Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"The military doctor has also been poisoned and is suffering from vomiting and diarrhea." The Osaka division commander responded.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Itaheng Seishirō was immediately shocked. How could even the military doctor get into trouble?

"That's why I said, maybe it really is food poisoning, not an excuse." The Osaka division commander continued, he was also a little helpless, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be willing to believe it.

"How many people are poisoned now?!" Itahene Seishirō asked hurriedly.

"Basically all the soldiers of a brigade are in trouble," said the Osaka division commander.

"So many people?! All poisoned?! Immediately notify other military doctors and have them come over to rescue. There must not be any casualties.

Even if there are any, they must be kept to a minimum! Do you understand? "Ita Heng Zhengshiro ordered hurriedly, he was really a little panicked.

If all the soldiers of this brigade died of food poisoning, it would be a big trouble.

"I have already dispatched other military doctors to provide treatment, but given their condition, I'm afraid they won't be able to block the enemy's retreat route." The Osaka division commander hesitated after saying this. To be honest, he didn't want his troops to be in this situation.

"No need to go, alas..." Itahene Seishirō sighed.

"Why?! Could it be that the enemy has retreated early?!" The Osaka division commander was puzzled.

"Well, the airport has been captured by the enemy, and even the regiment that was sent there was probably wiped out." Itakane Seishirō told the story.

"How is this possible?! The airport is gone just like that?!" The Osaka division commander was shocked. In his opinion, it was impossible for the enemy to take down the airport.

Even if they could take it down, it would be impossible to do so in such a short time. Their reinforcements could fully support them.

"I don't want to believe it either. I just hope some soldiers can come out over there and tell me some details." Itaheng Seishirō sighed.

In fact, he felt that the soldiers in the airport probably had no chance of escape at all. Since the enemy dared to attack the airport, they must have planned to block the retreat route of the airport soldiers.

"If that's the case, the pilots inside are probably in danger!" Commander Osaka fell silent after saying this.

Every pilot is extremely valuable, especially those with experience in air combat, and the batch at their airport is just that.

"I hope some pilots can be captured by the enemy. Although it will cost a lot later, it will be a good thing as long as we can get those pilots back!" Itahira Seishirō just hopes that those pilots will not all die in battle.

"That's right." The Osaka division commander also agreed with this. The cost of re-training pilots is relatively high.

"Okay, you should focus on the situation of those soldiers first. If there are any casualties, report immediately." Itahira Seishirō ordered.

"Hi!"

After hanging up the phone, Itaheng Seishiro sighed again. What on earth was going on with that army? Why was it so powerful? !

The combat effectiveness of ordinary troops is totally incomparable to that of the enemy!
"Division Commander!" At this time, Ban Shangshanfu came back.

"Have all the troops returned?!" asked Itakane Seishirō.

"Well, they are on their way back." Ban Shangshanfu nodded. Although several commanders were a little confused, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Division Commander, I think we should also form a powerful small force, as powerful as this Northeast Army!" Ban Shangshanfu couldn't help but suggest.

That Northeastern Army was able to train its soldiers so well, there is no reason why they can't do it. They have more supplies than that Northeastern Army.

If they don't train a force capable of confronting the Northeastern Army, they will be constrained everywhere and won't be able to carry out their plan.

Especially with the cage policy they were going to implement later, as long as the Northeast Army had no troops that could contain the other side, there would be hidden dangers for them to attack their Eighth Route Army opponents.

Therefore, if they could train an equally powerful force, this problem could be solved.

"What you said makes sense. I will mention this matter to the commander. You should go and have a rest first. Tomorrow morning, we will send someone to the airport to check the situation and see what's going on there." said Itagaki Seishirō.

If he didn't let people see the destroyed plane with their own eyes, he really wouldn't believe it.

"Division Commander, I'm not sleepy yet and can wait. Why don't you take a rest first?" Ban Shangshanfu responded. How could he sleep after such a big thing happened?

The soldiers at the airport plus the reinforcements who were ambushed, that's an entire brigade. If they were all wiped out, the loss would be huge.

