Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

While the Japanese were still discussing the attack on the checkpoint, Li Jin had already led his troops back to the base area.

This military training was a great success. All the new recruits were filled with murderous intent and had transformed into real warriors.

In particular, various companies attacked Japanese checkpoints and watchtowers, killing thousands of Japanese and nearly 2000 puppet soldiers, and seized countless guns and ammunition. The warehouses in each company's base area were filled with items.

Liujiacun, in the command room.

The chief and deputy company commanders of the special operations battalion have already taken their seats.

"Battal Commander, this time the second company killed more than 150 bandits, 300 and seven Japanese, and more than [-] puppet soldiers!"

"Battal Commander, in three consecutive rounds, we killed more than 300 bandits, 120 Japanese, and more than 200 puppet soldiers..."

"Batalion Commander, Fourth Company..."

Several company commanders reported their respective achievements one after another. Without exception, when reporting the number of Japs killed, they all calculated it accurately, while as for the bandits and puppet soldiers, they calculated it vaguely.

Because in their eyes, killing bandits and puppet soldiers is not worth mentioning at all, so fuzzy calculations are already very good.

"You can't even do it with the third company. How can we kill as many Japanese as our second company?"

"Fart, that's just because there aren't many devils at the checkpoint at our end. Although the number is not as large as your company, there are definitely more people at the checkpoint at our end than you!"

"Okay, okay, don't argue. If you ask me, our company is still the best. We killed 180 Japs. Your record is nothing!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but said. The results of several companies now are still better than theirs.

"Old Liu, if the battalion commander hadn't been leading your company, how could you have killed so many people."

"That's right, the battalion commander led his team to kill nearly a hundred Japanese, and you were just a casualty."

"Yes, if the battalion commander was in our company, we would definitely kill more Japanese."

For a moment, several company commanders unanimously turned their guns towards Liu Changshun.

"Hey hey hey, what's going on? Why are you all coming at me?" Liu Changshun was also numb, no matter how noisy he was, you all came at him.

"That's enough! Shut up, everyone! What are you arguing about?" Li Jin frowned and scolded.

No one dared to speak immediately.

Xu Qingfeng looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little emotional. When did they kill the Japanese like this?

"Lü Changgong, Xiao Jinming, you two haven't reported their battle results yet." Li Jin looked at the two of them. The companies in front had all reported their battle results, but the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooter company remained silent. They sat firmly on Mount Taishan.

"The reconnaissance company killed 270 and 500 Japanese soldiers and more than [-] puppet soldiers." Lu Changgong added at the end: "It's not particularly dangerous."

Hearing this, the other company commanders all fell silent. They thought that the reconnaissance company would kill a lot of Japanese, but they didn't expect so many.

"Damn it, your reconnaissance company is awesome!" Liu Changshun couldn't help but give Lu Changgong a thumbs up.

"Actually, it's to be expected. If you kill fewer Japanese than us, then your training will be in vain." Zhao Ming said.

He had already expected that the reconnaissance company represented the strongest combat power of the special operations battalion. If they killed fewer Japanese than other companies, it could only be said that their previous training was in vain.

"Indeed, it shows that you didn't even slack off in training. It's probably not much worse than us before." Third Company Commander Jiang He also said.

The current combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company is probably not much weaker than that of the previous special operations company. What is missing is just the number of actual battles.

When there are more battles in the future, the reconnaissance company will be the strongest company worthy of the name of the special operations battalion.

"Our reconnaissance company naturally does not dare to slack off." Lu Changgong said. Since he was promoted to company commander, he has not dared to slack off in the training of his soldiers.

Because the reconnaissance company has the most supplies in the special operations battalion, if he can't improve the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company, then he will have no shame to meet the battalion commander, let alone be the company commander.

"Well, you did a good job." Xu Qingfeng nodded and praised. Although Lu Changgong was promoted from a squad leader to a company commander by Li Jin, he did not disappoint Li Jin's expectations and trained the reconnaissance company.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, I think our company is not bad at all. Why don't you praise me?" Upon seeing this, Liu Changshun began to take credit. He was smiling, waiting for Xu Qingfeng's praise.

"What do you have to boast about? Your performance this time is indeed a bit poor." Xu Qingfeng struck without hesitation.

