Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Li Jin knew very well what Li Yunlong meant. He was worried that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would set a trap for him, so he told him to be careful.

"That's true. With your combat effectiveness, it's easy to capture a floating city. Even if they want to set a trap, they have to consider whether the Japanese have the ability to destroy you." Li Yunlong said.

If Li Jin is not eliminated, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will probably be worried and unable to sleep well, so the probability of a conspiracy is still very small.

"Let's not talk about my side. Did the New 1st Regiment suffer heavy casualties during this training?!" Li Jin changed the subject.

"Compared to you, it is naturally larger. In this operation, more than 200 soldiers were sacrificed and more than 200 were injured.
However, we have annihilated thousands of Japanese soldiers, including a large number of puppet troops, so this is still acceptable." When Li Yunlong said this, a bit of pride appeared on his face.

If it were in the past, it would have been impossible for their New 1st Regiment to annihilate so many Japanese devils on their own without Li Jin's help.

But now, the strength of the New 1st Regiment is far superior to before. Even without Li Jin's help, it can still achieve outstanding results in a surprise attack on the Japanese.

"Great, you're worthy of being the regiment commander!" Li Jin gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up and praised him from the bottom of his heart. Seeing the growing strength of the New 1st Regiment, he was also happy.

Although he has left the New First Regiment, he still belongs to it in his heart.

"Of course. I am your captain after all. No matter what, I can't be much worse than you," Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"That's right, captain." Li Jin quickly agreed.

"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated the commander yet on capturing a cavalry battalion's war horses. Now the new regiment also has a cavalry unit." Li Jin changed the subject and began to congratulate Li Yunlong on capturing the war horses.

"Fuck it, congratulations." When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately started to curse and looked a little aggrieved.

"What's wrong?! Can't a cavalry battalion satisfy your appetite?!" Li Jin looked like he didn't know what was going on.

"Speaking of this makes me angry. I have to hand over all the war horses I captured. A whole cavalry battalion's worth of war horses. As soon as the commander opened his mouth,
I only have one cavalry company left, it would be great if I didn’t have to hand it in.” Li Yunlong kept saying this, his tone full of complaints.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you're angry." Li Jin said he could understand.

"In order to get this batch of war horses, I ran back and forth for nearly two hundred miles, and it was snowing. It was so hard. I finally seized them, but in the end it was all in vain." Li Yunlong looked into the distance, still feeling sorry for the batch of war horses that had been surrendered.

If he doesn't hand it over, he will be able to have a cavalry battalion, and then the combat effectiveness of the new regiment will be greatly improved.

"Old Li, don't say that. The surrender is for the good of the troops. Besides, you mobilized a battalion of troops without authorization, and the commander hasn't settled accounts with you yet. He even left a cavalry company for you. That's enough." Zhao Gang couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out.

When troops seize supplies, that has to be considered for the overall situation. The superiors will naturally distribute the supplies reasonably. How can we allow the troops to keep all the seized supplies to themselves?

"Old Zhao, what you said is very unscrupulous. Given the situation at that time, I had no time to report. If I went too late, not to mention the war horses, even the day lilies would be cold." Li Yunlong said somewhat unconvinced.

Zhao Gang didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, what Li Yunlong said was indeed true. If that batch of war horses hadn't gone fast enough, it might not have been their turn.

"Commander, the second battalion commander and his men are here." Li Jin looked into the distance and saw the second battalion commander of the new first regiment leading his troops towards this side.

"Yeah." Li Yunlong also looked over, then he took out his walkie-talkie and began to contact other troops, asking them one by one where they were.

"Li Jin, long time no see." The second battalion commander smiled when he saw Li Jin.

"Long time no see." Li Jin also smiled.

"You're great, kid. You've been promoted to regiment commander. Your promotion speed is really enviable." The second battalion commander slapped Li Jin on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Jin said modestly.

"Da Biao, how do you feel when you see that your subordinates suddenly have higher ranks than you?" The second battalion commander looked at Zhang Da Biao standing aside and asked.

"How can I feel? Of course I am happy for him. I thought this guy was good and had a bright future, so I promoted him to be a platoon leader.

Facts have proved that I have a good eye and I didn’t make a mistake in choosing someone.” Zhang Dabiao said this with a smile on his face.

