Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Yes, let's go and meet them." Li Jin nodded and decided to go see Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua first.

The two came to Xu Yun's office and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Xu Yun's voice came from inside. Judging from the voice, Xu Yun seemed a little tired.

Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng opened the door and walked in. Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua were looking at the report on the injured.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Tang, long time no see." Li Jin greeted with a smile.

If it weren't for the two of them, he estimated that the seriously injured soldier might have to give some information, so Li Jin was still very grateful to them.

"Battalion Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, when did you come back?!" Seeing this, Xu Yun hurriedly stood up with Tang Jiuhua.

"I just got back today, please sit down first." Li Jin gestured for the two to sit down.

Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua looked haggard as they had been staying up late many times these days to take care of the wounded.

"Thank you for your hard work these days!" Li Jin said seriously.

"This is what we should do. As doctors, we should save lives and heal the wounded!" Xu Yun responded with a smile. However, after hearing Li Jin's words, he felt a lot more comforted.

"Once the wounded's condition stabilizes, you and your wife can take a few days off and spend time with the children!" Li Jin also knew that during this period of time, he had people send the wounded back from time to time. Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua probably didn't have much time to rest, otherwise, their dark circles under their eyes would not be so heavy.

"Okay!" Xu Yun did not refuse. They really should have a good rest. If they continued like this, their bodies would not be able to take it.

"Battalion Commander, you two are back. Does that mean the mission is completed?!" Tang Jiuhua asked. If it wasn't completed, both of them wouldn't have come back.

"Well, it's all done!" Li Jin nodded in response.

"That's good!" Tang Jiuhua also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, penicillin is indeed effective. After the wounded used it, there was basically no inflammation of the wounds." Xu Yun's eyes revealed excitement when he talked about penicillin.

He really never thought that one day he would be able to make such a powerful medicine with his own hands.

Although it was not developed by him, at least he made it, so he has some sense of accomplishment.

"As long as it works, it's fine. You can continue to make penicillin. If you need anything, just tell me or the soldiers who are protecting you!" Li Jin smiled. He naturally knew the importance of penicillin better than anyone else.

You know, it will take another two or three years for this thing to be developed by foreigners and then sold to China.

A little penicillin is priceless because it almost represents a life. Many people have not only paid a huge price but even lost their lives in order to get penicillin. Therefore, you can imagine how valuable penicillin is.

"No problem! I have to say, the Japanese are really advanced in medical technology. They can actually develop such a powerful thing." Xu Yun was somewhat emotional.

Not only is the Japanese military powerful, but their medical skills are also world-class.

"Their medical skills have been very advanced in recent years, even leading the world. It is very likely that they are using our people to conduct experiments, and then they have obtained a lot of data, which is why they are so talented." Li Jin knew that the Japanese medical skills were leading the world, and they were completely using humans to conduct experiments.

Thinking of the Japanese laboratories, Li Jin gritted his teeth in anger.

These people are really worse than animals.

"Those people are just a bunch of disgusting beasts! If possible, the Japanese should also experience what it feels like to be captured and experimented on!" Tang Jiuhua looked angry.

"Yes, that's right. I think we can build a laboratory and let the Japanese experience it too!" Xu Yun also agreed with what his wife said.

Although he opposed experiments on humans, animals were not among them.

"There will be opportunities in the future. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving first. No need to see me off!" Li Jin stood up and saw Xu Yun was about to stand up to see him off, so he quickly stopped him.

"From now on, you should do whatever you should do. We are not superiors and subordinates, so there is no need to get involved in those social etiquettes. Do you understand?!" Li Jin instructed.

"Okay!" Xu Yun nodded.

Only then did Li Jin leave with Xu Qingfeng.

"The battalion commander does have a good temper. Or rather, the soldiers in the special operations battalion are all very good. They are probably influenced by the battalion commander." Xu Yun and Tang Jiuhua praised Li Jin.

"Well, it's just that they all like to swear, which is not a very good feeling." Tang Jiuhua nodded, and felt that the shortcoming of Li Jin and the others might be that they like to swear, but there was no problem with anything else.

