"You go back and hand over the more than 1,800 prisoners in the hands of the brigade directly under you, and all of them will be handed over to the new regiment. In addition, the three main regiments of the brigade directly under the brigade, each regiment draws 500 veterans out, and the whole company can be transferred, but the cadres above the deputy battalion cannot be withdrawn, a total of 1,500 people, also stay together and join the new regiment! ”

The commander's decision was like a thunderclap, and the shocked chief of staff was stunned and did not react for a long time.

It took a full minute for him to react, and he asked rhetorically with a look of disbelief.

"Why?"

"Commander, in this way, there are only three thousand people left in the brigade directly under it, when will it be restored to full strength!"

"Now there are battles going on everywhere in the base areas, and even the new recruits are on the line, and after returning to the military region, there are no soldiers at all to replenish the troops in a short period of time......

The reaction of the chief of staff was expected by the commander.

No one knows when the next battle of the direct brigade will begin, and as the chief of staff of the direct brigade, he must ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops. Only in this way will the troops not panic when they encounter unexpected situations and will they be able to calmly cope with the battle.

So, the commander's brow only furrowed for a moment and replied: "I can tell you the reason, but you must keep it a secret!" ”

"According to the intelligence, in order to recapture Linfen, the Japanese army transferred 30,000 elites from the northwest of Shanxi to kill the new regiment, including a heavy mountain artillery wing, a tank brigade, and a cavalry wing......"

"It can be said that the new regiment has reached a critical moment of life and death, and at this time, the direct brigade will not help, when will it help!"

"Also, the reason why the direct brigade achieved such a great result in this war that has just ended. On the one hand, it is because the soldiers have used their lives, and on the other hand, because the new regiment has built a good platform for us and created so many good fighters. ”

"We can't take advantage of it, take the benefits and slip away, and watch the new group be wiped out by the heavy soldiers killed by the devil!"

"Besides, we are all the Eighth Route Army, as long as it is to fight devils, it doesn't matter if the brigade under us is dismantled now!"

30,000 Japanese troops, and they were all elite troops who had just come down from the front line, and the chief of staff was directly frightened.

But he is not a person who does not have a sense of the overall situation, you must know that the equipment used by the brigade under his direct command now, including a rifle, was supported by the new regiment at the beginning.

There is only one reason, everyone is from the Eighth Route Army, and they are all from the Taiyue Military Region.

With a frown, he made a decision: "Please rest assured, commander, I will go and transfer troops now!" ”

"I will give instructions to the three regiment commanders and try to draw veterans as much as possible. The veterans are gone, and we can retrain. But the new regiment must not be wiped out by the devils, and the fourth division cannot be occupied by the devils! ”

A day later, the headquarters of the new regiment, regiment commander Wang Ping, political commissar Huang Yuanqiang, chief of staff Zhong Chenggong, and the commanders of the five main battalions, all of them were concentrated in the small headquarters. Except for Wang Ping and Huang Yuanqiang, who knew that the devil was about to attack with heavy troops, they were worried in their hearts. The other five or six are still basking in the joy and excitement of the victory.

"Alright, let's have a meeting!" It wasn't until Wang Ping opened his mouth that the lively conference room fell silent.

Seeing that the military and political commanders of the new regiment all looked serious, several subordinates realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly sat down and waited for Wang Ping's next words.

"Each battalion will first report the real situation of its own troops!" Wang Ping didn't satisfy everyone's curiosity, and asked unexpectedly.

Under Wang Ping's signal, Xiong Changhe, the commander of the first battalion, was the first to stand up: "Regiment commander, political commissar, chief of staff, the first battalion still has 386 people to fight, the recruit company has all replenished the troops, and it is dead in name, and the garrison battalion has also been replenished with more than 100 people, and there is still a shelf left, less than 100 people." But the equipment is basically there, and the remaining more than 300 people are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, as long as the qualified soldiers are replenished, the troops will be able to restore their combat effectiveness immediately, and the combat effectiveness is only strong and not weak! ”

Xiao Yunshan then stood up and reported: "There are 359 people left in the second battalion, and the other situation is similar to that of the first battalion. In addition, we have nearly 200 lightly and seriously wounded people who can recover and return to the army at any time! ”

Yan Song, the commander of the third battalion, then stood up and reported: "There are still 489 people left in the third battalion, and the recruit company is gone, but there are still more than 210 people in the garrison battalion, and there are 153 lightly and seriously wounded!" ”

"There are 329 people left in the fourth battalion, and the other situation is similar to the first and second battalions, with 214 light and serious wounded!" The fourth battalion commander, Invalids, stood up and reported.

The commander of the assault battalion, Jin Kai, then reported: "The assault battalion still has 458 people to fight, and 132 are lightly and seriously wounded......"

It took a full twenty minutes for the commanders of all the units directly under the new regiment, including the cavalry battalion, to finish explaining the situation of the troops.

After the final report of the guard company commander Hong Ruijun was completed, Zhong Chenggong stood up and concluded: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the main force of the new regiment now has 2,158 combatable soldiers, 628 people left in the four garrison battalions, and in addition, we have 1,064 light and serious wounded. ”

"In the whole battle, the main force lost 2,468 people, the garrison battalion sacrificed 689 people, the local guerrillas sacrificed 158 people, and the civilian casualties 1,065 people!"

Wang Ping, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

"Comrades, in the battle that just ended, we eliminated thousands of little devils, and even took Linfen, killed the commander of the devil's major general brigade, and achieved an unprecedented victory. Although the troops paid a very heavy price for this, those comrades who sacrificed died on the battlefield of fighting little devils. If we let them know that we have eliminated so many devils, I am sure they will be very pleased! ”

"However, what I want to tell you is that this battle is not over yet, and the real bitter battle can be said to have just begun!"

"According to intelligence: in order to recapture Linfen and retaliate against us, the Japanese North China Front sent 30,000 elites from the northwest front of Shanxi to deal with us at one time. When the commander left, he promised that he would draw troops from other military divisions to attack from the back of the Japanese army, dragging at least 10,000 little devil elites! ”

"However, even so, we still have to face 20,000 little devils, including a heavy mountain artillery wing, a cavalry wing, and a chariot brigade!"

"For our new regiment now, the 20,000 Japanese elite is definitely an unshakable behemoth."

"It is for this reason that I said that the bitter battle that really belongs to our new regiment has just begun!"

Xiong Changhe, who has always been very cheerful, stuttered at the combat meeting for the first time.

"Commander...... You...... You're not wrong...... The devil really transferred a division...... 30,000 elites to deal with us! ”

"Only more, no less!" Wang Ping nodded in affirmation.

Xiong Changhe was stunned, and when he reacted, he shouted with a desperate face: "There are so many devils, we only have two thousand people, and there is a huge disparity in strength from ten to one...... What's more, the devils still have heavy artillery and airplanes, as long as the sky is bright, the battlefield is their world. There is no need to fight this battle at all, and we have no certainty of victory. ”

"Regiment commander, I suggest that the troops directly abandon the base area, break it into pieces, and fight guerrilla warfare with the devils, but it really can't be done, go directly into the mountains, try to avoid a frontal decisive battle, and save as much as the troops can preserve!"
