Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Outside the watchtower, Liu Changshun and the others heard the explosion of grenades, and immediately understood that Zhang Fajia and the others had taken action.

Liu Changshun immediately took people into the watchtower and asked people to carefully check the first floor to make sure there were no living Japanese on the first floor.

"Company commander, basically kill all the Japs in the entire watchtower!" Zhang Fajia went downstairs at this time and came to Liu Changshun and the others and said.

"Well, good job. Hurry, move all the Japanese supplies away." Liu Changshun ordered the soldiers to clean the battlefield.

"Xiao Zhang, take someone to put a few more shots on the corpse of the Japanese who died outside the watchtower." Liu Changshun did not forget what Li Jin told him.

There is no need to mend the Japs in the watchtowers, there is no need, but the Japs outside the watchtowers do.

"Understood!" Zhang Fajia nodded and immediately led people to execute it.

Five or six minutes later, Liu Changshun ordered a retreat.

In addition to Liu Changshun's side, the progress was smooth, and so were the other companies. They annihilated all the Japanese at the checkpoints, watchtowers, and some checkpoints.

.........

At about ten o'clock the next morning, Li Jin looked at the map pinned on the blackboard in the headquarters, which marked the approximate locations of the four companies.

The combat range of their four companies reached seventy or eighty miles, and with the addition of several other companies, the combat range reached nearly two hundred miles.

There were a lot of Japanese soldiers summarized in it. Except for the county town, which was not within the attack range, other strongholds, watchtowers, checkpoints, and some bridges and railways were all included in the combat range by Li Jin.

If the people on the national army side knew that a mere thousand people dared to draw such a large combat area, they would probably be shocked.

"Batalion Commander, it's time to eat." At this time, Tian Xiaoqi came in with a bowl of broth, a few eggs and canned food.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, sat at the table, started eating and left.

"Battal Commander, the progress of other companies should also go smoothly." Tian Xiaoqi said while eating white-flour steamed buns in his hand.

The number of people on their side was relatively small, and they only solved one checkpoint. If there were more people, the battalion commander would probably kill more Japanese.

"We don't know the situation yet. Let's wait until they send someone over to report the situation." Li Jin said, but he did not dare to be too absolute.

"Battal Commander, if we complete the mission, why don't we do something big?!" Tian Xiaoqi said.

"Make it big, how do you want to make it big?!" Li Jin suddenly said happily, but he didn't expect that this kid Tian Xiaoqi actually learned his essence.

"Build Taiyuan Airport, blow up all the planes in Taiyuan, and kill all those Japanese pilots. I'll let them fly!" Tian Xiaoqi said through gritted teeth.

He became angry when he remembered that the Japanese had been surrounded by the Japanese in the mountains and that the Japanese had sent so many planes to blow them up.

"Okay, when the mission is completed, we will build a big one! We will blow up the Taiyuan Airport and then bombard the Japanese army camp in Taiyuan." Li Jin said directly after hearing this.

If he completes the task, he really plans to do this.

He doesn't have the ability to defeat Taiyuan, but for an airport, it's not impossible.

After the new recruits have been trained and participated in the mission, they will think carefully about how to blow up the Taiyuan Airport.

Compared with the small airport that was blown up in Wuhan before, there are more planes here in Taiyuan. If he really succeeded, the Japanese commander here would probably have a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.

He just likes to cause trouble for the Japanese.

"Battal Commander, can you fly a plane?! How about we lay down the airport and fly two planes?!" Tian Xiaoqi thought of a better idea.

It would be very unpleasant to drive away the plane and then blow up the little devils.

"It will happen, but the battle will be at night. If you fly this crappy plane at night, you want me to die and inherit my inheritance." Li Jin joked.

Although he has the skill to fly a plane, he has never actually flown it before. Moreover, he is still flying a plane of this period at night, which is prone to accidents. He does not want to die young.

"Um...that's not what I meant. Since we can't fly at night, let's forget it." Tian Xiaoqi was stunned and quickly explained. He really didn't know that flying a Japanese plane at night would cause a crash.

"Don't worry, it's just a plane. Maybe we can build it ourselves in the future and don't need to use the kid's plane." Li Jin said, he really looked down on the kid's plane.

