Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Liu Hexuan was worried that Li Jin would come over and point fingers and affect their work.

"Don't worry about this. I'm only responsible for fighting. You have the final say on technical matters." Li Jin said, he is not the kind of person who likes to interfere in everything.

"However, sometimes I may make some suggestions. If you think it works, then try it. If it doesn't, forget it." Li Jin said.

"Okay." Liu Hexuan nodded. After all, Li Jin is the person in charge of the arsenal, so it is normal for him to give some opinions.

"Then it's settled, I hope we can cooperate well." Li Jin said and stretched out his hand towards Liu Hexuan.

"Yes." Liu Hexuan nodded and shook hands with Li Jin.

"The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander sent a telegram saying that the base area has almost been established." At this time, the telegraph operator came over to report.

"The progress is a lot faster." Li Jin nodded with satisfaction. Sure enough, there was strength in numbers, and it was right to send the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooting company to help.

Otherwise, relying solely on Xu Qingfeng's side, it would probably take a few days for the base area to be established.

"Go and send a telegram back to the deputy battalion commander, saying that I've got it done here and are rushing back now," Li Jin said.

"Yes!" The telegraph operator turned around to send a telegram.

"Battal Commander, I hear what you are saying, your base area has not been established yet?!" Liu Hexuan asked confused, what is going on? ! If we haven't established a good base, we need to build an arsenal? ! Then if they pass, they won't have to waste a lot of time to study the use of machine tools, right? !

"Now we have a base area, but this base area is not suitable for my future tasks, so I re-established a base area in the mountains." Li Jin said.

He will do a lot of things for the Japanese in the future. In order not to harm the people in the base area, he can only re-establish the base area.

"What mission?!" Liu Hexuan asked doubtfully. It was not good to leave the masses to build a new base area.

Li Jin hesitated for a moment, but Liu Hexuan was also one of his own, so he couldn't say anything.

"If it's inconvenient, you don't have to say anything." Liu Hexuan saw Li Jin's dilemma and said quickly. He also felt that he had asked too many questions.

Li Jin is in charge of war matters. As a technician, he is really not suitable to ask these things.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the brigade commander asked me to do more things for the Japanese over there, so as to draw the Japanese's attention to us as much as possible.

Give other base areas the opportunity to develop. Recently, the Japanese have been a little wary of us, so they will suppress the base areas of our troops and not allow us to develop. "Li Jin said.

They have done a lot of things recently, which has pissed off the Japanese. First, it was the Beishan Mine, and then the Hengshi Mine. They were involved in both mines.

Especially the Hengshi Mine destroyed the Japs' laboratory. Who wouldn't be angry?

"I see, so you were worried that the people would be implicated, so you chose to leave the original base, right?" Liu Hexuan was not a fool, and he immediately understood the key.

"That's why we need to establish a new base area." Li Jin said. If he did the task himself, he would have to flee with the people in the base area. That was not what he wanted to see.

"This mission is not easy to accomplish. Basically, you have to provoke all the Japs in Taiyuan and ask them to bring back a lot of troops to guard against you.

It is even very likely that heavy troops will be sent to surround you, which is not a good situation. Liu Hexuan said.

In his opinion, this task is almost impossible to accomplish. After all, the special operations battalion only has 2,000 people. It is not easy to accomplish things on a large scale.

But the brigade commander handed over this task to the special operations battalion. Did he believe that the special operations battalion could accomplish this task?

"This is my mission, to let the Japanese draw their attention to me, thereby reducing the pressure on other base areas and giving them time to develop." Li Jin said slowly.

It is his task to reduce the pressure on other base areas, and it is enough to complete it. Moreover, this task does not require too much time, half a year is enough.

Li Jin felt that it was still difficult to delay for a long time. Besides, the brigade commander said that he could continue to develop the base area.

"But if this happens, won't your development stagnate?!" Liu Hexuan said.

Doing this task is not easy, and it takes a lot of time. The key is that it may not be possible, and on the contrary, the development of the special operations battalion will be slow.