He was genuinely happy about Li Jin's achievements, although he was a little depressed when he first learned that Li Jin's rank was higher than his.

But when he thought of Li Jin's contributions, he felt that Li Jin would be able to take on a higher position, let alone become the head of the group.

"You have a really good vision, kid. Damn it, why don't I have such capable men under my command?" The second battalion commander smacked his lips, thinking of the officers in his own battalion.

Although it is much stronger than other troops, it is far behind Li Jin. Many officers of the same rank as Li Jin have not changed yet.

"Just be content. Why do you have to compare yourself with Li Jin? This guy can fight, train soldiers, and even make guns and walkie-talkies. Among his peers, no one can compare to him." Zhang Dabiao smiled and said.

"Yeah, I suspect this guy is not a human at all, otherwise how could he know everything." said the second battalion commander.

"How can you talk like that? What do you mean by not being a human being? It's Li Jin who is very capable." Zhang Dabiao felt uncomfortable when he heard this and retorted immediately.

"Yes, yes, it's my problem." The second battalion commander quickly admitted his mistake.

Li Jin couldn't help but smile as he watched the two bickering.

Then the group waited here for an hour before the troops of the new regiment gathered here.

Li Jin looked at those soldiers. They were not very old, mostly around fifteen or sixteen years old. However, they had left their youth behind. After participating in the battle, they had grown up and become less naive.

This is also the reason why new recruits must experience actual combat in order to grow up. Combat is the fastest way for soldiers to grow.

"What do you think? The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment are pretty good, right?" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"Well, very strong. Apart from the Special Operations Regiment, the New 1st Regiment is the strongest." Li Jin also gave his evaluation. The combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment, with the same number of people, is simply unmatched by other troops, whether in terms of individual combat capability or weapons.

"I don't dare to think about competing with you. If they can compete with the Japanese one day, I will be very happy." Li Yunlong did not dare to ask for too much.

He would be satisfied if the New 1st Regiment was as strong as the Japanese. As for the Special Operations Regiment, it could not be viewed with conventional eyes. The two sides were not on the same level at all.

Besides, even if he wanted to make the New 1st Regiment as powerful as the Special Operations Battalion, he didn't have that many supplies. If he had enough supplies, he would dare to give it a try.

"Let's go!" Li Yunlong gave an order and asked everyone to go out and start to move towards the Tianli Mountains. Along the way, Li Jin was also chatting with several battalion commanders of the New 1st Regiment, especially the fourth battalion commander Song Yi, who was also Li Jin's old battalion commander.

"I am really happy to see you promoted to regiment leader. It won't be long before you are promoted to a higher position." Song Yi said as he walked.

"Actually, whether I get promoted or not is not a big deal for me. The important thing is to defeat the Japanese invaders." Li Jin responded. He really didn't care whether he could get promoted or not. These were all empty words to him. Only defeating the Japanese invaders could make him happy.

"Well, be neither arrogant nor impatient, that's how a person should be. I was a little worried that you would become arrogant after becoming the leader, but it seems I was too worried." Song Yi was very satisfied with Li Jin's answer.

He had seen some people with great abilities before. They were fine at the beginning, but once they were promoted, they started to put on airs. There were quite a few people like this, so he was worried that Li Jin would become like this.

If Li Jin really becomes like this, he will be worried, because once his original intention changes, he will become blindly arrogant!

"Battalion Commander, don't worry. I will never become that kind of person. If I were that kind of person, the leader would not value me so much." Li Jin said with a smile.

The chief has met more people than he has eaten salt. He can probably tell whether someone has good or bad character at a glance.

"Yeah." Song Yi nodded in agreement after hearing this. He had seen all kinds of big shots like the leader.

"I'll send a telegram to Xu Qingfeng first, asking him to lead the troops out of the mountains." Li Jin called the telegraph operator and gave instructions.

"Li Jin, are we going directly to the Japanese airport?!" Li Yunlong also spoke at this time.

"Well, the plan is the same as expected. After we meet up with Xu Qingfeng, we will have a meeting and discuss the specific plan again." Li Jin nodded. He was worried that something unexpected might happen, so it would be better and safer to blow up the Japanese airport as soon as possible.

