Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Three days later, around one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jin and his men were still more than twenty miles away from the base.

"Political Commissar, the base I established is about twenty miles away." Li Jin said to the political commissar.

"Well, this place is really good for use as a base." The political commissar nodded. If the Japanese came to encircle and suppress them, Li Jin and his men would be safe.

The key is that the number of soldiers under Li Jin's command has increased twenty times compared to before. Although not all soldiers are so powerful, they are not bad either.

If the Japanese really dared to go into the mountains to encircle and suppress us, and if the number of people coming was not large enough, it would be hard to say who would encircle and suppress whom.

"I also think that no matter what happens, it will not affect ordinary people, so there are not too many concerns. The only bad thing is that it is somewhat out of touch with the masses." Li Jin also responded.

They have almost no contact with the masses, let alone any communication.

"What you are doing is too dangerous, and it is very easy to be surrounded and attacked by the Japanese. It is not a bad idea to stay away from it." said the political commissar.

If other troops stay away from the group, it will naturally not work. They need to mobilize the masses to join the team and help the masses at the same time.

But for the special operations battalion, staying away is not a bad thing. Just as Li Jin said, if something happens, they will not implicate others and will not have too many concerns during combat. This way, they can fight with greater peace of mind.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded. It was because of this consideration that he chose to stay away. Otherwise, he might still be in the village.

Li Jin then took out the walkie-talkie and began to contact the soldiers on guard.

"I'm Li Jin. Who's on guard today?!" Li Jin said into the intercom.

"Battalion Commander, I'm Chu Panjiang from the second company." A voice came from the intercom.

"I will be at your side soon. Tell everyone to put away their guns and don't discharge them accidentally," Li Jin warned.

The soldiers are all veterans, and although the probability of an accidental discharge of a gun is low, they still have to be warned. After all, the one coming is the political commissar, and it would be bad if they frightened him.

"clear."

"By the way, contact Deputy Battalion Commander Xu and tell him that I will be at the base in an hour at most." Li Jin continued to give orders. He could not contact Xu Qingfeng from his current position.

"Yes!" Chu Panjiang replied.

Only then did Li Jin put away the walkie-talkie.

"Li Jin, don't tell me that the guards in your special operations battalion all communicate using walkie-talkies." Li Yunlong on the side couldn't help but say.

Li Jin even installed walkie-talkies at his sentries, which means that Li Jin actually has quite a few walkie-talkies in his hands.

"Well, for greater safety, I have even arranged the sentries to be about 20 miles apart. Once there is danger, I can notify you quickly and I will have time to make arrangements." Li Jin nodded in acknowledgment and explained the situation.

The previous sentry posts were only set up a few miles away, which was not safe enough. With walkie-talkies, they can be set up farther away, making communication more convenient.

"Li Jin, do you want to prepare a few more walkie-talkies for me? Not too many, at least enough for company-level officers. What do you think?!" Li Yunlong's eyes were filled with anticipation.

“This…” Li Jin looked at the political commissar. In fact, whether this thing could be arranged for Li Yunlong still depended on the political commissar’s opinion.

"You have extra walkie-talkies, so it's not a problem to give them to him." The political commissar responded without objection.

"Hehe, thank you political commissar!" Li Yunlong was immediately happy. Now their New 1st Regiment would be even more powerful. With one order, the whole regiment would assemble without wasting time.

"Don't be happy too soon. This walkie-talkie is very important. Tell those officers that if something really happens, they must destroy the walkie-talkies immediately." The political commissar warned.

He didn't want the Japanese to have walkie-talkies, as that would be a huge trouble for them. Not only them, but also the National Army would suffer. Therefore, these officers must understand that walkie-talkies are more important than their own lives.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar. I have already reminded them." Li Yunlong responded seriously.

"Yeah." The political commissar nodded. When it comes to combat, Li Yunlong is still very reliable.

"In the future, maybe I can make a walkie-talkie with a longer communication range. Then, it will be easier for the troops to communicate." Li Jin also said.

At present, the materials used to make walkie-talkies are not good enough. Once the materials are better, the communication range will naturally increase.

"Then keep up the good work and get it done as soon as possible. Communication is a very important thing for the army." The political commissar also supported it.

