Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Well, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese's Class A divisions is indeed very strong." Li Jin nodded in agreement. The Japanese they had fought before were basically Class B divisions.

Generally speaking, they have not really fought against the Japanese's Class A Division. If the Japanese really transferred their Class A Division, it would be a big trouble.

"It seems that if you want to make any big moves recently, you still have to wait and see. At least you have to find out the level of the division the Japanese have transferred to avoid disaster." Li Yunlong was rarely so arrogant.

After all, he was also very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Class A Division. The soldiers under this level of division were said to be carefully selected, and their firepower was not comparable to that of ordinary divisions.

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

"Speaking of which, Li Jin, are you planning to do anything big when you come back this time? If so, you must take me with you." Li Yunlong changed the subject and looked at Li Jin.

He was almost going crazy, looking at the New 1st Regiment, which was strong and powerful, but had no place to use their skills, just like a eunuch going to a brothel.

The others couldn't help but look at Li Jin, as if they wanted to see if he had any plans.

"Well...I actually have a plan." Li Jin hesitated.

"Tell me quickly, what's the plan?" Li Yunlong was a little impatient.

"I plan to blow up the Japanese airport in Taiyuan, but I'm just thinking about it. I haven't decided on the specific plan yet.

After all, I don't know how far the special operations battalion has developed now, so I have to at least see how they are trained." Li Jin told him the plan he had before.

He planned to wait until the situation developed and then blow up the Japanese machine guns in Taiyuan, mainly to eliminate all the Japanese planes and pilots.

Especially the pilots, the value of these pilots is much more valuable than the Japanese planes. Training a pilot is much more expensive than building an airplane.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be so brave. You must take me with you. Go collect the information over there first, and then make an attack plan.

When the time comes, I will bring the New 1st Regiment to cooperate with you, and we will blow up the Japanese airport together. I will piss the Japanese off to death!" Li Yunlong couldn't help laughing when he said this.

If they were really allowed to blow up the Japanese airport in Taiyuan, the Japanese highest commander here would probably be so angry that he died.

"Isn't this too risky? Taiyuan is the Japanese's base camp here, and there are quite a few Japanese there. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhao Gang frowned. He was worried about some accidents.

The consequences are still very serious.

"Moreover, the leader may not agree to this matter." Zhao Gang added.

He felt that the leader would not agree to such a dangerous plan.

"Old Zhao, you underestimate Li Jin's importance. As long as this guy makes a good plan, the leader will definitely agree after reading it. Do you believe it?" Li Yunlong was very confident.

Li Jin dared to say that he wanted to blow up the Japanese airport, so he must be very confident. It's just that this guy is not sure how far the special operations battalion has developed now.

That's why I'm a little hesitant.

"Political Commissar, the regiment commander is absolutely right about this." Chief of Staff Zhong also said.

The leader really values ​​Li Jin. The key is that Li Jin's battle plan has no flaws. If Li Jin often made mistakes in battle, he would have been dismissed long ago, let alone being valued by the leader.

"Captain, I'm just saying I want to blow it up. If the intelligence we collected doesn't support us in blowing up the Japanese airport, I won't do it. So, don't have too high hopes." Li Jin said.

There is still a long way to go between having the idea and putting it into practice. He won't start unless everything is prepared.

Especially when it comes to attacking the Japanese airport, we need to be extra cautious.

"It's okay. If we really can't blow up the Japanese airport, then forget it. Safety is still the priority." Li Yunlong said. Although he also wanted to blow up the airport, the prerequisite was that the troops could not suffer too many casualties.

Otherwise, it would not be appropriate to bomb an airport and cause too much damage.

"Well, if I have an idea, I will send you a telegram as soon as possible and will definitely not leave you behind." Li Jin nodded.

"Okay, no problem. Just don't forget me." Li Yunlong reminded him, fearing that this kid Li Jin would sneak off and blow up the Japanese airport.

