Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"What happened to Nakajima Imao?!" the chief asked, changing the subject.

"We cut him dozens of times and then had him taken back to the base. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't torture this little Japanese to death." Li Jin told the story.

"Well, our intelligence personnel sent us news that the Japanese have held a memorial service for Nakajima Imaogo in Taiyuan. It seems that they really think that Nakajima Imaogo is dead." The leader said this.

"Do they really think that the body is Nakajima Imao's?!" Li Jin was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he thought the Japanese would recognize it, but he didn't expect that the Japanese didn't recognize it.

In order to make the Japanese soldiers think that the corpse was Nakajima Imago, Li Jin deliberately did not remove the Japanese soldiers' shoulder straps, so that the Japanese soldiers would see the shoulder straps and think it was Nakajima Imago.

"I guess they cremated the body on the way back to Taiyuan. After all, the weather is not suitable for keeping the body for a long time as it will stink." The leader also roughly guessed that the Japanese did not have enough time to verify whether the body was Nakajima Imao's.

After all, the Japanese were in a hurry to retreat at that time, so who had so much time to check whether it was Nakajima Imao?

"That should be the case. When the Japanese retreated, they were probably worried that I would attack them again along the way. In this case, it would be a risky thing for them to cremate the bodies first." Li Jin nodded and said.

"By the way, have you gone to see Commander Yan? How's the situation? Commander Yan is, after all, the commander of this war zone. It's better not to offend him if you can." The leader asked again.

"Commander, you don't know that Li Jin didn't go there to apologize. He went there to make Commander Yan owe him a favor." Li Yunlong said.

“Ah?! Owe someone a favor?! How do you mean?” The chief was stunned when he heard that.

"This is what happened..." Li Yunlong excitedly repeated everything Li Jin had said, as if he were also on the battlefield.

After listening to what Li Yunlong said, the leader was a little amused. If other people heard it, they would probably feel that they owed someone a favor.

"Li Jin, you're great. You can turn black into white. That's great!" The political commissar couldn't help but give Li Jin a thumbs up.

"Hehe, I'm doing this for their own good. Anyway, I won't admit that I've done anything to cheat them." Li Jin said with a smile.

No matter what, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did take advantage this time, so he didn't need to apologize or anything.

"Come to think of it, Commander Yan wanted to invite me to join them, but I refused." Li Jin continued.

"Given your ability, it's completely understandable that he wants to invite you. After all, there are only a few talented people like you." The political commissar praised Li Jin, making him feel a little embarrassed.

"The conditions offered by Commander Yan should not be low, right?!" the leader also laughed.

"He asked me to be the army commander, and even said, intentionally or unintentionally, that he might let me lead the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the future." Li Jin did not hide it and told the story.

"You are appointed as the army commander right away. What a big deal." Li Yunlong felt envious after hearing this. This is the position of army commander. Many people who can become army commanders are basically in their thirties or forties, and some are even over fifty.

There are not many people like him who are in their twenties and can serve as army commanders, except for a few old leaders of the Eighth Route Army. What's more, Commander Yan actually wants Li Jin to take charge of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Isn't this looking at him as a successor?

"What's the matter, Li Yunlong? Do you also want Commander Yan to extend an olive branch to you? Do you want me to say hello to Commander Yan?!" The leader joked with a smile.

"No, no, no, I'm not interested!" Li Yunlong waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to join the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Even if he was offered the condition of becoming an army commander, he would not go.

"Commander, why don't we let Li Jin go undercover in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army? If Li Jin really takes charge of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the future, it will be a great help to us." The political commissar couldn't help but say. He felt that this might be a possible solution.

"Forget it. It's still unclear whether we can manage the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. I'm afraid things will become complicated after Li Jin goes there. The situation there is too complicated." The chief shook his head. Besides, it would be a waste of talent to let a talent like Li Jin go undercover.

