One hundred and twentieth chapters pouring cold water
Director of the Political Department Deng Hongtao, deputy leader Feng Tao, and deputy political commissar He Wen also stared at Cheng Xiao with their eyes full of expectation.
On the way back, these people have asked themselves more than once how much money the independent group has and what kind of strength their upcoming independent group has. But because they only know the general situation before departure, Wang Ping has been
None of them gave them a clear answer.
Political Commissar Cheng Xiao is also here now. The people in the conference room are all genuine regimental-level cadres of the Independent Regiment. There is no need to hide them anymore.
After thinking about it, he directly said to Cheng Xiao: "Old Cheng, while everyone is here, let everyone know about the family background of our independent regiment, so that everyone can be more confident when facing the Japanese. I just want to listen, the troops
During this period of fighting against traitors and lackeys, we have brought back a lot of good things."
Cheng Xiao's face showed a look of genuine pride, and then he answered: "Let me talk about weapons first. According to the latest statistics, our independent regiment has a total of two infantry cannons, six mortars, and seven heavy machine guns.
26 handles, 7 made in the Czech Republic, 21 grenade tubes, 997 38 caps, 652 Chinese-made rifles, old sleeves, Mauser and other domestic rifles, and 136 pistols. Extra weapons
, all were seized from the hands of those lackeys and traitors in Laiyuan!"
"As for ammunition, I only use four words to describe it: plenty of ammunition!"
"Next is the financial aspect. Now I have a total of 65,316 yuan, 27 large yellow croakers, 81 small yellow croakers, and a total of eight kilograms of gold and silver jewelry. All of them are from traitors.
What I seized in my hands. My idea is to keep 15,361 pieces of ocean, and the rest of the ocean and gold, plus the gold and silver jewelry, will all be handed over to the military division!"
"The rest is some material reserves: the bulk of them is food, which I have just introduced to you. Because there are too many other materials and they are very messy, I will not introduce them one by one. After the regiment is on track, I will
Hand them over to Director Jiang one by one!"
These people who are new to the Independent Regiment are all old Red Army and veteran cadres. Whether it is the previous Red Army period or the current Eighth Route Army period, they have lived a hard life. Now I suddenly heard that a newly formed regiment has so much wealth, even more than the military district.
, you can imagine the shock of several people. They opened their mouths and did not react for a long time.
Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, was the first to react, and then said with emotion to Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao: "Regiment leader and political commissar, this is so surprising!"
"I originally thought that our independent regiment was so poor that we had to rely on ourselves to fight for everything. I didn't expect that you all had prepared your family's resources, and we just came here and ate what we had ready-made! This level of equipment would be completely acceptable if it were placed in a military region.
Form two groups!”
If there had been no heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, with the current financial resources and personnel of the Independent Regiment, it would not take long for the Independent Regiment to develop into a well-deserved main force of the military region.
However, who could have imagined that the Independent Group would face an unprecedented life and death crisis just after its establishment.
Seeing that the new regiment-level cadres were getting more and more excited as they talked, Wang Ping had to pour cold water on them and let them understand the current situation facing the independent regiment. Otherwise, these four words, arrogant soldiers will be defeated.
It will definitely be verified by the independent group!
"Okay, now that the happy political commissar has finished telling everyone, it's my turn as the group leader to tell everyone something unhappy!" Wang Ping suddenly broke the lively atmosphere in the conference room.
"According to intelligence, the Japanese army in Laiyuan City is expanding into a mixed brigade, with a total strength of 6,500 people. It has a mixed artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade, with strong combat effectiveness!"
"The Imperial Alliance Army in Laiyuan City is also expanding. It has been expanded from the current security regiment to a security brigade. The total strength is 3,500 people, including an artillery company and a heavy machine gun company. Its strength cannot be underestimated!"
"Why do you say that? According to the intelligence sent by the underground party, the performance and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army some time ago caused great dissatisfaction among the Japanese. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese army's control over the Imperial Army, the Japanese army
A veteran of the infantry squadron was transferred to the Royal Association Army's garrison brigade to serve as deputy and instructor for officers above the company level. On the surface, they assisted the officers of the Royal Association Army in commanding and training the troops, but in fact they controlled the military power of the Royal Association Army in disguise!"
"In this case, the puppet army we face next will not be as vulnerable as the ones we encountered before."
"The Japanese army plus the Imperial Alliance Army is 10,000 people. So far, the total strength of the Japanese mixed brigade has reached 4,000 people, and the Imperial Alliance Army has also recruited nearly 2,000 people. Not counting this, whether it is the Japanese army or the Imperial Army
The Alliance Army always trains an army as soon as it is formed and reorganized."
"During this period, the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed in the military camp in Laiyuan City. The sound of gunfire never stopped, which made the people of Laiyuan City panic. We concluded that this must be another live ammunition training by the Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, I also
I can tell you for sure that once the Japanese and puppet troops complete their reorganization and form combat effectiveness, we will be the first to be attacked."
After saying that, Wang Ping ordered Zeng Quan: "Old Zeng, please tell a few new comrades about our grievances with the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of the dangerous situation our independent regiment faces in Laiyuan City.
!”
With Wang Ping's foreshadowing and Zeng Quan's introduction and analysis, the confidence they had just now no longer appeared on their faces.
Several people kept their faces calm and said nothing, thinking about things.
After a full minute, Deng Hongtao sighed and said: "Captain, I finally understand why we have to recruit so many new soldiers. Once the Japanese army sends out heavy troops to encircle and suppress us, all connections between the independent regiment and the outside world will be cut off.
.By then, if there are not enough new recruits to replenish the troops, after a few battles, the main force will be completely defeated. By then, no matter how lucky we are, the independent regiment will inevitably be completely destroyed."
Jiang Hongchun, the director of the Logistics Department, also said with a solemn face: "The logistics reserves will also face great pressure! No one knows how long the Japanese army's next heavy encirclement and suppression will last. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, we have to continue early.
Stock up on food!”
"By the way, there are also medicines. The Japanese army is heavily encircled and suppressed, and the casualties of the troops must be huge. Without enough medicine, many wounded people who could have lived will die in vain. You know, the wounded will become veterans after they recover, and they can save a wounded person.
Just save one!"
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a high look at the logistics director from the military region.
Facing the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, what I thought most about was how to defeat the Japanese at the minimum cost. I never thought that there would be so many preparations in terms of logistics.
Now after listening to what Jiang Hongchun said, Wang Ping realized that he still had many deficiencies in logistics.
After looking at Jiang Hongchun with great admiration, Wang Ping decisively ordered: "From now on, these matters will be handed over to you, Director Jiang. Political Commissar, after the meeting is over, you will make a handover with Director Jiang and let him
Familiarize yourself with the situation as soon as possible. He is a professional in logistics and can definitely handle it better than us!"
"Also, Director Jiang, we definitely don't have enough of the medicines and grains you mentioned just now. Here I give you the authorization to purchase five thousand yuan from the funds first. If there is not enough, we will add more. Especially for medicines, the more the better. Buy
If you can't find it, you can find a way to find the Jinsui Army and the Central Army nearby. They must have it in their hands. At worst, we will spend more money!"
"Captain, please rest assured. I, Jiang Hongchun, will guarantee with my head that I will definitely complete the mission!" Jiang Hongchun had the feeling that a soldier would die for his confidant, and he assured with a confident look on his face.
