"Batalion Commander, we are pretty safe here now!" Tian Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something. The Japs don't have so much energy to cause trouble now.
"Yes." Li Jin nodded.
"Then the people who left the village before can return to the base area!" Tian Xiaoqi said quickly, with a somewhat excited tone.
Because of the Japs, villagers in several villages were forced to leave here and live in other places for safety.
But now that it is safe here, can’t we let those villagers come back to live? !
Although the new place is quite good for the villagers, they prefer to return to their own homes.
"In comparison, the place where they live now is safer. Even if they come back, they will have to leave again later, which is too troublesome." Li Jin shook his head.
It’s not that he hasn’t considered this issue, it’s just that the location where the villagers are now is safer than many places.
The Japanese will not run into the mountains where the villagers live.
If the villagers come back, they can only live in peace for a period of time. Later, when the Japs calm down, they will still be a great threat to the villagers. It is better to let the villagers stay in their new residence.
"That's true." Tian Xiaoqi gave up the idea after hearing this.
"When we get back from the brigade headquarters, we will go and see how the villagers are doing." Li Jin also felt that it was time to go and see the villagers. After all, he had been away for a long time.
"Okay!" Tian Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with what Li Jin said.
"I don't know what our base has become now. There are probably spider webs everywhere." Tian Xiaoqi said with emotion.
From the time the villagers left, to the time the special operations camp left the base area, there was no one left in their military camp.
Because there are no people, the New Regiment has not arranged manpower at the base here. After all, the villagers have moved away, so there is not much meaning in sending people here.
A place where no one lives is equivalent to a lack of popularity, and the house will quickly become dilapidated.
"Probably." Li Jin could also guess the situation at the military camp. There might be dust and cobwebs everywhere, and the houses were probably in tatters.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Jin and the others arrived at the village entrance of the regiment headquarters.
Li Yunlong also deliberately led people to wait at the entrance of the village, which made Li Jin a little overwhelmed.
"Leader, political commissar, you can just wait for me in the conference room. Why did you come out to pick me up in person?" Li Jin said.
"This is not to pick up our great hero. Let's go back and chat." Li Yunlong smiled and stepped forward, put his arm around Li Jin's shoulders and walked towards the village.
Soon, Li Jin entered the conference room.
"Have you almost arranged your affairs over there?!" As soon as he sat down, Li YunLong then asked.
"Yes, it's all done." Li Jin nodded in response.
"That's fine. In fact, there is no one who doesn't die in a war. Can it be called a war if one doesn't die?! The best destination for soldiers is the battlefield. Being able to die on the battlefield is the honor of every soldier. , Be proud of them!" Li Yunlong said these words.
Actually, he was mainly worried that Li Jin had not figured it out, so he wanted to use this to comfort Li Jin not to be too sad.
"Captain, I know all this. I'm fine." Li Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew what Li Yunlong meant.
"Damn it, I'm telling you, you're not that fragile. How could you be so depressed because of this?" Li Yunlong also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Li Jin, you should personally deliver the death notices of those soldiers to their families." Zhao Gang on the side spoke and began to speculate.
"Yes." Li Jin nodded and admitted.
"In the future, if this happens again, just let others send it away. After all, watching the soldiers' families cry will make me even more sad." Zhao Gang hesitated and warned.
They may not feel particularly sad for the sacrifice of the soldiers, but they cannot turn a blind eye when they see the families of the soldiers crying because of the death of their loved ones.
"It's okay, I can bear it!" Li Jin smiled. No matter what, those soldiers would follow him. If the soldiers died in battle, he would also send them their death notices. go back.
"Okay." Zhao Gang didn't say anything more after hearing this.
"Li Jin, you must have heard a lot about the Jinsui Army on your way back, right?!" Li Yunlong decisively changed the subject.
"I heard that the common people's rumors became more and more outrageous, saying that the Jinsui Army killed fifty or sixty thousand Japanese, and some said they killed hundreds of thousands of Japanese." Li Jin recalled what he heard. Those rumors, I simply don’t know what to say.
If this can really kill hundreds of thousands of Japs, then the Japs will probably jump up in panic. Let alone hundreds of thousands of Japs, that is 50,000 or 60,000 Japs. All are extremely huge losses.
"Yes, even Chu Yunfei's third regiment was mentioned, but no one mentioned our new regiment. In other words, people over there didn't even know that we were involved." Li Yunlong said Thinking of this, I felt a little angry.
