Not only were they satisfied with Wang Ping's answer, but they were also satisfied with Wang Ping's vision and courage.
Before Yang Chengwu could speak, the chief of staff, who had been frowning next to him, also showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said excitedly: "Commander, Wang Ping's idea is really feasible!"
"According to the intelligence, the supplementary troops that the Japanese are planning to send are still in Tianjin. This means that it will take at least a month for the Japanese brigade in Laiyuan to form combat effectiveness. If the independent battalion can really make good use of this month, it can fight again
Win a few battles and eat more Japanese veterans. Even if those supplementary troops arrive at Laiyuan, the Japanese army will take longer to form combat effectiveness because of the lack of veterans!"
"At that time, the Independent Battalion can still take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not formed combat effectiveness and continue to attack, leaving Laiyuan in a chaotic situation where fighting is everywhere and the Eighth Route Army is everywhere. In this way, the Japanese army's priority will change from encircling and suppressing the Independent Battalion.
Become a stable place!”
"Of course, there is a premise for this. The Independent Battalion will use this period of time to continuously attack and kill a large number of Japanese. At the same time, its own strength must also continue to expand. Only with enough troops, the Independent Battalion can make Laiyuan blossom and beacon fire everywhere.
Let the Japanese take care of the head but not the tail, and have no energy to encircle and suppress the independent camp!"
Chief of Staff Xiong Botao's analysis gave Wang Ping a feeling of enlightenment. Although he thought that this more than a month was the only chance for the Independent Battalion to gain a foothold in Laiyuan, it was impossible for him to think of how the Independent Battalion could use it in such a short period of time.
This is the time to gain a firm footing.
Therefore, the words of the chief of staff were like enlightenment, allowing his thoughts to expand immediately.
Then he promised with great emotion: "Thanks to the Chief of Staff for your guidance, I guarantee that the Independent Battalion will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Laiyuan and establish a base according to your ideas!"
"A boy can be taught!" This is Yang Chengwu's current evaluation of Wang Ping!
The political commissar of the third military division of the military region is also named Wang Ping, and he is a well-known veteran political worker in the military region. Although the Wang Ping in front of him is still many levels behind the political commissar of the military division. But based on what Wang Ping is showing now
Yang Chengwu is certain that Wang Ping will become a rare general and wise general.
Two Wang Ping, one civilized and one military, will definitely become a good story!
Since Wang Ping is full of confidence in staying in Laiyuan, and the independent battalion indeed has the opportunity to develop and grow in Laiyuan, Yang Chengwu will certainly not stop him. Not only will he not stop him, he will also find ways to give Wang Ping some support.
Because the independent battalion has established a foothold in Laiyuan, it means that the tentacles of the First Military Division extend to Laiyuan, which will definitely be very beneficial to the development of the First Military Division.
"Okay, I agree that the Independent Battalion will develop in Laiyuan! But I have one request. If things cannot be done, the Independent Battalion must preserve its strength as much as possible and return to the base area or the mountains. It must not fight head-on with the Japanese. I don't want to hear it.
News of the complete destruction of the Independent Battalion in Laiyuan!" Yang Chengwu made the final decision with a serious look on his face.
"Commander and Chief of Staff, please rest assured that the independent battalion will definitely be able to complete its mission!" Wang Ping also replied with a serious look on his face, his words full of confidence.
Yang Chengwu nodded in affirmation, and then fell into deep thought.
It took a full minute before he said: "The Independent Battalion has a fatal weakness, that is, there are few veterans, especially the proportion of old Red Army cadres, which is less than one cd. This is very dangerous. I believe you can also see this.
, and then exchanged a company’s equipment for twenty veterans from Chen Zhengxiang!”
"The military subdivision cannot help you in other aspects, but in order to expand the base area into Laiyuan, I will support you even if I use my family wealth!"
"Chief of Staff, you know the people in the headquarters better than I do. If you put it all together, how many people can support the independent battalion? Military cadres will not be given. There should be many people among the puppet soldiers he captured. The main ones are political workers.
For cadres, it doesn’t matter if the price is low. You can slowly make progress in the independent battalion. There are many prisoners in the independent battalion and the soldiers are very complex. It is necessary to strengthen the allocation of political cadres and strengthen party education. Otherwise, when the scale of the army continues to expand, problems will definitely occur.
!”
Xiong Botao also knew how important it was for the independent battalion to gain a foothold in Laiyuan for the future development of the military division, so he was particularly cautious after hearing Yang Chengwu's order to recruit people.
