Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

After Li Jin gave the map to Chu Yunfei, he turned and left. At this time, Lu Changgong and the others suddenly emerged from the nearby bushes and followed Li Jin.

"This group of people is really elusive." Chu Yunfei couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the map in his hand, then carefully folded the map and put it in his pocket.

He will not show this map to anyone else but Commander Yan. There is no other way because he is really worried that this map will be leaked by others.

"Commander." At this time, two guards ran in. After waiting for so long, they didn't see Chu Yunfei come out. They were worried that something had happened to Chu Yunfei.

If something goes wrong, the two of them who are protecting the group will also be in trouble.

"How did you get in? Didn't I tell you to wait for me to leave?!" Chu Yunfei frowned when he saw the two of them.

"Commander, I'm sorry. I saw that you haven't come out for a long time, so I was a little worried. Please punish me!" The two guards quickly admitted their mistakes.

"Forget it, let's go back to the city." Chu Yunfei heard this without thinking too much.

Ten minutes later, Chu Yunfei returned to the military camp. As soon as he returned to the office, Fang Ligong came to him.

"Brother Ligong, what did you want to say before? Now you can say it." Chu Yunfei asked. He remembered that he met Fang Ligong before leaving, and the other party had something to say.

"Commander, this month's military salaries have been distributed on time. Let me show you. These are the soldiers' fingerprints." Fang Jihong handed a notebook to Chu Yunfei.

"Well, just distribute it." Chu Yunfei nodded with satisfaction. When the salaries of other troops were in arrears, their 358th Regiment was still able to pay the salaries on time, which was quite good.

"Commander, what does Mu Jin want to see you for?!" Fang Ligong couldn't help but ask.

"What else can we do? Cooperate to fight the Japanese." Chu Yunfei also knew that Fang Ligong must have asked the telegraph operator, so he knew that Mu Jin came to see him.

It seems that we need to change a telegraph operator in the future. Someone who can't keep his mouth shut is not suitable to be a telegraph operator.

"Is Mu Jin really going to fight the Japanese division?!" Fang Ligong was shocked.

He was just wondering if Mu Jin came here to fight the Japanese division, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Well, ask them all to come to the conference room for a meeting." Chu Yunfei nodded.

"Yes!" Fang Ligong turned and left.

A few minutes later, Chu Yunfei came to the meeting room.

The battalion officers are waiting here.

"Commander, are we going to fight the Japanese with Mu Jin next?!" Someone immediately stood up and asked.

"Sit down first and listen to me." Chu Yunfei gestured to the other party to sit down first, and he would speak slowly.

"Mu Jin came to me to cooperate with me to fight the Japanese, and the Japanese are likely to send troops to fight us, but the people who come are probably all new recruits.
Therefore, Mu Jin plans to cooperate with us to eliminate the Japanese who are attacking Fucheng on the way." Chu Yunfei told the story.

"Commander, but didn't the division commander tell us to retreat immediately if we found any signs of the Japanese coming to the floating city?
I'm afraid it's not appropriate to cooperate with Mu Jin at this time?!" The deputy head of the group said.

He felt that continuing to cooperate with Mu Jin to fight the Japanese would be tantamount to disobeying orders.

"I will go to the division commander in person to explain to him tomorrow. The most important thing next is to deal with the Japanese who may attack!" Chu Yunfei said directly.

He planned to go to the headquarters tomorrow to explain things to the division commander in person and discuss cooperation with Mu Jin with the commander.

When everyone heard this, they immediately had no objections.

"The two Japanese divisions have just arrived in Taiyuan and will definitely take a break. Chief of Staff Fang, please have our intelligence personnel keep a close eye on the situation in Taiyuan.
If there is any movement, report it immediately! Don’t wait until the devils set off before we know the news!" Chu Yunfei made the deployment.

He doesn't want to be too passive; that's not his style.

"I understand!" Fang Ligong nodded.

"The rest of the people, hurry up and continue training during this period. Increase the amount of training, and also keep up with the food. Do you understand?" Chu Yunfei looked at everyone and continued to give orders.

Every day that soldiers can train is a day that can also reduce more casualties.

"I understand!" Everyone nodded.

