Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, Old Wu, what were you sighing about just now?!" Li Jin changed the subject.

"This..." Wu Meng hesitated, a little embarrassed to say it.

"If you have any questions, just say it. We are all on our own, and I will definitely help anyone who can." Li Jin urged.

Why is Wu Meng so coy? He just says what he has to say.

"Sigh...Actually, the supplies in the base area are somewhat insufficient because we have to attack the Heng Quarry, so I have increased the amount of training here.
As a result, the supplies in the current base area are used up too quickly. "Wu Meng sighed, but still told the dilemma he encountered.

"I don't think it's a big deal. It's just a small matter. I'll go back in a while and have someone send you some supplies." Li Jin said.

In his opinion, everyone is on their own, and those who can help should help more, and the special operations battalion is currently not short of supplies.

"I will return these supplies to you." Wu Meng said, after the bandits are suppressed and the supplies are seized, they will be returned to Li Jin and the others.

"Okay, anyway, you can pay it back when you can, I'm not in a hurry." Li Jin said, he was not in a hurry about Wu Meng returning the supplies.

Anyway, the materials of the special operations battalion are enough to last for a long time, and even if Wu Meng and the others increase their training, they will not be as big as the special operations battalion, or even not as big as the new regiment.

"By the way, how's your regiment's training plan going? Have you started suppressing bandits?!" Li Jin asked. In addition to talking about accepting the base area, he also came here to take a look at the troop training of the [-]th Regiment. How's it going?

"This hasn't started yet. The regiment leader said that it will take a few days for the soldiers to practice more. If a bandit is beaten and there are heavy casualties, it will be humiliating." Wu Meng hesitated and said.

The regiment leader was also worried about what problems the recruits might have in their first attempt to suppress bandits, so he wanted to let the recruits practice more.

"Well, it's better to be cautious and don't rush." ​​Li Jin nodded and said.

Although we are only fighting bandits, we still need to be cautious. This is also for the sake of the lives of the soldiers.

"Speaking of which, you came here not just to ask about the training situation, right?!" Wu Meng asked. He felt that Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng must have other matters when they came here, otherwise the chief and deputy battalion commanders wouldn't have come.

"We are here to tell you in advance that after the Hengshi Mine is completed, we will evacuate the base area in about a month. At that time, you will need to send people to take over the base area.

After all, after opening so many base areas, we can't just leave. "Li Jin told the story.

"Are you going back to the [-]th Brigade?!" Wu Meng was stunned. He had long thought that Li Jin and the others would go back to the [-]th Brigade sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this day would come like this. quick.

"No, you are overthinking it. Our brigade commander does not intend to let us return to the [-]th Brigade." Li Jin said.

"Since I'm not going back, why do you need me to prepare manpower to take over the base?!" Wu Meng was a little confused.

What is Li Jin doing? !It would be understandable if they went back and asked him to accept it, but since they didn't go back, he couldn't understand why they asked him to accept the base.

"Because we are going to do something big, we can't let you know the specific plans for the time being. In short,

We let you take over the base area to better cause trouble for the Japanese.

Living here in the base area may one day attract the Japanese, and may even implicate you, so we plan to evacuate the base area. "Xu Qingfeng said.

It was better to keep the matter of entering Tianli Mountain Range a secret. It was not that Wu Meng could not be trusted, but that he was worried that he might be sleepy and tell other people about it.

If someone with a heart hears it then, it will not be good.

"So that's the case, but you are withdrawing because you want to cause trouble!" Wu Meng said.

Leaving the base area means that what Li Jin and the others do later will anger the Japanese and make the Japanese focus on Li Jin and the others.

If Li Jin and the others were still in the base area, it would bring disaster to the people, so Li Jin and the others made this decision.

"That's right. Anyway, once things are sorted out later, we'll let you know, and then you can just send someone over to take over." Li Jin said.

As soon as the Hengshi Mine was completed, they had to start preparations for this. This time, they wanted to make a big fuss here and try their best to draw the Japs' attention to their side.

Of course, it can't be too big, and it wouldn't be good to really piss off the Japanese.

"No problem." Wu Meng nodded and said.

