Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Is this like this?!" Li Jin was lost in thought for a while. If these things could keep multiplying, that would be really good, as it would allow the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to eat meat.

Nutrition can keep up, training intensity can keep up, and combat effectiveness can be improved. In this way, the Eighth Route Army will become very powerful within a year or two.

However, after thinking about it, at least it can solve the problem of the special operations camp's lack of food later, which is okay.

The further you go in the special operations camp training, the more meat you will need, and you won't be able to get that much meat even if you have money.

"Although you can't reproduce multiple times, it will solve the problems you will encounter later. Don't be too greedy." The system said.

If these fast-growing pups could reproduce and grow indefinitely, it would destroy the entire world.

"You're right, let's upgrade." Li Jin said. He made the decision to upgrade to solve the problems that would arise later.

"The host agrees to upgrade, and five thousand merit points will be deducted. The system will sleep for half a month to prepare for the upgrade." The system said.

"What the hell?! It took you so long to level up?! Then can the Japanese I killed during this period count as meritorious service?" Li Jin said quickly.

The system will be upgraded when it is upgraded, but he is going to attack the Beishan Mine recently. The Japanese killed there are also a lot of merit points. What if the system is asleep and no merit points are calculated? !

"Host, don't worry, the system is just sleeping, not dead. If you kill the Japs during this period, your merit will still be counted." The system replied.

"That's fine, go ahead and upgrade." Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He wouldn't have been promoted so quickly if he didn't count the merit points.

There is no sound coming from the system, and the blue interface in front of me is automatically closed.

"Now that the meat problem is solved, there's the problem of recruiting people." Li Jin touched his chin.

Everyone who can be recruited nearby has been recruited. It seems that the recruitment is going to be farther away. However, the closer the village is to Taiyuan, the less dare it is to let the villagers join the Eighth Route Army.

Because once someone reports it, all those who join the army will be killed by the Japanese.

Therefore, those villages dare not let their juniors join the army.

The risk is already high. If the younger generation is sacrificed and the elders are killed by the Japanese, what's the point? !Li Jin didn't want to recruit soldiers and harm others.

"Damn, damn Japs!" Li Jin couldn't help but curse, it was all those Japs' fault, otherwise he wouldn't have thought so much.

"The ones who deserve the most damnation should be those who reported it!" Li Jin continued to scold, if someone hadn't reported it, it wouldn't have been like this.

However, people are inherently selfish. If they don't report it, if the Japanese find out, the entire village may die.

Li Jin felt helpless when he thought of this. It seemed that those people shouldn't be scolded like this.

"Forget it, there must be a way to reach the mountain. Let's talk about it then." Li Jin shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

"I seem to have forgotten something." Li Jin was stunned. He felt as if he had forgotten something.

At this time, Xu Qingfeng walked in.

"Damn, Lao Xu, send a telegram to the brigade commander quickly and tell him that we lent five light machine guns and two heavy machine guns to the [-]th Regiment." Li Jin said quickly.

I lent the rifle but there was nothing much to say, but the machine gun was already a relatively powerful weapon, let alone a heavy machine gun.

He didn't even say a word to the brigade commander about lending out the machine gun, which was unacceptable.

"I have already sent a telegram to the brigade commander." Xu Qingfeng said.

"Ah?! You've already sent it?!" Li Jin was stunned.

"Otherwise." Xu Qingfeng said. When Li Jin planned to borrow a machine gun to go out, he was already ready to send a telegram to the brigade commander.

"What did the brigade commander say?!" Li Jin asked.

"If the brigade commander says you can borrow it, just borrow it. Even if you don't mention it, I will mention it," Xu Qingfeng said.

The brigade commander also knew that the [-]th Regiment was in trouble, so when he learned that Li Jin had borrowed so many machine guns, he did not blame him at all. Instead, he felt that Li Jin knew how to take care of his own people.

"As expected." Li Jin said. The brigade commander was not a stingy person. Besides, even if these guns were lent out, Li Jin could still capture them.

"By the way, what do you want from me?!" Li Jin asked. Xu Qingfeng must have something to say when he comes here so late.

"I went back and thought about it, and I felt that it was better to let the recruitment matter go." Xu Qingfeng said.

"What's wrong?!" Li Jin asked.

"With our current situation, we can only support so many people. If we are recruiting people, we will probably have to go further to buy meat, and transporting it back will also be very risky. Therefore, we can slowly recruit people." ." Xu Qingfeng asked the question.

