Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 117
Chief of Staff Xiong Botao couldn't help but interrupted: "This is more than 2000 people, and the main force of the military region doesn't have many people. Wang Ping, don't lie about the military situation for the sake of establishment!"

Yang Chengwu also looked at Wang Ping with a disbelieving expression.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, everything I just said is true. If you don't believe me, Commander, you can go to the independent battalion to roll the rolls in person. There are 500 people, and I guarantee that there will be only a few more!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

"How did you do it? Especially the more than 700 prisoners of the Imperial Association Army. The Imperial Association Army generally does not act alone. If you capture so many Imperial Association Army soldiers, you must eliminate many devils. Otherwise, the Imperial Association Army will definitely I will not voluntarily surrender!" Xiong Botao did not intend to stop, and continued to ask the bottom line.

In order to win the establishment of the independent regiment, Wang Ping prepared very well.

As soon as Xiong Botao asked the question, Wang Ping produced several battle summary reports that he had prepared long ago.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, this is the summary report of the few fairly large-scale battles fought by the Independent Battalion during this period. Because it was too difficult to contact the military region, we did not report it. The reason why we have so many emperors All the prisoners of the Alliance Army are clearly written on it!"

Xiong Botao snatched several reports, distributed half of them to Yang Chengwu, and began to browse.

During the whole process, although the two only exchanged reports, they didn't say a word.But Wang Ping still saw the shock from the eyes of the two of them.

As soon as the commander Yang Chengwu put down the report, he stared at Wang Ping and asked, "You tell the truth, how many Japanese troops have been wiped out before and after the independent battalion entered Laiyuan!"

Wang Ping immediately replied: "Combining the results of the army's piecemeal battles, the number of devils eliminated by the independent battalion should exceed 800 people, an infantry brigade."

"There must be more than 800 people!" Chief of Staff Xiong Botao interrupted suddenly.

"The number of enemies wiped out in the summary report alone exceeds 800, and these 800 people saw the dead bodies of the devils. There must be many who did not see the dead bodies. Also, the summary report said that they also killed a large number of people with guerrilla warfare. Devil, because the corpses were transported away, there is no way to count the results of the battle. But I believe that the number of enemies wiped out must be quite a lot!"

"If you add them all up, I think the number of independent battalions who wiped out devils in Laiyuan should exceed 1000!"

"It's unbelievable. When the independent battalion sent troops to Laiyuan, there were more than 200 people, and there were not many machine guns. In just over half a month, it not only expanded the size of the troops by more than ten times, but also eliminated thousands of devils. As for the Imperial Association Army, there must be so many, this can be called a great victory!"

"It must be a great victory! In the last anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, except for our first military division, the other military divisions fought for so long and did not eliminate so many devils! Wang Ping, you boy shocked me so much, you always created a war for me!" Another surprise!" Commander Yang Chengwu replied very positively, looking at Wang Ping with excitement and appreciation.

Then he turned his attention to the several summary reports in front of him: "Chief of Staff, please summarize the contents of the report and report it to the military region. Our independent battalion directly under the First Military Division has won such a big victory. Give credit to the Independence Battalion."

Xiong Botao understood immediately: "I'll do it right away. With this battle report, the military region's opposition to our expansion of the independent battalion into an independent regiment will be much smaller. If there are still people who object at that time, he will bring half of his team if he is capable." The troops of the battalion went deep into the enemy's rear and killed so many little devils and came back."

After Xiong Botao sat aside to summarize the situation, Yang Chengwu immediately stared at Wang Ping and continued to ask: "The expansion of the independent battalion into an independent regiment requires not only soldiers, but also equipment. Tell me, how much good equipment did you Wang Ping get in Laiyuan?" .Based on what I know about you, if you don't have that strength, you wouldn't take the initiative to come to my headquarters to ask for an officer!"

