"To make bullets and grenades, arsenals always need equipment, at least some of the most basic starting point equipment and small machine tools. Now the military region doesn't provide me with anything, I can only grab it from the Japanese puppet army! Wang Ping did not hide it and replied directly.

Commander Nie only thought for a few seconds before affirming: "Yes, I agree to this request!" Next Request! ”

"I want to transfer some more people from the original independent regiment, they are all trained by me, and they are easy to use. Now the arsenal has no foundation, and if there are not even two people who are handy, it will take a long time to figure out all kinds of relationships! ”

Commander Nie didn't answer this request immediately, and after hesitating for almost a minute, he explained.

"In our Eighth Route Army, the most taboo thing is to engage in mountaineering. Also, the expansion of the independent regiment lacks everything, and you should know this! ”

"However, what you said is also true, so I allow you to draw fifty cadres and soldiers from the Independent Regiment. However, there are also requirements that these 50 people cannot have cadres above the battalion level. As for the equipment, I can send a telegram to a sub-district and ask him to give you all the equipment according to the standards of a reinforced battalion. After all, we have captured a lot of equipment in this anti-encirclement and suppression operation, and you are not inferior to a battalion! ”

"Chief Xie, I'm going to send a telegram to the head of the Independent Regiment and ask him for someone."

In the end, Wang Ping didn't ask for any of the old people he brought out in the independent regiment. The expansion of the independent regiment is imminent, and it will not take too long for the current battalion commander to become the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander. And the best position in his hands is the commander of the arsenal garrison reinforcement battalion, if they are transferred, it will hinder their future!

A few days later, Yang Xiong, commander of the first company of the second battalion of the independent regiment, appeared in front of Wang Ping with 49 cadres and soldiers.

"Report to the head of the group, Yang Xiong was ordered to come and report!" Yang Xiong, who saluted Wang Ping, reported excitedly.

Although I don't know why Wang Ping transferred himself from the main forces of the front to the rear arsenal, and it is not clear what he was doing in the arsenal. However, with Yang Xiong's understanding of Wang Ping, since the old head of the regiment transferred himself, he would definitely not treat himself badly.

"I am no longer the head of the independent regiment, and I am directly called the factory director, so that others will misunderstand when they hear it. First of all, let me introduce you, what are the identities of these cadres and fighters you brought? Wang Ping waved his hand and corrected.

"Yes, Director!" As a former officer of the Jin Sui Army, and was forced by the devil to be an officer of the Imperial Association Army, Yang Xiong's brain is more clever than many people, he understands a little, and then answers very quickly.

"In addition to me, the company-level cadres also have Huang Yu, the instructor of the third battalion and one company!"

"Huang Yu, I know, is a good instructor, no surprise, this promotion to deputy instructor is no problem for you to continue!" Wang Ping is also very satisfied with Huang Yu!

"There are also three platoon leaders, nine squad leaders. In addition, a squad leader and three fighters were transferred from the cavalry company, a squad leader and three gunners were transferred from the artillery battalion, a squad leader and three fighters were drawn from the engineer company, and one soldier was transferred from the reconnaissance platoon. The rest are veterans of the regiment who have fought at least one big battle! ”

Wang Ping smiled, smiling very happily.

Cheng Xiao is worthy of being his old partner, and he will transfer himself a reinforced company shelf as soon as he says the requirements, no, as long as he is willing and has enough troops to replenish it, the shelf of this company can be expanded into a strengthened type casually.

"Where's the equipment? What kind of equipment did you bring with you! Wang Ping, who was a little expectant, stared at Yang Xiong and continued to ask.

"There are 400 rifles, all of which are 38 large caps, and each gun is equipped with 100 bullets. Fifteen light machine guns, the old commissar knew that you don't like crooked handles, and all the ones given were Type 96 light machine guns, each machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition, three heavy machine guns, each heavy machine gun with 1,000 rounds of ammunition, three mortars, no door with 50 shells, and 30 Mauser pistols! Yang Xiong hurriedly replied.

A reinforced shelf, plus the equipment of a reinforced battalion, as long as the promised recruits of the military district arrive, the reinforced garrison of the arsenal will become.

Wang Ping did not hesitate and directly began to give orders.

"With the consent of the military region, I want to set up a reinforced battalion in the arsenal to protect the safety of the arsenal at the same time, but also to fight against the Japanese puppet army, and grab materials and equipment from the Japanese puppet army. Now the arsenal has no equipment, and it must be snatched from the devils little by little. So, this reinforced battalion is very important and must be elite. ”

"I order: Yang Xiong will serve as the commander of the reinforced battalion, Huang Yu will serve as the instructor, and the other company platoon commanders will arrange your own according to the cadres and soldiers you brought over, and then give me a list, and I will personally report to the military region for your record!"

The commander of the reinforced battalion is a veritable deputy regiment-level cadre, and his leap from a company commander to a deputy regiment-level cadre is a company promotion to the third level, which is definitely an unprecedented surprise for Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong, who came with great expectations, was very happy with Wang Ping's surprise to him, and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, the factory director, I will put up the shelves of the reinforced battalion in one day at most!" ”

Returning to the few tents allocated by the military region for the arsenal, Wang Ping focused his eyes on the map and remained motionless.

The reinforced battalion has Yang Xiong, and he doesn't need to have too much heart at all.

Therefore, Wang Ping directly focused his energy on the site selection of the arsenal.

A few days ago, Wang Ping had been thinking about this problem, Wang Ping wanted to choose a terrain like the Yellow Cliff Bottom Arsenal in history, but after a few days of searching, Wang Ping was helpless to find that although the terrain in the entire Wutai Mountain area was very dangerous, there was nothing he wanted.

"Without an absolutely safe site, even if the arsenal is formed, it may be destroyed by the Japanese puppet army at any time, in that case, it will be a failure!" Wang Ping frowned and muttered to himself.

"Let's settle for the next best thing, and find a terrain that is dangerous enough!" Wang Ping finally decided

Eventually, an inconspicuous hill in the Wutai Mountains entered Wang Ping's field of vision.

The four directions of the hill are either canyons or steep cliffs, directly isolating a mountain, and ordinary people can't get there at all. The only way to get into there is the canyon to the east, which is not too steep, and as long as you build a road on it, it is the terrain of Wanfdangguan.

"That's it, guard, call the sappers brought by Battalion Commander Yang from the Independent Regiment, I'll look for him!"

Wang Ping, with Zhang Ding, the leader of the engineer squad, and three sappers rode war horses for nearly five hours before rushing to the top of the mountain he had determined.

Although there are some ways out of the map and reality, it is not that the battalion commander Wang Ping set the arsenal here.

Because Wang Ping was pleasantly surprised to find that the actual terrain here is even more dangerous than on the map. What's more, there is already a hiking path on the east side of the mountain.

"Squad Leader Zhang, I ask you to open a three-meter-wide stone path on the cliff that can lead directly to the mountainside. Then use the mountain to dig a few huge caves that can withstand the bombing of the little devil's plane, is there a problem! ”

is worthy of being a sapper brought out by Xu Ke, even if it does not reach Xu Ke's level, Xu Ke still learns fifty or sixty percent of the things in his stomach.

Zhang Ding didn't speak, but walked to the bottom of the cliff, picked up some weathered fallen stones, and knocked them on the cliff.

The first more in the morning arrives, and I ask for collection! Ask for a subscription!
