Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Battalion Commander, the translation is ready." The telegraph operator ran over and handed the translated telegram to Li Jin.

"Brother Mu, how are you these days?! I heard recently that an unknown group of forces attacked the Japanese, causing considerable casualties to them.

I thought about it and found that no other unit could have such a strong fighting power. Finally, I thought of you. Only the unit you lead has such a strong fighting power.
So, I want to ask, is this matter related to you? If it is really you, do you still want to cooperate? I am ready at any time. "Li Jin slowly read out the telegram.

"Chu Yunfei, if you want to ask something, just ask directly, instead of beating around the bush." ​​Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He probably felt that asking directly was inappropriate.

"That's what intellectuals are like." Li Jin also smiled.

"Then reply to him directly and tell him that we are just training and have no plans for the next step." Xu Qingfeng said.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded. He had originally planned to say this to Chu Yunfei. He picked up a pen and wrote on the paper. After finishing, he handed the paper to the telegraph operator.

"Battalion Commander, then I'll send it directly?!" the telegraph operator asked tentatively.

"No rush, wait ten minutes before sending it." Li Jin said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." The telegraph operator nodded, and then asked, "Battalion Commander, I just heard that you were promoted to regimental commander?!"

"Well, from now on we will no longer be a special operations battalion, but a special operations regiment." Li Jin nodded in acknowledgment.

"What?! He was really promoted to regiment commander?!" the telegraph operator said in surprise, his voice was very loud. The other staff in the communication room also looked at Li Jin and they all stood up.

"Battalion Commander, have you been promoted to regiment commander?!" someone asked.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded again helplessly.

"Oh my god, he became a regiment commander not long after being promoted to battalion commander. Could he be a brigade commander in a year?!"

"Is that even a question? Of course."

"Then the deputy battalion commander is the political commissar?!"

"Who is the operations chief of staff?! Where is the deputy commander?!"

Everyone was talking at once. They were really shocked. It took less than three years for a platoon leader to be promoted to regiment commander. The speed of promotion was really like a growth of sesame seeds.

"Stop, stop, stop, shut up!" Li Jin was a little annoyed by the noise and quickly asked everyone to shut up.

"I am the regiment commander and chief of operations staff, and your deputy battalion commander is the political commissar and deputy regiment commander. Do you understand?" Li Jin explained.

"I understand." Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Commander, can these two positions be held concurrently?!" Someone wondered. If the battalion or company level officials could hold these two positions concurrently, it would be understandable, but can the deputy commander and chief of operations staff also be held concurrently? These are considered mid-level positions.

"There's nothing wrong with that. The leader has agreed." Li Jin smiled.

"Our battalion commander is indeed very capable. He is valued so highly by the leader."

"You're still calling me battalion commander. You should call me regiment commander."

"Yes, yes, it's my problem."

Several people talked.

"Alright, alright, disperse and don't gather here!" Li Jin waved his hand.

But the discussion among the crowd did not stop. They returned to their seats and continued to whisper to each other. Naturally, what they were discussing was the promotion of Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng.

During this period, Chu Yunfei couldn't wait any longer.

.........

Chu Yunfei, the operations chief of staff, the deputy regiment commander, Qian Bojun and others were all waiting in the communications room.

"Commander, what's going on with Mu Jin? It's been almost half an hour and there's been no movement. Are they too lazy to pay attention to us?

This is too much. After all, we were partners who fought side by side. How can you just ignore us after the battle is over?!" Qian Bojun walked back and forth, getting a little impatient.

After learning that an unknown group of forces attacked the Japanese, he guessed that it must have been done by Mu Jin and his men.

Because apart from Mu Jin, no other army could do that. With only four or five thousand people, they could annihilate so many enemies in one night. Therefore, it could only be Mu Jin's army that did it.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Perhaps they just can't find the code book for translating telegrams for the time being." Compared to Qian Bojun, Chu Yunfei seemed calmer. He sat on the chair and took a sip of tea after he finished speaking.

"How is that possible? This is the code book, something more important than life. They wouldn't just throw it away." Qian Bojun didn't believe that Mu Jin and the others wouldn't be able to find the code book.

