"This Wang Ping is not only a great commander in battles, he often surprises the Japanese and creates miracles. He is also very generous and has a unique vision!" The boss added after reading the telegram, and he did not hesitate to use any compliment he could think of.
"Thirty mountain cannons, a reinforced brigade of rifles and light and heavy machine guns, plus more than two million rounds of various bullets, send them out as soon as they are told!"
"Commander Chen made a fortune this time. He took his direct brigade to the New Regiment. Not only did he earn so many weapons and ammunition, but he also captured more than 2,000 puppet prisoners!"
"Nothing goes wrong, the war in the direction of Linfen City is no longer a worry, and we can have a good sleep with peace of mind!"
Although the deputy chief of staff was also very excited, he quickly calmed down, then stared at the deputy commander-in-chief and asked: "Boss, you mean, with this victory, Wang Ping and his new regiment will definitely be able to complete the delivery of the headquarters."
A mission for him!"
"It's not just a new group!" the boss affirmed.
"If nothing else happens, it won't take long before Commander Chen will create a surprise for us!"
"Commander Chen brought back so many weapons and ammunition this time, especially the dozens of mountain cannons and infantry cannons. Once used, he can easily launch a counterattack against the Japanese and kill an entire infantry regiment of them!"
At the headquarters of the New Regiment, the three of them, the regiment leader Wang Ping, the political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, and the chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, were sitting around a table, discussing something, with very complicated expressions on their faces.
Especially political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The troops won a great victory in Dongping Village, which was a happy event.
However, the regiment leader Wang Ping took it upon himself to take matters into his own hands and gave away the equipment of a reinforced brigade with just one mouthful.
There are still more than 2,700 puppet prisoners. If the mobilization goes smoothly, 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 Japs have no fighting power and are defeated in one strike is because they don't really want to sacrifice their lives for the Japs.
But joining the Eighth Route Army is different!
Huang Yuanqiang is confident that with the Eighth Route Army's political mobilization ability, they will definitely join the Eighth Route Army and follow the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese. By then, their combat effectiveness will definitely increase.
You know, many of the backbones of the new regiment are now captured by the puppet troops.
There are so many future core veterans of the new regiment who will be sent out as soon as they are told. I don’t know whether to call him generous or big-hearted.
After all, the new regiment is also short of troops now, especially after the current battle and the casualties of the participating troops are quite large...
Seeing that the political commissar was holding back his anger and didn't speak, Wang Ping explained with a smile.
"Don't be angry, political commissar. The reason why I sent them many weapons, ammunition and new recruits to the military region is not because of my generosity, nor because of my generosity!"
"Political Commissar, you know the situation in the military region better than I do. If these things are left in our new regiment, they will not improve the combat effectiveness of the new regiment much. However, in the hands of Commander Chen of the military region, whether it is weapons, ammunition or new recruits, they can
Help!"
"Also, although those prisoners were sent to the military area, I promise you, political commissar, that I will definitely send you more prisoners within a month at most!"
"What you will 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 put them!"
Huang Yuanqiang's frown suddenly relaxed, he stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, please don't coax me!"
"I, Wang Ping, always keep my word!" Wang Ping replied confidently.
Then he changed the topic and continued: "Also, political commissar, we didn't gain nothing from this battle!"
"We have brought down nearly 1.6 million kilograms of food and ammunition supplies. Now there is famine everywhere. As long as we have food in hand, we will not be able to recruit troops."
"There are also seven to eight thousand mules, horses and horses. Excluding those taken away by the commander, we still have nearly five thousand left!"
"I have an idea to use these mules and horses to make our new regiment meet the standards of mules and horses."
"All infantry battalions, the main battalion, no matter what the circumstances, can guarantee a speed of five kilometers per hour and march continuously for 30 kilometers!"
"If we can meet this standard, the combat effectiveness of our new regiment in long-distance attacks will definitely be greatly enhanced, and the mobility of the troops will also be greatly increased. No matter where the base area is attacked, the troops can quickly maneuver and rush to the battlefield!"
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong responded with approval: "This problem really needs to be improved!"
"I remember the last time the Japanese army launched a large-scale raid on my base area, several brigades suddenly appeared in our rear area. Although the troops from the front line arrived in time, because the troops were marching in a hurry, they had to throw away almost all their heavy weapons.
Going to the battlefield carrying only light weapons and a small amount of ammunition."
"If it is a short-term battle of a few hours, the impact will not be big!"
"However, once the battle lasts for a day or even longer, the ammunition carried by the reinforcements to maintain their strength will not be enough."
"As for those heavy weapons, if they are thrown away rashly, it will definitely have a huge impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
"I will make an assumption. If in the last anti-mopping battle, the reinforcements had brought heavy weapons and sufficient ammunition while maintaining a marching speed, I can guarantee that our casualties and losses would have been reduced by at least 20%.
even more!"
"So, I absolutely support turning the troops into mules and horses!"
During the last counter-mopping operation, the political commissar stayed in the rear and commanded the troops in combat. No one knew better than him the importance of mobility, heavy weapons, and sufficient ammunition to an army.
Frowning, he asked: "Captain, how do you plan to change it?"
Wang Ping had already thought about it and blurted out: "The troops below us and the battalion have already set up a baggage squad, 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 want to march long distances and have to carry a weight of three thousand kilograms, there will be no problem at all."
"A load of three thousand kilograms can include food and ammunition supplies for the entire company for three days of combat."
"In this case, ordinary infantrymen only need to carry weapons, uniforms, and one day's combat supplies. The load is only more than 20 kilograms, which will not affect the troops' long-distance emergency march!"
"The infantry battalion's baggage train is equipped with fifty mules and horses, carrying three days of combat supplies for the entire battalion!"
"The heavy machine gun company is equipped with ten mules and horses. All heavy machine guns and supporting ammunition are carried on mules and horses to ensure the mobility of the troops!"
"The artillery company is equipped with 15 mules and horses, infantry artillery, mortars, and matching artillery shells, all mules and horses!"
"The mountain cannon is equipped with thirty mules and horses. The mountain cannon is dismantled and divided into three parts. There are also cannonballs, all of which are mules and horses!"
"New main battalions, independent battalions, each battalion is equipped with 105 mules and horses... The main battalion is equipped with 145 mules and horses..."
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong answered with eyes shining: "Commander, in this case, the mobility of the troops will definitely be greatly increased. In long-distance raids, we can fight continuously for seven days without any reinforcements!"
"No, actually it will definitely be more than seven days, it may even be ten days!"
"There will be casualties during the battle, and the weapons, ammunition and supplies equipped by the casualties will be more available for other combatants to use!"
"Captain, I completely agree with your proposal just now!"
