Chapter 762 The brigade commander doesn't believe it
At the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters, the commander held a telegram in his hand, stared at the map, frowned, and did not say a word for a long time.
The chief of staff next to him hesitated and reminded: "Commander, I am 80% sure that the results in this telegram are exaggerated!"
"The New Regiment has only been out of the mountain for more than a month, and when it came out, it had just fought a big battle with the Japanese. Although they won, they also suffered a loss of troops. Under such circumstances, they still had the ability to continue fighting the Japanese, and
Two to three thousand Japanese puppet troops were wiped out one after another, how is this possible?"
"I admit that Commander Wang Pingwang has very strong commanding ability, but to achieve such great results in such a short period of time is outrageous!"
The commander did not answer, but turned to stare at the political commissar and asked: "What do you think of this telegram!"
"It's unbelievable!" the political commissar replied hesitantly.
But within a few seconds, the political commissar continued: "However, since Wang Ping came to our 386th Brigade, he has created miracles more than once. So, although it is difficult to believe the authenticity of the contents of the telegram, I hope that the contents of the telegram are true!"
"In this case, the New Regiment will have a firm foothold in Linfen City! It will only have advantages and no disadvantages for the entire anti-Japanese situation in Taiyue."
The commander finally spoke: "To be honest, I don't believe the contents of the telegram either!"
"The chief of staff made a good analysis just now. More than a month ago, the New Regiment suffered huge losses in order to get out of the mountains. Just now, they have come into conflict with the Japanese again, and they have also wiped out two to three thousand Japanese puppet troops!"
"Could it be that the Japs faced by the New Regiment are all weak, or is the New Regiment's combat effectiveness so powerful that even the Japs are no match for them?"
"Both scenarios are obviously impossible, so I don't believe this telegram either!"
The chief of staff said: "Commander, I will send a telegram back to the new regiment immediately and ask them to recalculate the results. It is best to send a copy of the battle process. With the specific battle process, the results should not be fake!"
"No!" the commander decisively refused.
"By sending them a telegram like this, doesn't it tell them clearly that the military region does not believe in their results?"
"If the battle report is true and our military district headquarters made a mistake and doubted them, it will chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers!"
The chief of staff suddenly frowned, stared at the commander and asked: "What should we do? Our only way to contact the new regiment is to send a telegram. If we don't call them back, we will never know about this battle!"
"Shall I go to Linfen myself?" the commander replied in a shocking tone.
Then he analyzed: "You should have read the order from the headquarters, which requires us to launch a large-scale raid to destroy the Japanese and puppet troops' communication lines behind enemy lines and support the front line. Tell Chongqing that our Eighth Route Army did not wander around as they rumored.
If you don’t attack, it will destroy the reputation of our Eighth Route Army!”
"According to the headquarters' plan, the attack war should begin in the next few days. And our entire Taiyue Military Region, Linfen, as a transportation artery, is undoubtedly the focus of this attack war, because the Tongpu Railway happens to start from
Passed through Linfen. The new regiment's activity range happened to be in Linfen, and now that this incident happened, I suddenly had an idea and decided to go to Linfen and directly participate in this breakthrough battle."
After the commander made a decision, even ten horses could not pull him back.
The political commissar and chief of staff were both aware of the commander's temper, so they did not dissuade him.
"Commander, I won't stop you, but you must bring the special operations team and the security company with you to ensure safety!" the political commissar made the only request.
The commander did not refuse: "Take them all with you. However, before we leave, there is one thing we must confirm!"
"Some time ago, the New Regiment was not so much a regiment as it was not even a battalion. At that time, there were not many things, and the regiment leader and political commissar Wang Ping could shoulder the responsibility. Now the New Regiment has grown bigger, and there are also
If he has lost his own base, it will be unreasonable for him to shoulder the responsibility of military and political affairs!"
"Regardless of whether the battle report in the telegram is true or not, Wang Ping proposed in the telegram to send a political commissar to the New Regiment. This request is not excessive!"
"So, let's finalize the candidate for the political commissar as soon as possible and come with me to Linfen!"
All political cadres are under the management of the political commissar. As soon as the commander finished speaking, the political commissar frowned.
He hesitated and asked: "Commander, what do you want from this political commissar!"
"First of all, you need to have rich political experience!" the commander suggested without thinking about it.
"The situation in Linfen is so bad. We must have an old political worker to cooperate with Wang Ping in managing the troops, so that Wang Ping can get away and concentrate on dealing with the Japanese!"
"Secondly, this person must have certain combat command experience and be able to command troops in combat without Wang Ping!"
"The last and most important point is that this political commissar must not be ambitious and must unconditionally cooperate with Wang Ping, the leader!"
"The situation in Linfen is far more severe than we imagined, and the number of Japanese and puppet troops we face is more than double that of other main regiments. If the new regiment wants to survive in this environment, whether it is peacetime or combat
, there must be only one voice in the group, and it must be Wang Ping’s voice.”
The political commissar reacted immediately, then frowned and fell into deep thought.
Soon, a candidate appeared in the political commissar's mind.
"Commander, how about Huang Yuanqiang, deputy director of the Political Department? A veteran of the Red Army, he has served as company commander and battalion commander, and his rank is exactly at the regiment level."
The commander immediately affirmed: "I know him, so I will let him serve as the political commissar of the new regiment and concurrently as the political commissar of the Fourth Army Division!"
At the Japanese Brigade Headquarters in Linfen City, Major General Matsumoto looked very unhappy when he walked out of his office.
The chief of staff, who had been waiting outside the office, was very anxious. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "General, what did the headquarters say?"
"No problem..." Major General Matsumoto replied with a frown!
"I asked many old classmates and elders to help, so the headquarters did not hold us accountable. However, the headquarters did not really let us go. Instead, it gave us a chance to eliminate the new regiment within two months and completely clear Linfen.
of the anti-Japanese armed forces!”
As long as there is a chance, anything else can be said. The chief of staff couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Then he stared at Matsumoto and continued to ask: "Where are the reinforcements? As long as the headquarters provides reinforcements, there will be no problem in destroying the new regiment in two months!"
"The headquarters decided to send a field infantry regiment, a field artillery brigade, and a tank brigade from the front to cooperate with us!"
"As for supplies and ammunition, the headquarters will mobilize them from other places and transport them to us via the Tongpu Railway!"
"So, you don't have to worry about reinforcements. From now on, we have only one mission, to mobilize all intelligence personnel and reconnaissance forces to find out the true strength of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army at all costs. I don't want to have another enemy behind us in the encirclement and suppression operations."
A main force of the Eighth Route Army appears that we don’t know about!”
The chief of staff was completely relieved and immediately replied: "Don't worry, General, I will handle this matter personally and ensure that the task is completed!"
