Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 810

"This thing is really good!" After studying it, Xu Qingfeng looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and sighed.

Although the communication range of a walkie-talkie cannot match that of a radio, it is small and easy to carry around, and it is also convenient for communication. It would be even better if the communication range could be longer.

"Battalion Commander, can this thing be used for more than just combat? I feel like it can be used not only in combat, but also for daily communication." Xu Qingfeng realized that this thing has so many uses.

If you want to gather troops, you just need to contact the commander using the walkie-talkie, saving the time of sending people to notify them.

"If there are enough materials, there shouldn't be any problem." Li Jin thought about it and realized that the production of a walkie-talkie was not very complicated. All it took was enough materials.

"Then we should make a few more and use them in our base. We can also let the guards use walkie-talkies so that they can get in touch immediately if anything happens." Xu Qingfeng suggested.

"Yes! Okay." Li Jin nodded in agreement.

Everyone quickly returned to the base.

Xu Huangsheng, Liu Hexuan and others are already waiting here.

"Battalion Commander, congratulations on your triumphant return!" Xu Huangsheng stepped forward and saw that the soldiers in the rear were each carrying a pile of supplies. His smile almost widened.

"After putting the supplies in the warehouse, soldiers from each company should return to their respective bases to eat first." Li Jin turned around and gave orders to everyone.

"Battalion Commander." Liu Hexuan also stepped forward.

"Old Liu, thank you for your hard work these days!" Li Jin smiled and patted Liu Hexuan on the shoulder.

If it weren't for these technicians, it would still take a lot of time for him to make the walkie-talkie on his own.

"No, no, we just made things according to the drawings given by the battalion commander!" Liu Hexuan looked serious. They were now completely convinced by Li Jin.

At first they doubted whether this thing would be really useful. It was not until it was made that they were really surprised by the practical range of the walkie-talkie.

"Yeah, I never thought that the battalion commander is not only good at leading troops in battle, but also good at technical aspects, and he is so capable. He is really awesome!" Qin Ming also stood up, praised Li Jin and gave him a thumbs up.

The other technicians also nodded.

"Battalion Commander, if you have other ideas in the future, just tell us and we will take care of it!" Liu Hexuan said.

They used to think that Li Jin was a layman, but now it seems that Li Jin knows much more than them. They are not arrogant people, and they will humbly ask for advice from capable people.

"Okay, if I have any good ideas, I will tell you." Li Jin also smiled.

"By the way, the apprentices assigned to you are doing a good job, right? If not, tell me and I will replace you with another one." Li Jin saw the soldiers who were previously assigned to Liu Hexuan in the crowd.

"No, that's right. They put in a lot of effort in making the walkie-talkies. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to produce the product so quickly." Liu Hexuan quickly praised them.

What he said was true. The soldiers that Li Jin sent as apprentices were brave and careful, and helped them a lot.

"Haha, that's good. I was worried that they would delay your progress. I'm glad I can help." Li Jin laughed twice and said.

"Come on, let's eat first and talk while we eat." Xu Huangsheng asked them to eat first.

Everyone quickly came to the cafeteria, ordered a sumptuous dinner, and then sat down to eat.

Liu Changshun and his friends ate voraciously, as if someone was going to snatch their food away.

"Damn it, I'm tired of eating canned food every day outside! It's better to go back to the base." Liu Changshun said vaguely while eating.

"Everyone is like this. I feel like I'm getting thinner and starving just by eating canned food!" Lu Changgong couldn't help but join in the conversation. He felt that eating was really hard when he was on a mission.

Li Jin shook his head helplessly upon hearing this. These guys must have forgotten the times when they didn’t have enough to eat.

"Battalion Commander, it looks like you've suffered a lot outside!" Liu Hexuan said when he saw how everyone was eating.

After arriving at the special operations camp, he found that the food there was indeed very good. Eating canned meat was really a hardship.

Think about their previous life, compared with the special operations camp, it is simply not on the same level.

