Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Li Yunlong attaches great importance to this cavalry unit, so he will not let this unit participate in the war until the cavalry unit has combat effectiveness.

“Captain…” Sun Desheng wanted to say something but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"This time, we have to pass through many enemy-occupied areas. If the cavalry unit follows us, it will be too conspicuous and easily discovered by the Japanese." Li Yunlong continued to explain.

It was basically impossible for hundreds of war horses to be dispatched and pass through enemy-occupied areas without being discovered by the Japanese.

Once they are discovered by the Japanese, they will take action. We want to know what they are going to do, which will easily affect their plan to attack the Japanese airport.

"Then why don't we just not ride horses? The soldiers from the other four battalions will follow us, and the cavalry battalion can't fall behind." Sun Desheng still wanted to fight for it.

He was asked to watch other battalions fight the Japanese while his battalion could only stay in the regiment headquarters, but he couldn't do it.

"Listen to me, there are other reasons for keeping you here. This time, the new regiment is dispatched, and the other battalions have lost more than half of their troops. If the Japanese attack, it will be a very troublesome matter.
If there is no immediate support from the troops, many soldiers will die, and even many civilians will die.
The cavalry battalion is the unit that can quickly support them. Your mission may seem light, but it is actually very heavy, and only the cavalry battalion can do it. "Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

"So that's how it is. Don't worry, Captain. I will definitely complete this task!" Sun Desheng responded seriously upon hearing this. He didn't expect that they would also be able to use their skills.

"So, the safety of the entire New 1st Regiment's base is now in your hands. Don't let me down!" Li Yunlong said.

"I understand!" Sun Desheng nodded seriously and took on the task.

"Go down. Remember, don't train the cavalry. When I bring people back, I want to see that the cavalry unit has a certain level of combat effectiveness." Li Yunlong instructed.

"Yes!" Sun Desheng stood up and left the meeting room.

"Old Li, you are really good at what you do. Just a few words have dissuaded Sun Desheng from following you." Deputy Commander Qian couldn't help but praise him. The key point was that Li Yunlong's words made Sun Desheng stay willingly, which was different from staying because of an order.

"Otherwise, how can I be the regiment leader?" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

If he didn't say so, he could only use orders to pressure Sun Desheng, forcing Sun Desheng to stay in the base unwillingly.

Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong. After more than a year of getting along with him, he could see that Li Yunlong was indeed quite capable.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see what Li Jin gave me." Li Yunlong stood up and waited for the others to leave the meeting room.

When he returned to his residence, Li Yunlong carefully took out a book from under his pillow.

"Old Li, don't you feel uncomfortable sleeping with this as a pillow?!" said Deputy Captain Qian.

"No big deal. This thing is a treasure. What if we lose it? With it, we can still eat vegetables in winter." Li Yunlong attaches great importance to this book.

"Let me see it first." Zhao Gang was also a little impatient and stretched out his hand to ask Li Yunlong for it.

"Seeing how anxious you are, I'll give it to you." Li Yunlong didn't tease Zhao Gang and gave the book to Zhao Gang directly.

Deputy Regiment Commander Qian and Chief of Staff Zhong also came over to Zhao Gang, and the three of them watched together.

The steps recorded in the book are actually quite simple and easy to understand, and nothing seems difficult.

"It doesn't seem to be difficult. Are you sure you can grow vegetables this way?!" Deputy Captain Qian immediately became skeptical.

"Old Li, are you sure this was written by Li Jin? Didn't you ask someone to write it?!" Chief of Staff Zhong couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Damn it, I already said it was written by Li Jin. It's not like you haven't seen Li Jin's handwriting before. I thought it was simple at the time, but do you know what Li Jin said?!" Li Yunlong looked angry and asked back.

"What did he say?!" Zhao Gang asked cooperatively.

"Li Jin said, don't underestimate these steps, but each step requires multiple experiments to draw conclusions. These seemingly simple steps are all done with great effort.