The key is that it is still troublesome to clear the undercover identity in the future. After returning, various investigations and inquiries must be carried out to prevent the undercover agent from betraying the company halfway.

Although he believed that Li Jin would not betray, some people might not believe it. When the time comes, he would still have to investigate what needed to be investigated.

"Then forget it." The political commissar thought of something after hearing this and gave up the idea.

"Now let's talk about the follow-up operations. This major operation is divided into three phases. The first phase is to destroy the Zhengtai Road, which is mainly to destroy the enemy's transportation cities, railways and highways.
Break the Japanese's cage policy. Because of you, the Japanese are hiding in the county town and dare not come out easily.
But before that, they still occupied a lot of important roads and divided some of our bases into pieces.

If we allow the Japanese to continue to develop, sooner or later, it will cause some trouble, so action is urgent!" The leader slowly spoke of the first phase of the major operation.

If it weren't for Li Jin, the Japanese plan would have been carried out more smoothly.

"In fact, it was mainly because of the conflict between the National Army and us that gave the Japanese an opportunity. However, now the Japanese have lost this opportunity." The political commissar said that the Japanese sped up the progress because they saw the disharmony between the two sides.

However, the Japanese suffered heavy losses this time, which in turn caused their plans to be stranded for a period of time.

"Alas... the National Army still feels that we are a bigger threat after all." Li Jin sighed. The one in the National Army was worried that they would become bigger and stronger, so they kept restricting them and even went so far as to create conflicts.

Although it was later explained to be a misunderstanding, it was a pity for the soldiers who died in the conflict. They did not sacrifice themselves on the way to fighting the Japanese, but instead died at the hands of their own people because of that soldier from the National Army. It was truly a pity.

"They have always believed this. If it weren't for the incident, the Kuomintang soldier would definitely continue to target us." The political commissar continued.

For the Kuomintang soldier, compared to destroying the Japanese devils, he did not want to see the Eighth Route Army become stronger, because he knew that the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness and will were very strong.

"Yes, I know that guy better." The chief nodded. He used to be a guard for the Kuomintang soldier and even saved his life.

"Let's not talk about that, let's continue with the plan. After discussing with the boss, we decided to take action in mid-to-late August.
At that time, your three regiments must focus on destroying the enemy's railways. Destroy as many as you can. Of course, don't forget the roads!" The leader began to instruct.

If the Special Operations Regiment and the New First Regiment Independent Regiment fight together, the results will be even greater. The key is that they have a tacit understanding. "Chief, you mean, I will also act together with the Special Operations Regiment, right?!" Kong Jie asked hurriedly. He was thinking about how to bring up this matter with the chief, but he didn't expect the chief to bring it up himself.

"Well, the independent regiment should also practice well. Let's make a big fuss. Of course, don't make it too big, and the main thing is not to involve other troops.
The combat effectiveness of other troops is not as strong as yours!" The leader continued to remind him. He was worried that Li Jin and his men would break the law and take other troops with them. At that time, Li Jin and his men would easily take the troops away, and other troops would suffer.

"Don't worry, Commander. I know what I'm doing and other troops will not be implicated!" Li Jin also quickly made a guarantee.

"You'd better be aware of this. This operation is of great importance. If anything goes wrong, you might be in big trouble." The chief couldn't help but say. Now he still wanted to be on guard against Li Jin, for fear that Li Jin might accidentally cause trouble that would make him feel dizzy.

"Understood!" Li Jin responded.

"Also, in this battle, we will only attack the Jinsui Army, but the Jinsui Army may think that we are just making a small fuss.

You should have a good talk with Commander Yan about cooperating again. If the Shanxi Suiyuan Army gets involved, things will be much simpler. "The leader ordered. He knew very well that the Shanxi Suiyuan Army would not easily cooperate with them.

However, if Li Jin is here, the probability that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will agree is still very high!

"Leave it to me, but I can't guarantee that Commander Yan will agree to cooperate. After all, the casualties on the Shanxi-Suiyuan side were not small when fighting the 20th Division.