"Okay, now that we've finished talking, let's go to the base first." Li Jin stood up and planned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute." Wu Meng also quickly stood up and called to the two of them.

"What's wrong?! Is there anything else?!" Li Jin asked doubtfully.

"Li Jin, has your special operations battalion been training recently?!" Wu Meng asked.

"Of course we have to practice daily training, and we will continue to practice until we attack the Hengshi Mine." Li Jin replied, although the soldiers have been trained, they still cannot relax in training.

"I'm not asking about daily training, I'm talking about, are you planning to fight the Japanese recently?!" Wu Meng explained.

"Oh, that's not the case. The soldiers have been practicing recently, so they can just maintain daily training." Li Jin said, the soldiers in the special operations battalion already have a lot of practical experience, so they should not continue to fight against the Japanese.

"Well, how about you take some of your people to fight the bandits with us?! Are you training soldiers?!" Wu Meng said.

In order to suppress the bandits smoothly, he felt that Li Jin and the others were safer.

"You want me to hold the line, because you're afraid some bandits will run away, right?" When Li Jin heard this, he immediately understood what Wu Meng meant.

In addition to being afraid of the bandits running away, they were also worried that the recruits would suffer casualties while fighting the bandits.

"Well, that's what it means. You just need to bring people with you. Leave the fight against bandits to us!" Wu Meng nodded and said.

It would be great if Li Jin can lead people to suppress the formation. If Li Jin is asked to lead people to fight bandits, how can their new recruits fight bandits to gain courage.

"Okay, no problem. I will bring people here myself when the time comes, but I won't bring many people." Li Jin said, they are just fighting bandits. A group of people with little fighting ability will not let him lead all the people out. That's the equivalent of hitting a fly with a cannon.

"Okay." Wu Meng smiled. Even if Li Jin and the others only brought some people, they would still be enough people. Li Jin's soldiers were very strong, and he knew it.

"In that case, in a few days you can send someone over to tell me in advance, and I will just bring them over then." Li Jin said.

"Well, no problem." Wu Meng nodded.

"Then let's leave first." Li Jin said, turning around and leaving with Xu Qingfeng.

"This Li Jin is really powerful. He will probably become a big official in the future." Wu Meng murmured as he looked at the retreating figures of Li Jin and others.

In his opinion, Li Jin is already a battalion commander at such a young age, and there are more than 1000 people in a battalion, which is no different from a regiment.

It shows that Brigadier Chen attaches great importance to Li Jin. In addition, Li Jin is humble, helpful, and understands the world. He will definitely become a high official in the future.

.........

Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng quickly left Sunjiacun.

Several soldiers from the special operations battalion at the entrance of the village saw it and hurriedly stepped forward. "Battal Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander."

"Well, let's go back." Li Jin nodded, and the group started walking towards Liujiacun.

"Battal Commander, after I return to Liujia Village later, I think I should tell the village chief about this matter so that they can be mentally prepared.
In order to avoid changing people when the time comes, it will bring uneasiness to the villagers. "Xu Qingfeng said.

After all, they had been in the base area before, and suddenly they were replaced by someone they didn't know. The villagers may have been nervous, thinking that something bad had happened.

"What you said makes sense. After we get back, we will ask several village chiefs to come over and talk about this matter. We will also send people to tell the company and ask them to inform the village chiefs in the base area about the matter." Li Jin said.

Telling it earlier can also help the villagers to be mentally prepared and avoid panic when the time comes.

.........

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jin and the others returned to Liujia Village. As soon as they came back, he sent someone to call several village chiefs in the base area to come over for a meeting.

"Go and call Company Commander Liu over to see me." Li Jin ordered a soldier in the conference room.

"Yes!" The soldier turned and left.

"Call a few more communications soldiers to go to the bases of each company, tell the company commander, and inform the village chiefs of what was discussed yesterday.

Remember, don’t say what you shouldn’t say. "Li Jin ordered another soldier.

You can tell the villagers about the replacement of people to take over the base area, but you cannot tell them about their mission to leave the base area.

It’s better not to let too many people know about the fight against the Japanese, so as not to spread the word.

"Understood!" The soldier nodded and left quickly.

