"Then it's settled, one hundred and fifty veterans and one hundred and fifty new recruits, you guys, listen to me. If they suffer heavy casualties, I will kill you," the brigade commander threatened.
"If there are heavy casualties and you kill me, I won't hesitate," Li Jin guaranteed.
"When you go to Quyang County, in addition to being careful of Japanese devils, you must also be careful of bandits. There are many bandits in the mountains over Quyang County.
These bandits are He kills people without batting an eye," the political commissar reminded.
The bandits over there are not good people, they commit all kinds of crimes including burning, killing, looting and looting.
"Well, there are bandits over there." Li Jin became interested.
"Well, there are more than a dozen groups of bandits, nearly two thousand people." The political commissar nodded.
"In this case, it seems that my plan may have to change." Li Jin showed a smile.
"What do you want to do?" the political commissar said, "Wait a minute, you don't want to recruit those bandits?"
"They want to recruit them." Li Jin sneered.
Those bandits were stained with the blood of ordinary people. How could Li Jin recruit them?
"If you don't recruit them, you still want to kill them directly," said the political commissar. "There are quite a few bandits. If you kill them directly, there will be some losses."
Since Li If Jin didn't plan to recruit, he must have planned to destroy the bandits, but there were quite a few bandits. If there was a real fight, he was worried whether Li Jin's plan would be affected.
"Why destroy it? There is no need to use so much cannon fodder. This garbage can also play some role." Li Jin said.
The political commissar said speechlessly, "You still said it's not recruitment. If you don't recruit those bandits, how can they be cannon fodder for you."
"If they are integrated, then they are no longer cannon fodder. I will use another method." An identity to deal with these bandits," Li Jin explained.
"Another identity" The political commissar looked at him in confusion. When did Li Jin have another identity?
"Don't forget, I was a bandit before. Even though I was pretending, I naturally have to go as a bandit. I will beat them until they become cannon fodder," Li Jin said, " How could those bandits fight the Japanese unless they were killed to the point of despair?
As for using the Eighth Route Army to collect these pests who have stained the blood of the people, that would be an embarrassment to the Eighth Route Army."
He They would not do such a thing, unless those bandits had not killed ordinary people, otherwise, there was only one word of death for the fate of those bandits
"Will something go wrong?" the political commissar was worried.
"Political Commissar, don't worry, I know what's going on and I will handle it well," Li Jin said.
"As long as you have an idea, when do you plan to set off?" the brigade commander asked.
“The sooner the better.”
“Then tomorrow, you can just go to the new group to take people with you. I will greet him in advance, and you can do it tonight. Have a good rest," the brigade commander said.
Li Jin has been rushing for so longOn the way, I went to attack and kill the Japanese again, and I was probably very tired.
"Okay," Li Jin nodded and said, "I estimate that it will take nearly a month to deal with the actions against the bandits. When the time comes, I will send you a message when we take action against Quyang County. Yes,
I hope you can discuss it with the Jinsui Army."
"That's natural," the brigade commander nodded.
"By the way, I have something else to tell you." Li Jin said and took out a map.
"This is the map of Taiyuan. The places marked on it are the troops of the Japanese branch." The political commissar recognized the map at a glance as being from Taiyuan.
I even saw the red dot marked on the map, which was obviously where the Japanese troops were divided.
"Yes, in the past few months, in addition to recruiting soldiers for training, my people have also learned everything about the intelligence there." Li Jin said.
He wants to do big things in Taiyuan, so how can he do it if he doesn’t find out the situation of the Japanese there.
"Actually, even if you don't ask me to come back this time, I will still come back because I have something to report to you." Li Jin continued.
"What's the matter?" the political commissar asked, feeling vaguely that Li Jin might be making another big move.
"Look, this is the Jiaoling Mountains. In the mountains, there is a Hengshi Mine where nearly 2,500 Japanese soldiers are stationed." Li Jin pointed to the Jiaoling Mountains on the map. position said.
"You are sure you are right that there are more than two thousand Japanese soldiers stationed in a mine." The brigade commander was surprised, and even the political commissar was very suspicious.
"That's right, there are indeed more than two thousand Japanese." Li Jin nodded and said with certainty that the information collected by Lu Changgong was correct.
"Hiss" The brigade commander and the political commissar couldn't help but gasped. It was not simple that there could be so many Japanese in a mine.
