Minister Li next to him added: "Also, Commander Wang of Suide Garrison has sent us a telegram. Your idea of self-sufficiency and troop rotation is very good. I plan to let them pilot one first.
Month, if the effect is good, we will directly promote it to the whole army."
"You are the one who proposed this opinion. You will definitely not be able to escape with first-class merit by then!"
"Also, Yan'an is too poor. The funds you brought can alleviate our economic pressure for at least half a year. Although the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and your military region have already given you credit for this matter, our Ministry of Economic Affairs cannot lag behind. After discussion
, and reported it to the headquarters for approval, and decided to use 5,000 yuan as a bonus from the funds you handed over to reward you with a new regiment!"
"Thank you, chief!" Wang Ping replied with excitement.
Although five thousand yuan is not much, when it comes to the new regiment, each soldier can't even get half of the ocean. However, this is a reward from the headquarters, and it is awarded directly to the new regiment, bypassing the headquarters and military region.
If I guess correctly, this is definitely the first of its kind in the entire army.
Before Wang Ping could react from the surprise, the commander-in-chief next to him asked: "What happened to the extra supplies? If there is no reasonable explanation, or if something is done that violates discipline, then the five thousand yuan
I will definitely ask Minister Li to take back Dayang’s reward!”
"Don't worry, chief, there is absolutely no violation of discipline!" Wang Ping responded immediately.
Then the list of supplies was handed to the commander-in-chief.
"hiss……"
Although the expression changes on the two people's faces were not as exaggerated as those of the two deputy ministers just now, they still took a deep breath and showed a look of shock!
After suppressing his inner excitement, the commander-in-chief stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Twelve mountain field artillery and infantry artillery, twenty-seven mortars, twenty-seven heavy machine guns, eighty-one light machine guns, one
Thousands of 38 caps and five hundred Jin-made submachine guns, Wang Ping, do you know how many troops these weapons can equip?"
"There is a whole heavy artillery battalion, a mortar battalion, a heavy machine gun battalion, as well as light machine guns that can equip three regiments, and two regiments of rifles and submachine guns. How can you, a military division commander, get so many weapons? No.
In order to support Yan'an, we will draw out the weapons of the combat troops!"
"If that's what I guess, we don't want any rifles from these weapons, and you can take them all back in a few months!"
Wang Ping quickly explained: "Please rest assured, chief, I have definitely not violated discipline, and these weapons and ammunition are not drawn from the front-line combat troops!"
"Didn't our new regiment just win a big victory? We seized a lot of weapons and ammunition, and used some unused heavy weapons to exchange a lot of equipment and submachine guns for producing weapons and ammunition from the World War II zone.
Make the decision without authorization and use some of the weapons and ammunition to replenish the Yan'an left-behind corps!"
"We all know that the weapons equipped by the left-behind corps are old weapons that have been eliminated by the frontline combat troops. Once Yan'an is attacked, some weapons will not even be able to fire bullets. In this case, Yan'an will be too dangerous!"
"No!" The commander-in-chief frowned.
"According to discipline, seized weapons and ammunition must be turned in. You separated some of them without authorization and sent them to Yan'an. Isn't this a violation of discipline?"
Wang Ping could only smile bitterly and continue to explain: "Chief, we have handed it over, and we guarantee that not a single bullet has been stolen. These weapons were all left by the military region to our new regiment, and they certainly did not take advantage of other seizures!"
The commander-in-chief frowned and continued to ask: "Since the weapons are allocated to your new regiment, and you send them to Yan'an now, what will your new regiment use? What will you do if the little Japanese invade your base area? This is simply nonsense!"
"We can't collect these weapons and ammunition. You immediately arrange the troops and send them back to the new regiment. We absolutely can't let the front-line troops fight with the little devils with big knives, while the troops behind us are standing by with brand-new weapons and ammunition.
Watching a show..."
