Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 852

Kong Sheng came to the conference room and sat down.

Company commander Zhao Fangcheng sat down carefully beside him.

"I wonder if the commander came here to give any instructions?!" Zhao Fangcheng asked. He found that all the soldiers who came were veterans who survived Fengling.

"Take your people and leave Taiping Town and return to Changde immediately." Kong Sheng stated the mission directly.

Taiping Town will temporarily become Mu Jin's base. In order to avoid trouble, the garrison of Taiping Town can only be transferred away first.

"Ah?! What should we do here?!" Zhao Fangcheng was stunned when he heard this and said quickly.

Did he make a mistake? ! That's why the commander transferred him away? !

"Someone will naturally take over here. Just obey orders." Kong Sheng did not explain much.

"I understand. I'll take my people away now." Zhao Fangcheng didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly got up and left.

Kong Sheng also ordered Battalion Commander Xiao Zhan to take people to take over Taiping Town.

He then sent a telegram to Mu Jin to inform him that they had arrived in Taiping Town.

Soon, they received a telegram.

"Commander, Captain Mu sent a telegram saying that he will bring his men to Taiping Town around 3 pm." The telegraph operator read out the content.

"Well, tell Captain Mu that I will pick him up in the woods outside Taiping Town." Kong Sheng nodded and continued to give instructions.

"Yes." The telegraph operator then left the meeting room.

Kong Sheng stood up and walked out of the barracks, and Xiao Zhan came to meet him.

"Commander, Taiping Town has been taken over, and Zhao Fangcheng has also left with his men!"

"That's fine. Tell the people in the kitchen to kill the chickens and ducks quickly, and then go to the town to buy pork, bacon, and live fish. I want to give Captain Mu and the others a welcome treat." Kong Sheng gave the orders.

He felt that Mu Jin and his friends had not had a good meal along the way, so he had to prepare a meal for them.

"Okay." Xiao Zhan nodded and was about to leave.

"Wait, let them buy more. Captain Mu and his men have big appetites. If we buy too little, I'm afraid they won't have enough to eat." Kong Sheng reminded.

"I understand." Xiao Zhan turned and left.

.........

About thirty miles north of Taiping Town, Li Jin and his companions were walking on the main road, heading towards Taiping Town.

"Battalion Commander, Kong Sheng sent a telegram saying that they have arrived in Taiping Town." Liu Changshun ran to report to Li Jin.

"Kong Sheng?! I see." Li Jin was stunned when he heard that it was Kong Sheng who came to pick him up, but then he understood something.

"Old Han is such a dishonest person. He didn't even come to pick us up in person." Liu Changshun was also a little dissatisfied.

When they first started working together, Han Mingyuan and the battalion commander were on good terms, but unexpectedly, after coming here, Han Mingyuan started to put on airs.

They came from afar to support us, but you didn't even come to pick them up in person. You are such an ungrateful person.

"That's not the case. Old Han has concerns. Or rather, it's General Liang who has concerns.

You have to know that many of them are being watched.
If Lao Han brings people here personally, we will be too conspicuous and we will be targeted.
So, it is better to have less trouble than more." Li Jin helped Han Mingyuan explain.

"Isn't Commander Liang the boss here? Who dares to stare at him?" Liu Changshun was a little puzzled.

As the commander here, with Liang Gu's status and position, who would dare to stare at him?

"Don't ask too many questions about these things. It's very troublesome to explain. Their army is not as united as ours." Li Jin didn't say much.

If I really want to explain it, it will take a long time.

"Oh." Liu Changshun was tactful and didn't ask any more questions.

"Go send a telegram to Captain Kong and tell him that we will arrive in Taiping Town around three o'clock in the afternoon," Li Jin ordered.

"Yes." Liu Changshun quickly asked someone to send a telegram, and not long after, he came back with the telegram.

"Captain Kong said that he would pick us up in the woods outside Taiping Town when the time comes."

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

Around 2:45 p.m.

Kong Sheng brought his men to the woods early to wait.

"Why hasn't Captain Mu arrived yet?!" Xiao Zhan was a little confused. In his opinion, it was impossible for Mu Jin to be late.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to them anyway, just wait patiently. Besides, it's not even three o'clock yet." Kong Sheng responded. Since Mu Jin and the others said they would arrive at three o'clock, they would definitely arrive at three o'clock and would not go back on their word.

"Commander, Battalion Commander Mu and his men are here." At this time, a soldier ran over to report.