"Moreover, in terms of recruiting people, we also need to go further. There is also a lot of risk. The closer we get to Taiyuan, the less likely the villages there are to let people join the army." Xu Qingfeng continued to talk about the problems he might face.

Although the villages near Taiyuan were not massacred by the Japanese, they were clearly warned that if anyone joined the army, they would be massacred directly.

"The key is that there are many young and middle-aged people in the village over there who were captured by the Japanese and became puppet soldiers. This is to prevent anyone from the village from joining the Eighth Route Army or the National Army. It will be even more difficult to recruit people." Xu Qingfeng said.

"What you said is indeed a problem. In terms of meat, it doesn't matter if you go farther away. Although there are some risks, if you be careful and send a few more people to take care of it, there will be no problem." Li Jin said.

Fortunately, the system was upgraded, otherwise he would really have a headache in this regard.

"Well... okay." Xu Qingfeng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"As for the recruitment issue you mentioned, I am thinking that when the time comes to rescue the people in the Hengshi Mine, we will see if any of them are willing to join us. We don't need to think so much." Li Jin said slowly.

Many of the people in Hengshi Mine were captured by the Japanese from other places, which solved the problem of conscription.

"Yes, it's not impossible to do this!" Xu Qingfeng laughed. He was still worried that it would be difficult to recruit people. Now it seems that the problem has been solved.

"So, the problem is temporarily solved." Li Jin said, he had just thought of this.

"You really think further than me." Xu Qingfeng said. Although Li Jin has some shortcomings, he always thinks further than him when it comes to solving problems.

"Okay, I'll go to bed first." Xu Qingfeng turned and left.

Li Jin also felt a little tired, so he lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

.........

At nine o'clock in the evening, Wu Meng returned to the headquarters of the [-]th Regiment.

When the regiment leader Xiao Yu learned that the special operations battalion not only lent them guns but also seven machine guns, he was extremely shocked. "This special operations camp just lent us things?!" In the warehouse, Xiao Yu looked at the weapons that had entered the warehouse, and he was still in a daze.

"Yes, they have helped our group a lot." Wu Meng nodded.

"No, no, Brigadier Chen has agreed to lend out so many machine guns?!" Xiao Yu thought of the crux of the problem.

The special operations battalion is under the control of Brigadier Chen. With so many guns, Li Jin would probably be in a lot of trouble if he didn't get permission from Brigadier Chen.

"Well, I forgot to ask about this." Wu Meng also realized that he was just looking at the gun and didn't think deeply about the meaning.

"However, Li Jin should tell Brigadier Chen, otherwise he would not dare to borrow so many guns directly." Wu Meng said.

In his opinion, Li Jin considered things quite carefully and would not make such a small mistake.

"Yes, but it's better to ask, so as not to cause trouble to Li Jin." Xiao Yu said, although he was very excited about this batch of guns, he couldn't let Li Jin get into trouble.

Xiao Yu was planning to send someone to send a telegram to Brigadier Chen, but the telegraph operator came over first to report.

"Regiment commander, the brigade commander sent a telegram saying that the special operations battalion lent guns to the [-]th Regiment. Brigadier Chen already knows about it and has agreed." The telegraph operator told the contents of the telegram.

"That's good." Xiao Yu nodded. In this case, these guns can be used safely.

"Captain, what kind of gun did the special operations battalion lend us?! Why did you alert Brigadier Chen?! Could it be several machine guns?!" The telegraph operator was a little confused. If he just borrowed a rifle, Brigadier Chen would not be alarmed. There he personally sent a telegram to the brigade commander to explain.

"Yeah." Xiao Yu nodded.

.........

Two days later.

The new regiment.

Luo Chen, the leader of the intelligence team, took people back to the village.

After Li Yunlong found out, he immediately called Zhao Gang and others to the conference room for a meeting.

After a few people sat down, Li Yunlong looked at Luo Chen and said, "Tell me the information you detected."

"Yes!" Luo Chen nodded, took out a map from his arms, and nailed it to the blackboard.

"The Yuanhe Bridge has been built by the Japanese. Now the Japanese guarding the bridge head have reached two squadrons in the military camp on one side alone, with more than 300 or almost 400 people.
In other words, the total number of Japanese on both sides of the bridge was nearly 800! "When Luo Chen said this, his expression became serious.

"Damn it, why did the Japs send twice as many people to guard the bridge!" Deputy Commander Qian couldn't help but curse. He remembered that when they attacked Yuanhe Bridge before, there were only two squadrons of Japs, but now there were twice as many Japs. !
"It seems that the bombing of Yuanhe Bridge has made the Japanese more cautious." Li Yunlong also frowned.

