Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Five days later, Li Jin first went to the headquarters. After talking with the boss for more than an hour, he led his troops to the brigade headquarters.

It was not until around 6:30 in the evening that Li Jin arrived at the brigade headquarters, and he went to the conference room immediately.

"Chief, Political Commissar, I'm back." Li Jin saluted the two of them.

"Well, sit down." The leader nodded and motioned Li Jin to sit down first.

"You must have gained a lot from this trip to Yan'an." After Li Jin sat down, the leader asked with a smile.

"It's indeed a great gain!" Li Jin responded. Being able to meet that person and other leaders was his biggest gain.

"You're great, kid. Others go to be students wherever they go, but you're going to be a teacher." The leader joked, but he was also happy for Li Jin in his heart.

"You're joking, Chief. It's because several senior chiefs think highly of me that they allowed me to teach those students. Otherwise, I wouldn't be qualified." Li Jin said modestly.

"Don't pretend, kid. If you don't have any skills, will those students listen to you?!" the leader said unhappily.

Those who could go to Yan'an to study were all trained to be future elites. The fact that Li Jin could become a teacher there already showed that in the eyes of several old leaders, Li Jin's ability was beyond doubt.

"Commander, the Japanese's new division is about to arrive, right?!" Li Jin quickly changed the subject, not wanting to continue this topic.

"They have already arrived. Just a few days ago, the Japanese 16th Division came. This is a Class A division, and its strength should not be underestimated. There is also the new 20th Division, although most of them are new recruits.

But once they have completed their training and gained combat experience, their strength will not be too bad, so they are still somewhat threatening!" The chief said with a serious face.

All of a sudden, the strength of the Japanese increased a lot. If the Osaka Division had not planned to go against them, it would have been even more difficult.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded and frowned. Why did he feel that the 16th Division seemed familiar?

"Commander, what is the name of the commander of the 16th Division?!" Li Jin asked. He was not sure yet whether this division was the one that participated in the massacre.

"Nakajima Imao, this guy once led the 16th Division and participated in the massacre. Although not everyone participated in the massacre, they were also closely related!" The chief slowly said the name of the Japanese division commander.

"Damn it! Fuck! This division, once they come here, don't even think about returning intact, especially this Nakajima Imao,
I will find a chance to capture him alive, and then torture him to death! To comfort those dead people!!!" Li Jin no longer cared about his image, he slammed the table, stood up, and started to curse in front of the two men.

He was filled with murderous intent, and he was finally certain that among the perpetrators of the massacre was the 16th Division, and he must not let them escape.

"Calm down first. I know you are very angry, but this matter needs long-term consideration. It is unlikely that the Special Operations Regiment alone can annihilate the 16th Division!" the chief said hurriedly.

The 16th Division has more than 20,000 people, which is far more than the number of ordinary divisions, and the weapons they possess are also extremely powerful.

Even if Li Jin could annihilate this division, the special operations regiment would probably be destroyed. He felt that it was totally not worth it to destroy the special operations regiment for the sake of such a division.

It was also the first time he saw Li Jin so angry that he even dared to swear in front of him.

"Yes, Chief, I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now." Li Jin took a deep breath and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, sit down first." The leader naturally would not be angry with Li Jin for this.

After all, Li Jin was so angry because he learned that the murderer of the massacre had arrived. It was just that his reaction was a bit too big. The sudden slap scared him.

"Commander, I will make a good plan after I go back." Li Jin said seriously. He was just too angry just now. Now that he has calmed down, he also knows that it is not an easy task to destroy the division.

"That's right. The 16th Division is quite powerful. The key is that the other side has become wary of you. It is basically impossible to fight an annihilation war like before, so we have to make long-term plans." said the leader.

It is rare for Li Jin to be able to control his emotions so quickly. Some people tend to lose their rationality once they get too excited, which is very fatal.

"Indeed, the Japanese are difficult to fight. Before the new 20th Division is fully trained, I don't think they will easily move out." Li Jin frowned.

If the 16th Division keeps hiding, it will be difficult to fight.