"How can this be considered hardship? At least we can still eat canned meat." Li Jin shook his head. These guys were starting to dislike eating canned meat.

It seems that they will have to starve for a few days. However, although Liu Changshun and the others complain, they are willing to endure the hardship. After all, they often went hungry before.

"Battalion Commander, I just saw someone holding some boxes. The boxes inside don't belong to any soldiers..." Liu Hexuan fell silent after saying this. He just saw quite a few soldiers holding some boxes that looked like they contained ashes.

"Yes, it's the ashes of the soldiers who died in this mission." Li Jin did not hide it and said it directly. The bodies of those soldiers who died were burned into ashes and brought back.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Hexuan and the others stopped eating, and Xu Huangsheng was even more incredulous.

"Battalion, Battalion Commander, are you kidding?!" Xu Huangsheng asked. Since the establishment of their special operations battalion, there has never been a case of soldiers being sacrificed, but it happened this time.

"This mission was indeed difficult. Forty-two soldiers sacrificed their lives. However, our record was also very good, killing more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers." Li Jin gave a rough estimate of the number of Japanese soldiers they killed.

"What?! Killed more than 20,000 Japanese devils?! Just you guys?!" Liu Hexuan was shocked after hearing this. He knew that the special operations battalion was powerful, but this record was somewhat exaggerated.

"Of course not. If we count the special operations battalion alone, I estimate that they only killed more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers." Li Jin shook his head. How could they kill so many Japanese soldiers by themselves?

"That's also amazing!" Liu Hexuan had no doubt.

"Are you cooperating with anyone? Did the brigade commander send someone here?!" Qin Ming asked.

"The brigade commander sent the New 1st Regiment, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent the 358th Regiment..." Li Jin listed all the participating troops.

However, even though there were a large number of people participating in the battle, it was still their special operations battalion that killed the most Japanese soldiers, killing at least more than half of them.

Although other people also killed a lot of devils, their role was not very significant.

"It turns out that you are cooperating with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. However, why would they send people to cooperate with you?!" Liu Hexuan nodded and then reacted.

How did Li Jin and his men get the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to cooperate with them in their fight against the Japanese?
"We used some tricks..." Li Jin then explained how they started wearing the uniforms of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army to kill the devils and put the blame on the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. The people were stunned. Putting the blame on others and asking the Shanxi Suiyuan Army to send people to cooperate, this looked very sinister.

"As expected of the battalion commander, he is so sinister." Xu Huangsheng couldn't help but say, only the battalion commander could do such a sinister thing.

As a result, when Li Jin heard this, he raised his eyebrows, obviously disagreeing with what Xu Huangsheng said about his conspiracy.

"No, no, you're wrong. The battalion commander is very resourceful!" Xu Huangsheng quickly changed his words.

"That's right, Lao Xu, think carefully before you speak next time." Liu Changshun taught him a lesson.

"My problem, my problem!" Xu Huangsheng also accepted it very tactfully.

"Battalion Commander, if you do this, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will not hate you, right? Will they plot against you in the future?!" Liu Hexuan frowned, his tone filled with worry!

He has been blamed for no reason and was threatened by Li Jin. He might be held responsible by Li Jin!
"You're overthinking it. If they want to plot against me, they have to have the strength to do so. Otherwise, they can't bear the consequences!" Li Jin told Liu Hexuan to be at ease.

The combat effectiveness demonstrated by the special operations battalion is enough to scare the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If they really dare to attack the special operations battalion, they will be asking for trouble.

"Besides, I have contributed such a great contribution to them. They are grateful to me so much that they would never plot against me!" Li Jin continued.

Although he did trick the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, he also made a huge contribution to the army. If his guess is correct, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will soon get more supplies.

Moreover, the news might have been published in the newspapers by now. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has gained both fame and fortune, and has received so many benefits that it is impossible for them to think of harming him.

"That's true, but we are still the biggest beneficiaries this time, right?!" Liu Hexuan nodded and then thought of Li Jin's mission.

