Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 805

In the conference room, Li Yunlong was also talking to Kong Jie about the process of fighting the Japanese.

"Damn it, it would be great if the brigade commander could send an independent regiment!" Kong Jie's tone became sour when he heard this. If an independent regiment was sent, then all the great credit would go to the independent regiment.

"What a joke, Lao Kong. I don't mean to discourage you, but although the Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness is okay, it is still far behind the New 1st Regiment. If they really go there, the Independent Regiment will suffer heavy casualties!" Li Yunlong said with a serious face.

Although the independent regiment is also among the leading main regiments, it is still several levels behind the New First Regiment.

If the independent regiment were to stop the Japanese invaders who had entered the mountains, there would probably be heavy casualties. This is no joke.

Kong Jie opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he found that what Li Yunlong said was not wrong.

"Alas...why doesn't the independent regiment produce a talent like Li Jin!" Kong Jie could only sigh helplessly.

If their regiment also had a talent like Li Jin, Li Yunlong would never have the chance to show off in front of him.

"Haha, this is the blessing of Old Li. Old Kong, you need to learn from me and be good at discovering talents!" Li Yunlong laughed and boasted.

"Bah! Did you discover that? That's Li Jin's own ability!" Kong Jie spat. Li Yunlong was so shameless that he dared to take the credit for himself.

"Hey, Old Kong, I remember that you also trained a group of soldiers. How is it? Can their combat effectiveness be compared with that of Li Jin's?!" Li Yunlong remembered that Kong Jie seemed to have asked the brigade commander for the training method of the special operations battalion. He wondered how the training went.

"What are you thinking? How can you compare with those trained by Li Jin? However, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are stronger than the devils.
If a real fight breaks out, I estimate that we will be able to have a one-to-two casualty ratio with the Japanese!" Kong Jie replied.

Although he obtained the training methods of the special operations battalion, he could not train too many people as the training consumed too many supplies. So he trained thirty people, but the supplies consumed were comparable to that of a battalion, and this was still the case when the training volume was reduced.

If the amount of training is not reduced, the independent regiment will not be able to support such training.

"One to two is pretty good. My Grey Wolf Squad can only fight the Japanese at a ratio of one to three." Li Yunlong said.

"You have more supplies than the independent regiment. If you can't get this with all these supplies, then you are really useless." Kong Jie said bluntly.

The New 1st Regiment has abundant supplies, but if it cannot train its soldiers to this level, then Li Yunlong is indeed useless.

"But to be honest, I really admire Li Jin. He is so amazing. On the one hand, he not only seized supplies but also turned them in. On the other hand, he used the remaining supplies to train soldiers. He is really awesome." Kong Jie was full of admiration for Li Jin.

Before, he thought that training these soldiers was a trivial matter, but after actually training them, he found that training such soldiers really consumed materials and was not at the same level as ordinary soldiers.

"That's true, I admire him too!" It was rare for Li Yunlong to stand on the same side with Kong Jie.

"Old Li, I heard you mention the 358th Regiment just now. You seem to be quite interested in this regiment." Kong Jie changed the subject and talked about the 358th Regiment.

Just now when Li Yunlong talked about fighting the Japanese, he mentioned the 358th Regiment.

"I'm not interested in the 358th Regiment, I'm interested in Chu Yunfei. This guy is really a talent and his temperament suits my personality." Li Yunlong said.

"So it seems like Chu Yunfei is quite capable?!" Kong Jie said. If Chu Yunfei was a fool, Li Yunlong probably wouldn't even look at him.

"Well, Chu Yunfei is quite good at leading troops. The soldiers of the 358th Regiment are indeed well trained." Li Yunlong nodded and praised.

In his opinion, among the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, only the 358th Regiment led by Chu Yunfei was still combat-effective.

"How does the 358th Regiment compare to the New 1st Regiment?!" Kong Jie asked curiously.

Since Li Yunlong praised Chu Yunfei so much, if the 358th Regiment fought with them, they would be comparable.

"Damn it, there's no way the 358th Regiment can be my opponent. If a fight breaks out, I'll beat them by two blocks!" Li Yunlong said bluntly.

Although the 358th Regiment has decent combat effectiveness, it is not at the same level as the New 1st Regiment.