"That's not the case. On the contrary, my development will be faster than other base areas." Li Jin said with a smile. The brigade commander didn't care how he did it, that is, he was given enough autonomy to use the captured materials on his own. Use it.

"Ah?! Are you kidding?!" Liu Hexuan was stunned. Li Jin was tired of fighting, so how could he still have time to develop? !

"I never joke. If it were other troops, I might not be able to do it, but the development of a special operations company is based on fighting to support fighting.

Otherwise, how could the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion be so strong? "Li Jin said.

The development of the special operations battalion has always been focused on fighting Japanese invaders and developing rapidly by seizing various supplies.

The key is that they have strong fighting power. After each battle, they only need a short rest to continue fighting.

Other troops are different. They will sacrifice many soldiers in a battle and need to rest for a long time. Just like the new regiment with such strong combat effectiveness, if they fight a big battle, they will also need to rest for a long time to recover.

As a result, they will not be able to develop if they continue to fight. Therefore, the previous new regiments all made a big move, grabbed enough supplies, and rested for a long time before thinking about continuing to fight.

"I don't quite understand, but since the brigade commander believes in you, you must be something special." Liu Hexuan shook his head and said immediately.

Although everything Li Jin said seemed like bragging, he had to believe it because the brigade commander trusted Li Jin.

The brigade commander was a big shot, and he rarely made mistakes when he judged people.

"You will know later, but after you go there, you will most likely be doing research in the arsenal, and you will not interfere with military matters." Li Jin said with a smile.

Liu Hexuan was different from them. He might have fought with the army before, but after entering the arsenal, he basically studied weapons. It was just that he lacked a lot of things at that time, and there was not much material.

Many good ideas cannot be put into practice, because if they fail, it means losing a lot of materials, which they cannot accept.

However, this project of scientific research requires the courage to try and constantly learn from failures in order to do better. It is not that simple to succeed just once.

The research of our ancestors failed many times before finally succeeding.

The conditions at that time were equally difficult, so difficult that it required a nationwide effort to conduct research.

"That's right. Anyway, I just need to take care of my own business. If I can make a new gun, I can leave my name in history." Liu Hexuan said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you can definitely do it. I believe you can do it." Li Jin smiled.

"That is, speaking of it, I actually went to the arsenal at the headquarters before and talked with the technical staff there. They have actually done research on new guns and even have drawings, but they still need constant improvement. ,

I guess the brigade commander will ask the boss to transfer the technical staff from the headquarters to study together. Liu Hexuan said.

They often go to the headquarters to communicate with the technical staff at the headquarters to study the manufacture of new guns. They need to be easy to use, powerful, and cheap to make.

As for the last point, there is really no way, but the current research is much better than before.

I heard that the headquarters is purchasing materials from overseas. If they can successfully transport them back, the research will be much better.

"Well, it seems that the new gun may appear soon." Li Jin nodded and said. If he guessed correctly, the technicians at the headquarters arsenal were studying the Type 81 horse rifle.

Now that they have machine tools, maybe this gun can appear earlier. Moreover, they have machine tools and metal smelting technology.

They can produce some of the scarce materials in the past. By then, the production of Type 81 horse rifles will not be as low as a few thousand in a few years.

"I think so too. The arrival of the machine tool is just in time." Liu Hexuan said with emotion.

In the past, they all dreamed of having a machine tool of their own, but this thing is really too precious. The key is that it is difficult to buy it. Everyone knows what you want to do with the machine tool.

Even if others can sell it, they will only sell some old machine tools with problems, not good ones. The key is, even if they can't get old machine tools, they can't transport them in.

"Well, the future development will be better." Li Jin said, he always believed that their development will get better and better.

Just like the current New Regiment, which has grown to three to four thousand people in just over a year, it is very important that all the soldiers have combat experience.

Although there is still a lot of pressure for the New Group to fight against a group of Japs, even if they are not opponents, it is impossible for the opponent to destroy the New Group.

To be able to do that is amazing.

