Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 892

During the attack on Changsha, several regiment commanders died in battle, and even two brigade commander-level officers died in battle. If Inaya Shiro also died in battle, it would be a big problem.

They have never had a case of a division commander or regiment commander-level officer dying in battle.

"Commander, don't worry too much. Inaya-kun is a lucky man. He won't die in disgrace." A Japanese soldier spoke to comfort him.

"I hope so!" The Japanese commander felt helpless. He had thought that this attack would go smoothly and Changsha would be captured, but he didn't expect such a big problem to arise.

.........

On the other side, the Japanese regiment commander was also waiting for news.

Soon, the Japanese lieutenant colonel ran back with a telegram in his hand and a serious look on his face.

"What did the commander say?!" asked the Japanese regiment commander.

"Captain, the commander said that if we can't rescue the division commander, we will have to die." The Japanese lieutenant colonel conveyed the message.

"It is just as I expected." Upon hearing this, the Japanese captain felt disheartened. He knew this would be the case.

Compared with the division commander, these regiment commander-level officers are nothing. Now they can only pray that nothing happens to the division commander.

As time passed, the doctor who was going to perform surgery on Inaya Shiro came out.

"How is the division commander? Is he out of danger?!" the Japanese regiment commander asked anxiously.

"Most of the shrapnel and wounds on the regiment commander's body have been treated, but his injuries are too serious and he is still in danger of death," said the doctor.

If the brigade commander had not helped the division commander block most of the damage at the critical moment, the division commander would probably have died long ago and would not have survived until now.

Although they tried their best to rescue him, there was no guarantee that Inaya Shiro would survive.

"Qikexiu, didn't you try your best?" The Japanese captain grabbed the doctor's collar with an angry look on his face.

"Captain, this really can't be blamed on us. Now we can only see if the division commander can wake up in these three days. If he can wake up, he will be out of danger." The Japanese doctor's tone was somewhat helpless.

Is it that he doesn't want to save the division commander? It's because the division commander is too seriously injured.

The Japanese regiment commander took a deep breath. He also knew that the doctor could not be blamed entirely. He dug out the division commander himself and knew that he was seriously injured.

"I'll go in and see the division commander." The Japanese regiment commander was about to walk into the tent.

"Captain, you'd better change your clothes and disinfect them, otherwise the division commander's wound will be infected, and then there will be nothing we can do." The Japanese doctor hurriedly stopped him and spoke.

The captain is dirty and it would be a big problem if he brought some bacteria in.

"Okay!" The Japanese captain nodded when he heard this. He quickly changed into a white coat, put on a mask, wrapped himself tightly, and then went into the tent to visit.

I saw that Inaya Shiro was covered with bandages, his broken arm was bandaged, and his right eye was wrapped in gauze.

"What's wrong with the division commander's eyes?!" asked the Japanese regiment commander.

"His eye is already damaged. In order to save the other eye, it has to be removed." The Japanese doctor said hurriedly. If the damaged eye is not removed, it will definitely affect the other eye.

"What?!" The Japanese captain was shocked and unable to speak for a while.

Looking at the wounded Inaya Shiro, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't expect that the high-spirited division commander not only became a one-eyed man, but also had a broken arm. It was really too miserable.

Even if he could survive, he would probably have to quit as a commander.

The Japanese regiment commander left the tent.

"Captain, why don't we let the doctors treat the seriously injured first? If we delay any longer, they will really be in trouble." The Japanese lieutenant colonel said.

"Of course the division commander is more important." The Japanese regiment commander said. How could the life of a mere soldier be compared with that of the division commander? The current division commander is still in danger of his life.

"Captain of the Regiment, the fact that the division commander was seriously injured has already greatly affected the morale of the troops. If they knew that the division commander is still in a state of uncertainty about his life or death, the impact would be even greater.
Let one doctor treat the soldiers first, and the remaining one should stay with the division commander to take care of him." The Japanese lieutenant colonel quickly analyzed the situation.

The division commander is a big shot in the hearts of the soldiers. If they know that the division commander might die, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army.

"That's true." The Japanese regiment commander nodded when he heard this.

