Guard company, fourth battalion and tenth company, supply company, engineer platoon, mortar company and one mortar platoon, heavy machine gun company and one heavy machine gun platoon, nearly 600 troops went to the World War II zone with Wang Ping.
Because the baggage was accompanied by a large number of mules and horses, Wang Ping did not want the Japanese to know where he was going. He tried his best to take small roads along the way, and chose to travel day and night. It took a total of five days to reach the area less than five kilometers away from the front line of the World War II zone.
A mountainous area.
A Japanese infantry regiment was stationed outside the mountainous area. It had just finished its attack on the Jinsui Army in front and was resting!
"Captain, except for a few guard posts and patrols, the Japanese have almost no main force on the front line. They are too arrogant. If I were the commander of the Shanxi-Sui Army on the opposite side, I would definitely order the troops to launch a counterattack to catch the Japanese by surprise!" Guard
The company commander's face was still excited at first, but when he said the last sentence, his face already showed an expression of hatred for steel.
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "The problem is, you are not the commander of the Shanxi-Sui Army opposite!"
"It's not that they don't know that the Japs' defense line is full of loopholes, and they don't take them seriously at all. It's that the World War II zone headquarters doesn't allow them to attack casually to anger the Japs! In this case, tens of thousands of Japs on the front line will definitely launch a new wave of attacks.
This round of offensive will put huge pressure on the World War II zone!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Ping began to issue orders: "Now it seems that there will be no problem in passing through the Japanese defense line, and then only the Japanese defense line of the Jinsui Army will be left!"
"Of course, this is not a problem. When the time comes, we will send a telegram directly to the World War II Zone Headquarters and ask them to send someone to respond and let them go directly!"
"Captain Wang, you lead the 10th company, heavy machine gun platoon, mortar platoon, and engineer platoon to stay here. Without my order, you will stay here on standby. Even if there are Japanese soldiers running in front of you, you can't fight! Guard company and engineers
Even come with me to the World War II defense zone!”
Wang Ping didn't spend much effort entering the World War II defense zone.
The New Regiment is now very famous and has orders from Chongqing. In addition, the New Regiment represents the Eighth Route Army. If the World War II Zone wants to defend this area in southwestern Shanxi, it needs the help of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, the World War II Zone has the same idea from top to bottom.
Not a single bullet of the equipment and ammunition promised by Chongqing will be withheld, all will be given to the new regiment, and then the new regiment will be sent out of the World War II zone earlier.
"Captain Wang, this is the list of weapons and ammunition that our commander asked the Logistics Department to prepare for your new regiment. In addition to the weapons and ammunition promised by Chongqing, our commander also added an additional 100,000 rounds of ammunition as a reward. After all, your Eighth Route Army is affiliated to
Second War Zone!" At the entrance of an ammunition depot in the World War II zone, a lieutenant colonel from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army first gave Wang Ping a military salute, and then took out a list and reported.
Wang Ping was not happy about the extra 100,000 rounds of ammunition for long.
Because, apart from weapons and ammunition, Wang Ping saw nothing in the equipment list, not even a military uniform, let alone the medicines that the Eighth Route Army was in urgent need of.
Wang Ping can think of ways to deal with military uniforms and quilts on his own.
However, medicine Wang Ping cannot solve it.
"Director Zhang, if I remember correctly, according to the rules, in addition to receiving the equipment of a regiment, I should also have a lot of supplies. In addition to weapons and bullets, fighting also requires medicine, a lot of medicine!"
"Our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese have a battle almost every two or three days, and the casualties among the troops are very high! Without medicine, those wounded will definitely not survive!"
"The new regiment Chongqing gave me is to strengthen the regiment. It has all the equipment. Now it is just short of medicines. No matter what, you have to give me three boxes of medicines!"
The smile on the lieutenant colonel's face suddenly disappeared, his head shook like a rattle and he refused.
"Captain Wang, please stop joking. If we don't mention three boxes of medicines, we won't be able to get even half a box out!"
"We are at war now, and medicines are needed everywhere. And our medicines are all allocated by Chongqing, and there are simply not enough!"
Wang Ping's face suddenly became heavy. He stared at the lieutenant colonel and asked patiently: "If three boxes are not enough, two boxes will do. It's also okay if there is not one box. Medicines are too important to our Eighth Route Army. The key is
A moment can save the lives of many soldiers!"
The lieutenant colonel director replied unmoved: "No, not even half a box..."
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly saw someone not far away moving things out of the warehouse, including several boxes of medicines.
Looking at the uniforms and armbands of these soldiers, Wang Ping immediately concluded that these people were from direct troops in the World War II zone.
They had a lot of medicines, but he didn't even have a box. Wang Ping suddenly became angry.
"Director Zhang, you just said that there are no more medicines in the World War II zone, so what are they carrying? Don't tell me that the boxes are full of bullets. If they are bullets, I can exchange them with two boxes of bullets.
They have a box of bullets!”
Wang Ping's words were definitely a slap in the face to Director Zhang.
Although he is only a lieutenant colonel, because he is in charge of the distribution of weapons and ammunition, even if the major generals and division commanders of the main force come over, they will call him brother. What's more, Wang Ping is only a colonel, and he is an Eighth Route Army Corps that cannot be beaten with eight poles.
long.
As a result, Director Zhang became angry.
Staring at Wang Ping, he shouted: "Captain Wang, please don't push yourself too far. If I say no, I won't. If you continue to argue here, be careful that the weapons and ammunition prepared by the headquarters for you will be greatly reduced!"
Wang Ping also got angry, stared at him and retorted: "In that case, don't blame me for sending a telegram to your commander!"
"This thing was promised to me by Chongqing. If you seize it privately, it will destroy the great situation of the war of resistance at hand!"
Director Zhang was not to be outdone and replied arrogantly: "Then just send a telegram!"
"To tell you the truth, not giving you medicine is an order from the headquarters. It's useless even if you send a telegram to Chongqing!"
I understand, I finally understand. On the surface, the World War II zone is polite to me, but in fact, it is still plotting against me.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Ping quickly grabbed Director Zhang who was about to leave: "Director Zhang, don't be angry!"
"We in the Eighth Route Army are poor and don't have any good gifts for you. This is the lieutenant's command knife of a hundred little devils. It belongs to the lieutenant and squadron leader. It was seized by our new regiment when they attacked Xiangfen County. Now I give it to Zhang on behalf of the new regiment.
Director, thank you for preparing so many weapons and ammunition for us."
Director Zhang stopped suddenly, looked at the command knife in Wang Ping's hand, and shot out two greedy glances.
There is no doubt that he wants to keep this command sword as his own.
If you stay in this position, the things you usually receive will be either oceans or gold.
However, as a soldier, what he desires most is a saber, a saber that symbolizes identity and status.
However, because I was in the logistics department and the Jinsui Army was engaged in defensive warfare, I rarely captured sabers, and even if I wanted to pay for them, I couldn't buy them.
And in front of him, there was a saber in front of him, and he was also the commander of the captain's squadron.
Although the current owner of the saber is still the Eighth Route Army, there is no benefit in having a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army. But the temptation of the saber to me is too great. After hesitating for a few seconds, I finally decided to accept the saber.
