to see him by himself at that time, there would probably be many people who had sneaked in, and they would not dare to attack Mu Jin even if they were beaten to death. He did not think his life was too long.

"Haha, this is true." Li Jin laughed twice.

"Captain Mu, in short, we can talk it out when the time comes, and don't take any action." Kong Sheng was really afraid of Mu Jin's troops.

It's too brutal. Beating the Japanese is like killing chickens. If we do this to them, who can withstand it?

"Don't worry. Given our friendship, I will definitely remind you. However, if you still resist after I remind you, I will not be polite." Li Jin's expression turned serious as he finished speaking.

"Definitely not. I am a man who knows the times." Kong Sheng also answered seriously.

“Haha…” The two looked at each other and laughed.

.........

More than a week later, Li Jin and his team were finally approaching Changde. They were less than twenty miles away from Changde.

Kong Sheng also immediately sent a telegram to Liang Gu, informing him that they were about to arrive.

.........

Changde, in Liang Gu’s office.

After receiving the telegram, Han Mingyuan pushed open the door and walked in.

"General, I received a telegram from Kong Sheng. He said he is almost there and is only twenty miles away from here." Han Mingyuan reported the contents of the telegram.

"They came back quite quickly. Have you prepared the weapons and other things?!" Liang Gu asked.

Mu Jin asked them to help keep some of the weapons. Now that Mu Jin is back, they can return them to him.

"Don't worry, Commander. Everything is ready. You see, should I have someone take the weapons out of the city and wait for Mu Jin or wait for them inside the city?!" Han Mingyuan asked.

"Take it out of the city and give it to him. It happens that I also want to meet Mu Jin." Liang Gu said after thinking for a while.

If Mu Jin and the others were to come to Changde, they would probably be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, so it would be better for them to leave the city.

"I understand. I'll send a telegram to Kong Sheng and the others right away." Han Mingyuan was about to leave.

"Don't forget to bring the money, that's what we agreed on." Liang Gu stopped Han Mingyuan and reminded him.

Whether it is the money for cooperation or the money for buying Mu Jin's weapons, he has almost prepared them.

The only thing missing is the money to buy weapons, which has to be sent to Mu Jin later!
"Yes!" Han Mingyuan then left.

After Han Mingyuan left, Liang Gu took out a small box from the drawer. Inside was a medal that the commander had given him a week ago.

"This medal is not suitable for me, let's give it to Mu Jin." Liang Gu murmured. He knew very well that it was all because of Mu Jin that he could have such a great achievement.

He received this highest medal thanks to Mu Jin's contribution, and he felt bad about accepting it.

So I decided that it would be better to give it to Mu Jin. As for what Mu Jin would do with it later, whether to keep it or throw it away, that was Mu Jin's business.

Liang Gu closed the box and picked up the newspaper on the table to read. On the front page was a photo of the commander-in-chief awarding him a medal. This was a great honor.

Half an hour later, Han Mingyuan entered the office again.

"General, the weapons have been loaded onto the truck, should we set off now?!" Han Mingyuan said.

"Well, let's go." Liang Gu stood up.

The two men left the office, went downstairs, got on a military vehicle and left the barracks. Behind them, there were several military trucks carrying supplies.

.........

"Captain Mu, our division commander said that he is waiting for us in the woods about five miles south of the city. He will give you the weapons and money when the time comes." On the other side, Kong Sheng found Li Jin and said.

"What?! We are leaving our things outside the city?! We won't even be allowed into the city?!" Before Li Jin could speak, Liu Changshun couldn't sit still anymore.

I thought Liang Gu was going to get rid of them and didn't even bother to invite them into the city.

"Captain Liu, the commander definitely doesn't mean this, please don't misunderstand." Kong Sheng became anxious when he heard this and hurried to explain.

He was afraid that Mu Jin thought the same way, and it would be bad if the other party got angry.

"Xiao Liu, don't say so much. Commander Liang is worried that if so many of us enter the city, we will be targeted." Li Jin also understood Liang Gu's intention.

Now that Liang Gu has made such a great contribution, there must be a lot of people keeping an eye on him, so Liang Gu is so cautious. Li Jin can understand this.

"That's right, the commander must think so." Kong Sheng hurriedly agreed after hearing this, and he was relieved. "Okay, let's not talk too much, let's quickly meet up with Commander Liang and the others." Li Jin said.

The troops set out quickly and continued their advance.

An hour later, Li Jin and his friends arrived at the woods that Liang Gu mentioned.

Liang Gu was with Han Mingyuan at the moment, and behind them were long boxes filled with weapons and ammunition.

As soon as they arrived nearby, they asked someone to move the things in the car into the woods, and the others were guarding the woods at this time.

"Commander Liang, Old Han, long time no see!" Li Jin stepped forward to greet them.

"Captain Mu." Liang Gu and Han Mingyuan also had smiles on their faces.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault that I couldn't invite you into the city and treat you properly." Liang Gu apologized, looking apologetic.

He took away such a great credit from Mu Jin, but because of some things, he was unable to treat Mu Jin well. It was indeed a bit unfair of him.

"It's okay, they are just small problems. As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed." Li Jin said with a smile.

