Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Staff Officer Zhong and Zhao Gang also looked at Li Yunlong, their meanings were obvious, thinking that the Beishan Mine could not be defeated.

"Why, you don't think you can fight?!" Li Yunlong smiled.

"The risk is indeed not small." Zhao Gang said. The number of Japanese and puppet troops who could come was more than the combined number of the new group.

"Nearly four thousand Japs are indeed a lot, but I have no intention of annihilating them.

Even if the special operations battalion is here, it would be stupid to do this. Even if they can be wiped out, the new regiment will probably be defeated. "Li Yunlong said.

He was not a fool and would not be so arrogant as to think that they could eliminate so many Japs.

If there weren't so many Japs in Yuanhe Bridge and there was a special operations battalion, he might really have plans to kill the Japs and increase their numbers.

"What the leader means is that our target is only the Beishan Mine. As for the other Japs, we only need to send some people to delay the Japs' support?!" Zhao Gang also understood what Li Yunlong meant.

Their goal from beginning to end was the Beishan Mine. Li Yunlong may have had the idea of ​​killing other Japs before, but after learning that there were so many Japs, he decisively gave up the idea.

It would be enough to send troops to hold off the Japs' support, allowing them to successfully conquer the Beishan Mine and rescue the people inside.

"Old Zhao, you are not stupid. Now that you have chosen the target, just do this. Besides, the specific plan still has to wait for the special operations battalion to arrive.

Li Jin's soldiers have been trained. When the time comes, if this guy says he can fight other devils, he will fight them. "Li Yunlong said.

He still doesn't know quite how far Li Jin's military training has reached and whether his combat effectiveness is strong enough. Everything still needs to wait for Li Jin's return.

"Well, we still have to wait for Li Jin to come back." Deputy Captain Qian nodded in agreement.

Zhao Gang looked at the two people and found that they seemed to have inexplicable trust in Li Jin.

"Old Zhao, if you have anything else you want to say, just say it." Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang's doubts and said.

"I always feel that you all have great trust in Li Jin. Is his special operations battalion really that strong?!" Zhao Gang expressed his doubts.

"Didn't I tell you that when the special operations battalion was still a special operations company, it broke out from the siege of tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers?
You don't really think it's all luck. "Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang probably thinks that luck plays a big part in the special battle company's performance.

Zhao Gang didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescing to these words.

"Yes, after all, you haven't seen their combat effectiveness with your own eyes. It's normal to have doubts about the fact that the special operations battalion is stronger than the Japanese.

But I can guarantee you that the troops led by Li Jin are definitely stronger than you think! "Li Yunlong's tone was full of confidence.

"Political Commissar Zhao, in this regiment, you may even doubt our ability, but Li Jin, even the brigade commander recognizes him.
Otherwise, do you think the brigade commander would allow a special operations battalion to have more than 1000 people? !This is the brigade commander training him,
If it weren't for Li Jin's lack of qualifications, he would have been promoted to regimental commander by the brigade commander. "Counsel Zhong said.

If he didn't regard Zhao Gang as one of his own, others would doubt him as much as they wanted, and he wouldn't bother to explain to others.

Zhao Gang was a little dumbfounded after hearing this. Li Jin was only 23 years old, but he could get such attention from the brigade commander and even focus on training him.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Old Zhong, go and send the information about the Beishan Mine to Li Jin so that he can bring his troops back." Li Yunlong looked at Staff Officer Zhong and said.

As for Zhao Gang's doubts about the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion, he would not say more. No matter how much he said, it would be more convincing than letting Zhao Gang see it with his own eyes.

"Yes!" Staff Officer Zhong stood up and left, going to the communications room to have someone send a telegram to Li Jin.

.........

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Liujia Village.

In the past two days, Li Jin has been paying close attention to the mental health of the recruits. There are still some recruits who have psychological problems and fall into self-doubt.

But because they were discovered in time, they were given psychological counseling immediately and no problems arose.

"Battal Commander, there's a telegram from the regimental commander. It's about the Beishan Mine." Xu Qingfeng came to Li Jin's residence and found Li Jin.

"This speed is not bad. You should quickly send someone to notify other company commanders to gather their troops. We are ready to set off and return to the new regiment." Li Jin received the telegram and said.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng turned and left.

Li Jin frowned slightly as he read the contents of the telegram. He did not expect that the Japanese would send so many people to guard the Yuanhe Bridge. This did not occur to him.

