Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Li Xuan looked at Li Jin with suspicion, and always felt that his son was not very suitable for the profession of teacher.

"What do you teach?!" Li Xuan asked.

"I don't know. Just teach casually. It should be mainly about fighting." Li Jin responded.

He knows a lot of things, but there are other things he knows that he cannot teach because students need to have a certain foundation.

So the main focus is on teaching how to fight a war, or talking about future development plans or something.

"You were able to become the regiment commander in such a short time, you must be quite capable. How many Japanese soldiers have you killed?!" Li Xuan nodded and asked again.

"Dad, don't you know my specific situation?!" Li Jin asked doubtfully. Logically, someone should have told his father about his situation.

Why do I feel like the other party doesn't seem to understand me very well?

"Commander Chen didn't tell me much, except that you have won many battles and are very powerful. If I want to know the details, I will ask you when you come." Li Xuan explained.

Although I don’t know how many battles my son has fought, they were definitely not small ones, otherwise, I would not have been promoted so quickly.

"I see." Li Jin suddenly realized that the leader wanted him to explain to his father in person, which was equivalent to allowing him to brag about himself in front of his father in disguise.

"Come on, tell me how many Japanese devils you have killed in the past two years." Li Xuan was still quite curious about this.

"Let me start from when I first joined the army. I had just joined the Eighth Route Army and had to fight a blocking battle with the Japanese within a few days. Not long after the battle began, my platoon of more than 30 people died and only two were left.
One is me, and the other is the political commissar of our regiment, who is also my close friend." Li Jin started from the first battle.

He described his battle situation at that time, from being scared at first to fighting the Japanese in the end.

"Well, that's good. It's not embarrassing after all." Li Xuan nodded. Although Li Jin did not elaborate, he could also feel the cruelty on the spot.

"I have to say that the Japanese were really strong in combat. Whether it was individual combat skills or weapons and equipment, they were all better than us at the time.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This sentence will never be out of date!" Li Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"Right? The Japanese are much more advanced than us. As an industrial power fighting against an agricultural power, the pressure we face is enormous.
If we are not careful, it might really happen…” Li Xuan did not continue speaking, but Li Jin knew what he wanted to say, the country would be destroyed!

"Therefore, our country must win this battle and cultivate more talents so that the country can become stronger in the future.

Only when the level of science and technology is improved, the country will be strong and no one will dare to invade us. "Li Jin said with a serious face.

"Well, this is necessary. Isn't this what I am doing now? What is the name of your good friend?!" Li Xuan nodded in agreement with what Li Jin said.

He also hopes to teach more students and cultivate more talents for the future of this country!

"His name is Xu Qingfeng. He helped me a lot. I basically let him handle all the affairs of the group." Li Jin felt a little embarrassed when he said the latter part.

"You kid, you are a team leader after all, but you don't handle the matters you are supposed to handle yourself, but throw them to others. You are so lazy." Li Xuan was so angry that he laughed after hearing this.

"Oh, there are too many things to do. I can't handle them all. It's just right to leave it to him. I will be responsible for training troops and fighting wars!" Li Jin responded.

"You kid... forget it, just continue talking." Li Xuan helplessly let Li Jin continue.

"Okay..." Li Jin then talked about his future career in the army, from being a squad leader to a platoon leader...

After talking for more than twenty minutes, a middle-aged woman in her forties also walked into the yard.

"Old Li, what do you want from me?!" Cai Yuanfang asked as she walked in. She looked at Li Jin's back and felt that he looked familiar.

When Li Jin heard the familiar voice, he quickly stood up and turned to look at the middle-aged woman.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Jin spoke slowly.

"Xiao Jin?! Is it really you?!" Cai Yuanfang's voice was trembling and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"It's really me." Li Jin smiled.

"You little rascal, it's been three years and you still don't come to see your mother! Let me see if you have any missing parts." Cai Yuanfang took a few steps forward, tears streaming down her face. She checked Li Jin from head to toe to make sure that Li Jin was not missing any parts.

"Mom, I'm fine." Li Jin felt touched. He could feel the other party's kind concern.

"Why have you become so darker? You seem to have lost weight too. You must have suffered a lot." Cai Yuanfang looked at Li Jin with a distressed look on her face.

