Chapter seven hundred and eighty first brigade commander
"The Eighth Route Army does have this rule. Captures taken on the battlefield must be turned over and distributed uniformly to ensure fairness. This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army has strong combat effectiveness and defeated the Imperial Army time and time again!" Major General Matsumoto replied with a stern face.
The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, the general, is right. Fairness ensures that the commanders of the various units of the Eighth Route Army have no selfish intentions and dare to fight bravely. However, because the Chinese government army and other local armies cannot be fair, the commanders of various units on the battlefield are
Only officials will compete for fame and fortune, which affects the combat effectiveness of the troops, and then they are defeated by our imperial army time and time again!"
Major General Matsumoto nodded in approval, and then shifted the topic back to Shinichi.
"Now the new regiment has no artillery battalion and no heavy artillery! Compared with the Imperial Army, they have lost another advantage. As long as the Imperial Army carries a sufficient number of artillery and heavy artillery, we don't have to be afraid of them even if they fight at night!"
"Also, we should pay a little attention to the new barracks and garrison camps they are about to establish. Closely monitor the strength and equipment of these troops. I don't want to see another army suddenly appear on the battlefield when we attack a new regiment in the future.
force!"
The intelligence staff officer immediately replied: "Hey, I will arrange a humble position after I get down!"
At this moment, Matsumoto suddenly thought of the large amount of equipment that the brigade lacked to regain its strength.
He frowned and stared at the chief of staff and asked: "In two days, the equipment and ammunition transferred to us by the headquarters will be ready. Are our troops ready to go to the headquarters to take over this batch of equipment and ammunition?"
"
"Hi, we are ready and ready to go at any time!" the chief of staff replied immediately.
"The baggage team directly under the brigade is responsible for taking over all equipment and ammunition and transporting it by car. According to your order, we will take the road outside the new regiment's control area. Although it will take two hours longer, we can ensure safety!"
"In addition, I am also preparing to deploy a cavalry brigade, a mixed brigade, an armored vehicle squadron, and an engineer squadron directly under the brigade to protect the safe delivery of these equipment and ammunition to Linfen City!"
Major General Matsumoto thought for a moment and gave the chief of staff a very positive answer.
"It's a good idea for the armored squadron to also participate in the operation!"
"Distribute the armored vehicles of the armored squadron among the vehicles. If the convoy is attacked, these armored vehicles will be the mobile firepower point of the entire convoy."
"I completely agree with this plan. It is up to you, Chief of Staff, to formulate the specific action plan!"
Taiyue Military Region Headquarters and the news that the military region requested the new regiment to disband the artillery battalion also came through.
The first reaction of the commanders of several other military divisions was to take out all the artillery that they usually hid, and then report it to the military region and request the formation of an artillery battery. They were deeply afraid that the commander would make a surprise attack and that all the artillery they had worked so hard to save would be lost.
All the artillery pieces were in vain and were ordered to be removed by the military district.
"Commander, your reputation has been ruined by this rumor. However, it is not without its benefits. All the family backgrounds of several division commanders and regimental commanders were forced out at once. If you don't know it, you will be frightened.
"Jump, I didn't expect that there are so many artillery hidden in our military region, and the commanders who usually don't show off their appearance are holding a battery of artillery in each hand."
"This Wang Ping really dares to do this!" the commander cursed angrily.
Of course, he was not really angry. Seeing the puzzled expression on the political commissar's face, the commander immediately told a joke he had made with Wang Ping when he was in the New Regiment, and then added.
"I thought Wang Ping was just talking, but I didn't expect that he would dare to say such things!"
"However, as long as you can make the Japanese believe that this is true, it doesn't matter if you take the blame. If you go to a new regiment in the future, you must ask him for at least one regiment's equipment as compensation. No, at least one brigade, my face doesn't matter
It’s worth the equipment of a brigade wherever you put it!”
"Immediately call back those commanders and regimental commanders. The military region agrees to their request to form an artillery company! Now that the blame has been taken, let's do it more truthfully. Didn't I bring back a lot of artillery from Wang Ping? I took out nine
Come out and send it to the commander and regiment commander below so that their artillery batteries can be fully manned."
"The infantry artillery company directly under the brigade was directly expanded into an artillery battalion, with an infantry artillery company and a heavy mortar company under its jurisdiction!"
"The heavy mortar that Wang Ping brought to us from the headquarters also has a lot of shells. Take them all out and form a heavy mortar company!"
After the news of the establishment of an artillery battalion in the military region spread, Major General Matsumoto, who was far away in Linfen City, became more convinced of the news that the artillery battalion of the New Regiment had been disbanded. He was also very sure that the New Regiment no longer had an artillery unit that could threaten the imperial army.
At the new regiment headquarters in Sanquan Town, Wang Ping also received news from the military region and immediately realized that the commander of the military region was cooperating with him in a show.
"The Japanese must now completely believe that we have no artillery!" Wang Ping replied with certainty.
Then he ordered Zhong Chenggong: "Chief of Staff, give the mountain artillery battalion an order to seize the time to train troops so that the troops can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rapid footsteps reached Wang Ping's ears, and then he saw the communications staff rushing into the war room.
"Regiment leader, chief of staff, urgent reconnaissance dispatch: "The Japanese army assembled hundreds of vehicles this morning, as well as a large number of troops, even cavalry, and armored vehicles. They suddenly left the city and did not know where to go."
"The reconnaissance platoon concluded that the Japanese should have given up transporting equipment and ammunition by rail and instead transported them by road by car!"
"It's very possible!" Wang Ping frowned suddenly.
Then he ordered: "Chief of Staff, please contact the direct team immediately to see if there is any movement from them!"
Within half an hour, the chief of staff came back with a very solemn expression.
"Captain, you are right. The Japanese really plan to transport equipment and ammunition to Linfen City via the highway!"
Then he suggested to Wang Ping: "How about I lead people to kill him immediately and destroy the highway that the little devil is preparing to transport!"
"It's useless!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied!
There are several roads from Linfen City to the Japs Logistics Base, and two of them are not within the scope of our base area. Send out large forces to destroy the roads, and I guarantee that we will be discovered by the Japs as soon as we leave the base area!"
"The weapons and ammunition that the Japanese want to transport are related to the future of their brigade. Even if they try their best, they will send troops to guard the road and prevent us from destroying it. Therefore, this plan will not work!"
"Besides, the Japanese escort force includes infantry, cavalry, and armored troops. There are fewer people going. That's not fighting the Japanese, it's sending someone to death!"
"Then we will just watch helplessly as the Japs send equipment and ammunition to Linfen City and form troops to attack our base area!" the chief of staff shouted with a look of reluctance.
Wang Ping replied solemnly: "We can't stop the transportation of equipment and ammunition to Linfen City by road, but we need to let the devils know that even if they take the road, they will pay a high price and the speed is slow. Forcing them
Take the rails again.”
