Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"That's the only way." The political commissar nodded.

The two men pondered for a while, and then the telegraph operator rushed in.

"Commander, we have received a telegram from the Special Operations Regiment."

The leader took the telegram and started reading it. It contained the battle plan written by Li Jin.

"This kid is really something." A few minutes later, the leader smiled and said.

"Has Li Jin formulated a battle plan?!" the political commissar said upon hearing this. If he guessed correctly, the plan formulated by Li Jin should be able to be implemented, otherwise the leader would not be so happy.

"Yes, his plan is very detailed, and he has made several contingency plans. It can be said that there will not be too many problems in the implementation of this plan." While speaking, the leader handed the telegram to the political commissar.

He also didn't expect that Li Jin could formulate a battle plan in such a short time.

"In other words, this plan can basically be implemented?!" The political commissar took the telegram and started reading it.

"His plan has at least a 90% chance of success." The chief said seriously.

"Hiss... He has understood the Japs' psychology thoroughly. The whole plan is all about setting traps for the Japs, one after another.

Let alone the Japs, even I feel my scalp tingling when I see them." The political commissar took a breath and said, his words were full of praise for Li Jin.

"Not to mention that he can catch the eyes of several old leaders, he can also be asked to teach those officers. Such a detailed plan is simply not something that ordinary people can come up with." The leader raised the corners of his mouth, and he was obviously very happy.

"Commander, if Li Jin really captured the Japanese division commander, do we really have to let him skin Nakajima Imao alive?!" the political commissar said with a frown.

If the other party was really caught, he would actually be considered a prisoner. If Li Jin did this, it would probably not be appropriate.

"Don't worry, this guy will do his job well. If he captures Nakajima Imaogo alive, he will definitely find a scapegoat.

By then, the Japanese won’t know what’s going on.” The chief believed that Li Jin could handle the matter perfectly.

"Besides, who knows if he really captured Nakajima Imao alive?!" The leader added that as long as Li Jin didn't say anything, it would be fine.

"That's right." The political commissar felt relieved after hearing that.

"Send him a telegram and tell him to follow the plan!" the leader ordered the telegraph operator.

He agreed to carry out the plan.

"At the end of the day, matters of war should be handed over to the people who know the terrain best. If you try to interfere in the command without understanding the terrain, you will only cause trouble," the chief said with a smile.

That's why he let Li Jin do all the work!

"Well said." The political commissar also nodded in agreement. For example, changing generals in the middle of a battle is a taboo in military strategy.

…………

Li Jin also breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the chief's telegram. In fact, he also knew that if he could not come up with a complete battle plan, the chief might not let him take the risk.

Now that the leader has approved of his battle plan, he can finally let go and do his best.

"Captain, now we have nothing to worry about, right?!" Lu Changgong couldn't help but say after reading the telegram.

"Of course. The leader has agreed to my plan. There is nothing to worry about." Li Jin said slowly.

.........

Five days later, Chu Yunfei arrived at the headquarters and immediately went to Commander Zhang's office to find him.

"Master!" Chu Yunfei saluted Master Zhang as soon as he entered the room.

"Please sit down." Master Zhang motioned Chu Yunfei to sit down.

"Thank you, Master." Chu Yunfei came to the chair and sat down.

"Yun Fei, you came here in person because you want to cooperate with Mu Jin to fight the Japanese, right?!" Commander Zhang said. In fact, he had already learned about the situation from Fang Ligong.

"Yes, Commander, I want to meet the commander and discuss cooperation with him." Chu Yunfei nodded in response.

"It seems that Mu Jin not only wants to cooperate with you to fight the Japanese, but also wants to cooperate with our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army." Hearing this, Commander Zhang roughly guessed what was going on.

In fact, if Mu Jin was only cooperating with Chu Yunfei’s 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei would not come to the headquarters to negotiate at all!
All we can say now is that the battle that Mu Jin is going to fight is very big and requires the participation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The 358th Regiment is obviously not enough.

