Cheng Xiao is worthy of being an old Red Army who served as the director of the division's political department, and he did not look down on himself because he was young, but attached great importance to his own opinions. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the two became familiar with each other in less than an hour, and then Wang Ping briefly introduced the situation of the independent battalion to Cheng Xiao.

"Battalion commander, you're not wrong, one of our battalions is equipped with three mortars, one heavy machine gun, six grenadiers, six crooked handles, and more than 160 38 canopies?" After listening to the introduction, Cheng Xiao asked incredibly.

In his opinion, in addition to the number of rifles that is comparable to the main battalion he knows, the remaining crooked handles, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars are completely worthy of a main regiment.

And in front of him, such good equipment actually appeared in a newly formed independent battalion, and Cheng Xiao couldn't help but be shocked.

It is rare to be proud in front of his former superiors, Wang Ping did not let go of this opportunity, and immediately said: "This is still what is left after the commander forcibly detained a lot of heavy weapons. Lao Cheng, you don't know, our commander is too picky! ”

Wang Ping directly ignored the embarrassed expression on Cheng Xiao's face, and told the whole thing about the promise between himself and the commander and how the commander blackmailed him.

Cheng Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he also had a deeper understanding of Wang Ping in front of him.

Although Yang Chengwu is the commander of the military division, his old superior. But since he has become an instructor of the independent battalion, after listening to Wang Ping's narration, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but complain: "The commander is enough, otherwise our independent battalion and artillery company can be formed!" ”

After finishing, he didn't forget to comfort Wang Ping and said: "Battalion commander, don't complain too much, such good equipment, the three main regiments don't have it, but we have an independent battalion that occupies all of them, let's be content!" ”

"And I believe in the battalion commander, your ability to engage in weapons, I believe that our independent battalion will not take too long, and there will be any artillery company and heavy machine gun company!"

Wang Ping waved his hand and replied: "Lao Cheng, don't be too happy, our independent battalion is not short of equipment for the time being, but there is one thing missing, soldiers!" ”

"Now the independent battalion is full of less than 100 people, and the commander promised to send us a hundred recruits in two days, and the rest will be solved by ourselves!"

"I analyzed it, don't think about it in the base area, the soldiers who can be recruited have been recruited by several main regiments. So, we can only go around the base area and figure out a way! In this case, Lao Cheng, your task as an instructor will be heavy! After all, it's the domain of the little devils! ”

Cheng Xiao is also a militant, and as soon as he heard that he was going to recruit troops around the base area, his eyes lit up and he replied: "Battalion commander, you are wrong, it is better to recruit troops around the base area." The people there have been oppressed by devils, and many people have deep hatred with devils, as long as we go over, we can recruit as many people as we want! ”

"It's just that it's the devil's territory, and if we recruit troops in the past, the devil will definitely find a way to eliminate us. Therefore, before going to recruit troops, we must be fully prepared, and we must have a force that can fight devils to prevent accidents! ”

Cheng Xiao's point-to-point analysis Wang Ping agreed, and then replied very happily: "Therefore, I plan to stay in the base area for ten days to reorganize and train the 200 soldiers of the independent battalion before leaving the base area." ”

"When the time comes, we can recruit troops while training, if the devils dare to come, just use these devils to train the troops, and by the way, supplement the equipment that our independent battalion lacks!"

As a veteran Red Army, Cheng Xiao knows better than anyone the importance of actual combat to military training!

As soon as Wang Ping finished speaking, Cheng Xiao agreed: "Battalion commander, how are you going to reorganize?" ”

Wang Ping was not polite, and replied directly: "Then I'll talk about it first, Lao Cheng, you will give you advice!" ”

"With the recruits that the commander is going to send, we have two hundred! I plan to directly expand into three companies based on the three platoons of the guard company, Lao Zeng will continue to serve as the deputy battalion commander, three platoon commanders will be promoted to company commanders, and three instructors Lao Cheng will arrange for you! ”

"Because of the lack of troops and equipment, each company tentatively has a platoon, a grenadier squad, and a guard squad. When all the recruits and equipment are enough, make up the remaining two platoons and a heavy machine gun squad! ”

"The grenadier squad tentatively has two grenadiers, and will be added to three later. The infantry platoon had three squads, each with a crooked handle and ten riflemen, a total of twelve people. Because the crooked handles are not enough, each platoon is temporarily divided into two, and it will be made up when there is a seizure in the future! ”

"Three mortars formed an artillery platoon, and the heavy machine guns were temporarily placed in the artillery platoon, and Zhang Bing served as the platoon commander. The original guard squad was expanded into a guard platoon, and a full squad was temporarily ensured to be responsible for the safety of the battalion headquarters, with Zhong Yusheng as the platoon commander. The rearrangement will temporarily put up the shelves, and the platoon elder Cheng will decide. The communication squad also set up a shelf first, and the squad leader asked the telegraph operator transferred by the commander to be the one who was transferred, and the cooking squad was still the original cooking squad of the guard company! ”

After all, I just came over, and I am not familiar with the original guard company. Cheng Xiao did not hesitate and directly agreed.

So, in the next ten days, the independent battalion was training in addition to reorganization.

In order to make the recruits progress as soon as possible, Wang Ping ignored Cheng Xiao's opposition and directly took out 5,000 rounds of ammunition to train the troops.

Of course, the huge bullet consumption is not without gain!

Whether it is a veteran or a new recruit, marksmanship has improved a lot.

What made Wang Ping happiest was that after a long period of marksmanship training, he found three sharpshooters with sniper potential in the army. Such a talent Wang Ping did not have the slightest politeness, all received the guard platoon, and when the time is ripe, an independent battalion will be set up!

Another gain is that the food of the independent battalion has improved.

With 5,000 rounds of ammunition, Wang Ping can't let everyone consume them all on the training ground. Not only for the purpose of training, but also to improve the food for the troops and enhance everyone's physique, the three companies took turns to attack and hunt in the surrounding forests!

As a large number of prey were sent to the barracks, the physique of the two hundred people in the independent battalion immediately took a qualitative leap, and in just a few days, they changed from yellow and thin at the beginning to ruddy complexion, and their bodies seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

Instructor Cheng Xiao was very opposed to using bullets to train troops at first, and he also used a full 5,000 rounds of ammunition, which was simply a waste.

But after seeing the great changes in the independent battalion, this opposition disappeared, and he began to slowly believe in Wang Ping's assurances to himself at that time.

As long as the independent battalion is trained, even if it costs 5,000 rounds of ammunition, when it encounters the devil, it may be withdrawn from the devil at any time.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as the time came, Wang Ping set off with his troops, aiming at Laiyuan County, which was heavily defended by the devils.

As a transportation artery, and to guard against the Eighth Route Army of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army stationed an infantry wing here.

Of course, this infantry wing was crippled on the front line, with a total strength of only two thousand people.

However, in addition to the Japanese army, there is also a regiment of puppet troops in Laiyuan County, with a total strength of 1,000 people.

There was such a strong army stationed in Laiyuan, which directly led to the snobbery of Laiyuan's resistance being wiped out by the Japanese army. More than 100,000 people in Laiyuan live in the middle of dire straits, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak!
