The reason why the Eighth Route Army is called the Huazi Army by many people is that in addition to poor equipment or even no equipment, there is another very important reason, that is, the equipment of the army is very messy, and it even has the title of Wanguo brand weapon exhibition tube.

A regiment or even a battalion may find several rifles of different calibers.

It's okay to use this kind of equipment for training, but it's a big trouble when you encounter a battle.

Logistics supply alone and replenishment of qualified ammunition to the troops is enough for logistics personnel to be busy. If you don't do it, the bullets that the soldiers receive on the battlefield are of different calibers, which not only cannot hit the enemy, but also cause devastating damage to the weapon......

As a military commander, the chief of staff was well aware of the importance of unified equipment for a unit.

However, for the Eighth Route Army, this kind of thinking was definitely a luxury.

Even a rifle cannot be used for everyone, let alone a unified armament.

On the battlefield, it is better to use a gun than a broadsword and a spear, so no matter what caliber the rifle is, as long as it can shoot bullets, in the case of insufficient weapons and equipment, the commander can't control so much, regardless of whether the caliber is the same or not, all the troops are equipped in one go!

Now hearing that the boss judged that the new regiment is likely to have unified equipment, the chief of staff was pleasantly surprised and immediately replied: "If this is the case, Wang Ping has really done a great thing!" ”

Then he asked, "Boss, is Commander Chen still waiting for us to call back?" How to divide the equipment and ammunition sent by Wang Ping still needs to be decided by you, the boss. After all, that's not a few thousand guns! ”

"Taiyue is a key breakthrough point in our counter-sweep, and finally opened a breakthrough, and the devil immediately transferred an infantry wing to plug the gap. However, the advantage of me on Taiyue's side still exists, so I still believe that Commander Chen can open up the situation with his troops! ”

"Therefore, Commander Chen left half of those weapons and ammunition, and the remaining half was only left to be sent to the Taihang Military Region. Their pressure is even greater, and there are fewer sources of weapons and ammunition, and with the replenishment of this batch of weapons and ammunition, their pressure will be much less! ”

"I'm going to call back the telegram!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

Before leaving, a communications staff officer rushed in.

"Chief, Taiyue Military Region is in an emergency!"

The chief of staff took the telegram and subconsciously read it, and then a very complicated expression appeared on his face.

"Is Commander Chen sending another problem to our headquarters?" The boss asked.

"Is it a problem? But also good news! The chief of staff replied.

While handing the telegram to the boss, he reported: "It is also related to Wang Ping, after Wang Ping reported the final establishment of the new regiment to the Taiyue Military Region, it caused a great shock in the military region. Commander Chen proposed to the headquarters to expand the new regiment into a column and appoint Comrade Wang Ping as the commander of the column! ”

"No way!" The boss refused without hesitation.

Then he retorted with a dissatisfied face: "This old Chen, don't expand the new regiment, let Wang Ping stay in the new regiment and guard Linfen, and he doesn't know the specific reason." Once the new regiment is expanded into a column, the strategic goal of Yan'an and the headquarters to keep the new regiment in the southwest of Shanxi will not be realized in the near future! ”

The boss didn't answer the telegram, and directly began to give an order: "Call back to Commander Chen: I don't agree with their proposal, and add a sentence, without Yan'an's order, no one can expand the new regiment and transfer Wang Ping from the new regiment!" ”

The chief of staff didn't leave immediately, hesitated and asked, "Boss, you better take a look at this telegram from Commander Chen first." He must know the reason why the headquarters let the new regiment guard Linfen, but this new regiment has reached the point where it has to be expanded! ”

The boss took the telegram with questions, and soon, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"This Wang Ping, he really dares to do it, the main force of the Jin Sui Army is not as many as the troops in his hands!"

The chief of staff said: "With so many troops, whether it is for the convenience of management or command, it is imperative to expand into columns!" ”

"Boss, look, I don't know if this Wang Ping did it on purpose, according to the way of a main battalion, a new battalion, and an independent battalion to be combined into a regiment, the troops in his hands can be reorganized into ten regiments!"

"The three main regiments are combined into one division, exactly three main divisions and one regiment directly under it!"

"Plus the heavy artillery battalion in his hand was originally the establishment of a heavy artillery regiment! The cavalry battalion is also compressed into a cavalry regiment, as well as an air defense battalion, an armored battalion, an engineer company, and a direct team, which is exactly the strength and establishment of a main column! ”

"It must have been on purpose!" The boss affirmed without hesitation.

"He is preparing for the future expansion of the army into a column!"

"He said on the telegram that he also planned to set up three independent field artillery battalions, if I guessed correctly, these three field artillery battalions must be prepared for the three main divisions after the expansion of the army in the future, and each main force division has one field artillery battalion under its jurisdiction, exactly three field artillery battalions, so it's a good calculation!"

"Then how do we reply to this telegram!" The chief of staff asked rhetorically with shock.

"The new regiment now has troops, troops, and equipment, and the only thing missing is an order!"

"As long as the headquarters gives an order, I am sure, it only takes a few days for his new regiment to be expanded into a column!"

The boss was very moved, but after hesitating for a few minutes, he shook his head and replied: "Wang Ping continues to serve as the head of the new regiment, and he can't be expanded or promoted, this is Yan'an's order." No matter how tempted we are, we can't disobey Yan'an's orders. ”

"In this way, forward the original text of this telegram to Yan'an, this problem is still handed over to Yan'an to have a headache, and we are only responsible for obeying orders!"

Wang Ping didn't know that his telegram traveled thousands of kilometers all the way to Yan'an, and it caused a great sensation in Yan'an.

The commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, and the three of them gathered in the middle of the night to discuss the shock and various effects of this telegram on them.

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the boss and the chief of staff waited for two hours before receiving a call back from Yan'an.

It's very simple, just a few words: "Not yet the time?" ”

"Yan'an has agreed to expand the new regiment into a column, but the time has not yet come!" The boss could see the deep meaning behind these words at a glance.

"This Wang Ping has been pressed in the position of head of the regiment for several years, and he is finally going to come out!"

"Send these words to Commander Chen in the original text, add a little more, let Wang Ping give me a little peace during this time, don't let the fat in your mouth fly away because of his impulsiveness and recklessness!"

"Let Commander Chen send a telegram to his political commissar, give me a good look at Wang Ping, don't let him make mistakes!"

"When the time comes, a leap to the fourth level will definitely cause quite a stir, and all accidents must be prepared!"
