Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Afterwards, Zhang Dazhuang took Wu Sanping and the others out of the village. After telling the villagers that they could join the Eighth Route Army, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had just been worried that they would not be able to join, but they didn't expect it to be so easy.

Zhang Dazhuang quickly took these villagers to the conscription office to sign up, and then took people to the logistics department to receive military uniforms and guns. Of course, they only distributed guns and did not give them bullets to avoid any accidents.

When the two left the meeting room, Chief of Staff Zhong also took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Deputy Head Qian.

"Old Qian, the person recommended by Li Jin has arrived at the regiment headquarters."

"What?! You come so quickly, I'll go back right away." Deputy Captain Qian's voice came with some surprise.

"It's okay, you don't have to come back. I have already arranged for them to register." Chief of Staff Zhong just told him.

"Just take care of it. I'll get back to my work. Remember to tell the team leader that the people have arrived." After saying this, Deputy Team Leader Qian cut off contact.

Chief of Staff Zhong stood up and went to the communications room, then called the brigade headquarters.

"I am the operations chief of staff of the New 1st Regiment. Please ask Commander Li Yunlong to answer the phone. I have something to discuss with him." Chief of Staff Zhong said.

"Okay, please wait." A voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chief of Staff Zhong waited for several minutes before he heard Li Yunlong's voice.

"Old Zhong, what's going on?! Could it be that the Japanese are attacking us?!"

"No, it's the person recommended by Li Jin who is here..." Chief of Staff Zhong informed them of the matter.

"You just need to arrange this small matter. By the way, they came with letters of introduction, right? Are you sure they are okay?!" Li Yunlong asked again. After all, he was also worried. If someone attacked the other party and pretended to be the other party, it would be a big problem.

"There is a letter of introduction, and I have also observed the other party. The calluses on his palms are very thick, which are only found by ordinary people who work in the fields all year round." Chief of Staff Zhong shared his findings.

Ordinary people who work in the fields all year round will have thick calluses on their hands, which is different from those trained spies.

"That's all, just arrange it." Li Yunlong, since there is no problem, there is no need to waste time.

"I plan to draw two portraits of them, and then send someone to their village to confirm their identities." Chief of Staff Zhong felt that it was still necessary to ensure safety issues.

After all, they would soon be exchanging prisoners with the Japanese, and someone happened to arrive at this time, so they needed to be somewhat cautious.

"Well, it's not wrong to be more cautious in critical moments." Li Yunlong nodded in agreement, and understood that Chief of Staff Zhong was also considering the overall situation.

"It's not that troublesome actually. You can just tell those people to draw two portraits of them and then go back to the village to confirm their identities.
If they feel guilty and dare not let you draw, there is probably something wrong.
Of course, even if they draw it for you, you have to have someone keep an eye on them and don't give them a chance to pass on the information. If that happens, something might happen to the original village, so be careful." Li Yunlong said to solve the problem.

This method saves time and effort. If a spy really sneaks in, he will definitely panic.

"Okay, then we'll do as you say." Chief of Staff Zhong also felt that Li Yunlong's method was better. It didn't require so much trouble to send someone to the village to confirm the identity.

"Remember to tell Li Jin that the person he recommended has arrived." Li Yunlong added another instruction. After all, this person was recommended by Li Jin. Now that the person has arrived, he has to tell the other party!
"No problem. By the way, Lao Li, when will you come back?!" Chief of Staff Zhong nodded and asked again.

"If it's fast, it will probably be tomorrow, and if it's slow, it will probably be the day after tomorrow, because the boss is still studying the transaction address and the time and so on. Anyway, the affairs of the regiment in the next two days will be handed over to you and Lao Qian." Li Yunlong said the last part, and at the same time he became a hands-off boss, leaving all the matters to Chief of Staff Zhong and Deputy Regiment Commander Qian to handle.

"Well, I'll be busy now." After Chief of Staff Zhong hung up the phone, he immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Li Jin to inform him of the matter.

Li Jin quickly replied with two words: OK.

.........

"Old Li, what happened in the regiment!" Li Yunlong returned to the temporary residence. Zhao Gang asked when he saw this. They were just studying where the transaction address would be when Li Yunlong was called by the communicator to answer the phone. The operator said that it was a call from Chief of Staff Zhong.

“It’s nothing serious…” Li Yunlong briefly explained the matter.

