Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Commander, rest assured. As long as that division is transferred here, I will arrange for them to fight as soon as possible and target the Eighth Route Army.

In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army is relatively weak, and their weapons and equipment are quite backward, so it is perfect for training soldiers." Itaheng Seishiro said hurriedly.

In his opinion, although the Eighth Route Army had obtained a lot of weapons, they lacked resources and the soldiers' combat level was not high.

"No, no, no, it's not a good idea to pick them. It's better to fight the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Although the Eighth Route Army looks weak in terms of combat effectiveness,
But they have strong organizational skills, and those soldiers and ordinary people are helping them. It is not appropriate to select them for training now. "The Japanese commander gave a different opinion.

If the Eighth Route Army was really that easy to deal with, they would not have suffered repeated defeats. Therefore, in terms of training targets, it is safer to choose the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

After all, they had fought against the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army before and achieved good results without suffering major casualties, so choosing the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army as the target of attack would be a better way to train their troops.

"The commander is right." Itahira Seishirō hastily agreed. In comparison, the Eighth Route Army posed a greater threat to them, otherwise they would not have gone to so much trouble to launch a big plan to target them.

"Moreover, I suspect that the Northeastern Army was in league with the Eighth Route Army when the airport was attacked this time.
So we have to be more careful in selecting them as targets, and once the new divisions have combat experience, we can close the net over there!" the Japanese commander continued.

In its view, the threat posed by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was far less than that of the Eighth Route Army. If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had not appeared before, it would even have thought that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was no longer here.

"Understood!" Itagaki Seishiro responded.

"By the way, I guess the missing pilots were captured by the Eighth Route Army. I heard that prisoners are treated well over there, so the safety of the pilots is guaranteed.
I just don’t know what conditions they will put forward in order to release the people. I hope they don’t ask for too much, otherwise…” The Japanese commander stopped talking after that.

If they really offer a sky-high price, we will never let them succeed even if it means sacrificing those pilots.

"From the current situation, I guess the Eighth Route Army is most likely going to exchange prisoners with us and obtain some supplies. After all, we still have quite a few of their prisoners in our hands." Itahira Seishirō began to analyze.

The conditions proposed by the Eighth Route Army must include the exchange of prisoners.

"Well, that should be correct. How many of their prisoners do we have now?!" the Japanese commander couldn't help but ask.

"There are about three hundred people. There were more before, but many have been tortured to death. Some of the remaining ones have been sent for experiments. Do you want to bring them back?!" Itagaki Seishirō asked.

They had originally intended to get some useful information from the prisoners they had captured, but they did not expect that most of them were very stubborn and did not reveal any useful information at all.

"Since it has been sent for experiments, let's keep it and don't delay the progress of the experiment." said the Japanese commander. In his opinion, bacterial experiments are still very important.

"Commander, I didn't finish. Although they have been sent over, they have not been used yet. Besides, there is no shortage of these prisoners for the experimental subjects over there.
Should we bring them back? If we have more prisoners, the Eighth Route Army won't dare to ask for more supplies. What do you think? "Ita Hirata Seishiro added.

The purpose of the Eighth Route Army capturing their pilots was definitely to exchange prisoners, so if they had more prisoners, they could save a lot of supplies.

"What you said makes some sense. Let's have someone bring back the prisoners who are going to be used for the experiment!" The Japanese commander thought about it and finally agreed.

Experimental materials are everywhere, so we don't need to worry about a few prisoners. Just release them. Giving them fewer supplies can slow down the development of the Eighth Route Army.

"Hi! I'll make a phone call and give the order soon." said Itagaki Seishirō.

"Mr. Banheng, you have to pay attention to the next actions and don't let me down again. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious. Do you understand?!" The Japanese commander said in a cold tone.

"Understand, I understand! I will never let you down!" Itaheng Seishiro broke out in a cold sweat.

"This Northeastern Army is really a bit troublesome. If we don't get rid of them, our operation will not be so smooth. The reason I transferred two divisions to you is so that you can take precautions against the Northeastern Army while targeting the Eighth Route Army. It would be best if we can annihilate them.
If we cannot annihilate them, we will destroy them and curb their development. This unit is small in number and mainly relies on cooperating with the larger forces.

