Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Haha, damn, this heavy artillery looks so damn big!" Li Yunlong looked at the two heavy howitzers in front of him and laughed happily.

"Hurry, look around to see if there are any shells. I want to fire a few shots at the Japanese to test their power!" Li Yunlong urged immediately.

He had seen the power of this heavy howitzer during the day. One shell could create a huge crater and flatten the position. It was very powerful.

"Commander, we didn't find any shells!" a soldier came to report.

"Hey, damn it, the Japanese really took away all the artillery shells." Li Yunlong was so angry. Although he had guessed it before, he still felt uncomfortable when it really happened.

"Old Li, don't worry about these cannons, just blow up these two!" Zhao Gang came over and said.

"What exploded?! Such a good cannon exploded like this?!" Li Yunlong felt reluctant when he heard it.

He had already seen the power of these two cannons, so he really didn't want to blow them up like this.

"Old Li! These two cannons are too big, we have no way of taking them away. Besides, our goal is to buy time for Li Jin. If we take these two cannons, once the Japanese from the 16th Division catch up to us, we will have nowhere to escape!" Zhao Gang persuaded earnestly!

In fact, he didn't want it to blow up, but with their current capabilities, there was no way they could take the howitzer away.

"Okay! Then blow them up!" Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and immediately ordered his men to start placing explosive packs on the two howitzers.

Because they were worried that they wouldn't be able to be destroyed, they even placed several more. Anyway, they couldn't use them, and they couldn't let the Japanese use them either.

"Wait, don't blow it up so quickly, otherwise the Japanese will get suspicious!" Zhao Gang said hurriedly. If they blow up the howitzer now, the Japanese will understand that they have other purposes.

Once the Japanese guessed that their target was not the 20th Division, they would probably think that they were going for the commander of the 16th Division.

.........

The Japanese brigade commander guarding here sneered at the enemy's attack. Although they were attacked from both sides by the enemy, the 16th Division had also arrived.

As long as they can hold on for four hours, the 16th Division will arrive, and by then, the enemy will be in trouble. Although he doesn't think their brigade can withstand the enemy's attack, he is confident that they can hold on for four hours.

"Brigade Commander, do we really not have to worry about our two heavy howitzers?" The Japanese regiment commander couldn't help but ask.

That's a heavy artillery, extremely expensive to make, and very intimidating. If we give it to the enemy like this, what if it gets blown up? !

"Don't worry about the two heavy artillery pieces. The enemy has no shells and will definitely think about seizing them." The Japanese brigade commander said confidently.

"I'm worried. What if the enemy blows up the artillery? The loss would be too serious." The Japanese regiment commander was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, the enemy probably thinks we are easy prey now, how could they blow up the cannon? That would be like taking off your pants to fart, isn't it a waste of time?!" said the Japanese brigade commander.

He believed that the enemy was well aware of the value of the heavy artillery and would not easily blow it up, so there was no need to worry too much about the two heavy artillery pieces.

"Besides, with the 16th Division coming over, they won't have time to blow up their heavy artillery, and they won't even have time to escape." The Japanese brigade commander continued with a smile.

Let's make those enemies happy for a while now, and they will counterattack later.

"It seems so." The Japanese regiment commander nodded. If the enemy blew up the heavy artillery now, it would only mean that the enemy's target was not their 20th Division.

"Okay, go and command the battle. The enemy's attack is still fierce. Try not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy. We, the new recruits, are no match for the Northeast Army." The Japanese brigade commander waved his hand!

He also had to admit that only when fighting could he feel the fighting power of the Northeast Army, which was truly terrifying.

In less than a few minutes, dozens of people were injured or killed, which was unimaginable before.

However, judging from the current situation, the enemy did not dare to charge too fiercely, and was obviously afraid of them. Fortunately, they still had artillery and could counterattack. The two howitzers were just deliberately captured by the enemy.

Of course, their artillery positions were also attacked by the enemy, but the problem was not big. Even if the artillery positions were captured by the enemy, the enemy had no artillery shells.