"Well, let's continue studying it." After hearing this, Zhao Gang didn't take it too seriously. Now that they were free, they might as well study the map.

"Xu Qingfeng, when the transaction address is determined, you will be responsible for sending people to watch the outside. If the Japanese really dare to cause trouble, just fight them directly. I will send people to support us quickly. Do you understand?" Li Yunlong began to explain the follow-up matters.

They were responsible for protecting their comrades' safety, while Xu Qingfeng and his men were responsible for ensuring that they would not be attacked by the Japanese.

"No problem." Xu Qingfeng nodded. Anyway, they had a walkie-talkie, so if anything happened, they could contact them immediately.

"I think the Japanese are unlikely to cause any trouble. In comparison, they are probably more worried that we will join forces with the so-called Northeast Army to attack them." Zhao Gang said.

The Japanese were already very afraid of the Northeast Army, so it was understandable that they were worried about them joining forces with the Northeast Army.

"Indeed, if the Japanese dare to mobilize a large force, they will alert us immediately, so the Japanese dare not make any small moves.
At most, we can ask soldiers from several counties to work together to ensure that there will be no problems with this transaction. The number of people is estimated to be no more than one brigade." Xu Qingfeng also said.

In fact, they don’t need to worry about this transaction the least. What they should worry about is the Japanese.

If the devil dares to mobilize a large force, it means they want to take this opportunity to destroy them, but do they dare? !
The Japanese might be worried that once they mobilize a large force, they would fall into a trap. By then, not only would the supplies and the pilots be killed, but even the mobilized troops would probably not be able to escape.

"We still can't be careless. What if the Japanese are stubborn or have a brain storm and think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to encircle and suppress us, and directly mobilize a large force here." Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

Although the Japanese were a little afraid, they were more filled with hatred. With such a good opportunity, there was no guarantee that they would not be tempted.

"That's right. You beat the Japanese like that. They must be feeling very angry. They might even get so angry that they lose their minds." Zhao Gang looked at Xu Qingfeng as he said this.

"Well, you can't blame us entirely. You guys are also responsible." Xu Qingfeng coughed awkwardly. It wasn't all their fault. Most of the time, they cooperated with the Shinichi Group.

"But the Japanese are not afraid of our New 1st Regiment. What they are afraid of is you." Li Yunlong retorted. The Japanese were at most a little wary of the New 1st Regiment, but they were not afraid of it.

If the Japanese were really given a chance, they would definitely come and attack their New 1st Regiment. So, the only people the Japanese were afraid of were Li Jin and his men.

"You're right. If a real fight breaks out, the Japanese will still target you." Zhao Gang nodded.

"That's true, but they don't dare to provoke us now." Xu Qingfeng nodded in acknowledgment.

The Japanese don't have the courage to mobilize a large force now, otherwise, the troops in other bases will not let go of the Japanese when they are out of manpower. ………

At this time, the leader also received a call from the boss.

"The Japanese asked us to contact the Northeast Army and not to fight the Japanese for a deal." The boss' voice was tinged with a smile.

It was obvious that he was amused by the devils.

"Haha, the Japanese are really afraid of Li Jin and his men. They are still worried that Li Jin will beat them at this time, which shows that they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts." Upon hearing this, the leader couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well, have Li Yunlong and the others arrived?!" the boss nodded and asked again.

"They just arrived not long ago. I asked them to stay here for two days and wait for instructions." The leader replied.

"Well, we have already discussed the transaction location. It is outside Niugu Mountain, 50 miles east of the New First Group. It is relatively more advantageous there.
If the Japanese want to cause trouble, we can also use the terrain to deal a heavy blow to them." The boss told him the transaction address.

The transaction address cannot be too close to the New 1st Regiment, otherwise the Japanese will be worried. But it cannot be too close to the Japanese base, otherwise the Japanese will be worried and the transaction will be difficult to reach.

Niugushan just meets these two points, and relatively speaking, it is more advantageous for the New 1st Regiment to go there as soon as possible to occupy the advantageous terrain and set up control early. They will not attack the Japanese, but there is no guarantee that the Japanese will not attack, so it is better to be safe.

"What about the time?!" the leader asked.

"Seven days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I have asked the comrades in Taiyuan to wait until tomorrow to tell the Japanese the specific transaction address and time. You ask Li Yunlong to send the New 1st Regiment tonight to occupy the advantageous terrain to avoid being taken advantage of by the Japanese." The boss gave the order.

