Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 120

Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, Feng Tao, deputy head, and He Wen, deputy political commissar, also fixed their eyes on Cheng Xiao, eyes full of expectation.

On the way back, these people have asked themselves more than once how much wealth the independent group has, and what kind of strength the independent group they are about to take up has.But because what he knew was only the general situation before departure, Wang Ping never gave them a clear answer.

Now political commissar Cheng Xiao is also here, and the people in the conference room are all regimental-level cadres worthy of the name of the independent regiment, so there is no need to hide them.

After thinking about it, he said directly to Cheng Xiao: "Old Cheng, while everyone is here, let everyone know about the family background of our independent regiment, and also make everyone more confident when facing devils. I just want to listen too, the troops During this period of time, we have been fighting traitors and lackeys, and we have brought back so many good things.”

Cheng Xiao's face showed a look of pride from the bottom of his heart, and then he replied: "Let me talk about weapons first. According to the latest statistics, our independent regiment has two infantry artillery, six mortars, and seven heavy machine guns. 26 handles, 7 made in the Czech Republic, 21 grenades, 997 three-eight covers, medium official, old sleeves, 652 domestic rifles such as Mauser, and 130 pistols. The extra weapons are all It was seized from those running dogs and traitors in Laiyuan!"

"As for the ammunition, I only use four words to describe it: enough ammunition!"

"Next is the financial aspect. Now I have a total of 310 yuan in oceans, 27 yuan in large yellow croakers, and 81 yuan in small yellow croakers. All kinds of gold and silver jewelry add up to eight catties, all of which were seized from traitors. Yes. My idea is to leave 360 pieces of ocean, and the remaining ocean and gold, plus those gold and silver jewelry, will be handed over to the military division!"

"The rest is some material reserves: the bulk is food, which I have introduced to you just now. Because there are too many other materials and they are very messy, I will not introduce them one by one. After the regiment headquarters is on the right track, I will Hand over to Director Jiang one by one!"

These newcomers to the Independence Regiment are all old Red Army and veteran cadres. Whether it was the previous Red Army period or the current Eighth Route Army period, they are all used to living a hard life.Now that they suddenly heard that a new regiment has so much wealth, even surpassing the military region, the shock of several people can be imagined.With his mouth open, he didn't react for a long time.

Deng Hongtao, director of the Political Department, was the first to react, and then said to Wang Ping and Cheng Xiao with emotion: "The head of the delegation, the political commissar, is so surprising!"

"I originally thought that our independent regiment was poor and empty, and we had to rely on ourselves to fight everything. I didn't expect that you all prepared your family resources, and the few of us came to eat ready-made ones! This level of equipment, if it is placed in the military area, it can be done. Form two regiments!"

If there is no heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, with the current wealth and staffing of the Independence Regiment, it will not take long for the Independence Regiment to develop into a well-deserved main force in the military region.

However, who would have thought that the independent group would face an unprecedented crisis of life and death just after its establishment.

Seeing the new regiment-level cadres talking more and more excitedly, Wang Ping had to pour cold water on them and let them understand the current situation that the independent regiment was facing.Otherwise, the four words that a proud soldier must be defeated will definitely be verified by the independent regiment!
"Okay, I'm so happy that the political commissar has finished talking to everyone, and now it's my turn to tell everyone something unhappy!" Wang Ping suddenly broke the warm atmosphere in the conference room.

"According to the information, the Japanese army in Laiyuan City is expanding into a mixed brigade with a total strength of 500 people. It has a mixed artillery brigade and a cavalry brigade. The combat effectiveness is strong!"

"The Imperial Association Army in Laiyuan City is also expanding. From the current garrison regiment to a garrison brigade, the total strength is 500 people, including an artillery company and a heavy machine gun company. The strength should not be underestimated!"

"Why do you say that? According to the information sent by the underground party, the performance and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army some time ago caused great dissatisfaction among the Japanese. In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese army's control over the Imperial Association Army, the Japanese army A veteran of an infantry squadron was transferred to the Royal Association Army Garrison Brigade to serve as the deputy and instructor of an officer above the company. On the surface, it is to assist the officers of the Imperial Association Army to command and train troops, but in fact it is to control the military power of the Imperial Association Army in disguise!"

"In this way, the puppet army we will face next will not be as vulnerable as the ones we encountered before."

"The Japanese army plus the Imperial Association Army is 1 people. So far, the total strength of the Japanese mixed brigade has reached 4000, and the Imperial Association Army has also recruited nearly 2000 people. This is not counted, whether it is the Japanese Army or the Imperial Association Army , It is to form and reorganize an army and train an army."

"During this period of time, the Japanese and puppet troops were stationed in the barracks in Laiyuan City, and the sound of guns and artillery did not stop, which made the people of Laiyuan City panic. We deduced that this must be the Japanese and puppet troops conducting live ammunition training again. At the same time, I also I can tell everyone with certainty that once the Japanese and puppet troops have completed their reorganization and formed combat effectiveness, we will be the first to be attacked.”

After finishing speaking, Wang Ping ordered Zeng Quan: "Old Zeng, tell some new comrades about our grievances with the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan, so that everyone can understand more clearly the dangerous situation our independent group is facing in Laiyuan City. !"

With Wang Ping's previous foreshadowing, plus Zeng Quan's introduction and analysis, the faces of several people could no longer see the full confidence just now.

Several people all had a sullen face and didn't speak, thinking about things.

After a full minute, Deng Hongtao sighed and said: "Regimental Commander, I finally understand why we have to recruit so many recruits. Once the Japanese army dispatched heavy troops to encircle us, the independent regiment will be cut off from all connections with the outside world." At that time, if there is not enough recruits to supplement the troops, after a few battles, the main force will be completely wiped out. At that time, no matter how lucky we are, the independent regiment will inevitably end in total destruction."

Jiang Hongchun, the head of the logistics department, also said solemnly: "There is also a lot of pressure on the logistics reserve! No one knows how long the devil's next heavy encirclement will last. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, we have to continue Stock up on food!"

"By the way, there are also medicines. The Japanese army encircled and suppressed heavily, and the troops must have suffered heavy casualties. Without enough medicines, many wounded who could have survived died in vain. You know, after the wounded recovered, they became veterans, and they could save a wounded man. Just save one!"

Wang Ping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help taking a high look at the logistics chief from the military region.

Facing the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japanese army, what I thought most about was how to defeat the devils with the least cost. I never thought that there were so many preparations in terms of logistics.

Hearing what Jiang Hongchun said now, Wang Ping realized that he still had many deficiencies in logistics.

After glancing at Jiang Hongchun very appreciatively, Wang Ping ordered decisively: "From now on, I will hand over all these matters to you, Director Jiang. Political commissar, after the meeting is over, you will have a handover with Director Jiang, and let Director Jiang Get familiar with the situation as soon as possible. He is a professional in logistics, and he must be better than us!"

"Also, Director Jiang, the medicines and food you just mentioned, we definitely don't have enough. Here I authorize you to use 5000 yuan from the funds to buy them. If there is not enough, add more, especially medicines. The more the better. If you can't buy them If you arrive, you can find a way to find the surrounding Jinsui Army and the Central Army, they must have it in their hands, at worst we spend some more oceans!"

"Leader, please rest assured, I, Jiang Hongchun, guarantee with my head that I will definitely complete the task!" Jiang Hongchun had a feeling that a soldier would die for his confidant, and assured him with a face full of confidence.