The teams led by him and Li Jin both killed nearly a hundred Japanese, but Liu Changshun and the others only killed more than 80 Japanese, which was indeed a bit unsatisfactory.

"Aren't I being cautious?" Liu Changshun muttered.

"Look, even the deputy battalion commander said you were a little behind." Zhao Ming smiled, and the others also smiled.

This battle only ended with Liu Changshun being wounded mentally.

"What about the Sharpshooter Company?!" Li Jin looked at Xiao Jinming and said.

"We had fewer Japs than those in the reconnaissance killing spree, and only killed 230 people." Xiao Jinming said modestly.

"Wori, damn, you are too modest!" Liu Changshun cursed, and the Sharpshooter Company also killed more than 200 people.

"It's a bit bad!" Li Jin said. He thought that the Japs that the Sharpshooter Company could kill might be as good as the Detective Company.

After all, the soldiers of the Sharpshooter Company were the most accurate in marksmanship, and it was Li Jin who allowed Xiao Jinming to select talented recruits from other companies for training.

"No, battalion commander, this is already very impressive." Liu Changshun's eyes widened when he heard Li Jin's words. Even with such a record, the battalion commander was still not satisfied.

The number of people alone is almost twice that of the third company, which is pretty awesome.

"Sorry, our company will try to kill more Japanese next time." Xiao Jinming said seriously. He knew that the battalion commander had high hopes for their company, and it was also his problem that he failed to meet the standards.

"I don't blame you, you have done a good job." Xu Qingfeng said.

"I really don't blame you. After all, you don't have much experience in leading troops. It's already very good to be able to do this. It's just that I set your goals too high." Li Jin also said.

After all, it was Xiao Jinming's first time as a company commander. Before that, he had only led a dozen or twenty soldiers. Now he had led 200 people at once. It was normal to feel pressure.

Moreover, Xiao Jinming is not too old, only eighteen or nineteen years old, a few years younger than Lu Changgong. It is normal for him to be inferior in some places. To be able to do this, Xiao Jinming is already very good and a qualified company commander. .

"Batalion Commander, I will work hard!" Xiao Jinming said seriously. "Don't be too stressed. Since you are also the commander of the company, don't push yourself too hard. Sometimes, it will be counterproductive." Li Jin smiled.

In his opinion, Xiao Jinming is still very good, but the goal he set is simply too high, and he thinks Xiao Jinming can also achieve his level.

But he forgot that if it weren't for the system, he wouldn't be able to do this, but he set Xiao Jinming's goal on himself, which was a bit too much.

"Well, yes." Xiao Jinming nodded, but secretly made up his mind to meet the battalion commander's expectations in the future and not to disappoint him.

"Only a dozen soldiers were slightly injured in this training operation, but no soldiers died. Overall, it was much better than I expected. You all did a good job." Li Jin glanced at everyone and said.

In fact, before the training, Li Jin was still a little worried that other companies might suffer casualties, but he did not expect that the number of casualties would be zero.

In fact, he had already made plans. If a soldier died, he would personally go to the home of the deceased soldier to deliver a death notice.

But I didn't expect that only two dozen soldiers were slightly injured and could take part in the battle after recovering for a while. Moreover, after this battle, the soldiers in the special operations battalion had accumulated practical experience, which is the most important thing.

A soldier who has never seen blood or killed anyone is still a recruit. No amount of training will make him grow faster than an actual battle.

"Battal Commander, when are we going to attack the Beishan Mine?!" Liu Changshun asked. He had not forgotten that the Battalion Commander said he would attack the Beishan Mine.

"Yes, the soldiers' morale is at its peak right now, and they are practicing with the Japs from the Beishan Mine!" Zhao Ming also said.

Although the others did not speak, they all looked at Li Jin with the same meaning.

"Don't worry. We'll wait until the New Regiment figures out the situation in the Beishan Mine. Let the soldiers have a good rest in the past two days and there will be no training for the time being." Li Jin said.

The soldiers are also tired from fighting in the past few days. It is time to take a rest and let the soldiers calm down the murderous intention in their hearts. Otherwise, their bodies will be prone to problems.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"In the past few days, let the veterans pay more attention to the new recruits to see if any of them have psychological problems.

Once this happens, psychological counseling must be provided as soon as possible to prevent them from having psychological problems!Understand! "Li Jin warned seriously.

The reason why recruits are given two days of rest after training is to see if any of them have psychological problems due to killing someone.

