Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

He Guangchen and his men did the same thing, not giving these devils any chance to survive.

"Captain Li, although killing these devils has indeed solved the villagers' temporary crisis, the problem has not been completely resolved." He Guangchen came to Li Jin and said with a frown.

"You are right. If so many devils just disappeared, they might send people out to look for them.

By then, maybe they will find this place. " Li Jin also nodded in agreement with what He Guangchen said. The death of dozens of devils was no small matter.

"So, we have to do something to attract the Japanese's attention and make them look away from here or let those villagers leave the village and live in the mountains, which is safer." He Guangchen suggested that only by diverting the Japanese's attention can the safety of these villagers be truly guaranteed.

"Then we can only postpone our journey a little bit. Let's go and attack the Japanese county town!" Li Jin made a decisive decision.

Now the Japanese checkpoints and telegrams are all deserted. If we want to divert the Japanese's attention, we can only attack the county town and let the Japanese know that a very powerful force has come here, and it is the Northeast Army.

"Good idea. This way, the Japanese will think that the one who destroyed them was the Northeast Army that caused them heavy losses!" He Guangchen said after hearing this. Only this method will make the Japanese afraid.

"Everyone, quickly deal with these bodies, and get rid of the bloodstains and other things, and try not to leave any traces!" Li Jin gave the order immediately.

These corpses of the Japanese devils cannot be left here. Not only will they scare the villagers, but it will also make it easy for the Japanese devils to find this place, putting the villagers in danger.

Each soldier grabbed a corpse by the scruff of the neck with one hand, lifted it up, and quickly moved away from the place.

He Guangchen's pupils shrank after seeing this. Although he could do this, looking at the expressions of these soldiers, why did it seem as easy as drinking water? Although these Japanese soldiers were short, they weighed more than 120 kilograms. They could carry such heavy things and still walk briskly. Their physical fitness was somewhat scary.

"Captain Li, I thought the gap between us and you wouldn't be that big, but now it seems that I overestimated myself!" He Guangchen couldn't help but say.

He had always thought that their fighting power would not be worse than those veterans of the Special Regiment, but when he actually saw them today, he found that the opponent was simply ridiculously strong.

"Captain He, these are soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion. They are the most powerful soldiers in the special operations regiment. The entire battalion has only 200 people.
You are certainly inferior to them, but compared to other companies, you are not bad." Li Jin explained.

In order to build this extremely powerful reconnaissance company, he spent a huge amount of materials, and the soldiers in it are all composed of the soldiers with the strongest comprehensive strength.

This comprehensive strength not only crushes the combat power of ordinary special forces soldiers, but also the skills they possess are far more than those of ordinary soldiers.

"Yeah, how could I forget this?" He Guangchen also realized that scouts need to perform various dangerous exploration missions. If their combat effectiveness is average, they would have been killed by the enemy long ago.

"So, Captain He, you don't need to feel any pressure because of this," Li Jin comforted.

"Well, I have to continue practicing after returning to the headquarters. I hope Captain Li can teach me more during this period." He Guangchen nodded and said quickly!

In fact, the task of escorting Li Jin to Yan'an did not require him, the deputy company commander, to carry out, but the boss sent him here anyway, also wanting him to learn more from Li Jin.

After all, Li Jin is very experienced in commanding troops in combat, and he has won every battle without a single defeat. Therefore, it would be very good for them to receive guidance from Li Jin, which would definitely allow them to reach a higher level.

"Captain He, you're too polite. We are all family. I will teach you everything I should teach you." Li Jin also understood why the boss insisted on letting the deputy commander of the special operations company to lead the way for him. This was to let him lead people and pass on his experience.

"Thank you, Captain Li!" He Guangchen saluted respectfully towards Li Jin.

"Oh, why thank you? We are one family. This is what we should do." Li Jin didn't think it was a big deal. Anyway, since He Guangchen was favored by the boss, he must be someone he could trust, otherwise he wouldn't have sent him here so easily.

"Captain Li is right. I won't say it again in the future." He Guangchen also apologized quickly.

