Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 721

"Captain Chu finally asked. I thought you didn't intend to ask." Li Jin smiled and said.

"So, why?! Our Jinsui Army shouldn't have any grudge against you, right?!" Chu Yunfei asked.

The Northeastern Army was targeted by the commander-in-chief, and it was not the Jinsui Army who was targeted. What did the other side mean by making them take the blame?

"You can't stand it." Li Jin answered.

"Can't stand it?!" Chu Yunfei frowned, as if he had thought about this answer, but when it came out of Li Jin's mouth, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

In his heart, there are only two people he really respects, Commander Yan and the principal. The former is his boss, and the latter is his teacher.

"Yes, I just can't stand where you are so safe and don't want to fight the Japanese. To be honest, I understand your idea of ​​conserving your strength.
After all, the Japs will only stay in China for a short time. After the Japs are driven away, you will be thinking about making money and having a greater say! "Li Jin said one after another.

Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say, because what the other party said was indeed correct. This was probably what Commander Yan had in mind.

"So I can't stand it. I asked someone to make the uniforms of your Jinsui Army. Wearing your uniforms, in your name, I have been engaging in Japanese attacks recently.
Anyway, a small number of Japs are not a threat to me, but it is not that easy for a large army of Japs to surround me. When the time comes, the Japs will point their finger at you. "Li Jin continued.

If the Japanese didn't send a large force, Li Jin was even sure that he could directly wipe out the Japanese in one district and one regiment in a short time.

"How can you be sure that if the Japs send a large force over, our Jinsui Army will fight back instead of withdrawing directly." Qian Bojun said directly after hearing this.

"What does it have to do with me?! Anyway, it's enough to make you unsafe. Just evacuate your station without firing a single shot.

I believe it will make a lot of people laugh if word spreads about it. "Li Jin laughed after hearing this.

After working so hard to guard the station for so long, but choosing to run away without firing a shot when the Japanese came over, how could the Jinsui Army see anyone in the future?

Although the opponent had previously defended the city and chose to retreat without firing a shot, the blame could be left to his subordinates, but this time it was different. This time it was the Japanese who attacked the base camp of the Jinsui Army. If the Jinsui Army was still a If the gun is not released, who will take the blame? !
"You!!" Qian Bojun was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.

"It seems that Battalion Commander Mu is quite prejudiced against our Jinsui Army." Chu Yunfei said.

"Fortunately, to be honest, when you were defending Taiyuan, you fought well, but after losing Taiyuan, you didn't fight any decent battles.

In the face of a national crisis, if everyone wants to preserve their strength, will the country still be a country? ! "Li Jin said, the Jinsui Army actually has something to offer.

"You make it easy. You only have a thousand people at your disposal. Naturally, you don't think about conserving your strength. You can recruit enough people at any time.
But if we have many casualties and want to recruit enough people, it will be difficult. Have you considered the financial and material resources required to train soldiers?

Easier said than done! "Qian Bojun's tone was somewhat tit for tat.

He made it clear that if their organization collapsed, it would take a long time to re-establish it, and it would consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

Even if the commander-in-chief provides support, it will not be an easy task to re-establish it.

"In the final analysis, it's better to preserve our strength. I really don't have many people in my hands, but the financial and material resources I use for training are far more than your brigade or even a division. If I dare to fight against the Japanese, the worst I can do is become a polished commander and start all over again." came,

If nothing else, just say that I am a Chinese soldier, I will never be able to watch the Japanese do whatever they want in China and remain indifferent! "Li Jin's voice was trembling and his tone was firm.

"Well said!" Chu Yunfei couldn't help but praise, which made Qian Bojun speechless. Which side of the group are you standing on?

"If other people said this, I, Han Mingyuan, might not believe it, but if Battalion Commander Mu said this, I believe it," Han Mingyuan said.

When the Japanese went to their positions to persuade them to surrender and even asked them to cooperate, Mu Jin chose to believe that the master would not betray them.

From then on, he understood that Mu Jin would even take risks in order to fight the Japanese.

"Actually, we also have difficulties. Many times, this battle is not what we want to fight." Chu Yunfei sighed.

He admired the commander of the Northeast Army very much. Although he had few soldiers, he was not afraid of the Japs at all. He could annihilate so many Japs in a short period of time, which was something their troops could not do.

