"If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say. They are responsible, and I, the leader, must be responsible!" Wang Ping made the decision without explanation.
"I will personally write a review, criticize myself at the Youth League Party Committee, and then request punishment from the military division. Therefore, each of you will also write a review, and you will read your own review at the League Party Committee. If the review fails, you will be punished.
Sorry, the battalion commander will be demoted to deputy battalion commander~"
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone in the headquarters breathed a sigh of relief.
The expressions of the three battalion commanders in particular changed the most. They took a long breath and answered loudly.
Wang Ping nodded and continued to order: "Political Commissar, the troops have suffered heavy losses now. The Japanese army's heavy encirclement and suppression may start at any time. We must restore our combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
Cheng Xiao answered with a clear expression: "Tonight we were defeated, but last night we won and captured at least 800 Imperial Army troops. After mobilization and screening, at least 500 people will join us!"
"These people were all members of the Central Army and Jinsui Army who fought against the Japanese. They are well-trained, but they only became the Imperial Association Army for various reasons. As long as we do our ideological work well, these people will be able to do well as soon as they join the army.
Form a fighting force!"
"Yes, but these people cannot be replenished all at once. Some people in the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army are well trained, and some are poorly trained." Wang Ping affirmed after thinking about it.
"So, three hundred elites will be selected from the middle to supplement them, and the remaining shortfalls in the main force will be supplemented by local troops. The extra prisoners will be distributed to various local troops to further improve their combat capabilities!"
"No problem, I will make arrangements with the chief of staff after we get down!" Cheng Xiao affirmed.
Then he continued to answer: "There is no problem with the equipment!"
"The weapons and ammunition we captured yesterday can equip a regiment. Not only can we make up for today's shortfalls, but there will be more. I plan to send all the extra to the guerrillas!"
In the next half month, the independent regiment did not take the initiative to attack once except for reconnaissance.
It's not that Wang Ping is afraid of being beaten by the Japanese, it's that Wang Ping can't be beaten now.
With a formidable enemy at hand and a counter-encirclement and suppression campaign likely to begin at any time, Wang Ping's urgent priority was to restore the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment. Only in this way would he be more confident to face the heavy encirclement and suppression force of the Japanese and puppet troops.
At the military region headquarters, as soon as the chief of staff walked into the headquarters, he chased Commander Nie as if collecting debts and asked.
"Commander, according to the order, the second, third, and fourth military divisions will allocate two main companies respectively, and then supplement the local troops to form three new regiments. Now the three regiments have been formed, but each
The regiment only has more than 100 rifles with polished riflings brought out by each military division for training. There is not a single machine gun, let alone artillery and ammunition! If the weapons and ammunition you promised at that time are not available,
Come on, these three regiments will not be able to form combat effectiveness before the Japanese encirclement and suppression!"
"I believe Wang Ping. Since he agreed, he will definitely do it! Just wait!" Commander Nie was also very anxious.
The heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops may begin at any time, and there are still three regiments in hand that cannot participate in the battle because they have no weapons. Without these three regiments, the counter-encirclement and suppression plan that I formulated from the beginning will not be implemented.
Just when Commander Nie was frowning and wondering whether he was going to send a telegram to a division, the head of the headquarters' security regiment suddenly rushed in.
"Commander, weapons and ammunition, the first division sent us a lot of weapons and ammunition!"
"Where?" Commander Nie stared at the head of the guard and asked.
"We have already arrived at the station. I asked them to park all their large vehicles in the woods next to the training ground to guard against bombing by Japanese planes!"
As soon as he finished listening, Commander Nie walked out and said to the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, the weapons and ammunition you asked for are here!"
As soon as he reached his destination, Commander Nie saw a familiar figure directing the troops to drag large trucks loaded with various supplies into the woods.
After seeing Commander Nie, he quickly ran over and reported: "Report to the leader, Jiang Hongchun, director of the logistics department of the independent regiment, was ordered to escort the supplies to report. This is the list of supplies!"
"I know you. I met you at the Party Committee of the Independence League. If I remember correctly, you established the chicken farm, clothing factory, pig farm, sheep farm, and farm of the Independence League all by yourself!"
Commander Nie praised without hesitation.
Jiang Hongchun quickly said humbly: "Chief, those are our group leader's ideas, I'm just executing them. If I take credit, it all belongs to our group leader!"
"What's yours is yours. If it weren't for your courage, you wouldn't have been able to hear your regimental leader spreading the stall so big!" Commander Nie couldn't help but reply.
Then he handed the list handed over by Jiang Hongchun to the chief of staff who had been waiting for it for a long time: "I won't read the list. You can directly report how much equipment was shipped. I remember clearly that your regimental commander gave me an immediate report at that time.
Got the military order!"
"Please rest assured, chief, I promise it will only be a little more!" Jiang Hongchun replied with confidence.
"There are a total of 3,200 rifles, more than 1,100 of which are 38-type caps, and the rest are old slides and medium-sized rifles. We pack them separately!"
"There are a total of 27 light machine guns, nine heavy machine guns, twenty-seven grenade launchers, nine mortars, and three infantry guns!"
"In terms of ammunition, no matter what kind of rifle, our regiment leader is equipped with a hundred rounds of ammunition!"
"The light machine gun can fire 500 rounds of ammunition, but the heavy machine gun can fire 1,000 rounds."
"Five hundred special grenade grenades, nine hundred mortar shells, and one hundred and fifty infantry artillery shells!"
Commander Nie was shocked and asked with disbelief: "How come there are so many! I remember that the quantity promised by your regiment leader was not like this."
"There are also mortars, what about infantry artillery, and a lot more light and heavy machine guns!"
Jiang Hongchun quickly replied: "It is true that there are not so many repaired weapons and ammunition. However, before departure, our independent regiment fought with the Japanese and seized a lot of equipment and ammunition. Our regiment leader knew that the leader wanted these weapons, so he seized them
Most of the equipment has been delivered!”
"Okay, good job. When you get back, thank your captain for me!" Commander Nie said with emotion on his face.
Then he said to the Chief of Staff: "I said that the weapons and ammunition will be sent to the first division. I will definitely send them. Chief of Staff, immediately organize people to count the equipment and ammunition, and then distribute them as soon as possible."
"Each military division is given a thousand rifles, nine light machine guns, nine grenade launchers, three heavy machine guns, three mortars, and one infantry gun, and the ammunition is all equally divided. The extra rifles supplement the military district guard regiment.
.Tell the three military divisions that I will send them weapons and ammunition, but the three new regiments must initially form combat effectiveness within half a month!"
"There must be no problem!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"The three newly formed regiments are a mixture of the main force and local troops. They have already been trained. As long as they are given weapons and have completed adaptive training, they can go to the battlefield at any time!"
"Then we'll wait and see!" Commander Nie answered happily and confidently.
Because, with these three new regiments, the counter-encirclement and suppression plan that he had designated long ago can be carried out. When the time comes, it will definitely give the Japanese and puppet troops a very big surprise.
