Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

In the communications room, when the telegraph operator was sending a message to the brigade commander, Li Jin took out a cigarette, gave one to Liu Changshun, and then took out a match to light the cigarette.

"Battal Commander, when do we start taking action?!" Liu Changshun asked, he couldn't wait to go fight the Japanese.

"Don't be impatient. I'll wait until I've taken care of everything here." Li Jin exhaled a puff of white smoke and said.

This task is very important, but it still has to be done step by step. Things in the new base area have not been completely arranged yet. Li Jin will not worry if he does not get it done.

"How long will it take?!" Liu Changshun asked.

"About half a month." Li Jin gave a rough time. He still needed to get familiar with the terrain here, and then arrange for people to train the new recruits.

Although the current special operations battalion nominally has 2,000 people, there are only more than 1,300 people capable of fighting. The others are all new recruits and have little combat effectiveness.

Things will get worse later on. The new recruits are not trained to have a certain combat ability. If something happens, it will be difficult to deal with it.

"Okay." Liu Changshun nodded, and then remembered the telegram that Li Jin had just sent, and said: "Battalion Commander, are the devils' construction of roads and watchtowers really aimed at us?!"

He felt that the battalion commander was making a fuss out of a molehill. It was not like the Japanese had never built watchtowers and roads before, but they were building more now. It was not necessarily aimed at them.

"The probability is very high. If it's just here, it's not necessarily true. But judging from the intelligence, the Japanese are not only cultivating here, but also cultivating in other places.

From the map, these watchtowers and roads seem to be trying to delineate us. Therefore, the enemy's purpose is most likely to target us.

In addition, we have made a lot of noise before, which has made the Japanese feel troublesome. Therefore, the recent actions of the Japanese are most likely targeting us. "Li Jin's analysis was clear and logical.

"Battal Commander, you are so awesome, you can think of so much just based on some situations?!" Liu Changshun said with some admiration after hearing this.

If it were him, he probably wouldn't think so much about it.

"So, I want you to think more about it and analyze intelligence. Many things are obtained through intelligence." Li Jin warned.

In fact, if he hadn't known about this a long time ago, he might not have been able to figure it out if he was asked to think about it.

One might even think that the enemy built the road to facilitate transportation, but would not think that the enemy was causing trouble.

"Don't worry, battalion commander, I will definitely learn more and think more." Liu Changshun nodded and said.

"Battal Commander, the brigade commander has sent a telegram back." The telegraph operator turned to Li Jin and said.

"What did the brigade commander say?!" Li Jin asked quickly.

"Wait a minute, let me translate first." The telegraph operator immediately began to translate. In less than half a minute, the telegraph operator wrote down the translated telegram and handed it to Li Jin.

"You all go out." Li Jin said after reading the telegram.

"Ah?! Get out?!" Liu Changshun was stunned, why couldn't even he know what the battalion commander was going to do.

"Hurry up." Li Jin waved his hand and urged.

"Yes!" Everyone in the communication room stood up and left, including Liu Changshun.

Li Jin came to the radio station and sat down, and immediately began to send a telegram to the brigade commander.

.........

Brigade headquarters, conference room.

Not long after the brigade commander and political commissar were processing the documents, the telegraph operator came in again.

"Brigade commander, there is a telegram from Battalion Commander Li." The telegraph operator handed the paper to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander took a look at the contents of the telegram and fell into deep thought.

"What did that kid Li Jin say?! Could it be that he had some bold ideas?" Upon seeing this, the political commissar couldn't help but ask.

"You go out first." The brigade commander did not answer this, but asked the telegraph operator to go out and wait.

"Yes." The telegraph operator nodded and turned to leave.

"Take a look, this guy said he wanted to make penicillin over there." The brigade commander handed the telegram to the political commissar.

There were only two sentences in the telegram, which were Li Jin's application to produce new anti-inflammatory drugs in the base area.

"Making penicillin?! This guy is really brave." The political commissar was stunned after reading it.

Anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin are much more effective than sulfa drugs. The key is that the injured soldiers will not become resistant to the drug at present. They are considered excellent anti-inflammatory drugs.