In their army, there are still few regiment-level units that can have radio stations, because the captured ones are not enough, so only each regiment in their brigade can have a radio station.

"I understand." Li Jin nodded.

"If you ask me, Li Jin, why don't you think of a way to make a radio? This thing is better than a walkie-talkie." The political commissar reacted.

Wouldn't it be better if Li Jin could make a radio?! By then, the regiment-level troops of their army would not only have radios to communicate with each other, but also walkie-talkies to command battles. Their combat effectiveness would increase dramatically.

"This is a little difficult." Li Jin looked embarrassed after hearing this. The things needed to make a radio station are more than walkie-talkies. It is indeed a bit troublesome for him to make a radio station.

"It's okay, there's no rush. Just take your time. As long as you can make it, it'll be fine. Of course, if you really can't make it, then forget it." The political commissar knew that his request was a bit unreasonable, so he didn't really ask Li Jin to make the radio.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar. I will try my best. I will build the radio in a year at most!" Li Jin said immediately. No matter what, the radio should be built.

What he had considered before was to build machine tools so that they could produce more weapons and improve their combat effectiveness.

But after the machine tool was made, the next step was the issue of the radio station. Only by building the radio station could their troops be connected as one.

No matter where they are scattered in the future, we can keep in touch and know the situation of this unit, which will make support more convenient.

"Don't feel too stressed. You've done well enough." The political commissar reached out and patted Li Jin on the shoulder. Looking back, Li Jin had made a lot of contributions to the army.

He not only fought the Japanese invaders and demanded their weapons and ammunition to be surrendered, but also fought the bandits and demanded their money to be surrendered. He was also able to manufacture weapons and walkie-talkies. They couldn't find another talent like him.

"Got it." Li Jin nodded.

Not long after, Li Jin brought the political commissar and his men to the sentry post. Two soldiers stood up from halfway up the mountain. They were wearing white cotton cloaks and were crawling around like they were invisible, which surprised even the political commissar.

"Political Commissar, Battalion Commander, Regiment Commander." Chu Panjiang ran down the mountain and saluted the political commissar, Li Jin and Li Yunlong.

"Your clothes are nice, crawl on the ground so I can take a look." The political commissar ordered, he wanted to see what was going on. "Yes!" Chu Panjiang nodded, and without saying anything, he stepped back several steps and lay on the ground. The political commissar also stepped back several steps, and Li Jin and Li Yunlong followed suit.

"Wow, with this outfit on, it's like he disappeared." The political commissar couldn't help but marvel. If he just lay down in that position in a white coat and added some decorations, if he didn't move, no one would notice that a person had crawled there.

"Political Commissar, this is a snow suit, specially used for ambushes on snowy days." Li Jin also explained.

"That's a great idea. Anyone who gets ambushed by you probably won't be able to escape." The political commissar said with a smile.

"Actually, I plan to make several sets of camouflage uniforms, such as summer camouflage uniforms, autumn camouflage uniforms, and winter camouflage uniforms. However, this will change the style of the clothes." Li Jin also took the opportunity to express his idea.

In fact, he has always had the idea of ​​camouflage uniforms, and has even had quite a few made. The arrival of the political commissar was a good opportunity for him to bring it forward.

"Do you think those camouflage uniforms are more suitable for ambushes?!" asked the political commissar. He also roughly guessed Li Jin's intention.

If it wasn't for the convenience of fighting, Li Jin wouldn't have such a bold idea.

"Yes, wearing different clothes according to the environment can help us fight better and make ambushes easier." Li Jin nodded.

The role of camouflage uniforms is still very important. It can help people who wear them better integrate into the environment.

"Well... replacing it is a bit too big a task, but if you come to use it, it's okay." The political commissar thought for a moment and then said.

This thing can't be changed casually unless the superiors agree. After all, what they are wearing now is almost a synonym, and changing it all of a sudden will cause problems.

However, if only the special operations battalion is changed, it is not impossible.

"Political Commissar, how about our New 1st Regiment make some changes as well?!" Li Yunlong also spoke up. Although he had not seen the camouflage uniforms that Li Jin mentioned, he knew that Li Jin must have conducted experiments and found them effective, which was why he spoke to the political commissar.

