"Boss, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region personally sent a telegram. He disagreed with the headquarters' punishment of Wang Ping, and he also gave reasons!" The chief of staff walked into the war room of the Eighth Route Army headquarters with a telegram and told the deputy general manager
The conductor said.
The anger on the deputy commander's face has not subsided. As a senior commander, the deputy commander's biggest taboo is for his subordinates to disobey orders and disobey the rules. If the chief of staff had not repeatedly advised him, he would have thought of shooting Wang Ping.
Therefore, as soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief refused: "I don't care, no one can plead for this Wang Ping!"
"Since you have made a mistake, you will have to bear the price later. Otherwise, how will I, Lao Peng, lead the troops in the future! Send a telegram back to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and say that the order remains unchanged and the military region must execute it unconditionally!"
The chief of staff did not leave, but placed the telegram in front of the boss, and then said: "Boss, I think you should read this telegram. The reasons mentioned by Commander Nie in the telegram are very sufficient. And Commander Nie
I didn’t intercede for Wang Ping, I just wanted the headquarters to change the punishment measures and not transfer him out of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region!"
After repeated persuasion by the chief of staff, the deputy commander frowned and picked up the telegram.
Not long after, the anger on the deputy commander's face disappeared and was replaced by a deeply shocked expression. Then, the shocked expression was replaced by painful hesitation.
The chief of staff, who also wanted to keep Wang Ping as a talent, asked at the right time: "How are you doing, boss? Are you scared by the contents of the telegram?"
"I was shocked after reading the telegram. I didn't expect that Wang Ping, a small company-level staff officer, would make such a big contribution in one year. It can be said that for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to be in today's situation, Wang Ping
Ping played a big role invisibly. Especially this time in the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. Without him, Wang Ping would not have been able to achieve such a great victory! With such an excellent military leader, you would really be willing to let him work as a cook. Anyway,
It’s me, I can’t do it!”
The expression on the deputy commander's face has obviously improved a lot, and his words are not as angry as before.
"I have to admit that this Wang Ping is indeed a good fighter."
"However, no matter how fierce the battle is, we cannot rely on it. Anyone who does not take the rules of our Eighth Route Army into account will make mistakes."
The chief of staff quickly comforted him: "Boss, calm down. Wang Ping doesn't dare to make mistakes unless he has to."
"The telegram also said that the Independent Regiment at that time had reached a critical juncture of life and death. If Wang Ping had not used this method, the Independent Regiment would probably be doomed. I decided that the punishment must be punished, but it does not necessarily mean that he should be allowed to open the headquarters.
Being a cook. I think Commander Nie’s punishment is more appropriate~"
The deputy commander frowned and asked: "Chief of Staff, what benefits has this Wang Ping given you? How can you speak for him!"
The chief of staff shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There are no benefits, but boss, I really like this guy, especially after reading this telegram, I like him even more. Besides, Commander Nie and Yang Chengwu both value him.
The talents are definitely not much different!"
A helpless smile appeared on the deputy commander's face: "Well, you said that, what else can I say! Call Commander Nie back and the headquarters agrees with their disciplinary decision. Tell him that what he just said
The original text of the telegram was forwarded to Yan'an, and Yan'an must still be paying attention to this matter!"
"Yes, boss!" the staff officer breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said happily.
Because the troops captured a large amount of weapons and equipment, excluding heavy weapons, the large amount of light weapons captured alone was enough for the independent regiment to expand into a brigade at will.
Therefore, the recovery speed of the independent group is very fast.
Eight hundred people were transferred from local troops, plus 800 people who were converted from prisoners, as well as the lightly and seriously injured people who were gradually discharged from the field hospital.
In less than a month, the independent regiment was restored to its full strength of 2,500 men.
Early in the morning, as soon as Wang Ping arranged the troop training, the guard company commander Zhong Yusheng rushed into the war room rashly.
"Captain, the commander has arrived and has arrived at the gate of the station!"
"Why didn't you report earlier! Political Commissar, let's go out to meet the commander!" Wang Ping glared at Zhong Yusheng and said.
"No, I'm already here. It's not Company Commander Zhong's fault, it's my fault!" Commander Yang Chengwu's voice immediately sounded at the door of the war room, and then he saw him walking in happily.
After some pleasantries, the commander was not polite and asked directly: "Wang Ping, report to me the current situation of the independent regiment!"
"Yes, Commander!" Wang Ping's face immediately turned serious.
"The independent regiment has now returned to full strength of 2,500 people, including three main battalions, an artillery battalion, a heavy machine gun company, a guard company, an engineer company, a reconnaissance platoon, a communications platoon, plus the regiment headquarters
!”
"The three battalions each have three main companies, one fire company, one guard platoon, one reconnaissance squad, and one communications squad!"
"The infantry company has three infantry platoons, a grenade squad, and a guard squad!"
"The troops are currently undergoing recovery training. In less than two months, the combat effectiveness will definitely not be as good as before the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. After all, the losses in this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign were too great, and many local troops and captured soldiers have been recruited!"
The commander was very satisfied with the result, but the smile on his face did not last long before it was replaced by seriousness. A pair of eyes kept glancing back and forth between Cheng Xiao and Wang Ping, and it took a full minute before he asked.
"You should have guessed the purpose of my coming here this time!"
Wang Ping has been waiting for this day, but now that the day has arrived, he has become very calm.
"Commander, I understand. I must be punished. I made a big mistake in this matter. Even if you shoot me, it's not too much!"
"You still know!" When this matter was mentioned, the commander became angry and couldn't help cursing.
"Do you know that just because of your recklessness, not only did you lose an opportunity for promotion, but I also suffered a big punishment!"
Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious: "Commander, no matter what the punishment, I don't regret it. If I had to choose again, I would do it again. No matter what, I will not watch the Independent Regiment being raped by the Japanese."
The whole army may be crippled or even destroyed. If my life can be exchanged for the lives of thousands of Japanese, it will definitely be worth it!"
"I know you are stubborn and stubborn. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore!" The commander waved his hand and replied helplessly.
Then he took out a document and began to announce the order.
"In order to further strengthen the anti-Japanese armed strength of Laiyuan, the military region decided to reorganize the independent regiment of the first division: the independent regiment was expanded into a strengthened regiment, the regiment was directly under the artillery battalion, the battalion was directly under the artillery company, the heavy machine gun company was directly under the firepower platoon, and the total strength was three
Fifteen hundred people!”
"You have captured a lot of heavy artillery this time. It is certainly unrealistic to keep them all. I discussed with Commander Nie and decided to leave you with the heavy equipment and light weapons of an artillery battalion, three mortar companies, and three heavy machine gun companies.
Make up for whatever is missing. Because the transportation of the three heavy artillery pieces was inconvenient, a separate heavy artillery company was set up and temporarily placed under the command of the independent regiment. If needed on other battlefields, the division and military divisions can transfer them at any time!"