As long as they can slowly consume the enemy's strength, fight a positional war, and a defensive war, he is still very confident.

.........

At the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters, Commander Yan heard fierce gunfire coming from three directions and became a little restless for a moment.

"Commander, the Northeastern Army has already taken action. It looks like they will be able to eliminate the 20th Division as soon as day breaks." Commander Zhang smiled.

These 20 divisions have more than 20,000 men, and although most of them are new recruits, it is still a division. If they can be annihilated, it will be a great achievement.

"It won't be that fast to eliminate a division in one night. I think it should be done by noon." Commander Yan said.

Although he knew that the Northeast Army was very strong, it was still difficult to eliminate so many Japanese devils in one night.

"Commander, that's right!" Commander Zhang nodded.

"By the way, did the captured spy confess?!" Commander Yan changed the subject. In fact, he had been keeping an eye on him for a long time, and she really caught a big fish.

A division commander was actually instigated by the Japanese to defect and even provided intelligence to them, which almost made him angry to death. Fortunately, he did not let the other party pass the intelligence out this time.

"He confessed. He gave out some spies, but I think, not necessarily all of them." Commander Zhang said with a serious expression.

He believed that there were still people in the dark, but they had not been caught yet. Of course, what was certain now was that there were no Japanese spies at higher levels.

Otherwise things would not be so simple, because the higher-ups all know about the cooperation, so if the Japanese knew about it, something bad would definitely happen.

"Well, why did he surrender to the Japanese?!" Commander Yan nodded. He didn't care much about some small matters, but the fact that the other party surrendered to the enemy was what he cared about most.

"He said that he felt we could not defeat the Japanese and that they would occupy the entire country in the future. He was trying to find a way out for himself, just like that big traitor." After hearing this, Commander Zhang hesitated but still said it out loud.

"Damn it, doesn't he have any patriotism at all! He actually chose to surrender to the enemy! It's not certain who will win yet, but he's so eager to lick the enemy's boots! Shoot him immediately after the war!" Commander Yan was furious when he heard this.

Although he was not particularly active in fighting the Japanese, he never thought of surrendering to them. However, such a traitor appeared in his own army. And his military rank was not low.

"Tell me, have I treated him unfairly? I never owed him the military pay, did I? But this bastard actually chose to surrender to the Japs. Fuck him!" Commander Yan almost suffocated as he spoke more and more.

"Commander, don't be angry with this kind of person. He is too selfish. It's a good thing that he has been caught now. Otherwise, if he gets promoted to a higher position in the future, the impact will be even greater." Commander Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help Commander Yan calm down and told him to think positively.

If we catch this person in advance, he won't be able to harm more people in the future. It's really a good thing to think about it this way.

As for what Commander Yan said about giving benefits to the other party, a selfish person would just think it is his due and would not feel grateful, and might even feel that he gave too little.

Just like the number one traitor back then, he was a high-ranking official in the National Army and had reached the pinnacle of power, but he also chose to surrender to the Japanese.

They felt that there was no way China could ever defeat the Japanese, and they talked about saving the country in a roundabout way. The result was that they set up the puppet state of Manchukuo, where the people were bullied, insulted, and even killed by the Japanese.

"Well, you're right. It's really not worth getting angry at such a beast." Commander Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Speaking of which, it is all thanks to Chu Yunfei's reminder, otherwise, we really would not be able to catch the enemy!" said Commander Zhang. Chu Yunfei had talked to him about this when he came to the headquarters.

In fact, he didn't quite believe it at the time, but he still chose to ask someone to investigate secretly, and as a result, he really found the suspicious person.

"Yunfei did a good job on this." Commander Yan also praised Chu Yunfei.

"After the war, do you want to meet Mu Jin again?" asked Master Zhang.

"Of course I have to meet him. I want to see how this kid is going to explain to me!" Commander Yan's face darkened. He had to get an explanation from Mu Jin since he was threatened by him. Otherwise, he would lose face and it would be difficult for him to cooperate with him in the future.

