Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 821

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jin and the brigade commander returned to the brigade headquarters.

Qin Yuanxin took He Ming and other soldiers to eat, while Li Jin went to the conference room with the brigade commander.

"Qin Yuanxin and the others can return to the special operations battalion." After the brigade commander came in, he said to the political commissar.

"Well, it's time." The political commissar nodded. This was within his expectations. The subsequent development of the special operations battalion needed help, and Qin Yuanxin and others were just the right people.

"Not only that, there are also He Ming and others." The brigade commander continued.

"The boss has someone to protect him, so we can just let them go back," the political commissar responded.

He Ming and his team were originally sent to protect the boss. Now that the boss has someone protecting him, He Ming and his team can go back with Li Jin.

"Li Jin, you should go back to the base tomorrow. Remember, develop the base well before going to Changsha." The brigade commander looked at Li Jin and reminded him again.

"I understand!" Li Jin said. He would certainly not forget this matter.

"Well, go and eat first." This time, the brigade commander did not ask Li Jin to eat in his yard.

"Okay, then the brigade commander and the political commissar should not forget to eat." Li Jin said, then turned and left.

After finishing his meal, Li Jin went to his residence.

.........

After He Ming arrived at the brigade dormitory, he also saw Tian Xiaoqi.

"Platoon Leader He! Why are you here at the brigade headquarters? Don't you need to protect the boss?!" Tian Xiaoqi happily stepped forward and asked when he saw He Ming.

He and He Ming haven't seen each other for a long time.

"We are no longer needed for protection. The boss has trained soldiers to protect them." He Ming said with a smile.

"What you mean is that you can come back?!" Tian Xiaoqi asked tentatively, worried that he had said the wrong thing.

"Well, not only me, but everyone else can come back." He Ming nodded.

"That's great, many of us miss you!" Tian Xiaoqi became excited. Ever since He Ming and his team left, many soldiers from the former special operations company missed him very much.

After all, they spend every day together, eat together, train together, and have already developed a deep relationship.

"Xiao Qi, you are now a squad leader." He Ming sighed. Tian Xiao Qi was just a small soldier back then, but now he has become a squad leader.

"Hehe, it's not just me. All the former soldiers in the special operations company were squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. I feel that people like us will be promoted in the future." Tian Xiaoqi said with a smile.

They were able to be promoted because the company commander was promoted to battalion commander, and there were a thousand conscription quotas, so all of these soldiers were appointed.

"That's great." He Ming was also happy for Tian Xiaoqi and the others.

"By the way, these are the new recruits you just recruited in Taiyuan, right?!" He Ming looked at the dozen or so soldiers behind Tian Xiaoqi. They were all strangers and he didn't know any of them, so he could guess what was going on.

"Yes, that's right, assemble!" Tian Xiaoqi nodded, and then gave orders to the dozen or so soldiers.

Soon, a dozen soldiers lined up in a row.

"This is He Ming, Platoon Leader He. He used to be the third platoon leader of the special operations company and also my platoon leader. He had to leave the special operations company because of the mission! Call him." Tian Xiaoqi introduced He Ming and asked the soldiers under him to call him.

"Hello, platoon leader!" everyone shouted.

"Well, hello." He Ming responded with a smile when he saw this.

During the days since I left the special operations company, it has developed very well.

"Oh, it's quite lively here." At this time, Li Jin came over. He knew that He Ming and the others would definitely reminisce with Tian Xiaoqi and the others.

"Battalion Commander." Everyone saluted.

"No need to go to so much trouble. You all can go home. Lao He, Yuan Xin, come with me for a walk." Li Jin called the two of them.

"Yes!" He Ming and Qin Yuanxin hurriedly followed Li Jin.

The three of them walked side by side.

"The Special Operations Battalion is developing very fast now, and it will be even faster in the future. After you go back, you will not be able to continue to hold your previous positions because someone will take your place." Li Jin said as he walked.

"We understand this, but we don't really care about it. As long as we can go back and fight the Japanese together, that's fine." He Ming replied. He didn't really care about positions or anything like that.

What he cares about are the soldiers in the special operations company.

"That's right, as long as we can go back." Qin Yuanxin also agreed with this.

"Although you can't hold your original positions, it's time to promote you two. When the time comes, He Ming, you will be the commander of the eighth company." Li Jin said with a smile.

