Chapter 1119: An accident happened in the base area
After the laboratory was established, what Wang Ping could do as a layman was to provide them with research ideas based on the experiences of future generations that he could still think of in his mind, and then ensure them adequate funding and material supplies.
As the weather gets colder and colder, Wang Ping becomes more and more leisurely.
At this moment, Li Wen from the direct team suddenly rushed to Yanchang County and found him.
"Captain, something happened in the base!"
After saying that, Li Wen handed a telegram to Wang Ping, who frowned quickly.
"A battalion was completely wiped out. How did they do it? Eight or nine hundred soldiers were just gone!" After reading the telegram, Wang Ping's anger started to rise, and he couldn't help but curse!
"The casualties must be more than that. Including the reinforcements and blocking troops, our total casualties exceed 1,500, and 1,300 cadres and soldiers were directly sacrificed!" Li Wen added with a frown. He also
I didn't expect that the base area had changed so much and that such a big problem had occurred less than a year after the regiment leader left the base area.
One battle resulted in the loss of 1,500 men. When the regiment commander was still at the base, an infantry regiment of the Japanese army could not completely wipe out the Japanese army without losing so many men.
Wang Ping had a sullen face and said nothing. After hesitating for a few minutes, he ordered: "You come here and wait for me for half an hour. In half an hour, we will return to Yan'an together. This matter must be clarified!"
"I have a hunch that this time we will definitely leave Yan'an and return to the base!"
As soon as we returned to the headquarters of the direct team and guard company outside Yan'an City, the telegraph operator came over with a telegram.
"Head of the regiment, the telegram from the political commissar is about the defeat."
After Li Wen took the telegram and read it, his brows furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign, and he explained while handing the telegram to Wang Ping.
"This new commander of the second battalion is a battalion commander transferred from the military region. He is also the old company commander of the commander of the second battalion, Xiao Yunshan!"
"When Xiao Yunshan was originally the platoon leader, the new battalion commander of the second battalion was the company commander. Now he and Xiao Yunshan are suddenly on an equal footing, both are battalion commanders, and they have to listen to Xiao Yunshan's orders and command. He will definitely not be convinced!"
"Two days ago, the Japanese army laid a plan for him, using a Japanese soldier from a strengthened squadron as bait to lure him into the trap, and then used a strengthened brigade to attack them from both inside and outside, ambushing them."
"According to the rules, such a combat mission needs to be reported to Battalion Commander Xiao Yunshan, and then other troops will be deployed to cooperate!"
"This battalion commander was dissatisfied with Xiao Yunshan from the bottom of his heart, and then he decided to fight this battle without reporting it, and then he fell into the enemy's trick!"
"Xiao Yunshan responded very quickly. After receiving the news, he led troops to reinforce!"
"However, he received the news too late. When the troops set off, the Japs' encirclement and annihilation campaign against the newly formed Second Battalion had already begun. In addition, the Japs also sent troops to block the Second Battalion and the Independent Second Battalion, as well as the reinforcements of the two battalions.
When we finally arrived at the battlefield, except for the battalion commander and a dozen guards, everyone in the newly formed second battalion was wiped out, and the reinforcements of the two battalions also lost a company of troops each!"
"Where is this new commander of the second battalion?" Wang Ping asked with a frown.
On the surface, there is no change on Wang Ping's face, but those who know Wang Ping know that underneath the calm expression there is raging anger. As long as there is a little fuse to ignite this powder keg, Wang Ping will definitely have murderous thoughts.
"Has been locked up by the political commissar, waiting to be dealt with!"
"Send a telegram to the political commissar and ask him to lock up the battalion commander for me and deal with it after I get back!" When Wang Ping issued this order, a strong murderous aura emitted from his body.
"I will send a telegram back to the political commissar right away!" Li Wen replied immediately.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he asked: "Captain, when will we go back?"
"The sooner the better, let the troops prepare. I will go see the leader now and ask to return to the base!" Wang Ping immediately ordered.
As soon as he reached the door, a guard from the headquarters rushed over.
"Hello, Chief... The Commander-in-Chief wants you to see him now, the sooner the better!"
"It just so happens that I also have something to see the Commander-in-Chief!" Wang Ping followed the guards to the headquarters without saying a word.
As soon as I walked into the Commander-in-Chief's office, before I could salute and report, the Commander-in-Chief's voice rang in my ears.
"Comrade Wang Ping, you must be ready to return to the base!"
"Commander Chen just sent a telegram asking you to go back and take charge of the fourth district."
"It's okay for you to have been away from the Fourth District for half a year. Starting three months ago, that is, after the autumn harvest, the situation in the Fourth District began to intensify."
"The Japanese and puppet troops are becoming more and more rampant, and the new regiment is getting worse and worse. They have already suffered several major defeats!"
"In the past, the losses of the troops were not big. Commander Chen didn't take it to heart. He thought that the new regiment was in the running-in period after replacing many cadres. However, the terrible battle that just ended, and a main battalion was completely wiped out, made
Commander Chen, you realize that the current situation of the new regiment is definitely not a simple run-in, but there is a problem in combat command, and you, the regiment leader, must go back and take charge immediately!"
"Linfen is too important to us, and there must be no accidents!"
"So, I decided to ask you to return to the base immediately and take command of the new regiment!"
Wang Ping had long wanted to return to the base area, and immediately promised: "Please rest assured, chief, as long as I, Wang Ping, stay in the base area for a day, there will be no problems in the base area!"
At the headquarters of the New Regiment, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang was in a very bad mood.
The leader of the regiment, Wang Ping, was about to return. Faced with the increasingly chaotic situation of the new regiment, Huang Yuanqiang regretted it very much and did not know how to face Wang Ping.
A year ago, the New Regiment had so many soldiers and horses that the Japanese infantry brigade did not dare to enter the base area. When they encountered the New Regiment, they almost always walked around!
But now, in less than a year, the new regiment has lost nearly 3,000 men, and one battalion has been wiped out.
More importantly, Huang Yuanqiang could clearly feel that the consecutive defeats had affected the morale of the new regiment. When facing the Japanese, they were no longer as confident as before.
Huang Yuanqiang is very clear about the reason for this result.
I was too soft-hearted when facing my subordinates and was not as decisive as the regiment leader, which caused some problems in the new regiment's command system.
Huang Yuanqiang regrets very much why he couldn't make up his mind in the first place. Faced with some minor problems that were exposed, he should be punished and dismissed from his post instead of criticizing and brushing it off!
His own accommodation and weakness caused those cadres to become more and more arrogant, eventually leading to the very tragic ending before them.
