The commander had an expression of disbelief on his face.
He knows the personalities of his several regiment leaders better than anyone else. When there are good things, everyone wants to keep them for themselves and equip their own troops, and Wang Ping is no exception.
If you don't have the shamelessness to ask for it, they will never take the initiative to hand it over.
However, the commander did not dwell on this issue. The new regiment's current equipment was all snatched from the Japanese with real swords and guns based on their own strength.
Moreover, the new regiment belongs to the 386th Brigade. Even if one day it is separated from the headquarters, it will still be the Eighth Route Army. If the equipment is provided to them, there will be no problem at all.
He took a deep breath and said, "Now I finally understand why you, Wang Ping, are so bold!"
"With such good equipment, as long as I have enough ammunition, I dare to fight head-on with the Japanese!"
Wang Ping immediately replied: "Commander is wise, in order to fight this battle successfully, our new regiment has destroyed all its wealth. Otherwise, we would not have ended the battle and carried out new operations when the troops suffered such heavy losses!"
"
"The ammunition I know of alone includes: more than 900 kilograms of explosives, nearly 1,400 rounds of various artillery shells, and 300,000 to 400,000 rounds of bullets. If we hadn't captured the enemy's ammunition while replenishing the troops during the battle, we would have directly
We can replenish the ground and use it in the next battle. We won’t be able to fight this battle halfway through!”
"That's not right..." The commander immediately noticed the problem and asked with a frown.
"You destroyed so many Japanese and puppet troops, and you fought basically a battle of annihilation. You must have captured a lot. Even if some were used in the battle, there should be a lot left. How could you not gain anything and be forced to continue fighting!"
Wang Ping replied with a wry smile: "It's the devil's fault. Halfway through the battle, the devils went crazy and started destroying the extra weapons and ammunition in their hands, preventing us from seizing them. So, after the battle,
The few seizures are not even enough to replenish battlefield losses, let alone any surplus!"
The commander's face quickly became serious.
Although the Eighth Route Army already has its own arsenal.
However, the production capacity is limited, and the scale and scope of activities of the Eighth Route Army are constantly increasing. Among other things, it is difficult to supplement the 386th Brigade alone because it is too far away.
In this case, battlefield capture became the only way for the troops to replenish equipment.
If the Japanese on the battlefield are like this, destroying their own weapons and ammunition before dying, then the Eighth Route Army will not be able to get supplies during the battle.
More importantly, fighting not only requires the consumption of ammunition, but also a large amount of equipment. If the troops cannot be replenished by seizing them on the battlefield, the troops' equipment will definitely become less and less as they fight, and their strength will become more and more limited.
After taking a deep breath, he replied: "The Japs are too cunning. If this is the case, our situation will be very dangerous. On the battlefield, in order to obtain equipment and ammunition supplies, we have to fight with the Japs and sacrifice several soldiers to grab the Japs."
It’s a machine gun or rifle that I didn’t have time to destroy!”
"Commander, don't worry too much. This time we didn't expect the Japanese to be so ruthless, and we suffered a loss later. If I knew in advance that the Japanese would destroy weapons and ammunition, during the battle, I would order the troops to fight quickly and kill them with bayonets and hand-to-hand combat."
Don't give them a chance to destroy weapons and ammunition!" Wang Ping analyzed with a serious look.
"Also, what the Japs are best at is fighting with bayonets. If we choose to fight with them on bayonets, they will definitely think that they can survive and keep the weapons and ammunition. In this case, they will be fooled. Because I will equip the commandos with
A lot of pistols, use the pistol to break their stabs and kill them quickly."
"Although the casualties will be higher this way, as long as we can capture the weapons and ammunition in the hands of the Japanese and prevent them from destroying them, the casualties are still worth it."
The commander's brows, which were frowning just now, suddenly relaxed.
His eyes lit up and he agreed: "Yes, this is indeed a good method. When I return to the military area, I will definitely promote this method to every army!"
After finishing speaking, the commander frowned again, then stared at Wang Ping and asked.
"No, Wang Ping, you almost took me there!"
"More than a month ago, the new regiment came out. If I remember correctly, you suffered heavy losses at that time. The total strength of the entire regiment was more than a thousand people. Even if you seized a sufficient amount of equipment from the Japanese, it would still be a loss.
There aren’t that many troops to use!”
"Of course, you can recruit new soldiers in Linfen, but in such a short time, even if you recruit new soldiers, you will not have enough time to train them. In this case, you will definitely not let a group of untrained new soldiers fight
For the elite Japs, that is not fighting, it is risking death!"
"You tell me clearly what's going on here, don't hide it. If possible, I will also promote your method throughout the army!"
Wang Ping immediately replied: "Commander, you are serious. There is no good solution. It is entirely due to my new regiment's good luck!"
"Linfen, as an important transportation thoroughfare, not only stationed a large number of Japanese troops, but also stationed a large number of puppet troops. In addition, there were prisoners of the Northwest Army and Jinsui Army sent back by the Japanese from the front line!"
"The reason why the New Regiment was able to grow and regain its combat effectiveness in such a short period of time is that our new recruits basically come from prisoners of the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army in the hands of the puppet army and the Japanese!"
"They all have combat capabilities. They just need to undergo some overall training, and then equip them with good weapons and equipment and sufficient weapons and ammunition, and they can go to the battlefield immediately!"
"Among these new recruits, the prisoners of the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army who we rescued from the Japs performed best. Because they had been prisoners, they knew better than anyone the consequences of being captured by the Japs. Therefore, they worked particularly hard on the battlefield.
And he has very rich combat experience!”
"Now in the entire New Regiment, at least 30% of the squad and platoon leaders are prisoners of the Jinsui Army and Northwest Army that we rescued, and several of them have been promoted to the position of company commander due to their military exploits!"
"As for training, our new regiment does have some methods of its own. This is not a garrison. After this operation is over, return to the nearest garrison in Tianxin Town, and the brigade commander can see. Use this training method to train the troops.
, the speed is faster, and the trained soldiers are more effective in combat!"
"I'm waiting!" the commander replied expectantly.
Every time he comes to a new group, he basically brings something back with him.
Therefore, he looked forward to the training methods mentioned by Wang Ping more than anyone else.
Then he frowned and analyzed: "Except for training methods, using the captured puppet troops and the former Jinsui Army we rescued from the Japs, and the Northwest Army prisoners to replenish the troops is indeed a good way to quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
"We have the troops, plus the new regiment has such good equipment and plenty of ammunition. As long as we grasp the opportunity well, it is indeed possible to kill three to four thousand Japanese puppet troops!"
"However, there is a problem here. The development of your new regiment and the battle that the new regiment has just experienced cannot be copied! Otherwise, I will definitely promote it to the entire army. Then the Japanese and puppet troops in the entire Taiyue area will
That’s it!”
Wang Ping smiled awkwardly: "Commander, you are joking. Such a battle cannot be replicated!"
