"I understand what you said, but if I tell you, the reason why I handed over this important task to you is not only because of my trust in you, but more importantly because you have been a hero in the Green Forest, do you believe it?"

Li Jing looked at Zhang Qingshan in shock, his eyes full of disbelief and confusion, his mouth wide open, and he didn't even know that the cigarette in his mouth fell.

But Zhang Qingshan seemed to enjoy Li Jing's expression very much, and he was not anxious at all, and he looked at it with a smile.

After a while, Li Jing suddenly closed his mouth and came to his senses.

"Captain, you said 'Heroes don't ask where they come from', but now you always... are always..."

Zhang Qingshan patted Li Jing's shoulder with a smile. Before he could finish speaking, he took out a cigarette and handed it to him and said with a smile: "Old Li, you really misunderstood what I mean. I really don't want to hold on to your past. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now, right? As for this mission, I really valued the Green Forest hero."

Hearing this, Li Jing suddenly remembered that he seemed to have proposed this again and again, and Zhang Qingshan emphasized every time that it was not about pursuing his past. He immediately felt that Zhang Qingshan was sincere and had no other meaning, but really valued his former background, and he immediately relaxed a lot.

Then, I lit the smoke and smiled and said, "Captain, can you give me some careful advice? Otherwise, I will always be in a state of mind."

The two of them said while walking.

"To put it simply, the highest commander of this operation must have three points: command ability, be very familiar with the surrounding areas, and be firm in mind."

Li Jing thought for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Captain, I really don't understand. You should give me some specific advice, can you?"

"The command ability is divided into two points: First, those who have to command several major battles, at least the battalion-level commander. After all, it is not difficult to command thousands of people, and our regiment is only a few battalion commanders, and our regiment is barely in line with this. Second, we must fight guerrilla warfare. This is not suitable for the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander. As soon as they participated in the revolution, they have been fighting in the main force and have never conducted separate guerrilla warfare. And you, starting from scratch, and fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains with the previous warlords is common. You have their own uniqueness in guerrilla warfare, otherwise you will not be able to bring up a team of hundreds of people. In this regard, you have an advantage over them." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan patted Li Jing on the shoulder and said seriously: "So, Comrade Li Jing, take out all the ways you used to pull the team against the warlords, and give these damn Japanese accusers to taste your methods."

"Captain, don't worry, I will do my best to deal with these little Japanese devils."

Zhang Qingshan nodded and continued: "We are not as familiar with the surrounding terrain and villages. This is not as good as you. That is, Li Ming, the captain of our Sanqiao County Guerrilla Brigade, is similar to you, but he doesn't have a little bit of it, so you are the only one."

Li Jing nodded and admitted this.

But just as he was about to wait for the next explanation, Zhang Qingshan suddenly glanced at Sun Bingcheng who was following him. This time, Sun Bingcheng immediately stopped and looked back and forth without looking back and forth. He waited for a distance of about ten meters from Zhang Qingshan and the others to slowly follow.

Zhang Qingshan approached Li Jing and whispered: "Old Li, we are the only one here. I will tell you the truth. Regarding firmness in your heart, it is just a plain word, but in fact it means to be cruel and vicious."

"Don't look at me like this. This is not only my personal requirement, but also everyone's hope. It's just that they are hard to say it."

Li Jing's expression suddenly became serious. He looked at Zhang Qingshan and asked seriously: "Captain, what do you want me to do? Just give me instructions."

"This time, we can follow the policy for other Japanese devils, but I only have one requirement for you to kill the Japanese devils on the hillside: if you dare to resist, you will be killed immediately. Lao Li, can you do this request?"

Li Jing nodded immediately and said, "Captain, don't worry, I understand. The Japanese didn't treat us Chinese as human beings. They would kill us if they wanted to kill us. If they wanted to rescue and rob us, they simply wanted to kill us. For such beasts, I would be polite to them, that would be a ghost."

"Yes! For tooth for tooth, for blood for blood!" Zhang Qingshan patted Li Jing's shoulder heavily and smiled happily: "Of course, from the overall situation, you must also see the benefits of doing this. After all, the Japanese will definitely not only send a brigade to the northwest to massacre the villagers, but will definitely send more people. Because the Japanese's unscrupulous massacre is not only inhumane, but also they hope that doing this will anger us and keep dividing our troops, thereby reducing the strength of our city defense. The best way to stop them is to fight against blood. Only by hurting them and being afraid of them, they will not dare to kill us ordinary people so unscrupulously, or even dare to kill people everywhere to set fire. At that time, they feel that our strong revenge will inevitably be more cruel and iron-blooded than them, so they will have all their concerns and dare not do this again."

