Chapter Eighty-Six: The Military Region Shakes
After the two agreed on a trading time with each other, Wang Ping only stopped at the regimental garrison for more than an hour, ate breakfast, and then continued to rush to the military division headquarters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What Wang Ping didn't expect was that before he arrived at the command, his deeds of exchanging 20 veterans from Chen Zhengxiang with a full company of all-Japanese equipment and a large amount of ammunition in a regimental garrison reached the headquarters.
For a while, everyone in the headquarters was looking forward to Wang Ping's arrival to see what good things the local tyrant Wang Ping had prepared for the headquarters.
The military district command, Yang Chengwu and the chief of staff are also discussing the deal.
"This Wang Ping is too cunning, a company of Japanese-style equipment, it seems like a lot, but with the continuous expansion of the troops, twenty old Red Army cadres will become more important. Wang Ping must have seen this and was willing to take out so much equipment and ammunition to exchange with Commander Chen! Chief of Staff Tang glanced at Wang Ping's purpose, and then said with a deep expression.
"It's not to blame Chen Zhengxiang, if he hadn't stayed in the base area and didn't fight, he wouldn't have given Wang Ping so many veterans for the equipment of a company!" Yang Chengwu explained.
It's just that Yang Chengwu didn't expect that the reason why Chen Zhengxiang would agree to send out twenty veterans was for the equipment of a company on the one hand, and for another reason, that is, to return Wang Ping a small favor.
During the anti-encirclement and suppression operation, if Wang Ping had not snatched a lot of equipment and ammunition from the Japanese army and sent it to the front-line combat units in time, the casualties of the two main regiments of the division would certainly have been much greater. Not only Chen Zhengxiang remembered this favor, but also the Second Division Regiment remembered this favor.
The chief of staff nodded and replied: "It is true that the two main regiments have suffered. The General Staff Department is now working out a plan: In peacetime, when there is no major war, can each of the several main regiments of the military sub-region send a main battalion to take turns to fight devils outside the base areas? In this way, we can not only fight devils, temper our troops, and expand the influence of our Eighth Route Army, but also reduce the burden on the base areas. ”
Yang Chengwu's eyes lit up, and he immediately affirmed: "The idea is good, formulate the plan as soon as possible." If feasible, we will also report to the military region and promote it throughout the military region. In that case, you'll have done a great job, Chief of Staff! ”
The chief of staff hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "No, commander, even if there is merit, it is not mine, it is Wang Ping's." This is Wang Ping's proposal to me before he sent out his troops, saying that it would be a waste of food for so many troops to stay in the base area every day for training, and it is better to take turns to attack and go outside the base area to find the little devils! ”
"We can not only fight devils, but also seize equipment and supplies to arm ourselves. What's more important is that I can also train troops, I thought about it and really went back like this, and then let a few staff officers formulate a plan, and then send troops to attack the devils without affecting the security of the base area! ”
"It's this Wang Ping again! I'm getting more and more incomprehensible about him now! Yang Chengwu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile.
The chief of staff agreed and said: "I can't understand him either, especially in the war, he is simply a god." More than 200 people went out, and so many battles were fought in just a few days, and they were won every time, and when I saw the information sent back by the underground party yesterday, I didn't believe my eyes. ”
"When he arrives at the headquarters in a while, I must ask him what he thinks when he fights these battles!"
"Add me one!" Yang Chengwu added with a deep expression.
Then continued: "According to the order given to him at that time, the independent battalion went to Laiyuan for one purpose, to engage in equipment and recruit new soldiers. With Wang Ping's means and so many victories, this goal must have been achieved. Now that it has been reached, the separate battalion should come back together. But only Wang Ping came back. If I'm not mistaken, when Wang Ping came back at this time, he must have some idea to communicate with us. Chief of Staff, it may be useful for you to gather all the information about Laiyuan as soon as possible! ”
When it was almost noon, Wang Ping finally arrived at the headquarters station.
