Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Old Li, calm down. Since you've already agreed to let Sun Desheng come, stop thinking about those unnecessary things." Zhao Gang couldn't help but comfort him.

The soldiers in the cavalry company are not all soldiers, they are just of different arms. This battle is of great importance and nothing can go wrong easily.

More troops are a good thing, and although the soldiers in the cavalry company do not have war horses, their combat effectiveness is not weak and they can be of great help.

"Yeah, forget it. I'm too lazy to think about it so much." After hearing this, Li Yunlong had no choice but to say nothing more.

.........

A few days later, deep in Yunling Mountain.

Kong Jie was waiting here with a battalion of troops.

"Why hasn't Li Yunlong come yet?" Kong Jie was getting a little impatient. He had been waiting for Li Yunlong for three days.

"Old Kong, it should be done soon, just be patient." Li Wenying said on the side.

Calculating the time, Li Yunlong will probably arrive today.

"Go send a telegram to that guy and ask him where he is." Kong Jie ordered.

"It shouldn't be that serious!" Li Wenying felt helpless.

"Go quickly." Kong Jie urged.

"Okay." When Li Wenying was about to send a telegram, there was a movement from the walkie-talkie on Kong Jie's waist!
"Lao Kong, I'm only about ten miles away from you." Li Yunlong's voice came from the intercom.

"Damn it, why are you so slow? I've been waiting for a long time!" Kong Jie cursed.

"There's nothing I can do, Lao Kong. You know I'm on the other side, and the Japanese are on high alert against me. If I'm not careful, what if I get discovered? According to the plan, it's not time for me to be discovered yet." Li Yunlong also explained!

"Okay, okay, stop talking so much and come here quickly!" Kong Jie said unhappily.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Li Yunlong finally brought people over.

"Haha, Lao Kong, long time no see!" Li Yunlong walked forward with laughter.

"You are so shameless, you dare to make me wait for you for several days!" Kong Jie came up and started to blame.

"Hey, Old Kong, didn't I explain the reason to you? Don't be so stingy. I'll listen to you drinking after the war." Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were arm in arm. He felt a little embarrassed for making Kong Jie wait for him for so long.

"Don't give me that. You're sending me away with just a drink!" Kong Jie replied.

"Then what do you think we should do?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Talk less!" Kong Jie said seriously.

"Okay, not to mention two meals, three meals will do!" Li Yunlong agreed immediately. Anyway, he was rich and didn't really care about these meals of wine.

"Captain Kong, Political Commissar Li!" Zhao Gang came over at this time and saluted Kong Jie and Li Wenying, and the two of them quickly saluted back.

They were not very familiar with Zhao Gang, so they could not joke with him like they could with Li Yunlong.

"Old Li, is Li Jin's target this time the Japanese 20th Division or the 16th Division?!" Kong Jie got back to the business, which he was more concerned about.

He also knew that given the relationship between Li Yunlong and Li Jin, the other party would definitely tell Li Yunlong the real purpose.

"How about you guess?!" Li Yunlong kept the secret.

"I'm too lazy to guess, just tell me, who is his target?" Kong Jie didn't want to play around with these twists and turns.

"The Sixteenth Division!" Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

"Hiss... It really is the 16th Division. Why is Li Jin targeting the 16th Division? Is there a grudge? This is a Class A division with strong combat effectiveness." Kong Jie took a breath and asked.

Although he also guessed Li Jin's purpose, which was most likely the 16th Division, he was still shocked after it was confirmed.

Li Jin chose not to attack the 20th Division, which was his best attack group, but the 16th Division, which was a Class A division. He didn't believe that there was no grudge between them.

"Old Kong, you are right. There is indeed a grudge and it not only belongs to Li Jin, but also to us soldiers!" Li Yunlong replied.

"What's going on?!" Kong Jie frowned, not quite understanding what Li Yunlong meant. The 16th Division had fought against the Independent Regiment, so why did Li Yunlong say it was related to him?

"This is what happened..." Li Yunlong quickly told everything that the 16th Division had done.

"What?! Damn, they are one of the culprits?!" Kong Jie started cursing after hearing this.

