In this battle in history, the Japanese puppet army only dispatched more than 40,000 people in total.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also won an unprecedented victory in the entire anti-encirclement and suppression battle, destroying nearly 6,000 Japanese puppet troops and seizing a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Now because of the existence of Wang Ping, the Japanese puppet army dispatched 40,000 people, plus the Imperial Army, the North China Front Army dispatched a full 80,000 people.

Of course, the strength of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has also been much stronger than in history.

Because the first division successfully captured Laiyuan City, a large number of weapons and equipment were seized. The 1st Army Division expanded a few months earlier than in history into a formidable force of three detachments and nine regiments.

Several other military divisions also surrendered a lot of weapons and equipment because Wang Ping repaired a large number of weapons and equipment that were damaged on the battlefield, and the first division also surrendered a lot of weapons and equipment after taking Laiyuan City, and the overall strength was also several more main regiments than in history.

It is precisely because the strength of the military region is more than a dozen regiments of different sizes than in history, including independent regiments with strong combat effectiveness. In this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, the number of enemies annihilated by the military region alone was more than twice as high, not to mention the large amount of weapons and equipment captured in the war of annihilation.

The battle report was sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy commander, who never drank alcohol during working hours, drank a large bowl of wine directly out of joy.

"Boss, Commander Nie fought well this time, and the Japanese army alone has nearly 10,000 people. The Central Army has never had a battle to eliminate so many Japanese puppet troops on a frontal battlefield, and if such a battle report is sent to Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang will definitely be shocked! "The chief of staff was also very happy, and it was rare to drive along the line once in front of a serious deputy commander.

"Send, send! Didn't the Central Army keep saying that we swim and don't attack? This is the best response to this statement of the Central Army. The deputy commander said with an affirmative face, and the whole person was happy except for a bad breath, which was very refreshing.

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and when he subconsciously raised his concerns, the deputy commander changed his words and continued: "However, the content of the battle report must be changed!" ”

"Erase all the information about the 1st Divisional Independent Regiment from the war report and report it to the Nationalist Government. As for Yan'an, the original text was forwarded to the past. ”

"Some time ago, because of the poison gas bomb, the Independent Regiment and Wang Ping have been in the limelight enough, if Lao Jiang knows that there are tens of thousands of Japanese puppet troops who died in his hands, then it will definitely not let such talents continue to stay in our Eighth Route Army!"

"You know, although the matter of the last poison gas bomb was temporarily resolved, we all know that there is no wind and no waves. Especially the little devils, if they didn't suffer a big loss, they would definitely not use poison gas bombs to black themselves. Lao Jiang is not a fool, he must know what is going on! So before this matter is completely over, the independent regiment and Wang Ping must not appear again! ”

"Also, contact the Jinchaji Military Region immediately, now that the battle is over, I want to find out what happened that night, and ask Wang Ping, the head of the Independent Regiment, to send him a telegram in person!"

When the headquarters of the independent regiment received a telegram from the headquarters forwarded by the military region, Wang Ping immediately realized that he could not hide the unauthorized use of poison gas bombs.

Since this is the case, Wang Ping has become calm.

Seeing the worried expression on the political commissar's face, Wang Ping directly comforted: "Don't worry, political commissar, I will write the content of the telegram." The matter has passed, and the reason why the headquarters is chasing after it is not aimed at me Wang Ping, but to take the discipline of our Eighth Route Army seriously. ”

"We can destroy so many devils, capture so much heavy equipment, and more importantly, keep our base area, and there is no problem at all with a punishment or demotion!"

"Besides, I was promoted from a company-level staff officer to a regimental commander in such a short period of time, looking at our Eighth Route Army, it is absolutely unique, even if it is demoted, it is nothing, just take advantage of this time to take a good rest."

A few hours later, a secret telegram appeared in the hands of Commander Nie of the military region.

"Sure enough, Chief of Staff, this kid Wang Ping really used a poison gas bomb!" Commander Nie scolded very unhappily.

The chief of staff comforted instead: "Commander, he can't be blamed for this, if it were me, in that case, in order to keep the base area, I would also use poison gas bombs!" ”

Commander Nie shook his head and replied, "I know you're saying good things to him, but a violation of discipline is a violation of discipline. ”

And Wang Ping's use of poison gas bombs this time almost brought the entire Eighth Route Army into a passive situation. Not surprisingly, a very serious punishment is certainly indispensable. Otherwise, in the future, there will be people in our Eighth Route Army who will violate discipline and make the same mistakes. ”

"Immediately forward the original text of the secret message to the headquarters, and hope that the headquarters' punishment of Wang Ping will not be too serious!"

"Smack!" After reading the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief's clenched fist slammed directly on the table in front of him out of anger, and then scolded.

"This Wang Ping really used poison gas bombs, doesn't he know the discipline of our Eighth Route Army? I'm going to shoot him as an example! ”

"The boss is angry!" The chief of staff hurriedly persuaded.

"I agree to punish Wang Ping, but I don't agree to shoot him. He was a good fighter, and it was a pity to shoot him. And he used gas bombs to kill devils, a tooth for a tooth. I suggest that he be dismissed from his post as head of an independent regiment and transferred to the headquarters as a staff officer, and that he be taught a lesson, and by the way, I would also like to warn all the cadres of the army that in the future, they must not violate discipline because of momentary pleasure! ”

"It's too light!" The anger on the face of the deputy commander-in-chief did not subside much, and he refused directly.

"Let him go to the cooking class to carry the cauldron, let him calm down. It also let the other regiment commanders know that the headquarters attaches great importance to this kind of thing, and they make an example of the chickens! ”

"Then I will immediately give an order to Commander Nie of the Jinchaji Military Region!" The chief of staff, who was afraid that the deputy commander-in-chief was angry and planned to shoot Wang Ping, hurriedly replied.

At the headquarters of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, looking at the telegram sent by the headquarters, Commander Nie and the chief of staff both crumpled into a big Sichuan character.

From the head of the main regiment directly to a gang, it can be seen how angry the head of the headquarters is.

"Commander, you really want to send Wang Ping to the headquarters to be a man!" The chief of staff asked reluctantly.

"No! This is because the headquarters does not understand Wang Ping, and only treats Wang Ping as an ordinary regiment leader. We ourselves know that Wang Ping played a vital role in winning the war against encirclement and suppression. Let's not talk about the credit, just the things in his stomach, I don't agree with him to be a man! The commander said firmly.

"No, I want to send a telegram to the headquarters, and I don't agree to transfer Wang Ping to the headquarters as a man."

"But the order has already been issued, and you know the boss's temper, just sending a telegram to the past will backfire!" The chief of staff reminded with a worried look on his face.

"Then make all the importance of Wang Ping to the military region and his series of military exploits clear. It's a waste for such a talent to be a gangster! When Commander Nie said this, his tone was very resolute, without the slightest tone of discussion.

Suddenly, Commander Nie thought of Wang Ping's ability to repair weapons and equipment, and his eyes lit up and he said.

"We can suggest that the headquarters transfer Wang Ping out of the army. Isn't the military district going to form an arsenal! Let him be the factory director. From the head of the main force to the head of the arsenal, it should be a very heavy punishment for our military cadres, and it will not bury talents! ”

"That's it, I'll send a telegram to headquarters right away. Wang Ping is a talent, I am Baoding! ”