"Is this mine a gold mine? Otherwise, how could the little devil send so many people to guard it?" the brigade commander said.
Except for gold mines, he really couldn’t think of any other mine that the Japanese would value so much that they would need to send more than two thousand people to guard it.
"It shouldn't be a gold mine. According to the information I found, there were not so many Japs in that mine originally. They only increased in the past month.
And not long ago , a group of Japanese escorted a car of people into the Hengshi Mine. As expected, the reason why the mine increased its troop strength was probably because of this car of people.
< p>I suspect that there may be a big shot of the Japs in this car. Otherwise, the Japs would not have sent so many people to protect him." Li Jin told the information he knew."Is it possible that the big shot is a member of the Japanese royal family?" the brigade commander said. The clan status of the Japanese emperor is still very high.
"I think it's very possible." Li Jin nodded.
"You're not just talking about this," the brigade commander said. Li Jin probably wanted to attack this mine.
"Of course it doesn't stop. The leader of the 129th Regiment came to me before and said that we would join forces to attack the Beishan Mine and rescue the people in the Hengshi Mine." Li Jin said.
The leader of the 129th Regiment came to him just for this reason.
"It is our duty to rescue the people." The brigade commander nodded. With so many people, we should rescue them.
"Of course, besides attacking the Beishan Mine, I have another plan." Li Jin pointed to another place on the map and said, "There is an arsenal here.
The number of people is about 1,200. Once something happens at the Beishan Mine, the Japs from this arsenal will immediately reinforce them.
So, in addition to attacking the Beishan Mine, I also want to capture this arsenal< /p>
Once we succeed, the combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army will definitely rise sharply. Even if we fail, we will not be at a loss as long as we rescue the people in Hengshi Mine."
The brigade commander and political commissar were careful. After thinking about it, I think it is feasible.
"Now we have to attack Quyang County. By then, I'm worried that we won't have that many manpower to go." said the brigade commander.
Once Quyang County takes action, he cannot guarantee how many people will be left in the 386th Brigade.
"When the time comes, the brigade commander can just send the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment. I have trained a thousand soldiers, plus more than a thousand soldiers from the 129th Regiment. I am confident We can conquer the Hengshi Mine," Li Jin said.
The New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment add up to more than 6,000 people, and the 129th Regiment and the special operations battalion are added to the total, that is more than 8,000 people. It is easy to capture the Hengshi Mine.
"You kid, you are really restless." After finalizing the matter, the brigade commander couldn't help but said that Li Jin could indeed sort things out even there.
"I can't help it. I will always be willing to do anything that makes the Japanese unhappy." Li Jin said with a smile.
"Then let's wait for the matter here in Quyang County, and then deal with the matter at Hengshi Mine. It would be best if we can capture the arsenal as well," the brigade commander said.
What the Eighth Route Army lacks most now is good weapons to equip its troops. It is indeed a great thing to be able to capture the Japanese arsenal.
"I will try my best to capture the arsenal as well." Li Jin said.
"It seems that the time for you to officially join the party will have to be delayed." The political commissar said.
Originally, the purpose of letting Li Jin come back this time was to let Li Jin join the party early. However, so many things happened that they really did not expect.
"It's okay. Actually, I'm not in a hurry." Li Jin said. In fact, for him, it would be best to join the party as early as possible.
But when he thought of the villagers who were massacred by the Japanese, he couldn’t think about it so much. The fastest way to avenge those villagers was as soon as possible
"It seems that we can only wait for Quyang County Let’s talk about it now.” The political commissar sighed.
In fact, joining the party early has the advantage of joining the party early. Li Jin is from their brigade, so the political commissar naturally hopes that Li Jin can join the party early.
"Now that the plan has beenIt’s settled, I’ll go and rest first. "Li Jin said and left the headquarters.
As soon as he went out, a young soldier came up to him, Qin Yuanxin.
"Batalion Commander, you are back. "
"Well, how about it? Nothing happened during this time, right?" Li Jin nodded and said.
"Nothing happened, everything is quite peaceful. "Qin Yuanxin said.
"Then protect the brigade commander and the others and don't let them get hurt. "Li Jin warned.
