Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter muffled fortune
The five new regiment headquarters, deputy chief of staff, Commander Chen, regiment leader Wang Ping, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, and chief of staff Zhong Chenggong have been meeting in a small conference room for nearly two hours, and they still have no intention of ending.
.
Outside the conference room, the security troops brought by the two chiefs, plus the security company directly under the new regiment, hundreds of security personnel surrounded the headquarters. No one was allowed to approach, especially the conference room where the meeting was taking place.
"Commander, regimental commander, and political commissar, what I reported just now is the specific process of the troops taking over Linfen Railway Station, taking over Linfen City, and annihilating the Japanese cavalry brigade!" Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong and Changsong had already reported for more than an hour.
Said in one breath, bringing the two leaders who were still immersed in shock back to reality, and then sat back in their seats.
The deputy chief of staff who presided over the meeting finally recovered from the surprise and shock: "Commander Chen just explained the battle process on how to kill the two reinforced Japanese brigades and how to capture Xiangfen City. After listening, I just wanted to
In a word, whether it is a directly affiliated brigade, a new regiment, or a local unit in the fourth division, through this idea, we have created another miracle!"
"Political Commissar Huang, you are the one who counts the results of all the battles in the army. You know best. I would like to inform you of our gains in the past ten days of fighting, so that everyone can be happy."
Almost all the Eighth Route Army's daily supplies and weapons and ammunition needed for combat came from captured items.
Therefore, when they heard the word "gain", not only Wang Ping and Zhong Chenggong stared at Huang Yuanqiang, but the deputy chief of staff and the commander also stared at him, with expectant expressions on their faces.
"Commander, regimental commander, and chief of staff, the only way we can describe what we have gained from this battle is that it is completely beyond everyone's imagination!"
"Including what we harvested in Linfen City and Linfen Railway Station, we seized a total of nearly 6,000 long and short guns, and another two to three thousand rifles were blown up in the battle. However, we have all the damaged weapons.
They took it back, and not a single weapon part was spared. The regiment leader said that as long as he has the parts, he can assemble at least a thousand rifles from those blown-up weapons!"
“In addition, the total number of captured light and heavy machine guns totaled 357, the total number of grenade launchers was 291, the total number of mortars was 85, the total number of infantry guns was 15, the total number of mountain guns was 8, and the total number of field guns was four.
.”
The Deputy Chief of General Staff, Commander Chen, and Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong were frightened by the series of numbers coming out of Huang Yuanqiang's mouth. Their mouths opened in shock could almost take off a whole duck egg.
In the end, it was the Deputy Chief of General Staff who reacted first and said to Commander Chen with surprise and envy: "Old Chen, this is the equipment of an entire reorganized division. Your Taiyue Military Region has made a fortune again, and a big fortune!
"
Commander Chen was indeed happy, but he still answered modestly: "Chief of Staff, the seizures are huge and the losses of the troops are also high... After these seizures supplement the losses of the troops, there should be only half the equipment of the reorganized division. My
The idea is to support the equipment of a regiment in northwest Shanxi, and then support the equipment of a regiment in Yan'an. The remaining half will be given to the New Regiment and half to the direct brigade... The New Regiment now completely controls Linfen, even if it cannot hold Linfen in the future.
The army must also be expanded!"
"Of course, this expansion was carried out secretly. On the surface, Wang Ping was still the commander of the New Regiment. After all, the New Regiment was established in Chongqing, and Wang Ping himself was also the colonel commander appointed by Chongqing. He had their support.
Being in Linfen, inserted between the Taiyue Military Region and the World War II Zone, will only bring benefits to the development of the Taiyue Military Region, but no harm!"
"It's a good idea..." the deputy chief of staff affirmed.
"It is usually difficult to replenish equipment in northwestern Shanxi and Yan'an. With the weapons and ammunition sent by your Taiyue Military Region, they will definitely be even more powerful. If the little Japanese want to attack Yan'an again, the pressure will not be so great!"
"As for the New Regiment, although it has the military exploits of taking Linfen this time, it even has the military exploits of wiping out a Japanese brigade and killing the Japanese major general's brigade commander. But I guess Chongqing will not reward us with much fanfare this time. This military achievement
It's too big. Once word spreads, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the Chongqing troops. Therefore, they will definitely find ways to suppress this military exploit. As for the awards, I guess they are a lot of medals with almost no use. In essence,
As a reward, it would be nice to have some oceans!”
"You let the New Regiment secretly expand a few main battalions. This is the best way for us to develop our strength and expand our troops. As for the establishment, it doesn't matter whether we want it or not. As long as Wang Ping has the ability, one regiment commander can command 10,000 people.
Even 20,000 people will do. When the time comes in the future, the troops can be directly expanded into brigades or even divisions!"
"Then it's settled!" Commander Chen affirmed.
Wang Ping next to him was very excited. From the moment he became the leader of the new regiment, he wanted to get this order to expand the troops on his own. As for the identity of his regiment leader, Wang Ping didn't care at all.
Don't look at the fact that many people in the army have become brigade commanders or brigade-level detachment leaders due to the expansion of the army. There are also three to four thousand troops under their command.
If nothing unexpected happens, by the end of the War of Resistance, even if these people double the size of their troops, when the troops are reorganized, the brigade commander will still be a brigade commander, the detachment leader will still be a detachment leader, and at most they will be promoted to a division commander.
But the captains of the old troops were different. Because of the appointments from Chongqing, in order to maintain the united front, many of them held the status of regimental commanders and brigade commanders throughout the Anti-Japanese War. However, the troops in their hands had already been overstretched by several times during the Anti-Japanese War.
Times, or even more than ten times.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, when the troops were reorganized, these people, without exception, were promoted several levels in a row, and could become division commanders, column commanders, or even corps commanders.
Commander Chen in front of us is the most typical example. He held the title of brigade commander for almost the entire Anti-Japanese War.
However, with the end of the Anti-Japanese War and the reorganization of the troops, he directly surpassed the two levels of division commander and column commander and became commander of the corps.
This is the kind of person Wang Ping wants to be.
As a regiment leader appointed by Chongqing, he quietly made a fortune and secretly developed the army.
When the Anti-Japanese War ends in the future, at least he will be able to secure the position of commander of the main division.
Once you develop well, it is possible to become a column commander.
Of course, this has a prerequisite: you must have the right to expand your troops privately.
Otherwise, it would be a taboo in the military to expand the troops at will.
Now that he heard that the deputy chief of staff and commander supported him in doing so, Wang Ping, who was deeply afraid that the two men would regret it later, immediately replied: "Please rest assured, chief, if there will be no war in the future, I guarantee that the new regiment will be expanded by three more
Come out to the fifth camp!"
"At that time, if two main battalions are deployed in each county, plus local garrison troops, the little devils will be able to kill these Japanese and puppet troops by themselves as long as they mobilize less than one brigade without reinforcements from the regiment headquarters!"
The deputy chief of staff and Commander Chen looked at each other, and both saw expressions of satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Then he ordered: "Okay, this matter is settled. After the meeting, I will send a telegram to the boss and ask the boss to issue orders in the name of the headquarters!"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Huang Yuanqiang with a smile on his face and continued.
"Political Commissar Huang, continue!"
"Yes, Chief..." Huang Yuanqiang stood up from his seat again.
