Chapter 55: The Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army
After the troops made several fortunes in a row, Wang Lung discovered a very serious problem, that is, the arsenal they built could not be placed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you put it outside, it will be easy to be bombed by devil planes, and those miscellaneous weapons Wang Lung can't look down on, rather than staying in Montenegro to occupy a place, it is better to use them all to the general division, so that the headquarters can be uniformly dispatched to all troops.
Another problem is that the force is now quite large, with more than 4,200 soldiers. According to the calculation of soldiers, it is equivalent to a reinforced regiment of the Nationalist Government or equivalent to a second-class brigade, and according to the regulations of the Eighth Route Army, military units at the regimental level should set up political commissars.
But the problem is that it has not been established for a long time, but the size of the unit is about the same as a brigade.
However, up to now, there are not many decent political work cadres, let alone political commissars, and there is not even a qualified instructor, and this is very detrimental to the development of the troops.
What's more, the composition of the soldiers is very complicated, and most of them have the experience of being bandits and puppet soldiers, so whether it is for the future of those soldiers or for the sake of cohesion of the combat effectiveness of the troops, they must ask their superiors for instructions and dispatch political commissars.
Because of this, Wang Lung felt that these matters had to be communicated with the head of the headquarters.
The road from Montenegro to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army is not far or close, and it will only take less than a day if you take the main road, but considering that there are not many devil troops around now, but considering that there are still some devil troops around the headquarters, I will take a detour.
Although it takes more than half a day, it is relatively safe.
In order to ensure that he would not be bombed by devil planes along the way, Wang Lung ordered all the soldiers to change into Japanese military uniforms, and of course the equipment was also changed into Japanese standard equipment, all 38 big covers and crooked handles.
In addition, a lot of horses were captured in this battle, and the cavalry team was expanded to 230 people.
It was very safe along the way, and I didn't encounter the plane of the little devil, although I ran into a few small strongholds, but I saw that Wang Long and the others were dressed and equipped and let them go directly.
At about 7 o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, the convoy finally arrived near the headquarters and contacted the troops who came to meet them.
During this period, because of Wang Lung's outfit, there was almost a misunderstanding, but fortunately, Wang Lung and others revealed their identities in time, so they did not go off the rails.
At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo Quan and others were anxiously waiting for news, when Chief of Staff Ye ran in and said, "It's coming!" Here it comes! ”
Mr. Zhu hurriedly got up and asked, "Where have you gone?" ”
"It's outside the village, good guys, there are more than thirty big trucks, and there is only one battalion of soldiers in charge of escorting, and there is also a cavalry battalion, which is really a big deal!" Chief of Staff Ye said admirably.
"Let's go, let's go!" Mr. Zhu waved his hand and said with a smile.
Outside the village, Wang Lung was directing the soldiers to unload their goods, when he suddenly saw dozens of torches surrounded by several gray figures walking towards him.
From a distance, I heard a hearty voice say: "Bastard boy, it seems that your kid has made a lot of money!" ”
Seeing the familiar face, Wang Lung hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello chief!" ”
"Hey, no, when did you kid become so well-behaved and know how to salute?" Mr. Zhu said in surprise.
Wang Lung laughed and said, "Isn't this exciting to see you!" ”
"What is there to be excited about seeing me, I am excited when I see you, tell me how many good things you brought this time?" Mr. Zhu asked with a smile.
"There are more than 8,000 rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, and there is a little less ammunition, only 300,000 rounds. There are also medicines, silver dollars, and calligraphy and paintings. Wang Lung replied.
"Good guy, you kid has really become a landlord and an old man, let's go and go back to the headquarters to talk." Saying that, Mr. Zhu took Wang Long's hand and walked towards the headquarters.
At the headquarters, Wang Lung told the head of the headquarters about the process of this battle, and all the people in the headquarters were stunned.
"Bastard, tell me honestly, how many soldiers and horses do you have now?" Mr. Zhu asked again.
Wang Lung touched his head embarrassedly and said: "It's not much, there are more than 4,200 wounded people thrown away, and more than 400 wounded soldiers are recuperating in the brigade hospital." ”
"That means you have 4,600 people in your ministry now, right?" Mr. Zhu asked loudly.
"It should be!"
"Good boy, Lao Tzu now has more than 10,000 people in a division, and your kid has 4,600 people in a column, no wonder he is so confident in fighting devils, hahaha!" Mr. Zhu said with a smile.
"You beat the devil to a half-crippled, the little devil will continue to fight back, what are you going to do next?" Mr. Zhu continued to ask.
"The little devil's counterattack is expected, it doesn't matter! Anyway, Montenegro has been built into a turtle shell, and if the little devil wants to bite hard, he will only break his front teeth. Besides, being beaten passively is not our style, and I plan to disperse the troops around in the next step, so that my grandmother can control the surrounding towns and villages. Wang Lung said in a deep voice.
After listening to Wang Lung's words, Mr. Zhu nodded and said: "Are you very strategic, these mountains are located at the junction, if you gain a firm foothold here, it will not be easy, but such an important place will definitely be so easy for you to occupy!" ”
Wang Lung smiled and said: "If you don't let Zhan conquer them, you will be subdued, the little devils have limited strength, and they will stop for a while if they beat them hard." ”
After chatting with the head of the headquarters, he told him about his difficulties and left the next day, and when he left, Wang Lung took away 1,000 sets of temporary new military uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and also took away 30 cadres supported by the headquarters, and at the same time, the headquarters also set the level of the column, a brigade-level column.