"There are actually not a lot of penicillins that can be produced in hospitals now. Although there are prescriptions, sometimes they are not handled properly and they still fail." said the brigade commander.

The production cost of penicillin is actually relatively low, but if it fails, a lot of ingredients will be wasted, and the amount is not enough.

Nowadays, it is difficult to support the penicillin produced by hospitals for other diseases.

"Li Jin wants a prescription?!" the political commissar said.

"No, he doesn't want a prescription. He wants us to agree to him making it there. This is the prescription he translated. Naturally, he has already memorized it. We need to give the prescription there," the brigade commander said.

It was Li Jin who translated the prescription. Based on Li Jin's memory, he probably wrote down the prescription at that time. He sent this telegram simply to ask for his consent.

"Li Jin has a lot of supplies there. Maybe he can make some penicillin. This is also a good thing." The brigade commander continued.

Making this thing may be difficult for other troops, but for Li Jin, it is not a problem.

"This prescription is so precious, what if it is leaked?!" the political commissar became worried.

Once agreed, it means that Li Jin will let the two doctors make it, and the prescription will be known to them. If the two doctors accidentally leak the prescription, it will be very troublesome.

Otherwise, Li Jinli would not have been allowed to issue the military order in the first place, so he still didn't want to agree.

The brigade commander was also deep in thought. This prescription for penicillin was very important, and even he would not be at ease if it was easily shown to outsiders.

"Li Jin's next task is quite heavy. If there is an accident, the impact will be huge. We can't help very much. I think I agree." After hesitation, the brigade commander chose to agree.

Thinking of the difficulties Li Jin encountered there, all he wanted now was to make penicillin to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

"That's true, but I still feel something is wrong." The political commissar said.

He felt that it was better to keep this prescription. If the Japanese got it, it would be a problem.

Judging from the battle with the Japanese, they did not seize penicillin from the Japanese.

Therefore, it is basically certain that this prescription was just developed by the Japanese at that time, but it was handed over to Li Jin and others before clinical trials could be carried out.

Therefore, the penicillin they have developed here is definitely the best. "Besides, Li Jin seized a lot of sulfa drugs, so he wouldn't need penicillin," the political commissar continued.

If he remembered correctly, Li Jin still had a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, which were enough for the special operations camp.

"Although no one in the special operations camp died, there were many injured. Li Jin was probably worried that those soldiers would develop drug resistance, so he thought of using penicillin," the brigade commander said.

The political commissar was silent.

"That's it. However, this guy has to make people take good care of those two people, and they must not be allowed to leave the base casually!

If they insist on leaving, they will be killed. "The brigade commander said with murderous intent behind him.

This prescription must not be leaked to the Japanese.

"Li Jin should be vigilant. Besides, it's not easy to leave that place." The political commissar said.

It still takes time to get out quickly in the Tianli Mountains, and running away is not that easy.

"It's better to be first-hand prepared." The brigade commander said, that's what he said, but it would be bad if someone really had a problem and ran away.

The political commissar nodded in agreement.

The brigade commander took out a piece of paper and then wrote on the paper, it can be made, but people must be careful.

"Xiao Tu, come in." The brigade commander looked at the door and shouted.

"Brigadier." The telegraph operator came in quickly.

"Send this telegram to Li Jin." The brigade commander handed the paper to the telegraph operator, who left immediately after receiving it.

.........

After sending the telegram, Li Jin was also wondering whether the brigade commander would agree.

In fact, there are quite a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs currently available in the special operations camp, all of which are sulfa drugs, but Li Jin felt that he still needed to be safer and was trying to get penicillin out.

As for the penicillin obtained from the brigade hospital, Li Jin had no intention of asking the brigade commander for it. He probably wouldn't be able to give much, so it was safer to do it himself.

There were quite a few Japs to fight in this mission, and he was worried that something unexpected might happen. In addition, many soldiers had suffered a lot of injuries, and their bodies might have become resistant to sulfonamide drugs.

Therefore, it is still very important to get penicillin. He does not want the soldiers to die due to wound inflammation due to drug resistance. It would be a pity. Instead of dying under the gunpoint of the Japanese, they would be exaggerated by the wound infection.

But the prescription for penicillin is still very important, and Li Jin knows this very well, so he is not sure whether the brigade commander will agree to let him make it here.

