Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

“Hahahaha…” The nearby soldiers couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon hearing this, full of mockery towards Nakajima Imao.

"Baga! You are not allowed to insult the empire!!!" Nakajima Imao was furious and attacked Li Jin with a knife. His attack became disorganized and he could not hurt Li Jin at all.

Instead, he was kicked by Li Jin and flew two meters away. The sword in his hand flew out without him being able to hold it. He fell heavily to the ground and almost died.

"You can't even hold a sword. How can you talk about the spirit of Bushido!" Li Jin stepped forward and stepped heavily on Nakajima Imao's chest. He stepped so hard that Nakajima Imao showed a painful expression.

"Don't insult me!" Nakajima Imao was still being stubborn. He grabbed Li Jin's ankle and tried to move it away, but Li Jin's foot seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and it made him breathless.

Seeing that Nakajima Imao was about to die, Li Jin raised his foot. He didn't want to let the other party die like this, as that would be too easy for him.

Nakajima Imago took big gulps and greedily breathed in the fresh air.

"Catch him! Take off his clothes!" Li Jin gave an order, and several soldiers quickly stepped forward with ropes.

"Baga, what are you doing! I'm a prisoner now, you are abusing a prisoner!!" Nakajima Imao struggled desperately and stripped him of his clothes, which was more painful than killing him.

But he had just consumed a lot of physical energy fighting with Li Jin, and was beaten up by Li Jin, so how could he break free?

The soldiers quickly stripped him naked, tied him up, stuffed cotton cloth into his mouth, and tied a rope around his head, tightening his mouth so that he could not make any sound.

There was malice in Nakajima Imao's eyes and he made a humming sound with his mouth. Although he couldn't say it out loud, he could feel that the other party was cursing very dirty.

But Li Jin didn't bother with all that. He quickly asked someone to put the uniform on a Japanese soldier whose face was completely blown up and whose body shape was similar to Nakajima Imao.

In order to make it more realistic, he had the uniforms tattered so that they looked like they had really been bombed.

When Nakajima Imao saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded. What was the other party doing? !

Could it be that he was pretending to be dead so as to avoid being chased by the pursuers? !
Yes, after his death, the officers of the 16th Division would no longer pursue him, but if he was captured, the officers of the 16th Division would definitely chase him desperately to rescue him.

I didn't expect the enemy to have guessed this. Is he still human?! He even considered such a minute detail.

If the other side really grows faster in the future and has more powerful soldiers, it will not be a good thing for the empire.

Thinking of this, Nakajima Imao couldn't help but struggle and wanted to escape, but how could he possibly run away.

"Damn you, be quiet!" The soldier who caught Nakajima Imao punched him in the stomach with his backhand. The pain made him break out in a cold sweat and his body bent like a shrimp.

"Commander, the battlefield has been cleaned up and the sacrificed soldiers have been brought back." Liu Changshun came to Li Jin to report.

"Retreat!" Li Jin nodded and ordered a retreat!

The soldiers of the special operations regiment acted quickly and soon left with the spoils. The camp was left with only corpses on the ground and collapsed tents, which looked extremely miserable.

.........

On the other side, after receiving the telegram from Nakajima Imao, Matsushita Renkyu was stunned and trembling all over. Even the hand holding the telegram was shaking.

"Division Commander, what happened? Could it be that the plan has been discovered by the enemy and reinforcements cannot arrive in a short time?" The Japanese regiment commander asked when he saw Matsushita Renkyu's expression.

If this is true, then their plan will completely fail, and the 20th Division will face destruction.

"It won't be us who are in trouble now," said Matsushita Renkyu after taking a deep breath.

"Who is that?!" The Japanese regiment commander was puzzled. Since they were not the ones in trouble, who else could it be? It couldn't be the 16th Division, which was even more impossible.

"It was Division Commander Nakajima. His headquarters was attacked by the Northeastern Army! So, the enemy's original intention was not to attack us, but Division Commander Nakajima." Matsushita Renkyu told the story.