"Old Xu, how much supplies do you think Old Wu should send over there?!" Li Jin looked at Xu Qingfeng and said, he felt that it was not an easy decision to make.

"There are about 300 soldiers on Lao Wu's side. Even if they increase the amount of training, they cannot consume more supplies every day than we do.
Therefore, it is enough to give three thousand kilograms of food. After all, they will have to suppress the bandits in a few days. The bandits should also have a lot of food, which will be enough for them to use for a long time. "Xu Qingfeng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, let's do what you said and give them some canned meat to eat?!" Li Jin said and then offered to give Lao Wu and the others some Japanese canned beef.

There are a lot of people in this special operations camp who have captured Japanese soldiers, so they can give Lao Wu and the others some meat.

"Well, how about sending [-] boxes of cans over?!" Xu Qingfeng said. There are nearly forty cans in one box. Eight hundred cans are enough for Old Wu's soldiers to open meat.

Even Lao Wu and the others might not directly give each soldier a can. They would most likely take out the meat from the can and cook it, so that it would last longer.

"Okay, let's send [-] rounds of bullets." Li Jin thought for a while and said, [-] rounds of bullets, to him, is nothing.

But it is very important to Lao Wu.

"Okay, that's it." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

After waiting for a while, Liu Changshun also rushed back.

"battalion commander."

"Xiao Liu, you pick out sixty soldiers, take this list to the warehouse to get supplies, and then send them to Sunjiacun to Lao Wu." Li Jin handed the written list of supplies to Liu Changshun.

"Yes!" Liu Changshun took one look at the list, left immediately, and then asked someone to move things to the warehouse.

After a few minutes.

A soldier came in to report.

"Batalion Commander, Village Chief Liu is here."

After hearing this, Li Jin quickly got up and went to the door. An old man with a stooped back was helped by a soldier.

"Mr. Liu, I'm really sorry that I asked you to come over here." Li Jin quickly stepped forward to help the old man's other hand.

"It doesn't matter, there must be something wrong with Battalion Commander Li's call." Mr. Liu raised his head and said with a smile.

"Old man, didn't I tell you, you don't need to call me battalion commander, just call me by my name." Li Jin said, he still felt a little weird when an old man called his name.

"That won't work, you have to scream." Mr. Liu shook his head. In his opinion, although Li Jin was young, he had already become a battalion commander and was in charge of thousands of people. In the past, he was also a commander of thousands. What a powerful person.

Li Jin shook his head helplessly. No matter what he said, Mr. Liu was unwilling to change his words, so forget it.

After helping Mr. Liu into the conference room, Li Jin poured a glass of water for Mr. Liu.

"Old man, please drink water." Li Jin said.

"Okay." Mr. Liu was very happy. He felt that this young man Li Jin was really sensible and an official with a bright future.

"Captain Li, you called me here for something important?" Mr. Liu took a sip of water and asked.

"Well, I have something to say. I'll talk to the other village chiefs later when they arrive." Li Jin nodded and said.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that this matter might not be a small matter. He also called the old guys from several other villages over. There was something big to announce.

After waiting for a while, a soldier came in again to report.

"Battal Commander, Village Chief Huang, Village Chief Chen, and Village Chief Ye are here."

"Old man, you sit down for a while, I'll go out and bring you in." After Li Jin said something to Mr. Liu, he got up and went out.

Soon, he and Xu Qingfeng entered the conference room with three old people. These three were all village chiefs and had a high reputation in the village.

After the three of them sat down, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng poured water for them.

"Old gentlemen, I'm inviting you here this time. I have something to tell you." Li Jin sat in his seat and glanced at several people and said.

"Well, just say it." Mr. Huang nodded and said.

"It won't be long before we evacuate the base area, and then someone will come and take over the base area here." Li Jin said.

"What?! Are you leaving?! Are you going to fight?!" Mr. Liu said.

Leaving the base area and letting people take over means going to war no matter how you look at it.

"You won't have to leave the base area if you fight, right?!" Mr. Huang also said. Didn't Li Jin and the others go out to fight before? Didn't they still leave soldiers in the village, so they don't need to leave now to fight.
