Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"I haven't seen anyone come back yet, but I guess he will be here soon." Xu Qingfeng replied.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

"Captain." The telegraph operator ran in.

"It must be a telegram sent by the New 1st Regiment." Li Jin said.

"Yes, the new regiment has already set off and will arrive at Niuguang Mountain in ten days. We are asked to go there to meet them then." The telegraph operator announced the contents.

"Okay, got it. Reply to them and say yes." Li Jin instructed.

"Yes." The telegraph operator then left the meeting room.

"As for the plan, there is generally no problem. It all depends on the information from the investigators." Li Jin muttered as he looked at the map.

He had already deduced this several times. As long as there was no personnel transfer on the Japanese side, there would be no need to make any adjustments. As soon as the new regiment arrived, they could set off for Taiyuan.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lu Changgong finally walked in.

"Captain, deputy commander!" Lu Changgong saluted the two of them.

"Tell us quickly about the situation in Taiyuan," Li Jin urged.

"According to the information sent by the investigators, there has been no personnel changes among the Japanese in Taiyuan, and they are still deployed as before." Lu Changgong did not hesitate and quickly reported the news.

"Then there's no problem. Let them keep watching. If anything happens, report it immediately. Do you understand?" Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief and gave instructions.

If there is a personnel change on the Japanese side, we will have to rearrange the plan.

"I understand!" Lu Changgong responded seriously, and he turned and left.

"You can rest assured now." Xu Qingfeng smiled.

"We can't let our guard down now. Who knows if the Japanese will temporarily mobilize troops?" Li Jin responded. He would not be careless. Although it was indeed easy for them to attack an airport, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.

"Yeah." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"I will bring people to pick up the commander in a week. You stay in the base. If the investigators have any news, send me a telegram immediately." Li Jin said.

"Don't worry." Xu Qingfeng agreed.

Li Jin rehearsed the plan with Xu Qingfeng again to make sure there would be no problems. Only then did he feel relieved.

A week passed quickly, and Li Jin set out with the soldiers of the reconnaissance company. On the morning of the tenth day, they arrived at Niuguangshan.

At this time, Li Yunlong and his men had not arrived yet, so Li Jin ordered some soldiers from the reconnaissance company to go and investigate whether there was any situation nearby.

"Lu Changgong, have someone send a telegram to the regiment commander, telling him that we have arrived at Niuguang Mountain and there is no danger nearby." Li Jin instructed Lu Changgong again.

"Okay." Lu Changgong turned around and went to find the telegraph operator.

On the other side, Li Yunlong and his men were only twenty or thirty miles away from Niuguang Mountain, which was not far. He was on the road with the Gray Wolf Squad and a company of Zhang Dabiao.

"Old Li, everything seems to be going well at the moment, and no accidents have occurred in other battalions." Zhao Gang caught up and reported the situation.

"That's good. I estimate that Li Jin and the others will soon reach Niuguang Mountain. We have to hurry up." Li Yunlong said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a telegraph operator ran over.

"Commander, Battalion Commander Li sent a telegram saying that they have arrived..." the telegraph operator reported.

"You see, I told you, this kid Li Jin is very quick and arrived here earlier than us." Li Yunlong smiled.

"Yes, we are now about twenty-seven or twenty-eight miles away from Niuguang Mountain. When we reach twenty miles, we can contact Li Jin using the walkie-talkie." Zhao Gang also said.

These days, he felt that the walkie-talkie in his hand was really useful and convenient. In the absence of telegraph, the walkie-talkie was the fastest tool to contact people nearby.

"Everyone listen up, speed up our advance!" Li Yunlong turned his head to look at the soldiers and gave orders loudly.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers quickened their pace, leaving behind rows of footprints in the woods, but there were soldiers behind them clearing the traces with branches.

Ten minutes later, Li Yunlong took out the walkie-talkie and started contacting Li Jin.

"Hello, hello, this is Li Yunlong, can you hear me?!" he said into the intercom.

"Captain, you are almost here." Li Jin's voice came through the intercom.

"It's almost there. It's about twenty miles away. Please wait for an hour or two." Li Yunlong said.

"no problem."

At the same time, soldiers from other battalions were also rushing towards Niuguang Mountain, which they were actually not far from.

