Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 898

"Okay, General. I'll send it right away." Han Mingyuan turned around and was about to leave.

A telegraph operator rushed in.

"Commander, this telegram has not been translated yet, there is more to come," the telegraph operator said hurriedly.

Just when he translated that the Japanese brigade commander was killed in the explosion, Han Mingyuan took the telegram away.

"There's more?!" Han Mingyuan looked confused. He thought the translation was complete, but he was overthinking.

"Yes, take a look." The telegraph operator handed the telegram to Han Mingyuan.

After receiving the telegram, Han Mingyuan began to read it.

“Huh?! This is…” Han Mingyuan’s pupils shrank and his eyes were full of shock.

"What's wrong?!" Liang Gu wondered what the content of the telegram was that actually scared Han Mingyuan.

"Haha, this kid Mu Jin really did a big thing. Not only did he kill the Japanese brigade commander, but also seriously injured their division commander Inaya Shiro!" Han Mingyuan laughed twice and told the contents of the telegram.

"What?!" Liang Gu was also a little shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that Mu Jin's attack this time would have such a great harvest.

That was the commander of the Japanese division, and he was seriously injured in the explosion. He will definitely need a long time to recuperate before he can continue to command the troops in battle.

This is a great thing for them.

It can even be said that if Inaya Shiro was injured more seriously, he would be unable to command troops in battle in the future. What is the difference between this and killing a division commander?

"It's true. If you don't believe me, just look." Han Mingyuan quickly handed the telegram to Liang Gu for inspection.

"Good boy, this is really good news!" Liang Gu couldn't help but praise him after reading it. He lost his previous calmness.

"General, I will send a telegram to tell Mu Jin the news." Han Mingyuan turned and left, and the telegraph operator followed him.

The smile on Liang Gu's face never stopped. He confirmed the content several times to make sure he had not seen it wrong.

"I'm happy today, and everything is clear!" Liang Gu happily came to the cabinet, opened it, took out a bottle of white wine, and sat down at the table.

He opened the bottle of white wine, filled the glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Tsk, ah~ good wine!" Liang Gu praised. He hadn't drunk for a long time since he was promoted. Today he could break his habit.

.........

At this time, Li Jin was still waiting for news. The Japanese in Xiangyang had not made any movement for two consecutive days.

"Battalion Commander, maybe the Japanese have no intention of ambush us at all. You are just overthinking it." Liu Changshun said.

According to the battalion commander, if the Japanese want to ambush, they will inevitably mobilize the Japanese in Xiangyang to take action.

Now the Japanese in Xiangyang are not making any movement, so they probably have no plans to ambush them.

"It's too early to talk about this now. Let's wait for two days." Li Jin shook his head.

Their previous actions of attacking the Japanese checkpoint and cutting the telephone lines were already telling the Japanese that they were just attacking casually and their main focus was still on getting on with their journey.

Therefore, the Japanese gathered their troops only because they were worried that they didn't have them. Once the Japanese decided to ambush them, they would definitely mobilize the Japanese in Xiangyang.

They just need to wait patiently for three or four days to find out whether the Japanese will ambush them on the road.

"Yeah." Liu Changshun nodded. It would be better to be more cautious. In fact, he didn't want to take a detour. After all, it would waste a lot of time.

A few minutes later, the walkie-talkie in my hand rang.

"Battalion Commander." Lu Changgong's voice came out.

"How is it?! Have the Japanese in Xiangyang taken any action?!" Li Jin asked hurriedly.

"There was no movement. We just saw the Japanese troops gathering towards Xiangyang. Just like before, they were worried that we would attack them, so they gathered their forces." Lu Changgong replied.

In the past two days, he saw a troop entering Xiangyang to gather troops, but he did not see any signs of leaving Xiangyang and heading north.

"Am I really overthinking it?!" Li Jin couldn't help but frown when he heard it, suspecting that he might really be overthinking it.

Maybe the Japs had just experienced a great war and had no intention of attacking him? !

"You continue to investigate and contact me when you have any news." Li Jin ordered.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong nodded.

"Wait for two more days. If the Japanese troops in Xiangyang don't move out during these two days, we don't need to change the route!" Li Jin looked at Liu Changshun and said.

After waiting for four days, if the Japanese didn't move, there was no need for him to change his return route!

"I understand." Liu Changshun nodded.

Just then the telegraph operator ran over.