"Disband!" Chu Yunfei waved his hand.

Everyone left the meeting room, talking quietly.

"Why do I feel that this battle will not be easy?"

"I think so too. If it were you, the commander should have retreated earlier!"

"There's no rush to retreat. It's a good thing to kill a few more devils now."

.........

"Commander, I think we should just give up on our cooperation with Mu Jin this time. Let's just retreat." Fang Ligong couldn't help but say after everyone else had left.

"Why?! Are you so afraid of death?!" Chu Yunfei asked back.

"Commander, what you said, when has Fang Ligong ever been afraid of death?" Fang Ligong was immediately dissatisfied.

After all, he had been through life and death with Chu Yunfei.

"That's it, Brother Ligong. Neither you nor I are afraid of death. Since there is a chance to kill a few more Japanese devils, we should not miss it." Chu Yunfei said seriously.

"Commander, I mean, we should preserve our strength. The 358th Regiment is a unit with combat experience.
This is an elite unit. What if there are heavy casualties in this battle? The troops that have been trained with great difficulty are going to go back to the past all of a sudden! " Fang Ligong began to persuade them.

Once the veterans of the 358th Regiment suffer heavy casualties, their strength will decline, and Chu Yunfei will not be able to perform his position properly. These are Chu Yunfei's future capital.

"Brother Ligong, you weren't like this before?! What are you worried about?!" Chu Yunfei also noticed something unusual. He had worked with Fang Ligong for many years and knew each other to some extent.

"Commander, tsk, ah... Let me tell you the truth, your qualification to be the brigade commander is over. Commander Yan doesn't trust you! He thinks you are a thorn arranged by the commander!" Fang Ligong hesitated for a few seconds, but finally told the truth.

Chu Yunfei failed to do the job, and Fang Ligong felt unhappy, so he told the other party about the matter.

"What did you say? Where did you know this news?!" Chu Yunfei was stunned when he heard it.

"Where else can I know? Of course I'll know from the master. You just went to see Mu Jin today.
I called the commander, and he told me, so do you understand? ! Don't cooperate with Mu Jin, preserve your current strength, and you will have a better future in the future! "Fang Ligong said and persuaded.

He didn't want to see Chu Yunfei working so hard to fight the Japanese but not getting the credit he deserved!

"Ah..." Chu Yunfei sighed deeply after hearing this. He never thought that he had done so much for the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, but Commander Yan didn't believe him. Since he didn't believe him, he shouldn't have thought about getting him on good terms with Mu Jin from the beginning.

"Commander, you'd better pretend that you didn't hear anything about this. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the division commander." Fang Ligong said hurriedly.

The master did not allow him to tell anyone about this matter because he was worried that Chu Yunfei would not do his job with all his heart after learning the news.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone and I won't question you." Chu Yunfei responded. Fang Ligong told him these things because he regarded him as a friend. If he told anyone, wouldn't he be selling out Fang Ligong? He couldn't do such a thing.

"I will go to the headquarters tomorrow, and you don't have to follow me." Chu Yunfei said.

"Commander, regarding matters like cooperation with Mu Jin, can't we just make a phone call to the division commander? There's no need to go to the headquarters to find the division commander in person, right?!" Fang Ligong actually wanted to ask this during the meeting just now.

For things like this, wouldn't it be faster to just call and notify them? There's no need to go there in person.

"I'm going to see the commander." Chu Yunfei said.

"Commander, you are not going to question the commander, are you?!" Fang Ligong was immediately panicked. If Chu Yunfei went to question the commander, he would probably be punished.

"Brother Ligong, what are you thinking about? I went to see the commander because I had other things to say. It has nothing to do with what you said." Chu Yunfei explained helplessly.

"Is that so? That's good, that's good." Fang Ligong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander, if there's nothing else, I'll go down first."

"Well, go and get busy." Chu Yunfei nodded. He looked at Fang Ligong's leaving back, then stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the sunset in the distance, he felt extremely melancholy. He really didn't understand. He had always respected Commander Yan, so why would Commander Yan doubt him? !

"Oh... Never mind, just doubt it if you want to." Chu Yunfei sighed deeply.