"Look, I told you, let's go pick up Captain Mu." Kong Sheng walked out of the woods.
Just then I saw Mu Jin and the others walking towards this side.

"Commander, why are there only five or six hundred people brought by Captain Mu?!" Xiao Zhan took a look at the number of people coming and couldn't help but frowning.

He thought Mu Jin would bring more than a thousand people, but he didn't expect there were only this few.

"It's enough, it's just a reinforced battalion." Kong Sheng responded. Mu Jin and his men would not fight the Japanese head-on, so five or six hundred people would be more than enough.

"They brought a lot of supplies. Does this mean they don't trust us?!" Xiao Zhan continued!

Each of those soldiers was carrying a lot of supplies.

"You don't know, those were the spoils of Mu Jin and his men." Kong Sheng smiled when he heard that.

"Ah?! Captured?! Don't tell me they killed the Japanese on their way here." Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, then thought of this possibility.

"Yes, that's right. Captain Mu and his men first attacked the Japanese in Xiangyang, and then attacked the Japanese in Jingmen. It's normal for them to have these spoils of war." Kong Sheng also learned about these things from Han Mingyuan.

"Captain Mu and his men really don't take the Japanese seriously." Xiao Zhan didn't know what to say for a moment when he heard this.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't believe it, but since the person who did this was Mu Jin, it was basically true.

"That is to say, they don't have enough supplies. Otherwise, they could train more powerful fighters. The Japanese devils would not be worth mentioning at all." Kong Sheng said.

Having seen the strength of Mu Jin's soldiers, he knew very well that if he gave Mu Jin a lot of supplies and soldiers, he could hand over soldiers who were just as strong.

Li Jin and others quickly came in front of Kong Sheng.

"Captain Mu, thank you for your hard work." Kong Sheng took two steps at a time and came to Li Jin and said.

"Sorry to have kept Kong Tuan waiting for a long time." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Come on, let's go into the town and talk. I have asked people to prepare wine and food, and I'm waiting for you to come." Kong Sheng made a gesture of invitation.

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain Kong. I've been traveling all the way and I'm hungry." Li Jin was not polite.

"The reason why the master didn't come to pick you up this time is..." Kong Sheng began to explain the whole story, and it was the same as Li Jin's idea. Han Mingyuan was indeed not suitable to come and pick you up in person.

"So, I hope Captain Mu won't be angry." Kong Sheng continued. He was also a little worried that Mu Jin would be angry.

"Don't worry, Captain Kong. I understand." Li Jin is not a stingy person.

The group soon arrived at Taiping Town.

On the way, many people looked at Li Jin and his men, especially when they saw many soldiers carrying light and heavy machine guns, they were all wondering which unit they were and why their firepower was so strong.

Kong Sheng brought Li Jin and others to the military camp.

Many cooks were serving the dishes. Fifty tables were set up on the open space. The aroma of meat filled the air, stimulating people's taste buds and making them salivate.

"I originally thought that Captain Mu would bring thousands of people, so I set up twenty more tables. It's just right, so it's not crowded when sitting like this." Kong Sheng said with a smile.

"There are a lot of dishes. Thank you for your hard work, Captain Kong." Li Jin said. There are chickens, ducks, fish and meat. They should all be freshly killed.

"Here, here, Captain Mu, please take a seat." Kong Sheng brought Li Jin to the largest table. He pulled out a chair and asked Li Jin to sit down first.

"Captain Kong, please sit down too." Li Jin said and looked at Liu Changshun and the others.

Half of the soldiers from the special operations battalion were seated but the other half were on alert.

"Captain Mu, let them eat together?!" Kong Sheng couldn't help but say when he saw this.

"No, let's finish eating first, then it's their turn." Li Jin said. If someone put drugs in the food, they would still be able to fight back.

Although this possibility is not high, he still needs to be vigilant. He does not want to capsize in the ditch.

"Okay." Kong Sheng nodded. He also knew Mu Jin's concerns, so he didn't say much. After all, they were just partners to each other.

The meal lasted until half past five. Kong Sheng was shocked by the appetite of the soldiers from the special operations battalion.

The food that was enough to feed thousands of people was eaten up by these five or six hundred people. They were all like gluttons.

"Thank you, Captain Kong, for the hospitality." Li Jin said. The meal was indeed very satisfying. After traveling for such a long time, he could finally have a good meal.

"You're welcome, Captain Mu. I'll take you to the rest room." Kong Sheng said.

"Yeah, that's fine." Li Jin nodded.

