"No, I, the political commissar, the chief of staff, Director Deng, and Director Jiang, the five of us will go there together." Wang Ping directly stopped Deng Hongtao who was about to leave.
"All the Party Committee of the Independent Youth League went over and announced this decision to everyone together. Only then will it be more credible and everyone will believe in us more!"
Political commissar Cheng Xiao immediately added: "The leader is right, let's go there together!"
"After solving the problem of the disability of the troops, the soldiers will definitely be more brave when fighting in the future and no longer have so many scruples!"
"I think back when we were on the Long March, every soldier was not afraid of sacrifice, but he was afraid of one thing, serious injury and disability. Now that we have a base and a stable rear area, we must not let the soldiers have anything on the battlefield. No worries!"
The political commissar announced the independent regiment's various methods for dealing with disabled soldiers in front of all the seriously injured soldiers, and promised that specific documents would be issued no later than this evening.
Wang Ping could clearly see that the depressed expressions on the faces of many disabled soldiers disappeared instantly, and some even began to smile.
The atmosphere in the field hospital gradually became lively from the initial depression and tension.
At the Military Region Headquarters, Commander Nie welcomed the arrival of Commander Yang of the First Division and waited directly at the entrance of the station for the arrival of Yang Chengwu.
Seeing more than ten carts behind Yang Chengwu, Commander Nie burst into laughter. As soon as he saw Yang Chengwu, he asked eagerly: "Old Yang, did you say you would give me a big gift? Tell me quickly. What are the dozens of large trucks at the back loaded with?"
"As far as I know, a lot of good things were brought back from the occupation of Laiyuan City in the first division this time. I won't agree to handing over less things!"
"Commander, please rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you and the Chief of Staff!" Yang Chengwu replied with confidence.
"When I came here this time, I brought a total of two thousand rifles. All of them were standard rifles, and there was not a single brand-name one. There were a total of one thousand 38-type rifles, and one thousand medium-sized rifles, each equipped with 150 rounds of bullets. Three hundred thousand rounds of ammunition in total!”
"In addition, I also brought ten crooked guns, five heavy machine guns, and five mortars. The light machine guns and heavy machine guns were each equipped with 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and the mortars were equipped with 500 rounds of artillery shells!"
"The last thing is medicine and money, a total of three boxes of western medicine, 50,000 yuan and gold and silver worth 20,000 yuan!"
"It seems that one of your divisions has indeed made a fortune!" the chief of staff exclaimed with surprise on his face.
Commander Nie also reacted: "I understand your character, Lao Yang. If you have good things, you must keep them first. Tell me the truth, what good things have you kept?"
"This..." Yang Chengwu showed an awkward expression on his face, and then hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"To tell you the truth, don't worry, I will never steal something that belongs to you!" Commander Nie interrupted directly.
"Yes, Commander, the equipment of three regiments has been left in the division. In addition, there is a mountain artillery company with six mountain cannons, an infantry artillery company with six infantry cannons, a mixed third company with two infantry cannons, and three field guns. Two mountain cannons! There is also a mortar battery with nine mortars!" Yang Chengwu did not dare to hide it and answered immediately.
"Hiss!" There was a sound of breathing all around.
Commander Nie and Chief of Staff Tang were also shocked and took a breath of cold air.
Commander Nie reacted first. He glanced at Yang Chengwu thoughtfully and then ordered: "Let's go to the war room first. These equipment will be sent directly to the logistics department and will be distributed uniformly at that time!"
As soon as the three people entered the war room, Commander Nie signaled the guards to be on guard outside.
Then he stared at the map and asked Yang Chengwu: "I just left three regiments of equipment. Lao Yang, do you have any ideas?"
"Also, as far as I know, the two regiments that attacked Laiyuan City in the first division did not return to the base area, but went to the east and west to attack the surrounding counties. You must have some purpose!"
"The commander is wise!" Yang Chengwu no longer concealed anything, and immediately revealed all his thoughts based on the map.
"According to the intelligence, among the counties around Laiyuan, except for one brigade in Laiyuan, the other counties have at most one infantry brigade in strength!"
"After the main force of the Japanese army in Laiyuan was wiped out by us, all the remaining Japs retreated to the county seat. The Japs in other counties had no support and also retreated to the county seat. I, Yang Chengwu, would definitely not let go of the opportunity to expand the base area and mobilize the people.
Pass."
"As a result, the two main force groups did not return to the base area. One went east and the other went west to expand the base area!"
"How's the effect?" Commander Nie asked, staring at the map.
Yang Chengwu immediately circled the four counties on the map, and then replied: "Very good. The two regiments control most of the countryside in the two counties respectively. Due to lack of troops, we have temporarily stopped. However, we will recruit troops to expand the Eighth Route Army and establish base areas."
, the formation of militias has not stopped."
"So far, the first regiment has expanded to 4,500 men, and the second regiment has also expanded to 4,000 men! The third regiment left behind in the base area has not been idle either, and the total strength has also expanded to 3,500 men!"
"I plan to use the equipment and ammunition captured this time to expand the three main regiments into detachments. Each detachment has two regiments, an artillery company, and a guard battalion!"
"The mortar company and guard company directly under the regiment..."
"After the expansion, the total strength of each detachment will reach 4,500 to 5,000 people!"
"Where is the independent regiment in Laiyuan City?" Commander Nie nodded and continued to ask.
"The independent regiment will not expand, but it can increase its establishment and become a reinforced regiment directly under the military division..."
After thinking about it against the map for a minute, Commander Nie's face immediately became firm, and then he answered very decisively: "I agree with your expansion plan, and I will send a telegram to the headquarters soon. I believe the head of the headquarters will definitely support it!"
"Three detachments plus a reinforcement regiment, plus other troops directly under your division, that's a small number of 20,000 people. Lao Yang, if the head of the headquarters knew that you took less than half a year to transform the troops from the original eight
If the number of people expands from 100 to 20,000, they will definitely be too happy to sleep!"
Yang Chengwu replied very matter-of-factly: "To be honest, Commander, I didn't expect it either."
"I thought about it carefully before coming here. The reason why it has developed so fast is that Wang Ping, Wang Ping of the Independent Group, played a crucial role."
"Without Wang Ping, there would be no current independent regiment, and there would be no such great victory some time ago. It would be impossible for us to seize so much equipment, expand the troops, and expand the base area!"
Commander Nie was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted: "It's true! I remember that Wang Ping was a company-level staff officer in your headquarters a few months ago. Only a short time later, he used his military exploits to become the commander of the reinforced regiment.
Lao Yang, you have gained another talent who knows how to fight!"
Yang Chengwu immediately added: "Commander, Wang Ping is a talent from our first division, and he must also be from the military region!"
"Speaking of him, there is one more thing I want to report. It is a recommendation report jointly given to me by Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao. I think it is very good, but it requires the consent of the military region and the headquarters before it can be implemented!"
After speaking, Yang Chengwu handed Commander Nie a telegram about the establishment of militia and local troops.
Soon, Commander Nie gave a very positive answer: "The idea is very good. It not only ensures local production, but also ensures the combat effectiveness of the main force and local troops. I completely agree. Such a good suggestion must be promoted, and I will immediately
Send a telegram to the headquarters, such a good suggestion, whoever obstructs the promotion will be a sinner!"