As long as we can inflict heavy damage on the Eighth Route Army, it will be difficult for them to get back on their feet. The Japanese commander felt that this army was becoming more and more troublesome.

"Commander, you are right!" Itagaki Seishirō said quickly.

"Okay, go do your thing! As for the Osaka Division, I will transfer them away once they finish what they need to do." The Japanese commander hung up the phone without waiting for Itakuni Seishirō to reply.

"Huh..." Itahene Seishirō took a deep breath and put down the phone. He reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This call was undoubtedly the most nervous one for him.

"It's a good thing that the Osaka Division, a lagging unit, is going to be transferred away." Itagaki Seishirō smiled.

He didn't want to command this useless army. It's not that this army had no combat effectiveness. The other side's training results were still very good. But there was a group of people who didn't want to fight and used excuses to avoid it.

To be honest, if this unit could fight as bravely as other divisions, it would at least change a lot of situations.

Just like when the Osaka Division was asked to intercept the Chinese troops, but the Osaka Division let their men escape, causing the battle plan to go wrong.

After calming down, Itahune Seishiro picked up the phone and called the laboratory.

"I'm Itakune Seishiro."

"Division Commander, what do you want?!"

"Let Commander Nakamura-kun answer the phone."

"Hi!"

After Itakune Seishirō waited for a while, the laboratory commander answered the phone.

"Division Commander! I'm Nakamura."

"What happened to those Eighth Route Army prisoners who were sent to the laboratory a few days ago?!" asked Itagaki Seishirō.

"Reporting to the division commander, I plan to conduct plague bacteria experiments on those prisoners tomorrow," Major Nakamura replied.

"Don't use them for experiments for now. Send these prisoners back to me immediately. I still have a use for them." Itahira Seishirō gave the order hurriedly, and he breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't use these prisoners for experiments.

"Ah?! Division Commander, this..." Upon hearing this, Major Nakamura was a little unresponsive. Since he was going to take it back, why sent it over again?

"Don't ask so many questions. Just follow the orders. As for the new experimental subjects, I will have someone send them to your laboratory.

Your mission is to develop useful bacterial bombs so that we can kill the enemy at a lower cost on the battlefield, understand?" Itaheng Seishirō scolded. In fact, bacterial bombs have indeed been developed, but they cannot be used on airplanes. The high temperature generated by the explosion of bacterial bombs will kill bacteria, which is very troublesome.

"Hey! I'll send these prisoners back immediately." Major Nakamura replied.

"By the way, the location of the laboratory hasn't been exposed to them, right?!" Itahira Seishirō asked. Ever since the accident in the laboratory set up in the mine, they have found a more hidden place to use as the laboratory. He doesn't want any more accidents to happen in the laboratory.

Last time, the laboratory in the mine was destroyed by the enemy, and a lot of experimental data was lost. Fortunately, they had backup data, otherwise the experiment would have to start all over again, which would waste more time.

"Don't worry, division commander. Every prisoner sent here has been blindfolded. It's impossible for them to know the location of the experiment!" said Major Nakamura.

"That's good. Okay, go and do it." Itahiro Seishirō hung up the phone. If the captives knew the location of the laboratory, they would have to stay in the laboratory forever.

After all, conducting bacterial experiments on human bodies is not allowed internationally. Although they are not afraid of those countries, they do not want to make too many enemies now.

.........

Brigade headquarters, in the communications room.

The chief picked up the phone and called the boss.

The call was answered quickly.

"Boss, it's me!" said the leader.

"It was Li Jin who blew up the airport, right?!" The boss's laughter came from the phone. He knew the news early this morning.

"Yes, boss. Moreover, Li Jin has captured more than 40 Japanese pilots. These pilots are very valuable and can be used to exchange for our soldiers." The leader quickly informed them of the matter.

"What?! This kid is really good. I thought he would not leave any survivors. I didn't expect that I underestimated him." The boss' voice was slightly surprised.