Liang Gu's apology also made it clear that he did not mean to do it on purpose, nor did he want to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose.

"Haha, I knew you would say that. Fortunately, I have already made preparations. This is a lot of money. In addition to the 150,000 yuan for cooperation, there are 200,000 yuan for buying weapons.

As for the remaining tens of thousands of dollars, give me some more time. You know, this is not a small amount. It is not easy for me to get so much in a short time. "Liang Gu laughed twice and then said.

The weapons that Mu Jin sold him were actually much more than this number, but Mu Jin just gave him a discount.

"Okay, okay." Li Jin also had a smile on his face.

"Captain Mu, do you want to count the number?!" Liang Gu said.

"Forget it, I trust you." Li Jin shook his head. The main reason was that it was difficult to calculate so many dollars, so he decided not to count it. If Liang Gu really gave less, he would remind the other party to make up for it.

"Well, the weapons are here. I have had them packed into boxes for easy transport." Liang Gu nodded and pointed to the wooden boxes at the back.

"Thank you for your help." Li Jin thanked him. If Liang Gu didn't let people pack the weapons, it would be difficult for them to carry them away.

"You're welcome. If anyone is to thank someone, it should be you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have received such a great credit." Liang Gu said seriously.

The supplies he obtained later were far more than those given to Mu Jin, so if anyone really had to thank someone, he should thank Mu Jin.

"This was all agreed upon before we started working together. You get the credit and I get the money." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Let's put things one way and thank them anyway," Liang Gu responded.

Li Jin heard this and didn't say much.

"By the way, this thing is for you." Liang Gu took out a small box from his arms and handed it to Li Jin.

"What is this?!" Li Jin took it with a puzzled look on his face, then opened it and saw a medal.

"Commander Liang, this thing is too precious, I can't take it!" Li Jin hurriedly refused and wanted to return it to Liang Gu. This medal belonged to Liang Gu, how could he take it.

"Captain Mu, listen to me, this medal should be given to you. Although we are in a cooperative relationship, I know better than anyone that you have made the greatest contribution, so this medal should be given to you!" Liang Gu explained.

"Commander Liang, you..." Li Jin was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Captain Mu, just accept it. As for whether you keep it or throw it away, that's up to you. I don't care about that." Liang Gu looked as if he was forcing Li Jin to accept it.

"Tsk, okay, then I'll take it." Li Jin was also a little helpless and had to put the box in his pocket.

"Captain Mu, let's say goodbye here. If you return to your place, remember to send me a telegram to let me know you are safe." Liang Gu prepared to leave.

"No problem." Li Jin nodded.

Liang Gu then turned and left.

"Captain Mu, I have no choice but to go back first. Please be careful on your journey." Kong Sheng also said goodbye to Li Jin.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

Only then did Kong Sheng lead his men to catch up with Liang Gu and the others.

"What are you still standing there for? Move things." Li Jin gave the order, asking the soldiers to start moving the boxes. They had to go back as soon as possible.

Moreover, depending on the situation, he would probably have to go back to the brigade headquarters to report his battle in Changsha to the brigade commander.

.........

After Liang Gu and his companions returned to Changde and entered the military camp's office, Kong Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Commander, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"Just say it if you have something to say." Liang Gu said directly.

"That's right. I feel that Mu Jin might run over there in the future. If the Japanese are driven away, we might become enemies with Mu Jin in the future." Kong Sheng told the story.

"How do you know he might go there?!" Liang Gu frowned. If that was true, he didn't want to be an enemy of Mu Jin. It was too dangerous.

He dared to use tens of thousands of people to stop tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, but he didn't dare to use tens of thousands of people to stop Mu Jin's 1,000 people! Because he couldn't stop them at all, and he might be killed by Mu Jin in return.

"I told him before that if we become enemies in the future, I would ask him not to attack us first, and he agreed.
In addition, Mu Jin had cooperated with that place several times before, so I think that after the Japanese are driven out, Mu Jin will most likely go there. "Kong Sheng expressed his guess!
"What you said is indeed possible. When we were working with Mu Jin in Shanxi, he also advised us to follow the right person.

Maybe he has already contacted them, but just hasn't joined yet." Han Mingyuan also spoke up.

In fact, everything has a traceable path. Mu Jin has always had a good impression of that side. Although he is greedy for money, he is determined to fight the Japanese.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter, and don't mention it to anyone else. Only the three of us know about this! Do you understand?" Liang Gu said with a serious face.

At this time, if other people knew about these things, many people would probably want to kill him, so he must not let other people know!
“Understood!!” The two men broke out in cold sweats and nodded repeatedly after hearing this. They naturally understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Well, don't talk about this again." Liang Gu warned.

"Yes." The two nodded.

"General, what if Mu Jin really becomes our enemy in the future?!" Kong Sheng couldn't help but ask.

He still wanted to hear what the commander thought.

"It's a bit too early to talk about this now. Anyway, only a fool would be an enemy of Mu Jin." Liang Gu responded. Although he did not explicitly say that he would surrender to the enemy, his words also made his attitude clear.

Kong Sheng also smiled when he heard this. As expected, the commander had the same idea as them.