"emnn...it will be a long time before we can build an airplane. Will the Japanese be able to hold on until we can build an airplane?" Tian Xiaoqi said.

According to what the battalion commander said before, the front line behind the Japanese will get longer and longer, and in a few years, they will definitely be unable to withstand it and collapse. By then, they probably won't even have a plane.

"It's still possible, just take your time and don't rush." ​​Li Jin said, if the arsenal progresses faster and buys back the oil, there is still hope to build the aircraft within four to five years.

Before the Japanese surrendered, they had just enough time to use their own plane to blow up the little Japanese.

"Battal Commander, since you know how to fly a plane, why don't you teach us how to do it? When the time comes, I will also fly a plane into the sky to blow up the little Japs." Tian Xiaoqi was a little eager to try.

Although there is no plane for him to fly now, there might be one in the future. When the time comes, he will be able to fly the plane into the sky, which is quite enjoyable just thinking about it.

"This is not impossible, but this plane is not that easy to fly. You still need to learn more. You must pass the theoretical operation. There are still many things to teach. Let's talk about it later when we have the opportunity." Li Jin said.

He has never even flown a real airplane, so it is not appropriate for him to teach others. It is better to wait until he has flown and gained actual combat experience.

"Okay." Tian Xiaoqi nodded, and he was already looking forward to it. If he hadn't joined the army, he wouldn't have known what a plane was, let alone wanted to fly it.

The two of them finished the food quickly.

"Battal Commander, the First Company has sent people over." At this time, a soldier came in and said.

"The action is pretty quick, let him in." Li Jin said, Liu Changshun's combat range was relatively close to his.

"Batalion Commander!" The soldiers sent by the company immediately saluted Li Jin after they came in.

"Sit down, how was the battle last night?!" Li Jin motioned for the other party to sit down, and then said.

"Our company laid down two watchtowers and three checkpoints last night, annihilating more than 120 Japanese soldiers and more than 170 puppet troops." The soldier took out a battle report and handed it to Li Jin.

"What are the casualties in the company?!" Li Jin asked. Li Jin expected to be able to annihilate so many Japanese, but he just didn't know what the casualties were in the company.

"Eight people were slightly injured, none were seriously injured, and none were killed," the soldier replied. "Where did the slightly injured people get injured?!" Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"The Japanese watchtowers are still a bit difficult to fight. These watchtowers are, after all, more difficult to fight than what we used to fight. The Japanese are very vigilant. There are even a few Japanese guarding the top of the watchtowers, so we can only attack them directly. "said the warrior.

In the watchtowers they attacked before, there were no Japs standing on the roofs all the time. Instead, after a while, someone would go up to the roofs and use searchlights to check the surrounding situation.

"It seems that it was during the previous training that the Japs were on guard." Li Jin said. The locations where they were training were quite far away. Unexpectedly, the Japs here were still on guard.

Also, if he were the commander of the Japs and killed so many soldiers in just a few days, it would definitely alert the Japs soldiers in other places.

"I think so too, so it's normal for the Japanese to be wary." The soldier nodded.

Li Jin didn't speak, he frowned, why did he feel that this mission might not be so easy.

The previous troop training had already made the Japanese wary. Later, the Japanese might send more men to prevent them from making a sneak attack. They might even send people to wait for them to make a sneak attack, and then take the opportunity to surround them.

If that's the case, it doesn't seem impossible.

Now that the Japanese have made preparations, they will not be in a hurry for the next attack. They will wait for a few days and then move to other positions.

It's just the beginning, and the Japanese won't send too many people to guard against them. At this time, Li Jin just seizes the opportunity to kill more enemies.

The Japs must be beaten painfully, so that the Japs will send more people to take care of them, and the pressure on other base areas will be reduced accordingly.

Tian Xiaoqi was also waiting for Li Jin to speak, but he did not disturb Li Jin's thinking.

"No way, something will happen if you do this!" Li Jin said.

"Ah?! Something happened?!" Tian Xiaoqi was stunned, why didn't he understand what the battalion commander said.

"When you go back, remind your company commander to be careful of traps set by the Japanese." Li Jin said. He was worried that Liu Changshun would get involved if he thought he was good at it. If he was ambushed by the Japanese, it would be better to give him a warning.