"Don't forget, this code book was given to us by Mu Jin when he first started working with us. They would never use this code book to communicate internally." Chu Yunfei said slowly.

To them, this code book is very important, but to Mu Jin, the code book was only used when contacting them at that time.

Mu Jin's troops had their own code book, otherwise, whatever Mu Jin and his men did would be known to them, which was absolutely impossible.

Plus, they seldom contacted Mu Jin, so the other party didn't care about the code book at all. It was normal that it was put away and could not be found for a while.

"That's right." Qian Bojun nodded after hearing this. It seemed that he overestimated their position in Mu Jin's heart.

"Commander, if what you said is true, will Mu Jin throw away the code book as soon as it's over?!" At this time, the deputy commander said.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Yunfei was stunned.

"Impossible. It's a code book after all. They had already prepared it before they cooperated with us. It took a lot of effort to make the code book. How could it be lost just like that?" Chu Yunfei thought about it carefully before explaining.

It takes a lot of time to make a code book, and he doesn't believe that Mu Jin will throw it away.

Moreover, they had cooperated with Mu Jin to fight the Japanese for quite a long time, so it was no exaggeration to say that they had gone through life and death together.

No matter what, Mu Jin would not throw away the code book.

"That's hard to say. Mu Jin doesn't seem to have a very good impression of our Jinsui Army, especially since the commander threatened him at the time. Maybe he threw away the code book as soon as he left and doesn't want to have anything to do with us at all." The chief of operations staff also began to analyze.

If the commander hadn't threatened Mu Jin to train his soldiers, maybe Mu Jin wouldn't have thrown it away, but the problem is that the commander threatened, and no one would feel comfortable. "Yeah, if I was threatened, I would have thrown the code book away long ago. What the higher-ups did was really unkind, but Mu Jin and his men were so powerful. If it was someone else, the outcome might have been different." The deputy regiment commander also agreed with what the operations chief of staff said.

With Mu Jin's personality, he would never accept any threats.

“This…” Chu Yunfei was a little unsure for a moment. If he went to help others and ended up being threatened after defeating the Japanese, he would not be able to swallow this.

"No, Mu Jin is not that kind of person. We did not provoke him. Although Mu Jin is not very friendly to the Shanxi Suiyuan Army,

But he was still good to our 358th Regiment. When he taught us soldiers how to fight, he was very serious and even explained some methods. Such a person would never choose to ignore us because of these things. "Chu Yunfei shook his head and continued.

Although he had not spent a particularly long time with Mu Jin, he could feel that Mu Jin was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.

"I hope so. This time he attacked the Japanese again, and the number of them has grown to four or five thousand. He killed so many Japanese in one go. I dare not imagine if we meet them, whether we have any chance of winning." The deputy commander said with emotion.

After fighting so many battles, the most satisfying thing was when I cooperated with Mu Jin and others to fight the Japanese. Although it was a little exciting, killing the Japanese was really easy, just like killing a chicken.

Suddenly, there was movement on the telegraph operator's side and the telegraph began to receive signals. The operator hurriedly wrote down the numbers and planned to translate them later.

"You see, I told you, Mu Jin is not that kind of person." Chu Yunfei felt relieved. Although he had believed that Mu Jin would not be like that before, he was indeed worried that Mu Jin would really ignore them.

If that were the case, Mu Jin would probably attack the Japanese at will and continue to irritate them. The key point was that the other side would take the credit for the victory.

"Translate quickly." The deputy head urged.

"Yes!" The telegraph operator nodded quickly. He took the code book and began to translate, but this was not their own code book after all, so the translation was not that fast.

It took him several minutes to translate the telegram.

Chu Yunfei couldn't wait to snatch the telegram and check it.

"Training?!" Chu Yunfei was stunned after reading it, and the others also gathered together to check.

"Damn it, so, Mu Jin's army has really grown to this number of people?!" Qian Bojun couldn't believe it. It had only been a short time, and Mu Jin had really grown to this point.

He had some doubts before, but now he completely believes it.