"By the way, battalion commander, are you still leaving when you come back this time?" Qin Yuanxin asked. The battalion commander ran to Taiyuan, which made him a little worried. If the battalion commander It’s good to stay at the base of the New Regiment.
“Of course, when I come back this time, I have something to deal with, and I will go to Taiyuan after that. "Li Jin said.
"That's it. "Qin Yuanxin nodded helplessly after hearing this.
"Okay, you can reach the realm first. "Li Jin said and left. He did not go to rest but went to find the children immediately.
In the yard, a dozen children were happily playing with the eagle catching the chickens. Game.
Brother Zhu and Xiao Wu were watching, and an eight-year-old boy was sitting on the threshold in a daze.
“Captain Li, you are here. . "Seeing Li Jin come in, Brother Zhu and Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward.
"Well, are everything settled? "Li Jin nodded and said.
"The soldiers have arranged a place for us. Well, will we live here in the future?" Brother Zhu asked.
He is very concerned about where he will live in the future. He can say that he can survive after all, but these children are still young and he really doesn’t know how to deal with them.
“Don’t worry, the children will be in the future. They should all be able to live here. Are you sure you want to join the Eighth Route Army?" Li Jin asked.
"Yes, I want to join the Eighth Route Army. "Brother Zhu nodded.
"I also want to participate. "Xiao Wu also shouted.
Li Jin looked at him and said, "You can't do it, you're not old enough. "
"I am fifteen, why is it not enough? "Xiao Wu was unconvinced.
"You have to be sixteen years old. "Li Jin said.
"Can't you be accommodating? Let me join the army too, and I will fight the Japanese too. "Xiao Wu said.
"No. "Li Jin shook his head and firmly disagreed.
Xiao Wu was very disappointed when he saw this. He also wanted to join the army.
"I tell you, if you want to join the army, just wait until next year. Well, Zhuzi has joined the army. Someone should take care of these children.
If you join the army too, who will look after them in case something happens to them. "Li Jin said.
"Yes, Xiaowu, you should keep an eye on the children. These are the only children left in the village now. "Brother Zhu also persuaded me.
"Okay. "Xiao Wu nodded helplessly.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was no longer thinking about joining the army, Li Jin also changed his gaze and looked at the yardThe playful children showed a smile.
It’s better for them to be carefree and don’t need so many worries. As for the worries, let them, adults, bear them.
Looking away, he saw the little boy sitting on the threshold. Li Jin walked over and sat with the little boy.
"Why don't you go play with them?"
"Not in the mood." The little boy replied.
Li Jin patted the little boy on the shoulder and said, "You didn't tell them about it."
"No, I'm not a three-year-old child. If I did, Wouldn't it make them unhappy?" the little boy said.
Looking at this sensible child, Li Jin was very worried. This child was so sensible, so sensible that it made people feel distressed.
"Since you don't want to make them sad, you should play with them. Aren't you derailed by them now?
What if they suspect it? Moreover, your parents If I knew you were like this, you wouldn't be happy.
They have all passed away. Do you still want to worry about your deceased parents? This is not what a sensible child should do,
Listen to me and go play with them." Li Jin patted the little boy on the shoulder.
"Will my parents feel relieved if I play with them?" The little boy looked at Li Jin, his eyes full of expectation.
"Well, that's natural." Li Jin nodded and lied.
"Okay, I'll play with them." The little boy got up and walked towards the children.
"I'll play too."
"Then you will be an eagle."
"Okay."
In the evening, After eating with the children, Li Jin ran to a hilltop outside the village and sat down.
In the village, every household erupted in smoke, and streams of white smoke rose into the air. From time to time, the sounds of birds were heard.
In an open space not far away, a group of young soldiers were practicing bayonet fighting. They were wearing old military uniforms, their faces were covered with sweat, their eyes were full of perseverance, and they were shouting, "Kill, kill,"
p>
These soldiers are all new recruits. Many of them are around sixteen or seventeen years old, very young, and the hair on the corners of their mouths has not yet receded.
"The posture must be standard, the movements must be unified, and you must endure hardship and loneliness, only then can you become a real soldier." In front of the new recruits, a veteran was scolding these soldiers.
When he was still about to say more, veteran Wu Maosheng suddenly saw Li Jin sitting on the top of a hill.
"Okay, that's all for today. Let's go back and eat." Wu Maosheng dismissed the team and trotted to Li Jin. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