"Well, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army doesn't know our identities, so they won't think about it. In the days ahead, other bases will be able to develop peacefully.

During their development, if they feel that the soldiers need actual combat, they can also send them to fight against the puppet army or the devils.
The Japanese now have lost so many people that they are seriously injured and do not pose much threat to the base." Li Jin cooperated with the fake identity to avoid the Jinsui Army from thinking too much.

Even if they thought about it this way, they would overturn this idea themselves, because they simply did not believe that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to train such a powerful force.

Therefore, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army may have felt that they were the biggest beneficiaries, not the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the Eighth Route Army only sent a new regiment to help.

Everyone nodded.

Liu Hexuan also looked at Li Jin twice more. He didn't expect that Li Jin could think so far ahead. No wonder the brigade commander valued Li Jin so much. If Li Jin didn't have any skills, he would not be valued by a big shot like the brigade commander.

"Should we also notify the families of the soldiers who died?!" Liu Hexuan thought of the soldiers who died this time.

The families of those soldiers probably don’t know about this yet.

"Of course. I will go there in person and deliver the death notice and death pension to them." Li Jin's expression was serious.

Moreover, before setting off, the soldiers also wrote suicide notes to their families, and Li Jin would also hand them over to their families.

"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the walkie-talkies first. Lao Liu, how many walkie-talkies can you make with your current materials?!" Xu Qingfeng changed the topic appropriately, otherwise the atmosphere would be a bit too heavy.

"I estimate that I can make about twenty more films. By then, I can get more materials! I can do more." Liu Hexuan replied.

They don’t have enough materials left now. A lot of materials were wasted when they made it before. Fortunately, those materials can still be obtained.

"Well, just continue making the walkie-talkies these days and finish making the remaining materials. Then start using machine tools to make bullets, grenades and the like. If possible, you can also study the production of guns!" Li Jin also gave orders.

Later, he will show some of these walkie-talkies to the brigade commander for review. If feasible, they will be put into use by the troops. Of course, the current walkie-talkies are only suitable for small troops like theirs.

The same applies to regimental-level troops, but it is better not to expose them first to avoid spies.

"Okay!" Liu Hexuan nodded. He had the same idea.

"When you go back, find the suicide notes of the fallen soldiers and send them to me so that I can give them to their families." Li Jin looked at several company commanders again.

In the special operations battalion, only the Sharpshooter Company and the Reconnaissance Company suffered no casualties. The other companies all lost several soldiers to varying degrees.

"Yes!" Several company commanders nodded.

"I'm going to the hospital to see the injured." Li Jin got up and left, and Xu Qingfeng followed him.

After eating, several company commanders also got up and left to do their business.

Soon, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng arrived at the hospital. They went to the ward to check on the injured.

The seriously injured patients who were sent back before have all been rescued and all they need to do is recuperate well.

"Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander!" The soldiers in the ward wanted to stand up and salute.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't move, you'll tear the wound!" Li Jin saw this and hurriedly tried to stop them, fearing that the soldier would break open the wound that had been scabbed with great difficulty.

"Battalion Commander, you are back. Is the mission over?!" a soldier asked. They were the group of seriously injured soldiers who had been sent back earlier.

"Well, the mission was successfully completed. This time, we wiped out more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers, causing great damage to the Japanese!" Li Jin nodded in response.

The completion of this mission is inseparable from the efforts of all the soldiers.

"We killed so many Japanese?! Awesome!" The soldier was immediately delighted after hearing this. Although he did not fight to the end, he did participate after all.

"You guys have a good rest, I'll go and see other people." Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng got up and left.

The two of them went to see the seriously injured soldiers who had been sent there recently. They were all fine and not in danger of life, which made Li Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

These have been sent to the base. It would be a shame if they cannot be rescued.

"It seems that the two doctors we found are really capable. If it weren't for them, I think these soldiers would be in danger." Xu Qingfeng sighed.

The two doctors who were rescued helped them heal the seriously injured. It was simply God's will and they were quite lucky.