"No wonder Li Jin has set his sights on the 16th Division. However, I'm still a little curious about how Li Jin is going to deal with the 16th Division?!" Li Wenying could now understand Li Jin.

Not to mention Li Jin, even they wanted to kill the Japanese from the 16th Division.

"The leader should have told you the general plan. As for the specific plan, we'll have to wait until Li Jin and the others meet up." Li Yunlong said slowly.

The detailed plan cannot be explained clearly over the phone, so it would be best to let Li Jin talk to them in person.

"Yeah." Kong Jie nodded.

"Let's go and meet Li Jin!" Li Yunlong said. There was not much time to reminisce now.

It will probably not be long before the Japanese will launch an attack on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s garrison.

.........

It is located in the mountains about twenty miles north of Taiyuan.

Lu Changgong led his men to ambush here. They had seen the Japanese transport teams transporting things to Taiyuan several times in the past few days, but they had not taken any action against the Japanese transport teams because they were worried that it would alert the Japanese.

By then, it would be unlikely for them to attack the Japanese transport team carrying biological bombs.

"Battalion Commander, do you think the Japanese's biological weapons transport team has already arrived in Taiyuan and we don't know about it?" said the deputy battalion commander Jiang Qiu.

He was really worried that the Japanese would get their hands on biological weapons.

"It shouldn't be that serious. Let's wait a little longer. The commander said not to act rashly and to wait for his orders." Lu Changgong was also a little worried.

Although he had never seen the Japanese's biological weapons, the regiment commander specially distributed gas masks to them before they set off, which showed how much importance he attached to this operation.

"Understood!" Jiang Qiu nodded. All they could do now was to wait.

.........

386th Brigade, in the meeting room. The leader was reviewing documents, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

"Are you worried about the Japanese's biological weapons?!" said the political commissar.

"Well, I'm not worried about anything else, except the Japanese's biological weapons, which are a big problem." The leader nodded in acknowledgment.

Even if the Japanese sent planes and cannons, he would not worry about Li Jin and the others.

"Don't worry. Li Jin is already prepared. They have made gas masks. Even if the Japanese get biological weapons, they can't cause any harm to Li Jin and his team." The political commissar comforted.

"It's hard to say." The chief shook his head. Who knows if the enemy's biological weapons have become more powerful? What if even the gas masks can't stop them?

He still hoped that the intelligence personnel would have information about biological weapons so that he could destroy the weapons in advance.

"Chief, Chief, the boss called!" A communicator ran in hurriedly to report.

The chief immediately stood up and walked out, and the political commissar quickly followed him, and the two of them soon arrived at the communications room.

"Boss, is there any news from the intelligence personnel?!" the leader asked as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Yes, the Japanese really have a batch of biological weapons shipped from the Northeast to Taiyuan by train. They will probably arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow!" said the boss with a serious face.

"What?! The Japanese actually used trains to transport biological weapons?!" the leader said in surprise.

"Yes, it seems that the Japanese also want to deliver the biological weapons to the Japanese in Taiyuan as soon as possible.
If we really want to do it, we can only do it on the train. Once the train enters the station, if the biological weapons explode, many people will die.

Moreover, there are many civilians on this train, so it is extremely difficult to move around!" The boss explained the difficulty of this mission.

"So, my advice is, don't do it. The risk factor is too high. Once an accident happens, it will affect many ordinary people!" the boss said slowly.

"For the safety of the people, it seems we have to give up. The reason the Japanese transported it this way is probably because they are afraid that Li Jin and others will take action." The chief couldn't help but sigh.

As a result, Li Jin's mission against the 16th Division became more difficult.

"The Japanese were frightened by Li Jin's attack. If they are not transported in this way, they are afraid that their biological weapons will be stolen and used on them." said the boss.

"Now we can only hope that the gas masks made by Li Jin and his team are useful, or that Li Jin and his team can wipe out the Japanese before they use biological weapons!" The chief was somewhat helpless.

The Japanese deliberately used trains carrying civilians to transport biological weapons, which made them a little cautious. They couldn't possibly ignore the civilians on the train.

