Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 899

Just as Liang Gu was sighing, Han Mingyuan came back with a telegram.

"General, we made tens of thousands of dollars with just one telegram!" Han Mingyuan said with a smile on his face.

"Tens of thousands of dollars?! What tens of thousands of dollars?!" Liang Gu was confused when he heard this.

"Mu Jin said that in order to thank us for our reminder, we don't have to pay the balance of the weapons purchase. Doesn't this mean that we earned tens of thousands of dollars with just a reminder telegram?" Han Mingyuan explained.

In his opinion, just a reminder could save them tens of thousands of dollars in payment later, which was a huge profit.

Liang Gu fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

"General, why are you unhappy?!" Han Mingyuan was a little confused when he saw this. This was tens of thousands of dollars, which was a lot.

"Mu Jin is actually treating us as friends.
If it were an ordinary person, after learning about the situation, he probably would not alert Mu Jin at all, and might even hope that Mu Jin would be killed by the devils.

But we did nothing, but reminded Mu Jin and gained his trust. We don't have to pay the balance, which is a token of our gratitude." Liang Gu began to explain.

"General, what you mean is that Mu Jin has never considered us friends from the beginning to the end, and only now does he consider us friends?!" Han Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then said.

He thought that after working with Mu Jin so many times, Mu Jin should treat them as friends, but he didn't expect that he was thinking too much.

"Yes, Mu Jin is too cautious and won't trust others easily.

I wonder if Mu Jin deliberately exposed his whereabouts to test whether we would alert them after receiving the news.

If we remind him, then he will treat us as friends. If we don't remind him, maybe Mu Jin will not cooperate with us in the future, let alone be friends. "Liang Gu said what he guessed.

But I have to say that Liang Gu did think too much, but he was right about one thing. When Liang Gu chose to remind him, Li Jin really regarded Liang Gu as a friend.

"No way, they killed the Japanese and exposed their own position just to see what we would do?!" Han Mingyuan couldn't believe it for a moment.

If it were him, he would have to expose his position and put his troops in danger in order to gain a trustworthy friend. He thought he could not do it.

"Nothing is impossible. Without putting your own troops in danger, you can select a true partner to cooperate with by spending only a small amount of time. Don't you think it's worth it?!" Liang Gu continued.

Mu Jin had already thought of a countermeasure. Even if his position was exposed, it would be impossible for the Japanese to surround him. The other side only needed to change their route.

The only problem is that changing the route will increase the time it takes them to get back.

"Now that you mention it, it is indeed possible." Han Mingyuan frowned, feeling that what Liang Gu said made sense.

"For Mu Jin, it is actually very important to have a friend he can trust. After all, he has left the army.
Everything depends on yourself. If you really encounter danger in the future, you can only leave it to fate.
Therefore, it is really important to have a trusted friend who can help him in times of danger." Liang Gu continued.

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that Mu Jin has actually been on guard against us all along?!" Han Mingyuan said.

"Well, you can say that the reason why he chose to lead the team to the rear was for safety reasons, to avoid the possibility that we might sell him out." Liang Gu nodded.

"But Kong Sheng is also following him, so isn't he worried about Kong Sheng?!" Han Mingyuan wondered. If that was the case, Mu Jin wouldn't need to bring Kong Sheng with him.

"Do you think, with their fighting power, they need to worry about Kong Sheng?! Or, with such a small number of people, what kind of war can they fight?!" Liang Gu asked back.

If Kong Sheng could sell Mu Jin, then Mu Jin would definitely not take Kong Sheng with him, but unfortunately, Kong Sheng could not sell him. On the contrary, Mu Jin could sell Kong Sheng.

Based on the several battles described by Kong Sheng, if Mu Jin wanted to sell Kong Sheng, there would be no way Kong Sheng would be able to escape.

"So that's how it is. Now that he has help, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of the troops." Han Mingyuan suddenly realized.

"However, that's all in the past. In the future, we will most likely be able to be friends with Mu Jin. If anything really happens, Mu Jin will probably help us." Liang Gu said with a smile.

