Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Then it's settled, 150 veterans and 150 new recruits, you guys, listen to me. If they suffer heavy casualties, I will kill you!" the brigade commander threatened.

"If there are heavy casualties and you kill me, I won't say anything!" Li Jin assured.

"When you go to Quyang County, in addition to being careful of Japanese devils, you must also be careful of bandits! There are many bandits in the mountains over there in Quyang County.

These bandits kill without batting an eye! "The political commissar reminded.

The bandits over there are not good people, and they commit all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, and looting.

"Huh? Bandits? Are there any bandits over there?" Li Jin became interested.

"Well, there are more than a dozen groups of bandits, nearly 2000 people!" The political commissar nodded.

"In this case, it seems that my plan may have to change." Li Jin showed a smile.

"What do you want to do?" said the political commissar, "Wait a minute, don't you want to recruit those bandits?"

"Absorb them? They think beautifully!" Li Jin sneered.

Those bandits were stained with the blood of ordinary people, how could Li Jin recruit them.

"If you don't recruit them, you still want to destroy them directly?" The political commissar said, "There are also a lot of bandits. If you destroy them directly, there will be some losses."

Since Li Jin didn't plan to recruit, he must have planned to destroy the bandits, but there were a lot of bandits. If there was a real fight, he was worried whether Li Jin's plan would be affected.

"Why kill them? There are so many cannon fodders that are not wasted. These garbage can also play some role." Li Jin said.

The political commissar was speechless and said: "You still said it was not recruitment. How could those bandits be used as cannon fodder for you if they were not recruited?"

"If they are incorporated, they are no longer cannon fodder. I will deal with these bandits in another capacity." Li Jin explained.

"Another identity?" The political commissar looked at him in confusion. When did Li Jin have another identity?

"Don't forget, I was a bandit before. Even though I was pretending, I naturally have to go as a bandit. I want to beat them into submission! Now let them be cannon fodder!" Li Jin said, "Those bandits, don't kill them. To despair, how could it be possible to fight devils,
As for using the identity of the Eighth Route Army to collect these pests stained with the blood of the people, that is an embarrassment to the Eighth Route Army! "

He would not do such a thing, unless those bandits had not killed ordinary people, otherwise, there was only one word of death for the fate of those bandits!
"Will something go wrong?" the political commissar was worried.

"Political Commissar, don't worry, I know what's going on and I will handle it well," Li Jin said.

"As long as you have an idea, when do you plan to set off?" the brigade commander asked.

"The sooner the better."

"Then let's do it tomorrow. Just go to the new regiment and lead the people. I will say hello to him in advance. You can have a good rest tonight." The brigade commander said.

After driving for so long, Li Jin went to attack and kill devils on the way, so he was probably exhausted.

"Okay," Li Jin nodded, and then said: "I estimate that it will take nearly a month to deal with the actions against the bandits. When the time comes, I will send you a message when we take action against Quyang County.
I hope you can discuss it with the Jinsui Army at that time. "

"This is natural." The brigade commander nodded.

"By the way, I have something else to tell you." Li Jin said and took out a map.

"This is the map from Taiyuan? Huh? The place marked on it is the strength of the Japanese branch?" The political commissar recognized the map at a glance as being from Taiyuan.

He even saw the red dot marked on the map, which was obviously the place where the devil's troops were divided.

"Yes, in the past few months, in addition to recruiting soldiers for training, my people have also found out all the intelligence there." Li Jin said.

He wants to do big things in Taiyuan, so how can he do it if he doesn't find out the situation of the Japanese there.

"Actually, even if you don't ask me to come back this time, I will still come back because I have something to report to you." Li Jin continued.

"What's going on?" the political commissar asked, feeling vaguely that Li Jin might be making another big move.

"Look, this is the Jiaoling Mountains. In the mountains, there is a Hengshi Mine where nearly 500 Japanese soldiers are stationed." Li Jin pointed to the location of the Jiaoling Mountains on the map and said.

"There are more than 2000 Japanese soldiers stationed in a mine? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" The brigade commander was surprised, and even the political commissar was suspicious.

"That's right, there are indeed more than 2000 Japanese." Li Jin nodded and said with certainty that the information collected by Lu Changgong was correct.