Some people can survive, but some people will fall into self-doubt. He doesn't want soldiers to hurt themselves.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded seriously. They knew the seriousness of this matter, so they didn't dare to neglect it. If any recruits died because of this, the battalion commander would probably skin them.

"Then let's go back to our base." Li Jin waved his hand and asked them to go back to their base.

Everyone left the command room one after another, and the idiot Liu Changshun followed him out again. Then he realized when he reached the door that this was not his base, so he went back and sat down.

"What's the matter with you kid? Isn't this the base of your company? You want to run out every day." Li Jin was also a little bit dumbfounded.

"No, mainly because I saw them leaving and followed them subconsciously." Liu Changshun smiled awkwardly.

Li Jin shook his head helplessly. Liu Changshun didn't know his position correctly.

However, it may also be related to the fact that he has always regarded the first company as the headquarters. It seems that he has to change the company to serve as the headquarters every week. This is a good opportunity to see the training situation of other companies and correct any problems in time.

The key is to let the recruits get to know him better.

"Old Xu, how many weapons did we seize this time?!" Li Jin said. He didn't know the specific number of weapons yet.

"More than 300 rifles, 25 light machine guns, [-] heavy machine guns, and [-] grenadiers." Xu Qingfeng took out the list of seized weapons and handed it to Li Jin for inspection.

"Leave eight hundred rifles, ten light machine guns, five heavy machine guns, and five grenades. Turn in the rest." Li Jin thought for a while and said.

The special operations battalion already has a lot of light machine guns and heavy machine guns, leaving only a small half, and the rest are all turned over to the brigade headquarters.

Although the brigade commander said that the weapons seized by their special operations battalion could be kept for his own use, Li Jin felt that he still had to hand over some of them. After all, it was not easy for other troops.

The key is that if Li Jin wants to seize these guns, he can seize them at any time. There is no need to keep too many.

"Well, but we are only 500 people short of reaching full recruitment. Are you planning to recruit more people by leaving [-] more rifles?" Xu Qingfeng said.

In their warehouse, they already have enough guns for the number of people they will recruit later, and there are even hundreds more. Even if they have to worry about the guns breaking and needing to be replaced, there is no need to keep so many.

"Well, although the brigade commander only gave me a quota of [-] people, I feel that I can recruit more people when the time comes. Now that I have decided to recruit people, don't be timid.

Recruit more people and strengthen your own strength. When one day you counterattack the Japanese, you won't be short of manpower! "Li Jin nodded and said.

He knew that there would be a counterattack day, so he started to prepare now and train his troops well. Then he would be able to capture a few more cities and strengthen the Eighth Route Army.

"Are you thinking too far ahead? You're already thinking about counterattack." Xu Qingfeng said. He felt that this day would not come so soon. The Japs were still very capable.

"It's not far away. The devils won't be able to hold on for long. They have great ambitions. They may offend countries they shouldn't offend.

Once the front line is lengthened, the transportation and consumption of materials will also be huge. They cannot afford such a huge burden! "Li Jin said slowly.

When the Japanese have no brains and pull the United States off the battlefield, it is destined that this battle will not last long.

Originally, the United States did not intend to end so quickly. They only wanted to make war profits, but the Japanese wanted to overthrow the American navy in one fell swoop.

As a result, the navy did not defeat them, but it also angered the United States and directly confronted the Japanese.

Xu Qingfeng looked at Li Jin and felt that Li Jin's strategic vision was becoming more and more long-term, and his considerations were far further than what he thought.

"Actually, I plan to give some of the extra rifles to the 400th Regiment. I heard that the [-]th Regiment is very difficult. There are still [-] soldiers in the whole regiment who don't have guns to use.
If they were allowed to participate in the task of rescuing the Hengshi Mine, a lot of people would probably be sacrificed.
Therefore, half of the rifles were given to the [-]th Regiment, and five light machine guns and two heavy machine guns were loaned to the [-]th Regiment to increase their firepower. "Li Jin continued to talk about leaving more rifles.

The firepower of the [-]th Regiment is insufficient, and many people may be sacrificed in a fight. We are all our own people, and Li Jin still does not want to see excessive casualties in his own troops.

"That's what you said. The Daheng Quarry still needs sufficient firepower." Xu Qingfeng nodded.
