Chapter 14: The Sorrowful Guard Company

After resting for less than three hours, Wang Ping was called to the temporary headquarters by Yang Chengwu's guards. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he was very tired, Wang Ping hurriedly asked: "Commander, chief of staff, is there another task?" ”

"No, the chief of staff and I invited you over for dinner, you have made such a great contribution, you still have to invite a meal?" Yang Chengwu replied with a smile.

"Thanks to you, I'll have beef stew tonight, sit down!" Yang Chengwu put a large bowl of beef soup on the table in front of him, and warmly beckoned himself to eat.

Large pieces of beef, steaming beef broth, and dry food cakes can definitely be called rich for the poor Eighth Route Army.

Wang Ping, who didn't think much about it, quickly ate his heart, and the tired look on his face was a lot less!

Seeing that the commander and chief of staff had no intention of letting themselves leave, Wang Ping immediately realized that the meal in front of him was not simple.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Yang Chengwu motioned for him to sit down.

Then the chief of staff spoke: "Staff Officer Wang, the commander and I plan to reorganize the guard company and let you take the lead, what do you think!" ”

Although the guard unit does not have many combat missions, it is a unit after all, and Wang Ping, who didn't want to stay in the headquarters for a long time, subconsciously wanted to agree.

At this time, the chief of staff suddenly changed his words and continued: "However, we don't have much support for you? ”

Wang Ping's brows furrowed, and he looked at the two of them thoughtfully, and then a very bad premonition appeared in his mind.

"There are not too many problems with the troops, the commander and I will draw you twenty veterans from the headquarters, and then one hundred from the recruit company to you. But there are not so many pretends, and now every unit needs weapons and ammunition, especially the divisional regiment, and in order to cover the transfer of the headquarters, an entire battalion has been disabled. I can only give you a platoon of the weapons and ammunition you have captured, and I will not charge the rest to a regiment. After all, a regiment now has to fight devils all the time, and without equipment and ammunition, it is sent to death! The chief of staff continued.

And it was only at this time that Wang Ping really understood the reason why the commander and the chief of staff invited him to this meal together.

This is not to invite the heroes to eat at all, but to compensate the heroes.

He worked so hard to seize so many weapons and ammunition that he almost lost his life. When he was about to use weapons and ammunition, he told himself that these weapons and ammunition already had owners!

Put it on anyone, I feel uncomfortable and unconvinced.

But Wang Ping is not an ordinary person, and he knows very well how bad the situation facing the First Army Division is at present!

It can be said that even if these weapons captured by oneself do not play a decisive role in the entire anti-encirclement and suppression, they can also reduce the losses of a large number of front-line combat units.

Equip the soon-to-be-formed guard company, although the combat effectiveness of the guard company will increase significantly in a short time. However, because the guard company is not a combat unit, the impact and effect of these weapons and equipment on the entire anti-encirclement campaign will be minimized.

After forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Wang Ping, who wanted to understand all this, could only reply: "Commander, I understand the difficulties of the front-line troops. I took over the burden of the guard company commander, I only needed thirty rifles for a platoon's equipment, and I didn't need machine guns, and the main force needed it more than me. But I asked the command to replenish the guard company with three hundred grenades! ”

"Besides, I don't need too many bullets, just twenty rounds for a rifle!"

Yang Chengwu's eyes lit up, and then he said with a look of appreciation: "It is worthy of being an old party member who has gone through the Long March, an old Red Army!" Chief of Staff, Wang Ping is so generous, we can't be stingy, you have to think of a way, in addition to the 20 veterans given by the headquarters to the guard company, and then transfer 10 veterans from the two main regiments of the division to Wang Ping, and strive to build the guard company into a reinforced company! ”

The chief of staff immediately affirmed: "So many weapons and ammunition for their twenty veterans, plus these veterans have joined the guard company protection headquarters, no one will not give it!" ”

At the moment of the great enemy, Yang Chengwu did not perform any ceremony for the reorganization of the guard company.

In one night, except for the 20 veterans drawn from the two main regiments, all the remaining 120 people gathered at the gate of the headquarters, and 30 rifles, 600 rounds of ammunition, 300 grenades, 4 Wang Ba box pistols, and 40 rounds of pistol ammunition were sent over together.

Because the unit had just been expanded, there was a shortage of cadres everywhere, and Wang Ping was very fortunate that the company commander and instructor were shoulder-to-shoulder.

Except for the twenty veterans, the remaining recruits, Wang Ping, could hardly find anyone satisfied. However, since he has taken over the burden of the guard company, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he can only be a ninja.

"Comrades, I should all know each other, so I won't introduce myself much. Here, I welcome everyone to join the Guard Company! From now on, we will eat in the same pot and share weal and woe! ”

"I won't talk nonsense, I'll tell you about the basic situation of the guard company now."

"One word, poor! Poor equipment, poor foundation, and poor combat effectiveness. Such a guard company, not to mention protecting the headquarters and protecting the commander, can't even protect itself if it really encounters devils. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ping changed his words and continued: "However, no matter how bad the guard company is, the task of protecting the headquarters cannot be discounted at all! You can see the rifle next to me, they are all 38 big covers equipped by devils, and many of them are new. However, this rifle had only thirty rifles and only six hundred bullets. ”

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the guard company, I decided to equip the thirty rifles with the thirty men with the best marksmanship. The remaining comrades were armed with two grenades first. ”

"However, as a company commander, I give you a guarantee, at the latest, I will equip the whole company of guards with rifles!"

After the reorganization, the 121 members of the guard company were divided into three platoons, one directly under the squad and one in the cooking squad. Each platoon added 34 platoon commanders, 11 people in the direct squad, and five people in the cooking squad, and then there were only company commander Wang Ping and two communications guards.

The old subordinate once served as the deputy of the guard company and the platoon commander of the first platoon. Zhong Yusheng is also in the guard company and serves as the squad leader of the direct squad!

All platoon commanders were equipped with a Wang Ba box, and the 30 rifles were all scattered among the 30 men with good marksmanship, each with 10 rounds of ammunition, and each person with two grenades as standard.

In the next two days, Wang Ping did only one thing, training the guards to carry guns.

It is impossible to train them to be elite in a limited time, but at least they must be able to aim their guns at the enemy and kill the enemy, which is the most basic requirement of Wang Ping for a hundred recruits of the guard company.

In the past two days, the headquarters has also moved from the depths of the mountains to a village, and the conditions have improved a lot.

However, the anti-encirclement and suppression situation outside the mountains has not been alleviated.

Maybe it was because Wang Ping eliminated more than a hundred devils in the forest, which made the co-captain very angry, and what the devils did in the whole encirclement and suppression operation was even more spicy than in history.

Someone died at the hands of devils in almost every village.

Of course, the bestiality of the devil also aroused everyone's determination to resist. Not only did the main forces eliminate a large number of devils through guerrilla warfare, but ordinary people also found every opportunity to kill devils, which was beneficial to the First Army Division.