"Their division will most likely support the new 20th Division. Once you attack the 20th Division, they can turn around and surround you.

Therefore, do not act rashly and think of using up the manpower of the 20th Division first." The commander reminded.

To be on the safe side, the Japanese would definitely guard against Li Jin's sneak attacks when training the 20th Division. They might even think of setting a trap for Li Jin and waiting for him to fall into it.

By then, even if Li Jin could escape, he would probably suffer heavy casualties.

"Actually, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible, but the specific situation depends on how the Japanese have arranged it.
Only when I know the enemy's deployment clearly can I take targeted measures. Before that, I can only wait and see. " Li Jin thought for a while and said.

He cannot make an effective countermeasure now because the Japanese have not yet deployed their troops. Only after the Japanese are dispatched can he formulate an attack plan.

"You can make these yourself, but before you fight, you have to send me a telegram and tell me your plan." The leader agreed with what Li Jin said, but to be on the safe side, he also had to look at Li Jin's plan.

"I understand! Commander, I'm afraid I'll need the help of the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment for this operation. It's not easy to accomplish this relying solely on the Special Operations Regiment." Li Jin nodded and then put forward his own request.

He was not confident enough that he could destroy the Japanese's Class A division with his special operations regiment. However, if it was a brigade of a Class A division, he might be able to handle it.

It would be difficult to handle one more Class A brigade, so we need help.

There is no need to talk about the New 1st Regiment. It is currently the most powerful regiment except for the Special Operations Regiment, followed by the Independent Regiment.

Therefore, he will need to pull these two regiments away and carry out joint operations.

"No problem, I will let them assist you." The leader agreed without any hesitation.

Li Jin's request was not too excessive. He just asked for two regiments to be dispatched.

"If two regiments are not enough, I will transfer the 771st and 772nd Regiments to your command!" The leader continued, as long as Li Jin could destroy this Japanese division, it would be fine.

"Enough, enough. I just want the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment. Later on, I will cooperate with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army again!" Li Jin said hurriedly.

If the Japanese 20th Division wants to train its troops, it will definitely choose the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. At that time, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will most likely not choose to fight the Japanese division head-on. After all, there is still a 16th Division behind them to support them. If they dare to fight head-on, it will be easy for something to happen.

"Boy, you don't want to swallow up these two divisions in one breath, do you?!" the leader couldn't help but say when he heard it.

"Don't have such an appetite, or you'll end up being too greedy!" The political commissar also began to advise.

In his opinion, it would be enough for Li Jin to defeat the 16th Division, and forget about the other division. "We can give it a try when the time comes, and if it doesn't work, we can withdraw. The main target is still the 16th Division of the devil." Li Jin didn't have such big ambitions.

In fact, he only wanted to capture Nakajima Imao and kill half of the people in the 16th Division.

"That's good. You should take it easy and don't do anything reckless." The leader felt relieved after hearing this.

"I understand!" Li Jin nodded quickly.

"It's getting late. Let's rest at the brigade headquarters tonight and set off tomorrow." The leader suggested. Li Jin was able to come back so quickly, he must have not had much rest in the past few days and had been on the road all the time.

Therefore, he also wanted Li Jin to have a good rest for the night before setting off tomorrow.

"Commander, I won't stay in the brigade headquarters today. I will continue on my journey and will just sleep for one night at the New 1st Regiment!" Li Jin shook his head. He had to talk to Li Yunlong about this first.

"Okay, then you go first." After hearing this, the leader no longer forced him.

"Chief, Political Commissar, I'm leaving first!" Li Jin stood up and saluted the two of them before turning around and leaving the meeting room.

"This kid Li Jin is getting bolder and bolder. He even dares to attack the Japanese's Class A division. I wouldn't even dare to think about this in the past." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, if Li Jin can really defeat the Japanese's Class A division this time, he will be famous." The leader also nodded.

The Class A Division is the most elite division of the Japanese. If it is destroyed by Li Jin, it would be big news.