The special operations battalion has nine companies, companies one to seven, a sharpshooter company, a reconnaissance company, and now an eighth company.

"Thank you, Battalion Commander. I promise not to let you down!" He Ming said hurriedly after hearing this. He never expected that he would become a company commander as soon as he returned.

Moreover, according to the number of people behind the special operations battalion, if it is fully recruited, the people he manages will be around 600 to 700 people, which is considered to be at the battalion commander level.

"Originally, you should have been promoted to the position of company commander when the special operations company became a special operations battalion, but you were at the headquarters at the time, so it has to be delayed until now." Li Jin felt a little embarrassed when he said this.

"It's okay." He Ming shook his head. As usual, he didn't care much about these things.

"Qin Yuanxin, after you go back, you will be the deputy company commander of the Eighth Company. Is there any problem?!" Li Jin looked at Qin Yuanxin again.

"Ah?! Am I promoted directly to deputy company commander?!" Qin Yuanxin was stunned. When he came to the brigade, he was just a squad leader, but now he is a deputy company commander?! This promotion speed is a bit too fast.

"What?! Are you also a company commander?!" Li Jin said with a smile.

"No, no, I don't think it's appropriate for me to be the deputy company commander. I didn't do anything special during the time I was away.

It's not a good idea to be the deputy company commander right away after returning, right?!" Qin Yuanxin started to explain. He didn't think the position of deputy company commander was too low, but he felt that he had not been in the special operations company for such a long time and had not participated in many battles. It might be unfair to others to be the deputy company commander right away.

"Who said you didn't make any contribution? You protected the brigade commander's safety and didn't let him get hurt at all. This is the greatest contribution." Li Jin said with a serious face.

“But…” Qin Yuanxin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Jin.

"No buts, it's settled!" Li Jin made the decision right away. In short, the positions of the two were decided.

"People from the Eighth Company, after we go back, I will ask other companies to assign you new recruits with combat experience, and also give you some new recruits who are still in training." Li Jin continued, saying that the Eighth Company still had to be formed quickly.

The two nodded.

"Okay, that's it, you guys go back and have a good rest." Li Jin turned and left. ………

The next morning, after saying goodbye to the brigade commander and political commissar, Li Jin set off with He Ming, Qin Yuanxin and others.

Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing.

Tian Xiaoqi was talking to He Ming and the others about fighting the Japanese.

"It was the company commander, no, it was the battalion commander. The battalion commander could indeed have done it. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is unlucky to have been targeted by our battalion commander." He Ming was still not used to calling Li Jin the battalion commander, but he would get used to it in the future.

"Haha, if I were them, and finally found out that this so-called Northeast Army was fake, I would probably be so angry that I would vomit blood." Qin Yuanxin couldn't help laughing.

They thought this was quite interesting. Only their battalion commander could cheat others and ask for money.

"Don't laugh yet. I'll show you something good." Li Jin heard the two people laughing and took out two walkie-talkies and gave them to them.

"What is this?!" He Ming and Qin Yuanxin were a little confused.

"This is a walkie-talkie that can be used for communication." Tian Xiaoqi interrupted.

"Xiao Qi, please teach them how to use it." Li Jin gave the order. He Ming and Qin Yuanxin had never used a walkie-talkie and didn't know how to use it. It would be a good opportunity to teach them how to use it.

"Okay." After hearing this, Tian Xiaoqi quickly began to teach the two how to use it.

"How far can this walkie-talkie communicate?!" He Ming asked curiously. This thing looked really strange. It was the first time he had seen it.

"If there are obstacles, the farthest distance is six miles. If there are no obstacles, the farthest distance is more than ten miles!" Tian Xiaoqi responded.

"What?! This thing can actually communicate so far?!" Qin Yuanxin was shocked. He looked at He Ming and immediately understood the importance of this thing.

If they were equipped with walkie-talkies, it would be much easier to command troops in the future, and there would be no need to send people to convey orders, thus saving time.

Sometimes, victory on the battlefield is determined by these factors, which affect the direction of victory. With a walkie-talkie, the chances of winning will be greater.

"Platoon leader, let's try it out and see if it's really that far." Qin Yuanxin was a little impatient.

"Okay!" He Ming nodded.

Then the two began to test the communication range of the walkie-talkies. Half an hour later, they finished the test. Their eyes were full of surprise, and they couldn't put the two walkie-talkies down.