"In a moment, go inform the officers below and tell them that the division commander is no longer in danger and they don't need to worry too much.
When the division commander is well, he will continue to lead us in the battle! "The Japanese brigade commander continued to say that the morale of the army was in trouble and they had to calm it down quickly.

"I understand." The Japanese lieutenant colonel nodded, and was about to leave when he was stopped.

"Wait, you can also count the casualties tonight." The Japanese regiment commander gave the order. He didn't know how many soldiers had died tonight.

He did see all the seriously injured soldiers, at least several hundred of them, and those who were slightly injured and still capable of fighting did not need to be counted.

"Hi!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel turned and left.

Ten minutes later, the Japanese lieutenant colonel came back with a report of casualties in his hand.

"Captain, the casualty report is out. One thousand six hundred and twenty-three soldiers were killed tonight, and four hundred and fifty-nine were seriously injured." The Japanese lieutenant colonel said hurriedly.

"Damn it, how could so many people die in battle?!" The Japanese captain's face turned black when he heard this. In less than one night, so many of them died in battle.

Adding the seriously injured soldiers, it is estimated that more of them will die in battle. The number of people who will die in battle tonight is at least over 1,800.

"Captain, there is nothing we can do about this. Most of the soldiers have been gathered near the Gravel Mountain, and they have only set up simple positions.

In this situation, the enemy's artillery shells caused us heavy casualties." The Japanese lieutenant colonel explained.

Their personnel were too concentrated, and their simple positions were not even trenches, let alone anti-artillery holes.

The enemy's artillery shells were coming and there was no place to hide.

"How can you repair it!!!" the Japanese regiment commander gnashed his teeth in anger.

It was the first time for him to hate a unit so much. The brigade commander died in battle, the division commander's life and death were unknown, and so many soldiers also died in battle. The losses were simply too great.

.........

After the artillery fire stopped, Li Jin quickly led his men to meet up with Liu Changshun and his men.

During this period, Li Jin was also paying attention to the system. When he saw that a Japanese brigade commander was killed by a shell, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that he had gained a lot this time.

The only pity is that we didn’t see the news that the Japanese division commander was killed in the bombing, which is also a pity.

If the Japanese division commander could be killed in the explosion, the impact would be huge.

It will greatly encourage the people and give them more hope for victory.

"Captain, should we withdraw?" Liu Changshun asked. "Well, let's go, this battle is over." Li Jin nodded.

Anyway, we killed a Japanese brigade commander in the bomb, which was a good deal. We also caused at least two thousand Japanese casualties, so it was a great victory.

Li Jin and his men took advantage of the night to evacuate quickly and rushed to where Kong Sheng and his men were.

The next morning, Li Jin and his men had already moved away from the Japanese and reached a safe location.

"Let's eat something and take a rest first." Li Jin gave the order, asking everyone to rest.

To be honest, he was really worried that the Japanese would be furious and send people to chase them.

However, judging from the situation, the Japanese seemed to be afraid of them and did not chase them. They were probably worried that they would be ambushed along the way.

Everyone started eating the Japanese canned beef. Although they were a little tired of it, they still had to eat it. This thing was convenient and did not require much trouble.

"Battalion commander, do you think our shelling last night killed the Japanese division commander?" Liu Changshun came and sat down next to Li Jin, holding a can in his hand.

"Probably not." Li Jin shook his head. If the Japanese division commander was killed, he would definitely know.

"That's really a pity. The artillery fired shells based on the positions you predicted, but we don't know if they hit the big fish." Liu Changshun felt a little regretful.

Most of the artillery shells were fired at the Japanese positions behind the gravel hill, and only a few were fired at the gravel hill.

It was the battalion commander who speculated that there might be a position for the Japanese division commander.

"It's okay. We killed a lot of Japanese anyway, so we didn't lose out this time." Li Jin smiled. He was not a greedy person.

If I fail to kill the Japanese division commander this time, I can kill him next time.

"Yeah, that's right." Liu Changshun nodded and continued eating the canned beef.

"I'm really tired of eating this canned food, Battalion Commander, let's go back to the base quickly. I kind of want to go back." Liu Changshun couldn't help but say after he finished eating.

During this period of time, they have been outdoors every day, and one by one, they have been covered with mosquito bites. It is really not a living condition.

"Okay, okay, okay. Anyway, the battle here has been resolved, and it's time to go back." Li Jin said. Almost three months have passed since they set out from the base.