"You have difficulties. Why, others don't have difficulties?! Let's talk about the Sichuan Army. How can you have difficulties like them?!
How dare they fight with the Japanese even though they hold tattered guns and wear straw sandals? How about you? !
Let’s talk about the Gui army. Tens of thousands of people marched for several months and rushed to Songhu. They were defeated in a few days.
Don't you have any difficulties? ! But they are still recruiting soldiers and are still fighting against the Japanese. If everyone says that they are in trouble, how can they fight against the Japanese? ! "Li Jin gave a series of examples, which immediately silenced Chu Yunfei.

"When I went to Wuhan, Wu County was guarded by the Sichuan Army and there was no support at all. A brigade faced a well-equipped Japanese regiment.

The whole brigade combined didn't even have many machine guns. Guess how they managed to hold on for several days with such fierce Japanese artillery fire? ! "Li Jin talked about the Sichuan army he met in Wuhan.

"How to guard?!" Qian Bojun couldn't help but ask.

"Take your life, their weapons are too old, and their range is too short. They can only shoot the Japs at close range. You also know that the Japs' marksmanship is accurate, and it is even more accurate at close range.
If these Sichuan troops had better guns and sufficient ammunition, would they need to do this? !

They fought with the Japanese with bayonets and risked their lives to defend the position, just to complete an impossible task. If a new regiment of the Eighth Route Army had not come to support them,
That city was long lost. "Li Jin continued.

Everyone was silent.

"Actually, not to mention the Sichuan Army, our division had no support at that time and was fighting everywhere. Of course, some people were not under so much pressure.
But those people did not choose to support. Of course, in comparison, the situation of our division is much better than that of the Sichuan army. " Han Mingyuan said.

Compared with the Sichuan army, their division's firepower was sufficient, and they could barely fight the Japanese and use the terrain advantage to hold the line of defense.

"At that time, we also planned to die in Fengling." Kong Sheng said that their division did not issue any order to retreat at that time.

"That's why I went over to help you and defend your position." Li Jin continued.

"Speaking of which, Commander Mu, I still want to thank you for your assistance at that time. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for us to defend Fengling.

It is even more impossible to annihilate a Japanese brigade. "Han Mingyuan said seriously.

Their situation was considered very critical at that time. Without Mu Jin's support, they would never be able to defend Fengling. When the time came, Fengling would fall and the entire defense line would collapse, with serious consequences.

This is also the reason why the division commander can be directly promoted to the commander of the army at once, because Fengling is defended, which reduces the pressure on other troops and prevents them from being defeated and breaking the defense line there at that time.

"You're welcome, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a soldier." Li Jin replied. "So, do you still think you are in trouble?!" Li Jin looked at Chu Yunfei and Qian Bojun.

When the two heard this, they could no longer think of anything to say in reply.

"To be honest, if I really want to do something, you can't stop me. I can even easily appear at your Commander Yan's bedside." Li Jin said suddenly.

"You kind of underestimate us! Do you really think that our defense is just a decoration?" Qian Bojun said unconvinced. Commander Yan's defense was impregnable. How could it be penetrated by this Northeastern army?

"I was just joking, don't be too nervous." Li Jin smiled.

Only Han Mingyuan and Kong Sheng understood that Li Jin was really not joking.

The other party went directly to their division's camp without anyone noticing. You must know that during a war, the defense would be tighter than usual.

"Okay, now that I have explained why I wear the uniform of your Jinsui Army, Commander Chu, should you choose to continue to cooperate or take people away." Li Jin changed the subject and said.

"The specific cooperation depends on whether you are really that powerful. I at least have to see it with my own eyes." Chu Yunfei said.

Even with Han Mingyuan as a guarantee, Chu Yunfei still hopes to see the true combat effectiveness of this unit with his own eyes.

"No problem, I said, I will make you feel that this cooperation is worth it!" Li Jin said, not letting the other party see it with his own eyes.

In order to prevent Chu Yunfei from suspecting that Han Mingyuan was colluding with him to deceive Chu Yunfei.

"Let me ask first, how many people did you bring?!" Li Jin looked at Chu Yunfei and Han Mingyuan.