"That's fine. I can't wait any longer." Li Yunlong said. He led his troops so far just to blow up the Japanese airport as soon as possible.

"Li Jin, I think the plan to attack the airport should remain unchanged. Let the New 1st Regiment send people to participate." Li Yunlong said. He also wanted to participate in the attack on the airport instead of blocking the Japanese reinforcements.

"Okay, it won't have much impact." Li Jin nodded in agreement. In fact, even if Li Yunlong didn't come, he was confident that he could blow up the airport.

Of course, once Li Yunlong arrived, he was sure that he could annihilate the Japanese reinforcements as well. Therefore, letting part of the New 1st Regiment participate in the attack on the airport would not affect the overall plan.

Unless Li Yunlong wants to let all the people in the New 1st Regiment attack the airport and let the Special Operations Regiment block the Japanese reinforcements. If that happens, the New 1st Regiment will probably suffer heavy casualties. However, Li Yunlong is not a fool and would not do such a thing.

.........

Tianli Mountains, base area.

Xu Qingfeng was counting the supplies needed for this operation in the warehouse. In fact, everything had already been prepared. He was just checking to make sure he didn't leave without enough supplies.

"Deputy battalion commander, no, political commissar, we have counted everything and nothing is left out." A soldier came to report the situation. He was still not used to the fact that Xu Qingfeng had become the political commissar, so he was used to calling him deputy battalion commander.

"Well, get ready." Xu Qingfeng nodded. He took out the walkie-talkie and contacted other battalion commanders, asking them to count the supplies and make sure they were enough for them.

"Political Commissar, the regiment commander sent a telegram saying that he has received the members of the new regiment. Now we should prepare to go out of the mountain so that we can meet up in time." The telegraph operator ran in at this time and informed him of the contents of the telegram.

"Tell the team leader that we are ready. We will be there almost when they arrive." Xu Qingfeng gave the order. He didn't say it too absolutely. If it snowed in the next two days, it would affect the schedule.

"Yes!" The telegraph operator trotted away.

Xu Qingfeng used the intercom to contact the battalion commanders again, telling them to take the supplies and set off immediately after counting them.

.........

Three days later, around three in the afternoon.

Xu Qingfeng has already brought his men to the woods outside the western mountains.

The peaks of the mountains are covered with snow, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and strong winds blow from time to time, blowing up thousands of piles of snow.

Xu Qingfeng and the others were all wearing cotton-padded clothes, their faces were red from the cold, and the soldiers gathered together to keep warm.

"Hiss... This weather is really freezing my hands. I feel like the bolt is about to be frozen." Liu Changshun took a deep breath and blew into his hands from time to time. The cold temperature turned his exhaled breath into white mist.

"Overcome it, and tell the soldiers to be careful and check their guns before the battle. Don't let the guns get frozen and unable to load." Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but remind them.

It would be such a shame if a soldier lost his life because of such a small mistake, so he would rather say a few more words than see this happen.

"Don't worry, they all remember it, and no one dares to be careless." Liu Changshun said. He had told the soldiers a long time ago that on the battlefield, the gun is their second life. They must not let any problems occur with the guns in their hands, otherwise they would lose their own lives.

"Then remind them again. They must remember it." Xu Qingfeng said seriously.

"Yes!" Liu Changshun heard this and then gave the order.

If someone still doesn't care about these things after being reminded, then they deserve to die. It is impossible for him to check whether there are any problems with everyone's gun.

Just then, something happened on the intercom.

"Hello, hello, Lao Xu, can you hear me? I'm Li Jin." Li Jin's voice came from the intercom!
"I can hear you. We have arrived at the destination. How far are you?!" Xu Qingfeng responded quickly.

"I'm estimated to be about twenty miles away from you now. Please wait for an hour." Li Jin said.

"Okay, no problem." Xu Qingfeng responded.

There was no sound on the walkie-talkie, and Xu Qingfeng went to check on the soldiers' situation.

Fortunately, the warm clothes they prepared for the soldiers were quite good, otherwise, in such horrible weather, without cotton coats and pants, I don’t know how many soldiers would have gotten frostbite.

An hour passed quickly, and Li Jin and his team finally arrived to meet Xu Qingfeng and his team.