"If he really did it, I guess the guy from the National Army would probably be unable to sit still." The political commissar said with a smile.

"Of course, especially since Li Jin has been fighting the Japanese as part of the Northeast Army, it's easy for him to lose sleep." The leader said with a smile on his face.

That person has been targeting the Northeast Army. Not only did he not provide them with supplies during the war, he also made them fight the most difficult battles. He did not regard the Northeast Army as human beings at all.

No wonder so many Northeast Army soldiers chose to leave the army. Not to mention getting fair treatment, they should at least be given some supplies.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people leaving. In the past two years, they have recruited a lot of Northeast Army soldiers who had left the Eighth Route Army.

"However, I think that the credit will probably go to the Jinsui Army, and they will never reward Li Jin.

We can only mention it briefly here, but he won't let anyone else take such a great credit." The political commissar frowned and said.

"It doesn't matter. We don't care about these things. Fake is fake after all. As long as the local people know that things are not as what the newspapers say, it's enough." The leader didn't care about this matter that much.

"Yes." The political commissar nodded, and then said: "It's fine for Li Jin to ask the New 1st Regiment for help, but it doesn't seem appropriate to transfer the Independent Regiment over there. They are still responsible for protecting the headquarters. It would not be good if they left."

"It's okay. Just let the 772nd Regiment take over the defense. Don't forget that there is still a special operations company in the headquarters. This unit will not be much worse than the previous special operations company." The leader said with a smile.

If it weren't for this special operations company, he would not have agreed to let Li Jin transfer the independent regiment at that time.

"Yes, with the special operations company here, plus the 772nd Regiment, it is more than enough to protect the safety of the headquarters." The political commissar also nodded.

.........

"Captain, why are you coming out so soon? Aren't we going to stay at the brigade headquarters for one night?!" Lu Changgong couldn't help but ask after he walked out of the village.

Usually at this time, they would stay overnight and then leave the next day. Why has it changed now?

"No need to stay here, we're in a hurry." Li Jin shook his head.

"Captain, could it be that the leader didn't want to keep us?!" Lu Changgong asked tentatively. He thought that it was the leader who asked the commander to hurry on.

"What are you thinking about? The chief naturally asked to keep you, but I think things are more important now, so I didn't keep you!" Li Jin said unhappily.

I don't know what Lu Changgong is thinking about every day. Given his relationship with the leader, how could he be kicked out?

"Captain, what's the urgent matter? Are we going to fight the Japanese?!" Lu Changgong asked.

"It is indeed related to the Japanese..." Li Jin simply stated the matter.

.........

At around 2:30 in the morning, Li Jin and his team arrived at the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others were waiting in the yard, yawning.

"What's the matter with this kid Li Jin? He didn't rest in the brigade headquarters late at night and rushed here overnight." Deputy Captain Qian couldn't help yawning again while speaking.

"Could it be that he pissed off the chief, so the chief didn't keep him and he was forced to leave overnight?!" Li Yunlong laughed, and it seemed like he was actually gloating.

"Do you think it's possible?! You think it's you." Chief of Staff Zhong responded directly without giving Li Yunlong any face.

If the leader said that he would not keep Li Yunlong, he would believe it, but if he said that he would not keep Li Jin, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

"That's true. I wasn't kicked out by the leader." Li Yunlong looked embarrassed.

"I don't know who it is. He also rushed back in the early morning last time." Deputy Captain Qian interjected.

“Haha…” Zhao Gang couldn’t help but burst out laughing after hearing this.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh. What's so funny?" Li Yunlong said unhappily.

"But to be honest, Li Jin did not rest in the brigade headquarters this time. Instead, he rushed here overnight. I think something big might be happening, otherwise Li Jin would never be so anxious." Chief of Staff Zhong said seriously.

In his opinion, if there was no big event, Li Jin would never rush like this.

"Hey, do you think it could be related to the new Japanese division?!" Zhao Gang thought of something at this time and said directly.

A few days ago, the leader called Li Yunlong and gave him an order, asking them to be on high alert because two Japanese divisions were approaching.