Li Jin was asked to capture prisoners at first. Although he later reported that he failed to do so, he knew the inside story, so he turned a blind eye.

You can't really deal with Li Jin just for a few Japanese devils. Besides, the excuse Li Jin made at the time was indeed reasonable and not too outrageous. Otherwise, Li Jin would have been skinned alive if he didn't die.

"I was a little surprised too. It seems that he still remembers this, but he never had the chance. This time happened to be an opportunity, so he captured the prisoner." The leader also explained.

If ordinary Japanese soldiers were captured as prisoners, their value would not be great and the probability of being able to exchange them for our own soldiers would not be high, but capturing pilots was different.

The materials needed to train a pilot are far greater than those for an ordinary soldier, so it is definitely possible to capture pilots and exchange them for prisoners with the Japanese.

"This kid seems to have changed a lot since you promoted him and gave him several thousand conscription quotas." The boss's tone was smiling.

He is still very happy with Li Jin's current growth, which means that Li Jin will be able to take on more important positions in the future.

"Yes, if we let this kid lead a team of a few hundred people, he will never grow up. Now that he is leading a team of more than 6,000 people, it is obviously different.

He had more things to consider. However, apart from Li Jin, his subordinate Xu Qingfeng was also quite capable and worth training.

Boss, I think that when Li Jin comes back from Yan'an, we should let Xu Qingfeng go to Yan'an to study as well. What do you think? ! ” The chief mentioned Xu Qingfeng.

He had seen that Xu Qingfeng had some abilities before, but later he realized that he had underestimated Xu Qingfeng.

The main reason was that Xu Qingfeng was following Li Jin and was overshadowed by Li Jin's brilliance, so he was ignored.

"Since you think he can be trained well, then this person must be good.

Ding Wei from the 28th Regiment is also quite good. How about letting the two of them form a team and report to Yan'an together in April or May? ! "The boss said with a smile.

Ding Wei is quite capable, so it would be a good opportunity for him to go with Xu Qingfeng so that he can have someone to look after him.

"I think it's a good idea. Ding Wei is indeed very capable. It's a good opportunity for these two to communicate more." The chief agreed after hearing this.

In fact, in his opinion, Xu Qingfeng's ability should be stronger. Among his peers, except for Li Jin, Xu Qingfeng's ability is also among the best.

"That's settled then!" the boss made the decision decisively.

"By the way, boss, I have something else to tell you. The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army sent a telegram to the Special Operations Regiment, saying that they wanted to join forces with the Special Operations Regiment to capture Fucheng. I agreed." The leader continued.

"How much did Li Jin offer?!" The boss understood what was going on as soon as he heard it and asked.

"He offered 150,000 oceans, and the final transaction price was 145,000 oceans." The leader said the amount!

"Good boy, you dare to make an offer. However, there is a problem with this transaction price. The Shanxi Suiyuan Army should not agree to it, unless they know that Li Jin's manpower has increased and they want to have a good relationship with the other party." The boss has deduced the purpose of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army just by hearing the transaction amount.

Because the strength displayed by Li Jin was becoming more and more terrifying, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was already frightened. In addition, Li Jin had a good relationship with them, which made them even more panicked.

"Yes, Li Jin offered this price and was just waiting for the other party to bargain, but after the other party bargained once, he chose to agree." The leader responded.

The boss is worthy of being the boss. He analyzed the matter easily.

"If I'm not mistaken, they will probably let us know, intentionally or unintentionally, that they have cooperated with Li Jin." The boss continued, but with a hint of smile in his voice.

There is no need to wait to see what will happen next. We can guess that the other party does not want Li Jin to get too close to them. At the very least, after they have a good relationship, Li Jin will not help either side.

"They will definitely do that, but they don't know now that Li Jin is actually our man. If they knew, they would probably be so angry that they die.
I tried my best to prevent Li Jin from leaning towards us, but when I turned around, I found that Li Jin was always on our side. "The chief couldn't help laughing when he said the latter part. He almost wanted to see the other party know the truth.
