Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Okay." Director Liu nodded quickly.

Li Jin then turned around and left the arsenal. As soon as he left the arsenal, he saw Xu Qingfeng coming towards him.

"What's going on?!" Li Jin asked. If he guessed correctly, the Japanese should have taken action.

"Captain, the Japanese 20th Division has been dispatched and is heading towards the Jinsui Army's base.
Moreover, the 16th Division left for other counties two days ago, and it seems that they have no intention of supporting the 20th Division." Xu Qingfeng told the news.

"It's just a trick. The devil did it on purpose. He wanted us to know.
This time, there are only 20 divisions attacking the Jinsui Army's base. They want us to attack the 20th division.

In this way, they can take advantage of the opportunity to surround us. "Li Jin immediately made a judgment that the Japs were trying to lure them into a trap and even deliberately created a false impression.

"I thought so too. Everything is as expected." Xu Qingfeng also smiled.

"That's perfect. When the time comes, the Japanese will find out that the New 1st Regiment is gone. Then they will be more certain that we are going to attack the 20th Division." Li Jin raised the corners of his mouth.

The Japs' actions were basically carried out according to his plan, and he believed that this operation would be a great success.

"Yes, according to the advancing speed of the 20th Division, it will take about ten days to reach the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We still have time." Xu Qingfeng said that they had plenty of time to prepare.

"The commander and his men will be here soon. You leave two thousand soldiers to carry the gas masks, and I will lead the others to meet up with them." Li Jin gave the order immediately.

They have to deploy in advance.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

That afternoon, Li Jin led his men to leave the base and sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei to inform him of the situation of the Japanese.

.........

In Fucheng, Chu Yunfei also received a telegram from Li Jin. He immediately called Master Zhang to report.

"What?! The Japanese have already set off?! Are you sure?!" Commander Zhang's shocked voice came from the phone.

"Yes, that's what the telegram sent by Li Jin said. So, Commander, are you ready?!" Chu Yunfei asked.

"Well, everything is ready. You should also be careful as the Japanese may still attack you." Commander Zhang reminded.

When agreeing to cooperate with Mu Jin and others, the commander gave the order to make preparations. Now we just have to wait for the Japanese to arrive and have a big fight with them.

"Master, don't worry. I have already sent people to keep an eye on it. There won't be any problem." Chu Yunfei responded.

Moreover, Mu Jin will send people to join forces with them, so he is not afraid that the Japanese will come to find him. If the other party dares to come to find him, the Japanese will be the ones who die.

"That's fine. The information collected about Mu Jin is really fast. Our intelligence personnel haven't sent back any news yet. I don't know what they are doing!" Commander Zhang sounded somewhat dissatisfied with the intelligence personnel.

There is no way. Compared with Mu Jin's side, their intelligence personnel are not just a little bit inferior, but are not on the same level at all. No wonder Mu Jin was able to draw the defense map here.

"The intelligence personnel over there also have to consider a lot of things. If they reply rashly, they will easily be discovered by the Japanese." Chu Yunfei spoke up for help.

After all, Taiyuan is the Japanese's base camp here. If we are not careful, we will be discovered by the Japanese. It would be bad if the Japanese take action and catch people.

"You're right. After all, we can't demand too much from them." Commander Zhang also understood this, but who doesn't want his intelligence personnel to be more powerful?

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll go report this matter to the commander first." Commander Zhang hung up the phone.

Chu Yunfei also called a meeting of the officers. He told them everything that had happened. After a brief discussion, Chu Yunfei dismissed everyone.

Of course, we still made all the necessary preparations.

.........

Jinsui Army Headquarters.

Commander Zhang came to Commander Yan's office and told him the news of the Japanese invasion.

"The Japanese only sent 20 divisions this time, right?!" Commander Yan said.

"Yes, according to what Mu Jin said, the 20th Division has already set off. As for the 16th Division, it had already been dispatched to take over other counties. It has no intention of helping the 20th Division to maintain order." Commander Zhang nodded.