If the vehicles were filled with Japanese soldiers, they would give the order to act without any hesitation.

"What gas mask?!" the boss asked in confusion.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that Li Jin's arsenal produced gas masks, which were used when Xu Qingfeng led his team to attack the Japanese laboratory.
They seized a batch of gas masks from the laboratory and then copied them, which should be of some use. "The chief quickly told the story. He had forgotten to tell the boss about it in the past few days.

"They are really powerful. It seems that we need to equip each unit with some gas masks, otherwise we will be unable to deal with the Japanese's biological weapons in the future!" The boss made the decision immediately.

"What the boss said is true. Then I will send a telegram to Li Jin and ask him to cancel the plan against the Japanese's biological weapons!" said the leader. Li Jin is probably still waiting for his news.

"Well, go ahead." The boss said and hung up the phone.

The leader took out a pen and paper, wrote down the contents of the telegram, and then asked the telegraph operator to send it to Li Jin.

.........

Tianli Mountains, the base of the special operations regiment.

Li Jin was in the operations room, staring at the huge sand table in front of him in a daze. This sand table was built based on the garrison situation of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

He has been simulating possible unexpected events in the war these days, and then making adjustments to make the plan more perfect.

"Captain, we've simulated this many times so there shouldn't be any problem." Xu Qingfeng said on the side.

"No, I have to think about eliminating all hidden dangers as much as possible before the battle!" Li Jin said seriously.

In this battle, the number of people he had to command reached more than 15,000, almost 16,000 people, so he dared not be careless at all.

If there were any flaws in the plan, the number of casualties would be in the thousands.

He could also understand how strong the ability required was to command a large army in battle.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded when he heard that. This was also the first time that Li Jin commanded so many people to fight, so he was still a little nervous.

"Captain, there's a telegram from the leader." The telegraph operator ran in and handed the telegram to Li Jin for inspection.

Soon, Li Jin finished reading the content of the telegram and frowned.

"What did the chief say?!" Xu Qingfeng asked. He also realized that the problem might be a little serious, otherwise Li Jin would not be like this.

"The Japanese did send a batch of biological weapons to Taiyuan, but they were transported by train, and moreover, they were transported by train carrying civilians!
Once the action is taken, if there is any mistake, all the people on the train will die." Li Jin explained the situation.

"Damn it! These bastards actually used such a trick! Don't they worry about the leakage of biological weapons? Their people will die too!" After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but curse.

He really didn't expect that the Japanese would choose this method of transportation, or rather, he didn't expect that the Japanese would use the people as a shield.

As long as there are civilians on the train, they dare not attack the train.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that. It seems that we can only follow the leader's order and cancel the plan to seize the enemy's biological weapons." Li Jin sighed.

He had originally thought of seizing the Japanese's biological weapons and then dropping them into their positions to kill them. But now it seems that this plan has completely failed.

"It's okay. We have gas masks anyway. We don't have to be afraid of them even if the Japanese throw biological weapons at us!" Xu Qingfeng said. By then, the Japanese won't know this, and they will rush forward foolishly. What awaits them will only be the baptism of machine guns and artillery shells.

"Well, failing to seize the Japanese's biological weapons doesn't have much impact on my plan." Li Jin nodded and said.

Since you can’t snatch it anyway, there’s no need to think about it anymore, so as not to affect your mood.

"Speaking of which, biological weapons will arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow. Does that mean that the Japanese will take action in the next few days?!" Xu Qingfeng said.

The Japanese had not taken any action before, probably because they were waiting for the arrival of biological weapons. Now that the weapons have arrived, it is time for them to take action.

"How many gas masks have been produced now? We must ensure that each of our soldiers has a gas mask." Li Jin asked, and Xu Qingfeng was watching all this.

"Don't worry. We have already manufactured more than 13,000 gas masks. In three days, we can reach about 17,000." Xu Qingfeng told the story. He had been keeping an eye on the progress of the arsenal during this period and did not dare to be careless.

"Then there's no problem. Old Xu, go send a telegram to Lu Changgong to notify them to come back." Li Jin said to Xu Qingfeng.
