Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Old Kong, this is just the command sword of the Japanese regiment commander. You haven't seen the command sword of the Japanese general yet.
The handles are all made of ivory. I have one. If you want one, I'll give it to you next time we meet." Li Yunlong was very generous and offered to give a Japanese general's command knife.

In fact, he had two command swords like the Japanese brigade commander's, in addition to the one he surrendered. In his opinion, only swords of this level were worthy of his collection. As for the ones at the regiment commander level, they were really not worthy of his collection.

"You said it, give it to me next time we meet." Kong Jie said directly without any pretense.

"You kid, you are being rude now!" Li Yunlong said with a smile after hearing this.

"We are old comrades-in-arms, so why should I be polite to you?" Kong Jie replied.

"That's true." Li Yunlong nodded. He and Kong Jie have been good friends for many years. He joined the army one day earlier than Kong Jie. Later, when he became the squad leader, Kong Jie became the deputy squad leader.

Several people quickly came to the logistics department, and after having their credentials checked by the soldiers on guard, they successfully entered the logistics department.

The three of them arrived at Minister Zhang's office with ease. The two guards at the door let them in directly because they recognized who they were.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang! Lao Kong and I are here to see you." As soon as he entered the yard, Li Yunlong shouted at the top of his voice.

"Damn it, why are you shouting in the office? Don't shout at other people!" Minister Zhang's cursing voice came from the room, and then he walked out.

"Haha, Lao Zhang, long time no see." Li Yunlong burst into laughter when he saw the person coming.

"It's strange that you two came here at the same time." Minister Zhang did not respond but looked at them and said.

"Old Zhang, I'll give you a command knife used by the Japanese regiment commander." Kong Jie stepped forward and handed the command knife to Minister Zhang.

"Damn it, when did it become a gift from you? This was captured by me!" Li Yunlong said quickly before Minister Zhang could speak.

"Haha, there's no difference between you and me between us." Kong Jie said happily.

"Old Zhang, I promised to get you a command knife for the Japanese regiment commander, but I never fulfilled my promise. Now I am delivering it to you. Don't say that I, Old Li, am not kind enough." Li Yunlong looked at Minister Zhang and said seriously!

At the beginning, he got a lot of ammunition from Minister Zhang. Although that amount of ammunition is just a drop in the bucket for the current New 1st Regiment, it was a lot for the New 1st Regiment at that time, and it was considered as the start-up capital for all of them.

"Okay, okay, I knew you wouldn't forget me." Minister Zhang also laughed. Looking at the command knife in his hand, he couldn't let it go.

"Old Li, is this knife really the command knife of the Japanese regiment commander?!" Minister Zhang was a little skeptical. He felt that Li Yunlong would not just pick up a knife and say it belonged to the Japanese regiment commander.

"Damn it, is Old Li that kind of person? This time I blew up the Japanese airport, killed the Japanese inside, and killed the Japanese regiment commander. This knife was seized from the airport." Li Yunlong said hurriedly.

As for the other command knife of the Japanese regiment commander, it was also in the hands of a special operations soldier and was a trophy of the new recruit.

"Blow up the Japanese airport?! You're such a boaster." Minister Zhang didn't believe it at all. The Japanese airport was in Taiyuan. No matter how powerful Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment was, it was impossible for them to blow up the airport under the Japanese's noses.

"Why would I lie to you? It's not just the New 1st Regiment, there's also that kid Li Jin." Li Yunlong explained. He admitted that if it were just the New 1st Regiment, they would not be able to take down the airport.

Not to mention taking down the airport, he might even be beaten and run around by the Japanese reinforcements. But since he is working with Li Jin and has the help of the special operations regiment, taking down the airport is a piece of cake.

"If Li Jin is involved, then it's not surprising." When Minister Zhang heard Li Jin's name, he no longer had any doubts. After all, he had also learned a lot of news about Li Jin from the leader, and most of them were shocking.

"So, this is the command knife of the Japanese regiment commander. If you don't believe it, give it back to me." Li Yunlong said, pretending to snatch the command knife.

"There's no reason to ask for back something that's been given away." Minister Zhang quickly stepped back and hid his command knife aside.

"That's fine. By the way, I bought these two bottles of Fenjiu specially with my own allowance. Don't be tactless, kid." Li Yunlong took the Fenjiu from Monk Wei and handed it to Minister Zhang.