If it comes in the next few years, the current new regiment might be able to eat up a whole regiment of Japs. After all, the Japs in the later period are no longer capable of fighting, and the soldiers are all recruited to the age of thirteen or fourteen.

Of course, they were not too good either. All the child soldiers were there. I still remember that there was a regiment of soldiers, most of which were child soldiers between the ages of eighty-nine and thirteen or fourteen. Many of them sacrificed their lives to fight the enemy.

This generation is devoting their lives to protecting the country.

They were not afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice, and laid a solid foundation for China's future prosperity.

"The battalion commander and deputy battalion commander replied, saying that they understand and they will return to the base in a few days." The telegraph operator came over again to report.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded.

.........

Three days later, around three in the afternoon.

Xu Qingfeng came back with most of the soldiers. As for the base area, he left a small number of people to guard there.

"Deputy battalion commander, has the base area been established?!" Liu Changshun returned to the military camp as soon as he heard the news and found someone in Xu Qingfeng's room.

"Well, basically it's almost done." Xu Qingfeng nodded and said.

Because of the addition of the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooting company, the base area was established quite quickly, a few days earlier than expected.

"The battalion commander has returned to the brigade headquarters. He should be on his way back now." Liu Changshun guessed that a few days have passed and it should be almost time.

"He is already on his way back. I sent him a telegram three days ago and he told me." Xu Qingfeng said.

"The relationship is good, but I don't know if Lavky has sent a machine tool. If our arsenal has a machine tool, maybe we can make a gun." Liu Changshun said with a smile.

"What are you thinking about? Even if Lavky sent the machine tools, they would be kept at the brigade headquarters or sent to the headquarters. How could the brigade commander let a new arsenal that has not yet been built use machine tools." Xu Qingfeng said helplessly.

Of course, it would be more appropriate for something as important as a machine tool to be left at the brigade or headquarters. After all, there are many technical personnel in the arsenals of the brigade and headquarters.

It was basically impossible for their newly built arsenal, the special operations camp, to have machine tools. If it were him, he wouldn't do it.

"I'm just saying that if that Ravki sends over a few more machine tools, the brigade commander will let us use them as soon as he is happy." Liu Changshun said with a smile.

I still have the idea, just in case it comes true.

Xu Qingfeng shook his head, feeling that the possibility was not very high.

"By the way, how is the recent training of the recruits?!" Xu Qingfeng asked. Those recruits have been taking care of themselves for a long time, and they should start practicing their military posture now.

"It's all in planned training, almost done." Liu Changshun nodded and said. He started training new recruits five days ago. He didn't dare to be lazy, otherwise the battalion commander would probably have to train him to death when he came back and found out about the situation.

"That's okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction. Now he will wait for Li Jin to come back, and then hand over the base area to Wu Meng, so that they can move to the new base area.

"By the way, didn't you say there are two surgeons? Take me to meet them." Xu Qingfeng said, but he had not forgotten what Li Jin said about picking up two surgeons.

The hospital has been built, but what is missing is the doctor.

"Okay, I'll take you to where they live." Liu Changshun nodded, turned and left.

Xu Qingfeng followed and said, "How are their accommodation arrangements?! They won't be allowed to live with the soldiers, right?!"

That's a doctor, so he deserves some preferential treatment. Although they don't like to be special, the soldiers won't say anything if they know it.

On the contrary, if the soldiers know that the doctor's accommodation is not good, they will come over to give advice. This will be able to save their lives in the future, and they cannot let others live in a bad place.

"Don't worry, deputy battalion commander, the single rooms I arranged for them are not for them to live with the soldiers." Liu Changshun said, this was also the battalion commander's order.

"That's not bad. I heard from the battalion commander that they are a couple with a child?!" Xu Qingfeng continued.

"Yes, they are a family. I heard from Lu Changgong that they were being chased by the Japanese at that time, and they happened to be rescued by them. Fortunately, they got there in time." Liu Changshun then told Xu Qingfeng everything he knew. .