After Li Jin waited at Niuguangshan for more than an hour, a soldier came back to report that he had seen Li Yunlong and his men.

In response, Li Jin also led his men towards Li Yunlong's direction.

A few minutes later, the two sides met in the woods.

"Commander, political commissar, deputy commander, chief of staff! Battalion commander." Li Jinchao saluted several people.

"Li Jin, I heard that you got a promotion." Chief of Staff Zhong looked at Li Jin and said with a smile on his face.

"No, you have to call him Captain Li from now on." Deputy Captain Qian at the side also joined in, and couldn't help but smile while speaking.

"Don't call me that. It's better to call me Li Jin." Li Jin felt a little embarrassed when he heard the teasing from others.

"Haha, you guys, stop teasing Li Jin. If Li Jin becomes our boss someday, he will give you a good beating." Li Yunlong laughed.

"Where are the others?! Haven't they arrived yet?!" Li Jin quickly changed the subject.

"They are still on the way. They will probably be here in half an hour." Li Yunlong said. The road they took was shorter, so they arrived quickly, but it would take some time for others.

After all, they were going through enemy-occupied areas, so they had to be careful to avoid being discovered by the devils. "Well, commander, how many people did you bring this time?" Li Jin nodded and asked.

"Except for the soldiers who stayed behind, basically everyone has come. There are more than 4,500 people participating in the battle." Li Yunlong responded. If he didn't think that so many people would not be needed to capture the airport, he would have wanted to ask Kong Jie to help him guard the base and bring the rest of the people along.

"I will leave some people behind, and the number of people participating in the battle will be around 6,000." Li Jin also told about the arrangements on his side.

"Then our combined military force will be over 10,000. Damn, that's already a lot. Why don't we go attack Taiyuan?!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and when he said this, it didn't sound like he was joking at all, as if he would take the lead if Li Jin agreed.

“Captain, you…” Li Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He didn’t know what to say for a moment. Why was Li Yunlong so obsessed with Taiyuan?

"Old Li, our mission is to blow up the Japanese airport. Don't cause any trouble. When the time comes, the leader will hold you accountable and you won't be able to escape." Zhao Gang quickly brought the leader out, fearing that Li Yunlong would really go to attack Taiyuan. If that happened, and the Japanese were angered, they would be in trouble.

It is easy to attack the Japanese airport, but it is a big problem to attack Taiyuan. After all, it is the Japanese base camp here and there are quite a few Japanese inside.

Although Li Jin was present, the Japanese could not pose much of a threat to them, but there would still be considerable casualties.

"Old Zhao, you are too timid. What are you afraid of? If something happens, just say that Li Jin was the leader. The leader will definitely not punish Li Jin." Li Yunlong said.

Li Jin: "???"

"Captain, do you want to listen to what you are saying?!" Li Jin had a frown on his face. Asking him to take the blame was a joke. He wouldn't do that.

"Just a joke, but seriously, don't you think that people like us might be able to capture Taiyuan?" Li Yunlong asked back.

Although the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment cannot compete with the Japanese in a one-to-one casualty ratio, the Special Operations Battalion, no, it is the Special Operations Regiment, can. With the cooperation of both sides, they can definitely inflict greater losses on the Japanese.

"No, there are too many Japanese devils in Taiyuan now, and their fighting capacity is still strong." Li Jin shook his head. He was not so stubborn. He was not going to attack Taiyuan unless the number of soldiers under his command grew to tens of thousands.

"Old Li, let's play it safe. Let's blow up the Japanese airport and then retreat." Zhao Gang also said. Since Li Jin said they couldn't fight, it was probably true that they couldn't fight.

"Tsk, forget it." Li Yunlong smacked his lips. He felt that this opportunity was indeed a rare and good opportunity, but he still had to consider the overall situation. As for the attack on Taiyuan, he could just postpone it for later.

When the leaders decide to take action against the Japanese, they will take the opportunity to capture Taiyuan. At that time, it will be safer.

"By the way, Li Jin, how is the training performance of your special operations battalion, um, special operations regiment? How many casualties are there?!" asked Zhang Dabiao on the side.

As soon as the words came out, Li Yunlong and the others looked at Li Jin. They also wanted to know the same thing.