Without step-by-step experiments and simplification, how could there be such simple steps! "Li Yunlong said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Indeed, this seemed simple, but who knew how many times Li Jin failed before he figured out the simplest steps. It was really too much for them to think that these steps were useless without any experiments.

"That's my problem. I subconsciously thought these steps were useless before I even started trying." Deputy Team Leader Qian realized his mistake.

"Looking back, Li Jin actually wrote about the problems that may arise in the process and the solutions. It's quite detailed." Zhao Gang glanced back and saw that Li Jin had written down the details for almost every step, which was almost like teaching them step by step.

"I think we should let some soldiers in the regiment try to make it according to the above steps. Whether we can eat vegetables this winter depends on this time." Chief of Staff Zhong suggested.

The soldiers who stayed behind in the regiment headquarters, except for the cavalry battalion, spent all their time doing this.

"If it really works, we can pass this method on to the villagers so that they can eat vegetables in the future." Zhao Gang also became happy.

From now on, people will no longer need to eat stale vegetables in winter.

"That's right." Several people nodded.

.........

At about 3:30 in the afternoon, the political commissar returned to the brigade headquarters and met with the leader in the conference room.

"Thank you for your hard work. You've come all the way." The leader smiled.

"It's a small matter, Chief. My visit to Li Jin really opened my eyes. This kid knows a lot of things." The political commissar had a constant smile on his face when he said this.

"Oh?! What did you see?!" The leader became curious after hearing this. What did the political commissar see that made him so happy.

"Let me tell you..." The political commissar then told Li Jin about the snow cloak, greenhouse vegetables, and things he saw in the arsenal.

"I never thought that this kid Li Jin is actually good at planting." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

"I didn't expect that this kid could grow vegetables in the middle of winter. That's amazing!" The leader was also a little surprised.

In this kind of weather, if the seeds are planted in the ground, they will not survive, let alone germinate. But Li Jin was able to grow them. Isn't that amazing?

"Yes, he is really omnipotent. I don't know what he can't do." The political commissar was a little impressed by Li Jin.

Others are usually only proficient in one or two things, but Li Jin is different. He knows everything and is an all-round talent.

"By the way, Li Jin also gave me a book on planting experience. Take a look." The political commissar suddenly remembered something. He quickly took off his bag, took out the book from it and handed it to the chief. Looking at the book handed over, the chief also reached out to take it and then read a few pages.

"This step seems a little simple, but Li Jin must have experimented many times to complete it, and then simplified it to get this." The leader commented.

"Indeed, it took Li Jin a lot of effort to successfully grow vegetables," the political commissar also said.

"If there is peace in the world in the future, this kid can go and work in agricultural production." The leader couldn't help but laugh.

"Commander, he is quite good at military industry. It would be a waste of his talent to let him engage in agricultural production. I have seen his arsenal. The personnel and technology there are much better than ours.

I even think that this guy will be able to build airplanes and tanks in the future, so I think it would be better for him to work in the military industry, what do you think?" The political commissar expressed a different opinion.

Rather than letting Li Jin engage in agricultural production in the future, it would be better to let Li Jin engage in military industry and let this guy produce more advanced weapons.

"Then let him work on military industry first. As for agricultural production, let him find time to work on it when our military strength is improved and we are no longer bullied by other countries." The leader responded.

Only by improving their military strength will they have the capital and confidence to prevent other countries from looking down on them.

"It's a little too early to talk about this now. Let's talk about it later. This kid has a lot of abilities, and it's not the right time yet." The leader continued.

We don’t know when we can drive the Japanese out of China, so it’s no use just talking about the future.

"Yes." The political commissar nodded.

"By the way, you just said that Li Jin got some camouflage uniforms. Let me see them." The chief thought of this. The camouflage uniforms that Li Jin praised so highly must be very impressive.

"I just put a few pieces in my bag, and the rest have been put into the warehouse." The political commissar also poured out all the clothes in the bag.

"The white one is a snow cloak. Put it on and lie on the ground to hide yourself. If you make adequate preparations in advance, you may not be discovered even if you get very close." The political commissar began to explain the functions of these clothes one by one.

