At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff happily walked to the deputy commander-in-chief holding a telegram.
"Boss, after reading this telegram, you want to treat me to a good meal!" the chief of staff raised the telegram in his hand and said to the deputy commander.
The deputy commander had a puzzled expression on his face, but he still took the telegram and started browsing it.
Soon, the deputy commander's face became serious, and finally, there was even a shocked expression on his face.
After reading the telegram, he fell into deep thought without saying a word. It took a full minute before he replied to the chief of staff: "Okay, I'll treat you to this meal. Although I haven't read Wang Ping, the content of this telegram is very interesting." This once proved to me that this Wang Ping is indeed a talent, and it is very suitable for him to be the director of the arsenal with Lao Nie!"
The deputy commander-in-chief, who has always been serious and upright, actually admitted his mistake because of a telegram. This shows how much this telegram shocked him!
The chief of staff's face also became serious, "Boss, what do you think of this telegram?"
"Full support, but some details still need to be considered. For example, who gives the professors a grade, and if this person changes and becomes mediocre after having a grade, can his grade be lowered? But in any case, there is no problem with the overall content of the telegram, and I completely agree!"
"I agree too!" the chief of staff affirmed.
"There are various reasons why we cannot develop in many aspects. But a very important factor is the lack of talents. Whether it is local or military, many cadres do not know the characters, which is definitely a shortcoming of ours!"
"Our Eighth Route Army is poor and cannot spend large sums of money to recruit talents like Lao Chiang. However, Wang Ping and Lao Nie's proposal directly solves this problem and improves the status of intellectuals through political treatment, thus attracting them to come. Our Eighth Route Army can also attract more young people to learn culture and technology!"
The deputy commander didn't waste any time and ordered directly: "Then send a telegram to Yan'an. We completely agree with Lao Nie and Wang Ping's proposal, but we still need to consider the details. We recommend that Yan'an form a government order and the entire army implement it!" Wang Ping never thought that his proposal would cause such a big stir in the Eighth Route Army headquarters and Yan'an.
After the telegram was sent, Commander Nie did not let Wang Ping leave. Instead, he asked the staff to find a map and spread it in front of Wang Ping.
"This is the distribution map of all the large and small coal mines and iron mines controlled by the Japanese in the base area!" Because Wang Ping had studied this map before attacking Guangtouling Coal Mine, Wang Ping could see it at a glance.
"Not bad!" Commander Nie affirmed.
"One Guangtouling coal mine devil has hoarded so many good things. If all the thirty or forty coal mines in the entire base area were added up, there would be countless explosives and equipment. I have an idea. Since the arsenal is short of equipment, then we can use it. These coal mines and iron mines are starting to launch a big attack battle for the Japanese. However, the target of this attack battle is not the roads and railways, but the Japanese coal mines and iron mines!"
"Although the military regions suffered a lot of losses in the last counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, they also fought a lot of annihilation battles. There were almost 20,000 new recruits formed in each military region. With so many recruits, there is an urgent need for battlefield training. , and large-scale raid warfare is the best way to train troops!"
"It can not only train troops, but also destroy the resource supply of the Japanese. It can also seize a large amount of materials and equipment to build an arsenal. It can accomplish multiple things with one stone."
"You just captured a medium-sized coal mine from the Japanese. You have experience. Tell me what you think!"
Even Commander Yang of the military division was not qualified to comment on such a big thing as launching a large-scale raid, let alone a small regiment-level cadre himself.
Therefore, facing Commander Nie's gaze towards him, the always decisive Wang Ping actually hesitated!
Commander Nie clearly saw Wang Ping's worry: "Don't worry, just say what you have to say? This is just an idea of mine, and your opinion is just a reference!"
"Yes, Chief!" Wang Ping nodded in reply, and then his mind began to work rapidly.
Finally, he mustered up the courage to object: "Chief, if it were me, I would not agree to launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese and puppet troops!"
Commander Nie frowned, but soon relaxed. Then he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "Tell me your reasons!"
Wang Ping suddenly thought of the advantages and disadvantages that would be brought to the Eighth Route Army after launching the Hundred Regiment War in front of them. After sorting out the confusing thoughts in his mind, Wang Ping replied: "It is undeniable that the three advantages you just mentioned are obvious.
.But I wonder if you, Chief, have considered the possible disadvantages that large-scale sabotage warfare may bring to us."
"Guangtouling Coal Mine is only a medium-sized coal mine. Although I captured it with very few casualties, we used a trick to capture it by defeating them one by one while the Japanese were out for raids. After entering the coal mine, we looked at the mine's fortifications and
Regarding the equipment of the defenders, I am sure that if we attack from the front, even if we have artillery, we will have to pay at least two companies of casualties to capture it!"
"Impossible! According to the intelligence, there are not many Japanese troops protecting these mines. Most of them are mine protection teams and imperial alliance troops recruited by the Japanese mine owners themselves! They really have such a strong fighting power!" Commander Nie did not speak.
The chief of staff next to him asked in disbelief.
"Chief, don't underestimate these mine protection teams!" Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious.
"After attacking the Guangtouling Coal Mine, I am sure that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese mine protection team is no worse than their army, and is even a little stronger."
"According to the captured Imperial Association Army's confession, the mine protection team is composed entirely of veterans who have retired from the Japs. They kill without blinking an eye, and are extremely ruthless. As for combat experience, needless to say, they are very powerful, no better than the veterans of the Japs' army.
It’s worse!”
"Also, the equipment of the mine protection team is very good!"
"The Guangtouling Coal Mine's Japanese mine protection team is about a small team in strength, because the mine protection team is the mine owner's private armed force, and the mine owner is very rich. In order to protect his own financial resources, he bought a lot of ordinary Japanese military equipment for the mine protection team.
Light and heavy weapons that are rarely equipped.”
"For example, the mine protection team of Guangtouling Coal Mine has more than 60 Japanese soldiers equipped with more than 40 38-guns, four machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and two grenade launchers. As for ammunition, that's even more
There are so many, a small ammunition depot was built directly in the mine, with more than 20,000 rounds of various bullets!"
"As long as they are given strong enough fortifications and terrain, and sufficient supplies and ammunition reserves, they can hold on for four or five days."
The chief of staff asked with a serious face: "Wang Ping, everything you just said is true!"
"I'm sure, and there is evidence. According to the testimony of the Imperial Association Army, the equipment of the iron mine protection team is better than that of the coal mine. They are also equipped with mortars and other heavy weapons. Some iron mines even have machine gun bunkers!" Wang Ping
Answered very seriously.
"Get out! There's no fat here, they're all hedgehogs!" Commander Nie, who rarely got angry, suddenly cursed with anger on his face.
Then he ordered the chief of staff: "The Intelligence Department needs to review. Such important information has not been discovered. If Wang Ping hadn't reminded us and we had attacked rashly, the losses to the troops would have definitely exceeded our imagination!"
"Commander, please rest assured. After I get down, I will instruct the Intelligence Department to find out the situation!" the chief of staff replied seriously.
Commander Nie nodded, looked at Wang Ping with admiration in his eyes, and continued to ask.
"Besides this, is there any other reason?"