"Haha, great! If the 16th Division wasn't in the rear, we could fight the Japanese head-on. With Mu Jin and the New 1st Independent Regiment,

This time, we can really defeat the 20th Division, or even eat up the enemy!" Commander Yan was also very happy after hearing this.

Before, he was somewhat worried that the 16th Division would follow behind the 20th Division. In this case, if they cooperated with Mu Jin, they would be seeking death.

"I guess the Japanese thought that Mu Jin had a bad relationship with us, so they let the 20th Division attack us without any worries!" Commander Zhang analyzed.

If the Japanese knew that Mu Jin would help, they would definitely not be so confident.

"What do you mean you think the relationship is bad? Our relationship with Mu Jin has never been good. He has been trying to trick us time and time again!" Commander Yan said unhappily.

When did they ever have a good relationship with Mu Jin? Even when they wanted to cooperate to fight the Japanese, the other party had to pay them money before they could cooperate, otherwise they would not cooperate. On the other hand, the other party asked them to cooperate, but they could not ask for money. It was a huge loss.

"Commander, in fact, we did gain the advantage through several collaborations. We were just a little passive." Commander Zhang said after thinking for a while.

They didn't suffer a complete loss. Although they spent money, Mu Jin and his team really tried their best and didn't let them down.

"Humph, if I didn't think I could get some benefits from it, I would ignore him." Commander Yan snorted coldly. He was just a small officer, but he had to cooperate passively several times.

It wasn't all passive cooperation. At least they took the initiative to propose attacking Fucheng, with the original intention of building good relations with Mu Jin.

But it seemed to have no effect. The other party actually had a good relationship with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, but that was just the way it was for them.

.........

Three days later, Li Jin and his men met up with Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others.

"Captain, Captain Kong!" Li Jin immediately saluted the two of them.

"Damn, you are awesome, you have become the regiment leader, should I call you Li?" Kong Jie joked. Seeing Li Jin also become the regiment leader, he was also filled with emotion. Two years ago, when he was working with Li Jin, he was still a small company commander, and now he has been promoted to regiment leader in the blink of an eye.

"Captain Kong, you should just call me Li Jin. We are all family, so don't worry about so many things." Li Jin said with a smile.

"That's right, Lao Kong, you are such a dishonest boy. How could you play such a joke on Li Jin?" Li Yunlong also began to lecture seriously.

When Li Jin was promoted to the head of the group, this guy had teased Li Jin in the same way, but he was not happy about Kong Jie's teasing.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, my fault." Kong Jie was too lazy to argue with Li Yunlong.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting." Li Jin said, not wanting to waste time.

Soon, the political commissars, regimental commanders, and chiefs of staff of the three regiments all gathered in the makeshift tent.

"Look, this is the Jinsui Army's garrison map. The Japanese will most likely attack in three directions, and the 16th Division will always be half a day's distance from the 20th Division, or four or five hours away.
So, this also gave us an opportunity.
At that time, Captain Kong, you will be responsible for leading the independent regiment to attack the Japanese in the northwest. I will dispatch three companies of troops to help. Is there any problem? ” Li Jin began to make a plan.

The reason why the special operations company was sent to help was to make the Japanese believe that they had already taken action against the 20th Division.

Three companies, with a total of more than 700 soldiers, were able to make the Japanese believe that most of those who attacked them were from the Northeast Army and the Independent Regiment.

In this case, after learning the news, Nakajima Imago would definitely order the 16th Division to rush to the 20th Division without stopping.

In this way, there would not be too many soldiers guarding Nakajima Imao who was commanding in the rear, and they could catch Nakajima Imao off guard.

"No problem!" Kong Jie nodded quickly in agreement.

"Commander, you are responsible for attacking the Japanese in the west. I will also transfer three companies of troops to assist you in the battle." Li Jin continued to give orders.

"Okay." Li Yunlong nodded in agreement. Now that Li Jin was in command, he would not say too much.

"Wait, isn't there another direction? Are you planning to send the special forces to attack? Then you won't have many troops left.

There is at least a regiment of soldiers protecting Nakajima Imao, can you defeat him? " Li Yunlong said hurriedly.

The other two directions are under the responsibility of the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment, so what about the remaining direction?

