Chapter Eighty-Eight: Expansion of the Independent Regiment?
Yes, that is, satisfied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was satisfied with Wang Ping's answer, but also with Wang Ping's vision and courage.
Before Yang Chengwu could speak, the chief of staff next to him, who had been frowning, also showed an expression of sudden realization, and then said excitedly: "Commander, Wang Ping's idea is really feasible!" ”
"According to the intelligence, the reinforcements that the devil is going to send over are still in Tianjin, which means that it will take at least a month for this brigade of the Laiyuan Japanese army to form combat effectiveness. If the independent battalion can really make good use of this month's time, it will win a few more battles and eat more devil veterans. Even if those supplementary soldiers reach Laiyuan, the Japanese army will take longer to form combat effectiveness due to the lack of veterans! ”
"When the time comes, the independent battalion can also take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army has not formed combat effectiveness and continue to attack, so that Laiyuan will fall into a chaotic situation where there are battles everywhere and the Eighth Route Army everywhere. In this way, the urgency of the Japanese army's delay will change from encircling and suppressing the independent battalion to a stable place! ”
"Of course, there is a premise for this, the independent battalion uses this time to continue to attack, killing and injuring a large number of devils, and at the same time, its own strength must also continue to expand. Only with sufficient troops, can the independent battalion make Laiyuan bloom everywhere, beacon fire everywhere, so that the devils can't take care of the head and tail, and have no energy to encircle and suppress the independent battalion! ”
Chief of Staff Xiong Botao's analysis gave Wang Ping a sense of sudden enlightenment. Although he thought that this more than one month was the only chance for the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan, in such a short period of time, it was impossible for him to think of how the independent battalion could use this time to gain a firm foothold.
Therefore, the words of the chief of staff were like an initiation, which made his thinking expand all at once.
Then he assured with great emotion: "Chief of Staff Xie pointed out, I guarantee that the independent battalion will definitely be able to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan according to your ideas and come out with a base area!" ”
"Teachable!" This is Yang Chengwu's evaluation of Wang Ping now!
The name of the political commissar of the Third Army Subdivision of the Military Region is also Wang Ping, and he is a well-known veteran political worker of the Military Region. And Wang Ping in front of him, although he is still many levels behind the political commissar of the military sub-district in terms of level. However, with Wang Ping's military literacy and operational command ability that he is now showing. Yang Chengwu is sure that Wang Ping will definitely become a rare general and a wise general.
Two Wang Ping, one article and one martial arts, will definitely become a good story!
Since Wang Ping is full of confidence in staying in Laiyuan, and indeed the independent battalion has the opportunity to develop and grow in Laiyuan. Of course, Yang Chengwu will not stop it, not only will he not stop it, but he will also find a way to give Wang Ping some support.
This is because the independent battalion has gained a firm foothold in Laiyuan, which means that the tentacles of the First Army Division extend to Laiyuan, which will certainly be very beneficial to the development of the First Army Division.
"Okay, I agree that the independent battalion will develop in Laiyuan! But I have a request, if something can't be done, the independent battalion must preserve its strength as much as possible, retreat to the base area, or retreat to the mountains, and must not fight hard with the devils, I don't want to hear the news that the independent battalion is wiped out in Laiyuan! Yang Chengwu made the final decision with a serious face.
"Please rest assured, commander, chief of staff, the independent battalion will definitely be able to complete the task!" Wang Ping also replied with a serious face, and his words were full of confidence.
Yang Chengwu nodded in affirmation, and then fell into deep thought.
After a full minute, he said: "The independent battalion has an Achilles' heel, that is, there are few veterans, especially the proportion of veteran Red Army cadres, which is not even a single CD, which is very dangerous. I'm sure you also saw this, and only then exchanged the equipment of a company for twenty veterans from Chen Zhengxiang! ”
"Other aspects of the military subdivision can't help you, but in order to expand the base area to Laiyuan, even if you take out your family resources, you have to support you!"
"Chief of Staff, you are more familiar with the people in the headquarters than me, if you get together, how many people can you support the independent battalion. Military cadres will not be given, and there should be many people in the puppet army he captured who can be cultivated. The main thing is the political work cadres, it doesn't matter if the price is low, you can slowly progress when you get to the independent battalion. The independent battalion has a large number of prisoners and a very complicated number of soldiers, so it is necessary to strengthen the allocation of political work cadres and strengthen the education of the party. Otherwise, when the size of the army continues to expand, there will definitely be problems! ”
Xiong Botao also knew that it was important for the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan for the future development of the military subdivision, so he was particularly cautious after hearing Yang Chengwu's order to draw people.
