Huang Yuanqiang kept staring at Wang Ping, and when he saw Wang Ping's expression of hesitation, he asked directly.
"Captain, you must have other reasons for not telling me!"
"Chief of Staff, please stay. Everyone else should go out first. Guards guard the door. No one can approach the war room without an order!" Wang Ping did not answer, but issued an order that surprised everyone.
Huang Yuanqiang had never seen the regiment leader so serious before, and then he realized the seriousness of the matter. He checked the headquarters personally before walking to Wang Ping and asked: "Captain, no one can hear our conversation now. Now
You can say it now!”
"Okay!" Wang Ping nodded and replied.
"Chief of Staff, find out the latest map of our and enemy's military strength in southwestern Shanxi, and I'll tell you about it!"
Soon, a clear map was spread out in front of Wang Ping.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Ping pointed to the map and analyzed: "Look at the Japanese between the 3rd and 4th Battalion defense areas and the World War II area."
"There were originally more than 30,000 people, but after we used tanks and heavy artillery to kill more than 2,000 people in Guangping Town, they are now less than 30,000~"
"When the Third and Fourth Battalions were developing rapidly in Xiangning, Ji County, Hepu and other places, they could have sent troops, but they did not move. Why?"
Huang Yuanqiang replied without thinking: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops from the World War II zone watching them from behind!"
"If there are fewer troops sent over, they are just to deliver food to us. If there are more troops sent over, there will be loopholes in their defense line facing the World War II zone. If the WWII zone discovers this loophole and then takes the initiative to attack, the Japanese will probably
The entire line of defense will be lost!”
"They are abandoning their troops to save their vehicles. They are trying to stabilize the existing defense lines and occupied areas first, and then plan a counterattack when the time is right!"
"Not bad!" Wang Ping affirmed, and then a self-deprecating smile quickly flashed across his face.
"So, to a certain extent, the reason why we were able to occupy the four counties in the southwest of Linfen is partly thanks to the World War II zone and the little devils!"
Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong suddenly said: "Commander, I don't understand this!"
"Thanks to the World War II Zone, I can understand why we should also thank the Japs. You know, the Japs are our enemies, and these counties were snatched from the Japs!"
Huang Yuanqiang also frowned and stared at Wang Ping, wondering what other shocking words Wang Ping had.
Wang Ping did not answer, but his face quickly became serious: "Let's imagine that if these Japanese soldiers between us and the World War II zone were withdrawn, we could successfully capture these four counties and then develop them into
Our base?"
Huang Yuanqiang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
He asked with a stern face: "Captain, are you worried that the World War II Zone will have friction with us!"
"It's not the World War II zone, it's the Shanxi-Sui Army~" Wang Ping shook his head and continued.
"You know, our current base area was originally the territory of the Jinsui Army. If the Japs withdraw from southwestern Shanxi, do you think the Jinsui Army will let us safely establish a base here?"
"Speaking of which, the area controlled by the Jinsui Army is not as large as ours. If the Japanese troops in southwestern Shanxi really withdraw, then the Jinsui Army will definitely squeeze us out of southwestern Shanxi overtly or covertly!"
"This is what I'm most worried about!" Wang Ping said with a long breath.
"The reason for the rush to expand the troops is, on the one hand, to fight the Japanese, and on the other hand, to prepare for these possible accidents!"
"This time I went to negotiate in the World War II zone, and I could clearly feel that the people in the World War II zone avoided me like the god of plague, and many people were full of hostility towards me!"
"Also, the reason why this transaction went so smoothly, if I'm not wrong, there must be this reason. The World War II zone does not want heavy weapons such as heavy artillery and tanks to be in our hands."
"There is one detail in the negotiation process that I particularly remember. After learning that we had heavy artillery and tanks, they asked us more than once, overtly and covertly, that in addition to the twelve heavy artillery and ten tanks we gave them, we also
Are there any others? If so, buy them together!”
"This is obviously because we want to buy all the heavy weapons we have that can threaten them, and we don't hesitate to take out the bullet production line!"
"There is also the deal in Guangping Town where military exploits were exchanged for weapons. The reason why the World War II Zone was so willing to give us so many Jin-made submachine guns was because the submachine guns had a short range and consumed a huge amount of bullets. They allowed us to equip a large amount of equipment, even in a short period of time.
It increases the unit’s melee firepower, but if you look at it from a distance, it’s just a trap for us!”
"One thousand bullets for a submachine gun sounds like a lot, but it won't last long in a real war! When the bullets run out, those submachine guns will be worse than fire sticks!"
"Commander, why do you still need so many submachine guns?" Zhong Chenggong couldn't help but ask.
"No, no, no!" Wang Ping answered very directly.
"And once the submachine gun is in our hands, it is not just for equipping troops casually. It can be used on any battlefield!"
"As for ammunition, we have brought back three bullet production lines this time, and I will dedicate one production line to produce submachine gun and pistol bullets!"
"They wanted to plot against us and deceive us, but I didn't do what they wanted. They lost both my wife and their troops!"
Huang Yuanqiang became more and more serious, suddenly smashed his fist on the table, and then affirmed.
"Captain, I trust your judgment~"
"If these Japs in southwestern Shanxi really withdraw, the Jinsui Army will definitely try every means to squeeze us out of our current base area!"
"We snatched the base area from the Japanese little by little. Many soldiers paid their blood and lives for it. We must not throw it away! Otherwise, those soldiers who sacrificed will definitely die with their eyes open!"
"Captain, I agree to expand the troops to deal with possible accidents!"
Zhong Chenggong frowned. After hearing the political commissar's decision, he neither agreed nor objected, but asked with a look of reluctance.
"If the Japanese formation retreats, even if we expand our army, will we be able to keep our base?"
"Commander, political commissar, don't forget, the World War II Zone is our superior. If they give us an order, can we be transferred without obeying the order? If we disobey the military order, it will undermine the united front. We cannot bear this responsibility. Military Region
I can’t afford it either!”
The political commissar also frowned, and before he could speak, Wang Ping already answered confidently.
"Don't worry, as long as there are troops, I will have a way to deal with their orders!"
"Of course, this is just an inference and guess on our part, and it may not necessarily happen. In my heart, I don't want this to happen, but we must take precautions!"
Wang Ping's confidence made Huang Yuanqiang's frown instantly relax.
Staring at Wang Ping, he asked: "That's good...but, Commander, this matter is too big. I think it must be reported to the military region!"
"Need not!"
Wang Ping shook his head and explained: "When our application for military expansion is telegraphed to the military region, the commander will understand. And if we send the telegram before the incident has happened, someone might accuse us of spreading rumors and undermining the united front!"
