Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"By the way, where is Li Jin? Why didn't you see him?! Is he still at the brigade headquarters?" Deputy Commander Qian asked. Li Jin went to the regiment headquarters with Li Yunlong, but now only Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are back.

"The boy sent me back here and he has already gone to Taiyuan." Li Yunlong said. He originally wanted Li Jin to come to the regiment headquarters to rest for a night and go back tomorrow, but Li Jin refused.

"That's good. He probably still has some things to deal with after he returns." Staff Officer Zhong nodded and said.

Li Jin came back this time to attack the Beishan Mine. Now that the matter is over, it is time to return to Taiyuan.

"Damn it, you don't know how brave this kid is. In front of the brigade commander, he even dares to make plans for Taiyuan." Li Yunlong said.

"Ah?! This guy wants to attack Taiyuan?!" Deputy Commander Qian was also stunned for a moment.

"If the regiment leader said to attack Taiyuan, I wouldn't believe it, but if this guy said it, I really believe it. He really has the courage!" Staff Officer Zhong also said.

Li Yunlong said that he wanted to fight Taiyuan, but that was just for fun. If he really wanted to fight, he didn't have any capital, so Li Yunlong didn't dare to move. After all, Taiyuan was not that easy to fight.

But when Li Jin said he would attack Taiyuan, he would really believe it. After all, this kid caused a lot of trouble in Wuhan.

"Damn it, who are you looking down on!" Li Yunlong said in dissatisfaction. It's just Taiyuan. He will wait for one or two divisions in his hand and attack them in a minute.

"Then what will the brigade commander say next?! You don't really agree, do you?" Deputy Commander Qian asked.

"What are you thinking about? How can you agree? With our current strength, there is no point in fighting Taiyuan.

The Japs are now at their peak. Even if Li Jin holds off most of the Japs and captures Taiyuan for us, we still won't be able to hold it.
The key is that they will be surrounded by Japanese soldiers coming from other directions, making it difficult to hold on. "Li Yunlong said.

If Li Jin wanted to attack other less important cities, the brigade commander might agree in a minute, but where is Taiyuan? It is the base camp of the Japanese here.

How can it be so easy to fight if you pull a hair and move the whole body?

Even if we just attack and retreat, we can't evacuate them. There are too many people who need to be mobilized.

To block enemy reinforcements from all directions, this alone would probably require mobilizing more than half of the army's base area, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

"That's true." Deputy Commander Qian nodded.

"However, the brigade commander agreed that if the Japanese are no longer able to survive and a full-scale counterattack is about to begin, they can cooperate with Li Jin to defeat Taiyuan." Li Yunlong thought for a while and said.

He felt that compared with attacking Taiyuan now, it would be more suitable to fight a comprehensive counterattack in the future.

Because, by that time, it has been shown that the Japanese are not very good, so yes, the key is that after taking Taiyuan, it will be of great benefit to them in the future.

"Who knows when the Japs will be gone," Deputy Commander Qian said. He didn't know how many years it would take to launch a full-scale counterattack.

"Anyway, I don't think it will be long. The devil's country is a small country after all, and supplies won't last long.
I dare say that within 20 years, the Japanese will never be able to survive! "Li Yunlong said directly.

Fighting an ordinary small battle requires consuming a lot of materials, let alone fighting one after another, which is even more.

Moreover, the battle line is too long, and material supply is also a problem and takes time. If things go on like this, the Japanese will definitely not be able to hold on for long.

"The leader is right. When the devils can no longer support a major war, that is when we will fight back. This day will not be too far away!" Zhao Gang also agreed.

He always believed that the small country of the Japanese army could not survive for long. If a python swallows an elephant, there will be no other result except to die of its belly.

"I don't know if we will still be there in 20 years." Staff Officer Zhong laughed.

"Never mind him. If he is here, he will continue to work against the Japanese. If he is not here, we can't control him too much." Li Yunlong said, he was careless and had already taken life and death lightly.

Anyway, for Li Yunlong, one thing will not change. As long as he is alive and the Japanese are still in China, he will kill the Japanese every day. This will not change.

"You're right, but in 20 years, I guess this guy Li Jin will be a high official, right?!" Deputy Commander Qian said with a smile.

Li Jin has almost become a regiment leader now. As long as he doesn't commit any major crimes in 20 years, becoming a high official will definitely not be a problem.

