Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 802

"That's for sure, Commander. When you go to the brigade headquarters and speak to the brigade commander, you can speak louder!" Deputy Commander Qian also said happily.

At least they killed so many Japanese devils. Although Li Jin was the main force in killing the Japanese devils, their New 1st Regiment was also crucial.

He will definitely receive commendation from the entire army. This time, it’s his chance to be proud again.

"Of course. This time I just took all the cigarettes from the brigade commander." Li Yunlong laughed. If he wasn't afraid of being beaten, he would even want to take away the tea that the brigade commander was drinking.

Several people walked towards the new group, talking and laughing.

.........

Chu Yunfei also returned to the temporary command center.

"What's going on? Is Li Yunlong willing to come over?!" Master Xu asked.

"No, he refused, and judging by the situation, he probably doesn't plan to come here in the future." Chu Yunfei shook his head and said.

Li Yunlong's attitude is already very clear. No matter now or in the future, the other party will not come to join them.

Master Xu fell silent for a moment. It was understandable that Mu Jin and the others did not come, but he did not expect that Li Yunlong would not come either.

"I really don't understand. What kind of magic potion did they give to make them so loyal?!" Master Xu didn't quite understand why they lived such a hard life over there, but they managed to attract a lot of talented people.

Many students from the Whampoa Military Academy were there, and he really couldn't understand it.

Among them were many people who were highly valued by the commander-in-chief, such as the commander of the 386th Brigade. When he captured the enemy, the commander-in-chief went personally to persuade him to surrender.

However, the other party did not join them, and many senior military officers also helped to plead for mercy. The commander was really helpless and had to turn a blind eye and let the man go.

"Since you don't want to come, forget it." Commander Yan didn't really care about Li Yunlong, he was just a small figure.

Although the New 1st Regiment did perform brilliantly in this battle, it was not enough for him to take it seriously. The reason he tried to win him over was simply because Li Yunlong was a member of the 386th Brigade.

If it weren't for this relationship, Commander Yan would not have looked up to Li Yunlong at all. There are talented people everywhere, but there is no shortage of this one.

In comparison, Commander Yan valued Mu Jin more, or rather, the Northeast Army under Mu Jin's command.

This army is what he is most jealous of.

Their combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the Japanese. With only a few thousand people, they can pose such a great threat to the Japanese.

Although they were cooperating, their role was only to delay the Japanese and wait for Mu Jin to bring people to support.

.........

Li Yunlong and Deputy Captain Qian also returned to Zhao Gang's side.

"Commander, deputy commander, chief of staff!" Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng saluted hurriedly after seeing the three people.

"You got a lot of good stuff over there, right? Tell me quickly, how many weapons did you get?" Li Yunlong asked hurriedly.

He was sure that Li Jin must have gotten something good from there.

"It's nothing, just tens of thousands of dollars, some gold bars, and some machine guns, cannons and so on!" Li Jin responded simply, and also mentioned the number of guns at the back.

"Damn it! You are so good. Commander Yan asked me to come over. I thought he was going to give me some money or give some spoils to the New 1st Regiment.
As a result, he just praised me a few times and asked me to say hello to the brigade commander on his behalf. How petty he is!" Li Yunlong first praised Li Jin, and then cursed and complained.

“Hahahaha…” After hearing this, several people couldn’t help but laugh.

"It's good enough that Commander Yan didn't ask the New 1st Regiment to take over the captured weapons." Staff Officer Zhong said with a smile.

"Damn it, if he dares, I will fight him directly!" Li Yunlong was immediately furious. He came here with great difficulty to help, but he didn't get any reward, and the weapons were captured by himself!

If he was asked to take away the seized weapons, he would definitely have to fight with the other party.

"It's just a joke. Commander Yan wouldn't go to such lengths. However, it's really unreasonable that they didn't give us anything when we came here this time." Staff Officer Zhong changed the subject.

"That's right. In order to help them, I sacrificed so many soldiers and traveled hundreds of miles back and forth." Li Yunlong also said.

"Hey, hey, hey, Commander Yan, haven't you given all the things that should be given to the boss? So it's naturally impossible for you to give them to us." Zhao Gang said hurriedly after hearing this.

Commander Yan asked them for help, which cost him a lot. They were sent here just to do the work.