The leader nodded repeatedly after listening, thinking that Li Jin's mind was indeed quick.

"The Special Operations Battalion, no, it's the Special Operations Regiment. If they wear these clothes to fight in the future, I'm afraid their combat effectiveness will be improved." The leader said that the Special Operations Regiment would not choose to confront the enemy head-on, and would basically just attack.

Camouflage uniforms have the function of concealment, which is very useful for special operations teams!
"I think so too. Besides, the Japanese don't know that Li Jin's troops are ours. Even if they wear these camouflage uniforms, no one will suspect us." The political commissar also agreed with what the leader said.

"Well, speaking of which, when Li Jin and his men were training, they made the Japanese feel like they were facing a formidable enemy. Many of the Japanese simply abandoned the occupied counties and withdrew their troops." The chief couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

"This is not surprising. Li Jin and his men must have killed a lot of devils during their training. Plus, they were acting in dispersed ways, so it can be said that this was a large-scale attack on bunkers and checkpoints.

The Japanese might think that Li Jin and his men are cooperating with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army again and want to use the same old tricks again. "The political commissar also laughed.

With Li Jin's current military strength, the range of attack they can cover when they are dispersed for training is still very large, just like the previous time, and the Japanese can't help but be nervous.

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is also cursing." The commander continued, with a smile on his face.

"Haha, I guess they weren't scolding the Japs, but Li Jin. Why did he go and provoke the Japs again?" The political commissar laughed happily after hearing this.

It would be strange if the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not panic after receiving the news. After all, the Japs had just stopped targeting them. What if they targeted them again?

"It would be good to scare them." said the leader.

"Commander, how about I take this book of experience and give it to Lao Zhang and ask him to send people to carry out the planting according to the steps mentioned above?!" The political commissar talked about the book of experience.

He really wanted to eat some vegetables, but there was still a long time before spring, and it was not easy to eat fresh vegetables.

If they could grow vegetables according to Li Jin's method, they would be able to eat vegetables earlier.

"Well, that's okay, but you need to copy a few more copies of this book and hand them in, so that other troops can also grow vegetables according to the methods in this book. In this way, we can make up for the problem of not having fresh vegetables in winter." The leader agreed decisively.

.........

Tianli Mountains, base area.

Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng were waiting outside the base. The soldiers of the special operations regiment were about to return to the base.

"I don't know if there will be heavy casualties in this training." Xu Qingfeng said. He was still a little nervous. These soldiers went directly to fight the Japanese without going through the training process of killing bandits. There was still great danger in it.

Therefore, he was very worried that a large number of soldiers would be sacrificed during this military training.

"Don't worry, it's normal to have casualties. After all, it's a war." Li Jin, on the contrary, looked calm. According to his estimation, there will definitely be casualties in this military training, but the number of casualties should not exceed thirty.

This level of casualties is still acceptable.

"You are much calmer now than before." Xu Qingfeng said in surprise after hearing this. If it were in the past, Li Jin probably would not be able to sit still.

"People always have to learn to change." Li Jin didn't say much.

He now has to lead more than 6,000 soldiers. If he doesn't change, it will be easy for something to go wrong, and many people will be killed.

The first company to return was Company 1. Their training location was relatively close to the base.

Li Jin looked at the team and saw many soldiers carrying stretchers with wounded soldiers lying on them. It could be judged that there were about twenty casualties, and the number of casualties was still uncertain.

"It seems that the company has suffered quite a lot of casualties." Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but frowned!

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded!
After waiting for a while, Liu Changshun and others finally came closer.

"Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, we are back." Liu Changshun stepped forward and saluted the two men.

"What are the casualties?!" Li Jin asked directly.

"Two soldiers died, and the rest were seriously injured, but their lives are not in danger. They will recover after recuperating in the hospital for a period of time." Liu Changshun reported the casualties.

If it had been in the past, such casualties should not have occurred, but these soldiers had never trained by fighting bandits before fighting the Japanese, so this situation is normal.
