Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

After testing the guns, the leaders and others returned to the conference room.

"Li Jin, what do you plan to do after this batch of guns goes into mass production?" The leader looked at Li Jin and asked.

"Well, I plan to equip the special operations battalion first. After all, the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion is among the best.
If the special operations battalion is equipped first, its combat effectiveness can be improved to a higher level, what do you think? " Li Jin asked tentatively.

Although he had made the decision in his mind, he still needed the leader's approval according to the specific circumstances. Otherwise, it would be against the rules for him to equip the troops without authorization.

"You must have made plans a long time ago. Equip the special operations battalion first. That's fine." The chief nodded in agreement. Li Jin was still being modest.

The combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion is not just the best, compared with other troops, it is far ahead and other troops simply cannot catch up.

He had no objection to giving good equipment to the most powerful troops first.

After all, the stronger the special operations battalion's combat effectiveness, the greater the threat it poses to the Japanese.

"Thank you, Chief." Li Jin smiled.

"What is the current monthly production of this gun?!" the leader continued to ask. He wanted to know how many of this gun could be produced each month.

"More than a thousand a month. I'm not skilled enough now. Maybe when I become more skilled, the output will be even higher." Li Jin thought for a moment and replied.

"The output is a bit low." The chief frowned and tapped the table with his fingers.

This output means that it will take a lot of time to equip all the troops.

"It's a bit low, but the performance of the gun is really good." Li Jin said quickly.

"By the way, I have the blueprints here." Li Jin quickly took out the gun blueprints and showed them to the leader.

"Well, this is really good." The leader nodded.

"Li Jin, you should have a battle plan for the future, right?" The chief asked with a smile, and he handed the blueprint to the political commissar and put it away.

"I do have a plan. I plan to blow up the airport built by the Japanese in Taiyuan. The situation over there has been clarified..." Li Jin then told the chief about the personnel deployment at the airport.

"Kid, I knew you wouldn't be content. How many people are there in the base now? It can't be even 5,000." The leader said with a smile.

He knew that after Li Jin came back, he would definitely not stay in the base, and would definitely think of continuing to attack the Japanese.

"More than that, there are already more than 6,200 of them, and they have all been trained. All that's left is to let them see blood." Li Jin replied.

"More than 6,000 people?! You are developing quite fast." The leader was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that even though Li Jin was not there, the base could still develop to a level of more than 6,000 people. He really underestimated Li Jin.

"This is all thanks to Xu Qingfeng. He is more capable. It has nothing to do with me." Li Jin did not take all the credit for himself.

"Well, he is pretty good." The leader praised him. It seems that letting Xu Qingfeng be the political commissar was indeed the right choice!

"Let me tell you something. The new Japanese division has arrived in Taiyuan." The leader said this.

"Which division is it?!" Li Jin also became a little nervous. If it was a Class A division, he would have to think again about attacking the Japanese airport.

After all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Class A division is quite strong.

"Have you heard of the Osaka Division?!" the commander said slowly.

"Ah?! Osaka Division?! Are you sure it's this division?!" Li Jin couldn't help but smile when he said this.

"It is indeed the Osaka Division. It seems that you know something about this division." The leader knew from Li Jin's reaction that Li Jin must know something about the Osaka Division, otherwise he would not be so happy.

"Well, I do know a little bit. This division doesn't like fighting, but prefers to do business with our people.

I heard that during the Battle of Xuzhou, Commander Li led his troops and slipped away right under the nose of this division. "Li Jin nodded and also said something about the Osaka Division.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that the Japanese would actually transfer the Osaka Division over here. If that was the case, then there would be no worries in attacking the Japanese airport in Taiyuan.

"Don't be careless. The combat effectiveness of this division is not necessarily weak." The political commissar reminded, worried that Li Jin would underestimate this division and suffer a great loss.

"Commissar, rest assured, I will not underestimate this division. Their combat effectiveness is even stronger than some Class B divisions.

