Chapter 1207 Troop mule horse
"This Wang Ping is not only capable of commanding wars, but often attacking the Japanese by chance and creating miracles. He also has a very generous move, and has a unique vision!" The boss who read the telegram added, not stingy with the words of praise he could think of.
"Thirty mountain cannons, forming a reinforced brigade rifle and light and heavy machine gun, plus more than two million bullets of various types, you can send it out if you say it is sent out!"
"Commander Chen made a big profit this time. He took his direct brigade to the new first regiment. Not only did he earn so many weapons and ammunition, but he also caught more than 2,000 prisoners of puppet army!"
"No surprise, the war in Linfen City is worry-free, so we can have a good sleep!"
Although the deputy chief of staff was also very excited, he calmed down quickly, then stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and asked: "Boss, what you mean is that with this victory, Wang Ping and his new regiment will definitely complete the task assigned to him by the headquarters!"
"It's not just a new group!" the boss affirmed.
"No accident, it won't take long, Commander Chen will also create a surprise for us!"
"Commander Chen brought back so many weapons and ammunition this time, especially dozens of mountain cannons and infantry cannons. If you use them well, you can easily fight the Japanese counterattack and kill a full infantry corps. "
The command center of the New First Regiment, Wang Ping, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, and chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, three people sat around a table, discussing something, and their faces were very complicated.
Especially political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The troops won a big victory in Dongping Village, and three happy things were coming, which was originally a happy thing.
However, the regiment commander Wang Ping was self-righteous and sent out the equipment of the reinforcement brigade with one mouthful.
There are more than 2,700 puppet army prisoners. If the mobilization is successful, at least 2,000 people can be persuaded to join the Eighth Route Army.
You know, these two thousand people are not ordinary recruits.
They are all veterans trained by the Japanese and have been on the battlefield.
The reason why the Japanese have no combat power and are defeated with one blow is because they do not want to really work hard for the Japanese.
But joining the Eighth Route Army is different!
Huang Yuanqiang was confident that with the political mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army, they would definitely be able to join the Eighth Route Army and follow the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese. At that time, their combat effectiveness would definitely increase rapidly.
You should know that many of the backbone of the New Regiment are the puppet troops they were captured at the time.
There are so many core veterans of the New First Regiment who will be sent out as soon as they are said to be sent out, but I don’t know if he should be generous or he is very kind.
After all, the new first regiment is short of troops now, especially after the battle in front of him, the participating troops suffered heavy casualties...
Seeing that the political commissar was so angry that he didn't say anything, Wang Ping explained with a smile.
"Political commissar should not be angry. The reason why I gave them multiple weapons, ammunition and recruits to the military region is not that I am generous or that I, Wang Ping, was not that I am very proud!"
"You know the situation of the military region more than me. Staying in our new regiment has not improved much of the combat effectiveness of the new regiment. However, when it comes to Commander Chen of the military region, whether it is weapons, ammunition or new recruits, they can save their lives!"
"Also, although those prisoners were sent to the military region, I promise you that at most one month, I will definitely send you more prisoners!"
"What you have to worry about at that time is not that there are no prisoners in your hands, but that there are too many prisoners in your hands and there is no place to settle!"
Huang Yuanqiang's frown suddenly relaxed, stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Captain, don't coax me!"
"I, Wang Ping, always keep my word!" Wang Ping answered confidently.
Then he changed his subject and continued: "Also, political commissar, we have not gained nothing in this battle!"
"We have all come down with nearly 1.6 million kilograms of grain and ammunition. Now there are famines everywhere. As long as we have food in our hands, we will not be able to recruit soldiers."
"There are seven or eight thousand mules and horses and horses. Apart from the commander took away, we still have nearly five thousand left in our hands!"
"I have an idea to use these mules and horses and slow horses to get our new ball to the standard of mules and horse transformation."
"All infantry battalions and main battalions, under any circumstances, can ensure a speed of five kilometers per hour and marching continuously for thirty kilometers!"
"If this standard can be met, the combat effectiveness of my new regiment in long-distance raids will definitely be greatly enhanced, and the mobility of the troops can also be greatly increased. No matter where the base is attacked, the troops can quickly maneuver and arrive at the battlefield!"
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong answered with a consent look: "This question is indeed necessary to be improved!"
"I remember the last time when the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep on my base, several brigades suddenly appeared in our rear. Although the troops drawn from the front arrived in time, because the troops marched urgently, they had to throw away almost all their heavy weapons and only carry light weapons and a small amount of ammunition to the battlefield."
"If it is a short-term battle of several hours, the impact is not big!"
"But once the battle lasts for one day or even longer, the little ammunition carried by the reinforcements to maintain their strength is not enough."
"As for those heavy weapons, if they are thrown away rashly, they will definitely have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
"I will do a construction plan. If the reinforcements in the last anti-sweep battle were to ensure the speed of the march, they also brought heavy weapons and sufficient ammunition. I can guarantee that our casualties and losses would be reduced by at least 20%, or even more!"
"So, I absolutely support turning the army into mules and horses!"
During the last anti-sweeping campaign, the political commissar stayed in the rear to command the troops to fight. No one knew better than him about the importance of mobility, heavy weapons, and sufficient ammunition to a force.
He frowned and asked, "Captain, what are you planning to change!"
Wang Ping had already thought about it and blurted out: "The troops below us have already established a baggage platoon, and this remains unchanged. What needs to be changed now is the infantry company. Each infantry company has a baggage squad with nine mules and horses. If you march for a long distance, you will have no problem with carrying a weight of 3,000 pounds."
"The three thousand kilograms of weight can include food and ammunition replenishment for three days of combat in the entire company."
"In this case, ordinary infantry only need to carry weapons and cover themselves, and have one day's combat supplies, and carry only more than 20 kilograms of weight, which will not affect the troops' long-distance marching!"
"The supplies under the infantry battalion are equipped with fifty mules and horses, and carry the entire battalion for three days of combat supplies!"
"The heavy machine gun company is equipped with ten mules and horses. All heavy machine guns and supporting ammunition are carried by mules and horses to ensure the mobility of the troops!"
"The artillery company is equipped with 15 mules and horses, infantry cannons, mortars, and supporting shells, all mules and horses!"
"The mountain cannon company is equipped with thirty mules and horses. The mountain cannons are dismantled and divided into three parts. There are shells, and all mules and horses are transformed into!
"The new main battalion is an independent battalion, each battalion is equipped with 105 mules and horses... The main battalion is equipped with 145 mules and horses..."
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong's eyes shone and replied: "Captain, in this case, the mobility of the troops will definitely increase greatly. Long-distance raids can also be fought for seven consecutive days without any reinforcements!"
"No, in fact, seven days are definitely more than ten days, it's possible!"
"There will be casualties during the combat process, and the weapons, ammunition and supplies equipped by the casualties will be more for other combatants to use!"
"Captain, I completely agree with your proposal just now!"