"Then just wait quietly. Maybe Tanashita Kojiro has already escaped, but he is not safe yet, so he didn't reply to the telegram." Itakane Seishirō said. He still hoped that someone could escape from the airport.

"What the division commander said is right. The enemy may have blocked their retreat, but Kojiro Tanashita did not retreat too late, so they must have escaped now!" Banshanfu also held on to hope.

The two were waiting in the war room.

Itakase Seishirō was also thinking about how to explain to the commander tomorrow about the bombing of the airport. He had originally planned to report it immediately, but then he thought that the matter was already done. If he reported it now, not only would he disturb the commander's rest, but he would also be scolded by the commander.

.........

On the other side, Li Jin, Li Yunlong and others realized after they stopped hearing the sound of gunfire that the battle between Zhao Gang and the Japanese was coming to an end and they just needed to continue waiting.

"Captain, our casualties have been counted. A total of 47 people have died and 125 have been seriously injured!" Xu Qingfeng came to Li Jin and reported the casualties. The seriously injured soldiers and the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers were escorted away before they left.

"This number of casualties is barely acceptable." Li Jin nodded. It was about the same as he expected.

"Now it depends on the situation over there with Tang Qingshan and his men. But I feel that they will have to fight the Japanese with bayonets, and the casualties will probably be greater than ours." Xu Qingfeng guessed. He knew that Li Jin did not let the veterans help, and he agreed with Li Jin's decision.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded expressionlessly.

"Although they are new recruits, you new recruits are still very strong in combat, especially in terms of marksmanship." Li Yunlong said. When the war broke out, he was also observing the situation on the battlefield. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the new recruits is still much stronger than that of the Japanese.

"We consumed a lot of ammunition to let them practice shooting. If they don't show some results, how can we justify the ammunition?" Li Jin responded.

Although the new recruit was not very good at close combat, he would not be careless when it came to shooting training.

"When I go back this time, I will have to give the soldiers more training bullets to increase their combat effectiveness." Li Yunlong said. The spoils this time were also quite rich, so when he returns to the New 1st Regiment’s base, he can definitely increase the soldiers’ training bullets.

"That's right. There's no use keeping the bullets if we don't use them to practice shooting." Li Jin nodded in agreement.

After they waited for twenty minutes, Zhao Gang and his men arrived.

"Captain!" "Old Zhao, how many Japanese have been killed?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"More than 4,200 Japanese devils, obviously a reinforced regiment." Zhao Gang also read out the battle report. An ordinary Japanese devil regiment had about 3,800 people, and more than 4,000 people could indeed be considered a reinforced regiment.

"Good! Damn, well done." After hearing this, Li Yunlong happily patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder.

"Captain." Tang Qingshan also came to Li Jin at this time.

"Well, how many people died?!" While Li Jin was speaking, he looked at the special operations team at the rear and saw many soldiers carrying the bodies of soldiers.

"Fifty-eight people died, most of them in bayonet fighting, but the performance of the new recruits was still very good, and they killed a lot of enemies." Tang Qingshan replied. The remaining soldiers were basically killed by bullets hitting their vital parts.

"It's okay, Commander, it's time for us to retreat." Li Jin looked at Li Yunlong and said.

"Well, let's go." Li Yunlong nodded, and the group jogged forward. They walked on the road openly. After all, it was night, and even if the Japanese wanted to send planes to bomb them, they couldn't do it.

Besides, the airport has been bombed by them, so what can the Japanese here use to bomb them?

On the way back, Li Yunlong also sent a telegram to the commander to report the battle situation and everything was going well.

The leader replied very quickly. There were only six words on the telegram: Very well done!

It can be seen that the leader is very happy.

"Li Jin, the commander replied too quickly. He wouldn't be in the communications room waiting for our telegram." Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Li Jin with a smile.

"It should be." Li Jin nodded. Otherwise, the telegram would not have been replied so quickly. This was the only explanation.