"What?! No, how is this possible! How could that Northeastern Army have so many people?!
Aren't they supposed to be attacking us? How could there be an extra troop to attack the headquarters of the 16th Division? "The Japanese commander couldn't believe it and thought it was absolutely impossible.

"Moreover, the enemy attacking us has several thousand people, plus the reserve troops. The Northeast Army will never have extra troops to attack the headquarters!" The Japanese regiment commander continued!

"What if the enemies attacking us are all of them? They don't have any so-called reserve troops at all. All we see are the entire enemies!" Matsushita Renkyu said slowly.

In their understanding, no matter whether it is the attacking or defending side, a reserve team will be kept in order to avoid sudden situations on the battlefield so that the reserve team can be ready to deal with them at any time!
But the enemy did not prepare any reserve troops at all. They did this on purpose to make them think that they had reserve troops and that all the members of the Northeast Army were attacking their 20th Division.

"Then, has Division Commander Nakajima sent all his men back for support? We might be in danger here too." The Japanese regiment commander swallowed nervously and said.

If this is the case, the 20th Division will probably be destroyed today. They will all die here today. It is really like the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
"Division Commander Nakajima did not send all the troops back to provide support, only a part of them. He was probably worried that if something happened to him, we would still be able to survive." Matsushita Renkyu said.

In fact, Nakajima Imao's approach was indeed the most correct, because the Northeast Army was definitely aiming to destroy the headquarters, and its success rate was very high.

"That's good, that's good. The losses are not maximized." The Japanese regiment commander finally breathed a sigh of relief. If General Nakajima Isono had transferred all his troops back for support, they would have been completely finished.

"The enemy's strength should not be underestimated." Matsushita Renkyu sighed. They originally came here to be hunters, but in the end they became the prey. It was really sad.

"It seems that we can't easily attack this unit in the future. We need to wait for the commander's special forces to come back and assist in the operation." said the Japanese regiment commander.

"Yeah." Matsushita Renkyu nodded. The loss they suffered this time was too great. Even if their 20th Division could survive, there wouldn't be too many people left. They suffered heavy losses this time.

It is estimated that no more than 6,000 soldiers will be able to return alive. Their division of more than 20,000 people has lost three quarters of its strength, which is considered useless. ………

Xu Qingfeng's attention was no longer on the battlefield. He was waiting for Li Jin's telegram. As long as Li Jin's telegram came, they could retreat!
Chu Yunfei also came over alone at this time. He took advantage of Fang Ligong's inattention and came over quietly!
"Captain Xu, what's the situation with Brother Mu? Is it settled?!" Chu Yunfei asked. He was actually a little anxious because the Japanese reinforcements would arrive in two hours at the latest. By then, they would be in some trouble.

"Captain Chu, don't worry, a telegram will arrive within five minutes at most!" Xu Qingfeng comforted him calmly.

Li Jin led most of the elite soldiers of the special operations regiment and carried a large number of heavy weapons to attack the Japanese command post guarded by a regiment. It would take at most ten minutes to complete the attack. It was almost ten minutes now!
"Yeah." Chu Yunfei nodded and felt relieved.

"Captain Chu, is it really okay if you don't tell your superiors the truth?!" Xu Qingfeng said with a smile. In the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, Chu Yunfei was the only one who knew the truth.

"What could possibly happen? I'll just pass the blame to you. I know nothing!" Chu Yunfei said calmly. He just had to deny it and not say anything.

"Of course, unless you sell me out, but you won't do that." Chu Yunfei changed the subject. He did this just to do his part for the people who died in the massacre.

Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people are still watching, so even if the truth is exposed later, he will not regret it at all.

"Captain Chu, I'm determined to make you my friend." Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. No wonder Li Jin valued Chu Yunfei so much.

There is indeed something about the other party. It has nothing to do with his stance. He just simply wants to avenge the people.

"It is my fortune to be able to make friends with Captain Xu." Chu Yunfei also responded that Xu Qingfeng's ability is also very strong and is not much worse than Mu Jin. Although the other party is not from Huangpu, he is very capable, just like Li Yunlong.

