Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong suddenly walked in: "Regiment commander, there is news from the second battalion, the situation is very bad!" ”

"Heavy casualties?" Wang Ping looked up and asked.

"Yes!" The chief of staff affirmed.

"The second battalion marched during the day according to the order, but the devils still sent planes to bomb, causing them a lot of casualties!"

Wang Ping immediately reacted: "If there are wounded, the speed of the troops' march will be greatly affected. Coupled with the fact that there are devil planes in the sky constantly reporting their location, there must be troops who are being chased by devils on the march......"

The chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and asked with an incredulous expression: "How do you know, regiment commander!" ”

"This must be a poisonous plan that Matsui, an old devil, came up with, and after talking to him for so long, how can he figure out some of his thoughts and combat ideas." Wang Ping replied with a frown.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiao Yunshan, where are they now?" ”

"Here!" Zhong Chenggong replied by pointing to a dot on the map.

Wang Ping's face instantly became heavy, and he stared at the map and analyzed: "It's too far, it's nearly fifty kilometers away from the mountains and hills north of Linfen. Tonight, they will walk a maximum of thirty kilometers, and tomorrow there will be another twenty kilometers to be completely exposed to the bombardment of devil planes. ”

"Today we will lose an infantry company in one day, and tomorrow the losses will definitely be no less."

"In this case, the second battalion will be killed by all the devils before it reaches the north of Linfen!"

The chief of staff was anxious: "Then what to do?" Commander, is there a solution? ”

"It's really not good, let the second battalion not leave tomorrow during the day, find a place to hide. There's still one night to go, and I'm sure I'll be able to find a place to hide. ”

Wang Ping shook his head, and then said helplessly: "There are planes in the sky, Japanese puppet army agents on the ground, and devil special forces following them, plus they are surrounded by plains, and there are not even patches of groves, where can they hide?" ”

Xiong Changhe, who was complaining that there was no fight just now, stopped screaming at this time, his brows were tightly locked, and he stood next to him with his head down, without saying a word.

He didn't expect the situation outside to be so bad.

The second battalion, which was so well trained and equipped to make itself red-eyed, lost a company in one day out.

I dare not imagine if it was myself and a battalion that went out. After a day of fighting, can there be so many people left in the army!

Wang Ping suddenly raised his head: "The pressure on the second battalion must be relieved." Otherwise, the second battalion will definitely not be proud of tomorrow's day! ”

Zhong Chenggong seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, stared at Wang Ping, and asked anxiously.

"Commander, do you have a way?"

"Not yet, but I'll make sure of one thing first!" Wang Ping shook his head and directly began to give orders.

"Send a telegram to the invalids of the 4th Battalion immediately, I want to know the specific equipment and real combat effectiveness of the 4th Battalion and the other two companies. Tell the Invalids that this is related to whether our new regiment can gain a firm foothold outside the mountain, and all reports must be true! ”

"After receiving the message, call back as soon as possible, I will be waiting next to the radio!"

In Tianjia Village, the battle is likely to start in these two days. Coupled with the fact that the other two companies of nearly 400 people poured into the village, it was neither necessary nor possible to continue to hide.

Therefore, since yesterday, Rong Jun, the captain of the escort team of the maintenance society in the eyes of the common people, has become the commander of the fourth battalion of the new first regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

"Battalion commander, the common people still have a wait-and-see attitude, no matter how we explain it, they don't believe that we are the Eighth Route Army!" Walking into the headquarters of the maintenance association, instructor He Yun shook his head and complained.

"That's for sure!" The Invalids had expected this result and were not surprised at all!

"When we were still maintaining the guards, in order not to reveal our identities, we did a lot of bad things for the devils. Although no one has been killed, the common people have it in their hearts, how can you make them believe it with a sentence or two! ”

"If I guessed correctly, the common people not only don't believe you, but also hide away from you, thinking that you are lying to them, deliberately trapping them, making them admit that they have a relationship with the Eighth Route Army, and then framing them!"

"It's true, so many people think so, hiding from me is the same as hiding from the plague!" The instructor stared at the invalids as if he had found a bosom friend

Rong Jun didn't answer, but replied with a relaxed face: "It's just right if you don't believe it, instructor, so that our identity as the Eighth Route Army can be hidden from the devil for a few more days." ”

"Even though we locked down the village, no one was immune to accidents. If the common people don't believe that we are the Eighth Route Army, then the probability of such an accident is even lower! ”

"That's what I said, but I feel uncomfortable when I see the people looking at us like enemies!" The instructor's face instantly looked a lot better.

As a battalion commander, the Invalids are most concerned about the combat effectiveness of the troops.

As soon as the instructor finished complaining, the invalids stared at him and asked, "Lao He, don't forget, you are not only an instructor now, but also the temporary deputy commander of our fourth battalion." The equipment and ammunition of the troops, but you are in charge! ”

"I guessed correctly, the combat mission will come down in the next day or two, and whether the troops can go to the battlefield to fight the devil or not, the key is up to you!"

"No problem!" Instructor He Yun replied confidently.

"Battalion commander, you don't know, the regiment commander has hoarded more than one weapon in the valley, except for mortars, other heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, everything, but the ammunition is a little less, but it is enough for us to fight a few battles!"

"All five companies are fully equipped, just like the main force in the mountains, the company is equipped with four light machine guns, and the battalion is directly under a heavy machine gun platoon!"

"With the extra troops, I set up a recruit company, and I also equipped them with rifles and machine guns according to the weapon standards of the main force, so that Jin Kai of the Northwest Army temporarily acted as the company commander!"

"In addition, I found a few fighters who could shoot mortars, and separated them into a mortar platoon."

"Although there were no mortars, the regimental commander in the valley left a lot of shells, and I brought a hundred to send them out. If we can capture a mortar from the devils, we can go into battle on the spot! ”

"Even the artillery platoon is there!" The Invalids were stunned for a moment, but a smile quickly appeared on his face.

He affirmed very confidently: "Lao He, I guarantee that the first battle since the formation of our fourth battalion will definitely surprise the regiment commander!" ”

"Battalion Commander Rong, Regiment Commander is in a hurry!" Suddenly, the operator rushed in.

Before the invalids could receive the telegram, they judged with a smile on their faces: "It must be a combat mission!" ”

After quickly reading the content of the telegram, the invalids were stunned for a full minute before reacting: "Although it is not a combat mission, but the regiment commander asked us to report the combat effectiveness, it proves that the regiment commander has begun to consider letting us participate in the battle!" The next telegram is definitely a combat mission. Lao He, let's call back the head of the regiment together, the sooner the better! ”