"Hiss~" The brigade commander and the political commissar couldn't help but gasped. It was not easy for there to be so many Japanese in a mine.

"Could this mine be a gold mine? Otherwise, how could the little devil send so many people to guard it?" said the brigade commander.

Apart from gold mines, he really couldn't think of any other mine that the Japanese would value so much that they would need to send more than 2000 people to guard it.

"It shouldn't be a gold mine. According to the information I found, there were not so many Japs in that mine originally. They only increased in the past month.

And not long ago, a group of devils escorted a carload of people into the Hengshi mine. Not surprisingly, the reason why the mine increased its troops was that
It's probably because of the driver of this car.
I suspect that there may be a big shot of the Japanese in this car!Otherwise, the Japanese would not have sent so many people to protect him! "Li Jin told the information he knew.

"Big shot? Could it be that he is a member of the Japanese royal family?" the brigade commander said. The clan status of the Japanese emperor is still very high.

"I think it's very possible." Li Jin nodded.

"You're not just talking about this, are you?!" the brigade commander said. Li Jin probably wanted to attack this mine.

"Of course it doesn't stop. The head of the [-]th Regiment came to me before and said that they want to join forces to attack the Beishan Mine and rescue the people in the Hengshi Mine." Li Jin said.

The leader of the [-]th Regiment was looking for him just for this reason.

"It's our duty to rescue the people." The brigade commander nodded. There are so many people, it's still time to rescue them.

"Of course, besides attacking the Beishan Mine, I have another plan." Li Jin pointed to another place on the map and said, "There is an arsenal here.

The number of people is around [-]. Once something happens at Beishan Mine, the devils from this arsenal will immediately reinforce them.
Therefore, in addition to attacking the Beishan Mine, I also want to capture this arsenal!
Once we succeed, the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army will definitely rise sharply. Even if we fail, as long as we rescue the people in the Hengshi Mine, we will not be at a loss. "

After thinking about it carefully, the brigade commander and political commissar thought it was feasible.

"Now we have to attack Quyang County. By then, I'm worried that we won't have as many manpower to go there," the brigade commander said.

Once Quyang County takes action, he cannot guarantee how many people will be left in the [-]th Brigade.

"At that time, the brigade commander can just send the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment. I have trained a thousand soldiers there, plus more than 1000 people from the [-]th Regiment. I am confident that I can capture the Hengshi Mine." Li Jin said.

The New 6000st Regiment and the Independent Regiment combined have more than 8000 people, and the [-]th Regiment and the special operations battalion are added, that is more than [-] people. It is easy to capture the Hengshi Mine.

"You kid, you're really restless." After finalizing the matter, the brigade commander couldn't help but say, Li Jin really can make things right there.

"I can't help it. I will always be willing to do anything that makes the Japanese unhappy." Li Jin said with a smile.

"Then let's wait for the matter here in Quyang County, and then deal with the matter of Hengshi Mine. It's best to take down the arsenal as well!" said the brigade commander.

What the Eighth Route Army lacks most now is good weapons to equip its troops. It is indeed a good thing to capture the Japanese arsenal.

"I'll try my best to capture the arsenal as well," Li Jin said.

"It seems that the time for you to officially join the party will have to be delayed." The political commissar said.Originally, the purpose of letting Li Jin come back this time was to let Li Jin join the party early. However, so many things happened that they really did not expect.

"It's okay. Actually, I'm not in a hurry." Li Jin said. In fact, for him, it would be best to join the party as early as possible.

But when he thought of the villagers who were massacred by the Japanese, he couldn't think about it so much. He wanted to avenge those villagers as soon as possible!
"It seems that we can only wait until the matter in Quyang County is settled." The political commissar sighed.

In fact, joining the party early has the advantage of joining the party early. Li Jin is from their brigade, so the political commissar naturally hopes that Li Jin can join the party early.

"Now that the plan has been decided, I'm going to rest first." Li Jin said and left the headquarters.

As soon as he went out, a young soldier came up to him, it was Qin Yuanxin.

"Commander, you're back."

"Well, how about it? Nothing happened during this time, right?" Li Jin nodded and said.

"Nothing's wrong, everything is quite peaceful." Qin Yuanxin said.

"Then protect the brigade commander and the others well, and don't let them get hurt." Li Jin urged.