"I haven't lost weight, I've gained a lot of weight. As for the black spots, it's normal. After all, I'm a soldier, how can I be white?" Li Jin explained.

"Mom finally sees you." Cai Yuanfang hugged Li Jin without saying a word, and hugged him very tightly, as if she was worried that Li Jin would run away in the next second.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault..." Li Jin began to apologize.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mother doesn't blame you. It's your duty to join the army to defend our country!" Cai Yuanfang said quickly.

"Alas... women just love to cry." Li Xuan, who was sitting, sighed. Although he said so, he was also secretly wiping away tears.

Three years later, their family was finally reunited.

If he hadn't heard news from Li Jin from time to time, he would have worried that Li Jin had been sacrificed.

"Old Li, go buy some groceries and cook. I want to talk to Xiao Jin more." Cai Yuanfang ordered.

"Okay." Li Xuan quickly got up and left, but stopped just as he was about to leave.

"Why don't you go quickly?" Cai Yuanfang glared, his face full of anger.

"I say, is there a situation where all my allowance is with you and I have no money on me." Li Xuan said aggrievedly.

"Hehe, look at my memory. Buy you some more delicious food!" Cai Yuanfang smiled awkwardly after hearing this and took out a few fifty-cent bills from his pocket and handed them to Li Xuan.

"Then I'll go buy some groceries." Li Xuan took the money and left.

Li Jin looked at this scene and couldn't help but smile. His father was still the henpecked husband, and he hadn't changed.

"Xiao Jin, I heard that you are the team leader, right?!" Cai Yuanfang pulled Li Jin to sit down and asked.

"Well, the leader thinks highly of me, so he promoted me at the beginning of this year." Li Jin nodded and said.

"As the regiment commander, you should listen more to the orders of the superiors. Don't act recklessly on your own and don't cause trouble, or else someone will take the blame for you," Cai Yuanfang said seriously.

She was worried that Li Jin would disobey orders or something.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do such a thing." Li Jin was a little helpless!
"That's hard to say. You're not the kind of person who would keep quiet!" Cai Yuanfang said. How could she not understand her son?

Li Jin also felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Hey, do you have a girl you like?!" Cai Yuanfang suddenly asked. "No." Li Jin shook his head.

"There's a girl where I work. She's very pretty, sensible and filial. I'll take you to meet her tomorrow." Cai Yuanfang said hurriedly.

"No, Mom, I don't meet the requirements now and can't get married. You are also a party member, don't you know the situation?" Li Jin quickly declined. He didn't want to go on a blind date.

"Mom knows, I'm not just asking you to meet once, you can talk first, and when the conditions are met in the future, you can get married and have babies. I'm still waiting to hold my grandchildren." Cai Yuanfang said a lot of things in a row.

"This is harming the girl. I'm fighting on the front line. I might die someday. Wouldn't that be very cruel to her? So, let's just forget about it! I can never go to see her." Li Jin was very determined.

Other things can be compromised, but this thing cannot be compromised.

"You little brat... Oh, forget it. I won't force you, but don't talk about sacrifice or not in the future!" Cai Yuanfang no longer forced it, as long as Li Jin was safe.

"Well, don't worry, I will protect myself." Li Jin nodded.

"Mom, I haven't seen you for three years, and you are still so beautiful. When you just came in, I thought you were some young lady!" Li Jin praised.

"You little rascal, you just tell lies to make me happy." Cai Yuanfang also smiled, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

After all, that woman doesn't like being praised for her good looks.

"This is not a lie. In my heart, mother will always be the most beautiful fairy in the world!" Li Jin said seriously.

"That's right. Back then, mom was also a pretty girl. The matchmaker who came to propose marriage even trampled down the threshold to get her married. But later she was tricked away by your father." Cai Yuanfang couldn't help but talk about what happened back then.

"Dad tricked you away?!" Li Jin said in surprise.

"That's not the case. When your father was pursuing me, he said a lot of sweet words to me, and... "Cai Yuanfang hadn't finished her words.

Li Xuan had already bought the food and came back.

"Xiao Jin, don't listen to her nonsense. It was clearly your mother who pursued me in the beginning!" Li Xuan hurriedly explained.

"Bullshit, if you hadn't taken me boating, would I have agreed to you? How dare you say no?!" Cai Yuanfang glared.