"Speaking of which, in the Battle of Changsha, Commander Liang killed more than 10,000 Japanese devils. Mu Jin should have been involved, right?!" The Chief of Staff couldn't help but think of this.

At that time, he thought that Commander Liang and his men were so powerful that they were able to eliminate so many Japanese devils. Now it seems that things are not that simple.

"Needless to say, this must be the case. Don't forget, Commander Han was also fighting the Japanese with us at the time. They knew Commander Liang earlier than we did. There is a high probability that Commander Liang asked Mu Jin for help in the Battle of Changsha." The deputy regiment commander also said.

If it weren't for Mu Jin's help, he really wouldn't believe that Liang Gu could use the strength of an army to defeat more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and wipe them out completely. This is something that no other army can do.

"The question is, if Mu Jin had gone to help at that time, how did they manage to recruit soldiers while fighting?!" Qian Bojun was a little confused.

"Need I say more? When Mu Jin went to help, he didn't bring all his troops with him. Instead, he left some behind to recruit soldiers." Chu Yunfei explained. This was the only explanation that made sense.

"So that's how it is. But even if that's the case, there's probably a very capable guy among the group of people left behind by Mu Jin." Qian Bojun suddenly realized and continued.

"I guess Mu Jin kept the guy named Xu Qingfeng. Although this guy didn't have a strong presence at the time, it can be seen that Mu Jin valued him very much." Chu Yunfei continued to analyze.

If Xu Qingfeng's ability was average, he would not have been valued so much by Mu Jin.

"Mu Jin's troops are really outrageous. Every soldier is very strong and literate. They can become officers by joining any troop. If you don't know, you would think that this troop is composed of officers." The chief of operations staff also said that the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mu Jin's troops were scary.

Their 358th Regiment was completely incomparable to the other side and was simply crushed by the other side.

When everyone heard this, they fell silent, because what the chief of staff said was indeed the truth.

"Commander, don't you still have to report to the division commander? Call him right away." The deputy commander hurriedly was shocked by the developments of Mu Jin and the others.

"I almost forgot." Chu Yunfei reacted, quickly went to the phone and started calling his commander.

.........

On the other side, Master Zhang was walking back and forth in the communications room. He was waiting for news from Chu Yunfei. Mu Jin's action really scared him.

After waiting for a while, Commander Yan also came over.

"What's the matter? Still no news?!" Commander Yan had a serious look on his face. He felt a little embarrassed. In fact, it was not the most frightening thing that Mu Jin attacked the Japanese without giving any notice.

They were afraid that after the other party attacked the Japanese, they would ignore them and would not talk about any cooperation. Then they would continue to fight the Japanese and attract the Japanese's hatred to their side.

To be honest, he was really a little scared. The Japanese's targeting caused him to suffer heavy losses, which were more than the casualties he suffered when he cooperated with Mu Jin to fight the Japanese.

"Commander, there is no news from Chu Yunfei yet. I guess he is also waiting for Mu Jin's reply." Commander Zhang stood up and said.

"Well, tell me when you have news." Commander Yan nodded, turned and left. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to stay calm. After all, he was a commander, so how could he be so impatient?

When Commander Zhang saw Commander Yan leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

Ring ring ring......

Just then, the phone rang.

"Yunfei, what's the situation?" Commander Zhang answered the phone quickly and asked immediately.

"Commander, Mu Jin replied that there is no next plan. They were training, so they took action against the Japanese." Chu Yunfei's voice came from the phone.

"What?! Military training?! Wow, it really is military training." Commander Zhang took a breath of cold air. Although he had guessed it before, he still felt a little scared when he confirmed it.

Mu Jin only had over a thousand men, but he beat the Japanese into such a state. Now with 4,000 to 5,000 men, how terrifying would their fighting power be?!
"Master, Mu Jin's strength is getting stronger and stronger. I think we should strengthen our connection with him. If we can get him over, that would be the best. Even if we can't, we can't let them go to the other side." Chu Yunfei said slowly.

Mu Jin's army is too terrifying, no one can defeat them, so he doesn't want to fight with them one day.

He would rather fight the Japanese than fight Mu Jin's troops. There is no way he can defeat such an opponent. There is simply no hope at all.
