"Comrades, more than a month ago, the Japanese special forces attacked the headquarters of the New Regiment. Then the entire New Regiment suffered heavy losses under the Japanese attack. Less than 300 people were left and fled to this forest. All of them
All the cadres above the battalion were killed. For the New Regiment, this battle is definitely a humiliating battle that everyone will remember forever." Standing in front of hundreds of officers and soldiers, the brigade commander shouted at the top of his voice.
"No, that battle was not only a shame for the New Regiment, but also a shame for our 386th Brigade, and a shame for integrating the Eighth Route Army."
At this point, many cadres and soldiers' faces turned red.
Some were angry, some were aggrieved, and some looked murderous with clenched fists, looking like they might kill someone at any time.
Brigadier Chen wanted this effect, so he stopped irritating everyone, changed the subject, and continued.
"However, what makes me happy is that you are not afraid of the Japanese. Under the command of the new regiment commander, you have continued to attack and turn things around, and you have developed a remnant regiment with a total strength of less than 300 people into this. Now, I
I can tell everyone that you have created a miracle, a miracle of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Now I announce that the new regiment has officially begun to reorganize. Your regiment leader will personally announce the reorganization order!"
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of scorching eyes, Wang Ping stood up: "Now I announce that Zhong Chenggong is the chief of staff of the new regiment!"
"Xiong Changhe, serves as the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment!"
"Xiao Yunshan, serves as the commander of the second battalion of the New First Regiment!"
"Yang Huping, serves as the commander of the third battalion of the new regiment!"
"Wang Daoshan, serve as the commander of the new battalion of the new regiment!"
…
Compared with the serious atmosphere at the conference venue, the small conference room after the conference was full of arguments.
"Stop arguing. The regiment commander is here. There are only so many recruits. The regiment commander knows how many people are assigned to each battalion!" Seeing the regiment commander walking in with a frown on his face, Zhong Chenggong fulfilled his duties as chief of staff very well.
.
"They all want soldiers, right?" Wang Ping asked with a smile instead of anger, looking at the several battalion commanders who were blushing.
The three battalion commanders lowered their heads at the same time and said nothing.
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly said something that shocked everyone in the conference room!
"It's okay to say you want soldiers. I want them too, but the Japs won't give them to me. If the Japs don't block the army so tightly, I wouldn't think it's too much even if the new regiment recruits three thousand new soldiers!"
Xiong Changhe said: "The regiment leader is right, no one will complain that he has too many soldiers. My first battalion is the main battalion, and it must be fully staffed. Now the whole battalion, including me, only has 112 people, a shortfall of 388.
We are full of talented people, regimental commander and chief of staff, do you think?"
"The Second Battalion is still short of 402 people!" Xiao Yunshan, the commander of the Second Battalion, immediately added.
The commander of the third battalion, Yang Huping, became anxious and said immediately: "Commander, you can't be partial. Our third battalion is also the main battalion. We will change the full strength of 415 people!"
Wang Ping stared at the three people. After looking at each of them for several seconds, he asked: "I just calculated that the total number of recruits requested by your three battalions is more than 1,200. However, all the recruits in the hands of the Chief of Staff are
There are only a thousand people in total, even if I give them all to you, it won’t be enough!”
"Also, these thousand recruits have been given to you. The regiment headquarters is directly under the guard company. What will happen to the artillery company?"
"Who is responsible for the safety of the regiment? Let you protect the safety of the regiment!"
"Without an artillery company, does that mean you won't need artillery support when you fight the Japanese in the future?"
After a series of rhetorical questions, the three battalion commanders all lowered their heads. However, no one took the initiative to ask for fewer recruits.
All three of them knew that now was not the time to be polite. With fewer recruits added, the troops would not be fully staffed and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced. By then, whether their battalion can become the main force of the new regiment may depend on its combat effectiveness.
Wang Ping had climbed up from a warrior step by step, and he could see what these people were thinking at a glance.
Then he continued: "My original idea was that the guard company, the artillery company, and the two main battalions would be fully staffed, and the remaining main battalion would just set up a shelf, and we would replenish it when there are new recruits in the future!"
At this point, Wang Ping could clearly see three pairs of eyes looking towards him at the same time, and the owners of these three pairs of eyes were the three battalion commanders.
The three people who had lowered their heads just now were all staring at themselves nervously, fearing that their battalion would be selected as the shelf camp.
At this moment, Wang Ping changed the subject and said: "But now I have decided to change my original idea and reorganization plan!"
"Your three battalions are all outstanding. No matter which two battalions are selected to be fully staffed, it will not be fair to the other battalion. Therefore, I have decided that except for the guard company and the artillery company of the entire regiment, all three of your battalions will be fully staffed."
Only ensure that two companies are fully staffed. As for the other company, set up the frame first!"
"Of course, don't underestimate this stand company. Maybe in a few months, or even a month, this stand company will develop into a well-deserved main company among your three battalions!"
Wang Ping's words made everyone in the headquarters look puzzled, including Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong.
Because this idea suddenly came to Wang Ping, and it only came to him after thinking about the Japanese bombing two days ago.
"The Japanese bombing of us two days ago is still fresh in everyone's memory. If we hadn't used our tactics, our new regiment would have suffered heavy losses if our entire army had not been destroyed."
"But, can this strategy keep the Japanese believing that our new regiment's station has indeed been bombed? We still need to continue to act for the Japanese!"
"Some people may ask why it is so troublesome. The reason is simple. Our new group needs time."
"Thousands of new recruits are required to replenish the troops, and it will take a lot of time for them to be fully integrated into the Eighth Route Army, integrated into our new regiment, and then formed into combat effectiveness."
"And during this period, the little devils had better not come and cause trouble."
"If you want to cook, the simplest and most direct way is to make the Japanese believe that our new regiment's station was indeed bombed!"
Xiong Changhe, who had already performed a play under the noses of the Japanese, immediately asked: "Captain, how do you perform the play? If you want to kill the Japanese, you must count me as one of the battalions!"
"And my second battalion!"
"The third battalion also wants to join! Commander, you can't be partial and leave the third battalion behind every time you take action!" The other two battalion commanders immediately responded, with expressions of eagerness to try, fearing that they would be too late and the mission would be compromised.
Xiong Changhe was snatched away.
Wang Ping was very satisfied with the reactions of the three battalion commanders. In his opinion, the most indispensable thing for an army to make continuous progress is this competitive spirit!
Then he answered with certainty: "Don't worry, all three of your battalions are involved in this drama, and the protagonist is the shelf company of your three battalions!"
"When the Japanese army bombed our camp, our materials and food supplies would definitely be gone, and we would not be able to survive even if we tried our best. Therefore, I planned to send them out for development, pretending that there was no way to survive in the mountains, so we had to
The illusion of getting out!”
"Each company has 30 people, and with enough weapons and ammunition, I will find a way to send them out to develop in three different directions in Linfen. I don't care if they are fighting against the Sustainers, the puppets, or the Japanese.
In a few months, as long as the size of the army grows to a company, when the main force comes out, he will directly take up the position of deputy battalion commander!"