"Thirty-two soldiers died, and more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, including many puppet troops. The record is pretty good." Li Jin reported the battle record.

"The casualties are a bit higher than before." Li Yunlong frowned. If it were the special operations battalion in the past, there would not have been such heavy casualties.

Only during the cooperation with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, dozens of soldiers were sacrificed. But at that time, they had to face more than 20,000 Japanese devils, so sacrificing only dozens of people was already very good.

This time, more than 30 people died in just an ordinary military training.

"No way, they are new soldiers, and there are no bandits training them, and their training intensity is only one-fifth of that of the previous soldiers at most.

This time, only 32 people were injured or killed in the training, which is already very good." Li Jin explained that if the training intensity of these new recruits was the same as that of the previous soldiers, and there were still such a large number of casualties, then there would be a problem.

"You're right. To train these soldiers, you need to consume much more supplies than we do." Li Yunlong could also understand. If Li Jin didn't have an arsenal to support him, these new recruits would probably not be trained so well.

"Come to think of it, my military training this time gave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army a big scare." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Why, you ran to the direction close to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to fight the Japanese?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

"You kid, you're such a jerk. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army must be ready to eat you up." Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Even Zhao Gang couldn't help laughing.

"They definitely want to eat me, but they are more afraid of me. Not long after I started training, Chu Yunfei sent a telegram.
They asked me if I had any plans for the next step. I said no, I was just training the troops, and they immediately invited me to cooperate in attacking Fucheng. " Li Jin told them what happened.

"Damn it, it would be strange if they weren't scared when you said the word 'training'. It's no wonder they took the next step.
They are trying to get you to cooperate just to build a good relationship with you, so as to avoid you from fighting with them in the future, because then they won't be able to stop your attack." Li Yunlong made an analysis.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was well aware of Li Jin's combat effectiveness. He dared to recruit more than 20,000 Japanese devils with only more than 1,000 people under his command. Later, when they fought together, they annihilated the Japanese devils in a devastating way. Who would not be afraid?

It has only been a short time since then, and Li Jin's army has grown to several thousand people, and their combat effectiveness is still so terrifying. It would be strange if he didn't want to establish a good relationship with them, so he took the initiative to send money to their door.

"Li Jin, do you agree to cooperate?!" Zhao Gang asked.

"I agree, but it will take a month." Li Jin nodded in response.

"How much money did they pay you to cooperate?!" Zhang Dabiao also asked. He was quite interested in this.

"I offer one hundred and fifty thousand dollars." Li Jin stated the price.

"What?! Fifteen dollars?!" Li Yunlong and the others were shocked. Attacking the floating city might be difficult for others, but it was easy for Li Jin.

"Did they agree?!" Zhao Gang swallowed and asked.

"No, at the beginning they directly bargained for 70,000 oceans, and then I told them that the minimum was 145,000 oceans, so they stopped bargaining and chose to agree." Li Jin shook his head and then explained the whole process.

"One hundred and fourteen thousand dollars?! That's not a small amount. This deal is worth it. However, why don't they bargain more? This is probably not your bottom line, right?!" Chief of Staff Zhong said with a frown.

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was considered wealthy, they would not give away hundreds of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.

"Or, he wants to use money to strengthen his cooperation with me," said Li Jin.

"Tsk, you're really awesome, but have you forgotten that you have to go to Yan'an after blowing up the airport?" Li Yunlong admires Li Jin very much. When it comes to making money, Li Jin is always so strong.

After just a few collaborations, he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars. Half of the people couldn't do this, but only Li Jin could do it.

"So, I plan to let Xu Qingfeng cooperate with them, and I won't get involved. I feel more at ease with him around." Li Jin said.

"That's fine." Li Yunlong nodded in agreement. Xu Qingfeng's ability was beyond doubt.

"However, I think you should let Xu Qingfeng be more vigilant. I'm worried that someone over there might do something wrong to you." Chief of Staff Zhong said. He was worried that something unexpected might happen at that time.

"Well, I know what you mean. You are afraid that someone over there will sell us out, right? Don't worry, I will tell Old Xu well. He is not that stupid. Of course, there is a high probability that they dare not do so because they are not sure." Li Jin said.