Kong Sheng brought Li Jin to a yard.

"The place is a bit small, please don't mind, Captain Mu." Kong Sheng pushed open the door and said apologetically.

"It's not small. It's much bigger than the room I live in." Li Jin's residence doesn't have a yard.

"Captain Mu, I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving first. I'll take you to see the commander tomorrow." Kong Sheng turned and left the yard.

This military camp has directly become the territory of the special operations battalion. As for Kong Sheng’s soldiers, they can only live outside.

Liu Changshun and several company commanders also came to find Li Jin.

"Battalion Commander, Commander Kong is pretty good. He prepared such a sumptuous meal for us. It's no worse than what we eat at the base." Liu Changshun said as soon as he entered the door.

The meals they ate at the base were almost the same as those prepared by Kong Sheng.

“The taste is just a little worse. I feel like it’s not as delicious as what our cooks cook.” Liu Changshun made another comment.

"You kid, it's good enough to have something to eat, but you're still picky." Upon hearing this, Li Jin patted Liu Changshun on the head.

"That's right. If you don't want to eat it, you'll have to eat the Japanese canned meat starting tomorrow." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Hey, why?" Liu Changshun was dissatisfied.

"Who told you to be so picky?" Zhao Ming replied.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Li Jin told the two to shut up.

"Battalion Commander, those brought by Captain Kong seem to be veterans who have worked with us before." Lu Changgong said. From the soldiers brought by Kong Sheng to the soldiers he met when he entered Taiping Town, he basically knew them all well.

"This should be Han Mingyuan's idea. He is worried that other people don't know us, and that unnecessary trouble may arise at that time." Li Jin also understood what Han Mingyuan meant.

"I didn't expect that Old Han is such a thoughtful person." Liu Changshun praised.

"Battalion Commander, how exactly are we going to fight this time?!" Lu Changgong asked.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, with so few people like us, it's impossible for us to fight the devils head-on. The main thing is to find opportunities for sneak attacks and ambush.

If there is a chance, we can also carry out a decapitation operation on the Japanese. If we can kill the Japanese division commander, it will be a great achievement! "Li Jin told the follow-up plan!

They would not listen to Han Mingyuan's orders. On the contrary, they wanted Han Mingyuan to cooperate with them.

"This is great. We've been fighting the Japanese for so long, and even the brigade commander has killed many of them, but he has never killed the division commander!" Liu Changshun also looked eager to try.

"It depends on the opportunity. It's not that easy to kill a Japanese division commander." Li Jin said. If there was a chance, he would naturally want to kill a Japanese division commander.

"That depends on whether the battalion commander can find an opportunity. I believe he can do it." Liu Changshun said.

Everyone else also looked at Li Jin as if they were placing their hopes on him.

"I'll try my best. You never know!" Li Jin naturally didn't dare to make any promises.

"You all go and rest, it's relatively safe here." Li Jin ordered.

They really haven't had a good rest during this period.

"Captain, let's go to rest first. You should also go to bed early." Liu Changshun and others nodded and left.

.........

On the other side, after Kong Sheng left, Xiao Zhan came over.

"Commander, I feel like Captain Mu and his men don't seem to trust us very much and are always wary of us," said Xiao Zhan.

It can be seen from the fact that Mu Jin and the others take turns eating and remain vigilant the entire time.

"Normal. If it were me, I would do the same. We worked well together because we were not in our respective territories.

But it's different now, they have come to our territory, so they will be vigilant." Kong Sheng explained, he could understand Mu Jin's caution.

"That's true, but I still feel a little uncomfortable." Xiao Zhan nodded, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of Mu Jin and the others' behavior.

After all, they came to welcome Mu Jin and others with sincerity.

"Mu Jin and the others have actually given us face. At least they ate the food we prepared. If they really didn't trust us at all, they probably wouldn't even pick up their chopsticks." Kong Sheng continued.

Mu Jin and the others already trusted them. You know, if they poisoned the food, Mu Jin and the others would basically die.

"Also, don't forget that Mu Jin and the others have no one behind them. They can only rely on themselves for everything. If something goes wrong, there will be no recovery.
If you were in their shoes, what would you do? " Kong Sheng continued, and then asked a question in return.

"Captain, I'm sorry, it's my problem. I didn't think too much about it!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan suddenly felt that his suspicion just now was inappropriate.

"Fortunately, you didn't say this in front of Mu Jin, otherwise, Mu Jin would probably be really angry." Kong Sheng said.
