"You, Wang Ping, have won such a big victory, why don't I come and check on you?" Yang Chengwu said angrily.
Wang Ping asked with a look of disbelief: "I must be here to see the weapons and ammunition!"
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Yang Chengwu subconsciously walked towards the entrance of the village where a large number of weapons and ammunition were piled up.
First, he picked up a gun and took a closer look. While sighing that it was a good gun, he picked up a crooked handle and turned it over and over.
After reading it, mortars, infantry artillery, and mountain artillery finally attracted him.
Touching a mountain cannon with a cold barrel still feels like stroking your own child. It’s very fascinating!
At this time, the chief of staff rushed over and asked Yang Chengwu: "Old Yang, the commander is waiting for our call back. He wants to know the specific battle process!"
Yang Chengwu immediately reacted and replied: "The commander responded to the telegram so quickly! It seems that the radio is indeed a good thing. No matter where the other party is, as long as the other party's radio station is turned on, the other party can be contacted immediately!"
After reading the telegram, Yang Chengwu didn't think much and left Wang Ping behind, asking Wang Ping to report the battle directly to the military region. As for Yang Chengwu, he continued to shuttle among the mountains of weapons and ammunition at the entrance of the village.
It was a few hours after the Military Region Headquarters received Wang Ping's telegram. After reading the telegram, Commander Nie Rongzhen, Chief of Staff Tang Yanjie, and five or six staff officers of the headquarters all looked shocked and said no for a long time.
Say a word.
"Have you heard of this Wang Ping before?" Nie Rongzhen first broke the silence at the headquarters and asked.
Just when everyone was shaking their heads, a staff officer replied: "I know him! He went to the Red Army University, worked as a battalion instructor, and almost died on the Long March. If Commander Yang hadn't insisted on taking him out, he would have died on the grass.
superior!"
"A veteran of the Red Army, he went to Red Army University and also served as a battalion instructor. It seems that Yang Chengwu brought back a general from the grassland! If nothing else, judging from this battle, this Wang Ping is expected to be the regiment leader.
strength!"
"No, after this counter-encirclement and suppression battle is over, I'm going to meet this Wang Ping in the First Military Division to see what kind of person he is. He has the courage to fight against an elite Japanese infantry brigade with a company, and he also defeated it.
Japanese Army!”
"No!" Chief of Staff Tang Yanjie refused without thinking.
"The road is too dangerous. Commander, if you really want to see Wang Ping, you can send Wang Ping to the military area with just a telegram. There is no need to take such a big risk!"
"Do you think I really came here just to meet Wang Ping?" In front of his old partner, Nie Rongzhen was not polite at all and responded with a mysterious look!
Tang Yanjie was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted!
"Commander, I understand, you are here for the weapons!"
"The person who knows me is the chief of staff!" Nie Rongzhen did not hide his thoughts and answered very readily.
"After the military division, the direct-affiliated troops were left with an understaffed guard battalion. Not only were the troops insufficient, but the equipment was also poor. The entire battalion only had three machine guns in total, and one of them frequently broke down!"
"If we encounter the enemy, the guard battalion will definitely not be able to cover the military district headquarters and escape unscathed!"
"The counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in front of me has taught me a lesson. The military region must have a strong enough force to protect the military region headquarters in peacetime. In case of emergencies, it can also reinforce the following military divisions. Therefore, I plan to put the military region directly under the
The guard battalion was expanded into a guard regiment, specially used to deal with possible emergencies in the military region!"
"I'm not worried about the expansion of troops. As long as the situation in the base area opens up, there will be a steady stream of young people joining us. The only problem is the equipment. Now that Yang Chengwu has seized so much equipment, it shouldn't be an exaggeration to hand some of it over to the military region."
"But it's not like you don't know the tempers of the commanders below. If you have good things, you must hide them for yourself. If I don't go down personally, the weapons they hand over must have been eliminated by the main force!"
"This time when we go to Yang Chengwu's place, let alone other weapons, as far as heavy weapons are concerned, we must at least bring back an artillery company!"
Yang Chengwu didn't know that Nie Rongzhen was already targeting the weapon he had just obtained and hadn't warmed up yet!
With hundreds of 38-inch guns that are at least 60% new, plus light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, two main battalions can be easily formed, plus an artillery battalion, and the third regiment of the military division will become
!
Thinking of this, a heartfelt smile appeared on Yang Chengwu's face unconsciously.
However, it is not the time to be truly happy now. After all, the Japanese are still entrenched in Lingqiu County and have not retreated.
Although the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were driven out of the battlefield by Zhang Qing's artillery fire were unwilling to do so, they were not impulsive to the point of being hot-headed.
They knew very well that dozens of them had become an appetizer in front of the Eighth Route Army, and they could eat them at any time if they wanted.
Therefore, these dozens of Japanese soldiers made the decision to retreat all the way back to the county seat while avoiding the shelling.
At the Japanese Army Regiment Headquarters in Lingqiu County, after listening to the deputy captain's report and seeing the embarrassed look on his face, the commander was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He wanted to take out his gun and kill the opponent.
The commander finally held back and did not use the gun or knife.
But in order to vent his anger, he still raised his right hand and slapped the deputy captain several times!
Then he cursed loudly: "Baga, are you all stupid pigs? A whole infantry brigade can't even deal with a group of Tubal soldiers, and they were defeated by the opponent, and the whole army was almost destroyed. You are all cowards."
, is a disgrace to the imperial soldiers!”
Seeing that the commander's anger had dropped a lot, the commander of the team's staff next to him quickly comforted him.
"Your Majesty Colonel, together with the previous losses, the regiment headquarters has lost more than half of its troops! We just received news that the baggage squadron that was transporting supplies to us was attacked by Tubal Road on the road. The baggage squadron was completely destroyed and all the baggage was lost!"
"In addition, there are signs of Tubal Road activity in our rear. In less than two days, three empty strongholds were breached by Tubal Road, and nearly a combat team was lost!"
"Baga, when did this happen and why are you reporting it now?" the co-captain asked with an angry look on his face.
The chief of staff quickly replied: "I only received the report an hour ago! I'm sure this is a conspiracy of Tubal Road, attacking from inside and outside, forcing us to end this encirclement and suppression operation!"
"Baga, you are a cunning Tubalu, you know how to make sneak attacks, and you have the ability to fight the Imperial Japanese Army head-on and decide the outcome!" At this time, the captain of the regiment had no other way to vent his anger except to curse.
After finally getting tired of scolding, he asked the chief of staff: "What do you think! Should we continue to fight, or should we stop and end this encirclement and suppression operation? You must know that this encirclement and suppression operation is the responsibility of the division commander."
As soon as we retreat from the multi-pronged attack launched, the net surrounding Tubal Road will be broken, and the entire siege will be over!"
"This!" The chief of staff had a troubled expression on his face.
Even the commander of the company cannot decide such a big matter, let alone a small chief of staff!
The co-captain continued to add: "To be bold, only the two of us know about it, and I won't tell it!"
"Hi!" the chief of staff could only reply with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Captain, I think it's time for us to retreat. I don't know about other troops. Our regiment will be in more danger if we stay here for one more day!"