"The Japanese will set a trap for us?!" the soldier asked.

"That kid Liu Changshun, are you planning to continue attacking the watchtowers you attacked in two days?!" Li Jin asked.

"Well, yes, the company commander felt that the Japanese would never think that we would fight a second time, so he decided to fight once." The soldier nodded.

Not to mention that the company commander thought so, he actually thought so too.

The Japs would not have thought that they would be so brave and dare to come a second time, so they took advantage of this opportunity to kill a few more Japs.

"Tell him not to continue fighting, either to wait a few days, or to fight in another place. Our training and operations in other places have already made the Japanese on guard, and this time, the Japanese will not be so stupid.

They may even send many people to ambush you, waiting for you to take action again, and then surround you! "Li Jin said.

Although the Japanese might not be able to send many people to surround Liu Changshun, if they were careless, there would be some casualties on Liu Changshun's side, and Li Jin didn't want to see that.

"Will the Japanese be so cautious?!" The soldier was stunned.

"Don't underestimate the Japs. Although they have always suffered in our hands, to others, the Japs are very powerful. Don't capsize in the gutter." Li Jin said seriously.

The constant victories have made the company commanders below feel a little swollen, making them feel that the Japanese are nothing at all and are being fooled around by them.

If they are careless, the consequences will be serious. Even if they break out of the ambush, there will definitely be casualties.

If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, problems will occur even if you are strong.

"I understand!" the soldier said, he will tell the company commander what happened!

Li Jin wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he decided not to say anything and let Liu Changshun think about it himself.

"Batalion Commander, I'll leave first." The soldier said and left.

"Batalion Commander, this is the first attack. Will the Japanese be so cautious?!" Tian Xiaoqi was also a little confused. Could the Battalion Commander be too cautious? !

"Whether it's possible or not, it's always good for us to be more cautious. Don't be blindly confident. If you want to be a qualified commander, you must take one step at a time and consider all situations in place.

Being prepared is more important than anything else. "Li Jin said seriously.

These company commanders below still need to grow up slowly. If they want to achieve higher achievements in the future, they must take a longer-term view.

"Battal Commander, why do I feel like you have something else to say just now, but why didn't you say it?!" Tian Xiaoqi asked. He felt that the battalion commander should have something to say to the soldiers sent by Company Commander Liu, but But he didn't continue.

"I can't always take you with me. There are some things that you need to think about by yourself. For example, if you know that the Japanese will ambush you, you can actually attack them and be prepared in advance.

Let the Japanese think that we have entered a trap. In fact, it is the Japanese who have entered the trap, so as to fight back. "Li Jin said.

The Japs can indeed set a trap for them, but there is one thing that the Japs would not have expected. Their fighting power is far more powerful than the Japs think.

Just like the watchtowers Liu Changshun attacked, if the Japanese set a trap, in order not to be discovered, they would definitely not ambush near the watchtowers, but would be farther away.

At this time, as long as the enemy's location and support routes are found in advance, a counterattack can be carried out.

First let people ambush on the support route, and then let people attack the watchtowers, so as to make the Japanese think that they have been fooled, so that the Japanese will rush to support them.

As everyone knows, this is all part of their plan, and the devil is the turtle in the urn!

"If you don't say anything, are you just letting Company Commander Liu think for himself?! But if you say no, more Japanese will be killed?!" Tian Xiaoqi was still a little confused.

"Didn't I say that they have to think for themselves? If I have to help them think about everything, what's the difference between me personally commanding them?!" Li Jin said.

He let the company commanders go to fight, just to let them command the troops to fight in order to achieve the purpose of growth.

He only needs to take charge of the overall situation and ensure that the company commanders will not make mistakes and will not cause heavy casualties to the troops. The rest, how to fight and how to designate a battle plan, are all up to them.

Tian Xiaoqi nodded. Although he didn't understand much about this, he was right to listen to the battalion commander. After all, he was the squad leader and just led his own squad.

"You kid, you need to learn more and do more, so that you can grow up. I chose you to follow me because I want you to learn more from me. Understand." Li Jin looked at Tian Xiaoqi and said.

"Yeah." Tian Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly.