Seeing Wang Ping's hesitation, Yang Chengwu scolded directly: "Don't worry, the expansion of the Independent Battalion is coming soon, even if you have the best equipment, I won't take it! If you have all the wealth, I will let Commander Nie go to work in the military area." I also know. You know, Commander Nie also ordered you to be the battalion commander of the independent battalion. Commander Nie should also know that you have achieved such good results."

Wang Ping knew very well that Yang Chengwu's seemingly high-sounding answer implied a lot of deep meaning.

Whether it is to report the achievements of the independent battalion in Laiyuan to the military region or report the current real strength of the independent battalion, the purpose is to promote the expansion of the independent battalion into an independent regiment.At the same time, he also told the military area that Wang Ping brought about the independent battalion's situation. The expanded independent regiment can do without anyone, but it cannot live without Wang Ping.

After all, there are many people in the military region who can be regimental leaders. If they don't have enough military exploits and strength, even if Commander Nie has a lot of trust in Wang Ping, he can't insist on appointing Wang Ping as the independent regiment leader.

But with these military exploits and Wang Ping's prestige in the independent regiment is different, even if someone in the military region wants to join the independent regiment, no one dares to take Wang Ping's position.

Because, once the independent battalion is expanded into an independent regiment, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment is a red line that no one can move.

After all, the Eighth Route Army had just set off on the Anti-Japanese War, and its strength was still very small. Every regiment was very important to the Eighth Route Army.It can be said that once the independent battalion was expanded into an independent regiment, and Wang Ping served as the regiment leader, Wang Ping's name would immediately appear at the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Thinking of this, Wang Ping immediately thanked Yang Chengwu: "Thank you, Commander!"

The serious expression on Yang Chengwu's face was directly covered by a smile. Being able to say this sentence shows that Wang Ping has already seen through what he said just now.

Not only has rich combat command ability, but also is an old Red Army, and at the same time has such a high comprehension ability.Given time, Wang Ping's development will definitely exceed his imagination.

After nodding his head in satisfaction and appreciation, Yang Chengwu waved his hand and said, "Don't give me such fake things. Fighting good battles and killing more devils is the best thank you to me. Shake out all your wealth, Let the chief of staff gather together and report to the military region, and then settle the matter of the independent regiment as soon as possible! This way you can return to Laiyuan as soon as possible, and prepare to deal with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the devils!"

"Yes, Commander! When I came to the division, the independent battalion was equipped with two infantry guns, six standard 81mm mortars, 17 grenadiers, and seven Type 24 heavy machine guns. There are 792 handles, five made in the Czech Republic, 398 pieces of 128 big covers, middle official, Mauser rifles, and old slides, a total of [-] pieces, and [-] pistols of various types, with sufficient ammunition!" Wang Ping Bamboo Tube He poured out all the data he knew like pouring beans.

"Hiss..." Yang Chengwu gasped, then looked at Wang Ping in disbelief.

Xiong Botao, who was summarizing the report, also stopped and looked at Wang Ping with a disbelieving expression.

Wang Ping also knew why the two of them were so surprised. The first division had the highest equipment and combat effectiveness in the military area, but even so, the three main regiments did not have an artillery company.And Wang Ping's small independent battalion actually has the equipment of an artillery company and more than half of the equipment of a heavy machine gun company.

As for machine guns, one main battalion has more machine guns than the two main division regiments.

With such good equipment, no wonder Wang Ping had the guts to stay in Laiyuan City to fight against the devils from the same brigade, and he had the confidence to go directly to the military division to make preparations.

"Okay, Wang Ping, you're fine, you've done a good job. Chief of Staff, write it all down and report it to the military region together. Not surprisingly, there should be no problem with the independent regiment. With such good equipment, Commander Nie will certainly not Let him be free, Wang Ping, you just wait to be the head of the regiment!" Yang Chengwu, who reacted from the shock, was very happy, and patted Wang Ping on the shoulder and said affirmatively!
