Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 262 Commander's Compensation (Third Update!)
"Artillery battalion! Lao Zeng, you really dare to think! If our independent regiment is equipped with artillery battalion, does the military region need to have an artillery regiment? What do you want the brother troops to think of us?" Wang Ping asked back, shaking his head.

"Commander, what do you mean, the military division will let us turn in the captured artillery!" Zeng Quan immediately realized.

Wang Ping shook his head and replied, "It's not asking us to hand it in, but we have to take the initiative to hand it in!"

"Although the main force captured Laiyuan City and seized all the equipment and materials hoarded by the Japanese army in Laiyuan City. But we know that ammunition is the main part of these equipment and materials. Although there are many weapons, they must be Light weapons. As for heavy weapons, they are all equipped by devils, and they are here.”

"This battle can have such a result. All the troops worked hard, and the casualties were very heavy. We can't eat meat, let the main force only eat soup!"

"But the casualties of our independent regiment must be the largest among all the troops, and we seized these artillery pieces. If we just divide them up like this, I'm worried that the comrades below will have opinions!" Zeng Quan argued unwillingly.

"No, Lao Zeng, you're wrong!" Wang Ping shook his head and vetoed.

"The casualties of our independent regiment are indeed heavy, but don't forget, if there is no main force to attack Laiyuan City, is it possible for the Japanese army to return to aid Laiyuan City? If the Japanese army does not return to aid Laiyuan City, our independent regiment alone may be The devil's opponent?"

"No!" Zeng Quan replied shaking his head.

"If the Japanese army doesn't return to aid Laiyuan City, our independent regiment will be killed by the Japanese army until noon tomorrow at most, and the entire army will be wiped out!"

"That's right, without the main reinforcements, our independent regiment will not be spared if we attack Laiyuan City, and we will not have a chance to fight the battle that just ended, so we won't be able to seize so many heavy weapons!"

"Then how do you plan to distribute these heavy weapons, commander!" Zeng Quan stopped trying to defend himself and asked Wang Ping directly.

"Leave six mountain cannons and form a mountain cannon company. The remaining field cannons, mountain cannons, and infantry cannons are all turned in!"

"Of course, more ammunition can be kept. The military division won Laiyuan City, and there must be a lot of ammunition seized. Among the shells we seized, all the shells of the mountain artillery were kept."

After answering, Wang Ping stared at Zeng Quan and continued to ask, "How many mortars and heavy machine guns are there?"

Zeng Quan replied immediately: "Each infantry brigade of the Japanese army is equipped with a mortar squadron and a heavy machine gun squadron. Each regiment of the Imperial Association Army is also equipped with a firepower company."

"Because of the heavy losses of the troops, when the devil infantry marched away in a hurry, they only took away the standard equipment of two infantry brigades. The rest were left in the supply brigade. Excluding the battlefield that was blown up by us, there were a total of 23 mortars. There are 24 machine guns. As for light machine guns and grenade grenades, they are all scattered on the battlefield. There are too many of them, and they are still being counted, but they are all the latest Type [-] machine guns equipped by the Japanese army, and their performance is better than crooked ones. The seized Type [-] machine guns have all the crooked handles replaced, and the equipment is unified!"

After thinking about it, Wang Ping replied: "The mortars left four mortar platoons and a mortar company, and the heavy machine guns are the same. Including the rest of our independent regiment, a total of 21 mortars are left. Cannons, 21 heavy machine guns, and the extra mortars and heavy machine guns are all handed over!"

"It's still the rule just now, you can keep a little more ammunition."

"As for other weapons, our independent regiment only left the equipment of one main regiment and one garrison battalion, and handed over all the excess equipment!"

"You and the political commissar will come up with a list immediately, and we will jointly send it to the commander, which is also a big gift to the commander, thanks to the military division for helping us so much!)"

Early the next morning, as soon as the commander stepped into the war room, the chief of staff followed him in with a look of excitement.