However, the soldiers who made up this division were all businessmen who did not like fighting but only liked making money.
As long as we don't attack them, there won't be any big problems. Of course, I will also have people keep a close eye on the movements of this division." Li Jin replied.

He naturally knew that the combat effectiveness of this division was not weak, and it could even be said that it was very strong.

If this division didn't dislike fighting, it would be hard to predict what the outcome of some battles would be.

It can be said that this division is a weird one among the Japanese devils. When it comes to fighting, they make excuses and even have a bunch of soldiers pretending to be sick.

I also procrastinate when I'm on the road, just because I don't want to work hard.

Of course, if someone prevents them from doing business, the combat effectiveness of this division will be reflected.

"That's good. I was worried that you would underestimate them." The political commissar breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never underestimate my enemies." Li Jin responded seriously.

Even when he was just fighting bandits, he would make some backup preparations. Although they were never used, he would still prepare them just in case.

"Don't give me that! You underestimated us last time and almost got surrounded by the Japanese." The leader ruthlessly exposed him.

"Well, I was just careless last time." Hearing this, Li Jin coughed to cover up his embarrassment.

"You have to remember this firmly, understand?" The leader couldn't help but remind him again.

"I understand. I promise not to make the same mistake again!" Li Jin made the promise with a serious face.

"Yeah." The leader nodded with satisfaction.

"Commander, when we attack the Japanese airport, I hope you can let the New 1st Regiment cooperate with me!" Li Jin suggested.

"No problem. As long as you can blow up the airport, I will put not only the New 1st Regiment but also the Independent Regiment under your command." The chief agreed.

If Li Jin could really blow up the Japanese airport, it would be a great thing.

The Japanese planes still posed a great threat to them, and it would be great if they could be destroyed.

"There's no need for an independent regiment. Just transfer the new regiment." Li Jin said quickly. To attack the Japanese airport, there was no need to mobilize so many people.

"Then we will transfer a new regiment to you for command, Li Jin. You must be prepared after the New Year." The leader's expression became serious again.

"Please speak, Chief." Li Jin suddenly became nervous, not knowing what the Chief was going to say. It was the first time he saw the Chief's expression so serious.

"After the New Year, the Special Operations Battalion will be upgraded to a Special Operations Regiment. You will be the head of the Special Operations Regiment and Xu Qingfeng will be the political commissar.
As for the deputy regiment commander, you can choose one yourself, and the battalion commanders, you can also choose one yourself, and then report the list to me. "The leader slowly explained the matter.

I had planned to tell Li Jin after the Chinese New Year, but since Li Jin was here, I told him in advance. "Ah?! I'm promoted to regiment commander now?!" Li Jin was stunned and didn't react for a while. Why did he feel that he had been promoted to battalion commander for less than a year, and now he was promoted to regiment commander?! Isn't this too fast?

"Why, you are not happy?!" The leader frowned.

"No, no, I'm happy to do it." Li Jin shook his head and nodded repeatedly.

Anyway, he had made preparations. He had been preparing since his leader gave him a recruitment quota of 5,000 people. He just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

"That's it. When you go back, ask Xu Qingfeng to set up a regiment political department. He knows what to do." The leader continued.

Xu Qingfeng's ability is indeed good. He was a little worried before that Xu Qingfeng would not be promoted, but now it seems that he was worrying too much, because he has the ability.

"I understand! Chief, what about the operations chief of staff? Aren't there going to be one?!" Li Jin asked. There were already political commissars and deputy regiment commanders, so why didn't the chief of operations staff mention it?

"With your abilities, do you still need a chief of staff?!" the leader asked back.

Up to now, Li Jin has basically planned and commanded the battles he fought. If there really needs to be a chief of staff, there is no one more suitable than Li Jin.

“This…” After hearing this, Li Jin fell silent for a while.

“Of course, you can set one up if you want,” the chief added.

"Forget it, there's no need." Li Jin shook his head.

"That's it. There's one more thing. After you blow up the Japanese airport, go to Yan'an. In addition to meeting the commander-in-chief, you can also meet your parents." The leader continued.

