Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Although Li Yunlong looked down on the puppet troops who were recruited on the spot, those puppet troops were not strong in combat effectiveness because they had not been trained, and they were more afraid of death.

In contrast, the puppet troops sent by the Japanese from the Northeast were more or less capable, because many of them were once soldiers.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of those puppet troops is stronger than that of untrained puppet troops.

"I see. It seems like I still have a lot to learn." Zhao Gang nodded. He didn't think so much. It was also because he lacked experience.

I didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns even for the captives.

"It doesn't matter, you will understand naturally after you stay for a long time." Li Yunlong smiled.

Hearing this, Zhao Gang also knew that Li Yunlong recognized him.

"Old Zhao, I said you were a white-faced scholar before. I was wrong. You have opened my eyes today. I take back what I said before." Li Yunlong said seriously.

I thought Zhao Gang was an embroidered pillow, but I didn't expect that the opponent was Confucius with a sword on his waist. He was both civil and military. He was more than 300 meters away and at night. He could kill the Japanese machine gunner with one shot. Except for the special operations camp, there was no one in the New Regiment. A few can do it.

And he could see that the shot Zhao Gang fired at that time was indeed a stroke of luck, not luck.

Besides, with a gun like this, if it's so far away, even if you're lucky, you won't be able to hit the target. The factors involved cannot be compensated by luck.

Zhao Gang has practiced marksmanship for eight years, or in other words, Zhao Gang is also the kind of person who is born to be able to use a gun as soon as he touches it. Based on this alone, Li Yunlong will not look down on Zhao Gang.

"We have just met. It is normal for the leader to have misunderstandings about me." Zhao Gang said.

"I'll give you a toast when you get back and make amends to you." Li Yunlong said.

"Captain, don't forget about the bet." Staff Officer Zhong interjected.

"Go, go, what's the matter with you."

"Hahaha, captain, we are all witnesses. We can't drink for a month, and we are all watching. You can't keep your word." Deputy Captain Qian couldn't help but chat.

"Damn it, who's talking doesn't count? If I spit and spit, I won't drink for a month. I'm kidding." Li Yunlong laughed and scolded.

Staff Officer Zhong couldn't help but feel happy. Zhao Gang watched from the side and found it interesting. Although these people were bickering, it didn't mean that their relationship was bad, but it was a sign of a good relationship.

If people in the leadership are competing against each other, it is still not good for a unit and can easily affect the overall combat effectiveness.

Just like the national army, there are many factions, and even a combat meeting has to compete with each other. Each has its own agenda. This kind of army is no different from a loose sand.

By the time Li Yunlong and the others returned to the regiment headquarters, it was already past twelve o'clock in the morning.

"Old Zhao, it's getting late. You should go and rest first. I have something to tell you tomorrow." Li Yunlong said.

"Yeah, okay." Zhao Gang nodded and went back to his residence to rest first, but he was also curious, what would Li Yunlong say to him tomorrow? !

After Zhao Gang left, Li Yunlong, Deputy Commander Qian, and Staff Officer Zhong sat on the kang in the room.

"Captain, what you want to tell the political commissar is about attacking the Hengshi Mine, right?" said Staff Officer Zhong.

When Zhao Gang came here, Li Yunlong never mentioned this matter before. He probably didn't intend to tell Zhao Gang at that time. Now that Zhao Gang has Li Yunlong's approval, it's not surprising that he did.

"You are like a roundworm in my belly, you know everything." Li Yunlong said, it is really convenient to communicate with his own people, there are not so many twists and turns.

"Captain, were you planning to let Political Commissar Zhao stay at the regiment headquarters?" Deputy Captain Qian also said. He was sure that what Li Yunlong was thinking at the time was to let Zhao Gang stay at the regiment headquarters once he set off for the Hengshi Mine.

"Yeah." Li Yunlong nodded and admitted. He did think so before Zhao Gang came. After all, he was well managed and very free in the New Regiment. Suddenly a political commissar came to take care of him. He said that he was happy. lie.

"I feel pretty good about Political Commissar Zhao. We can have more contact with him." Li Yunlong said directly. He felt that Zhao Gang was quite to his liking.

He is educated and can kill Japanese, so he is not a idiot.

"Captain, that's not what you said before." Staff Officer Zhong joked. Li Yunlong had just met Zhao Gang, and it was full of gunpowder.

When he opened his mouth, he said that Zhao Gang was a white-faced scholar, which meant that Zhao Gang had a good temper and did not care about Li Yunlong.