"That's true. Never mind. I'm going to keep more of the guns seized this time. I've come so far and made such a great contribution. I don't believe the brigade commander can still scold me." Li Yunlong decided that he would not hand over too many of the seized weapons this time and must keep more.

Otherwise, it would be a shame for him to have traveled so far, and even more so for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

"We should leave more!" Zhao Gang also agreed with Li Yunlong's statement. If it were in the past, he would definitely not agree with Li Yunlong doing this, but now, he has somewhat understood Li Yunlong.

"Old Zhao, if you had come earlier, I wouldn't have to work so hard!" Li Yunlong was very happy after hearing this. Zhao Gang has really gotten along now. When they first met, they were a little tense, but now they are good friends.

Zhao Gang smiled helplessly. If he had come earlier, he estimated that his change of mind would not have been so quick.

"Old Zhao, I think we should keep some of this money to replenish the soldiers, otherwise it would be a waste of their hard work these days. What do you think?!" Li Yunlong said with a smile again.

"You can keep some dollars, but the gold bars must not be touched!" Zhao Gang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still agreed.

It's okay to keep some dollars, but forget about the gold bars.

The main reason is that even if they keep the gold bars, they cannot realize their full value. Only by sending them to the brigade headquarters and then to the headquarters can they purchase supplies better.

"Don't worry, I won't touch the gold bars. Besides, these gold bars have probably been recorded in the brigade commander's account long ago, so I can't move them casually." Li Yunlong said.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang was somewhat convinced. If the brigade commander didn't know what Li Yunlong meant, Li Yunlong would really want to lower the gold bar a little, right?

"Captain, thank you for coming to help this time." Li Jin said. If they hadn't asked the New 1st Regiment to come, they wouldn't have been able to completely wipe out the Japanese, and many of them would have definitely escaped. "Why are you being so polite? We are all family. It doesn't matter if there is any trouble." Li Yunlong didn't care too much about it.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army seized two tanks. Didn't you want one?!" Li Yunlong suddenly remembered this. This was a Japanese tank. If their New 1st Regiment could also have one, it would be so impressive.

"Captain, you're overthinking it. Even if we were given the enemy's tanks, we wouldn't be able to afford them, let alone maintain them.
I was not sure whether I could take it back, so I exchanged the tank for 5,000 yuan, which was the best. "Li Jin said.

If they could afford the tanks, he would certainly not let them go, but the key was that they couldn't afford them, so there was nothing he could do.

"Oh...what a pity! If we could bring the tank back, Kong Erlangzi would be so envious." Li Yunlong sighed when he heard this, feeling sad that he was unable to bring the tank back to show off.

"When we can afford tanks in the future, I will definitely get them for you!" Li Jin said seriously. What they lack most now is oil and other things, so it is really difficult for them to maintain machines.

"Okay, from now on we will also drive tanks and conduct coordinated combat between infantry and tanks against the Japanese! Let the Japanese also taste our power!" Li Yunlong nodded and said.

Although he was not sure when they would have tanks, he felt very happy when he thought of their troops driving around and chasing the Japanese.

"Of course!" Li Jin also guaranteed it. He hoped that the army could develop rapidly more than anyone else, so that fewer soldiers could be sacrificed.

"Your special operations battalion also suffered casualties this time, right?!" Li Yunlong, like Zhao Gang, also mentioned this matter.

The special operations battalion did not suffer casualties in the past because the number of Japanese devils they faced was indeed not large. But this time is different. They have to deal with a lot of Japanese devils, which is much more difficult than before.

"Well, forty-two soldiers died, so I won't go back to the brigade headquarters with you. I'll deal with these soldiers' affairs first!" Li Jin nodded and said.

"Okay, come back when you're done. I'll talk to the brigade commander." Li Yunlong could also understand.

"Okay, commander, we will withdraw first. When you return to the base, remember to send me a telegram." Li Jin did not stay any longer and had to hurry back to the base.

They have been out for so long, it's time for them to go back.

"Send me a telegram when you arrive!" Li Yunlong also said, and then he felt that it didn't matter whether Li Jin sent the telegram or not.

After all, the Japanese are now severely weakened and it is impossible for them to organize a large-scale force to encircle and suppress Li Jin. Besides, the Japanese don't know Li Jin's location.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, and then left with the soldiers of the special operations battalion.