Although Mu Jin's men are few in number, their troops are powerful and are a rare helper. Moreover, Mu Jin's men are few in number only now.

It is hard to say how many people Mu Jin will have in the future. Once Mu Jin’s troops grow stronger, the Japanese will be in trouble.

"So, with this reminder, we not only paid the balance to Mu Jin, but also gained his trust?!" Han Mingyuan also laughed.

"Good." Liang Gu nodded. This was something worth being happy about. Not having to pay the balance was just the icing on the cake.

But being able to save tens of thousands of dollars is also a good thing.

.........

It was ten o'clock that evening.

In the office, Minamida Morikazu had not yet gone to rest. He was still waiting for news from the brigade commander.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel was also waiting on the side.

"Captain, perhaps the division commander will not agree to encircle this unit. After all, the possibility of not being able to encircle it is quite high." The Japanese lieutenant colonel couldn't help but speak.

He felt that if they could not stop the enemy, the manpower and material resources they consumed would be enormous.

"It's hard to say now. What if the division commander agrees? Besides, there is no such thing as smooth sailing in war. It's nothing to waste a little manpower and material resources.
If we can annihilate this unit and get rid of this major threat, we can fight with more peace of mind." Nan Tian Shouyi explained.

He felt that if it were possible to annihilate the enemy by spending some manpower and material resources, the division commander might still agree.

"That seems to be the case. Anyway, we have no other losses apart from this." The Japanese lieutenant colonel thought it made sense when he heard it.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the office became more and more depressing, and Minamida Morikazu smoked several cigarettes in a row.

The office was filled with smoke.

Ring ring ring......

Suddenly, the phone rang. Minamida Morikazu quickly threw his cigarette butt on the ground, stood up and answered the phone.

"Mr. Nantian." The voice of the Japanese brigade commander came from the phone.

"Brigade Commander, I'm here!" Minamida Morikazu responded quickly.

"The division commander has agreed. He thinks what you said makes sense. The enemy is only staying in Xiangyang for a short time and is likely to have headed north. Therefore, the division commander decided to mobilize troops to intercept this force in the north.
However, we are still short of some manpower. Tomorrow morning, you will gather the troops and lead them north immediately to participate in this operation." The Japanese brigade commander told the story.

"Understood! I'll give the order now." Minamida Morikazu said excitedly. It was a great thing to be able to participate in the encirclement and suppression of this army this time.

The key point is that he was actually mentioned by the division commander. If he can successfully eliminate this enemy, he will have a bright future.

"Mr. Nantian, I hope you will take this mission seriously. If you surround the enemy and let them escape from you, the consequences will be very serious." The Japanese brigade commander said seriously. "Don't worry, brigade commander, I will do it myself and there will be no mistakes!" Nantian Shouyi responded.

"Well, go ahead and do it. As for the defense of Xiangyang, I will transfer people over to help."

"Hi!"

The call was hung up and a busy tone was heard. Minamida Morikazu put down the phone with a smile on his face.

"Captain, has the division commander agreed to your plan?!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel also stood up and asked. Judging from what the commander said, it was very likely that this was the case.

"That's right, the division commander asked us to set out north tomorrow to participate in this operation! I believe that this unit can't fly out even if it has wings!" Minamida Morikazu looked confident.

There are more than 10,000 or almost 20,000 people encircling and suppressing the enemy. As long as the enemy enters their encirclement, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he cannot escape.

With this amount of troops, it is enough to fight against the National Army of 70,000 to 80,000 people, not to mention a force of only a few hundred people.

"You must be prepared too. There must be no mistakes. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" Nan Tian Shouyi said seriously.

"Please rest assured, Commander!" the Japanese lieutenant colonel said hurriedly.

.........

The next morning, Nantian Morikazu led a regiment of more than 3,000 people and set out northward. Only two small teams of soldiers were left to guard the county town. The radio station and other things were taken away by Nantian Morikazu so that he could better command the troops.

For a while, the people in the city were talking about it.

"What's going on with these little Japanese? Why did they run out of the city? Did they find the army that attacked them?!"