"I brought the entire 358th Regiment here, a total of 3,200 people, and an artillery company." Chu Yunfei replied.

"Yeah, not bad." Li Jin nodded, a little surprised. Chu Yunfei's development was really fast.

The New Regiment could develop so quickly, but it had to fight many Japanese soldiers before it could grow to 3,500 men and barely have an artillery company.

The 358th Regiment has these things directly. I have to say that it is really easy to develop if you have a good background.

"There are only a few people on my side, only more than 600 people, but these 600 people are all veterans who survived in Fengling." Han Mingyuan said, his group of veterans is not said to be more powerful than the Japanese, but It's definitely not much different.

In a real fight, two Japs for one can still do it. Of course, they can't compare with this Northeastern Army, but they are much stronger than other troops. Even Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, he actually doesn't take it very seriously. .

When Chu Yunfei heard this, he was stunned. When Han Mingyuan and the others withdrew from Fengling, only 5,000 soldiers survived. This time, when they came over, the other party actually brought over 600 veterans.

"Okay, Old Han, aren't you afraid that all these soldiers will be lost here?!" Li Jin was also a little surprised after hearing this.

Every veteran is the heart of the army and the elite of the army. It can even be said that if an army does not have a certain number of veterans to train new recruits, the price it needs to pay to form combat effectiveness is huge.

Unexpectedly, Han Mingyuan was so willing to bring a group of veterans over.

"So, brother Mu, please don't let me suffer serious losses, otherwise I won't be able to go back and communicate with the military." Han Mingyuan smiled, and his name for Mu Jin also changed.

From the change in Mu Jin's name for him, he knew that Mu Jin should consider him a friend.

"No problem, I'll just tell you, you have to obey my command. If you can't do it, you can leave now and I won't stop you!" Li Jin looked at a few people and asked for the command directly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Han Mingyuan agreed without any hesitation.

"What about Captain Chu?!" Li Jin looked at Chu Yunfei.

"Since the seniors have agreed, then I agree too." Chu Yunfei replied. Han Mingyuan and a group of veterans dared to let Mu Jin command him. What if he got cold feet?

"Commander Chu is so cool!" Li Jin was also stunned after hearing this. He thought Chu Yunfei was hesitant. After all, Chu Yunfei was born in Huangpu Military Academy, so his commanding ability was naturally not good.

"However, Commander Mu, I have to say something ugly first. If your order causes heavy casualties to my people, then don't blame me for not cooperating with you!" Chu Yunfei added.

The premise of all this is that his 358th Regiment cannot suffer heavy casualties. After all, he has spent a lot of effort on the 358th Regiment. If Mu Jin makes it miserable, he will not agree.

"Don't worry, Captain Chu. Since you choose to cooperate, you are one of our own. Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if we don't cooperate,

If you have never fought against Japanese invaders, I will take action if I happen to pass by. You will know this if you ask Lao Han. "Li Jin said.

He wanted Chu Yunfei to keep his heart in mind. He would not give random orders and cause Chu Yunfei's troops to suffer heavy casualties. No matter what happens in the future, at least they should be consistent with the outside world now.

"Yunfei, can you believe what Brother Mu said? He can still distinguish right from wrong." Han Mingyuan also said.

"Yeah." Chu Yunfei nodded.

"Team members, how about we go out and chat?!" Upon seeing this, Qian Bojun whispered in Chu Yunfei's ear.

"Excuse me, everyone." Chu Yunfei looked at them and said, then left with Qian Bojun.

"After many days, we can cooperate again!" Han Mingyuan said with a smile.

"The cooperation last time was okay. To be honest, if you dared to betray me at that time, after Fengling was defended and you evacuated safely, none of the senior officers would survive." Li Jin said slowly.

"Brother Mu, what you said is that it's not for sale." Han Mingyuan was sweating a little behind his back. At that time, others really wanted to sell Mu Jin.

"That's why you can stand in front of me today and continue to discuss cooperation. Lao Han, to be honest, you are quite to my liking.
He is someone who can make friends. Maybe we will have the opportunity to continue working together in the future. "Li Jin said with a smile.

Han Mingyuan and Liang Gu are actually not bad. It would be best if they could abandon the dark side and turn to the light later.
