"The Eighth Route Army does have this rule, battlefield captures must be handed over, and then distributed uniformly to ensure fairness. This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army has strong combat effectiveness and defeats the imperial army again and again! Major General Matsumoto replied with a calm face.

The chief of staff said: "Your Excellency the general is right, fairness ensures that the commanders of the various units of the Eighth Route Army have no selfish motives and dare to fight bravely. And it is precisely because the government army of China and other local armies cannot be fair that the commanders of various units on the battlefield will compete for fame and profit, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and then they will be defeated in the hands of our imperial army again and again! ”

Rear Admiral Matsumoto nodded in agreement, and then shifted the conversation back to Shinkaichi.

"Now the new regiment is out of artillery battalions, and there are no heavy artillery! Compared to the imperial army, they lost another advantage. As long as the Imperial Army carries a sufficient number of artillery and heavy artillery, we don't have to fear them even if we fight at night! ”

"And their upcoming recruit battalions and garrison battalions are also a little concerned, closely monitor the strength and equipment of these troops, I don't want to encircle and attack a new regiment in the future, and suddenly another unit appears on the battlefield that we don't know about!"

The intelligence staff officer immediately replied: "Hey, I will arrange it after I go down!" ”

At this moment, Matsumoto suddenly thought of the large amount of equipment that the brigade lacked to recover its strength.

With a frown, he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "There are still two days to go, and the equipment and ammunition that the headquarters has sent to us will be ready, are the troops we went to the headquarters to take over this batch of equipment and ammunition ready?" ”

"Hey, it's ready, ready to go!" The chief of staff immediately replied.

"The brigade is directly subordinate to the baggage brigade and is responsible for taking over all the equipment and ammunition and transporting it by car. According to your orders, we will take the road outside the control area of the new regiment, although it will take two more hours, but it will be safe! ”

"In addition, the inferior post is also ready to transfer a cavalry brigade, a mixed brigade, an armored car squadron, and an engineer squadron directly under the brigade to protect the safe transportation of these equipment and ammunition to Linfen City!"

Major General Matsumoto thought for a moment and gave the chief of staff a very positive answer.

"Armored squadrons also take part in the operation, that's a good idea!"

"Disperse the armored vehicles of the armored squadron among the cars, which are the mobile points of fire for the entire fleet if the convoy is attacked."

"I completely agree with this plan, and you will formulate the specific action plan, Chief of Staff!"

The command of the Taiyue Military Region, the news of the military region's request for the disbandment of the artillery battalion by the new regiment also came.

The first reaction of the commanders of several other military divisions was to take out all the artillery that they usually hid and tuck, and then report to the military region and ask for the formation of an artillery company.

"Commander, your reputation has been tarnished by this rumor. However, it was not without benefits, and all the family backgrounds of several divisional commanders and regiment commanders were forced out at once. I didn't know if I didn't know it, I was shocked when I saw it, I didn't expect that our military region would hide so many artillery pieces, and the commanders, who were usually inconspicuous, each held an artillery company in their hands. ”

"This Wang Ping, he really dares to do it!" The commander scolded angrily.

Of course, he wasn't really angry. Seeing a puzzled expression on the political commissar's face, the commander immediately said that he had made a joke with Wang Ping when he was in the new regiment, and then added.

"I thought Wang Ping was just talking, but I didn't expect him to dare to say such a thing!"

"However, as long as you can convince the devil that this is true, it's okay to carry the black cauldron. When you go to a new regiment later, you will definitely ask him for at least one regiment's equipment as compensation. No, at least one brigade, my face is worth the equipment of a brigade no matter where I put it! ”

"Call back to those commanders and regiment commanders immediately, and the military district agrees to their request to form an artillery company! Now that this black cauldron has been memorized, let's memorize it more realistically. Didn't I bring back a lot of artillery from Wang Ping, take out nine guns, and send them to the commanders and regiment commanders below, so that their artillery companies are all full. ”

"The infantry artillery company of the brigade directly under it has been directly expanded into an artillery battalion, with an infantry artillery company and a heavy mortar company under its jurisdiction!"

"There are still a lot of heavy mortars and shells that Wang Ping brought us from the headquarters, and they all took them out to form a heavy mortar company!"

After the news of the establishment of an artillery battalion in the military region spread, Major General Matsumoto, who was far away in Linfen City, believed even more in the news that the artillery battalion of the new regiment had been disbanded. And for sure: the new regiment already had no artillery units that could threaten the Imperial Army.

At the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment in Sanquan Town, Wang Ping also received the news from the military region and immediately realized that this was the commander of the military region cooperating with him in acting.

"The devil must be completely convinced by now that we have no artillery!" Wang Ping replied in the affirmative.

Then he ordered Zhong Chenggong: "Chief of Staff, give an order to the mountain artillery battalion, let them seize the time to train the troops, and the troops will form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps reached Wang Ping's ears, and then he saw the communications staff officer rushing into the war room.

The regiment commander, chief of staff, reconnaissance platoon sent an urgent telegram: "The Japanese army gathered hundreds of vehicles this morning, as well as a large number of troops, and even cavalry and armored vehicles, suddenly left the city and did not know where to go"

"The reconnaissance platoon deduced that the devils should have given up transporting equipment and ammunition by rail, and instead transported them by car by road!"

"Quite possibly!" Wang Ping's brows furrowed suddenly.

Then he ordered: "Chief of staff, you immediately contact the direct team to see if there is any movement on their side!" ”

In less than half an hour, the chief of staff returned, his face very solemn.

"Regiment Commander, you judged correctly, the devil really plans to transport equipment and ammunition to Linfen City by road!"

Then he proposed to Wang Ping: "Do you want me to take someone to kill me immediately and destroy the highway that the little devil is going to transport!" ”

"It's useless!" Wang Ping shook his head and replied!

There are several highways from Linfen City to the Devil's Logistics Base, and two of them are not within our base area. Send a large force to destroy the road, I promise, we will be discovered by the devils as soon as we leave the base area! ”

"The weapons and ammunition that the devils want to transport are related to the future of their brigades, and even if they do their best, they will send troops to guard the road and prevent us from destroying it. So, this plan doesn't work! ”

"Besides, the devil's escort force has infantry, cavalry, and armored troops, and there are fewer people going, so it's not fighting devils, it's sending them to death!"

"Then we will watch the devils send equipment and ammunition to Linfen City and form troops to attack our base area!" The chief of staff shouted with an unwilling expression.

Wang Ping replied with a calm face: "We can't stop the transportation of equipment and ammunition to Linfen City by road, but we have to let the devils know that even if they take the road, they will pay a lot of price, and the speed is slow, forcing them to take the railway again." ”
