After the two people agreed on a time for the transaction, Wang Ping only stopped at the regiment station for more than an hour, had breakfast, and then continued on his way to the military division headquarters.
What Wang Ping didn't expect was that before he arrived at the command, his deed of using a full company of Japanese equipment and a large amount of ammunition to exchange 20 veterans from Chen Zhengxiang at the regiment station was reported to the headquarters.
For a time, everyone in the headquarters was looking forward to Wang Ping's arrival to see what good things the local tycoon Wang Ping had prepared for the headquarters.
The Military Region Headquarters, Yang Chengwu and the Chief of Staff were also discussing the deal.
"This Wang Ping is so cunning. A company may seem to have a lot of Japanese equipment, but as the army continues to expand, twenty old Red Army cadres will become more important. Wang Ping must have seen this before he was willing to come up with such a
I exchanged more equipment and ammunition with Commander Chen!" Chief of Staff Tang always guessed Wang Ping's purpose at first glance, and then said with a profound look on his face.
"It's not Chen Zhengxiang's fault. If he hadn't been in the base area and there was no fighting, he wouldn't have given Wang Ping so many veterans just for the equipment of a company!" Yang Chengwu explained.
However, Yang Chengwu did not expect that the reason why Chen Zhengxiang would agree to send twenty veterans was partly to provide equipment for a company, but also partly to return a small favor to Wang Ping.
During the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, if Wang Ping had not snatched a lot of equipment and ammunition from the Japanese army and sent them to the frontline combat troops in time, the casualties of the two main regiments in the division would have been much greater. Not only Chen Zhengxiang remembered this favor, but also the division
The second group also remembered this favor.
The chief of staff nodded and replied: "It is true that the two main force groups have suffered. The staff department is now formulating a plan. When there is no major war, can several main force groups in the military division each send a main force battalion to take turns to fight in the base area?
Fighting the Japanese outside. This can not only fight the Japanese, train the troops, expand the influence of our Eighth Route Army, but also reduce the burden on the base area."
Yang Chengwu's eyes lit up and he immediately affirmed: "The idea is good. Let's work out the plan as soon as possible. If it is feasible, we will report it to the military region and promote it throughout the military region. In that case, chief of staff, you will have made a great contribution!"
The chief of staff quickly waved his hand and replied: "No, Commander, even if I have the credit, it's not mine, it's Wang Ping's. This was Wang Ping's suggestion to me before he sent out troops. It was a waste for the main force to have so many troops staying in the base area for training every day.
To get food, we might as well take turns to attack and go outside the base area to find bad luck with the little devils!"
"We can not only fight the Japanese, but also seize equipment and supplies to arm ourselves. More importantly, we can also train troops. When I thought about it, I really wanted to go back like this, and then asked a few staff officers to formulate a plan without affecting the security of the base area.
Send out troops to attack the Japanese!"
"It's Wang Ping again! I can't understand him anymore!" Yang Chengwu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile.
The chief of staff agreed very much and said: "I can't understand him either. Especially when it comes to fighting, he is simply amazing. More than two hundred people went out, and they fought so many battles in just a few days, and they still won every one of them. Yesterday
When I saw the information sent back by the underground party, I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
"When he arrives at the headquarters later, I will definitely ask him what he was thinking when fighting these battles!"
"Plus me!" Yang Chengwu added with a deep meaning.
Then he continued: "According to the order given to him at that time, the independent battalion went to Laiyuan for one purpose, to obtain equipment and recruit new soldiers. With Wang Ping's methods and so many victorious battles, this purpose must have been achieved. Since it has been achieved
The independent battalion should come back together. But only Wang Ping came back. If I guessed correctly, Wang Ping must have some ideas to communicate with us when he comes back at this time. Chief of Staff, please provide all the information about Laiyuan as soon as possible.
If we gather them together, it might be useful!"
Near noon, Wang Ping finally arrived at the headquarters.