Their new regiment traveled long distances to support them and paid a heavy price. If it hadn't been for them, could the Japanese have been completely wiped out? ! Just dream.
“Commander, you don’t need to be too angry, it’s okay as long as we know. Besides, for this credit, the new regiment can at least get an army commendation!
Moreover, it is not a sure thing to go to the Yan'an newspaper! Besides, the Jinsui Army will basically be targeted by the Japanese.
They are still in big trouble, and we are the party that benefits the most. , We have to let them enjoy their reputation more." Li Jin laughed after saying that.
“HaHa, I feel much better after hearing what you said. "Li Yunlong laughed twice when he heard this. What Li Jin said does make sense.
"The Jinsui Army has already published it in the newspaper. Come, let me show you how they brag. , how to lure the enemy deep, surround the Japanese and annihilate them all. "Li Yunlong took out a newspaper and handed it to Li Jin to read!
After Li Jin took it, he also started to read it. The front page of the newspaper was that the Jinsui Army had annihilated 20,000 Japanese soldiers, and the top page was facing the Jinsui Army. There were a lot of comments about this battle!
“You see, they are really good at putting money on their faces, and they can tell the truth about everything. "Li Yunlong said.
"Well, the article is well written, but it's a little false. "Li Jin nodded. Although the newspaper exaggerated the credit, the other party did make a great contribution.
"You can sleep here tonight and then go to the brigade headquarters! "Li Yunlong suggested that he also wanted to have a drink with Li Jin.
"Forget it, I'll go to the brigade headquarters to finish the matter early, and when I come back, I'll have a drink with you. "Li Jin declined, and then asked to have two drinks with Li Yunlong.
"Okay, let's have a nice drink when you come back. "Li Yunlong doesn't force it. After all, it's more important for Li Jin to go to the brigade headquarters. As for wine, he can drink it anytime.
" Speaking of which, now that this task is completed, it's time for your base to develop well, right? ! "Li Yunlong has not forgotten that the brigade commander gave Li Jin 5,000 recruitment quotas.
That's 5,000 people. If you add the original 2,000 people, it will be 7,000 people.< /p>
According to the standard of a regular regiment of 1,500 people, the troops under Li Jin's command are close to two brigades.
"This is natural. The Japanese have suffered heavy losses now. , there are many places they can't take care of. It's a good opportunity to recruit soldiers, and I won't let it go! "Li Jin is naturally not a fool. If there is an opportunity to develop a base, he must seize the opportunity.
"If you have any difficulties over there, just ask me and I will do my best to help you. "Li Yunlong also gave support.
"Don't worry, commander, if I need it, I will definitely speak up. After all, the new regiment is also the mother's family of the special operations battalion. "Li Jin said with a smile.
"I like to hear this! "Li Yunlong was very happy after hearing this.
"Captain, it's getting late, I should go out to the brigade headquarters! "Li Jin glanced at the time on his watch. It was already half past three. He had to rush to the brigade headquarters.
"Okay, I'll prepare some horses for you to help you go faster. "Li Yunlong also stood up and immediately ordered Monk Wei to prepare horses for Li Jin.
Li Yunlong and Li Jin walked side by side and walked out of the conference room.
"Li Jin, do you feel it? I feel that the current new regiment still lacks a soldier. "Li Yunlong said as he walked.
"Commander, you are not talking about the lack of cavalry, are you? ! "Li Jin glanced at Li Yunlong and said after hearing this.
The current new regiment even has an artillery company, with light and heavy machine guns and various firepowers.There is no shortage, only cavalry is missing.
"Damn it, you're such a good guy, I thought of it as soon as I thought about it!" Li Yunlong was very happy, chatting with Li Jin would save him energy.
“Commander, you are short of cavalry, it’s useless for you to tell me. If you say you are short of guns or cannons, I will have someone give them to you right away. Come here, there is nothing I can do about this horse." Li Jin thought Li Yunlong wanted him to get horses for the new group.
"Who asked you to do it? I just want you to attract attention and see if the Japanese or puppet troops have any horses that can be used to train cavalry." Li Yunlong said, There is no way for him to let people explore here alone. He can't wait for the horses to come.
So, I also want Li Jin’s intelligence personnel to help me find a place where there are horses and can be easily defeated.