"Don't even think about it. Li Jin and the others are still okay. After all, others don't know Li Jin's situation. If you use it too, others might guess something." The political commissar refused decisively.

The reason why they agreed to let Li Jin use it was because of the cooperation between Li Jin and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and Lianggu. These two parties, and even the Japanese, might have felt that Li Jin's troops did not belong to others, so there would naturally be no problem if they wore other clothes.

"Forget it then." Li Yunlong shook his head after hearing this.

"Thank you, Political Commissar." Li Jin also said quickly.

"Don't be happy too soon. When we ambush with this clothing, it is best to kill all the enemies and not let them find out, lest they come out and deal with us." The political commissar reminded.

Li Jin dared to say that this clothing could be used in combat, so it must be very useful. Therefore, he did not want the Japanese to make it to deal with them.

"Don't worry, Political Commissar. I won't let the soldiers wear this uniform easily. Once they put it on and go into battle, I have no intention of leaving any of them alive." Li Jin also said.

In fact, he had thought about all this a long time ago. If he didn't move, it would be fine. But if he moved, he would have to destroy the Japanese.

"That's fine." The political commissar nodded.

"Um, Political Commissar, can I get up?!" At this time, Chu Panjiang spoke. He was still lying on the ground. There was nothing to cushion his position, and it was very cold.

"Get up quickly. I almost forgot about you. Sorry." After hearing this, the political commissar quickly helped Chu Panjiang up.

"Political Commissar, let's continue to go to the base." Li Jin led the way.

"Li Jin, what is this camouflage uniform you are talking about? Get me some when the time comes and I will bring it back to show the leader." The political commissar said as he walked. He was quite interested in Li Jin's camouflage uniform.

"No problem!" Li Jin said quickly.

Li Yunlong also wanted to see what the camouflage uniform looked like.

At this time, in the base, Xu Qingfeng also gathered all the veterans and began to prepare to line up.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, what are we doing? Why is there such a big fuss? Could it be that the leader is coming?!" a soldier asked.

This was the first time they had such a big ceremony as lining up to welcome him.

"That's almost it. Although it's not the commander himself who came, it's not bad either. It's the political commissar who came." Xu Qingfeng told the story. This time the political commissar came for inspection with great difficulty, and the soldiers' heroic spirit must be shown in front of the political commissar.

"Oh my god, it's true!" The soldier was shocked. He really didn't expect that a big leader would come to inspect.

After all, the safety of the big leader is very important to him, and he would not travel easily. He did not expect that he would come to them this time and run so far.

"So, we must let the political commissar see our dominance. Don't be soft. If anyone loses face and leaves a bad impression on the political commissar, I will personally train you!" Xu Qingfeng said with a serious face.

In fact, the arsenal has already made preparations, and the political commissar will definitely go to the arsenal for inspection when he comes.

"Understood." The soldier responded, with goose bumps all over his back. He didn't want to be trained by the deputy battalion commander, as that would be a double torture both mentally and physically.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, why did the political commissar suddenly come to us? Is it really just an ordinary patrol?!" The soldiers were a little curious about this. For something like a patrol, wouldn't it be enough to just send someone over? Why did he come in person and run so far?

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You will know the answer soon." Xu Qingfeng said no more.

"Oh."

Soon, Xu Qingfeng and his men were lined up. All the veterans were divided into ten teams, with five teams on each side, for a total of more than 1,800 soldiers. They all stood tall, looking forward with murderous eyes.

Xu Qingfeng checked his watch from time to time. After waiting for a few minutes, the political commissar and his men finally arrived.

"Li Jin, you guys are making quite a big fuss." The political commissar couldn't help but say after seeing it from afar.

"Wouldn't this make it convenient for the political commissar to inspect?" Li Jin said with a smile. Otherwise, how could the political commissar see the combat effectiveness of their special operations battalion?

"You kid." The political commissar shook his head helplessly. He didn't expect Li Jin to do such things.

"This scene is still grand. When I went to the special operations company for training, there were only a few hundred people." Li Yunlong couldn't help but think of the first time he went to the special operations company.

There weren't so many people welcoming him at that time, mainly because the special operations company didn't have so many people.
