One battalion and one company of the new regiment, the only infantry phalanx participating in the parade, had been transferred to a secret training camp in the mountains one day ago.
Also transferred were the mortar platoon from the artillery company and a heavy machine gun platoon from the heavy machine gun company.
"The leader is here, everyone, please assemble quickly..." Before Wang Ping could reach the entrance of the training camp, a rapid assembly whistle sounded in the military camp.
A team of more than 200 people was assembled into three square formations of different sizes according to the organizational structure.
"Report to the commander, the first battalion, the first company, the artillery company, the mortar platoon, and the heavy machine gun company platoon have been assembled. Please give instructions!" The first company commander ran to Wang Ping and reported.
"Take a break..." Wang Ping ordered in return.
After glancing at the more than two hundred subordinates, he said: "Comrades, do you know why I gathered everyone here?"
"In three months, the Eighth Route Army headquarters will hold a grand military parade in southwestern Shanxi, and your company will represent our new regiment of nearly 20,000 infantrymen in this military parade..."
"At that time, the heads of our Eighth Route Army at all levels will be watching you. Your company must be in your best condition to welcome the review of the superior leaders, and show the strong combat effectiveness and best condition of our new regiment!"
"Do you have the confidence to do it?"
"have……"
More than two hundred people roared in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky...
Wang Ping continued: "In order to show the best appearance of our new regiment, from now on, not only you, but all the troops of the entire Eighth Route Army participating in the military parade will come here one after another for training. You are the first to come here.
Troops must train faster than other troops, good!"
"Report to the captain, do I have a problem?" The first company commander suddenly stood up and shouted.
Wang Ping didn't know many company-level cadres, but he was very familiar with the first company commander.
When he first arrived at the new regiment, he was faced with a group of defeated soldiers, and it was this first company commander who served as his bodyguard.
Now being valued by Xiong Changhe as the first company commander and future battalion commander, it shows that this former guard is still very capable!
He nodded and ordered: "Speak..."
The first company commander hesitated for a few seconds and then asked bravely: "Captain, is the military parade just a matter of lining up in a neat queue and walking in front of the rostrum?"
Wang Ping affirmed: "General military parades are indeed like this!"
"However, I want to make this military parade special because it is called a battlefield parade!"
"It's not about showing off the situation for everyone to see. It's about forming a battle formation, and you can go into battle at any time during the military parade!"
"Only in this way can the powerful combat effectiveness of our Eighth Route Army be demonstrated on the parade ground!"
"My idea is that before the parade platform, the troops march in a combat formation. When approaching the parade platform, I will leave a large enough space, and the troops will immediately spread out and advance in an offensive formation. After passing the parade platform, the troops will quickly
Complete the assembly, form a combat formation and continue marching forward, back to the starting point!"
"So, from now on, what the troops need to train is how to ensure that the team moves in unison during the battle formation march!"
"Then the training troops quickly deployed, simulated being attacked and then quickly deployed and launched an attack!"
"Finally, the training troops quickly completed their assembly and returned to the starting point in neat formation!"
"Now let me organize you into formations: one company, one platoon, first echelon, two platoon, second echelon, three platoon, third echelon, guard squad, small artillery squad, fourth echelon, heavy machine gun platoon, fifth echelon, mortar platoon
The last echelon..."
Wang Ping stayed in the training camp for nearly five days before the first company's training became regular.
At this time, the two review phalanxes of the Taiyue Military Region closest to the new regiment rushed to the training camp and began to receive training.
At the independent division station of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Army Division, division commander Cheng Xiao still maintains the habit of looking at the map whenever he has free time!
It has been more than two months since the last counter-mopping operation ended. The strong logistics reserves allowed the independent division to make up for all losses in just one month!
Because they fought several tough battles in the last counter-mopping campaign, the independent division's current combat effectiveness is only stronger than before.
If a knife is not used for a long time and is not sharpened, it will definitely rust.
The same goes for the army. They train every day. If there is no actual combat test, the combat effectiveness of the army will only become weaker and weaker.
This was what Wang Ping said when he was the leader of the Independent Regiment.
As his old partner, Cheng Xiao was also the most influenced by Wang Ping. He recognized this sentence very much, and he only did this!
As long as there are fighter planes around the Independent Division's station, he will pull the troops out to practice, even if it is a sneak attack.
This is also a very important reason why the independent division continues to grow and develop in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and has become the first-class main force.
At this moment, with his eyes never leaving the map, he was looking for fighters for his troops!
"Division Commander, the military region forwards an order to the headquarters!"
"Why do we need the headquarters to give orders to our independent division? Is there any big operation that our independent division needs to participate in!" Cheng Xiao's eyes finally left the map and quickly shot out two rays of light, and then they became hot.
"Going to Linfen?" Cheng Xiao said with a puzzled look on his face.
The chief of staff next to him said: "Linfen? Commander, if I remember correctly, the old regiment commander seems to be in Linfen?"
"Not bad!" Cheng Xiao affirmed.
"The old regiment leader is worthy of being an old regiment leader. He went into southwestern Shanxi alone, took a new regiment that was crippled, and forced himself to carve out a world in southwestern Shanxi and develop the entire southwestern Shanxi into our base area!"
The chief of staff asked tentatively: "Then you said that the headquarters asking you to go to Linfen has something to do with the old regiment leader?"
"Headquarters asked me to take the special operations brigade of the independent division with me. The special operations brigade was established by the old regiment leader. No one knows special operations better than him. Now that I am asked to lead the special operations brigade to Linfen, I must have something to do with him.
relation!"
"It's been five years since we said goodbye to our old regiment leader. I must go see him when I go to Linfen this time!"
"Chief of Staff, please stay behind. If you have any important matters, send me a telegram directly... I will take the special operations brigade and the first company of the guard battalion and set off as soon as possible!"
"Headquarters asked me to arrive in Linfen within ten days. Time is tight and I must hurry up!"
At the World War II Area Headquarters, the Director of Intelligence frowned and came to Commander Yan to report.
"Commander, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army in southwest Shanxi has been a little strange lately!"
"No, it should be said that the entire Eighth Route Army in North China has been a little strange recently!"
"Although they and the Japanese have been recovering their strength in the past few months and preparing for the next big battle. However, there are always small thoughts between them and the Japanese, and various small-scale battles occur every day!"
"But starting five days ago, all these small-scale battles disappeared overnight, and the Japanese army was in a completely indifferent situation!"
"As long as the Japanese don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will definitely not go to the Japanese to cause trouble!"