"It's okay. Although I am a few years younger than you, I definitely have more combat experience than you. I should be more than qualified to be your teacher. So, there is no problem at all for you to learn from me." Li Jin said seriously.

When it comes to special warfare operations, he is now second to none, and no one can claim to be first in front of him. Although he relies on the power of the system, he has not disgraced special warfare operations and always kills the enemy at the lowest cost. This is the perfect operation.

"Yeah." He Guangchen nodded quickly.

.........

About four miles east of the valley, there is a village with a population of over a hundred people.

The sudden gunshots also woke up the people who were warming themselves by the fire at home.

"Old man, this sound sounds a bit like someone setting off firecrackers." The old lady who was warming herself by the fire was startled. After a while, she spoke!
"It's not the sound of firecrackers, it's the sound of gunfire." The old man sitting next to him got up and went into the inner room without saying a word, then took out a homemade gun.

"Old man, what are you doing?!" The old lady suddenly became anxious.

"With so many gunshots, I'm afraid it's the Japanese or the gangsters coming! Tell your sons to call for help and ask the villagers to hide in the mountains. I'll take people to see what's going on!" Grandpa Wu had a murderous look on his face and turned and left.

After hearing this, Grandma Xu did not dare to delay and hurried to find her son.

As soon as Mr. Wu went out, he saw a dozen young people and middle-aged men running towards him with shotguns.

"Village chief, you heard it, right? I don't know what the gunshots were about, but it doesn't seem like a good thing," said the young man in the lead, whose name was Wu Gui.

"Well, let's go and take a look. If they are really the Japanese or a gang, we have to fight them. We can't let anything happen to the villagers!" Old Man Wu nodded, his tone calm, and led everyone to the place where the gunshots came from.

"Strange, why do the gunshots feel a bit sparse and not as intense as just now? What's going on?!" Everyone ran quickly, but found that the previously intense gunshots had turned into single shots in twos and threes.

"I don't know." Old Master Wu shook his head. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only quicken his pace and rush towards the valley.

When they were near the valley, the gunfire had stopped. Old Man Wu made a gesture and asked the team to split into two teams and go up the mountain from both wings. The two teams cooperated very well.

"Don't go any further, or we'll shoot!" At this moment, a voice came from halfway up the mountain, causing Mr. Wu and his companions, who had wanted to go up the mountain to check the situation, to stop and immediately disperse, hiding behind the trees, because they saw someone pointing a machine gun at them from above. At the same time, the same thing happened on the other side of the mountain.

"What should the village chief do now?!" Wu Gui asked, he felt very dangerous.

"Don't shoot randomly, the other party doesn't seem to have any ill intentions!" Mr. Wu said immediately.

As for the enemy's machine gun, if it was used, the dozen or so people would probably be useless. "I'll go out and negotiate with them to see what's going on!" Old Man Wu stood up and walked out from behind the stone.

"Brothers on the mountain, don't shoot. Let's talk it over. I am the chief of Wujia Village!" Old Man Wu pointed the gun downward to indicate that he had no ill intentions.

"Tell your men to point their guns downwards. We are the Eighth Route Army and we were just fighting the Japanese. A group of them came towards your village, and for your safety we killed them." said the soldier on the mountain.

If he had not seen that these people were most likely villagers, he would have opened fire just now. However, he could also see that these villagers were not simple. They could actually split into two groups, climb the mountain from both wings, and occupy advantageous terrain. If you didn't know, you would think they were members of the army.

"So it's the Eighth Route Army. I've heard of you. You're a team dedicated to working for the benefit of the people. Put your guns down. It seems to be a misunderstanding." After hearing this, Mr. Wu asked the people around him to put down their guns.

"Village chief, these are not necessarily the Eighth Route Army, right? They might be saying this on purpose to make us let down our guard." Wu Gui said hurriedly. He was worried that if the other party was not them, he would be at the mercy of others once he put down his gun.

"Put down your guns if I tell you to. If they had opened fire with that machine gun when we weren't paying attention just now, we would all have been killed," Mr. Wu said bluntly.

The presence of powerful weapons like machine guns and the advance warning given to them showed that the other party was most likely not a bad guy and could very well be the Eighth Route Army.