"You are such a nice guy." Minister Zhang took the wine happily.

"Okay, I'm here to deliver something. I'll leave first." Li Yunlong said and turned to leave. Anyway, the things had been delivered, so he wouldn't waste time here.

"You're just leaving like that? Don't you have any supplies you want?!" Minister Zhang said when he saw this.

"No need. The New 1st Regiment has no shortage of supplies now." Li Yunlongtou waved his hand without saying anything and left with Monk Wei.

"How come this kid still has some of the air of a wealthy landlord? He used all means to bargain for dozens of boxes of grenades." Minister Zhang couldn't help but think of the time when Li Yunlong came to him to ask for supplies.

"There's nothing we can do. There's a powerful Li Jin in their regiment. They've seized countless supplies and are now extremely rich. Many of the troops' weapons were seized by that kid Li Jin." As Kong Jie spoke, he became more and more envious.

"Well, yes, Li Jin is really good. In the past two years, the logistics department has had more and more supplies, which can support many soldiers." Upon hearing this, Minister Zhang couldn't help but praise him.

At the beginning, the supplies of the Logistics Department were extremely scarce. No matter what kind of supplies they were, they had to be carefully calculated. The supplies distributed to each regiment were limited in quantity and were quite small.

It’s different now. The logistics department has sufficient supplies and there is no longer the same urgency as before!

"I have to admit that Lao Li is really lucky. Such a talent has emerged in the regiment, and he has become the regiment leader in just over two years." Kong Jie also sighed!
"Li Jin is the regiment commander?!" Minister Zhang was a little surprised when he heard this. He remembered that Li Jin had just been the battalion commander for a short time. In such a short time, he had jumped to the level of regiment commander.

"Don't you know yet?! During the Chinese New Year, the political commissar personally went to Li Jin's base and issued the appointment letter of the regiment commander." Kong Jie said. He thought Minister Zhang knew about this.

"I'm not really sure about this, but it's not surprising that he was promoted to regiment leader. After all, he has made so many contributions. I estimate that it won't be long before his rank is higher than yours. Do you feel any pressure?" Minister Zhang laughed when he said this.

"Why would there be any pressure? We've already been prepared. By then, Lao Li and I will probably be commanded by Li Jin." Kong Jie was mentally prepared for this.

Li Jin is so capable, it is expected that he will grow faster than them.

"You are quite open-minded. Some people would probably be jealous of Li's rapid promotion. After all, he joined the army only for a short time, but was promoted so quickly." Minister Zhang smiled.

"It's true that he joined the army for a short time, but the achievements he made are beyond the reach of others even after more than ten years. It's unreasonable that he didn't get promoted quickly." Kong Jie responded. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died because of Li Jin alone, and he killed more Japanese soldiers than many troops combined.

"That's true." Minister Zhang nodded. "By the way, do you have any tips?" Minister Zhang changed the subject. The two came together. Li Yunlong left, but Kong Jie stayed. There must be something wrong.

"I'm here to get my military uniform. This is the chief's approval note." Kong Jie took out the approval note from the chief and handed it to Minister Zhang.

"Finally, there is something to be sent out. Five hundred sets of military uniforms, right? I'll have someone pack them for you right away." Minister Zhang was very happy when he saw it. He quickly called two soldiers and asked them to take the approval slip to the clothing factory to get the military uniforms.

"Lao Zhang, the logistics department is getting better now. Five hundred sets of military uniforms can be sent out without blinking an eye." Kong Jie also joked!

"We can't do that. The Logistics Department does have a lot of supplies now, including guns, ammunition, and money. Basically, there is nothing missing." Minister Zhang also answered happily.

Especially after the arsenal was equipped with machine tools, productivity was greatly improved and ammunition increased, which solved the problem of ammunition shortage.

Although some troops are still short of ammunition, this shortage is only in the literal sense.

To be honest, the ammunition of many regiments now is enough to provide soldiers with more than ten rounds of bullets every month for live-fire training, which is already beyond many units of the National Army.

"The current development trend of our troops is getting better and better. Not only has the problem of food and clothing been solved, but also the problem of lack of ammunition has been solved." Kong Jie sighed again.

