Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

If all those who are suitable for their age are taken away, then only the old, weak, women and children will be left in the village, so there must be a limit.

"Look at the number of people in a village, and then make plans for how many people to recruit." Li Jin also agreed with Xu Qingfeng's view.

"However, it is a little early to discuss these now. Let's train the new recruits first." Li Jin continued.

There are currently 2,000 people in the special operations battalion, and more than 4,700 of them are new recruits. They have not yet entered formal training, and it can be said that they have no combat effectiveness.

Li Jin did not plan to recruit troops so soon before these recruits had no combat effectiveness.

"Yeah." Everyone nodded.

"Battal Commander, then there is the issue of how to attract the attention of the Japs. To attract the Japs, our combat range must be very large.

Let the Japanese think that there is a powerful and large force in Taiyuan that has been targeting them.

As long as they don't get rid of us, their bunkers, checkpoints, and railway supply depots will never have a good life. "Xu Qingfeng directly told the situation of the battle.

"What you said is right. We need to make the Japanese feel that we are very difficult, so that they have to send people from other places to deal with us.

In this way, the pressure on other base areas will also weaken, thereby gaining opportunities for development.

However, what we can do is initially limited. After all, we still have too few personnel.

Moreover, the combat position we choose must also be conducted in a direction that avoids the presence of our own people. "Li Jin nodded and said.

If we take action without avoiding our own people, then the Japanese will attack our own people when the time comes.

In this way, if you talk about allowing other base areas to develop, this means that the Japanese will sweep them away, and the brigade commander must kill him.

Therefore, when fighting, you still need to proceed with caution.

"I think it's better to lure them to the Jinsui Army. Anyway, they haven't done anything recently. They don't have any wars to fight. It's just like recuperating and finding some devils for them to fight." Xu Qingfeng said that he couldn't bear it anymore. Couldn't help but be happy.

To be honest, he didn't have a good impression of the Jinsui Army. Although he had been fighting the Japanese before, since Taiyuan was lost, the Jinsui Army had become silent.

There was no big battle, but the city was lost. When some of the city-defending officers heard that the Japs were coming, they ran away with their soldiers without even firing a shot, handing over the county town to the Japs.

"This is not good." Li Jin fell into deep thought. After all, they were friendly forces, so it didn't feel right to lead the Japanese to their side.

"I think it's okay. We fight under their banner, so the credit goes to them. When the time comes, they will get rewards and we will get supplies.

Then it would be reasonable if they help us share the pressure of the Japanese. "Xu Qingfeng continued.

The credit for their fight against the Japanese goes to the Jinsui Army, but the supplies for fighting the Japanese are on their side, which is also conducive to development.

At the same time, it also allows other base areas to breathe, so why not do it.

"That's okay. Moreover, under their banner, the Japanese will not suspect that we are troops from the Eighth Route Army, and everything will be reasonable." Li Jin said.

Compared with them, the Japanese believe that the Jinsui Army has created a more powerful force to cause trouble for the Japanese.

"Yes, we haven't officially appeared in front of others yet. It would be bad if the national army knew that our army has developed so fast in this short period of time." Xu Qingfeng said.

Their current existence is not suitable for others to know, and they can only do it under the guise of others.

"Then let's do it like this. I remember the style of military uniforms from the Jinsui Army. I will draw them when the time comes. You go find someone to buy the cloth and then make their uniforms." Li Jin said.

Now that you have decided to do this, then do it more realistically and don't give the Japanese a chance to get suspicious.

"No problem!" Xu Qingfeng nodded and said.

"Now let's talk about the scope of the battle. We will fight against the Japanese as far as possible in the direction of the Jinsui Army. Then, other cities near Taiyuan, including some large counties there, will be included in the scope.

The Japanese have probably started to take action now and are targeting us, so we need to act quickly.

Delay the devil's plan as much as possible, or in other words, let other devils be mobilized to target us as much as possible. "Li Jin continued.

It is now early April. The Japanese should have designated the prototype of the prison policy in March, building railways, roads, bunkers and checkpoints in several provinces in North China.

The Japanese used the railway as a pillar, the highway as a line, and the bunkers as nails to formulate a prison plan.

Therefore, they are still under a lot of pressure in this area because Li Jin still has too few people to mobilize.

It will take at least more than two months for those new recruits to have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the scope of the initial operation should not be too large, but should be gradually expanded.

Because the range is too large, if something unexpected happens to their troops and they are surrounded by a large army of Japanese soldiers, others may not be able to provide quick support, resulting in heavy casualties. This is not what Li Jin wants to see.

"We need to divide our forces for operations. I suggest that we divide our forces into seven teams to carry out operations at the company level. Each company operates at the platoon level.

The combat range between companies should not exceed twenty miles.

Once there is action, have someone notify the adjacent company. If no one comes back to report the situation within the specified time,

Then something might have happened, and other neighboring companies should go over to provide support as soon as possible. "Xu Qingfeng said slowly.

In this way, when they fight, their safety will be somewhat guaranteed, no matter what it is

"Yeah, okay." Li Jin nodded.

"Battal Commander, we have nine companies, why are we divided into seven companies? Should our reconnaissance company and sharpshooting company be broken up?!" Lu Changgong said at this time.

According to the deputy battalion commander, their reconnaissance company and sharpshooter company were not included in the combat plan.

"You two companies are wandering around. While looking for trouble for the Japanese, you must always remember to support other companies. In short, you two companies are supporting everywhere." Li Jin said.

This is what Xu Qingfeng probably meant.

The reconnaissance company and the sharpshooting company have very strong combat capabilities. They have two companies that are responsible for roaming support. Once an accident occurs to other companies, they can quickly support them, and they may even cooperate to create a counter-encirclement for the Japanese.