"I think what might make the commander happiest is that you captured dozens of Japanese pilots. Now we have the bargaining chips to exchange our people back from the Japanese," said Li Yunlong.

Although they blew up the Japanese airport and annihilated a Japanese brigade, what should make the leader happy are the captured prisoners.

"Well, our people have suffered at the hands of the Japanese, and it's time to let them come back. They are all heroes!" Li Jin nodded.

Many soldiers were captured because of their serious injuries. They did not surrender to the Japanese voluntarily. They fought until the last moment. Therefore, even if they were captured by the Japanese, these soldiers are heroes.

"Captain, the leader has sent another telegram." At this time, another telegraph operator came over with a telegram.

Li Yunlong quickly took the telegram and started reading it.

"Don't abuse these Japanese pilots, so as not to violate discipline!" Li Yunlong said.

"Commander, you are worried that these Japanese pilots will die before they are sent to the brigade headquarters, right?" Zhao Gang couldn't help but say.

"Need I say more? Of course, we are on guard against Li Jin. We are worried that Li Jin will kill the Japanese again." Deputy Captain Qian joked with a smile.

Li Jin was also embarrassed when he heard this. Why couldn't this matter be resolved?

"No matter what, we cannot let these Japanese pilots die before they can play their due role." Li Jin said with a serious face.

It took a lot of effort to capture these Japanese pilots. We cannot let the soldiers under us kill them. The death of a Japanese pilot will make the bargaining chip much lighter.

…………

Brigade headquarters, in the conference room.

The chief and the political commissar were not asleep either. They were waiting for news from Li Yunlong and his men. After all, Li Jin and his men had gone to Taiyuan to attack the Japanese airport, so there was still some danger.

"It's already twelve o'clock. Li Jin and his men should have already taken action at the airport." The political commissar glanced at his watch and said.

According to the battle plan reported by Li Jin, twelve o'clock is the time for Li Jin and his men to attack the airport, and the attack time set by Li Jin will basically not change unless there is an unexpected situation.

"Well, if things go well, they can eliminate the Japs in the airport in half an hour and then blow up their planes." The chief also nodded.

"I feel more confident in Li Jin's work. In fact, I think we can let Li Jin capture some of the Japanese pilots at the airport. This will be of great use to us." The political commissar couldn't help but suggest.

"I know, but do you think that kid Li Jin will let those Japanese devils go?! If I give him the order, what if this kid suddenly has a brain attack and kills all the prisoners?!" The commander felt helpless when he said this.

The last time they gave the order to capture prisoners, Li Jin ended up causing such a big disaster. If they hadn't been quick-witted, the grass on Li Jin's grave would be three meters high.

Therefore, he didn't dare to give Li Jin the order to capture prisoners. He didn't want to take even the slightest risk.

"Commander, are you too cautious? This time we captured Japanese pilots, maybe Li Jin will catch them?!" the political commissar thought for a while and said.

The last time Li Jin killed prisoners was because the Japanese slaughtered the entire town’s population, which angered Li Jin.

Given the situation at the time, let alone Li Jin, when he heard about it, he wanted to do it himself.

"Forget it. Although the Japanese pilots are valuable, in real comparison, they actually kill the most people. If they die, they die." The leader shook his head.

Li Jin knew this better than him. Over the years, countless soldiers and civilians had died in the Japanese air raids, so he felt that Li Jin might not necessarily obey orders.

Rather than letting Li Jin disobey orders, it would be better not to give the order, then no accidents would occur.

"That's true. But if we can really capture a lot of Japanese pilots, we can also exchange them for the soldiers captured by the Japanese." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh as he said the latter part.

Many of their soldiers had been captured by the Japanese and there had been no chance to rescue them. It would be a great thing if they could capture the Japanese pilot.

The key is that they can also use this to boost the reputation of the troops. Not only did they take down the Japanese airport, they also captured several Japanese pilots.

Spreading the word can also attract more people to join them.

"Yeah." The leader nodded.

Time passed minute by minute, but no telegraph operator came to report the situation.