After thinking for a whole minute, he replied: "Recently, the military region has sent us a lot of students who have loved us, and they have taken over a lot of work in the headquarters. Commander, the General Staff Department can transfer three staff officers here, all of whom were company commanders and instructors from the Red Army, three cadres from the Logistics Department, six cadres and officers from the Political Department, and then eight officers and the old Red Army from other departments, a total of twenty people! These people with low rank can be used as squad leaders, deputy platoon commanders, and deputy instructors, and those with high ranks can directly become company commanders and instructors, and there is no problem in becoming battalion commanders and instructors after some training. ”
Yang Chengwu nodded in affirmation: "Yes, I remember that when you first formed the independent battalion, you asked me to leave a radio operator, and go back to get a radio station from the devil as soon as possible to facilitate contact." ”
"In addition, this time you brought back so many weapons and ammunition, and the headquarters guard company just took the opportunity to expand into a guard battalion, and the extra equipment must be divided, mainly for the second regiment and the third regiment that has just been formed, after all, Chen Zhengxiang just got a company of pure Japanese-style equipment from you!"
"In the case of the second regiment, the proportion of veterans is not as high as that of the first regiment, but it is still much higher than your independent battalion, and when the time comes, I will use these equipment to ask you for ten old Red Army soldiers from Commander Zhao!"
Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he replied very excitedly: "Thank you, commander, with these veterans, the independent battalion will definitely not disappoint the division!" ”
Yang Chengwu waved his hand and continued: "Do you still remember the promise that Commander Nie came to give you at the beginning, as long as you bring the independent battalion into a real elite, it can be expanded into an independent regiment at any time." I decided to expand the independent battalion into an independent regiment ahead of schedule in order to meet the needs of Laiyuan's struggle against the enemy. ”
Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then his face became even more excited. Just when he subconsciously wanted to thank Yang Chengwu, the other party suddenly interrupted.
"However, after the expansion into an independent regiment, the commander of the regiment is still not you, then it is not me who has the final say, but the commander of the military region Nie nods. Therefore, after returning to Laiyuan, you must come up with a result that can make Commander Nie's heart move, otherwise, no matter how much Commander Nie trusts you, it is impossible for you to be the head of the regiment. After all, there are many people in the military region who are qualified to be regiment commanders, and each of them must have their own qualifications and combat merits! ”
"I won't say much nonsense, as long as you can take the independent battalion to gain a firm foothold in Laiyuan, and then use these veterans to expand the independent battalion to 1,500 people, I will personally go to the military region to recommend you as the commander of the independent regiment!"
"Pledge to live up to the trust of the commander and chief of staff." Wang Ping's face also became serious, and he assured loudly!
Like Chen Zhengxiang, the Second Regiment also owes Wang Ping a favor, and the ten veterans have not reached the point of breaking the bones for the Second Regiment.
As soon as the order from the headquarters arrived, the 2nd Regiment drew 10 men from the guard company with the largest proportion of veterans and hurried to report to the headquarters.
In order to ensure that he passed through the checkpoints and strongholds of the Japanese puppet army in Laiyuan at night, Wang Ping set off from the headquarters at noon the next day.
When he arrived at the garrison of the first regiment, Chen Zhengxiang also received an order from the independent battalion to stay in Laiyuan to fight devils.
Because the garrison borders Laiyuan, and Chen Zhengxiang also received information that the Japanese army in Laiyuan was about to be expanded into a brigade. He was well aware of the dire situation faced by the independent battalion in Laiyuan.
In this case, it is particularly important how many veterans there are in the army and what the combat effectiveness is.
Therefore, when Wang Ping arrived at the garrison of the first regiment, Chen Zhengxiang had already prepared the twenty old Red Army cadres who had promised him.
As for the Japanese-style equipment promised by Wang Ping at the beginning, Chen Zhengxiang did not mention it. Under such circumstances, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh that the old revolution is the old revolution. Even if Chen Zhengxiang didn't mention the equipment, he couldn't forget it. When you go back, be sure to bring your equipment as soon as possible.
Because there was no drag from the baggage horses, and the old Red Army cadres who went to Laiyuan with Wang Ping had suffered everything, this kind of night march was a piece of cake for them. So, they went back very quickly. At three o'clock in the second half of the night, I returned to the independent battalion station!