Even if he is suspected, he will still fight the Japanese, because he is a soldier and he will not give up on himself just because he is not qualified to be a brigade commander. What he has to do is to defend his country, not just for his future.

.........

On the other side, after Li Jin left Fucheng for a few miles, he stopped, took out a small notebook, and began to write down the battle plan.

He spent several days studying before coming up with a plan. Now that he has worked out a plan with Chu Yunfei, he has to tell the leader about it.

"Send this telegram to the leader." After Li Jin finished writing the battle plan, he handed it to the telegraph operator.

"My God, this must be the longest battle plan." Seeing this, Lu Changgong couldn't help but sigh. It was the first time he saw the regiment commander send such a detailed battle plan to the leader.

"There's no other way. The plan against the 16th Division cannot have any mistakes, so it needs to be written in great detail!" Li Jin said.

In order for this plan to succeed, he sacrificed a lot of brain cells to come up with this plan.

"Captain, what if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army really refuses to cooperate with us?!" Lu Changgong frowned and expressed his concerns.

"If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. I have already thought of the plan. I will tell you when I get back." Li Jin said. How could he make preparations for both situations?

"Yes." Lu Changgong nodded.

This telegram took a long time to send because it contained a lot of content.

"Captain, the telegram has been sent." After waiting for more than ten minutes, the telegraph operator finally finished sending the telegram.

"Well, let's continue." Li Jin nodded. He thought that the leaders would not reply to the message so quickly. The translation alone might take a long time.

.........

The fact was just as Li Jin thought. In the communication room of the brigade, after receiving the message, the telegraph operator looked at the full page of numbers and felt a little overwhelmed.

"Oh my god, how long will it take to translate this?" The telegraph operator was a little annoyed. He even suspected that the person was deliberately making fun of him.

But he didn't dare to waste time, fearing that it might be important news.

It took more than half an hour for the telegraph operator to translate the contents of several full pages, and he also had to check if there were any mistakes in the translation.

After making sure that the telegram was not translated incorrectly, he stood up and left with the contents of the telegram, running quickly towards the meeting room.

In the conference room, the leader was also wondering what Li Jin's plan would be.

To be honest, he didn't know what was going on over there, otherwise he could help make a plan.

In general, it is a bit out of reach, and the plan should be made by Li Jin, who knows the situation there best.

"Li Jin hasn't sent us any telegrams in the past few days. It's obvious that making plans is also difficult for him." said the political commissar.

If it were in the past, Li Jin would have already made a plan and sent them a telegram to report.

Now that such a long time has passed, there is still no news from Li Jin, which shows that this battle is indeed difficult.

"There's no other way. Li Jin is going to fight against the Japanese's Class A division. If we're not careful, there will be heavy casualties.
Moreover, Li Jin only has one chance to attack the enemy's rear, and there will be no second chance, so it is normal for him to be under great pressure." The commander could understand the difficulties that Li Jin was facing.

Attacking the Japanese division commander and capturing him alive is not an easy task. If it were someone else, they might not even dare to think about it.

"Commander, I feel that this operation is more risky than ever before. Otherwise, let Li Jin stop thinking about targeting the 16th Division of the Japanese.

Let's attack the New 20th Division instead. It might be easier to attack this division. Although the enemy has the 16th Division protecting them, with Li Jin's ability, he can inflict heavy losses on the New 20th Division. "The political commissar hesitated and spoke.

He still felt that the plan to attack the rear of the 16th Division and capture Nakajima Imao alive was a bit risky.

"Li Jin has already made the decision. Do you think he will agree not to fight? Moreover, we agreed to his fighting before, but now we don't agree. Do you think he will listen to us?!" the leader said helplessly.

Going back on one's word is not okay. The most taboo thing when giving orders is to change them from one day to the next. Li Jin might be getting annoyed now. If he suddenly says to him, "Stop fighting", who can stop? !

"That's true." The political commissar sighed.

"Let's see if this kid can come up with a good plan first. If the plan he came up with is not feasible, then don't let him fight." said the leader.

Now we can only wait and see whether the plan Li Jin comes up with will work.

If he can fight, he will fully support Li Jin. If he can't fight, he can only order Li Jin not to fight. I hope it will work.