Of course, horses must be used to train cavalry. Not all horses can be used by cavalry. After all, some horses can only be used to pull goods.
"Okay, I will ask someone to pay attention to this matter when I get back!" Li Jin agreed, this is not a big deal.
"I'm waiting for your good news." Li Yunlong smiled.
The group soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
Li Yunlong asked someone to prepare twelve horses for Li Jin, just enough for each of them.
"Commander, political commissar, I'll see you later." Li Jin got on the horse, said something to Li Yunlong and the others, and then rode away.
"Li Jin seems to be in good spirits. There should be no problem." Zhao Gang nodded.
"After all, he is from our new group, how can he be bad." Li Yunlong started to sneer, but Li Jin was more emotional.
"Old Li, if you ask Li Jin to help find the horses, you are not afraid that he will use them first after he finds them." Zhao Gang remembered that Li Yunlong asked Li Jin to help find the horses.
"How is it possible? Li Jin is not that kind of person." Li Yunlong responded confidently.
"It's impossible to tell. There are quite a few people behind Li Jin. They don't lack guns either, they just lack cavalry." Zhao Gang said with a serious face.
After hearing this, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought for a while. Yes, Li Jin seems to be short of cavalry now. He asked Li Jin to find horses, wasn't he also asking Li Jin to form a cavalry force.
"No, you are scaring me! Damn it, Lao Zhao, you have become bad too!" Li Yunlong reacted.
"Haha, didn't I learn this from you?" Zhao Gang laughed twice and walked towards the village.
…………
Around eight o’clock in the evening.
The stars were dense and the moon was bright. On the road, Li Jin and the others were galloping on horseback. At this time, they were only five or six miles away from the brigade headquarters.
When he was about three miles away from the brigade headquarters, Li Jin slowed down because there were soldiers from the brigade headquarters standing guard in front of him.
Li Jingang wanted to take out his ID.
"Battle Commander Li, you go directlyThat's fine, no need to bother. "The veteran on guard spoke, because he recognized Li Jin, and the brigade commander also told someone that as long as Li Jin comes over, he can be released directly without checking his ID.
"Okay. Thanks. "After Li Jin thanked him, he continued to ride forward.
Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the brigade village and asked the soldiers to take the horses to the stables to keep an eye on them. By the way, they fed the horses some fodder. After such a long journey, After a long journey, the horse was exhausted.
Li Jin entered the village and went straight to the conference room.
When he came to the door of the conference room, he saw the former member of the special operations company. , also quickly saluted Li Jin.
"Company Commander! "Qin Yuanxin shouted, and he was very happy to see Li Jin coming to the brigade headquarters again.
"Long time no see, aren't you lazy? ! "Li Jin smiled and asked.
"Don't worry, company commander, we are all serious about protecting the brigade commander! "Qin Yuanxin answered seriously.
"That's fine. We need to protect the safety of the brigade commander, understand. "Li Jin warned. Although he knew that the brigade commander would be fine, he still wanted to give him some warning.
"Yes! "Qin Yuanxin nodded solemnly.
"Company Commander, I heard that the special operations battalion killed more than 20,000 Japanese this time. It's really amazing! "Qin Yuanxin thought of the news he heard from the brigade commander.
"It's not all the work of the special operations battalion. It was achieved by working with the Jinsui Army and the New Regiment. "Li Jin explained that the special operations company alone cannot handle so many Japanese soldiers unless the Japanese soldiers will not run away when they see their own soldiers being massacred.
"The main force is also the special operations battalion, which is no different. How many! "Qin Yuanxin naturally understood that the others were auxiliary, and only the special operations battalion was the real main force.
"Company Commander, I really miss them. "Qin Yuanxin sighed with emotion. He missed the time when he fought side by side with everyone in the past.
"I know, but your current task is to protect the brigade commander. "Li Jin also understood that Qin Yuanxin and the others wanted to fight the Japanese.
But the brigade commander still needed someone to protect him, so he had no choice but to wrong Qin Yuanxin and the others.
"Well, even Commander, go in quickly, the brigade commander and the others are still waiting for you. "Qin Yuanxin nodded.
"Okay. "Li Jin walked in and quickly walked across the courtyard and entered the conference room. The brigade commander and political commissar were already sitting in their seats. When they saw Li Jin, they both smiled. The code transfer has been serious recently. Let us be more motivated and update faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