"Captain, it's time for us to go back." Zhao Gang said.

"Let's go! Let's go back!" Li Yunlong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment also set off, carrying many wounded away by them.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that soldiers would be sacrificed in the special operations battalion." Staff Officer Zhong sighed as he walked.

"Yes, the worst that happened to them before was that several soldiers were seriously injured, but none of them died.
Now that 42 soldiers have been sacrificed at once, Li Jin must be feeling bad." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian also spoke up.

"Most of the soldiers who died were new recruits, and they were not trained by Li Jin himself. Although Li Jin was sad, he was not devastated," said Li Yunlong.

If so many soldiers from the special operations company had sacrificed their lives, Li Jin would probably be very sad. After all, those soldiers were trained by Li Jin himself and he had deep feelings for them.

"Yes, the brigade commander's move of asking Li Jin to recruit more soldiers is indeed a smart one. He must have thought of this a long time ago, so he asked Li Jin to recruit more soldiers.
When Li Jin cannot take care of everyone, then even if there are large casualties in the future, it will not cause a big blow to Li Jin. The brigade commander is really amazing." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian sighed.

The brigade commander had seen all this a long time ago, so he came up with a solution.

Although Li Jin feels sad about the soldiers who died, it’s nothing!
"Do you think anyone can be a brigade commander? Our brigade commander is a real big shot. Just for the title of brigade commander, he is more than qualified to be equipped with a cavalry division." Li Yunlong also praised the brigade commander.

"Speaking of cavalry, I think our New 1st Regiment should also set up a cavalry battalion!" Li Yunlong had an idea. Although their New 1st Regiment now had strong firepower, it still lacked a type of soldier.

That is the cavalry. Li Yunlong thinks they can set up a cavalry battalion.

"Captain, what you said is simple. To build cavalry, you must have horses. How to build it without horses? You can't let the cavalry ride on wooden horses to kill the enemy, right?!" Deputy Captain Qian attacked.

If he could establish a cavalry battalion, he would naturally hope so, but establishing a cavalry battalion was too difficult.

"Damn it, why ride a wooden horse? If you want to ride, ride a real horse!" After hearing this, Li Yunlong was amused by what Deputy Captain Qian said.

"The key is, we really don't have these things!" said Deputy Head Qian. If they could have formed one, they would have done it a long time ago.

"Horses are indeed difficult to deal with, but there are solutions. We should keep an eye on the Japanese or puppet troops.
As long as they dare to ride out on horseback, we will kill them and take back their horses when we find a chance!" Li Yunlong immediately set his sights on the puppet army and the devils.

It would be impossible for them to form cavalry through normal means on their own, so they could only turn their attention to the Japanese and the puppet army.

"This is a good idea. Besides, the Japs are currently badly wounded. If things go wrong, we may have to mobilize troops from other places to maintain the situation.

But this will take a lot of time, and we can use this time to deal with the cavalry!" Zhao Gang also spoke.

He also thought it would be a good idea for the new regiment to have a cavalry battalion.

Cavalry has strong mobility. If two sides are fighting, before the enemy has dug a good position, cavalry can be sent to attack, quickly disrupting the enemy's defense and thus gaining an advantage.

"Old Zhao is right. After we go back, we will explain everything clearly. In addition to recruiting soldiers, we must set up the cavalry battalion!" Li Yunlong made the decision immediately. He must form this cavalry.

With the current supplies of the New 1st Regiment, it is easy to support a cavalry battalion.

"Wait a minute, if we really get the horses, the brigade commander will definitely send someone to ask for them," said Deputy Regiment Commander Qian.

"Hiss...That's true!" Li Yunlong took a breath of cold air. He knew very well what kind of person the brigade commander was.

If he really managed to get a cavalry battalion's worth of horses and equipment, the brigade commander would certainly send someone to ask for them.

"Hey, hey, hey, Old Li, you have to hand over what should be handed in, don't make any mistakes!" Zhao Gang knew at a glance that Li Yunlong was having some bad ideas again, so he interrupted him quickly.

If they want cavalry, the brigade commander will naturally want it too.

So, in the end, it was still a bit difficult for them to form a cavalry battalion, but being able to form a cavalry company seemed pretty good.