"Commander, Commander Chen just sent a telegram. The troops have already withdrawn, and all the seized materials have been scattered around the base area. The logistics department is counting the seizures!"

"According to the information, there are quite a lot of supplies in Laiyuan City, and this time the logistics department is busy!" The happy commander rarely made a joke.

Then he continued to ask the chief of staff: "What good news!"

"There is really a lot of good news, from Commander Chen, from Wang Ping, who do you want to hear first, Commander!"

"I just talked about Commander Chen, now we're talking about the Independent Corps!" the commander decided.

"Regimental Commander Wang reported that the Independent Regiment seized all the equipment of the Japanese army's supply and artillery brigades. According to statistics, there are more than [-] infantry artillery, mountain artillery, and field artillery!"

"Wang Ping, Cheng Xiao, and Zeng Quan jointly sent a telegram, hoping to leave six mountain cannons to form a mountain cannon company, and hand over all the remaining heavy weapons. There are six infantry cannons, six mountain cannons, and three field cannons." !"

"There are also 15 mortars and 19 heavy machine guns. Wang Ping and the others want to keep 21 mortars and 21 heavy machine guns. The three main battalions and one garrison battalion are each equipped with a mortar platoon. A heavy machine gun platoon. The regiment headquarters will form a mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, and a mountain artillery company to form a fire battalion!"

"That's right, Chief of Staff, Wang Ping's performance this time is much more mature. Several main regiments have helped him a lot, and he knows that there is meat to eat with him!" the commander praised without hesitation.

Then he directly ordered: "Call back Wang Ping and the others, and say that I agree. For other weapons, after leaving the configuration of a main force regiment and a garrison battalion, all of them will be handed over to the military division!"

"Yes, Commander!" The chief of staff was also very happy.

He then asked: "Commander, with this batch of heavy weapons, the artillery battalion of the military sub-district really lives up to its name. There are also mortars. After the artillery companies of the three main regiments are replenished, another artillery company can be formed!" "

"No, there must be more than one artillery company. Commander Chen and the others must have captured a lot of mortars and heavy machine guns when they captured Laiyuan City!"

The commander shook his head and replied: "No, I plan to take all the heavy weapons that Wang Ping turned in this time!"

"With the weapons stored by the Japanese army in Laiyuan City and the weapons we seized on the battlefield, there is no problem in forming three regiments. Our Eighth Route Army has always been waiting for guns, and it is impossible to let the captured weapons idle. Therefore, I plan to Report to the military region and headquarters to expand the three main regiments into detachments, and each detachment has two regiments under its jurisdiction."

"What about Wang Ping's independent regiment!" The chief of staff immediately noticed the problem, staring at the commander and asked back.

"No expansion for the time being. Wang Ping has been promoted too fast, let him practice more in the position of regiment leader! Also, the independent regiment suffered heavy losses this time, and the hastily expanded into a detachment will definitely affect its combat effectiveness!" The commander shook his head and explained.

"They are the first-line troops facing the Japanese army, and their combat effectiveness must not be affected!"

"I see!" The chief of staff showed a sudden realization expression.

"Commander, the reason why you agreed with the independent regiment to form a firepower battalion and the battalion to form a firepower company is to compensate the independent regiment for not expanding."

"And with the firepower company and firepower battalion, as long as the time is right, the independent regiment can be expanded into a detachment at any time!"

After finishing speaking, the chief of staff took out a telegram: "Commander, your thoughts are really the same as those of the two front-line regiment leaders!"

"The two heads of the regiment sent a telegram together, thinking that after the Japanese army suffered heavy losses this time, they would definitely shrink their troops to protect the county from being attacked. In this way, the countryside in several counties around Laiyuan would be empty. The two heads of the regiment I hope to stay and take this opportunity to expand our base and expand our troops!"

"I think I can agree. With the expansion of the base area, the troops will definitely expand. By then, the regiment will be expanded into a detachment, and it will be justified!"
