Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Yawning all the way, Li Jin returned to the temporary residence of the brigade headquarters.

Li Yunlong was waiting for him in the yard.

"You have made a great contribution this time." After seeing this, Li Yunlong stepped forward and said with a smile on his face.

"No matter whether it is a great achievement or not, it is all the result of everyone's concerted efforts." Li Jin said helplessly.

"Damn it, why are you always so humble? Be more arrogant." Li Yunlong patted Li Jin on the shoulder.

Hearing this, Li Jin was helpless. He could be arrogant towards the Japanese, but he could not be arrogant towards his own people.

"Captain, the casualties of the new regiment this time are not big, right?!" Li Jin asked.

"There are not many casualties on my side, but the other two regiments suffered more casualties." Li Yunlong said.

The casualties of the [-]st and [-]nd Regiments were not small.

"In the final analysis, the combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army is too poor, otherwise the fight would not have been like this." Li Yunlong couldn't help but said that the combat effectiveness of the [-]th Brigade was worse than other Jinsui Army encountered before.

If this was the Shanxi-Sui Army that had cooperated with the [-]nd Regiment before, it would not be so difficult to fight. It is no wonder that the [-]th Brigade ran away without defending the city.

Li Jin nodded and said nothing more.

"By the way, how is the establishment of your base area in Taiyuan going?" Li Yunlong asked.

"It's not bad. The base areas of several companies have been opened up, and some more base areas have been added." Li Jin replied. His mission there was to open up base areas, so he was naturally very concerned about it.

"Well, I knew you were a kid." Li Yunlong nodded.

"Taiyuan is far away from us. You guys should be careful. If something big happens, we won't be able to provide immediate support." Li Yunlong warned.

He was worried that if Li Jin caused another big incident, he wouldn't be able to get there immediately. Of course, they could still go there to support him, but it would just take a little more time.

Unlike Li Jin in Wuhan, he was isolated and helpless. If he was surrounded by Japanese soldiers, he could only rely on himself. If he was not careful, his whole army would be annihilated.

"I'll try my best." Li Jin said. Before the soldiers were well trained, he didn't plan to provoke the Japanese. After all, it was the Japanese's lair here. It really pissed him off. Taiyuan sent tens of thousands of Japanese to surround and suppress him. That would be terrible. It’s really hard to fly even with wings.

"You're trying your best, but you're saying it very reluctantly." Li Yunlong was speechless. This kid Li Jin caused more trouble than him.

"Don't worry about these details." Li Jin smiled.

"Okay, you kid, go and rest first." Li Yunlong could tell that Li Jin was very tired, so he didn't say anything more.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded, entered the room and started to sleep.

the next day.

six in the morning.

Li Jin just woke up. From the time he went to do the task to the time he finished it a few days ago, he barely had a good night's sleep. He made up for it last night.

After simply eating the breakfast sent by the soldiers, Li Jin received the news that the brigade had sent pensions and death notices to the fallen soldiers.

After receiving this news, Li Jin became a little depressed. To fight the Japanese, most people really needed to be sacrificed.

Although he felt heartbroken for the sacrificed soldiers, Li Jin quickly adjusted his mood and planned to go to the hospital to see the wounded.
There were many wounded this time, and he was worried that something might happen to the wounded.

Just as he was about to go out, a soldier found Li Jin.

"Battle Commander Li, the brigade commander asked you to go to the conference room to discuss something. By the way, he also asked Battalion Commander Li to call soldiers from other special operations battalions," the soldier said.

Li Jin was stunned when he heard this, but quickly nodded and said: "No problem, I'll call them right away."

"Okay, I'll leave first," the soldier left.

Li Jin smiled and said, "Join the party. Although there were many twists and turns, I still joined the party."

For him, only by joining the party could he truly belong.

Li Jin went directly to notify the brothers who were coming back this time, and soon they went to the command room.

"We are all here, the war has been decided, and it is time for you to join the party. We have been waiting for this day for a long time." The brigade commander said with a smile when he saw Li Jin and the others.

The political commissar also had a smile on his face, and there were several familiar party members, Li Yunlong, Staff Officer Zhong, Deputy Commander Qian, Cheng Xiazi...

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Li Jin said with a little excitement, finally being able to join the party.

"There is no need for so many mundane rituals now. Just swear to me directly." The brigade commander said.

The political commissar took out the party flag and hung it on the wall above the main seat.

