Since it has been decided to use this place as the future station of the independent battalion, the dozen or so barracks in front of him will definitely not be enough. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It just so happened that Wang Ping brought back a company of prisoners, a total of more than two hundred prisoners, and began to build barracks in the following days.

With the return of Zhang Yunshan with the main force of the battalion, the number of puppet army prisoners who participated in the construction of barracks directly exceeded 300, and the construction speed became faster and faster, and the number of barracks in the garrison increased rapidly to the number of ten barracks per day.

After the number of barracks reached fifty, Wang Ping asked the puppet army to stop.

Because he suddenly thought of a problem, even if the commander agreed to the independent battalion to stay in Laiyuan to build a base, it would be impossible for all the hundreds of independent battalion to be stationed here. Not to mention anything else, the villages that were taken and protected by the independent battalion must be garrisoned by the independent battalion.

In this way, the Zhangjiawan garrison will be left with the headquarters of the independent battalion and some directly subordinate troops, and even if the independent battalion is expanded into an independent regiment at that time, the total strength will not exceed 500 people.

Fifty barracks for 500 men, even if some of the barracks were used to store supplies or serve as camp headquarters, that would be enough.

The conference room just set up by the independent battalion, all the company commanders, instructors, and platoon commanders directly under the independent battalion gathered inside, which was very lively, and everyone was discussing the harvest and combat experience of this sortie.

This lively atmosphere stopped abruptly as Wang Ping, Cheng Xiao, and Zeng Quan walked in.

Then more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at Wang Ping at the same time as if they had been discussed.

Because everyone heard some rumors before the meeting, the battalion commander would reorganize the independent battalion at this meeting. It's a matter of how many soldiers and how many weapons each person can get in their hands, so they can't help but not be nervous.

Wang Ping did not hesitate, and directly ordered Zeng Quan on the side: "Old Zeng, first tell you about a series of achievements and losses after we sent troops to Laiyuan. After such a long time, it is time for everyone to be happy! ”

Zeng Quan, the deputy battalion commander who was more like the chief of staff of the independent battalion, immediately stood up, picked up a list and introduced.

"Comrades, the results are brilliant, this is the evaluation of the battalion commander, including the instructor and me on this series of battles!"

"In three consecutive attacks and one ambush, the Japanese troops eliminated by our independent battalion must have exceeded five hundred, although there is no way to count the specific number. This is not counting the puppet army, plus the puppet army, a thousand people are possible! ”

"In addition, 436 puppet soldiers were captured, and after a few days of mobilization, more than 200 people were willing to join our independent battalion. If the mobilization continues, this number will reach 350 people, or even 400 people! ”

If there were really so many prisoners joining the independent battalion, plus the original 200 or so people in the independent battalion, and the local people who had taken the initiative to join the Eighth Route Army in the past few days, the total strength of the independent battalion could directly exceed 700 people. This means that every company and platoon of an independent battalion can reach full strength.

Therefore, before Zeng Quan finished his introduction, the eyes of more than a dozen company platoon commanders in front of him began to light up.

After taking a full look at everyone's reactions, Zeng Quan continued to introduce: "Just now it was the situation of destroying the enemy, so I will talk about our harvest below. In the continuous fighting, we captured a total of two heavy machine guns, 16 crooked handles, three machine guns equipped by the puppet army, 15 grenadiers, 328 large covers, a total of 418 Mauser, medium formal, and old sleeves equipped by the puppet army, and 32 pistols of various kinds. ”

"As for the ammunition, I won't introduce the scattered ones, but I will introduce you to the boxes and boxes, a total of ten boxes of mortar shells, a total of 120 rounds, eight boxes of grenades, a total of 160 rounds, three boxes of heavy machine gun bullets of 6,000 rounds, 20 boxes of 38 large covers and crooked handles of general ammunition, a total of 40,000 rounds of ammunition, five boxes of grenades, a total of 250 rounds!"

"There is no statistics on other scattered ammunition, the most is bullets, it is estimated that there are more than 30,000 rounds, and this is not counting the comrades who have already divided it!"

"In addition to these, there is also a harvest of food and materials, three devil strongholds, we have seized a total of more than 15,000 catties of various grains, and there are also seventy or eighty boxes of various canned food, if you save some food, it is enough for the whole camp to eat for twenty days!"

"As for other supplies, there are quilts, cotton uniforms, medicines, and some lunch boxes or something, and half of the warehouse is piled up!"

"In the end, there are war horses and horses, a total of 8 war horses were captured, and 29 horses were pulled!"

Instructor Cheng Xiao took the lead, and the small conference room immediately burst into very warm applause.

In a few days, although everyone judged from the large number of seizures brought back by the attacking troops, the gains of the troops must have been painful, but everyone did not expect that the number and variety would be so huge.

With so much equipment and ammunition, if it is sent back to the base area, it will be enough for the military subdivision to reorganize a main regiment.

Wang Ping waved his hand and continued: "Don't be too happy, everyone, the results are indeed very brilliant, but our losses are also very large!" Of the more than 200 people who came out of the base area, less than 150 are still alive, and more than 20 of them are still lying in the clinic for treatment. Fortunately, most of the comrades who died were new recruits, otherwise our independent battalion would not have the capital to expand the troops! ”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became heavy.

Those soldiers who died, every company has them. Although they don't get along for a long time, they are living lives after all. It's just gone, it's a sad person!

Wang Ping's purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, to press everyone.

In the past few days, the independent battalion has been winning battles, and as a commander, everyone is very happy. But as the battalion commander, what Wang Ping is most afraid of is that everyone will turn this happiness into a light enemy.

Just taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Ping collected his heart from the big guys, so that everyone should not underestimate the enemy.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Cheng Xiao, who knew Wang Pingliang's hard work, spoke: "Okay, no matter what, since the attack, our independent battalion has still achieved brilliant results!" ”

"According to the order given to us by the commander at the beginning of the independent battalion, the attack on Laiyuan is the equipment and personnel needed for the expansion of the independent battalion. At this point, this goal has been achieved. ”

"But after discussing with the commander, I felt that our independent battalion would be more productive if we stayed here, so we have built a barracks here in the past few days."

"And if you want to make a big difference, you must have enough strength, not only to protect yourself, but also to fight devils all over the ground to find teeth. Therefore, the next thing to be discussed at this meeting is the reorganization of the troops! ”

Seeing Wang Ping's default nod, Cheng Xiao continued: "Everyone has listened to Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng's introduction, so far, I have mastered a lot of recruits, especially those puppet army prisoners, as long as they do a good job in ideological education, they can replenish the troops at any time." In order to let the troops be fully established as soon as possible and then form combat effectiveness, I, the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander and I decided to complete the reorganization of the independent battalion in the next two days! ”

Wang Ping immediately said: "There is nothing to say about the reorganization, according to the plan we made when we formed the independent battalion." However, there is a problem with this, our independent battalion does not have enough grassroots cadres, even if all the limited old Red Army soldiers are appointed as squad and platoon leaders, it will not be enough, and this is the only problem we have to face in the reorganization! ”
