Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Could they have some other plans and want to cooperate with us again?!" the lieutenant general hesitated and then said.

The other party did the same thing last time, but at that time he was wearing their clothes and pretending to be them. I don’t know if it will be the same this time!
"If they want to cooperate, they should at least tell us in advance so that we can be mentally prepared!" Commander Yan was still very angry. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"Maybe they are worried that we won't cooperate with them?! So, they don't say anything directly, and then they take action against the Japanese, forcing us to cooperate." The lieutenant general guessed.

When their Jinsui Army was targeted by the Japanese, many people were killed and injured. If Mu Jin proposed cooperation again, Commander Yan might really disagree, after all, they had already suffered a lot.

"That's not right. Why do Mu Jin and his group suddenly have so many people? Are they cooperating with the Eighth Route Army?!" Commander Yan reacted at this time.

Last time, the other party had more than a thousand people, how come there are so many more people all of a sudden? Could it be that they have developed during this period of time? !

But the other party's development speed is too fast. The number of people has increased several times in a short time.

"It's very likely. I feel that Mu Jin has a good impression of the Eighth Route Army and they have cooperated several times. So, Mu Jin has joined forces with the Eighth Route Army." The lieutenant general felt that this possibility was still very high.

"Still, that's not right. No matter how we interact with them, they won't hide the cooperation from us. It's very likely that they are someone developed by Mu Jin." Commander Yan overturned this conjecture.

"That's true." The lieutenant general couldn't help but frowned and continued, "If that's the case, the number of Mu Jin has grown to four or five thousand.
Moreover, judging from their combat performance, even if these new recruits are not as good as the veterans, they are still better than our elite soldiers.”

"Yes, that's true." Commander Yan nodded. He knew the combat effectiveness of Mu Jin's troops. Each of his soldiers were veterans who had experienced many battles and their combat effectiveness was stronger than that of the Japanese.

The combat effectiveness of the new recruits trained by the other side would not be much different. Of course, this is only compared with their own troops. If compared with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, those new recruits would be far ahead of them.

"The enemy's combat effectiveness is so strong with only one or two thousand people. If they train all these new recruits, they will be a force that cannot be ignored.

Especially since Mu Jin is good at all kinds of combat methods, if this unit had been our enemy that day, I would have been really worried that they would have been able to easily attack our headquarters." When the lieutenant general said this, his hair stood on end and his scalp felt numb.

If it were an ordinary army, they would not be afraid even if it consisted of tens of thousands of people, let alone a few thousand. However, Mu Jin's army was ridiculously strong and it was simply not something that ordinary people could train.

After hearing this, Commander Yan also felt a chill on his neck. He thought that if such a day came, he would probably not be able to escape.

"Damn it! If Mu Jin was willing to hand over his method of training soldiers, we would have a powerful army now.
Will you still be afraid of them then?!" the lieutenant continued.

But he also knew that it was impossible to force Mu Jin to hand over his training methods. When Commander Yan met Mu Jin, even though he was threatened, Mu Jin was not afraid at all. He even said that once he died, his soldiers would immediately attack the headquarters and kill them.

The words were very arrogant, but they really didn't dare to act rashly, because the opponent's strength was so terrifying.

Not to mention now, Mu Jin's troops have already grown. Not to mention them, even if the Japanese knew about it, they would probably tremble in fear.

"Let Chu Yunfei contact them and ask them about the situation. If they want to cooperate, it's not impossible." Commander Yan thought for a moment and spoke.

When Chu Yunfei was working with Mu Jin to fight the Japanese, Mu Jin gave Chu Yunfei a code book, so Chu Yunfei was able to contact the other party.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The lieutenant general nodded and left the room.

Commander Yan came to the window and looked at the setting sun in the distance with a somewhat complicated mood. He had fought in wars for most of his life and had never felt so aggrieved.

I didn't expect that I would be so annoyed by a junior now. Could it be that he is too old? !
.........

In the communications room, the lieutenant general picked up the phone and immediately called Chu Yunfei.

"I'm Chu Yunfei." Chu Yunfei's voice came from the phone.