Li Jin looked at the military flag with respect in his eyes. It was an old military flag from the Anti-Japanese War. It was not as bright and beautiful as the modern one, but it had a touch of killing more than the modern five-star red flag.

The military flag is somewhat tattered, and there are still many dried and blackened stains on it, which are left by the blood of the flag bearers who held the military flag.

They sacrificed their precious lives to protect the military flag. They risked their lives to protect the military flag.

This military flag is the most precious item at this time. Even though it looks tattered, it is still daunting!
No one thinks that this military flag is worse than the national army, the Japanese, or other countries in the world. On the contrary, this military flag is more precious than all of them!
The solemn oath was sung hoarsely, and everyone was taking the oath with all their heart.

Li Jin began to swear in the declaration of joining the party, but by the end, his eyes were already red.

Finally joined the party!

Witnessed by the brigade commander and other party members, Li Jin and the soldiers now became real party members.

"Comrade Li Jin, welcome to join us." The brigade commander stepped forward and shook hands with Li Jin respectfully.

When you become a formal party member, you are truly one of your own.

"Comrade Li Jin, congratulations." Li Yunlong also stepped forward to shake hands with Li Jin with a smile.

Li Jin also extended his hand to shake Li Yunlong's hand.

Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian also stepped forward to shake hands with Li Jin.

"Comrade Li Jin, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Staff Officer Zhong said with a smile.

He was happy to see Li Jin become an official party member. After all, Li Jin came from the New Youth League.

"Other soldiers go out first and have a meeting," the brigade commander said.

Asking Li Jin to come over and join the party is just one of them, there are still meetings to be held.

After several soldiers from the special operations battalion went out, the brigade commander and the others came to the long table.

"Li Jin, please tell us in detail about the situation at Hengshi Mine." said the brigade commander. He had not forgotten what Li Jin had said before.

Tens of thousands of Chinese people were arrested in the Hengshi Mine. Now that they know it, they still have to be rescued.

If it were before, the brigade commander would still hesitate, but now, the strength of the [-]th Brigade is already very strong.Especially the combat effectiveness of the New Regiment, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"Yes!" Li Jin nodded, then took out a map and began to talk about the Japs branch in the Hengshi Mine, as well as the Japs from various places who could support him.

"You just mentioned the Japs, don't tell me there aren't even any puppet soldiers in there?!" Li Yunlong asked.

The distribution of troops mentioned by Li Jin only included the Japs, but there were no puppet troops. Although the puppet troops were very weak in combat effectiveness, Li Jin would not ignore these.

"Well, that's probably not the case. There's no trace of the puppet army over there. The people in charge are all Japs." Li Jin nodded.

"Damn it, it's a mine. Why would the Japanese spend so much time guarding it? There's not even a puppet army. There's something going on here." Li Yunlong said. He was not a fool. He could naturally tell that this mine was has a problem.

Generally speaking, a mine guarded by the Japs will definitely arrange a lot of puppet troops to manage the people in the mine. But now the Japs have no arrangements at all. This shows that the Japs want to do something ulterior.

"I think so too, so while rescuing the people, let's try to find out the purpose of the Japanese." Li Jin said.

He always felt something was wrong there.

"I'm afraid this little devil is using the people in the mine to conduct bacterial experiments." The brigade commander suddenly said at this time.

"It's unlikely. The Japanese want to conduct bacterial experiments. Why would they go to such a remote place to do it?" Li Yunlong said.

"Before, the Japanese even wanted to conduct bacterial experiments in the county town of the Independent Regiment. How could they now go to the barren mountains and wild mountains?" Deputy Commander Qian also thought it was impossible.

"No, it's very possible. If I'm not wrong, the Chinese military has already spread the bacterial experiments I translated to the international community," Li Jin said.

The bacterial experiment data he had captured before had been translated, and the brigade commander should have handed it over to the national army.

"The Japs must refuse to admit that some international reporters may have entered China. Therefore, the Japs will come here to be safe!" Li Jin continued.

No wonder he always felt something was wrong there, it turned out to be the case.

There are a lot of Chinese people in the mine, so it wouldn't be surprising if they died in an accident. They are still relatively good experimental materials.

Picking it in a mine is indeed a good place for the devils to experiment.

"Li Jin is right. I also thought of this, so I thought that the mine was most likely a place used by the Japanese for bacterial experiments!" The brigade commander also agreed with Li Jin's statement.