After all, brigade commanders now attach great importance to Li Jin. When Li Jin reaches party age, he will definitely be promoted along the way. Li Jin will definitely be able to become the regiment leader in one or two years at the latest.

"It goes without saying that his official position is probably higher than ours." Staff Officer Zhong said in a positive tone.

Li Jinli's contributions are very great. Just writing the new infantry drill code has already increased their overall strength, and there are other various contributions added together!
Li Jinli will have more contributions in the future, and it is expected that he will be promoted to a high official.

"If I am still alive in 20 years, I will definitely have a high official position. I will need a division commander no matter what." Li Yunlong also said.

He felt that he would definitely be promoted to a senior official in the future, not to mention commander, at least to the level of military commander.

"Hahaha... Captain, you really dare to think about it." Everyone laughed.

Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile. He liked this atmosphere very much. When there was a war, he would brag occasionally.

"Hey, Old Zhao, you didn't say anything bad about me in front of the brigade commander, did you?" Li Yunlong suddenly changed the subject and looked at Zhao Gang.

When the brigade commander talked to Zhao Gang alone, he must have asked what Zhao Gang thought of him.

"That's not the case. I'm just telling the truth. I say what I should say and don't say what I shouldn't." Zhao Gang said directly.

The thing he said shouldn't be said was the matter of Li Yunlong's warning shot. Since he promised not to say it, he wouldn't say it.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhao, I was just joking, don't take it too seriously!" Li Yunlong laughed and patted Zhao Gang on the shoulder.

Zhao Gang did not say anything bad about him, that is, he failed to withstand the pressure of the brigade commander and was deceived by the brigade commander.

"No." Zhao Gang shook his head. It was understandable that Li Yunlong would think so.

"Okay, that's all. You guys should be busy with whatever you need to do." Li Yunlong waved his hands, got up and left.

The three of them looked at each other, and Deputy Commander Qian was the first to ask: "What did you say about the regimental commander in front of the brigade commander?!"

He was a little curious about this. What would Zhao Gang say in front of the brigade commander? !
"The words are a little rude, but he is very good at directing the battle and managing the affairs of the regiment well. He just drinks a little bit from time to time. It is a small problem, but it does not affect the big things." Zhao Gang said.

He didn't tell the brigade commander about Li Yunlong's drinking, because the brigade commander must have known, so it didn't make any sense whether he said it or not, as long as Li Yunlong didn't drink during the war.

For drinking during the war, the brigade commander would not spare Li Yunlong lightly. If he missed the opportunity and caused heavy casualties, Li Yunlong might be killed by the brigade commander.

Of course, Li Yunlong is also a measured person. He knows the seriousness of the matter and will not commit such a trivial matter, so the brigade commander turns a blind eye.

At this time, outside the door, Li Yunlong overheard this and smiled. What Zhao Gang said was indeed the truth.The other party did not make a report to the brigade commander in a jealous way. For this reason alone, Zhao Gang had a strong appetite for Li Yunlong and could be a good match.

Li Yunlong turned around and left the conference room, humming a tune.

.........

Four days later, Taiyuan, Liujia Village.

After several days of long journey, Li Jin, Xu Qingfeng and the others finally came back.

Several company commanders were already waiting in the conference room. They came back only two days earlier than Li Jin. As for the soldiers, they asked them to return to the base first.

"Everyone is here?!" Li Jin walked into the conference room and saw several company commanders, and said with a smile on his lips.

"Batalion Commander! Deputy Battalion Commander!" Several people stood up quickly and planned to salute.

"Okay, okay, no need to do this, just sit down." Li Jin said, there is no need to have too many etiquettes during the meeting, it's troublesome.

The crowd sat down.

"Batalion Commander, do you have any instructions from the brigade commander when we go to the brigade headquarters this time?!" Zhao Ming, the second company commander, asked, and everyone else also looked at Li Jin.

"Yes, I just wanted to tell you this. The brigade commander said that the Hengshi Mine must be knocked down in a while.
At the same time, we must also capture the Japanese arsenal! "Li Jin said.

He could tell that the brigade commander attached great importance to the materials in this arsenal, and it would be best if he could capture them.

Everyone nodded. Now the new recruits in the special operations battalion have been trained and their combat effectiveness is very good. After the brigade commander knows this, he will ask the battalion commander to rescue the people and take down the arsenal. It is normal. They are still very confident. .