If it were anyone else, they would probably get into a fight. After all, they have done nothing, yet they are called a white-faced scholar when they meet. What is the difference between that and calling someone a waste.

"I didn't know that Zhao Gang had this skill before. I saw the shot he fired just now with my own eyes.
His hand was very steady, and when he pulled the trigger, he didn't hesitate at all. His eyes were very firm, and he knew what he was doing. "Li Yunlong said.

"If he didn't take two shots, he probably wouldn't have been able to hit. I guess there's still some luck involved, but if you have no ability, even luck won't be of any use." Staff Officer Zhong said.

No matter how lucky you are, you must have some foundation, otherwise if you ask him to shoot into the sky, if he can hit the designated target that far away, it is not luck, then he is a god descending to earth.

"Indeed, but I feel that Political Commissar Zhao is only good at marksmanship, not very good at shooting, and may not be able to play with knives." Deputy Commander Qian also commented.

He could still tell whether Zhao Gang was good with a knife.

"It's enough to have good marksmanship. Do you think everyone is a soldier of the special operations company?" Li Yunlong said. His marksmanship alone is more accurate than many people.

"That's right, Political Commissar Zhao is a political commissar, not a warrior who charges into battle. It's enough to have good marksmanship." Staff Officer Zhong also said.

After all, Zhao Gang was also the leader of the new regiment. He couldn't really rush to the front like ordinary soldiers. His role was not to fight with the Japanese with bayonets.

Throwing Zhao Gang into a bayonet fight with the Japanese would be overkill.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, go to bed quickly." Li Yunlong drove people away.

Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian stood up and left. When they walked out of the yard, a cold wind blew in, causing them to tighten their collars before leaving.

Before going to bed, Li Yunlong also went out to patrol various sentries to ensure that the sentries at each post were standing guard. This was already his habit. Without patrolling, he would not be able to sleep peacefully.

When Li Yunlong returned to his residence after patrolling, Zhao Gang also saw this scene.

"Captain Li probably went on patrol." Zhao Gang thought to himself. He didn't expect that in such a cold weather, Li Yunlong could still go on patrol before going to bed.

Although the brigade commander said that Li Yunlong was a thorn in the side, he could also tell that the brigade commander still valued Li Yunlong.Early the next morning, after Li Yunlong had a simple meal, he called Zhao Gang and the others into the conference room.

"Old Zhao, take a look at this map." Li Yunlong spread a map on the table.

"This is... the map over there in Taiyuan?!" Zhao Gang's pupils shrank.

"Yes, it's the map of Taiyuan." Li Yunlong nodded. He asked Li Jin to copy a copy of this map and give it to him.

"Then the point marked above should be the Japs branch, right?!" Zhao Gang said, this is already obvious.

"Yes."

"This drawing is so detailed, it must have been drawn by someone from the special operations company that the regiment leader mentioned." Zhao Gang guessed.

This map is very detailed, and the terrain is well drawn. Anyone who can read a map can see it at a glance. Moreover, the number of Japanese and puppet soldiers is even marked.

People who can do this are not simple. Therefore, he guessed that it was painted by someone from the special operations company, or perhaps by the company commander Li Jin of the special operations company.

"You guessed it right. It was painted by people from the Special Operations Company. Look at this location. It's a Japanese mine called Hengshi Mine. The Japanese captured tens of thousands of Chinese people mining here." Li Yunlong pointed. The location of Hengshi Mine on the map.

"Captain, is this your plan to save the people in this mine?!" Zhao Gang immediately understood what Li Yunlong meant.

"But how come there are more than 2000 Japs guarding this mine?!" Zhao Gang looked at the number of Japs marked at that location, and it seemed that there were no puppet troops in the mine.

"I don't know, but the brigade commander suspects that the Japanese may be using this mine as a cover to conduct bacterial experiments!" Li Yunlong said.

"What?! Bacteria experiment?! If the Japanese wanted to do bacteria experiments, why would they come here?!" Zhao Gang was puzzled.

With the capabilities of the Japanese, it shouldn't be difficult to find a location for a laboratory in the occupied county.

"Because international reporters have been sent to China, the Japanese did not dare to do this in the occupied counties, so they went to a slightly farther location." Li Yunlong said.

"How did the international community know about this?!" Zhao Gang asked, he was still unclear about this matter.

"Have you heard about the independent regiment's attack on the county town?!" Li Yunlong said patiently.