"Of course not, so don't worry." Li Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Then I feel relieved. Come on, let's drink." Li Yunlong raised his glass, clinked glasses with everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Captain, during this period of time, you must not take action against the Japanese. At least you have to find out the level of the division the Japanese have transferred here before you take action." Li Jin couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Li Yunlong said.

He didn't want to transfer soldiers from the Japanese Class A division over here, as the consequences would be quite serious.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded. It was enough for everyone to be slightly tipsy. After all, they still couldn't get drunk, so as to avoid any problems.

"Wait a minute, you must have seized a lot of good stuff in Changsha, why didn't I see it just now?" Li Yunlong asked.

"We seized a lot and handed them over to the leader. There were still a lot that we couldn't get back, so we sold them to Liang Gu at a discount and got a lot of money in return," said Li Jin.

"Damn it, so many weapons, and they just sold them to others like that?!" Li Yunlong was heartbroken when he heard this.

The Japanese equipment could not be bought even if you had money, but Li Jin sold it just like that.

"There's no other way. I didn't bring many people with me, so I can only take the good ones, mainly to increase the firepower of other troops." Li Jin was also helpless. There were too many weapons and he really couldn't take them all away.

We can't just leave it there. What if someone takes it away? It's better to sell the weapons to Liang Gu and make a small profit.

"Damn it, the more I think about it, the more upset I get. If the commander had let me go with him, I would have been able to bring all these things back. What a heavy loss!" Li Yunlong felt heartbroken.

He also wanted to follow Li Jin to Changsha at that time, but unfortunately the leader did not agree, otherwise, they would have been able to get more equipment.

"That's not the case. If you follow us, we will expose our strong firepower. Moreover, once our combat effectiveness is revealed, they will probably be very afraid of us.
By then, someone might sell us out, which would cause trouble for Li Jin." Zhao Gang said.

It is not yet time for them to reveal their true strength.

"That's true." Li Yunlong nodded after hearing this. The leader was right not to let him go!

"Captain, let's stop here for today. I have to hurry back to the base." Li Jin stood up and said. They had almost finished drinking.

"Okay, let's stop here. Even though we didn't drink to our heart's content, it's okay. I won't see you off." Li Yunlong waved his hand.

Li Jin left Li Yunlong's residence without changing his expression. He went to find the soldiers of the special operations battalion and then left the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment. After Li Jin left, Li Yunlong and the others also started chatting.

"Do you think there is a chance of successfully bombing the Taiyuan Airport?" Deputy Captain Qian said.

In fact, he was not very optimistic about this plan.

"I think the probability is very low. There are too many Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan, and the Japanese soldiers in Taiyuan are very strong.
If there is any movement at the airport, the Japanese in Taiyuan will probably be mobilized, which is very dangerous." Zhao Gang expressed his opinion.

He hoped to blow up the Japanese airport so that he could cause great damage to the Japanese.

But he also knew that bombing Taiyuan Airport was extremely difficult.

"That's true. It depends on what plans Li Jin has. Most importantly, it depends on how the training of his new recruits is going." Chief of Staff Zhong also said.

If the new recruits are well trained and they act together with the New 1st Regiment, it is not impossible to bomb the Japanese airport.

"So we still have to look at Li Jin's side." Li Yunlong took another sip of wine.

"However, compared to bombing the Japanese airport, I am more concerned about when Li Jin will be promoted to regiment commander." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian changed the subject.

"Yes, this kid made such a great contribution in Changsha and even eliminated a Japanese division commander. It would be unreasonable if Li is not promoted." Li Yunlong also reacted.

Li Jin has been working as the battalion commander for almost a year. He has made great contributions and completed his previous tasks very well. It would be unreasonable if he is not promoted.

"I think Li Jin will be promoted to regiment commander after the Chinese New Year. What do you think?!" Chief of Staff Zhong made a bold guess.

When Li Jin came back, it seemed that he brought nothing with him.

"It should be after the Chinese New Year, which was exactly when Li Jin became a party member. In the blink of an eye, there is only one month left until the Chinese New Year. Time flies." Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh when he said this.