After waiting anxiously for a while, Li Jin received the telegram from the brigade headquarters. He wrote down the frequency and then began to translate.

When he saw that the brigade commander agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief. If he could make penicillin, the lives of the soldiers would be more stable.

As for what the brigade commander said about keeping an eye on people, there's absolutely no problem with that. He sent six soldiers from the reconnaissance company to protect Dr. Xu and the others. If anything goes wrong, those soldiers are fully capable of solving it. So, on this point no need to worry.

Li Jin quickly replied with two words to the brigade commander, understand!

.........

Outside the communication room, Xu Qingfeng also came over. When he saw everyone in the communication room coming out, he frowned.

"What are you doing if you don't stay inside?! If you miss an important telegram, you can't bear the responsibility!" Xu Qingfeng scolded with a serious look on his face.

The work in the communications room is still very important. Although it may not be busy at ordinary times, you need to stay there all day long to avoid missing telegrams from the brigade or regiment headquarters.

Just like the 129th Regiment, if they were surrounded by Japanese soldiers and sent a telegram to them, but they failed to receive it immediately and missed the support time, many people would die.

"Deputy battalion commander, you can't blame us. It was the battalion commander who wanted to use the radio and asked us to come out." The communications squad leader said helplessly. They didn't want to come out either, but they dared not listen to the orders given by the battalion commander.

"He used the radio?!" Xu Qingfeng was stunned, but he didn't expect that he had misunderstood these soldiers.

"Yeah, I don't know what the battalion commander wants to talk to the brigade commander. It must be very confidential." Liu Changshun couldn't help but interjected. Even he was kicked out. The battalion commander had never done this before, but now There is actually something that he is not allowed to know.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Xu Qingfeng said. Although he didn't know what the situation was, since Li Jin did this, there must be Li Jin's reason.

However, it seemed that this was the first time that this situation had happened, and he was a little curious about what Li Jin was doing.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

"Deputy Battalion Commander, why don't you go in and take a look?!" Liu Changshun asked curiously. He felt that he couldn't know about this matter. The deputy battalion commander could know about it. After all, if something happened to the battalion commander, he would definitely not hide it from the deputy battalion commander. These two people are so close that they can wear a pair of pants.

"Since he asked you to come out, he must not let anyone know about it, so I won't go in." Xu Qingfeng shook his head. Although he had a good relationship with Li Jin, in this case, he still knew the urgency of the matter. .

After hearing this, Liu Changshun felt a little helpless. Even the deputy battalion commander wouldn't go in, let alone the others.

At this moment, Li Jin opened the door of the communication room and walked out.

When he saw Xu Qingfeng coming, Li Jin smiled and said, "Have Lao Wu and the others made arrangements?!"

"Yes, it's arranged." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

"You guys go in quickly, don't miss any important telegrams." Li Jin nodded, and then let the soldiers in the communication class enter the communication room.

"Yes!" The soldiers in the communications class quickly entered the communications room.

"Liu Changshun, you should go and have a rest. The deputy battalion commander and I will take a walk around first." Li Jin looked at Liu Changshun again and said.

"Oh, okay." After hearing this, Liu Changshun also left.

Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng also left the communication room.

"I went to the arsenal. The machine tools are being assembled now. It will probably take more than a week to complete." Li Jin said as he walked.

"Well, if you assemble the machine tool earlier, you can use it sooner." Xu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction. The machine tool is still very important to them.

"Captain Liu and the others have been working hard these past few days. When I passed by, all six of them had haggard faces, but their eyes were full of excitement.

Assembling the machine tool was just like watching the white-flowered big girl. I was really afraid that they would die suddenly, so I directly ordered them to rest. "Li Jin said.

"Captain Liu and the others are probably excited too. They finally got the machine tool, so they have to finish it. However, health is still important. They are all technicians.

If something happened, it would be a huge loss. "Xu Qingfeng also said.

The Eighth Route Army is currently short of these technical personnel. If one of them dies suddenly, the brigade commander will probably die of grief.

"Yes, I think so too. The few of them are comparable to thousands of troops!" Li Jin said seriously. He knew the importance of these technical personnel.