"Battalion Commander, Division Commander Han sent us a telegram saying that the attack from behind us killed the Japanese brigade commander and also seriously injured the Japanese division commander Inaya Shiro. Our record is brilliant." The telegraph operator said hurriedly.

"Good boy, I didn't expect to get some gains." Li Jin smiled after hearing this. He thought that only a Japanese brigade commander was killed in the explosion, but he didn't expect that the Japanese division commander was also seriously injured. This was indeed good news.

"He was only seriously injured. Why didn't the Japanese division commander be killed in the explosion?" Liu Changshun said with a regretful tone after hearing this.

If we could kill the Japanese division commander, that would be really good news!

"Don't be too greedy. It was already very good that we were able to seriously injure the Japanese division commander at that time. Now we also killed a Japanese brigade commander." Li Jin said with a smile.

At that time, they had no idea of ​​the Japanese division commander's position. When they bombarded, they bombarded according to the position given by Li Jin. They were able to seriously injure the Japanese division commander, which was indeed a big profit.

"Yeah, I really don't know when we can kill a Japanese division commander." Liu Changshun sighed. He had killed many brigade commanders, but not a single division commander.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. Inaya Shiro is also an important division commander on the Japanese side. He is a senior officer who can command other division commanders. It's OK to seriously injure him.

It's unknown how long this guy will need to recover from his injuries before he can return to the army. If he's unlucky and loses an arm or a leg, he might not be able to return to the army!" Li Jin was still quite optimistic.

"What?! Is this Inaya Shiro so powerful?!" Liu Changshun was shocked. He thought he was just an ordinary division commander.

After the battalion commander said this, he realized that the status of this Inaya Shiro was not comparable to that of an ordinary division commander.

"What do you think..." Li Jin was stunned before he finished speaking.

"What's wrong with you, Battalion Commander?!" Liu Changshun was puzzled as to why the Battalion Commander stopped talking halfway through.

"Damn it, the devils might really want to encircle and suppress us." Li Jin said. He was just guessing before, but now he is 90% sure. "Ah?!" Liu Changshun was dumbfounded, not understanding why the battalion commander suddenly became so sure.

"Is it because we seriously injured this Inaya Shiro?!" Liu Changshun asked. The battalion commander's reaction must be related to Inaya Shiro.

"Well, their senior officers were seriously injured in our bombing, and so many Japanese soldiers died because of us. Now that they know our location, they will definitely want to destroy us." Li Jin nodded.

"Damn it, there's no need to let Lu Changgong investigate. The Japs are definitely going to attack us. Let's just take a detour." Liu Changshun couldn't help but swear.

Anyway, if he were a Japanese, he would definitely think of taking action against them. The fact that he hasn't taken action now may be that the Japanese are still considering it.

But the Japs will definitely choose to ambush them on the road.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, he took out the walkie-talkie and started contacting Lu Changgong.

"Chang Gong, you don't need to send people to investigate anymore. Send them back immediately. We are going to retreat by a detour." Li Jin said.

"Ah?! Battalion Commander, the Japanese in Xiangyang haven't even confirmed whether they will take action, but they just choose to retreat by a detour?!" Lu Changgong asked in confusion.

"It's hard to explain now. Please send someone back first. I'll wait for you." Li Jin urged.

"Yes!" Lu Changgong responded, and the intercom soon fell silent.

"I didn't expect that I still have to take a detour." Liu Changshun suddenly felt helpless.

"It's not a big problem. It just wastes some time." Li Jin said. Anyway, apart from wasting some time, they have no loss.

"Yeah." Liu Changshun nodded.

.........

In Changde, in the communications room, after Han Mingyuan had someone send a telegram to Li Jin, he received another telegram from Xiangyang.

After reading the telegram, Han Mingyuan happily took the telegram to the office to find Liang Gu.

"General, this kid Mu Jin really can't stop. He just killed the devils again when he arrived in Xiangyang.
We destroyed more than a dozen Japanese checkpoints and five bunkers in a row, killing two to three hundred Japanese soldiers!
Now the devils in Xiangyang have gathered their troops again, probably because they are afraid that Mu Jin will continue to attack them. "Han Mingyuan smiled and told Liang Gu the contents of the telegram.

"He really never misses any opportunity to kill the Japanese." Liang Gu was also a little helpless. This was Mu Jin's style.