"Well, I heard about it. The teacher talked about it when I was in school." Zhao Gang nodded and said. It was the first time that the Eighth Route Army broke into a county guarded by the Japanese. It was normal to use it as an example.

"Don't tell me, the Japanese were conducting bacterial experiments in the county seat!" Zhao Gang suddenly guessed what he was talking about and said.

"Well, it can't be said that it was done. The Japs had this plan, but the independent group happened to break into the county and discovered it. They also got the Japs' experimental materials." Li Yunlong said.

If the county seat had not been breached at that time, I am afraid they would not have known about it. By then, I don’t know how many people would have been captured by the Japanese for experiments.

"That's unreasonable! These devils are really worse than animals!" Zhao Gang cursed angrily, his chest heaving with anger.

Li Yunlong watched quietly. It was expected that Zhao Gang would be angry, but the scolding was not unpleasant enough. It would be better if it was more unpleasant.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back when I heard this. I lost my temper." Zhao Gang quickly explained.

"It's okay. It's normal to be angry." Li Yunlong didn't pay much attention.

"Captain, please continue talking." Zhao Gang said.

"After Li Jin got the experimental materials, he returned to the brigade headquarters and started to translate them. After the content was translated, the brigade commander was very angry.
Later, the brigade commander handed over the translation content, and then handed it over to the National Army. Finally, the National Army exploded the information to the international community, which caused some trouble for the Japanese. "Li Yunlong said.

"So that's how it was, so international reporters came to China to investigate, and the Japanese restrained themselves a little." Zhao Gang nodded.

"So, this Hengshi Mine is very likely to be a Japanese bacterial laboratory." Li Yunlong said.

"At that time, Li Jin from the special operations company was also involved in the attack on the county town?! But why did no one mention this?!" Zhao Gang suddenly reacted.

"The brigade commander won't let you report, so don't ask too much." Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang only needs to know some scraps, and we have to look at the specific situation.

"Okay." Zhao Gang didn't ask any more questions, but he was becoming more and more interested in Li Jin. He could lead troops to fight and speak Japanese. This man was very versatile.

"However, can we defeat a mine guarded by more than 2000 Japanese soldiers?!" Zhao Gang became worried.

"Who said we are the only ones, as well as Li Jin's special operations company and the troops of the [-]th Regiment over there. Together, it is not a problem to conquer a county town, let alone a mine." Li Yunlong said.

If only the New Regiment were to attack the mine guarded by more than 2000 Japs, it would not be seeking death. Although the New Regiment was now very powerful, Li Yunlong was not arrogant enough to think that he could fight with more than 3000 Japs against more than 2000 Japs.

"There are only about [-] people in the special operations company. Even if they are more powerful and add the [-]th Regiment, it will probably be difficult to take down the Hengshi Mine.

Moreover, if the mine is attacked, the Japanese who are relatively close to the mine will definitely come to support, which is very risky. "Zhao Gang said. He admitted that the special operations company was powerful, but their numbers were too small.

And there are many factors to consider. You can't just rush over and attack the mine as soon as your brain gets hot. You also have to consider the support of the Japanese and the issue of retreat after rescuing people.

"Who told you that the special operations company only has 300 people? Moreover, it is not a special operations company, but a special operations battalion. They have recruited a thousand soldiers in Taiyuan and are still training." Li Yunlong said.

If this were not the case, if Li Jin wanted to attack Hengheng Quarry with only 300 people, Li Yunlong would not agree, because it would be impossible to defeat it, and even if it were defeated, there would not be enough people to move the rescued people.

But there are 1000 people in the special operations battalion, which is different. With Li Jin's ability, not to mention training all 1000 people to the combat effectiveness of the special operations company, at least one-third of the 1000 people can be achieved.

Don't underestimate this one third, easily crushing the same number of Japs is not a problem.

"That means that these 1000 people are all new recruits?!" Zhao Gang said. If the veterans are okay, the new recruits have little combat experience and will suffer more casualties in a fight.

"Didn't I say that Li Jin is still training them? Before the war starts, these soldiers will all kill bandits for training.

After these soldiers have seen blood and killed people, they are no longer much different from veterans. "Li Yunlong said, he is still very clear about Li Jin's training methods, and bandits are Li Jin's whetstones.

Recruits who have never seen blood and recruits who have seen blood are two different people. Li Jin trained the recruits to make this transformation before fighting the Japanese.