"It's me." The lieutenant general said.

"Commander, are there any combat orders?!" Chu Yunfei asked, thinking that the commander had a combat plan.

"Not this one, you still remember that Mu Jin, right?!"

"I remember. What happened to him?!" Chu Yunfei responded. Of course he remembered Mu Jin. Since he started cooperating with him, it was the easiest time for him to fight the Japanese. But why did the division commander mention him for no reason?

"This kid attacked the Japanese again..." Commander Zhang began to tell everything in detail.

"What the Master means is... the other party wants to cooperate with us again?!" Chu Yunfei roughly guessed what the Master wanted to do.

"I think it's possible. The commander asked you to send a telegram to Mu Jin, asking what's going on. If you want to cooperate, we can consider it." Division Commander Zhang conveyed Commander Yan's order.

"Yes, I'll send a telegram right away."

"That's it for now. Once you've made the connection, call me again. I'll be waiting for your news." After saying that, Master Zhang hung up the phone.

.........

On the other side, in the office, Chu Yunfei put down the phone in his hand.

"Qian Bojun, go to the data room immediately and find the code book from Mu Jin. I will write a telegram and you take it to the communications room to send it to Mu Jin." Chu Yunfei said to Qian Bojun in front of him.

"Yes." After hearing this, Qian Bojun hurriedly left the office, and Chu Yunfei also took out paper and pen and began to write a telegram.

The chief of staff sitting opposite him was hesitant to speak. He really wanted to ask what had happened, but when he saw Chu Yunfei writing a telegram, he had to give up the idea.

Soon, Chu Yunfei finished writing the telegram.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask." Chu Yunfei put down his pen and looked at the chief of staff.

"The call from the division commander was related to Mu Jin?!" the chief of staff asked.

"Well, Mu Jin has attacked the Japanese again, and the scope is not small, almost the same as the last time we cooperated." Chu Yunfei did not hide it and said it directly.

"What?! Doesn't that mean that Mu Jin's current number of people has reached four or five thousand?!" The chief of staff gasped.

More than a thousand people on the other side would be enough to piss off the Japanese, but now there are so many of them, they will definitely make a big fuss.

"They are indeed developing quite fast. The number of our 358th Regiment is just over 5,000, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is not even a bit better than Mu Jin's troops." Chu Yunfei also felt a little troubled. Since the end of the cooperation with Mu Jin, the number of the 358th Regiment has increased by more than 2,000 to almost 3,000. With the addition of those veterans with combat experience, their 358th Regiment can be regarded as a real elite force.

But even so, if he were to fight against Mu Jin's more than a thousand people at that time, he would not have any chance of winning. Therefore, when he learned that Mu Jin's army had grown to four or five thousand people, he felt it was so troublesome.

The key point is that the soldiers trained by Mu Jin are all capable of becoming officers. If their new recruits are also like this, it would be really scary.

"Commander, I think we are overthinking it. Even if the number of Mu Jin soldiers increases to this level, the combat effectiveness of the new soldiers will never be stronger than that of the old soldiers.

Although Mu Jin captured a lot of supplies at that time, I think these supplies can't support him to train these soldiers to be as strong as veterans. "The chief of staff said to comfort him.

Mu Jin's soldiers all required a huge amount of supplies to train. The material consumption for just over a thousand people was already very high. At the same time, to train four or five thousand people to this standard, the supplies were simply not enough. Therefore, Mu Jin could only reduce the consumption of supplies.

"I understand, but even so, those new recruits are still better than us, as can be seen from their actions this time.

In one night, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers and many puppet troops were wiped out. This record has proven that

Even if Mu Jin's new recruits are not trained according to the standards of veterans, they are still very strong." Chu Yunfei naturally understood what the chief of staff said.

But no matter what the other party is doing, they are stronger than them, and it can be seen easily.

"It's really troublesome. When the Japanese were here, Mu Jin fought them. But if the Japanese are really driven out one day and they become our enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable." The chief of staff couldn't help but shudder.

