The light train was simple, and Lu Shan brought five monks, Li Yunxin, Zhou Yubin, ten direct team members and a newly recruited guard of forty-one people on board the train.

The train was also loaded with a large amount of food and other materials, as well as medicines urgently needed on the front line, etc.

The most expensive ones are nearly twenty large boxes of gold, silver, jewelry and jade jewelry!

There was also a VIP carriage on the train. It was originally an exclusive carriage for Jixing, the commander of Jilin Province's security, but the East Zong took the lead in occupying the train station, which made Jixing and others' idea of ​​evacuating by train fail, and they had to ride a horse and flee in panic.

This carriage became a spoil!

Such a luxurious carriage naturally couldn't bear to be destroyed. Just as Lu Shan sent a telegram, Zhai Lequan remembered this carriage, so he hung it together as Lu Shan's special carriage.

This carriage is equipped with all facilities, not only a conference room, but also a bedroom, a separate bathroom and a kitchen.

Of course there are special offices!

It is a lie to say that it is not a waste of time. As long as it is not too luxurious, owning a special train is not unacceptable.

"Monk, leave half of the people to be responsible for the alert and patrol. Except for the staff on the train, all other personnel rested!" After Lu Shan got on the train, he issued an order to the monk.

The train started, opened a window, and the cool breeze blew in, and the whole carriage was cool, and Lu Shan fell asleep quickly.

The sudden departure of the train also surprised Tokumiya Tetsuo, and the news that came later made him relieved.

The road ahead is blocked. The train is loaded with priceless military funds. Why do they still dare to stay where they are? Returning the same route is the best choice!

After several hours of speeding, the train finally slowly entered Jilin Railway Station, and the train stopped beside the platform.

On the platform, some officers including the commander of the Jilin Guard Brigade, the commander of the Jilin Guard Brigade, Xia Shangzhi, and other officers had already been waiting on the top.

"Mr. Lu!" Seeing Lu Shan get off the car, Zhai Lequan stepped forward excitedly and saluted.

"Here you come, why are you mobilizing so many people? You're afraid that the Japanese don't know that I'm here." Lu Shan walked down the lane with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, this place has been under military control, and the station has been replaced by our people." Zhai Lequan explained.

"Well. Be careful to keep it confidential." Lu Shan nodded. He was wearing casual clothes, so even if he was seen, he could not guess his identity.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, please get on the car!" Two black cars parked on the side of the platform, and Lu Shan didn't say anything. Zhai Lequan and the others were kind-hearted. Besides, he was not suitable to show up in public, so he nodded and got on the car!

"Mr. Lu, former chairman of Jilin Province Xiqia..."

"No, I live in the military camp, and the Japanese are worried that they can't find me. If I stay in Xiqia's mansion, wouldn't I tell the Japanese that a big man came to Jilin?" Lu Shan interrupted directly.

"yes!"

"Le Quan, tell me the situation in Jilin City?" Lu Shan asked.

"The situation in Jilin City is generally relatively stable. The people have no good feelings for the Japanese and are quite welcome to us, but the public security in the city is not very good, and cases of robbery and rape have continued to increase in recent days!" Zhai Lequan said.

"Where is the price?" Lu Shan asked.

"Well, the prices are a bit inflated, and many merchants hoard and raise prices. We have no experience in this regard. But in general, it has not reached an uncontrollable level!" Zhai Lequan said.

"How many grain merchants are there in the city?"

"There are seven or eight families, Mr. Lu, are you going to attack these people?" Zhai Lequan said in surprise.

"We need to use serious punishments to govern troubled times. Can we still be gentle to those who only know how to develop national crisis?" Lu Shan snorted angrily.

"Mr. Lu, these people are all people with considerable prestige in Jilin. If..." Zhai Lequan was a little embarrassed.

"Le Quan, don't forget your own identity!" Lu Shan said.

Zhai Lequan was suddenly shocked. He remembered that he had another identity. He had almost forgotten his identity after following Lu Shandong's campaign these days.

"Lequan understands!" Zhai Lequan said heavily.

"We will not forget the people who help us, but if we want to take advantage of the opportunity, we must not let go of the national crisis and make money easily. No matter when, we must not forget the identity of the people's soldiers. Forgetting means forgetting our roots!" Lu Shan said.

"What Mr. Lu said is, Lequan remembers it!"

"I won't stay in Jilin for long, and I will go north soon. Jilin is a military center, a key transportation and an economical area. The Japanese will not give up this place, so you have to be very careful. Since we have been here, we have to leave our mark. Do you understand?" Lu Shan said.

"I understand, Mr. Lu!" Zhai Lequan's eyes lit up. He had been staying by Lu Shan for two months in vain.

When the car drove into the military camp, Zhai Lequanzhi notified officers at the regiment level and above to come for a meeting, and there was no news about it to the outside world.

The Jilin Garrison Brigade was adapted from the original 1st Agricultural Reclamation Division. Although it belongs to the reserve and second-line troops in the East Column, it has a faint new look of elite spirit after the baptism of the war.

There is one person here who has made great contributions, which is Xia Shangzhi, the former deputy commander of the First Agricultural Reclamation Division, and now the chief of staff of the Jilin Security Brigade.