I don’t know how the base is developing, but the number of people should have increased a lot.

"Send a telegram to the brigade commander immediately, telling him that the fighting here is over and we are ready to go back," said Li Jin.

They have to report the news of their return to the brigade commander to avoid worrying him and others.

"Yes." Liu Changshun immediately got up and left.

.........

386th Brigade, Brigade Headquarters.

The brigade commander and the political commissar were working in the conference room.

"Li Jin hasn't sent us any telegrams since the last time he sent us a telegram saying that he had killed a brigade commander. I don't know how he is doing now." The political commissar put down his pen and talked about Li Jin.

Since Li Jin set out to help, he rarely sent them telegrams, after all, it was for safety reasons.

"This kid will be fine, but you have to admit, he is quite courageous. He actually dares to take a small group of people to attack a Japanese logistics department!" The brigade commander couldn't help but smile when he said the latter part.

"That's not the case. This kid has been so bold for a long time. Running to the rear of the Japanese is probably a small matter for him." The political commissar also said.

Not to mention running to the Japanese's rear, if Li Jin knew the location of the Japanese division commander, this guy would probably dare to lead his men to attack.

Whether we die in the fight or not is another matter, but in any case, we must defeat the Japanese.

"With this kid around, we really have less worries." The brigade commander had a smile on his face.

"Brigade Commander, didn't you feel that he was a problem before?" After hearing this, the political commissar couldn't help but spoil the story.

"Nonsense, I didn't say that." The brigade commander denied it directly.

"But to be honest, this kid is really worry-free when he's not causing trouble, but once he causes trouble, it's a big deal," the brigade commander added.

Even Li Yunlong didn't dare to do something like killing Japanese prisoners, but this kid Li Jin did it and killed so many of them in one breath.

"Speaking of Li Yunlong, this kid has been pretty well behaved lately. He hasn't caused any trouble. He just occasionally mobilizes a company of troops to cause trouble for the Japanese." said the political commissar.

Li Yunlong is relatively well behaved now and doesn't jump around as much.

"The Japs are now targeting the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If this kid does something big and irritates the Japs, they will turn around and attack me. I won't be able to kill him." The brigade commander said seriously.

Three months have passed since so many Japanese were killed, but their anger has not subsided.

At this time, if Li Yunlong made a big deal out of it, the Japanese would really attack Li Yunlong.

"Don't worry, Li Yunlong also knows the seriousness of the matter and will not make a big deal out of it," said the political commissar.

"Wait a minute, isn't the battle in Changsha over? Why hasn't Li Jin sent a message saying he's coming back?!" The political commissar suddenly reacted.

They had received news that the battle over there had ended a few days ago and the Japanese had been repelled.

Liang Gu also made great contributions and annihilated nearly 10,000 Japanese devils. Needless to say, this must have been done with the help of Li Jin, otherwise Liang Gu would not have been able to do this.

"Oh no, this kid isn't going to run after the Japanese?!" The brigade commander was also stunned. After the battle, Li Jin did not send a telegram to report. This must mean that Li Jin had other things to do.

Apart from fighting the Japanese, Li Jin would not do anything else.

"It's possible. He probably thought that since he had killed a Japanese brigade commander, he might be able to kill the Japanese division commander if he chased him.

After all, after the Japanese broke through the defense line, they thought they were safe and would relax their vigilance. "The political commissar guessed what Li Jin was thinking.

"Damn it, needless to say, it must be like this. It really makes me worry!" The brigade commander directly confirmed it. Based on his understanding of Li Jin, the other party must have thought so and done so.

"Brigade Commander, didn't you just say that this kid is easy to worry about?" Seeing the brigade commander's helpless look, the political commissar said happily.

"Just pretend I didn't say anything." The brigade commander said unhappily.

"Okay, this kid still has some sense. If the situation is not right, he will probably run faster than anyone else. He will be fine." The political commissar comforted.

Li Jin is quite cautious when it comes to fighting, but sometimes he is a little too bold, which makes people worry.

Just then, a telegraph operator rushed in.

"Brigade Commander, we received a telegram from Battalion Commander Li saying that the battle over there has ended and they are on their way back," said the telegraph operator.
