"What if we bring back a battalion?" Xiong Changhe's voice reached Wang Ping's ears again.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, Xiong Changhe showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
If you bring back a company, you will be the deputy battalion commander. According to this standard, if you bring back a battalion, you will be at least the battalion commander, or even the deputy regimental commander.
However, the new regiment only had three main battalions, and there was no place for him at all. This completely posed a problem for Wang Ping.
However, a difficult problem is a difficult problem. After Xiong Changhe's words came out, the eyes of all his subordinates still focused on Wang Ping, wanting to know the answer.
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
It is almost impossible to pull out a battalion of troops in a month under the heavy siege of the Japanese army, but it is not impossible. Maybe I have such talents in my hands, and I don't mind drawing one for everyone.
Big pie, find this talent.
After smiling, he replied: "This proposal from Battalion Commander Xiong is very good. If we can bring back a battalion, I will personally ask the brigade commander to organize a battalion. The position of commander of the fourth battalion of the new regiment will be his, regardless of his previous
Whether it's platoon commander or company commander, I only care about the results!"
"However, I also have requirements. Whether it is a company or a battalion, what I want are troops that can fight, not soldiers and generals who are just trying to make up for their numbers!"
"Also, the company commanders of the three companies set off to the headquarters. I will provide you with weapons and equipment for at least fifty people and enough ammunition. As for food, you can only solve it by yourself. How can you do it under the Japanese?
It’s up to them to survive the heavy encirclement and suppression by themselves!”
Wang Ping broke through the Japanese blockade several times in a row, and the last permanent firepower point was officially put into use just now.
On the blockade that stretches for nearly ten kilometers, there are six strongholds with turrets, large and small, and 16 firepower points with machine gun bunkers and turrets, with an average of one every 300 to 400 meters. A squadron is stationed in bunkers with weaker firepower.
The Japs add two machine guns, and with strong firepower, they directly station an infantry squad and a heavy machine gun squad.
With these condescending firepower points, the bullets fired by the Japanese can cover the entire blockade.
If the Eighth Route Army wants to pass this blockade, whether it is entering or leaving the mountain, it can only use its life to fill it. There is no other way.
At six o'clock in the evening, the battalion commander did not leave after inspecting the last firepower point and decided to stay here for one night.
The Japanese squad leader stationed here did not miss this opportunity to curry favor with the captain, and tried every means to prepare delicious food for the captain.
While ordering the nearby maintenance team to prepare wine and meat to be sent to the stronghold, he also took the initiative to send troops into the mountains to bring back some prey for the captain.
The performance and compliments of the squad leader put the captain in a very good mood. Even though he didn't drink much, he couldn't help but drink two more glasses of good wine, and then fell asleep in the room carefully prepared by the squad leader.
At this moment, Wang Ping led three companies, artillery company, and guard company, directly behind a mountain ridge less than 500 meters away from the Japanese stronghold.
Regardless of whether it was the Japanese stronghold further away or the bunkers and gun towers closer, they all emitted dots of light.
Through the telescope, Wang Ping could clearly see that there were people patrolling on top of the gun towers and bunkers. Because they were too far away, it was difficult to tell whether they were Japanese soldiers or puppet troops.
Looking between the stronghold and the bunker, the patrol team composed of puppet troops had no intention of stopping and continued to patrol back and forth.
Hong Ruijun, the old Red Army squad leader who was appointed by himself as the guard company commander a few days ago, became serious when he saw this, and then frowned and reminded: "Captain, the Japanese and puppet troops are too heavily guarded.
Permanent firepower points have been built, and the condescending firepower can block the entire blockade. Unless we destroy a firepower point and create a fire blind spot on the defense line, we will not be able to rush through at all!"
Putting down his telescope, Wang Ping answered in agreement: "Whether it's a force attack or a sneak attack, we can't get through it!"
Artillery company commander Chen Dong immediately reminded: "Otherwise we will still use the old method!"
"Captain, I have prepared the chili powder. They are the hottest chili peppers. They will definitely choke the Japanese and make them lose their fighting ability!"
Wang Ping thought for a while and replied: "It's probably useless. The Japs have been fooled once and it's hard to make the same mistake again! Moreover, as long as the Japs are equipped with gas masks, our chili powder shells will have no effect on them!"
"However, we can experiment first. Maybe the Japanese are not equipped with gas masks yet, and then we have a chance!"
In less than twenty minutes, the three mortars brought by the artillery company started firing.
"Baga, it's an artillery attack, enter the position, the Eighth Route Army is coming, they are going to attack us!" The scream of artillery shells flying through the sky suddenly woke up the sleeping sergeant.
However, until he jumped up from the bed and touched the shooting hole, he still didn't hear the violent explosion.
And the screams of artillery shells coming from far and near were still coming.
"Cough cough cough..." Suddenly, a pungent smell of chili powder came in from the shooting hole.
The sergeant's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "These are the pepper shells made by the Eighth Route Army. Let's put on our gas masks and prepare to fight!"
"Tubalu must be starving in the mountains, and they want to rush out!"
As soon as I put on the gas mask, thick red smoke spread around the bunker, and then poured into the bunker through the shooting holes.
Within a few seconds, the entire bunker was shrouded in thick red smoke.
"Captain, the smoke is too thick and you can't see outside the bunker at all!" the machine gunner who was holding a light machine gun next to the shooting hole shouted anxiously.
"I can't see anything either!" another machine gunner added hastily.
The sergeant frowned and made the decision: "Shoot, shoot now!"
"The enemy may attack us at any time. For safety reasons, we must not let them get close to us!"
"Da da da..." The two machine gunners fired decisively, and the whizzing bullets passed through the smoke and flew close to the ground toward the foot of the mountain.
"Captain, the chili cannonballs don't seem to be working!" The sudden sound of gunfire broke Chen Dong's dream of using the chili cannonballs to break through the blockade.
"The Japanese must have equipped the troops on the blockade with gas masks!" Wang Ping judged with a frown.
The guard company commander next to him became anxious and immediately asked: "What should we do? The Japs' machine gun fired so well. There was smoke blocking the field of vision and the bullets flew close to the ground. If there was no smoke, the shooting would definitely be more accurate. Let's do it again."
It’s impossible for multiple people to rush towards the bullet!”
This sentence sounded very demoralizing, but Wang Ping did not deny it.
"Not only are the Japs in the bunker difficult to deal with, but further away, the Japs in the stronghold can also shoot down here. When the time comes, the machine gun bullets fired from two directions will form a cross fire, and they can completely interweave into a bullet net here.
,stop us!”
Wang Ping's words made the morale of several people suddenly become low, especially Hong Ruijun, who directly replied in a serious tone: "Commander, then it is not impossible for us to cross this blockade line and be completely blocked by the Japanese in the mountains!"
At this moment, a confident smile suddenly flashed across Wang Ping's face.
Then he came up with an astonishing answer: "If we can't walk through it on the ground, we'll rush through it underground!"
