Yan'an was able to survive multiple attacks by the Japanese army unscathed, and Commander Wang in front of him definitely contributed a lot.
What impressed Wang Ping the most was that when Commander Wang first served as the commander of the Suide Garrison Area, he did not have many old troops at his disposal, and the equipment was also old equipment that had been eliminated from the front line. It could be said that he was in a state of poverty.
However, he managed to stabilize the situation in just a few months and withstood the Japanese attack on Yan'an.
Thinking of this, Wang Ping quickly saluted with a military salute.
Because there was no rest for the whole night, and he was still on the road during the battle. As the owner, Commander Wang did not have much greetings. After hiding all the cars, he arranged for Wang Ping to rest.
Perhaps it was because after arriving at the base area, Wang Ping slept until noon that day.
"Captain Wang, you are here just in time, just in time for lunch, come over and let's eat together... Guard, give Commander Wang a pair of bowls and chopsticks!" Seeing Wang Ping walk in, Commander Wang, who was about to eat, hurriedly greeted him.
The food didn't add anything because of his arrival. There were almost no grains of rice in the millet porridge.
Pickles made from pickled radish, and then dark steamed buns.
When Wang Ping ate it, he realized that this was not a regular steamed bun, but a steamed bun filled with a lot of whole grains and wild vegetables. Without the millet porridge that could be seen at the bottom, it would be almost impossible to swallow.
Seeing that everyone was eating with gusto, Wang Ping couldn't help but ask: "Chief...this is what you usually eat?"
"This is not bad... After all, the autumn harvest has only been over for a few months, and there is still some surplus grain. By next year, a few months before the autumn harvest, we won't even be able to drink this kind of millet porridge, and we will have to eat this kind of multi-grain soup with wild vegetable soup."
Wotou!" Commander Wang replied with a frown.
Obviously, food is also his biggest concern!
However, the land in the Suide area was in poor quality, with frequent droughts, and the population was small. Although the people were encouraged to reclaim a lot of wasteland by reducing rent and interest after the base area was established, it could only provide part of the rations for all the troops in the military region.
Many times, because the troops were out of food, he had to shamelessly ask for support and borrow food from the northern Shanxi base area closest to here.
Wang Ping said nothing, intending to learn more about the real situation in Suide Base Area after finishing the meal.
As a time traveler, it is impossible for me to watch the troops go hungry and fight without being indifferent.
Now that I have encountered it, if I can help solve it, I will definitely help solve it.
"Chief, I want to visit the troops in the military region later and learn. I don't know if there are any violations of discipline!" Wang Ping asked for instructions after eating two cereals.
"Okay, I'll go with you!" Commander Wang made the decision unexpectedly.
I saw a few surprised expressions on the faces of the subordinates next to me. I didn't understand why the commander, who was usually very busy, was willing to accompany a regiment leader to see the troops. You know, in terms of rank, the two men were very different.
Level one or two!
Wang Ping quickly refused: "Chief, you are joking. You are the commander of the military region. How can I let you accompany me? If you are worried about anything, just send a staff officer!"
"Wang Ping, you kid, don't think twice and just send me away!" Commander Wang refused without hesitation.
He glanced at his subordinates who were still in shock and incomprehension and reminded him: "You really think this guy is just a regiment leader!"
"Let me tell you, the training equipment and training methods on our training ground were all invented by him. It is precisely because of his training equipment and training methods that the combat effectiveness of our troops has increased by at least 20%."
"I'm sure there must be something in his mind that we don't know. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lead all the troops into a tiger and wolf division wherever he goes!"
"Also, our Eighth Route Army used a regiment to kill the Japanese and the commander of an infantry regiment. Do you know who he is? Far away in the horizon, but very close in front of you!"
"Don't tell me that a little Japs from a regiment was killed by the Taiyue Military Region. Tell you, it's all a cover-up. The real situation is that Wang Ping led a regiment with a total strength of less than 3,000 people and killed them.
There was a Japanese regiment, and even the leader of the Japanese regiment was killed!"
"Also, Captain Wang in front of you has done many important things that you don't know about. For confidentiality reasons, I won't introduce them in detail."
"For a while, it wasn't just me. Except for the staff on duty who stayed behind, everyone else from the headquarters followed me, asking Wang Ping to give us advice and we learned. Whoever can get a good training method out of him, I will reward him
Ten pounds of white flour, plus two pounds of pork!"
When they heard about white noodles and pork, the eyes of several cadres in the headquarters became hot.
From their expressions, Wang Ping was sure that they had not eaten white noodles or pork for a long time.
This is the case for all cadres of military region headquarters, let alone ordinary soldiers.
Wang Ping's face suddenly became solemn, and then he replied seriously: "Please rest assured, chief, I will tell you everything!"
On the training ground, the biting cold wind blew on his face, which was as painful as a needle prick. However, when he was still far away from the training ground, Wang Ping heard the deafening shouts of death coming from inside.
When he saw the sentry at the entrance of the training ground wearing a military coat, Wang Ping's solemn expression looked much better.
However, after entering the training ground, the scene in front of him shocked him again.
Except for a small number of soldiers wearing cotton military uniforms, many soldiers directly wore civilian clothes to train on the training ground.
This is not what shocked Wang Ping the most.
In the orderly training ground, Wang Ping actually saw many soldiers training in single clothes. Although they wore several single clothes together, because there was no cotton between the clothes to keep warm, Wang Ping could still tell that they were wearing separate clothes.
Training while shivering in the cold wind.
After raising a few suggestions on training, Wang Ping couldn't stand it anymore and sighed directly to Commander Wang.
"Chief, the conditions for the soldiers are too difficult. If we still train under these conditions, non-combat attrition is likely to occur!"
Commander Wang was silent for a long time before answering: "There is no way. Without training, the non-combat attrition of the army will definitely be more serious..."
Wang Ping immediately understood the hidden meaning of Commander Wang's words: without cotton-padded clothes, training can keep people warm and reduce the chance of frostbite. But once you don't train, the chance of frostbite will greatly increase!
He hesitated and asked: "Is this the case for all troops in the military region?"
Perhaps in order to relieve the depressing atmosphere around him, Commander Wang made a small joke and replied: "If this is really the case, our military region will have no combat effectiveness!"
"The front-line troops are in the best condition. Everyone is guaranteed a cotton-padded jacket. The troops left behind and the guard regiment are basically at this level. Don't worry about Wang Ping, the guard regiment has to keep training because it wants to ensure the safety of the commander of the military region. Other troops left behind,
In weather like this, less than 30% of the troops are on duty for training, and the limited cotton uniforms are worn in rotation..."
"He is our guard regiment leader Li Guoquan. He knows the situation of the guard regiment best. Let him talk to you. I heard Commander Nie and your Commander Chen say that you are not only good at fighting, but you are also good at handling supplies. Maybe
Can help us solve some problems!"
A wry smile appeared on Wang Ping's face. Being famous has its disadvantages. Wherever he goes, the other party will treat him like a god and ask for advice!
But he couldn't object, so he could only answer bravely: "Please rest assured, chief, as long as I have a way, I will tell you everything! The soldiers are working too hard!"