"The battalion commander is the commander after all. It's normal for him to swear. How can he lead those soldiers if he doesn't swear? You know how he would have no momentum." Xu Yun could understand this.

"It seems so!" Tang Jiuhua also felt that there was some truth in it after hearing it.

.........

After leaving the hospital, Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng returned to their residence.

"Oh..." Li Jin sat down at the table in the room and took out a list of casualties.

Li Jin has looked at each of the names above one by one, and can imagine what the people look like. Although none of them were trained by him personally, he has trained them to some extent, so he can call out the names of the soldiers in the special operations battalion.

He Ergou, from Hejia Village, is nineteen years old this year. His parents are still alive, and he has two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Ye Xiaoliu, also from Hejia Village, is seventeen years old this year. When he first joined the army, he was tall and thin, as if he would fall down if the wind blew. Later, when his food was better, he gained weight and became stronger, no longer looking frail.

Li Jin looked down one by one, and the appearance of those people appeared in his mind.

Eighty percent of the soldiers who died were teenagers, in the prime of their lives.

"Your sacrifice was not in vain. People in the future will remember you forever! You are all heroes!" Li Jin murmured.

"Battalion Commander, I'm coming in!" Xu Qingfeng's voice came from outside, the door was pushed open, and Xu Qingfeng walked in.

After hearing the voice, Li Jin casually placed the list of casualties on the table.

"Old Xu, what's wrong?!" Li Jin asked.

"Battalion Commander, I have an idea about the sacrificed soldiers." Xu Qingfeng spoke. He was also thinking about these soldiers after returning to his room, so he had an idea.

"Oh?! What idea?!" Li Jin was puzzled.

"How about we build a huge monument now, carve the names of the fallen soldiers on it, and then put it in an open space so that the soldiers can see it.
Let them know that if they sacrifice, someone will remember them! The cohesion will be stronger. "Xu Qingfeng immediately said what he was thinking.

Many soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice. What they fear is that no one will remember them after their sacrifice.

Moreover, the location of the base is actually very safe. If a monument is built, it will not be destroyed by the enemy. "This is a good idea. When engraving their names, also engrave the battles they participated in, where they are from, when they joined the army, and when they died!" Li Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he added a few more points.

In fact, this is to depict the life of the sacrificed soldiers, which makes it easier for people to know how much merit the sacrificed soldiers have made!

"That's what I think. Anyway, this monument will always stand!" Xu Qingfeng also said quickly.

"Well, go and tell some soldiers to find materials and make this monument!" Li Jin nodded.

Now that you have thought about it, just do it as soon as possible. There is nothing more to say.

"Okay, I'll go find someone now!" Xu Qingfeng turned and left. He wanted to see the soldiers who had joined the army to see if there were any stonemasons. He had to find professionals to make the monument, otherwise it would seem disrespectful to the sacrificed soldiers.

After Xu Qingfeng left, Li Jin continued to look at the list of casualties. After reading it for more than ten minutes, the company commanders came to him.

"Battalion Commander, these are the suicide notes of the fallen soldiers. We have sorted them out and put those from the same village together to make it convenient for you to go there when the time comes." Liu Changshun handed several suicide notes to Li Jin.

Others also handed the suicide note to Li Jin.

"Well, well done. Haven't you read these suicide notes? These are for their families!" Li Jin nodded and asked.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander, we won't peek." Everyone answered in unison. The dead are the most important, so how could they go back to read the suicide notes left by the fallen soldiers to their families?

"Let's all have a good rest!" Li Jin waved his hand.

"Battalion Commander, how about letting us write the death notice?" Liu Changshun hesitated for a moment and spoke. He wanted to help Li Jin share the burden.

"No need, I'll write it. You guys go and have a rest." Li Jin shook his head and disagreed. He wanted to write the death notices for these sacrificed soldiers himself.

"Yes." Everyone could only turn around and leave the room.

Li Jin checked the forty-two suicide notes and made sure they were not classified incorrectly before putting them away.

Li Jin took out a pen and paper and began to write the death notice. However, when he put pen to paper, he felt a little heavy.