"So that's it, then it's okay. I thought we wouldn't be involved in this operation." Lu Changgong looked relieved.

It would be a shame if they couldn't participate in such a big move.

"Damn it, if you want to be lazy, that's a good idea." Li Jin joked. He naturally knew that Lu Changgong was worried about not being able to participate in the battle.

The combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooter company was so strong that Li Jin would not let them sit around and naturally sent them out to fight.

As for this mission, because the troops need to be divided, the security problem is more serious. Only the reconnaissance company and the sharpshooting company can serve as roaming support, which also makes Li Jin feel more at ease.

"So, you company commanders must remember this. Before the battle, you must make a good battle plan for me. Once you notice something is wrong, you must give up the battle and evacuate.

Don't see the problem but don't take it seriously. You must remember that as a commander, every wrong decision you make may cost the soldiers their lives!

Don't let the soldiers pay for your mistakes, do you understand? ! Li Jin said with a serious face.

If there were casualties during the battle, there would be no problem, but if the soldiers were killed or injured due to the commander's command errors, that would be unacceptable to Li Jin.

"Understood!" Everyone responded loudly.

"Wait a minute, battalion commander, aren't you going to take part in the command this time?!" Liu Changshun said.

"Now that the troops are divided, how can I command everyone? I can't separate myself and can only command a small army to fight.

Your Deputy Battalion Commander Xu will be like me, commanding a small unit. I will establish two contact points.

Once there is a problem, go to the contact point to report to me or Lao Xu immediately, so that other companies can be quickly notified for support. "Li Jin said.

In this way, it is also a faster way to provide support. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome for the soldiers to notify each company one by one.

"Of course, every time you go to a position, you must send someone to inform me in advance. If there is any problem, I can immediately notify other companies to support you, you know." Li Jin continued.

If even he, the commander, doesn't know the specific location of the troops, how can he provide support at that time?

"Got it!" Everyone nodded.

"Companies 1 to 4 are under my control. Companies 5 to 7 are under the control of your deputy battalion commander. As for the reconnaissance company and sharpshooter company, you are responsible for it.

In short, don't stay in the same place all the time and go to other companies' positions to provide support, do you understand? ! "Li Jin said.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

Then Li Jin began to allocate the combat positions of several companies at that time. It was necessary for several companies to form a triangle with each other. If one party had a problem, the other two parties could quickly provide support.

Moreover, companies can also engage in coordinated operations. Once they feel that there are too many combat targets, they can notify other companies to come over and cooperate.

This is how to complete the task as quickly as possible.

"You must remember to cooperate more and don't force yourself. When you feel unsure, just give up the fight and wait for others to come and act together.

If anyone acts randomly and causes heavy casualties to the troops, I will recognize you, but my gun will not recognize you! "Li Jin's voice became louder and more majestic as he spoke.

He emphasized again that when sending several company commanders to fight, they must think clearly and don't go into battle blindly.

"Don't worry, battalion commander! If this happens to any of us, we don't need the battalion commander to come, we can solve it ourselves without dirtying the battalion commander's hands!" Liu Changshun said directly.

"That's right!" Others also agreed. If they made a mistake in command and caused heavy casualties to the soldiers below, they would not be able to see the battalion commander.

"Okay! Remember what you said!" Li Jin said.

"The meeting will be held here for now. You can go back to the base first and tell the officers below about the content of this meeting." Li Jin waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

Everyone stood up and left. After Liu Changshun walked out of the conference room, he fell into deep thought for a while and then came back.

"Um, let me use the battalion commander's conference room." Liu Changshun said.

"You can use it if you want without telling me." Li Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he left the conference room with Xu Qingfeng.

Liu Changshun then went to ask someone to come to the conference room for a meeting.

"Actually, you are not too worried about this operation." Xu Qingfeng said as he walked.

Li Jin repeatedly emphasized that several company commanders should think carefully before fighting, because they were worried that if they made a mistake in command, many soldiers would die.

"Yes, even though I have fought many battles with them, I still feel uneasy." Li Jin said with emotion.

"You are like their big brother. In the previous battles, every plan was personally arranged so that they could act according to the plan.

They fought many battles. Under your leadership, we never lost.

You are now afraid that something will go wrong. Now, you have just arranged a general plan for them. The specific plan can only be made by themselves, so you are worried that something will happen.

But they have to take command after all. They are not fools and their abilities are not weak. They have learned a lot after following you for so long.

So, don't worry too much, I believe they can complete the task well. "Xu Qingfeng said.

Xu Qingfeng knew that Li Jin was still a little uneasy, because this could be said to be the first time that the special operations battalion did not rely on Li Jin to make specific plans.

Li Jin only gave them a prototype of how to complete the plan, and let them decide the rest, how to fight and how to fight.

"If you are worried, I will call them all back now. Forget about dividing the troops, you will continue to have full command!" Xu Qingfeng said directly.

"Forget it, you're right, I can't take care of them all my life, otherwise, I wouldn't agree with you about dividing the troops," Li Jin said.

He also deeply understands this. In many cases, they still need to be allowed to direct specific operations themselves, so that they can grow up.

"You already think so, so don't have other ideas. In short, the plan is set, so don't worry too much!

Don't act like an old mother. You don't care if the child is cold, hot, or pooping or peeing. Xu Qingfeng joked.

Li Jin was speechless for a moment, why did he become a mother-in-law? He was worried that something would happen to them.

"However, this mission is indeed very important. If you are really worried about something going wrong, you can indeed take full command. They haven't gone far yet, so you can ask them to come back." Xu Qingfeng changed the subject.

Attracting the Japs' attention was an important task. If Li Jin was afraid of an accident, he could choose not to divide the troops and take full command himself to avoid any accidents.