"By the way, battalion commander, are you still leaving when you come back this time?" Qin Yuanxin asked. The battalion commander went to Taiyuan, which made him a little worried. It would be good if the battalion commander stayed at the base of the New Regiment. .

"Of course, when I come back this time, I have something to deal with. After that, I will go to Taiyuan." Li Jin said.

"That's it." Qin Yuanxin nodded helplessly after hearing this.

"Okay, you go to the realm first." Li Jin said and left. He did not go to rest but went to find the children immediately.

In the yard, a dozen or so children were happily playing the game of eagle catching chickens.

Brother Zhu and Xiao Wu were watching, and an eight-year-old boy was sitting on the threshold in a daze.

"Captain Li, you're here." Seeing Li Jin come in, Brother Zhu and Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward.

"Well, is everything settled?" Li Jin nodded and said.

"The soldiers have arranged a place for us. Well, will we live here in the future?" Brother Zhu asked.

He is very concerned about where he will live in the future. He can say that it is okay, after all, he can live, but these children are still young, and he really doesn't know how to deal with them.

"Don't worry, the children should live here in the future. Are you sure you want to join the Eighth Route?" Li Jin asked.

"Well, I want to join the Eighth Route Army." Brother Zhu nodded.

"I want to participate too." Xiao Wu also shouted.

Li Jin looked at him and said, "You can't do it, you're not old enough."

"I'm fifteen, why isn't it enough?" Xiao Wu said unconvinced.

"Only when you are 16 years old." Li Jin said.

"Can't you be accommodating? Let me join the army too, and I'll fight the Japanese too." Xiao Wu said.

"No." Li Jin shook his head and firmly disagreed.

Xiao Wu was very disappointed when he saw this. He also wanted to join the army.

"I'm telling you, if you want to join the army, just wait until next year. Besides, if Zhuzi joins the army, someone should take care of these children.

If you also join the army, who will watch them, in case something happens to them. "Li Jin said.

"Yes, Xiaowu, you should keep an eye on the children. These are the only ones left in the village now." Brother Zhu also persuaded.

"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded helplessly.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was no longer thinking about joining the army, Li Jin also shifted his gaze and looked at the children playing in the yard with a smile.

It's good for them to be carefree and don't need so many worries. As for the worries, let them, adults, bear them.

Looking away, he saw the little boy sitting on the threshold. Li Jin walked over and sat with the little boy.

"Why don't you go play with them?"

"Not in the mood," the little boy replied.

Li Jin patted the little boy on the shoulder and said, "You didn't tell them about it."

"No, I'm not a three-year-old child. If I told him, wouldn't it make them unhappy too?" the little boy said.

Looking at this sensible child, Li Jin was very worried. This child was so sensible, so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

"Since you don't want to make them sad, then you should play with them. Aren't you derailed by them now?
What if they get suspicious?Moreover, your parents wouldn't be happy if they knew you were like this.

They have all passed away, do you still want to worry about your dead parents?This is not what a sensible child should do.
Listen to me and go play with them. "Li Jin patted the little boy on the shoulder.

"Will my parents feel relieved if I play with them?" The little boy looked at Li Jin, his eyes full of expectation.

"Well, that's natural." Li Jin nodded and lied.

"Okay, I'll play with them." The little boy got up and walked towards the children.

"I'm coming to play too."

"Then you become an eagle."

"it is good."

In the evening, after eating with the children, Li Jin ran to a hilltop outside the village and sat down.

In the village, smoke was emitted from every household, and streams of white smoke rose into the air. From time to time, the sounds of birds could be heard in the ears.

In an open space not far away, a group of young soldiers were practicing bayonet fighting. They were wearing old military uniforms, their faces were covered with sweat, their eyes were full of perseverance, and they were shouting, "Kill, kill,"

These soldiers are all new recruits, many of them are about sixteen or seventeen years old, very young, and the fluff on the corners of their mouths has not yet receded.

"The postures must be standard, the movements must be uniform, and you must endure hardship and loneliness. Only in this way can you become a real soldier!" In front of the new recruits, a veteran was scolding these soldiers.

When he was about to say more, veteran Wu Maosheng suddenly saw Li Jin sitting on the top of a hill.

"Okay, I'll practice here today, let's go back to eat." Wu Maosheng dismissed the team, and then trotted to Li Jin.