"Master, you are wise." Chu Yunfei said. He was not surprised that Master Zhang could guess this.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the commander." Commander Zhang stood up and took Chu Yunfei out of the office!
"Yun Fei, your appointment may be delayed for some reasons. You don't mind, right?!" Master Zhang said as they walked.

It would be better for him to take the initiative to find a good reason to tell Chu Yunfei about this matter. If Chu Yunfei finds out that he has not been appointed and then asks him about it, it will be easy for him to find out the problem.

Although he also hoped that Chu Yunfei could be promoted, he dared not make the decision on his own without Commander Yan's approval. Otherwise, he might be the one who would be suspected.

"It's okay. Since there is something wrong, don't worry. We can talk about it later." Chu Yunfei acted very calm, as if he didn't take the matter to heart.

In fact, he didn't care whether he was promoted or not. What he cared about was that Commander Yan didn't trust him. You know, he respected the other party very much.

"I'm very happy that you have this mentality. Don't worry, your position will definitely be promoted several levels in the future." Master Zhang made the guarantee.

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master."

The two of them soon arrived at Commander Yan's office.

"Yunfei, why are you here?!" Commander Yan smiled when he saw Chu Yunfei, as if an elder was looking at a younger person.

If Chu Yunfei hadn't known that Commander Yan didn't trust him, he would have really believed him!

"Commander, I came to see you and tell you that Mu Jin wants to cooperate with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army." Chu Yunfei replied.

"Talk about cooperation?! Xiao Zhang, you go down first. I'll have a good talk with Yun Fei." Commander Yan glanced at Commander Zhang and spoke.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang turned around and left, closing the door. "Yunfei, just say whatever you want to say." Commander Yan looked at Chu Yunfei standing in front of him.

In fact, he still thought highly of Chu Yunfei. The other party was very capable, but he was a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy and was that person's student.

If there was no such relationship, Chu Yunfei would be a brigade commander, even a division commander would be enough, but he was really worried. What if Chu Yunfei stabbed him in the back in the future? He still couldn't accept it.

"Commander, Mu Jin told me a few days ago..." Chu Yunfei began to tell Mu Jin's plan.

"In other words, the Japanese are really coming for us?! And he wants us not to retreat and to hold the Japanese back?!" Commander Yan said with a gloomy face.

He doesn't have many troops on his side, only about 70,000 in total, and the other troops cannot be mobilized now.

Moreover, even if he could be transferred, he would not do so. What if the Japanese found out and chose to fight a big battle with him? Wouldn't that mean he would lose all his resources?

He doesn't want to see such a huge loss.

"Yes, Commander. I think this plan is feasible. Besides, the one who is taking the real risk is Mu Jin.
If we retreat during the battle, Mu Jin will be the one in trouble. He is more worried about us.
But he still chose to cooperate with us, which shows that he still trusts us, so I think we can cooperate with Mu Jin!" Chu Yunfei nodded and then expressed his opinion.

Of course, Mu Jin's target has always been the matter of the 16th Division, but he did not say it out loud because he thought the commander might disagree after hearing it.

In other words, he was worried that the commander would tell others during the meeting.

"Yun Fei, you just said that he doesn't trust us, but what if he chooses to retreat and doesn't help us fight?!

We were fighting fiercely with the Japanese before, but he just walked away. We cannot bear the consequences, do you understand? ! "Commander Yan said earnestly.

This requires him to bet tens of thousands of people that Mu Jin will not sell them out. If he loses, he will suffer heavy losses.

"Commander, Mu Jin is definitely not that kind of person. Moreover, in this operation, Mu Jin has joined forces with the Eighth Route Army. If Mu Jin betrays us, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to escape.

Mu Jin would never do such a thing as offending two partners at the same time, so, Commander, it is absolutely okay to cooperate with Mu Jin.

If we can defeat the Japanese's new 20th Division through this cooperation, we will be truly famous.

By then, when the news gets out, we will be able to gain greater prestige and attract more people to join the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which is a good thing." Chu Yunfei said quickly.