I thought that if the number of people at Yuanhe Bridge was the same as before, then his target would be the reinforcements from Guyuan County in addition to the Beishan Mine.

Now it seems that the idea of ​​​​eliminating the reinforcements in Guyuan County can only be put aside for now. In any case, the purpose is to rescue the people in the mine, not to eliminate so many Japanese.

"Battal Commander, the plan needs to change. There are many Japs who can support the Beishan Mine." Xu Qingfeng said, he knew Li Jin's purpose.

But now the intelligence collected by the new regiment is obviously different from what was expected. Therefore, Guyuan County's reinforcements can only be put aside for the time being and focus on rescuing the people in the Beishan Mine.

"Well, although the reinforcements from Guyuan County cannot be eliminated, it is still possible to eliminate the other Japanese devils." Li Jin nodded and said.

If they forcefully think about destroying the reinforcements from Guyuan County, it will put the new regiment in danger.

"Now it seems that this is the only way." Xu Qingfeng said.

.........

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, all the soldiers from each company gathered and came to Liujiacun. Li Jin also hesitated and led them directly to the new regiment.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, after a day's journey, Li Jin asked the soldiers to rest where they were and asked people to be on guard.

The soldiers took out the prepared cans and began to eat. After traveling for such a long time, they were also hungry.

"Squad leader, what mission are we going to perform this time?!" A recruit came to sit next to the squad leader and asked.

He still doesn't know what mission he is going to perform.

"I don't know either." The squad leader shook his head, he didn't know about this either.

"Ah?! No, even the squad leader doesn't know what mission he is going to perform?!" The recruit was stunned, he thought the squad leader would know.

"Although I don't know what mission we are going to perform, the direction we are going is back to the New Regiment. It should be that the battalion commander wants to cooperate with the New Regiment to fight the Japanese.

Otherwise, the brigade commander would have transferred us back. "The squad leader said.

The direction they are going now is to the New Regiment, so the battalion commander will either take them to cooperate with the New Regiment to fight the Japanese, or go back to live.

"However, the latter may not be very big." The squad leader added.

"Why?!" the recruit asked.

"Because the battalion commander left some people to guard the base, it is impossible for the brigade commander to call us back. The battalion commander will not abandon his own people and leave first," the squad leader said.

In a situation like this where a large force is assembled, the battalion commander will definitely bring everyone with him.

Besides, the base area they established also needed someone to take over, but no one came until they set off. Soldiers from the special operations battalion were still guarding the base area, so the possibility of the latter was very small. "So that's it. Is the new regiment good?" The recruit nodded and asked about the new regiment again.

"Of course, apart from our special operations battalion, the New Regiment is the strongest regiment in the Eighth Route Army. Do you think it's awesome?!" The squad leader said this with some pride.

"Well, great."

"Besides, Xinyi Tuan is our hometown, and we were originally under the control of Xinyi Tuan." The squad leader added a few more words.

"Then why is it under the control of the brigade headquarters?!"

"Because we are too strong, the brigade commander took us out of the new regiment and put us under the jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters. Other companies cannot do this.

So you know how powerful our battalion commander is. "The squad leader said proudly. If it weren't for the battalion commander, he would still be a soldier now.

"The battalion commander is awesome!" The recruit couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

He knew that the battalion commander was very powerful, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful. Even the brigade commander valued the battalion commander.

"Okay, okay, don't ask so many questions and just go to bed after eating." The squad leader didn't say much. He finished the canned meat in a few seconds and got up to go on inspection.

…………

Four days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jin led the soldiers of the special operations battalion to a location less than three miles away from the headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment.

After the two Eighth Route Army soldiers on guard at this position saw them, one of the veterans recognized Li Jin in front.

"Hurry and inform the regiment commander that Captain Li and the others are coming." The veteran immediately ordered the recruits.

"Yes!" Although the recruit didn't know Battalion Commander Li, he only needed to convey the message to the regiment leader.

"Captain Li, long time no see." The veteran stepped forward and greeted with a smile on his face.

"It's not too long." Li Jin smiled.

"More than ten days is indeed not long." The veteran also smiled.

"Are you planning to do something big when you come back this time?!" The veteran asked mysteriously. He was sure that the special operations battalion was planning to do something big when they came back this time.

"You'll know then." Li Jin said with a smile. The attack on the Beishan Mine cannot be made known to too many people yet, so as not to leak the news.