Especially Mu Jin seemed to have always disliked them. This could be seen from the fact that he attacked the Japanese without saying a word to them.

"It's a pity that Mu Jin refuses to come and work for us." Chu Yunfei sighed. He admired Mu Jin very much.

It's amazing that with a small number of Northeastern Army, they were able to train such strong soldiers, and there were so many of them.

"Yes, the commander offered him the condition of becoming a division commander, but Mu Jin refused without even thinking about it. The high position and generous salary were nothing to him.
This kind of person is noble, but for us, it is a trouble. I just hope that there will never be a day when I have to fight Mu Jin. "The chief of staff also sighed after saying this.

The person who does not care about high positions and generous salaries and has a powerful army to fight is the most difficult to deal with, especially the opponent's command ability and overall view, which are far beyond ordinary people. It is simply scary to have such a person as their opponent.

"Yeah." Chu Yunfei also nodded in agreement with the chief of staff's statement. It was not that he was belittling his own troops. If compared with other troops, he dared to say that the 358th Regiment was very strong, but he had witnessed Mu Jin's strength with his own eyes. It was really unlikely that he would win in a battle with such an opponent.

Unless Mu Jin suddenly died during the battle, but is that possible? Even if Mu Jin died, the officers under him were all very capable and could still command the battle.

"Commander, I found the code book." Qian Bojun ran back breathlessly, holding the code book that Mu Jin had given them.

He searched for a long time in the data room before he found it. He almost thought he had lost the code book, but luckily he found it.

"Take the telegram and send it to the communications room. Come back and report when you have any news." Chu Yunfei handed the written telegram to Qian Bojun.

"Yes!" Qian Bojun took the telegram and turned to leave.

.........

In Tianli Mountains, when Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng just walked out of the meeting room, the telegraph operator hurried over.

"Battalion Commander, we received a telegram, but it was not sent by our troops, nor by Commander Liang." The telegraph operator came running to report. He felt a little strange as to how such a telegram could be sent.

"This should be a telegram from Chu Yunfei. You just need to find the code book and translate it." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Chu Yunfei?!" The telegraph operator was stunned. The name sounded a little familiar.

"They are from the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We have cooperated with them before and gave them a code book. Did you lose it?!" Li Jin asked later.

If that was the case, he was too lazy to send a telegram to Chu Yunfei to explain, leaving the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in fear.

"So it was him. I remember that I kept the code book and didn't lose it. I'll translate it now." The telegraph operator suddenly realized what was going on and turned around and left.

"Just as expected, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent a telegram to inquire about this." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"I feel like what we are doing is not very good!" Li Jin suddenly said this. For some reason he felt that he was in the wrong. It was somewhat immoral to let the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army take the blame for them twice.

"Why, when you chose the area near the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for training, didn't you think that it was not a good idea?!" Xu Qingfeng was a little helpless. This guy, he had done it, and then turned around and said it was not a good idea.

"Hehe, that's right." Li Jin smiled and took Xu Qingfeng to the communication room.

When they arrived at the communications room, the telegraph operator was flipping through the code book. Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng found a seat and sat down.

"Old Xu, give me a pen." Li Jin extended his hand to Xu Qingfeng.

"Here you go." Xu Qingfeng took the pen from his pocket and handed it to Li Jin, who took it and started writing a new telegram.

After searching for several minutes, the telegraph operator finally found the code book at the bottom of the pile of documents.

In fact, it’s not his fault. After all, they had basically no contact after the cooperation with the 358th Regiment ended. If Li Jin hadn’t reminded him, he would have almost forgotten about the code book.

"Battalion Commander, I found it." the telegraph operator shouted.

"What are you waiting for? Let's translate it quickly," said Li Jin.

"Yes." The telegraph operator quickly sat down to translate.

"The fact that you are the regiment commander should be made known to the soldiers. Go to each company's base tomorrow and take a tour." Xu Qingfeng reminded them that Li Jin is the regiment commander now, so he should let the soldiers call him the regiment commander.

"Well, okay." Li Jin nodded. There were indeed many soldiers who didn't know about his promotion to regiment commander, so he told them about it.