There is no doubt that as soon as Wang Ping arrived at the station, the group became the focus of the headquarters.
In particular, the guards and soldiers stationed at the station were reluctant to leave as soon as their eyes were fixed on the weapons on horseback.
I don't blame them, although the rifles they brought back are all pseudo-military Chinese or other domestic rifles, they are still very good rifles compared to the old sleeves that have been smoothed out in their hands.
It turned out that after the guard company was expanded into an independent battalion, a new guard company was formed at the headquarters.
At this time, Commander Yang Chengwu's old revolutionary style began again, according to the old rules that have always been used, good guns are used by the front-line troops first, and after the front-line troops are selected, there are dozens of old sleeves left in the headquarters guard company that the main forces have completely eliminated the old sleeves that are not used, and there are even more than a dozen singles and one rifle.
Not to mention the poor equipment, the ammunition is pitiful, and each gun is only allocated five rounds. If you encounter an enemy, not to mention the protection of the headquarters, the self-protection of the guard company is a problem.
In the past few days, the newly appointed company commander of the guard company can be said to be worried and frightened, and he is deeply afraid that there will be an enemy around the headquarters.
Now I suddenly heard that Wang Ping, the old company commander of the guard company, had returned, and he had also returned with a large amount of equipment and ammunition. The commander of the guard company seemed to have seen a savior, and he was very excited, and waited directly at the entrance of the village where the headquarters was located, waiting for Wang Ping to arrive.
The soldiers who had just joined the guard company, when they looked at the equipment on horseback, the guard company commander Zhou was not much better, staring at the weapons with bright eyes, eager to directly order his subordinates to snatch them down.
Wang Ping was very aware of the difficulties of the guard company, but the equipment on horseback was for the military division, and without the commander nodding, even if he was still the owner of these equipment, he did not dare to move it casually.
After really not being able to withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the commander of the guard company, Wang Ping was ruthless and directly ordered the baggage platoon to gather the equipment and send it to the guard company.
After all, the guard company has the duty to protect the headquarters, and if the equipment is too poor, the headquarters will be in danger if it encounters the enemy.
Thirty-six three-eight big covers, plus 1,800 rounds of ammunition, this is tantamount to pie in the sky for the guard company.
While ordering his subordinates to move equipment and ammunition back to the station, he kept thanking Wang Ping, and then repeatedly invited Wang Ping to meet the commander and be sure to go to the guard company.
After finally sending the commander of the guard company Zhou away, Wang Ping walked to the headquarters before he could catch his breath.
The commander must have known about his return, and he may be waiting at the headquarters now.
Sure enough, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the command department, I heard the commander's laughter and scolding!
"Battalion Commander Wang Pingwang, it seems that you have really made a fortune in Laiyuan, you just sent out a company of equipment in the morning, and now you have sent out more than 30 38 big covers. If the equipment and ammunition you hand over in a few moments don't satisfy me, then you'll be punished! ”
Wang Ping hurriedly saluted Yang Chengwu and the chief of staff, and then promised: "Please commander, the chief of staff rest assured." The equipment and ammunition I brought were all counted by the instructor himself, and I am sure to satisfy the two leaders! This is the list, a total of five crooked handles, four Czech-made, ten grenadiers, 325 medium formal rifles, 125 old sockets, Mauser and other rifles, a total of 450 rifles, more than 38,000 rounds of matching bullets, I handed in as many as I captured on the battlefield, and not a single bullet was left. In addition, he also brought 15 boxes of 30,000 rounds of 38 large covered bullets, 200 grenades, and not many grenades, only 300! ”
"Also, in order to improve the food for the two chiefs, I brought you two boxes of canned food, one box of beef and one box of pork! There are also a thousand pieces of the ocean, fifteen small yellow croakers, and gold and silver ornaments worth a thousand oceans, of course, these instructors know it later! ”
