"Boss, Commander Nie of the Jinchaji Military Region personally sent a telegram, he disagreed with the punishment of Wang Ping by the headquarters, and he also gave a reason!" The chief of staff walked into the war room of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army with a telegram and said to the deputy commander-in-chief.

As a senior commander, the most taboo thing for a deputy commander is that his subordinates do not obey orders and do not follow the rules. If it weren't for the chief of staff repeatedly persuading him, he would have had the idea of shooting Wang Ping.

Therefore, as soon as he heard the chief of staff say that the deputy commander-in-chief refused: "I don't look at it, no one can intercede for this Wang Ping!" ”

"If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price too late. Otherwise, how should my old Peng lead the troops in the future! A telegram was sent back to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, saying that the order would remain unchanged and that the Military Region must carry it out unconditionally! ”

The chief of staff did not leave, but put the telegram in front of the boss, and then said: "Boss, I think you should take a look at this telegram, and the reasons mentioned by Commander Nie in the telegram are very strong. Moreover, Commander Nie did not intercede with Wang Ping, he just wanted the headquarters to change the punishment and not transfer him out of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region! ”

After repeated persuasion by the chief of staff, the deputy commander-in-chief picked up the telegram with a frown.

It didn't take long for the anger on the deputy commander's face to disappear and be replaced by a deeply shocked expression, followed by a painful hesitation.

The chief of staff, who also wanted to keep Wang Ping's talent, asked at the right time: "How is it, boss, I was frightened by the content of the telegram!" ”

"I was also frightened after reading the telegram at the time. Unexpectedly, Wang Ping, a small company-level staff officer, would make such a great contribution in one year. It can be said that Wang Ping has played a great role in the situation that the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region has been able to have today. Especially in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, without him, Wang Ping would not have had such a big victory! With such an excellent talent leading soldiers, you are really willing to let him be a partner. It's me anyway, I won't! ”

The expression on the deputy commander-in-chief's face was obviously much better, and his speech was not as angry as just now.

"I have to admit that this Wang Ping is indeed a good fighter."

"However, no matter how powerful the war is, it can't be regarded as a reliance, and if you don't take the rules of our Eighth Route Army into account, whoever will make mistakes."

The chief of staff hurriedly comforted: "The boss is angry, and this Wang Ping will not dare to make a mistake until it is absolutely necessary." ”

The telegram also said that the independent regiment at that time had reached a critical juncture of life and death, and if Wang Ping had not used this method, the independent regiment would probably be finished. I decided that the punishment must be punished, but it is not necessary to let him open the headquarters as a partner. I think Commander Nie's punishment is more appropriate~"

The deputy commander-in-chief frowned and asked, "Chief of Staff, what benefits did this Wang Ping give you, how can you help him speak!" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is no benefit, but, boss, I really like this kid, especially after reading this telegram, I like it even more." Besides, the talents that both Commander Nie and Yang Chengwu value are definitely not far behind! ”

The deputy commander-in-chief also showed a helpless smile from the bottom of his heart: "That's it, you said so, what else can I say!" Call back Commander Nie, and the headquarters agrees with their decision to punish them. Tell him to forward the original telegram just now to Yan'an, and Yan'an must still be paying attention to this matter! ”

"Yes, boss!" The chief of staff breathed a sigh of relief, and then said happily.

Because the troops captured a large amount of weapons and equipment, excluding heavy weapons, the large number of small arms captured alone was enough for the independent regiment to be expanded into a brigade at will.

So, the recovery of the separate regiment was very fast.

Eight hundred were drawn from local troops, plus eight hundred who were converted from prisoners, and there were also light and serious wounded who were discharged from field hospitals one after another.

In less than a month, the regiment was restored to its full strength of 2,500 men.

Early in the morning, as soon as Wang Ping had arranged for the training of the troops, Zhong Yusheng, the commander of the guard company, recklessly rushed into the war room.

"Regiment commander, the commander has opened, and he has arrived at the gate of the station!"

"Why didn't you report it earlier! Commissar, go, let's go out to meet the commander! Wang Ping glared at Zhong Yusheng fiercely and said.

"No, I'm here. It's not to blame Company Commander Zhong, it's me who I won't let me say! Commander Yang Chengwu's voice immediately sounded at the door of the war room, and then he walked in happily to see him.

After some greetings, the commander was not polite, and asked directly: "Wang Ping, report to me about the current situation of the independent regiment!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Wang Ping's face immediately became serious.

"The independent regiment has now resumed its full strength of 2,500 people, including three main battalions, an artillery battalion, a heavy machine gun company, a guard company, an engineer company, a reconnaissance platoon, a communications platoon, plus the regimental headquarters!"

"The three battalions are under the jurisdiction of three main companies, a fire company, a guard platoon, a reconnaissance squad, and a communications squad!"

"The infantry company has three infantry platoons, a grenadier squad and a guard squad!"

"The unit is now undergoing restorative training, and in less than two months, its combat effectiveness will certainly not be able to catch up with what it was before the anti-encirclement and suppression. After all, this time the losses of the anti-encirclement and suppression were too great, and a lot of local troops and prisoners were added in! ”

The commander was very satisfied with this result, but the smile on his face did not last long before being replaced by seriousness, and a pair of eyes kept scanning back and forth between Cheng Xiao and Wang Ping, and it took a full minute before asking.

"You should have guessed the purpose of my coming here this time!"

Wang Ping has been waiting for this day, and now that this day has come, he has become very calm.

"Commander, I understand, it must be my punishment. I made a big mistake in this matter, and I can't shoot me too much! ”

"You know!" At the mention of this incident, the commander was angry, and then couldn't help but scold.

"Do you know that because of your recklessness, not only did you lose a chance to be promoted, but I also suffered a big punishment!"

Wang Ping's face suddenly became serious: "Commander, no matter what the punishment, I don't regret it." If I had to choose again, I would do it again. No matter what, I will not watch the Independent Regiment be crippled by the devils, or even annihilated. If one life can be exchanged for a thousand devil lives, it will definitely be worth it! ”

"I know you're a kid, a tendon. Forget it, let's not talk about it! The commander waved his hand and replied helplessly.

Then he took out a document and began to announce the order.

"In order to further strengthen the anti-Japanese armed strength of Laiyuan, the military region decided to reorganize the independent regiment of the first subdivision: the independent regiment was expanded into a reinforced regiment, with an artillery battalion directly under the regiment, an artillery company directly under the battalion, a heavy machine gun company, and a firepower platoon directly under the company, with a total strength of 3,500 people!"

"This time you have captured a lot of heavy artillery, and it is definitely unrealistic to leave all of them behind. I discussed with Commander Nie and decided to leave you an artillery battalion, three mortar companies, three heavy machine gun companies with heavy equipment, and as much light weapons as you lacked. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, a separate heavy artillery company was formed for the three heavy artillery guns, which was temporarily under the command of the independent regiment. If there is a need in other battlefields, divisions and military divisions can be transferred at any time! ”