"Captain, I understand. Don't worry, I won't be merciful." After saying that, I felt that it was a bit inadequate to express my feelings, so I quickly added: "At least, for the shitty Japanese brigade who killed 150 people up the hillside for no reason, I will definitely not be merciful and will definitely ask them to pay their blood debts."

"Just understand. So, do you have any idea about who you are bringing?"

"Yes!" Li Jing nodded and said, "I drew two platoons from a row, all of which were used to operate in this area before. They were specially used to deal with Japanese devils in guerrilla warfare. Then they drew two platoons from the third platoon. Their main purpose was to stabilize the battlefield... The regiment commander, is this what the meaning?"

"Ha! Ha! Lao Li, your level in all aspects has improved rapidly, which really makes me admire you!"

Li Jing immediately flattered him and said, "This is all taught by the group leader, and I just learned some basics."

Afterwards, the two exchanged ideas on how to fight this battle and how to apologize to the villagers. Finally, Zhang Qingshan waved his hand, and Sun Bingcheng quickly ran over and handed Li Jing a big bag that he had been holding.

"Old Li, it doesn't matter if he has gone through a wrong path and made mistakes. After all, everyone will make mistakes. The key is whether he knows the mistakes and can correct them. If he can do this, he is still a good comrade... If you want to establish a good relationship with the villagers in this area, in addition to apologizing sincerely, you must also have practical apology. Give it, there are five hundred oceans and twenty gold bars here. In addition to leaving the necessary expenses for the soldiers and militias, the rest will be compensated to the villagers. It can be regarded as expressing their apology to the villagers for the past."

Li Jing hesitated for a moment and then silently accepted it, took out a pen and wrote the receipt.

When he arrived at the defense area of ​​the Fifth Battalion of the North Gate, Li Jing did as he said, and he brought in two elite platoons from the first and third companies to form a reinforced company. Various materials and corresponding personnel also arrived just in time, so everyone quickly got busy.

Under Zhang Qingshan's witness, he briefly handed over with He Gongnong, the instructor of the Fifth Battalion. In fact, there was nothing to hand over. If He Gongnong and Li Jing could not cooperate, the two would have had a long time ago. Since the cooperation was pleasant, He Gongnong could naturally take over Li Jing's job at any time.

Then, Li Jing took the strengthening company and took advantage of the night to cross the north gate.

Zhang Qingshan had been standing at the north gate, staring at Li Jing and others who had disappeared into the night for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking at this time.

It was not until more than half an hour later that Zhang Qingshan suddenly came to his senses and said lightly: "There has not been gunfire for so long. It seems that Lao Li and the others are safe. Alas! I hope everything goes well and don't let down the expectations of their comrades and fellow villagers."

...

"Battery Commander, what are we going to do when we come out in the middle of the night?"

One of Li Jing's main confidants, the former third leader, and now the deputy company commander of the 1st Company of the Fifth Battalion, Er Gazi, secretly looked around and asked in a low voice.

Li Jing was thinking about the details of how to fight this time, but was interrupted by Ergazi. He glared at him and said angrily: "What else can you do? Of course, it's killing the Japanese."

Then he turned his head and ordered: "Go and call the third company commander."

Soon, the third company commander Wang Zhongjun ran over.

When the three of them got together, Li Jing expressed all the causes and consequences of the battle and all the instructions. Of course, Zhang Qingshan’s so-called “firm-mindedness” also tactfully said it was his own thoughts, and then asked them if they dared it?

Ergazi naturally had no problem. He understood that this question was actually a special question for the third company commander.

Wang Zhongjun immediately patted his chest and said, "Battery Commander, don't worry, in order to avenge these 150 blind dates, I will not regret it even if I shoot me afterwards."

"Okay! Just do it!" Li Jing patted the two of them on the shoulders excitedly, and then instructed: "If I am unfortunately sacrificed, Lao Wang will be replaced. Ergazi, you must obey unconditionally and do tricks. Lao Wang, you will kill him directly... If Lao Wang is also sacrificed, Ergazi, the team will be led by you to continue fighting the Japanese. Anyway, I have only one requirement for you two: I must complete this mission for me even if I die, otherwise, my face is small and I cannot avenge the villagers, but it is a big deal. I have made a poisonous oath in front of the leader and political commissar."

Wang Zhongjun and Ergazi looked at each other, saluted Li Jing at the same time, and replied loudly: "Yes! Ensure that the task is completed!"

"Okay, you two go back and explain to the brothers the purpose of our battle and my meaning. If one is unwilling, it will be too late to go back now. If you have any opinions, ask him to come and find me."

Then, watching the two of them return to their respective teams to convey, Li Jing began to think about it while rushing to the road.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"Ka! Da! Da..."
Chapter completed!