"I'll go back first. Tell me immediately if you have any news." After saying this, Chu Yunfei turned and left. It would be bad if Fang Ligong discovered the problem.

A few minutes passed quickly.

"The commander sent a telegram saying that he has already dealt with the situation and wants us to retreat immediately." Zhao Ming came over with a telegram to report.

"Well, give the order immediately and have the soldiers retreat. Remember to take the bodies of the fallen soldiers with them." Xu Qingfeng nodded and gave the order.

"Yes!" Zhao Ming left.

Xu Qingfeng also quickly found Chu Yunfei and told him what happened.

"What, your target has always been the headquarters of the 16th Division?!" Chu Yunfei said in pretended shock.

"Captain Xu, what you're doing is a bit too much! We are partners! And yet you don't even have the right to know the purpose of the mission?" Fang Ligong's voice was filled with anger.

He said that there were serious problems with the offense. With the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, how could it be that they could not advance into the Japanese positions for such a long time? Isn't this a joke?

Now it is confirmed that Xu Qingfeng was just stalling for time from the beginning to the end.

"This is our problem. We will explain it to you later! The most important thing now is to retreat!" Xu Qingfeng responded.

"Brother Ligong, let's retreat first!" Chu Yunfei did not waste time and immediately ordered the troops to retreat. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Commander Yan to notify them to retreat.

.........

In the Jinsui Army Headquarters.

"What does Mu Jin mean by this?! Let us be ready to retreat at any time?! Aren't they going to annihilate the 20th Division?!" Commander Yan frowned for a moment as he looked at the telegram sent by Chu Yunfei.

"Yeah, what's going on." Commander Zhang was also a little confused. They had just sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei to inform him that this might be a trap set by the Japanese, but Chu Yunfei quickly sent a telegram back, leaving him unable to react for a while.

"Could it be that Mu Jin and the others didn't guess that this was a trap set by the Japanese?! So that's why they said this when they received the news from us?!" Master Zhang continued.

"It shouldn't be. The telegram said that we should be ready to retreat at any time, but it didn't specify when. That is to say, Mu Jin must have other purposes." Commander Yan shook his head and said that although there was something wrong with their guess, what was certain was that Mu Jin did have other plans.

"They can't possibly be planning to attack the 16th Division. This is even more impossible. Mu Jin simply doesn't have that many people under his command. There's no way he can win!" Commander Zhang denied.

Commander Yan fell into deep thought. Mu Jin's target was neither the 20th Division nor the 16th Division. So what could it be?
"Wait a minute, do you think there is a possibility that Mu Jin is actually going to take down the headquarters of the 16th Division?!" Commander Yan asked. This was a sudden thought that came to him.

"Commander, it seems possible that you said that. The headquarters of the 16th Division must be in the rear.
We are responsible for luring away the main force of the 16th Division, so that there are not so many people in its headquarters, and giving him the opportunity to destroy the headquarters of the 16th Division.

The problem is that the headquarters of the 16th Division is probably only one regiment, which is far from enough to annihilate the 20th Division." Commander Zhang began to analyze.

"Yes, that's true. I guess Nakajima Imao may have done something to offend Mu Jin, so he made Mu Jin do this.

This kid has deceived all of us!" Commander Yan nodded and continued.

He thought he had guessed Mu Jin's plan, but he was wrong. Who could have thought that Mu Jin was going for the headquarters of the 16th Division? Anyone with a discerning eye would think that the headquarters of the 16th Division would be difficult to attack.

But to Mu Jin, this headquarters was no different from being undefended. As long as the number of enemies guarding the headquarters did not reach the level of a brigade and they were not on guard, it could be taken down.

"This kid is so scary. He has fooled everyone around! If he becomes successful in the future and runs to the Eighth Route Army, I think that guy will never be able to sleep again!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but say.

"Why bother about him? He's not coming for us anyway. After all, we've cooperated with him several times. No matter what he does, he won't be ruthless to us in the future." Commander Yan said. He still wanted Mu Jin to give him an explanation.