"It's possible. The Japanese gathered their troops before, obviously to avoid the attack of that unit. Now they probably found the trace of that unit and even dispatched a lot of troops to encircle and suppress it."

"Who can contact that team?! Quickly notify them and tell them to leave."

Some people began to worry, fearing that this army fighting the Japanese would be wiped out by the Japanese.

"Who can contact this unit? I have never seen it before. This unit is really mysterious.

Previously, we were able to defeat the Japanese and force them to gather their forces to deal with us. This is really amazing."

"Yeah, I believe they will be fine. They are just some little devils. They are nothing."

Other civilians also responded that although they could not contact this unit, they believed that this unit was so powerful that it would definitely be able to overcome the danger.

.........

On the other side, Changde.

Han Mingyuan found Liang Gu again with the telegram.

"Commander, the Japanese are indeed going to take action. Intelligence personnel have reported that this morning, the Japanese regiment set out to the north.
Now there are only two squads of soldiers left in the county to guard the county." Han Mingyuan said.

"Sure enough, I knew the Japs would do this." Liang Gu snorted coldly.

"Should we tell Mu Jin? He has probably already taken a detour and retreated." Han Mingyuan asked.

"You'd better say it." Liang Gu thought for a while and said.

Anyway, it’s just a reminder to tell Mu Jin the movements of the Japanese.

"Yes!" Han Mingyuan nodded and turned to leave.

Not long after, Han Mingyuan came back.

"General, the Japanese troops in Xiangyang are now understaffed. Can we launch a surprise attack on them? Let's try to capture a county town." Han Mingyuan looked eager to try.

Although they have made many contributions, they have not yet achieved the feat of capturing a city captured by the Japanese.

The key point is that Xiangyang is also a big city, and it would be a great achievement if they could capture it.

"Forget it." Liang Gu shook his head.

"General, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you just going to give up like this?!" Han Mingyuan was a little puzzled.

Xiangyang is now guarded by only two squads of Japanese soldiers, plus the puppet army, which has no more than a thousand people at most, and they have little combat effectiveness. They only need to send a brigade of troops there to easily capture Xiangyang.

"Xiangyang is also a city that the devils value. Now that the devils have transferred so many people to the north, they will definitely send people to take over.
The speed at which the Japanese moved was much faster than ours, so it would be a wasted trip if we rushed over.
Even if we arrive early and capture Xiangyang in a short time, the Japanese will probably choose to pursue us and cut off our troops' retreat route.

Tell me, can we still fight?! It is true that Xiangyang is short of troops, but we don’t have wings, so we can’t rush there in such a short time.” Liang Gu explained.

If they could fight, he would have given the order long ago, but the problem is that they can't fight, so there is no need to send out. Are they going to send troops over and then retreat without firing a shot?! Wouldn't they lose all their face then?

"Commander, I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Han Mingyuan also realized that he didn't think enough.

When they heard that the Japanese troops in Xiangyang were short of manpower, they thought they could take Xiangyang, completely forgetting that it would take them a lot of time to get there.

"It's okay, there's no need to blame yourself. Just think more about the actual situation in the future." Liang Gu had no intention of blaming him.

"I understand!" Han Mingyuan nodded.

.........

At this time, Li Jin also received the telegram from Han Mingyuan, and Liu Changshun found Li Jin with the telegram.

"Battalion Commander, you are right. The Japanese in Xiangyang set out north early this morning. It is obvious that they are coming for us!" Liu Changshun said the contents of the telegram.

At this time, the Japanese suddenly led their troops northward. Even a fool could see that they were coming for them, otherwise, they couldn't have been going for an outing.

"Is this the telegram sent by Lao Han?!" Li Jin asked.

"Well, they said that there are only two Japanese squads left guarding Xiangyang." Liu Changshun responded.

"Two Japanese squads?!" Li Jin touched his chin, and he felt like he had just thought of something.

"Battalion Commander, you are not planning to turn back and attack Xiangyang, are you?!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but say when he saw this.

"That's right. I plan to turn back and capture Xiangyang once. If the Japanese ambush us, I will just capture Xiangyang and let the Japanese know that we are not so easy to besiege." Li Jin said with a smile.
