Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Commander, as it stands now, the Japanese have not dropped poison gas bombs towards our positions. In other words, the Japanese's poison gas bombs are not aimed at us." Commander Zhang said slowly.

That's why Mu Jin didn't tell them, and didn't prepare any gas masks for them. But what is certain is that Chu Yunfei should have received a gas mask.

"Anyway, Mu Jin did hide this matter from me!" Commander Yan said after a moment of silence.

Although the Japanese did not drop poison gas bombs on their positions, Mu Jin did not remind them, which made him feel that it was still a bit excessive.

"In fact, in comparison, I feel that something is a little strange. The Japanese poison gas bombs are obviously not aimed at us. It seems that they have deliberately prepared them.

It was as if they knew Mu Jin and his men would come to attack them, so they specially prepared poison gas bombs!" Strategist Zhang began to analyze.

"You mean, the Japanese did this on purpose, and they actually have support behind them, and their purpose is to delay Mu Jin and the others?!" Commander Yan thought of something immediately after hearing this and said quickly.

"Yes, this is probably the biggest one. Although the 20th Division is a Class B Division, its combat effectiveness is not weak. They don't need to use poison gas bombs to attack us.

Besides, the purpose of the devils is to train soldiers, so there is no reason for them to use poison gas bombs on us. This has been a conspiracy of the devils from the beginning to the end! They are going after Mu Jin!" Commander Zhang finally figured it out.

Now only possibility can explain it.

"Damn it, that means the Japs have reinforcements behind them, and they want to surround us with the intention of annihilating this Northeast Army!" Commander Yan suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

The Japs actually set up such a big trap.

"Now it seems that it is probably true. The 20th Division is not sure whether it can deal with the attack of Mu Jin and others. Without reinforcements, the only thing waiting for them is death!" Commander Zhang continued.

Especially in the 20th Division, most of the soldiers are new recruits, so it is even more impossible for them to deal with Mu Jin's Northeastern Army. If they don't have a backup plan, the Japanese will be seeking death if they dare to do this.

"But the intelligence personnel reported that the 16th Division had left Taiyuan long ago. If they set a trap, it shouldn't be like this, right?!" Commander Yan frowned and said.

"This is where the Japs are so smart. They deliberately made us think that the 16th Division would not get involved, and then when the 20th Division was dispatched, they sent people to follow behind.

They always keep a distance to prevent our people from discovering their whereabouts, so that we can be fooled!" Zhang analyzed.

The Japs had already made preparations from the beginning.

"Aren't the Japanese reinforcements on the way now?! Immediately send a telegram to the troops below, asking them to stop attacking the Japanese and prepare to retreat. At the same time, send a telegram to Chu Yunfei and others, asking them to prepare to retreat!" Commander Yan said decisively.

He didn't want his troops to be caught up by the 16th Division. If that happened, something serious might happen. As for giving Mu Jin a reminder, it was also a gesture of goodwill.

Tell the other person that although you threatened me, I still reminded you for the sake of the overall situation.

"Commander, maybe there's no need to let them retreat so quickly." Commander Zhang hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh?! Why?!" Commander Yan was puzzled. It was already so late. If they didn't retreat, would they have to wait for the Japanese to surround them?

"Commander, Mu Jin would have known the Japs' purpose, so he must have made preparations. He knew that the Japs were coming for him, but he still wanted to cooperate with us.

There is only one possibility, Mu Jin is also setting a trap for the Japanese." Master Zhang said slowly.

Judging from the fact that Mu Jin prepared a gas mask in advance, he knew the Japs' intentions, so Mu Jin must have other purposes.

"So what is he planning to do? He can't possibly be planning to attack the 16th Division, right? Unless he's been kicked in the head by a donkey." Commander Yan said.

"It shouldn't be that serious. I think Mu Jin should have sent people to deploy troops along the way to delay the speed of the enemy's support.

Then during this period, we will annihilate the 20th Division in one fell swoop!" said Zhang, Mu Jin's target should still be the 20th Division, but he made preparations to prevent the 16th Division from coming to support quickly.