"Okay, but you've recruited too many soldiers, haven't you?" The veteran didn't ask any more questions. He turned to look at the soldiers behind Li Jin. There were many unfamiliar faces among them, all of them were young and had a lot of evil energy about them. Heavy, obviously he has killed someone.

"It's not too many. It hasn't reached the number of conscripts given by the brigade commander. I have to go see the regiment commander first. You can continue to stand guard." Li Jin said, and he led the soldiers to the regiment headquarters.

The veteran looked at the soldiers passing by and fell into deep thought for a moment. The special operations battalion must have recruited 1000 soldiers. It has not yet reached the recruitment index given by the brigade commander. How many people should Li Jin recruit? !
.........

At this time, in the conference room of the regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were still studying the map.

"Captain, Captain Li is back." The recruit ran in to report.

"This guy Li Jin has finally arrived." Li Yunlong smiled after waiting for so long.

"Old Zhao, let's go. I'll take you to the entrance of the village to see Li Jin's soldiers." Li Yunlong took the lead and walked outside.

Zhao Gang also hurriedly followed. He also wanted to see the legendary Li Jin as soon as possible.

Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian looked at each other, smiled at each other, and quickly followed. They also wanted to see how well Li Jin's recruits were training.

The four of them arrived at the entrance of the village. After waiting for less than a minute, they saw a troop appearing from the corner of the mountain in the distance. The leaders were Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng.

"Old Zhao, the two at the front, the one on the left is Li Jin, and the one on the right is Xu Qingfeng, the instructor and deputy battalion commander of the special operations battalion." Li Yunlong introduced.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Jin who was coming over. He was not as strong as he thought.

"Hiss... This boy, these soldiers are well trained. They all have murderous intent in their eyes." Deputy Captain Qian looked at the new soldiers and took a breath.

"Of course, it's only natural that Li Jin can train the recruits to this point." Staff Officer Zhong said.

It seems that this attack on Beishan Mine will kill a lot of Japanese.

When Li Jin saw Zhao Gang next to Li Yunlong, his steps slowed down.

"Isn't that Zhao Gang?! Why did he come to the new group so quickly?!" Li Jin thought to himself.

If I remember correctly, Zhao Gang was sent to the Independent Regiment as a political commissar not long after Li Yunlong was dismissed from his post and went to the Independent Regiment. Why did he come to the new Regiment?

Probably because of him, some things had changed invisibly, but Li Yunlong still met the person he was supposed to meet.

"I don't recognize the person next to the regiment leader. Could he be the new political commissar of the new regiment?!" Xu Qingfeng said next to him. He also saw that Zhao Gang next to Li Yunlong looked unfamiliar.

But judging from the positions of several people, that person's identity should not be simple.

"Well, nine times out of ten, yes." Li Jin nodded. He didn't say it was definitely the political commissar, otherwise it would have seemed a bit strange.

Soon, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng came to Li Yunlong.

"Captain, deputy commander, chief of staff!" Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng saluted the three of them.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the new regiment." Li Yunlong directly introduced Zhao Gang to Li Jin.

"Hello, political commissar Zhao." Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng saluted Zhao Gang, and the latter saluted back.

"Hello, I heard a lot about you from the regimental commander. I didn't expect that being famous is not as good as meeting you. You are indeed awesome and have strong training skills." Zhao Gang praised Li Jinlai. In terms of human relations, Zhao Gang still has a few things to do.

"The political commissar deserves the reward." Li Jin said modestly. He almost wanted to praise Zhao Gang for being more powerful and coming from a major anti-Japanese force, but luckily he held back.

"Li Jin, this political commissar Zhao is not a weak scholar. He used to kill the Japs with a machine gun from a distance of more than 300 meters at night. His shooting skills are very accurate!" Li Yunlong praised Zhao Gang in front of Li Jin.

"The political commissar is worthy of being a political commissar, both civil and military." Li Jin also praised after hearing this. No wonder Li Yunlong seems to have a good relationship with Zhao Gang at present, and Zhao Gang showed his love to Li Yunlong.

"Luck, just luck." Zhao Gang said with a smile. This Li Jin was more approachable than he thought. At least he seemed to have a much better temper than Li Yunlong.

He is capable but not arrogant. No wonder the brigade commander attaches so much importance to him. Not only does the opponent know how to train and fight, but he is also very good at dealing with people.

He can also somewhat understand why the brigade commander and Li Yunlong like Li Jin very much. Let alone them, he has a very good impression of Li Jin.