After the Jilin Garrison Brigade accepted some of the Jilin Garrison prisoners under the former Jixing, the total force had exceeded 6,000, and it was under the jurisdiction of a reconnaissance battalion, artillery battalion, engineering battalion and automobile company directly under the brigade headquarters. Then the First, Second, Third and Fourth Regiments were stationed in the four directions of Jilin City, southeast, northwest and northwest.

"Mr. Lu, I think our security brigade can expand the troops of another regiment in the next step. We seized two arsenals and ammunition depots hoarded by Xiqia and Jixing in Jilin, as well as the granary that had not been transferred or transported away. Now we can be said to have sufficient troops and sufficient food!" Xia Shangzhi said.

"It is possible to expand the army, but it is necessary to ensure the combat effectiveness of the existing troops. The reserves can be established. The number of people should not be large, but it must be capable. I will give you 3,000 troops to expand the army. There cannot be more. Otherwise, our logistics will be unsustainable and we cannot just look at the front of us!" Lu Shan said that Jilin is a provincial capital, but we can recruit some soldiers with cultural level as the situation. This is beneficial to improving the overall cultural level of the troops. Moreover, these cultural soldiers may not necessarily have to go to the battlefield at that time. The construction of base areas requires talents from all walks of life!

"Yes, Mr. Lu!" Xia Shangzhi was very happy. Although he strongly advocated expansion of the army, Zhai Lequan never agreed to this. He only opened a hole when there were special talents, and he did not agree to the large-scale recruitment of soldiers!

Zhai Lequan was influenced by Lu Shan. He agreed with the "the most important soldier is not the most elite". There are only a few hundred people in the direct team, but they have achieved a record, but even thousands of people may not be able to do it!

Moreover, as the brigade commander, he must consider comprehensive and longer-term issues. He cannot just focus on the present. Blind expansion of the army will inevitably lead to many difficulties such as decline in combat effectiveness and tight logistics pressure.

Although the Dongzong is very powerful now, it is actually on the brink of extremely dangerous. It is not easy to support an army of more than 100,000 and fight against the Japanese.

"Mr. Lu..."

"Lequan, I understand what you mean. There are many schools in Jilin and talents we need. I agree that the purpose of expanding the army is here, so don't say much." Lu Shan explained.

Zhai Lequan nodded. It was Mr. Lu. He was thinking about the issues of logistics and combat effectiveness, while Mr. Lu was considering talent strategy!

This is different from being in one corner and leading the overall situation.

"Lequan has been taught!"

Xia Shangzhi couldn't help but be deeply touched when he heard this. No wonder Zhai Lequan is so arrogant and respectful to Lu Shan, who is younger than him. This long-term vision is not something that ordinary people can have.

He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his strong intention of enlarging the army. He was still short-sighted.

"I'll leave tonight. I'll leave Jilin City to two. The Japanese army is now attacking Fuyu. After Fuyu is captured by them, the next target will inevitably be Jilin. You must be guarding against the Japanese army's sneak attack, do you know?" Lu Shan said seriously.

"Mr. Lu, don't you stay for one more night?"

"No, I'm going to Shulan and meet with Lao Qin and the others. Next, our big show is in Harbin!" Lu Shan said.

"We want to attack Harbin?" Zhai Lequan had already guessed that Lu Shan moved his strategy north step by step, obviously to use troops to the north. Harbin, a military, economic and cultural center, is definitely the goal of the next stage.

"The Japanese Harbin troops were transferred twice in a row. It was the time when the troops were empty. When would they not take Harbin at this time?" Lu Shan said, "What's more, we also need a safe rear. Liaodong is too unsafe and surrounded by enemies on all sides is not conducive to our development!"

"Mr. Lu is right. We should indeed find a safe rear. Heilongjiang and the Soviet Union border. There are many conflicts between Japan and the Soviet Union. They will definitely be happy to see us enter this area, let alone..." Zhai Lequan stopped talking. He and Xia Shangzhi were both members of the organization, so they naturally understood the relationship between the organization and the Soviet Union.

"After this battle is over, we should find an opportunity to rest and recuperate for a while!" Lu Shan said.

"That base in Liaodong..."

"If you should give up, you must give up. If you defend Liaodong, we will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot breathe. I'm afraid we will help someone at that time!" Lu Shan smiled.

When Zhai Lequan heard this, he suddenly felt a chilling feeling on his back. Who is someone? Zhang Shaoshuai from Peking or Jiang from Nanjing?

"Isn't it a pity to just give it to the Japanese like this..." Xia Shangzhi couldn't accept it emotionally.

"The anti-Japanese struggle is a long and arduous process. It is not a battle or two that can drive away the Japanese invaders. Japan has prepared for this war for thirty years. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, China was defeated, the Japanese have never taken our Celestial Kingdom seriously. China in their eyes is poor, backward and cowardly, which is the target of bullying. The hat of East Asia's sick husband has been on our heads for many years. If you want to take it off, it is not just about defeating the Japanese, but also comprehensively surpassing the military, economy, culture and technology. You must step on Japan and never turn over. This is the goal of our struggle. For this goal, we must endure humiliation and work hard. The temporary pain is necessary. Revolution means not to be afraid of bloodshed or sacrifice..."
