At the military region headquarters, the small war room kept ringing with cheers.
Ever since I received the battle report from the new regiment half an hour ago, this sound has never stopped.
"This Wang Ping, the headquarters and the military region did not misjudge him, especially the deputy chief of staff. Before leaving, he said that Wang Ping would definitely win this battle. Now Wang Ping not only won the battle, but also eliminated tens of thousands of Japanese.
The seizure of a large number of weapons is simply a greater result than what we would have achieved by launching a large-scale battle!" Commander Chen exclaimed after reading the telegram in his hand again. With the same words, within this half hour,
I've said it no less than three times.
Despite this, no one reminded him or disturbed the commander's good mood.
The counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in other parts of the military region is still in a stalemate. Wang Ping's sudden victory will definitely greatly promote the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in the entire military region. As the commander-in-chief of this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, what will the commander do?
Might be unhappy!
The political commissar next to him was also very happy. He stared at the map and said: "Commander, Wang Ping's ability is not just as simple as you said. He is not only good at fighting, he also has a very vicious vision, and he is strategic and considers things very thoughtfully."
"Not only did we win the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, we also seized the opportunity to control the four counties west of Linfen. In this way, the four-district base area was directly doubled. Including Linfen, it was a full eight counties. At the beginning, I
They are also worried that the base area in more than four counties in the fourth division cannot support as many main troops and local troops as the New Regiment. Now their base area has been expanded to nine counties. As long as they can stabilize the more than four counties they just occupied, the army will be expanded.
Even ten thousand people can be fed!"
"And the battle where he only occupied villages and towns but not counties was the most powerful!"
"The county town is still controlled by the Japs. From a superficial point of view, these areas are still controlled by the Japs. Linfen and the Japs in southwestern Shanxi have not been divided by us, and they cannot be considered alone. However, the roads leading to these places
Roads and railways can be cut off at any time if we wish, and the Japanese in these two places can be divided into isolated armies."
"In this way, the base area of the fourth division was expanded, but it did not trigger a strong counterattack by the Japanese and made a fortune in silence!"
Commander Chen nodded and affirmed: "Wang Ping's move is indeed very vicious, and he can spot the enemy very accurately!"
"The Japanese attach great importance to face-saving projects. As long as the county is still in their hands, they will not have much objection. And our occupation of all villages and towns in the four counties will be very smooth and will not trigger a strong counterattack from them!"
What the Chief of Staff is most concerned about is the weapons and ammunition captured by the New Regiment in this counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.
With so many weapons, especially those artillery pieces, it is impossible for them all to stay in the new regiment. And even if they all stay in the new regiment, the new regiment will not be able to equip them.
Therefore, after reading the telegram, the chief of staff was thinking about how much of these weapons and equipment could be distributed to the military region, and how many troops the military region could use these heavy equipment to form.
"Commander, Wang Ping has captured so much heavy equipment, it is impossible to keep all of it, especially those artillery pieces!"
"Not to mention anything else, there are 32 large-caliber heavy artillery pieces in Guangzhou... I have only heard of the heavy artillery equipped by the little devils, and have never actually seen it. This time I can finally see it, and by the way, let the little devils have a taste of it on the battlefield.
Taste what it feels like to be shelled by heavy artillery."
"A total of 32 heavy artillery pieces, if placed in our Eighth Route Army, can form at least two heavy artillery regiments equipped with sixteen heavy artillery pieces. After all, we are not as wealthy as the little devils. One heavy artillery regiment is equipped with thirty-six heavy artillery pieces!"
"I have an idea, two heavy artillery regiments, leave one in the fourth division, and form one in the military region!"
Although the political commissar next to him did not speak, the two rays of light shooting out from his eyes revealed his inner thoughts at this moment.
As a soldier, no one is not enthusiastic about weapons, especially heavy weapons.
Seeing the commander frowning and not speaking, the chief of staff continued: "There are also field artillery and mountain artillery. There are more than forty guns in total, which are also the equipment of the two running regiments... The new regiment already has a reinforced mountain artillery battalion, no.
Maybe build another one and add a few more artillery pieces at most!"
The commander still didn't speak.
At this moment, the communications staff officer suddenly broke in.
"Chief, the emergency telegram from District Four is encrypted and needs to be translated by yourselves~"
"Give it to me~" Commander Chen directly took the telegram himself, then found the code book and prepared to translate it himself!
Soon, more than half of the contents of the telegram were translated, and Commander Chen frowned. Then he picked up the telegram and code book and gave the order.
"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, follow me to the conference room... Guard, from now on, no one can approach the conference room without my order!"
"Commander, why are you so nervous?" The political commissar couldn't help but ask as soon as he closed the door of the conference room.
"Wang Ping...Wang Ping wants to use those heavy weapons!" Commander Chen replied with a frown.
"Heavy weapons?"
The political commissar and chief of staff simultaneously focused their attention on the telegram in Commander Chen's hand, wanting to know that Wang Ping was interested in carrying heavy weapons.
The weapons and equipment reported by Wang Ping in the last telegram were all captured by the New Regiment commanded by Wang Ping. Although the Eighth Route Army has regulations that all seizures should be credited. However, there are also regulations on the priority of replenishing combat troops. Therefore, Wang Ping’s response to these weapons and equipment
Have priority in selection.
Now that Wang Ping has proposed some heavy equipment, the military region really has to consider it, and in order not to hurt his subordinates, he really has to agree!
Since the military region could not refuse, Wang Ping's desire for those heavy weapons became the biggest concern of the political commissar and chief of staff.
Heavy weapons are fat to every officer in the Eighth Route Army. Now that Wang Ping has taken a big chunk away, there is not much left to share with everyone.
"All large-caliber heavy artillery, plus all tanks and armored vehicles... In addition, he will leave six field guns and twelve rapid-fire guns..."
"Hiss... so many~" Both the political commissar and the chief of staff couldn't help but take a breath.
What the two of them value most is heavy artillery, as well as those tanks and armored vehicles.
Although they had never seen the power of heavy artillery, they had heard about it.
On the frontal battlefield, a heavy artillery shell can easily kill a company.
If the military region is also equipped with heavy artillery, not to mention more, just a dozen or so.
If used well on the battlefield, one or two volleys may be able to kill a Japanese infantry brigade.
As for tanks and armored vehicles, they have seen them all on the battlefield.
A squadron of little devils paired with a tank and two armored vehicles can be in the base area. Not to mention a regiment of the Eighth Route Army, even a brigade will not be taken seriously.
If the military region can equip a batch of tanks and armored vehicles, the military region will not be afraid even if the Japanese attack an infantry regiment.
And now, Wang Ping actually asked for these two kinds of heavy equipment that everyone was jealous of. More importantly, he planned to ask for them all and not give any to the military region.
The political commissar first showed a dissatisfied expression on his face and stared at the commander and asked.
"With so many weapons, what does Wang Ping want to do? A regiment forms two heavy artillery regiments, a mountain artillery regiment, and a tank regiment... Is this still a regiment? Our entire military region does not have such luxurious equipment. If we put such a
If all the multiple equipments are given to the New Regiment, then several other military division commanders won’t cause trouble!”