This was agreed upon. Li Jin should have been sent earlier, but this kid Li Jin has a lot of tasks to do.

"I understand!" Li Jin was also a little excited after hearing this. Could he finally meet the commander-in-chief? He had been looking forward to this day.

However, when he thought about his previous parents being there, he suddenly became a little nervous.

Although he has all the memories of his previous incarnation, he is also a little worried that the parents of his previous incarnation will feel that he is not their son.

But, things have come to this, and he doesn't want to say anything more. He will talk about it when they meet.

"Speaking of which, send some of the walkie-talkies you made to the brigade headquarters. I plan to equip some of the more powerful troops with walkie-talkies, which will make it easier to command the troops.
The Japanese are pointing their spearheads at us again, and there is always a possibility that they will mobilize a large force to attack us." The leader said with a serious face.

They have to prepare for a rainy day. They can't just assume that the Japanese won't target them.

Therefore, the earlier you prepare, the better your chances will be.

"Commander, I have already asked someone to bring a total of 100 walkie-talkies.
And the communication range has reached 20 miles! It can be said that it is much better than the one I showed you before. "Li Jin said after listening.

"What?! It's already within twenty miles?!" The leader was a little surprised.

If what Li Jin said is true, then this walkie-talkie will be very useful.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded.

"Good boy, you are really amazing!" The leader was happy.

"This is the credit of Director Liu and his colleagues. I just made a blueprint." Li Jin didn't dare to take the credit for himself.

"They didn't suffer any injustice while they were with you, right?!" the leader asked.

"How is this possible? I have always respected technical personnel. If we want our country to be strong, we cannot do without these technical personnel." Li Jin said seriously.

"That's fine. If you dare to let them suffer any injustice, I won't let you go." The chief said seriously.

Every technician is their treasure. They would be heartbroken if one or two were missing.

At this time, the guard came in.

"Chief and Political Commissar, it's time to eat." The guard reminded.

"Well, Li Jin, come on, have dinner with me. I just asked someone to cook some extra rice." The leader stood up.

A group of three people came to the chief's residence.

This time we didn't eat in the yard because it was too cold, so we ate in the living room. The food was already on the table and a pot of broth was still steaming.

"Chief, you drink the soup first." Li Jin picked up the chief's bowl and poured a bowl of soup first, then poured a bowl for the political commissar, and finally poured one for himself.

Looking at Li Jin busying around, the two couldn't help but smile.

"Sizzle... This pork tripe and chicken soup is really good, fragrant and flavorful." Li Jin took a sip and couldn't help but praise it.

"If it smells good, drink more." The chief said with a smile, looking at Li Jin as if he were a relative.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded, and ate all the pork belly and chicken in his sight, and planned to drink the soup in one gulp.

"Come to think of it, you haven't gotten married yet, right? Have you ever thought about finding a wife?" The leader suddenly said.

“Cough cough…” Li Jin was choked by the soup after hearing this.

"Commander, the Japanese haven't been driven out yet, so I don't have the time to think about these things." Li Jin spoke quickly.

"Hahaha, I'm just talking." The leader burst into laughter when he saw Li Jin's panicked look.

It was the first time he saw Li Jin so panicked.

Li Jin didn't know what to say for a moment after hearing this.

Why is the chief joking with him?

"Commander, are my parents doing well?!" Li Jin changed the subject, fearing that the commander would say something shocking again.

"Don't worry, your parents are teaching in Yan'an and are living well, but your mother is very worried about you." The leader told the story.

"Then won't my father be worried?!" Li Jin asked.

"Your father didn't say anything. He thought you were protecting your country and your family. If you died, it would be an honor to die for your country." The leader responded.

Although Li Jin's father said this, he could see that Li Jin's father was actually quite worried about Li Jin, but he just didn't say it.

"That's my father's style." Li Jin smiled. In his memory, his predecessor's father was not very strict with him, but he always told him that defending the country was a very honorable thing.

"Your father is very knowledgeable and has taught many students. These students may have great potential in the future. They are needed to lay the foundation for the country to become strong." The leader said seriously.