"It seems that Chu Yunfei is the only one who can catch your eye!" Kong Jie understood after hearing this.

The 358th Regiment does have some combat effectiveness, but it is not as good as the New 1st Regiment. The only one who can be considered a figure among them is Chu Yunfei.

"If I'm not mistaken, Chu Yunfei and the others should have tried to win you over, right?!" Kong Jie continued.

This is the first time that the New 1st Regiment has demonstrated its combat effectiveness. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will most likely want to win over Li Yunlong.

"Of course. Wherever we go, Old Li will be popular and everyone wants him. But I don't think highly of them at all. I just like to stay here!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

"You kid!" Kong Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Li Yunlong just didn't behave properly.

"Speaking of which, we also got two tanks this time when fighting the Japanese!" Li Yunlong said seriously.

"What the hell?! Tank?! Where is it?! Take me to see it." Kong Jie got excited when he heard it and stood up immediately.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? Sit down first and listen to me." Li Yunlong signaled Kong Jie to calm down.

After Kong Jie sat down, Li Yunlong continued to speak, saying: "Although we have captured two tanks from the Japanese, we can't bring them back. Even if we bring them back, we can't afford to maintain them. We can't just leave them there, right?!"

"Then what?!" Kong Jie asked.

"Then we sold it to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for five thousand dollars a car!" Li Yunlong said slowly.

"Damn it, I thought you got the tank back, but turns out you sold it!" Kong Jie cursed, his tone full of disappointment.

He had been jealous of the Japanese tanks for a long time, and thought that this time he would be able to see the troops have tanks, but he was unexpectedly overjoyed.

"What can I do? I can't take it with me. Am I supposed to blow it up? It would be better to get more money." Li Yunlong said.

"That's true. Alas...what a pity." Kong Jie said this and sighed.

"Old Kong, it's just a tank. Our army will have it in the future!" Seeing this, Li Yunlong immediately comforted Kong Jie.

"By the time we have tanks, who knows when it will be!" Kong Jie said helplessly.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be one!" Li Yunlong believed this very much. They had never thought that they could own a machine tool before, but now they have one.

So, they will definitely have tanks in the future, and they may even build them themselves. Not to mention tanks, they may even be able to make airplanes!
"Old Li, since you are back, I won't bother you any more. I have to go back to the independent regiment first." Kong Jie stood up and said.

All matters concerning the independent regiment have been handed over to Deputy Commander Xing, and he has to go back now.

"Don't be anxious, I haven't asked anyone to pay me yet!" Li Yunlong stood up and grabbed Kong Jie.

"I'm just talking. Besides, this is just a defense. Why should I ask for compensation?" Kong Jie said. He didn't really care about the compensation. In his opinion, helping the New 1st Regiment to guard the base was just a piece of cake.

"That won't do. We're on our own! Lao Zhao, go get someone to prepare six light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and some ammunition for Lao Kong to take away!" Li Yunlong said directly.

"Okay, no problem." After hearing this, Zhao Gang immediately got up and left to prepare.

"Old Li, these machine guns are too many! I can't accept them!" After hearing this, Kong Jie quickly declined and said that he came to check out a base, so there was no need for Li Yunlong to send so many machine guns.

"Damn it, stop hesitating. Who said this is for you? I'm giving it to the independent regiment. What does it have to do with you?" Li Yunlong said with his eyes wide open.

Today, he would definitely put the machine gun into Kong Jie's hands.

"This..." Kong Jie wanted to refuse.

"Don't talk about this or that. I'm lending you this gun. If you need it in the future, return it to me!" said Li Yunlong.

"Okay, I'll return it to you when I have more in the future!" After hearing this, Kong Jie also agreed to accept it.

"That's right, we are old comrades-in-arms!" Li Yunlong smiled immediately after hearing this.

"I will return this gun!" Kong Jie accepted the machine gun out of consideration for the soldiers. With a few more machine guns, the firepower would be stronger, which could reduce a lot of casualties.

"Okay, okay, I'll remember it!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Not long after, Li Yunlong sent Kong Jie to the village entrance!
"Old Li, if the Japanese come to trouble you in the future, please inform me at any time and I will bring people to support you!" Kong Jie said seriously.