"This guy is quite smart. The Japanese thought they had tricked Mu Jin, but Mu Jin had already discovered the Japanese's intentions and turned the tables on them, making them watch the 20th Division being annihilated.
I have to say, Mu Jin's move was simply murderous! This young man is amazing!" Commander Yan couldn't help but praise him.

The Japanese's conspiracies and tricks were nothing in front of Mu Jin. It seemed as if they were being led by the nose by Mu Jin. Mu Jin guessed every step of the Japanese.

"Yes, Mu Jin is not only good at training soldiers, but also good at calculating and making various plans. He is making a fool of the devil.

But why didn't he tell us the whole plan?! We are partners after all, it's not appropriate to do this." Zhang Shizuo also sighed.

He actually felt a little uncomfortable about Mu Jin hiding his plan from them. It was ok that he threatened them to cooperate before, but now he even refused to tell them the specific plan. This was too much.

"Perhaps, it's not that he doesn't want to tell, but he knows that there are spies among us and he's worried that they'll tell on us.
His plan could not be realized, so he did not tell us. "Commander Yan helped Mu Jin find an excuse, and he also thought so.

"That's right. It was he who reminded us that there was a spy among us. Naturally, he didn't dare to reveal the whole plan." Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang nodded, thinking that what Commander Yan said made sense.

Once the spy informs, the Japanese will either cancel the plan or set another trap. In short, they want to kill Mu Jin and his men.

"Send a telegram to Chu Yunfei now and tell them that the Japanese reinforcements must be on the way." Commander Yan said.

"Commander, isn't this all within Mu Jin's expectations? There's no need to explain it specifically." Commander Zhang became puzzled.

"You don't understand. I deliberately told Mu Jin that I saw through the Japanese's plan and asked them to stop their actions and retreat. This was to remind him to be more considerate of us in the future and not always treat us as little Japanese!" Commander Yan explained.

The main purpose was to let Mu Jin know that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army should not have conflicts with him, and he should stop thinking about messing with them in the future.

Although Mu Jin brought them a lot of credit while bullying them, it was still passive. What if they were really cheated in the future?

"I understand. I'll have someone send the telegram right away!" After hearing this, Master Zhang hurried to do it.

Not long after, he came back.

"Commander, the telegram has been sent."

"Yeah." Commander Yan nodded.

"If a talent like Mu Jin could come to our Jinsui Army, it would be a great help, especially since he and that guy don't get along.
Because of selfishness, he let such a capable young man leave his unit. He really didn't do a good job. "Master Zhang sighed. "That's not true. If he was still in the unit, he probably wouldn't be able to exert his abilities. After he left, without someone to restrain them, they would be even more powerful.
In such a short time, such a powerful force has been assembled." Commander Yan said.

Regarding this matter, it can only be said that they complement each other. Of course, for Mu Jin, it is of great benefit.

"The commander is right." Commander Zhang nodded.

.........

On the other side, Chu Yunfei received a telegram.

"Commander, what did the commander say?!" Fang Ligong asked. At this critical juncture, the commander wouldn't want them to abandon Xu Qingfeng and the others and retreat directly, right?

"The commander said that the Japanese reinforcements may be on the way and may arrive soon. Let us retreat and remind Mu Jin and others to retreat." Chu Yunfei said the contents of the telegram.

"What?! The Japanese have reinforcements?! Is this true?" Fang Ligong was stunned when he heard this, unable to believe it.

"I'm not sure, but the commander should have noticed something, so he made a guess." Chu Yunfei shook his head. In fact, he had known this for a long time, but he couldn't say it out.

"Then let's retreat quickly. If we are surrounded by the Japanese 16th Division, we will suffer heavy casualties even with the Northeast Army." Fang Ligong immediately became a little anxious.

"Let's go find Xu Qingfeng and talk about the situation first." Chu Yunfei did not rush to issue the retreat order, but instead planned to find Xu Qingfeng first.

Soon, they found Xu Qingfeng and told him what happened.

"We have known for a long time that the Japanese reinforcements were coming, so we made preparations. The Japanese reinforcements will not arrive so quickly, so you can rest assured." Xu Qingfeng explained.

