Genius remembered for a second, "Love ♂ ÷ small? Say →', provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Yang Xiong's second company and platoon were the first to come back, and Kang Sheng recruited more than 100 recruits in Li Gong Town in front, and recruited dozens more on the way back. When Yang Xiong came back, he brought back more than 450 recruits in one platoon.

After the other five platoons came back one after another, the number of recruits taken over by Cheng Xiao directly exceeded 2,500.

"This, instructor, there are too many people, and it is no problem to form two main groups. And we don't have so many guns for them! Zeng Quan asked with a worried face.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words revealed his thoughts: "There are too many recruits, and it is definitely unrealistic to accept them all." ”

Cheng Xiao was also very hesitant, two thousand five hundred recruits, plus more than 1,000 people who were being trained in Zeng Quan's hands, plus the remaining four or five hundred people in the independent battalion, that is, a small 4,000 people, a whole brigade of troops.

Even if Wang Ping went to the headquarters to get back the establishment of the independent regiment, it would not be necessary to use so many people.

However, these recruits were recruited by the Eighth Route Army in addition to the settling-in allowance, and if they were allowed to go back, it would be too much of a loss, and it would be impossible to recover the settling-in fee, which was a blow to the credit and honor of the Eighth Route Army.

At this moment, Wang Ping's words before leaving suddenly appeared in Cheng Xiao's mind.

"Next, the independent battalion will face an unprecedented crisis, which is related to the life and death of the independent battalion, and many soldiers will die in this crisis. Therefore, if you want to survive this crisis, the independent battalion must have sufficient troops for the battlefield to consume! ”

Cheng Xiao was not a fool, and he understood the implicit meaning of Wang Ping's words at that time.

In the face of the heavy encirclement and suppression that the Japanese army may launch next, no matter how well prepared the independent battalion is, in the face of the Japanese army with absolute superiority, many times it can only use human lives to fill in this method to resist the Japanese attack.

If the independent battalion really reached this point, in the face of a Japanese attack of several thousand, no matter how many recruits there were, it would not be able to withstand the trenches.

Although he was very reluctant to send these recruits to the battlefield, Cheng Xiao had no choice. If you really want to blame it, blame this damn war, blame the little devil who started this war.

After taking a deep breath, Cheng Xiao frowned at first, and then decided: "Leave them all behind, form twenty-five recruit companies, and let each recruit company be led by a veteran for training!" ”

"But we don't have that much equipment, not even the most basic rifles!" Zeng Quan continued to ask.

"Each recruit company starts with ten guns and a thousand bullets, and lets them practice first. As for the missing equipment, wait for the battalion commander to come back and let him figure it out! In addition, the six main platoons that went out also brought back hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, which was enough to feed our 4,000 people for two months. So, leave them behind and train the troops first! Cheng Xiao made a decision immediately.

When the independent battalion garrison was overcrowded and had to expand the garrison into the surrounding woods for training. Wang Ping had already rushed to the headquarters of the military region, and Yang Chengwu, who had received the news in advance, and Xiong Botao, chief of staff, were waiting for him at the gate of the headquarters.

Especially Yang Chengwu, as soon as he saw Wang Ping, he patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction: "You kid did a good job in Laiyuan, and the shot is the lives of hundreds of devils, and the results are worth launching a battle in the military division." You don't know, when the Chief of Staff and I received the information, we almost didn't believe it was true! ”

Chief of Staff Xiong Botao added: "Your battle at the Xiaguan stronghold not only frightened me and the commander, but Commander Nie of the Military Region didn't know where to get the news, but also sent a telegram commending you. You must know that since the establishment of the military region, Commander Nie has never directly commended a battalion-level cadre, you are the first, and now the entire military region knows that our first division has produced a wise general! ”

After some greetings, Yang Chengwu, who entered the conference room directly, quickly returned to his usual serious expression, and then asked Wang Ping.

"We already know the situation in Laiyuan, your opponent is very smart, and we can see at a glance that you intend to consume his veterans and delay his purpose of forming a new brigade to form combat effectiveness. If it's not surprising, if it's slow, it will take a month, or if it's fast, it will take ten days, and the Japanese army in Laiyuan City will send heavy troops to encircle and suppress your independent battalion! ”

"How about it, if you feel that it is difficult to continue to take root in Laiyuan, I will allow you to come back with the main force of the independent battalion, while the devils have not blocked your station!"

Hearing this, Wang Ping understood that the commander and chief of staff must have thought that they were coming back now to ask for help.

After the two people watched, Wang Ping first shook his head, and then affirmed: "Please rest assured, commander and chief of staff, since I have already made a military order and can take root at the source, I will definitely be able to do it!" ”

"And when it's time for you to come back?" Xiong Botao asked rhetorically with a look of incomprehension.

It stands to reason that Wang Qing should be the busiest right now. The Japanese army in Laiyuan may be attacked at any time, as the commander of the independent battalion, the most important thing Wang Ping should do is to arrange the defense, not to report the situation to the headquarters!

"Two things!" Wang Ping's answer was neat!

"The first thing is that the separate battalion had good luck in the battle for the Shimonoseki stronghold, captured a radio station, intact. When I came back this time, I brought the commander with you and the telegraph operator you gave me, hoping to establish a radio link between the independent battalion and the military division! ”

"There is no problem with this, I promised you when I gave you the operator that the first radio station seized by the independent battalion in Laiyuan will be used by you. In a moment, I'll have someone give you the codebook. When the time comes, you will be able to contact not only the military division, but also the military district command! ”

"Commander Xie!" Wang Ping immediately thanked.

Then he went on to ask, "One more thing! The situation in Laiyuan is getting worse and worse, and the independent battalion may be surrounded and suppressed by the Japanese army at any time. As long as the mixed brigades of the Japanese army in Laiyuan City form combat effectiveness, they will send at least 3,000 elites to encircle and suppress us. Although we are confident that we can repel the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, the disparity in strength with an independent battalion against the elite of the Japanese army of three or four thousand is too great! ”

Yang Chengwu directly showed a sudden expression of realization on his face, and after glancing at each other with Chief of Staff Xiong Botao, he said: "If you want to compile, you must compile, don't make so many detours!" ”

"Isn't it the establishment of an independent regiment, I can apply to Commander Nie for you. The key is, do you have the strength to expand your independent battalion into an independent regiment, I Yang Chengwu don't want a shelf regiment! ”

Wang Ping assured with a confident face: "Please rest assured, commander, it is definitely not a shelf regiment." Not only is it not, but it is also a well-deserved main regiment of the military division! ”

"Main group, it seems that you have been prepared. Then tell us about the current situation of your independent battalion? Yang Chengwu was also interested, and immediately asked.

Wang Ping immediately replied: "When I came, the independent battalion had nearly 500 combat troops, all of whom were veterans of several battles. In addition, Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng also had 1,200 recruits in his hands, of which more than 700 were directly converted from the captured Imperial Cooperative Army. They are all veterans, and as long as they have undergone run-in training and ideological education, they can replenish the troops at any time! ”

"In addition, when I came to the division, I also sent six main platoons, taking advantage of the gap between the Japanese army's abandonment of the stronghold of Laiyuan City to recruit troops in the entire territory of Laiyuan, not to mention more, there will definitely be no problem for one platoon to bring back a hundred recruits."