"Prepare the car immediately. I'm going to the front-line operations room!" Commander Yan said. This battle was of great importance and he felt that he should go to the front line to supervise the battle.

"Commander, the front line is too dangerous. The Japanese need heavy howitzers, one shot can hit more than 20 miles away. The operations room is not safe either!" Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang hurriedly tried to persuade them.

"Hmph, I'm the kind of person who's afraid of death. Hurry up and prepare the car!" Commander Yan snorted coldly.

"Commander, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that if something happens to you, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will be leaderless. Who do you think can shoulder this heavy responsibility?!
Moreover, the most important thing is that the troops might be split up!" Commander Zhang said, his expression becoming serious.

"They dare!!" Commander Yan became angry when he heard it.

"Commander, if you are here, they will not dare to do anything. But if you are not here, they will not submit to each other. Do you think they will fight?

The devils would definitely be happy to see this happen. They just need to win them over, and maybe someone will run to cooperate with the devils. "Master Zhang continued.

What he said was all true. When Commander Yan was in power, he was able to control the officers under him. But once he was gone, problems became serious.

After all, who doesn’t want to climb up?! We are all the same, why should you be the one to take the top?!
Commander Yan fell silent immediately, it seemed that what he said was true.

"Okay, I won't go over now, but when the battle is almost over, I will go over to take a look." Commander Yan nodded and said.

"Okay!" Commander Zhang also agreed. The battle was almost over and the Japanese had no power to counterattack. The commander's safety would be guaranteed, so there was no big problem.

"Commander, it's getting late. Why don't you take a rest? I'll just keep an eye on it here. If anything happens, I'll wake you up immediately." Commander Zhang said!

Commander Yan is not in good health and needs more rest.

"Okay, I'll take a nap for an hour and then wake me up."

"Yes."

.........

Taiyuan, Itaheng Seishiro looked at the telegram in his hand, and he was a little excited. He had always been troubled by the Northeast Army. Could he really annihilate the enemy this time? !

It seems that there is no need for the commander to send Yamamoto's special forces over, they can destroy the enemy.

As long as he could destroy this Northeastern Army, he would not only not have to commit suicide, but he could even make a great contribution.

But for some reason, he always felt that things were going too smoothly. Would there be any problems? !

Did the commander of the Northeast Army really fall for it? However, after thinking about it, he felt that he was overthinking it. They had made many preparations for this.

The Northeast Army would never have thought that this was a trap. Moreover, the enemy had already begun a fierce attack on the 20th Division, which meant that the enemy was targeting the 20th Division.

"It shouldn't be a problem!" Itagaki Seishiro nodded.

"Division commander, what's no problem?!" asked the Japanese brigade commander in front of him. Ever since he took the telegram back, the division commander fell into deep thought, sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning.

"It's okay." Itaheng Seishiro shook his head and didn't say what he was thinking!
"Division commander, the plan seems to be going smoothly. There will be no more Northeast Army here in the future!" The Japanese brigade commander laughed. He had already thought about how to celebrate.

After all, the pressure from this Northeastern Army was too great for him. He was always worried that one day the other side would suddenly attack the place where he was defending, which would be disastrous for him.

"Don't be happy too soon. This Northeastern Army is not easy to deal with. Even if we surround them, the probability of annihilating them completely is probably not high." Itaige Seishirō said slowly.

He never underestimated the Northeast Army from the beginning to the end. Even though he had surrounded the enemy, he was not absolutely sure that he could annihilate them.

"Even if we inflict heavy damage on them, that's fine. As long as we inflict heavy damage on them this time, it will be more difficult for them to develop again in the future," said the commander of the Japanese brigade.

If you want to train soldiers to such an advanced level, it will take some time to do so.

"Well, this is also my goal. Of course, it would be best if we can annihilate them." Itagaki Seishirō said. In his heart, he actually hoped to destroy the Northeast Army more.