"Okay, put your guns down." Wu Gui had no choice but to ask everyone to put down their guns.

"Go and notify Ergou to put down their guns as well. Do not cause any conflict." Old Man Wu gave more orders, worried that something might happen to the villagers on the other side.

"Okay." Wu Gui also hurried down the mountain.

"Brothers on the mountain, we have put down our guns. Why don't we meet and talk?" Old Man Wu shouted towards the mountain.

Because they were several hundred meters away from Li Jin, Li Jin and his team did not notice the situation here.

"Okay." After thinking it over, the soldier on the mountain decided to come out. In fact, he was not afraid of these villagers. Even without a machine gun, these villagers were no match for him in close combat.

When going down the mountain, the soldier also remained vigilant to avoid being attacked by the enemy.

The soldier Xiao Wu didn't stop until he was about a few meters in front of Mr. Wu.

"Come with me to see the commander. We have just eliminated those devils and he has something to tell you," Xiao Wu suggested.

"I'll go with you to meet him, and the others can stay here, right?!" Old Master Wu thought for a while and said that it would be safer for him to go and meet him on his own.

All of this is in the past. If it is not what he thought, something might happen. His old bones will not live for many years. If he dies, he dies, but these young guys should still have a chance to live.

"Village chief, how can this be possible? I'll go with you!" The young man next to him became anxious when he heard this and said quickly.

"Stop talking nonsense and just stay here! If anything happens, retreat immediately!" said Mr. Wu with a stern face.

“This…” The young man didn’t know what to say for a moment.

"Go and call Wu Gui and the others back, go quickly!" Old Master Wu scolded.

"Yes." The boy had no choice but to hurry down the mountain.

Xiao Wu just watched quietly and didn't do anything else. He knew that these villagers were still a little worried.

However, he was more interested in this old man and always felt that he was not simple.

While Mr. Wu was giving the instructions, he was also observing Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye. If the other party insisted that they go together, then he would take action.

In fact, he had already discovered that there was only this one person on the mountain, and there was no hostility in the other person's eyes, so he asked him to put down the gun.

"Grandpa, let's go then." Xiao Wu said as he walked.

"Well, which Eighth Route Army are you from? I haven't heard of any signs of Eighth Route Army activities around here." Old Man Wu nodded and asked again.

"There are indeed no devils around here, because we were just passing by here, but we didn't expect to see the devils heading towards your place.
Those devils were not good people. They entered the village with only one purpose, to massacre the villagers and capture the women.

I have seen a lot of them. Although I killed the devils, the civilians who died could not come back to life. It would have been better if I could have gone there earlier. "Xiao Wu couldn't help but sighed when he said this.

He had witnessed the Japanese slaughtering villages many times while following his regiment commander. Although he had avenged the people, he always felt uncomfortable.

"I thank you on their behalf." Mr. Wu said. He could feel the other party's self-blame and guilt.

"It's my duty. Our Eighth Route Army is a force that serves the people, and saving lives is one of its missions," Xiao Wu responded.

"The Eighth Route Army is indeed good. At least I have never heard of the Eighth Route Army harming the common people." Old Master Wu also praised them.

Compared with the National Army, the Eighth Route Army was indeed much better. At least, they did not forcibly conscript men like the National Army did.

"Of course, we have policies. If anyone dares to bully the common people, the consequences will be very serious!" Xiao Wu said proudly.

"That's great. If you don't mind, I want the young men in the village to join you in fighting the Japanese and contribute to the country." Old Man Wu suggested. In fact, all the young people in the village wanted to join the army to fight the Japanese, but he didn't agree.

Now if these hands are really the Eighth Route Army, then it would be a good thing to let the villagers join the Eighth Route Army.

"It's no use asking me this. You have to ask my commander. And even if the commander agrees, you will most likely not be able to join our regiment and may go to other units." Xiao Wu said hurriedly.

One cannot just join their special operations group casually; one has to check their background to avoid any spies among them.

"From what you said, your group is very special?!" Old Master Wu was not stupid. He knew what Xiao Wu meant as soon as he heard it.