The achievement of destroying an entire Japanese division was enough to shock the people of the entire country.

Commander Yan was obviously a little moved when he heard this. If he could really accomplish it, he would dare to slam the table when he went to meet with that person in the future.

If anyone dares to confront him, he will slap the person in the face to let the person know who is the most powerful!
But what if Mu Jin really sold him out, or the plan to destroy the Japanese division failed? !
Moreover, the Japanese's new 20th Division is attacking, and there is the 16th Division behind? This is also a problem. Although Mu Jin's troops are indeed powerful, he feels that this plan still has great risks!

"No, no, it's too risky!" Commander Yan shook his head repeatedly. He still didn't want to get involved. If the Japanese attacked, he would just lead his troops to retreat.

Although there may be some casualties during the retreat, it is much better than tragic death and injury.

"Commander, do you really not want to cooperate? This is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, there will never be another chance." Chu Yunfei continued to persuade.

He also didn't expect that Commander Yan would be so cautious. The risk of this plan was obviously very low, but Commander Yan still didn't dare to cooperate.

"Once the opportunity is missed, it is missed. Preserving strength is the most important thing." Commander Yan responded. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood!

"Hey... Commander, let me show you something!" Chu Yunfei heard this and finally sighed. He unbuttoned his pocket and took out a folded paper and handed it to Commander Yan.

"What is this?!" Commander Yan frowned and took it.

"This is a map Mu Jin gave me. It shows the garrison situation of our Shanxi Suiyuan Army here. He even marked how many people are deployed at each location," Chu Yunfei said slowly.

In fact, when he saw it, he was able to guess that it was a deployment because he did know that there were troops stationed in some places, so he told Mu Jin directly at that time.

This was also confirmed by Mu Jin.

"How is that possible?!" Commander Yan's pupils shrank after he opened the map to check it. Very few people knew about this defense map.

Chu Yunfei had no way of knowing how Mu Jin knew that.

"It seems that this map is real!" Chu Yunfei said. He was now completely sure that Mu Jin really had a thorough understanding of their defense situation!
"This, these were all drawn by Mu Jin's people, right?!" Commander Yan's voice trembled a little. He had never thought that Mu Jin was so powerful that he could even figure out the deployment of their Jinsui Army and even marked it clearly.

"Yes." Chu Yunfei nodded in acknowledgement.

"Is he giving you this to threaten me to cooperate?!" Commander Yan said gritting his teeth.

When he saw the map, he understood that Mu Jin was threatening him to cooperate.

"Mu Jin didn't mean that. He felt that the commander was a little hesitant, so he asked me to give you this map." Chu Yunfei said quickly.

"Bullshit! He was threatening me. He told me that if I didn't cooperate, he could draw our defense map once, and he could draw it a second time. He might even hand the map over to the Japanese!" Commander Yan slapped the table and cursed.

This is definitely what Mu Jin meant. Either cooperate, or he will leak the defense map in the future.

"Damn Mu Jin!" Commander Yan's face turned red and his neck became thick with anger.

"Commander, what happened?!" Commander Zhang pushed the door open and walked in hurriedly. How could he handle such a loud noise?

"Get out! This is none of your business!" Commander Yan cursed. He had a gloomy face and looked extremely scary.

"Yes!" Commander Zhang nodded and had to leave the office obediently and close the door. He was also wondering what Chu Yunfei had said to Commander Yan.

Why was Commander Yan so angry? He was also frightened when he saw Commander Yan's murderous look. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

"Commander, I think Mu Jin only wants to fight the devils, and he doesn't really mean to threaten you. Besides, destroying the devil division is indeed beneficial to us.
The key point is that although we are resisting the enemy's attack in the front, once Mu Jin and his men attack the enemy, they will suffer heavy casualties.

In this way, our losses will not be too great, and we will be able to kill so many devils.

So, regardless of whether we have this map or not, I think we should cooperate with the other party." Chu Yunfei said hurriedly, fearing that Commander Yan would be too excited and faint.