He has been in the new regiment for more than a year.

"Yes, we have been fighting the Japanese for more than two years. I really don't know when we can drive them out and bring peace back to this country." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian couldn't help but sigh.

"We can't rush this. The overall strength of the Japanese is still stronger than ours. The gap between us and the Japanese is too big.
Even though we have a lot of advantages over the devils now, we still can't change the overall situation.

The commander-in-chief said that we have to fight a protracted war with the Japanese." Chief of Staff Zhong said seriously.

He also hoped to drive the Japanese out as soon as possible, but the reality was that the Japanese were very strong and they could only delay.

We must hold the Japanese back completely. As long as we persist, we can wear them down. If a few years doesn't work, then ten years will do. If ten years doesn't work, then twenty years will do. They can afford it, but the Japanese can't.

"Old Zhong is right. We cannot rush this matter, but as long as we persist, victory will belong to us!" Zhao Gang also said.

"Come on, come on, drink, drink." Li Yunlong clinked glasses with a few people again. It was a rare happy day. However, Li Jin had to hurry back to the base, otherwise, they would not go home until they were drunk.

.........

Taiyuan, the Japanese headquarters.

Itakune Seishiro was sitting in his office, looking at the newspaper on the table.

"Why did the losses in the Battle of Changsha become so heavy?!" Itagaki Seishirō frowned.

I really don't understand how a small force could cause them such heavy losses.

The enemy first caused them to lose more than 20,000 soldiers here, and then when they arrived in Changsha, the empire lost more than 10,000 soldiers.

The key point is that even Inayashiro was crippled by this small force and will never have the chance to command the troops in battle again. For a commander, this is more painful than killing him.

"This army poses a serious threat to us. We must find out what the situation is with this army. If we don't destroy them, they will always be a serious concern!" Itaheng Seishirō murmured, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Ring ring ring......

Just then, the phone on the table rang.

"Moses, this is Seishiro Itagaki." He answered the phone.

"Mr. Banheng, you are not busy now, right?" A Japanese voice came from the phone.

"Commander, I'm not busy now." When Itakune Seishirō heard that the person on the phone was the commander, he was so scared that he quickly stood up.

"I have already chosen which division to transfer to your side." said the Japanese commander.

"Commander, you say." Upon hearing this, Itahira Seishirō immediately became much more energetic.

"I plan to send the Osaka Division to help you." The Japanese commander said the name of the division.

"What?!!! Osaka Division!!!" Upon hearing this, Itakane Seishirō raised his voice unconsciously.

This crappy division only knew how to use its resources and even released a large number of Nationalist soldiers.

The key point is that that group of National Army soldiers walked past the Osaka Division in a swagger.

He really disliked this kind of division that didn't fight and only thought about doing business, but he couldn't say it out loud.

"What?! Are you looking down on them?! The combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division is not weak, or are you questioning my decision?!" The Japanese commander's voice suddenly became gloomy.

"No, no, Commander. I know they are not weak in combat, but I heard they only know how to do business with the locals. They are not like the soldiers of the Empire at all.
Some soldiers have sold their guns. I think why don't you send another division? ! "Itahune Seishirō took a deep breath but still said it.

To him, the Osaka Division is just a troublemaker. It is true that they have combat effectiveness, but the problem is that they have combat effectiveness but always think about not fighting. What is the use of having such strong combat effectiveness?

If the Osaka Division had been stronger at the time, it would not have let the large National Army force escape.

"Mr. Ban Heng, you also said that it was just hearsay. When they arrive, you can direct them to do the work. If they need to build roads, they should build roads. If they need to build bunkers, they should build bunkers.
The Cage Project has already wasted a lot of time because of the targeting of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the progress of the project must be caught up. In comparison, the Eighth Route Army is still ahead.
The threat to us is even greater, so we must complete this plan as soon as possible, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself! "The Japanese commander said the last part, his tone full of threats.

"Don't worry, Commander. I will complete the task!" Itagaki Seishirō said hurriedly.