"Yes!" Li Xuan shrank his neck and responded weakly.

"Hurry up and cook, don't force me to slap you!" Cai Yuanfang urged.

"Okay!" Li Xuan ran into the kitchen carrying pork, bacon, and a chicken.

Li Jin was chatting with Cai Yuanfang. Most of the time, it was Cai Yuanfang who was talking while Li Jin was listening quietly and occasionally interjecting.

After chatting for half an hour, the water was boiled and Li Jin got up to help.

"Dad, let me kill the chicken." Li Jin came out holding the chicken.

Cai Yuanfang was also helping to grab the chicken's feet. Li Jin brought a bowl, then plucked the hair from the chicken's neck and cut it with a knife.

The blood flowed into the bowl below, soon filling up half the bowl.

"The hot water is here, please move aside, be careful not to get burned." Li Xuan came out carrying a large basin of hot water.

Li Jin put the chicken in hot water for a few minutes, and then began to pluck the chicken's feathers.

"Xiao Jin, you must have suffered a lot. You didn't even know how to kill a chicken before." Cai Yuanfang felt a little distressed when she saw Li Jin's skillful appearance.

"Mom, to be honest, I haven't suffered much. If I had, how could I have gained weight?
I'm not bragging, my son, I can beat 20 of those little Japanese without even taking a breath." Li Jin said.

"Yes, yes, isn't it enough for mother to believe in you? My Xiao Jin will always be the best." Cai Yuanfang nodded repeatedly. No matter what her son said, she believed it.

"Xiao Jin, you are exaggerating. The casualty ratio between our troops and the Japanese is three to one, or even four to one," said Li Xuan.

"That was in the past. The army has developed very quickly now. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about your food, it is much better than when you first arrived.
Now many troops are basically able to guarantee three meals a day, and the intensity of training is also increasing, so the combat effectiveness will naturally not be weakened.

Although there is still a big gap compared with the Japanese, the casualty ratio can basically be controlled at three to one.
Some troops can even control the ratio to about 2:1, such as the New 1st Regiment, whose combat effectiveness is very strong.
If we were to ambush them, it wouldn't be a problem to easily wipe out a battalion of Japanese soldiers." Li Jin said a lot.

"Then what kind of casualty ratio can your regiment achieve with the Japanese? Two to one?!" Li Xuan asked.

"One to three." Li Jin thought for a while and said, if it was the special operations company back then, he would dare to say zero to a few.

But now it is a special operations regiment. Although the number of people has increased, the individual combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened.

"It's you three?!" Li Xuan said.

"It's us one and the Japanese three." Li Jin corrected.

"Is this true? Don't lie to me, kid." Li Xuan couldn't believe it.

Is the regiment led by Li Jin so powerful that it can inflict such a loss ratio on the Japanese? !
"Why would I lie to you? Next time our leader comes, just ask him directly." Li Jin said.

"Well, my son is worthy of his name. A good father will have a good son." After hearing this, Li Xuan decisively chose to believe it and boasted about himself at the same time.

"Bah! Shameless thing, what does this have to do with you? It's our Xiao Jin who is awesome, and you're just taking credit for it." Cai Yuanfang said directly without giving him any face.

"Hmph, I won't bother to confront a woman like you. I'm going to cut the pork." Li Xuan got up and went into the kitchen.

After Li Jin shaved off all the feathers, he processed the chicken and then carried it into the kitchen and handed it to Li Xuan.

"Dad, I leave the rest to you." Li Jin said.

"Go out and chat with your mother." Li Xuan waved his hand. He wanted to show his strength.

"Yeah." Li Jin walked out of the kitchen and went to chat with Cai Yuanfang again.

Around six o'clock in the evening, the dishes were ready.

The hen was stewed into soup, the pork was made into braised pork, and the bacon was just stir-fried with celery for the sake of simplicity.

"Come, come, let's eat." Li Xuan came out with the pot.

"Mom, let me serve you some rice." Li Jin took Cai Yuanfang's bowl and filled it up, then filled another bowl for Li Xuan.
"Tell me how you've been spending the past three years." Cai Yuanfang said.

"Yeah, okay." Li Jin nodded. He did not talk about the war, but instead told about the interesting things that happened during the training.

Cai Yuanfang was so amused that she started laughing.