"Battalion Commander, who made this walkie-talkie?!" Qin Yuanxin asked curiously. Who has the ability to make such a powerful thing?

"It was done by the technicians from the arsenal in our base." Li Jin did not hide it, these were all his own people.

"They are really amazing. They can come up with such great things." He Ming sighed. No wonder the battalion commander always said that science and technology can make the country prosperous. It turns out he was right.

"What? It was the blueprint drawn by the battalion commander, and they made it according to the blueprint. If it weren't for the battalion commander's blueprint, it's not certain whether they could have the walkie-talkie." Tian Xiaoqi couldn't help but say.

But he knew that the battalion commander had locked himself in the room for a long time in order to draw the blueprint.

"Although I drew the blueprint, they were the ones who made it. I just provided an idea, and we cannot erase their contributions at will." Li Jin reminded.

If it weren't for these technicians, it would probably take him a long time to make it himself.

"The battalion commander is right. I was wrong." Tian Xiaoqi admitted his mistake decisively.

"It's okay. Remember in the future that you must respect the technical personnel in the arsenal and stop saying things that are detrimental to unity. Do you understand?" Li Jin reminded.

"I understand." Tian Xiaoqi nodded. He would never say such things again.

"Battalion Commander, I thought you were involved as well, and I was right." Qin Yuanxin said with a smile. When he got the walkie-talkie, he thought it must be related to the battalion commander.

"This thing is so good, let's try it out, Battalion Commander." He Ming also said.

"Haven't you done the experiment?" Li Jin knew what He Ming was going to say next and said this deliberately.

"This is just a test. Let's go fight the Japanese. With just our group of people, it's no problem for us to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in an entire county. It's a good opportunity to try out the effect of this walkie-talkie!" He Ming said hurriedly.

"Yes, this requires actual combat. Otherwise, how do you know whether this thing is useful or not?!" Qin Yuanxin's eyes lit up after hearing this.

"Don't I know what you are planning? You just came back with great difficulty and want to kill a few Japanese devils to satisfy your own desire." Li Jin said with a smile.

Testing whether the walkie-talkies were usable was fake; the real purpose was to kill the Japanese.

"Hehe, the battalion commander still found out." Qin Yuanxin said with a smile.

"Okay, when we get back from the regiment headquarters, I will take you to kill some Japanese devils." Li Jin agreed. He Ming and Qin Yuanxin and the others had few opportunities to fight, so it was time to let them fight and get a feel for it.

"But let me be frank with you. If your combat effectiveness declines, don't blame me for training you well when I return." Li Jin immediately threatened.

"Don't worry, Battalion Commander. Our combat effectiveness has not dropped. We are all training very hard." Qin Yuanxin said hurriedly. They dare not be lazy, otherwise their bodies will not be able to keep up if they do not train for a long time.

"Us too." He Ming said quickly. He was the busiest one and did not slack off at all.

"That's better." Li Jin smiled.

Everyone started chatting again, talking about previous battles and who killed more Japanese devils.

.........

At this time, the headquarters of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong was also chatting with Zhao Gang in the room.

"The special operations battalion has too many people to recruit, but Li Jin doesn't seem to have enough management staff. What do you think? Should we lend some people to the special operations battalion?" Li Yunlong said.

The special operations battalion will recruit 5,000 people in the future, and there are too many vacancies, so he thinks he should help Li Jin.

"But the problem is, we also need people for subsequent development. If we lend it to Li Jin, we will be short of manpower." Zhao Gang frowned. He naturally wanted to help Li Jin, but they also lacked manpower.

"That's true. If we send too few people, they won't be able to help. If we send too many people, we'll be in trouble. It's really difficult to deal with." Li Yunlong sighed.

It’s not that he didn’t want to help Li Jin, but the New 1st Regiment was also short of manpower.

"What should I do? It would be great if Li Jin would ask the brigade commander for the person, but there's no way this kid would ask." Li Yunlong fell into deep thought.

"How about we lend some people to Li Jin first, and then you go and ask the brigade commander if he can transfer some people to the New 1st Regiment. We have just made a great contribution, and it is impossible for the brigade commander to not help with such a small favor." Zhao Gang suggested.

Li Jin would not ask the brigade commander. That's easy. Just let Li Yunlong ask the brigade commander. Li Yunlong is thick-skinned anyway. By then, the shortage of people on both sides will be solved.