He was also cooperating with Chu Yunfei in acting. After all, Chu Yunfei was the only person in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army who knew the truth. It was impossible for him to expose Chu Yunfei and make him feared.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Fang Ligong said unhappily. He was almost scared to death just now. No wonder he always felt that something was wrong from the beginning to the end.

Mu Jin and his men knew that the Japanese had poison gas bombs so they prepared gas masks in advance. The Japanese side was also a little puzzled. Why would they bring poison gas bombs when they were training? Is there any point in training?

Therefore, this was a conspiracy of the Japanese, and Mu Jin also saw through it. He took advantage of the Japanese's trick and made the Japanese suffer the consequences.

"Even if I told you earlier, you wouldn't be able to spare any help, so I didn't bother to tell you." Xu Qingfeng responded.

"No, then we also have the right to know." Fang Ligong was furious.

"This matter is our problem, but we are mainly worried about the information leaking. Otherwise, if the Japanese get to know about it, how can they act according to the plan?" Xu Qingfeng explained again.

"That's better." Fang Ligong felt much more comfortable, but he felt that something was wrong.

"Okay, okay, don't be in a hurry. Kill a few more Japanese soldiers and we will retreat soon." Xu Qingfeng said. Now they just need to wait for the news from Li Jin and then they can retreat.

"Okay, next time if this happens you can tell us secretly and no one will tell it to others," said Fang Ligong.

Only then did Chu Yunfei take Fang Ligong away.

"Commander, Mu Jin and the others don't trust us!" Fang Ligong reacted and realized that what Xu Qingfeng just said was that he didn't trust them.

"It's not that they don't trust us, but they don't trust some of the officers above them." Chu Yunfei explained. Some of the officers might have been bribed by the Japanese!

"You mean, some senior military officers have become Japanese spies? What conditions did the Japanese offer them?" Fang Ligong became angry when he heard this.

He couldn't understand how those high-ranking military officers could be bribed by the Japanese. You know, it's not easy to be an officer at the level of a division commander. They have both people and money.

How could he be bribed by the devils? He really couldn't understand this. Why would he surrender to the devils?
"Who knows? Maybe they think we can't defeat the Japanese, so they want to find a way out in advance so that they won't be left with no way out in the future." Chu Yunfei also sighed.

He despised this kind of people the most. They had no sense of national justice and only had their own interests in their minds. They were really not worthy of being Chinese.

"So, those traitors who work for the Japanese probably think the same way." Fang Ligong was also a little helpless.

If it weren't for these traitors, it would have been impossible for the Japanese to occupy and manage so many counties.

"Yeah." Chu Yunfei nodded.

.........

At this time, the troops of the 16th Division had already begun to rush towards these three directions. The commanders leading the teams were all a little excited, thinking that they could finally make a great contribution.

As for Matsushita Renkyu, he was also waiting, glancing at his watch from time to time. It would be less than two hours before the 16th Division arrived.

"Division Commander, it's been half an hour since we dropped the poison gas bombs, and the enemy's attack is not that intense anymore. Maybe it has already taken effect.
Should we organize another counterattack? "The Japanese brigade commander came to him and suggested.

The poison gas may not have taken effect so quickly before, but now, the enemy's attack is obviously not as fierce as before, which must be due to the influence of the poison gas. If we counterattack now, we may cause heavy casualties to the enemy.

"No, no, no, don't worry. The enemy is much stronger than we thought. Their physique is also stronger than our soldiers. It may take a little longer for this poison gas to take effect!" Matsushita shook his head repeatedly.

Although the lethality of poison gas bombs is very strong, it is probably related to a person's physique. It will take effect faster on a person with a weak physique, but not so quickly on a person with a strong physique.

This Northeast Army is obviously a group of people with stronger bodies, so we must not be careless.

"The most important thing for us now is to stop the enemy's attack and delay time for the 16th Division, rather than thinking about how to quickly eliminate the enemy!" Matsushita Renkyu continued!
Sometimes, it wasn't that he didn't want to counterattack, but he was a little scared by the Northeast Army. After all, they suffered heavy casualties in such a short period of time. What if they charged again and the enemy still had the ability to fight? !
And then if we inflict heavy damage on them, they will be annihilated by the enemy without even having to wait for the 16th Division to arrive!