Finally he took a few deep breaths before he began writing the death notice.

I wrote until midnight, and the kerosene lamp was lit on the table.

"Battalion Commander, it's late. Why don't you take a rest first? I'll do the writing." Xu Qingfeng pushed open the door and walked in.

"There are only a few left. You should go to sleep first." Li Jin shook his head. There were only four notices left, and he had finished writing them.

"Okay, then you must rest immediately after you finish writing." Xu Qingfeng was also a little helpless. After giving some instructions, he left Li Jin's room.

Ten minutes later, Li Jin had finished writing the remaining four death notices. He got envelopes and stuffed the notices in them.

Then check carefully to make sure there is nothing missing.

After finishing everything, Li Jin blew out the kerosene lamp and lay down on the bed.

At six o'clock in the morning, Li Jin had already gotten up and went to the yard to wash up. He happened to see Xu Qingfeng also washing up.

"Old Xu, you wake up so early, why don't you sleep a little longer?!" Li Jin came to the well to fetch water.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?!" Xu Qingfeng asked back.

"There's nothing I can do. It's my biological clock. I wake up on time." Li Jin smiled.

"By the way, are the death compensation and food ready?!" Li Jin asked. He planned to set out today to deliver things to the families of the fallen soldiers.

"Well, it's been prepared a long time ago. I'll go with you after we finish eating." Xu Qingfeng responded. He had someone prepare everything that needed to be prepared yesterday.

Each fallen soldier received a pension of 60 yuan, a bag of 200 kilograms of food, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

"Okay." Li Jin nodded, then called a messenger and asked him to send a telegram to Captain Xiao in Liujia Village, telling him that they would go to Liujia Village the day after tomorrow.

After breakfast, Li Jin took the death notice and the suicide note with him, and called the soldiers of the same company to set off together, asking them to help carry things. They also did not forget to take the ashes of the fallen soldiers with them.

At first, Li Jin planned to bury the ashes of those soldiers together at the base, but after thinking it over carefully, he decided to give up.

In contrast, the families of those soldiers probably would not agree if they knew about this. Besides, being able to return home is more important than anything else.

The group quickly set off and left the base again, but this time they left not to fight, but to send people back.

.........

Time flies, and soon it is the third day.

Li Jin and his team arrived at a location about a few miles away from Liujia Village, and the two soldiers on guard recognized Li Jin at the first opportunity.

"Captain Li, Deputy Captain Xu, long time no see." The old soldier spoke with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's been quite a long time. Are you a soldier on Old Wu's side?!" Li Jin nodded and said, he thought the man looked familiar.

"Yes, I didn't expect that Captain Li still remembered me. You should go to the village quickly. The regiment commander and others are waiting for you." The old soldier urged.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Li Jin and the others continued to walk towards Liujia Village.

"Sergeant, are these people also from our Eighth Route Army?!" After Li Jin and his team passed by, the new recruit couldn't help but ask.

Because each of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who came over was very strong.

"Well, they are soldiers from the Special Operations Battalion of the 386th Brigade. The one who just spoke to me is the battalion commander of the special operations battalion, and the one next to him is the deputy battalion commander!" The old squad leader nodded and began to introduce them.

"Are they very powerful?! They seem to be quite extraordinary!" The new recruit couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he thought of those soldiers just now. It was the first time he had seen such scary soldiers!

"Of course. If he wasn't that capable, could he have been transferred out directly by Brigade Commander Chen and come under the direct jurisdiction of the brigade?!" said the old squad leader.

"Let me tell you, their combat effectiveness is even stronger than those Japanese devils. When we attacked the mine before, the special operations battalion alone killed more than half of the Japanese devils!" The old squad leader told about the previous cooperation.

"Oh my god! So awesome?!" The recruit widened his eyes after hearing this!
"Do you think that without the special operations battalion, our regiment would never have developed so fast, let alone become one of the main regiments?" The old squad leader was still very grateful to Li Jin.

If Li Jin hadn't helped them, they would have been extremely busy during the winter. As a result, Li Jin led them to rob the cotton-padded clothes transported by the Japanese.