He didn't expect that the Japanese would actually double the number of people to guard Yuanhe Bridge. This was something he didn't expect.

"It should be the reason why Yuanhe Bridge was bombed, which prevented a large amount of ore from being transported out, and the Japanese leaders were scolded miserably, so they sent so many people to guard it," said Staff Officer Zhong.

The inability to transport a large amount of ore means that the Japanese cannot refine the ore into useful metals as soon as possible, which will delay some of the Japanese manufacturing.

"Beishan Mine, if I remember correctly, requires the Yuanhe Bridge to transport the ore out quickly. Without knocking down the Yuanhe Bridge, it will still be difficult for us to move to the Beishan Mine," Zhao Gang also said.

If they want to capture the Beishan Mine, they must be wary of Yuanheqiao's support. The combat effectiveness of the Eight Hundred Japs is quite terrifying. Not to mention dispatching all of them, even half of them can cause them a lot of trouble.

"Damn it, I really didn't expect the Japanese to send so many people!" Li Yunlong felt that it was a bit tricky. If they relied on them alone, it would be very difficult to capture the Yuanhe Bridge.

The key is to consider the support of Guyuan County when attacking Yuanhe Bridge. Even if Guyuan County does not come to support, it will be very difficult for the New Regiment to attack Yuanhe Bridge and it is estimated that many people will have to sacrifice.

"Luo Chen, please continue and tell us about the Japanese guards in Beishan Mine." Li Yunlong said, he still wanted to know the specific situation.

"There are relatively few Japs in Beishan Mine, only about 500 people, but there are still more than 300 puppet troops." Luo Chen said slowly.

If you fight the new group in Beishan Mine alone, you can still do it.

"The puppet army is nothing, I haven't taken it seriously yet." Li Yunlong said directly. If there were more than 1000 Japanese, he would be a little more afraid. As for the puppet army, their combat effectiveness is low and there is no need to pay attention to it.

"Captain, these puppet troops don't seem to be recruited locally. They should be transferred from the Northeast and trained by the Japanese." Luo Chen couldn't help but say.

Many of the puppet troops over there were originally troops from the national army who surrendered to the Japanese and then became puppet troops. They still have combat effectiveness to some extent.

"So what, the surrendered soldiers still don't have much combat effectiveness." Li Yunlong continued, still saying the same thing, he didn't take the puppet army lightly, whether they were trained or not, it didn't matter.

"Captain, it's better not to take it lightly, lest the boat capsizes in the gutter." Zhao Gang couldn't help but remind him.

"What you said makes some sense. Just take it a little seriously." Li Yunlong said. With Li Jin here, he felt more at ease.

"Then there is the Japs' railway transfer station, which has also been built. There is a squadron of Japs in it.

However, no supplies have been shipped to this transfer station in the past few days. They have probably been sent to other counties. Luo Chen said.

He naturally understood why Li Yunlong asked him to inquire about the transfer station. He must have wanted to attack again and get the supplies inside.

"Tsk, that's boring. This little devil doesn't agree with me." Li Yunlong smacked his lips. It would be a good thing if supplies happened to be transported to the transfer station.

"In addition to the transfer station and the supply depot past Yuanhe Bridge, the Japanese also sent an additional squadron of soldiers. It is probably because the Yuanhe Bridge was bombed that the Japanese had a psychological shadow." Luo Chen continued.

"Hiss... there seem to be a lot of people!" Zhao Gang frowned.

There are 2000 Japs in Yuanhe Bridge, nearly 1000 in the transfer station, and nearly [-] in the railway supply station. Including the Japs in the Beishan Mine, there are more than [-] Japs, and there are more than [-] puppet troops.

That's more than 3000 people. This Beishan mine is not generally difficult to conquer.

The key is that Guyuan County, which is closer to the Beishan Mine, will definitely send troops to support it. It is estimated that the number of people sent will not be less than one brigade.

If you think about it this way, attacking the Beishan Mine feels like courting death.

Deputy Commander Qian and Staff Officer Zhong were also silent at this moment. In fact, they did not expect that a Beishan mine would be so troublesome.

"Captain, why don't we forget about this Beishan Mine?!" Deputy Commander Qian hesitated and said.

He felt that it was better not to attack the Beishan Mine. The risk was too great. If something went wrong, the New Regiment might be destroyed.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that it would be better to give up the Beishan Mine.