"Tsk, hiss...it's broken!" Liang Gu's face suddenly changed.

"General, what's wrong?!" Han Mingyuan was confused. Isn't this a good thing? Why did the general change his expression?

"Mu Jin has exposed his position. The Japanese have probably guessed Mu Jin's retreat route, and they will likely set up ambushes for Mu Jin!" Liang Gu said seriously.

"No way?! It's basically impossible for the Japanese to pose a threat to Mu Jin without sending a division of troops." Han Mingyuan felt that it was impossible for the Japanese to mobilize so much manpower and material resources to attack Mu Jin's small force.

"If the Japanese division commander had not been seriously injured, it would naturally be impossible. But the problem is that the Japanese division commander was seriously injured, and the seriously injured division commander was not an ordinary division commander." Liang Gu explained.

Inaya Shiro was also a very powerful division commander, but he was seriously injured by Mu Jin. The Japanese must have hated Mu Jin to the core.

Now that they know Mu Jin's approximate location and have deduced his retreat route, the Japanese are bound to take action.

"General, I will quickly send a telegram to Mu Jin, reminding him to change the retreat route as soon as possible." Han Mingyuan turned and left.

Although Mu Jin's troops are very powerful, if they are caught off guard and ambushed by the Japanese, Mu Jin will probably not be able to escape.

"It's a pity that this news didn't come earlier, otherwise, we could have reminded Mu Jin not to attack the Japanese on his way back." Liang Gu sighed.

Mu Jin's speed of action was indeed a bit fast.

.........

Li Jin was still waiting for Lu Changgong and the others to come back. He was also wondering if there was any other way that would allow them to return by the original route without having to take a detour.

"Battalion Commander, Division Commander Han sent another telegram, telling us to quickly change our retreat route because the Japanese might ambush us along the retreat route!" The telegraph operator ran back again.

"Strange, why is Commander Han suddenly talking about this?!" Liu Changshun was a little confused when he heard it.

"There's nothing strange about it. It's probably his intelligence personnel who knew that we had taken action against the Japanese. Commander Liang guessed the situation, so he came to remind us." Li Jin didn't think there was anything wrong.

Liang Gu is not a fool and can analyze the seriousness of the matter. However, it is indeed good that Liang Gu can ask someone to remind him.

If it were an ordinary person, upon learning that he might be ambushed by the Japanese, they would probably hope that something bad happened to him. After all, their existence was indeed a big threat.

It would be best if the Japs attacked them, and it had nothing to do with Liang Gu.

"It seems that Liang Gu is still a good person." Liu Changshun praised.

He actually didn't have a good impression of the people over there, but he didn't expect that Liang Gu and the others were actually quite nice.

"Lao Liang is indeed a good friend. We should work together more often if we have the chance in the future." Li Jin also said.

"Battalion Commander, how do we reply to him?!" the telegraph operator asked.

"Thank him and tell him that he doesn't need to send the remaining balance of the money. We are all friends." Li Jin said.

Just based on Liang Gu's reminder, Li Jin didn't plan to ask for the final payment of tens of thousands of dollars.

"Battalion Commander, that's tens of thousands of dollars, and you're just going to give it up?!" Liu Changshun was shocked. Although their harvest was indeed huge this time, it was not the case that they could just give up tens of thousands of dollars.

"Well, no. Since Lao Liang treats us as friends, we can't care too much about such a small profit." Li Jin nodded.

Anyway, the higher-ups don't know about this money, so he decided not to take it.

Besides, maybe they could get Liang Gu to their side in the future, and then he would be one of their own. How could they betray their own people?

"That's right." Liu Changshun nodded, but he still felt a little painful to say no to tens of thousands of dollars.

.........

Liang Gu walked around in the office, smoked a few cigarettes, and then sat down again.

"I may have underestimated Mu Jin. This guy must have seen through it a long time ago." Liang Gu murmured. If he could see it, there was no reason why Mu Jin couldn't see it.

However, Mu Jin had to take a long detour just to kill more than 200 Japanese devils, and it always felt like it was not worth it.

After all, after Mu Jin returns to his own territory, he can use the time he takes a detour to kill more Japanese devils.

Of course, it is also possible that Mu Jin was too lazy to wait that long, so he took action against the Japanese. Given Mu Jin's style, he might really do so.

"It's different when you're strong. You don't take the Japs seriously at all." Liang Gu shook his head helplessly.