"There's no need for you to come. If the Japanese dare to come, the New 1st Regiment will deal with them!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Li Yunlong is not afraid if there are fewer Japanese soldiers coming. But if there are more Japanese soldiers coming, he will temporarily avoid them. He will not do a losing business.

"Well, just let me know if you need anything. I'll be there. I'm leaving first." Kong Jie said, and turned to leave.

"Old Kong, welcome back next time! I'll treat you to a drink then!" Li Yunlong shouted towards Kong Jie's back.

"No problem, I'll bring some wine then, remember to prepare some snacks!" Kong Jie said without turning his head.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Li Yunlong responded and watched Kong Jie leave.

"Captain Kong is a good person." Zhao Gang said on the side.

"That's right. Anyone who can be friends with me, Li, is not a bad person." Li Yunlong said. If the person had a bad character, it would be good enough if Li Yunlong didn't beat him up, let alone be friends with him.

"Yes, indeed. I'll have someone send a telegram to Li Jin to let him know that he's safe." Zhao Gang nodded, and then remembered that they hadn't sent a telegram to Li Jin to let him know.

"Okay, you can also ask Li Jin what he can do according to your instructions." Li Yunlong was also very concerned about Li Jin.

"Got it." Zhao Gang left and quickly went to the communications room, then asked the telegraph operator to start sending telegrams to Li Jin.

Li Jin also responded quickly, saying that they would be able to return to the base in about two days, as they had already entered the mountains.

After Zhao Gang got the news, he also went to tell Li Yunlong.

"Li Jin's speed is not slow. Each of them carries a lot of supplies!" Li Yunlong said. Only the soldiers in the special operations battalion are strong and can walk fast while carrying things. If it were others, it would probably take several days.

.........

In a forest on the outskirts of Tianli Mountains.

Soldiers from the special operations battalion are resting here.

"We finally got into the mountains!" Xu Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that they might be surrounded by the Japanese army.

"Well, this mission is not short!" Li Jin nodded.

"Yes, it's just a little shorter than the trip to Wuhan." Xu Qingfeng also said that in order to complete this mission, they traveled to several places and it took a lot of effort just to travel.

"I wonder if they have made the walkie-talkie." Li Jin thought of the walkie-talkie. If the walkie-talkie was made, it would be much more convenient for him to command the troops in the future.

Especially since we have to go to Changsha later, if we have a walkie-talkie, the operation will be more convenient. If there is any situation, we can provide support at any time or retreat at the first time.

"That's not clear. We'll know when we get back." Xu Qingfeng shook his head. He was not a god, so how could he know whether the walkie-talkie was ready or not.

"Oh... I'm really a bit tired..." Li Jin sighed. It was the first time he felt how tiring fighting was. Even though he had won, he felt very tired mentally.

After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng looked at Li Jin with some caution. In his opinion, Li Jin would not say such discouraging words, but now he said it, which made him feel a little uneasy.

"Boy, you don't know how to face the families of those fallen soldiers, right?!" Xu Qingfeng thought about it carefully, and then remembered that when he came back, Li Jin said that he would personally deliver the death notices to the families of those fallen soldiers.

But after Li Jin finished speaking, he didn't mention these things again along the way, so Xu Qingfeng probably guessed what the situation was.

"I really don't know how to go, and I don't know how to tell their families that their sons have died." Li Jin lay on the grass and sighed at the end.

Among the new recruits who died, several were recruited by him personally. He had promised to bring them back, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"If you really don't know what to say, then let me say it!" Xu Qingfeng said immediately.

Since Li Jin is in a difficult situation, let him tell the families of the fallen soldiers the bad news.

"No, I still have to go and tell them in person!" Li Jin shook his head. Now that he had made the decision, he had to do it.

Although he didn't want to think about the tears of the people, he still had to face them in the end.

"Yeah." After hearing this, Xu Qingfeng did not insist. Li Jin still needed to do this himself.

"Old Xu, when the time comes, please help prepare the medals, money and food." Li Jin instructed.

In addition to sending large amounts of money, Li Jin would also send food to the families, which also served to cover up the fact that he had sent large amounts of money.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"Battalion Commander, the regiment commander sent a telegram saying that they have arrived at the regiment headquarters and asked when we will arrive at the base?!" the telegraph operator came over to report.