Therefore, Commander Yan may not even give me face. " Li Jin said that he was not completely sure to persuade the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to cooperate.

Unless he threatens Commander Yan again.

But threats can only be made once. If it happens again, Commander Yan will definitely not agree. The other party is the commander of the theater after all. How can he be threatened again and again?

If the other party is really pushed into a corner, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, threatening again will not work. Li Jin has to go in person to discuss cooperation.

"I believe they will agree, because you have the so-called Northeast Army, and you have also demonstrated your ability. If you all participate,

That means this cooperation is still very necessary! If nothing else, just to make my own military exploits greater and my reputation bigger! "The leader smiled as he spoke.

Li Jin has made a lot of contributions to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Commander Yan probably also got a lot of good things from the Kuomintang soldier.

"What the leader said is true," said Li Jin.

"In fact, the reason why we let you guys make a big fuss is to give other troops a chance. As soon as you show up, the Japanese will definitely treat you as a formidable enemy.
Even if they don't fight you, they will send people to help you.
Moreover, intelligence personnel sent information that the Japanese commander in North China had sent a large number of troops abroad half a year ago.

According to analysis, this force of the Japanese has about 2,000 people, and they have been specially trained abroad. Their combat effectiveness is probably not weaker than that of the Japanese Class A division, and may even be comparable to the special operations regiment.

Therefore, you have to be responsible for attracting this Japanese army and annihilating them! Moreover, I estimate that the Japanese will also let this army participate in the encirclement and suppression of you!" The leader said slowly.

The combat effectiveness of other troops is far inferior to that of the special operations regiment. If other troops encounter the troops secretly trained by the Japanese, the result is self-evident. They will have no power to resist.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will definitely not keep this unit alive for too long!" Li Jin made the promise. If he guessed correctly, this unit was the Yamamoto Special Attack Team.

However, he did not expect that the number of people in this troop would reach two thousand or even more, so the subsequent operations would still be somewhat difficult!
"That's good." The leader nodded.

Not only he but also the general manager and several old leaders attached great importance to this major operation. They also participated in the command. It can be imagined how important the matter is.

"That's it for now. You can rest in the brigade headquarters for one night, and then go back to your base tomorrow." The chief waved his hand, signaling them to leave the meeting room. He had given them all the instructions they needed to, and he had no intention of letting them stay any longer.

"By the way, give me the list of casualties in this battle." The leader called a few more people.

Several people quickly handed the things to the leader.

"The families of these fallen soldiers must be given pensions without delay." The chief took the list of casualties, took a quick look at it, and gave instructions.

"Chief, we will start as soon as we come back!" Li Yunlong said. The first thing they did when they came back was to ask someone to prepare things for the family members.

Although the pension was not particularly large, it was not small either. In addition to the money, they also prepared food to send over!
"Yes." The leader nodded and Li Jin and the others left.

"Old Li, you don't need to say this. The commander has ordered the independent regiment to follow Li Jin's special operations regiment." Kong Jie couldn't help but say as soon as he walked out the door.

He had previously thought that he might owe Li Yunlong a favor, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.

"We can only say that the commander has foresight and anticipated this." Li Yunlong said. As for Kong Jie, the other party is not here to cause trouble, so it is okay to let them follow.

.........

In the conference room, after several people left, the political commissar spoke up: "I don't think this unit secretly trained by the Japanese is too weak. It may even be stronger than the special combat regiment.

If this is the case, the Japanese secret forces, in cooperation with other forces, will definitely be able to compete with the special operations group. "

"After all, they were transferred abroad for training, so their combat effectiveness is probably not weak. Otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't take them so seriously. Especially when the commander of their Class A division was killed, the Japanese would be even more wary. If they don't have any trump cards, they would be too stupid." The leader analyzed.

A secret force. Just by hearing the name, you can tell that this force is not simple, so we have to be on guard against it.