There is no doubt that as soon as Wang Ping arrived at the station, the group became the focus of the headquarters.
Especially the guards at the station were reluctant to leave as soon as their eyes were fixed on the weapons on the horses.
I don’t blame them either. Even though the rifles they brought back were all mid-range or other domestic rifles used by the pseudo-military, they were still very good rifles compared to the old sleeves with smooth rifling in their hands.
It turns out that after the guard company was expanded into an independent battalion, the headquarters established a new guard company.
At this time, Commander Yang Chengwu's old revolutionary style started again. According to the old rules, good guns are used by the frontline troops first. After the frontline troops are picked, the headquarters security company will only have dozens of main troops left.
The troops have completely eliminated unused old sleeves, and even have more than a dozen single-shot rifles.
Not only is the equipment poor, but the ammunition is also pitiful. Each gun is only allocated five rounds of bullets. If an enemy is encountered, let alone protecting the headquarters, the self-protection of the guard company will be a problem.
In the past few days, the newly appointed company commander of the guard company can be said to be worried, frightened, and deeply afraid of enemies appearing around the headquarters.
Now I suddenly heard that Wang Ping, the veteran commander of the guard company, had returned, and he had brought back a large amount of equipment and ammunition. The guard company commander seemed to have seen a savior and was very excited. He waited directly at the entrance of the village where the headquarters was located, waiting for Wang Ping
arrival.
When the soldiers who had just joined the guard company were looking eagerly at the equipment on the horses, the guard company commander Zhou was not much better. His eyes were shining as he stared at the weapons, and he wished he could just order his subordinates to snatch them off.
Wang Ping was well aware of the difficulties faced by the guard company, but the equipment on the horseback was for the military division. Without the commander's nod, even if he was still the owner of the equipment, he would not dare to touch it casually.
After being unable to withstand the tough talk from Captain Zhang of the guard company, Wang Ping was cruel and directly ordered the transport platoon to gather the equipment and give it to the guard company.
After all, the guard company has the responsibility to protect the headquarters. If the equipment is poorly equipped and encounters the enemy, the headquarters will be in danger.
Thirty-six bullets and thirty-eight bullets, plus 1,800 rounds of ammunition, for the security company, this is like pie in the sky.
While ordering his subordinates to move the equipment and ammunition back to the station, he kept thanking Wang Ping, and then repeatedly invited Wang Ping to go to the guard company after meeting the commander.
After finally sending away the guard company commander Zhou, Wang Ping walked to the headquarters before he could take a breath.
The commander must have known about his return, and maybe he is waiting at the headquarters now.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked to the door of the headquarters, I heard the commander laughing and scolding!
"Battal Commander Wang Ping, it seems that you have made a fortune in Laiyuan. You just sent out a company's equipment this morning, and now you have sent out more than 30 pieces of equipment. How much equipment will you pay later?
If you can't satisfy me with your weapons and ammunition, then you will be punished!"
Wang Ping quickly saluted Yang Chengwu and the chief of staff and said hello, and then promised: "Commander, please rest assured, chief of staff. The equipment and ammunition I brought were all personally counted by the instructor, and they will definitely satisfy the two chiefs! Here is the list,
There are a total of five crooked handles, four made in the Czech Republic, ten grenade launchers, 325 Chinese and formal rifles, 125 old sleeves, Mauser and other rifles, a total of 450 rifles, and matching bullets.
More than 38,000 rounds, I handed over as many as I seized on the battlefield, not a single bullet was left. In addition, I brought fifteen boxes of 30,000 rounds of 38-cap bullets, two hundred grenades, and not many grenades, only three hundred
Piece!"
"Also, in order to improve the food for the two chiefs, I carried the instructor on my back and brought you two boxes of canned food, one box of beef and one box of pork! There are also 1,000 pieces of cash and 15 small yellow croakers, which are worth
A thousand oceans of gold and silver jewelry, of course, the instructors behind them all know about it!"