Otherwise, there is no need for the Japs to send so many people to guard a mine. They are entirely used to protect the Japs doctors in bacterial experiments.

"Damn it, these beasts are so evil!! They always want to experiment on our people!!" Li Yunlong cursed.

To conduct experiments on the common people means to torture them to death.

"So we must save the people in the mine!" Li Jin said.

"Li Jin, how are your soldiers training? Are they ready to go to the battlefield?!" the brigade commander looked at Li Jin and asked.

If Li Jin's soldiers are well trained, they can take action.

"It's not possible now. At the very least, it will take another month. If we let them go to the battlefield rashly, not only will the people not be able to be saved, but it will put us in danger." Li Jin said.

The soldiers he recruited have not been trained well, and their coordination is far from perfect. This will affect the overall combat effectiveness. Once they take action, the people will not be able to save them, and they may also be bitten by the Japanese and unable to escape.

Therefore, the soldiers must be trained well in action. Li Jin not only wanted to rescue the people, but also wanted to rob the Japanese arsenal.

"Then just wait for a month and take action after one month. You can't delay for too long, otherwise more people will die," the brigade commander said.

Although rescuing people is important, it must be planned well.

"Understood!" Li Jin nodded.

"Li Yunlong, when the time comes, you will bring a new group over to act with Li Jin." The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said.

Although the combat effectiveness of the new regiment is worse than that of the Japanese, there are still Li Jin and the troops there, so it is not a problem to unite to conquer a mine.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded.

"Brigadier, why don't I go with you?" Cheng Xiazi also said when he saw this, he also wanted to participate in this operation.

"Forget about the [-]nd Regiment. In this battle, your regiment suffered a lot of casualties. If we fight again, we will probably have to regroup." The brigade commander shook his head.

The [-]nd Regiment and the [-]st Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the ambush battle due to the lack of support from the Jinsui Army. If they were sent to carry out the rescue mission, the [-]nd Regiment would probably have to be rebuilt.

"Furthermore, given the situation of your regiment, it has just experienced a major battle. It is better to let the soldiers recover and at the same time recruit more people to restore their combat effectiveness." The brigade commander continued.

Although the [-]nd Regiment suffered a lot of casualties, it also allowed many new recruits to grow up. It is also beneficial to have stronger combat effectiveness. Later, as more veterans are recruited to teach the new recruits, the combat effectiveness will increase quickly!

Blind Cheng opened his mouth, but then shut up, just as the brigade commander said.

He is still continuing to recruit troops to increase the combat effectiveness of the [-]nd Regiment and restore its combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

"Cheng Xiazi, you should listen to the brigade commander. After all, it is an organized regiment, and its combat effectiveness cannot be much worse than mine, which is not organized." Li Yunlong said.

"Fuck you." Blind Cheng rolled his eyes. If Li Jin hadn't helped the Xinyi Regiment prepare this weapon in the Xinyi Regiment, how could the New Regiment have developed so fast.

"Ah ha, you are still dissatisfied, right? Don't forget, I was the one who taught you how to shoot." Li Yunlong said.

"Okay, stop saying a few words." The brigade commander scolded Li Yunlong.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately shut up, saying that he would be easily beaten.

"Li Jin, please go back to Taiyuan today and train the soldiers as soon as possible. After training, you can send me a telegram," the brigade commander said.

"Yes!" Li Jin nodded.

"Brigadier, when the time comes to go to Taiyuan, the whole new regiment should be dispatched, right?!" Li Yunlong asked. He felt that it would be safer to send more people.

"Of course, otherwise you still want to keep some people in the base area." The brigade commander said angrily.

Attacking the Hengshi Mine is still very important. Only the new regiment still has combat effectiveness. Without all troops dispatched, it will still be very difficult to defeat the Hengshi Mine.

"Brigadier, when the time comes, you have to send someone over to help me guard the base. I don't want to go out and lose the base." Li Yunlong said.

The base area is his second home. What if he loses his home in a war?

"Okay, okay, I have already thought about this. When the time comes, I will ask the independent regiment to send some people to help you guard the base." The brigade commander said.

"Hehe, that's fine, thank you, brigade commander." Li Yunlong said with a grin.

But Li Jin was thinking that the brigade commander had asked the independent regiment to help guard the base of the new regiment. It seemed that it was not long before the two regiments changed their defenses.

The brigade commander is asking the independent regiment to come over first to see the location of the base area so that they can carry out defense changes at that time.