He purposely told the Japs one day late so that Li Yunlong and his men could act earlier, which would be beneficial to them.

"Understood." The leader nodded in response.

"Xu Qingfeng should be here too, remember to tell him that this mission cannot be done without the Special Operations Regiment." The boss said, he would not feel at ease without the Special Operations Regiment.

"Yes!"

"I have sent someone to deliver the list to the 386th Brigade. Remember to give it to Zhao Gang. Actually, there is no need to list the weapons and ammunition so clearly.
It was mainly food sent by the Japanese, as well as salt, sugar and other things. I was worried that the Japanese would poison them.
So, when the time comes, we will randomly sample and let the Japanese pilots test the poison. Anyway, even if there is a problem, it won’t harm our people!" The boss ordered.

He was not so worried about weapons and ammunition. The only thing he was worried about was food. If the Japanese really poisoned the food and the soldiers ate it, it would be a big disaster.

"Don't worry, boss. I will remind you." The leader responded quickly.

"Well, let them take the prisoners back to the New 1st Regiment tomorrow." The boss hung up the phone after giving the instructions.

After the leader hung up the phone, he immediately sent someone to notify Li Yunlong to come to the conference room for a meeting.

When he returned to the conference room, the political commissar also asked: "Has the boss confirmed the transaction address and time?!"

"Well, the address is Niugu Mountain, about 50 miles east of the New 1st Regiment, and the time is set seven days later." The leader did not hide anything and told the situation.

"This address is well chosen, and the time is set by us. The New 1st Regiment can send people there earlier to set up control." After hearing this, the political commissar also felt that the location chosen by the boss and others was very good.

They had the upper hand. If the Japanese dared to play any tricks, they could beat them so hard that they would be at a loss as to where to go.

"Yes, if we don't choose a good position, we will not feel at ease." The leader nodded. To be honest, we still have to remain vigilant against the Japanese.

Currently, only the Special Operations Regiment can defeat the Japanese. There is still a big gap between other troops and the Special Operations Regiment. Even the New 1st Regiment has a big gap with the Special Operations Regiment.

He would not feel at ease if the special operations team was not involved in this transaction.

"Chief, Political Commissar." Li Yunlong and others rushed over.

"Please sit down." The leader told them not to salute and just sit down.

"Chief, is there any news from the boss?!" Li Yunlong asked directly. Calling them over so suddenly must have already discussed it with the boss.

Xu Qingfeng, Zhao Gang and others also looked at the leader.

"Well, the boss has already selected the address..." The leader told the boss's instructions in detail.

"Please rest assured, Commander. The New 1st Regiment is guaranteed to complete the mission!" Li Yunlong immediately guaranteed.

"The Special Operations Regiment also guarantees to complete the mission!" Xu Qingfeng also quickly made a guarantee.

"This mission is not risky. The only thing that needs to be checked is the food, Zhao Gang..." The leader gave Zhao Gang some instructions. In short, the things sent by the Japanese must not be easily allowed to be eaten by the soldiers. The Japanese must be allowed to taste them to ensure that there are no problems.

"Commander, I'll remember that." Zhao Gang nodded seriously. One should be more cautious with the things sent by the Japanese.

"At that time, even if the Japanese pilots eat the food, we still have to observe them. Some poisons will not take effect so quickly." The leader reminded again.

"Understood!" Zhao Gang nodded. This matter was of great importance and he would keep an eye on it personally.

"Commander, why don't we just refuse the gifts from the Japanese? It seems a bit troublesome, and I don't feel safe eating them." Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but suggest at this time.

Just throw away the food sent by the Japanese. It will make you feel uneasy eating it.

"A lot of this food was probably snatched from the people by the Japanese. It would be a waste to just throw it away.

There are still a few bandits at the brigade, just let them eat, if they die, they die, if they don't die, we can save some money to buy supplies. "The leader said, and couldn't help but sighed.

After all, we are still quite poor, so we can only use this troublesome method to test whether there is any problem with the food. It would be a pity to throw away so many things.

"Yeah, that's fine too. It won't be too late to throw it away if something really happens." Xu Qingfeng nodded when he heard that. Anyway, they had those evil bandits as experimental subjects, so they wouldn't feel sad if they died, and they would have some extra supplies.