"Captain, have you forgotten about Chu Yunfei's regiment? I can just transfer three more companies and add Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment." Li Jin said with a smile!

Chu Yunfei's group is still very useful, otherwise Li Jin would not have gone to meet Chu Yunfei in person to discuss cooperation with him.

"Kid, I didn't expect that Chu Yunfei was also included. Then I will have no problem!" Li Yunlong felt much more relieved after hearing this.

"In fact, the Japanese will most likely attack Fucheng first, so I sent people there in advance to help Chu Yunfei.
At the same time, we can also let the Japanese know that we really intend to attack the 20th Division." Li Jin said slowly.

How could he dare to set up traps without arranging everything? In short, no matter what the Japanese choose, the ending will be death.

"Well, when it comes to dealing with evil spirits, you're the best." Li Yunlong couldn't help but praise him.

"Your plan is really a chain of traps. If it were someone else, they would probably be fooled." Kong Jie couldn't help but admire him.

Li Jin's battle plan has almost no flaws. The only flaw may be that Nakajima Imao discovered that something was wrong and escaped early.

If that were the case, Li Jin's goal of capturing Nakajima Imao alive would have failed.

"Thank you for the compliment. I still can't be careless." Li Jin was not overwhelmed by the praise and remained vigilant.

"What I'm more curious about is, where did you get this Shanxi-Suiyuan Army defense map? It can't be that Commander Yan gave it to you? I'm wondering if you had someone steal it?" Kong Jie said. He just wanted to ask, but Li Jin directly took out the map, which scared him.

"Captain Kong, what do you mean by stealing? This was drawn by my intelligence personnel who spent a lot of time. In order to get the approval of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, I also asked Chu Yunfei to give a copy to Commander Yan!" Li Jin replied.

If it weren't for this map, Commander Yan, with his cautious character, would never agree to confront the Japanese head-on.

"You kid, you handed this map to Commander Yan?!" Kong Jie's eyes widened when he heard this. What's the difference between this and threatening the other party in person.

Will you cooperate or not? ! If you don't cooperate, I will continue to draw the defense map next time, or even hand it over to the Japanese. Although Li Jin is unlikely to hand it over, does Commander Yan dare to bet? !
When it comes to life and property, I definitely don’t dare to gamble, so I can only cooperate obediently.

"Damn it, no wonder the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army agreed so readily. It turns out you threatened them!" Li Yunlong couldn't help laughing.

"You are probably the first young person who dares to threaten him like this. If it were someone else, he would probably be chopped into meat paste." Li Wenying also said.

He was indeed right. Apart from Li Jin, few people dared to threaten Commander Yan. That would be like an old man eating arsenic because he thought his life was too long.

"Let alone young people, among the middle-aged people, except for those few, I guess no one dares to threaten us like this." Li Yunlong continued.

"Li Jin, this has completely offended Commander Yan. Will he sell us out at the critical moment?!" Zhao Gang said with a frown.

Faced with such a threat, although the other side would compromise, they might sell them out and allow the Japanese to attack them.

If we had known that these three regiments could attack the 20th Division, that would have been on the premise that the Japanese and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had started fighting.

Once the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suddenly retreated, they would have to face many Japanese devils, and by then, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

"Don't worry, he won't dare to do that. Unless the Japs can destroy me, he will never dare to sell us out!" Li Jin said with a murderous look on his face.

The other party wanted to sell them out on the premise that they would be killed by the Japanese in the process of being sold, but Commander Yan was very clear about their combat effectiveness.

With the strength of the Japs, it is impossible to destroy them, and they can't even inflict heavy damage on them, so they won't do such a thing.

"Besides, even if he sells us out, he must have a chance. Once you find that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army shows signs of retreat, just choose to withdraw. By then, the Japanese will not be chasing us, but the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!" Li Jin continued, how can we not be on guard.

For the Japs, if they rashly pursued them, they might fall into a trap, but if they pursued the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the possibility of falling into a trap would be low.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that the Japanese dare not chase anyone. After all, at the beginning of the cooperation, both sides suddenly withdrew, and it would be a problem to chase anyone, so the probability of not chasing is higher.