After thinking for a full minute, he answered: "Recently, the military region has sent us a lot of love students, and they have taken over a lot of work in the headquarters. Commander, the staff department can transfer three staff officers, all of whom were company commanders in the Red Army.
and instructors, three cadres will be transferred from the Logistics Department, six cadres and officers will be transferred from the Political Department, and then eight officers and old Red Army officers will be transferred from other departments, a total of twenty people! These low-level people can be squad leaders, deputy platoon leaders,
It is used as deputy instructor. Those with higher levels can directly become company commanders and instructors. After some experience, they can become battalion commanders and instructors."
Yang Chengwu nodded and affirmed: "Okay, I remember when we first formed the independent battalion, you asked me to leave a radio operator and get a radio station from the Japanese as soon as possible when we go back to facilitate contact."
"In addition, since you brought so many weapons and ammunition back this time, the headquarters security company took the opportunity to expand into a guard battalion. The extra equipment must be divided, mainly to the second regiment and the newly formed third regiment. After all, Chen Zhengxiang has just joined the army from
You got a company of pure Japanese equipment in your hands!"
"The second regiment's veteran ratio is not as high as that of the first regiment, but it is still much higher than that of your independent battalion. When the time comes, I will use these equipment to get you ten more veteran Red Army veterans from Commander Zhao!"
Wang Ping's eyes lit up and he replied very excitedly: "Thank you, Commander, with these veterans, the Independent Battalion will definitely not let the division down!"
Yang Chengwu waved his hand and continued: "Do you still remember the promise Commander Nie gave you when he came over? As long as you turn the independent battalion into a truly elite force, it can be expanded into an independent regiment at any time. I decided that for the needs of Laiyuan's fight against the enemy,
Expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment in advance."
Wang Ping was stunned at first, and then his face became more excited. Just when he subconsciously wanted to thank Yang Chengwu, the other party suddenly interrupted.
"However, after the expansion into an independent regiment, the regiment leader is still not you. Then it is not me who has the final say, but the nod of Commander Nie of the Military Region. Therefore, after returning to Laiyuan, you must come up with a plan that is enough for Nie.
The results of the commander's heartbeat have come out, otherwise, no matter how much Commander Nie trusts you, he will not be able to let you become the regiment leader. After all, there are many people in the military region who are qualified to be regiment leaders, and each of them must have their own qualifications and military exploits.
War exploits!"
"I won't say too much nonsense. As long as you can lead the independent battalion to gain a foothold in Laiyuan, and then use these veterans to expand the independent battalion to 1,500 people, I will personally go to the military region to recommend you to be the leader of the independent regiment!
"
"Promise to live up to the trust of the commander and chief of staff." Wang Ping's face became serious and he promised loudly!
Like Chen Zhengxiang, the Second Regiment also owed Wang Ping a favor. Besides, the ten veterans were not too much of a strain on the Second Regiment.
As soon as the order from the headquarters arrived, the Second Regiment selected ten men from the guard company with the largest proportion of veterans and rushed to the headquarters to report.
In order to ensure that he could pass through the Japanese and puppet army checkpoints and strongholds in Laiyuan at night, Wang Ping did not set off from the headquarters until noon the next day.
When he arrived at the No.1 regiment's station, Chen Zhengxiang also received an order from the independent battalion to stay in Laiyuan to fight the Japanese.
Because the station borders Laiyuan, and Chen Zhengxiang also received information that the Japanese army in Laiyuan was about to expand into a brigade. He was very aware of the harsh and difficult situation faced by the independent battalion in Laiyuan.
In this case, how many veterans there are in the army and their combat effectiveness are particularly important.
Therefore, when Wang Ping rushed to the headquarters of the First Regiment, Chen Zhengxiang had already prepared the twenty old Red Army cadres who had promised him.
As for the Japanese-style equipment that Wang Ping had promised, Chen Zhengxiang didn't even mention it. In this case, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh, the old revolution is the old revolution. Even though Chen Zhengxiang didn't mention the equipment, he couldn't forget it. After returning,
The equipment must be delivered as soon as possible.
Because there was no burden of baggage and horses, and the old Red Army cadres who went to Laiyuan with Wang Ping had experienced all kinds of hardships, this kind of night march was a piece of cake for them. Therefore, they returned very quickly
.We returned to the Independence Camp at around three o’clock in the middle of the night!
