Because I admire Shuai Nie very much, and it was the first time I had such a close contact with the founding father who I have admired for a long time.
Wang Ping was so excited that he stood in front of Commander Nie and could not say a word for a long time.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to know how you fought the Luojiawan battle from beginning to end. The telegram is not very clear, and I can't tell what you were thinking at the time!" Commander Nie said with a look full of expectation.
Comforting way!
Yang Chengwu then added: "Speak confidently and say whatever you have to say. Even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter. If you say it well, you will be rewarded!"
At this time, Wang Ping did not know that he had been appointed as the commander of the independent battalion directly under the military division, so Yang Chengwu planned to take this opportunity to announce the appointment to Wang Ping in front of Commander Nie!
Wang Ping blushed, smiled sheepishly, and then began to tell the story of the entire battle.
Commander Nie and Yang Chengwu both listened with serious faces. When they heard something they didn't understand, they directly asked questions. They even asked Wang Ping what he was thinking at the time and why he made the next decision!
Soon, Commander Nie's serious face showed an expression of shock and admiration.
The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He did not expect that Wang Ping, a company commander, had such superb commanding ability, and his thinking was so careful that the Japanese did not even have room to fight back.
It fully fulfilled what Yang Chengwu said at the beginning. Wang Ping, who was standing in front of him and talking quickly, already had the ability to be a regiment leader, or even a brigade commander. The only drawback was that he was too young and had insufficient qualifications.
There are some shortcomings!
However, Nie Rongzhen is sure that as long as he sharpens himself a little on the battlefield and accumulates more experience and qualifications, it won't take long for Wang Ping to grow into an excellent general!
Under this situation, Nie Rongzhen also had the idea of loving talents.
As soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, Nie Rongzhen asked tentatively: "Wang Ping, you are very good. How are you? Are you interested in going to the military region with me? The military region's guard battalion is about to expand. Come with me to the military region. The guard regiment has a battalion commander."
The position is definitely indispensable. No, in addition to the position of battalion commander, I can also give you the position of chief of staff of the security regiment, so that you can hold it together!"
As soon as Nie Rongzhen said this, Yang Chengwu's expression changed.
Because the conditions offered by Nie Rongzhen to Wang Ping were so good, the chief of staff of the military region's security regiment, as long as there was a chance to be posted outside, would be the head of the main regiment.
Yang Chengwu, who was deeply afraid that Wang Ping would lose control and be asked to pass by the commander, said quickly!
"Commander, you can't be like this. I won't say more about taking away so many weapons. You come to my place to poach people, and you still let them live! I don't have many officers in my hands. It's hard to find one.
A capable person must not be taken away by you!"
Nie Rongzhen really fell in love with Wang Ping and started to recruit him.
In order to get Wang Ping, he even pretended to be the commander of the military region and gave orders to Yang Chengwu.
"Whether Wang Ping goes or stays, it doesn't matter what you say, nor does it matter what I say. He decides for himself. If he wants to, he can go to the military area with me. If he doesn't want to, he can stay here!"
After hearing this, Yang Chengwu could only blink at Wang Ping.
Seeing that Wang Ping didn't respond, he couldn't help but remind him: "Wang Ping, the chief of staff and I just reported to the commander for approval to form an independent battalion directly under the military division based on the guard company. You will be the battalion commander!"
"Although the level is half a level lower than the Chief of Staff of the Military Region Guard Corps, there are many rules after arriving in the military region, and there are few battles. But it is different if you stay here. The independent battalion has certain rights to fight independently, as long as you have the ability
, if we can seize equipment and recruit people, the independent battalion may be expanded into an independent regiment at any time!"
What Yang Chengwu said was true, and Nie Rongzhen had no way to refute it.
But as the commander of a military region, some promises and guarantees can still be made.
As soon as Yang Chengwu finished speaking, he said: "You follow me to the military area. As long as you keep making progress, I promise to let you go down there and become the regiment leader in two years at the latest!"
Commander Nie actually offered such good terms in order to win over him. As an admirer of Commander Nie, Wang Ping was very excited.
However, he did not lose his mind.
If this was a peaceful time, the development prospects in the military region would definitely be brighter than in the military subdivisions below. After all, the military region has a wider platform, and if you stay with Commander Nie every day, you would definitely have more opportunities for promotion if you were decentralized than if you stayed in the military subdivisions below.
a lot of.
But now is the war era. In this era, the main basis for a soldier to be promoted is military merit.
No matter how qualified you are, no matter how rich your combat experience is, no matter how strong your commanding ability is, as long as you don't have enough military exploits to convince others, even if you gain the trust of your superiors and get promoted, you still won't be able to convince others.
Compared with joining the military district guard corps, it is obviously easier to obtain military exploits by serving as an independent battalion commander in the military district below.
Besides, many of my own training methods and combat methods were brought from later generations. Even if they are not incompatible with the current mainstream combat model of the Eighth Route Army, they are still very different.
Under such circumstances, serving as a battalion commander in a guard regiment and being commanded and managed by others is obviously not as satisfying as being the commander of an independent battalion and commanding operations on your own.
Under the gaze of Nie Shuai and Commander Yang, Wang Ping only hesitated for a few seconds before making a decision.
"Reporting to the commander, I am still willing to stay in the frontline combat unit. I like to fight. I will definitely not be used to joining the military guard regiment. Please forgive me, commander!"
Nie Shuai was not angry, but showed a very appreciative look.
"I have already guessed this result. If you choose to go to the military zone, I will look down on you!"
Seeing that Yang Chengwu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, Nie Shuai continued: "Old Yang, I heard that you brought Wang Ping out because of your insistence on the Long March. Now it seems that you brought out a talented person for me to watch.
Talent that everyone is jealous of!”
Hearing Nie Shuai praising him like this, Wang Ping showed an embarrassed expression again.
Nie Shuai had no intention of stopping, and then said to Wang Ping himself: "I heard from your commander that you are very good at collecting equipment and fighting. Here I also give you a promise, as long as you can get rid of the enemy
Once I get a battalion of artillery, or a battalion of heavy machine guns, I will promote you to regimental commander. Of course, promotion comes with promotion. As a commander, I am very poor. I cannot give you a rifle, the support of a soldier, and everything else.