"Besides this, does the brigade commander have any other instructions?!" Tang Zizheng also asked.

"Why, if the brigade commander has no other instructions, do you have other ideas? Old Tang." After hearing this, Li Jin said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's not really an idea. It's just that after the soldiers are trained, it's time to cause trouble for the Japanese. I feel like just attacking the mines and arsenal is not enough." Tang Zizheng said with a smile.

"Do you think so too?!" Li Jin looked at the other company commanders.

"Well, it's time to teach the Japanese a lesson." Liu Changshun nodded.

"In the past, if you didn't cause trouble with the Japanese, it was because your soldiers were not trained well. But now it's different. If your soldiers are well trained, if you don't cause trouble with the Japanese, your training will be in vain."

"You can't say that. Soldiers still need to train, but the Japanese also need to fight."

Others also spoke up.

"The brigade commander does have other instructions." Li Jin nodded and said.

"What's the instruction? Is it also to fight the Japanese?!" Liu Changshun asked.

If you're also fighting Japanese enemies, that's fine.

"Well, the brigade commander wants us to cause trouble here and focus the Japs' attention on our side.
Let other troops take the pressure off and have enough time to develop. "Li Jin told the story.

"Isn't this a bit dangerous?!" Zhao Ming hesitated and said, drawing all the attention of the devils here to them. The danger at this point is still quite high.

"What are you afraid of? In the worst case, we will hide in the mountains. The bigger the trouble, the better, so that the Japanese can only focus on us." Liu Changshun said.

If you want to draw the Japs' attention to them, you must not cause too much trouble, otherwise the Japs will think they are little shrimps.

"The key is that we have a base. What if we really piss off the Japs and send a large force to sweep us away?!

We can run away if we want, but what about the villagers in the base area? !We can't leave them behind! " Zhao Ming said.

He was not afraid of the Japanese encirclement and suppression, but he was worried that the people in the base area would be implicated by them.

You know, many of the soldiers in their special operations camp were recruited from the base area. If the base area was raided by the Japanese because of this, he was worried about what problems would happen. Even if it was just a possibility, it was not something they could bear.

"That's right. It's not easy to retreat with the people." Liu Changshun fell silent. They might have to sacrifice many soldiers for the safety of the people.

"I'm very pleased that you can consider the people. Since we can't harm the people, we will try our best to prevent the Japanese from coming to the base area." Li Jin said with a smile.

As long as the devils know that there is no trace of them here, the devils will not come here.

"Then what should we do?! The more times we target the Japs, the Japs will always be able to find some traces. They are not fools." Liu Changshun said.

They have repeatedly carried out targeted operations. As long as they are still here in the base area, the Japanese are likely to find them here, and the base area will also be in danger.

"So, since we can't impair the base area, we'll just evacuate." Li Jin said slowly. He had already considered the issues they were considering.

"Evacuate?! Don't you want the base here?!" Zhao Ming said in a daze.

"It's not easy to establish so many bases. It wouldn't be appropriate to just reject them." Lu Changgong also said.

The most important thing for them to establish a base area is to have a mass base. Now they say they don’t want it, so why don’t they want it? !
"Who said no? We came here to help the people in the 129th Regiment and help establish a base.
If we withdraw, don't we just let them take over? "Li Jin said.

They withdrew the existing base area and asked 129 to send people to take over. Li Jin would not just give up the base area that was finally established, which was unreasonable.

"It seems so." Everyone nodded. They actually forgot the main purpose of coming here and only thought about fighting the Japanese.

"The key is, after we withdraw from the base area, where will we go?! We can't live in the mountains, right?!" Liu Changshun said.

"What do you think?!" Li Jin showed a smile. He didn't expect Liu Changshun to be able to guess his purpose. It's okay, you should underestimate him.

"Uh... Do you really want to live in the mountains?!" Liu Changshun was also stunned for a moment. He just talked casually, but he knew that the battalion commander thought so.

"Well, Lao Xu and I have already discussed it. When the time comes, we will withdraw from the base area here, and then enter the Tianli Mountains and find a place to establish a base area there.
The key is that there are no ordinary people living in that area. Even if the devils come to surround us, they will not affect the ordinary people. "Li Jin nodded and told the establishment of the base area.

It is best to choose the Tianli Mountain Range because it is relatively remote. The key is that there are many mountains, and they are better at mountain warfare.