Seeing the commander-in-chief getting angry, Wang Ping immediately became anxious.
"Chief, haven't I finished speaking yet?"
"The weapons and ammunition left in our new regiment in the military area are indeed used to expand the army. However, we also exchanged a lot of equipment for repairing firearms from the World War II area. With them, the bombed weapons in our warehouse can be
Once it is repaired, there can easily be one or two thousand more rifles."
"It is precisely because of the new source of weapons that I took the initiative to send the weapons and ammunition assigned to us by the military region to Yan'an!"
The commander-in-chief's frown did not relax, but continued to ask: "That can only solve the gap of rifles and some light and heavy machine guns. What about those heavy weapons? Don't tell me that the equipment you exchanged from the World War II zone can still be used."
Get out the mortars and field artillery!”
"And even if it can be repaired, you can't have so many heavy weapons that were damaged on the battlefield!"
Wang Ping continued to explain: "Chief, we don't have the ability to repair heavy weapons yet!"
"As for these heavy weapons, they were extra during the reorganization of the troops before I came here!"
"Impossible...the other troops are getting less and less weapons as they reorganize. They try every means to get weapons from other places. How can they get more weapons the more they reorganize? Moreover, your new regiment is only a regiment. Even if you get some more heavy weapons, it will not be enough."
There can’t be so many!”
"Twelve mountain field guns, twenty-seven mortars, and twenty-seven heavy machine guns. Among other units of our Eighth Route Army, none of our divisions have such multiple weapons!"
"And your new regiment has so many extra weapons after a reorganization, unless the new regiment is equipped with various heavy weapons that are several times this number!"
"But is it possible! Even the most elite tax police group in Chongqing does not have that much equipment!"
Wang Ping understood immediately.
Although the reorganization plan of the new regiment was reported to the military region, the military region did not report to Yan'an. After all, this was only a matter for a military division.
You must know that the entire Eighth Route Army has dozens if not hundreds of military divisions like ours, and it is impossible to report everything to Yan'an.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to make a report on the true situation of the new regiment, otherwise, the commander-in-chief of heavy weapons would really let him take it back when the time comes.
"Chief, our new regiment really has so much equipment!"
"You must tell the truth...when the time comes, I will check with you, Commander Chen!" the commander-in-chief ordered.
Wang Ping nodded and affirmed: "By the time I leave, the new regiment will have a total of fifteen main battalions, a heavy artillery battalion, a guard battalion, a cavalry battalion, an armored assault battalion, an air defense battalion, a supply battalion, and a
The engineer battalion, a reconnaissance company, a direct team, and a communications company have a total strength of 15,000 people, not including the local troops of 3,000 or 4,000 people!"
"The heavy artillery battalion includes 20 105mm heavy mountain guns traded with the World War II zone. The armored battalion is equipped with four light tanks that captured the Japanese and 30 armored vehicles that captured the Japanese or were modified by us from cars."
"Each main force battalion has a firepower company equipped with two infantry cannons, three mortars, and four heavy machine guns!"
"In addition, for every three main battalions, I also strengthened an assault company, a baggage company, and a mountain artillery company equipped with six mountain cannons!"
"Before the army was reorganized, there were only ten main battalions, but each battalion captured and strengthened a large number of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns during the battle!"
"Although there are five more main battalions in this reorganization, some heavy equipment has been streamlined to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops and also make the troops more mobile and flexible!"
"So, taking away these heavy weapons will not have any impact on the overall combat effectiveness of the new regiment. Please rest assured, chief!"
The commander-in-chief was frightened and was stunned for a long time before answering: "There are fifteen thousand people in one regiment, twenty heavy artillery, thirty mountain cannon, a large number of infantry artillery and mortars, which are rarely equipped in Chongqing.
If Chongqing finds out, he won’t be mad to death!”
"Wang Ping, you are trying to scare me to death... But, well done... As for these heavy weapons, I accept them."