"This has a lot to do with Li Jin." Minister Zhang responded. If Li Jin had not rescued Lafki from Germany, Lafki would not have sent the machine tool over later. This is also a cause and effect.

.........

At this time, Li Jin also came to the brigade hospital. He walked back and forth outside several times, and after hesitating for a while, he finally walked into the hospital.

To be honest, although he had been to the brigade headquarters many times, he had never been to the hospital to see those female soldiers.

When Li Jin walked through the hospital gate, he happened to see several nurses drying bed sheets.

"Song Qiqi, long time no see." Li Jin recognized one of the nurses and called out her name.

"Who is it?!" The nurse who was drying the bed sheets heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw Li Jin.

"Company Commander! Why did you come to see us!" Song Qiqi was very happy when she saw Li Jin. She shook off the water stains on her hands and walked towards Li Jin.

However, after taking two steps, he stopped again.

"Hmph! You heartless thing!" Song Qiqi cursed as soon as she opened her mouth, then turned around and ran towards the yard not far away.

"Ah?!" Li Jin was confused. How could he be considered a heartless person? !
Several nurses looked at Li Jin and talked in a low voice. They did not know Li Jin because he was not from the female soldiers platoon, but a former nurse of the hospital!
"Hey, Song Qiqi, don't go. Let's make things clear first. Who is heartless?" Li Jin hurriedly chased after him. It's just that he hasn't come to see them for two years. How could he be heartless? Well, it seems that he is a little heartless.

When Li Jin chased into another yard, more than a dozen nurses were already waiting there.

"Company Commander!" The leading nurse saluted Li Jin first, and the other nurses also saluted.

"You are all here." Li Jin saluted in return.

"Company commander, it's been almost two years. You've come to the brigade headquarters many times, but you've never thought of coming to see us?!" The former female platoon leader came up and started to blame.

"Ahem, I have a lot of things to do, so I don't have time." Li Jin coughed twice and looked away guiltily.

"Then how come you have time to come here this time? You have nothing to do, right?!" a nurse asked.

After all, they have been training under Li Jin for such a long time. Li Jin has come to the brigade headquarters so many times and has never thought of visiting them. He is really heartless.

"Yeah, how come you have time to come over this time?!"

"I thought the company commander had forgotten about us soldiers."

"Alas, he is a man after all, he has no conscience."

Other nurses also said this, almost calling Li Jin a heartless man.

"Stop talking, stop talking. It's my fault, my fault!" Li Jin panicked and quickly admitted his mistake to prevent them from saying anything shocking.

"Hmph, is admitting your mistake enough?!" Song Qiqi snorted coldly. After not seeing her for two years, she had grown into a beautiful young lady, now graceful and elegant.

"Okay Qiqi, stop teasing the company commander. He has a lot of tasks to do and really doesn't have much time to come and see us." Female soldier platoon leader Liu Yanping said. She knew that Li Jin really had a lot of things to do.

"Okay." Song Qiqi shrugged and didn't pursue the matter further, which made Li Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you guys doing okay?! Where are the others?!" Li Jin decisively changed the subject. He remembered that there should be twenty or thirty female soldiers left in the hospital, but now there are only a dozen. In addition, the remaining twenty or thirty people are responsible for protecting the safety of the hospital, and it seems that not many of them have been seen.

"She was transferred to the headquarters hospital. There was a foreign doctor there. While treating the wounded, he was accidentally cut by a scalpel and the wound became infected. Fortunately, there was penicillin, otherwise the doctor would probably have died." Liu Yanping told the whereabouts of the remaining female soldiers and also talked about a foreign doctor.

Upon hearing the news, Li Jin was stunned. He roughly knew who the doctor was. He did not expect that the other party actually survived because of the penicillin he developed. It was still a cause for celebration.

"That doctor's medical skills are very good." Li Jin said with a smile.

"How do you know?! I heard that he is a thoracic surgeon with excellent medical skills. He has treated many wounded soldiers and helped many of them survive." Liu Yanping was a little surprised when she heard this.

"There's nothing strange about it. I've been to the headquarters and I know some things." Li Jin replied with a smile. In fact, when he went there, he was busy chatting with the general manager and several old leaders. He didn't even think about going to the headquarters hospital. After all, he didn't have any acquaintances who were hospitalized in the headquarters hospital.
